Chapter 107 Humidifier

"Manager Liu, don't we have a humidifier in No. 1 Department Store?" Feng Yu sat in the office of the manager of No. 1 Department Store with a surprised look on his face.

In the past few days, he felt that the air was too dry and wanted to buy a humidifier, but the First Department Store didn't even have one.

"Humidifier? What, I haven't heard of it?" Manager Liu looked surprised.

Have not heard? Feng Yu blinked his eyes, hasn't the humidifier been invented yet? No, I remember it a long time ago. It must still be used for industrial use, for conversion to civilian use.

That's great, the humidifier should also make him a lot of money.

"Manager Liu, don't you think your office is a little too dry? Wouldn't it be more comfortable if the air was moister?"

"Then is there any way? Can't we still sprinkle water on the ground? It's so dirty."

Feng Yu smiled and said nothing. I talked to Manager Liu about pork again, and Manager Liu agreed immediately. If there was pork a few years ago, their No. 1 department store would charge two thousand catties.

After leaving the First Department Store, Feng Yu turned around and returned to the motor factory.

"Why, Mr. Feng's pork hasn't been sold yet? How much do you have? If it's a few thousand catties, we can buy it and share it with the workers in the front-line workshop." Li Shiyou thought that Feng Yu was still here to sell pork, so he should give it to Feng Yu. a face.

The last time Feng Yu was bullied by Song Lao Si's people, they didn't show up. Or would the Soviet Union's advanced equipment be able to get the machinery factory in turn?

"Director Li, I'm not here to sell pork. The pork has been sold out, and the machinery company wants it all. I have an idea, and I want to ask the motor factory if it can help to realize it."

When Feng Yu said this, Li Shiyou immediately became interested and cooperated with Feng Yu. The motor factory has never lost money.

"What do you think, the strength of our factory is also good in the country, especially the motor, which is leading in the country."

Feng Yu waved his hand: "Director Li, it's not too difficult, I just want to make a humidifier. To put it simply, it is to use a heating rod to turn water into steam to change the indoor air humidity."

"Change indoor air humidity?"

"Well, don't you think your office is a little dry? That's what winter in our north is like. A little carelessness can easily lead to respiratory infections, and even gasping for breath." Feng Yu continued to induce.

"The one you said, I'll just put an electric kettle in the office."

Wipe, it can be done!

"Do you think the office electric kettle is suitable? I'm going to make this humidifier out of plastic or glass. It's transparent, beautiful, and can be patterned on it. And using a humidifier can effectively prevent colds."

"you sure?"

"Of course, you'll know if you try it. If the humidifier is so big, it only needs to have a heating rod in it..." Feng Yu began to describe the appearance of the humidifier to Li Shiyou.

"Wait a minute, I'll call a few people in." Li Shiyou asked his secretary to call a few engineers and let them hear Feng Yu's thoughts so that they could know the cost of a humidifier.

"Mr. Feng, if you use glass, you need to use high-temperature-resistant glass. The cost is not low, and glass is fragile, so it is not very convenient to transport, right? If you use plastic, you should also use high-temperature-resistant plastic at the same price. It’s not cheap. The heating rod is not expensive, and the principle is very simple. We have absolutely no problem in making it. I don’t know how much processing fee Mr. Feng plans to give us for this humidifier?” a workshop director asked.

"How much do you want?"

A few people looked around and then lowered their heads to discuss. It was the workshop director who said, "Thirty. We need to make some changes to the existing equipment, and the assembly is more troublesome, and the quantity you ordered should not be less than 5,000 units. ."

The OEM cost is 30 yuan, and the material cost is more than 10 yuan. The price is higher than Feng Yu imagined. However, Feng Yu believes that he can still sell 5,000 units. It is really not good. It can be exported to the Soviet Union. Picking up junk... No, Brother Ji, who likes novelty things, will definitely not refuse.

"If you want plastic, there are two types of models. Let's produce 5,000 units first. It's okay to give you 30,000 yuan as a deposit. How long will it take to complete the production?"

"The mold needs to be remade. We are not worried about the efficiency here. It is mainly a plastic factory. It will take about ten days."

"Okay, then ten days, Director Li, shall we sign the contract?"

The next morning, Feng Yu came to the motor factory again, and the prototype was produced. Feng Yu looked at it, and there was no pattern on the plastic. His eyes were very monotonous, and it could even be said to be ugly. Go on.

"Director Li, the two pieces are separated, one is made white, the other is made blue, this place should be transparent, there should be patterns on this place, this place should have our trademark pattern of wind and rain, this place should be The handwriting must be printed, and there must be no leakage, and it is also convenient to change the water..."

Feng Yu proposed many improvements to the prototype, and several engineers from the motor factory took notes. Anyway, it's mainly the changes on the plastic casing. These costs are not borne by them. Feng Yu can change it however he wants.

"That's it, ten days later, I'll pick up the goods. If it's done, maybe we can do this for a long time."

Electric humidifiers are easy to imitate, but what about ultrasonic humidifiers? Large state-owned enterprises can solve the process problems of ultrasonic waves, but some small factories absolutely do not have this strength. However, if Feng Yu remembered correctly, the humidifier giant invested by the state should have already started to produce industrial humidifiers, and the civilian ones will not be launched until 1990.

A year ahead, if it still can't occupy the market, it can only prove that Feng Yu is really not the material.

I rushed to the newspaper without stopping to replace tomorrow's advertisement. The advertisements for soybean oil and white sugar have been running for so long, and everyone has already remembered the Taihua brand. Next, let everyone recall the Fengyu brand.

On the first day of the advertisement, there was only a picture the size of a flower pot, and many people could not understand what it was. It seems to be plastic, but the pattern is quite beautiful.

The next day, a small soft article was added to promote the disadvantages of dry air, such as easily causing colds and respiratory infections.

On the third day, the benefits of humid air to the human body were mentioned.

The fourth day was accompanied by a few big characters: Wind and Rain Electric, heavy return!

The effect of this sentence is even better than the previous soft article. Everyone is very curious, isn't Fengyu Electric the one that makes electric fans? Does the boss of this company have a hole in his head, selling electric fans in the winter?

Wind and rain electrical appliances have become a joke today, and many people are still talking about it when they go to work the next day. But there are still some people who are interested. In the newspaper advertisements of Lenovo two days ago, they guessed that what Fengyu Electric launched this time is definitely not an electric fan, but is related to adjusting the air humidity.

"Weather humidifier, good indoor companion."

This ad slogan occupied the entire newspaper page for five days, and it was impossible not to see it. And people's curiosity has also been mobilized. Humidifiers add humidity to the air? Does this thing work? Where is it sold?

PS1: The first humidifier in China was Yadu, which currently occupies 70% of the domestic market share. However, at the beginning, the main research direction was indeed industrial humidifiers. , and later the shareholding system was reformed, and it was taken advantage of by foreign capital!
