Lu Jinming's company came to do masks in person, and it was just a few words to say, but in fact, the complicated procedures are certainly indispensable.

The most direct faced is the qualification problem. In fact, he found a company with relevant certificates and licenses to appoint it, and finally passed the packaging quality inspection.

Anyone who knows this is understandable. Not all companies have qualified to produce medical devices. Lu Jinming's company did have the qualifications to produce all raw materials, textiles, and even ready-to-wear shoes and hats.

However, once these textiles are classified as medical supplies, such as masks and protective clothing, even if the technical content is not high, they must be specialized companies, otherwise they will not comply with the rules.

Fortunately, Gu Zhe doesn’t have to worry about these tedious things. There is a coordinated relationship like Lu Jinming, so there is nothing to go into details.

Lu Jinming thought that as long as the quality is strictly controlled, the product will have practical problems and the qualifications will be fully qualified. In an emergency, no one will target him specifically - unless he is really targeted by his enemies, he is deliberately trying to use a magnifying glass to calculate.

The first batch of masks left the factory on February 10 and completed the quality inspection and procedures, and then they were shipped to Guangdong Province.

In 2003, there was no developed air transportation logistics, and the train was inconvenient. The route from Jiangxi and Fujian to Guangdong Province had to go to Hubei and Hunan to turn around. So it was better to use a car, and it was not bad for the past few days.

The local area was not nervous at this time, and its response speed was definitely incomparable to 17 years later. If outsiders make too big a move, they will be regarded as ulterior motives.

The first batch of goods was transferred on the road for a total of three or four days, ensuring that all of them were donated to major front-line hospitals on February 14. Small local hospitals were scattered and sent to the Health Bureau, and there were special people to cook.

When Lu Jinming's freight arrived, it was the critical moment when other rumors were flying everywhere. Starting from February 11, the public media were finally allowed to start reporting related news. They no longer required bans, but instead began to promote and promote people to pay attention to hygiene.

As a result, the next day, rumors of special effects of isatis root and white vinegar began to spread. The pack of isatis roots was fried to about forty, and the same amount of white vinegar that costs more than ten yuan per bottle can be sold for seventy or eighty.

In contrast, Mingyuan International’s masks are still very conscientious. The part they are donated to the hospital is nothing to say. It only costs more than 4 yuan per sold directly to retailers.

The main reason was that there was no national standard at that time, and meltblown cloth masks were not included in the guide price. The cost of meltblown cloth in 2003 was much higher than that in 2017 years, so it was reasonable.

After 17 years, the benchmark price of meltblown fabric was only 5,000 yuan per ton (not counted during the surge), while the benchmark price of fabric at that time was 30,000 yuan per ton, which was six times different. According to the proportion, the cost of selling for 50 cents per in later generations was three yuan.

Moreover, the amount of meltblown cloth masks in 2003 will be more than that in later generations. Gu Zhe also analyzed the technical reasons, because the diameter of the spinneret emitted by the meltblown machine was one order of magnitude thicker, and the accuracy was insufficient, and it was not possible to achieve spinnerets below 5 microns.

This is a very easy-to-understand truth: the silk that makes up the cloth becomes thicker, and the cloth of the same area will of course become thicker and heavier. In later generations, ordinary medical masks that can be made with more than 1 gram of fabric are now several grams.

These are also costs, so the retail price on the market is considered to be a reasonable small profit but quick turnover.

Of course, the main reason for the high cost of meltblown fabrics is that the machines are too expensive and need to recover depreciation - meltblown fabrics are products that appeared in the early 1990s, and related patent technologies foreign companies gradually completed the layout between 1991 and 1994.

Therefore, theoretically, according to the 20-year patent protection period, from 2011 to 2014, meltblown fabrics and meltblown machines will be protected one after another, and then they will plummet because there is no intellectual property attached to it, which can be legally counterfeit.

In the early 21st century, no one bought meltblown fabrics in China, and there were also considerations in this regard. At that time, there was no emphasis on intellectual property protection, and counterfeits were popular.

Most industry insiders think about it, "Anyway, it's just a fabric. If it's too expensive now, it's definitely not a consumer pays for it. Hold on to not wear it for 20 years. After 2011, you can get free access to general technology without paying for it."

As for the fact that I couldn't bear it for 20 years, I couldn't help but something happened in the middle, which is not something that normal people can predict.

...

In such an environment, Lu Jinming's conscientious price mask was of course immediately rushed to buy it.

On average, the factory has to take a truckload of goods to Guangdong Province every three or four days, and as soon as it arrives, the distributors get the goods out of the goods. When the distributors resell them, many people sell them much higher than the original price, and Lu Jinming can't control it. After all, they are thousands of miles apart and there are not so many people to worry about it.

Fortunately, after the first one or two weeks, other genuine manufacturers of medical devices also began to enter the market, so Lu Jinming's masks that needed to be produced by himself soon accounted for only a small part. At least 80% of the meltblown cloth in the factory were shipped directly to the outside world and processed into masks by others.

Some corporate customers took advantage of Lu Jinming's channel and found that they could not get in line with the goods, so they asked him to contact the company in Fusang and directly transport it to the air import.

Lu Jinming is also very righteous. Anyway, he is in short supply and does not do a complete business. With a moral attitude, he also reveals the information of his Fuso suppliers to his customers.

It is equivalent to allowing your customers to bypass them and contact their home directly, which is very open in the mall.

However, due to the temporary shortage of supply, other costs of turnover procedures are required. In addition, Fuso finished cloth is several times more expensive, and it is time to seize the opportunity. The domestic market price of meltblown cloth has also temporarily soared.

Selling cloth is no longer like selling medical devices directly. Even in later generations, masks cannot be raised at will, and no one cares about the price of general raw materials such as cloth.

Because we are facing enterprise-level customers, it is a 2B business, and there are no end consumers. If you are talking about business, you will get the highest price.

As long as the buyer who buys cloth is well controlled, it can ensure that the final finished products for end consumers do not have a significant increase in price, and upstream companies cannot control it.

When meltblown cloth was in a tight situation in later generations, it rose from 5,000 yuan per ton in two months to 170,000 yuan, and at its peak six months later, it reached more than 400,000 yuan, up thirty to eighty times respectively.

The meltblown cloth is not that exaggerated now, but within two months, it gradually increased from 30,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan, which is as much as it can be.

Lu Jinming did some calculations. Originally, his machines had to be continuously produced for two and a half years, and they had to ensure that all the goods were sold out and not unsold, so that all the preliminary investment could be recovered, and the subsequent profit would be pure profit.

Now, because the shipment price has increased by five times, the return time for early machine investment can be shortened to four to five months.

Of course, if industry peers see meltblown fabrics making so much money, they will definitely find ways to follow up.

However, the transmission of this basic industry chain is slow, and the hot money is the first sight to be "buy cloth masks directly". The technical content of this thing is at least one level lower, which is faster and faster.

Only when you find that the cloth is so expensive that it is not profitable to buy cloth to produce masks, and you cannot find any other quick solutions, so you will make up your mind to make cloth.

This will take at least one or two months of transmission, and then it will take more than a month to buy machines, arrive, and debug production lines.

So when domestic peers enter, it will be at least in May of that year. The second wave of peers who responded slightly slower will be in July.

Lu Jinming can do business exclusively between February and May, and his chemical fiber company produces meltblown fabrics in China.

...

The meltblown cloth business can be done for a long time. Gu Zhe originally only pointed out a way to his girlfriend's family in this matter. Later, the other party insisted that he also invested in a machine and placed a bet to increase mutual trust. Then he followed up and threw the machine to the Lu family for custody.

Throughout February, the country was nervous about new unknown diseases and was temporarily limited to Guangdong Province.

The response was slow at that time, and there was no feeling in Beijing or Donghai.

Therefore, the new semester of university must start normally and attend classes normally.

There were a lot of activities at the beginning of school, so Gu Zhe had to focus on his studies first, and he could ask about it every ten days and half a month at most to see how much the machine he hosted earned.

The only thing Gu Zhe and the people around him can do is wear masks every day, even in class. Anyway, they have production at home, and the quality is absolutely up to standard, which is much better than gauze masks on the market.

This style must not be understood at the beginning, and he felt that he was a bit too survival crazy. For this reason, the school also asked the counselor to talk to him in a tactful way, asking him not to "create panic".

When the counselor from the environmental hospital talked to Lu Youyou, he said it more bluntly, implying that she "knows that this is produced by your company, so don't wear it every day in order to promote your own products and create a sense of presence and exposure."

After all, I thought Lu Youyou was endorsing a spokesperson for advertising.

Fortunately, this conversation has no compulsory effect. Everyone explained that "we have respiratory allergies recently", so no one stopped it.

During this period, some other scientific research and business projects that Gu Zhe had promoted a few years ago have also made new progress.

The authorization strategic cooperation agreed upon by Haichang Glasses has finally been completely finalized for details. In the end, the other party decided to purchase four years of patent use authorization, which is two million a year, totaling eight million.

A few days ago, Haichang paid Gu Zhe only two million, and now he added another two million. The last four million was also required to pay before the end of May, which means to give a three-month account period.

In order to get the money as soon as possible, Gu Zhe allowed the other party to "exclusively" authorize it for four years, otherwise he would either sell it or authorize it normally. So it is completely fine to talk about it like this, and the other party understands and accepts it.

In addition, Gu Zhe had a chemistry laboratory in the school that he rented last semester, and he would continue to rent it this semester. Even after Gu Zhe became rich, he rented an extra room.

He also purchased some equipment himself, similar to the actual production equipment of the contact lens centrifuge he bought last year. In this way, he could direct Kong Chaofan and Wu Danqing to continue to start construction and further optimize the invention of the "centrifugal contact lens material" that he had already applied for.

Anyway, Gu Zhe is proficient in patent law, and the rights request he submitted when he first applied for the first time was written very cleverly, and some correction allowance was also left in the manual. Therefore, he can use the domestic priority opportunity "within 12 months after the first application" to make a detailed correction.

Finally, Liu Kai, who had been spared by Gu Zhe before, and the senior seniors from the computer school he brought to him, were recently arrested by Gu Zhe and asked to write shopping website codes in an urgent manner. At the same time, a lot of red envelope bonuses were also distributed to inspire everyone's morale to sprint for work.

Originally, Gu Zhe could not say why he was in a hurry to write a shopping website, but now the reason has come to the forefront. He can say it openly, that is, "He predicted that the epidemic will lead to a new wave of e-commerce and reduce the frequency of physical contact between people."

After Liu Kai and others knew the meaning of their work, their confusion was wiped out, and the efficiency of writing code was naturally improved.

Gu Zhe spent more than half a month to deal with these complicated and complicated things after school started, and his studies were not delayed.

As time entered early March, he finally got free and had time to ask his girlfriend to go out for fun.

He was also worried that the unknown disease would spread and the management of Donghai Province would become more and more strict, so he planned to look for a house in the provincial capital and near the university to facilitate the future if the school is closed, it would be better than his life outside the school to live in seclusion.

On Saturday morning, March 1, early on Saturday morning, the two met at the appointment location, and Lu Youyou received a call from her father.

On the phone, Lu Jinming talked to her about some of the business difficulties that her family had just encountered yesterday, and wanted Lu Youyou and Gu Zhe to work together to help and think of solutions.

It can be seen that Lu Jinming already trusted his son-in-law very much. Although Gu Zhe's suggestions were based on luck and made him earn a lot of money, he believed that Gu Zhe had all kinds of talents and knew a little about everything, so that when there were difficult things now, he would think of the whole family discussing together.

Lu Youyou didn't know how troublesome the matter was at first, so he asked slowly: "Dad, it's the weekend, Ah Che and I are going to see the house. What should we do if we need to solve urgently on the weekend? Can we call back in the evening?"

Lu Jinming: "I didn't expect you to solve it, I just let you know. There was a problem with the supply of polypropylene raw materials in our house. I blamed me for being careless. I clearly signed a long-term underwriting cooperation with Chen Jingcheng before the end of January, and at that time I also urged to withdraw more than 20 tons of polypropylene.

It has been sprayed for five weeks now, and it is almost used up, and there is only one week left for raw materials. I urged Chen Jingcheng to use the people under him once last week, but they said that the ordering process should be followed and the old customers should be given priority. It is not that they will not ship the goods.

We also said that our agreement was signed just a few days ago, and the company has to follow the process. This kind of long-term contract is given priority for old customers who have already scheduled a stable schedule."

Gu Zhe vaguely heard it on the phone, and quickly took Lu Youyou's cell phone, and said directly: "Uncle, polypropylene is not a rare raw material. I remember this thing is easy to make, so I don't have to ask about refining and purchasing goods."

Lu Jinming: "The truth is this truth, and I didn't pay attention to it at first. When they first promised that the process could be completed, I didn't look for other more expensive channels.

The key now is that time is easy to be cut off. You go to other places to negotiate, sign contracts, and get goods, and it won’t be that fast. The meltblown fabric production line may have to be stopped for at least one week.

Now, there are local sources of goods in Mingzhou. The daily emergency inventory of refining was bought by another long-term major customer of Chen Jingcheng. I knew what he was going to do, and he also hinted that if he was in a hurry, he could add money to his big customer to buy second-hand goods, it was nothing to do with him. It was free market, free negotiation."

Gu Zhe was already feeling very excited when he heard this. Chen Jingcheng saw that his downstream customers were making a lot of money and had to get stuck in the raw materials.

Polypropylene is not rare, but it is still rare at a specific time and place, especially when the customer is stabilized and delayed time.

It seems that the sequelae of refusing Lu Youyou and Chen Tao's marriage during the winter vacation will be retribution immediately.
