"It's an electric toothbrush!"
Wu Changfeng explained in detail: "The specific thing is that a small motor is installed on the toothbrush, which makes the toothbrush vibrate to brush the teeth."
Gu Yuanming had never seen such a thing before and was momentarily stunned, asking, "Is it for disabled people?"
Even the laziest people wouldn't be so lazy as to not want to brush their teeth, right?
If you produce this thing, who would buy it except for idiots?
Wu Changfeng almost choked: "It's not for disabled people, it's for able-bodied people."
Gu Yuanming was even more confused.
His face looked like: When did you, Wu Changfeng, fall ill?
Are you out of your mind?
Wu Changfeng, too lazy to explain, said, "Never mind how the business operates after I produce it, just talk about affiliation, is that possible?"
“It’s possible to do it, but it’s not.” Gu Yuanming said worriedly, “Don’t say I didn’t advise you. Your thing is like making ordinary people eat with forks. I won’t care if you lose everything.”
"That's enough, I'm happy with what you said."
Wu Changfeng was secretly delighted.
It must be said that electric toothbrushes were indeed far ahead of their time for China.
This thing won't have a market for more than 10 years, and it will enter its peak sales period in 2020.
In this day and age when everyone is so poor that they have to repair and wear the same clothes for several years, who would be willing to buy this kind of thing?
Gu Yuanming's concerns were not unfounded.
But clearly, he was looking in the wrong direction.
By early next year, an economic crisis will sweep across the country, causing the domestic market to shrink dramatically, leading to overproduction and making it impossible to produce any product.
At this point, we must turn our attention to overseas markets!
There's no demand for electric toothbrushes in China, but there is demand abroad!
Electric toothbrushes are already available in overseas markets, but they are expensive.
China has long been known as the "price butcher".
Charge in and kill them all!
Wu Changfeng's plan was very ambitious: to accumulate enough capital, open a new factory, and make money as quickly as possible.
Then they went to Philips and snatched a crucial industry – lithography machines!
It's worth noting that TSMC and ALSN were later sold off when Philips' profits declined and they could no longer sustain the business.
Why did Philips fail to hold on?
Part of the reason is that China's television industry exports to Europe.
In Europe, it wreaked havoc on local television manufacturers, like a bulldozer rampaging through the land.
The prices are so cheap it's outrageous to Europeans.
Philips was among those seriously injured.
This caused Philips considerable hardship, leading them to sell off their equipment. Some of the equipment was bought by Taiwan, eventually becoming TSMC.
China did not realize that this sale alone would severely hamper its development in the information age.
Even losses of several thousand or trillions cannot be made up for.
At this juncture, Wu Changfeng needed to act quickly and have US dollars in hand to be qualified to negotiate with Philips and purchase technologies and equipment that would have a profound impact on future generations.
Leaving those aside for now, Wu Changfeng still has time.
But we need to hurry!
Complete the transformation as soon as possible.
A few days later, after discussing some details with Gu Yuanming, Wu Changfeng returned to the tractor factory.
The factory was in good order, but Wu Changfeng was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of extra workers.
Willow Twig explained the details.
Wu Changfeng immediately frowned: "You mean, these people were brought by Section Chief Liu?"
Willow Twig nodded: "There's really no other way. We need to rush the delivery. Boss Lü's 800,000 has arrived, and Boss Cai wants another 200,000, making a total of one million. We can't do without workers."
Wu Changfeng paced around a few times: "The workers certainly don't mind having too little, but Section Chief Liu is unreliable."
"Is there something fishy going on inside?" Willow tilted her head, her almond-shaped eyes full of suspicion. "I don't think there's anything wrong. The workers seem to be working quite hard."
Wu Changfeng thought about it and realized that something was definitely wrong. Section Chief Liu might be planning something big.
"From today onwards, no one will be paid in cash for overtime work. We will round it up at the end of the month. For example, if someone's bonus is 291, I will give them 300!"
His willow-twig, black, button-like eyes suddenly went blank. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he quickly shook his head.
"Isn't that inappropriate?"
"Those who refuse to work, get out of here!" Wu Changfeng said sternly.
Liu Tiao could only shrug, not understanding Wu Changfeng's intentions.
Wu Changfeng packed his things: "I'm going to Linxi Coal Mine to find out some things. That's all."
Wu Changfeng pondered all the way, wondering what Section Chief Liu was really up to.
The report was written by Section Chief Liu, and the person was provided by the Mining Bureau.
There seems to be nothing wrong, but I always feel anxious.
When they arrived at Linxi Coal Mine, they didn't expect there to be any trickery there.
Mine Manager Huo was yelling in his office: "Your purchasing department is full of idiots!"
"We can't even buy a few tires. Is it because we can't find the factory gate?"
Several purchasing agents stood in the corner, flipping their eyelids and picking at their fingernails.
"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Wu Changfeng walked in with a smile.
Mine Manager Huo composed his shovel-like face and slowly asked, "Did that evil wind bring you here?"
"To freeload."
"Don't joke around. If you want coal, go dig it up down there, it's free. We don't have anything else."
Wu Changfeng sat casually on the sofa, tilting his head: "What's going on?"
Mine Manager Huo exclaimed with disappointment, "We just bought a few FAW trucks for coal transportation, and the tires are worn out, yet we don't have any spares!"
"The purchasing department told me they couldn't buy it, isn't that nonsense!"
The purchasing agent said very bluntly, "We just can't get it. Even if we pay in full, the waiting list is a year in advance. What can we do?"
