Officialdom: From village head to provincial party secretary

Chapter 103 Opening the Port City Market

Zhao Liming returned to Tu County the next day.

As soon as I returned to the county government, I heard a quarrel.

These voices came from representatives of the Haicheng TV Factory.

They strongly opposed the relocation of the Haicheng TV manufacturing factory.

So a delegation was sent to Tu County for negotiations.

Zhao Liming simply ignored them.

After acquiring the Haicheng TV Manufacturing Factory, he knew that someone would stand up and make a fuss about the relocation.

But he didn't care.

After all, it’s clearly written in black and white and the money has been paid.

He has all the decision-making power.

As for those who refuse, they have two choices, either to follow and come to Tu County.

Or quit.

This is the maximum Zhao Liming can bear.

Because with the launch of color television in Tuxian County, the Haicheng TV factory was destined to go bankrupt.

He could lend a helping hand at this time.

And we have done our best to keep you working in the factory.

If it were someone else, they would just ignore you.

So, after a while of fuss, the workers finally returned empty-handed.

Li Wenhong's work was also progressing rapidly at this time.

He began to lead his team to carry out a large-scale relocation of the Haicheng TV factory.

However, this time the relocation was not done by truck, but by train.

Because the work was handled well, Li Wenhong moved the entire production line of the Haicheng TV Factory to Tu County in just one week.

The next step is assembly.

As for the assembly time, one week is enough.

And, the factory is ready.

Once assembled, black and white televisions can be produced immediately.

It is worth mentioning that there were less than two hundred people who came from Haicheng, and the remaining eight hundred people chose to be laid off.

Moreover, most of these two hundred people are young people.

Those who are older and have families chose to be laid off and stay in Haicheng.

In fact, this is what Zhao Liming really wants to see.

After all, older people with families are not suitable for this kind of work.

It's even easy to make mistakes at work.

Now a group of young people have come to try their luck, which is exactly what Zhao Liming wants.

However, Zhao Liming did not rush to recruit workers for the black-and-white TV factory.

Instead, arrange dormitories and food for them first.

It was not until the black-and-white TV factory was completed that the two hundred people were gradually allowed to start work.

As I said, black and white television must be tested first.

This time, the test point is in Gangcheng.

As long as the port city market is opened.

Then...it means we are not far from opening up the world market.

……

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Today I'm going to introduce you to a TV set. This TV set comes from the former Haicheng TV Set Factory. However, its price is not 1,980 yuan, nor 1,580 yuan. It only costs 498 yuan, and you can take it home."

"You heard it right. It's four hundred and ninety-eight."

"In addition to this black and white TV, we also have a color TV. This color TV doesn't cost 3,980 yuan, but only 980 yuan. You heard it right, 980 yuan..."

In front of a large shopping mall on the busiest street in the port city.

A host was standing on a stage, picked up the microphone and shouted loudly to the people passing by.

At the same time, a number of 14-inch black-and-white and color TVs were playing behind me.

The clear picture and the extremely high cost-effectiveness immediately shocked everyone.

You know, people in Hong Kong are already very rich in this era.

However, when it comes to television, I still can’t catch up.

Because in Hong Kong, the cheapest black-and-white TV costs about 800 to 900 yuan, and a color TV costs more than 2,000 yuan.

But now?

A black and white TV cost four hundred and ninety-eight, and a color TV cost nine hundred and eight. For them, this was undoubtedly pie in the sky.

"Really? It's so cheap."

"Isn't it? Don't TVs in TV stores cost thousands? Here you can buy one for just a few hundred."

"Yeah……"

"Let's go and see..."

"I want a ..."

"I want one too..."

Soon, the people who were attracted took out money to buy it.

For a moment, the entire mall entrance was crowded with people.

Some people go for the price/performance ratio, while others go directly for the clarity.

After all, compared to the TVs they usually watch, the clarity of this TV is really too high.

……

“Leader, leader…”

Zhao Liming was handling official business in the office. At this time, Yan Zi ran in screaming, holding a letter in her hand.

"What good news makes you so happy?"

Zhao Limin asked jokingly.

"Gangcheng, there's news from Gangcheng. The one hundred black-and-white and color TVs that were shipped over have all been sold out, and... and the orders for black-and-white TVs have reached ten thousand, and the orders for color TVs have reached five thousand..."

Yan Zi shouted excitedly.

At the same time, he handed over the letter.

"..."

Although Zhao Liming had already made preparations.

However, even he himself did not expect this.

These one hundred black-and-white and color TVs were sold out so quickly.

In fact, the total orders exceeded 15,000 units.

what does this mean?

It means that the port city market has been completely opened up.

And this market is about to spread to the whole world.

"Haha! Good, good! Yan Zi, go tell the factory to speed up production immediately. Also, start recruiting workers."

Zhao Liming burst into laughter.
