Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 450 Venture Capital (Fourth update, please subscribe)

Nanyang remains prosperous.

For most people, they will never come into contact with that unknown side of themselves.

Every day here is the same as the last.

People are rushing to work, making money, and of course spending money.

Some people are spending money to improve their lives, while others are spending money to expand production.

In short, everyone is in a hurry.

Because I was in a hurry, occasionally some passers-by would ride bicycles equipped with engines.

"Power bike!"

Seeing the power bicycle passing by the roadside, Yang Yuankai's face flashed with pride.

As soon as he entered the factory, although the sound of machine tools cutting parts was harsh, it was pleasant to Yang Yuankai's ears.

This was his first investment, and it was also an extremely successful investment. He founded "Happiness" Motorcycle with only 10,000 yuan.

Now, this former workshop has become a small factory with more than 100 workers.

four months ago. After Yang Yuankai met He Mingwei by chance on the street, he immediately decided to make his first investment in Nanyang, investing 10,000 yuan to build a workshop to produce engine bicycles.

"Go to Happy Motorcycle Company."

"Bring happiness to people!"

How long does it take to go from a workshop to a factory?
The answer is four months.

The popularity of market sales far exceeded Yang Yuankai's imagination, and dealers even blocked the door of the factory. Once a new car leaves the factory, they will buy it as soon as possible.

Because this is money!

Happy Motorcycle is the name given by He Mingwei to his "engine bicycle". The name may seem ordinary, but it reveals his expectations.

Everyone is very interested in this novel and cheap means of transportation, and it can indeed solve the problem of daily transportation, so it was sold out as soon as it was launched. Seeing this situation, Yang Yuankai immediately increased investment and purchased the remaining 3700 radio communication engines from the company, expanded the factory, and used the remaining US military engines to convert them into "engine bicycles" for continued sales.

It brings happiness to those who own it and wealth to those who produce it.

With an investment of 10,000 yuan, He Mingwei first bought 20 28-inch bicycles and 20 small engines, and then made his own accessories. Three months ago, the "power bicycles" began to be officially sold to the outside world.

Of course, Yang Yuankai didn't just give money and not ask questions. During the production period, he successively proposed improvement plans such as engine oil that easily stains clothes and the engine needs to be protected by shells. In the end, he successfully turned this so-called motorcycle into an actual " "Power Bicycle" was mass-produced and introduced to the market.

“Perhaps it’s time to invest more!”

When the car was about to enter the factory, Yang Yuankai saw an advertisement written on the outside wall of the factory.

With this thought in his mind, Yang Yuankai ordered the driver.

Simple and straightforward, but to a certain extent, the Happy Motorcycle can indeed make people happy.

Yang Yuankai, who was sitting in the car, looked at the bicycle going away and said softly.

Whether it is a busy worker or a machine, it symbolizes money and the return on his investment.

When Yang Yuankai came to He Mingwei's office, he could be seen leaning over and drawing something through the glass window. Even when he opened the door and entered, the other party did not notice him.

When I walked over and took a look, He Mingwei seemed to be drawing drawings. Not the drawing of the bike, but the engine. Yang Yuankai did not disturb him, but sat aside and read the newspaper and waited. He didn't know how long he had been waiting, but He Mingwei, who had been focusing on drawing the drawings, looked up and saw Yang Yuankai.

"Mr. Yang, you came just in time..."

He Mingwei quickly picked up the drawing and said.

"Look, this is the engine I just designed."

"Did you design it?"

Yang Yuankai said in surprise.

"It's just based on the original drawing. Mr. Yang, as you know, the company's remaining US military engines only have more than 3700 units. Now we have bought them all, but now we have received orders for 2000 units. According to the company's output, the engines will soon be used up. If you want to continue production, you have to build engines. Only in this way can we continue to produce."

Looking at the drawings in his hands, Yang Yuankai nodded with deep approval and said,

"Indeed, I came here to tell you this. The Xingfu A-type bike is very popular in the market, but have you ever thought about it? The market definitely needs bikes with lighter weight and higher horsepower engines."

Putting down the drawings, Yang Yuankai said,

"So, I think we need to hire more professionals, design better engines, and build better engine bikes. Mingwei, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes, that's how it should be."

He Mingwei scratched his head and said.

"Mr. Yang, you know, I am a mechanic. Although I am interested in engines and machinery, my level is always limited. What you said has simply spoken to my heart. If our company wants to develop, we must recruit Professional talents. However, producing engines and recruiting people all cost money..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Yuankai said.

"I will invest more."

Yang Yuankai is very confident about the market for Xingfu A-type motorcycles. They are cheap. The ex-factory price is only 20 yuan and the market price is 27 yuan. The price is only three times that of a bicycle, but it does not require manual pedaling and saves effort. Not to mention, the speed is much faster than human pedaling.

"By the way, one more thing. I plan to send a few cars to Saigon to see if we can explore the overseas market. After all, the overseas market is still very broad."

In fact, compared to Nanyang, many countries in Southeast Asia, India and even South America need such cheap engine bicycles. After all, compared to Nanyang, these areas have fewer public transportation facilities, and most people travel by bicycle. It's fine for nearby places, but once you need to go somewhere a little far away, riding a bicycle becomes very labor-intensive, time-consuming and inconvenient.

The Xingfu A-type motorcycle can just fill the gap in the market. Of course, the most important thing is that it is cheap-at a price of less than 30 yuan, it is definitely the cheapest motorcycle in the world.

In fact, as Yang Yuankai said, the overseas market is extremely broad. For Foton agricultural tricycles, its biggest market now is not Nanyang. The Foton 350 agricultural tricycle, which sells for only 46 yuan, has been popular as soon as it entered the Indian market. It is not only cheap, but also has a simple structure and is durable. In 46, Foton 37000 sold more than 4000 units in India, and more than 10 units were sold in Myanmar. Of course, this is also due to the "Imperial Preferential System" - Borneo's export tariffs on cars to India and Myanmar are only 20%. Even under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, export tariffs to Europe and other countries are generally around %. .

With their low prices, Foton 46 and Foton 48 agricultural tricycles are still popular in the market.

Now, even if the domestic market is not yet saturated, Yang Yuankai has already thought of the overseas market. After all, overseas is a big market with hundreds of millions of people.

"Then how about sending a few to Tangshan? I heard from Master Fang in the factory that rice dealers in southern Jiangsu and other places ride bicycles to the countryside to collect rice. Our happiness is not only fast, but also With a large load capacity, they will definitely be able to go further to harvest rice, and the market there will definitely be bigger.”

Although He Mingwei is nominally the legal person of the company, he always consults Yang Yuankai's opinions on management, and has even reached the point of following suit.

Yang Yuankai shook his head and said.

"In normal times, this would definitely be a good idea, but right now... Tangshan is in chaos, the city of Shanghai has fallen, and the company's staff stationed there are desperately withdrawing, so let's not get involved there."

Thinking of those friends stranded in Shanghai, Yang Yuankai couldn't help but sigh and said to himself.

"I don't know if they bought the ferry tickets. At this time, we must not be worried about money..."
