Chapter 733: Making Money
Lu Guanqiu had a rough time this year. More than ten years ago, he sold all his belongings and raised 4,000 yuan. He led 6 farmers, relying on a stove and a few hammers, in a bungalow of 84 square meters to start a business. He established his own "Ningwei Commune Agricultural Machinery Repair Factory". In the next 10 years, he tried all kinds of products such as coulters, iron rakes, and universal joints, as long as he could make money and make a living.
Four years ago, according to an editorial in a newspaper, "Transportation is the key to the development of the national economy", he judged that China would vigorously develop the automobile industry, and decided to cut off other projects and focus on universal joints.
The universal joint is the connector of the car transmission shaft and the drive shaft. It is like a cross. The large one is nearly a foot long, and the small one is no longer than a finger. The cross-section of the four heads is as flat as a mirror, and 1/6 of a hair is ground You have to replace it with a new one.
The technical content of this gadget is not low. If you want to overcome difficulties and realize the manufacture of universal joints, you must invest a lot of money and manpower. However, the Ningwei Commune Agricultural Machinery Repair Factory is not in his hands. Because of historical reasons, Still subject to the constraints of the higher authorities, and they don't understand Lu Guanqiu's thoughts.
I think the Ningwei Commune Agricultural Machinery Repair Factory has done a good job, caught up with the good times, and is now earning a lot of money. Why spend this unreasonable money? Wouldn't it be nice to keep making those popular products?
This made Lu Guanqiu very depressed. The factory itself doesn't count, and it is too difficult to do something. He is a person with vision. He not only sees the prospects of the automobile industry, but also realizes the agricultural machinery repair factory of Ningwei Commune. The crisis of existence, there were not many similar factories around in the past, and they could still earn a living.
Over the years, with the deepening of opening up, new factories have been built, and factories with low technical content like the agricultural machinery repair factory have emerged continuously, taking away a lot of business from the agricultural machinery repair factory of Ningwei Commune. His business volume has begun to decline gradually, and it is impossible to continue like this. The only way to get out of the predicament is to develop new products with higher technical content and better profits, but the leaders do not support his idea.
During this period of time, Lu Guanqiu has been worrying about this matter, until a friend recommended a book to him, which is "The Loess High Sky" written by Shen Long. When Lu Guanqiu first received this book, Guanqiu was still a little puzzled, what does a book about what happened on the Loess Plateau have anything to do with him?
But when he opened the book and read it, he was immediately attracted. Although the situation in Huangyuan is different from that in the local area, the hardships of farmers and entrepreneurs in starting a business are all figured out, and the problems they encounter are also very similar. The protagonist Qin Xue'an was just like him at the beginning of his business, lacking autonomy.
Qin Shaoan was bolder than him, borrowed a lot of foreign debts, and even mortgaged his own house in exchange for money to contract the original collective enterprise. After going through hardships, he finally walked out of his own path.
Lu Guanqiu was inspired by this film,
Finally made up his mind to obtain the right to start a business and run his own business, he took out seedlings worth 20,000 yuan from his private land and used them as collateral to contract the factory. The collective factory turned into a large multinational conglomerate.
In other parts of the country, countless people like Lu Guanqiu were inspired by Shen Long's book, thus avoiding many detours and calling this book the book of making money.
Even some high-level executives have noticed this book, from which they can more intuitively see the desire of farmers for a prosperous life, and realize that the sudden emergence of township enterprises is an enterprise with farmers as the main body, which is a major creation of farmers and the foundation of market economy The leading force is related to the vital interests of 900 million farmers.....
Many years later, Lu Guanqiu became the president of the National Association of Township Enterprises. Once when he was chairing a meeting, he accidentally mentioned this book, and immediately received enthusiastic responses. Many farmers and entrepreneurs took it out of their bags. This "Loess High Sky" has been published, and the editions of these books are different, and some are even pirated.
But all of them have been turned upside down, and when you open it carefully, there are notes made by these farmers and entrepreneurs. This book has witnessed the history of their hard work.
So much so that when the last part of "Loess High in the Sky" was published, many farmers and entrepreneurs put down their work and flew to the signing site from all over the country and even around the world. Ask Shen Long to sign the matter, and even give Shen Longan the title of farmer entrepreneur mentor.
Of course, all of this is in the future. Right now, Shen Long is busy advising Shaoan's factory. The brick and tile factory has brought huge profits to Shaoan. During this time, Shaoan has accumulated a lot of wealth. Not only have all the loans been paid off, but even a lot of net worth has been saved, which is enough to expand the scale of the enterprise.
In addition, the Sun family also ushered in a great event. Wang Manyin, who had been wandering outside for many years, was stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and went home obediently. He seemed to put away his wandering thoughts and began to feel at ease. Worked at home.
Seeing the prodigal son turned back made the Sun family very happy. Shaoan would not let his brother-in-law suffer in the field, so he dragged him to the brick and tile factory to help. According to Shen Long's suggestion, let Wang Manyin receive those customers who came to buy goods. Although Wang Yiyi hasn't made a name for himself in traveling all these years, his knowledge has increased a lot, so it's just right for him to do this.
Shaoan originally wanted to contract the brick and tile factory in the county to continue firing bricks. He was good at this, wasn't he? However, it was stopped by Shen Long. The brick and tile factory has low technical content, is very easy to copy, and the profit is not high. If it cannot become bigger and stronger, it will inevitably be at a disadvantage in the future competition.
So he brought up the old story again, and brought up the issue of the cement factory again. The cement factory has better technical content than the brick and tile factory, and the Shigejie Commune has the resources to burn cement, and it has some similarities with the brick and tile factory. The cement factory will not be completely blind to the mind.
Shaoan thought about it and accepted Shen Long's suggestion, "This is the rich product line you wrote in the book to avoid the business risks brought by a single product?" Well, he is also a loyal reader of this book.
"At the beginning, let's get a smaller one first, and I'll find a suitable machine for you." Shen Long has a Nobel-level chemical ability, and burning some cement is a piece of cake. He plans to let Shaoan burn ordinary cement to practice his hands first. , After the management ability and worker level reach the standard, I will get him some special cement formulas.
The profit of cement is higher than that of bricks and tiles, and the profit of special cement is higher than that of ordinary cement. Perhaps it will not take many years for Shaoan to become the richest man in Huangyuan, right?
