"Haha, isn't this Mr. Chen? Why don't you make money in Changchun but come here?" Wan Feng would not stop mocking Chen Tianchui just because Chen Dao was present.
You little bastard, you dare to jump around in front of me after just two days of eating full meals.
"Xiao Wan! You came at the right time. You should teach this good-for-nothing a lesson." After Chen Dao finished speaking, he turned around and went upstairs.
He is shirking responsibility. The son is his, why should I help you educate him?
Chen Tianchui said with a sad face: "Brother Feng, I was wrong. I shouldn't have disobeyed you."
"So Clivia is finished?"
"Brother! I still don't understand why it was over so quickly, without even a buffer. The Changchun Municipal Government introduced a series of policies, and the market completely collapsed the next day. Didn't you see the prices plummet? Blossoms worth tens of thousands of yuan dropped to a few hundred yuan in just a few hours, and no one wanted them."
I told you not to believe it at the beginning, but now reality has slapped you in the face.
"What's the point of saying this now? The hardest thing to buy in this world is regret medicine. Have you paid for it with your underwear?"
"No, not really. From the moment the Linji Daily first published an article, I felt the situation was not good. Then I remembered your warning and immediately took urgent action. At least I got back half of my capital. If I had been given another four or five days, I would have gotten it all back."
"You're smart enough not to lose it all. Does that mean you still have over a hundred thousand left?"
Chen Tianchui nodded.
"At least I don't have to beg for food anymore. What are you going to do next?"
It is impossible for someone like Chen Tianchui, who has become rich overnight, to go back to doing a small business to earn thirty or twenty yuan a day. They have become too arrogant and no longer care about small things.
I guess what he is thinking about now is still making a lot of money. Wan Feng can't guess what he will do in the future.
"I just came to ask you what do you think I do?"
"Ask me? That's easy. Our factory is recruiting workers. You can learn the skills from your father and then work in the factory. I'll pay you 180 yuan a month. How about that?"
This would probably be more painful than killing him.
Going to work? Chen Tianchui looked very unhappy.
At his peak, he made tens of thousands of yuan a day, but now he's only making three or four yuan? He'd rather sit at home and save the money in the bank to earn interest.
Chen Tianchui didn't answer, which naturally meant he was unwilling.
"You don't like it? There are thousands of workers in all the factories here in Wahou, and they only make fifty or sixty yuan a month. They're doing well, so why can't you? I think you need to calm down and move bricks at the brick factory for a few days to calm down."
Lifting bricks? That's worse than working in a factory.
"I don't have time to greet you right now. You should walk around and calm down first. I need to talk to your father. I'll greet you after I finish my work."
Wan Feng drove Chen Tianchui away and went to the second floor.
Perhaps because he had reconciled with his son, Chen Dao was in a good mood and was smiling as he looked at the blueprints with several craftsmen.
When he saw Wan Feng coming up, he waved to him.
"Where's my son?"
Wan Feng nodded: "I asked him to go to the brick factory to move bricks."
Chen Dao was confused: "Moving bricks?"
"He's in a restless mood right now. It's pointless to do anything unless he calms down. But I don't think he'll go. He might be wandering around the market right now."
"Let's ignore him for now and talk about the problem with the motorcycle engine."
Chen Dao took the initiative to bring up this topic, and he probably has found the cause and even figured out a solution.
"Have you found the reason?"
"It's basically done. There are several reasons, including uneven carburetor oil mixture and poor lubrication. However, these are minor issues. The biggest problem is that the cylinder material is not good enough to support the continuous operation of the engine."
"The cylinder block material of the 50 engine cannot be used for this?" The material used to make the cylinder block is the mature cylinder block material of the 50 engine, but it is unexpected that it fails to meet the standards when used here.
"Although the AX100 engine and the 50 engine are both two-stroke engines, their operating principles, sizes, cylinder diameters, and pistons are very different. Consequently, the temperatures generated during operation are significantly different. While those materials are fine for the 50 engine, they are completely inadequate for ours. We need to reprocess, improve, and integrate these materials, which requires a process of trial and error to find new materials, which takes time."
"No idea how long it will take?"
"Maybe two or three months, maybe a year or half a year, but I don't think it will take more than a year."
Wan Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
This is normal. If Chen Dao said that the material problem could be solved in a few days and the engine could be accepted in one or two months, he would feel uneasy. It would be ridiculous that the engine could be built so easily.
If it takes too long, say three to five years, then this motorcycle will lag behind Jincheng in terms of market share, and that will be a problem.
If that's the case, I might as well go back and look for the stupid Japanese guy.
Although these devices came from Japan, Wan Feng really didn't want to have too much contact with the Japanese because they had too many messy rules and regulations.
If another Japanese idiot comes, he will only provide you with ready-made materials but not the recipe, and you will still be controlled by others in the future.
Even if I give you the recipe, if you are not allowed to use it one day, you will still be at a loss.
If you want to avoid being strangled by others in the future, you must have your own things.
In later generations, being strangled by foreign countries is not an uncommon thing. It often happens in various fields. It’s just that the government doesn’t say anything and the general public doesn’t know about it.
The most famous Zhongxin incident before Wan Feng’s rebirth is a very representative example.
Wan Feng's current plan is to do research and development on his own from the beginning, no matter what business he runs, and he will not rely on others. He does not want to be a comprador enterprise.
If he follows this policy from now on, after 20 to 30 years of development, it will not be difficult to catch up with and surpass foreign countries.
"But the problem also arises. Finding materials and fusing them requires money. We need research and development funds."
This is not a problem. There is no point in doing scientific research without money. Scientific research is just a money-burning thing.
"Money is not a problem. How much does it cost in total?"
"Through research, we estimate that the research budget will be around 80,000 to 90,000 yuan."
"I'll give you 100,000. Come back to me if it's not enough. But for now, you don't have to rush. The new factory will be renovated in a month or so. I've already notified the manufacturers in Shenyang and Bohai to start shipping the machine tools and other equipment. Once the machine tools are installed, you can do whatever you want."
"We know that, but we can't just sit around doing nothing now."
What Chen Dao said made sense. Yan Ling had already sent a registered letter, and some recruiters who were not here were also returning one after another.
There are about twenty or thirty people here now, and it would be a waste if they were idle.
