My father-in-law's family was crowded with too many relatives, and every one of them seemed to be cannibals. Brother Lin could only abandon his wife and run out overnight to find his father for help.
Father Lin is enjoying a happy life recently. He has detailed information on more than a thousand patents, and the research and development of new lead-acid batteries is progressing very smoothly, and the technology department has produced engineering samples.
The Provincial Department of Light Industry sends people to do technical appraisal, and it must be to 'fill the domestic gap and reach the world's advanced level', or to conduct a selection of 'provincial excellence and ministry excellence'.
The ministries and commissions have already conducted research and found that similar foreign products have just appeared. After production, they will definitely be exported as "top products".
The domestic price is low, and as long as the quality is stable, it can definitely be sold to earn foreign exchange. In a few years, it will definitely be a ‘national inspection-free product’.
Although they are all routines, they represent that maintenance-free lead-acid batteries and gel batteries are recognized. This kind of "old" battery has many uses and has a long sales life. It is really a product that has no rival in the country.
Father Lin was at home. After listening to his son's sad description of his family's shortcomings, he pointed to the dining table in the small living room and said, "Sit down, you are also married, and sooner or later you will have to face those troubles.
Don't worry too much. Who doesn't have a few shameless relatives? Who doesn't have some bad luck? Let's have a drink and I'll talk to you."
Lin's mother brought an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. Brother Lin was still thinking about his wife, so he took a chopstick and put the cold dish into his mouth with a sad face. The cold dish tasted...
Brother Lin jumped up and felt a fire burning in his mouth.
Ah..., so spicy!
"Dad, what did you put in this cold dish?"
No, this spiciness is so familiar.
Brother Lin drank the stamina potion that Lin Wan brought back. After one gulp, he felt very energetic and didn't have to sleep all day and night.
Father Lin was extremely proud. He also took a bite of the cold dish into his mouth. His face was red with the same spicy food and hissing was delicious. He also said happily: "Is it delicious? I specially prepared it. What kind of health supplement did your sister bring back?
Here’s the cold dish.”
Salad?
Is there still this kind of thinking?
Fortunately, Uncle Zhou was not here. Otherwise, if he saw it, his eyes would be blown out. The stamina potion was used by Father Lin as a cold dish with chili oil. The more he ate it, the more delicious it became.
Brother Lin was originally depressed, but after eating a few mouthfuls of spicy cold dishes, he was in a good mood. He smiled bitterly at the table, took a few peanuts into his mouth, and asked: "Dad, what do you want to tell me?"
With the wine in his stomach and the side dishes in his mouth, Father Lin drank comfortably and sighed a little: "Watanabe Yuu is really powerful. The employees in our factory used to be more difficult to deal with, but now they are very obedient after being trained by him.
The employees work hard and the product quality is obviously two or three grades better. We are surprised that attention to details can be so effective.
In the past, our yield rate was considered excellent if it could reach 80%, but now it can reach 95%. The old devil feels that 95% is not enough, and it must be 99.9%.
The remaining 0.1% has to be sorted out through testing and cannot be sold." Father Lin sighed.
Brother Lin chewed the peanuts in his mouth and sighed: "The Japanese are so awesome. No wonder their products are well made and sold expensively."
Father Lin nodded and shook his head, "Zhou Xiaozi said this is because Japan is leading the way in industrialization, so we can just learn from it."
The powerful concept of "Europe, America, and Japan" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and Brother Lin didn't understand that Zhou Qingfeng deliberately mentioned "industrialization" for Mao.
Father Lin continued: "The cooperation between the group and Anyang Battery Factory is also going very well. They have strong technical strength and sent people to work with us to transform the production line and help us train workers.
The group has invested 20 million, and the new generation of maintenance-free battery production line will be started as soon as March next year. The engineering samples we produced have been tested repeatedly, and the new technology is indeed good."
Batteries have a wide range of uses, but the most important thing about batteries is safety. After hundreds of years of research on new batteries, there is no battery that is safer than lead-acid batteries.
But the maintenance of lead-acid batteries is a difficult problem. In the past, Navy submariners had to keep an eye on the status of the batteries in the submarine because during the discharge process, hydrogen and oxygen would overflow on the positive and negative electrodes.
In a closed submarine, if hydrogen and oxygen are not controlled well, there will be big trouble.
The maintenance-free battery solves this problem by changing the lead-antimony alloy to lead-calcium alloy, and through a series of innovations such as changing the battery structure.
The introduction of maintenance-free batteries means that all existing old-fashioned lead-acid batteries will be eliminated because the former have incomparable performance advantages.
This huge progress represents huge business opportunities, and behind it is countless money.
"I just got the news that Zhou Xiaozi came up with the idea, and He Yulan, who represents Xiaowan, is in charge. The group wants to advertise nationwide. The most important thing is to find a maintenance-free battery partner.
But to be honest, Tianyang’s conditions for engaging in the battery industry are not as good as Anyang’s. Anyang is rich in non-ferrous metal ores and has a cost advantage.
Zhou Xiaozi is not willing to block the technology, but directly discloses it. If we don't do something special, we will never be able to compete with other manufacturers."
Speaking of this, Father Lin took a drink and whispered: "The new technology has just come out and there is not much we can do. We plan to recycle the old batteries because the lead and antimony metals in them can be recycled.
This can save costs, and secondly, prevent used batteries from being thrown around. But this requires skills, and doing it casually will cause a lot of pollution.
As big as the market for maintenance-free batteries is, so is the market for recycling.
If we can start recycling used batteries and use the recycled lead to significantly reduce the cost of new batteries, Anyang will not be able to compete with us.
But this requires not only skills, but also a strong sense of responsibility, which ordinary people cannot do."
The more Father Lin spoke, the lower his voice became. Brother Lin's eyes opened wider and wider, and he asked in a low voice: "Dad, what do you mean?"
"Zhou Xiaozi said that recycling waste batteries is special. Without enough profit, no one is willing to do this job well. He plans to continue to spend money to carry out in-depth transformation of the 'Shengguang' battery factory so that it can adapt to the recycling project.
At the same time, most of the profit of the battery factory will be left to the employees of the battery factory. I made preliminary calculations and found that the annual gross profit of the last automated production line in the factory was at least 40 to 50 million. There are only more than 300 people in the factory...
..."
Brother Lin picked up a peanut. Hearing this, he loosened his chopsticks and dropped the peanut. He calculated in a daze how the 40 to 50 million gross profit should be divided among the more than 300 employees.
Father Lin continued: "It's better to consider the less. If we install two fully automatic production lines..."
Bang, the chopsticks in Brother Lin's hand fell off. He looked at his father in disbelief, "Dad, are you saying that Mr. Zhou is willing to give us all the money?"
"He said that at least 80% of the profits should be kept in the factory and not turned over to the group. But he asked us to ensure that recycling is done as well as possible.
In fact, if you really have the money to invest in professional recycling equipment and have responsible employees, this can definitely be done. It’s just that most people won’t do it.
If this thing is really done, our family will be able to earn millions in five years. Your wife's relatives' troubles will not be a big deal at all, they can be settled with money."
Father Lin said so boldly, he raised his neck and drank the wine, slammed the glass on the table, stared at his son and said: "Xiao Wan, I'm not worried anymore.
As a father, I must leave you a share of the inheritance. You must also be a father, and you must leave a share of the inheritance for your children."
The words were like thunder, which made Brother Lin's skin crawl all over his body, and his heart was up and down. The father and son have been father and son for more than thirty years, and they have never said such words. But this encouragement is more effective than any physical medicine.
It was truly a turbulent time.
In the deserted night, with dim lights, the father and son in front of the dining table in the living room spent the first half of their lives indifferently, but within a few months they experienced the beauty, ugliness, good and evil of the world.
The tide of the times is rolling, throwing little people to the top of the wave all the time. Whether they can seize the opportunity depends on everyone's ability.
