Wan Feng drove the car all the way to the Nanwan factory, and after getting off the car, he took them to visit each workshop one by one.
Under normal circumstances, Wan Feng would first take people to see the motorcycle workshop, and then the agricultural vehicle workshop.
But today he drove the car too deep and came to the agricultural vehicle workshop, so he started from the agricultural vehicle workshop.
The work in the agricultural vehicle workshop is assembly.
All the ready-made parts are gathered here and assembled into agricultural vehicles through assembly line operations.
This workshop can assemble about 40 vehicles a day, and the annual sales volume of agricultural vehicles is about 12,000 units, which is a small-scale operation.
It was a bit beyond Wan Feng's expectation that agricultural vehicles had not become popular. Although there was no backlog of products, they were always like lukewarm water.
The grand scene he expected of agricultural vehicles replacing the four-wheeled vehicles on the streets in the previous life did not happen, and there were still many four-wheeled vehicles running on the streets.
Is it because the advertising didn’t keep up?
Wanfeng has never advertised this type of four-wheeled agricultural vehicle, and the poor sales may be related to this aspect.
We must advertise when the next generation comes along.
Nanwan Factory has now produced several models of agricultural vehicles. Although the appearance is different, the essence remains the same. There is no change in the engine, gearbox, transmission and chassis. Only the carriage and cab have changed.
The only change in the cab is its appearance, while the change in the truck bed is the addition of a dump truck.
It's time to upgrade agricultural transport vehicles. Once things in Longjiang are over, we'll start researching the next generation of agricultural vehicles, increasing horsepower, engine load weight, and speed.
After the next generation of agricultural trucks is successful, we will develop a small dump truck.
While wandering around the assembly workshop, Wan Feng had already roughly worked out the preliminary development plan for the truck project.
Many parts on agricultural vehicles come from processing workshops.
The processing workshop is divided into two workshops: rough processing and fine processing, which process different parts according to different divisions of labor.
The workshop was extremely noisy, with various machine tools running and working one after another.
"I can't believe that your factory has grown to such a large scale. Compared with yours, our business is as small as a child playing house." Zhan Honggui exclaimed.
"Every business starts with small things. No one can eat a big thing in one bite."
"Hey! Xiao Wan, tell me what was the first business you started? I'm quite interested in this." Qin Suzhen wanted to know what business Wan Feng started with.
"Even if you were asked to think of a hundred businesses, you wouldn't necessarily be able to guess what my first business would be."
"No more suspense, tell me."
"During the year of the war preparations, my mother took my sister and me back to my grandmother's home in Wahou. After the Chinese New Year, my mother took my younger siblings back and left me here to study. I remember it very clearly. When my mother left on the eighth day of the first lunar month, she secretly slipped me five yuan. I used that five yuan to start my own business."
"Five yuan was already a lot of money in 1980. I remember that my mother would only give me fifty cents as a New Year's gift during the Spring Festival. I felt that it was a huge sum of money at the time." Qin Suzhen was also led by Wan Feng to recall the past.
"Didn't I say that women are unreliable? You asked what business Wan Feng started in, why is he reminiscing about the good old days? I am older than you, and when I was a kid I only got a few cents as a lucky money during the Chinese New Year. Did I say anything?" Yang Pao came out to confront Qin Suzhen again.
"Don't interrupt, let Xiao Wan speak." Wang Zhonghai stopped Qin Suzhen and Yang Pao who were about to fight again.
Qin Suzhen glared at Yang Pao fiercely. "Damn Yang Pao, I don't think I've offended you. Why the hell do you always cause trouble for me?"
Wan Feng continued, "After my mother passed away, I went to Gushen Commune...now Gushan Township, and used my five yuan to buy comic books. I think the first batch I bought was over twenty. It wasn't that I didn't have the money, but there weren't that many varieties. So I picked out about twenty or so, and then gradually increased it. At the peak, I probably had about 160 or 170 books."
"You bought all the comic books? Why did you buy so many comic books?" Wang Zhonghai interrupted.
"I rented it out! I paid one cent a book a day, and it was packed with readers. I could almost pocket the New Year's money from the kids in the mountains and beyond. At first, I could earn enough to buy one comic book a day, and I kept adding to the pile. By the time school started, I had seventy or eighty comic books."
"Does the school allow you to rent comic books at the beginning of the semester? Won't they be confiscated?"
"Do you think I'm an idiot? I don't bring books to school or rent them out at school. If the school wants to confiscate them, they have to give me an explanation. Don't think I'm young and easy to fool."
"From the way you look now, I can tell you were probably not a good person when you were little."
"It was the guy who bought the game console from Wang Zhonghai and Yang Pao. My comic books were placed at his house at that time. Later on, he rented them for me and I hardly cared about them anymore."
"We've noticed this. You're like this now. As soon as any deal opens up, you disappear. It's like the entire base is yours..."
Wan Feng coughed quickly.
"...Zhang Zhiyuan takes care of everything for you." Wang Zhonghai, who was speaking, changed his father-in-law to Zhang Zhiyuan.
These people all understood Wan Feng's characteristics, and Qin Suzhen and Yang Pao nodded.
Wan Feng has not been in charge of the business in the base in the past year. It was managed by Zhang Zhiyuan and Yang Jianguo.
"Why should I manage everything myself when someone else is managing it for me? How can I manage all the stalls I have?"
It seems to make sense.
“Is this how a penny business has developed?”
"Yes! I started with a penny-per-cent business. Then I collected broken glass for a glass factory in Cuitun at the time and sold popsicles, fish melons, couplets, and other things. Later, I suggested building a brick and tile factory and took a share of the profits. Then I started the shoe factory, the machinery factory, and the Wahou market until now."
Wan Feng usually didn’t think about these things, but now when he looks back on them, he realizes that he has done quite a bit of business.
"Your experience could fill a book."
This is true. If Wan Feng’s experience were really written down, it could become a fairly large book.
But I guess no one will buy it.
While they were talking, several people walked from the rough processing workshop to the fine processing workshop. Wang Zhonghai and Yang Pao were surprised to see Qi Hong working on a machine in work clothes.
The two guys were so surprised that their eyes couldn't move.
"Isn't this that guy?" Yang Pao couldn't remember Qi Hong's name.
Although he knew that Qi Hong had once been Jian Si's subordinate and had appeared in Wan Feng's base, he was not very clear about her name.
Qi Hong was also surprised when she saw Wang Zhonghai and Yang Pao. "Why are the two big brothers from Heihe here? Did President Wan bring you here?"
Wan Feng nodded: "Yes, I will bring them here to see the world."
Wang Zhonghai, Yang Pao and Qi Hong were just acquaintances, and they didn't have much interaction with each other, so they didn't exchange much.
