Chapter 203: The Chinese New Year's Eve of a Harvest
Backpacks are slowly increasing in Xiangjiang, and they are currently mainly concentrated in the upper class group.
One day in December, a student named John arrived at school with a backpack he had just bought.
His backpack looks simple, but it has a padded wide band between the shoulders, which allows the backpack to distribute the weight evenly, reducing the burden on one shoulder and arm, and making it easy for people to carry books, food, and other items.
When John showed off his backpack at school, the response was overwhelming. Some people try to carry it on their shoulders and find that the backpack is very comfortable to carry and can hold more items.
Soon, John's backpack attracted more and more attention and became a topic of conversation on campus in a short period of time.
Since the beginning of the day, the backpack has become a sight in the school, and everyone is proud to have one.
There was a craze for backpacks at school. All the students recommended their favorite styles, hoping to gain a certain status in the minds of the students.
Soon, some students started a show-off race to be able to buy the latest backpacks. They will boast about their backpacks in front of their classmates, exaggerating the various advantages and performance of the backpack.
And are very proud to say how much money they spent on this backpack, as if their values and status are related to the brand and price of the backpack.
Students who don't get their hands on the latest backpacks become very anxious and self-doubting, fearing that their backpacks will be despised by their classmates or that they don't have the taste to be recognized by their classmates.
The wind of comparison is quietly blowing on the campus.
While backpacks are taking schools by storm, some unscrupulous businessmen take advantage of the preferences of the student body and arbitrarily raise the price of backpacks to obtain ill-gotten gains.
Due to the rapid growth of the backpack market and the insufficient production capacity of Longhua Technology Factory, sellers are in short supply, resulting in the problem of piracy and counterfeit products.
Most of these backpacks are indiscriminately imitated by some small workshops, with low materials and rough workmanship, and they were soon approached by the parents of the students, and the scene was a piece of chicken feathers.
Invisibly for Longhua technology to do a wave of advertising, in the students' cognition, Longhua technology is the guarantee of quality, but also the leader of fashion, but also a great designer.
Li Guocheng took precautions and directly entrusted the Jingjiang Law Firm to help crack down on counterfeiting and shoddy products, mainly to prevent imitation by some large-scale textile factories.
And promised that all the proceeds of the crackdown will belong to the firm. They are so positive, at one stage, in the main market, they can't see a fake and shoddy backpack.
In January 1971, Li Guocheng met with lawyer Miller, and he brought two applications for patents for the purchase of backpacks.
The two discussed for an afternoon, rejecting the patent purchase and instead resorting to a patent grant, which had been granted for one year and up to three years, and then restarted licensing negotiations.
How to operate, controlled by Miller lawyers, the licensing fee shall not be less than 200W Hong Kong dollars per year, and it is forbidden to sell in Hong Kong.
Through this operation, 5 were signed that year, and the annual authorization fee was 1200W Hong Kong dollars. The brand effect of Longhua Technology has been further enhanced.
Despite the growth of the business, Chen Li's pungent temperament has been brought into full play, not only the internal management of the factory is in order, but also the appearance of the Iron Lady has been initially externalized, and has been supported by Wang Xiaoxuan and Ma Yong.
After soliciting the opinions of Brother Hua, Chen Li has now been appointed by Li Guocheng as the general manager of Longhua Technology Dream Workshop, and currently has 5 departments, namely:
Design department, Wang Xiaoxuan is the department manager;
machining center, Chen Li concurrently serves as the center manager;
In the purchasing department, Li Mingda, a subordinate of Ma Yong, served as the department manager;
In the sales department, Ma Yong is the sales manager;
In the finance department, Qian Xiaowan served as the department manager, and was a college student recruited by the society later.
The annual salary of the general manager is 10W Hong Kong dollars, the department manager is 6W Hong Kong dollars, and the basic salary of other employees has increased to 500 Hong Kong dollars. The biggest change is the food in the canteen, 2 meat and 6 vegetarian, and the rice is full.
On January 26, 1971, the factory was already on holiday, and there were only Chen Li and her children, Li Guocheng, Hua Ge, and Ah Zhi in the whole factory, 4 big and 1 small.
The two women were cooking in the cafeteria, and Li Guocheng and Hua Ge sat in the office to summarize the company's operations for a year.
After 5 months of actual operation, excluding costs and taxes, the revenue from the sale of the backpack was a profit of 318W. The patent authorization is 1200W Hong Kong dollars, and excluding taxes, it is 1044W Hong Kong dollars.
According to the company's profit of 318W Hong Kong dollars, if the dividend is paid, Hua Ge will receive 63W Hong Kong dollars.
When he heard this number, Brother Hua was numb at that time, and he was speechless for a long time in shock. shouted on the spot that he wanted to quit the club. Later, he joined the JD organization of the Catholic Church and preached the JD to the outside world.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very rich, with 5 people eating, drinking, and imagining the future.
Ah Zhi has already started her career as a flight attendant, and she drank a little wine during her meal, and kept talking about her experience at this stage.
This adds novelty to this Spring Festival, and everyone listens to it with relish. When she knew that her stock was now worth more than 80,000, she almost went crazy.
may be the reason for drinking, he actually stretched over, hugged Li Guocheng and kissed him on the cheek, and then sat back in his seat as if he was fine, yelling, and continued to drink.
As a later generation, Li Guocheng did not have any feelings for such an intimate act, but had a feeling of returning to the past. When the wine was half-drunk, he actually sang a song "The Love of My Life" when he was in high spirits.
"The Love of My Life" is a song written by Tang Shuchen and composed and sung by Lu Guanting, composed in the ending song of Stephen Chow's classic movie "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marries", the song describes the process of a boy growing into a man, expressing a period of helplessness and sadness.
Perhaps because of his long-term practice, Li Guocheng's voice is very broad and magnetic, coupled with the experience of two lifetimes, under the influence of alcohol, he involuntarily put his feelings into it.
At the end of the song, I remembered the feeling of love in the movie, and the helplessness of being separated from his wife and children for a long time, and tears couldn't help but flow.
Although Brother Hua didn't shed tears, he was also embarrassed, and he rapped well.
The remaining two girls had already cried into tears, Chen Li looked at Li Guocheng, eager to hug him into her chest and give him some comfort.
It was late at night, and Brother Hua kept saying that he was not drunk, muttering that he was going to find Ah Zhen.
Li Guocheng also drank a lot, controlled his internal breath, put himself in a state of drunkenness, and was helped back to the bedroom by a soft body in a daze.
Li Guocheng had a dream, in which he and Zhao Ting were in love with each other and fought endlessly.
When I opened my eyes the next day, I felt an abnormality in my body and found several black hairs more than 20 centimeters on the pillow. Ah Zhi has long hair in a shawl, so it can only be Chen Li, who has always had short hair.
Li Guocheng had a headache, so he had to throw the pot over the matter of drinking, and sat on the bed without thinking about how to treat Chen Li.
