Of course, since Huaxia Audio and Video Company currently does not have its own equipment, it can only ask the tape factory to record the content directly and produce tapes with content instead of blank tapes.
Although the main business of tape factories during this period was the production of blank tapes, it did not mean that they could not produce tapes with content.
On the contrary, tape manufacturers prefer tapes with recorded content, because recording content is self-generated income and does not require tax.
For example, the Peking Tape Factory produces a tape with an ex-factory price of 80 cents. This part of the money is full of taxes, and taxes must be paid.
But if you add an extra 50 cents to fill the blank tape with content and add related packaging, then the 50 cents do not need to pay tax and are self-generated income, which can be regarded as the factory's own internal treasury.
Well, don't doubt it, this is the case during this period.
Of course, this model changed later, especially after the two tax laws came into force, it became really difficult to avoid taxes in this way.
Therefore, during this period, tape manufacturers actually preferred companies like Huaxia Audio and Video Company because they could reap additional benefits.
On the contrary, large units such as Chinese record companies and local TV stations have their own recording equipment, so they only need to buy blank tapes and then go back and record the records themselves. As a result, the tape manufacturers can make very little money, but they don't like it.
This is also the fundamental reason why Cao Zhiqiang's Huaxia Audio and Video Company, as a little-known small state-owned enterprise, can extract production indicators from tape factories everywhere!
To put it bluntly, those tape manufacturers postponed other unimportant indicators and gave priority to Huaxia Audio and Video Company to produce tapes with content.
To do this, your identity, relationships, project rationality, and even the talent itself are all indispensable!
This shows how difficult it was to start a business on your own in the early 1980s, especially in 1983 when the market economy was not yet fully open.
But as for Cao Zhiqiang, he was actually not familiar with the art here, so he just had to do it hard and fool around, and strange things would always happen!
This is not just a matter of Cao Zhiqiang's personal talent, but also a lot of luck.
For example, if Cao Zhiqiang had not met Li Youfu, he would not have been able to escape the foreign market so easily.
If Hongguang Machinery Factory had not encountered a life-or-death crisis, causing Director Li to act as a doctor and try to use Cao Zhiqiang as a breakthrough point to fully support Cao Zhiqiang, Cao Zhiqiang would not have been able to do this.
Of course, the source, or premise, of these things must be inseparable from the favor and support of the big leaders.
If you want to win the favor of a big leader, you must first be able to get to know them, and this is inseparable from Shazhu!
So in the final analysis, Cao Zhiqiang was able to accomplish such an astonishing career in a short period of time, and Shazhu was indispensable!
Without Si Zhu's initial introduction, Cao Zhiqiang would be a wealthy commoner with a little money at best, and he would never be where he is now.
Others may not be able to figure this out clearly, but Cao Zhiqiang is clear in his heart.
