Chapter 94 Small factory, 3 ships?
The factory area is not large and is filled with the smell of plastic.
At the entrance of the factory, you can see seven or eight workers sitting on the ground chatting.
The factory, which was about 300 square meters in size, was filled with various machines, but no one was seen working.
Fifty meters away from the factory building is a two-story self-built house.
If placed outdoors, it would be similar to a self-built house in the countryside.
But here, there's a sign hanging in the middle: Office Area.
Judging from the size of the factory area and the lazy workers, this place doesn't look very profitable.
The appearance of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class also attracted the attention of the workers.
They hadn't even started work yet; they were just sitting in the open space outside, smoking and bragging.
With such an eye-catching SUV driving by, it's no wonder it gets noticed.
Instantly, everyone craned their necks, their faces showing curiosity.
"A G-Wagon!"
"Is this a new car the boss bought?"
"Our factory hasn't had any orders for two months. Where is the boss going to get the money?"
"Do you think it could be a customer?"
"If it were a customer, we might be able to start production and get piecework wages again."
"With so many small factories on the market, why would a big boss choose an unknown company like ours?"
"Exactly, if the big boss were interested in us, would he be sitting here bragging?"
"I think the factory will go bankrupt next month."
"Sigh, everyone, let's all find our own way to make a living."
"..."
A group of workers were talking loudly, their faces showing confusion about the future.
Given the current situation, it will probably close down and go bankrupt within three months.
As another worker said, there are so many factories on the market, and their machines and production capacity are all superior to theirs.
Why choose them, an unknown small factory?
The factory has currently stopped production and is barely surviving by selling off its inventory.
However, they can only sell some online orders, and the volume is not large, so it is really difficult to sustain.
Actually, in the past, their sales were decent, and many anglers would buy them.
However, as more and more manufacturers emerge in the market, anglers' equipment is also being upgraded.
Their small boats, still stuck with technology from twenty years ago, are no longer competitive.
[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...
That means only the cheap and good quality option is left, which is why they occasionally receive some online orders.
But this is just a drop in the ocean and cannot be sustained at all.
They wanted to improve, but the factory didn't have the money to upgrade its technology or introduce more advanced machines.
The boss isn't making money, and the workers aren't getting performance bonuses, so nobody's motivated.
This creates an unsolvable vicious cycle.
Squeak~.
Suddenly, the G-Class drove towards the workers and stopped at the factory gate.
A stylish young couple, dressed like a golden couple, walked down the aisle.
I walked straight to the blue plastic boat placed by the door.
He identified the material by hand and then bent it forcefully, clearly testing the hull's rigidity.
A worker in his fifties raised an eyebrow, immediately making a guess from the two men's actions.
He asked with a smile, "Are you two here to buy a boat?"
The fact that they're testing the hull right away means they must have a customer.
They even drove over in a G-Wagon; they're obviously rich.
However, the middle-aged man was also puzzled: why did so many factories choose them?
But he still introduced it with a smile.
"Don't worry, boss, these are all thickened reinforced plastic inflatable boats, the quality is absolutely guaranteed!"
The one you are looking at is 5.5 meters long and has a load capacity of 2500 jin (1,250 catties).
Even setting up two mahjong tables wouldn't be a problem at all.
If you buy now, the promotional price is only 4398 yuan.
If you order now, you'll also receive a free paddle and life jacket.
The middle-aged man enthusiastically introduced the product, showing no concern that the other party might not be able to afford it.
Chen Huai'an gripped the gunwale with his palms and pressed down with all his might.
The thickened, reinforced plastic showed no deformation whatsoever, indicating excellent quality.
As for the price, I didn't think it was expensive.
After deciding to choose a plastic inflatable boat, he did his research in advance.
The testing of the materials used, as well as their advantages and disadvantages, were carefully studied.
Based on the materials, the price was also estimated.
The smaller the hull, the lower the price.
You can buy a small boat that can only fit one person for three or four hundred yuan.
A 5.5-meter inflatable boat, priced at 4398 yuan when sourced directly from the manufacturer, is indeed much cheaper than buying online.
If the price were any lower, he wouldn't dare to buy it.
The saying goes, "you get what you pay for." If high costs are incurred, the price will inevitably be higher.
If the same product is priced ridiculously low, then you should be concerned about its quality.
For example, plastic inflatable boats with the same appearance, those over 5 meters long, are priced at around 3500 yuan.
This only involves reducing the materials used, resulting in a decrease in hardness and load-bearing capacity.
More often than not, it's unscrupulous manufacturers who simply use the cheapest materials to cut corners.
The plastic cracked as soon as someone stepped on it.
It's not surprising that the quality of items purchased online can be terrible.
False advertising? That's basic stuff!
The most outrageous thing is that they sold a car for 180,000 yuan, but they ended up giving away a toy car the size of their palm.
They were complained about, and they even claimed they never said it was a real car.
Even the platform knows this is the norm, which is why they refund money without even reviewing returned goods.
Because of these unscrupulous merchants, some conscientious merchants have been implicated.
These are for soldiers to use in river crossing operations, so their quality cannot be taken lightly.
If there were really a source of goods that was very cheap, I wouldn't even dare to take it!
Chen Huai'an didn't answer immediately, but turned to ask, "What do you think?"
"Okay!" Lin Wan nodded, very satisfied with the materials used in the assault boat.
When the time comes to send them back, one ship will be able to transport a platoon of soldiers and their weapons and equipment.
During the Yangtze River Crossing Campaign, our army was truly short of boats.
Moreover, we must transport as many soldiers as possible across the river in the shortest possible time; otherwise, if too few are sent across, it will become a piecemeal tactic.
Therefore, when crossing the river, they even used wooden buckets and door panels sent by the local people.
Having received a definite answer, Chen Huai'an turned and asked with a smile, "What kind of discount can I get if I buy a lot?"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "If you buy three, you can get a 5% discount."
Chen Huai'an narrowed his eyes, held up three fingers, and asked, "If it's three thousand ships, what discount can I get?"
"Three to three thousand ships?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and his face showed surprise.
Even the workers watching the commotion were astonished and stared wide-eyed.
This is a big client!
The middle-aged man steadied himself and hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, I'll call the boss to come and talk to you."
After saying that, he hurriedly took out his phone and reported the matter in a low voice.
They particularly emphasized: "The other party arrived in a Mercedes-Benz worth millions!"
If Chen Huai'an had arrived on an electric scooter and immediately asked about three thousand ships, he would have been ridiculed.
They were treated as if they were just making fun of them.
But someone driving a multi-million dollar G-Class and accompanied by a "beautiful female secretary" must be either a big boss or a rich second-generation.
This kind of person is not short of money!
So when I heard the number three thousand, my first thought was that they were a big client, not someone trying to cause trouble.
When you're out in the world, you earn your own status; that saying is always true.
Soon, a man in his forties, with a rather thin build, jogged over from the office area.
