Chapter 74: Don’t you have confidence in yourself?
Fan Heng walked around the various workshops of the glass factory and felt very good. This time he came here, his mood was very different from the previous few times.
Brand new machinery and equipment and production lines, the energetic workers, packed boxes of packed crystal glass artworks were transported to the truck by forklifts and ready to set off at any time. Fan Heng was told by the old workers that most of the goods here were exported.
"Mayor Fan, the goods we have here are basically exported." The old worker introduced to Fan Heng.
"Export?" Fan Heng pondered for a moment and asked, "If it was sold abroad, there would definitely be a lot of bumps on the road. Can these things withstand it?"
Fan Heng means that crystal glass products are easy to break after all, and after being transported by cars, trains, planes and ships along the way, it will inevitably cause damage. Once the degree of damaged products exceeds a certain proportion, the business may not make money or even lose money. I just don’t know how Panshi Glass Factory handles this aspect?
The old worker laughed and ordered the two apprentices to say, "Open the box and let Mayor Fan take a look at our packaging process."
"No, it will be very troublesome-" Fan Heng shirked.
Seeing the large wooden box one meter square, nailed tightly by iron nails, it would definitely be quite troublesome if it was to be opened. Of course, Fan Heng didn't want the workers to spend more time just to take a look at the packaging inside.
However, the influence in the workshop was obviously much greater than that of Fan Heng. The two apprentices immediately opened the wooden box, and their movements were so quick that even Fan Heng didn't notice where they started.
"You guys here are so quick-witted." Fan Heng couldn't help but praise him.
At this time, I saw the packaging inside. Unlike ordinary glassware packaging, there were neatly arranged two layers of upper and lower layers, a total of eight cardboard boxes. The old worker took out a box casually and opened it in front of Fan Heng. He saw a layer of foam soft packaging inside, and then a brocade box packaging of varying sizes. After opening it, it was the crafts wrapped in the inflatable soft leather bag.
In order to prevent handicrafts from getting dirty during transportation, a layer of plastic film like plastic wrap was specially applied to the outside. On each small brocade box packaging, the product number barcode is printed, which is completely compiled according to the international common product barcode rules, and is very suitable for sale in foreign supermarkets.
"This kind of packaging can indeed minimize damage, but the cost of packaging alone is very large." Fan Heng commented after reading it.
"That's not all. Mayor Fan, please look at the bottom of the big wooden box." The old worker then asked Fan Heng to look at the bottom of the wooden box.
I saw that there were shock-proof leather pads on the four corners of the bottom end of the large wooden box, which could reduce the vibration to an acceptable level even during transportation.
Fan Heng thought in his mind that the whole set of packaging would cost about a few hundred yuan, so how much can this set of things be bought? I think it would not be too small. Judging from his son Fan Wubing's fierce means of squeezing profits, it would be worth at least a few thousand yuan.
"How much does it cost to sell this box of goods to the United States?" Fan Heng asked casually.
"This box is considered an ordinary product, which costs about 2,000 US dollars. If it is a high-end product, there are tens of thousands of dollars. If it is a carefully crafted custom item, the price is not accurate. Of course, the higher the price, the smaller the audience, but selling one item is the best!" the old worker replied with a smile.
Fan Heng nodded repeatedly after hearing this, thinking that the glass factory has turned over, and Panshi's tax revenue has turned over. But when he turned around, he had to ask his son Fan Wubing, how much money can he make from the glass factory? Last time someone asked someone to have a showdown with the glass factory, it seemed that the given number was a little low. Next time he had a chance, he would have to pay more. He would not eat such a big family, and he, a father, also felt that he had failed in life!
In fact, it is too easy for Fan Wubing and others to make money, right?
Fan Heng conservatively estimated that just the ordinary cargo box, the glass factory, who had more than 2,000 US dollars, would have to make 1,800 US dollars! Not to mention a few high-value boxes! Black, it's so black!
Unfortunately, the sales volume of this thing will not be very high, otherwise it would be killed! Even so, the workers at Panshi Glass Factory are now changing their guns and cannons. It is impossible to tell that they were still lying on tracks because they had no food or drink last year. But from the young men who changed their clothes after work, Fan Heng could see that they really made money, otherwise how could they wear casual clothes worth hundreds of dollars?
You know, the salary of ordinary workers is only a few hundred yuan a month.
"Your prospects are very good. In a few years, I'm afraid there are not many factories in the entire Wangtian Province that can beat you." Fan Heng was in a good mood and couldn't help looking forward to the bright future of Panshi Glass Factory, and said with some ambition.
"Yes, as long as the policy does not change, everyone will have a chance." The old worker said with some emotion.
Fan Heng felt a little hesitant when he thought of the previous storms, but he still smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Deng said that it will remain unchanged for a hundred years, and good days will come."
"Mr. Deng is also 90 years old-fashioned—" the old worker muttered.
Uh, Fan Heng was speechless and thought to himself that you are really telling the truth, but his eyes were quickly attracted by a young man opposite him. The young man was trimming a statue of a goddess, his skillful hands were very fast, but he was just a long and long face, but he didn't know why.
"That young man is good at craftsmanship, why do you look unhappy?" Fan Heng pointed to the young man and asked the old worker.
When the old worker saw the young man over there, he understood what was going on, so he patted his forehead and said to Fan Heng, "This matter is a bit difficult to say." Then he explained the matter to Fan Heng.
It turns out that this young man is engaged in the processing of crystal dolls and also has some designs. He is a knowledgeable worker. In the overall strategy of Fan Wubing and Wuzhi Xiaoji, crystal dolls are a flagship product that has entered the Japanese market, so they are relatively advanced in design and packaging.
The so-called advancement means that for the sake of the Japanese taste, the dolls are basically naked, and the crystal texture, plus the dozen handmade silk clothes on the outside, forming a set of high-end dolls. If twelve dolls of different shapes are packaged into a set, they will become a collection of crystal dolls. This thing is very popular in Japan, so the workers who process this kind of dolls have technically selected the best in the factory. The young man is able to do this job at a young age, which is enough to illustrate the problem.
It is technically difficult, of course, it is quite superior in terms of salary and benefits. Although the young man's salary is not high, the bonus is quite high, which is twice as high as that of ordinary employees. It is considered a high-paying family.
A while ago, the young man got along with him. Recently, because the business of the glass factory is getting better and better, and the young man's salary and benefits are higher. The girl is worried that he will dump him when his conditions are better, so she is ready to get the marriage done quickly.
The young man was very excited when he heard this. In order to express his excitement, he made a set of crystal dolls he was processing and gave them to the girl. This thing was specially approved by Wu Zhi Xiaoji, who knew that the young man was about to get married, otherwise he would not be able to see it in the domestic market.
As a result, the matter broke out on these dozen dolls. After the girl received the packaging box, she took it home directly and opened it in front of her relatives and friends. As a result, the dolls were naturally not wearing any clothes. When the men, women, young and old saw it, their expressions were different.
Anyway, everyone’s thinking is not very open-minded these days, so they all say everything. Many people even urged girls and young men to brag about it. They all said that this thing is definitely not a good way. Over time, people learn bad things and are not good at playing around. Fortunately, they are not married yet. If they regret it after getting married, it would be too late!
"So the girl is a little confused. After all, people are so terrifying, but it turns out that way, and the marriage cannot be done. The young man feels very bad." The old worker said with some emotion.
"This matter really makes people wonder what to say--" Fan Heng was also a little amused when he heard the cause and effect.
"What are you talking about? It's so exciting?" Fan Wubing and Wu Zhixiaoji had already walked over. Seeing his father Fan Heng and the others talking here, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What's the matter? It's not something you did!" Fan Heng said angrily.
Fan Wubing asked carefully and found out the reason. He felt a little confused. He scratched his head and said, "That girl, I guess she has no confidence in herself after seeing the figure of the crystal doll, right?"
Now, not only Fan Heng and others were speechless to Fan Wubing, but also the young man who was working there was a little angry at Fan Wubing after hearing this.
