Chapter 353: Popularity of Woven Bags and Investment Expansion

"That's great. We'll have the same brand and unified promotion." Yang Wendong smiled and asked, "What about the other two small appliances? The electric fan and the hair dryer?"

Wang Zhiqun replied: "The electric fan has been manufactured and has already been put on the market. Because there is nothing special about it, it is sold normally without too much publicity. Currently in the Hong Kong market, we can sell several hundred units a day.

It still mainly relies on overseas markets, including some Commonwealth countries, Japan and the United States. These local channels have just started, but the order volume is already more than ten times that of Hong Kong. By next year, sales will inevitably increase significantly.

There is still a problem with hair dryers, which is that the heat is difficult to dissipate after a long time, so the structure has not yet been determined. "

"Well, okay. Currently, Honor Electric mainly has these products. Once they are all launched on the market and stabilized, we will proceed to the next step of research and development." Yang Wendong nodded and said.

With Honor Electric's current resources, being able to develop several products simultaneously is basically the limit. We have to take one step at a time. Once our strength becomes stronger, we will be able to add more projects for research and development simultaneously.

Of course, channels are also very important. The slow progress in the early stages is largely related to the imperfections of channels.

The various developments of an enterprise are actually balanced.

July soon arrived and the hot summer came again. It has not rained in Hong Kong this year.

Under the scorching sun, Yang Wendong arrived at the Changxing Industrial Park in Kwun Tong. As soon as he got off the car, he saw that several trees at the entrance had wilted and their trunks had turned dry and yellow.

Wei Zetao saw the direction his boss was looking at and could only say awkwardly, "Mr. Yang, it may be because of the severe lack of water. Many plants in the factory are drying up."

"Well, it's okay. People don't have water to drink, and plants are indeed in a worse situation." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "It would be a pity if they died of dryness."

Wei Zetao smiled and said, "I'll have someone water the trees in the field. Don't worry, Mr. Yang. We'll use the water from when the workers wash their hands or when they wash dishes in the kitchen. We can also collect it. Otherwise, it would be a waste if it flows into the sewer."

"Okay." Yang Wendong also thought it was okay.

In 63, water use in Hong Kong had reached a very tight point. Even with Yang Wendong's strong support today, we can only say that many people will not be so thirsty that they have no water to drink. But think about it, too many things in people's lives still require water.

Among water, electricity and gas, water is the most important. People will not die without the latter two. It is also more important than food.

What is even more troublesome is that Hong Kong's industries will also compete with the public for water. After all, industry cannot stop. If it stops, the losses will definitely not be this year, but will affect the future, because once the orders are transferred, they will be gone.

Afterwards, the two came to a workshop inside the factory, where a large number of snakeskin bags (plastic woven bags) were being produced. Everyone was busy. Fortunately, there was cool air here.

Yang Wendong asked: "It seems that these plastic woven bags are selling really well."

"Yes, the sales volume is very high. All factories and merchants that need to transport large quantities of bulk goods need this kind of bag." Wei Zetao said with a smile: "This is cheaper than wooden boxes, and it is very light and easy to transport;
Compared with cloth bags, they are stronger, more waterproof, and cheaper. They are simply the most perfect means of transportation in industry and commerce. Not only in Hong Kong, but now there is a huge demand in many overseas markets. Basically, as long as woven bags appear in that market, the market demand will skyrocket, just like plastic bags before. "

"There are many other manufacturers that can produce plastic bags now, right?" Yang Wendong asked.

Wei Zetao nodded and said, "Yes, many factories in Japan have also begun to produce polyethylene materials, which allows many small factories to produce plastic bags. We only bought a patent for polyethylene at the beginning, and we can't do anything if others bypass it;
However, we are basically self-sustaining in the industrial chain, so our costs are still the lowest, and we still have the greatest advantage in the entire market.”

"Well, monopoly is indeed unlikely." Yang Wendong said: "Even if the patent is in hand, some small factories can still produce it, and there are many kinds of materials, so it is impossible to have an exclusive monopoly."

"Yes, but we have a creative patent for woven bags." Wei Zetao added, "Recently, two companies from Japan and the United States have found me. They want to buy the licensed patent for woven bags. Mr. Yang, what do you think?"

"Have you discussed the price?" Yang Wendong asked.

Wei Zetao replied: "Not yet, because I haven't thought clearly about how to authorize it, and it's up to you to decide whether to authorize it or not."

"Authorization is fine, I agree to this." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said, "Woven bags can improve the efficiency of social commodity transportation. Forcible monopoly will only be targeted by various capitals and even the government.
Moreover, we in Hong Kong do not have the capacity to supply the global market, so it is better to license it out and let multiple large companies produce it together, so that we can maximize our profits, and they will also crack down on piracy for the sake of the market. "

Even if you have a patent, you often cannot enjoy it alone. Not to mention whether the law will work if the benefits are too great. Even if you can, trying to enjoy it all alone may not necessarily lead to a good ending, like the Japan in the past.

By sharing benefits and winning over allies, you can make the pie bigger, and in the end you will get more than if you try to eat it all alone.

Wei Zetao agreed and said, "Okay, then I will start preparing to discuss licensing cooperation with various overseas countries."

"Well, OK, but we also have to ensure our production capacity in Hong Kong." Yang Wendong added: "Plastic bags and woven bags may not have high profits, but the employment they generate is still amazing;

In addition, these two industries have just started, and you are also negotiating with Taiwan to set up a large factory there. Formosa Plastics is also in Taiwan, which saves the transportation costs in the middle. "

"Good idea." Wei Zetao said with a smile: "Speaking of Taiwan, I am also planning to move some of the production capacity of trolley cases, rotary mops and sticky hooks there. Just like you said, it can save the transportation cost of plastic particles. In addition, Taiwan has tariff concessions for exports to the United States and Japan, which is more cost-effective.
In the future, the main production capacity in Hong Kong will be supplied to the Commonwealth market and the Southeast Asian market. This will maximize our benefits. " "Okay." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Then the factories in Taiwan, except for the previous paper mill, are not polluting. So we should try to build them in the suburbs of Taipei City. The closer to the city, the better. Even if it involves some demolition, we must insist on it. "

Although my focus is on my career, the objective fact is that if I build a factory and work hard for 20 years, the money I earn in the end may not be as valuable as the land under my factory.
In the future, land and housing prices in Taipei will be very high, and it is estimated that it will be ranked in the top ten in Asia. Now that you can get cheap land, there is no reason not to take it.

"Okay, I understand." Wei Zetao smiled.

Afterwards, several people took a tour around the factory and saw a large number of woven bags that could bear weights of 50Kg and 100Kg. After being packed, they were transported away, and outside, there were a number of trucks waiting.

"Not bad." Yang Wendong was also very happy and said with a smile: "Changxing Industry has finally found a new profit point this year."

The value of the bag is very small, but the demand for it is much greater than that of sticky notes. Although woven bags cannot be degraded, they are much better than ordinary plastic bags. Their impact on the economy and environment of the human group is much smaller than the harm they cause.

It is a sense of honor if your own factory can produce products that drive the overall economic development of mankind.

"Yes." Wei Zetao said again: "Mr. Yang, there is one more thing. We have already made the bags for instant noodles that you requested before. They are in this workshop. There is a small machine in that direction."

"Oh, let's go and take a look." Yang Wendong also became interested immediately.

If bagged instant noodles can be mass-produced, the entire market can be instantly expanded several times. The most important thing is that we can find a breakthrough in entering the food industry.

Several people soon arrived at the location. There was a small machine here. Wei Zetao introduced it and said, "Mr. Yang, this is a small packaging equipment customized by Dongsheng according to our needs. It uses plastic film as the raw material, and then cuts the ribbon and seals it with high temperature melting to complete the sealing."

"It's quite simple." Yang Wendong took a look at the equipment.

"I'll have them demonstrate it." Wei Zetao smiled, and then his men received instructions and immediately arranged for engineers to turn on the equipment;
Soon, sealed plastic bags were produced one by one. Yang Wendong picked up one. The size was about the same as what he remembered from his previous life.

Wei Zetao went on to say: "The food factory over at Zhousheng has not yet been fully built, and currently can only produce according to the model. Once it is confirmed that there are no problems, Dongsheng will also specially make a large-scale instant noodle production line, starting with flour and finally packaging, all will be produced on an assembly line."

"This is a big project. Does Dongsheng have the ability to do it?" Yang Wendong asked.

The instant noodle assembly line may not have been a big deal in the past, but for Hong Kong today, it is considered high-tech.

"Sure, they are already drawing the diagram." Wei Zetao said, "It's mainly because the production process of instant noodles is too inefficient if people are used. We can only use equipment, otherwise it wouldn't take so long."

"Yeah, I know." Yang Wendong nodded.

Although labor is cheap in Hong Kong, some industries are not suitable for intensive labor, so when assembly lines are needed, they are used.

Wei Zetao took out a small bag of paper from the side and continued, "Mr. Yang, look, this is the facial tissue packaging we discussed in Wanwan before. I also talked to Dongsheng about it, and they made it in a few days."

"Let me see." Yang Wendong took the tissue paper package and looked at it carefully. It was similar to the previous life. Then he said, "Don't use the sealing mode here. It's not that food doesn't need to be absolutely sealed. If it is sealed, it will be difficult to open, and the customer needs to tear it open.

In this way, make an extra piece in the front, then put a little glue here and gently stick it up. In this way, after the customer opens it, they can close the seal again to prevent the paper inside from getting dirty for a long time. "

These are all social experiences from previous lives, but any one of these experiences is the best solution that is finally decided in the market after countless people in an industry mix together their various creative ideas and technologies.

"Good idea." Wei Zetao's eyes lit up: "Then I will notify Dongsheng immediately."

Yang Wendong nodded and asked, "Is Dongsheng's strength getting stronger now?"

Wei Zetao replied: "Yes, Dongsheng has now become our largest equipment supplier. Except for some high-tech ones, the rest are basically made by Dongsheng.

It is also with our financial support that their R&D capabilities are getting stronger and stronger.”

"That's interesting." Yang Wendong thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's talk to their boss and we can buy shares in their company. We don't need a lot, about 20% will be enough. In the future, we will support it to develop in the direction of equipment manufacturing."

One of the reasons for the future collapse of Hong Kong's industry is that all equipment needs to be imported. This is a huge obstacle to industrialization. If this problem is not solved, the industry will not be able to rise.

Of course, Hong Kong has many other problems, and it is unlikely to retain its industry. However, if it has the ability to supply equipment in the next 20 years, it will be of great benefit to itself. After the mainland's reform and opening up, such technical factories can also be moved to the country, and then use the mainland's talents and markets to develop.
