Chapter 527 is selling like hotcakes!
"Haha, welcome Director Lin to our factory for guidance." Ge Hongqiang, the director of Anning County Chengyuan Precision Injection Molding Factory, and his team of factory leaders were waiting at the factory gate early in the morning.
A red Xiali car stopped at the entrance, and three members of the security department got out of the car first.
One of the neatly dressed female security guards opened the back door of the car only after confirming that the surrounding area was safe.
Lin Xiaohe, dressed in a simple work suit, bent down and got out of the car.
The factory gate was half-open, and trucks were coming and going.
They were responsible for transporting the precision components produced by the plastics factory to the Changhong factory, where they were waiting to be used.
The drivers leaned halfway out of the car windows, gazing longingly at Lin Xiaohe and the others, uttering gasps of amazement.
"This is Director Lin from Changhong Factory! He looks so young!"
"He's only in his early twenties. Sigh, it's true what they say, comparisons are odious. My brat is still wandering the streets aimlessly, while Director Lin has already built such a great career!"
"Isn't Changhong factory going to open a logistics department? They're recruiting right now. Your son's been learning to drive with you, and his skills are top-notch. Why don't you let him give it a try?"
The chubby driver, with his hand on the car window, flicked cigarette ash out, his mouth full of disdain, but his face was full of pride: "I sent him to try. That kid was lucky; he was chosen by the head of the logistics department and will start work in two days."
The other drivers laughed and teased, "You old fatso, you're pretending to complain, but you're actually showing off to us! You have to treat us. The benefits at Changhong Factory are top-notch in our city. Let your brat work hard, and you won't have to worry about him when he settles down and starts a family."
The chubby driver waved his hand and said, "I have to treat you! Let's get to work quickly and not delay Changhong's production. Once we're done, we'll find a place to have a good drink."
Outside the factory gate, a group of middle-aged and elderly women, dressed in Yangko dance, were full of joy, beating drums and gongs and chanting slogans in unison.
"Rock-Solid Color TV, one TV can be passed down for three generations!"
"When buying a color TV, buy Panshi – military-grade quality, a pillar of value!"
The women's loud voices, like megaphones, instantly silenced the teasing from the crowd.
After the group passed by, the drivers clicked their tongues in amazement.
"Now, all I see and hear when I open my eyes is PanShi TV. Even the walls of my family compound on my way home from the factory are covered with PanShi TV advertisements!"
"Hahaha, what's that? Last night, my wife got up in the middle of the night and kicked me, insisting on buying a Panshi color TV. That's the kind of skill Director Lin has to squeeze money out of this gluttonous creature!"
The burly man with a full beard gave a thumbs up, marveling at Director Lin's ability to make money.
It must be said that advertising on CCTV and engaging in saturation marketing is a rather crude but highly effective approach.
The Anning County Hotel was almost full of merchants from all over the country.
The food, clothing, housing, and transportation needs of so many people have successfully boosted the business of local small vendors.
Anning County in 1993 was a completely different world from Anning County in 1994.
The county town is full of the warmth and life of everyday people.
The alleyway is no longer filled with idle young people chatting and gossiping.
At the entrance of the morning market, although there are still laborers waiting for work, they can find work in less than half an hour.
As long as there are jobs available, this industrial county has been revitalized thanks to its tenacious ability to self-iterate.
Two middle-aged men with side-parted hair and black leather bags under their hands ordered a bowl of wontons at the morning market and ate while observing their surroundings.
“Anning County is completely out of step with the rest of Liaoyang Province.”
They had dealt with the Liaoyang provincial government before; well, there were many rules and complicated procedures. The leaders wanted to reform, but progress was slow. The man opposite him took out his camera and started taking pictures of the bustling crowd at the morning market.
"Comrade Lin Xiaohe is a thoughtful comrade. Her prediction of the economic situation in Anning County is very distinctive and forward-looking. We were sent by the higher-ups to investigate, but we never expected to discover such a big surprise."
"She's incredibly proactive. She launched the Haiyan brand sauna tub before the Lunar New Year and the Panshi color TV on May Day, which revitalized the entire Anning County's economy. Our hotel is packed with people placing orders. If this continues, annual sales could very well exceed 50."
The middle-aged man with the camera put it down and started eating his wontons with gusto: "I heard that Comrade Lin Xiaohe's goal is not just 50!"
The man opposite him chuckled, "Ideals are beautiful, but reality is harsh. Japanese brands hold an absolute advantage in my country's color TV market, and their position will not be easily shaken. If Changhong can capture even 5% of the market share, that would be quite remarkable!"
"It's truly remarkable. The mainstream view in our enterprise reform is to focus on large enterprises and let go of small ones, encourage mergers and acquisitions, and explore existing enterprise systems. If Changhong Factory can succeed, it can provide us with very valuable experience."
Beset by internal and external troubles, and unable to proceed cautiously by trial and error, every reform is a high-stakes gamble on the nation's destiny.
As those closest to the top, they face immense psychological pressure.
The data on millions of laid-off workers, when written down, is just a number.
But for those who use their hands and feet to conduct research on this land, every forced pain represents a change in the fate of a worker, a family, or two or three generations.
Therefore, they always try to conduct investigations more comprehensively, more seriously, and more carefully, using more authentic data and examples to provide data for higher-level decision-making.
Thinking of this, the two of them, who had been infected by the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere of Anning County, once again suppressed their excitement.
The two wiped their mouths and paid the bill: "Let's go, let's go check out Pang Donglai Selected Supermarket."
The Pangdonglai Selected Supermarket No. 3 on the main street in the county town is the most popular among the locals.
After expansion, Pang Donglai Selected Supermarket's third store now occupies two entire floors, covering an area of 2000 square meters.
As soon as the two entered, they felt that the supermarket was different.
The cleaning ladies, dressed in uniform, with their hair tucked into hats, mopped the tiled floor until it was spotless.
The cashier in charge of checkout had a smile on her face and was kind and patient in the face of customers' repeated questions.
The two followed their route, browsing the supermarket floor by floor.
"The fruits and poultry are all locally produced. Look, there is traceability information next to them."
At the pork stall, there was a large sign that stated where the products came from and what tests they had undergone.
The fruit was arranged neatly and cut into small pieces for the guests to sample.
The price isn't very low, but the added value is high.
In addition to the vegetable section, Pang Donglai Supermarket has added an electronics section, mainly selling Panshi series color TVs and Haiyan brand sauna tubs.
"Don't worry, don't worry, we have it!"
One color TV after another was snatched up by customers, once again demonstrating to the two how popular PanShi color TVs were.
Time flies, the New Year is almost here.
I don't know why, but I can't feel the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year...
I don't want to do anything, I don't want to do a thorough cleaning, I don't want to prepare for the New Year, I don't want to visit relatives, I just want to lie at home.
