Of course, these issues are mainly concentrated in the southeastern coastal cities.
Although Hu Yuan's province is also a southern province, it has not yet been completely conquered by international chemical giants.
However, he knew in his heart that it was only a matter of time.
It's important to understand that during the planned economy era, all material allocation was carried out from top to bottom, following government orders.
Local state-owned enterprises survive thanks to policy support from above.
Even so, products from detergent factories like Wang Man's, such as soap and laundry detergent, are still very popular in the surrounding towns and cities.
After all, the quality of products from state-owned enterprises is guaranteed and they are trustworthy.
Although Hu Yuan did not work in the cleaning and chemical industry in his later years, he still learned about the industry and knew that cleaning and chemical products, as fast-moving consumer goods, were consumed in enormous quantities.
He clearly remembers a statistic: in 2018, the domestic production of laundry detergent was more than 3.3 million tons, and the sales volume was also more than 3 million tons.
Such a huge number proves one thing: this industry with its enormous market capacity will be a huge potential industry for entrepreneurs in this era.
Treasury bonds are an industry that allows you to make quick money, which can help Hu Yuan accumulate capital in the early stages. However, if he wants to expand and strengthen his business, he still needs to move towards the real economy.
After much deliberation, the cleaning and chemical industry became an excellent entry point.
Not to mention that at this time, the chemical and cleaning plant also encountered difficulties in sales, making it difficult to support development.
Therefore, Hu Yuan was even more eager to seize this opportunity...
After hearing this, Feng Qian remained silent, surprised, and did not say anything.
"Section Chief Feng, although you didn't say it, I'm pretty sure I guessed it. With such a huge inventory pressure, the chemical plant is really going to collapse!" Hu Yuan stared intently at the other man and said without any emotion.
Hu Yuan's words had already angered Feng Qian, and now that he had said this, she was even angrier.
"Sigh..." After a long while, Feng Qian let out a long sigh.
Her delicate body swayed slightly, and she looked at Hu Yuan with a hint of resentment, biting her lip tightly.
Hu Yuan stopped pressing her for answers and simply looked at her quietly.
"You're pretty much right. The factory's inventory is indeed huge. All I can tell you is that the quantity of soap, bar soap, and laundry detergent is more than half again as much as you guessed..." Helpless, Feng Qian shook her head and gave this statement.
Half more? That's over six thousand tons!
"Hiss..." Hu Yuan also gasped, "There are so many?"
Indeed, this number has far exceeded Hu Yuan's estimate.
Feng Qian shook her head, "Actually, we didn't expect national policies to change so quickly, and market conditions to change every day, to the point that we can no longer continue with our original sales methods..."
Now that she had started talking, Feng Qian stopped hiding anything.
“For local state-owned enterprises like ours, once production starts, we can’t stop. Otherwise, not only will the workers protest, but the higher-level authorities will also hold us accountable.”
"Didn't your factory director, Mr. Sun, think of a solution before? Someone of his rank should have some connections to solve sales problems, right?" Hu Yuan suddenly asked.
In his view, many factory leaders are actually public servants.
As long as they are public officials, they are often more focused on climbing the corporate ladder than on managing and operating businesses.
Feng Qian naturally knew what Hu Yuan was referring to. She shook her head and said, "Don't make wild guesses! Director Sun is still very responsible. He also has ambition and wants our factory to develop better, but..."
“But eventually there will be a few individuals who will hold him back, and coupled with a lack of understanding of the market situation, they will ultimately fail, right?” Hu Yuan finished Feng Qian’s sentence.
Feng Qian glanced at Hu Yuan but didn't say anything. However, her eyes told him that it was indeed true.
"Since we've come this far, Section Chief Feng, I won't beat around the bush anymore. I can sell all the inventory in your factory!"
At that moment, Hu Yuan did not hesitate any longer and directly launched a depth charge.
For others, the backlog of inventory may be a huge problem.
But for Hu Yuan, who has a keen understanding of the development of the domestic market, this is a real and tremendous opportunity, a chance for him to take off!
Although Hu Yuan's words were extremely shocking, Feng Qian did not show any disbelief; instead, she calmed down.
Because she knew in her heart that there was no point in Hu Yuan lying to her.
What she couldn't understand was why Hu Yuan said that.
In other words, what methods does Hu Yuan have to sell these toiletries?
"Are you sure you're not joking?" Feng Qian asked, staring into Hu Yuan's eyes.
Hu Yuan gave him a very honest look and nodded, saying, "I wouldn't joke about this, and I think you can tell that by now!"
"But you have to understand, these cleaning and chemical products aren't just a few tons or tens of tons, but several thousand tons!" After hesitating for a moment, Feng Qian still reminded her.
“I know it’s several thousand tons! If it weren’t several thousand tons, I wouldn’t have made a move!” Hu Yuan chuckled.
"Then why did you do that?"
In Feng Qian's view, this was a big problem, but now Hu Yuan had taken this big problem on his own shoulders.
"Why? Hehe, I just want to make money!" Hu Yuan replied with a smile.
"Want to make money..." Feng Qian was both amused and exasperated by Hu Yuan's answer.
Then she added, "It's fine if you want to make money, but do you have that much money?"
"You know, even if I could convince the factory manager to give you this inventory of several thousand tons at the lowest price, it would still cost a lot of money. Do you have it?"
“I promised to help you solve the sales problem, so you have to give me some kind of policy in return!” Hu Yuan did not answer Feng Qian’s question directly, but instead brought up another matter.
"Policy?" Feng Qian frowned again. "What policy? Tell me first."
"I'll take the goods first, and then pay you after I receive the payment from you."
Upon hearing Hu Yuan's answer, Feng Qian was so angry she laughed.
"Are you joking or serious? Are you still playing this game of getting something for nothing? You just used it on treasury bonds, and now you want to use it on our factory? Even if you're trying to fleece us, you can't just target our factory, can you?" Feng Qian shook her head and said to Hu Yuan, both amused and exasperated.
"Section Chief Feng, why would I joke with you? I think you're really not qualified to be the sales section chief!" Hu Yuan said with a smile.
