In the early winter of 1986, a windbreaker craze that started in Shangxian County, a small town in northern China, spread at an incredible speed from one city to another province, and even gradually swept across half of China.
Without a single word of advertising, the consecutive airing of A Better Tomorrow I, II, and III became the best advertisement for Panlong brand trench coats.
In many cities in northern China, many college students and young people take pride in owning a Panlong brand trench coat.
Meanwhile, the name Panlong Clothing gradually became well-known throughout the country.
It has become synonymous with this high-end clothing.
Panlong Garment Factory, Shang County.
The factory area presents a thriving scene.
Outside the factory gate, rows of large trucks waiting to pick up goods stretched for more than half a mile.
During this period, Xiao Weiguo recruited more than 200 temporary workers. The four workshops and four production lines operated non-stop, with workers working in three shifts to produce at full capacity day and night.
Even so, it still couldn't satisfy the customers from all over the country and from all provinces and cities who came to place orders.
For several months in a row, the wages of everyone from middle-level managers to ordinary workers at least tripled during this period.
Can you believe that in 1986, an ordinary worker could earn more than 300 yuan a month, and some hardworking people who were willing to work overtime could even earn more than 500 yuan a month?
Even the temporary workers who are hired can earn more than twice as much as other state-owned enterprises if they are willing to work hard.
Xiao Weiguo kept his word; he had promised that after taking over, he would at least double the workers' wages.
Now, he has done it, and not only has he done it, he has done it exceptionally well; it's not just a matter of doubling his achievements.
Money is the greatest affirmation of labor results. After receiving such affirmation, all the workers and middle-level managers in the factory were overjoyed and worked with great enthusiasm to increase production.
In the chairman's office, Xiao Weiguo sipped his tea with satisfaction. His well-tailored casual suit made him look radiant.
The entire factory was busy in an orderly manner.
Speaking of which, he, the chairman, has become the most leisurely person.
At this moment, Wang Xiuhong, the company's general manager, pushed open the door and walked in. Behind her was Feng Yukun, the head of the production department.
Xiao Weiguo straightened up from the back of his executive chair and said with a smile.
"President Wang, Minister Feng, please have a seat."
Secretary Fang Mei served them tea.
Fang Mei is a college graduate who was assigned to the design department last year. However, the factory currently only produces trench coats, although it has undergone several improvements and the lines are now smoother.
But with Master Zheng and another college student, Liu Xiao, in the design department, that's enough.
Based on the principle of making the best use of resources, Xiao Weiguo transferred Fang Mei, who was both beautiful and intelligent, to the chairman's office to be his secretary.
After this young girl arrived, she performed admirably in her interactions with others, demonstrating excellent communication and coordination skills.
She never played any tricks in front of Xiao Weiguo and quickly gained his trust.
University students in that era generally had good overall abilities in various aspects.
After Fang Mei left the room and closed the door behind her, Wang Xiuhong spoke.
"Chairman, I'm here to report on our company's recent production and operations."
Xiao Weiguo nodded, signaling her to begin.
Wang Xiuhong opened the small notebook she always carried with her and began to read it carefully.
"Since the company was converted to a limited liability company in August, it has been less than three months, a total of 86 days."
"During this period, our company produced a total of [number] trench coats, of which [number] have been sold and for which payment has been received. The average ex-factory price was 160 yuan per coat, with a profit of 110 yuan per coat. The total profit was [amount] yuan."
"Oh, it's over twenty million?"
This number surprised even Xiao Weiguo himself.
Wang Xiuhong nodded vigorously, her face filled with excitement.
"However, after deducting taxes and daily expenses, we still have more than 19 million in our accounts. This is the exact figure I just received from the finance department."
Twenty million! In just two months, this figure was something Wang Xiuhong, who was the factory director just two months ago, wouldn't have even dared to dream of.
She felt extremely fortunate and grateful to God for letting her meet Xiao Weiguo. He was the one who single-handedly led this inconspicuous little factory step by step to where it is today, making her dream come true.
Her small business's tax revenue was equivalent to that of several large enterprises.
Now, wherever she goes, even the heads of state-owned enterprises who used to look down on them, these small, state-owned enterprises, have to treat her with utmost respect.
"good."
Xiao Weiguo calmly affirmed.
"Everyone has worked hard these past two months, and I will give everyone a bonus that will satisfy everyone at the end of the year."
"Next, we need General Manager Wang to lead all departments to coordinate closely and keep a tight grip on production tasks so that we can achieve even more brilliant results next month."
Wang Xiuhong closed her notebook, unable to hide her joy. Did she even need to fight for this? A renewed success was a sure thing; didn't she see the merchants waiting to pick up their goods stretching all the way out of the city?
"Don't worry, Chairman. Next month, our output value will definitely not be lower than the previous two months. Before the end of the year, earning another 10 or 20 million will not be a problem."
Wang Xiuhong is very confident about this.
However, for Xiao Weiguo, while it is certainly gratifying to have achieved such results in a short period of time, a mere tens of millions will not be his final destination.
He knew all too well the ruthlessness of future capital competition. With their meager assets, they were still just small fish, never knowing when they would be swallowed whole by other financial giants, leaving not even a trace.
