Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 146 Innovation

Wen Qing opened the back cover of the refrigerator and carefully checked the internal parts. There was no problem with the compressor, condenser, or evaporator.

After plugging in the power supply and turning on the refrigerator, it can cool down, and it is normal to hear the buzzing sound of the compressor. However, the refrigerator will not cool down if it is turned on for more than an hour.

She was a little overwhelmed for a moment, carefully recalled the various components, opened the drawings, and began to recalculate the relevant parameters.

After a while, she put down her pen, pointed at the capillary on the drawing, and said, "I think the problem is here. I just calculated that the capillary should be 30 centimeters longer to achieve the effect of reducing pressure. Also, the correct capillary should be % thinner than this. This is my calculation result."

He showed his calculation results to Lao Xiang, an engineer in the factory. Lao Xiang looked at the design drawings carefully, compared them with Wen Qing's calculation results, and nodded, "It should be caused by this problem."

While Lao Xiang arranged for people to redo the capillary tubes, he said to Wen Qing, "Xiao Wen, how is work going? Are you busy?"

Wen Qing smiled and said, "Uncle Xiang, it's okay. It's not too busy."

The factory was remaking the parts, so Wen Qing didn't need to wait for the results. She said goodbye and took the opportunity to find Zhuang Xien.

When they arrived at the Xunda store, Fang Yuan saw her and called out, "Brother Zhuang, someone is looking for you."

Upon hearing the news, Zhuang Xien came over from the modification area and said, "Xiao Qing, you're here?" He looked very happy.

Wen Qing saw that the store was displaying mountain bikes and city bikes she designed, as well as imported mountain bikes. She pointed at the first two types of bikes and asked, "Are these easy to sell?"

Zhuang Xien smiled and said, "Fortunately, we set the price high, otherwise we wouldn't have enough city bikes to sell."

Wen Qing saw the price and found it was not cheap, 50% more expensive than ordinary bicycles.

Fang Yuan said, "Sister Wen, when will the imported mountain bikes be delivered? Aren't we going to sign up soon? Many people are interested in imported mountain bikes."

Wen Qing had already sold 5000% of the mountain bikes she bought, so she asked, "How many do you want?"

"This time, please send 700 vehicles."

"Ok."

Then he turned to Zhuang Xien and said, "You still have to pay attention to the prices of other bicycle shops. Don't give up the market to others."

Zhuang Xien said: "Aluminum alloy materials are relatively expensive now, and disc brakes are not cheap either, so the cost cannot be reduced."

The frames of their Schindler city bikes are made of aluminum alloy, and the brake discs are made of high-strength steel, which is a bit more expensive, so the selling price is definitely higher than that of ordinary bicycles.

After the three of them finished lunch, Fang Yuan went back to the store first. Wen Qing and Zhuang Xien walked back slowly. Zhuang Xien said, "Xiao Qing, my parents are asking when we are getting married?"

Wen Qing said: "What do you mean?"

"Xiao Qing, we have known each other for three years, what do you think of me?"

"Do you think I am praising you? Or criticizing you?"

"I think I'm still a reliable and good young man. Xiaoqing, I want to marry you."

Wen Qing's face flushed and she lowered her head.

Zhuang Xien then said, "Xiao Qing, let's get married?"

Wen Qing said: "You know, I haven't contacted my family, how can I tell them?"

"Just say that you have a bad relationship with your family." This is also the truth.

Due to the chaos, many people’s family relationships became complicated, and many lost contact.

Wen Qing nodded, "I'll think about it again."

After they broke up, Wen Qing returned to the school-run factory. The capillary had been remade, and she replaced the capillary on the refrigerator with Xiang Gong. After starting the machine for testing, the problem of the machine not cooling down no longer occurred.

Director Li thanked Wen Qing and sent her out of the factory.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wen Qing rode her bike back to Erxia Village.

Wen Qing was thinking about Zhuang Xien's words. She was almost 25 years old. The two had known each other for a long time and admired each other. Especially since they met, Zhuang Xien had not interacted with other girls and seemed to be a loyal man.

Dating is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families. Wen Qing was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to get along with Zhuang Xien's family. She had only been to his house once and didn't know his family very well. But forget it, she wasn't marrying his family.

As for whether or not to tell her family, Wen Qing was very hesitant. In her first year of college, she received letters from home and she also went back during the holidays. But after several years, she hasn't received any news.

Her family didn't care about her at all. When most of the educated youth had already returned to the city, they didn't even ask her if she wanted to go back to the city. This made her feel a little resentful.

After returning home, Wen Qing put aside all these thoughts, entered the space to collect the food in the space, and took some food to put in the front yard, waiting to take it to the granary of the winery tomorrow.

The space produces 30 catties of grain each quarter. Now the winery produces 15 catties of wine each quarter, which uses about 20 catties of grain and 2 catties of rice husks. When the winery reaches full capacity in the future, the grain may not be enough.

On the weekend, Wen Qing found Zhuang Xien, and the two discussed the competition arrangements and the rules of the competition one by one. They decided that the winners would be divided into 1st prize, 3nd prize, 5rd prize, and honors prize, which would be 10, , , and respectively. The prize money and prizes were not high.

Speaking of expenses, Zhuang Xien said: "The expenses of the bicycle race mainly include road cleaning, signs along the way, the cost of hiring traffic police, the cost of ambulances and medical staff, water and snacks at the supply points, medicines, and the license plates of the participants and the costs of staff.

I calculated that it would cost about 10 yuan, and the prize money would be 2 yuan, not counting the wine you provided."

Wen Qing said: "Let's sign a sponsorship agreement. I will be responsible for providing 10 yuan in cash and prizes for the winners."

Zhuang Xien said: "I will go and get sponsorship from others. If that doesn't work, our bicycle factory will sponsor it."

"Didn't the district sports committee say they were going to participate? Ask them to find a reporter to publicize it. It will be easier to attract sponsorship."

"How about we call our competition the Changxia Cup?"

In fact, it can also be called the "Xunda Cup", but since Changxia Winery has spent so much money, it still has to have some nominal benefits.

Registration for the competition was done at Schindler’s bicycle shop, and that’s how Schindler became famous.

Zhuang Xien smiled and joked: "You are a big money sponsor, of course you can."

"When the time comes, we'll hang Changxia Cup banners at the starting point and the end point to make them more eye-catching."

"Ok, Ok."

A few days later, Director Ye took the initiative to find Wen Qing and talked about the packaging equipment. Director Ye said: "I reported the issue of packaging equipment innovation to the leaders in the bureau. The leaders said that we can find manufacturers to conduct innovative pilot projects and develop new products."

Wen Qing listened quietly. This kind of innovation was not difficult. Just like the filling and capping machine designed by Wen Qing, it was made by herself and the school-run factory. Now it depended on which factory Director Ye chose.

Section Chief Ye stopped and asked, "Xiao Wen, which factory do you recommend for the pilot project?"

Wen Qing said: "Director Ye, I will listen to you."

Director Ye said: "We only have one packaging equipment factory in Sifeng, and two packaging material factories. We have no choice."

Finally, Director Ye chose the General Packaging Equipment Factory and asked Wen Qing to prepare the information first.

After Wen Qing came back from Xiangcheng, she investigated the development trends of the packaging industry and collected a lot of information.

In the afternoon, Director Ye took three employees from the Heavy Industry Department to the factory. It was a state-owned factory. It was not big, with only more than 300 people and an area of ​​about 2000 square meters.

The leaders of the factory took the visitor from the Industrial Bureau very seriously. The factory director and secretary both showed up. Director Ye told them the purpose of their visit. The secretary was a little hesitant, as product innovation is not easy and sometimes money is spent without seeing any results. However, the factory director Zhang Jianjun agreed immediately.

“Thank you for the guidance of the leaders of the Industrial Bureau. Please let me know if you need any cooperation.”
