Zhang Shiqian is quite skilled in martial arts. He actually bought a tape copying device for Wan Feng. The device was not big, about 1.5 meters tall.
"Eighteen thousand. A state-of-the-art home tape recorder. Imported from Japan. It can produce fifty tapes an hour. Guaranteed sound quality identical to the original."
Zhang Shiqian was very proud.
Wan Feng took the machine home and unpacked it, and found that the instruction manual inside was indeed written in Japanese.
If this is authentic Japanese goods, 18,000 yuan is really a fair price. I guess it is purely smuggled goods.
A genuine small machine like this would probably cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Don't think that those foreign trade companies are good guys. They dare to sell a black and white TV that is only worth 60 yuan in the Japanese for more than 500 yuan. Isn't it normal for them to sell it for 100,000 or 80,000 yuan?
"How do I use it?"
Zhang Shiqian rolled his eyes: "Don't ask me about this. Ask whoever you want."
"Fuck, how do you know if it works if you don't know how to use it? What if it's a broken machine? Who can I cry to?"
Zhang Shiqian scratched his head. Wan Feng’s words made a lot of sense.
"They taught me, but I don't seem to remember it."
You have to remember it, you have to check it on the spot to see if it is a good machine.
Zhang Shiqian recalled violently, and Wan Feng fumbled and experimented. After fiddling with it for more than two hours, he finally figured out what this thing was.
Zhang Shiqian also brought Wan Feng 600 high-quality blank tapes, which together with the recording machine cost a total of 20,000 yuan.
This guy doesn't even know how much money he made from himself?
"Send me blank tapes regularly from now on. Just send me 2,000 a month."
"I can't send it at that price. I have to add at least 50 cents to each copy."
"Sanmao!"
"Four hairs!"
"make a deal!"
Such a blank tape costs less than four dollars, which Wan Feng thinks is quite a good deal.
With this equipment, Wan Feng no longer has to worry about audio tapes. Even if he doesn't sell pirated copies, at least the problem of giving away audio tapes as free gifts when selling tape recorders is solved.
But can he not sell it?
Audio cassettes are very profitable. When the country has no specific regulations on audio-visual products, you would be a fool not to sell them.
Wan Feng directly transferred the 20,000 yuan that Zhang Shiqian earned from selling the machine to the machinery factory as payment for Zhang Shiqian's car purchase.
When Zhang Shiqian was loading the truck, the truck delivering tires from Dongdan Tire Factory stopped at the door of the machinery factory. Wei Chunguang jumped out of the cab, which surprised Wan Feng and Zhang Hai.
Zhang Hai stood up and shook hands with Wei Chunguang.
"Wei Changchang, why are you here too?"
"This is your new tire. I think I have to come and see what you have come up with."
These tires are custom-made for tricycles.
"I also heard from our driver that you have set up a market here. I came to investigate whether we can set up a stall here to sell tires."
Wei Chunguang's words were like a meteor across the night sky, brightening Wan Feng's heart.
This is not a bad suggestion!
Since the machinery factory is determined to manufacture cars, it needs a large number of supporting facilities. Now it can only produce simple four-wheel and three-wheel vehicles, but in the future, if it produces low-speed vehicles, it will need supporting manufacturers.
If all the factories in the province and even the country set up stalls in the Wahou Market, they would make a profit from selling goods, and the production costs of the machinery factories would be greatly reduced. This is a win-win business model.
Even if Wahou cannot become a comprehensive market like Yiwu Xiliu in the future, it can definitely become a machinery market.
That’s a good idea.
"Director Wei, I think your idea is great. We produce tractors and tricycles here, and the tires will eventually wear out. By then, maybe manufacturers from other places will come to buy tires. This is also a good way for you to expand the market."
"Are there any manufacturers setting up stalls in this market?"
"Yes, but they are only responsible for shoes and hats. There are no mechanical related ones yet."
"Take me in and have a look."
Wan Feng and Zhang Hai accompanied Wei Chunguang into the market.
Wei Chunguang walked from one store to another, sometimes going in to take a look, and wandered from Area 1, which specialized in clothing, shoes and hats, to Area 2, which sold other items.
After learning that the largest rent for a house was only 120 yuan a year, Wei Chunguang decided to rent one as a pilot.
"I'm prepared for this pilot program to not sell a single tire in half a year."
Wan Feng shook his head: "That's simply impossible. Our tricycles don't come with a spare tire when they leave the factory. Do you think some people would spend money to buy a spare tire themselves?"
"That's possible."
"But sales can't be too high. It's hard to say. Once our tricycles reach a certain distribution volume, your tire sales will catch up, provided the quality of your tires is up to standard."
"Don't worry about that. Even though our factory has already died once, it would be unforgivable if we don't cherish this resurrection."
Wei Chunguang's unintentional action served as a reminder to Wan Feng.
"I think we should send people out to recruit some factories to set up stalls here to sell their products."
“The state-owned units won’t come at all.”
It is true that people from state-owned and collective units will not come if we try to recruit them now, but this is only temporary. In two years, when the market economy begins and they no longer have plans allocated by the state and have to find their own way out, they will put down their airs.
"We can attract those township enterprises, and they won't have so many problems. Beiliao is an industrial province, and there are hundreds or even thousands of township enterprises. They can just come and we provide them with a platform to expand their products, and they will expand our scale. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
"This requires someone who can talk big, like Zhang Shiqian. For now, we can leave it to the buyers from the machinery factory and the rubber shoe factory, or we can ask vendors from all over the country to help us contact them. We'll pay them accordingly if we contact one. With such a big reward, someone will definitely do it. In the future, we will recruit a group of such talents to lobby these companies across the province and even the country."
"I think it's okay. The factory's buyers are easy to deal with. Just tell them. What do these vendors say?"
"Why not just print some flyers and have the vendors spread them? Or maybe advertise on the provincial radio station?"
Once he made up his mind, he took action. The first person Wan Feng thought of was Zhang Shiqian who had not left yet.
"Contacting township enterprises to set up stalls in your area? What are you thinking?"
"You're just imagining things. If you can find someone, we'll give you a few dozen yuan as an introduction fee."
"Although a few dozen yuan isn't much, I'll help you contact them for your sake. There are a lot of small businesses in our area that operate covertly. I'll go back and make sure I handle the matter myself. I won't be responsible for whether they show up or not."
"We will pay you a referral fee for each company you come to."
"Oh well."
