Chapter 300 Environmental Protection (Second Update!)

Yin Jun didn't care about the condescending "guidance", but Le Yiling, who had always been cautious, remembered Huang Yulang's provocation.

For this reason, she has been more diligent in reaching out to external brands, hoping that through previous happy cooperation, they can advertise on the 50 pages of the first issue. ——There were originally 100 pages of advertisements, but 50 pages of "Chibi Maruko-chan" by Zeng Huaqian were added to the first issue, so there were only 50 pages of advertisements left.

When he was in the United States, Yin Jun actually persuaded Le Yiling many times. It was amazing that he would not advertise for the first month. He would wait until the comic weekly became popular and then negotiate with them for advertising.

But Le Yiling refused to admit defeat. She also felt that not advertising in the first four issues was too wasteful. No matter how thin a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat.

Since Sister Le is very motivated, Yin Jun can only let her go.

If Le Yiling really had to take some time off, she would feel uncomfortable all over.

At the animation studio, the eight comics are constantly improving and Le Yiling is able to manage the overall situation. Yin Jun does not have much to be responsible for.

After talking with Lok Yi Ling, the artist, and the screenwriters for a while, Yin Jun went to the area near Lau Fau Shan in Tin Shui Wai.

There, there is a printing factory that Yin Jun is building.

Zhou Yuping is worthy of being a printing factory manager with more than ten years of work experience.

After selecting the address and applying to the government for the purchase of industrial land, I was very busy during this period of time going through the formalities and building the factory.

A group of workers from the printing factory had been taking a break recently, but after resting for a while, they had nothing to do, so they all ran over to help.

In 1979, Hong Kong was still under MacLehose, who strongly supported and encouraged people in Hong Kong to open factories, focusing on industry.

Although the printing factory is not very popular, it is still one of the important industrial projects. In addition, the scale and conditions that Zhou Yuping applied for are very good. In addition, Zhou Yuping's report clearly stated that Workers would be recruited nearby, which would be a positive help in solving the employment problem in Tin Shui Wai, so the government readily sold the land.

But this piece of industrial land, which covers an area of ​​160 acres, or 1.15 million square feet, is not cheap.

Even though it is located to the west of Tin Shui Wai, an area where birds do not lay eggs, but after a joint survey by the government's land and industry departments, the price given was still 20 yuan per square foot, which was higher than the price Yin Jun bought next to it before. The bid for the land is even more expensive.

When the Xiangjiang government sells land, it will not be soft at all.

Whether it is industrial land or commercial land.

And they are not afraid that Yin Jun will convert the land into commercial land after a while - in Xiangjiang, the boundaries between industrial land and commercial land are very clear. Unless the government changes the overall planning, there will be very few people. The land use can be changed.

After calculation, the price of such 1.15 million square feet of land is HK$23 million, and all funds need to be paid to the Finance Department within one year.

She's not afraid of this. Le Yiling has a loan limit of 45 million, but she won't be so foolish as to pay it off in one lump sum. Otherwise, what will she do if she still needs money in the future?

Now Le Yiling can finally see that Yin Jun is a prodigal and spends money like water.

Forget it for the animation studio, but for industrial land, we obviously don’t need that much now, but we still applied for such a large area from the government, and even used such a large sum of HK$23 million to buy land. .

Then when it came to land leveling and factory building construction, Yin Jun actually spent money lavishly. If she hadn't been there to keep an eye on it for a while, the waste there would have increased by at least 1 million.

Sometimes, Le Yiling really wanted to spank this kid to make him sober and realistic.

But she never had any thoughts of complaining against Yin Jun.

Because this kid is so loved by me because he is full of dreams and works hard to realize his dreams!

Fortunately, Le Yiling didn't know the difference in cost between the lead alloy letterpress printing process and the offset offset printing process. Otherwise, Yin Jun would probably have been called over to stand and be scolded for a long time.

Yin Jun said to Sister Le, if we want to make the best comic weekly, we need to use good machines that no one else has used. Heidelberg is an expert in this regard, so let's go and see how its performance is. , what about the cost.

If we don’t use this good technology, and we plan to use recycled paper as the raw material for printing, wouldn’t it mean that the quality will be very poor and people won’t buy it?

In the past two years, the price of raw materials for pulp has been rising, forcing newspapers and magazines in Xiangjiang, including comic books by Huang Yulang and Shanggui Xiaobao, to increase their prices.

Recycled paper is relatively cheaper, probably 40%-60% cheaper.

If Yin Jun publishes 5 million copies, each with 500 pages, how much will the cost price of each issue of the weekly magazine drop?

Le Yiling was a stingy boss. When he heard that he could save so much on raw materials and that buying the machine was a one-time deal, even though he thought the price might be a bit expensive, he didn't raise any objection.

However, Le Yiling has never been in the printing industry, so she doesn't know what Yin Jun will do next.

In fact, even Zhou Yuping felt a little overwhelmed when he heard about Yin Jun's request.

"You mean... you want to import environmental protection treatment equipment from Japan?" Zhou Yuping, who was actively doing preliminary leveling construction, thought he had heard wrong.

"Yes."

"Didn't you say that after buying a Heidelberg offset offset printing machine, the pollution will be reduced by at least 30%? Isn't that enough?" Zhou Yuping thought that Yin Jun didn't understand, and explained: "If we can reach this step, we will be the whole No. 1 in Xiangjiang!"

"But why can't we do sewage treatment, air pollution control, and control of toxic and harmful gases in production workshops together?" Yin Jun said, "When I went to the United States this time, I found that they were doing a good job. . I heard that Japan has very advanced equipment and experience in this area. We should ask their experts to come over and help design the overall environmental protection facilities."

"Ah Jun, who did you hear that?" Zhou Yuping said funnyly, "The reason why the United States is like this is because they have strict legal regulations. If they don't do this, they will be fined or even go bankrupt! But we in Xiangjiang are different. Ah, we don’t have this rule, so it doesn’t matter! If you do this, it is certainly a good thing for the factory, but do you know how much the cost will increase? At least 50%! The cost saved by using recycled paper is just Is it worth it to write it off like this?"

"In order to be a truly good factory, all of this is worth it." Yin Jun nodded without hesitation: "Uncle Zhou, you go to Itochu Corporation. Their business is very extensive and they definitely know what to do in this area. Yes. I asked Japanese professionals to come over and carry out environmentally friendly design specifically for our factory here, and then ship the equipment over as soon as possible, and try to complete everything within 2 months."

Why are Japan’s environmental protection facilities so good?

It's very simple. They created it after profound experience and lessons!

Don’t think that after 2010, the number of people traveling to Japan has increased. When everyone sees Japan, they say, “Wow, it’s so fast, so clean, and the air is so fresh.”

In fact, in the 1950s and 1960s, when Japan was desperately developing its own industry, the entire Japanese archipelago was shrouded in black smoke, and it remained so for many years.

This point is clearly written in the flight records of US military bases.

Therefore, there is an endless stream of flight training and reconnaissance missions involving accidents.

Precisely because Japan has suffered such tragic environmental pollution, they began to vigorously improve the environment in the late 1960s.

On the one hand, industries that are too polluting must be moved out of Japan. On the other hand, some industrial pollution related to people's livelihood must be ordered to rectify with the most stringent requirements.

Over the past ten years, Japan's environment has greatly improved, and it can barely become a country with good air and environmental quality.

And after 20 to 30 years of development, Japan's environmental quality will rank among the top 20 in the world - you read that right, the top 20.

This data is already very impressive, because many countries in Western Europe have no industrial production at all, and high latitudes have good air quality. Their environment is naturally better than that of industrial countries.

Take Iceland for example. How many people are there in the country? Basically, fishing and other things are their main business, and they are alone overseas. It is difficult to think about the environmental quality of a country like this!

But if you want to count the environmental quality of the top 100 industrial countries, sorry, Japan is number one, number one in the world!

So, there are so many aspects of the Japanese that we can learn from. If China wants to surpass Japan, it definitely does not mean that we should be proud of wiping them out with a wave of hands.

If we want to truly develop, we must study hard and catch up with or even surpass Japan in all aspects before we can truly restore the prosperous times of the Tang and Han Dynasties.

If nothing else, when traveling, it is understandable for children to find a place to pee. If you adults do this, you are really uneducated and have no tutor. The overall quality of the country will be reflected here. .

Let’s ignore this matter for now.

Zhou Yuping frowned when he heard Yin Jun's command. Only now did he realize that Yin Jun was not joking at all, nor was it a temporary idea, but had already had this idea.

He guessed right. Yin Jun had already thought about this topic when he wanted to start a printing house. Moreover, Yin Jun was thinking about how to do it well, not whether to do it.

Thanks to the development of television and online media in the future, Yin Jun saw the damage caused by too many small and medium-sized paper mills and printing factories in China to rivers, ditches and rivers. These rivers and rivers are used to irrigate grain fields and for drinking by humans and animals. High levels of various heavy metal pollution, etc., it is simply a waste of money and life!

According to the ideas of ordinary people like Yin Jun, it would not be too much to shoot these people directly.

Therefore, as long as Yin Jun works in this kind of industry, he will never allow himself to ignore any ecological environment and only focus on making money without any conscience.

Without conscience, there is no bottom line. Yin Jun will never allow himself to do this.

His ability to return to Xiangjiang 42 years ago was naturally God's arrangement. He must have wanted Yin Jun to take advantage of this blessing and do more good deeds. He certainly did not want him to ignore everything just to get rich.

If he does this, Yin Jun estimates that God will strike him to death with a thunderbolt to prevent him from harming the world.

Besides, he himself is not a person who cares about nothing for money. If he wants to be in this comic weekly business for decades or even hundreds of years, he must set up rules from the beginning, behave upright, and do things in a orderly manner.

Environmentally friendly production is simply a necessity, not a luxury in the eyes of others.

So what if it costs a little more?

What Yin Jun is doing now is basically a business without capital. Even the creativity belongs to others. Yin Jun is just like a porter, using the wisdom of others in his previous life on comic books. The cost he pays is the salary dividend of creative personnel. , printing costs, and advertising expenses are all, the most important story copyright and authorship belong to Yin Jun alone.

After making so much money, if you still have to worry about whether to save money on environmental protection, then it's not Yin Jun, it's Shao Liuye... Well, Sister Le will probably do the same thing.

Therefore, Yin Jun did not dare to tell Le Yiling. Fortunately, after Le Yiling had discussed the development, leveling, earthwork and other matters, he was busy running the advertiser's business, otherwise Yin Jun was worried that she would see it. , will directly point the stick at himself and chase after him.

Tell Zhou Yuping that Yin Jun needs him to do this, after all, he is an expert in this field.

Seeing Yin Jun's affirmation and that he was the boss, Zhou Yuping could only sigh again: "Okay, I'll go talk to them... There are many good companies in the field of factory environmental protection in Japan. If you ask them to make a plan, it should go very smoothly, and the Japanese work very quickly, which means you will make more money."

"Money is not an issue, the most important thing is to do better." Yin Jun said with a smile, "Uncle Zhou, don't be so sullen. Isn't it good for everyone to work in a good working environment?"

Zhou Yuping's face relaxed a little, "That's not what I meant. I should be happy to have a good boss like you who cares about his subordinates... However, I'm worried that you will increase too many unnecessary costs. If you can't make money, , how can we maintain it? Compared with environmental protection, my group of old friends want to support their families more!"

It turned out that this was what he was worried about.

Yin Jun smiled brightly, "Uncle Zhou, what do you think of my life and work? Are I practical?"

Zhou Yuping thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "You are a good person and very down-to-earth, but you don't understand the printing industry."

"As a natural leader, I don't have to worry about the downstream factory chain. I only need to worry about whether the upstream products sell well. In the entire industry chain, the printing plant serves the comic weekly. As long as the sales of the comic weekly are good, then There is no problem if the cost of the printing plant is higher. If the sales of the comic weekly are not good, it will be useless for the printing plant to save costs, right?" Yin Jun said harmoniously: "What is the reason for the booming sales of the comic weekly? Isn't that just saying Is it the ability to tell stories? With a good story and a good style of painting, readers will naturally be willing to support me. I think you also know my ability to write stories, Uncle Zhou. I am not exaggerating. There are screenwriters and novelists in Xiangjiang, let alone Huang Yulang. , even Jin Yong can’t compare to me.

In addition, when it comes to comics and painting, I can pat my chest and say that at this point in time, in this world, there is no overall team that can produce comics and animations better than the Shanghai Art Film Producers behind me. The factory is great! Maybe they will fall behind the times in the future, but when it comes to hand-painting now, they are the strongest! "

Zhou Yuping was not incited by Yin Jun's confident words, but after thinking about it carefully, he agreed with Yin Jun's idea.

Just like their previous cooperation with newspapers, no matter how good the printing is, it is impossible for the audience to buy more newspapers. Only if the newspaper itself does a better job, the business will be better, so more newspapers will be printed, and the printing house will be able to make money.

The same goes for doing a comic weekly.

Only when the comics themselves are very good-looking and people like them, can they make money, continue to increase the number of volumes published, and can printing companies print more weekly comics.

Yin Jun's meaning is actually very clear. Your printing factory is just a supporting role. Whether it makes money or loses money has nothing to do with you. So whether I want you to be environmentally friendly or not is completely related to whether the printing factory will close down due to lack of funds in the future. It doesn't matter.

It's a bit bitter, but it's the truth.

Zhou Yuping could only accept this fact.

After nodding slightly, Zhou Yuping quickly got into the role, "Ajun, what I want to remind you is that the Japanese do environmental protection. I saw it when I followed my former boss to Japan for inspection, and they did it right. Very good, but at the end of the day, I'm afraid it won't be much cheaper than our printing equipment, etc., and the subsequent costs will not be less. A major maintenance and cleaning is inevitable every two or three years, which is also a large expense. "

"No problem." Yin Jun confirmed again.

"You don't understand what I mean." Zhou Yuping looked at the young man, "Miss Yue, what are you going to say?"

Thinking of the diligent and thrifty Sister Le, and then thinking about how he spent money lavishly here, Yin Jun couldn't help but shudder.

Le Yiling will definitely not beat Yin Jun violently, but she will train Yin Jun until he dare not move for a long time. The torture of scolding you for a long time but not being able to repeat the words is really painful just thinking about it.

You said she is a woman who has just turned 20 years old, no, she is a girl, how come she has such a strong aura of a queen?

The impression given to Yin Jun is that even if this is not as good as her 40-year-old state in TVB, it is probably not far behind!

"Well... let me think of a way. Don't tell her first." Yin Jun pondered, "By the way, over there with the Japanese, you can apply and see if you can accept the installment payment method? The interest rate is higher. It doesn’t matter!”

"I'll give it a try."

Zhou Yuping nodded and said, it seems that Ah Jun is not bold enough to do anything. At least in terms of cost, Miss Yue can still control him.
