For three months, bicycles were produced in batches, but sales were not as expected.

Lao Li helped sell over a thousand cars, and the clothing factory also bought about two thousand, but this is not acceptable.

Products were not sold as fast as they were produced, so inventory piled up quickly.

In order to sell it quickly, he even lowered the price by a dollar. Now, Lao Yang was in big trouble.

The items were sold at 180 before, but you lowered the price right away. Isn't this bullying honest people?

Don't you see who buys these cars? They are all cadres in the unit and the neighbor across the street is the garment factory.

Now Old Yang's reputation is plummeting.

Someone even came to his house and mocked him, making Old Yang so angry that his liver hurt.

In the evening, Lao Yang invited Jia Youcai, Wang Xiu Lan and Lao Li to a pub for a drink.

He was so anxious that he wanted to ask a few people for advice that his brain was spinning.

After everyone was seated, Qin Huairu brought the food and drinks and went to sit by the counter, eating melon seeds and listening to their conversation.

No one cared. They were all old acquaintances who often gathered in the tavern to chat, whether they had something to do or not.

Old Yang had a bitter face, drank a glass of wine, put down the glass and started complaining to Jia Youcai.

"Jia Liu, you said it couldn't be sold, so you bought it all. How come you're just talking big but not doing anything?

Why don’t you take all the cars away? I feel upset when I see them in the warehouse. There are still several cars left and the factory is still producing them. It makes me so anxious.

In the past, we sold the goods in installments according to your suggestion. The money was collected monthly, and the factory did not have much working capital.

If something unexpected happens and the workers can’t be paid, I’ll be finished.”

Jia Youcai ate a peanut, took a sip of wine, and looked at Lao Yang's bitter face, almost laughing.

He casually put the blame on Comrade Wang Xiulan who was watching the fun.

"I don't have any money. If you don't have any, go borrow some from my sister Wang. You can use it first. But you can't afford to underpay the workers' wages. That would cause big problems."

Wang Xiulan took a sip of wine and was watching the excitement. When Jia Youcai asked her to borrow money, she was so angry that she almost spit out the wine in her mouth.

Wang Xiulan quickly put down her wine glass and spoke loudly.

"No, Lao Yang, please don't say anything. The clothing factory is not rich and has no money.

All the money was invested in the new textile factory next door, and I also borrowed a lot from the bank to buy machinery. Don't come to me, go to the bank, there's plenty of money there."

Old Yang looked at Wang Xiulan with resentment.

"I borrowed money from the bank to buy all the supplies. I'll be thankful if the bank doesn't ask me to pay it back. If I still dare to borrow from the bank, I'm afraid I'll be kicked out."

Jia Youcai laughed out loud and added, "It's okay. Money matters most. Just tell the bank that if you don't lend me money, how can I make money to pay you back?"

Old Li immediately laughed too, and leaned over to say, "Yes, that's right. As long as you have enough money, banks will be afraid of you."

Seeing that Lao Yang's face was about to turn black due to being squeezed, Jia Youcai waved his hand and became serious.

"Okay, okay, I won't make fun of Lao Yang anymore.

Let's talk about serious matters. Don't worry, Lao Yang. I promised to take care of everything for you and I will definitely do it.

However, it is difficult to transport it after it is assembled directly.

It would be better to break it down into parts, ship it over and assemble it there, that would be faster.”

Lao Yang nodded. It was indeed true. The finished products took up too much space and could not be loaded into one car.

"Then you won't assemble it later and just send it in bulk?"

Jia Youcai nodded before saying, "It's not that simple. If you want to maximize profits, you still have to assemble it domestically. The labor cost there is more than ten times that of domestic labor. It's too much of a loss, and it's not worth the foreign exchange."

Lao Yang and the other two didn’t understand what was going on. What should they do?

Old Yang was impatient and asked quickly, "So what do you think we should do?"

The ulterior motive was revealed. Jia Youcai then called Qin Huairu and took out the map.

After taking out the map and laying it on the table, Jia Youcai invited the three of them to look at it together.

Jia Youcai glanced at the map and pointed his finger at the southernmost corner.

"Right here, we'll build a small assembly plant here, send it over for assembly, and then smuggle it through Kowloon Walled City and into Hong Kong."

The place that Jia Youcai pointed to was what later became the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, close to Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City and Luohu District, separated only by a river.

The intention here is obvious. Make a spare move first and then take it step by step.

In the future, if Lao Yang, Wang Xiu Lan, and that big leader can't stand the pressure, they can come here in advance to avoid the limelight.

Let Lao Li come over when we start developing. He is idle in Beijing anyway, and all future orders will be allocated by the state, so he will not be needed.

Besides, Lao Li likes to be in the south. As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, this is the big stage.
