Chapter 110: Damn Lianhua
Chen Zhanpeng hung up the phone and looked at the small factory outside the window, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
In the early days of reform and opening up, when the state took the lead in carrying out the household contract responsibility system, which is commonly known as "big contracting", this factory was established in response to the call of the state.
As the state began to support the self-employed policy again, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet four years ago to shut down the factory.
At first, he operated well, although he did not make Chen Zhanpeng rich, but he never lost money. However, man's ambition will become bigger and bigger, and in less than three years, he will no longer be satisfied with the current level and begin to think about change.
There are many directions related to plastics that are easy to transform, but in the end he chose toy production that looks beautiful but is relatively difficult to transform.
The reason why Chen Zhanpeng is optimistic about toys is that he finds that the income of ordinary people in China is getting higher and higher, and with the gradual relaxation or even abolition of the food stamp system, more and more people are willing to spend money on non-essential goods.
He thinks that as long as the income of the Chinese people continues to increase, more and more people will buy toys for their children, and the toy manufacturing industry will definitely make a lot of money.
In fact, his prediction was correct, and in the period after the transformation, there will actually be more money than before. It's just that counting the investment in transformation, he hasn't started to make money yet. He believes that as long as he persists, good days will come.
However, the good times did not last long, and just when he was full of expectations for the future, the joint venture Lianhua settled in Haishi......
Lianhua has a number of more advanced and large toy production lines, although Lianhua itself is not a Chinese but a foreign country, but the toys it produces that do not meet the standards of defective products, but will be taken out by the workers below and sold directly in the market.
The most annoying thing is that many of the so-called defective products that do not meet the standards are even more exquisite than the toys that meet the standards in Chen Zhanpeng's factory! When two similar toys are put together, most people will think that Chen Zhanpeng's qualified product is the defective product!
This blow destroyed Chen Zhanpeng's toy dream, and his toy factory's income became lower and lower, and gradually worse than before the transformation.
Many of the old people in the factory began to advise him to reopen the mulch film line, or simply give up the toy line and go straight back to the mulch film production.
Chen Zhanpeng is a person with a fighting spirit, otherwise he would not have taken down the factory in the first place, let alone transformed into toy production. So he scoffed at these suggestions, and even though the factory was declining and the old men were leaving, he was still convinced that his predictions were not wrong.
It's just that with the passage of time, when the toy factory was about to be unable to support it a year ago, Chen Zhanpeng was originally ready to compromise and switch the factory back to producing mulch film in the coming year.
But just a few days after his annual vacation, he discovered a new business opportunity - Liu Shenxiang, the protagonist of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother".
"Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" became popular all over China with lightning speed, and Chen Zhanpeng thought that this was a chance for God to turn over when he was about to go to a dead end.
Before the annual leave was over, he recalled some of the workers to the factory and took out all his family resources in an attempt to make a last-ditch effort, and the factory began to work overtime to produce Liu Shenxiang's toys.
As a result, the Liu Agarwood toy dolls produced by his factory rushed in front of other toy factories, and the first to start selling on the market, and he earned the dividend of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" at the first time.
At the same time, other toy factories also discovered this money-making point and began to grab the market with Chen Zhanpeng. Fortunately, their factory is much better than most other manufacturers in terms of mold opening and materials, so even if his Liu agarwood toys are expensive, they are still sought after by the people.
Just when Chen Zhanpeng was full of expectations for the future again, the joint venture Lianhua made another move......
Lianhua directly cooperated with Haishi Fine Arts Film Studio (in fact, it is an elite group) and announced that it would soon release the genuine puppet toys of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother".
Chen Zhanpeng laughed at the news, not only did he not reduce production and wait and see, but also ordered his subordinates to increase the production of Liu Agarwood dolls.
In his opinion, the vast majority of people in China do not care about copyright, although the quality of genuine authorized toys is good and more exquisite, the price is not acceptable to ordinary people. Therefore, Lianhua's genuine toys will not have any impact on their toy sales at all.
However, it turned out that he was wrong, and Lianhua drove his toy factory into the abyss for the second time - genuine licensing, exquisite workmanship, affordable prices, and limited sales.
These keywords punched Chen Zhanpeng in the face, catching him off guard.
Overnight, no one bought these copycat "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" toys, everyone poured into the department store, poured into the supply and marketing building, and queued up to buy those genuine toys that were a few points cheaper than most copycat toys.
Liu Shenxiang, who can't sell a large number of people in the warehouse, has been completely hollowed out, which makes it impossible for Chen Zhanpeng to transform the factory now. For him, the only thing left is to sell the factory with a gloomy heart.
In desperation, he told everyone he knew the news.
Today, someone finally came to ask for a price. The introducer was Masda, the director of the chemical plant where he had been taking raw materials.
Although Chen Zhanpeng is not very familiar with Mastar, he has taken raw materials from him from the factory in the big bag, and the quality of the raw materials has always been surprisingly good.
As for the man who has the intention of being a plate factory, he didn't even have time to ask the other party's name, and the other party asked countless questions, and his professionalism was amazing.
So much so that when he hung up the phone in the end, Chen Zhanpeng had a feeling of unreality.
Looking out the window at the factory that had been shut down, there was only one sentence swirling in his mind: "After so many years of struggle, is it going to end like this?" ”
Since the factory was not very large, he could see the door directly through the window of his office, and he just stared at the door blankly, waiting for the buyer to arrive......
After Song Mu and Shen Chang left the chemical factory in Mastar, Shen Chang sent Song Mu home first. Song's father and Song's mother's cram school is about to open, and both of them are busy and dizzy.
Song Mu was not worried that a straight man like Shen Chang would go alone to talk to someone about the acquisition, and the second elder was not at home at the moment, so she simply threw her luggage into her room, turned her head and went downstairs and got into Shen Chang's car again.
Shen Chang was very speechless when Song Mu was not at ease, but at the same time he was speechless, he felt very sweet in his heart.
He had already inquired about the location of Chen Zhanpeng's factory, and had also made an appointment to meet this afternoon. Therefore, after picking up Song Mu, he rushed to the factory on the outskirts of the city.
When the two arrived at their destination, it was about three o'clock.
Song Mu looked at the locked door facing the front of the car, and asked with some uncertainty, "You really didn't go the wrong way?" How do I think this factory is so desolate? It doesn't feel like what you said? ”
Shen Chang was somewhat shaken by this question: "Hmm...... Isn't that true? It doesn't look like there's a public phone around here, so why don't we go back? I've seen a utility ...... about seven or eight miles away."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a person appear in the courtyard of the factory and walked straight towards the gate.
"Looks like someone is coming." Shen Chang loosened his seat belt, and said to Song Mu while opening the car door: "I'll go down and take a look, you are waiting in the car." ”
Shen Chang walked to the gate, and the person in the factory also happened to come closer.
Shen Chang frowned and asked tentatively, "Excuse me...... Are you Chen Zhanpeng Chen Boss? ”
The moment Chen Zhanpeng heard this, he knew that the person outside the door was the one who asked all kinds of questions on the phone. He glanced at Rada 2105, who was parked at the door, and then fell on the person who came: "That's right, it's me." You're someone who wants to build a factory, right? Now there is no work to do, and the whole factory is stopped. I'll open the door, and you can come in." ”
Shen Chang nodded, turned around and returned to the car, while Chen Zhanpeng used a big key to open a huge lock, and after pulling off the iron chain, he pulled the two big iron doors to both sides.
"Come in!" He waved at the car.
