These days, there are two sets of standards for making toys.
One is the European standard, and the other is the national standard.
The European standard represents exports and restricts the specific heavy metal content in toys, up to 19 types. It must use non-toxic and harmless raw materials, non-hazardous dyes, and have stable physical characteristics without involving other chemicals.
The national standard represents domestic sales, with no specific limits. Whether it meets the standard or not depends on one's own words.
The certificate of the tin toy factory is handled by the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. It is definitely compliant in Gucheng County and probably compliant in Swamp City, but what about Dongshan Prefecture... Who is the Supply and Marketing Cooperative?
The new tin frogs and Mechanical Three Kingdoms, made of metal iron, with curled edges and electroplated appearance, fully comply with the European standard, otherwise they would not be sought after by foreign traders.
But if the national standard becomes strict, for example, if someone opens the toy, disassembles the winding mechanism, holds the winding mechanism with their palm and pulls it, causing their hand to bleed, how do we explain that it was a cut?
Therefore, when Xu Fei saw that the other party did not come to the office building but went to the workshop and warehouse in batches, he knew that the toy factory was in trouble and immediately called Lao Huang.
There are about 250,000 pieces of inventory in the past three days, and they have already been shipped.
The price of the warhorses has increased by five yuan, about 20,000 pieces. The Mechanical Three Kingdoms set is six yuan, about 230,000 sets. Adding the remaining 1 million loan, after Lao Huang pays the sales staff's salary, he should have 1.8 million in hand.
The phone is connected.
"Lao Huang, summarize the existing funds and deposit them into your personal account. Find a place to hide for a few days."
"What's wrong, little nephew? Did someone report your dog-selling business?"
"..."
It's already this time, why do you still remember that old thing?
Xu Fei was annoyed, "The factory may be sealed."
"Don't worry, our uncle and nephew are of one mind. Let's go to my grandmother's temple in my mother's hometown together."
"No need, I'm just a worker. Hide the money well, so that we won't be broke in the future."
"Got it!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Fei checked the company's account.
Because he gave himself a bonus of 1.5 million in the morning, the remaining 1 million was also remitted to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative through the post and telecommunications bureau. Now there is only 70,000 yuan left.
However, the money has not been given to Lou Nannan yet, and personal income tax will be deducted next month. Therefore, the personal account still has 1.5 million yuan.

In terms of liabilities, he owes the credit union 500,000 yuan and owes the employees five days' wages.
No problem!
Xu Fei directly contacted the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, "Leader, Director Shang asked me to ask for the TEP foreign investment application form yesterday. I called over there and found out that TEP is withdrawing its investment and is planning to take back the equipment, saying that the domestic environment is too complicated and they can't continue."
"How is that possible? Submit the application form to me, and I will handle it for them in minutes."
"I'm just a worker, I don't understand either. I will let the finance department settle it later. Last month's wages have been paid, and this month's wages will be calculated based on five days. The factory doesn't have much debt, so there is no need to go to court. Submit the bankruptcy application to the court and be done with it. Let's part ways like this."
"..."
Xu Fei hung up the call and contacted Director Shang again.
He used similar words, but kept the mention of Large Swamps Machinery.
After all, the latter is our own investment.
But Director Shang didn't know so much inside information. He thought that TEP was withdrawing its investment and that the toy factory was gone, and the tractor manufacturing project would definitely be scrapped as well.
This was originally supposed to be a promotion, but now it might be demoted by three levels. Who can handle it?
Director Shang immediately contacted the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and then the county leaders.
Soon, the technical supervision and inspection from Dongshan Prefecture learned about the toy factory.
However, everyone did not think that this incident caused TEP to withdraw its investment. The real reason should be that the foreign investment application form could not pass the review.
Director Shang originally planned to ask which city the application form was submitted to, but when he contacted someone, that person's phone was turned off. When he contacted the toy factory's landline, it was busy.
A group of people made phone calls, some called the city, and some went to Swamp City.
When the leaders of Swamp City learned about it, they were also extremely anxious.
The chief of the Dongshan Prefecture Council, that old lady, her husband was in the provincial government and used to be a leader in politics and law, as well as her old leader.
Otherwise, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative would not have listened to the suggestions of the Dongshan Prefecture Council.
Now that the matter is settled, the stock market of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative's subsidiary companies has hit the limit, over a thousand employees of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative have been laid off and reemployed, and the assets of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative are gradually being revitalized...
Not to mention him, even the provincial leaders probably wouldn't dare to mess around.
But now...
No, it's not a problem with the technical supervision and inspection, but where is the application form?
"Look for it. Such a big company, if the application form is not in Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, it should be at the provincial level. Just call the Foreign Investment Bureau and ask."
Okay, a bunch of calls were made.
TEP, which was slightly heard of in the news, was quite famous in the business community.
Even some local leaders who had not yet completed their investment targets for the year-end were pounding the table, saying, "If they can't do it, we'll do it. It's just a foreign investment application form. Give them ten copies. The factory must be brought over!"
……………
Tin Toy Factory.
The technical supervision and inspection personnel placed six or seven samples of the Mechanical Three Kingdoms on the desk.
As Xu Fei expected, whether it complies with the regulations or not depends on one's own words.
"After inspection, the toys produced by your company are suspected of serious violations, including the production of controlled knives..."
"Wait, what did you say?"
"The knives of Guan Yu, the spear of Zhang Fei, the spear of Zhao Yun..."
"...""Furthermore, the cape's edges are sharp, and the exterior paint of the product contains lead that significantly exceeds the standard..."
"But that's not right, our toys don't use paint, we use electroplating technology."
"Does electroplating not require paint?"
"..."
"The tin toy factory is suspected of illegal production, and administrative enforcement measures are now being implemented on the factory area, sealing the factory. The follow-up will be handed over to the East Mountain Industrial Bureau. If you have any objections, you can submit an application at any time."
Swipe, swipe, swipe...
The order was issued, and the white slip was released.
"Start clearing the area now, inventory the goods and seal them."
"Alright."
Xu Fei was well prepared and not surprised. He picked up the microphone of the factory broadcast, "Hey, comrades, due to special circumstances, the parent company TEP has decided to withdraw its investment. The tin toy factory will enter bankruptcy proceedings. This month's salary will be offset by toys, averaging 10 yuan per set, each person is limited to 25 sets. We can continue to watch TV and chat at my newly established tractor factory. Anyone who dares to mess around, my new factory will not accept."
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, the workshop workers indeed wanted to grab, and many even thought about taking the computers. But upon hearing the second half...
Isn't it just changing places?
Let's go, let's go.
What?
Take toys?
Such expensive things, can they be sold at Yellow Mud Hillock?
It's better to wait until the new factory, and let Factory Director Little Xu make up for it.
"So, are we changing clothes?"
"Change what, there's no logo on it, just lose the chest piece work card, wash it later, and continue to wear it at the tractor factory. We can even save some money for Factory Director Little Xu."
"Sounds reasonable."
"So where is our new factory?"
"Hey, I've actually heard about it. It's by the provincial road in Large Swamps. Militia have caught a lot of people to clean up there. Later I heard that they got another 3000 acres. Now there are several technicians from the county busy surveying and mapping."
"How about, shall we go and take a look?"
"Feel the land, we're idle anyway."
"How about bringing the iron shovel, clean up together, build the new factory earlier, maybe Factory Director Little Xu will be happy and pay us!"
"Uh... Factory Director Little Xu, how did you pop up again?"
"..."
"Factory Director Little Xu is right, I'll go back to the village and call people. It happens that the old men who went to work in the northeast have all come back."
Whoosh...
In no time, the factory was empty.
Immediately after.
Lou Xiaohu called the security guards, picked up the computers one by one and loaded them into the Jinbei Sea Lion, transporting them to the office next to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
The cleaning ladies moved chairs and lifted tables, following closely behind.
The electrician uncles were pulling and dragging the electric wires and telephone lines, busily enjoying themselves.
Big Ma climbed onto the roof of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, took out a banner from his arms: "Supply and Marketing Cooperative Chain Microcomputer Room, grand opening, three days of free play and a free bottle of cola!"
Tang Mo was confused, "Factory Director, what should I do?"
"Go be a cashier, bring in a batch of cola!"
"Oh!"
The new clerks were also very puzzled, "What about us?"
"Go practice typing, familiarize yourself with the forms, the salary will be paid in the name of the tractor factory."
The technical supervisor came over, but before he could speak.
Xu Fei waved his hand, "I've read the law, during the factory closure, if the equipment and products are lost, you are fully responsible. Remember, you must take good care of the 80,000 sets of Golden Jumping Frogs. Those are new products that TEP is preparing for a super company in the Asia-Pacific region to go public, 100 yuan per set. If they are lost, well, 8 million, even if you sell the provincial courtyard, you can't afford to compensate."
"..."
"Also, the office does not belong to the toy factory, it's rented to me personally by the Supply and Marketing Cooperative."
"..."
"Remember, Yellow Mud Hillock is very chaotic, you must take good care of the 80,000 sets of Toad Monsters, no, Golden Jumping Frogs!"
"..."
The toys were doing well and making so much money, Xu Fei certainly didn't want to go bankrupt.
But the other party caught his weak point, and now he could only use a delaying tactic, directly declaring bankruptcy. After all, going through the whole process, it would be half a year at the fastest, and three to five years at the slowest.
Now that he's bankrupt, the other party naturally has no way to proceed.
And we can get the offshore company at the end of the month. By then, we can establish TEP, complete the procedures, plus the two new power lines set up in Large Swamps, the production will surge, and the toy factory will rise again.
As for the Small Lake Town Toy Factory?
My factory is sealed, your factory shouldn't think about opening either.
Power cut!
