Li Lizhi stared at her speech and looked at Du He happily: "Really? We want to build a mahjong store for sale?"
Du He nodded: "Yes, you can't make money by selling mahjong alone. It's best to match it with a mahjong table, then you can make more money."
"Wow, Du He, you are so kind!" Li Lizhi said happily, standing on tiptoes and chirping with Du He.
Then, the little girl ran away with a blushing face.
…
Just do it if you say it, otherwise you are a coward.
Du He had dinner that day, then locked himself in his room and started designing drawings.
First, add an assembly line for mahjong production in the furniture factory. This is not difficult.
Anyway, the wood is first cut into pieces, then polished, and then carved. Since Du He invented mahjong, furniture factories have successively produced dozens of pairs of mahjong, and it can be said that they are familiar with the process.
The only trouble is the production of mahjong tables.
Of course, it is not difficult to make a simple table. It only needs to be modified from an ordinary table. But what Du He wants to make is a semi-automatic mahjong table that can also be used as a mahjong machine.
His initial idea was to shuffle the cards by hand. Even if the efficiency is slow, it doesn't matter. As long as it can be realized, in this era, it is definitely a high-tech existence. Even if it costs 10,000 yuan, someone will buy it.
This is what really makes money, and this is the content that can really form barriers.
Naturally, the design is also quite difficult.
As a later liberal arts student, Du He only had a partial understanding of machinery, and he actually explored many things on his own.
For example, the most important part of the automatic shuffling part of the mahjong table, Du He planned to learn from the design ideas of later generations and use the principle of magnets to realize it. He put magnets on the back of the mahjong tiles, and then designed a magnet with magnets under the mahjong table.
After the turntable is shaken by hand, the back of the mahjong can be sucked over. As the turntable rotates, the mahjong will be sent to the groove next to it, placed neatly, and then sent to the table.
This is a brain-consuming technical job.
Du He spent a whole night and finally designed the drawings. The next morning, he didn't even think about sleeping, so he took Zhang Du and two craftsmen to do the work.
Du He and the three of them hid in the laboratory and just did some operations. They could only hear the clanging noises in the laboratory, and no one knew what was going on inside.
…
Three days later, Du He finally built Datang's first semi-automatic mahjong machine.
In the past few days, he had nothing to eat or drink, and he conducted experiments again and again. Although the principle was simple, the precision of the manufacturing industry was inaccurate, causing problems again and again.
Even this mahjong machine seemed crude and fell far short of Du He's expectations. The probability of successful hand shuffling was only 60%.
In other words, it will get stuck about four times out of ten.
Once it gets stuck, you have to open the lid below, press a button, pour out all the cards and put them back in again.
Moreover, the coded mahjong does not come out from four openings, but four strips come out from one opening, and it needs to be moved to the four sides of the table manually.
Even if there are many flaws, in this era, this is still a high-tech equipment that transcends the times.
Zhang Du and others couldn't even believe that this was the machine they themselves had personally participated in building.
Zhang Du said proudly: "Master, if this mahjong machine is sold, I'm afraid it can be sold for 10,000 yuan."
Du He rubbed his messy hair and exhaled: "Sell a few, this thing always jams, buy it back and use it as a display. It's a machine that doesn't work well, so there's no need to exist."
With that said, Du He picked up the hammer and smashed the machine into pieces.
Zhang Du and others were unable to stop him in time.
Looking at the parts scattered on the ground, everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Zhang Du looked at Du He in surprise: "Master, this..."
"It's okay. I'm going to take a nap. Let's talk about it later. It's not a workmanship problem, it's a defect in the design. I'll do it all over again after I've modified it... Semi-finished products can't be put on the market. They'll be smashed by then.
But this is my young master’s signature!”
Du He waved his hand, returned to the room and fell asleep.
Du He slept for a full day and night.
On the way, both Li Yuanshu and Li Lizhi came to visit, but they were stopped directly outside by Lu Bu.
On the second day, Du He felt refreshed after getting up. He picked up the banknotes and prepared to continue designing the mahjong machine.
At this time, Lu Bu's voice sounded outside: "Master, someone is visiting!"
"Who is it? Missing!" Du He waved his hand and said.
Lu Bu said at the door: "Master, I am your concubine."
Du He was stunned.
Then he jumped up quickly, ran to the door, and slapped Lu Bu on the back of the head: "You bastard, I am an upright and upright young master, how can I get a concubine..."
Lu Bu said with a confused look on his face: "This is the woman who invited you to do things in the small courtyard that day at Deyue Tower."
As he said that, Lu Bu showed a hey smile and stared at Du He.
Du He's face darkened: "Lu Bu, you've been a bit skinny lately!"
Lu Bu: "Hehehehe...it's all taught well by the young master."
Du He secretly wondered if Mo Yifei suddenly came to visit, could there be something good going on?
Speaking of the two of them, I only met them twice, and they were both extremely embarrassed.
Du He came to the living room with doubts and met Mo Yifei.
Mo Yifei seemed to be more beautiful than before, and she only had her maid Xiaoping with her.
"Master Du, long time no see!" Mo Yifei saw Du He and took the initiative to bow and salute.
Du He scratched his head: "Didn't we meet at Deyue Tower last time? It was only a few days ago..."
Mo Yifei: "..."
The two sat down and exchanged pleasantries.
Only then did Mo Yifei realize that Du He had been perfunctory with her, saying nothing and not thinking at all.
After a pause, Mo Yifei said straight to the point: "Master Du, I guess you are worried about the mahjong machine?"
Um?
Du He suddenly raised his head and stared at Mo Yifei carefully, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Oh, Mr. Du, you scared the little girl. You were so fierce just now, and your eyes looked like you wanted to kill someone. The little girl is so scared..." Mo Yifei said coquettishly.
Du He didn't take this trick and said coldly: "I don't like to beat around the bush. Tell me, how did you know about this?"
Mo Yifei covered her mouth and smiled: "It's not a secret. Now, many people know that you made mahjong machines. Because you didn't succeed, you smashed them into pieces. The little girl is here today to solve your problem, Mr. Du."
.”
"How can you, a weak woman, help me solve this problem?" Du He asked with a smile.
Mo Yifei snorted softly: "Master Du, don't underestimate women. You also went to Deyue Tower to see my small yard that day. What do you think of the design of the donkey fetching water?"
“That’s pretty clever!”
"Mr. Du, have you ever heard of the Mo family's mechanism technique?" Mo Yifei suddenly asked seriously.
…
