Director Lu had an embarrassed expression on his face, obviously there was something hidden.

Li Weidong asked bluntly: "Brother Lu, what happened? Is there a technical problem?"

"It's easy to say technically, the key is raw materials." Director Lu paused, then continued: "This polyurethane synthetic leather, we imported technology from the south, but we only imported the production technology of artificial leather, but the key raw material polyurethane Leather pulp, we can't produce it ourselves, we still have to buy it from the south.

Not long ago, we purchased a batch of raw materials from the south and successfully produced polyurethane synthetic leather, but when we calculated the cost, it was not worth it at all. Buying raw materials from the south, plus shipping costs and various costs, the final product price is more expensive than buying finished products directly from the south and shipping them!

You also know that now is not the era when the state assigned production tasks. Our factory mainly relies on social orders. The products are expensive and no one wants them. We can only suspend the production of polyurethane synthetic leather, or continue to produce ordinary artificial leather. "

"So it is!" Li Weidong nodded suddenly.

Polyurethane synthetic leather was born in Germany in the 1950s. It only attracted the attention of Western countries in the 1960s. Then major industrial countries began to get involved in the research of polyurethane synthetic leather. Until the 1970s, advanced industrial countries such as the United States, Japan and Germany, Large-scale production of polyurethane synthetic leather has just begun.

China only introduced the production technology of polyurethane synthetic leather into China in the early 1980s. At that time, China's technology level was far behind that of western developed countries. Tech too.

There are two main methods for industrial production of polyurethane synthetic leather, one is dry production and the other is wet production. Among them, the wet production of polyurethane synthetic leather requires the use of vacuum technology, and the domestic level is definitely unreachable, so At that time, China introduced the technology of producing polyurethane synthetic leather by dry method.

In the dry production process, a release paper is used as a carrier, and the polyurethane resin slurry is coated on the release paper, then dried and cooled, and then attached to the base cloth, dried and cooled again, and then peeled off. , a piece of artificial leather came out. If dyeing is required, a dyeing process will be added in the middle.

Of course, the real manufacturing process is much more complicated and requires many kinds of coatings, as well as requirements for release paper and base fabric. In the process, extrusion, ironing, solidification, washing, drying, etc. are also required. Strict process requirements.

With domestic industrial capacity, release paper and base fabric are not difficult to find.

As long as the release paper is strong enough, the surface is uniform, and it has a certain solvent resistance, there are many types of base fabrics to choose from, such as woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, and non-woven fabrics.

The key is the polyurethane resin slurry, which is the core raw material for the production of polyurethane synthetic leather. Without this, polyurethane synthetic leather cannot be produced.

In the early 1980s, when polyurethane synthetic leather was first introduced in China, the polyurethane resin slurry was still imported. Until the mid-1980s, there were only a handful of manufacturers able to produce polyurethane resin slurry.

Without polyurethane synthetic leather, Li Weidong would not be able to produce leather jackets.

So Li Weidong asked, "Brother Lu, the raw material you are talking about is polyurethane resin paste, right?"

Director Lu nodded: "That thing has to go to Guangdong and Guangzhou to buy it. There is a joint venture with Singaporeans in the Special Economic Zone that can produce this kind of thing."

"To ship raw materials from Guangdong and Guangxi, the distance of more than 2,000 kilometers, the shipping cost for one ton of raw materials alone is more than 300 yuan. This cost is quite high." Li Weidong pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Lu, if I If we can help you find polyurethane resin slurry from our province, then your products should reduce the cost a lot, right?"

"In the province,

That would save at least three-quarters of the shipping cost per ton of raw materials. Director Lu calculated in his mind, and then said; "In that case, our polyurethane synthetic leather cost will not suffer. In our province, there are Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei generation, and there is a price advantage. "

"Okay, this matter is covered by me, and I will help you find polyurethane resin paste in the province." Li Weidong said confidently.

"Brother Li, we are not joking!" Director Lu said with a serious face.

"Brother Lu, can I lie to you? I'll find you the raw materials tomorrow. Wait for my call!" Li Weidong said.

"Okay, let's just say this to you, I have to toast you too!" Director Lu and Li Weidong had a cup of tea, and then did it as a respect, and then continued: "Brother Li, I don't ask the province, Within a radius of 500 kilometers, if you can really find polyurethane resin paste for us, our factory owes you an adult!"

"Brother Lu, when you produce polyurethane synthetic leather, you will have to give it to my garment factory first." Li Weidong said immediately.

Director Lu immediately patted his chest: "You can rest assured, I will definitely pick the best products and send them to your garment factory!"

The next day, Li Weidong called Dengzhou Artificial Leather Factory.

In the province, there is really a company that can produce polyurethane resin slurry, that is Dengzhou Artificial Leather General Factory.

In the early 1980s, Dengzhou Artificial Leather Factory introduced the relevant technology of polyurethane from Japan's Kuraray Company, and this project became a key construction project during the "Sixth Five-Year Plan" period.

In the 1990s, the Dengzhou Artificial Leather General Factory was restructured and became the largest polyurethane industrial base in China. After the company went public, its market value became the top of the basic chemical industry. Its main product "mdi", which is the production capacity of diphenylmethane diisocyanate , more than the international giant BASF, ranking first in the world.

Dengzhou is less than 400 kilometers away from Qinghe, and Dengzhou Artificial Leather General Factory can produce polyurethane resin slurry, but Qinghe Artificial Leather Factory, as a peer, is not aware of it, not to mention that this is a key project of the "Sixth Five-Year Plan"!

From the point of view of future generations, it is simply impossible to happen. If you check the Internet casually, you will not know what products this company produces.

In the 1980s, however, this was a normal situation.

Underdeveloped information is one reason, and another important reason is that enterprises that have come from the era of planned economy do not know how to find sources of raw materials by themselves, nor do they know how to find sales channels for their products.

In the era of planned economy, the source of raw materials and product sales of enterprises are properly arranged by the state, and the materials are operated within the plan. The source and destination of all materials have been determined at the beginning of the year. Find raw materials and sales!

State-owned enterprises have become accustomed to this mode of operation, and they will never find the source of raw materials and sales of products by themselves. It's like the livestock that are fed at a fixed point every day, have lost the ability to forage independently.

So this happened. Dengzhou Artificial Leather General Factory was able to produce polyurethane resin slurry, but did not sell it, but just waited for the order to be delivered to the door at home;

Qinghe Artificial Leather Factory needed polyurethane resin slurry, but did not know how to find a source of supply, but just waited at home for sales to take the initiative to deliver it to the door.

Both sides are so embarrassed, I have the goods, but I just can't sell them; you are out of stock, but you just can't buy them.

Think about the future China, you can find the product supply chain you need within 100 kilometers. It's really happy!

As a dispatcher, Li Weidong has a lot of supply and demand information. When he learned that Qinghe Artificial Leather Factory lacked polyurethane resin slurry, he immediately thought of Dengzhou Artificial Leather General Factory.

After a phone call, it was confirmed that the Dengzhou Artificial Leather General Factory did indeed produce polyurethane resin paste. Li Weidong immediately called Director Lu.

"Hey, Brother Lu, I'm Li Weidong. I found the polyurethane resin paste that your factory asked for." Li Weidong said.

"I found it? So fast?" Director Lu was shocked, and then immediately asked, "Where is the source of the goods?"

"Dengzhou, it's only 400 kilometers away from us. If you leave early in the morning to deliver the goods, you can arrive on the same day." Li Weidong replied.

"Where are you? I'll find you now!" Director Lu said without hesitation, and it could be seen that he was really in a hurry.

Li Weidong helped Qinghe Artificial Leather Factory to solve the problem of raw materials. Director Lu was naturally grateful. Although Li Weidong did not make money from it, he also made a personal favor.

When dealing with state-owned enterprises, sometimes earning favors is more important than making money.

With the raw materials, the artificial leather factory also started production at full capacity, and the first batch of polyurethane synthetic leather was naturally supplied to Li Weidong's clothing factory.

Next, the garment factory also opened the production mode.

Although the price of polyurethane synthetic leather is only one tenth of that of genuine leather, it is also much more expensive than ordinary fabrics. The cost of raw materials for leather jackets produced by garment factories was about 40 yuan, which was considered a high price at that time.

In contrast, ordinary pure cotton white shirts are priced at five or six yuan, and military coats with suede collars cost around forty yuan.

At that time, military coats still used genuine copper buttons.

Also because of the high cost of leather jackets, Li Weidong simply put another 400,000 yuan into the garment factory to buy raw materials to maintain normal production.

Early in the morning, Li Weidong went around the workshop and found that he had nothing to do. Deputy director Wang Jing and four workshop directors manage the workshop in an orderly manner.

The production work of the workshop has always been under the responsibility of the deputy director Wang Jing. This somewhat ironic deputy director has never studied business management. He simply used the set of soldiers in the management of the workshop production. middle.

The effect of this trick is not bad, although I dare not say how high the production efficiency is, but at least it can ensure the normal and effective operation of the workshop.

If you look at Foxconn in later generations, you will know that for labor-intensive industries, paramilitary management is still necessary.

Li Weidong went around the warehouse again. At this time, there were more than 4,000 leather jackets piled up in the warehouse.

"It's time to find a market." Li Weidong sighed lightly.

This poor third-production garment factory does not have a salesperson, so Li Weidong, the factory manager, can only go to the market in person.
