Chapter 259 A New Year’s gift to Europe (Happy New Year to everyone! More updates!)

what?

For a moment, everyone in the conference room was dumbfounded.

Milian, who was originally proud, became uneasy.

"Sir, this is a perfect design! I believe its performance is definitely not inferior to that of a car! And its structure is far simpler than that of a car."

In fact, at the beginning, Li Yian's design was original. Milian felt that since it was a design, they must design a product with better performance, so they took it upon themselves to overturn Li Yian's original design.

"I don't deny that what you said is true. The current design is definitely more advanced and perfect than the original design, but..."

When faced with Milian's argument, Li Yian said calmly.

"What is this place? It's a maintenance shop. Is there any special equipment here to manufacture steering gears?"

"Is there any forging equipment to make drive shafts?"

If these equipments were available, why would there be a need to manufacture such a tricycle with a simple structure that could be used? Cars would have been manufactured long ago.

These people simply do not understand their intentions.

"Even this shed..."

Pointing to the cab on the drawing, Li Yian said directly.

"It is also completely unnecessary. The users faced by this kind of vehicle are people with very low education, or even illiterate people. What they need is to drive a simple vehicle, not a complicated one. This simplicity includes good sight lines. . And the cab definitely affects their vision."

What farmers want is not comfort, but practicality. As long as it is durable and can haul goods, this is better than anything else.

"If you use a grip steering, the basic operation is relatively simple and intuitive, and ordinary people can easily get started. Using a steering wheel not only increases the difficulty of manufacturing, but also requires some adaptation to the operation. How many turns are there, how many turns are there? How much, these all need to be learned. As for the transmission shaft, aside from the difficulty in production, in terms of maintenance, if the bearing is damaged, it needs to be replaced by a professional maintenance technician, but the belt drive is different. If the belt is broken, just replace the belt. Maintenance The difficulty and cost have dropped exponentially.”

Taking a deep breath and looking at the thoughtful engineers, Li Yian said.

"And such vehicles are easier to manufacture and more in line with the current level of technology. Gentlemen, please don't complicate simple things!"

"complication?"

Milian looked at the drawings that he thought were perfect and wondered.

"Sir, isn't it more advanced?"

At this moment, Li Yian couldn't even vomit, these people!

There is always the ability to complicate simple things, this problem needs to be cured!

"But our users need simple and cheap vehicles. Our production capacity also determines that our products must be simple and easy to manufacture. As for it..."

Looking at the drawing, Li Yian said.

"Wait, wait a few years, when customers need it, then make it an upgraded version of the agricultural tricycle!"

In fact, in another world, agricultural tricycles have also experienced such upgrades, from the initial grip rotation and belt transmission to steering wheel steering and transmission shaft transmission. Such upgrades are not just improvements in factory production technology, but they are actually The education level of drivers has improved.

But right now, it is not the time to put forward so many requirements. Comfort, effort saving, and environment are not important. What is important is that the vehicle can be simple, durable, easy to drive, and can transport goods.

"Okay, let's go back to the original design and let's redesign a tricycle that is most suitable for the current market!"

While feeling emotional, Li Yian looked at the calendar.

It's already the end of December.

Yes, the start of the automobile industry in Borneo has to be postponed until next year.

In the last few working days before New Year's Day, Li Yi'an did not leave Kota Kinabalu. Instead, he lay down in the machinery factory and took out the sketches that he and the engineers had agreed upon together in Kota Kinabalu last time.

This time, he didn't dare to be careless. It was right for these Germans to strive for excellence, but when it came to scoring.

In this way, until the agricultural tricycle that completely complied with Li Yian's intention was finally completed on the last working day of December 45, the basic design was completed.

Facing this agricultural tricycle with steering wheel steering and belt drive, Milian couldn't even accept it.

"Sir... Sir, such a crude car? Will anyone accept it?" Maybe it was because of the "perfection" before, but now he really doesn't like this thing, it is too crude.

"Of course!"

Li Yi'an said with a smile.

"Sometimes simple is the best. Our product principle right now is...not seeking the best, but seeking the simplest!"

simple!

Because simplicity can adapt to the current environment.

Not only Borneo, but also the vast markets of Asia, Africa and Latin America in the future. Back to Asia, Africa and Latin America. Even the infrastructure construction in European and American countries is very backward. Well-paved roads must at least be in cities and cities. Between the main roads, the countryside is filled with muddy roads.

Not only is the infrastructure backward, but the level of mechanical maintenance in the countryside is also backward. In this case, simplicity is the last word!

"Of course, it also has to be cheap enough!"

Picking up a rubber transmission belt, Li Yian said with a smile.

"A belt only costs a few cents. A few belts are better than a drive shaft costing dozens of yuan? Cheap is the way to go!"

……

Cheap is king.

This is a universal truth, not to mention in the 40s when poverty was widespread, but also in the st century. Pinxixi's sudden rise is based on cheapness.

Fake?

Stop being funny, everyone is just surviving. Who cares if it’s true or false?

On the eve of the New Year's Day holiday, in the noisy train carriage returning to Sandakan, the night train was idle. Li Nian was once again studying trans fatty acids there. No, it should be said that he was studying black technology and cruelty. live.

During this period, he has been studying these food technologies. After all, food profits are very high, especially in this era. As long as you dare to work hard, you will not have to worry about making money.

"Margarine, margarine, well, they're all based on ordinary vegetable oils..."

As a young man with a stomach who was born and raised under the sunshine of the new century, he has a profound understanding of black technology and hard work. Although he is not a food major, with the help of the 315 Party and the revelations, What a certain music blogger, he also has a certain understanding of black technology and ruthless work.

As an ambitious young man who aspires to enter the retail industry, including food products, Li Yi'an has been recalling how ruthless those jobs were.

In fact, I really don’t want to use the word ruthless. As a selfless and ambitious young man with a broad mind, if he cannot let the European people in this era, who are suffering from hunger and cold, enjoy technology and ruthless work, how can he be worthy of his tempered career? What about the iron stomach?

In line with the idea that good things should be brought out and shared with everyone, of course we must share them with the people of Europe.

"Canned starch... this can also be considered. If duck meat is used, the cost should be reduced a lot. No, Australian sheep meat seems to be cheaper. What about using mutton to synthesize it? Is there anything cheaper than mutton?"

In the next few hours, Li Yian kept gesticulating there, trying to find a product that was cheap enough.

After all, the New Year is coming. As a broad-minded and philanthropic person, I always want to benefit mankind, such as using the black stunts and hard work of the 21st century to let people in this era enjoy the shock of technology.

Artificial chocolate and margarine are just soup. The only thing that makes Li Yian feel a little bit disappointed is that the current oil palm industry in Borneo is not yet mature. Otherwise, the cost can at least be reduced.

It's a bit of a pity, isn't it?

But even so, Hex Black Technology can still let people of this era feel the shock of the times, or the intuitive experience that technology is the primary productive force.

Soon, within a few hours on the train, Li Yian had already produced more than a dozen black technology products, all of which were related to people's lives. Not to mention that they were not good for health, they mainly focused on one cheap thing, and they were all fast. People who are starving to death have black technology and hard work that can save their lives. At this time, there is really no need to force it.

Margarine, butter, that’s it. After all, black technology still needs some technical content, such as those that require a lot of additives and hard work. Now, although I want the European people to experience the food science and technology of the 21st century Shocking, but due to the backwardness of the chemical industry, this is the only way it can be done, but that doesn’t mean nothing can be done.

For example, you can write some articles on canned fruits. Reduce the cost of canned fruits by adding some common food additives, and then sell the low-cost canned fruits to Europe.

This is also doing a good deed.

This is a New Year's gift to the European people. How easy would it be for my own dignified boss to think hard and give them gifts on the eve of the upcoming New Year?

Just thinking about Li Yian was moved by him. This is the true spirit of internationalism!
