Chapter 28 – Daily output of 80,000 pieces, impressive?

The village chiefs left not long ago.

The township chief ran into the office building.

He said that there was a truck carrying flour that overturned outside the east gate. The township secretary who went out to attract investment happened to encounter it on the way back. He quickly called people from the township compound and the security office to maintain order.

But there were many people from other towns who came to the fair, and the scene was a bit chaotic. They planned to transfer a few workers from the toy factory to help.

Xu Fei immediately arranged Da Ma to lead twenty salespeople, five security guards, and eight trained hooligans to go to the accident site.

After that, he leaned over the computer and made a form.

The collective shares are related to everyone's interests.

Some people are willing to transfer because they can get a high salary in the toy factory, but there are also some people who, due to various problems, cannot temporarily go out to work. Will these people transfer their collective shares for no reason?

Therefore, it will take one or two days for each village to solve the issue of profit distribution.

In addition.

Although there were thousands of people gathered outside the gate of the toy factory, only a small part of them met the conditions for employment and were willing to abide by the work rules.

Just like the employee rules, it requires full-time commitment.

You cannot take leave every other day just because your aunt's birthday is today, your distant cousin's funeral is tomorrow, and your second cousin's wedding is the day after tomorrow.

Moreover, there are only five days of vacation during the busy farming season, and the villagers have to form teams to harvest and plant. After this vacation, they cannot be absent from work without reason.

And living in the countryside, where there is a strong sense of human touch, just these two rules alone would eliminate a large number of people.

Adding other requirements such as age, health, personal hygiene, no smoking, no contagious diseases, and obeying the three-shift schedule...

Another large number of people would be eliminated.

In summary, it would be considered good if Yellow Mud Hillock's twenty-something villages could gather two hundred people.

As for the second round of recruitment by the toy factory, they only needed one hundred people. What about the other one hundred people?

Whoever gives up their collective shares first and enters the factory first, the remaining villages will draw lots, and whoever draws the lot will enter the factory first.

When the toy factory expands again, everyone will be able to enter.

After making the decision, Xu Fei made several forms, filling in the information for member shares, the second round of recruitment arrangements, the three-shift schedule, and the candidate for the internship supervisor.

After finishing the busy work, he then considered the issue of product variety.

In the past two days, the sales team mentioned multiple times that the tinplate frogs were not selling well.

This made Xu Fei very sad.

The "Frog Monster" was created by him using his own imagination. It was probably unique in the world.

Yet no one could appreciate it!

So they could only stop production.

In this way, with the total power and output unchanged, the daily output of the ten traditional production lines, including the tinplate frogs, would reach 80,000 pieces.

The issue of product variety became even more severe.

Therefore, Xu Fei began to look for new products.

Tinplate toys belonged to the 1960s and 1970s. Now that they were entering the new century, they naturally couldn't use the same appearance as back then.

Coincidentally, their own production line could adjust the appearance and design based on imagination.

If they could imitate the current popular toys, make some modifications, and add a wind-up mechanism...

Perhaps they could make a big profit before applying for bankruptcy!

He opened the search engine.

He searched for the most popular type of toys.

First was plastic, cloth dolls, and inflatables. The top-ranked one was Sun Wukong and his golden cudgel. Most of them were produced by small workshops, but they couldn't withstand the overwhelming competition and couldn't calculate the sales volume.

"Tinplate Sun Wukong? Tinplate golden cudgel? That's a bit difficult."

"Tinplate windmill? Tinplate sandbag?"

Xu Fei thought for a moment and felt that the scenes would be too bloody.

He continued to browse.

Next were building blocks and puzzles, with various types. The most famous one was Lego, with annual sales of over one billion yuan, but the profits were continuously declining. Some netizens analyzed that there might be a significant price increase in the future.

"Let's forget about ordinary building blocks. This assembly Gundam has some potential."

"If this company called Lego dares to raise the price of building blocks, we can take advantage of the opportunity and enter the market without the need for additional production lines. We can produce a batch of tinplate Gundams with wind-up mechanisms."

Xu Fei quickly picked up his notebook and wrote down this idea.

Then he continued to browse.

Next were cloth dolls, water rings, lucky stars, plastic braided ropes, and tumbling dolls...

After that, it was still Gundam, but not the assembly version. There were also Mobile Suit, Transformers, and Firepower Warrior Yo-Yo.

Behind them were electronic pets, the Little Tyrant handheld game console, and the Little Tyrant learning machine, and other electronic products.

"It seems that the more difficult it is to manufacture a toy, the less it sells, but the higher the profit."

"Especially the Little Tyrant series. How much money does this boss make every year?"

Xu Fei clicked on the post author and planned to read other posts written by the person.

"Discussion on the diversity of toy consumer groups."

The main consumer group for children's toys is parents. As long as parents approve, there is no need to worry about sales.

The teenage toy consumer group is half parents and half teenagers who have their own pocket money.

The young adult toy consumer group depends on whether the toy is trendy and widely known. The best example is the "Little Tyrant Learning Machine."

As for adult toys, it becomes complicated and depends on the purpose.

"I guess this person also makes toys."

Xu Fei typed on the keyboard and left a comment in the comment section, "Hey, are you there?"

Three minutes later.

There was a reply in the comment section: "Here!"

"Do you make toys?"

"Yes, are you too?"

"I just started a factory, and now I'm worried because there are too few product varieties. Can I ask you a question?"

"Feel free to ask."

"For example, if I imitate the Gundam robot, change the appearance and color, and not call it Gundam during sales and promotion, would that be copyright infringement?"

After a moment, the other person replied, "What you're doing is not imitation, it's independent design."

"Is that so?"

"Definitely. However, even if you can change the molds on the production line, if you want to increase production, you will still need to prepare more production lines. Moreover, there is not just one type of Gundam. To produce this category, you would need at least three to four hundred production lines. Also, the price of plastic has recently increased."

"It's fine even if the price of plastic increases. I make tinplate toys."

After a moment, the reply came, "Brother, don't mess around. Making tinplate toys requires mold pressing equipment. If you want to achieve the same production volume as plastic products, how many mold pressing equipment do you need? That would require a huge investment."

"The company has enough money. Let's give it a try."

"May I ask how much is your company's daily output?"

"Tinplate toys, around 80,000."

"Daily production?"

"Yes."

"With such high production, does your company still need to imitate Gundam?"

"Why can't we imitate?"

"Daily production of 80,000 pieces, monthly production of 2.4 million pieces, annual production of 28.8 million pieces, annual sales of more than 50 million, and these are just tin toys, is your company Kangyuan Can Factory?"

"No."

"With your company's tin toy sales, you can completely buy exclusive rights, or create a new brand. Are you joking with me?"

"Actually, we created new toys, but they didn't sell well."

Three minutes later.

"Bro, are you still there?"

Five minutes later.

"Bro?"

Ten minutes later.

Xu Fei thought for a moment and posted a message.

He didn't dare to ask how big a toy factory with a daily production of 80,000 pieces was, so he changed the question:

"I plan to set up a toy factory to produce tin toys, aiming for a daily production of 8,000 pieces. How much investment is needed?"

First floor: Ha, brother, you're going to be rich!

Second floor: Hello, boss!

Third floor: The person above should add a 'big', hello big boss!

Fourth floor: Where is it? Are you hiring? I can come over now!

Sixth floor: Brother, I'm in foreign trade, OICQ***, let's chat privately.

Seventh floor: The person above is a liar, I'm the one in foreign trade, OICQ...

Eighth floor: The two above are both liars, their purpose is to promote OICQ...

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

Xu Fei ignored the subsequent spam and advertisements, and seriously looked through the comments.

"My God, a daily production of 8,000 requires an investment of millions."

"A daily production of 80,000 pieces, wouldn't that require an investment of tens of millions?"

"This bluffing foreign enterprise is going to be exposed!"
