struggle in a small town

Chapter 352

Lin Zhiyuan chatted with Dong Li, and they both felt that the bagging machine could be done, but they had to have patented technology.

Without further ado, the two of them asked Song Zhe to lead the way to the orchard that Song Zhe was talking about.

Fortunately, the distance is not too far, only 10 minutes by car.

They were picking bags at this time, and the owner of the orchard was so busy that he was sweating. Knowing their purpose, he yelled into the orchard and called out his son.

The young man looked 26, wearing glasses, and looked very gentle. He introduced himself as Wang Lei.

Dong Li took out his cigarette case and sent one to Wang Lei: "Man, I heard that you have built a bagging machine, which is very useful."

Wang Lei showed his white teeth: "It's nothing to do when I'm idle."

"Do you want to make some money with this?"

"To tell you the truth, I thought, I found a lot of people, but I didn't talk about it."

This is quite normal.

Most of the people who want this thing are fruit farmers, and it will only take a while. If you bite your teeth and hire a few more people, the problem can be solved. There is no need to buy it.

Dong Li said that he is engaged in molds, and if he can cooperate, he can mass-produce them.

Wang Lei said "wait a minute" and ran away in a hurry.

Lin Zhiyuan stood in the open space, looking at the apples on the treetops, he felt that the apples planted by Song Zhe were not as big as those planted by Song Zhe.

Song Zhe is very proud. He has learned a lot from Zhuang Jia this year, and he has become half an apple expert. Ordinary fruit farmers really can't compare with him.

Soon Wang Lei came back, holding a dusty thing in his hand, with a long wire attached to it, and a wide belt around his waist.

"This is the bagging machine I got."

Several people gathered together and passed around to look around.

In Lin Zhiyuan's hands, he found that the casing of the machine should be glued together with old plastic, a completely handmade product.

Wang Lei introduced next to it: "This is for storing paper bags. There is a motor inside to send the paper bags to the designated position. There is a structure in the front that can open the paper bags. When you use it, put the apple in it, press this button, and it will automatically open. Fold the iron flaps around the edges of the paper bag."

"There is a battery pack on my waist, and it can last for eight or nine hours on a single charge."

It seems that there is no high-end technology, but it is easy to use!
Lin Zhiyuan took a few steps back, took out his mobile phone and searched, and found that a company selling similar bagging machines cost 3500 sets.

It's just that this company is in another province.

Lin Zhiyuan was a little worried. There was already a company selling it, and most likely he had applied for a patent a long time ago. Will the one made by Wang Lei be suspected of infringement?
He hesitated for a while, then stepped forward and pointed the phone screen at Wang Lei: "Look at this."

"This"

Wang Lei took the phone, and was a little annoyed after reading it: "This is just made out, I made it out the year before last."

"Have you applied for a patent yet?"

Wang Lei shook his head and became even more frustrated: "I'm just a farmer and I don't know anything about patents."

Lin Zhiyuan encouraged him: "Don't worry, let's ask first, maybe the internal structure is different."

On the way back, Dong Li discussed with Lin Zhiyuan that it would be better to act as an agent for the company's products from other provinces instead of starting a new brand.

Lin Zhiyuan replied while observing the road conditions: "3500 a set, it is a bit expensive for fruit farmers."

Dong Li thought about what Song Zhe said, 3500 yuan was enough to hire someone to make more than 2 bags.

Moreover, things that use electricity are more likely to break if they are left unused. If you think about using them the next year, you may have to spend money on repairs and buy new batteries.

Before going to bed at night, Lin Zhiyuan told Zhang Xuejiao about it, hoping she would give her some advice.

Zhang Xuejiao looked at the ceiling quietly, and it took a while before she spoke: "It would be great if the price of the machine could be reduced to a few hundred dollars."

"New products, the price will not come down for a while."

"Ah."

Zhang Xuejiao thought for a while, and came up with an idea: "Husband, if it's better to rent instead of buy?"

"rent?"

"That's right." Zhang Xuejiao's eyes were burning: "The time spent each year is very short, and the fruit farmers may feel sorry for the money. If the rent is paid by the day, perhaps more people will be willing to try."

"I'll find them to calculate the cost tomorrow."

Dong Li found a familiar processing factory and manufactured a finished product according to Wang Lei's design ideas, and found that the cost of mass production of this thing is actually not high.

It is estimated that the price is more expensive than the patent.

The problem is, Wang Lei has no patent.

Lin Zhiyuan made a decisive decision: "Let's take our things and go to the company in other provinces to ask."

Leaving as soon as they said it, Lin Zhiyuan, Dong Li and Wang Lei bought train tickets for the next morning and rushed to other provinces.

Before leaving, Zhang Xuejiao helped pack the luggage, and told Lin Zhiyuan to be careful on the road and put safety first.

Lin Zhiyuan hugged her and didn't let go: "Honey, I don't know how many days I'll be away, and I leave the family affairs to you."

"Don't worry." Zhang Xuejiao was also a little bit reluctant, but her mouth was firm: "I'm tired of staying with you all day."

On the first day Lin Zhiyuan left, Zhang Xuejiao didn't feel anything, anyway, the two of them usually just slept.

On the contrary, Lin Zhiyuan missed her so much that he sent a video at night, saying that he had already contacted that company and made an appointment to have a chat.

The next day, Zhang Xuejiao missed her a little bit, worried that Lin Zhiyuan would not be acclimatized, and if she fell ill, there would be no one to take care of her.

Fortunately, Lin Zhiyuan posted another video at night, saying that the bagging machine made by Wang Lei is more practical than that company's products in some details, and they are still in communication.

On the third day, Zhang Xuejiao hugged Xixi and muttered, "Do you miss Dad?"

Chihi gave her a smile.

During the normal video call at night, Lin Zhiyuan didn't mention the bagging machine, but only said that he missed his wife and Xixi.

Zhang Xuejiao thought that his conversation was not going well, so she didn't ask any further questions.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Zhang Xuejiao was reciting materials in the office, feeling quite restless.

After all, it was the first time the two had been separated for such a long time.

In the past, Zhang Xuejiao went to Guangzhou alone, and only spent two nights there.

"sister?"

Zuo Ting called her a few times, but seeing that she didn't respond, she walked up to her: "Sister!"

Zhang Xuejiao finally came back to her senses: "You scared me to death, what's wrong?"

"My mother-in-law asked me to ask if there is any free time in the last two months. Their company needs team building."

"Are you directly asking if Longlong is faster?"

Zuo Ting turned her face away: "I am in a cold war with him."

"It's really strange, Longlong is willing to fight with you?"

"I have a unilateral cold war with him." Zuo Ting changed the topic: "You are familiar with Zhang Fu, please help me ask."

"Row."

Zhang Xuejiao called Zhang Fu and learned that there would be two free days next month, so she wrote down the date and handed it to Zuo Ting.

But she was still curious: "Why do you two have a cold war?"

"It's about the money."

Zuo Ting moaned and complained, saying that Luo Yunlong didn't listen to persuasion, and was still secretly sending money to Zuo Ting's parents, adding up to more than 2 yuan one after another.

Zuo Ting still dare not tell her mother-in-law.

Zhang Xuejiao chuckled: "That's easy, just ask Liu Yi to give you Longlong's salary and bonus directly."

"Is this okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with it."

Zuo Ting thought about it for a while, and then she made up her mind: "Okay, I'll go find Liu Yi right away."
