When Qu Yang and Wang Zhonghai appeared in front of Wan Feng, looking weathered, Wan Feng was really surprised.
"Teacher Qu, where are you from?" At the gate of the old factory in Nanwan, Wan Feng greeted Qu Yang in a surprised tone.
Qu Yang used to be Wan Feng's teacher, and Wan Feng still calls him teacher in private, even though he hasn't been a teacher for many years.
"Where else could I have come from? Of course I came from Heihe. Wang Zhonghai brought me here, otherwise I probably wouldn't have been able to find Jiang Wei."
If you don’t have someone you know to lead you, it’s not easy to find Hongya. After all, the transportation is not that convenient and it is far away from the main railway artery.
"Come in and sit down."
Wan Feng welcomed Qu Yang, Wang Zhonghai and the two entourages brought by Qu Yang into his office, and poured tea and handed out cigarettes.
"This is the alphabet teapot they have there that I bought when I went to Tuerqi. Let me try it and see what the tea it makes tastes like."
Wan Feng poured a cup of tea for Qu Yang and others using a letter kettle.
"Brother Wan! What are you doing there?" Wang Zhonghai asked.
"I went there to do something at the end of last year."
"Is it fun?"
"It's bullshit fun. I went there once and I never thought about going there again in my life." This is the truth. People like Wan Feng who have seen the world really think that Tuerqi is just so-so.
After taking a sip of tea and a puff of cigarette, Qu Yang said straight to the point that he was not here for tourism.
"Xiao Wan, the hazelnuts and hazel mushrooms you mentioned two years ago, we conducted trial plantings on hillsides and in open fields last year. We planted local wild hazelnuts and European hazelnut varieties purchased from Russia. The trial planting was successful, but we won't know the yield until this year. However, the growth in the open fields doesn't seem to be as good as on the hillsides, but it's okay. If it works this year, we plan to plant 5,000 acres next year to see the results. If that works, we'll plan to promote it on a larger scale."
The yield of European hazelnuts is quite high, reaching more than 700 kilograms.
Even if you buy it for fifty cents a pound, it is better than growing wheat and soybeans now.
Qu Yang first introduced the hazelnut planting plan, and then began to talk about the purpose of his visit.
"Didn't you say last winter that you had a motorcycle production line you wanted to transfer? After careful consideration, the Heihe Municipal Party Committee decided to purchase the line."
"I've considered this question, and it's not impossible. If we only focus on Longjiang Province and the Far East region of Russia, and add some of the Neimen Province, we can barely make ends meet. There's a market of about 40 million people. Don't expect to make a fortune on this scale, but it's enough to support a few people. Although we have the market, how will you provide the supporting facilities? I don't know how much industrial base Heihe has, so how much supporting facilities can you provide?"
"We've conducted research in Heilongjiang Province. If we connect Harbin with Qiqihar and Jiamusi, we can solve 50% of the supporting facilities in the next three years. The rest will have to come from you."
Several major cities in Heilongjiang Province still have a strong industrial base. Quyang can say this. No matter how much it costs to transport the goods, it consumes less parts from Harbin Qiqihar to Heihe than from Jiangwei.
But in three years, when the National I emission standard comes out, two-stroke motorcycles will be eliminated.
However, it is possible to specialize in selling Russian screws. The Far East is a remote place with few people and a lot of land. Who would care about air pollution?
How much sales can a region in the Far East with a population of just over 6 million people achieve? Can it sell 50,000 units a year?
"Teacher Qu, our country is currently negotiating its accession to the WTO, which will likely be around in another five years. After joining, we'll adopt international air emissions standards, and the AX100 motorcycle will be phased out in China. This means the transportation authorities won't license it. Have you considered this?"
"Didn't you say last time you could sell it to the Russians? Besides, even without a license plate, people in the countryside can still ride it. Why would rural people care about having a license plate? If all else fails, let Longjiang Province come up with a local policy and issue a license plate that's only valid in Longjiang Province. Consider it support for local industry."
Not to mention, these cadres below are also quite capable of dealing with people. No wonder there is a saying that every policy from above has a countermeasure from below.
This is someone else's business, Wan Feng has no right to interfere.
"Anyway, I've made it clear. You can decide what to do next."
"First, take me to see the motorcycle production line you want to transfer. I don't even know how a motorcycle is produced."
Of course, I have to take Qu Yang and the others around to have a look.
Wan Feng took Qu Yang and his entourage out of the office and into the AX100 production workshop.
The workshop was bustling with activity. Parts were loaded onto the assembly line and passed through each procedure at a very fast speed. When they reached the end of the assembly workshop, a motorcycle without a front wheel and handlebars appeared.
The packaged motorcycle cannot be installed with the front wheel and handlebars. These two parts must be packed separately in the box to reduce the volume of the package.
"So this is how motorcycles are produced." Qu Yang exclaimed.
"This workshop originally had three production lines capable of producing 200,000 units. Two summers ago, a factory in Shijiazhuang, Beihe, bought one of these production lines, and it's been two years since then. Initially, they were getting parts from us, but after two years, the only parts we're getting are engines. We've already gotten 80% of the rest, if not all of them."
"Are you talking about the Eagle AX100 on the market?"
"I think so. I never asked what their brand was."
"How much did they pay for that line?"
"Eight million."
"Xiao Wan, can we get a better deal on your purchase? It was only eight million two years ago, but now it's only worth half that."
Wan Feng smiled. "Teacher, that's not how it's calculated. But if you really want it, I can offer a discount. How about 10 million if you can continue these two lines? All the technical information will be transferred to you."
Qu Yang was a bit troubled: "Xiao Wan! Logically speaking, your price is not excessive for including all the technical information, but you also know the economic conditions in Heihe. Can you think of a lower price?"
Wan Feng scratched his head for a long time: "Teacher! It's not easy for you to talk back, so I will reduce the price by one million, no less. Beihe bought one line for eight million, and you bought two lines for nine million. This business is not easy to do!"
Qu Yang was also very happy to get a saving of one million.
Qu Yang came here with real determination this time. If he didn't take the initiative to do something in Heihe, he really wouldn't be able to do anything.
Unless you work in agriculture.
It's too remote. If a region only engages in agriculture, it basically has no future.
You can only rely on yourself and try with your eyes closed. If you don't, you will never make a difference.
