Chapter 103: This mark is red and purple
On January 16th, the registration for the Three Kingdoms of Machinery began to be registered.
On January 20th, the registration will close.
During the period, the preparations before the start of the competition were in full swing.
First of all, as the origin of the brand, Huangnigang has carried out all-round transformation with the funding of TEP.
Two large mechanical characters are installed at the east gate and the north gate, with the line horn taking into account the announcement, the jet device taking into account the street lamp, and the large metal card used to introduce the characters next to it also takes into account the propaganda board.
After repairing the potholed asphalt road, many steel plates with road signs and warnings were laid on the surface, and every 50 meters, a steel beam lighthouse was welded, and 6 halotungsten headlights were arranged above.
The dilapidated gatehouses on both sides of the street, in addition to wrapping a layer of electroplated anti-rust iron sheet, have also replaced the door head and interior.
Like a donkey meat restaurant.
The interior of the house is made of metal tables and chairs that can be folded, expanded, and spliced, with rounded corners and tough lines.
On the wall, a metal wall hung with the help of TEP, inside which a photo of the food is posted with electric flipping, and a delicate small spotlight is set below, which is bright and simple as a whole.
With non-reflective frosted metal walls, the store instantly improves countless grades.
Like a barber shop, a small shop, a health room, a bun shop......
From the East Gate to the North Gate, and then to Daze, the style rotates, like a mechanical street.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the huge changes have made it almost impossible for migrant workers to return to their hometowns.
As for whether someone will steal it......
The militia company has recently been given a new outfit.
Uniformly put on a woolly bear-style military tweed coat, wore a plush locomotive hat, carried a A and M tutu, and stepped on heavy cowhide boots, a group of three, a shift of 12 people, following the toy factory black and white three shifts, driving four light transport vehicles, all-weather uninterrupted patrol.
Not to mention petty theft, even drunks are extinct.
After the transformation, the most eye-catching place is the supply and marketing cooperative.
What used to be a dilapidated tiled house has now been transformed into a steel fortress.
The outer wall is fixed with steel beams and iron sheets, the inner layer is soundproof and anti-corrosion, and the outer layer is fireproof and insulated.
The roof is made of thickened carbon steel 304 stainless steel, which is anti-irritability, rainproof and corrosion-proof.
There are five escape exits in the front and back yards, which are connected as a whole, like an L-shaped corridor, with 150 computers placed in the middle, and toy counters and toy posters on both sides.
The precincts are home to a large mechanical horse, a large clockwork car, and a ring game that is studied using a catapult device......
There are also two models of the chariot for customers to take pictures of for free.
People come and go, bustling and noisy.
The first supply and marketing chain computer room is also on the right track.
The other side.
January 20th.
Liu Sixi, who was promoted to the leader of the township congress, as usual, first took an armored transport vehicle to run around Daze, then took an armored transport vehicle to the Huangnigang Toy Factory for a circle, and then took an armored transport vehicle back to the township compound to officially go to work.
As soon as he sat in the office for a while, the new deputy head of the township, a young man transferred from the office in Zeshi, knocked on the door outside.
"Leadership."
"Xiao Zhou, come in and say."
"The leaders, the city and the county, respectively informed that there are more than a dozen Japanese enterprise investors who are coming from Dongshan Prefecture and will arrive at about ten o'clock."
"Got it, you go get busy first."
"Aren't we going to prepare?"
"What is there to prepare, is it possible that you still want me to have a welcome ceremony?"
"I guess that's what it means."
"Heh, if I don't enforce the rules of Huangnigang against them, I'm already very restrained......"
Liu Sixi said, and suddenly remembered something, "You use the roadside radio to shout, and when the car of the Japanese enterprise arrives, let the township not throw bricks, don't splash dirty water, and smash the street lights and propaganda boards that have just been installed." Xu said that whoever breaks it will lose money, less than 8,000 yuan, more than 1.8 million yuan, and the toy factory will never hire it in the future. ”
"On the side of the Japanese enterprise investors, let's ignore it?"
"It's better to give notice...... Do you know how to speak? ”
"No, but there are foreign traders."
"Let them convey it to the Japanese enterprises, and leave as soon as they finish talking."
"Leader, why don't we try to attract investment?"
"One TEP is enough, besides, you don't want this group of little devils to be here with us, and suddenly one or two are missing someday, and then go to the river embankment to find someone, right?"
“……”
"Xiao Zhou, you just came, you don't know much about Huangnigang, our people are simple, older, have a family and a room, and basically won't be too out of line. But if you are younger, especially if you are fourteen or fifteen years old, and you have watched too many anti-Japanese movies, if there are trolls hidden in the house, it is very likely that you will lie on the roof and give the Japanese people a shot. In case you are punished because of this, do you say you are wronged? ”
"Then I'll arrange it."
"By the way, let the armed forces collect the militia's bullets and put them in storage."
Liu Sixi rummaged through the drawers and took out a copy of the list of armaments that TEP leased for free, "One is not less, and the armored transport vehicle will be temporarily impounded." ”
In order to ensure the safety of foreign-funded enterprises, Huangnigang reorganized the militia company.
According to the regulations, the township compound has to take care of the food and pay for it.
But some time ago, I couldn't even afford to pay my salary, so how could I afford to do this.
Fortunately, at that time, Xu proposed to donate money in his personal name to ensure militia training. Then borrow some equipment from the TEP headquarters and lease it to the militia for free to ensure combat effectiveness.
In addition, during the training period, there is food and accommodation, there are benefits for holidays, bonuses at the end of the year, cotton clothes in winter, and armor for travel......
This treatment immediately attracted a large number of laborers.
In terms of armament of the militia, there are no specific regulations, and a few armored combat vehicles will not exceed the standard.
But the mouth of the eater is soft, and the hand of the man is short.
If someone Xu is going to give the Japanese enterprise a bad ......
Maybe the militia suddenly misfired......
Maybe the militia suddenly lost control of the vehicle......
Although Liu Sixi couldn't figure out why Xu asked the little devil to come to Daze, he could be sure that there must be something inside.
………………
Ten o'clock in the morning.
More than 10 foreign-owned cars with black license plates drove into the east gate of Huangnigang from the direction of Jishui City.
Looking at the license plate letters, some are from Liangang in Liao Province, some are from Dongshan Yancheng, some are from Dongshan Qinggang, and some are from Lianyun Port in Jiangsu, Zhejiang......
Looking at the car logo, there is a crown, a Lexus, a duke, and even an extremely rare Toyota Century......
And in this luxury car, an old man and a young man sat in the back seat, silent with each other, watching the scenery flickering outside the car window.
Toys need to be constantly innovating in order to win the market.
Like Lego.
With a small building block, after more than 70 years, it seems that nothing has changed, but in fact, every year it will acquire animation licenses, film and television licenses at a high price, and launch the same popular model, so as to continue its life.
It was not until recently that the copyright could not be bought, and the market plummeted, that the enterprise had to adjust its corporate structure and was even forced to transform.
fo
Like Bandai.
With the character model, after more than 30 years, it seems that nothing has changed, but in fact, every year it invests a huge amount of money to acquire comic copyrights, acquire copyrights, and adapt them into animations and games corresponding to their own business, driving the model toy industry.
It wasn't until the recent economic crisis that there was no money to innovate that we had to consider merging with Sega and entering the field of electronic pets to solve the bankruptcy crisis.
And Tami, Kotobuki, Happi, Furyu, SK Japan...... The same is true.
It can be said that since the development of toys, copyright represents innovation and market, but also represents high costs.
If there is a toy that does not require copyright, but can make people rush to it with its cultural attributes, and can continue to increase its popularity with the help of games, films and television that do not involve copyright, then it will definitely become the object of competition among toy manufacturers.
But the Three Kingdoms of Machines is an alternative.
Plating technology, metal housing, seamless welding, micron-level machining, unique impact play, overwhelming production volume, low selling price......
In many ways, the possibility of being imitated is eliminated.
Although no one knows its profit point now, from the simple shape, smart design, drive form, and existing styles, toy manufacturers can see its market potential.
Continuous strengthening, action-oriented?
Consistently plump, mainly ornamental?
Consistently complex, brick-based?
Now that the action type competition is about to begin, will there be a building block skill competition in the future? Will there be a grand aesthetic contest improved with the help of stickers?
But no matter which direction it develops, based on the current situation of the three countries of machinery, it will definitely make more and more money in the future.
Since it can't be imitated, if you want to make money with it, the best way is naturally to win the distribution right.
In fact, not long after this toy landed on Wajima, it was concerned by many toy manufacturers.
When the first batch of goods was snatched up, some general trading companies took the lead and decided to take the general distribution right and monopolize the entire Wajima.
According to the company introduction on the official website of TEP, the group went to the TEP headquarters in Germany.
Then it was discovered that at the intersection of Voss Street and Wilhelm Street, Hillert's mansion, was now in ruins......
In desperation, I contacted the TEP headquarters, and the phone number was called to Jamaica.
Later, according to the company introduction on the official website of TEP (North America), everyone went to the North American branch of TEP.
Then I found out that it was the Boston Police Department......
Later, according to the official website of TEP, everyone went to Nanbangzi.
Then he was almost sudden, and the North American base was suddenly lost......
As for why not go directly to TEP (Huaxia) Branch?
Do you think a small toy factory invested by a foreign company has the right to speak?
And after a big circle, it has been a month, and there are more and more Wajima companies that have decided to win the general distribution of machinery in the three countries.
Eventually, everyone tried to consult the TEP (Huaxia) Operation Management Center.
I never expected that I really had the right to speak.
Takeuchi hisa, thinking of the experience of the past month, let out a long breath.
Then he looked at the young juniors beside him, "Liangye, in this negotiation, our goal is to win the general distribution of Wajima with 1 billion red banknotes every year, and the payment will be calculated separately." If we fail, our other goal is to get 5 points of rebate or commission to win the total consignment of Wajima. Are you sure that the former needs to reduce costs, and the latter needs to increase revenue? ”
"Uncle, look outside."
"Huh, Mechanical City? It is very much in line with the whimsy of the Three Kingdoms toys. ”
"They obviously have a better operational plan, otherwise they wouldn't have asked the Wajima distributor for a planning fee, and I think it's very likely that they will go direct or direct."
"But they won't be able to do it for a while."
"Therefore, the initiative is ours, and we must win the distribution rights, otherwise we will drive them out of the Wajima market."
When Takeuchi heard this, he laughed and patted his nephew on the shoulder, "I'll wait and see how you perform."
………………
Osawa Power.
Newly completed Great Hall, Room 8.
Xu Fei sat on the rostrum, feeling the heat brought by the small sun heater, and looked down to read the relevant information of the Wadao chaebol.
Summoning the other party to Daze, there is no special idea.
Now is a time of peace, rather than getting rid of a few widows in the country and causing trouble, it is far better to build a warship and run to the other side's door from time to time to set off a few fireworks.
The reason why Xu Fei did this was that he just wanted to take the opportunity to send the spy out.
At the beginning, he constructed a spy in Huangnigang, and originally planned to give it to Zeng Dahe, but later found that he could not disguise his own camp unit, so he let the other party hide at the construction site.
Spies do not have the relevant documents and cannot go through the formalities of leaving the country.
Although it is rare to check household registration and identity certificates now, the military trainees have arrived at Gucheng Secondary School, and the prison has also given an exact reply, maybe one day Daze will be given a surprise inspection to clean up the unidentified people.
Coincidentally, the Wajima chaebol wants to sell the rights, so it is better to let the other party come to negotiate in person, and then take the opportunity to replace a hostile ordinary unit.
In this way, the cost of going abroad is free, the air ticket is free, and when the spies return to Wajima, they can also explore the map, and by the way, put more spies on the way.
However, flip through the information.
Most of the Wajima chaebols who came this time were unheard of by Xu Fei.
There are no Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Xiangyou and the like, most of them are local in nature, or joint in nature, and a few belong to toy brands.
Local and joint co., Ltd., the purpose is to get the general distribution of Wajima.
Toy brand owners, the purpose of which is to entrust OEM production.
Pondering.
Outside the gate of the auditorium, more than a dozen foreign-brought cars slowly stopped.
In the past, black vehicles only represented the Da Driving Hall.
Since 92 years, if the local investment meets certain requirements, you can bring a foreign-funded car into the customs, which is tax-free.
Like imported butterfly Ben, the tax rate is as high as 100%~150%, and the overall price is almost doubled.
However, if you enter in the name of foreign capital, you can be exempted from the tax rate.
And, if the total investment exceeds 100 million red banknotes, you can carry two.
If the total investment exceeds 1 billion red banknotes, you can carry three vehicles.
It may seem demanding, but it raises a serious problem.
Foreign-funded people bring in the car, and after the tax exemption, they will sell the car with the license plate and sell it, and when they have a quota on hand, they will continue to apply for foreign businessmen to bring their own cars.
Therefore, the black plate car has changed from being tall in the early 90s to being a bad street.
Meanwhile.
A Japanese capitalist in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car one after another.
The small map in Xu Fei's field of vision suddenly appeared with a large fuchsia exclamation mark.
"Is it so serious?"
The last time I went to South Stick, the base prompted to enter and leave your camp.
When they got off the plane, except for a group of security officers, the rest showed ordinary units and there were no special markings.
The Boston Police Department also only displays red dot markings.
And this group of people......
Duang~~duang~~duang~~~
The fuchsia exclamation mark retracts and shrinks, like a siren.
It seems that replacing one with a spy is not enough. ’
'You have to replace all the normal units as much as possible. ’
'It's better to study by the way, how to replace elite units. ’
