My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 160 This is the Golden Phoenix
Even forty years later, this distinction between inside and outside is still being ridiculed by the outside world.

It's just like when people in mainland China look at Kingsoft, they think it's so closed, confined, and backward that they can't say or do anything.

In fact, this can be said to be the freest period in the country.

He can even tie a pistol to his leg and move around freely.

It's really because no one has ever been abroad, and comrades at all levels are putting pressure on us and are afraid of being blamed if something goes wrong.

Anyway, I don’t know what happened before the opening ceremony that triggered the leader of the delegation, who was one of the people walking in front of the formation and behind the flag bearer.

The ability to freely raise the camera and take pictures of the surroundings fully expresses our freedom and confidence, and our determination to record this beauty.

In comparison, the phalanx behind was almost marching in step.

The evening news broadcast clearly described the event: "In this world sports event with the largest number of athletes and participating countries in history, our athletes held high the banner of unity, tension, seriousness and liveliness..."

Oh, that's no problem.

It wasn't even eight o'clock when Jin Zhuoqun called: "Haha, I saw it! I saw your camera at the opening ceremony of the Olympics! I'm here on the grassland with the crew and have been oblivious to what's going on outside. The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I'll be rushing back to Pingjing. It will definitely be done smoothly!"

Of course, Rang Weidong wouldn't ask what he did earlier: "Okay, I'll wait for you. Be careful on the road."

After hanging up the phone, the situation here had actually already become a natural outcome.

The film studio that must have watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics must have sent another 50,000 rolls of film in the afternoon, in addition to the 10,000 rolls that were delivered in the morning. They said you sell first and settle the bill later.

But Weidong was able to settle the 60,000 rolls in cash with a very decent payment of 510,000 yuan.

The director of the film factory who received the money called Jin Zhuoqun personally just before he arrived, that is, before the relevant report of the news broadcast was finished, and said that he would arrange for the delivery of another 100,000 rolls immediately, and that the payment would be made next time the goods were picked up.

Because it is obvious that now Triumph film is clinging to the X-ray camera.

It happened that I mentioned this morning that this train was carrying 2,000 cameras, which truly demonstrates the current market appeal of X cameras.

The friends divided it up skillfully, passed it on to their downlines, and then sold it all out before noon!

Everywhere you go, there are rush purchases.

As soon as the camera is taken out, everyone will be amazed. Is this the camera used at the opening ceremony of the Olympics?

I want!

No explanation, no demonstration, no shopping guide, no need to pay for anything, just give me thirty yuan first!
I actively asked for a one yuan price increase just to get it.

According to the call from Dong Xueying in the afternoon, Shanghai, Echang, Yuezhou and Rongdu have all strongly requested to provide more than 5,000 units!
People all over the country are asking what camera this is.

At this time, no one would look down on anyone who could produce this cheap camera with the "X" logo.

Olympic athletes all carry this camera, isn't that cool enough?

I don't understand focusing, shutter speed, or flash.

Anyway, the Olympic athletes on TV all carry this kind of camera when they go abroad.

It must be a good camera.

Of course, the Xishan factory also called Dong Xueying to find the deputy director and ensure that the factory had been fully mobilized. They were originally expanding production in full swing in accordance with the spirit of the previous meeting with the deputy director, so now they will definitely go all out to ensure delivery.

Strive to achieve the production target of 20,000 units per week ahead of schedule!

Anyway, we only focus on production and won’t do anything else.

When the call was made to Feiyan Factory to find Rang Weidong, Old Cheng had a different tone.

It was just a lighthearted joke between colleagues.

He mentioned that everyone in the department was calling to inquire about the results of this operation. "I suspect they're trying to take back control, since they're making money. But you can trust the factory completely. Even if I step down, none of the workers or their families will agree to abandon you. All of this was accomplished by you leading the Xishan Factory. That's why I immediately emphasized this situation and planned to seize the opportunity to merge and restructure several factories. You will take the leadership position, and I'll be the secretary."

Wei Dong fell silent instead. Seeing his expression as he sat at the table with the microphone in his hand, Shen Cuiyue understood and led the others out, gently closing the door of the factory director's office.

In fact, Weidong was considering whether to say it and how to say it.

Faced with such a partner who had shared his joys and sorrows, he felt the need to be sincere in his response: "I came to Pingjing on a business trip this time and came across some shocking information. The toilet paper factory I was planning to open in Jiangzhou was actually already in production in the capital of northern Hebei Province. If Xiao Zhang and I hadn't accidentally bought other machines in Yuezhou, this factory might have been in crisis."

Old Cheng also put away his smile, but there was the sound of a match being struck: "Hmm."

Let Weidong continue: "What I'm saying is that unlike the planned economy, where everything was arranged by the state, the commodity economy is ever-changing. This time, when I was interacting with many college students and some foreign businessmen, I heard that there is a new technology abroad that may completely replace film cameras. In other words, everything we do now, which seems to be flourishing, may suddenly be overturned in three, five, or ten years."

Old Cheng didn't panic, but he could be heard smoking fiercely, downing a cigarette in one gulp. "So... this further proves that you should be the one leading this group."

Let Weidong shake his head and show him: "I used to just buy goods from Xishan Factory and sell them. It was your attitude that gave me the responsibility and made me understand that I have to be responsible for so many brothers and sisters..."

In fact, his fingers were slowly moving across the table.

Then, "With your noble character and integrity, Xishan Factory's future will remain stable. Even if there are storms and unexpected events ahead, I believe that under your leadership, we will be able to overcome them." He slowly drew another line with his finger. "So, having your trust is the luckiest and most heartwarming thing in my work. If possible, I would like to maintain this cooperative relationship where you lead production and I lead sales, and not give up on developing other products and industries. Perhaps this is the opportunity for Xishan Factory to seize this wave of opportunities, accumulate some funds for a successful transformation. Perhaps we only have one chance for such a transformation, and squandering it will never happen again."

This response is definitely a dimensionality reduction attack.

Sixty-year-old Rang Weidong will never easily turn his back to anyone, no matter how loyal he is to them.

I won't trust others completely either.

But for Old Cheng, who has lived in the small environment of Xishan Factory for a long time and can only deal with situations up and down, it is indeed lethal.

There was silence on the phone for a long moment. "Weidong, I've never thought of leaving here. From the time I started as a worker, to production team leader, to workshop director, and finally to factory director, I've never thought of leaving. So I'll stand here until the day I can no longer stand, and I'll be waiting for you to grow up and take on all the responsibilities."

Let Weidong laugh first. "Don't be so serious. It's just that we both have this sense of crisis. When I heard this news, my first reaction was to develop the Xishan factory into an electrical appliance factory. Is it possible for us to do this? Do we have the necessary raw materials? Last night I saw a hair dryer in the hotel I was staying in, and I wondered if we could produce that. In short, we need to work together and find a direction for change. This is our opportunity."

Old Cheng also smiled: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to discuss it."

Rang Weidong quickly reminded him, "There's no need for any additional investment. We can set up a small department just to research and develop new products and new directions. And the hair dryer I'm talking about is a new product from abroad, not one of those square-headed barbers you see in the countryside these days."

Lao Cheng hummed: "Then remember to bring some samples when you come back."

When Weidong hung up the phone, he thought that there were too many things to bring.

Because he really knows what things will be used for a long time in the future. It’s just a matter of seeing samples to remind him. He also needs to be ahead of his peers across the country and have a foundation in technology and raw materials.

Anyway, he didn't realize that this was the most scarce ability to actively upgrade industries in the early days of reform and opening up.

I am indeed concentrating and paying attention.

But the most natural one, of course, was the China Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Originally, Weidong was asked to take the Feiyan Sanitary Napkin Factory's agreement to apply to be included in the list in the afternoon.

Okay, now it's the Supply and Marketing Cooperative that gets the news: "Did you provide the People's Camera used by the Olympic athletes?"

Weidong wanted to provide it to Olympic athletes for free, but he didn't have the qualifications or the channels.

Now it's like being a free endorsement, and they're charging 29 yuan per unit: "Yes, we also cooperate with the Triumph Film Factory, the first film factory under the Ministry of Chemical Industry, to provide domestically produced color film at a price of 12 yuan per unit. Imported rolls are 25 to 28 yuan or even more expensive."

People then naturally said: "List them all together."

Weidong still wanted to keep things separate: "Sanitary napkins and cameras are both our products. As for the film, I'll have the sales department at the film factory contact the headquarters."

The other person shook his head: "Then we have to contact another unit, which is too troublesome. We will just contact you."

So Weidong and everyone else didn't have time to celebrate and drink the whole night.

It must be very busy.

Zhang Lingyun suggested that they should not waste time in Pingjing. He should allocate 1,000 of the newly arrived 5,000 trucks to the Northeast to open up the market.

He Yuemei also immediately went to Yuezhou to take charge of the situation and ensure that the situation there could stabilize.

Because on that day, Dong Xueying received the most sales calls from Yuezhou. Almost immediately, the sales representatives from Yuezhou universities started working on their own. They had a strong desire to start their own business and all contacted the head office privately. It was even said that some of them were preparing to go to Jiangzhou for an interview.

So we need to quickly send in a leader to at least avoid any problems at this critical stage.

However, the key point that He Yuemei put forward to Rang Weidong was that a complete financial center must be established in Pingjing.

Damn, Dong Xueying is now in charge of finance, and she is at most a cashier. She is preparing to recruit an accountant to coordinate the increasingly complicated accounting systems of the sanitary napkin factory, camera factory, and food factory.

The college students here have suggested that they should just do it in one go and set up a financial settlement center.

Because the settlement with the Supply and Marketing Cooperative is already very complicated, it is definitely not something that can be handled by just two or three financial officers.

Moreover, there are two brands of sanitary napkins and two sets of accounts involved. The settlement of cameras and films entering the Supply and Marketing Cooperative will also be very troublesome. How much profit is made from the inflow and outflow, and how to ensure that taxes are paid on time without suffering a big loss, all require a complete financial center.

So He Yuemei recommended a technical secondary school student from Pingjing Finance and Trade Management Cadre School among the peripheral members of the entire Pingjing University sales team to be responsible for establishing this matter.

Although it is only a technical secondary school, it has been upgraded to a college in the past two years.

He Yuemei was about to explain further when the former security guard at the tax compound raised his hand and said, "Let's go with him!"

Those who graduated from technical secondary schools in the 1970s and 1980s and entered the workforce early can understand what is going on by looking at their own Fengchu.

Not to mention that the word "cadre" is included in the name of this school.

This means that you can be trained to become a financial cadre in your twenties, and start in Pingjing.

Given the status of the Shangzhou Municipal Taxation Bureau, it would be a blessing if it could assign such a person to conduct research, secondment, or temporary assignment.

It is truly like a golden phoenix emerging from a chicken coop.
