After being busy until six o'clock in the evening, the young man named Li Baojun brought dinner to Wang Ye again.
In the past, due to poor profitability and lack of production tasks at the machinery factory, the workers were not busy at all and everyone had little money, so the factory-run canteen had been closed for a long time. Recently, with the surge in business, it is preparing to reopen.
So for these few days, Wang Ye, a single man, didn't deserve to have a good time on his own, so he had to eat at one house here and the other, all arranged by the old factory director.
After dinner, Wang Ye continued to work until ten o'clock in the evening.
"Phew! The painting is finally finished!"
Looking at the mechanical drawings spread out on the table, Wang Ye nodded with satisfaction.
The reason why he has been busy for so long is, on the one hand, that he has become rusty after not drawing for a long time, and it took a lot of time to get back to the state. On the other hand, Wang Ye did not just draw the drawings of steel pipe rockets.
Whether the contracting program succeeds or not, the large collective under the machine shop must have work to do.
After all, in such a large factory, gas tanks and steel pipe rockets that are about to be put into production are simply not enough to keep all workers busy, let alone young people like Li Baojun.
Too many idle people are not a good thing for the factory and will cause many unstable factors.
Besides, nowadays population is wealth, how can we waste so much wealth?
Therefore, Wang Ye had to find work for the collective. After a series of trade-offs, Wang Ye decided on a four-piece set of home appliances for the first batch of products, namely a washing machine, an electric fan, a refrigerator, and a television.
In the 1970s, the three-piece wedding set was a sewing machine, a bicycle, and a watch.
In the 1980s, with the reform and opening up and economic development, the three-piece wedding set would soon become a refrigerator, a washing machine, and a TV set. The floor-standing electric fan looked decent because of its larger size, and could barely be considered a big one. Home appliances.
So in terms of market demand, there is absolutely no problem in doing this.
However, for current machinery factories, the problem is how to produce these things. In terms of technology and production difficulty, washing machines and electric fans are the least difficult, while TVs and refrigerators are more difficult because they contain picture tubes and compressors. machine.
Even so, these two projects still need to be carried out.
Because Wang Ye knows very well that in the next three or four years, with the opening up of the country, the reform of converting the military into civilians, the joint-stock reform of state-owned factories, and the increase in market demand for electrical appliances, countless factories across the country will blindly start operations. These electrical items.
But at that time, picture tube and compressor technology were still big barriers for the country, and various manufacturers could only find ways to import core components from abroad or directly import production lines.
That's why Wang Ye planned to conquer these two difficult projects.
On the one hand, large collective enterprises sell their own goods, but the key is that in a year or two, they can directly provide core components and even entire production lines to domestic companies. This is a big and profitable business. After all, the money will not go to outsiders, right? It would be no fun if the foreign exchange you finally earned is taken away again!
"No matter what, let's put the washing machine and electric fan on the market first."
"These two are the least difficult. Women in a large group can wind the motor, and the overall assembly is left to the young men. There is no difficulty for them."
"As for the blades, iron shells, brackets, rollers, etc., they can be left to the machinery factory for OEM."
"If you can use iron, use iron. It is strong and durable. It is important to get a good reputation in the early stage so that it can continue to develop in the future."
A few decades later, "planned obsolescence" in the field of electrical appliances is very common. On the one hand, this is subject to cost and selling price. On the other hand, because the market is becoming increasingly saturated, this has become a method used by manufacturers. It needs to be replaced every year.
But in this day and age, Wang Ye is not prepared to be so shameless.
Anyway, the electrical appliance market will get bigger and bigger, so there is no need to consider the issue of replacement for the time being. Besides, in a few years, more and more manufacturers will engage in these products, and then everyone will start to engage in price wars. When the electrical appliance manufacturers go bankrupt one by one, we will have Reputation is the secret to survival.
"It's only the end of May, so electric fans and washing machines can catch up with the summer."
"As for the TV and refrigerator, just take your time!"
After deciding everything, Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, washed himself briefly and went to bed.
Perhaps because today's trip to the air force station touched Wang Ye, Wang Ye had a very restless sleep all night, until in the middle of the night, he suddenly had a dream.
In a dream.
Wang Ye saw a dozen nuclear-powered electromagnetic catapult aircraft carriers conducting a review ceremony on the sea. Twin-engine stealth fighter jets were constantly taking off and landing. A new generation of electromagnetic battleships equipped with orbital electromagnetic guns were cutting through the waves. They used shaftless pumps to propel the ocean. Black Hole's new strategic nuclear submarine broke through the water and floated directly to the surface!
Looking up, the aerospace fighter jets broke through the atmosphere and entered space. On the way, they encountered suborbital bombers cruising on combat readiness, and finally parked on the aerospace carrier in space orbit.
At this moment, the space carrier was conducting a delivery test of combat assault mechas. Humanoid mechas jumped from the space carrier like parachutes and fell towards the blue planet, turning into a ball of fire like meteorites. generally.
In the starry sky not far from the space carrier, is China's orbital transit space station. The rotating wheel is an artificial gravity device, and docked at the airport is an infrastructure warehouse launched from the ground through an electromagnetic orbital space elevator.
Then the infrastructure warehouse was pulled by the plasma electric thruster head and headed straight to the moon 380,000 kilometers away. There, the semi-underground Guanghan Palace City was in a critical period of construction. The ecological sphere had been completed, and In a smelting plant several kilometers away, mining robots are continuously transporting helium-3 ore, smelting it to obtain finished products, and finally transporting it to the energy station by aerial rail suspension trains.
Along with the thermonuclear reaction, electricity and heat are continuously supplied to Guanghan Palace City.
"Dong dong dong!"
Just when Wang Ye couldn't help grinning as he looked at the scenes in front of him, there was a sudden knock on the door!
"Who?"
Opening his eyes and looking at the smoke-yellow ceiling above his head, Wang Ye asked angrily. He finally fell asleep and had a sweet dream, but it was suddenly interrupted, and he was very angry.
Outside the door, the voice of the old factory director came:
"It's me, Wang Ye. Director Li is already here. Get up quickly!"
Hearing this, Wang Ye didn't have time to recall the sweet dream just now. He quickly sat up and straightened up. After washing up in a hurry, he followed the old factory director to the conference room. As expected, Director Li was already waiting here.
Seeing Wang Ye walking in, Director Li, who was smoking, put out most of his cigarettes and said with a smile:
"There's two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news."
"Wang Ye, which one do you want to listen to first?"
