"Mr. Jia, you can't say that. Everything has a development process. How can you be so sure that your shipyard can't develop? Who knows, maybe you can even build an aircraft carrier in the future."
Wan Feng's words made everyone around him laugh.
Jia Huo said with a sad face: "Boss Wan! I found that you are quite good at talking nonsense."
"You just realized it? Our General Wan is not only good at talking nonsense, he is extremely good at talking nonsense!" said a factory director of Nan Dawan who was sitting side by side with Jia Huo behind Wan Feng.
"Really? My wife always says I'm out of tune and always talks nonsense. It turns out Mr. Wan is a fellow traveler. Let's get together for a drink that day."
The fact that this guy's business license has his wife's name on it may not be related to his name, it may be related to his weirdness.
"This is not nonsense. Who knows which cloud will bring rain? No one can predict what we will do in the future. People should have ideals, just in case they come true."
"Mr. Wan! What did you do initially?" Jia Huo asked Wan Feng.
"Me? Haha, I've done a lot of things."
"Tell me about it. Maybe your success story will be a positive guide for our future lives."
Jia Huo is really a big talker. He actually plans to regard Wan Feng as his spiritual mentor.
"Just talk about it, there's nothing to be afraid of and it's not against the law. My first business was renting comic books."
Wan Feng's answer stunned not only Xiao Zhuo and Jia Huo, but also everyone around him.
"Renting comic books? How old were you then?"
Picture books are for children. Wan Feng must not have been a big boy at that time, because he is not big now.
He should be the youngest among the entrepreneurs present.
Wan Feng recalled: "About thirteen years old."
"Holy crap! You're already speculating and profiteering at the age of thirteen? What year is that?"
"In 1980, when I was thirteen, my mother gave me five yuan in pocket money, which I spent on picture books. I rented them out in the village and at school for a penny a copy."
Wan Feng recalled that time and thought it was so nice to be carefree.
"Then what?"
"Then? What did I do then? I collected broken glass from the wire drawing factory of the brigade next to us, sold cantaloupes, ice cream, popsicles, fish, and wheelchairs, and even gave the team ideas for building a brick and tile factory..."
"Ah! Why are there wheelchairs for sale here?"
Jiang Hongguo was sitting right to Wan Feng. He now had a prosthetic limb and no longer needed a wheelchair.
At this time, Jiang Hongguo interjected, "I can testify that I did sell wheelchairs. Almost all the wheelchair users in Hongya County back then were designed by him."
"What happened next?" Jia Huo was anxious to hear more.
"Later, I think I sold couplets. What else did I do? I can't remember. Let's not dwell on the past and talk about the future. Director Xiao, how is your small business?"
Xiao Zhuoxian sighed, "Alas! I started doing this in 1988. At the beginning, it seemed that no one else was doing this except for the agricultural machinery repair factory in Jiangwei. It was pretty good back then. My small factory also grew to dozens of people, and I made more than 100,000 yuan a year. Especially after I stopped doing it in Wahou, my products were sold from Hongya to Xiuyan to Gaixian and Goudong counties. It was really prosperous for a while. But in the past two years, it has been no longer so good, especially this year. There are more than a dozen companies doing this in Xiuyan, Gaixian, and even Hongya and Goudong. The products have entered a vicious competition. My small factory can only maintain its balance now. I am planning to switch to other production."
Wan Feng nodded and turned to Jia Huo: "What about you? Do you have the dream of building an aircraft carrier?"
"Come on, forget it. We don't even have many fishing boats left, let alone aircraft carriers. I've only received orders for twelve new ships this year. If we hadn't been able to repair the old ones, we'd have closed down long ago. Mr. Wan! You don't have any other projects you don't want to work on? Could you help us out?"
"That's right! That's what I mean. There's no future in making induced draft fans and submersible pumps. Let's see if we can get a share of the rice with General Wan. Any little that slips through your fingers would be enough for us to eat to our heart's content."
These people thought he was a rich man.
"Don't mention it, I actually have some projects I need to find someone to do, and I'm worried you guys can't do it."
When Xiao Zhuo, Jia Huo and the others heard Wan Feng say yes, they pricked up their ears.
When they specialized in motorcycles, the more than 500 supporting factories under Wan Feng could only make the parts together, and many of them produced several types of parts at the same time.
Of course, these accessories are not big, so they can be dealt with.
But now, Nanwan Group has both trucks and pickups, and is conducting experiments on microvans. It will soon produce microcars, so these supporting factories will not be enough.
A car has many more accessories than a motorcycle.
If a company produces the same parts for a motorcycle, it will need one to three hundred or four hundred supporting factories.
Then the accessories of a car are two to three times or even more than those of a motorcycle.
This will free up thousands of projects.
The supporting factories that originally made motorcycle parts have accumulated experience and have some economic strength. They are destined to upgrade their equipment and technology to become supporting factories for car parts.
Even if one of their companies can run three or four projects concurrently, it would only be more than 2,000 parts, which is not enough.
Besides, they have been upgraded to become accessories for cars, but what about the motorcycle parts?
Wan Feng must prepare for the future and resolve this gap now to avoid being caught off guard when the time comes.
This time, when recruiting supporting factories, he plans to focus on the enterprises in Hongya City first, and then look for them in Beiliao Province if they are unable to do so.
"We can do it." Xiao Zhuo and Jia Huo patted their chests and promised.
"How about this? If you want to do supporting work for Nanwan Group, you can go to Nanwan Group and sign up tomorrow. Then I'll inspect your company and take a look at your equipment, technology, and so on to determine what you can do. How about that?"
"good!"
The people around responded.
The companies attending the meeting today that are doing poorly naturally hope to rely on the Nanwan Group for shade, while those that are doing well also want to see if they can find new economic growth points in the Nanwan Group.
Therefore, it is estimated that there will be quite a few companies registering with Nanwan Group tomorrow.
It was already past 3:30 when the meeting ended.
Wan Feng walked together with the city’s senior officials and the mayor.
Wan Feng expressed his idea of rebuilding a key high school.
Wan Feng's idea attracted the interest of senior city officials, the mayor and the director of education.
"Oh! Mr. Wan! How did you come up with the idea of rebuilding a key high school?"
"I don't just want to build key high schools; I want to rebuild all high schools. A region can't achieve economic growth without high-quality talent. I've seen that the conditions of our city's high schools and middle schools are relatively poor. I want to do my part to improve our city's teaching environment."
"That's a good idea of yours. Let's discuss it as soon as possible and I'll give you a reply soon."
Even if this matter is brought up.
