Chapter 20 A huge market that no one pays attention to: Go (brothers, please recommend and collect)
"That's right," Jiang He nodded hastily, "We can't really produce canned food, can we?"

"Of course not," Zhang Qihang laughed, "This thing...hehe..."

As he spoke, he shook his head, apparently disliking the canning business.

Seeing Zhang Qihang like this, Jiang He, Liu Jiang, and Xie Haiqiang became more and more curious and puzzled: If you don't produce air compressors, and you don't do canned food, what exactly do you want to produce as a factory manager?
Just when the three were at a loss, Zhang Qihang asked them, "Lao Jiang, Lao Liu, and Lao Xie, how much do you know about the small agricultural machinery market?"

"Small agricultural machinery?" The three of them looked at each other and were a little confused: "Are you talking about small four-wheelers, walk-behind tractors, and tricycles?"

"It's not a tricycle, it's just a hand-held and a small four-wheeler," Zhang Qihang asked, "How much do you know?"

"..."

The three of them looked at me, I looked at you, and finally looked at Zhang Qihang together, with the same meaning in their eyes: Neuropathy, who would be idle to understand this?We are not agricultural system people.

Zhang Qihang was not surprised by the reaction of the three, this situation was within his expectation, he nodded slightly: "You don't know? I know, let me tell you, since 84, our country's small four-wheeler The annual output of tractors is not less than 40;

Since 90, the annual sales of small four-wheelers in our country has not been lower than 108 million. Last year, our total annual sales of small four-wheeled vehicles in China was 118 million. Specifically, in our province, the total annual sales volume is about is 18;

By the end of last year, the number of small and walk-behind tractors nationwide was 729 million units, of which about 3 million units were owned in Shandong Province. How about that?Are you surprised? "

(Note: The above data comes from the "Statistical Bulletin on National Economic and Social Development in 1991" issued by the National Bureau of Statistics, and the figures are true and valid)

Jiang He: "..."

Liu Jiang: "..."

Xie Haiqiang: "..."

The faces of the three were surprised and confused.

I am amazed that the annual sales and ownership of small four-wheel tractors in our country are so high. These two figures are far beyond my imagination. In any case, tractors are also automatic machines. Our country looks like It doesn't seem to be very powerful, but the output of tractors is so high?This is beyond their imagination;
What's confused is that they don't understand, what is the meaning of what Director Zhang said to himself?For the air compressor factory, what is the use of knowing this?

I knew it was so!
Zhang Qihang sighed: "I ask you, how do these little four-wheelers start?"

After a pause, Zhang Qihang casually called Jiang He's name: "Lao Jiang, tell me."

"Of course it's a manual start." Jiang He felt that Zhang Qihang was just asking nonsense. He was a little dissatisfied, so he couldn't help but scolded his factory manager a little: "Could it still be an electric start?"

Liu Jiang and Xie Haiqiang wanted to nod their heads: yes, the small four-wheel tractor is not hand cranked, is it possible that it is electric?
But looking at the face of the other party being the factory manager, I decided to forget it.

Seeing Jiang He's expression of "Are you stupid?", Zhang Qihang struggled a few times before he decided not to be as knowledgeable as this idiot. At the same time, a sense of superiority in IQ arose, and he sighed. : "This is the problem and the opportunity for our factory.

What do you think, not to mention the number of people in possession, it is only the new sales every year, just in our province, we can sell 20 small four-wheelers a year, you have never thought about it, just those small cars that are newly sold every year. How much money can you make if all four wheels are equipped with electric start? "

Jiang He's eyes were full of disappointment.

No one is an idiot. Zhang Qihang has said this for the sake of it. Why didn't the three of Jiang He know what he was thinking about?
Before that, they thought that their superiors had sent them a capable factory manager, but they didn't expect how much disappointment they had.

It's just that the other party is his own factory manager after all, Jiang He hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Director, it's not a question of whether to install an electric starter or not, what's the point of an electric starter? Now, an electric starter system, if nothing else, at least have a starter motor and a battery, right? These two things cost at least a few hundred dollars. Why did the peasant brothers spend hundreds of dollars for this when they bought a tractor? A flashy thing?"

Liu Jiang didn't hold back: "Old Jiang is right, the factory manager, if the small four-wheeler can be equipped with electric starter, would those tractor manufacturers not know how to install it on their own products? In my opinion, people just know it. No one buys this stuff if it's installed, that's why it's not installed."

Xie Haiqiang didn't speak, but from his expression, he knew that this guy was also on the side of his colleague.

Although Jiang He, Xie Haiqiang and Liu Jiang did not agree with their own ideas, Zhang Qihang was not angry, because he was very clear that what these three people said were the truth, and it was also the common perception of the society on small four-wheel tractors:
It's just such a small thing, what kind of electric start?Isn't hand cranking enough?Why pay extra for this?
If this thing really has a market, do those manufacturers eat rice?They don't know how to put this thing on?
On the contrary, Zhang Qihang is a heretic!
But Zhang Qihang is very clear that the electromechanical start of tractors is the future development trend. Nowadays, small four-wheel tractors are all hand-started, but around 2000, small four-wheel tractors can be equipped with electric start as an option. By 2005 Years later, almost all small four-wheel tractors are electric start.

My home is in the countryside. In my previous life, I also went home to visit the second elder after a small career. I saw that the tractors of several neighbors were all electric starters. I was very curious, and I talked to the neighbors specially.

According to the neighbors, the electric starter is the same as the air conditioner: "When there was no air conditioner in the past, didn't we experience the same in summer? It's hot to death without seeing anyone, but if the air conditioner is installed in the house, If you don't turn on the air conditioner in summer, it will kill you!"

Zhang Qihang agreed with this, and felt that it was extremely incisive!
Because of curiosity, he also bought a tractor's starter motor from the Internet to play with it to understand its structure.

It is precisely because of the change in the starting method of the small four-wheel tractor that Zhang Qihang decided to take this thing as his first step when he was thinking about it countless times at midnight, because in this era, everyone really thinks that the tractor starts with electricity. It's a heresy, but I don't know how much market demand is hidden behind it.
