Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

The village party secretary really came to talk about road construction, and the other party had roughly calculated the cost.Yuan Xia asked for the data, so he recalculated and said: "The data is correct, you arrange people to repair the road, and I arrange people to buy raw materials."

The village party secretary stayed with Yuan Xia for lunch, but he declined.When he returned to the factory, he heard the guard tell him: "Two customers just came from Guangzhou."

"Where is it?" Yuan Xia was surprised, a client from Guangzhou?Came here specially to visit the factory?

"Xiao Ma is accompanying them to visit the workshop, speaking with a northern accent." The guard said.

Yuan Xia raised his eyebrows and walked quickly towards the workshop.

The workers had all gone to eat after get off work. Ma Dongfang accompanied two customers, a man and a woman, to visit the workshop. Seeing Yuan Xia, Ma Dongfang laughed: "This is our factory manager, Yuan Factory Director."

Yuan Xia quickly walked over to shake hands with them: "Hello! Welcome! My name is Yuan Xia, the boss of Xingyuan Machinery. Where are you two from?"

The man said: "We are from Beijing. We just came back from Guangzhou after attending the Canton Fair. We received the business card of your factory at the fair. We stopped by to have a look on the way back."

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "Welcome to come and guide the work. You haven't had lunch yet, Miss Dongfang, go talk to the kitchen and cook a few dishes. I will accompany the guests to have dinner later."

Ma Dongfang nodded: "Okay."

Yuan Xia said: "Excuse me, your surnames, what industry do you work in?"

The man said: "My surname is Wei, Wei Daqiang. This is my wife, Yang Lifen. We are in the clothing business, and we have opened a small factory. We used to use pedal sewing machines, but we are planning to replace them with electric ones. A few sets of equipment. This time around the Canton Fair, I heard that your home is a self-developed machine and has good after-sales service, so we plan to come and have a look.”

Yuan Xia said with a smile: "Thank you for your trust in us. We are indeed self-developed machines. The R&D personnel are teachers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University. We also cooperate with many universities and research institutes. It is a purely domestic electric sewing machine. .By the way, why didn't you place an order at the Canton Fair?"

Wei Daqiang said: "At first, I wanted to download it, but I thought that I would pass through Yuecheng when returning to Beijing, so I stopped by to have a look. I also wanted to discuss with Boss Yuan, if there is a problem with the machine, will he really come to repair it?"

Yuan Xia didn't hesitate, and said, "Really." The clothing factories in the northern region are not as famous as the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. There are many clothing factories in Beijing, and there are also bedding factories, all of which can be used Those who buy electric sewing machines, as long as they open up the situation, it is not impossible to open a store in Beijing.

Yang Lifen said: "Really? We are so far away, and you are willing to come to repair it?"

"We have promised this after-sales service, and we will try our best to provide it," Yuan Xia said.

Wei Daqiang said: "You see, we have all come to purchase, is there any discount on the price?"

Yuan Xia said: "That depends on your demand, the greater the demand, the greater the discount."

The couple discussed it together, and Wei Daqiang said, "We plan to buy eight sewing machines and two sewing machines."

Yuan Xia said, "You can get a [-]% discount."

Wei Daqiang said: "Can't we offer more discounts? We all came to the door in person."

Yuan Xia smiled and shook his head: "Our products this year are already very cheap, and the price is the best in the market. Do you know why it is the best price? That is because we developed it ourselves, and the cost is relatively lowest. But why can't it be less? ?We have invested a huge cost in developing this machine, and we need to continue to invest in research and development. It can’t be cheaper. Only when we traded more than [-] units at the Canton Fair can we get such a big discount.”

Wei Daqiang said: "I will think about it with my wife."

At this time, Ma Dongfang came over: "Yuangong, the dishes are almost done, you can come to eat."

Yuan Xia said: "The two of you came from afar, you must have not eaten lunch yet, let's have a light meal here. This way please!"

The two didn't refuse. After they got off the train, they looked for the address of Xingyuan factory. To be honest, it was not easy to find. In addition, it was difficult to communicate with the southerners, so they traveled a lot in vain.

Just when the two couples were going crazy and were about to give up, they finally found a place. Fortunately, they were greeted by Ma Dongfang with a Northeast accent, which made them feel very cordial. Now that Yuanxia also speaks standard Mandarin, they made up their minds to buy machine.

After a busy morning, he was already hungry and Yuan Xia was so enthusiastic, so he naturally wouldn't refuse, so he went to the cafeteria to eat.

Zhang Yajun's parents were cooking in the kitchen. They both worked in the street factory, but they were laid off because the street factory couldn't continue.

Zhang Yajun heard that the factory wanted to hire a cook, so he volunteered to recommend his parents. He thought his father's cooking was delicious, and it turned out to be the case.

The Zhang couple happened to be more careful people. They worked in the back kitchen and took care of the food and hygiene very well.

At the dinner table, they chatted a lot, about where Yuan Xia and Ma Dongfang were from, why they had a northern accent, etc.At the end of the day, the customer still wants a bigger discount: "Boss, you see that we are so sincere, give us a cheaper price, and I will go back and introduce customers for you."

Yang Lifen said: "It's true. I also know many owners of garment factories, and they still use pedal sewing machines."

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "You introduce your colleagues to buy machines, are you afraid that they will steal the business from you? Since ancient times, colleagues have been enemies."

Yang Lifen said: "There are many kinds of clothing. We make women's clothing, men's clothing, children's clothing, and clothing for the elderly. Although we are in the same industry, we are not competitors. They cannot steal our business."

Yuan Xia said: "That's fine, let's give in a little more, [-]% off, no less."

Although the other party still wanted to bargain some more, Yuan Xia insisted on not giving in, and finally signed the contract and bought ten machines.

Yuan Xia thought that he would go back to Beijing to get the payment, but he didn't expect that this wealthy couple brought tens of thousands of dollars in cash with them, and settled the payment directly.

Yuanxia arranged for technicians to follow the couple back to install the machine, and gave the couple a stack of business cards, asking them to help distribute them when they go back. Maybe the market in the north just opened up like this.

After entering May, the price of goods rose faster, and the panic buying became more and more obvious. Every day, a large number of people in the bank waited in line to withdraw money.

Department stores are also full of people who buy things, and those who think they can use them or will use them in the future move them home as if they don’t need money.

The people around Yuan Xia are also affected, the most intuitive one is Professor Qu, their family bought a TV, a refrigerator and a washing machine, there is nothing to say about buying them for their own use, they bought them for Qu Wenyuan and Yuan Qiu’s wedding .

Qu Wenyuan complained to Yuan Xia: "Our house is narrow. My parents bought such three big pieces and put them at home, and they couldn't move around. I said send them to Xiaoqiu and let her use them first. Qiu doesn't agree."

Yuan Qiu blushed and said, "Isn't that for marriage? Now that you're not married, how can you use it now?"

Qu Wenyuan said: "Then go and get married now. I'm a graduate student, so I can get married."

Yuan Xia smiled: "So I was waiting here, and I bought three big pieces to force a marriage!"

Qu Wenyuan waved his hands in fright: "No, no, I didn't mean that. I really think it's appropriate to put it in Xiaoqiu's place, because it can be used anyway. Electric appliances are supposed to be energized and often used. If they are not energized, they will be easily dampened and damaged easily. "

Yuan Xia nodded: "That's the truth. But why did Mr. Qu think of buying three big items? Is he also afraid of price increases?"

Yu Xingyi said: "It should be. The prices are rising so fast now that I feel that my wages are not enough. When I go to buy vegetables in the morning, once the ten yuan is broken, the spending is gone. The pork has risen to three and five yuan. It weighs a catty. Many teachers in the school have bought electrical appliances, fearing that the money will depreciate in the bank, so they simply replace it with something."

Yuan Xia looked at him in surprise: "Don't you have enough money? I'll give it to you."

Yu Xingyi glanced at Yuan Qiu with some unease, and said, "That's enough, I'm just making an analogy. I still have savings."

Yuan Xia was reminded by his look at Yuan Qiu, and said: "If you don't have enough money, tell me, you still have half of the factory's profits, and I keep them here."

Yu Xingyi said: "Well, if it is not enough, I will definitely support you."

Qu Wenyuan scratched his head: "The price has risen so fast, I originally planned to rely on the little money I saved to marry Xiaoqiu when I graduated. When I graduated, it would probably be worthless."

Yuan Qiu blushed, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

Yuan Xia felt that Qu Wenyuan was a fool. He said this in front of them, and asked for marriage in a serious way.

Fortunately, Xiaoqiu has a generous temperament, otherwise he would be unable to bear it.

After Yuan Qiu and Qu Wenyuan left, Yuan Xia took out 200 yuan from his bag and gave it to Yu Xingyi: "Take it and spend it."

Yu Xing said with a smile: "Why do you give money so well?"

"Didn't you say that you don't have enough money to spend?" Yuan Xia said, "I am the housekeeper of our house, so I can't let you lack money to spend."

"I have money. When I said that money is not enough to spend, it was just an exaggerated metaphor." Yu Xingyi said.

"I know you don't have any savings. I went to my sister's place last year, and you spent almost all of your savings. After a year, I bought a washing machine ticket from someone. We don't need to spend money like water, but we can't lack money in our pockets. Occasionally talk to colleagues and groups. Even if the students in the school go out to have a meal, they have to get the money." Yuan Xia stuffed the money into Yu Xing's pocket.

Yu Xingyi had to accept the money.

Yuan Xia asked: "Did my sister write a letter recently? I don't know how the school is doing. It should be thawed over there now. I don't know if construction has started."

Yu Xingyi said: "The last letter said that construction can start at the end of April, so it should have already started."

Yuan Xia said: "The winter over there is too long, which seriously affects the construction period. I don't know if it can be completed before the summer vacation. If it can't be completed, will my sister not be able to come over? Then you go and get Mulati and Sonar Take it?"

"Let's see." Yu Xingyi said.

"Tell my sister, tell us if you don't have enough money, and I'll remit it. Now that the prices are soaring, I don't know if it will affect them." Yuan Xia is worried that after the price rises, the money he remitted may not be enough.

"know."

Soaring prices have led to a frenzy of purchases, and the sales of many commodities in a month are higher than in the past year, which has stimulated many manufacturers to desperately expand their production capacity.

Xingyuan Machinery is not affected at all, because sewing machines are industrial production tools, ordinary people can't use them, and companies rarely buy them blindly, so the carnival outside has almost nothing to do with them.

It is not entirely true to say that it has nothing to do with it. Since May, several garment factories in Beijing have called to inquire about electric sewing machines.

The reason is that the sales volume of clothing has also been brought up by the panic buying. Manufacturers want to increase production capacity, so they can only change to efficient electric sewing machines.

Yuan Xia originally wanted to persuade them, but then he thought, no matter whether it was to catch up with this wave of sales, they really should update the machine, if they don't update, they won't be able to keep up with the times.
