When Tuzai notified them to place orders for firecrackers and fireworks in October, You Shuiping and his wife were undecided about how much to purchase, so they went to ask Wan Feng.

Wan Feng asked for three million, and You Shuiping almost wet his pants on the spot.

Wan Feng said that since we will pay you after the sale, what are you afraid of?

Yingrong is worried that he won’t be able to sell all of them.

Wan Feng's attitude is that he is worried that he won't be able to sell all the goods, and whether there are enough to sell is still a problem.

A truck fleet worth three million yuan for purchasing sundry goods made a special delivery to his home, and half of the warehouse in the yard of the fish pond was filled with fireworks and firecrackers.

Usually, the sale of firecrackers starts around the 18th day of the 12th lunar month, and the six days from the 22nd to the 27th day of the 12th lunar month are the peak period for firecracker sales.

It can be said that how much money you can make from selling firecrackers in a year depends on these few days. If you can't make any money during these few days, the whole year will be in vain.

Wan Feng told You Shuiping that by then he would have to hire at least ten people, including his own family members, so he would have to prepare fifteen people.

There are seven people in total, including You Shuiping and his wife, two tricycle drivers and three loaders.

Wan Feng told him that he had to hire ten more people.

It was not until these few days that You Shuiping discovered that Wan Feng had not lied to them at all. The seventeen people also called Yingwu and Xu Meilin.

The daily sales volume is around 200,000. The 23rd and 24th days of the twelfth lunar month are the two days with the highest sales volume, with the highest sales volume in one day reaching nearly 700,000.

Nearly twenty people didn't even have time to eat lunch, they were so busy that they were dizzy.

Gao Feng and his wife are also very busy.

However, they did not hire any additional staff. The couple and their three existing employees were enough to handle the business.

The launch of the H1688 mobile phone brought Gao Feng and his wife an income of 100,000 yuan, followed by the continued high sales of this mobile phone and the accumulation of sales of other products in the period before the New Year.

Before the New Year, they had basically paid back most of the money they owed Zhou Liming, with only over 100,000 yuan left. They estimated that they would have paid it off before May.

By then they will own their own store. According to this year's sales trend, it seems like a piece of cake for the couple to earn 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year.

The couple was immersed in happiness, and the sound of children setting off firecrackers outside the window sounded so pleasant to them.

Everyone has their own way of living, and they all live quietly according to their own wishes or not.

It was in this kind of situation that the Spring Festival of 2000 came slowly and passed quickly.

Suddenly, a spring breeze came, and adults and children were one year older.

Starting from the eighth day of the New Year, work after the New Year resumes.

On his first day at work, Wan Feng looked at the new product launch plans submitted by various departments this year.

March: Nanwan Group launched the diesel version of its Peak SUV, and Nanwan Heavy Vehicle launched a new 30-ton truck.

April: Huaguang releases a new brand of computers with new configurations, produces several specialized chips designed for other companies, and launches a 128M multimedia storage card.

June: The gasoline version of the Peak is released, and the Qidian.com charging system is launched. Legend begins closed beta testing.

July: New mobile phones are released.

August: The first generation of light trucks rolls off the assembly line.

September: Great Wall Motors goes public.

In October, the new generation of memory was produced and Legend was officially launched.

This is the production plan for some important production projects of Nanwan Group this year.

Among the foreign cooperation enterprises, Mayday Motors launched the 1.3L Langtao.

June Jingdongfang's 14-inch LCD monitor officially entered the market.

In July, Chengdu’s cooperative enterprise Chengdu Rainbow Automobile will release a new 1.5L car.

The original name of this company was Chengdu Nanwan, but it was not pleasant to the ear, so it was changed to Chengdu Rainbow.

It's essentially a neutered version of the Hurricane. The partnership requires the company to provide the other party with new vehicles. Developing a new car in Nanwan, including design and testing, takes at least two years.

The most convenient way at the moment is to launch mature models in a new look and make some changes to the configuration.

The Johto Rainbow, a car whose name has not yet been determined, is a modified version of the Hurricane.

At the same time, the design department has also begun designing the second-generation Meirui car for Guangwan. This is a new car that will be equipped with an NW479T engine and a dual-clutch transmission. The new car is expected to roll off the production line in August 2002.

Matters like Hengren Power's engine production are trivial and are not included in the plan.

This year, Huaguang will quietly launch two more products: a new generation of chips and memory.

However, these two things are not planned to be announced to the public, and will only be produced quietly in small batches.

After reading the plan, Wan Feng put it into the safe and then carried out the first inspection after the new year's work.

His plan was to spend the morning inspecting both the old and new factories, go to Huaguang Technology in the afternoon to give instructions, and then go to Nanwan Heavy Vehicle to take a look tomorrow.

But plans did not change quickly, and the first stop of his trip was Nanwan Motorcycle.

Because he saw a prototype of an electric motorcycle in the motorcycle test workshop.

This is a prototype car with only a skeleton and no skin, like a skeleton.

The style is one of the scooters in Nanwan. The engine and transmission system of this style of scooter have been removed and replaced with a battery motor.

"If you use an open-type lead-acid battery, it takes six hours to fully charge, and a single charge can provide a range of 80 kilometers at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. If you use a 48V10Ah lithium battery, you can reach a range of 120 kilometers, but its cost is nearly 200 yuan higher than that of a lead-acid battery."

Wan Feng is not concerned about the cost, but the battery life and the number of times the battery can be charged and discharged.

He has no plans to promote this thing to the market now.

Electric vehicles are definitely entering the market at the wrong time. It’s not that there are no buyers, but that not many people are buying them.

If we want to promote the market, the earliest we can do so is no later than 2003.

So it doesn’t matter what the cost is now. There are still more than three years until 2003. Who knows what technological breakthroughs will happen in these three years.

Things that are now priced sky-high may be dirt cheap by then.

"If properly maintained, a lead-acid battery can last 15,000 kilometers. An ordinary lithium battery can only be charged and discharged about 500 times, which means it can last for one year and three months if charged daily. However, lithium batteries have now been developed that can be charged and discharged 700 times, so a lithium battery can be used for nearly two years, which can further reduce costs."

Of course Wan Feng knew this.

The batteries were all developed by Yang Li, so he is very clear about the results.

Even his cousin Wan Qianxiang's own company now has a group of technical researchers, and their research and development is mainly focused on lead-acid batteries.

Their own lead-acid batteries are now among the top three in the country, and millions of lead-acid batteries are supplied to the market every year.
