The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 91 If I buy their home appliances again, I will be a fool! (Subscribe)
"While we continue to deepen the photolithography process, we will also continue to move forward with the three processes of thin film deposition, etching, and ion implantation."

"If we keep moving forward together, we can greatly improve our research progress. What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he won the recognition of many professors and experts.

Some of the things that can be done by graduate students and undergraduates can be assigned to them, so that they can free up more energy to devote to research.

"But manpower is a problem," Gu Ming asked.

Although Beijing Institute of Technology took advantage of the opportunity of the Semiconductor Research Institute and China Europe International Business University to hold a seminar and brought in more than 30 experts.

We can be divided into two groups, but this number of people is still a bit insufficient.

Especially since many experts are old and have limited energy, we can't let them toil day and night.

Huang Xinhua smiled and said, "I was just about to say this. In fact, we definitely have enough manpower, but it depends on whether the experts and professors are willing to support our research."

After he finished speaking, the people below were stunned for a moment, and then they quickly reacted.

Lu Qian was the first to ask, "Professor Huang wants us to go to our respective schools and units to find people to help us?"

"This research on large-scale integrated circuits is the first of its kind in our country. It's a rare opportunity!" Huang Xinhua nodded without further ado.

If the research was just beginning, this request would obviously be difficult to get everyone's agreement.

But now the research progress is almost halfway done, and it is a foregone conclusion that results will be achieved, the only difference is whether they will be big or small.

These expert professors all have at least two students. If they can bring students in, it will not only be a good opportunity for learning, but will also be very helpful for their future work.

So a professor immediately said, "Okay, I'll bring my students here tomorrow. I haven't been keeping an eye on them recently, so who knows what they're doing when they're lazy."

"Being lazy is the least of my worries. I'm in Hai Province and I only plan to stay there for a few days. I didn't have many tasks assigned to me when I left. I'm afraid if I go back now, I won't know where I am."

"I trust my students, but they are always nitpicking. I can't rest assured if I don't keep them by my side."

……

Everyone was laughing and joking with each other, and it was obvious that they had no objection to this.

Finally, after counting the number of people, it is preliminarily estimated that the number of people in the experimental team will increase by 34.

21 of them will be able to come tomorrow, and as for the rest, Huang Xinhua and Qian Shuyan need to negotiate with the Ministry of Culture and Education.

Going out is a hassle these days. No matter where you go, you have to get a letter of introduction that specifies what you are doing and the time limit.

After discussing the recruitment, Huang Xinhua went to find Li Mu who was sitting in the corner and said with a smile: "How about it, do you want to do the experiment with me?"

"Okay." Li Mu nodded.

This answer surprised Huang Xinhua a little.

Li Mu usually agreed to things so readily and easily.

Seeing this, Li Mu explained: "I don't have much experience in hands-on experiments, so I'll take this opportunity to learn."

Hearing this, Huang Xinhua agreed: "Yes, it's a good idea. You have shown a high talent in theoretical knowledge for a long time, which made me ignore this problem."

"Science requires both theory and practice to continuously improve one's own level. Otherwise, what one learns will be nothing but castles in the air."

"So, in the future, you should spend more time on experiments, come to the lab, ask the experts and professors for advice, and learn more."

……

O continent, big baby.

In a large shopping mall, rows of air fryers are placed at the front of the shelves.

When the first group of guests walked in today, their eyes were immediately drawn to the air fryer:

"what is this?"

"It seems to be called an air fryer. Does it fry things with air?"

"How is that possible? Air can blow things up. I think it's another scam product."

……

The crowd was talking about this. Soon, the manager in charge of the mall came out and said, "Don't worry, this is the latest air fryer launched by our Taigu Group. It uses the most advanced air heat circulation heating..."

The manager said a few words, then noticed that the customer looked uninterested, so he immediately changed his tone:

"It can not only help you fry French fries, potato chips, popcorn, and fried chicken, but also make them more delicious than traditional frying methods."

"Let us demonstrate it to you live now."

After the manager finished speaking, he immediately asked the employees to bring the air fryer forward and put the ingredients that had been prepared long ago into the pot.

10 minute later.

When the smell of French fries filled the mall as the lid of the pot was opened, almost all customers who walked into the mall were attracted by its smell.

A slightly fat man came forward and said, "It smells so good, give me one!"

"Sir, we don't sell French fries, we sell pots. With this pot, you can make it yourself." The manager's face suddenly lit up with joy.

"How much?" The fat man was still a little hesitant.

The manager said, "It's 14 pounds."

"Give me one!" the fat man said immediately.

The customers who had been watching for a long time finally couldn't help but join the buying when they heard the price was so affordable.

……

Meanwhile, no one was interested in the air fryer in a small convenience store.

When George Sr. learned that Taigu Company had launched a new product, he gritted his teeth and spent a huge amount of money to buy 20 air fryers at one time.

I thought I could take advantage of a big company and make a fortune this time, but I didn't expect that after being on the shelves for a few days, no one was interested.

The only pregnant woman who asked about the price left without a second thought after hearing the price of 14 pounds.

He didn't even have time to introduce the functions of the air fryer.

"Did I really make a wrong judgment?" George couldn't help but doubt himself in his heart.

Just when George was falling into self-doubt, the door of his shop was suddenly pushed open by a young student.

George ignored him; he was still upset.

After the young student came in, he looked around the store. When he saw the air fryer, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Boss, you also sell air fryers here."

"Yes, do you want one?" George was shocked when he heard this. "Produced by Taigu Group, both the technology and quality are excellent..."

Before he could finish his words, the young student suddenly walked out again.

George almost lost hope when he saw this.

But the next moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside: "We have air fryers here, come and buy some!"

Soon after he finished speaking, a large group of people quickly poured into George's small shop.

……

Taigu Company, Marketing Department.

"Ding-ling-ling~" The moment the bell rang, it was answered by a hand.

The operator said, "Hello, this is the marketing department of Taigu Company. It's a pleasure to serve you."

……

"Okay, 100 air fryers, delivered to XXX. Don't worry, we will deliver them on time. I wish you a happy life."

The moment the operator put down the phone, colleagues around him couldn't help but cheer. "Don't be too happy, maybe it's just a coincidence." said a bald man who was the supervisor.

As he spoke, the sound of "ding-ling-ling~" telephones rang in front of the operators one after another:

"Hello, is this the XXX store? I can order 50 pieces."

"20 air fryers will be delivered to your store tomorrow morning"

"50? Sir, you are so courageous. Believe me, it will not disappoint you."

The ringing of the phone sounded like a symphony, as clear as the tinkling of coins falling to the ground.

……

Hong Kong, the Hong Kong branch of the Foreign Trade Affairs Department of Taigu Group.

Kevin was fidgeting at his workstation.

He cursed in his heart: "Damn it, it's been seven days, a whole week, and there's no news at all?"

"I knew these Orientals couldn't make good home appliances!"

"What an air fryer, it's just a failed piece of junk. If I trust the Orientals again and buy their home appliances, I'd be a stupid ass!"

Kevin stood up anxiously, wishing he could punch the person who "tricked" him into buying an air fryer a few days ago.

Just when Kevin was regretting not falling, the door of the branch was suddenly knocked open by someone.

Ryan, who had just joined the company, held up a telegram and said, "Mr. Kevin, the headquarters sent a message asking us to place an order for 3 air fryers immediately!"

"What, what?" Kevin was stunned when he heard the news, then he suddenly picked up the phone on the table and called the manager he met when he bought the air fryer last time.

……

In a villa in Hong Kong.

"Ding-ling-ling~" The secretary picked up the phone, asked a few questions, and then respectfully said to the middle-aged man standing by the window looking east:
"Mr. He, this is Manager Gu from Hongri. He said that the Taigu Group from Daying wants to buy a batch of air fryers. The quantity is not small. I came to ask your opinion."

The middle-aged man called Mr. He turned around and smiled, as if he had expected it, and said, "Let him bring his people to see me."

"Yes." The secretary immediately replied to the person on the other end of the phone.

Not long after, a black car drove into the villa.

Kevin got out of the car and looked at the villa standing on Taiping Mountain with envy.

Walking into the living room, he first silently recited the negotiation skills he had prepared.

After a while, he saw the owner behind the air fryer, a middle-class Oriental man with a hooked nose and a resolute face.

Kevin took the initiative to speak: "Hello, Mr. He, I am Kevin, the director of the Hong Kong branch of the foreign trade department of Taigu Group."

He had just been promoted when he received the telegram today.

"Hello, Mr. Kevin." Mr. He smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

After both of them were seated, the secretary brought tea.

Looking at Mr. He who was drinking tea leisurely, Kevin couldn't sit still anymore.

He said, "Mr. He, I heard that your air fryer is not popular among Hong Kong people. It seems that few people are interested in it in major shopping malls?"

Mr. He smiled and said, "That's true, but business is not about short-term gains. The air fryer is a good thing, and I believe it will slowly start to make a profit."

"If not, why would you come to visit, Mr. Kevin?"

"Cunning Xia people." Kevin cursed in his heart when he heard this.

By coming to the door first, we have already lost some of the initiative.

If I take the initiative to ask for the purchase of an air fryer again, it will definitely be difficult to bargain for the price.

Knowing that he couldn't easily defeat this old fox in the business world, Kevin simply said:
"Who can tell whether we will make money or lose money in the future? I have a good idea."

"Air fryers are more suitable for our Western eating habits. If you focus on the market in Europe, you can get greater profits."

Mr. He smiled and said, "Oh, thank you for your advice, Mr. Kevin, thank you for coming all the way to give me this advice!"

Seeing that Mr. He still refused to take the bait, Kevin had no choice but to take the initiative and say, "Mr. He, I came here to place a big order. I mean the air fryer!"

Mr. He said cheerfully: "Okay, no problem!"

"Don't worry, the price is still the same as the price you paid last time."

"No, no, no, the last price, converted into Y pounds is close to 8 pounds. This price is too expensive." Kevin shook his head quickly.

He continued: "This time I need 3 air fryers and I hope to set the price at £5."

"Mr. Kevin, you are such a joker." Mr. He smiled and said, "5 pounds is not even enough to cover the cost."

"And from what I understand, air fryers are selling really well in the market, retailing for up to £15 each, is that correct?"

Kevin was slightly surprised when he heard this.

He just got the news from the company today, but he didn't expect that Mr. He also knew about it.

But fortunately, he still has a trump card.

Kevin said: "Mr. He, as far as I know, the origin of the air fryer is not in Hong Kong."

"You should know that the OM countries are now implementing a blockade policy against Xia Country. As long as Taigu Company makes a little effort, I guarantee that you will not get even one air fryer from Xia Country!"

These words are almost a naked threat.

However, this is indeed the case. No matter how powerful Mr. Ho is in Hong Kong, this is still a breeding ground for big babies.

Mr. He still had no expression on his face. He just sat up straight and said, "But are you willing to give up such a big piece of cake?"

"Even if the cost price is set at 8th place, you will still have a profit of more than 100%."

"Of course, if you want to fight to the death, I will accompany you."

Looking at Kevin's bright eyes, Kevin couldn't help but sweat a little.

Naturally, he didn't dare to fight to the death, and the company couldn't give up such high profits.

"Six pounds, this is my bottom line. If you can't sell your goods, you won't make any profit." Kevin gritted his teeth.

Mr. He smiled and said, "I heard that your Taigu Group has changed the trademark of the air fryer to yours?"

"Seven pounds, no more!" Kevin looked at Mr. He, "With Taigu Group here, no matter where your goods come from, they won't be checked!"

“Of course, all the air fryers you produce must be changed to the Taigu Group’s trademark.”

"Deal." Mr. He nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation."

……

Half an hour later, Kevin, who had finalized the follow-up details, walked out of the manor exhausted.

Mr. He was very happy that he had finally accomplished his mission. He immediately told his secretary, "Send a telegram to the country right away and tell them the good news."

"Also, please ask them to make 3 air fryers within three months!"
