Chapter 124 patent in hand
"Years ago, the transformed toilet paper factory in Chiping City imitated our production of sanitary napkins. After we launched the day and night combination sanitary napkins, it didn't even take half a month. I heard that they also started to order night use from foreign factories. Machine parts for sanitary napkins."
Secretary Qu's message was received this morning.
Because Director Lan and Mr. Mark from the foreign machine factory are friends, after ordering sanitary napkin production machines and spare parts from abroad at the toilet paper factory in Chiping City, Mr. Mark called the factory immediately and informed the news.
Lan Shu heard that the toilet paper factory in Chiping City had transformed into sanitary napkins more than a month ago, and she felt that the factory manager of that factory was courageous enough!
Now that she knows that the other party is following the pace of her own factory and learning to make day and night combined sanitary napkins, she once again feels the executive ability of the other factory manager.
Compared to Secretary Qu's feeling that the other factory has been imitating them, this kind of imitative behavior is too shameless!
Lan Shu didn't feel much like this.
If an enterprise wants not to be eliminated and survive, it is not enough to be well-behaved.
It is to have leaders who can take the lead and have the idea of being one step ahead of others, so that the enterprise can go to the end in the competition.
Lan Shu is not afraid of others imitating herself, because it shows that the development of her factory is correct, and she is leading the entire industry.
Moreover, it is impossible for the toilet paper factory in Chiping City to immediately launch a combination of day and night sanitary napkins.
She turned her head and asked Secretary Qu, "What did Mark say besides saying that the toilet paper factory in Chiping City wants to order spare parts of the size of night-use sanitary napkins?"
At this time, when he was asked suddenly, Secretary Qu was slightly taken aback.
He was about to be blown up by the toilet paper factory in Chiping City imitating their behavior! But he found that Director Lan was still calm and calm, as if he knew this day would come.
Secretary Qu was unknowingly affected by Director Lan's calmness. He calmed down and thought carefully about Mr. Mark's words on the phone in the morning.
"Mr. Mark said, what patents are involved in the spare parts of the night-use sanitary napkin? Tell Factory Director Lan to call him back after you come back."
Qu Zhou was just repeating the original words. As for the meaning of this sentence, he couldn't understand or understand it.
Lan Shu nodded, "That's right, don't worry, it's not that easy for the toilet paper factory in Chiping City to produce night-use sanitary napkins. They can't do it without my consent!"
When she asked Mark to customize 200MM, 290MM and 360MM sanitary napkins, she also applied for patents for these three sizes of sanitary napkins abroad.
There is no such thing as a patent in China today, but it has been practiced in foreign countries for more than a hundred years, and the relevant regulations on patents are quite mature.
She has a patent in hand, and if other factories want to produce, they must purchase the right to use the patent from themselves.
Of course, Lan Shu would agree to the other party’s toilet paper factory to use 290MM night-use sanitary napkin spare parts, but they have to pay themselves patent fees every year.
This fee will be transferred to her through foreign machine manufacturers. The Chiping toilet paper factory would never have imagined that when they followed suit and sold night-use sanitary napkins, they would have to pay her.
It will take at least one or two months to apply for the right to use the patent over there, go through a set of procedures, and then get the spare parts produced by foreign machine manufacturers.
In the past two months, everyone knows that the day and night combination of their Yunrou sanitary napkins has been sold!
All Chiping City Toilet Paper Factory can do is to pay the money and then follow behind to pick up people's teeth.
Because of the time difference, it is still night abroad, so Lan Shu is not in a hurry to call Mark to talk about patent royalties.
She reassured Secretary Qu, then sat on the armchair behind her desk and made a few phone calls—
Just now she has seen almost all the production workshops in the factory, and the five machines in the sanitary napkin production workshop are running at the same time.
Various types of sanitary napkins are produced continuously.
For the allocation of five machines for the production of sanitary napkins, Lan Shu added a machine to produce 360MM and 200MM sanitary napkins on the basis of the previous two 240MM daily sanitary napkins and one 290MM night sanitary napkin.
The last one is to continue to produce daily sanitary napkins.
240MM daily-use sanitary napkins have the largest demand in the market, followed by night-use sanitary napkins.
As for 360MM and 200MM, the factory is currently producing first to fill the inventory, but it has not yet come out.
Lan Shu plans to wait for the Chiping City Toilet Paper Factory to buy the patent right to use night-use sanitary napkins, produce night-use sanitary napkins and sell them in the market, and then launch 360MM and 200MM sanitary napkins to re-consolidate their "Yunrou" The status of sanitary napkins in this industry!
The production of sanitary napkins in the factory can be stabilized temporarily, and there is no need to expand the scale.
For the production of toilet rolls, one machine is not enough.
At this time, she called the Linjiang Machinery Factory, and ordered four additional paper winding machines from the Machinery Factory.
Lan Shu ordered so many machines all at once, not for other reasons, but because she wants roll paper to become popular, which will replace the original rectangular knife-cut toilet paper in the future, which is a necessary development trend.
Now the factory doesn't stock much toilet paper rolls. When this kind of toilet paper is sold, the warehouse can be sold out casually!
This is because the existing workshops in the factory are limited, and no amount of machines can be accommodated, so she only ordered four additional roll machines.
According to Lan Shu's thinking, there are not 10 or 20 roll toilet paper production machines, and they will not be able to supply the market demand in the future.
So after ordering the machine, Lan Shu also considered expanding the scale of the factory.
The bankrupt paper mill next door has all its contents taken away and sold off to pay off debts.
The remaining empty factory buildings, Lan Shu thinks that they can buy them all, and use them to expand the scale of the toilet paper factory!
When their toilet paper factory settled accounts at the end of the year, they had a working capital of 130,000.
The four paper winding machines don’t cost much, and they can be bought within 20,000 yuan. The remaining money is definitely more than enough to buy all the remaining workshops in the paper mill!
…
The next day, Lan Shu went to the toilet paper factory first, and handed over the matter of buying the rest of the paper factory to Zhu, the deputy factory director.
Afterwards, she went straight to her garment factory.
There is still one week before the newspaper advertisement in Linjiang City is published.
During this week, she wants to make as many spring clothes as possible.
At the same time as advertising for investment in the newspaper, show off the variety of clothing styles in the factory, and by the way, promote the spring clothing of the 'Yunshu' brand clothing.
In addition to women's clothing, Lan Shu plans to pay a little attention to men's clothing.
If it is a direct-sale store, in addition to clothes, she also plans to design some bags with simple styles, which can also have some matching effects on clothes.
And when the time comes, one store will sell two products, which will also help in-store sales performance.
