Under the leadership of Director Pan, everyone walked into the interior of a factory building in the east.

The floor in the yard is just ordinary cement, but it is very clean, and it seems that in order to welcome their group of Hong Kong businessmen, a very thorough cleaning has been carried out, but there are some places that fade and crack.

From the very beginning of the raw materials cotton, nylon fabrics, made into yarn, to the subsequent processing, printing and dyeing, shaping, clothing, these are the most basic fabric molding process, which is not common in Hong Kong, only a few companies specialize in these, most of the textile companies in Hong Kong, are bought cloth processing into clothing-based.

Director Pan introduced everyone along the way, but this is just a walk around, not a professional person, I don't understand these at all, the real focus is actually the last process of the whole factory, that is, garment making.

The garment workshop is the southernmost part of the factory building, which is similar to Hong Kong, with a total of 4 floors, obviously, the location of the first textile factory is still good, otherwise, it is obviously better to build it completely on the first floor.

Although I don't know where this will be in Yuezhou City in the future, but depending on the density of the surrounding crowds, it will definitely be a certain location in the urban area.

"Is this a military uniform?" Chen Tinghua of Nanfeng Textile Group looked at the pile of green coats in front of him and asked curiously.

"No, these are just similar to military uniforms in appearance, but they are actually for brothers in the northern provinces, where people need clothes to keep out the cold, you can take a look at that one, it is all pure cotton, and it is very warm to wear in winter." Director Pan introduced with a smile.

"It's heavy." A Hong Kong businessman said after picking up a military coat.

"It's warm." Director Pan said with a smile.

Chen Zhiwen also picked up a military coat, which was indeed very heavy, and the inside of the clothes seemed to be thick cotton, which felt very material to the touch, and when he was a child, he seemed to have been exposed to this kind of clothes.

"What does Chen Sheng think? Can these clothes be exported to Europe and the United States? Director Pan asked with great anticipation and confidence.

"Exporting to Europe and the United States? You can't do that with such clothes. Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said.

"Why? Winters in Europe and the United States are also cold, right? People there should also need winter clothes, right? Director Pan asked.

Domestic policy has begun to change in the past few years, in the past, as long as the factory produces, there is basically no shortage of things to buy, and they don't need to worry about other things, but in the past two years, it seems that everyone is encouraged to sell their products abroad, and then exchange for foreign exchange.

Originally, Director Pan didn't care, but a textile factory in the neighboring city next door imported a textile production line in Japan last year, with a production capacity of four times that of the same type in their factory, and the quality of the production was good.

It's just that his request was directly rejected by the province, and the foreign exchange of the whole country is not much, and there are even fewer that can be used freely in each province.

However, the province also gave him a solution, as long as you can earn foreign exchange yourself, then after the province gets foreign exchange, it will consider using half of the foreign exchange you earn to buy overseas equipment.

Guangdong and Hong Kong are relatively close, after learning that a group of Hong Kong entrepreneurs are coming, Director Pan took the initiative to invite Hong Kong businessmen to his factory, just to seize this opportunity, especially since he has learned from a friend about the particularity of Chen Zhiwen's Galaxy Trading.

"In the United States, it is indeed cold in winter, but people still like lighter clothes." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

"But how can such light clothes be warm?" Director Pan asked with some puzzlement.

"This is the problem of material technology, I am not very professional, but it has a lot to do with the basic material industry, the western winter clothing production companies, are in the pursuit of very light conditions, to ensure warmth, Director Pan, you said that two clothes, with the same warmth effect, one is very heavy and one is very light, which one will you choose?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Light." After hesitating for a moment, Director Pan still said his choice, he actually understood what Chen Zhiwen meant.

"This is anyone's instinct, and no one likes the weight of the clothes on their bodies, so, Director Pan, if your products are to be exported to Europe and the United States, the weight of this winter coat must be reduced." Chen Zhiwen suggested.

Director Pan then asked, "I know that there are many winter clothes in Hong Kong, what kind of clothes do they make?" ”

"Most of their raw materials are imported from Japan, and recently there is a textile factory in Hong Kong called Berkshire Hathaway, which is also starting to make this kind of product." Chen Zhiwen replied.

"It's going to be imported." Director Pan frowned and said.

"This should involve material issues, Director Pan's factory is very large, you can carry out research and development in this direction, and when I return to Hong Kong, I can send you some similar overseas down jackets, as long as you can make similar ones, then I can consider placing some orders." Chen Zhiwen said.

The textile industry, although it is a light industry, but the internal technical content, there are still a lot, the same degree of warmth, directly affects the user's experience, which is basically the decisive factor, this kind of military coat sent to Costco, it is estimated that it is free to send, customers are not necessarily.

And the higher requirements, as well as waterproof, good down jackets, when it rains, the rain will slide down the clothes, instead of seeping in, wetting the whole clothes, and the more advanced ones also have fire level requirements, not really requiring fire prevention, but requiring that it is difficult to be led by the flames, and it is really burned, and it will also be required to burn very slowly, etc.

All light industries, the basis for sustainable prosperity is to have the research and development capabilities of heavy industry, otherwise, it will be the same as Hong Kong, just a group of small industries that make ordinary clothes and assemble small industries, even if the scale becomes the climate, but it is just a part-time job for the material factory.

Of course, the situation in China is much better, since the beginning of the 70s, China spent a lot of Western production lines for the sky-high price of 4.3 billion US dollars, petroleum smelting production lines to solve material and energy problems, chemical fiber production lines to solve clothing problems, smelting factories to solve steel problems, fertilizer production plants to solve agricultural problems.

These are actually the foundation of reform and opening up, if the country can not provide these basic raw materials, then can only do some small factories that come to make up for three to one supplement, and will never become the climate, and there will be no miracle of industrial development in the 90s and even 00s.

But now, if it doesn't work, it won't work, and these products simply don't meet the market demand in Europe and the United States.

"Okay, thank you Chen Sheng." Director Pan said with some disappointment.

"Chen Sheng, since winter clothes are not good because of their weight, can you consider summer clothes." President Liang on the side asked.

"Okay, let's go check it out." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, summer clothes are much simpler, and the current domestic chemical fiber production capacity has also come up, so there should not be much problem in this regard.

After spending an afternoon at the No. 1 Textile Factory, Chen Zhiwen looked at almost all the products they could make, and also recognized a few things, such as socks, short sleeves, shorts, etc., but did not place an order on the spot, but gave a verbal promise that as long as the quality is good, the annual purchase amount will not be less than one million US dollars.

Next, the people of Hong Kong Galaxy Trade will send relevant needs, or recognize the styles here, and then send some samples to American supermarkets for testing and related laboratories for testing, no problem and good customer feedback, then it will be time to place an order.

Director Pan and President Liang were very happy, and they could be regarded as completing a small task.

In the next few days, President Liang took Chen Zhiwen and his entourage around several factories that made daily necessities, but Chen Zhiwen didn't care, as long as the quality was appropriate, they could discuss future cooperation.

Until the last day, Chen Zhiwen's verbal promise had gone out of 5 million US dollars, and under the condition that the Guangdong side was quite satisfied, Chen Zhiwen and all the members of the delegation set off from Yuezhou Airport and went directly north to Yanjing.

This is an ordinary plane, although it has been packed, but the space is still set in civil aviation, and the legroom seats are more crowded than Hong Kong's economy class.

After being notified by the captain that it was safe, most of the people unbuckled their seat belts and moved to each other.

On the current mainland plane, you can still smoke and drink, and after a while, the cabin will be full of smoke, Chen Zhiwen, a non-smoker, can't stand it, and hurriedly walked to the corner, although there is still the smell of smoke, but it is much smaller.

"Chen Sheng doesn't smoke?" One person came to Chen Zhiwen's side and asked with a smile.

Chen Zhiwen looked up and saw that it was Hu Yingxiang of Hehe Industry, so he said: "Hu Sheng doesn't smoke either?" ”

"I used to smoke it, but I got sick a few years ago, so I took the opportunity to quit, but now I smell this smoking, I am too uncomfortable, and if I want to smoke, I can only hide here like Chen Sheng." Hu Yingxiang said with a smile.

"How many years have you been quitting? Hu Sheng is really amazing? Chen Zhiwen smiled and said. Whether in his past life or in this life, Chen Zhiwen knows some old smokers, and has heard countless times calling for quitting, but at least a few days, at most a few months, he will basically give up.

"The body needs it, and if I was young, I would definitely not be able to quit." Hu Yingxiang laughed and said: "Chen Sheng, how do you feel about seeing those factories in Guangdong?" ”

"It can only be said that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the technical process and the understanding of the product." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Chen Sheng is really good at talking, he obviously says that he is very bad, but he can speak so well." Hu Yingxiang said with a smile.

"What about Hu Sheng?" Chen Zhiwen asked again, Hu Yingxiang went to see all kinds of infrastructure construction.

"It's very bad, let's just say that in the urban area, many places don't have running water, and still rely on well water or river water, I said at the time that I could donate money to build water pipelines, but the supporting officials didn't agree." Hu Yingxiang said.

"This is actually only a superficial problem, the root cause is that the industry is not very good, otherwise, it would not be like this." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, poor industry is one of the main reasons for social poverty, with industrial industries that can produce high added value, in order to create more wealth, similar to Switzerland, which relies on finance, is only a few, and even Switzerland, in the past, there was also industry, such as mechanical watches, but in recent years, electronic watches can only take the high-end route.

"Yes, in fact, I have an idea, I don't know much about industry, but even if the industry is developed, it has to rely on logistics and transportation, Chen Sheng, you have also seen our road to Guangdong before, if this is the situation in China, I am afraid that even the industry will be difficult to develop." Hu Yingxiang said.

"You don't want to build a road, do you?" Chen Zhiwen said in surprise, if it is true, then this Hong Kong infrastructure madman actually had this idea a year before the change, but it is right to think about it, this kind of big investment is also the direction of long-term thinking.

"I wanted to build a road from Guangdong to Hong Kong, but I didn't even agree to donate a water pipeline, let alone a road." Hu Yingxiang said with a smile: "Moreover, it is the first time for me to meet with official officials in the mainland, so I want to make a big investment or donation, and people will definitely not dare to accept it." ”

"It's true that a slap can't be slapped." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, this time I came to the mainland, in fact, I just came to have a look, even he would not invest directly, besides, even if he wanted to invest, it would not work now, it was no problem to just do business, and now the country has begun to work hard to earn foreign exchange. This time, I took the opportunity to get to know officials from several big cities or large local companies, and I had a stable cooperative relationship, and after the change, it was convenient to start.

"It's still convenient for Chen Sheng, just place an order, but unfortunately I can't do industry, otherwise I want to try it." Hu Yingxiang shook his head and said.

"Why not? You don't understand industry, I don't understand either, I don't know anything about the inside of electronic products, and I don't know anything about the ingredients of drinks, but this does not hinder the achievements of Midea and Red Bull in Europe and the United States. Chen Zhiwen said: "Just like everyone is doing real estate, who understands architecture?" ”

"Chen Sheng has some truth in saying this, but it's not suitable for people of my age to do it." Hu Yingxiang said with a smile.

Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said: "You don't need Hu Sheng to do it, you just need to spend money and invest and let professionals do it, and I can also give you some orders to ensure normal development in the early stage." ”

"Chen Sheng didn't laugh? But why is that? Hu Yingxiang asked curiously.

"In modern society, the pursuit is the division of labor and cooperation, no company can do everything, and some of them must be divided, if Hu Sheng is really interested, maybe he can take this opportunity to try, but the profits of this industry are far less than that of real estate." Chen Zhiwen said.

For example, in the early days of the establishment of Midea, it was its own injection molding production of plastic parts of fans, but later after the scale became larger and larger, it was done for other companies. In addition to plastic parts, many metal parts and electronic parts are also the same.

"This is not bad, then thank you Chen Sheng, wait for me to go back to Hong Kong and think about it, as for the profit, it doesn't matter if it's low, anyway, I won't invest too much at the beginning, the real estate crisis in the first two years, I and He almost went bankrupt, one more industry, it is not to put the eggs in the same basket, and to do business, maybe it will be more useful in China in the future." Hu Yingxiang thought for a while and said.

"Okay, no problem, not only the industrial chain of Midea, but also Galaxy Trade has a lot of overseas orders, and Hu Sheng can take a fancy to any of them." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

In the 73-year real estate crisis, bankrupt real estate companies abound, and even Hehe Industrial, one of the five tigers of real estate, almost went bankrupt. And the reason why he intends to give these orders to Hu Yingxiang is actually because he likes the things he will do in the future, building roads and bridges in China to build thermal power stations, looking at Hong Kong and overseas Chinese, can do this, and count them on one hand.

Because of a large number of investment funds, Hehe Industrial basically gave up the huge profits of Hong Kong's real estate, and missed the status of Hong Kong's huge wealth in the future, but if he handed over a large number of industries that he would not personally participate in to him, so that Hehe Industrial really became an industrial giant, it was also a good choice, at least he would definitely invest in the mainland on a large scale in the early stage, and it could also reduce the procurement cost of Galaxy Trade or Midea.

"Yanjing is almost here, everyone, please go back to your seats and fasten your seat belts." The flight attendant suddenly reminded loudly.

"It's almost there." Chen Zhiwen looked at the city below with almost no high-rise buildings, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable.
