Chapter 261: A Woman Transforms into a Man - Technology in the 70s and 80s 15

: Moving to a new house is a great joy.

Jiang Lan did not intend to let himself down. There was nothing in the new house, so he planned to go to the store to buy some things to put at home.

At that time, the types of products sold in department stores were relatively single, and you couldn't just buy them if you had money, you needed relevant receipts.

Fortunately, he had all these things, so he strolled around and was shocked by the prices here.

Compared to the cheap prices of houses, the prices of electrical products were really too high.

An ordinary black and white TV set actually cost 300 yuan.

The broken copper and iron fan that Jiang Lan looked down on also cost more than 100 yuan.

After a round of shopping, Jiang Lan bought a few sets of clothes, some daily necessities and food, and a 28-inch bicycle, and then stopped shopping.

He originally wanted to buy a watch or something, but when he saw the price of a few hundred yuan, he felt a little discouraged and thought it was not a good deal.

This watch is worth a house, and it doesn't seem to be a good deal no matter how you think about it. It was

the first time I saw a store with very distinctive characteristics of the era, and the audience in the live broadcast room was also very surprised.

[Industrial products are so expensive, isn't the anchor trying to make a fortune? ]

[Just sell something casually, and you will make a lot of money. ]

This is really true. Nowadays, the first pot of gold earned by those who are brave enough to go into business often starts from reselling goods.

Merchants take advantage of information asymmetry and sell some obsolete things in big cities to remote places.

Or they buy some foreign electronic products from the border and sell them to domestic merchants.

After Jiang Lan carried the things home, he simply arranged them, returned to school, and plunged into the laboratory.

There are a lot of materials in the laboratory, and it is not difficult to assemble some small electrical appliances with these materials.

Take the electric fan for example, Jiang Lan really looks down on ordinary electric fans.

He wants to make an air-conditioning fan, but it is definitely not a fake air-conditioning fan.

Some air-conditioning fans have appeared on the market in the past. They are called air-conditioning fans, but they are actually electric fans with ice, without any technical content.

Jiang Lan was determined to make a real air-conditioning fan, that is, a fan that can produce air-conditioning effects, and it should be more energy-saving and environmentally friendly than air-conditioning.

He stayed in the laboratory for several days.

When Professor Liu came to check the laboratory instruments, he found Jiang Lan inside.

"The engine project is finished, what are you doing now?"

Jiang Lan was testing the motor, "Professor Liu, I made a small thing, and it's basically successful."

Professor Liu also became interested, "What a good thing, let me see."

"Please wait, I'll assemble it first."

Jiang Lan sat on the ground with his legs crossed and began to assemble it. Soon a silver-white electric fan was installed, which looked quite high-end.

"Electric fan? Why do you install this?"

"Professor Liu, this is not an ordinary electric fan, it's an air-conditioning fan."

"Air-conditioning?" Professor Liu pricked up his ears, "This thing is available abroad, but it's only imported in China, and the price is very high."

At that time, air-conditioning was a fighter among luxury goods. There was no air-conditioning in China, so it had to be imported.

This price of several thousand yuan is the base price, and it may not be enough.

"You will know if you try it."

As soon as Jiang Lan turned it on, the air-conditioning fan started to "whirr" and blew out waves of cool breeze.

"It's really cool, much better than the old-fashioned fan in my house."

Professor Liu picked up the air-conditioning fan and looked at it from left to right, and was very curious.

"This thing is good."

Jiang Lan smiled, "I think our country is also in trouble now. Ordinary people still have to rely on imports to buy small appliances. The money is earned by foreigners. It's a pity."

"You are right, so our country will pay special attention to talents in science and engineering. Science and technology are productivity."

"Professor Liu, can a student like me do research on his own?"

If it were someone else, Professor Liu would definitely scold him for overestimating his own abilities and being too ambitious.

But if it were Jiang Lan, he would be fully capable of doing so, and maybe he would create a miracle.

"It shouldn't be a problem. With your strength and contribution, the school should agree."

Jiang Lan nodded, turned around and applied to the school for his own independent laboratory, which was soon approved.

At the same time, he also applied for a patent for the air-conditioning fan he invented.

His patent was soon acquired by a state-owned enterprise that processes electrical appliances.

This time he did not ask for the patent fee, but for shares.

As the weather got hotter, the air-conditioning fan invented by Jiang Lan began to be sold in major department stores.

Compared with other electric fans, which are large in size, noisy, and rough in workmanship.

This air-conditioning fan looks exquisite, has no noise, and has a particularly good cooling effect, and its energy consumption is the same as that of ordinary electric fans.

The most important point is that an air-conditioning fan only costs 70 yuan, which is very cost-effective.

Good things do not need to be promoted at all, and they are directly snapped up by the enthusiastic crowd.

Jiang Lan was also very generous. He gave one to each professor in the school, and all the students in the class were not left out.

These are the most valuable connections. Giving them small gifts will bring rich rewards and you will never suffer a loss.

Of course, he did not forget to donate a batch of air-conditioning fans to the province, city, county, community and high school of his hometown.

As for the Jiang family, I am really sorry, there is nothing.

Jiang Lan did it on purpose. He wanted the Jiang family to feel that Jiang Lan was brilliant, but in fact, they could not get any benefits and could only watch.

With the help of the air-conditioning fans, Jiang Lan received an invitation for product research and development.

This time, he was invited by Xiahua Company, a well-known home appliance company in J Province.

They came to National Tsing Hua University specifically to invite Jiang Lan to join the product development department.

Of course, this joining was not a real joining, but they hoped that Jiang Lan could join the R&D team as an outside staff member to help the company overcome difficulties.

Xiahua Company is a state-owned enterprise and a time-honored domestic electrical appliance manufacturing company.

They are now fully committed to the development of air conditioners, but the results are not very ideal, at least it is far from achieving the cooling effect of imported air conditioners.

The advent of air-conditioning fans gave them a glimmer of hope, hoping to absorb relevant technical experience and make real air conditioners.

This is the first time that the National Tsing Hua University has encountered such a thing. In the past, companies would come to borrow experts and scholars, borrow students, etc., but this is indeed the first time.

The leaders of the school held a special meeting to discuss the current situation.

They considered Jiang Lan's grades, his daily performance, and his opinions.

Finally, they decided to let him go to J Province Xiahua Group as a special student of National Tsing Hua University to conduct research for three months.

Jiang Lan packed his bag and followed the representatives of Xiahua Group to J Province.
