Bai Hao said: "How much does 100 million pairs of socks cost? If I double the profit for you, it will not exceed one million US dollars. Moreover, as far as I can see, the exchange rate is still changing recently. One US dollar is exchanged for 2.8
How many pairs of socks can we buy with two and eight dollars?"
Heixu gestured, and there seemed to be a bundle.
Bai Hao said: "I bought football socks for Lu Ming, and they were the extended kind. They cost three yuan to buy a bundle, and there are twelve socks in a bundle. That is, a pair costs less than thirty cents."
"One hundred million pairs is 30 million Xia national currency, which is equivalent to 10 million U.S. dollars. Cost, transportation, customs clearance, etc., making one million is a myth. I think the profit is at most 500,000 U.S. dollars.
A solid natural gas power plant plus power transmission and transformation facilities can start with a profit of US$50 million, right?"
After thinking about it this way, it is indeed the case.
Heixu sighed: "Okay."
"I didn't say I wouldn't help, I just said that this matter is boring. And we are a heavy industry and electronics factory, so this matter is..." Bai Hao originally wanted to say that this is a side subject, not our major. But his head suddenly flashed.
Passed a piece of news.
Before I was reborn, I remembered a certain financial news saying that Xia State exported more than 12 million socks a month.
An M is a million.
That's billions of pairs.
But then I thought about it, if everything in Factory 9 is sticky, would I be scolded?
After much deliberation, Bai Hao thought that he should help Heixu this time.
An hour later, Bai Hao finished his meal.
In room 3302, Bai Hao was sitting on the balcony watching the sunset.
As for Heixu, he was concerned about the old electrical appliances he had acquired.
At this time, Ludao City, Licheng.
Containers thirty meters high have been piled up in the huge open space, and tens of thousands of people are busy.
There are huge lights hanging on the high iron frames, illuminating the place as if it were daytime.
I don't know how many temporary wires are here.
The container is opened, and the person responsible for handling transports the TVs with labels on them to the designated location.
There are several areas here.
90% new TV sets, 90% new washing machines, 90% new refrigerators...
80% new...
…
damaged...
Each area has a built-in shed and electrical wires.
90% new ones were shipped over, plugged in and turned on.
After everything was normal, it was transferred to the back, where many teams began to disassemble, clean and re-test. A completed form was posted on the TV, packaged, and then installed according to the country of origin, brand, and model.
New container.
Fill a container, put it directly on the truck, and transport it to the temporary warehouse at the train station.
For those with minor problems, the master will guide his apprentices, and they will also recruit radio technology enthusiasts throughout the country, especially young workers in the industry. The standard is eight yuan a day, and they will be responsible for food and housing. Those who are excellent will be promoted, and those who are incompetent will be promoted.
reduce.
Repair minor problems, clean, refurbish the casing, install a remote control, repackage, and add a maintenance order.
If there is a serious problem, just disassemble the parts.
The two cities are doing it in full swing. They don't worry about whether this thing is worth it or whether the Ninth Factory has ever done a business that lost money.
If a container is replaced with a new box, most of them are color TVs, which means it can only hold less than 200 units. If it is replaced with a washing machine, it can barely hold 50 units, and less than 40 refrigerators.
These days in Yi Dao, there are tens of thousands of TVs of various models.
Seeing that more than 40 containers were filled and shipped away, the people in charge on both sides quickly reported to the people in the Ninth Factory.
People from Factory No. 9 contacted the railway to arrange freight transportation.
By the way, it's nighttime.
It was time to go to work in Beautiful Country, and Bai Hao picked up the phone.
"Hey, Vincent, this is Bai." Bai Hao called the person in charge of purchasing kimchi and hot sauce at Wowoma.
"Hello, dear Bai. I am about to send an email to your office. The sales of kimchi are very good. I want to increase my order. Also, the gift you gave us last time is a very magical one.
Taste: sweet, slightly spicy, salty, looks like an irregular brown stone, and is snow-white inside."
Vincent worked hard to describe this popular new food.
Bai Hao knew what it was.
It is one of the various kinds of kimchi that Wowoma people are invited to taste as a gift.
After Vincent finished speaking, Bai Hao said: "This thing is actually not native to our Xia country. As soon as I told you, you will know that in your place, this is a grass that you hate very much, called Helianthus tuberosus. It is a perennial herbaceous plant.
.”
"Oh! The cake seller actually found this thing, the root of the devil's grass that even beggars won't eat. It's so amazing and unexpected. Could it be that this kind of thing came to your Xia Kingdom and didn't have any impact on the garden?"
"Well, let's put it this way, the wild ones are extinct, and they are now cultivated artificially. Because the wild ones are not enough to eat." The thing Bai Hao was talking about is called ghost ginger in Jingzhao, also known as Jerusalem artichoke.
Vincent exclaimed: "I understand, I understand, if the delicious food is not enough, it must be some kind of magical change caused by the water and soil in Xia Kingdom. I am not a botanist, but I believe it is definitely not what we have here.
That devil's grass, please pack it better, let's try it first with ten tons, how about it."
"Of course." Bai Hao would definitely agree to this.
"By the way, we Xia people pay attention to health preservation. The kind you want has been processed by us to diuretic, remove swelling, clear away heat and detoxify, and has a two-way regulation effect on blood sugar. Believe me, whether your blood sugar is high or low, eat this
They all have benefits. To put it more professionally, it regulates insulin."
Vincent couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? It's still a two-way adjustment."
"You can ask someone to test it. There is a special substance in this food, which is similar to insulin."
"I must try it."
Vincent is really concerned about it. Because their sugar intake is too high, everyone will have high blood sugar.
Bai Hao then said: "Vinsen, I want to ask you something. Have you noticed that some of the products in our Wowoma branches in Pan Yingguo are seriously unsaleable?"
"Well, that's the case. We've arranged for people from the headquarters to go over and conduct market research."
Bai Hao smiled: "Because it's my product, the socks, I only sell them for one dollar or two dollars."
What, a dollar is so expensive?
Vincent didn't believe Bai Hao's words at all.
"No way, one dollar is not competitive. Could it be that your socks are very, very good, or are there something unique about them?"
Bai Hao confidently told Vincent
"No, I'm talking about $1 a dozen, pure cotton socks. So, it's other stores that have squeezed out your Wowoma sales."
Vincent replied: "Please wait a moment and don't hang up the phone."
Vincent went to ask someone, and soon came back and picked up the phone: "One US dollar is not even enough to pay the workers for a dozen socks, let alone the factory equipment and the cost of sales."
