Chapter 125 Children's Car (Catching Bugs) The first finished car is Yan Jiu...
Chapter 125 Children's Car Project (Catching Bugs)
That night, the three cubs were taken away by their father and left to their grandmother while struggling and protesting.
Yan Jiuru packed up their water bottles, milk powder, diapers and other things in a bag and threw that over as well.
Before leaving, he threatened: "You three, no one is allowed to cause trouble for grandma at night. If anyone wets the kang, hmph, I will let your aunt and uncle spread the word in the alley..."
"Also, don't try to sabotage me! Anyone who dares to disturb Mom and Dad's nighttime rest will never sleep with Mom again!"
This is a huge threat to the baby!
The two little ones didn’t know how to react (or maybe they didn’t understand?).
Zhuangzhuang was older after all, so he crawled out naked from the bed that grandma had made. While he was looking for a urinal to empty, he made a deal with his dad: "I'll sleep well, and can you buy me a frog tomorrow? It has to be one that can jump..."
The old man’s house is very warm, so the little kids sleep naked, otherwise their clothes will be wet.
Seeing his son's oblivious bird-walking behavior, Yan Jiuru suddenly had a malicious thought and said, "How about this, if you behave well, Daddy will take a photo of you right now, in color. We can put together a roll tomorrow and develop it. It will look really nice."
Yan Jiuru came back and rummaged through the drawers.
After Chen Yin asked this question, she said angrily, "Be careful, they'll get angry with you when they grow up."
Yan Jiuru waved the Agfa in his hand and said, "Growing up? It's still too early."
Kids, if you don’t have fun now while you are young, when will you have fun?
The ignorant child, under the command of his unscrupulous father, posed for various photos with his naked butt. Zhuangzhuang even wore a pillowcase and posed with a golden cudgel.
Yujing is a girl, ahem, her father was at least considerate and only took two photos without revealing anything. However, the little brat didn’t know what was good for her and actually stepped into the camera herself. . . . .
Forget it, every kid has a couple of naked photos anyway.
There is no gender distinction for babies.
***
"Are you done?" Chen Yin couldn't help but shake her head when she saw her husband coming back with a smirk on his face.
Yan Jiuru put away the camera and said with a smile: "Are you done packing? Let's go to bed early tonight."
He glanced at his daughter-in-law's rosy cheeks, suppressed his impulse, and went to check the door inside and out.
In the backyard, I happened to see my two younger brothers checking with flashlights.
He patted his brothers' shoulders and said with relief, "Good, it works now! From now on, I'll leave the door to the house before bedtime to you two!"
Taking on some responsibilities at the right time will help boys grow better and become more responsible and capable of taking on responsibilities.
After receiving some encouragement, he went back, took a quick shower, and got on the bed in a hurry.
There have been so many messy things happening at home lately, which has disrupted his happy life.
He looked at Chen Yin who was still kneeling there, tidying something slowly. He stretched out his long arm, hooked her into his arms, and pulled the lamp cord.
"What's the rush? You should at least take care of me first."
In the darkness, Chen Yin gave him a light kick: "What nonsense are you talking about."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Feel it yourself," someone said aggrievedly, grabbing his wife's hand and pressing it down. "See, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Chen Yin's hand felt like it was burned. After all, they were a young couple, and the spark was enough to ignite things.
"You're not going to wear a condom?"
"What's the point of wearing that thing if there's a layer of insulation?" He was very clean.
Yan Jiuru was busy tearing off his wife's clothes. He took a moment to reply and the next moment covered his wife's mouth.
What else can you say at this time?
Just do it!
Perhaps because they hadn't been intimate for a few days, the two of them tossed and turned several times that night.
Chen Yin was able to fight him on equal terms in the first two rounds, but she was completely limp the third time, and could only let him toss around without any ability to fight back...
Seeing that Chen Yin was restraining herself from making a sound, Yan Jiuru coaxed her, "Good Yinyin, it's okay to scream. I promise no one will hear you."
"Well, scream out, brother will give you better~"
Bah! Men's mouths are full of lies! Chen Yin fell asleep with only this thought in her mind.
***
A night of wind and rain brings spring.
Although woken up by the two little kids picking their noses and eyes in the morning, Chen Yin was still in a good mood.
She glanced down at her body and found that she had put on pajamas without realizing it, and the bedding was no longer the same as before she went to bed.
Chen Yin couldn't help but laugh. Men are always very diligent in this matter and don't need to be told anything.
"Well, well, well, well..." The two little ones saw that their mother opened her eyes and ignored them, and they were so anxious that they almost called out "Mom".
"Whoever of you calls mom first will get to eat milk first!"
For six-month-old babies, most of their pronunciations are unconscious, and no matter how anxious they are, they still cannot say "Mom".
Chen Yin didn't expect this, so she got up, tidied herself up, wiped the milk with a warm towel, and then fed the two little ones.
Now she feeds them herself twice a day, in the morning and at night, and they drink from bottles at other times.
The two little ones made a fuss at first, but then they gradually accepted it.
***
There are still three days until school starts.
While eating breakfast, Yan Jiuru looked at everyone and asked, "What are your plans for today?"
Ruyue raised her hand first to answer: "I have to go buy notebooks and pens, as well as erasers, compasses, triangles and other things."
"I bought ink and notebook pens, and I also want to buy a pair of ice skates..." He glanced at his elder brother.
Sure enough, the eldest brother knocked on the table and said, "Everything else is fine, but no one is allowed to go on the ice. Do you hear me?"
"Did I mention that the capital is warmer than my hometown? The ice may look the same now, but the ground beneath it has actually thawed.
Every year, a few people don’t fall into the ice hole.
Don’t make me say it a third time!”
"Oh. I see." Rusong dared to talk back to his father, but he didn't dare to talk to his elder brother at all.
Yan Jiuru looked at his second brother.
The same goes for Rushan. In addition, he is taking the college entrance examination this year and has to go to the bookstore to find some new review materials.
My younger brothers and sisters have grown up and no longer like to go out shopping with their parents. They just take the money and go out with their friends.
Yan Jiuru and Chen Yin also need to make some preparations for the start of school.
The two of them left the two ignorant kids at home and took Zhuangzhuang out shopping.
***
The temperature in Yancheng was still below zero in February, and pedestrians on the street were still wrapped up tightly, but even a careful person like Chen Yin could still notice something was different.
Among the numerous blue cotton-padded jackets and green military coats, there are scattered red, yellow and black down jackets!
Seeing Chen Yin's eyes attracted by a girl in a red down jacket, Yan Jiuru said, "Down jacket? The institute has arranged an overseas mission in a while, and I'll buy you one when I see one."
He had seen this kind of down jacket when he went abroad with the purchasing team later, but the bulging shape of it did not suit his aesthetic taste, so he did not buy it. Now that he saw that Chen Yin seemed to like it, he hurriedly arranged it for her.
Chen Yin glanced at him lightly: "I just want to see something new."
Is she the kind of person who wants everything she sees?!
However, "Have you noticed? It's only been the Lunar New Year, and the streets seem to have changed a lot."
Yes, all the messy slogans and messages have been cleared away and replaced with bright red flags, and the people sweeping the streets are all honest sanitation workers, not criminals or government officials.
The sky is clear and bright.
The two of them strolled around the Xinhua Bookstore.
The counter selling various badges and portraits, which was originally the busiest, was not crowded today. The few people there were obviously from other places buying souvenirs.
Neither of them was a child, so they could naturally see the signal.
The wheel of history rolls on, the general trend is unstoppable, and they just follow it.
***
The two bought picture books and picture albums for Zhuangzhuang and went to a nearby department store.
There are quietly more down jackets on the clothing counter, and there are many colors, including red, yellow, sky blue, brown, gray and black.
Chen Yin went forward to take a look and asked, "Comrade, how much is this dress?"
The waiter was originally dozing off out of boredom.
This dress is so expensive that I haven’t sold a single one in half a day.
What is said above is good, there will be a bonus commission for each item sold, but it is too expensive.
There are many customers coming, but none of them say a word when asked.
However, as soon as she took a look at the watch on the woman's wrist, she immediately became interested. It was an imported product!
They cost eight or nine hundred yuan at the Friendship Store!
"168 yuan, you can try it."
This is not possible at other counters.
Yan Jiuru hugged Zhuangzhuang and said, "Then go and try it. If you like it, buy it."
Oh, waiters love customers like this the most.
It’s great to have money!
"Then give it a try." The money the man earns is also hers. She should spend it as she sees fit. It's not like she doesn't earn a penny.
***
The down jackets are all mid-length, and Chen Yin tried red and sky blue.
Yan Jiuru pointed at the red and nodded, "Both look good, but the red makes you look more healthy."
Chen Yin nodded, "Yeah, it's good, warm, and much lighter than a military coat."
In fact, each has its advantages and disadvantages. Military coats are more windproof, but they become too heavy if worn for a long time.
The waiter stared at Yan Jiuru's pocket.
Yan Jiuru coughed lightly and turned away.
What are you looking at him for? He only has a few dozen dollars in his wallet.
Chen Yin couldn't help but smile.
She asked her husband, "There are men's models. Would you like to try them too?"
Yan Jiuru refused repeatedly and wanted to run away.
Chen Yin could see that he was unhappy.
Forget it, I won’t force it.
However, Chen Yin bought a gray one considering her mother-in-law.
"It's for my mother. It's just right for her age."
My mother-in-law is only in her early forties, and she actually dresses well, otherwise she wouldn't have given birth to a son with Yan Jiuru's looks.
It’s just that she was poor when she lived in the countryside, and she couldn’t bear to buy it even though she had the means now. Chen Yin occasionally bought her a couple of pieces.
Yan Jiuru naturally had nothing to say.
Chen Yin took out her wallet and paid.
The waiter looked at her in surprise as she pulled out a few brand new twenty- and fifty-yuan bills and was reluctant to put them in the clip.
This is the latest issue from the New Year. Only a small amount is in circulation, so most people can’t get it. I was wondering if I could replace it with the new money. . . . .
***
While buying the frog toy, Chen Yin asked, "By the way, how's your factory doing?"
"I'm still in the application process. I don't know how it will be approved in the end. I'll ask later."
The extraction technology he developed now has seven international patents, and more than a dozen are undergoing review procedures.
This thing is actually a variant of the same technology, meaning that materials of different properties must be applied for separately, which is a bit cumbersome for him.
But the rules are set by others, and if they want to enter the international market they have to follow their rules.
The steel or other mineral raw materials refined using his technology are not only of high purity and excellent performance, but also light, tough, strong, durable and safe.
He didn't want to waste such good materials, especially the large amount of leftover sample materials generated during the research process, or let them go cheaply to others.
He applied for all of these and the expenses were paid from his own funds.
However, he did give some thought to what to do with the materials.
Finally, he thought of a Faraday children's car produced in the 1950s that he had seen at the trade fair in the Hesse Bar.
***
It was a convertible children's car.
The car has a bright red fiberglass body, and the tires and wheels are all genuine Pirelli miniature versions. It has a convertible style, a safety glass windshield in the front, a steering wheel, a pull-rod forward and reverse function, a handbrake, and front and rear lighting systems.
Don’t underestimate this small toy car, it is actually drivable.
Of course, in order to achieve true drivability, the manufacturing process naturally includes a number of advanced car-making technologies.
First of all, the car body must be strong and safe, and the chassis must be stable and anti-rollover, and detailed experimental data must be obtained for these.
The most critical ones are the power output system, transmission system, function control module, and lighting.
The power output currently still uses electric drive, using dry batteries or batteries to carry DC motors; the transmission mainly relies on gears to transfer power to the rear wheels to achieve drive.
The brakes use rear drum brakes, and the starting, speed limit, horn and lighting all have corresponding factory settings based on child safety.
That car has only one row of seats, which can accommodate two to three children under the age of 8. The driver has a separate seat that extends forward for easy driving.
The battery can last for about two hours. It can be driven not only indoors, but also on roads and even beaches. Its passability is still very good.
***
In the spring, by the Yan Lake, green willows hang low, flowers bloom, and colorful butterflies fly.
Chen Yin sat on the grass by the river, enjoying the achievements of her classmates in the Department of Agriculture and Forestry. She had the book open in her hand but was not reading. Instead, she listened attentively to Yan Jiuru's talk about his plan to make money.
After hearing so much, she couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question: "How much does this car sell for?"
It was like a sharp sword piercing his heart.
However, Yan Jiuru said calmly, "The selling price at that time was 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars!"
"Twenty or thirty thousand! And in US dollars?" Chen Yin's jaw almost dropped.
Yan Jiuru said hurriedly: "Don't think it's expensive. There are so many people queuing up to place orders but they can't get the goods."
It’s not just talk that foreigners are rich.
"Of course, the poor still make up the majority of those countries, and the rich are a minority everywhere. But the same principle applies throughout history, both in China and abroad: the rich account for the majority of wealth distribution."
"My goal is to earn money from wealthy foreigners, not poor foreigners."
It is not the money of the Chinese people who are still struggling to make ends meet.
***
Of course, he has to invest in research and development and production himself, and it is impossible to rely solely on this toy car.
He also did relevant research.
This time I went to the West with a purchasing group and talked to Martin. He recommended me to see the miniature egg car produced by Taobao in 1955:
About 2.28 meters long and 1.3 meters wide;
Four-wheel design;
It is equipped with a motorcycle-grade gasoline engine, which can reach a speed of 85 kilometers per hour;
The lightweight shell is buckled onto the engine frame like an eggshell. The unique design of the front door means that once the front door opens, the car will shut down and the steering wheel will open and close accordingly. . . .
However, just these small eggshell cars were sold 160,000 units in 7 years!
It successfully helped a certain car company that was in turmoil after World War II to survive the crisis.
Of course, unlike Farah’s high-end electric toy cars, this eggshell car is just for the sake of cheapness!
Its original design intention was to meet the needs of the less affluent people after the war.
Low cost, low production price, selling price is just over a thousand US dollars!
However, this car can be driven on the road and has obtained road rights and automobile manufacturing licenses from relevant departments!
Yan Jiuru currently has no plans to take such a big step at once.
As the old saying goes, if you take too big a step, you may end up hurting your balls...
He started with a drivable toy car.
***
Chen Yin also studied science and engineering. Although she studied different subjects, she still understood basic physics.
She asked, "Since it's going to be driven outdoors, it should be no different from a regular car. Can the basic technology be solved?"
Yan Jiuru put down the camera and sat down. "I have carefully studied these things before going abroad this time. If it is to build a large car, it may be a bit complicated, but making a children's car is considered a toy, so it is not a problem.
I asked the school, and they said we don't have any industrial land, and the School of Engineering doesn't plan to expand the small factory used for research."
Chen Yin looked at him and said, "Hmm, so you can't find a place to build a factory?"
Yan Jiuru sneered, "That's not the case. Actually, the school doesn't have any prime land, and they want me to be affiliated with the school. They want to use the small, shabby site of the Institute of Engineering as a makeshift factory, and let students from various departments come and practice."
Chen Yin raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms, and said, "Who said that? Did you understand it, or did someone else say that?"
Wow, the aura of the president of the student union of tens of thousands of students at Yan University immediately emerged!
"I went to the school logistics department and the academic affairs office at least five or six times, and each time they were vague. In summary, this is what they meant."
As a cultured person, you may not say anything explicitly, but you can understand what they mean.
Chen Yin nodded, "What do you think?"
"I'm disgusted by their unpleasantness. If I were to get involved with them, my Dao heart would be ruined and my path to immortality would be cut short."
"Pfft~" Chen Yin couldn't help laughing.
She reached out and gently pinched her husband's neck, shrugging, "You still want to be a Taoist, still want to be an immortal, why don't you ascend to heaven in broad daylight!"
"Forget it, I'll go to the Municipal Party Committee this afternoon.
Since you don't want to be tied to the school, then you must be affiliated with your institute?"
Yan Jiuru let her tease him and said helplessly, "The institute can get industrial land, but it's all in the western or eastern suburbs, far from home and school. Running back and forth is such a waste of time."
Especially since they have to balance their studies.
This is really not easy to deal with...
***
However, problems are meant to be overcome.
Since Yan Jiuru has made up his mind, he will of course give it his all.
Chen Yin definitely supports him.
She went to the municipal party committee and municipal government two or three times. After the relevant leaders inquired, the school's attitude changed drastically. A vice-president personally held a meeting with Yan Jiuru and 107 schools to discuss the matter.
Finally, it was decided that the manufacturing plant would still be affiliated with the 107th Institute, and the relevant industrial land would be coordinated by the 107th Institute to take into account the academic convenience of Yan Jiuru and others.
In addition, a supporting factory for spare parts processing was established, which is affiliated with Yanda.
Yanda's small factory has also allocated a piece of idle land outside to supporting factories.
The condition is that students from the School of Engineering, School of Physics, and Department of Materials Science can all "practice" and conduct research here, and work and study at the same time.
In this way, Yan Jiuru can carry out some of his projects in supporting factories and go to the automobile factory for final assembly, so he doesn't have to waste time running to the suburbs.
Chen Yin also said: "This is already the best solution."
She tried her best.
Even though she had worked in the Municipal Party Committee Secretariat for some time, it was still difficult for her to find someone to do things for her.
If the old leader hadn't intervened, this matter would not have been easy to handle.
The president of Yan University personally went to the higher authorities to request the indicators for the supporting factory.
You know, the president of Yanda University is a vice-ministerial-level cadre, and the first president was a first-rank official! This is equivalent to a vice-state-level cadre today.
Don’t think that a small supporting factory is insignificant. There are at least ten formal jobs here with quotas. If the project develops as scheduled, there will be no less than two or three hundred!
Which unit does not have unemployed family members and employees waiting for placement?
How can this indicator not be attractive?
It would be strange if they didn’t grab it.
Anyway, the result is good.
***
Since it was a subsidiary company, Yan Jiuru planned to invest the money himself.
The 107th Institute acquired 100 acres of industrial land for free use. The cost of factory construction was not much, and the main expenditure was on equipment.
Of course, the free meals provided by the government are not that delicious.
It is true that the land can be used free of charge, but according to Yan Jiuru's project plan, there are also indicators for how many workers must be resettled.
Yan Jiuru naturally agreed to this, but he also had conditions.
First, he gave priority to hiring retired or professional military personnel, as well as disabled military and police officers;
Secondly, priority will be given to the families of the above-mentioned hired workers;
Secondly, it is an open recruitment, and candidates will be hired only if they pass the written test and interview.
In short, he has the final say on hiring.
There's no way around it, he's the investor and he's the one who pays the salary.
Of course, there was an unexpected benefit to opening a factory: the government rationed all kinds of supplies, and even issued invoices for items requiring invoices. The only thing the company didn't do was control how the supplies were distributed to the people below.
***
"Have you decided on a name for the factory?" When Chen Yin returned home that night, she saw him with a raised lip corner, looking in a very good mood.
Sure enough, Yan Jiuru curled his lips and said, "Okay, Yancheng Feiying Automobile Manufacturing Plant (107 Research Institute), how is it? Is it okay?"
"The certificate is here soon?" Chen Yin stopped applying lotion and became happy too.
I didn’t think it would be easy before I started doing this, but I didn’t expect it to be so difficult!
Even she had to run around to several departments, looking for this and that, and they were considered to have some background.
If an ordinary person really has no backing, it would be extremely difficult!
Yan Jiuru couldn't help but laugh: "Yeah, I just got it today. By the way, I plan to treat a few people who helped me to dinner someday, would you like to join us? There will also be people from the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government."
Chen Yin nodded: "Okay, set a date and let me know in advance."
***
After the factory license was obtained, the international and domestic registered trademarks of the products, "Freedom" and "Furuide" brand children's toy cars, were also obtained.
Excluding land costs, the manufacturing cost of an export-grade sample vehicle is estimated to be around 230 yuan. Including miscellaneous items, the cost price is 300 yuan per vehicle.
Yan Jiuru set the export price at US$8,999 per basic model, and the huge premium is mainly due to taxes and fees.
Compared with the antique Ferrari convertible, his toy car has undergone relatively large changes in appearance and many designs have been optimized. For example, it has double doors that can be opened and closed, an electric horn has been added, and the tires are detachable semi-solid tires.
In addition, there are many optional features, such as starting and reversing, turn prompts, and an optional removable roof so that the car can be driven even in the rain.
For driving, there are two options: dry battery and battery.
In addition, a small maintenance tool box is available as an option, which contains 12 small tools including a small wrench, a small screwdriver, a small jack, a miniature fire extinguisher, etc.
The car body color also has seven options: red, light yellow, fruit green, sky blue, royal blue, colorful pink, and crystal purple.
Leather seats are also available as an option.
Of course, when all these options are added together, the price of the top configuration soars to US$17,999 per unit!
***
After the project was approved, the registration procedures for the factory and products were completed, which was already the second semester of my sophomore year.
As the autumn wind was about to blow, Yan Jiuru spent the entire summer vacation on the construction site, watching the factory building, starting from a piece of wasteland, slowly become a neat factory area according to his drawings.
He borrowed from Western factory designs, including production workshops, assembly lines, materials, semi-finished products, finished products, inspection areas, test areas, and even collision test sites.
Money was spent like water...
Even Ms. Wang, the part-time accountant he hired from Institute 107, began to feel sorry for him and told him that he didn't need to pay her salary since she got it from the institute anyway.
As for the professional soldiers who were received, upon hearing that his investment had greatly exceeded the budget, they all expressed their willingness to receive half of their salary first. . . . .
Even the Demon Lord himself was moved by such sincerity!
However, he was not unable to pay wages.
If all else fails, you can go abroad and get some great deals!
The reason for the overspending was that he added extra test runs, inspections and crash tests.
Especially after the collision test, he installed a bumper on the front of the car, and the material used was upgraded to a higher grade, which was very expensive and the cost far exceeded the estimate.
But he is a father, and even if it is a children's toy and the speed limit is only 8 kilometers per hour, he still hopes to do his best.
***
Yan Jiuru's children's toy car project did not complete the preliminary work until his junior year, including quality inspections and fire inspections.
In the second semester of his junior year, Yan Jiuru's car factory was officially opened and began trial production.
At the same time, another small factory named "Golden Eagle Auto Parts Processing Factory" was officially listed at Yanda.
Here we produce the rubber semi-solid tires, alloy wheels, motors, batteries, various wiring wires, brake lines and other trivial materials needed for Fred cars, and are also responsible for purifying related raw materials.
The first finished car was built by Yan Jiuru himself, and was basically made by hand.
This big red car was named Fred 001.
After Yan Jiuru completed all the experiments and all the data were perfect, he specially invited Chen Yin, Zhuangzhuang, and his younger brothers and sisters to test drive the first car he built.
Yes, the mini one.
