"Third, manage sales and core components! All Pokémon IP licenses, such as shell molds, Pikachu stickers, and all the most crucial components, such as the Pikachu startup sound effect chip, must be provided uniformly by the Shekou headquarters!"
All overseas orders are handled centrally by headquarters! The contract manufacturers are solely responsible for production; they are not allowed to contact foreign clients or produce goods independently!
...
These three groundbreaking moves completely stunned all the veteran cadres present!
Setting standards, controlling quality, managing core processes...
This...this is a completely new model, one they've never heard of before!
But the old man understood; it seemed to be no different from leading troops into battle!
"good."
The old man nodded slowly. "The snake's mouth is the 'head.' Then... what about the 'body'? Who will be the body?"
Lin Huowang smiled.
He pointed north, towards the vast inland region.
"The body is our large state-owned factories that are currently 'starving'!"
"The Shanghai Radio Factory has excellent technology for their 'Red Lantern' radios and skilled workers, but are they having trouble selling them? Let them come! They can manufacture our radios and some television parts!"
"Panda Electronics Group in Nanjing has one of the most advanced TV production lines in China! Their compressor technology is also said to be quite good. Let them come! They can help us manufacture Pikachu TVs and Bulbasaur refrigerators!"
"There's also 798 in the capital, and our old industrial base in Northeast China... They have huge factories and hundreds of thousands of skilled workers! What they lack now is not technology or ability, but an order that will allow them to operate at full capacity!"
“We’ll give them orders! We’ll give them molds! We’ll give them standards! And if they lack equipment or production lines, we’ll provide them with everything…”
Lin Huowang's voice was filled with power at this moment:
"They are our bodies, capable of unleashing maximum productivity!"
"this……"
The veteran cadre's face showed excitement and surprise, but also hesitation and worry. He said, "But... but how do we motivate them? They are all state-owned enterprises, each doing their own thing, and they don't usually respect each other. Why should they listen to the orders of this 'small place' of Shekou?"
"Just for this!"
Lin Huowang held up two fingers, revealing the two "trump cards" he had thought of on the plane!
"First, piece-rate wages!"
"All factories involved in 'Dragon Brand' OEM manufacturing must break the 'iron rice bowl' system! Workers get paid for each job they do! The more they do, the more they get! If they exceed their targets, they get double the bonus! I want all workers to work their butts off to earn money!"
"second……"
Lin Huowang emphasized his words, speaking each one with deliberation:
"Foreign exchange! Reserve it!"
"boom!"
These two words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of all the cadres.
Liao Gong's eyes widened instantly.
These days, there's no such thing as keeping foreign exchange reserves like this!
Whether it's a large state-owned factory or some other enterprise or institution, all foreign exchange earned must be handed over to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange for unified management and allocation.
Simply put, you submit it first, and if you want to use it, you submit an application report, and then it gets approved.
Therefore, Lin Huowang's proposal to retain foreign exchange reserves at this time can be described as quite astonishing.
"Foreign exchange retention?"
"That's right!"
Lin Huowang said emphatically, “The leaders have also said that this is a ‘nationwide effort’! I suggest that for every 10,000 units of ‘Dragon Brand’ products delivered with guaranteed quality and quantity, in addition to the production profits allocated by the state, the factory should… retain an extra 5% of the sales revenue in foreign exchange!”
"hiss--!"
A collective gasp filled the room!
5% of sales revenue will be retained in foreign exchange!
In this day and age, foreign exchange is the lifeline!
It was their only hope for importing advanced equipment, going abroad for inspections, and even improving the welfare of cadres.
Let alone 5%, even 1% is enough to make the factory managers of those long-established state-owned factories fight tooth and nail for orders!
Moreover, Lin Huowang was incredibly generous; it wasn't just 5% of sales profit, but 5% of sales revenue!
If all of these three billion dollars in orders are for contract manufacturing by sister companies, wouldn't that mean we'd have to give out 150 million dollars in foreign exchange reserves?
"This method..."
Liao Gong went from shock to excitement, clenching his fist and nodding, "I think it's feasible! Absolutely feasible! With foreign exchange, we won't need to do any ideological work with those factory directors, let alone painstakingly persuade them. They'll all be eager to come and work!"
“This isn’t a ‘nationwide unified plan’…” Lin Huowang looked at the old man, then slowly revealed his final vision:
"Sir, this is 'the only factory in the whole country'!"
"We will use all of China's idle industrial capacity, and unite it into one powerful force! We will use this 'fist' to win this $3 billion order!"
"We want to show the world just how terrifying our productivity is when China is mobilized!"
...
"One factory nationwide".
These five words echoed back and forth in the sweltering workshop.
Everyone was completely stunned by Lin Huowang's bold and almost insane idea.
They looked at the young man as if he were a monster.
