Sail across the sea

Chapter 41 My Son Is Really Good

Contrary to what some people have speculated, Gao Yiping, the director of the fertilizer factory, is very clean and honest.Although it is inevitable for a factory manager to enjoy some privileges and occasionally accept some gifts, Gao Yiping has never been involved in corruption and bribery.

The Gao family is a dual-career family with only two children, so it is reasonable to say that they are relatively well off financially.But both Gao Yiping and Ran Yuying were born in the countryside, and both families have elderly people who need to send money to support them, so the life of the Gao family can only be said to be slightly better than the average family. difficult.

Gao Fan has noticed this problem since time travel.In his mind, since he occupied the body of his son, he naturally had to bear the obligations that should be fulfilled.I bring the crossing ticket with me. If I can't let my family live a prosperous life, I will feel sorry for the crossing ticket.

When he met Chen Xingquan by chance on the train, he had the idea of ​​using Chen Xingquan's power to accumulate the first pot of gold for himself.

Maolin is a province with a relatively backward economy. From officials to ordinary people, there is no strong awareness of commodities.As for Cangtang, a small county far away from the provincial capital, it is even more closed. It is very difficult for Gao Fan to make money in Cangtang.

Shuinan is a well-known frontier of reform and opening up in later generations, and the people in Shuinan are unparalleled in the world in doing business.A few conversations with Chen Xingquan made Gao Fan feel that this person should be able to cooperate, so he cast the bait of the paint formula, and finally caught a big fish.

He wrote a formula for antifouling paint to Chen Xingquan, together with the specific process of making the paint by hand, and asked Chen Xingquan to test the water first to see if there was a market for this product.He is [-]% sure that this product will be successful. However, it is prudent to do some market tests before investing money in mass production.

He was not at all worried that Chen Xingquan would never return with the formula.The production efficiency of manual preparation of this kind of paint is very low. Even if Chen Xingquan has mastered this technology, it will be difficult to expand the scale, and he can only earn a few hard dollars.If you want to make a lot of money, you must invest in equipment for mass production, and the process of mass production is still in the hands of Gao Fan.

Gao Fan is confident enough that no one will be able to crack the tricks of this technology in a short period of time.If Chen Xingquan betrayed Gao Fan, Gao Fan would at best find a new partner, and then he could easily squeeze Chen Xingquan out of the market.

Gao Fan didn't tell Chen Xingquan about this point, but Chen Xingquan was a fool, he naturally knew that Gao Fan still had further technology in his hands.However, after Gao Fan's flood of brainwashing education, Chen Xingquan has completely cast his eyes on Gao Fan now, and he absolutely dare not have the idea of ​​starting anew.

While waiting for Gao Fan to write the formula, Chen Xingquan was entrusted by Gao Fan to go to Luping City, the regional capital, to help Gao Fan purchase rice cookers, double-tub washing machines and bicycles.The sum of these items cost more than 800 yuan, and Gao Fan used up the dividends Chen Xingquan sent him, leaving only a fraction.

Chen Xingquan said verbally that he would pay the money, but Gao Fan refused to accept it, so Chen Xingquan gave up. More than 800 yuan, after all, is not a small amount of money. If Chen Xingquan pays by himself, the financial relationship between the two people will be unclear.

Gao Fan asked Chen Xingquan to buy a washing machine, which surprised Chen Xingquan.He had seen Gao Fan so calmly when he received the money before, and he had guessed that Gao Fan's father might be a big greedy person, and the Gao family must not be short of money.Now that I heard that the Gao family does not have a washing machine, I know that the Gao family's financial situation is not very good.

In this day and age, washing machines are of course still a luxury, but wealthier families can afford them.At least, Chen Xingquan's family already has a washing machine, which means that Gao's family's economic situation should be inferior to Chen Xingquan's.

Gao Fan bought the rice cooker and washing machine to ease Ran Yuying's housework burden.Since the 80s, Chinese families have been equipped with more and more electrical appliances, but the washing machine has the greatest impact on Chinese families.In later generations, a new family can temporarily have no refrigerator and color TV, but it cannot live without a washing machine.

From the memory of his previous life, Gao Fan knew that his parents had discussed the issue of buying a washing machine, but because they did not have enough money, they did not implement it for a long time.The family did have some savings, but according to Ran Yuying, the money was reserved for Gao Fan to go to college.

In case Gao Fan can get into a good university, he needs to buy some clothes, bedding, etc. if he wants to go out to study in the province, which will cost a lot of money.At this time, how could Ran Yuying be willing to spend two hundred yuan to buy a washing machine?

As for the rice cooker, it was not even included in the plan.This thing can be said to be expensive but not beneficial. It seems that no family in the whole factory has ever bought a rice cooker.

Because of this, seeing that Gao Fan bought the rice cooker and washing machine without asking for instructions, and the washing machine was not a common single-cylinder model, but a double-cylinder model, Ran Yuying felt a little distressed.

A single-tub washing machine is 200 yuan, and a double-tub washing machine is 450 yuan.It is too wasteful to spend an extra 250 yuan just for one more dehydration function.What's the problem with twisting the clothes by hand after washing?It is said that dehydration is also easy to damage the clothes. Why did this prodigal son buy a double-tub washing machine?

"Mom, this is the first time I've made money. After making money, I should buy two electrical appliances to honor you. With a rice cooker, you can save trouble in cooking, and you don't have to worry about accidentally burning the rice." Burnt. The washing machine is more important, especially in winter, the water here is so cold, with the washing machine, you don't need to use cold water." Gao Fan said.

"My son is so good." Ran Yuying was immediately moved. If she hadn't been holding two bags of dried cuttlefish in her hand, she would have wanted to go up to hug her son, and rub the top of his head as a show of favor. drown.

The resentment about her son's waste of money disappeared at this moment, and she just pretended to be angry and said: "You don't need to buy a washing machine with two cylinders, a single cylinder is enough."

Gao Fan said with a smile: "Mom, you are inexperienced. In fact, for us southerners, the most important function of the washing machine is not to do laundry, but to dehydrate. Think about it, when it is raining continuously, the clothes are hung in the room. It won’t work for days. If it’s been dumped, it’ll work much faster.”

"Really?" Ran Yuying turned from anger to joy, "Xiaofan, how do you know so much? No one has ever said this before."

"Isn't this what I saw in the book?" Gao Fan said in a concealed manner.

"My son is such a genius!" Ran Yuying exclaimed.

The mother and son were showing their love, Gao Min couldn't listen anymore, she yelled: "Okay, okay, your son is a genius, and your daughter is a fool. But geniuses can't be eaten. You geniuses are not hungry, I'm already hungry, idiot!"
