The group set out from Shijiazhuang, took a train and a bus, and finally parted ways after arriving in Yantai.
Luo Zhongxing took them by boat to Bohai Sea, while Wan Feng went south directly to Qin Island.
Qindao Third Radio Factory installed a tape recorder movement production line in 1981, specializing in the production of single-card and dual-card tape recorder movements.
The business was pretty good in the past two years, and some tape recorder assemblers would come to purchase goods.
However, in the past two years, as tape recorders became popular, their business has become worse.
The recorder movement is not a difficult thing to make. Some assembly manufacturers started to add their own movement production lines at the end of last year and this year after the recorder market became popular. Therefore, the products of Qindao San Wireless have experienced a strange phenomenon: the recorder market has become prosperous but their profits have declined month by month.
They were also studying plans for the entire machine, but their work efficiency was very low. After dragging their feet for more than half a year, they still hadn't come up with a feasible plan.
It was at this favorable moment that Wan Feng appeared in Qindao Three Wireless.
Wan Feng did not go directly to the San Wireless factory to negotiate the contract. Instead, he stayed in a hotel in front of San Wireless for a day. Through observation and asking questions, he got a general understanding of the situation of the factory.
Then he went to the supply and marketing department of the factory the next day and got the most favorable price by using 10,000 movements as bargaining chips.
The ex-factory price of the movement assembly market remains at around 41 yuan, and 10,000 movements means a sales volume of more than 400,000 yuan, which is a transaction volume that can attract the attention of manufacturers.
Wan Feng then got the best price of thirty-nine yuan, which was lower than the factory price.
If Wanfeng's small tape recorder assembly plant operates at full capacity, the output of 10,000 movements will only be more than half a year, so it is not a problem to assemble 40 to 50 units a day.
So he can easily handle ten thousand movements.
The contract stipulates that San Wireless must supply no less than 1,500 movement units per month, and the units must be shipped to the location designated by Wan Feng, with payment being made upon arrival.
Therefore, after the contract was signed, San Wireless loaded the first batch of 3,000 movements, which was two months' order quantity, into trucks and sent them to the destination.
Wan Feng also took a truck to Yantai, then a boat to Bohai, back to Hongya, and finally back to Wahou.
After the truck unloaded the goods in front of Wan Feng's house, Wan Feng paid the price of 117,000 yuan with a bill of exchange.
After Wan Feng sent San Wireless's car away, he came to the machinery factory. He wanted to know the operating condition of the engine.
Luo Zhongxing and his team returned to Wa two days earlier than Wan Feng, and were now studying the engine in the workshop.
Liu Yang was also here, and Wan Feng saw the excitement on his face that came from the bottom of his heart.
"Ah? No experiment? Why not experiment? Wait for me to come back? Why wait for me to come back?"
There's no point in waiting for him to come back!
"Now that I'm back, let's start the experiment!"
These people are so stubborn that they have to wait for him to come back before conducting the experiment. Isn’t this ridiculous?
The engine was started and a monotonous rumbling sound was emitted.
Five minutes later, everything was normal;
For eight minutes, everything was normal;
Ten minutes, everything is fine...
Now the original engine operation record has been broken, and it seems that there is no problem at this point.
The experiment continues.
Although the normal operation of the engine made people happy, the monotonous rumbling sound was not pleasant at all. Wan Feng pulled Liu Yang out of the experimental workshop.
There is still a long row of trucks parked at the gate of the machinery factory, which has become a unique landscape here.
Wan Feng and Liu Yang ran to the gate and squatted in the shade, watching a truck loading a tractor.
"Where's your partner and your sister?"
"They wouldn't stay in this place full of oil and noise. They've gone to the market to have fun."
"You've seen what happened in the depression, right? I didn't fool you, did I?"
Liu Yang nodded. "I really didn't expect that your village-run enterprise, which strictly speaking isn't even a village-run enterprise, actually has such strong technical capabilities. It's really unbelievable."
"Haha, we don't have much talent. Three years ago, we couldn't even make a shovel here. The only way we've been able to develop to this point is by recruiting people from all over. With talent, we have everything. Are you interested in starting a business here?"
“Starting a business here?”
"Yes, if you two come here to start a business, I'll pay for the investment and construction of the factory. I'll just lend you the money to set up the factory. I won't take any shares, interest, or administrative intervention. You can choose the entire Jiangwei Brigade or even the Warrior Commune. Your product is piston rings. If you have enough personnel and technology to produce pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, etc., we will also support you."
Wan Feng offered them a very favorable condition, that is, Wan Feng would fund them to build the factory, and he would neither invest in shares nor get involved in the management of the factory. Moreover, there was no interest on the loan, and the profits created by the factory would be theirs except for the profits and taxes that had to be paid to the state.
Liu Yang took a deep breath and said, "I've remembered the conditions you gave me. I'm going to go back and discuss this with my father. I don't mind it, but since he's reluctant to leave his hometown, I don't think there's much hope."
Wan Feng naturally hopes that the Liu father and son can come to Wa to start a business. In that way, the products produced will have one less transportation link, which will save a lot of costs.
At this time, Liu Xiyuan and Shu Ying came back from the market in high spirits, their heads covered in sweat.
"Hey, Xiao Wan is back?"
"I'm back. How's it going? Isn't it nice here?"
"It's very lively. I think it's even more lively than our Shijiazhuang, especially this big market where people coming and going are all doing business." Shu Ying admired sincerely.
"So you're planning to work here?"
"I am planning to stay. It is not my decision whether Yuanyuan stays or not."
"Of course I'll stay too."
Liu Yang's face turned ugly. He came here with three people, and it was very likely that he would be alone when he returned.
"Then what should I do?"
"If you don't want to stay, then forget it! There are two-legged men everywhere." Shu Ying said this directly.
Hehe, this is a good trick. Liu Yang will come even if he doesn’t want to.
"If you want to work, we have many options here, such as working as waiters in some shops in the market or working in our factories. I don't think the machinery factory is suitable for you. We also have rubber shoe factories and garment factories here, which have more female workers."
"Ah? You have a garment factory? Why didn't we see it?"
"The garment factory is not in Wahou, it's at the brigade. If you want to go there, I can take you to have a look."
"Then take us to see it now."
"That'll have to wait a while. I need to see how long that engine lasts."
At this moment, Luo Zhongxing walked out of the experimental workshop and excitedly said to Wan Feng, "The whole machine has been running for more than 50 minutes now. It can be said that it is basically successful."
Compared with Luo Zhongxing's excitement, Wan Feng was very calm.
