Although some foreign countries have started mass-producing air conditioners, those air conditioners are limited to use in large buildings and public places. Around 2008, they began to be available for home use.
However, when they arrived in China on business, there was no air conditioning available. In the sweltering room, they were lucky to have even a creaking fan.
For them, bringing machines from abroad involves not only expensive installation costs, but also various taxes and miscellaneous expenses that are enough to make one's heart ache.
Therefore, it's inevitable that they carry a sense of smugness deep down, like someone who lives in a mansion suddenly arriving in a slum with an arrogant and superior feeling.
On the one hand, they were surprised that China could produce its own air conditioners; on the other hand, they thought they could buy them at their workplaces and residences in China in the future to improve their comfort.
"Is it already on sale?"
The tall, bearded man from country F couldn't wait to speak.
The organizer nodded with a smile, shrugged, and said, "Of course it will be sold. We'll wait for the release date, but everyone should hurry, because this thing..."
The meaning is clear: it's on a first-come, first-served basis.
After the meeting ended, the news about the air conditioner naturally spread. People who hadn't seen it with their own eyes were somewhat incredulous, wondering how it could be.
However, those who attended the meeting were already secretly preparing to rush to buy the items, fearing that, as the host had said, it would be a first-come, first-served situation.
If we can't buy it then, summer will be tough. Before we had this, we could only comfort ourselves by using a fan to keep warm. Now that we've experienced the coolness during the sweltering heat, how could we give it up?
There's no difference without comparison.
It's better if those people don't believe it, because that way they'll have fewer competitors.
In S city, because many places have installed air conditioning, there is no need for advertising; word of mouth has already opened up the market.
On the other hand, the people who had been keeping an eye on Fan Xiaofan withdrew and turned their attention to Ling S City. They had been keeping a close eye on it, but they didn't expect that China would cause such a commotion again.
Air conditioners in this era are still mechanically controlled, and their core technology is top secret. It would take a lot of effort for someone who doesn't understand it to figure it out...
And when the air conditioner finally arrived, they discovered that...
it turns out……
It's even more advanced than what they use domestically now, with many more user-friendly features.
Those who initially didn't believe it became eager to try it after experiencing it firsthand with their friends, but as mentioned before, it's first-come, first-served...
By the time people realized what was happening, they didn't even know which batch they had ordered from.
Profit-driven merchants saw a business opportunity in it, while others were even more fervent in their desire to find the reclusive master that Mr. Lin had promoted...
They both hoped that the old man had run out of ideas and would stop creating one monstrosity after another, and they also wanted to meet him in person to see just how talented he was in his research.
Those who were initially skeptical of Fan Xiaofan were met with sarcasm from the other side: "She's just a little girl, why are you wasting your time on her? Look at the world now, air conditioners are already on the market, and you're still fixated on a little girl..."
They found nothing about this with Fan Xiaofan; she was just an ordinary little girl, currently learning from her master. They were really being delusional; how could someone so young be like this…
