Chapter 22, sharpening the knife to the business

"Okay, I know how to do it."

"Be careful in everything. If you encounter trouble, remember one principle: give up your money but not your life."

"Okay, I will definitely be careful."

While talking, Nan Yi took the two of them to the courtyard deep among the flowers.

After fixing some food, the three of them ate and talked.

"Uncle Xian, have you read the recent newspapers?"

"Nanyi, what are you referring to?"

"Forget it, I guess you haven't seen it before. Let me tell you directly. As for big things, the higher-ups are already discussing internal reforms, opening up to the outside world, loosening the shackles of farmers, and injecting vitality into the economy.

Since 1965, our country's GDP ranking in the world has been declining. Even India and India have put pressure on us to revitalize the economy and make the people rich. This will be the theme of the future.

Therefore, it won’t be long before individuals can do business.

But the first person to eat the crab will most likely be poisoned to death. Let’s not try to be the first person. Let’s put it aside as an individual. Let’s consider Wenchangwei as a collective first.

The production team should develop side businesses. This has always been advocated by the superiors. We Wenchangwei must also develop side businesses and establish our own collectively owned factory.

Uncle Xian, you should still have an impression of how everyone dressed in the 1950s, right?"

"Of course, there were many styles of clothing at that time, including suits for men and cheongsam for women. Yangcheng opened its port early, and all kinds of foreign gadgets were imported. The clothes were all fancy and all kinds of things.

After that, it became completely blue and half white, and everyone wore similar clothes, which was very monotonous.

However, when the train came this time, I saw a few women wearing those nice-looking clothes on the train...what are those clothes called?"

"It should be a coat."

"I guess it makes people look much better when wearing those clothes."

"The second point I want to make is about clothes. Nowadays, girls are more fashionable, and indeed Liang has long been tired of wearing them. They want to wear something different. But I looked in supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores, and there are no clothes.

How many new styles.

Before the domestic clothing factories have reacted, we opened a clothing factory in Wenchang to produce popular styles of Xianghuan.

After you go back, open the factory, then go to the machinery factory to purchase electric sewing machines, and the textile factory to purchase fabrics. Once the things are in place, let the women start practicing first.

Once the training is complete, we will start organizing production. Uncle Yao Guo will be in charge of the factory director. He has experience in leading troops and is suitable for managing people.

As for you, Uncle Xian, after the samples came out, you started to go to the purchasing department of the supply and marketing cooperative, city to city, don't just do it, treat guests to dinner, give gifts, and get a sales rebate."

“What are sales rebates?”

"Let me give you an example. For example, for the supply and marketing cooperative in Bao'an, we estimate that we can sell 1,000 pieces. As long as the supply and marketing cooperative completes the task, we will give them a sales reward of 100 yuan. This is a rebate."

"I understand, give them some benefits and increase their enthusiasm."

"Absolutely. The key point is that you have to figure out who should give this rebate. For specific issues, you have to analyze in detail who can make our sales increase. Anyway, we have such a budget, I don't care who we give it to.

Just look at the results.”

When Nan Yi spoke, he had deliberately placed himself in the role of commander, subtly letting Xian Yaodong accept this change.

"Is it okay to give it to someone?"

"I said, you can give it to anyone, or you can keep it yourself. I don't care. I only look at the sales volume."

"Okay, I understand."

"Also, the tape business is owned by the three of us. I will take 50%, you will take 30% for the people, and Uncle Xian will take 20%. Do you have any objections?"

"I have no objection. I have contributed the least and should receive the least," Xian Yaodong said.

"I don't have any objection. Thirty percent is already a lot. Nanyi, you didn't even ask me to pay for it, so I'm a little worried."

"It's okay. We've just started now, so let's make a rough division like this. If you do other businesses in the future, you have to sit down and figure it out clearly. How much investment, how much effort, and how much should be accounted for.

Let me explain to you again why we want to do the tape business now.

Starting last month, tape recorders have been allowed to be brought to the mainland by overseas Chinese visiting relatives from Guangzhou; tape recorders used for teaching in various schools are no longer subject to special approval procedures;

Moreover, an inspection team organized by the Ministry of Commerce to go to Hong Kong purchased 10,000 cassette recorders from Hong Kong Kangli Company at a price of HK$93 per unit.

The stuff has arrived in the capital and has been put up for sale in department stores. One unit costs 200 yuan, which is quite expensive.

If you have a cassette player, you must have a tape. Most people are tired of listening to those mainland songs. I have bought a cassette player worth several hundred yuan, and I don’t mind spending a few yuan to buy a cassette tape to listen to.

Our cost for a box of tapes is about RMB 40. Our ex-factory price is not expensive. Large quantities are sold for RMB 3, small quantities are sold for RMB 3.5 and RMB 4. This leaves some profit for wholesalers, and the final price is controlled at RMB 6. About seven yuan.”
