The Pentium Era - South to North

Qu Tianlin took his son and younger brother, as well as several technical backbones in the factory, back to Hangzhou with Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao, and handed his son over to his parents who came to pick them up at the airport. Immediately, he asked Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan took her to see the construction site.

The few technical backbones who came with them got into Lao Wan's car. Xiao An and Lao Wan arranged for them to stay. They lived in the dormitory of the original Hangcheng Spoke Factory, and ate together in Lao Wan's cafeteria. , is still very convenient.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan took Qu Tianlin and her brother Qu Tianjian to their construction site. The two of them became excited when they saw such a large area and the construction workers had already started working here.

Liu Ligan asked: "Sister Tianlin, how is this place?"

Qu Tianlin smiled and said: "It's good, but it's too big and a waste. This one is enough."

Zhang Chen said it was not enough. Sister Tianlin, I checked and found that the Heidelberg Speedmaster SM52 has a maximum printing format of 36 x 52 centimeters. It is enough for printing cigarette labels and general albums and promotional materials, but I think , in the future, there will be a huge market demand for large-format, full-format prints, especially the needs of high-end customers. Now there is simply no way to meet them.

Including many of the current outer packaging, the printing is very crude and can no longer keep up with the upgrading of the product itself. If large-format color printing is available, they will definitely use color printing.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, what you said is correct. In our original Shenzhen factory, many of these orders just couldn't be printed. Ours was also an eight-format printing machine. Not to mention a full-format printing machine, it was a half-format printing machine. The business of the printing press is not very good now," Qu Tianjian said.

Qu Tianlin asked curiously: "Xiao Zhang, you don't do printing, how do you know this?"

"Online, I can see it from the computer. Now computers can access the Internet. You can find a lot of things on the Internet. There are also forums and chat rooms, and there are some that talk about printing. I'll find out after I go in and take a look." Zhang Chen said .

"It's so magical." Liu Ligan exclaimed, "Then I'm going to buy one right away."

"Bought it and smashed it?" Zhang Chen asked.

"You guy, people say that people don't expose their shortcomings. Why did you poke my scar?" Liu Ligan scolded, and everyone laughed.

Zhang Chen and Qu Tianlin said: "Sister Tianlin, I think you should install one here, so that a lot of information can be understood. By the way, what about this full-sheet printing machine, or just install it together?"

Qu Tianjian shouted: "Okay, that would be great."

Qu Tianlin quickly said: "No, we haven't even started here yet. Even if we want to go that far, we're not afraid of dying."

Liu Ligan said from the side: "Sister Tianlin, in this business, the priority is to seize the opportunity. If you wait until everyone has it, what will you do? Why should people give things to you and go to Shenzhen to print them? You can’t print it in Hangzhou, and you can’t even print it in Shanghai. When you open here, anyone who goes to Shenzhen will definitely be released here."

"Yes, Sister Tianlin, the pole is right. Either you don't do it, or you have to get ahead of others. There is a printing press. I don't know if you have heard of it. Manroland 900. It can print from one meter to one meter. The format is four meters long," Zhang Chen said.

"So big?" Qu Tianjian was surprised, "Manroland is also a German company. I have heard of the Manroland 900. It is also a newly released machine. I didn't expect its format to be so large."

"Is this machine available in China?" Liu Ligan said.

"No, it's not available in China yet," Zhang Chen said.

"Then buy it, Sister Tianlin. It's not available in China yet, so why not seize the opportunity?" Liu Ligan shouted.

"Buy, buy, buy, you two, are you burning with money in your pockets?" Qu Tianlin scolded.

Liu Ligan looked at Qu Tianlin and shook his head.

"Come on, come on, you can't talk about this kind of thing with a woman. Brother Tianjian, let's talk." Liu Lipole pulled Qu Tianjian aside and told him. Qu Tianjian looked back at Qu Tianlin and laughed.

Liu Ligan asked: "If this machine comes, will you be sure to use it?"

"This is not difficult. The printing machines are all similar. You can master it in two days. The only difference is the size of the printing format. The principles are the same. Besides, they are all machines from Germany. I can understand the instructions. The machine just came from Shenzhen. At that time, I just held the dictionary and looked up word by word to understand the instructions." Qu Tianjian said.

"Awesome, what do you think? The one over there is from Heidelberg, with cigarette labels printed all over it, and the one over here is from that brand, with other brands printed on it, do you think it's awesome or not?" Liu Ligan asked.

"Of course, then this is the most powerful printing factory in the country. When the two machines are started together, it is just like a banknote printing factory." Qu Tianjian said.

"I believe that Hangcheng Cigarette Factory will not only have cigarette labels printed here, but also outer packaging boxes. Once this is started, all cigarette factories across the country will have outer packaging printed here. Printed." Zhang Chen said.

"Okay, not bad, the future is very bright." Liu Ligan smiled, and then he said to Qu Tianjian: "Brother, let's do this. I will buy this printing press. If I make money, you can pay me back the money. If I lose money, I will buy it." Forget it, okay?"

Qu Tianjian did not dare to agree. He looked at Qu Tianlin, and Qu Tianlin said: "If you two are really so interested in printing, or you come to buy shares in this factory, and you buy shares, I will buy anything."

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan both shook their heads. Liu Ligan said, "I'm a house builder. I don't know anything about printing. What if I get tricked by you?"

Qu Tianlin rolled her eyes at him, and Liu Ligan laughed.

"Sister Tianlin, just do it like this. As long as you become bigger, we will be happy in our hearts. Aren't you happy for us every time we accomplish something? Can't we also be happy for you?" Zhang Chen said .

Qu Tianlin felt like she was feeling dizzy again.

Liu Lipole patted Qu Tianjian on the shoulder and said to him: "Don't always look at your sister. Man, make your own decisions. You don't even dare to do this?"

Qu Tianjian said yes, I agree.

"Okay, there has been a rebellion. Sister Tianlin, it doesn't matter whether you agree or not. This is my territory. I will buy a printing press and put it here. You can't object, right?" Liu Ligan said with a smile. .

Qu Tianlin sighed and shook his head helplessly.

The four people got on the car and immediately went to Lao Tan and Han Gaozu Liu Bang. Liu Ligan told them the matter, and they also said, OK, this is good.

Qu Tianlin scolded, I finally know, you are just a fellow traveler, let alone a duck, you are just a duck egg. If I fall into your hands, you will overtake me.

Several men laughed.

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, immediately contacted his friend in Germany. After a while, the friend called back and said that they would not start production until an order was placed for the Roland 900. The production cycle was two months.

"This is just the right time," Zhang Chen said. "By the time this machine arrives, work has already started on the opposite side, and production is on track. This way, we won't be in a hurry when the two machines arrive at the same time."

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, looked worried and shook his head. He said, "It's not a matter of time."

"What's the problem?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.

"Price." Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, said.

"What happened to the price?" Liu Ligan asked.

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was surprised when his friend told him the price of this machine on the phone. He asked his friend to repeat it again to confirm that it was correct.

He, Liu Ligan and others said that this machine is very expensive, 6.2 million German marks, which is almost more than 24 million yuan when converted into RMB.

When he heard that it was so expensive, Qu Tianjian quickly shouted, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's too expensive. If you buy Heidelberg machines, you can buy several."

Liu Ligan cursed, why not? Can Heidelberg's machine print such a large format? This is what investment is, the bigger you invest, the more money you can make.

Liu Ligan and Qu Tianlin said: "Sister Tianlin, when my 'Splendid Jiangnan' was about to open, what did you tell me? You said that the price cannot be low. Once it is low, the threshold for this office building will be lower. You said it?" That's right, this machine, although it is expensive, is also a threshold, which can guarantee that you will be several years ahead in the country. Only you can do the orders that others cannot do."

"The pole is right, Sister Tianlin. I think if there is no competition, the price of this printing will be different. Although this machine is expensive, it will still be allocated to each order in the end, and the wool will still come from the sheep." Zhang Chen said.

Qu Tianlin lowered her head and thought for a while. She raised her head and asked Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan: "You two, do you want me to make a bet?"

Liu Ligan nodded, and Zhang Chen said: "It's not a bet, I just think that if this piece is taken up, the market will really be huge. It would be a pity not to do it. If it is too late, it will be too late."

Qu Tianlin nodded and said:

"I am in business myself. Of course I know the market demand. I just did the math. The investment in this machine is indeed huge, but I calculated it. If it can reach 12 to 3 million prints a year, I think the investment can be recovered in one and a half to two years. If done well, it can be recovered in a little more than a year.

"I will listen to you and take this gamble, but you must agree to one request of mine."

"Sister Tianlin, tell me." Zhang Chen said.

"I will definitely pay you back the money I owe you, and you must charge interest when the time comes, okay?" Qu Tianlin said.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan looked at each other. What they both thought was that the future matters will be discussed later. As long as you decide now, you can make this place the largest printing factory in the country.

Liu Ligan smiled and said: "Sister Tianlin, whatever you say, we will listen to you."

Qu Tianlin decided to use this fully-operated Manroland machine because she had been thinking about it ever since Liu Ligan talked about using this machine. The Heidelberg Speedmaster SM52 was an order from the Hangcheng Cigarette Factory, and its production was basically It was so full that she had to push through many orders.

It can be said that from a business perspective, she is too relaxed, and the rest is basically production matters.

Adding another printing press would be a challenge and indeed an opportunity for her. She could definitely enter the field of large-format packaging printing. She believed that with her own ability, there would be no problem at all.

Qu Tianjian is right when he says that as soon as the offset printing machine is started and the impression cylinder rotates, it is really just like a money printing machine.

A money printing machine is also a printing press. The only difference is that it prints money directly. I print paper equivalent to money.
