The entire factory is extremely large, with the warehouse covering an area of dozens of acres. There are mountains of tires inside, including tens of thousands of bicycle and trolley tires alone.
Zheng Bajin suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, glanced at Li Yang, and said: "You are an expert on this, take a look and see if it is broken. If there is no big problem, you can make do with it."
Li Yang nodded, randomly picked out one from the pile, looked at it, pinched it a few times with his hands, pulled hard, nodded, and said: "It should be more than one year old in stock. It can be used." , but the wear-resistant time won’t be too long.”
When Manager Dong heard this, he was a little anxious. He looked at Li Yang and said, "Brother, you have to understand that the storage time is not that long, only a few months, and it will not affect its use."
"It will not affect the use, but the safety is definitely not as good as the newly produced ones." Zheng Bajin said.
This is an excuse to bargain, and of course I won’t let it go. As a businessman, you should do everything you can to maximize your profits, and you can't control whether other people's companies can survive for the time being.
"Let's make it cheaper. It costs ten yuan a set, and the inner and outer tires are provided for you. It can't be any lower, otherwise the workers will scold you." Manager Dong made the biggest concession.
Zheng Bajin pondered for a moment, glanced at Manager Dong, and knew that this was his bottom line. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just think of it as doing you a favor. For the sake of the workers in the entire factory, let them have something to do." Looking forward to a deal."
The matter was finally settled. Zheng Bajin asked Li Yang to hire two people to help count the tires. It was agreed in advance that if they were not usable, they would be returned.
Of course, Manager Dong knew that these were all good tires, and it was reasonable for a few to be out of specification occasionally, so he stopped worrying and agreed, calling a few workers to help count them.
…
I was busy until the evening before I finished counting the tires. Manager Dong helped contact the cars and brought them all to Zheng Bajin's factory.
According to statistics, there are a total of 5,000 sets of tires, which means that 5,000 bicycles can be assembled.
Originally, he wanted to take away some trolley tires, but Zheng Bajin knew his family's financial situation and could not afford so much money at the moment. He paid the fare, and Manager Dong asked him to pay for the tires.
Zheng Bajin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll pay you five thousand yuan first, and I'll pick it up for you when the bank opens tomorrow. As you know, things happened suddenly, there was no preparation, and the bank was closed. Don't worry, Since I have opened a factory, there is no way I can’t even afford this amount of money.”
Manager Dong hesitated for a few seconds and could only agree.
Putting aside the fact that Zheng Bajin said that the bank was closed and closed for business, Zheng Bajin would not cheat him. They have such a big factory. Although it has not started yet, it has all the machines and can run like a monk. Can't go to the temple.
After seeing off Manager Dong, Zheng Bajin looked at the few people temporarily invited to help unload the tires and asked them to carry the goods in first.
Wang Yan was a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect Zheng Bajin to get so many tires so quickly. Is this the same person who pursued her back then?
Li Yang also looked at Zheng Bajin and said, "Brother, do you really have so much money? This batch of goods alone costs 50,000 yuan!"
"Don't worry. If you don't have so much money and don't dare to do such a big thing, these wheels shouldn't affect the use?" Zheng Bajin smiled and answered noncommittally.
"It doesn't matter. Generally, the life of tires is about five years. The production time of these tires is only one year. It will not be a problem to use them for another four years." Li Yang nodded.
Wang Yan had already left to help the workers move the tires.
The car also drove out, and only Zheng Bajin and Li Yang were left, both of whom were on their own. Zheng Bajin told the truth: "Then it's okay. Even if the factory can't open, you and I will sit on the roadside." You have to make a lot of money from retail. Besides, our first batch of bicycles are for farmers. They use them to carry grain and walk on dirt roads. They need to replace them with new ones in less than four years."
Li Yang nodded, feeling that Zheng Bajin's words were reasonable. He looked at him and nodded, saying, "Then what do you do next?"
"You don't have to do anything. Just watch the factory and wait for the tripod to arrive. In the past two days, besides paying attention to recruiting talents, I just went to see where there is a factory that produces steel drills. First, get a few hundred and assemble them. After the batch is sold, some of the funds will be withdrawn first." What Zheng Bajin thinks is that if there is no steel drill manufacturer, he has to ask Ms. Na to help contact him. It is best to get it on credit and pay after the goods are sold, otherwise , the money in hand is really not enough.
Having no money is really life-threatening. I have never felt that money is so important.
Li Yang nodded and said, "Then I will help move the tires now."
Zheng Bajin nodded and said, "I'll leave it to you. By the way, I'll collect the workers' money later."
As he said that, he took out a hundred yuan, handed it to Li Yang's hand, and said: "With the rest, go get some wires and debug the machine.
In fact, this machine is not difficult to operate. Li Yang knows all about the production chain. As long as the raw materials are supplied, production can be done in minutes.
It is said that this is a bicycle factory, but it is actually a chain processing factory. As for assembly, no machines are needed at all, just an adjustable wrench and a screwdriver. When the time comes, it can be done by finding a few intern students.
What Zheng Bajin needs to do now is to find out if there are any manufacturers that produce flywheels and front forks?
In his impression, Chunkun did not. It seemed that there was a county called Ning'an about ten kilometers away from Chunkun. There were not only large and small flywheel factories, but also a front fork production base, and even the largest one in the province. The steel works are there too.
In the 21st century, Spring Steel in Ning'an County has become the largest steel plant in the country, especially steel bars, which not only have the best quality, but also have a first-class reputation.
Zheng Bajin decided to go to Ning'an the next day.
However, before leaving, he wanted to visit the technical school and talk to Wang Liqi, asking him to bring talents to his factory for internship and help him complete the assembly of the first batch of bicycles.
Just as he was about to leave, a dark man suddenly appeared in front of Zheng Bajin's factory. He looked at Lao Wang and said, "Uncle, is Zheng Bajin here?"
Just as Lao Wang was about to answer, Zheng Bajin had already appeared at the door, looked at Shen Dong and said, "Classmate, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Brother Zheng, you are here as expected." Shen Dong said happily, "I am here this time to thank you for your help that day. I heard that you are going to produce bicycles, so I stopped by to see if there is anything I can do to help? "
"Oh, who did you hear that from?" Zheng Bajin had already guessed the answer. It must have been said by Wang Liqi. The student union is directly under the management of the Student Affairs Office. It is not surprising that Wang Liqi and Shen Dong have the most contact.
"Director Wang said, I asked him to find out where you are now? He said that you are now preparing to produce bicycles. Let me pay attention. Does any classmate know where the best bicycle accessories are?" Shen Dong said with a smile.
The one who knows me is none other than Brother Liqi!
Zheng Bajin sighed secretly, and suddenly thought, looking at this kid's smile, he must have a way in this field, so he smiled and said: "Exactly, I am worried about not being able to find a factory that produces flywheels and front forks. If you You know, that would be great, it is like providing help in times of need and it helps me a lot.”
