Chapter 98 (76) Chen Baoshan

Junichi Hanazawa, 50 years old, is the youngest current director of To-Shiba

On January 28, 1984, at 9 a.m., Nick met the young executive director

Although he is fifty years old, he does not look like he is in a bit fat and is not unhealthy and thin, but a healthy and well-proportioned body with regular exercise

Nick and Hanazawa exchanged pleasantries, then shook hands amicably

Nick felt Junichi Hanazawa's abundant hand, and knew that his previous judgment was correct, this director was indeed in great health, and looking at his expression, he seemed to be an enterprising person

However, Nick didn't start this topic, he got straight to the point, "Mr. Junichi Hanazawa, Huaxia Factory still wants to introduce a few more LCD panel production lines"

"Isn't one production line enough?" said Junichi Hanazawa with exaggerated surprise, "I didn't expect China's development to be really surprising."

Nick took out a "Catch" from his pocket, handed it to Junichi Hanazawa and said, "This is our product, it is now being sold in Japan, with an average sales volume of nearly 1,000 units per day, and we think that if it can be rolled out in the Japanese market, it will have better sales performance."

If To-Shiba can sell the new production line to Huaxia Factory, Huaxia Factory is willing to authorize To-Shiba to produce 'game watches' as you like?"

"This is your product" Junichi Hanazawa took over "Catch the Ball", rummaged through and found the boot button, and turned on the game console "I heard that recently in Akihabara, there is a new style of electronic toys that sell very well, I didn't expect it to be a product of your Huaxia factory, but I saw the trademark of your Huaxia factory"

Nick replied, "This is indeed a product of our Huaxia factory, there is no trademark because our Huaxia factory has just decided what the trademark looks like, you know this machine when you submit a registration application, and naturally you know that this machine has been selling well recently."

"It's not bad," Hanazawa nodded

Don't look at the big manufacturers, it seems that they are far away from ordinary consumers and not down-to-earth, but they are extremely concerned about the products within the scope of their business, and they can quickly feedback to the corresponding middle and senior leaders

For example, "Catch the Ball" began to be sold in Akihabara on January 21, and on the evening of January 21, major electronics manufacturers were given detailed information and samples of the new product

However, although the news was received quickly, no major manufacturer decided to make a similar product immediately

Because, in just one day, the sales of more than 400 units do not mean anything, although this electronic small toy seems to represent another application of this kind of technology in addition to electronic watches and electronic calculators, but without careful investigation and research, no one will confirm how large the capacity of this market is, and how many units can be sold

If the project is launched, the production line is debugged, and the product comes out, but it can't be sold, then who is responsible for this pot

You must know that large enterprises have complex political struggles, and it does not mean that if my heart is good, everything will be fine, and no one will be held accountable

In large enterprises, people can eat people, so there are some employees who choose not to do well, and I will not make mistakes if I don't do anything

Junichi Hanazawa thought about it for a while, and there was no affirmation or denial, whether he was involved in the manufacture of game watches

He said, "The new LCD production line can be sold to Huaxia, and if the money is not enough, you can find a way, and the Ministry of Finance also has an interest-free aid loan for China, so you can fight for your 'game watch', To-Shiba has no relevant ideas for the time being."

……

Nick talked to Junichi Hanazawa for a while

At ten o'clock, Junichi Hanazawa said that he had a meeting and sent Nick out of the office

Although Yu Tiecheng's strategy of exchanging the market for technology did not work, Nick did not expect that Junichi Hanazawa would be so neat that he could sell LCD production lines

It was supposed to be so easy to get a deal, but Nick always felt that something wasn't right

Yu Sheng sat in a freight car with his father Yu Tiecheng, and in the back of the warehouse, in addition to the cash withdrawn from the bank, there were five militiamen with loaded guns

There is a militia platoon in the Huaxia factory, and the militia platoon has three squads of ten people in each squad, with a total number of thirty people

These 30 people were responsible for the day-to-day security work of the Huaxia Factory, and each of them had a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle

Even if you count the stabs, the weight of this gun is still not high, and the only drawback is that the recoil is large, and it is difficult to hit the target without the support of a huge amount of training

Don't look at the five militiamen guarding a small safe, but the money in the safe is not much, only more than 40,000 yuan in total

The more than 40,000 yuan was the first money remitted from Japan

On the first day in Akihabara, Nick received a total of more than 10 million yen, and the payment of more than 40,000 US dollars was withheld by Japan's Huaxia Commercial Co., Ltd. as operating funds, and the rest of the money was divided into two parts, one was deposited in an overseas account, and the other was remitted to the account of Huaxia Factory, which became more than 40,000 yuan after compulsory exchange

If you look at the more than 40,000 yuan in 1984, it is actually not a small amount to know, even in the 90s, some people still used the word 10,000 yuan to describe the family's wealth

However, the more than 40,000 yuan is not too much when placed on the Huaxia factory

The Huaxia factory now has 658 employees, and because of the presence of many technicians, the average salary has reached the level of 40 yuan

Coupled with some employee benefits and insurance, the monthly expenditure in this area is a total of 30,000 yuan

In addition to the wages of workers, there are also the purchase of goods, the repayment of loans, and the cost of wear and tear repair of daily wear and tear of equipment

In total, the lowest operating cost for a month is about 650,000

Although the workers on the production line are already very skilled, they produce continuously in three shifts 24 hours a day, and the speed of manufacturing "Catch the Ball" has reached the level of about 830 units per day

Excluding one day off a week, about 5,000 gaming watches are manufactured every week, and about 20,000 are manufactured a month

1,000 game watches can bring more than 40,000 yuan of income to Huaxia Factory, and 20,000 units a month is about 800,000 yuan

The minimum operating cost is 650,000 yuan a month, and the income is about 800,000 yuan, and the monthly balance of Huaxia factory fluctuates around 150,000 yuan

This is still in the case of preferential policies, tax reductions and exemptions, and export tax rebates

If the Huaxia factory is still like before the change, facing the domestic production of machinery and agricultural machinery, although the expenditure on research and development is almost zero, but it will also be like a few nearby brother factories half-dead, the best result is to barely reach the balance of payments

Not to mention the surplus, it is estimated that without the financial support of the local government, it is estimated that it will be difficult to even pay wages to workers

"I'm going to the provincial capital in the afternoon, and for the rest of your life, you accompany the cashier to get the accounts of this month right, see how much balance there is, and set a bonus standard for the New Year, so that the people in the factory have money to have a good year," Yu Tiecheng instructed

He got off the truck at the gate of the Huaxia factory, got into an old jeep, and immediately rushed to the provincial capital

The rest of my life knew that my dad was going to run the matter of introducing a new LCD production line

I hope it will succeed, Nick is gradually opening up the situation in Japan, if the production capacity does not come up, then other manufacturers, seeing that the game watch is selling well, will be like seeing a shark with the smell of blood, and wipe out this market

Although the day-to-day production is done by ordinary workers, at certain times, the importance of accountants and cashiers is much higher than that of ordinary workers

They are all in charge of the accounts of a company, and Nick once told the story of an accountant in the United States who made false accounts and bankrupted a normally operating company

Of course, that was a long time ago, and Nick was hearsay, and he wasn't even born when it happened

Later, with the increasing sound business society in the United States and the emergence of supporting service companies, many companies outsourced the company's accounting matters to the corresponding companies in order to reduce costs and security considerations

In the 80s, China's commodity economy was just starting, and of course there would be no such supporting service companies, and even if there were, no one would dare to use them

Therefore, large and small companies have their own financial teams, such as Huaxia Factory, such a small factory with less than 700 people, and there are five financial personnel in the financial room

In those days, there were no money counting machines, but the financial staff were professional humanoid money counters

In front of Yu Sheng's eyes was a financial aunt in her thirties, I saw her holding a pile of money in her left hand, twisting a slight arc, and with a thumb of her head, the money automatically popped away

It was only less than half a minute, and before the rest of his life could react to what was going on, the more than 40,000 yuan had already been counted

It took dozens of seconds for the financial aunt to confirm it again before writing down a string of numbers on the ledger

Yu Sheng saw that she was busy before saying, "Aunt Zhang, please make a list of surpluses, it's almost the New Year, see how much money is left in the account, so that you can arrange benefits."

"Well, okay, the accounts of the past few months are not good, I estimate that there are more than one million cash left in the account," Aunt Zhang said as she went to get the corresponding account book

Women are easy to get rich after giving birth, and Aunt Zhang, the director of the finance office, is also in this situation, and he said that when he was a child, Aunt Zhang in the finance room was the factory flower in the factory

How could it be that the years were a pig-killing knife, and when he came to Qingtai for the rest of his life, the Aunt Zhang he saw was the one in front of him

However, from her six-year-old daughter, she can still vaguely see what she looked like back then

Several people in the finance room were busy together, and after about half an hour, they sorted out the remaining cash in addition to the Huaxia factory

"The total balance of cash and deposits, 1,076,832 yuan, nine cents and one cent," Aunt Zhang said, "The deposit of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is 200,000 yuan, the deposit of the China Construction Bank is 300,000 yuan, the deposit of the Agricultural Bank of China is 25 yuan, and the rest is the cash left in the factory."

"How much money is there for this," Yu Sheng asked

"If it is deposited in the bank, the factory director said that it is better not to use it, and the cash in the factory must be left with 200,000 yuan, and there is a total of 120,000 yuan of movable money," Aunt Zhang said

Yu Sheng nodded to indicate that he knew, and he thought about how to use the 120,000

"Is 20,000 yuan enough to hold a New Year's party?" asked Yu Sheng

"Enough, enough, enough, enough, in fact, 10,000 yuan can be done well," Aunt Zhang said

"It's still calculated according to the standard of 20,000 yuan, and then the rest of the money for each person, a box of apples, a box of oranges, and a bonus for everyone according to the standard of three months' salary, is 120,000 yuan enough?"

There was no advanced electronic calculator in the financial room, and Aunt Zhang began to fiddle with the abacus after listening to the words of the rest of her life

She danced nimbly on the abacus with one hand, and looked at the ledger with the other hand

"If you buy apples from Guoguang and oranges from Quzhou, it is estimated that one person will only have ten yuan."

"Guoguang's apples are too sour, aunt, you calculate how much it costs if you buy the best fruit, since we want to send it, we will send the best"

"Well, buy it. www.biquge.info"Aunt Zhang responded, but at the same time, she was a little eager to say something.

The rest of my life looked at Aunt Zhang's appearance and knew what she was thinking.

Large-scale procurement, which has always been greasy, low-priced goods, is a common means and phenomenon to make high prices in the accounts.

Take the purchase money of 20,000 yuan as an example, buying 10,000 yuan of things and keeping 10,000 commissions is not considered black.

As an old accountant, Aunt Zhang used her rich experience to estimate a little, and if she was ruthless, she could even leave fifteen or seventeen thousand.

Of course, this money is not only taken by the person in charge of procurement, but also needs to be taken care of up and down. This will probably cost about 10,000. The purchaser himself can leave 5,700.

In addition to the fact that the products could not be sold, there was another reason, that is, the purchase cost was too high.

Now Huaxia Factory has not encountered these problems, largely because all matters related to procurement are handled by Yu Tiecheng.

Maybe in the past, when the state was running, the factory was not its own, and the factory director was too lazy to care about this, and he was a little tired, and he could get some "commissions" more or less.

But now that the Huaxia factory has become Yu Tiecheng's own industry, the situation has changed a lot. The original messy unspoken rules were all cleaned up with those messy people.

If the entire Huaxia factory is thriving now, the average salary level of workers is increasing. The income of the accounting room can be described as a cliff-like decline.

Aunt Zhang just heard that she was going to buy it for the rest of her life, thinking that he was going to spend more money under this name as before.

She wanted to speak and stopped, and if she wanted to say it, she guessed that she didn't eat alone, and shared her own part. She didn't dare to say it, first, she was young and vigorous for the rest of her life, and she might be annoyed and angry if she exposed it to her face, and second, he was the son of the factory director, and it would be troublesome for her to open his mouth to pass it on to the factory director.

Yu Sheng smiled and said, "Auntie, you misunderstood me, you really bought it." You said that this factory is now my father's, should I dig the corner of my house? ”

Aunt Zhang smiled slightly awkwardly and stopped talking.

Next, Yu Sheng signed and drew a pledge, took out a note written by his father, and proposed 20,000 yuan.

Out of the finance room, the next place to go is the transport team.

The daily task of the transportation team is not only to transport the produced products from the Huaxia factory to Qingtai port, but also to transport the raw materials from the railway station and port back to the Huaxia factory.

The captain of the transport team is Chen Jinnan's father, Chen Baoshan.

Chen Baoshan is in his forties this year, and his figure is the same as Chen Jinnan, and he is powerful. And because he is a truck driver, he has a very hot temper.

There happened to be no transport business today, and he was in the truck driver's lounge.

Yu Sheng entered the lounge and saw Chen Baoshan smoking, and shouted enthusiastically, "Uncle Chen." ”

Chen Baoshan turned his head and said angrily when he saw the rest of his life, "The factory director's boy, what are you doing here today?" If you're looking for my boy, he should be in the workshop right now. ”

"I'm not looking for eight feet, I'm looking for you." Yu Sheng said.

"What are you kid looking for me? What's the matter? Chen Baoshan asked with a flick of the cigarette ash.

"Uncle, do you know how to wholesale fruits? Isn't it almost the New Year, and the factory is ready to wholesale some fruit for the year. Yu Sheng said.

"Hmm...... Then you have to go to the provincial city fruit cellar, and it will be a day smaller to go back and forth, when will you go? Chen Baoshan asked.

"Today, can you leave now?" Yu Sheng asked.

"You can walk, you can walk. It's twelve o'clock at noon, and it's been more than four hours to arrive. It's the middle of the night when you come back, why don't you ask the factory director? Chen Baoshan said.

"No need to ask, let's go now. It's good to finish things early, there are many long nights and dreams in the province, and there is nothing to delay. Yu Sheng said.

In '84, China was a princely economy with serious local trade barriers. During this time, if the relevant approvals are not obtained, it is a crime to transport goods across provinces, and they will be imprisoned for the crime of speculation.

If China before reform, reform, opening-up, and liberalization was a conservative China, then China after reform and opening up is a China that is wild, wild, and full of demons dancing wildly.

During this period, the laws and regulations on business lagged behind and were far from keeping up with the pace of social development.

Cats have cats, road mice, and rats, and black cats and white cats do their best. This is an era of opportunity, but also an era of extreme chaos without order.

After finishing the registration, Chen Baoshan got into his big truck.

In this era, whether it is a car driver, a truck driver, or a train driver, it is considered a skilled job, and it is easy to find a job for a daughter-in-law.

Because in this era, there are not only few cars, but also various problems. Learning to drive is not only about driving, but also about repairing cars. Otherwise, the car broke down halfway, and it would be difficult to find a living person, let alone find someone to repair the car.

The car driven by Chen Baoshan is a Jiefang brand truck that has been in service for 10 years.

For the rest of his life, I heard Chen Baoshan say that this old guy is much more reliable than the liberation of the new production now. However, the rest of the soldiers did not feel it. He only found the sound of the diesel engine "Gada, Gada" a little annoying.

From Qingtai to the provincial capital, the road is in good condition, although it is not guaranteed that all the way is a cement slab oil road, but even if it is a dirt road, there are not many potholes.

On the way to the beginning of the truck, in addition to saying a few words to Chen Baoshan from time to time, the rest of his life was more often looking at the scenery on the side of the road.

Farmland in winter, covered with a thin layer of snow. Shanqi Province, don't look at the name of the province There is a mountain, but there are few mountains in the province. Looking at the past is very imposing.

Despite the beauty of the mountains and rivers, the villages next to the farmland look poor and backward. Bright brick houses are in twos and threes, and low thatched adobe houses are one by one.

Yu Sheng has been running around with his father Yu Tiecheng all over the country since he was a child, and he knows how big China is, how many people there are, and how big the gap in life is.

The best living conditions in the rest of my life memory were in the military district compound. There is an attached elementary school, an attached cultural square, and an attached cinema, so it is not difficult to eat a meal of meat.

At that time, when he was young, he thought that life in China was like this. Therefore, he always wondered what his grandfather meant by "China is very poor and backward". Is this kind of life considered poor and backward? What should an advanced, rich country look like?

Until he left the military district with his father and went to a small border town. Riding a slow green train through most of China.

Seeing the high mountains, the wide rivers, and all kinds of people, I knew what the poverty and backwardness in my grandfather's mouth meant.

He never imagined that there would be people walking outside the house without shoes, children without clothes, and families with only a good pair of pants.

He couldn't believe that all this was real, but all this did not allow him not to believe it.

At a young age, he was born at that time with the desire to persevere for more than ten years - to let more people live a better life. (To be continued.) )
