Chapter 46 Joining the gang
In fact, these days, almost every factory has a group of people doing small business, but most of them are unemployed, released from labor camps, or people from very poor families. They are generally discriminated against in the factory, and the workers and their families look down on them. But in fact, many of them earn more in a day than the workers do in a month, and they are among the first people to get rich in the factory.
"...Brother, you work so hard and earn so little money. If you follow us, you can earn at least two months' salary in one month!" After two glasses of wine, Wang Yongsheng's face was red, and he said to Xu Qiang: "We also work normally, but we do some small business after get off work. If you are willing to take turns to look after the stall with us, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
At this time, Wang Yongsheng finally expressed his intentions.
In fact, Xu Qiang also knew that there is no love without reason in the world. From the very beginning, this group of people planned to recruit people and expand their business in the factory, and he was the target that Wang Yongsheng had set his sights on.
After all, the regular workers in the factory disdain to do such small business, and even look down on them. As for the temporary workers, most of them are timid and cowardly, and there are not many people like Xu Qiang who dare to contradict their leaders. This makes Wang Yongsheng feel that they are the same kind of people as himself and he should have the courage to do business with them.
Of course, this is not a bad thing. After all, Xu Qiang is willing to do things that can make more money. However, he will never be Wang Yongsheng's younger brother, and he is not willing to fight and make trouble with them.
"Yongsheng, I am honored that you guys think highly of me. I am also very grateful to you for what happened today. I will remember this favor." Xu Qiang smiled and then changed the subject, saying, "But I am very sorry that I cannot do business with you in the factory. It is not because of anything else, but because I have other things to do in the village after get off work..."
Xu Qiang's words were very tactful, but they were actually the truth. After all, the peat field couldn't do without him. If there was no business from the peat field, Xu Qiang might have really started a small business with these people. After all, who doesn't want to do something to make money?
"Xu Qiang, our Brother Sheng doesn't want just anyone. Although our business is not big, it is still something that can't be compared to working as an office worker. We don't want ordinary people to join us. It's really disrespectful of you to say that..." said the Little Steel Cannon Luo Zhongshun with a frown.
"Forget it. Everyone has their own aspirations. What's the point of having face? That thing is worth nothing." Wang Yongsheng glanced at the little cannon and continued, "Qiangzi is not like us. It's very difficult for people from his village to get into our factory. Moreover, they are temporary workers and can be fired at any time..."
"Although I can't do business with you after get off work, I can help you purchase some goods..." "Purchase goods? Do you have a purchasing channel?" When Wang Yongsheng heard Xu Qiang say this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I have a very good relationship with the director of our town's supply and marketing cooperative, and can buy some scarce items through him. In addition, I have a relative who works in a daily chemical factory in Shanghai, and I can get some cheap bulk soap, shampoo and other things from him..." Xu Qiang said.
"Can you get shampoo from Shanghai?" Hearing Xu Qiang say this, several people present immediately looked excited.
"Of course, but you can't get the finished product. They are all sold directly from the factory. But you can get some bulk products supplied internally, and the price is much cheaper than on the market..."
In fact, just now in the hospital, when Xu Qiang heard Wang Yongsheng talking to the female doctor, he already had some ideas.
Especially when the female doctor Li Lin mentioned the shampoo cream, Xu Qiang knew that if he mentioned these things to Wang Yongsheng and others at this time, the other party would definitely be interested.
Daily chemicals like soap and shampoo are the simplest daily chemicals for Xu Qiang. In his previous life, he was a technical consultant for many daily chemical factories, so he knew that some daily chemicals only needed a few simple equipment to be made. In the early years, some chemical companies started from small workshops, so the technical content was obvious. As for the formulas and related processes, Xu Qiang has at least dozens of formulas for soaps and shampoo. As long as the relevant raw materials are in place, he can mix them directly.
As for mass production, it is not within Xu Qiang's consideration. After all, a factory cannot have too much demand. He only needs to produce a hundred or so kilograms first, which should be enough to sell for a while.
The only problem that cannot be solved at the moment is the packaging of the products, so Xu Qiang can only provide them with some bulk goods.
It is impossible for Xu Qiang to only sell fertilizers forever. Now that there is a sales channel right in front of him, he naturally has to give it a try.
Moreover, if this product can be produced in small quantities, Xu Qiang can let his mother make money by producing at home, so that she doesn't need to do those hard farm work, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. "It doesn't matter if it's in bulk, as long as it's cheaper!" Wang Yongsheng said excitedly at this time.
In fact, people like Wang Yongsheng have very limited channels for purchasing goods. They usually treat the county supply and marketing cooperatives or store managers to meals and build relationships, and then rely on wholesale to purchase goods cheaply. But after all, they are not purchasing from the source manufacturers, so the price is not much cheaper, and naturally the profit is not much.
But if Xu Qiang could purchase directly from the manufacturer, the price would definitely be more competitive and the profit would be higher. Wang Yongsheng understood this clearly.
What's more, whether it is soap or shampoo, they are absolutely hot-selling products in their factory. After all, it is difficult to buy them even in the county, so almost every time they are restocked, they will be sold out, especially the young female workers in the factory who have high incomes and love beauty, so even if these things are sold at a higher price, they will still sell well.
"Okay, but you have to wait. I have to send a telegram to my relative first, and he will ask someone to deliver it. It will probably take at least a week..."
If Xu Qiang wants to make shampoo, he must first buy the raw materials and then conduct trial production. He may need to debug it repeatedly in the middle, so he must leave himself enough time.
"One week is one week." Wang Yongsheng laughed and said, "Then it's settled. I'll wait for your good news next week!"
"No problem!" Xu Qiang said with a smile.
"Come on, let's go one more brother!" When Xiao Gangpao saw that the deal was done, he immediately filled the glasses in front of Xu Qiang and Wang Yongsheng, then raised his glass and said.
The next moment, everyone stood up, clinking their glasses, and then drank it all...
