Return to 1958 and build a century-old giant

Chapter 55: Fly Board

After leaving Hongxing Plastic Factory, Yang Wendong and Su Yiyi went to several other plastic factories.

This kind of simple plastic board is too easy for these plastic factories to produce. Yang Wendong naturally has to find a few more and then find the most suitable supplier.

A few days later, five potential suppliers all submitted quotations. In the end, Hongxing Plastic Factory's price ranked fourth, so it was selected by Yang Wendong.

The reason why we don’t choose the cheapest one is the summary of business experience in later generations. In a field that you don’t understand and several companies quote together, it is best not to choose the cheapest one.

Because the product is simple and the mold processing is also simple, Hongxing gave one week, and after one week, small batch production can be carried out.

On the other hand, Zhao Liming placed an order with the wood board factory, thus ensuring that his own factory could produce smoothly during this period.

One day, An Yongqiang drove a car to the Changxing Pest Control Factory.

"Mr. Yang, haha, I'm here to pick up the goods." As soon as An Yongqiang got out of the car, he saw Yang Wendong waiting, and also saw several boxes of goods beside him.

Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Ansheng, I thought of you first. This first batch of goods is all given to you. Zhao Sheng still has to wait a while."

"Then I have to thank Yang Sheng very much." An Yongqiang said with a smile.

Once the mouse traps are sold, he can get a share of the profits. Although each one is not much, if there are many, the total amount is still considerable.

Yang Wendong said: "The current production capacity is still not high enough, but it will be much better later. Ansheng needs to expand its channels as soon as possible."

"No problem." An Yongqiang nodded and said, "So far, your product is really effective. I have sold some to some ships before. Some cargo ships that went to Southeast Asia have already returned. They gave very good feedback and want to continue buying."

"Well, that's the best." Yang Wendong nodded.

He is very confident about the sticky mouse board. He believes that it will become the No. 0.1 rat extermination tool in the country in the future, and will naturally be the best choice in the market.

Although the prices they set now are not cheap.

But it is also because this thing has just appeared, various costs have not yet been spread out, the price of competing mouse cages is too expensive, and Yang Wendong and others want to make huge profits first.

The price will be determined based on the specific situation in the future!
Soon, a worker moved the goods into the trunk and back seat of the car.

"Then I'll go first." An Yongqiang said with a smile: "By the way, Mr. Yang, you'd better install a phone here, otherwise it will be inconvenient."

"Well, okay." Yang Wendong nodded.

Now that the business has started, he needs to install a telephone. Otherwise, he will have to rely on people to notify him of everything, which would waste time and efficiency.

He had visited several injection molding factories before, and one slightly better factory directly refused to negotiate with him because there was no phone number on Yang Wendong’s business card.

The role of the telephone in this era is not just communication, it can even be used as a basic condition to judge a person's strength, just like the most basic car in later generations.

How can you do business without even a phone?
Amid the roar of the car, An Yongqiang's car drove away again.

"I don't like this smell." Su Yiyi said, covering her nose.

Yang Wendong smiled and said, "You have to get used to it. We will buy it in the future."

"Really? This kind of car must be very expensive, right?" Su Yiyi asked curiously.

Yang Wendong nodded and said, "The inferior ones are about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and the better ones are more expensive."

Su Yiyi was surprised and asked, "That's more expensive than a house?"

"It's normal. Hong Kong doesn't have much industry, so imported things are of course expensive." Yang Wendong nodded. He also accidentally learned about the price of cars some time ago. It was outrageous. It was much more expensive than the cars in Hong Kong movies and TV series in the 1970s and 1980s.

He didn't ask others the specific reason, but he guessed that it might be because it was not long since the end of World War II, automobile production capacity was insufficient, and demand was high. Europe and the United States might not be able to meet their own market, so exports were naturally more expensive.

Another point is that container transportation has not yet been widely popularized, so it is unlikely that roll-on/roll-off cargo ships specifically for transporting cars will appear.

The mixed transportation mode will definitely double the shipping cost of cars.
"Oh." Su Yiyi nodded.

Yang Wendong added: "Take the mouse trap for example. We can buy it at a high price in Hong Kong, but this is not possible in some industrially developed countries. We may have to buy it at a lower price."

"Why?" Su Yiyi asked.

Yang Wendong explained: "Because they have a lot of steel in their own country, mouse traps are cheap, and even because of the chemical industry, rat poison is also cheap.

Although our mouse traps have advantages, we must also refer to the prices of competing products.”

"Oh." Su Yiyi nodded, and seemed to understand a little, because Yang Wendong had previously told her a lot about industry and society.

Yang Wendong added: "Let's go to the telephone company to apply for a phone. In the manufacturing industry, you have to spend money in various places."

Fortunately, I have the patent and a certain degree of negotiation power, which ensures that I can recover the payment for my goods quickly. Otherwise, in business, I am not afraid of not making money, but I am afraid of not being able to collect the money.

In his previous life, many companies were cheated and went bankrupt because of this reason.

As long as you have the money, installing the phone will be a breeze.

Afterwards, Yang Wendong arranged for lawyer Zhang Weida to register a patent for the sticky mouse board in more than 30 countries around the world. The cost alone was 3000 yuan, which made Yang Wendong very distressed.

Fortunately, after Hongxing Plastic Factory started mass production of plastic boards, the cost of the factory was further reduced. At the same time, the number of employees increased, and the daily shipment volume began to increase significantly.

In addition, Zhao Chengguang also established his own channels and began to place orders with the Changxing Pest Control Factory.

The factory also started to become busy, and the boss Yang Wen finally had some free time.

Since traveling through time to today, he has finally completed the first step in starting his career: a factory with only 30 or so people.

Although this is nothing in Hong Kong, it can guarantee that he has the foundation to continue to move up in Hong Kong.

However, this is not enough. The next 20 years will be a golden opportunity for Hong Kong's development. If we seize it, we can become one of the top wealthy families in Hong Kong.

Time quickly came to the beginning of June, and the weather in Hong Kong became very hot.

Of course, I can’t afford an air conditioner at the moment, but a few electric fans are still enough, although they are also very expensive because they are all imported from Japan.

In the office, Yang Wendong called Su Yiyi and others and said, "Look at this."

A few people followed the direction and saw a mouse trap on the table with some flies on it.

Su Yiyi asked: "How can a fly fly up there?"

Yang Wendong smiled and said, "This is our next product: fly trap."
