Chapter 64: Approval is stuck

The news that the No. 2 Electrical Appliance Factory was going to cooperate with Hong Kong businessmen to build electric fans was like pouring half a scoop of cold water on a boiling oil pot, and it suddenly exploded up and down the mall.

Although it has been several years since the reform and opening up, after all, Shannan is located inland and has always been closed and conservative, and this kind of cooperation is not a matter at all in the SEZs, and even the coastal provinces have already tried many things, but Shannan is undoubtedly the number one one, and it will inevitably cause many disputes among all parties.

But fortunately, this is not the first thing in Shannan to cooperate in investment, as early as last year, the problem of the joint venture photo studio has emerged, although it is now a year later, it is still in the discussion stage, but the province agrees to this cooperation in principle - the general environment needs it, but the concerns are not small, after all, the first bite of crab is not so delicious, the first case in Shannan always have to be cautious, so while agreeing, but delaying time, and look at the direction of the wind.

Who knew that at this juncture, the joint application report of the mall municipal party committee and municipal government was sent to the desk of the leaders of the provincial party committee, which made a group of provincial leaders feel very troubled - you must know that the situation of the second factory of the road electrical appliance is very different from that of the joint venture photo studio.

The plan for a joint venture photo studio was proposed by Hong Kong businessmen, and they took a fancy to the fact that there was no color photo studio in Shannan Province, and the blank market meant that there was money to be made.

But the situation of the second electrical appliance factory is different, the second electrical appliance factory is 400 employees are waiting for dinner, people are willing to cooperate, that is to help the second electrical appliance factory, help the business city, to put it bluntly, we are now asking for others. Of course, this "request" is not very urgent, after all, the burden of the second electrical appliance factory in the city has not been carried for a day or two, and the wages of hundreds of workers can still be paid.

Therefore, the leaders of the province have a headache, but they are not in a hurry, and they will study it slowly first.

The report of the municipal party committee and the municipal government of the mall hit the province but it was like a stone cow into the sea, only a few waves were splashed, up and down a discussion, and soon there was no news, Zhang Zhixing ran all over the municipal party committee and the municipal government and the relevant departments of the Second Light Bureau, the Foreign Trade Bureau, the Economic and Trade Commission, the Provincial International Trust and Investment Company and other relevant units, just to inquire about the situation, but there was no useful news at all, and he couldn't help but be anxious and helpless.

However, Zhang Zhixing also knew that it was useless to be in a hurry. According to the information Zhang Zhixing heard in the past few days, he learned that according to the "Law on Sino-Foreign Joint Ventures" promulgated in '79, the establishment of Sino-foreign joint ventures requires the consent of the state, provincial, and municipal governments, and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce must also issue business licenses. That is to say, even if the province agrees to cooperate, it will have to be reported to the Ministry of Economic and Trade and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, even if the approval speed is fast, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up with the sales season this summer - now it has been several days since May Day, you can wear single clothes during the day, and the peak season of fan sales is here in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Zhixing couldn't help but be a little frustrated.

Wu Tian's patience is only worse than that of his aunt. If the final approval of this project will not be until a year or two later, then we will still be a fart! You must know that Chang Tianhua finally sent a telegram back yesterday, reporting good news - the fan blade problem has been solved!

As early as the day after the contract plan was negotiated, Wu Tian assigned Chang Tianhua an important task, asking him to take a "huge amount of money" to the south to find fan blades.

Although the north is still relatively quiet in recent years, there are already many township enterprises in the south, including some small factories that produce electric fans - as long as someone can build it, we can naturally buy it back.

Wu Tianhua's task to Chang Tianhua is to go straight to the southern Jiangsu area, which is known as the cradle of township enterprises, and Wenzhou and other places that have just been arrested last year, to find township enterprises with the ability to mass-produce fan blades, directly negotiate a contract of 100,000 pieces, and give a deposit of 10,000 yuan, the other party will divide the goods, and the payment will be settled next time, and the first batch of only 1,000 pieces will be issued, which is enough to reassure the other party that he will not be deceived - the contract itself is signed in the name of the second state-owned electrical appliance factory. In addition, the cost of a fan blade is only a few yuan, and the payment for a thousand pieces is not as much as the deposit given by others!

Even if the conditions are set so generously, it took Chang Tianhua half a month to finally find a suitable supplier - after all, according to Wu Tian's requirements, the other party's production capacity should not be too low, otherwise once it enters the peak season of fan sales, the business will be on fire, but it will be a big trouble for the other party to not supply in time.

Seeing that Chang Tianhua and the other party have signed a contract, and the deposit of 10,000 yuan has been paid to others, the first batch of fan blades will arrive in the mall after a week, if this matter can not be approved all the time, we will have nothing to return - for this cooperation, Wu Tian has smashed all his belongings, including the opening of a shell company on Hong Kong Island, the deposit of fan fan blades, almost all the profits of the calligraphy business for more than two months have been smashed in, and the rest is no longer enough for the marketing budget of the next fan. As a last resort, Wu Tian decided to temporarily default on the printing costs of the copybook, and only looked forward to the daily sales flow to return a sum of money.

"Well, this time the sample is barely qualified, but this appearance is still a problem, and it needs to be changed again......"

In the office of the director of the second electrical appliance factory, Zhang Zhixing and Bai Jie, a "good representative of Hong Kong", sat on the coffee table, and there was an electric fan on the coffee table, which looked decent, with a metal base, a thin iron sheet beaten into a square pole, brushed with green paint, simple and solemn, and a "sense of the times".

"You kid is going to be nitpicky, what kind of vision? This is based on the appearance of the Great Wall brand! Zhang Zhixing glanced at Wu Tian dissatisfiedly and said.

In the past half a month, the fan sample has been overturned by Wu Tian three times, either the noise is too loud, or the wind speed is too small, or the function is not enough, to increase the wind speed gear, timing stop, etc., but also thanks to the factory several old engineers can endure the transformation and upgrading, the fourth sample came out, the factory is all deeply satisfied, the Hong Kong representative Bai Zong has also seen and praised, how to Wu Tian here to find fault again?

"What a short city of the Great Wall, it's too cheesy." Wu Tian said honestly and unceremoniously, raised his hand to press the switch, tried the wind feeling, the three gears were basically satisfied, and the timing function was also running normally, and then he picked up the fan and shook it from side to side, but it was very difficult.

"Oh, what are you doing? Don't get caught up in the electricity. Zhang Zhixing hurriedly shouted.

"Hehe, the problem is out, right? You're afraid I'll be electrocuted, so what's going on? Wu Tian said, "Well, add a side-down power-off function!" ”

"What's the power outage?" Zhang Zhixing said.

"That is, when the fan is placed upright, it will be powered on and rotate, and if it falls on its side, it will automatically turn off the power." Wu Tian said.

"Huh? So how to design? Zhang Zhixing said.

"You don't understand, ask the engineer." Wu Tiandao, "Well, in fact, it's simple, just get a small metal cylinder, put it between the two disconnected wires, and when the cylinder falls in a fixed position when it is upright, turn on the power, and the cylinder will automatically roll to the side after it falls on the side, and disconnect the electrode." ”

Wu Tian said as he gestured with his fingers. In fact, this scheme exists in many electrical appliances in later generations, and it is worthless to put it bluntly, but it is a good gimmick to add such a function to the product in these years.

"Heh, it's really simple......" Zhang Zhixing understood as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but point at his nephew and laugh.

"Also, this thing is too heavy!" Wu Tian provoked the problem again, "Just use a thin iron sheet." ”

"How's that going to work? If it's not strong, it's easy to break! Zhang Zhixing said.

"Bad? No matter how thin the iron sheet is, it will take several years to rust through, who will buy a fan and go home and play with it? Wu Tiandao, "Besides, how much does it cost you to use such a thick iron sheet?" ”

"But everyone else uses this kind of material in ......," Zhang Zhixing said.

"Don't compare with other big factories, how much do other people's things sell for?" Wu Tian said, "The product positioning is still based on what Aunt Bai said, right, Aunt Bai?" ”

Bai Jie smiled and said: "Director Zhang, what Xiaotian said makes sense, the price of our fans will definitely be much cheaper than that of large factories in the future, and it is better to control the cost as much as possible." ”

Zhang Zhixing nodded and said, "Well, that's okay, just do what you say." ”

Wu Tian threw away the fan and said, "Uncle, how are the preparations in the factory?" When will mass production be? ”

"The main problem is almost the same, after the sample is settled, mass production can be achieved in about a week." Zhang Zhixing said.

"Well, the fan blades will arrive in a week, uncle, hurry up, and try to officially start mass production in ten days." Wu Tian said in a firm tone.

"Huh? No, no, the province hasn't agreed to our cooperation plan yet. Zhang Zhixing said.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll figure it out, you just need to mobilize the workers in the factory, so that the big guys are ready to start mass production at any time, and the raw materials and other things must be contacted first...... Wu Tian said.

"This ...... Xiaotian, even if the province approves it, it still has to be reported to the ministry, where can it be approved in ten days? Zhang Zhixing said in disbelief.

Wu Tian smiled slightly, and said, "It's easy to handle if you can't approve it, if it doesn't work, change the agreement......
