Chapter 88: Wu Jiming's Visit

After Lin Hui came out of the big draw, he stayed in Gaoqiao Town in the countryside, and managed the waste electrical appliance sorting yard with Cao Zhiping wholeheartedly. （）

Since Wu Jiming contacted Lin Hui and them, he came to look for them in the first two days. Lin Hui also got the exact news from the second brother Lin Feng, the Fengcheng City Government will carry out a major rectification of the waste electrical appliance processing industry in Shitang Town in the second half of the year, and now is a good time to cut in, so he made an appointment with Wu Jiming to come to Guangzhou to discuss with the eldest brother Lin Qiang in person.

In the afternoon of this day, Wu Jiming drove a black Mercedes-Benz and came to the Chaopai Colored Sculpture Company under the guidance of Lin Hui.

Cao Zhiping and Wu Jiming came to Lin Qiang's company for the first time, and Wu Jiming only heard of Lin Qiang's name and did not see him.

"Hello Senior Brother Lin. I have admired the name for a long time, and today I have the opportunity to see the demeanor of my senior brother, and I hope to give me more advice. Wu Jiming held Lin Qiang's hand and said.

"Boss Wu is polite. Listening to Ah Hui and Zhiping, Boss Wu is a great success, and I, the senior brother, have to learn from you. Come, come, let's go to the office on the second floor for tea. Lin Qiang said.

When passing through the exhibition hall on the first floor, Wu Jiming was immediately attracted by those exquisite colored carving background walls, "Senior Brother Lin, it turns out that your company is doing colored carvings?" Wu Jiming has been making porcelain sand for many years, and is very familiar with those large ceramic factories, and has close ties with those building materials dealers in Fengcheng City, so he naturally has an understanding of this kind of colored carving background wall.

"Yes, we are a professional manufacturer. Lin Qiang said while taking everyone to visit the exhibition hall.

"That's a coincidence. I have a few friends who are in the ceramics business, and a few days ago they talked about this new type of product, but I didn't expect Brother Lin's company to produce this kind of product. Wu Jiming said excitedly.

Lin Qiang: "Our company is vigorously exploring the market of large cities in China, and has developed dozens of franchised dealers. But I haven't had time to open up the market in those third- and fourth-tier cities, like Fengcheng City has not yet had our company's franchisees, I already have a plan, and in the second half of the year, we will arrange manpower to enter Fengcheng, and then I will have to introduce more to Boss Wu. ”

Wu Jiming: "Senior brother, don't call me boss anymore, call me Ming Tsaixing." Not to mention, my friends who make building materials are very interested in this kind of colored carved background wall, and they also asked me if I know the manufacturer. By the way, senior brother, how is the output of your company?"

Lin Qiang: "The current monthly factory volume is about 6,000 square meters, and the second half of the year plans to expand to a monthly output of more than 10,000 square meters. ”

Wu Jiming nodded while listening, and after coming to the office on the second floor and sitting down, he said to Lin Qiang excitedly: "Senior brother, it seems that we also have the opportunity to cooperate." Which one are you using tiles now?"

"Minimalist matte all-over bricks. Do you have any business dealings with this manufacturer?" Lin Qiang many years ago when he was dealing in ceramics, he had obtained a large number of high-quality tiles below the factory price through several porcelain sand bosses at that time.

Lin Qiang knew many years ago that the bosses who made porcelain sand had a large amount of money dragged in the ceramic factory, and many bosses had to take the goods from the ceramic factory to offset the account, and then resell them to those ceramic shops at a low price to cash out.

"Brother Qiang, it is clear that we are the biggest porcelain sand boss there, and we have business with all the ceramic factories in Fengcheng, so it is most suitable for you to ask him for affordable tiles. Cao Zhiping said.

Lin Qiang also has a considerable understanding of the existing ceramic industry in Fengcheng.

Originally, most of the ceramic factories in Guangdong Province were gathered in Foshan, since Foshan started the industrial upgrading, it gradually moved the ceramic factory to the relatively backward economy in northern Guangdong, and Fengcheng City at the beginning of the new millennium, because of the needs of economic development, from 2002 began to vigorously introduce architectural ceramics enterprises, and gradually became one of the pillar industries of Fengcheng City.

Now mainly distributed in Fengcheng City, Qingcheng District, Yuantan Town and Qingqing District Heyun Town, a total of more than 30, its Yuantan Town along the Qingfo Highway distributed more than 10, including Dongpeng, Mona Lisa, Hongyu, Yuan and other national top ten ceramic brand enterprises subsidiary, engaged in the lowest end of the firing production link.

At the beginning, Foshan's ceramic enterprises decided to move to Fengcheng, in addition to Fengcheng's warm invitation, and to see Fengcheng's relatively cheap labor and greatly preferential tax policies at that time, but also because Fengcheng is the largest producer of ceramic raw materials in the province, convenient materials, greatly saving the cost of raw materials.

At that time, the industrial structure supported by the "three high" industries such as ceramic manufacturing, cement manufacturing, and scrap metal processing with high input, high pollution, and high energy consumption had injected a strong impetus into the economic development of Fengcheng City.

As a result, Fengcheng's environment has been heavily polluted, and it has been labeled as a "heavy acid rain" area, and since Guangdong announced the air quality of various cities, Fengcheng's ranking has been hovering downstream, sometimes even backwards. This surprised many people, why is the air quality in the back garden of Guangzhou not as good as the Pearl River Delta?

Those ceramic companies claimed to have achieved "clean production" when they moved, but Lin Qiang knew that it was pure nonsense. Every time he returned to his hometown, when he passed by Yuantan, he saw that the road was covered with a layer of white ash, the trees on both sides were dusty, and even the leaves were gray and white, which gave him the illusion that he was in Nanzhuang, Foshan (the first town of Guojian Tao) more than ten years ago.

He had heard a friend who worked in the Yuantan town government say that when a senior leader passed by, the town government had to clean the road in advance and bathe the trees on both sides of the road. Lin Qiang really can't understand how Fengcheng can build an "international tourist city" with the existing image of welcoming guests?

Now the ceramic enterprises in Fengcheng are engaged in the lowest end, the most polluted firing link, the added value is not high, the contribution to the local tax is not large, some ceramic enterprises one acre of land to Fengcheng local tax contribution is only 4000 yuan, it is better to let farmers plant sugar oranges. The total annual tax revenue of all ceramic enterprises is only about 80 million yuan, which is not enough to repair the roads that are crushed by overloaded trucks pulling tiles.

Fengcheng City Government has also begun to realize this, is introducing relevant policies, to catch up with the transformation and upgrading of ceramic enterprises, "to the heights", requiring ceramic enterprises to be able to headquarters research and development, marketing, process design, deep processing and other high value-added, high tax links to move over, in order to extend the industrial chain, increase the added value of the ceramic industry.

Now there is a strange phenomenon in the ceramic industry in Fengcheng, the production base is in Fengcheng, but the sales base is still in Foshan, ordinary customers in Fengcheng ceramic manufacturers can not buy ceramics, most of the manufacturers have not set up a sales department, even the product exhibition hall is not, only like Wu Jiming, these porcelain sand bosses, because they are the creditors of the ceramic factory, there is a way to directly open the bill of lading from the manufacturer.

Wu Jiming controls most of the porcelain sand supply in Yuantan Town, and is very familiar with almost all the leaders of the ceramic factory, but even so, due to the industry rules that have been inherited, he has been troubled by the porcelain sand arrears owed by the ceramic factory for many years, and has seriously affected the normal operation of many porcelain sand factories under his name.

When he heard that Lin Qiang's company consumes tens of millions of square meters of high-quality tiles every month, or the most high-end and expensive simple tiles on the market, he couldn't help but light up. Lin Qiang said that the kind of simple brand all-over tiles, now the market price per square meter of more than 150 yuan, if you can cooperate with Lin Qiang's company, you have almost nearly one million cash back every month.

Wu Jiming didn't expect to let himself encounter such a good thing by mistake, so he immediately thought about how to talk about cooperation with Lin Qiang.
