Bucktooth was so impressed that he quickly grabbed a notebook to take notes, and then turned to Xing Baohua and asked, "Why don't you direct this film?"
"I make hundreds of thousands a day, why would I film this? While you guys are bragging here, I've already lost tens of thousands." Xing Baohua said this as he took out a cigarette and lit it.
When handing it to Bucktooth Gang, he asked, "Where's that pack of cigarettes you had last time? Bring it out and exchange it."
"They're all gone, so I'll take yours instead!"
Xing Baohua tossed a cigarette to the buck-toothed man and continued, "What I'm talking about is all inspiration borrowed from other movies. I've watched a lot of movies in America. As for the story, how to write it is up to you guys. We'll also need to find you as a consultant; we can't just film whatever we want."
"Consultants are easy to find. There are plenty of retired old men in the compound. You can easily pull a few in, give them food and cigarettes, and have them do some vetting. It's just that for the big scenes, you need to use a lot of extras!"
"Then we'll borrow people from the military, spend the money where necessary, and hire more demolition experts to create a large-scale bombing scene with explosives, while also paying attention to personal safety. So we must use a professional guidance team."
"Okay!" Bucktooth Gang nodded in agreement.
Ma Zhangyan said, "I think we should use the theme of the War of Resistance Against Japan. If we use the theme of the War of Resistance Against America, we will need to find a lot of foreigners. Putting money aside, the problem is that we don't have many people from this area."
"If you're going to use the theme of resisting the US, you should first calculate how many shots you'll need and how many foreign faces you'll be able to see. Start by looking domestically; if you really can't find any, I'll transfer some from the US."
"Okay." Just as Ma Zhangyan finished speaking, he heard someone call out to him that the goods had arrived.
When Ma Zhangyan went outside, he saw that the rice had been delivered, and very quickly at that.
When the DaMi LCD TV appeared in front of everyone, they realized what the DaMi brand was.
The ultra-lightweight LCD TV feels so light and easy to lift with one hand. Compared to those bulky, fluorescent-screen TVs, they seem utterly insignificant.
Compared to the refrigerator, the rice has a modern design, a standard rectangular shape with right angles. The only drawback is that it lacks a sharp edge.
They asked the installer to remove the fluorescent screen TV, but the installer didn't dare to. Besides, they didn't know Xing Baohua and thought he was a friend of the customer.
Xing Baohua borrowed his master's tools to disassemble the television.
First, check if there are any original factory labels inside. If not, check the part numbers and then find out which manufacturer produced this batch of goods.
After disassembling the television, there were no labels inside, but many of the parts had model numbers that Xing Baohua recognized. He found a pen and paper to record the motherboard model, picture tube model, and screen model, among others.
They assembled the TV, then disassembled the refrigerator. Looking at it from the back, there wasn't even a nameplate. Isn't this a counterfeit product? At the very least, you should have labeled the power rating.
Upon seeing the compressor's model and size, Xing Baohua laughed, but in the end, it was just a wry smile.
There are always experts out there. This time I've really opened my eyes. I found the compressor model, and it's even an imported compressor, made by Mitsubishi.
The others, seeing Xing Baohua's smile, sensed something was amiss and gathered around. Among them, Old Ma asked, "Is there something wrong with this refrigerator?"
"Yeah, it's made in a small workshop. The biggest problem is that it breaks down in less than a year. Even appliance repairmen have a headache dealing with it," Xing Baohua said.
"Is the quality very poor?" the writer asked, craning his neck to look behind the refrigerator.
"The quality of Mitsubishi Electric's compressors is beyond question."
"As long as it works, that's fine. I'll install it in a bit and take it home," the writer said hastily upon hearing that the main internal parts were imported from Mitsubishi.
"The compressor is good, but it's a vehicle compressor, mainly used in vehicle air conditioning. Now it's been moved to a refrigerator."
"Holy crap, you can do that?" Bucktooth blurted out as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Why not! As long as we lower the cost, we can make you feel like everything is fine while using it. But after a while, the car compressor can't handle the high load, so it's no wonder it breaks down. Besides, once this thing breaks down, most mechanics can't fix it. They'd either have to find another car compressor to replace it, or replace the refrigerator compressor, which are both major projects!"
"That's outrageous! Spending so much money for a one-year lifespan? Nobody could stand that."
Just then, the rice installer was carrying a rice refrigerator into the house. Upon seeing the fake one, he chuckled and said, "You have one too? Hurry up and find out where you bought it; you might still be able to recover your losses."
"Have you seen it?" Xing Baohua, who was squatting behind the refrigerator, looked up and asked the installer.
"Wait a moment," the installer said, and he and another colleague put the rice refrigerator back in its original position, handing over the rest of the work to another colleague.
He walked over and saw Xing Baohua also stand up. He pointed at the refrigerator and said, "Yesterday, a family brought their refrigerator to the rice after-sales service center, saying that their refrigerator, which they had only bought a week ago, was broken. When we looked at the label, we knew it wasn't our brand and refused to repair it. But they made a scene! They insisted that it was our rice."
They compared the brand logos and offered to fix it for us, but said the repair fee would be extra. We opened the back cover and saw it was the same thing. We still don't understand what model the compressor is. Seeing the Mitsubishi logo made us hesitant to touch it; after all, it's an imported compressor, and we've never seen one before, nor do we know where to get the parts.
Xing Baohua said, "This is a car air conditioning compressor, which is generally used in Japanese cars, and it is more expensive than a normal refrigerator compressor."
"This manufacturer of the rice-imitation refrigerator really went all out!" the installer exclaimed.
"It's not new, it's a used, salvaged compressor." Xing Baohua paused slightly as if he remembered something.
