Chapter 466: Not Making Money
Director Li’s machinery factory has basically stopped all other operations and is now fully committed to producing various furniture processing machines.
We also need to cooperate with CNC machine tool factories to produce engraving machines and new enamel machines.
He had already found out that these designs were all from Cheng Hui.
He also learned through gossip that Cheng Hui’s next step was to produce microwave ovens!
The foundation of her own electrical appliance factory has not been dug yet. He thinks she will not be able to make it in time for the Autumn Trade Fair, so he wants to build a modern factory for her.
"You should have told me earlier that this was what Cheng Hui wanted! This incident almost caused me to break my leg. I was so scared!" Director Li complained.
Chen Xiangxue said: "I was just joking with you, testing you."
If he knew that it was Cheng Hui who wanted to use it, but still didn't care and asked for a huge amount, then he would never give him any drawings drawn by Cheng Hui in the future.
Although the drawings submitted are state-owned and not confidential, he is not stupid and cannot analyze. Cheng Hui now wants to use this small machine to revive a factory, and 100 such small machines are enough for the entire capital.
If Director Li continues to work recklessly and sell more, she will not be able to save the people in the original candy factory, but will instead be making things difficult for others.
Can Cheng Hui do such a disadvantageous thing?
When she gets angry...take Zheng Manru as an example!
He was also a little scared, and felt that Cheng Hui was testing him by not saying it clearly.
He guessed correctly that Cheng Hui just wanted to test whether he was "sensible".
She actually really dislikes the current "patent" environment. She is used to protecting her intellectual property rights, but now there are no intellectual property rights and any design becomes public.
She was a little narrow-minded, but had no other choice but to rely on manual avoidance.
If Chen Xiangxue used her drawings to do favors or gave them away or sold them randomly, she would not give him the drawings directly in the future.
Director Li put the drawings away and stood up: "This joke is not funny at all! I'm leaving. We have to make 100 in two days. Time is very tight!"
Two days passed in a flash.
When Cheng Hui got off work in the afternoon, she received a call from Chen Xiangxue, asking her to come over and check out the machine.
He was so considerate that he shipped them all to the food factory for her.
The large open space was put to good use, with machines the size of a single desk densely arranged there.
There were workers standing next to the machines.
Although she did not notify everyone, all the workers who had not found jobs in the past two days came to help clean the factory.
Now everyone was very excited to see that Cheng Hui had not lied to them, abandoned them, and brought them so many new machines.
When Lin Ziwen saw Cheng Hui coming over, his face flushed with excitement: "Director, you are amazing! You got so many machines in a short time! It's incredible!"
Still a little sad...
In fact, the size of this machine is about the same as their original candy machine, so he thought it was a candy machine.
Once upon a time, they were looking forward to receiving a scrapped machine with great joy, but several of them dragged down the factory, the machines were turned into parts, and they still didn't get a new one.
Now that the factory manager has been changed, they immediately got 100 units!
Fortunately, the former factory manager is not here, otherwise he would be unable to raise his head due to the questioning looks he received.
"Director, how do you use these machines?" Lin Ziwen asked, "Is our factory going to do something big? Replace the No. 1 Candy Factory in Beijing?"
The First Candy Factory didn’t have so many new machines!
How many kilograms of sugar can be made in one day?
Cheng Hui asked him curiously: "Haven't you seen this machine before? Doesn't it look familiar?"
Lin Ziwen was stunned, looked at the machine carefully, shook his head, and said awkwardly: "I have never seen it, I don't know what kind of candy it is made of."
Cheng Hui asked the others, "Do you know?"
In the crowd, most of the young people shook their heads, but several people in their 40s had different expressions.
Someone whispered, "It looks familiar to me, like something used to make marshmallows, but it's much prettier than the ones I saw when I was a kid!"
Cheng Hui nodded: "Yes, it's for making marshmallows."
The cotton candy machine was invented in a foreign country in 1904. It caused a sensation at the time and soon entered the mainland.
Life was relatively peaceful at that time. Although cotton candy could not be found everywhere on the streets, it could always be seen in the capital.
But later on, when war broke out, we saw it less and less.
In the first few years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were still small vendors, but after a few years when everything became state-owned, cotton candy disappeared.
The few that were imported back then are now old and unusable.
Make new ones yourself? You don’t have the leisure time to do that. You can’t even have a meal, and you’re eating marshmallows? Instead of having those production materials, it is better to make other more useful machines.
Cheng Hui remembered that when she was a child, she only saw someone selling cotton candy at the entrance of the cinema once, and then she didn't know why he disappeared.
It has occasionally been heard in other places, but it disappears quickly.
So it’s normal that young people in their twenties haven’t seen it, but older people have seen it more often.
But after a few years, when the country was opened up, marshmallows were not only everywhere in the streets, but also in many places like parks and cinemas.
It’s neither too early nor too late for Cheng Hui to take it out now.
While she was lost in thought, a group of workers had already been briefed by an old worker on what marshmallows were, and everyone was looking forward to it.
Cheng Hui didn't keep them in suspense any longer. She went to wash her hands and started making marshmallows for them herself.
It’s almost a fool-proof operation, and soon, a snow-white, fluffy marshmallow is ready.
"Wow~~~" Everyone exclaimed immediately, even those who had seen it before exclaimed, because the marshmallows in their memory were not this big, nor as fluffy.
"Try it." Cheng Hui handed the marshmallow to Lin Ziwen.
Lin Ziwen took it with a flushed face. He wanted to be polite and let Guo Dajun taste it first, but he couldn't bear to do so and stuffed it into his mouth himself.
"Wow, it's so sweet! I just saw it was made with white sugar? White sugar doesn't seem to be as sweet and delicious as this. What's going on?" Lin Ziwen asked curiously.
Cheng Hui didn't explain such a simple question, she started making marshmallows again.
So fun!
Good for relieving stress!
She had a lot of fun and made dozens of marshmallows before she got tired of it and let others do it.
After seeing so much, they understood that there was really no technical content involved.
Guo Dajun also finished eating the marshmallows and said with a smile: "If you had this good stuff, you should have brought it out earlier. We would have set up a marshmallow group a long time ago."
Cheng Hui approached him and whispered, "It's not profitable."
Guo Dajun......
Cheng Hui said: "I plan to sell them for 10 cents each. I will work hard all day and make 100 yuan even if the machine smokes."
Guo Dajun really doesn't think much of 100 yuan.
He is no longer the small factory manager who had to rely on Cheng Hui to pay him a few dollars!
But he did not separate himself from the people. He whispered: "With 100 machines, I can earn 10,000 yuan a day, 300,000 yuan a month, which is enough to support 100 people."
Cheng Hui said: "This is just in theory. Who actually opens their eyes early in the morning to buy cotton candy?"
