Chapter 510 Reflection

In the early 80s, the price of mechanical pencils was very expensive, and the price of a beautiful mechanical pencil reached a terrifying three yuan a piece.

Three yuan is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that you may not be able to buy it for three yuan.

This kind of mechanical pencil is only sold in a few places in Shanghai, Beijing and a few large cities in Guangzhou, and it is impossible to buy a mechanical pencil without a special ticket.

Seeing Deng Fuchun and Yu Lei arguing over the matter of the mechanical pencil, Li Zhongxin moved, picked up the mechanical pencil that Deng Fuchun said had been damaged, he casually disassembled the cap part in front of the mechanical pencil, disassembled the mechanical pencil directly, and fiddled with the small metal head in the front part of the plastic core twice with his hands, and told Deng Fuchun that the mechanical pencil was not broken, but there was a little problem.

After calming down a small turmoil, Li Zhongxin saw a little business opportunity from it.

After Li Zhongxin got out of school, he called Zhao Futian in the provincial capital and asked him to help him find some information.

In the information about the mechanical pencil obtained on the third night, Li Zhongxin saw that the world's first mechanical pencil was invented in England in 1822.

In 1915, the Japanese Tokuji Hayakawa invented a mechanical pencil, which was named "Every-Ready Sharp Pencil" for export.

At first, the new writing instrument was not recognized in Japan, but it was not until there was a surge in export orders that it was recognized abroad, and the demand in Japan grew rapidly. Hayakawa also expanded with sales of mechanical pencils.

Mechanical pencils began to be popularized in Japanese schools in the late 1970s and were mass-produced by Sharp in Japan.

The mechanical pencil has a spring inside, and pressing the back of the lid allows the refill to extend from the fixed length of the front end and write the same thickness.

Wooden pencils need to be curled frequently in order to keep writing smooth, and the emergence of mechanical pencils is in line with the needs of people to use them easily. Mechanical pencil, as the name suggests, is a pencil that does not need to be rolled and can be automatically or semi-automatically cored.

Mechanical pencils cost one dollar and five dimes to two yuan for each of the most common mechanical pencils, and the price of more exquisite mechanical pencils is as high as three or five yuan.

The cost of this kind of thing is nothing more than a small spring, a plastic pen barrel out of a mold, and the most difficult thing to do is nothing more than the small metal head inside and the plastic core of the plastic item.

The cost of making a mechanical pencil in a single or small quantity may be higher, but once the product is produced in large quantities, the cost will be reduced to what is expected.

At this time, the Japanese side has a very mature technology in the production of mechanical pencils, the raw materials of this kind of thing are very simple, and the workmanship is nothing more than a few small things, as long as such an assembly line is introduced, it will soon be able to carry out large-scale production.

Li Zhongxin thought that China's stationery market would be quite a huge market in the future, and that Zhongxin's supermarkets were also dealing in stationery, so he should consider producing some mechanical pencils as a stationery project under Zhongxin.

Li Zhongxin didn't have the energy to think about such things as making paper and making books, but it should still be quite okay to produce things like mechanical pencils.

Small businesses and small workshops can make money from these things, and if he invests a sum of money in this area at this time, the rate of return will be very high in the future.

Zhongxin's investment in many aspects is a large-scale investment, scientific research base, animation base, small investment, in many aspects, Li Zhongxin has lost too much interest.

But what! This kind of mechanical pencil investment can still be operated.

Mechanical pencil is a pretty good big project, and the refill of the follow-up mechanical pencil is also a big project, as long as there are students using mechanical pencils, then, there will be a mechanical lead involved.

The production of automatic lead cores in Japan is all produced on an assembly line, and basically does not require much labor, that is, both of these things will be quite profitable.

Although the price of each mechanical pencil is the lowest price in the market, Li Zhongxin is ready to improve the quality of the mechanical pencil produced by Zhongxin to the best.

In this way, there will not be too much impact on the mechanical pencil on the market, after all, China's stationery market needs a hundred schools of thought in the future, if he directly puts the price of mechanical pencil and automatic lead core to a point that other factories can not accept, for the future of China's stationery market and China's stationery enterprises will have a negative impact.

Recently, Li Zhongxin has also made some reflections, just like Zhongxin's Longjiang brand electric fan, ultra-low price, super good quality, Longjiang brand electric fan came out, immediately became popular all over the country, for those domestic enterprises that produce electric fans, that is a devastating blow.

Although Li Zhongxin in the later period of the most remedy, for the Longjiang brand electric fan production process and injection mold can be sold to other electric fan manufacturers, but the effect is not great, after all, most of the electric fan enterprises, will not be Zhongxin company in general, as long as a little profit, in the eyes of those manufacturers, the profit of Longjiang brand electric fan is too low.

It is precisely because of this reason that many of China's electric fan manufacturers have begun to transfer.

Another example is Zhongxin's Anershu sanitary napkins, the selling price of each pack of sanitary napkins is five dimes, because the sales volume of Anershu sanitary napkins is large, and when purchasing things, the purchase price is also extremely cheap, and the production cost of each pack of sanitary napkins will probably be in the triangle seven cents to triangle eight cents, and the net profit is about a dime per pack.

It can be said that now in eighty-five years, in addition to Anershu sanitary napkin manufacturers, there is no other sanitary napkin manufacturer in China, which will affect the national sanitary napkin factory hundreds of schools of thought.

The monopoly industry makes money, but if it is too monopolistic, it will affect the survival of other manufacturers.

Li Zhongxin remembers very clearly that soon after he and Masako Mitsui ordered a sanitary napkin production line, a domestic company ordered a production line after them, but at this time, the brand of sanitary napkins is only one kind of Anershu sanitary napkins, and women all over the country use Anershu, and other brands of sanitary napkins are not produced at all.

Li Zhongxin feels that his share of sanitary napkins in China is large enough, and when the New Year is turned, he will make some adjustments to the price of sanitary napkins, at least higher, so that other companies that want to make sanitary napkins can enter it.

The most important thing in the future is to upgrade the products and upgrade the assembly line, rather than putting the mind on the price, after the one-time adjustment is in place, new sanitary napkin manufacturers will gradually emerge, which will accelerate the rapid development of the industry.
