If Guan Meiren was here, she would be happy to swipe his credit card when she heard Li Xuan open his purse so generously. Because she knows that whether she spends 10,000 yuan or 1 million, in Li Xuan's eyes, it is actually the same.

But He Qing obviously hadn't learned how to spend a man's money, and the little self-esteem in her heart made her reluctant to take advantage of Li Xuan. So the two of them wandered aimlessly in the hypermarket. There are all kinds of goods here, ranging from TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and other household appliances to electric shavers, hair dryers, juicers and other household appliances. .

It was the first time for He Qing to come to such a large-scale electrical appliance store. She was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of products. She had a novel experience like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. But for Li Xuan, this scene naturally didn't make him any curiosity.

Just as Li Xuan was walking around with He Qing, a few young people walked into the store holding a circular object.

"Hello, I'm Yang Xinliang, a student of Chinese University. I made an appointment with the store manager of your store before. I want to do an invention exhibition in your store!" A boy with glasses and pale skin, He walked to the shopping guide and said.

"Please wait a moment, I'll call the store manager to confirm!" The shopping guide at the front desk said very politely.

She picked up the phone and dialed a number. After a few words of communication, she hung up the phone and said with a sweet smile to Yang Xinliang, "Hello, Mr. Yang, I have confirmed with the store manager. We do demonstrations in the store.”

After she finished speaking, she beckoned, called another male shopping guide, and then told her colleagues a few words. Let the other party help Yang Xinliang and the others to find an empty space.

The escalator connecting the first floor and the basement is a densely populated area. Yang Xinliang and two classmates. At the suggestion of the male shopping guide, the area in front of the escalator was selected.

"Can you help me find a live outlet?" Yang Xinliang asked the male shopping guide again.

"It's here!" The male shopping guide pointed to a column next to him. Then lift a switch box to reveal the socket jack inside.

Only then did Yang Xinliang notice that there was a fixed socket on the pillar less than one meter away from him, so he smiled a little embarrassedly. Who made the decoration in the store very delicate, the appearance of the socket box is completely integrated with the color of the wall of the column, and it is embedded in the wall, so you won't notice it if you don't look carefully.

"What are you going to use for this big ring-like thing?" The male shopping guide did not leave immediately, but asked very curiously.

"This is our newly invented fanless fan!" Yang Xinliang said proudly.

"Is this an electric fan?" The shopping guide couldn't help but "Huh". Then he said in disbelief.

Yang Xinliang was not in a hurry to explain to the other party, but checked the plug of this strange electric fan into the socket, and the machine immediately made a buzzing sound. The two classmates who came with Yang Xinliang had already set up a poster stand, and some posters they had made in advance to introduce their inventions were hung on the stand.

The machine they brought, the lower part is a cylindrical base with a height of 30 to 40 centimeters, and the upper part is a large ring with a diameter of about ten inches, which looks far from the electric fan in everyone's impression .

Several passing customers were quickly attracted by this strange-looking thing and stopped. And the original curious shopping guide. Then he couldn't wait to put his hand in front of the ring, and he felt a cool breeze.

It's incredible, there isn't a single fan blade on the machine, just a big ring with empty sides on both sides. The wind was actually generated out of thin air. There were more and more people watching, and everyone was amazed at this special electric fan.

Yang Xinliang saw that the crowd was almost there, and finally opened his mouth to explain his invention: "Hello everyone. We are students from the Chinese University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, my name is Yang Xinliang! I will bring you an interesting new invention today. This is the fanless fan you see now. In fact, we have given it another more professional name, called Air Multiplier.

The reason why this machine can generate cool air without fan blades. The principle of the jet pump is used. It uses the annular slit design of this ring opening to generate a high-speed moving air jet through the Coanda effect, thus forming the wind that we can feel. "

Yang Xinliang's explanation of a bunch of professional principles may not be understood by a few people at the scene, but it made everyone feel a lofty aura. A group of college students who have designed things using various advanced scientific principles are naturally completely different from ordinary electric fans.

In Hong Kong in the 1980s, like mainland China, college students were all precious and rare species, and being admitted to a university meant getting a stepping stone to the upper class. After more than ten years, with a large number of post-secondary institutions being upgraded to universities by the Hong Kong government, the value of college students in Hong Kong quickly began to depreciate.

"The electric fan we designed has many advantages compared to traditional electric fans. Because it has no fan blades, if there are children at home, you don't have to worry about their fingers being injured by the fan blades because they are curious and casually touched. What a tragedy!" Yang Xinliang said as he personally stretched his hand back and forth through the ring, showing that his invention had no safety issues.

Then he added, "And our fans are easier to clean. You just wipe the ring from the inside out with a rag, and it's done in a few seconds.

However, after a few months of use of the commonly used electric fans on the market, a lot of dust will accumulate on the outer fan cover and the inner fan blades. It is very troublesome to clean the electric fan, and the fan cover must be removed first! "

"This classmate, how do you sell electric fans like this?" There were already impatient customers, and they couldn't wait to ask the price.

"Abo, I'm very sorry, our fan has just been invented, and we haven't had time to rush into production! The reason why I came to the store to show it today is to understand everyone's reaction to this new fan. If everyone can accept it .We will hurry up and try to go on sale as soon as possible!" Yang Xinliang explained with a smile.

"Young baby. It's too late for your invention! More than half of this summer has passed, waiting for your electric fans to be produced. It is estimated that they will be stored in the warehouse and sold next year!" A customer joked with a smile road.

"Your electric fans are very interesting. Whether it's on the market this year or next year, I want to buy one back! But your price can't be too expensive. Tell me what price you're going to sell?" Another customer asked.

"Our electric fan uses a brushless motor, which is much more expensive than ordinary electric fans. And the material used in our ring is not cheap. So its price must be more expensive than ordinary electric fans. !

We have brought a questionnaire today, and I hope you can take a few minutes to help fill out some of it. It is convenient for us to collect your feedback and then make better improvements! "Yang Xinliang did not answer directly, but started to distribute questionnaires with several classmates.

He never thought his product would go on sale this year. Because these products are only the first generation products. There will definitely be further improvements in the future. As for the price of this new electric fan, it actually gave Yang Xinliang a headache.

The sample he trial-produced, the final approved manufacturing cost has exceeded 800 Hong Kong dollars. The cheapest small electric fans on the market in Hong Kong are only 20 to 30 yuan, and even the multi-functional luxury models are only 100 to 200 yuan. Although the manufacturing cost of new fans will definitely drop a lot after large-scale production, it will still be much higher than that of ordinary electric fans.

Of course, this is not the problem that Yang Xinliang needs to solve the most right now, the most important thing for him right now. Is to quickly find a new round of venture capital for their projects. When he first started this project, the 50,000 Hong Kong dollars in venture capital that he had flicked into has almost been spent.

Fortunately, before the money was completely spent, Yang Xinliang successfully took out the product he wanted. What he needs to do next. Bring your new invention to convince new investors to join in. The enthusiastic feedback on his invention from the customers who came to the store today is bound to become an important weight for Yang Xinliang to persuade angel investors.

And Yang Xinliang was explaining his own fanless fan. Li Xuan just happened to pass the escalator entrance with the beautiful woman in his arms, and saw such a novel scene. Naturally, the two of them also decided to smell the fragrance and dismount, and stopped to watch.

The appearance of Li Xuan brought the greatest change to Hong Kong. It has created a booming entrepreneurial trend for the city. Inspired by his example, countless people with dreams are no longer satisfied with the ordinary life of 9 to 5, but have chosen another magnificent road of self-struggle.

What is even more satisfying is that Hong Kong is being called by more and more people as the Silicon Valley of the East, and has become another holy place in the hearts of young entrepreneurs. Hong Kong is also gradually becoming more and more attractive to entrepreneurs from other parts of Asia. Many entrepreneurs from Japan, Taiwan-Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and other places have come here with their good sons.

Li Xuan has always believed that Silicon Valley can achieve great success, and the biggest driver is actually venture capital. So he has been working hard to guide local capital in Hong Kong into the venture capital field.

In the past few years, the social turmoil in Hong Kong, the stock market and the real estate industry, which attracted the most money, suffered heavy losses. As a result, a large amount of safe-haven capital was guided by the Oriental Group into the entity manufacturing industry, which is dominated by the electronics industry.

But capital is always profit-seeking. If they can't get enough returns, even if Li Xuan, the richest man in the world, comes forward to lobby, their position will not be shaken. While the stock market and real estate both collapsed, the Hong Kong electronics industry was driven by the leading carriage of the Oriental Group.

Many capitals that tasted the sweetness soon began to really stop to join this new gluttonous feast, so Hong Kong's venture capital funds quickly grew like a snowball. At this critical time, Li Xuan did not close the door to eat alone. His Oriental Incubation Park launched a series of good projects in a timely manner.

Since last year, the first batch of high-quality companies that have accepted venture capital have already started their own plans. The entire venture capital industry chain has finally formed a complete closed loop of profit from investment to exit. Stimulated by one successful case after another, the venture capital industry in Hong Kong is also growing stronger and stronger.

The biggest impact of this is that the threshold for entrepreneurship in Hong Kong society is further lowered. Since the reputation of the Oriental Incubation Park has risen, the Shatin Industrial Zone where it is located has opened several more technology incubators in just a few years. Even the Hong Kong government invested in the acquisition of two idle industrial buildings and built the first officially funded technology incubator in Hong Kong, which was entrusted to a joint committee composed of the University of Hong Kong and CUHK.

This fanless fan project by Yang Xinliang was actually inspired by the hand dryer in the restroom of the restaurant. After he had this idea, he contacted two students majoring in mechanics and came up with a complete design plan together.

Then Yang Xinliang and the others found the professor of the school with their own plan, and finally got the opportunity to interview the project manager of the Oriental Venture Fund through the official recommendation of CUHK.

In fact, their project only received an investment quota of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars from the Oriental Venture Fund. However, Yang Xinliang quickly got 30,000 yuan of investment funds with the help of Dongfang Venture Capital's tiger skin and his own three-inch tongue.

Oriental Venture Capital invests in projects like Yang Xinliang every year. In fact, there are hundreds of them, and only a few of them can succeed in the end. But if luck is not too bad, just one successful project ~www.readwn.com~ is enough to recoup the full investment.

Li Xuan also took a questionnaire handed over by Yang Xinliang. There are more than a dozen questions on it, including customers' opinions on this new fanless fan, the highest price affordability and other issues. Li Xuan filled in according to the facts, and wrote his own opinions in the final feedback.

The function of this fanless fan is not much different from ordinary products on the market. Its biggest selling point is the novel shape and principle. So it is destined to be a relatively niche thing and may be sought after by the fashionable family, but unfortunately its current design is not cool enough!

After Li Xuan filled out the questionnaire, he encouraged the young man in front of him with a smile. An electric fan seems to have nothing to do with Li Xuan and Dongfang Group, but it is not.

For example, the brushless motor used in this fanless fan has a matching controller inside. The core of the controller is a main control chip, which is actually deeply related to the semiconductor industry, one of the main businesses of the Oriental Group.

Therefore, these continuous innovations may appear to have little to do with the Oriental Group, but they are actually providing new nourishment for the development and growth of the Oriental Group. (To be continued..)
