Chapter 459 Do you have a note?
Do you have a note?
There was a bigger trend in the 80s, that is, buying and selling tickets. By the early 90s, it had evolved into profiteering.

At the North China Electronic Machinery Factory in Jiuxianqiao, Wang Deming saw a lot of people gathered at the factory gate. He got out of the car curiously and was surrounded by several people. "Comrade, how many goods can you approve with the approval slip in your hand?"

"Comrade, I'll pay a high price!"

"I'll raise the price by 3%!"

"I'll raise the price by 3%!"

Fortunately, there was a severe crackdown last year, and one of the people surrounding him actually took out a stack of blue bills and swung them in the wind, making a rustling sound.

Wang Deming stopped curiously, looked up at the trucks coming in and out of the factory gate, and asked the young men and middle-aged men around him curiously, "How did you know I had the approval slip?"

Since 84, the country has implemented a dual-track system, that is, one part is still the planned indicators issued by the state, and the other part is based on the market economy, and factories can sell to the outside world independently.

Generally speaking, the price of the planned indicators will be half or 2/3 lower than the market price, so as long as you get the plan approval, get the goods, and sell them to the outside, you can make a lot of money.

Of course, anyone who can get the approval slip must have great power.

"Hey, comrade, I can tell by the car you're sitting in." The middle-aged man who had the money in his hand curled his lips, "Your car is more beautiful than the Crown and Bluebird from Japan. It's not something that ordinary people can ride in."

Wang Deming raised his eyebrows. There really are people in Beijing who know what’s good.

He has not spent much time in Beijing in the past two years. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, especially last year when the market was a bit chaotic. This time he actually noticed that there were a lot more cars in Beijing, but he basically didn't care much about it.

"Sorry," Wang Deming shook his head, "I came here to wait for someone, and I don't have an approval slip in my hand."

Wang Deming raised his chin and asked, "Are these people dealing with approval documents at the factory gate?"

"Hey, no!" Some people dispersed when they heard Wang Deming say that he didn't have the approval slip. The middle-aged man who took out the money put the money back into the bag in his hand, then took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and handed it to Wang Deming.

Wang Deming waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to smoke. He took out another pack of Zhongnanhai cigarettes and lit it up. After smoke came out of his nose and mouth, he said, "There are still many out-of-town businessmen waiting to get the goods."

"Who in the country doesn't know that the televisions produced by the North China Electronics Factory are selling well?"

“As long as you buy it, you will earn it.”

"Hey, that's not right!" Wang Deming heard something wrong and interrupted him quickly, "The TV series produced by the North China Electronics Factory are now exported, but the domestic share is very small. Basically, they are distributed to department stores across the country."

"Not private either?"

"Hey, how can someone like you understand?" The middle-aged man exhaled smoke again and said disdainfully: "Aren't they all joint-stock companies now?"

"Department stores have to make money, otherwise where will the workers' benefits come from?"

"Apart from Tianjin, where else in China can produce color TVs?"

"There aren't even enough black and white TVs!"

So that's how it is. Wang Deming nodded and asked, "Color TVs are much more expensive than black and white TVs now. Are there so many rich people in China now?"

"You're underestimating me, aren't you?" The middle-aged man slapped his handbag, "Do you know how much money is in here?"

He held up a finger, "A full ten thousand dollars!"

"Haven't you heard the propaganda about the millionaires? There are plenty of rich people now, like me. Everyone knows that I don't have a proper job, but who knew that I could only make a few thousand yuan a month? If I'm lucky and get a third-hand approval slip, it won't be a big deal to make tens of thousands a month!"

After saying this, he smiled and moved closer to Wang Deming, "Comrade, I've told you so much, so stop hiding it!"

"How many color TV sets do you have in your order? 30? Or 50?" "If it's more than 100, I'll find a few friends to buy it together. It will save you the trouble of looking for a buyer."

"You are different from the rest of us. Why do we need you to dig for food down there?"

Wang Deming spread his hands and said, "Comrade, I really didn't lie to you. I really don't have the approval slip. If I had it, it wouldn't be a big deal to give it to you."

Wang Deming took a few quick steps and went straight into the venue.

The middle-aged man was still shouting from behind: "Comrade, here's my business card for you!" He ran over and handed a business card to Wang Deming.

"Comrade, when you get the approval slip, just give me a call."

Wang Deming looked down and saw Xu Dafei, the manager of Dafei Trading Co., Ltd.

Hey, he is just one character different from Xu Damao, but his personality is similar and he is very capable.

"haha okay!"

He stuffed the business card into his pocket, waved to the middle-aged man, and walked into the factory again.

No outside vehicles are allowed to enter or leave the electronics factory at will. This is a rule set by the factory’s worker representatives.

Wang Deming has always believed that the Anshan Constitution is the best management system. Therefore, no matter whether it is a factory he wholly owns or a joint venture with domestic companies, he will first call a meeting with the workers to promote the Anshan Constitution.

He firmly believed that once workers were given the rights and status they deserved, they would spontaneously protect this system.

The factory has a dismissal target every year. If a worker in a workshop has a bad work attitude, he can be fired if more than 6% of the workers vote.

Especially after the joint venture, it is inevitable that many people with connections will come in.

He directly found several factory leaders of the North China Electronic Machinery Factory and held a meeting together.

Then he distributed the Famicom he brought to them, saying, "This is the home game console that Nintendo of Japan launched in Japan last year. They called it the Family Computer."

“It’s actually a home game console.”

"Look, I think this is the next trend."

The factory manager and technical engineers present held the game consoles in their hands and kept sighing: "I have to say, the Japanese are really good at it."

"Look at how small this game console is."

"Yes, and it's also a cunning one, calling it a family computer, but it's actually a game console."

One of the factory managers of Universal Electronics looked up and asked, "Boss, do you mean that we should gradually reduce the shipment of arcade machines and switch to this type of game consoles?"

"That's right." Wang Deming nodded. "Not only that, I hope that the next research direction can be to make a handheld game console."

He pulled over a blackboard and wrote and drew on it, "It's this kind of game, a game of eliminating blocks, or a game of eliminating bubbles."

"Each game console only has one or more mini-games installed, which are used exclusively for playing games."

"The price is 99 yuan!"

Wang Deming smiled and said: "In terms of cost, no one abroad can compare!"
