Chapter 429 Air Transport (First Update)

"We received many calls from children, as well as statistics from various electrical appliance and car stores, asking us to release the cartoon in advance."

"In addition, there are film companies in Hollywood that have also conveyed such requests." In London, on the distributor's side, the person in charge of the film department reported the work.

"But we are not ready yet. A large part of the toys are still at sea." The dealer said.

"I personally think we need to increase orders for toys. I believe that once the toys are on the market, they will be extremely popular." Someone suggested.

"Millions of pounds of toys are nothing, but transportation and distribution take a lot of time."

"It's mainly piracy. I believe once it becomes popular, there will be a lot of pirated toys."

"This is inevitable. We can only intensify the crackdown."

"I personally don't recommend that movies be released early because many children are still trying to earn movie tickets."

"Haha!" Everyone laughed. In fact, everyone also knows that adults deliberately do this for children to earn pocket money. They should let children know that making money is not easy and there is a concept of financial management.

If you really want to watch a movie, I believe most people are still willing to listen to their children’s advice.

"I think the most important thing is the second season. Let's not let go of the summer season." Some people are thinking about the second season again.

"We can't talk about this at the moment. We haven't seen the results of the first season yet." Someone shook his head and refused.

"Then go as planned." The screening here is scheduled to be released one week before Christmas. This is mainly to avoid other movies. After all, no one expected the box office before it was released.

"But we can add another two million orders." Everyone finally decided unanimously.

In other words, six million pounds of toys have been prepared, which are not many in the world.

It was already mid-December when Liu Hai heard the news. Sun Aiguo continued to report about the heavy transport vehicle. It passed the test. With these few words, Liu Hai felt relieved.

As for the torpedo boats, this test completely exceeded expectations.

"The number of torpedo boat engines next year is 6000, and there are also MTC marine diesel engines. The dealer has placed a lot of ship orders." Sun Aiguo sat in the maintenance department and took a sip of tea after speaking.

"That's good. I'm still afraid of any accidents." Liu Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he no longer needed to take care of the two projects. If something unexpected happened, it would delay his plans.

"The other thing is toys. The dealer has added two orders in less than half a month. Previously, they wanted 200 million pounds of goods, but in the past half month they have added million pounds of goods. Fortunately, I listened to your suggestions. The molds and materials are all fully prepared.”

When Liu Hai heard this, he felt that the toys might explode. After all, classics are classics. Which boy can refuse Transformers? Just like girls can’t resist Barbie dolls.

"In this case, I suggest you be bolder. A few million pounds is a lot, but the population of European and American countries is huge, and European and American countries are developed and rich." Liu Hai still put forward his own opinion.

"Forget it, we didn't ask for our opinion, so we won't say anything more."

"The leaders in the department privately praised: Comrade Xiao Liu is a good comrade. We have suggested that the leader change his coat many times, but no one was hired. When Xiao Liu stepped in, the leader changed his coat to a new fur coat." Sun Aiguo followed suit. The tone of the leader in the department said.

"Hit by mistake." Liu Hai chuckled. The coat won't keep you warm if it lasts too long. It's cold here in Kyoto, so a fur coat is much better than a patched cotton coat.

"You are such a good person. Last time, the secretary of the superior leader came. I only realized how excited I was. However, our life is much better now than before. It's time for a change of superior leader." Sun Aiguo began. I don’t understand either.

"Cotton won't keep you warm after wearing a cotton-padded jacket for a long time. I always change it every few years, not to mention that the leader is older than me." Liu Hai shook his head and said.

"I have an idea here, which is to provide some college quotas to support workers in our factory who attend night schools to enter college. What do you think?" Sun Aiguo asked again.

When Liu Hai heard this, he murmured in his heart. He seemed to remember that the factory could recommend going to college?

"Didn't our factory also recommend going to college before?" Liu Hai asked.

"That is a recommendation. What I mean is that if you open a high school and directly take the college entrance examination, no recommendation is needed. Our factory is all from rural areas, and some young people are very hard-working. I think these workers should not be limited to our factory. It is just a simple For example, it is enough for our factory to have a genius like you."

"Of course they are willing to come back after graduating from college, and we welcome them." Sun Aiguo said again.

"Of course this is a good idea." Liu Hai nodded. This is of course a good idea. In the future, we still need to learn enough cultural knowledge, and whether these people will remember the factory after they leave.

"Why don't we simply cooperate in running universities? For example, if some universities need to study something, we can provide convenience. If students need internships, we can also provide venues?" Liu Hai suggested.

"The idea is good, but there are some cross-department matters. The wind tunnel laboratory we cooperate with Chang'an University of Technology is handled by the whole department."

"This is a cooperation between the school and the enterprise. It is an act of mutual aid between brotherly units. During the summer and winter holidays, it can also provide students with work-study opportunities to earn money as internships. What do you think?" Liu Hai came from a later generation and knew that some things don't have to be so big.

"This is a good idea, this is a good idea." Sun Aiguo's eyes lit up. Xiao Liu's statement was a good one. Brothers and units can help each other.

As for keeping things confidential, Liu Hai doesn't need to remind him. The factory director knows better than Liu Hai himself.

"In addition, I also got a batch of medical equipment for you to facilitate your research. After all, getting it in the car is not as good as getting it in the hospital." Sun Aiguo said again.

"Thank you, director." Liu Hai nodded, it would be better to have a batch of equipment.

"Don't be so polite. We are not outsiders, we are just working hard for you." Sun Aiguo shook his head.

Liu Hai nodded and said nothing, and Sun Aiguo added: "Now every Christmas, our leaders here are more anxious than those abroad."

"Several major ports in Shandong are already operating at full capacity. Any port that can be repaired there will be repaired next year." Sun Aiguo said again.

“After the Spring Festival, we will recruit 5,000 new workers, train them for three months, and divide them up. Those with good talent will be trained for another three months, and those with average talent will be put on the job as interns for three months, and then prepare for the production of dog carts next year. "Sun Aiguo said again.

"Director, what you are doing is simply... to those people in the northwest and southwest." Liu Hai didn't know what to say.

Over the years, the motorcycle factory has recruited nearly 100,000 people from poor areas in the southwest, northwest, and Central Plains. It was okay in the past few years, but in recent years, it has been 5,000 or 3,000. Three months of training school, three months of internship, and then distribution Other factories.

A student means a family. At this time, what is the concept of having a formal worker in a family? Even an apprenticeship costs close to 20 yuan a month, let alone these educated people. As long as they pass the training, they will be apprentices and internships. After expiration, they will be classified as first-level workers. If they are sent to other factories, they will immediately belong to the old workers. As second-level workers, some with technical skills will have technical positions.

A family's income of more than 200 yuan a year, although he uses part of it, can he support the family even if it is 5 yuan a month?

"I am also a farmer, and I know the hardships of farmers, and children of farmers can endure hardship, but those in the city cannot. This is why I want to open a high school to provide an opportunity for these children who want to continue studying." Sun Aiguo said.

Liu Hai nodded. If the high school is established in the first half of this year, then the first batch of students will be the batch from the factory a few years ago. The factory director should think so after seeing many students with good academic performance.

"In a few years, we will open a university of our own." Liu Hai said with a smile.

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Sun Aiguo shook his head.

Liu Hai smiled slightly. When his helicopter and fighter jet engines come out, he will not believe that he will not be able to run a university. In the future, the university will build its own aircraft carrier and name it: MTC Science 001!

Sun Aiguo left with suspicion. He finally felt that there was something wrong with that smile with bangs?

Liu Hai calculated in his mind, Red Fox Auto, Pioneer Auto, and Dog Auto next year. Shandong will produce at least two to three million cars a year. How many supporting steel plants and other factories will be needed? The Bohai Rim Economic Belt is developing at this time. .

The main reason is that the Bohai Sea area is safe now, and the southeastern coast will not be safe until Baldou's death.

There are three industrial circles in this era. One is the Zhuhai Basin. After the dredging of the Pearl River, motorcycles and small household appliances are mainly located there.

In the southwest region, factories for motorcycles, vans, excavators, assault vehicles, loaders, cables, hydraulic equipment, etc. have been built. There are also large steel companies there.

The largest ones are the Bohai Economic Circle surrounding Shandong, the small aircraft industrial zone in Caofeidian, and the Dalian Shipyard that is about to take off.

Generally speaking, heavy industries are located in the Bohai Economic Circle and the southwest. On the Pearl River side are small household appliances and motorcycle-related industries.

"Forget it, you shouldn't worry about it yourself." Liu Hai knew why a large number of ports were built in Shandong.

The children of the motorcycle factory quickly passed the high school program. Sun Aiguo took a group of young people in the factory who had the best scores in the night school exam and asked them to go to and from get off work on time and study every night to prepare for the 71 college entrance examination.

The motorcycle factory here recruits students with good grades from remote mountainous areas. It is not a problem to go to college. There is no money during college. You can also go back to the motorcycle factory to work-study during the winter and summer vacations. You can even come back to work if you want to on Sunday. After all, it is all For experienced people, the dormitory is also kept, which is equivalent to being suspended without pay, and the benefits are not less. December 1970, 12, Sunday, today is the premiere of the animated movie Transformers. Many children urged their parents to buy tickets together.

The film company did not invite any film critics or reporters, and the film company did not announce it. However, the major cinemas still arranged a lot of films. After all, in the territory of the distributor, no one dares to give some face. Believe it or not, there will be a power outage. Maintenance, gas maintenance, water pipe maintenance.

Therefore, many film critics complained in newspapers. When the president of the film company was interviewed, he made it clear that this was a movie for children and should not be evaluated by adults.

The news media didn’t report much, but word of mouth actually picked up. According to the survey, 30% of people said they were willing to accompany their children to watch it, while 20% said they wanted to wait and see, and 20% were unsure. The rest said they had never heard of it.

"Today's tickets have been sold out." At ten o'clock in the morning, Phoenix Cinema sold out all five shows today, which disappointed many children who came.

"Then let's buy it for tomorrow night." Many parents didn't expect it to be gone so soon, so they asked.

"Sorry, there's nothing I can do about this." The conductor was so busy at work that he finished today's work in less than two hours. Someone asked about tomorrow's work, but the conductor managed to avoid spitting on him, and then hung up a machine that he hadn't used for a long time. Tickets are sold out with a sign, so prepare to have a good rest.

So many parents looked at their children's disappointed eyes, looked at the posters, and hurried to other places. Unfortunately, they were already sold out.

Many children started plowing snow, shoveling snow, or walking dogs to earn money during winter vacation, just to see the Autobots today.

Of course, this news also alarmed the dealers, and the president of the film company also looked in disbelief. It was not even noon, and all the tickets were sold out?

By the time the dealers gathered together, the first show in the morning had finished and the second show had begun. Now they were just waiting for word of mouth.

Many newspapers are also waiting in front of the cinema, waiting for the first production of this small film company.

"Hi, what do you think of the movie?" A reporter saw people coming out of the cinema and hurriedly came up and asked.

A teenager, looking at a reporter, said, "I don't break the rules, but I try to bend them as much as possible?"

"What?" The reporter asked with a question mark on his forehead.

"Sorry, this is a line from a movie." The child's father explained.

"So what do you think of this animated movie?"

"It's a very magical idea. A car turns into a car person, a motorcycle person, and an airplane person. This is the most focused thing I have ever seen him do." The man patted his son on the shoulder and said. .

"Daddy, I want to watch it a second time."

"But you have no money."

"I can help you walk your dog."

"Five weeks?"

"Two weeks."

"No, four weeks."

"three weeks."

"Deal." Then the father and son went to the place where movie tickets were sold, and then looked at each other.

"Let's go early tomorrow," the child said.

"No, I have to go to work tomorrow."

"I clean the inside of the house."

"One week."

"No, you are exploiting."

Then the two father and son left. The reporter saw that many children asked to watch the second show, but unfortunately there were no tickets.

The reporter asked a lot of children and got a positive answer, but some said they didn't like it, thinking it was a certain company's advertisement because it contained cars from a certain company.

Not to mention, today is also the day when the toys are released at the same time. Many children came to the place where they often see samples and saw the toys, Transformers toys.

Before today's movie ends, the half-million pounds of toys sold here in London are gone, all gone, and dealers are calling here one after another.

We have prepared 6 million pounds worth of goods, but less than half of the goods have gone to local places around the world. Some are still at sea, and some are still at the manufacturer.

The distributors were waiting for the box office, but they didn't expect to hear this news.

"No more? No more toys worth 500,000 pounds?" The dealers were drinking tea and chatting together when they were shocked by the sudden news.

"Yes, no more. The dealers are calling to ask for them. Some of the children who didn't buy the toys just stayed in the store and cried." The person responsible for the toys is also responsible for small household appliances.

These adults can never imagine what the mentality of a good neighbor next door is like holding a Bumblebee Transformer in his hand and proudly announcing, "I am Bumblebee."

"Hurry up and make a reservation."

"How much do you want to book?"

"Produce as many as you want, and then transport the inventory by cargo plane from Hong Kong Island, fast. Tomorrow morning, there must be Transformers in the London store, no matter how many." The dealer heard this and took a deep breath. Cigar, then said.

"agree."

"Agreed." The others nodded.

The call went directly to Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong Island made an urgent call to the mainland. You must know that it was early morning in the mainland.

Fortunately, there are people on duty in all departments, after all, it is the most critical time.

"It's gone in a few hours?" The person in charge in China was also dumbfounded. He quickly called the factory below to start production and start up the equipment. They took turns working overtime and asked for molds.

Less than an hour after the call, Hong Kong Island called again, and the goods were prepared at a minimum of 50 million pounds.

Because there are two million pounds worth of toys placed all over Europe, and they are gone before dark. This is because they are sold together with London, that is, they are sold at 12 noon in London, and they are sold at 1 p.m. in Germany.

The first show of the movie started at 9 o'clock in London time, and it was 10 o'clock in Germany. The distributors didn't get the news until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, it was one o'clock in the morning in China.

Fifty million pounds, so many toys?

It’s also midnight here on Hong Kong Island, so we pack the toys overnight and put them on the plane. They must be delivered to London tomorrow morning. No matter how much the goods are, every dealer must have them. If they don’t, it will give customers a bad idea.

The next morning, Liu Hai came to the maintenance department from his hometown. When he entered the door, he found the factory director waiting here: "Director?"

"Toys are selling like crazy. The dealers are asking for goods worth at least 50 million pounds. The bosses are crazy busy. I was called to the factory in the middle of the night. The mold workshop is working overtime to produce toy molds." Sun Aiguo said with a yawn.

"So much." Liu Hai didn't expect that the dealer would need so many goods.

"It is said that all the toys were sold out in three hours yesterday, and there were still children crying in the store." Sun Aiguo almost understood it, just like his own children want good things when other people's children have them.

"And all the inventory in Hong Kong Island will be transported to London by air today, and all subsequent shipments will be transported by air." Sun Aiguo continued.

"And this movie has a good reputation and should have a lot of box office." The more Sun Aiguo looked at Liu Hai, the more he felt that he was a genius. He could do anything to make money. If this were in the West, he would be the next Einstein.

　Second update at noon
