Chapter 744: Positioning of the Printing Factory!
After receiving Nie Nansun's support, Zhou Yang quickly informed him of the matter.
Afterwards, the entire Babaoliang Research Institute took action.
No one has any objection to this matter. After all, everyone knows that they need such a factory to provide operating instructions and maintenance guides for artillery reconnaissance radars.
But they didn't know that Zhou Yang started this factory to provide employment for his family members and to generate income for the research institute.
Zhou Yang knew that in the late 1980s, as the country's focus shifted to the economy, various scientific research institutes and military industrial units experienced sharp declines in orders and funding cuts.
Many formerly powerful military factories were either forced to convert military operations to civilian operations, or simply closed down.
In such a situation, you must prepare for a rainy day.
The printing factory is just the first step in his attempt. In the next few years, he will plan to build a series of factories and enterprises around the research institute and Babaoliang Village.
Returning to the matter of preparing to build a printing factory, after some discussions, Zhou Yang transferred a working group from within the institute to deal with this matter.
At the same time, he appointed Qiao Weiguo as the leader of this group, fully responsible for the preparation of the second factory-run enterprise of the 888 Factory (the first one was the artillery radar assembly plant).
Fortunately, the factories are all ready-made. Of the two large factories built this year, except for one used for the artillery reconnaissance radar assembly project, the remaining one is still vacant and can be used as a printing factory.
However, it is not that easy to actually build this printing factory.
In addition to requiring a large amount of printing equipment, it also requires some professional talents.
What's more important is that paper needs to be applied for. After all, this is the era of planned economy, and all materials must be produced according to plans.
Let's put it this way, it's easy for everyone within the plan, hello, me, hello everyone, I can get you anything with the above batch of notes.
But outside the plan, even a screw is not easy to fix, even if you have money.
This is also the reason why the country has to create various bills in addition to currency. Only when you have money and bills at the same time, you can buy things as you like.
Zhou Yang's printing plant has no problems in other aspects. The only thing that gives him a headache is the paper.
Printing plants will inevitably use a large amount of paper. For now, there are no paper mills in either Yunshan County or Ning City, and all paper needs to be transported from Qingcheng.
If the quantity was smaller, that would be fine, but the problem is that Zhou Yang's dosage is particularly large.
As far as Zhou Yang knows, the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" published by Hucheng Publishing House in his previous life has printed a total of 4.35 million sets since October 1977, totaling more than 60 million copies.
At that time, they set the price based on the lowest standards for study documents, which was 0.08 yuan per printed sheet (32 sides), and the full set (17 volumes) was priced at 11.73 yuan.
In other words, just by printing and publishing the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry", Hucheng Publishing House made a small profit of 50 million.
Zhou Yang is not greedy, he can just ask for half of the share, and earn him 20 million first.
If this goal is implemented, Babaoliang Printing Factory will have to print at least two million copies of the "Self-Study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry". How much paper will this require?
In order not to affect the subsequent normal printing, Zhou Yang asked Qiao Weiguo to personally take people to Qingcheng, and asked him to talk to the Qingcheng Paper Mill in the name of the military and ask them to prepare a separate production plan for them next year.
In this way, the Babaoliang Printing Factory project was put into operation quickly under the auspices of Qiao Weiguo and others!
...........
Xipo. Research Institute!
Zhou Yang returned to his office from the conference room. After taking a breath, he grabbed the phone on the table.
Then, he dialed the phone number in his memory!
"Dudu..."
After the phone rang a few times, it was picked up, and a lesbian voice came from the other side: "Who is this from the Department of Commerce?"
"Hello, comrade, I am Zhou Yang, help me pick up Comrade Lu Zhengjun!"
"Hold on!"
Immediately afterwards, there was another "beep" sound from the microphone.
After a short while, the phone was connected again, and Lu Zhengjun's voice came from the phone: "Is it Comrade Zhou Yang?"
"Haha, it's me!"
"Hahaha, that's really rare. Why did you think of calling me today?" Lu Zhengjun asked with a smile.
"It's nothing. Firstly, I want to ask Lao Yan how things are going over there, and secondly, I want you to do me a favor!"
"Let's talk about Lao Yan's matters later. Let's talk about your matters first!"
Zhou Yang said immediately: "I have nothing to do. I just want you to send me a message home and ask my elder brother to come to my place."
"That's it? Why don't you call your dad and ask him to inform your brother?"
"My father went to the northwest and is no longer in the capital!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, then I'll go to your house later!"
"Well, tell my brother to go to the school library to find a set of "Self-study Books on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" when he comes. If there are other teaching materials, bring them with him!" Zhou Yang warned.
The reason why he asked his eldest brother Zhou Ping to come over was mainly because he wanted him to cooperate with Lao Zhangtou and learn from the Shanghai version of the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" to improve the "Series" on the front page of Lao Zhang.
In addition, Zhou Yang also wanted his eldest brother to help him get some teaching materials such as real test papers and print them together.
He knows the importance and market value of these real questions or mock papers for the exam. Think about the famous "May 3" in later generations. Maybe you have not used it, but you must have heard of it.
As a well-known college entrance examination teaching aid, it has accompanied countless students for many days and nights, and with its help, how many people have entered university and reached the pinnacle of life.
In Zhou Yang's position, the main business of Babaoliang Printing Factory in the future is to produce teaching aids. If it can produce a hit like "May 3rd", the entire institute will not be worried about money in the future.
"OK!"
"I've finished talking about my business, now let's talk about Lao Yan's business!" Zhou Yang said.
Lu Zhengjun on the other side of the phone said immediately: "Lao Yan is in trouble!"
"What's wrong?"
"Since they acquired the pharmaceutical factory, the scale, volume, turnover, and profits of Weiyuan Company have all increased rapidly. As of the end of last month, Lao Yan's business had achieved US$80 million in just 7 months.
The turnover and net profit reached US$56 million, or 84 million RMB!”
Hearing this, Zhou Yang was also slightly shocked.
Although he knows the market value of fluoxetine and atorvastatin, the promotion cycle of drugs has always been very long. Unless they are specific drugs for treating special diseases, it will be difficult for them to become popular within a short period of time.
However, Yan Gengdong was able to establish a foothold in Hong Kong Island where there are many pharmaceutical companies in such a short period of time, and was able to create a net profit of more than 50 million US dollars. This was certainly due to the blessing of pharmaceuticals.
But it is undeniable that Yan Gengdong's outstanding personal abilities are also crucial.
The country definitely chose the right person when it sent him to implement the Scythe Plan.
After the shock, Zhou Yang asked again: "What is Lao Yan's plan now?"
"I just made a secret trip to Hong Kong a few days ago to learn about Weiyuan Company and talk to Lao Yan."
Then Lu Zhengjun said again: "They have obtained the approval for atorvastatin to be launched on Hong Kong Island on January 1, 1977, so Lao Yan means to use Hong Kong Island as a testing ground first to try this
To improve the market acceptance of drugs, we have also applied for listing in countries such as Thief Eagle, Mao Xiong and Xiaori!"
"This is a good idea. As long as atorvastatin is promoted, Weiyuan Company will definitely meet our expectations and become a sharp sickle for us to reach out to the world!" Zhou Yang said.
"Well! The superiors are very satisfied with this plan and attach great importance to it. They plan to mobilize some professional talents to help Lao Yan!" Lu Zhengjun said.
"It's okay to help. The loyalty of the personnel must be guaranteed. The second thing is not to give random orders!" Zhou Yang said.
"Don't worry, the ones sent here this time are mainly pharmaceutical R&D personnel. The main reason is that Lao Yan and his colleagues don't even have a decent R&D team, which can easily arouse some people's suspicions!" Lu Zhengjun replied.
"Okay, you can figure it out..."
Then, after the two chatted for a while, they hung up the phone!
Chapter completed!
