According to the factory's production volume, 350,000 pieces was only the output of Huangshi Garment Factory No. 2 in one month, and this was still in the 1980s.
In modern times, this would be nothing. Some modern large-scale clothing processing factories can produce dozens or millions of pieces of clothing a day.
The people on Hanzheng Street were shocked because they had never been exposed to such a large quantity and amount of goods, and someone actually wanted to sell them to them.
Director Lu of the garment factory continued:
"The idea of our factory is to reduce the wholesale price by another 20%, which is basically the raw material price. If someone is willing to buy it and sell it, we will be responsible for delivering it to your door. I don't know if anyone is willing to eat this batch of goods.
?”
After speaking, Director Lu glanced at the merchants on Hanzheng Street.
The merchants sitting under the stage were either dumbfounded or shaking their heads. To them, this batch of children's clothing was indeed profitable, but the amount was too large, far beyond their scope of strength. More than one million, which sounds like a profit.
Scary.
"If we buy dozens or hundreds of pieces, who can afford more than 300,000 pieces?" someone in the crowd said.
"Yes, more than one million, it makes my head spin."
"Those of us who sell needles, threads, and brains usually only buy a little of each item. We don't dare to buy too much of the same goods for fear of getting them in our hands. The things the leaders brought today are so large that it's hard to eat them.
ah."
"I'm a lace seller, and I want to get closer to the jacquard fabric, but I don't want much, just a few hundred meters is enough. I'm afraid the leaders will look down on me." A middle-aged woman said sarcastically.
Nowadays, the merchants on Hanzheng Street have basically not broken away from the mindset of small traders. They have little access to information and have little courage. Now that they are dumping such a large amount of goods, many people are frightened at once.
But Lin Yi can also understand them. After all, this is the business they live in, and there can be no mistakes. If there are mistakes in state-owned factories and state-owned stores, the state will naturally be responsible for them, and at worst, they will become inventory.
But what about them?
Once a decision is made incorrectly, the result will be bankruptcy or even high debt.
So being cautious is the most normal reaction.
Several factory directors on the rostrum were a little disappointed when they saw the reaction of the merchants on Hanzheng Street. It seemed that there was no hope for them.
Director Zheng looked at the several factory directors, then at the merchants on Hanzheng Street below the stage, and said, "Today is just a briefing meeting. There is no need to order here. Everyone can go back and think about it and study it.
If you have any needs and want to do any business, you can come to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau can help you contact them."
The meeting broke up,
The merchants on Hanzheng Street walked out of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and gathered together in twos and threes to discuss whether there was anything good to do here.
Lin Yi did not follow the crowd and left. He stood under a tree and lit a cigarette. He wanted to think about it. After finishing the cigarette, Lin Yi's idea was roughly formed. He threw away the cigarette butt and turned around to go back to the industry and commerce.
Bureau.
...
Director Zheng's Office.
Director Zheng and several factory directors took their seats respectively. The clerk poured tea for several factory directors. One factory director said:
"Actually, I didn't have high hopes at the beginning. I've also heard that Hanzheng Street can indeed enrich people's lives, but the scale is too small and the effect is very small. The amount of goods we have in the backlog is already scary.
They are gone."
Another factory director said:
"Originally, it was just a try. It doesn't matter whether it works or not. The biggest problem now is that we can't sell any of our current goods. The more we produce, the more we have a backlog. But what if we don't produce? Let the workers take a holiday. That's even worse. I'm worried.
In the future, the leaders of the Light Industry Department are also worried about this problem, so let us take a closer look and find a way out for the factory."
"It's so easy to find a new way out."
"It's difficult, but it's difficult to find it."
Bang bang bang~!
While several people were chatting, there was a knock on the door of Director Zheng's office.
"Come in".
The door opened and Lin Yi appeared at the door.
"Hello, Director Zheng."
"Ah, it's Xiao Lin, come in." Director Zheng said with a smile.
He stood up and said to several factory directors: "Let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Lin Yi from Hanzheng Street. He is the largest taxpayer in our Hanzheng Street. The tax amount last month exceeded 1,000 yuan."
Paying taxes is an honor.
Tax evasion is shameful.
Several factory managers nodded to Lin Yi.
After Director Zheng finished the introduction, he looked at Lin Yi and asked, "Xiao Lin, what do you want from me?"
"That's it. After the meeting just now, I have some ideas in my mind. I want to report it to Director Zheng, and I also want to talk to several factory directors. I just don't know if the leaders are willing to listen to my ideas." Lin Yi
He said in a humble tone.
Director Zheng became interested,
"Oh, what do you think? Sit down, sit down and tell me, we want to hear the merchants' thoughts now." Director Zheng enthusiastically asked Lin Yi to sit down.
Lin Yi first looked at Director Wang of Suizhou Flintstone Factory, "Director Wang, I would like to ask, to whom did you mainly sell the flints you made before?"
"Mainly sold to lighter factories." Director Wang replied.
"It's supposed to be a quantitative production, so why is there a backlog?" Lin Yi continued to ask.
"Because the lighter factory also has a backlog of products, it affects us."
Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Director Wang, I was in the conference room just now. After listening to your speech, I had an idea in my mind. To be honest, no matter how many tons of flint and steel you have in stock in your factory,
It’s hard to sell anywhere.”
"The use of flints is too narrow, almost only for lighters, and flints are also very durable. A flint can be used in a lighter for at least three to four months, or more for a year. The one that costs two cents can last a lifetime.
It’s really hard to sell it on the market.”
Director Wang frowned, "What does Comrade Xiaolin mean?"
"I thought at that time that there was a backlog of flint and steel, and 80% of the lighters were also backlogged. People would not buy flint and steel easily, but some people would buy lighters. Director Wang, let me give you a suggestion, use the flint and steel in your hand.
, exchange a batch of lighters from the lighter factory, I believe they will be sold in Hanzheng Street."
Factory Director Wang's frown suddenly relaxed, and his eyes flashed with light, "Do you think it's appropriate to change to a lighter?"
"Definitely suitable."
"The lighter factory still owes us more than 100,000 yuan in payment. Although they have a backlog, the lighter factory is still producing, but the sales volume is smaller. I think they are willing to exchange the backlog of flints for lighters."
Having said this, Factory Director Wang looked at Lin Yi and said, "Comrade Xiao Lin, are you willing to take over the replaced lighter?"
Lin Yi smiled and said,
"Yes, but it depends on the price, and you know we are all operating on a small scale, so it is impossible to spend so much money at once. My idea is to sell on a consignment basis."
"What's the consignment sales method?" Factory Director Wang asked.
"You just give me the lowest price, I'll take the goods and sell them, and I'll give you the payment after the goods are sold," Lin Yi said.
Factory Manager Wang looked at Lin Yi and said, "Xiao Lin, you are planning to do a business without capital. The risks are all mine. If you make money, you will share the profits. This is not okay."
"We have also put in our efforts." Lin Yi said.
"Then I can't do it for anyone." Director Wang said.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "You can do whatever you want. I'm just giving you an idea. Of course I won't object if you find someone else to do it."
Several factory managers looked at Lin Yi and found that Lin Yi had a blank expression on his face. They thought to themselves that this young man has a good heart and he had a good idea. He was not upset if Lao Wang said he would not take him with him.
Factory Director Wang looked at Lin Yi and said,
Laughed.
"I'm not an unscrupulous person. This good idea came from you. If I found someone else, some people would probably look down on me. OK, I'll go back to Lao Liu from the lighter factory to discuss the exchange.
"
“As for the price…”
Just as Director Wang was about to continue, Director Ma of the Oilcloth Umbrella Factory interrupted him, "Old Wang, you can discuss the price later. Xiao Lin just said that he also has something to say to us, right Xiao Lin?"
Director Ma looked at Lin Yi and asked.
Lin Yi smiled and nodded.
"Xiao Lin, do you have any thoughts on the unsaleable sales of our oilcloth umbrellas?" Director Ma looked at Lin Yi eagerly, hoping that Lin Yi would also give him a good idea.
Lin Yidao: "Director Ma, you may not like to hear what I'm going to say next."
Director Ma was stunned.
"Just tell me, there's nothing you don't like to hear, as long as it can solve the problem."
