Chapter 122 Mutual Help is Also Mutual Exploitation



Xing Baohua thought to himself, "So that's where the computer brought in by the truck is used!"

Ignore them and focus on your own things.

As if speaking from a position of privilege, Teacher Cheng said to Xing Baohua, "Xiao Xing, there's really no need to be in such a hurry. Researching this kind of thing requires a calm and peaceful mind. If you're in a rush, you're more likely to make mistakes."

Xing Baohua looked at him and said nothing, thinking to himself, "Aren't you worried? Don't you even consider that he has so many things to do?"

He even wanted to add more tape equipment. Liu Haibo wasn't going to participate; he needed to prepare! Otherwise, such a large pie would be divided up in just a few months. Xing Baohua could still feel the bitterness of not being able to earn money.

Suddenly, something occurred to me. You've taken advantage of me, so you should at least get your revenge!

"Teacher Chen, could you help me contact a tape recorder manufacturer?" Xing Baohua asked.

"You still want to make cassette tapes?" Teacher Cheng asked.

"Yes, I'm buying a stereo system, right? To ensure the best sound quality, I always include cassette tapes. Only by making the tapes myself can I reduce the cost," Xing Baohua explained his philosophy for buying the stereo system.

"How much production do you need?" Teacher Cheng asked after thinking for a moment.

"The more the better!"

"Can your factory accommodate this?"

"Let's expand it, it'll be done in ten days or half a month. If you decide on the equipment, I'll expand it," Xing Baohua said with a smile. There was also a 20-meter by 30-meter open space nearby, which they could use.

"Okay, I'll call and ask for you." Teacher Cheng said, taking out her small phone book and starting to make a call.

"Dongguai No. 6 Factory? I'm Liangliangsan, um. I need tape recording equipment, the whole set, including the tapes. How much? 130,000? Including the packaging machine! Okay. The smallest one is 2,000 tapes per day. That'll do, the medium one is 5,000 tapes per day. Wait a minute! Don't hang up."

Then he asked Xing Baohua, "You heard everything, what kind do you want?"

"Ask how much the medium-sized one costs."

After a while, Teacher Cheng told Xing Baohua that he needed 200,000 yuan.

Xing Baohua gritted her teeth and ordered a 200,000 yuan apartment.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. We have no choice but to act now.

I just don't know how to handle the settlement. We'll have to figure out the time difference; this is the only way.

"Teacher Cheng, look, the 500 learning machines you want will cost almost 200,000 yuan. Could you help ease the burden on the cassette tape equipment? I'll use the money you use to buy the goods to pay half of the equipment cost first. I'll pay the other half when I have sales. If necessary, it would be best if you could act as a guarantor for me."

Teacher Cheng smiled and waved her hand, saying, "There's no rush. Let's wait until they arrive."

A moment later, Teacher Ren came over from his computer and asked Xing Baohua, "Your idea is still theoretical. If it succeeds, selling it for 200,000 wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

Xing Baohua almost cried; at least the things he had developed were finally worth something.

From two hundred to two thousand, and they're even robbing people! Look at those from reputable organizations, how much respect they have for knowledge!

Then Teacher Ren said, "If we give you enough materials, can you finish it? Of course, the two of us will be there to help you finish it."

Xing Baohua quickly shook his head; he could only handle hardware-related technical aspects, and his software skills were passable.

As for wireless, he really doesn't understand it.

He mentioned his weakness in this area, and then subtly implied that he had other things to do!

Adding this to the mix won't really help much.

Teacher Cheng and Teacher Ren nodded in agreement.

Back at his computer, Xing Baohua felt much better, and the pressure on his mind regarding the tape equipment was finally relieved.

From what Teacher Chen said, he realized that the equipment was different from Liu Haibo's.

The entire set of equipment includes automated packaging. Is it that advanced?

There's a magnetic strip? Isn't it a cassette tape?

Xing Baohua had never seen it before. Tape factories produced magnetic tapes in huge spools, thousands of meters long, which were then processed via conveyor belts.

The tape casing has clips that temporarily hold it in place, but it will require manual screwing later.

After the screws are tightened, the tape is put back onto the conveyor belt and the machine applies adhesive labels and seals it.

This is a large, semi-automated machine. It's nothing like the small-scale, workshop-style recording that Liu Haibo did.

Their recording process involves directly writing a large magnetic strip, which saves time. Otherwise, how could one set of equipment process 5,000 tapes a day?

They produce 150,000 tapes a month; the larger volume reduces production costs. For their own singers, they just need to provide meals, so there are practically no costs. The only exceptions are the musicians; they're all on monthly contracts, at most a thousand yuan.

Therefore, the profits from this wave should be much larger, not just huge windfall profits.

This is much better than playing with flips.

When it's not in use, you can continue to refill the tape!

After coding for an hour, Xiaobo came over and told him that Sister Yang had brought him a package and he needed to sign for it.

Xing Baohua had no choice but to go out and take a look.

The postman brought the form to Xing Baohua for her signature; it was a registered parcel form.

You'll have to pick it up yourself. Call someone, find a tricycle, and take the form to the post office.

Liu Quan came out of the workshop and said to Xing Baohua, "Hua Zi, let's buy two tricycles. They'll be more convenient for transporting things. We can't keep borrowing them every time we need them."

"Do you have time? Take the two of them and go buy it directly."

Then he turned to Xiaobo and said, "Anyway, you don't have anything to do, so take the money and come along."
