Chapter 64: Business is Hard
Zhao Qianqian pondered for a while and said: "Wu Daochang, you are a person from outside the party, this time you can help us with righteousness, the government is also very grateful, as for the matter of contacting Yang Ling, you arrange it yourself, maybe you also have unexpected gains, this is also an extension and exchange of ancient Chinese civilization, and the government is also very happy to see it." ”
"Thank you, General Zhao. Daochang Wu hurriedly bent down and saluted.
Yang Ling didn't know what was going on here, at this time he was in a small electronics factory in Dongguan, and Ding Cong and Yuan Haichen were watching the workers assemble electronic products in the factory, this small factory called "Xiaoding Electronics Company" is not big, two closed steel structure greenhouse workshops, plus real yàn rooms, offices, add up to thousands of square meters, one or two hundred people, and outside, down a street, there are exactly the same factories on both sides, one next to the other, the whole place, the air is filled with a strange smell of electronics.
Workers wear masks, skillfully assemble the various accessories in front of them, a few minutes later a copycat mobile phone is thrown into the carton next to them, every half an hour, someone will pile up a trolley to collect the phone, send it to install batteries, test, clean, package, a product exported to Africa is completed.
Yang Ling couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he looked at the dazzling movements of the workers, and asked Ding Cong with a smile: "Sixth, these people are very fast, you still have to earn a lot of money a month, right?"
Ding Cong smiled bitterly and shook his head after hearing this, "Make money? You think too much, this batch of orders is done without losing money, now the gross profit of a mobile phone is about seven or eight yuan, and this product in Africa is the lowest end, the gross profit is about five yuan, the old-fashioned 3.2-inch screen, full keyboard, large-capacity battery, is the kind we used to use the old and earthy, 50,000 orders, the gross profit is less than 250,000, more than 100 workers can be completed in almost four days, but we can't finish it quickly when the order is small, otherwise the wages are gone, a worker is almost 120 yuan a day, drag on for a week, the salary is close to 100,000, and so on this batch of orders are good, there are no workers in vain, but the salary can not be less, alas~"
Yang Ling couldn't help but touch his head and smirk, maybe his money came too easily, so he didn't know much about this kind of low-value-added, high-density manual labor, but Dongguan currently relies on this kind of small factory to feed hundreds of thousands of workers, so he smiled and said: "If you don't make any money, you can be regarded as contributing to the country! At least the employment problem has been solved." ”
Ding Cong sighed depressedly and said: " Sort of, but the tax can not be paid less, the rent is increasing year by year, labor wages are also, only this year I know, there are eight electronics factories in the vicinity of the bankruptcy, one of which has a boss jumped to his death, that guy I know, and has drunk a few times together, people are very bold, only thirty-four years old, just like that, just died, leaving only a three-year-old daughter and wife, when the workers pulled banners around the factory gate to ask for wages, the mother and daughter cried heartbroken, several bosses nearby also went to symbolically donate some money, but it is also a drop in the bucket”
Yuan Haichen, who walked next to him, also said with feelings: "Yes, the economy has not been sluggish in recent years, the competition is fierce, and our business has been going downhill, fortunately, I have made some money in the past few years when real estate is hot, otherwise I will not be able to stand it, think about Chang'an now, there are seven or eight large building materials cities alone, and I don't know how many small ones, which does not include the products produced by some manufacturers along the coast, forcing us to tremble every day, like walking on thin ice." ”
The three of them were silent for a while, and then they met Ding Qiang, who happened to go down to the workshop to check, this man in his early thirties was full of tiredness, his eyes were bloodshot, he cheered up and smiled and walked over to hold Yuan Haichen's hand and said, "Mr. Yuan, you didn't go out for a walk? Why did you come to the workshop, the smell here is not good!"
"I don't have anything to do, just go around, and see that Mr. Ding's business is still very hot!" Yuan Haichen said with a smile.
Ding Qiang smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Yuan, you are here to slap your face, I am so worried that I can't open my eyes, let's go, I will accompany you out for a cup of tea." ”
Yang Ling hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Qiang, did something happen?"
"It's nothing, it's not the end of the year, just a few suppliers came to collect the payment, I just sent them away to take a look, this order can not be delayed, you have to do your best to deliver, I hope to be able to recover the payment before the Spring Festival, we want to celebrate the New Year, others also have the New Year! Ding Qiang pretended to smile and said.
Yang Ling pondered for a while and said, "Brother Qiang, didn't I remit 10 million last time, and Hang Lung Electronics didn't deliver it anyway, why don't you borrow some of it first?"
"It's not going to work. Ding Qiang hurriedly shook his head, "Yang Ling, I have learned about that thing of yours, 10 million is definitely not enough, so you better take care of yourself first, isn't it that far on my side?"
"Okay!" Yang Ling had no choice but to nod, the flying car project was about to start, and the investment was absolutely very scary, Yuan Haichen next to him also bowed his head and was silent, the so-called shallow words, he and Ding Cong's brothers were not familiar with each other, and he would not rush to help, not to mention that his money was going to be smashed on Yang Ling's flying car project.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, four people were sitting in the office talking and chatting, Ding Cong received a call from Henglong Electronics, saying that the sample had been taken off the assembly line, and asked him where to send it for testing, Ding Cong hung up the phone after saying a place, Yang Ling stood up with excitement on his face, "******, it's finally here, it's very fast!"
Ding Cong pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "Just kidding, you smashed such a big red envelope, who doesn't work hard, in less than a month, it will easily be tens of millions, and Lao Tzu is willing to vomit blood." ”
Yuan Haichen also stood up excitedly, the three of them walked to the door, but Ding Qiang did not come out, Yang Ling turned around and said, "Brother Qiang, let's go, let's go and have a look!"
"I'm going too?" Ding Qiang was a little surprised, he only knew that Yang Ling's project was very mysterious, and even his younger brother Ding Cong was tight-lipped about him, and he also knew the business rules, so he never asked, just helped contact Taiwan's Henglong Electronics.
"Brother, let's go, I'm sure I'll be surprised!" Ding Cong had played flying skateboarding in a secret place in the morning, and to be honest, until now, both legs seemed to be walking lightly and felt a little untouchable.
The four of them walked along the highway in a van for half an hour, almost leaving Dongguan, and finally came to a stop near an abandoned unfinished building.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, a closed minivan drove over, Ding Cong got out of the car and negotiated with them for a few words, confirming that it was the delivery vehicle of Hang Lung Electronics, so Ding Cong drove the van and the truck into the open space in the center of the unfinished building.
This huge complex is actually not finished, several houses made of reinforced concrete are dozens of meters high, but there is only a bare frame, nothing else.
