Chapter 96 The Whampoa Military Academy of Mattress Industry
Shenzhen in 1986 was a huge construction site, with construction sites under construction everywhere.
High-rise buildings rose from the ground.
And created a miracle, Shenzhen speed!
The 53-story Guomao Building is located on the bottom of the building every five days. It reaches more than ten floors and is accelerated again, and it becomes once every three days.
Some people say that Shenzhen’s speed is actually the concentration of China’s speed.
Even in later generations, it is difficult to get one floor in three days. It is difficult for people who have never experienced it to believe this is the truth. Just like no one dares to imagine that it took China only a few decades to settle down from poverty to catching up with Europe and the United States.
The most important thing is that European and American wealth is based on war and plunder, while China is based on diligent hands of the people.
Zhang Junping took everyone to Shenzhen, the main purpose was to open everyone's eyes and further strengthen their confidence in the country's reform and opening up.
Standing under the Guomao Building, everyone was stunned, opened their mouths wide and couldn't speak.
They don’t know how to express it or how to vent their excitement.
He just opened his mouth wide and made a speechless ah.
"78 years ago, this was a small fishing village, synonymous with poverty and backwardness. The lives of the people here are not as good as our Jinhe Village!
After Deng Gong decided to reform and open up, he drew a circle here, and today's changes occurred!
I had previously said that I would develop our Jinhe Furniture Factory into the largest furniture factory in the country and sell furniture abroad. You all think I am bragging!
Now you can see that such a small fishing village can become a metropolis within a few years!
This is a very good era. As long as you dare to think and do it, there is no impossible!" Zhang Junping pointed at the Guomao Building to brainwash everyone.
Standing under the Guomao Building and telling the construction process of the Guomao Building, Zhang Junping himself couldn't help but feel a strong sense of national pride.
It allowed everyone to feel what Shenzhen speed is, and after personally experiencing the huge changes brought about by reform and opening up, they began to implement the second purpose.
In addition to opening his eyes, he also had another purpose, which was to visit another Whampoa Military Academy.
The Whampoa Military Academy, which is the spring mattress industry, can be said that several major mattress factories in the south have an indescribable relationship with this Whampoa Military Academy, Yalan Mattress.
Yalan Mattress is also a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, mainly producing mattresses and sofas.
Yalan mattresses entered China earlier than Dixin Furniture. As early as 1978, when China was just reformed and opened up, Yalan had already entered China.
At first, Yalan only sold imported spring machines through agency sales, such as domestic sales.
In 1982, it acquired the Hong Kong bedding factory and officially entered China and settled in Shenzhen.
In addition to visiting the Yalan Mattress Factory, Zhang Junping also has another purpose, which is to purchase imported spring machines through Yalan Mattress.
The production process of mattresses is not complicated. Just a spring mattress can be made with a spring machine.
Even without a spring machine, it can be produced, it is nothing more than ordering springs from other manufacturers.
In the 1990s, many workshop-style mattress factories were born in Guangzhou.
They do not produce springs themselves, and all materials are purchased from outside, and then processed into mattresses and sold to the public.
Zhang Junping naturally was unwilling to be such a production workshop. He is a systematic man, and it is too embarrassing to be a colleague to set up a workshop.
If it is not done well, the system will despise him and leave him.
In fact, although Jinhe Furniture Factory does not produce spring mattresses, their sofas also require springs, which are naturally purchased from Yuan Urban Spring Factory.
Zhang Junping was unwilling to rely on procurement of all raw materials, or was not satisfied with the springs produced by the Yuandu Spring Factory, so he decided to produce the springs by himself.
Of course, what is more important is to better control quality.
The key to the quality of a spring mattress lies in the quality of the spring.
For example, a certain mattress claims to be constantly stepped on. Put a mattress at the entrance of the furniture mall, step on it casually, break a spring, and reward 10,000 yuan in cash.
Little do you know that the continuous spring is just the most basic quality requirement of a spring mattress.
The quality of spring mattresses is more reflected in comfort.
However, the Chinese people only use this one. In the 1980s and 1990s, and even in the 21st century, sturdiness and durability were the criteria for ordinary people to choose.
A certain mattress became popular because of this, and suddenly became a well-known brand in the country, with sales volume increasing by more than ten times.
...
Yalan's trip went quite smoothly. Not only did they take everyone to visit Yalan's workshop, but they also visited the production process of spring mattresses.
The main ones are Yalan's bedding and sofa style.
Zhang Junping not only purchased spring machines, but also purchased five imported precision push table saws and five woodworking milling machines through Yalan.
Woodworking milling machines can be used to open tenons or process curved surfaces. They are a new type of woodworking machinery.
After signing the contract, Zhang Junping's passbook lost more than one million yuan at once.
Among these woodworking machinery, spring machines are the most expensive, hundreds of thousands of yuan.
It is more than half more expensive than domestic equipment, and it is even nearly one-third more expensive than buying the same equipment from other channels.
But there is no way. If you want to purchase imported woodworking machinery and equipment, you need foreign exchange.
For the time being, he couldn't get foreign exchange, so he had to deliver it to his door and let him kill him.
After arguing with Yalan for delivery time and payment of a deposit, Zhang Junping simply left Yalan mattress.
Everyone was already numb to Zhang Junping's big moves, and even Dong Yaozong didn't say much.
In his opinion, buying woodworking machinery is a serious matter. Although he is very complaining about Zhang Junping's admiration for foreign countries and putting domestic machinery on the market, he insists on buying so-called imported machinery, but the money is owned by Zhang Junping, and he can't say anything.
On that day, Zhang Junping and his group did not return to Guangzhou, but found a hotel in Shenzhen and stayed there.
"Hu Zi, just find a guesthouse for one night. How much does it cost to stay in such a good place?" This time Dong Yaozong could no longer hold it.
The other people also had the same thoughts. They obviously had a guesthouse worth ten yuan, but they didn't want to stay in a hotel worth more than one hundred. They really had money to burn.
"Uncle, please stay at ease, no matter how much money you have!
You have benefited from my dad and the others, so don’t feel sorry for me!”
Zhang Junping felt sorry for a room of more than 100 yuan, but in order to help his father, Zhang Junshan and others better understand the decoration plan he designed, he had to spend the money.
"Dad, do you still remember the decoration plan I designed for the instrument factory guesthouse?
Although this is different from my plan, it generally has a lot in common. You can study it carefully and have a clear idea in your mind!”
