Wan Feng vaguely remembered that a few years later, the high-ranking county official in Hongya was named Liang. It seemed that Secretary Liang started out as a commune secretary and then went to the county to manage industry. It seemed that he became a high-ranking county official around 1988 and worked for many years. It seemed that he was transferred to Bohai City around 1995 to serve as an official and then retired.
Regardless of whether this person is Liang Hongying's uncle, Wan Feng still wants to get closer to Liang Hongying.
It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go.
What if it is him? In the future, if I need to do something, I can ask Liang Hongying to help me with it.
Even if you invest in advance.
Although there is a possibility of investment failure, it seems that he will not lose much.
In the evening, Wan Feng came to Xigouli after dinner. Zhang Guangdong came this afternoon and brought the motorcycle parts that Wan Feng needed.
With the spare parts, he felt that his old bike could be cleaned up and smoked, and he could ride it after fixing the engine.
Xiao Dexiang and his team have cleaned up the carport and the truck bed, and painted them. They look like new from a distance.
Now all that's missing is the engine.
These accessories were packed in a crude wooden box with large gaps between the wooden boards and straw padding inside to cushion the impact and vibration.
Before Wan Feng could open the wooden box, Zhang Hai came in hurriedly.
In Luan Feng's room, Wan Feng was dismantling the wooden box while listening to Zhang Hai chattering.
"Nephew, we've already made dozens of those seed drills. We should find a way to sell them. Spring planting is almost here, and if we don't sell them, they'll be piled up."
This is a problem. He has been going to school every day recently and has never thought about this issue.
You can't sell a seed drill at the market.
It is different from clothing, shoes and hats, and even different from the hand-cranked thresher sold by Luan Jianshe.
Everyone is familiar with things like clothing, shoes and hats, and the hand-cranked thresher can also be demonstrated on site to let people know what it does.
But who knows what a seeder is at the market?
Even demonstrations are very difficult, and on-site displays cannot achieve the best publicity effect.
Moreover, except for some pilot production teams in the surrounding rural areas, most of the production teams are still collective, and the farmers would not buy it even if they understood what it was used for.
The land is not his, so why should he spend more than ten dollars to buy such a thing?
This thing can only be sold to the means of production department of the supply and marketing cooperative or to the county agricultural materials company. Even if it is sold to these units, farmers will not buy it for the same reason.
Unless the entire Hongya County implements the contract responsibility system, but that will happen at the earliest next year.
There is no television or advertising now, so even after the contract is signed, it will take a long time for farmers to adapt to such things.
Therefore, even if it is put in the store, it will not sell out too quickly.
Wan Feng thought for a long time, and finally his eyes lit up.
"There's a solution. Take your seed drill to the commune and see Secretary Liang tomorrow."
Zhang Hai was confused: "Why are you looking for him?"
"Show him the seeder's performance in detail, and he'll definitely support it. Wahou is the pilot team he's in charge of. If he doesn't support it, who will? Besides, our seeder isn't a scam; it truly saves manpower and improves efficiency. Let him promote it to every brigade. After all, this is Wahou Industry's first product. Think about it, with his promotion, every brigade will have to buy a few, right? Even if it's just for the Secretary's sake, they'll have to buy it, right?"
Zhang Hai scratched his head. "Even if every brigade buys this, how many can they afford?"
"You don't understand. Let me give you an example. Take Wahou for example. How many seed drills should a team have to plant all our fields?"
Zhang Hai thought for a moment, "Our team doesn't have a lot of land, but we still have about one or two thousand acres. If we use this thing to sow seeds, we'll need at least three or four to avoid delaying spring planting."
"That's enough. Our commune has eleven brigades, and each brigade has seven or eight squads, so there are seventy or eighty squads. If each squad buys three or four, we'll have sold two or three hundred units."
"But what's the good of this?"
"Haha, have Secretary Liang go to the county and find the deputy head in charge of agriculture. Every spring the county holds several meetings on spring sowing. There's still time. If the deputy head promotes this to every commune during the meeting, what do you think the results will be?"
Zhang Hai's eyes lit up. "That's a pretty big deal. Our county has 33 communes, and each has 70 or 80 teams. If each team buys three, how much would that be?"
Zhang Hai began to pick at his fingers.
"Wow, five or six thousand units!" Zhang Hai exclaimed.
"Not necessarily that many. Even if we sell at a 50% discount, we still have 3,000 units. We make 10 yuan per unit, which means a profit of 30,000 yuan. This is a very good profit for a seasonal product in its first year. Our brick and tile factory only makes a few tens of thousands of yuan in profit even if we work hard all year. But that's not the main point. I believe that after this spring promotion, the farmers in the county will all know what this thing is, what it can do and what its advantages are. That's the main point. When the county starts the contract responsibility system tomorrow and the land is contracted to everyone, don't you think there will be a huge market for our seed drill?"
Zhang Hai nodded: "That makes sense! It makes a lot of sense."
"Hongya is bordered by Lanpu County to the west, Gaizhou County to the northwest, Xiuyan County to the northeast, and Lingoudong County to the east. By radiating our influence to the communes adjacent to these counties, our products will likely enter these counties next year, and by the year after, we can be sure that our products will dominate the entire coastal area of Beiliao Province and parts of the central and southern regions. Conservatively, we estimate how much revenue we can generate if we sell even 30,000 to 40,000 units a year."
Thirty to forty thousand units, that would mean an income of more than three hundred thousand!
This is an unimaginable income.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hai could no longer sit still and stood up. "There's no time to lose. I'm going to the commune early tomorrow morning and I'm going to ask the secretary to promote it for us."
After saying that, he hurried out.
After the problem with the seeder was solved, Wan Feng began to concentrate on packing up his motorcycle.
They opened the wooden box, took out the parts and started to install them. They were busy until Luan Feng's workshop closed down before the engine was finally assembled.
But even after installation, I can't test it.
It's already ten o'clock in the evening. If this thing is started without a silencer, I guess the entire Jiangwei Brigade will be able to hear it.
Let's wait until Sunday to test it. Once there are no problems, install the engine and test the car.
Now that the engine is done, it's time to focus on the design of the tractor. I don't know if Xiao Dexiang and others have studied the structure of the hand-held gearbox and rear axle.
