Chapter 244: Become famous (first update)
Liu Hai makes small household appliances mainly for export. Now that Boss Huo has opened up the situation, he will work hard to seize some markets for small books. In terms of labor costs and material costs, the mainland has a great advantage. .

Especially in the era of planned economy, cost occupies a great advantage.

Liu Hai also knew that because of the fan issue this time, the higher-ups were planning to buy a few more large chemical production lines from abroad. In the past, they were limited to Big Brother, but now with Boss Huo's approach, anyone can do it, as long as the price is right.

Subsequent washing machines and refrigerators also require a lot of plastic.

Because of the shortage of plastics in the country, Liu Hai planned to build a rice cooker first. The rice cooker was even simpler. Liu Hai had heard of a rice cooker, but he didn't know what it looked like.

What Liu Hai wants to build is the type of rice cooker that was used in later generations, which is similar to a kettle. This rice cooker is full of gas.

They are all purely mechanical things, mainly heating chassis materials, and others.

----------------

When Liu Hai was making rice cookers in Kyoto, the first batch of six-cylinder marine high-speed propellers passed through Boss Huo's channels and finally arrived in South America.

At this time, customers in South America were very wealthy. During World War II, an upstart in the north had almost all the world's wealth. Coupled with the threat of Big Brother, benefits and wages were very good.

In addition to the reconstruction of Europe and so on, these freight merchants in South America are also very happy. All kinds of flour and various other things can be sent to one person for how much money.

Customers in South America used to install five four-cylinder high-speed marine propellers directly on a speedboat and charge directly to the beach of the nouveau riche in the north.

When the nouveau riche police arrived, there was nothing left. Although the nouveau riche had marine police on patrol, it was impossible to keep an eye on every place.

Some of these freight merchants in South America are also keeping an eye on the marine police and reporting the sailors' itineraries on the radio. This is more advanced than Boss Huo.

Moreover, these freight merchants in South America have various weapons in their hands.

Four six-cylinder high-speed marine propellers are configured on a speedboat. Boss Huo thoughtfully prepared detailed configurations, such as how many speedboats are configured and how fast they can run, how much cargo they can transport, etc.

The goods were loaded onto the speedboat. The bosses were watching with binoculars and saw that the speedboat seemed to be leaving the water.

"awesome."

"Yes, it's really a good product."

"Tsk, tsk, I want another five hundred."

"I want a thousand units."

"I also want eight hundred units."

When an agent with Ying heard these data, he applauded vigorously: "Gentlemen, you can ask for more. You must know that the output of this kind of thing is limited, and don't buy other people's fakes. You don't want to buy from Aramco." Is the front of the sailor’s patrol boat broken?”

Why is it that the people selling this stuff here are Daiying?
Because Dai Yingren is a regional agent, and Dai Yingren also remembered that Ami copied its own products in the past to seize its own market. It is impossible to win it back in one breath, and this marine propeller is from a regular manufacturer. What's the formal certificate?Don’t you, Ami, allow you to sell my products from Daying?
Moreover, many British families also have branches in Amei, so doing business is very convenient.

"John, can't you just sell it to Big Beautiful Official Thruster?"

"Yeah, we'll pay twice, no, three times the price."

"Why sell it to Da Meiliang? We have taken over your production capacity."

A group of South American businessmen began to complain again, including many local people from Ame.

"Everyone, this is just a bill. Believe me, it won't pass. In fact, I think they should buy those fakes."

"Shit. The little book that sold fake goods last time was buried in the desert by me and everyone, causing me to lose a lot of goods."

"Babu, you just like cheap things, including going to bars, and you just like those cheap aunties."

"Hahaha."

"Everyone, I hope you can provide us with information about selling fake goods. Our company takes fake goods very seriously. This is a crime."

"of course."

What Liu Hai didn't know was that there were fakes of marine high-speed propellers, and there were quite a few of them. Last time, buyers from South America didn't buy from the agent, but for some unknown reason, the batch of fakes they bought was running at high speed. Something went wrong, and the ship was rescued directly on the sea by Ami's marine police. Although the cargo was thrown off the ship in time, only part of the cargo was recovered later.

This South American buyer arrested the owner of the small company who sold the fake goods and his family, and demanded compensation. The other party didn't have that much money, so he took the person to the desert and buried him...

Finally, the agent was notified, and the Ami police also closed down the company selling fake goods. It turned out that it was a small book and a lawsuit was being filed.

Because of this kind of infringement, the Hong Kong head office only needs [-]% of the compensation, and the rest depends on how your lawyers and agents divide it.

Boss Huo doesn't ask for any amount of profit. Otherwise, believe it or not, after a lawsuit is won, apart from the lawyer's fees, the remaining amount will only be a few dollars?

In a case that costs hundreds of millions of dollars, I don’t know how much legal fees will be taken up...

In fact, the main purpose is to curb the counterfeit market. Otherwise, agents might directly buy fake goods and sell them. This kind of thing is not impossible. Businessmen are driven by profit.

------------------

On the Kyoto side, Liu Hai watched Li Dali and others return. Li Dali and others also complained that in the south, the language was not very fluent, the food was not used to it, it was humid, and there were many bugs and so on.

Li Dali also brought fruits such as star fruit and pineapple to Liu Hai.

Of course Liu Hai knew that he was not used to it the first time he went there, but he gradually got used to it. As for the food, it was a place with its own characteristics. If the food there was the same as before, it would be too oily and salty, and he would not be able to stand it for a long time. .

"Section Chief, it smells so good. What is this?" Several people came to the maintenance department and smelled a scent.

"This is a rice cooker. I heard that there are such small appliances in the notebook, so I made two of them myself." Liu Hai said with a smile.

The bangs of the inner tank are made of cast iron, which is of course safe and harmless. There is not much domestic production of aluminum alloy, and the coating is not safe, especially in the current working environment.

"You guys go back and rest for a few days. It's time to find a partner." Liu Hai gave a few people a holiday, after all, they have been on a business trip for so long.

"Section Chief, let's go back first."

Liu Hai estimates that these guys will get married after they go back. Marriage is so quick at this time. Today they agreed on the blind date, and tomorrow they will get the certificate and live together. There is no love or affection, and it is not a relationship that lasts for a long time.

"It smells so good." Xiaoyun didn't go to the canteen today, so Liu Hai said he would cook it here.

There are two rice cookers, one for cooking rice and one for cooking vegetables. It also has a steaming compartment. Inside the steaming compartment are steamed buns and the bottom dish is roasted chicken with dried beans.

"It's time to eat." Liu Hai got himself two wooden spoons, one for scooping rice and one for serving vegetables.

"Yeah, it's delicious." Xiaoyun took a mouthful of rice and felt it tasted better than the food in the cafeteria.

"That's good." Liu Hai nodded with a smile.The chicken was brought from the canteen, and the vegetables and seasonings were also brought from the same place. They were prepared in a pot to stew.

"It will definitely be more comfortable here than at home." After Xiaoyun finished eating, he rested for a while in the lounge next to the office. Bangs had a separate lounge there. He used to be a single man and could rest on the office bed. Yun is a woman after all.

"How about living here from now on?" Liu Hai said with a smile. There is also heating here.

"Forget it. It's comfortable here, but it doesn't feel like home. It's like staying in a hotel." Xiaoyun shook his head again, looking at the simple furnishings.

Liu Hai also nodded. This is a public place after all, so if you do it too well, others will say it.

"Do you want to sell this rice cooker?"

"This is for export, we may not sell it domestically." Liu Hai shook his head and said.

"It's a pity, I want to take one back to my mother to see." Xiaoyun shook his head and said.

Liu Hai said with a smile: "If your mother has money, just buy it. You can cook whatever you want."

"That's true, why do you need a wooden spoon for this?"

"because……."

In the afternoon, Liu Hai gave Zhu Haiyang some fruits brought by Li Dali to eat as a surprise. In the afternoon, he gave his master Yang Hehua two star fruits and took them back to her parents' house for a walk to give some to her mother-in-law.

After returning home, looking at the three pineapples and four star fruits left, Xiaoyun gave the second aunt a cut pineapple and a star fruit.

At night, Xiaoyun heard Liu Hai say that pineapples can be grown in water, so she got up and picked up the head of the pineapple, and then took it to Liu Hai's office to cultivate it in water tomorrow, which made Liu Hai dumbfounded.

"Xiao Yun is good." Second aunt said while she and second uncle were washing feet at Second Aunt's house.

"Well, I thought she looked like our young lady before, but I didn't expect that she is also active at work."

"Yes, Xiaohai is lucky, and I thought she was our lady."

"Xiao Qin, no one told me about the target?"

"No, after all, Lao Yi is the team leader now, and there are many apprentices in the factory. Although the relationship is not good, after all, the debt is still owed."

"Why don't you tell Xiao Qin and ask her to return it. Don't delay yourself. If not, let's lend her some."

"Well, you should talk to her about it, but Lao Yi is not right either. It's true that you can lend it to your apprentice with interest."

"Lao Yi has no children, so it's understandable that he takes money more seriously."

"That's true..."

As Liu Hai guessed, Li Dali and the others got married in a flash. It is said that they went on a blind date on the second day of the holiday, and then lived together on the third day.

"Director." Liu Haishun turned to the factory director's office.

"Xiao Liu, come on, sit down. Sit down, what do you want?"

"Li Dali and the others got married. Do you think they were given a house or something?" Liu Hai came here for this matter.

"Sure, we just built a batch of dormitories, just over the Liangma River. Everything there is complete, and it's a two-story building." Sun Aiguo said immediately when he heard this.

"Okay, thank you, director, I won't disturb you anymore." Liu Hai finished speaking and was about to leave, because he still had to wait for a work report.

"Motorcycles and sports cars, remember." Sun Aiguo said quickly.

"No problem." Liu Hai quickly agreed.

Returning to the maintenance department, Liu Hai told Li Dali and others about the matter. Those who were not married were envious, and those who were married were happy. Although it was over the Liangma River, it was still a factory area with complete supporting facilities, heating, bathhouses, and hospitals. , supply and marketing cooperatives, etc., are much better than large courtyards.

"For those of you who are not married, don't worry. I will find a way for you when the time comes."

"Thank you, Chief."

"Section Chief, don't you want to move over?"

"I have two houses, so there is no excuse, otherwise I would also like to live in a building."

"Pity."

"It's time to work." Liu Hai took out the design drawing of the water-cooled two-cylinder 250 motorcycle and gave it to Li Dali and others.

Li Dali and others went to work happily. Xiaoyun came here at noon and looked at a few pineapples grown in water. Xiaoyun has now fully adapted to the life in the factory. They go to work and get off work together, and sleep in on Sundays. .

After Liu Hai finished manufacturing the rice cooker, he instructed the factory to make a batch in small batches and prepare to send it to Hong Kong Island to test the water. The outer shell is made of stainless steel. Liu Hai originally planned to use aluminum alloy, but now aluminum alloy is more expensive than stainless steel, and stainless steel There are many advantages.

The domestic aluminum alloy quota is mainly occupied by high-speed marine propellers, otherwise it would not be so tight.

Liu Hai also manufactures washing machines, starting with the compression molding machine because the internal drum of the washing machine requires plastic. Of course, stainless steel will also work, but there are many problems with this large stainless steel, its weight, and the manufacturing process.

In addition, when large chemical companies rise in the future, plastic prices will fall.

Of course it's the semi-automatic kind, and the fully automatic one will come later.

A washing bucket and a dehydrating bucket. Even in modern times, many people still prefer semi-automatic ones, saying that the washing is cleaner.

In the winter in Kyoto, it is very cold outside, but inside the maintenance department, it is as warm as spring, and Xiaoyun carefully takes care of several hydroponic pineapples.

In the British Parliament, a member was holding a document and swearing.

------------

"You idiots should all be sent to Lanzhou to grow potatoes. You spent so much taxpayer money and ended up with something like this. Please take a look. This is a patent application that was published four months ago. And this one is a review document recently submitted by the Navy." The congressman held two documents.

Then other copied files were distributed.

Everyone looked at two documents. The first was a patent application for an electric fan from a company in Hong Kong, and the other was an audit report from the Navy.

The design drawings all look like fans with five blades, but one is a submarine propeller and the other is a fan blade.

"And I also tell you a piece of desperate and angry news, that is, this design that cost taxpayers a lot of money is not as good as this electric fan. I have asked a professor in Cambridge to calculate the patent for this electric fan. The design is better than that of the pigs in our Navy department, yes, and I also bought an electric fan like this." The congressman started to spray again.
