Chapter 325 Liu Qing's connections
February 4, 2020 in the Gregorian calendar, the eleventh day of the first lunar month.
This day is the beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms.
Tuesday.
According to the announcement issued by the relevant parties on this day, as of 24:00 on the 3rd, the cumulative number of confirmed cases was 20,438, and the cumulative number of deaths was 425.
Based on this figure, the fatality rate of confirmed cases is 2.1%.
This is a relatively high mortality rate.
Most factories are not operating, including mask factories.
Tianyuan mask factory has a production capacity of more than 10 million masks per day, accounting for half of all production capacity in the country.
The mask is still relatively nervous.
However, at this time, a lot of capital has already taken action and began to enter the mask industry.
Xu Bo, who was selected as one of the top ten young entrepreneurs of the year in Pengcheng along with Liu Qing, was one of them, and he started quickly. Before the Chinese New Year, without obtaining the production qualification, he decisively ordered 100 mask machines.
is not an order from one place, but an order from multiple places.
A place can't provide such a big list, it needs to wait for them to produce slowly.
He is racing against time now, there is not so much time to wait, so he ordered mask machines from multiple places.
At that time, he bought it after raising the price, and it still hurts a bit.
But now it seems that his decisiveness at that time was really wise.
Because the price of the mask machine has risen a lot now, and it is still the kind that money can't buy.
Even if he does not have the qualifications to produce masks, he can make a lot of money by selling those mask machines to others.
Nian Fengyan, his helper, also invested in the project, and both of them were very motivated.
The transformation of his garment factory has already begun before the production qualifications have been obtained.
After construction started on the eighth day of the first lunar month, they applied for the qualification to produce masks.
As Liu Qing said, the review of mask production qualifications has now been relaxed, and Nian Fengyan, the father of Tianyuan masks, came forward, and the procedures went smoothly.
——Masks are so tight, and relevant parties also hope to increase production capacity as soon as possible.
If there is capital voluntarily entering the market, they will of course release standards and increase production capacity.
Nian Fengyan also agreed with Liu Qing that he would borrow a few employees to train new employees for them, and Liu Qing agreed.
——For Nian Fengyan, the founder of Tianyuan Mask Factory, Liu Qing felt a little indebted. They just borrowed a few old employees to train new ones, and there is nothing unacceptable.
Competitor, he has no such idea.
Now for Xu Bo and the two, the biggest problem is that they cannot recruit employees to do this work.
Xu Bo’s original garment factory has some employees, who can be transformed into mask production workers after training.
However, the employees of the garment factory have all gone home for the Chinese New Year, and now all of them are at home and can't come out, and they don't know when they will be able to come out.
It is very likely that these employees will not be able to come to work when their production qualifications are completed.
The whole country is like this.
The epidemic is still very tense, the number of confirmed cases is still rising every day, and patients have appeared in every province. Medical resources are extremely tight, and there is a risk of breakdown if you are not careful.
In this case, no one dares to let go of the control.
There is another point that worries them, and that is the problem of meltblown cloth.
There are too many investment in mask factories, and the raw materials suddenly become scarce.
Nian Fengyan asked Liu Qing for help, and Liu Qing made a phone call to President Wang in Jiangnan, which solved the problem.
On the day it was confirmed that human-to-human transmission occurred, Liu Qing communicated with President Wang and told him that the demand for masks would definitely increase, and the demand for meltblown cloth would also increase significantly. He suggested that he add another production line.
This is a great opportunity to make money.
Mr. Wang took it seriously, and reported it to the top that night, and it was approved that night to build a larger production line.
The recommended standard at the beginning is a production capacity of 500 tons per month.
But the next day, a new opinion came from above, asking him to set the production capacity of this production line at 1,000 tons per month.
Such a large group, even at the end of the year, can quickly mobilize manpower and material resources to build a new production line.
The manpower and material resources have not been in place, and the standard has been changed again, and the monthly production capacity has been changed to 2,000 tons.
The reason why they made such a big adjustment is that there is too much shortage of masks on the market. They can't even buy masks for their own workers, so they can only turn to Liu Qing for help.
How the whole country will be can be imagined.
The production capacity of 2,000 tons per month seems quite high, but if you calculate it, one ton of meltblown cloth can produce about 1 million disposable anti-virus masks, and 2,000 tons is 2 billion masks.
The production capacity of 2 billion masks a month is far from meeting the needs of the Chinese people.
With so much capacity added, the market can fully digest it.
Now that new production line is still under construction, but a lot of orders have been received.
Many mask factories have not opened their doors yet, but the boss has already started placing orders and buying meltblown cloth everywhere.
There are also some mask factories, but on paper, they have not been built, and the bosses have begun to look for raw materials.
The new production capacity of 2,000 tons a month has not been put into production, and the market has already been found.
The quotation is also greatly improved.
However, it was not as fast as Liu Qing remembered.
There is a part of his credit in this. The production capacity of raw materials has been expanded in advance. The market supply is not as tight as he remembered, and naturally it will not fetch such an outrageous price.
In the beginning, the production capacity was expanded to 300 tons per month, and now it is 2000 tons per month.
Although I was still nervous, it wasn’t so outrageous.
At the current price, Mr. Wang has to make a lot of money.
However, the meltblown cloth he promised to Liu Qing when he bought the mask did not take this opportunity to sell it to others at a high price. Every day, it was shipped at the original price, and the raw materials were pulled out by trucks every day.
——Liu Qing gave him 10 million low-priced masks, which solved the problem of using masks in the group behind him, and gave him a face in the group. He must remember this favor.
Selling it to others at a high price, the money is not for him, but he loses his character, he will not be stupid enough to do that kind of thing.
Especially now that Liu Qing has a certain social reputation by donating 50 million masks, it is not so easy to offend.
For the next three hundred tons of meltblown cloth raw materials per month, he also assured Liu Qing that they would still be shipped at the contract price.
Liu Qing called Mr. Wang and talked about a friend who was going to open a mask factory. He didn’t know where to get the raw materials. Mr. Wang knew about their scale. Spray cloth.
Of course, the price cannot be the price of He Liuqing, it has to be the current market price.
Liu Qing told Nian Fengyan the news, and Nian Fengyan was very grateful - there is no need to struggle with the price issue, as long as the raw materials can be obtained and masks can be produced, it is profitable.
This is also the first time Liu Qing has shown his good connections in his circle of friends.
