Chapter 87 Technical Transformation Competition

"Technical transformation game?" Cheng Changlin was stunned when he heard the words.

"That's right." Qin Gang nodded and said, "Didn't Duan Yun just refit an old-fashioned lathe? Even an old master and a new apprentice can make things together. Can't you design a better automated lathe with a team of engineers and technicians in the entire factory?"

"That's definitely no problem!" Cheng Changlin raised his brows and said.

"That's not it." Qin Gang raised his mouth and continued: "Duan Yun refitted an old lathe. You and the technical department can choose a new lathe with a higher starting point to refit, and then we can refit this new lathe. Openly set up a technical modification competition, and everyone can sign up. It’s a mule or a horse. I don’t believe that this kid can play any tricks without Han Zhong’s help. As long as you successfully modify the new machine, the factory will Everyone here naturally recognizes you, that Duan Yun will soon be forgotten by others, Lao Zhao, he can no longer use this kid to slap you in the face, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Director Qin, you are more thoughtful." Cheng Changlin said with a smile on his face.

Cheng Changlin has seen the lathe modified by Duan Yun before. Technically, it is not complicated. It is not difficult to convert the new lathe into an automatic lathe only by adding more workpieces and improvements.

"Also, you can't participate in this technical transformation competition." Qin Gang added again.

"why?"

"You are a dignified chief engineer, and directly challenged with an apprentice is too skillful and makes others seem a bit bullying." Qin Gang paused, then continued; "And even if you win the competition, other employees in the factory It seems to be a matter of course, there is no glory, but once you lose, I mean, if you do, you will lose your face too much..."

"Then what do you mean, factory manager?" After Cheng Changlin heard the words, he really felt that it was inappropriate for him to participate in this kind of technical competition, and then asked Qin Gang.

"The drawings and plans for this technical transformation competition are still designed by you and the members of the technical department, but the candidates who sign up for the competition...let Tian Feng come." Qin Gang said sternly.

"Forehead."

Cheng Changlin was stunned when he heard the words.

Qin Gang did this obviously because of his selfish intentions, but it was indeed a good plan.

On the one hand, Tian Feng himself is a professional technician. If he wins this competition, he will naturally help other technicians in the factory to save face and eliminate the factory employees' doubts about the technician's professionalism.

On the other hand, Tian Feng is Qin Gang's nephew. He obviously wants to take care of Tian Feng selfishly. The last time he copied Duan Yun's technical modification drawings has been spread in the whole factory. If he can win this competition, he will be able to completely wash away his previous 'injustice', and he will also be able to receive bonuses and honors, which will be very helpful for Tian Feng's selection of model workers and promotions in the future.

"Don't worry, Lao Cheng, if Tian Feng can use your technical transformation plan to win the competition this time, I'll let that kid send a lot of money to your house!" Qin Gang raised his brows and said.

"Hey, Director Qin, it's boring for you to say that. My wife and I have received a lot of care from you over the years. What's this little busy? Besides, I also want to do technical work for us professionals. It's just a fight for face..." Cheng Changlin said repeatedly after hearing the words.

Cheng Changlin really owes Qin Gang a lot of favors, and it is precisely because of this that since he served as the chief engineer of the factory, he has been on Qin Gang's side for many years, and he can be regarded as a person who repays his gratitude.

"Okay, you deserve this bonus. If that kid Tian Feng can restore his reputation this time, he will have to thank you for the rest of his life. What kind of bonus is that?" Qin Gang waved his hand and said, "You are here. Go back and prepare, I will organize the technical transformation competition."

"Okay, then I'll go first." Cheng Changlin smiled slightly, turned and left Qin Gang's office...

……

In the evening, Duan Yun rode his bicycle around the factory.

In recent days, although the business of the antenna has improved, the business of electrical maintenance in the factory has become less and less.

In the final analysis, a factory with [-] employees cannot support Duan Yun's long-term business of having a large number of door-to-door repairs of electrical appliances.

But Duan Yun didn't care, because he has now put his business on the side of selling and installing antennas, and the door-to-door maintenance business can be maintained by the Buddhist system.

In fact, Duan Yun pays more attention to the collection of customer information than the money he earns from door-to-door maintenance.

Through chatting with the householder, Duan Yun can figure out some of their electrical appliances consumption needs, which is also very helpful for Duan Yun to expand other businesses in the future.

Those complex electrical equipment Duan Yun naturally has no production capacity, and even if it can be designed, it can't get so many material parts and equipment, so Duan Yun can only use his brains on some simple small electronic equipment.

Some time ago, I saw that many households have electric fans. Unlike the cheap electric fans sold on the street stalls in later generations, this kind of electric fan is very conscientious in workmanship and the price is very high. It costs about 100 yuan to buy such a fan. It is 2 months salary of an ordinary worker.

The base of the aluminum alloy case.The iron blades and steel wires are very heavy to carry, unlike some electric fans of later generations, which are light and light, and will fail after a few years of use.Either the buttons are broken, or the blades are broken or there is too much dust and there is no wind. The manufacturers of later generations are pursuing more profits. Of course, they can't afford the 80s fans.

Due to the good quality, when Duan Yun came to repair electrical appliances during this period, he did not encounter a family who asked him to repair the electric fan, but Duan Yun thought of a way to make money.

In the user's home, Duan Yun found that most of these old-fashioned electric fans do not have a gear adjustment function, only a button switch, and the design is very simple.

In addition to electric fans, Duan Yun also found that when children from some families do their homework, most of the desk lamps they use also have no gears. Sometimes the lights are too bright or too dim, which will affect the children's eyesight.

This reminds Duan Yun of a small commodity called a household adjustable transformer in later generations. With this product, you can freely adjust the speed of the electric fan and the brightness of the desk lamp. In addition, there are many other uses. , is a very practical small appliance.

Moreover, the production method and materials of this household adjustable transformer are also very simple, and only small parts such as triodes, heat sinks, coils, and some adjustable resistors can be made by hand.

This kind of household adjustable transformer may not be as profitable as the antenna, but when the TV antenna business is not much, this kind of adjustable transformer, as a low-end and cheap commodity, can also make up for Duan Yun's current home repair electrical appliance business. The situation, and if it is widely promoted, it can also make a lot of money.
