Chapter 284 Standard Parts Distribution Center
After crossing into this world, Feng Xiaochen has never been to Jinnan, although in the previous life, he knew that Jinnan was an area with a strong business atmosphere, but he had no feeling at all about what Jinnan was like at the moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Coming out of Hoi An, Feng Xiaochen got on a long-distance bus and headed for Jinnan. In fact, Ruan Fugen also proposed to find a car to send Feng Xiaochen directly to Jinnan, but Feng Xiaochen refused. He felt that he was still young, and it didn't hurt to take a long-distance bus, so he didn't need to trouble Ruan Fugen.
Feng Xiaochen's long-distance bus was from Jianlu to Jinnan. When Feng Xiaochen got on the car, he was taken aback, only to see that the car was crowded, full of all kinds of sacks, cardboard boxes, etc., and the passengers were like accessories, so they could only find a gap in the gap between these goods. With the help of the flight attendants, Feng Xiaochen found a place to sit, which was in the aisle between the seats on both sides, and under the buttocks were three stacked cardboard boxes. Because the cardboard box itself was stacked relatively high, Feng Xiaochen sat on it, and he had to hunch his waist a little to avoid his head hitting the roof of the car.
"This won't sit badly, will it?" Feng Xiaochen asked the flight attendant worriedly as he sat down cautiously.
"It's not bad to sit, it's all iron. A man next to him replied. He sat in his seat, but he had a box under his buttocks, and he was holding a large travel bag in his hand, covering his face. Feng Xiaochen almost didn't recognize that there was a big living person just now.
"Why are there so many things in this car?" Feng Xiaochen asked in surprise.
The man smiled and said, "Brother, it's the first time you're going to Jinnan, right? Our Jinnan's goods are all transported like this, and when you come back from shopping, you have to come out like this." ”
"What do you mean?" Feng Xiaochen was even more puzzled, "Also, why do you think that I went to Jinnan to do procurement?"
"If you don't do procurement, what are you doing in Jinnan?" the man asked puzzled.
Feng Xiaochen said: "Can't I go to visit relatives and friends? I have a friend in Jinnan, I'll go see him." ”
"Oh, I see. The man suddenly realized.
The car started moving, staggering out of the bus station and heading for the road to Jinnan. The car was so overloaded that the speed of the car could not be raised, and the driver pressed the accelerator desperately, causing the engine to emit a palpitating gasp. Most of the forty or fifty passengers in the car were men, and as soon as the car got on the road, everyone took out cigarettes to smoke, and at the same time chatted loudly in the Haifang dialect, Feng Xiaochen only felt that there was smoke in front of him, and in his ears was a hoarse and mocking local voice, and he didn't know what they were talking about.
The road was full of potholes, the car was like a small boat churning in the waves, undulating, Feng Xiaochen's head had a warm intimate contact with the roof of the car from time to time, and every collision made him worry about the rapid loss of IQ. If he hits it like this, when he arrives in Jinnan, he will probably be a fool.
"Brother, why are you pulling things back in big bags and small bags, what kind of goods are these?"
Anyway, he was bored from sitting, so Feng Xiaochen accosted the man sitting next to him.
"Since you have a friend in Jinnan, don't you know what's going on with Jinnan?" the man asked, "What is your friend doing?"
"He opened a shop and sold bearings, so he is still a little famous in your Jinnan. Feng Xiaochen said.
"Who sells bearings?" asked the man, "maybe I know you." ”
Feng Xiaochen asked rhetorically: "Are there a lot of people selling bearings in Jinnan?"
The man smiled: "Of course there are many, at least forty or fifty stores." You see the leper sitting in front of him, his family sells bearings. No, the few boxes of goods he did this time were all imported from Jianlu's Haidong Bearing Factory. ”
"What about you, what are you selling?" Feng Xiaochen asked curiously.
"Ah, it's the connector you sit under your ass and use in the factory. The man said, he pointed to the people around him, and continued, "Now our Jinnan is a well-known standard parts distribution center in the country, and all provinces in the country have come to our Jinnan to purchase standard parts. However, there is a division of labor on what kind of things to sell. Like I sell connectors, I am in Songqiang County, gears are in Pingji County, bolts are in Xianghe County, your friend sells bearings, it must be in Shiyang County, right?"
"That's right, it's indeed in Shiyang County. Feng Xiaochen said with a smile, "He did it relatively early, and he started in Shiyang at the beginning." In order to sell bearings, he was almost arrested by the government this time last year. ”
"You can't be talking about Mr. Yao, right?" the man asked Feng Xiaochen with a solemn look on his face.
Feng Xiaochen said: "His name is Yao Weiqiang, do you mean Mr. Yao when you say him?"
"Oops, you turned out to be Mr. Yao's friend!" The expression on the man's face immediately became brilliant and colorful, he let go of the hand holding the travel bag, groped out a pack of big front door cigarettes in his pocket, and said apologetic words such as disrespect and clumsiness in his mouth.
Feng Xiaochen confused him, and after finally declining the other party's kindness, Feng Xiaochen asked, "What, brother, is Lao Yao very famous in your Jinnan?"
"Why is there no name!" The man patted his thigh and said, "We Jinnan can have today, it is all thanks to Mr. Yao, he is now the commander-in-chief of our Jinnan merchants, no, no, I mean, he is our leader!"
This man was originally a talkative person, and when he heard that Feng Xiaochen was Yao Weiqiang's friend, his interest in talking was even higher. Feng Xiaochen didn't know much about Yao Weiqiang's situation, he only talked on the phone occasionally, and he couldn't say much on the phone. Taking this opportunity, he began to ask the man about the situation of Yao Weiqiang and Jin Nan, and the man also knew everything, although what he said had a three-to-five deductive color, but it could still reflect some of the situation.
It turned out that after Feng Xiaochen asked Peiman to go to Jinnan to help Yao Weiqiang sing a double reed last year, the restrictions on Yao Weiqiang and some other "kings" in Jinnan were lifted. With the help of the government, Yao Weiqiang set up a Sino-German joint venture Philo (Jinnan) bearing distribution company, purchasing bearings from bearing factories around the country and selling them in his own stores.
Due to his complete range of goods, some very unpopular bearing varieties can also be provided, and industrial enterprises all over the country like to come to him for distribution. In the original, some enterprises need to use dozens of different bearings in production, buyers have to run several provinces, find seven or eight enterprises to match, now as long as you find Yao Weiqiang this store, you can achieve "one-stop distribution", even if you can not do 100% to meet the needs, at least you can match seven or eight percent, to save a lot of time and travel costs for buyers.
Seeing that Yao Weiqiang's business was doing well, some small bosses next to him began to itch, so they imitated Yao Weiqiang's appearance and also started a bearing business. Jinnan people are probably born with business genes, and everyone knows how to do business. These imitators will specifically study the bearing varieties sold by Yao Weiqiang, and then try to find some of the bearing varieties that Yao Weiqiang is missing, as their own characteristics, and then tie in the bearings of other big road goods.
As the man described to Feng Xiaochen, in just a few months, dozens of bearing distribution enterprises have appeared in Shiyang County, forming a well-known "bearing street" in China. These dealers have their own characteristics, some specialize in rolling bearings, some specialize in plain bearings, some do plastic bearings, and some make miniature bearings. In terms of grades, there are also differences, some stores insist on selling only high-end goods, pay attention to quality, and some stores specialize in selling cheap and low-quality bearings to meet the needs of some small enterprises in towns and towns to produce low-end industrial products.
The emergence of these imitators is not entirely a competition for Yao Weiqiang's Philo Bearing Company, but a certain complementarity. Although Yao Weiqiang is capable, but also can not do all kinds of domestic bearings to take over, especially from their own brand reputation, he can not distribute those low-end bearing products, and his neighbors can fill the gaps in these aspects, so as to complement each other.
As the bearing business in Shiyang County is getting bigger and bigger, the businesses in several surrounding counties have also moved their minds. They thought that those buyers who went to Shiyang to buy bearings may also have the need to purchase connectors, bolts, gears and other industrial standard parts, and the business of bearings has been done by Shiyang people, so can they make some fame on other industrial standard parts?
In Jinnan, in addition to Yao Weiqiang, the "bearing king", there were originally nine other "kings", all of which made a specific product. Driven by these people, several counties such as Songqiang, Pingji, and Xianghe have formed their own characteristic industries, and places such as Bolt Street and Gear Street have appeared. In this way, the entire Jinnan area has become the distribution center of industrial standard parts in the country, and it has also become a holy place for factory buyers.
"In the whole of Jinnan, at least 10,000 people are running in other places, purchasing all kinds of standard parts and transporting them to Jinnan. I'm not blowing it, except for those particularly large standard parts, which are not cost-effective for us to ship back and sell, other things, as long as they are available in China, can be found in Jinnan. The goods we have here are more complete than those of the Ministry of Materials. The man said with a smile on his eyebrows.
"You just said that Lao Yao is your commander-in-chief, what's the matter? He sells bearings, you sell connectors, do you have anything to do with it?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
Hearing Feng Xiaochen's question, the man lowered his voice, pretended to be mysterious, and said, "This matter has to start with what you said about Mr. Yao who was almost arrested by the government." Do you know why the government not only didn't arrest him, but also made him bigger in business?"
Feng Xiaochen said: "I heard Lao Yao talk about this, and I heard that he found a German company to have a joint venture with him, so the government opened up to him." ”
"But isn't it!" the man said, "Don't underestimate this background, be obedient, if you can find a German as a backer, then you have to do it? Now Yao is always a deputy to the people's congress of our Jinnan region, and what kind of model is getting rich, and his words are effective." ”
