Chapter 77 Everyone Loves Humidifiers
After all, Director Song still kept the humidifier.
Director Zhang made a special trip to the hospital and asked the doctor what medicine Director Song should use for treatment. After getting the medicine that could be inhaled, he mixed some medicine solution into the water of the humidifier. Some natural plant flavors are added to it.
In this way, Director Song tossed the wet towel on the heating pipe to one side, and the room was very warm and fragrant all day long, which made people feel refreshed, like entering a Zhilan room, without realizing it for a long time fragrant.
"This Fan Wubing is really a young genius!" After staying in the office for a day, Director Song suddenly found that the whole person's spirit has improved a lot, and the coughing has also weakened to an unfathomable level. He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. Thinking that this thing was actually invented by Fan Wubing, his mood was different.
Or, this thing should be recommended to old friends, it is really useful! As people get older, they are prone to get angry, especially in this kind of dry winter in the north, the body that already lacks vitality is more likely to suffer from various obstacles due to lack of water.
It's hard to put into words how this humble little humidifier solves exactly that problem.
Fortunately, Fan Wubing and his son brought a lot of humidifiers. After Director Song called his old friends, many cars rushed to the compound of the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee from all directions in the capital, and moved away. One or more humidifiers.
After one night, the phone in Director Song's office was about to explode.
"Old Song, that thing of yours is very useful! Can you get some more?" This is a more polite way of saying it.
"Ge, you don't want to send a few more! When did your Science and Industry Committee be so stingy!" This is a relatively rough and heroic figure.
"Oh, my wife's health is not good either, she's coughing due to internal heat!" This is rather cryptic.
After receiving many such calls, Director Song finally couldn't stand it any longer, so he asked Director Zhang to interrogate him, "I said. How many humidifiers did Fan Wubing and his father bring here? I don't know how many humidifiers there are. It can be sold! Have they put this product into production yet?"
"That's not true, but they are applying for a patent, and it may be some time before they go into production. You know that. It takes a lot of time to obtain a patent. They have only been in Beijing for a few days. I'm afraid it will be done in a while. Not good." Director Zhang said honestly to Director Song.
"That's it—" Director Song pondered for a while, and glanced at the humidifier next to the table.
White mist is spraying from above. He said with a serious expression, "I think you can use the name of our Science and Industry Committee to urge the Patent Office. This thing is very good. Don't affect its production just because our work is not in place." After a pause, he With a wry smile, he said, "The most important thing is that this little thing really works. Many old comrades-in-arms almost made my ears callous because they want a few of these! If they don't hurry up and produce them, my phone will be blocked sooner or later." They blew up!"
"Okay, I'll help them finish this matter right away, don't worry about it!" Director Zhang agreed without hesitation.
Director Song explained it like this. Director Zhang was naturally much more convenient to do things. He ran down with Fan Wubing and his son, took a bunch of samples as a stepping stone, and solved the matter within three or two days.
After the person who applied for the patent tried this humidifier, he was also very interested. It is suggested that they also register foreign patents. "Such an easy-to-use small appliance can actually go abroad. You should register first."
Fan Wubing nodded, and said to himself that I have thought of this a long time ago. Given the current domestic situation, it is very difficult to make a fortune in small household appliances, but it is different abroad. Japan's economy is expanding rapidly. The U.S. economy has also started to strengthen again since Ronald Reagan came to power. The economic situation in Europe has always been relatively stable, and the market potential is huge. These are good places to make a fortune.
Before the humidifier entered the home, many northerners tried to cope with the dryness of the indoor space in winter. Some of them placed larger water containers at home, some simply put a fish tank, and some raised flowers with large water content. Some people simply put a long towel on the radiator, and the bottom of the towel is immersed in the water basin, so that due to the capillary phenomenon and the heat brought by the heating, the water can evaporate into the air quickly and improve the quality of life. Dry air conditions.
Now that Fan Wubing has made a humidifier, it naturally solves this big problem, reduces the cumbersomeness, improves the air quality, and also takes into account some health care functions, and the price is not too expensive, so The market prospect of this product is very good.
However, although there are many samples that Fan's father and son often bring, the number is limited, about two or three hundred units. Director Song recommended some to old friends, and some departments that have to deal with sent some samples. It's sold out.
Those who can get the samples for trial are basically veteran cadres who are capable, energetic and influential. After these people have used it, they all think that this product is really good, at least they don’t have to put it on the radiator at home. Take a wet towel to increase the humidity. After they passed it around, almost everyone in the capital knew about it, saying that there is an air humidifier that is very good to use.
So this kind of situation appeared. The official product has not been launched yet, and everyone began to wait for the stars and the moon.
"Can you release a batch of products first? Many people are asking me. I can't keep telling people that there are no products yet, can I? After a long time like this, many people will definitely have opinions and think that I am lying. They are the same." Director Song scratched his head, he knew too many people, there were thousands of households in Beijing just for ministerial-level cadres, and everyone was looking forward to getting one or two. It's hard for him.
"The production is already being stepped up! A week later, a large batch of products will be sold in the Beijing market first, so as to ensure sufficient supplies in the capital!" Fan Wubing, who made a special trip to visit Director Song, was also scratching his head.
He also didn't expect such a big scene from a small humidifier. Although he knew that there was nothing wrong with taking the upper-level route, he couldn't understand everyone's frantic follow-up mentality. It was really strange. !
"That's good, we finally have a definite date!" Director Song nodded, then patted Fan Wubing's head and said, "Remember to be quick! The foreign-related hotels in the capital should also be equipped with this thing, which is beneficial Improve our image!"
Equipped with humidifiers in foreign-related hotels? When Fan Wubing heard it, he immediately felt that Director Song's idea was really good, it was equivalent to a free international advertisement!
There are two kinds of people who often go to foreign-related hotels in China, one is foreigners, and the other is Chinese who often come into contact with foreigners. They run around all day, and naturally they are well-informed. , If you equip this humidifier to every foreign-related hotel, then the advertising effect will definitely surprise people.
"Director Song, as long as you implement the quota of humidifiers for foreign-related hotels, I will—" Fan Wubing was so excited that he almost said that he was willing to supply them for free, but when the words came to his lips, his mind finally cleared up. Come over, stop hastily, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then continued, "We sell at cost price, what do you think?"
Director Song looked at Fan Wubing with a smile, and thought that although this little guy is young, he has made a lot of famous things, and he really doesn't know how he was born. After seeing Fan Wubing's statement, he nodded and said, "Let me talk about it, there shouldn't be any problem. After all, many people have used this thing. Everyone agrees, so there is no reason not to use it."
After using it for a few days, Director Song found that the leaves of the flowers in the house were originally dry, but now they are green. The ups and downs on the office furniture usually generate static electricity when touched, but now it will not Well, if you add some natural spices to the water, the room will be filled with a very pleasant aroma, and when people sit in it and work, their efficiency will be greatly improved.
"Good things should be vigorously promoted." Director Song said to Fan Wubing after he came back to his senses.
Originally, before Fan's father and son came to Beijing, the production of humidifiers was basically finalized, and they were all of ordinary styles. After calling back, emergency production began there, and finally, five days later, the first batch of goods came out. A total of sixteen wagons of humidifiers were transported to the capital.
At that time, major shopping malls in Beijing put the newly arrived humidifiers on the counters overnight. When the samples used for demonstration began to emit white water mist on the counters, the sales market was detonated!
After Director Song's coordination, all the foreign-related hotels in the capital were equipped with humidifiers. Suddenly, the whole city was full of voices talking about this small appliance.
The continuous boom in sales also made Fan Wubing determined that the humidifier advertisement should also be included in this year's CCTV advertising budget. As for the overseas market, he still has to wait until his high-end products are formally finalized before launching them as good.
After all, the level of consumption overseas is high, if you don’t want to try to earn more foreign exchange, then you are making life difficult for yourself! At least for now, as the only manufacturer of humidifiers, this seller's market is completely monopolized!
