Being Reborn And Starting Off By Not Being A Simp-Chapter 322: Liu Qing’s Network

February 4th, 2020, the 11th day of the first lunar month.

This day was the beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms.

Tuesday.

On this day, the relevant authorities announced that as of 24:00 on the 3rd, the total number of confirmed cases was 20438, and the total number of deaths was 425.

Based on this number, the death rate of confirmed cases was 2.1%.

This was a relatively high mortality rate.

Most of the factories were not operating, including the mask factory.

Tianyuan Mask Factory had a production capacity of more than ten million masks per day, accounting for half of the country’s total production capacity.

The mask was still a little tight.

However, at this time, a lot of capital had already taken action and started to enter the mask industry.

Xu Bo, who was selected as one of the top ten young entrepreneurs in Pengcheng with Liu Qing, was one of them. He was quick to make his move. Before the new year, without obtaining the production qualification, he decisively ordered 100 mask machines.

It was not from one place, but from many places.

One place couldn’t provide such a large order. They had to wait for them to slowly produce.

He was racing against time now. He did not have much time to wait, so he ordered the mask machine from many places.

At that time, he had raised the price to buy it, and he had felt a little pained.

But now, it seemed that his decisiveness back then was truly wise.

Because the price of the mask machine had risen a lot, and it was the kind that money couldn’t buy.

Even if he did not have the qualifications to produce masks, he could still make a fortune by selling those mask machines to others.

The helper he had hired, Nian Fengyan, had also invested in this project. Both of them were very motivated.

The production qualification had not been settled yet, but the transformation of his clothing factory had already begun.

After they started work on the eighth day of the first lunar month, they went to apply for the qualification to produce masks.

Just as Liu Qing had said, the production qualification of masks had been relaxed. With Nian Fengyan, the father of Tianyuan masks, coming forward, the procedures were handled very smoothly.

Masks were so tight, and the relevant parties also hoped to increase production as soon as possible.

With the capital voluntarily entering the market, they would naturally relax the standards and increase production capacity.

Nian Fengyan had even told Liu Qing that he would lend a few employees to train their new employees, and Liu Qing agreed.

Liu Qing felt a little guilty towards Nian Fengyan, the founder of Tianyuan Mask Factory. He was only borrowing a few old employees to train the new employees. There was nothing unacceptable about it.

He didn’t have such thoughts about being a competitor.

The biggest problem for Xu and Bo was that they couldn’t find any employees to do this job.

Xu Bo’s original clothing factory had some employees who could be converted into mask production workers after training.

However, the employees of the clothing factory had already gone home for the New Year. They were all at home and could not come out. They did not know when they would be able to come out.

It was very likely that by the time their production qualifications were completed, these employees would not be able to come to work.

The whole country was like this.

The epidemic situation was still very tense. The number of confirmed cases every day was still rising. There were patients in every province. Medical resources were extremely tight, and there was a risk of a breakdown if they were not careful.

Under such circumstances, no one dared to relax their control.

There was another point that they were quite worried about, and that was the problem of the fusionblown cloth.

There were too many investors in the mask factory, and the raw materials suddenly became scarce.

Nian Fengyan asked Liu Qing for help, and Liu Qing called President Wang of Jiangnan, which solved the problem.

On the day that it was confirmed that there would be a human-to-human successor, Liu Qing had communicated with CEO Wang. He told him that the demand for masks would definitely increase greatly, and the demand for melt blown cloth would also increase greatly. He suggested that he add another production line.

This was a good opportunity to earn money.

CEO Wang agreed with him. That night, he reported to the higher-ups and received approval to build a larger production line.

At first, the proposed standard was 500 tons per month.

However, the next day, the higher-ups gave him a new suggestion. They wanted him to set the production capacity of this production line at 1,000 tons per month.

Such a large corporation could quickly mobilize manpower and resources to build a new production line even at the end of the year.

The manpower and resources were not in place yet, and the standard was changed again. It was changed to a monthly production capacity of 2,000 tons.

The reason why they made such a big adjustment was that there was a shortage of masks on the market. They couldn’t even buy masks for their own workers, so they could only ask Liu Qing for help.

One could imagine how the entire country was like.

A production capacity of 2,000 tons per month seemed quite high, but after some calculation, one ton of melt blown cloth could only produce about one million disposable anti-virus masks. 2,000 tons was equivalent to two billion masks.

The production capacity of two billion masks a month was far from enough to meet the needs of the Chinese.

The market would be able to digest the increase in production capacity.

The new production line was still under construction, but they had already received a lot of orders. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Many mask factories had yet to open their mouths, but their bosses had already begun to place orders and buy the melt blown fabric everywhere.

There were also some mask factories that were only on paper and had not yet been built. The bosses had already started looking for raw materials.

The new production capacity of 2,000 tons a month had not yet been put into production, but the market had already been found.

The bidding price was also increasing by a large margin.

However, it wasn’t as strong as Liu Qing’s memory.

He had played a part in this, allowing the production capacity of raw materials to expand ahead of time. The market supply was not as tight as he remembered, and naturally, it would not be raised to such an outrageous price.

At first, they expanded their production capacity by 300 tons a month, and now they increased their production capacity by 2,000 tons a month.

Although he was still nervous, he was not that nervous.

With the current price, CEO Wang would make a lot of money.

However, he didn’t take the opportunity to sell the Meltblown Cloth that he promised Liu Qing when he bought the mask to others at a high price. He still delivered the goods at the original price every day, and there were cars pulling the raw materials out every day.

Liu Qing had given him 10 million low-cost masks, which had solved the problem of using masks in the company behind him. It had also given him face in the company. He had to remember this favor.

Selling it to others at a high price, he would not get the money, but he would ruin his own character. He would not be stupid enough to do such a thing.

Especially now that Liu Qing had donated 50 million masks, he already had a certain social reputation. It was not so easy to offend him.

He had promised Liu Qing that he would deliver the 300 tons of raw materials for the melt blown cloth every month according to the contract price.

Liu Qing called CEO Wang and told him that a friend was about to open a mask factory. He did not know where to get the raw materials. CEO Wang understood their scale and decided to give them 200 tons of melt blown cloth next month.

Of course, the price couldn’t be the same as Liu Qing’s. It had to be the current market price.

Liu Qing told this news to Nian Fengyan, who was extremely grateful. There was no need to worry about the price. As long as they could get the raw materials and produce the masks, it would be a profit.

This was also the first time Liu Qing showed his good connections in his circle of friends.
