Rebirth 1990: I have three golden fingers

On the evening of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Bai rushed to Shanghai.

While eating in a small restaurant, Fang Bai heard several people at the next table discussing subscription certificates.

One person said that it happened that his company gave out a year-end bonus of 150 yuan, which happened to be the day when the sales of subscription certificates stopped. He went to the bank and bought 5 subscription certificates with a trial mentality.

His friend said that he was very lucky. The price had increased and the black market had already charged more than 60 yuan. He asked him if he could sell it.

The ticket holders said that if they wait for a while, they will sell as long as the price rises five times.

After Fang Bai and the other three listened to the words of the people next door, Wang Dakai and Li Xiaolong were slightly surprised. They knew that Fang Bai had bought a large number of subscription certificates. If they were based on today's prices, they would have made millions of yuan.

The two of them also invested thousands of dollars to buy forty tickets, which is equivalent to making thousands of dollars now.

Fang Bai signaled not to discuss the matter and continued eating.

A total of 2,128,635 subscription certificates were sold in the city, which is only more than 50,000 copies more than the historical data of 2,077,665.

In other words, Fang Bai's large purchases did not affect the historical trajectory of the subscription certificates.

This number also shows that a large number of Shencheng citizens have bought subscription certificates, creating countless households worth tens of thousands of yuan.

Who would have thought that a subscription certificate priced at 30 yuan would change the fate of countless people in Shanghai.

After Fang Bai and the other three had dinner, when they left the hotel and were in the car, Wang Dakai asked Fang Bai: "Boss, when are we going to throw away the subscription certificate?"

"It's not yet time, don't throw it around. We'll see what happens." Fang Bai reminded these two people that if they follow him, he will give them a fortune.

He cannot be the boss. His net worth has increased countless times in a few years, but the net worth of those who follow him has not changed much. That means he has failed in some aspect and is not worth following.

Normal people just watch your wealth skyrocket, but after following you for so many years, your wealth has not changed much, and there is also a gap in your heart.

"I'll wait and then throw it away, hehe, I don't understand anyway." Wang Da said with a smile.

Li Xiaolong didn't say anything. Anyway, he just wanted to throw him away whenever the boss wanted to.

One day later, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Xinghai Machinery Company officially went to work.

According to the HR report from the Human Resources Department, most of the employees are here, with only 5 people missing.

Fang Bai is quite satisfied with the result and it will not affect the normal start of work. He patrolled the workshop, wished the workers a happy new year, and handed out red envelopes for the start of work.

On the first day of work, Fang Bai did not arrange any production tasks.

The workers were not in the mood to work, so they started the equipment to warm up, sorted out their thoughts, and started working in the afternoon.

The first thing Fang Bai handed over to HR was to recruit sales personnel from various provinces, continue to recruit production personnel, and expand production capacity.

The technical department is currently drawing drawings for a 60-kilowatt ground pump. Fang Bai spent a day and a half reviewing the drawings and explaining the problems to employees bit by bit.

"These triangular rib plates should not have sharp corners. They will be burned out during welding. It is better to leave a blunt edge of seven to eight millimeters."

"The welds here need to be fully welded, not intermittent welding. The working conditions of our ground pump are relatively complex, and the incomplete welds are easily corroded."

"This plate has greater stress, so we need to recalculate the force."

The engineer saw his boss take the drawings, glanced at them and told him the problem directly, which surprised him so much.

"Mr. Fang, you are so amazing. You can see where there is something wrong at a glance, and you can see it so carefully."

"You can still find problems if you are more attentive. The company is large and it is not enough to just rely on me to review the drawings. The main thing is to rely on you to do more inspections yourself." Fang Bai said with an indifferent expression.

In fact, with him reviewing the drawings, employees will be more attentive when drawing. No one wants to have big problems with the drawings and be singled out by the boss.

But what they didn't expect was that no matter how careful they were, their boss would still find many problems.

Of course, they discovered the problems that were picked out and felt that they had learned something. It was rare that the boss patiently explained them to them.

The third day of work, the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

Fang Bai spared two hours and summoned the design department staff to discuss the drawings.

"Similar problems should be avoided as much as possible next time. Only by learning to summarize can we grow."

"This time I am holding a technical meeting. After each drawing review, you will have your own meeting to summarize and learn from each other. Now the company does not have corporate standards, so you have to compile relevant standards while summarizing."

Fang Bai particularly emphasized the importance of the company's corporate standards. Some technical information on the market is not suitable for the company.

Enterprise technical standards are also a company's technical accumulation and experience. They are formulated based on industry standards, national standards and international standards. They are generally not lower than these standards. Of course, they do not have to be higher than these standards, nor are they copied. Formulated based on market needs.

Some customers will also ask about the company's corporate technical standards to see the company's soft technology strength.

The first batch of technical personnel will grow up quickly under Fang Bai's guidance, constantly improve the company's technical standards, and then guide new technical personnel who join the company.

A few days later, the drawings of the 60-kilowatt ground pump were finalized, and Fang Bai ordered the trial production of one. At the same time, he began to develop a 75-kilowatt ground pump and pump truck.

A pump truck is a device used to transport liquids or concrete and other substances. It usually consists of a vehicle base, a boom, a hydraulic system, a delivery pipe and a pump body.

Compared with ground pumps (drag pumps), pump trucks are commonly known as sky pumps.

It can also be said that the pump truck is based on the ground pump and adds a car base and arm. It is more flexible and efficient and can be used on different construction sites and construction conditions.

The pipes of the floor pump are fixed, and additional pump pipes need to be installed for each additional floor;

The pipeline of the pump truck is movable, so there is no need to install additional pump pipes, and the work efficiency is much faster.

Of course, the only disadvantage is that it is subject to height restrictions. The height that can be used is mainly determined by the boom.

Generally speaking, the vertical height is about 37 meters, and it is very high if it reaches more than 56 meters.

If you are pumping concrete at a vertical height of hundreds of meters, you still need to rely on ground pumps.

However, it is more convenient and efficient to use pump trucks to transport concrete in low-rise buildings.

Fangbai plans to develop the first pump truck with a boom height of 35 meters, which can meet the needs of concrete construction on floors below ten floors.

Domestic chassis could not meet Fang Bai's requirements, so he decided to use Volvo or Mercedes-Benz chassis.

The cost of building a pump truck is inherently high. If it is an imported chassis with a boom of about 35 meters, the price starts at 2 million yuan.

The longer the boom, the higher the price.

Of course, the gross profit margin is also very large. At present, this market is completely blank. The current annual market demand is thousands of units. If Fang Bai gets in, he will kill indiscriminately, and developing it is like picking up money.

Our own construction company is growing rapidly and there is demand.

A few days later, Mr. Lu, who was in charge of the construction of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower project, called Fang Bai and wanted to test the use of their ground pump.

At present, the construction of the above-ground building on the TV Tower has begun, and it is already more than ten meters high. Fang Bai called Mr. Lu on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year to wish him a happy new year, and to remind him not to forget the original cooperation negotiation.

The company's two sales teams worked for two months before getting orders for more than a dozen units. Many engineering bosses wanted to buy them, but in the end no deal was made. One of the reasons was that the ground pump was a new thing and was not convincing.

On the morning of January 18, Fang Bai arranged for staff to deliver a ground pump to the Oriental Pearl Project site.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the employee reported that the installation had been completed and asked him to come and see it if he had time. After all, he had been paying attention to this matter.

Fang Bai replied that he would wait until he came over to check the installation before turning it on. It would be very embarrassing if something went wrong during startup.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Fang Bai rushed to the scene and had a polite chat with the person in charge of the construction site to learn about the construction situation on site.

After Fang Bai checked and found that there was no problem, he issued an order to start the device.

Mr. Lu, the general person in charge of the project, is not at the site, and the person in charge of the construction site will report to him on the use of the equipment.

There were no surprises. The equipment was running normally. The on-site construction workers were very happy to see that the concrete transportation was more efficient and said that the ground pump was a good thing.

Fang Bai and the person in charge of the on-site construction were chatting outside the construction site.

"Although our product is newly developed, more than 20 units have been delivered so far. According to customer feedback, it is used well. Mr. Chen can rest assured." Fang Bai assured with a smile. He had been watching the use of the floor pump. I didn't dare to say this until I found no problem for half an hour.

"At present, it seems that it is indeed very useful. It depends on whether it can be stable. If it can be stable, I will recommend that we, Mr. Lu, purchase it."

"That is, the product is not good, and we are embarrassed to recommend it."

Fang Bai dealt with it easily, and he couldn't hide the other party's thoughts from him.

An hour later, Fang Bai saw that there was nothing wrong with the equipment. When no one was there, he stuffed a small document bag into his bag with two thousand yuan in cash: "Mr. Chen, please review the documents."

Mr. Chen thought it was some kind of document. When he opened it, he was very surprised. He was a little embarrassed and smiled flatteringly at Fang Bai: "Boss Fang is so polite. Your company's products are good. I will highly recommend them. Don't worry."

His salary is quite high, but two thousand yuan is his salary for two or three months.

Fang Bai watched him accept the red envelope and smiled and shook hands with him: "There are indeed too many things going on in the company. I'll rush back first. If you have anything to do, just tell our on-site engineer. Or just give me a call. When you're free, Let’s have dinner together again.”

"Okay, Boss Fang, please do your work first."

Fang Bai nodded and left in the car.

The order has not yet been completed, so the red envelope is thrown away first. Fang Bai is not afraid that others will not do anything.

Although Mr. Lu is the final decision-maker on equipment purchase, the construction managers below have reported that the equipment is useful and will listen to their opinions. Fang Bai's red envelope is not useless.

The gross profit of a ground pump is close to 400,000 yuan, so giving two thousand red envelopes is nothing.

Xinghai Machinery Company is equivalent to grabbing orders from Shencheng Construction Materials Engineering Company. This company is currently helping solve the 350-meter C60 concrete pumping problem for the Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower project.

However, there is no commercial conflict between the two parties. Xinghai's ground pumps can be used for concrete construction below 150 meters. If Shencheng Construction Materials Engineering Company can figure out a solution, their solution will be used for concrete construction above 150 meters. This is also the reason Mr. Lu idea.

If Shencheng Construction Materials Engineering Company cannot solve the problem, it will be more economical to use the three pumping solution of Xinghai Machinery Company.

Two days later, Fang Bai turned his attention to the matter of subscription certificates.

Fang Bai got the news that the first lottery time had been announced: Shanghai United Building, March 2, 1992.

At the same time, it was announced that four lottery draws would be held in 1992. The listed companies in the first lottery were listed companies such as Zhongcheng Industry, Special-shaped Steel Pipe, Pudong Johnson \u0026 Johnson, Jiafeng Shares, Light Industry Machinery, United Textile, and Second Textile Machinery.

After the lottery information was announced, citizens across the city were paying attention to this matter. After all, many people purchased subscription certificates, but even more people missed out.

Before the draw, the black market price of subscription certificates has doubled or tripled.

Now Fang Bai is looking forward to the lottery day, but he still has to wait for about ten days.

Two days later, on February 20, Qin Shuyu came to Shencheng, and Fang Bai asked Wang Dakai and Li Xiaolong to return to Wencheng to pick him up personally.

Fang Bai signed up for a driver's license class in Shanghai and pretended to learn to drive. In fact, within a few days, he was driving by himself and bought a driver's license with money.

After Qin Shuyu came to Shanghai, Fang Bai let her rest for a day and sent her to school the next day.

School has also started at Jiaotong University. Fang Bai occasionally goes to the lower school to attend classes, focusing more on the subscription certificate.

Students in Class 3 of Mechanical Engineering were all paying attention to the supermarket business. On the second day of school, at three o'clock in the afternoon, counselor Qin Xue held a class meeting.

Qin Xue stood on the podium with a calm expression: "Your results for last semester have come out. The first place in the department is Fang Bai, with a GPA of 3.95, which is worthy of praise."

As soon as she finished speaking, the whole class applauded enthusiastically. This was not surprising to everyone. The monitor was already good at learning.

It would be an accident if he fell to second place.

"As for the other students, they didn't fail the class, so I'm convinced.

But there is nothing particularly outstanding, except that Fang Bai won the first place in the department to gain some face, and among the top thirty in credit points, your class has the smallest number of people. The more active you are in making money, the less you will have to worry about studying, haha! "

As soon as Qin Xue finished speaking, the students in the class couldn't help but laugh. Everyone was obsessed with making money.

The postgraduate retention rate of Jiaotong University is very high, reaching one-third. As long as you work harder, it is not a problem to retain the postgraduate entrance examination at this school. Therefore, those who plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination, just ensure that their grades are at the top.

"Let's talk about the second thing. If you want to run for class cadres, you can come up and give a speech. Let's start with the squad leader." After Qin Xue finished speaking, after waiting for a few minutes, no one came up to run for squad leader.

When Fang Bai saw that no classmates came up, he directly said: "I won't be the monitor anymore. There are too many things to do. If you want to be, you can go up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class burst into laughter.

"Squad leader, if you don't do it right, no one else would dare to do it, haha."

"Yes, everyone will obey you and continue to do so reluctantly."

Qin Xue stood on the podium and glanced at Fang Bai. She had to admire this student, who everyone expected.

After waiting for two minutes, no one was willing to come on stage to run for squad leader. She persuaded: "Fang Bai, why don't you continue to be squad leader?"

"If it's not appropriate, let them do it."

Qin Xue smiled: "Then just leave it empty. Anyway, I'll come to you if I need anything."

Fang Bai lowered his lips and said it didn't matter. Anyway, he felt more relaxed.

Next, other class committee members rushed to run for election. The competition was very fierce. Yang Tan actually grabbed the life committee member, Zhang Li served as the league secretary, Li Kai became the study committee member, and Wu Shengyang also served as the cultural and sports committee member.

Everyone mainly chooses the class committee based on who can contribute more in Hualian Supermarket, but Yang Tan often visits the dormitory to build relationships, so he is well prepared.

"Yang Tan, girls have some difficulties every month. You have to go to the girls' dormitory more." Wang Yifei sneered. He didn't run for class committee. Messi Lake ran for the cultural and sports committee, but he couldn't compete with Wu Shengyang.

Other roommates felt that the competition was too fierce, and they felt that if they were not the right ones, they would not be able to run.

In the end, the class committee of Mechanical Class 3 was decided. There was no monitor, but the university still called Fang Bai the monitor.

Fang Bai felt it didn't matter anymore. It was much easier than before anyway. There was no need to call him for the department meeting, Zhang Li could just go.

After the counselor left, Zhang Li took the stage to summarize the business conditions of the two supermarkets:

“During the holidays, the Jiaotong University Supermarket’s revenue was pretty good. The current cumulative revenue reached 213,000 yuan. The Textile University Supermarket’s revenue was 132,000 yuan, with a total revenue of 345,000 yuan. According to the plan we made last semester, we plan to open the third semester. Four supermarkets.”

After she finished speaking, everyone applauded enthusiastically. She has a bright future!

The class meeting turned into a general meeting of shareholders, which has never happened before at Jiaotong University.

Fang Bai just sat in his seat and listened to his classmates talk about the business plan. They asked him to say a few words.

"You've done a great job, just take care of it, I don't care about this matter, try to open more stores and go on the market as soon as possible!" Fang Bai concluded with a smile.

"Monitor, your words are too perfunctory, and you are still on the market." A classmate joked.

"Yeah, I really don't think about going public. I just want to make more money."

Fang Bai coughed twice and said seriously: "I'm not joking with you. When you finish occupying the sites in Shanghai and Suzhou and your assets reach a certain scale, it's completely possible to apply for a domestic listing.

Open two or three more stores. After everyone is familiar with the model, you can apply for a loan from the bank and speed up expansion. Otherwise, some big capital will imitate your model after seeing it. "

"Squad leader, can private companies really go public?"

"Yes, if we can really go public, how many supermarkets will we have to open? The assets will have to be tens of millions of yuan, right?"

"The financials are clear, you have been profitable for three consecutive years, and there are still some conditions. When you develop to a certain scale, you can consult the relevant departments." Fang Bai glanced at his classmates. The companies that can be approved for listing now are all state-owned enterprises, and the requirements are not high.

He does not understand the current specific requirements for listing. He only knows that no private enterprise can go public yet.

According to the historical trajectory, the first private enterprise to be listed was Fangda, which was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 1995.

Li Kai suggested: "Listing is too far away from us. Let's do our current work first, take classes well, and in our spare time, as the monitor said, after we are familiar with the business model, we will try to get loans and speed up the pace of expansion.

This semester you will register for the CET-4 and CET-6 exams. Please study English quickly and try to pass it in one go. "

Fang Bai agreed and said: "Well, Li Kai is right. Don't be too ambitious. You should study well first and distinguish your priorities."

The students all listened to Fang Bai's words and felt that going public was too far away for them. At present, they only want to open the third and fourth stores.

After the class meeting, Fang Bai returned to his three-point and one-line life of class, company, and canteen, while paying attention to the subscription certificate.
