Chapter 107: Humidifiers

"Manager Liu, don't we have a humidifier in our first department store?" Feng Yu sat in the office of the manager of the First Department Store, looking surprised.

In the past few days, he felt that the air was too dry and wanted to buy a humidifier, but he didn't expect the first department store to have it.

"Humidifiers? What haven't I heard of? Manager Liu looked surprised.

Haven't heard of it? Feng Yu blinked his eyes, hasn't the humidifier been invented yet? No, I remember it for a long time. It must also be used as an industry, for conversion into civilian use.

That's great, and the humidifier should make him a lot of money.

"Manager Liu, don't you think your office is a little too dry, if the air is more humid, will it be more comfortable?"

"What's the solution, can't you still sprinkle water on the ground, how dirty."

Feng Yu smiled and didn't say much. I talked to Manager Liu about pork again, and Manager Liu also agreed, if there was pork a year ago, their first department store would cost 2,000 catties.

Leaving from the First Department Store, Feng Yu turned around and returned to the motor factory.

"Why, Mr. Feng's pork hasn't been sold? How many pounds do you have, if you have a few thousand catties, we can buy it and give it to the workers in the front-line workshop. Li Shiyou thought that Feng Yu was still here to sell pork, so he should give Feng Yu a face.

Last time, Feng Yu was bullied by Song Laosi's people, but they didn't come forward, or the advanced equipment of the Soviet Union could get the machinery factory?

"Director Li, I'm not here to sell pork, the pork has been sold out, and the machinery company wants it all. I have an idea and would like to ask if the motor factory can help make it happen. ”

As soon as Feng Yu said this, Li Shiyou immediately became interested, and cooperated with Feng Yu, and the motor factory never lost money.

"What do you think, the strength of our factory is also good in the country, especially in terms of motors, which is leading in the country."

Feng Yu waved his hand: "Director Li, it's not too difficult, I just want to make a humidifier." To put it simply, it is to use a heating rod to turn water into water vapor and change the humidity of the air in the room. ”

"Changing the humidity of the indoor air?"

"Well, don't you think your office is a little dry? This is the case in our northern winter, the slightest carelessness can easily cause respiratory infections, and gasping for breath is on fire. Feng Yu continued to induce.

"The one you said, I'll just put an electric kettle in the office."

Rub, it can still be like this!

"Do you think an office discharge kettle is appropriate? This humidifier is going to be made of plastic or glass, transparent, beautiful, and can be patterned on it. Moreover, the use of a humidifier can effectively prevent colds. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, you can find out if you try. The humidifier is so big, just have a heating rod inside......" Feng Yu began to describe the appearance of the humidifier to Li Shiyou.

"Wait a minute, I'll call a few people in." Li Shiyou asked the secretary to call a few engineers and asked them to listen to Feng Yu's thoughts in order to know how much a humidifier would cost.

"Mr. Feng, if you use glass, then you have to make high-temperature resistant glass, the cost is not low, and the glass is fragile, not very convenient to transport, right? If you use plastic, you also need to make high-temperature resistant plastic, which is also not cheap. The heating rod is not expensive, the principle is very simple, we have absolutely no problem making it, I don't know how much processing fee Mr. Feng plans to give us for this humidifier? A workshop director asked.

"How much do you want?"

Several people looked left and right, lowered their heads and discussed, but the workshop director spoke: "Thirty." We need to make a little change to the existing equipment, and it is more cumbersome to assemble, and you can't order less than 5,000 units. ”

The OEM will cost thirty, and the cost of materials will be more than a dozen, and the price is higher than Feng Yu imagined. However, Feng Yu believes that he can still sell 5,000 units, but he can't do it, he can export them to the Soviet Union and pick up the tattered ones...... No, it's the guy who likes novelties and will definitely not refuse.

"If you want plastic, there are two models, let's produce 5,000 units each, and it's no problem to give you a deposit of 30,000 yuan, how long will it take to complete production?"

"The mold has to be rebuilt, and we don't have to worry about the efficiency here, mainly in the plastic factory, and it will take about ten days."

"Okay, then ten days, Director Li, let's sign the contract, right?"

The next morning, Feng Yu came to the motor factory again, the prototype was produced, Feng Yu took a look, there was no pattern on the plastic, his eyes were very monotonous, and it could even be said to be ugly, this kind of thing, who wants to put it on the table.

"Director Li, these two pieces are separated, one is made white, the other is blue, this place should be transparent, this place must have a pattern on it, this position must have our wind and rain trademark pattern, this piece must be printed with handwriting, and there must be no leakage, and it must be convenient to replace water......"

Feng Yu proposed a lot of improvements to the prototype, and several engineers at the motor factory took notes and wrote them down. Anyway, the main thing is the change on the plastic shell, these costs are not borne by them, Feng Yu can change it as much as he wants.

"That's it, ten days later, I'll pick up the goods, if it's done, maybe we can do this for a long time."

Electric humidifiers are easy to imitate, but what about ultrasonic humidifiers? Large state-owned enterprises can solve the process problem of ultrasonic, but some small factories absolutely do not have this strength. However, if Feng Yu is not mistaken, the humidifier giant invested by the state should have begun to produce industrial humidifiers, and the civilian ones will not be launched until 90.

is a year ahead, if you can't occupy the market, it can only prove that Feng Yu is indeed not this material.

Rushed to the newspaper office to replace tomorrow's advertisement. The advertisements for soybean oil and sugar have been done for so long, and everyone has remembered the Taihua brand, and then let everyone recall the wind and rain brand.

On the first day of the advertisement, there was only a picture the size of a flower pot, and many people couldn't understand what it was. It looks like plastic, but the pattern is pretty beautiful.

The next day, a small advertorial was added to promote the disadvantages of dry air, such as easy to cause colds, respiratory infections or something.

On the third day, he speaks of the benefits of moist air to the human body.

On the fourth day, it was accompanied by a few big words: wind and rain electrical appliances, a blockbuster return!

The effect of this sentence is even better than the previous advertorial. Everyone is curious, isn't Fengyu Electric Appliance the one who makes electric fans? The boss of this company has a hole in his brain, in the winter, selling electric fans?

Wind and rain electrical appliances have become a joke after dinner today, and when they go to work the next day, many people are still talking. But there are some people who have a heart, Lenovo newspaper advertisement two days ago, guessing that the wind and rain electrical appliances launched this time is definitely not an electric fan, but related to the mediation of air humidity.

"Wind and rain humidifier, a good companion indoors."

This advertising slogan occupied the entire newspaper page for five whole days, and it was impossible to see it. And people's curiosity has also been aroused, humidifiers, is it to add humidity to the air? Does this thing work? Where are they sold?

PS1: The first humidifier in China is Yadu, which currently occupies 70% of the domestic market share, but at the beginning the main research direction is industrial humidifiers, which belong to the Ministry of Science and Technology ~ and the company in Beijing, 90 years before the launch of the household type, and later the joint-stock system transformation, and was taken advantage of by foreign capital!
