Chapter 329 The unique design of dual-purpose lamps and fans
Yu Tian returned to Chenxi Electrical Appliance Factory and met Liu Lihong in the conference room.
Liu Lihong has done a lot of work in the past two days. Making the body of the hot water kettle is not a difficult problem. She only needs to make major changes to the original production line for rice cookers.
The only difficulty is the shape of the spout and the design of the reed.
Yu Tian described in detail the sound standards he wanted to achieve.
Liu Lihong kept it in mind and decided to ask an old master her father was familiar with to try it out in order to achieve a technical breakthrough.
"Is the injection molding factory going bad?"
After hearing Yu Tian talk about Guo Huai's attitude, Liu Lihong frowned and said, "But if we don't cooperate with him, who else can we turn to? There is one on the outskirts of the city, but it is just a small workshop, small in scale and very unstable. I can't do it.
Let’s talk to Guo Huai again and I can just beg him, okay?”
Yu Tian refused.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult for the weak to sit down and talk about cooperation with the strong on an equal footing.
It's just that Guo Huai is short-sighted and cannot see clearly that Yu Tian, a 'weak' person, is actually a truly strong person.
Therefore, there is really no need to cooperate with such a superior rat who only looks at what is in front of him.
"I'll go to the small workshop in the afternoon, and now I'll draw a drawing for you."
Yu Tian found some paper and drew pictures of kingfishers, trains and dragons.
The kingfisher and the train are both in real shapes, while the dragon is set in a slightly cartoon style, chubby, holding a horn, and looks quite cute.
Liu Lihong glanced at it twice and praised it repeatedly.
The two then separated. Liu Lihong went to hire a master with exquisite craftsmanship, while Yu Tian went straight to the suburbs.
An hour later, three o'clock in the afternoon.
Near a residential area on the outskirts of Beijing, Yu Tian found the Hualien Injection Molding Factory, which covers an area no larger than a football field.
The scale is indeed small, more than ten times smaller than the Huaihai Paper and Plastic Factory, but the whole factory is very neat, even the snow on the sign at the door has been swept away, it is clean and deserted.
The security guard at the gate greeted me politely.
After asking about business, I went in immediately to make a report.
Not long after.
A sweaty middle-aged man wearing a military coat came down from upstairs. He hurriedly approached and welcomed Yu Tian into the courtyard.
This man's name is Zhang Guoqiang. He is tall and lean, with a Chinese character on his face and a resolute look on his face. He is the boss of the Hualien Injection Molding Factory.
He had just entered the hospital five minutes before Yu Tian, and had been doing business all morning in vain and had not even had time to drink water.
Sitting in the neat little office, Zhang Guoqiang did not speak for the first time, but found a small glass and poured Yu Tian a glass of water.
Then he picked up the enamel quilt himself and drank several gulps.
After putting down the enamel cup and understanding the situation, Zhang Guoqiang let out a sigh of relief and said regretfully, "It seems that we share the same fate. My Hualien injection molding factory is not much better. Almost all businesses, large and small, in the market have been taken over by Guo
The Huaihai Injection Molding Factory in Huai has been monopolized by one company, so I will finally stick to it and prepare to transform after the New Year."
Monopoly is the goal that every industry leader wants to achieve.
Obviously there was no anti-monopoly law in the 1980s, and the market economy was in a period of vigorous development. Anyone with some ability wanted to monopolize the market and become the dominant player.
Take Phil Electrical Appliances Factory, for example, they have defeated many other small and medium-sized electrical appliances manufacturers through various normal and abnormal competitions.
The same goes for their partner Huaihai Injection Molding Factory. Through its cooperation with Phil, it has monopolized most of the production orders on the market and has become stronger and stronger, leaving other small factories to survive in the cracks.
Yu Tian first asked Zhang Guoqiang if he could customize the fan blades and base as well as the price of the plastic.
Zhang Guoqiang naturally wanted to promote business. After hearing that it was an order of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, he immediately gave a very reasonable ex-factory price.
As for the construction period, it’s no problem.
Hualien Injection Molding Factory has almost no work to do, only time and labor.
But there is another very important point that must be mentioned.
He frowned and said, "Boss Yu, I welcome cooperation. But to be honest, our factory cannot be compared with Huaihai Injection Molding Factory in terms of scale, technology and even production quality. Even if we don't mention the quality of materials
In comparison, just in terms of production equipment, we are inferior to others, so you should think twice before taking action."
Very real.
Say whatever you have to say.
Yu Tian quite agrees with such a straightforward person.
He asked Zhang Guoqiang to take him out of the office building and went to the production workshop nearby to check the specific situation.
really.
The equipment here has not been updated for two or three years.
The molds are aging, the equipment is unstable, and even the production line has faults. Some broken areas require workers to manually reconnect. It is really difficult to maintain the condition. The only bright spot is that the workshop is very clean and spotless.
"How can the quality be guaranteed?"
After walking under the tree at the door, Yu Tian asked.
"How about this."
Zhang Guoqiang couldn't make a guarantee, so he said, "Boss Yu, please draw the drawings now, and I will find a master to cooperate. Let's calculate the data of the fan blades, outline, and base together. Give me three days and we will study it carefully.
Production. I will personally deliver the sample to your Chenxi Electrical Appliance Factory in two days. Can we make a decision then?"
Zhang Guoqiang was very sincere and didn't even ask for a deposit.
Yu Tian immediately agreed, immediately found his master, and returned to the office to draw the drawings.
An hour later, the initial decision was made.
As for the installation position of the motor, it can be changed later without any problem.
However, Zhang Guoqiang was very puzzled by the shape of the electric fan.
"A floor-standing fan, a light bulb in the middle control area, and imitation gold plating. This is the first time I have seen such an interesting design. What do you think?"
What do you think?
This is called the first of its kind in the country!
With the imitation gold plating process and the unique design of dual-purpose lamp and fan, this is a phenomenal product that was only available after the 1990s.
At that time, this design could be called an "Internet celebrity" product. Once it was launched, it was snapped up by people. Yu Tian was just a few years ahead of schedule and used it first.
He also has a trump card.
That is ‘natural wind’.
But it's not possible now. This requires upgrading and transforming the motor, and an ultrasonic motor can achieve this perfectly.
When we left Hualien, it was almost dark.
Yu Tian did not go home, but returned to Chenxi Electrical Appliance Factory again.
Regarding the invitation letter sent by Phil Electric Factory to attend the annual meeting, it is necessary to tell Liu Zuolin.
"Annual meeting?"
Liu Zuolin didn't want to participate, "I won't go, Tian'er, I definitely won't go! I know what they mean, don't they just want to humiliate us and elevate themselves? Look, our factory's name is still on the list
Handwritten, this is simply naked discrimination! Don’t think about it, this must be Zhao Panwei’s idea. He used to take the lead in organizing the annual meeting here every year. This treacherous white-eyed wolf, he is just a food.
Shit dog!"
Whenever Zhao Panwei and Wang Jialiang were mentioned, Liu Zuolin became very angry.
"OK."
Yu Tian signaled Liu Zuolin to calm down, "Uncle Liu, don't go. Lihong and I will go. We still have to participate. There are so many bosses in the capital, and I really need to let them know me."
Liu Zuolin remained silent, feeling depressed. Then he changed the subject and asked about the injection molding factory.
After hearing that Yu Tian said that he had found Hualien, he shook his head, "That's not possible, Hualien is too small, and the quality and construction period cannot be guaranteed!"
quality?
Construction period?
These two points are actually what Yu Tian pays the least attention to.
The purpose of giving up quality is to reduce costs.
And the construction period?
He already had long-term plans.
As long as the electric fan is reasonable, has similar functions, has similar wind power, and can be used for more than five years, it will meet his psychological expectations.
As for military-standard electric fans such as the Camel brand, he does not regard himself as a competitor on the same track as them, because he is in the low-end market, and the countryside surrounds the city.
