Chapter 686: Nineteen Eighty-Eight(1/2)

(Book friends please leave recommendation votes and monthly votes, thank you all)

Time flies, and it’s the end of December in a blink of an eye.

All the equipment of "China-Hong Kong Industrial" was installed and production started.

Since the employees are craftsmen, in order to ensure quality, we temporarily manage looms, spinning machines, etc. at one-third of the quota, so there is a lot of equipment and surplus.

Therefore, there is no need to work three shifts for the time being, and all six to seven thousand female workers will work regular shifts for two to three months.

In the past two or three months, we have organized study and training every day for two hours. In the third month, we have to start re-evaluation. Only those who can easily complete the quota are qualified technical workers.

For joint ventures, regardless of seniority, only skilled workers who can complete the quota according to their production capacity will have their wages doubled directly.

In the third month, female workers who manage the number of machines that meet the standard should be able to receive a basic salary of more than 200 yuan, and job wages, job wages, meal breaks, night shift pay, etc. and other benefits should not be less than 150 yuan.

This means that the monthly income of a qualified skilled worker in "China-Hong Kong Industrial" will reach 400 yuan.

In 1987 or 1988 when the national average salary was only about 100 yuan a month, the monthly salary of "China-Hong Kong Industrial" was absolutely desirable.

"China-Hong Kong Industrial" promised to increase wages for workers when they first negotiated the joint venture. The average salary of employees exceeded 200 yuan in the month when the joint venture was successful.

Employees whose wages have been increased feel at ease, so a smooth transition has been achieved and employees do not lack enthusiasm.

Among the 30 Zhang Xia and others, the upper-level managers studied in Japan, and after returning from the inspection, they all seemed to be different people.

Why? They feel aggrieved because they not only find that there is a gap between China and Japan, but they also find that Chinese people live without dignity in Japan.

We can no longer be arrogant, let alone ignorant, and we must never deceive ourselves and others.

After they returned to China, they not only held themselves to strict standards, but also learned some Japanese-style inhumanity in management.

Huang Han announced the regulations that all middle and upper-level managers of "China-Hong Kong Industrial" will have the opportunity to go abroad for inspection and study, and 30 people will be selected to go to Japan next fall.

The criteria for selecting cadres to study abroad are very simple. The first is loyalty to the company.

Second, take the initiative to work and learn. Third, be able to unite cadres and employees.

Other cadres who were initially envious and jealous immediately changed their attitudes after hearing these three conditions.

Spending $1,000 at public expense to go to Japan for more than a week, and when you come back, you will be able to use a large Japanese color TV, cassette player, and refrigerator at home. Who would want to lose this opportunity?

If you say weird things and are judged as being unable to unite employees and cadres, you will be in big trouble.

Only by having no desires can we achieve without seeking. The cadres of "China-Hong Kong Industrial" are all ordinary people and they all have aspirations. They hope to go abroad and get one thousand US dollars. There is no doubt that their enthusiasm has been fully mobilized.

After "China-Hong Kong Industrial" promulgated the wage standards for skilled workers who could complete the quota, the six to seven thousand female workers who found that their incomes were likely to double again simply rushed to tell each other.

For a time, it became a common practice for the cadres and employees of "China-Hong Kong Industrial" to study culture and study technology, and the seven factory areas were full of vitality.

Every time he sees this scene, Huang Han will sigh at the power of capital. Capital is something that makes people both love and hate at the same time!

If there were no dollars earned from the U.S. stock market, how would there be capital to integrate the textile industry in Sanshui City? How would it be possible for these hard-working female workers to get remuneration worthy of their efforts?

It is more cost-effective to earn foreign exchange for the fabrics produced by "China-Hong Kong Industrial" without worrying about sales.

Qin Shujie, of course, wants to maximize her cost advantage for overseas sales. In addition to ensuring the supply of "gorgeous style" for domestic sales, she basically does not take the initiative to promote it.

However, it is easy for people to be cheap. The less "China-Hong Kong Industrial" fabrics are sold domestically, the more units and individuals come to purchase them.

The reason is very simple. Dozens of fabrics produced by "China-Hong Kong Industrial" have filled the domestic gap.

In the past, these types of fabrics on the domestic market were all imported from Guangdong and Fujian, and they were not imported through formal channels.

"China-Hong Kong Industrial" claimed to have invested US$100 million, and was reported by all major mainstream newspapers. The news was also broadcast on CCTV's News Broadcast.

Therefore, when it was first put into operation, many units and self-employed people came to Sanshui City to purchase, and many self-employed people who opened stores in commercial streets asked for distribution.

Can you pay for door-to-door purchases with cash? Do you require distribution? Don’t consider it for the time being! Production has not entered normalization and output is limited!

All in all, "China-Hong Kong Industrial" is operating well and its output is increasing steadily.

Since it has the right to import raw materials on its own, and can even import cotton from India and petrochemical raw materials from Saudi Arabia, it is impossible for "China-Hong Kong Industrial" to encounter the common phenomenon of domestic textile factories shutting down for materials.

As long as the imported raw materials are significantly lower than the export share, they can enjoy tariff preferences.

Therefore, the price advantage of "China-Hong Kong Industrial" textiles in the international market is obvious.

Since it is a new brand with no reputation or reputation, several international trading companies that are trying to cooperate are all from Qin Shujie’s old relationships.

The reason why people are willing to sell small quantities is entirely because of the trust Qin Shujie has accumulated.

Huang Han is very confident. Not only can he confirm that the price of "China-Hong Kong Industrial" textiles has an overwhelming advantage, he can also confirm that the quality also has an advantage!

He believes that as long as those gringos start distributing the fabrics of "China-Hong Kong Industrial", they will soon learn the taste.

Old relationships, old customers, decades of cooperation, etc. are not reasons. I believe that as long as they can get three points more profit, those foreigners will definitely turn their backs and become ruthless.

One of the main purchasing locations for textiles in Europe and the United States is actually Nigeria. In the early 1980s, this country's textile exports reached US$10 billion.

Huang Han is a prophet, and of course he knows that the vast majority of Nigerians in later generations will wear Chinese-made clothes and use Chinese-produced textiles.

You can be sure how vulnerable this kind of opponent is.

It can be concluded that the next order volume of "China-Hong Kong Industrial" will definitely increase month by month.

At that time, the female workers who had studied for two months must have adapted to managing the new machines, and the number of people they managed would have increased significantly, and they could start working two shifts.

At the same time, there must be a large-scale recruitment, and no matter what, more than 2,000 people will be recruited.

The city has given China-Hong Kong Industrial 1,500 acres of industrial land. We must not let weeds grow there. The hardening of the land is already in progress, and standard factory buildings will be built in the spring.

We strive to complete the relocation of the original "Dongfanghong Cloth Factory" around the National Day of 1988. The original factory area is temporarily rented to "Huameifeng" for the production of ready-made garments.

"Huameifeng" obviously has an independent factory area with a factory building of 70,000 to 80,000 square meters, so why does it still rent the place of the former "Dongfanghong Cloth Factory"?

That's why Huang Han's layout shows its value.

Sanshui City has become a well-known commodity distribution center in the country, with businesses from all walks of life flocking here. Even though the prices of houses in the commercial pedestrian street have increased, there is still no market.

The rent has doubled and there is still a lot of money to be had!

There is no increase in storefronts, but the inventory is being rolled in, which will inevitably affect the expansion of the market and cause inflated costs for merchants.

It’s time to rent out the “gorgeous-style” buildings facing the street to suppress the inflated rents.

This is done in a responsible manner. Although the market economy is important, it can never be separated from supervision. Government regulation is a must.

The current Sanshui City Government has not been able to realize this yet. It only thinks that businesses are coming in droves, the front houses on West Street are becoming more and more valuable, and the rents are getting higher and higher, which is a very good thing.

They simply don't realize that after businesses' operating costs are too high, they may be asked to choose another place with relatively cheaper housing prices and rents.

"Huameifeng" gradually rented out all the houses without any loss at all. Half of the rent received was used to rent the "Dongfanghong Cloth Factory" with a land area of ​​about 300 acres and a factory building of more than 100,000 square meters.

The key is that "Dongfanghong Cloth Factory" is located in the "Huangchen Neighborhood Committee", just a few steps away from North Street, so it is still convenient for employees to commute to get off work.

The development of the "Homeland Group" is in full swing, and the pre-sales of front-end houses are unprecedentedly popular. By the end of June 1988, all front-end houses in the back streets will be delivered.

By then, it will be able to alleviate the artificially high prices caused by insufficient supply and demand.

A price increase is a good thing, but it cannot be doubled. It can increase by a few points a month or 50% a year. It is quite ideal during this time period.

However, Huang Han's ideal is just wishful thinking, and he really can't predict what it will be like in the future, because the current Sanshui City is completely different from the one in history.



During this time, Huang Daozhou and Teacher Qiu had already participated in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal.

The quality of the CCTV team is of course unparalleled. The backup dancers, soundtracks, harmonies, etc. of "Start Over" and "Hongsu Hands" not only respect the original work of Huang Han's team, but also add some soundtracks.

All in all, the CCTV version's picture and sound should be considered to be in the current popular style. The director team is quite satisfied with Huang Daozhou and Teacher Qiu's interpretation.

This trip to the capital cannot be rushed. Huang Daozhou and Teacher Qiu participated in rehearsals for five consecutive days. Huang Daozhou also used the rehearsal breaks to engage in public relations.

The heat in the capital is extremely severe. This is the most important battlefield for the "Full Air Conditioning", and all the troops sent by the Zodiac Zhou are elite soldiers and generals.

Air conditioners will definitely be sold to major ministries and commissions, and it is the established goal to provide good services and win the praise of these cadres in Beijing.

"Full Power Enterprise" has four sales outlets in the capital. Tang Jianshe and Tao Jun are the heads of the Capital Sales Company of Full Power Enterprise.

These two boys were trained by Huang Daozhou, and they are also veterans who started their career with Huang Daozhou.

When Huang Daozhou came to the capital, of course these two young men accompanied him all the way.

Therefore, the two of them were able to interact with many leaders of CCTV, and it was essential to visit the leaders' homes in the evening.

Tang Jianshe and Tao Jun are handsome and have been working in sales for four or five years. They are good at dealing with people. Many leaders like them very much. They said that even if Huang Daozhou comes in person, these two young men can handle things equally well.

If a company wants to become bigger and stronger, how can it be possible not to cooperate with CCTV?

Huang Daozhou is paving the way for the next advertising campaign.

But he couldn't figure out why Huang Han insisted on not starting advertising on CCTV until the second half of 1989.

Alas! I really can’t explain some things clearly.

Price breakthroughs in 1988 led to a rush of buying, and everything was sold.

"Full Air Conditioner" is a conscientious product. The quality is good and the price is not more expensive than similar products. If you sell it with your eyes closed, you can achieve zero inventory by the end of 2088. Why waste advertising money?

The general manager of "Full Power Enterprise" has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala twice, and he has also written several best-selling movies. This publicity effect is enough, and the salespersons of Full Power Air Conditioners can tell great stories.

There are already more than fifty sales outlets, and the number is still increasing. One outlet sells an average of three to five units a day, and can sell 50,000 to 60,000 units a year.

Moreover, the purchase of air conditioners at this time is basically for large units and hotels. As long as the order is basically more than 30 units, there is really no need to worry about sales.
