Feng Yu rushed back to Bing City after the tenth day of the New Year. It was not because he was bored at home. It was because Li Shiyou had called Hou Haitao to ask him to come back. It was because Hou Haitao had told him that the first bladeless fan was successfully manufactured!
Feng Yu was so excited that he jumped up. This bladeless fan will be another golden goose for Tai Hua Trading. Even if the sales will not be as high as the humidifiers, but the selling price will be higher. The profits will be higher than the plastic electric fans, and it will be stable. He can also export it to the foreigners. After he registered the patent, he does not need to worry about others copying him.
At this time, the air conditioners were still limited, and the prices were still high. Also, the air conditioner was noisy and dripping water. It also took up a lot of space.
An air conditioner cost a few thousand RMB, and the installation cost was a few thousand RMB. Furthermore, it was a power hog. Other than the government, very few people bought it. It was not that they could not afford it. It was because of the restriction of electricity in the residential areas. In most places, once the air conditioner is switched on, the fuse will be blown!
Electric fans were different. They were still the mainstream cooling appliances in the world and will continue to be this way for a few years. Feng Yu's bladeless fan was targeted at the rich. It was similar to the humidifiers, but it was more advanced than the humidifiers. Also, the overseas market should be good. Many rich people in Europe and the US like high-tech products. As long as they like it, money is not a problem!
After informing his parents, Feng Yu left early. When he reached Bing City, Feng Yu did not even return home. He went straight to the Aviation Factory.
Li Shiyou was already there. He was sitting in Hou Haitao's office drinking tea. Anyway, the Motor Factory wanted to be an OEM, and they will make money no matter how much they produce.
Furthermore, there was another piece of good news this year. They had gotten 3/5 of the orders for the Three Gorges Dam generators. With this alone, the Motor Factory will be profitable for the next few years.
Also, because of the Three Gorges Dam's scale and special status, the Motor Factory's reputation will increase. Maybe the Motor Factory will become China's biggest generator manufacturer. Maybe in a few years, it will become Asia's biggest generator manufacturer?
Li Shiyou's contribution was to turn a company that could not make ends meet two years ago into a thriving company. Maybe in another two years, he will have the opportunity to move up.
When Li Shiyou saw Feng Yu, he smiled and said Happy New Year. Feng Yu chatted with the two of them for a while, then hurriedly asked where the prototype was and for him to take it out for a look.
"Hahaha, don't worry, someone went to get it. Now sit down and have a cup of hot tea. I've seen it. The wind is really strong, and it's more comfortable than those electric fans with blades. What's wrong with your brain? There are so many university students in our factory, but none of them can think of this! "Hou Haitao pretended to sigh.
Feng Yu sat on the sofa and said, "It's all luck, luck." But his expression clearly showed that he was a genius!
Li Shiyou laughed, "Director Hou, don't praise him, because no matter how much you praise him, he won't give you a single cent more. Sometimes this kid is very generous, but sometimes he's extremely stingy! "
As the three of them were chatting, Hou Haitao's secretary directed two people to carry a big thing in and put it on the ground with a clang.
Feng Yu's eyes opened wide. This big thing was the "successfully developed" bladeless fan by the Aviation Factory? This damn thing was bigger than what he expected, and why was it made of metal? It weighed at least 50 kg. Whose electric fan was so heavy? Didn't they agree to use plastic?
Feng Yu was going crazy. Why did they call him over for this? Which idiot would be willing to buy this stupid thing? If this thing was introduced to the market, Wind and rain electric appliances and Tai Hua Trading would become the laughing stock of the whole nation!
"Director Hou, this is the prototype that you told me about?" Feng Yu turned to Hou Haitao and emphasized the word "successful". How dare he claim that this broken thing was a success and spent so much money on it?
Damn. Seems like he had to have a talk with Hou Haitao. Feng Yu was willing to pay for the research and development, but it does not mean that he was willing to be a fool!
Hou Haitao paused for a while and then laughed loudly: "You are talking about this? If it is really this thing, do you think I will call you over? This is the initial model made of metal according to the principles you mentioned. Look, the one in Xiao Liu's hand is the prototype you want! "
Feng Yu turned to look and sighed in relief.
Secretary Liu was holding something about 80 cm tall. From the looks of it, it was 80% similar to the bladeless fans he had seen in his previous life. But the base was too ugly and needs to be redesigned. The fan head was exactly the same as the bladeless fans he had seen in his previous life!
"That big thing at the side is for you to compare. I don't want you to think that we are using the research and development funds recklessly."
Feng Yu smiled: "Director Hou, this is not the first time we have worked together. How can I not trust you? I was just joking. Can't you tell? "
Feng Yu thought. You dare to say that you did not misreport the research and development funds? But never mind. Even if it was a false report, it was still less than those foreign researchers. Also, Feng Yu still wanted to maintain a good relationship with Hou Haitao. He does not care about all these.
"Ok. Let's not talk about other things. Let's see the effect."
Hou Haitao waved his hand, and Secretary Liu switched on the fan.
Feng Yu stood in front of the fan and slowly moved back. When he was 3 meters away, he could still feel the wind. Also, the wind from the fan was more stable and comfortable. It felt like natural wind.
"How is the safety?" Feng Yu looked at Secretary Liu.
Secretary Liu didn't say anything. He just put his hand into the ring-shaped fan and touched the inside of the fan.
Feng Yu nodded. No leakage of electricity, no injuries. It was safer than plastic fans.
"What about the power consumption?"
"60 Watts!" Secretary Liu said proudly.
Currently, the power of the plastic electric fans on the market was around 30 to 40 watts. The bladeless fan developed by their factory, which was driven by an electric motor, was only 60 watts. It was much more efficient than the old 100 watt electric fans.
Feng Yu was not satisfied. He turned to Hou Haitao and asked: "Can the power of the motor be reduced? Can the air be compressed? "
"Yes. But we still need to experiment, and there might be some R&D fees." Hou Haitao smiled and looked at Feng Yu. His meaning was obvious. If you pay, we will continue to research.
Feng Yu remembered that the bladeless fans in his previous life were around 40 Watts, and it was very efficient. 60 Watts was fine, but it could be improved. Of course, he still wanted to try. Saving on electricity was also a selling point. But he still wanted to see how much Hou Haitao wanted for R&D fees. If it was too much, Feng Yu would rather give up.
"Let's research on this later. Have you tested the service life? We don't want it to break after 2 days!"
"We are still experimenting on this. I just want to show you the results. Didn't you say that the exterior needs to be adjusted?" Hou Haitao nodded. He knew about this. If the product was a defective product and was introduced to the market, the Aviation Factory would have to bear full responsibility. The compensation would not be a small amount.
"Ok. I will get my men to design the exterior, and you carry on with the experiments. Once the exterior design is completed, we will apply for the patent. After the experiments are completed, we can start production. We will not delay the summer sales! "
