15: Big Projects
Lei Dongbao rode his bicycle and headed towards the county town. Along the way, he saw many village brigades running village businesses. Rather than enterprises, they were small family workshops, most of which were without technical content.
For example, breeding farms, brick factories, tile factories, and even some small wineries. Most of these are products in the primary stage. If the output value is larger, the annual output value is tens of thousands or even thousands, and the profit is extremely low. They are all models of small family workshops and are easily copied.
The prototype address of Xiao Lei’s family is in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area. This place has been a habit of doing business since ancient times. However, it has only been 79 years in front of you, and many villages dare not make big fuss. Most of them are just small-scale quarrels.
Lei Dongbao is actually not very clear about the future where Xiao Lei Family Village will be, because he is just an ordinary person with a few more skills. However, Lei Dongbao's courage to fight and dare to break through has given him endless confidence. He believes that he can definitely create a miracle for the Xiao Lei Family.
When he arrived in the county, Lei Dongbao went directly to the county government. He also came back a lot of people here. Lao Xu had no airs. As long as you can do things, he would support you and explain the policy to you clearly.
Unlike others, I have talked about a big principle after going around and around, and you have to guess it yourself. If you do it right, it is his credit. If you do it wrong, it is your own failure to understand it. You are a mediocre person!
In the world of big rivers, it is actually very surprising that a big man like Lei Dongbao can get into the relationship of Lao Xu. Lao Xu’s background is just a few sentences in the TV series, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that a man like Lao Xu is the one who lives the most casual life.
The family background was strong. He started as a factory leader at Jinzhou Chemical Factory, but later he was transferred directly to the county magistrate. He returned to Beijing a few years later and joined the ministries and commissions. Ten years later, he was already the deputy director of the Planning Commission. This kind of talent truly controls the overall situation.
The Little Lei family in Lei Dongbao is more like an experimental field for Lao Xu, because in Lao Xu's view, the country's reform and opening up has just begun, and everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones. Many places are too conservative, and the Little Lei family can take the lead in taking the first step, which is a kind of progress.
Old Xu was also a little confused about Lei Dongbao, but Old Xu still admired Lei Dongbao very much. This young man had a momentum of moving forward bravely.
Lei Dongbao arrived at Lao Xu's office. Lao Xu was still in a meeting. Secretary Chen Pingyuan came over to pour him a cup of tea. Lei Dongbao quickly stood up and took it, saying thank you.
Chen Pingyuan in front of me will be a veteran partner of Lei Dongbao, because the future county magistrate is this one. Later, he went in for some reason, and Lei Dongbao was also involved and squatted for two years. Of course, Lei Dongbao will definitely not follow the old path now because he doesn't need it.
Lei Dongbao smiled and chatted with Chen Pingyuan for a while. Chen Pingyuan was quite polite to Lei Dongbao. After all, he was a person who was optimistic about Lao Xu, and Chen Pingyuan was also very good at dealing with things. He knew that Lao Xu was optimistic about reform and opening up, so he tried his best to follow Lao Xu and had a very good attitude towards Lei Dongbao.
Lei Dongbao was also chatting with him while haha. People like Chen Pingyuan support Lei Dongbao on the surface, but in fact, they are also an old man with too much utilitarianism. In the future, due to academic qualifications, they cannot move forward, so they have gradually trapped themselves in.
After chatting for a while, Lao Xu finally finished the meeting and pushed open the office. When he saw Lei Dongbao, he did not laugh as usual. Instead, he put on a serious face and returned to his seat, waiting for Lei Dongbao to explain himself.
Lei Dongbao put down the teacup, laughed twice, took out a document from the briefcase, and handed it to Lao Xu.
Old Xu Mo looked at the file without saying a word, but did not open it, and raised his head to look directly at Lei Dongbao.
Seeing him like this, Lei Dongbao had no choice but to sit directly opposite him, knocked on the table aimlessly, and sighed.
"Old Xu, please put the matter of the brick factory first. When I go back, I will raise the price. My price cut is just to teach them a lesson. Besides, I really don't like the brick factory's three melons and two dates. I have a new project. Please look at my plan first!"
After hearing Lei Dongbao's words, Old Xu slapped the table and said a little angry.
"It's not about lowering prices or not lowering prices. Lei Dongbao, I think you have no overall view at all. There are so many brick factories in the county. If your family lowers prices like this, will other brick factories still have to eat? Your Xiao Lei family is famous now. When people talk about your Xiao Lei family, they think of cheap bricks. You have a very bad head. Do you know?"
Lei Dongbao laughed, actually wanting to say that this advertisement is actually pretty good. Nowadays, doing something extraordinary will cause a storm, but he also knows that he can't be too anxious, the time has not come.
After scolding Lao Xu, he was relieved. He picked up Lei Dongbao's plan and opened it and read it. When he saw it, his brows frowned. After a while, his brows stretched out again. He read a document worth less than 2,000 words for more than twenty minutes before he put it down. He was silent for a while before he spoke.
"Are you sure about the electric fan project?"
Lei Dongbao nodded and said directly.
"In fact, it is not difficult to manufacture an electric fan. The electric fan is simple in structure, composed of components such as fan head, wind blade, mesh cover and control device. The most difficult thing to solve is the motor inside the fan head. However, if you think of a solution, there are also some, because there is a motor factory in the county."
In fact, the electric fan structure in the 1980s and 1990s was extremely simple. Many famous electrical appliance brands in later generations, such as Midea, gradually developed from township enterprises like home workshops to world-class enterprises.
Moreover, Midea started with assembling electric fans. What Lei Dongbao had to do was to lead the Xiao Lei family and start with assembling electric fans. This path is not too difficult, and it is mainly because it is money fast.
How quickly does it take to make money when making electric fans?
In the early 1980s, the average salary was only 30 to 40 yuan, but an electric fan costs one or two hundred yuan. In this era, electric fans were definitely high-end goods. The cost of electric fans was not high, and the most expensive one was the electric motor.
Many people in later generations missed the good quality of electrical appliances in the 1980s and 1990s. If they spent half a year to buy an electric fan, the quality would be bad. It would be strange if the company selling electric fans was not scolded to death by the people of the whole country.
The accessories of electric fans can be purchased in batches when going to Guangdong Province. The most scarce electric fan motor needs support from the county motor factory. As long as the county provides loan support and some technical talents, Xiao Lei’s family will have electric fans on the market as soon as next year.
Moreover, in Lei Dongbao's view, as long as the Xiao Lei family makes its first pot of gold and develops other industries later, they can enter the fast lane and electric fan manufacturing is just the first step.
When Old Xu saw Lei Dongbao's plan, he was shocked and excited. He did not expect that an ordinary farmer would have such vision and vision.
He thought about the Lei Dongbao project for a long time and felt that it was very feasible. Then he asked Lei Dongbao some questions, and Lei Dongbao also drew a big cake for him. As long as the county supports him, Xiao Lei's electric fan can start distribution in the early spring next year. Moreover, Lei Dongbao predicted that as long as the county supports him, the output value of the first year will exceed one million, ensuring that the county will have a good start.
Lao Xu was able to exceed one million annual output value in the first year. This big cake was so exciting that he jumped a little, stood up, stepped back and forth in the office several times, and finally slapped the table and said seriously.
Chapter completed!
