On the same day, just as Shui Qing and Xiao Ying set out to play, Hong Yanwu, "Achang" and "Dabao" took a taxi and rushed to Xintang Town in Zengcheng County.
At 10:30 in the morning, the three of them appeared in front of the gate of "Aihua Garment Factory".
This is today's destination.
They came here to find sources of goods that could replace "Gaudy Street" in the short term.
According to "Achang"'s introduction, this garment factory was established by the town commerce joint management association.
It and the "Jiehua Garment Factory" run by the town government are currently the only two enterprises in the town with jeans manufacturing capabilities, and they are also the only two rural enterprises.
And because the Commercial Joint Management Association has unique advantages in the commercial field and wide channels, it can often get orders from foreign businessmen.
So gradually, the division of labor between this factory and the town government's factory was clearly different.
One is responsible for external foreign exchange earnings, and the other is responsible for internal sales.
However, according to "Achang"'s opinion, although the quality of the clothing produced by the "Aihua" factory is better than that of the "Jiehua" factory and the styles are also new, it is not that easy to find the goods here.
Because the nature of foreign OEM trade has determined the need to use foreign exchange settlement, if the domestic sales are made in RMB, the factory director will not be able to keep up with the boss.
In addition, the company's production tasks are also very tight. Because the quality is strictly controlled, the customers are all repeat customers. There are so many orders that we can never finish them. Now we are planning to build a branch factory.
Here, if you spend all your time and effort, I'm afraid you can only get a hundred or ten defective products in stock.
It would be better to focus on the "Jiehua" factory.
It was different there. Not only did he know the factory director, but the warehouse director of that factory was also a distant relative of his.
The reason why "Liben'er" can still get a small amount of low-priced jeans is actually this way.
And now the seasons have also changed. Guangdong, in the far south, has taken the lead in changing seasons.
Then the number of people who buy jeans these days can only be wholesaled to northerners, so there must be a decrease.
So although "Jiehua" jeans are still in short supply, there must still be room for deployment.
The ready stock in the warehouse will be given priority to them.
It has to be said that "Achang" is completely considering Hong Yanwu. Anyone who listens to this suggestion will definitely find it a good deal.
But unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu just smiled and insisted on going to "Aihua" first before talking.
It's so good, but it's hard to do things, and it's useless even if you're exhausted.
Seeing Hong Yanwu's determined expression, "A Chang" stopped trying to persuade him and instead called from the communication room to try to contact the factory director's office.
To say that we are really lucky, the people in the factory director's office did not give them a thumbs-down when they heard that customers came to the capital.
In this way, their party was allowed to enter the factory.
The area of this factory is quite large, with two factories each covering an area of 2,000 square meters.
Opposite the factory building, tens of meters away, is a beautiful small office building with a corridor.
In the middle area between the factory and the office building, there is a pool with a crane sculpture.
It is obvious that the affluent style brought to this rural enterprise by successive years of export revenue has been vividly reflected in the iconic architectural style.
As a result, his style has been raised to a higher level, and he can even catch up with county-level factories.
What is even more surprising is that there is a "BMW" luxury car parked in front of the office building.
Needless to say, unlike "Achang" and "Dabao" who still don't know what this brand is, Hong Yanwu is really a little excited.
Because he never imagined that he would see the German "BMW" for the first time here in his life.
I couldn't help but think about it more deeply, and I felt even more emotional.
Because except him, no one at this time can realize what Xintang will be like in the future.
In just thirty years, this place has become a veritable jeans capital of the world with thousands of factories and high-rise buildings.
In the future, hundreds of thousands of local and migrant workers will gather here to work in the jeans industry or jeans accessories industry.
Jeans production here will account for 60% of national jeans production and one-third of global production.
Although the cost of pollution is inevitable, this is a different matter.
The most important thing is that nowhere in the world will there be development as fast as ours.
People in no other country can rely on their own hands like us to transform an industry from the lowest level of processing work to the entire industry chain in just a few decades.
This is the power of reform and opening up, and it is also an economic miracle that only the hard-working Chinese people can create.
Don’t forget, at this moment, there are only two rural enterprises engaged in jeans manufacturing here.
This is where we start together.
And unintentionally, he was already one of them...
On the second floor, an office director named Wang came out to receive them. It was he who answered the phone call just now.
However, before "Achang" representative Hong Yanwu could explain his intention, Director Wang expressed his apology.
"Gentlemen, please sit down and drink tea first. Our factory director is inspecting the goods in the workshop with the German merchants."
Only then did Hong Yanwu understand the origin of the "Don't Touch Me" car downstairs.
He also knew that this matter must be important, so he sat down calmly and chatted slowly with Director Wang, asking about the production situation of the factory.
Director Wang saw that they were all well-dressed, carrying Hong Kong-style leather bags, and smoking "Chinese" cigarettes.
He didn't dare to neglect, so he said everything he could and kept adding tea.
Even Hong Yanwu's request to visit the "pattern-making room" was met, and he was personally taken around.
This is the primary stage of commodity economy, with no awareness of commercial secrets.
This went on for nearly an hour, and when the sound of a car engine starting downstairs finally came from downstairs, mixed with the voices of some people, Hong Yanwu knew that the factory director was probably almost done.
So when a few words similar to "goodbye" sounded in German, he deliberately winked at "Dabao" and then imitated the tone of the painter Augustine and said lines from the movie "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth".
"Okay, the Germans are all gone. There's no one on the street."
Unexpectedly, "Dabao" also had a good brain and picked up his lines very fluently.
"Then let's go. I'll take him to my house."
Hong Yanwu quickly pretended to be solemn and said the next sentence.
"No, the Germans might come to your house."
At this point, both of them were laughing in tacit understanding.
Only "A Chang" and Director Wang were confused.
There is no way, Cantonese people never make such jokes, it is indeed difficult to understand what they are talking about.
