Chapter 388 The product that became popular in World War II
0392 Products popularized by World War II
The mention of Camel brand cigarettes opened Wang Liang's mind. He couldn't help but want to introduce some brands from World War I and World War II to everyone.

Wang Liang asked with a smile: "Swiss Army Knife is probably a term that everyone is familiar with, right? I believe that many military fans have collected a few. But do you know how this product became popular?"

The Swiss Army Knife is, as the name suggests, a Swiss knife.

It also has another name, the universal knife.

This product is a pocket knife that contains many tools of the Swiss Army Knife on one body. It is named after the Swiss Army equips soldiers with such tool knives.

The basic tools in the Swiss Army Knife are often: ballpoint pens, toothpicks, scissors, flat knives, can openers, screwdrivers, tweezers, etc.

"Because of the superior performance of the Swiss Army Knife, during the Second World War, the Swiss Army Knife was procured in large quantities by the United States and supplied to the U.S. Army Consumer Cooperative, the U.S. Navy, and the Air Force. Since then, this product has become famous all over the world." Wang Liang introduced.

"I still have a Swiss Army Knife made in the 34s in my house. I'll show it to you when I have time."

Wang Liang said with emotion: "The Swiss Army Knife has more functions than before, and some emerging electronic technologies have also been introduced into the Swiss Army Knife, such as LCD clock display, LED flashlight, USB memory disk for computers, lighters, and even MP3 players, etc. Wait."

Speaking of this, Fan Jianguo's eyes almost glowed green.

Naturally, he had his eye on the Swiss Army knives from World War II that Wang Liang was talking about.

Of course Wang Liang was happy to donate his saber to the museum.

Because, Fan Jianguo once stated: "After my death, the museum will be donated to the country."

Wang Liang knew very well that what this kid said was definitely not empty talk.

He knew his eldest nephew very well.

For the museum, Fan Jianguo invested all his hard-earned money, leaving nothing behind.

More than a billion, if you say it is smashed, it will be smashed.

Looking at Fan Jianguo's life again, it becomes more and more simple.

This is definitely not from a show, wearing clothes worth tens of dollars, smoking cigarettes worth more than 20 dollars, and eating takeaways worth more than ten dollars.

All he has left is a Domineering, an Audi and three properties that may be sold at any time for collections.

Taking drugs can kill a man.

Building a museum can kill a business.

Just based on this, Wang Liang admired it.

Wang Liang said again: "Motorola, everyone should be familiar with this brand, right?"

One of the Fortune [-] companies in the world, it is a leader in global chip manufacturing and electronic communications.

In 2009, Motorola began to use the Android operating system, and several Motorola mobile phones became the best-selling products on the Android platform.

It used to be all the rage.

Who would have thought that this product had already been put into use during the Second World War.

"At the end of [-], Galvin Manufacturing Company, the predecessor of Motorola, produced a five-pound AM walkie-talkie with a communication distance of one mile, or [-] kilometers."

"Later, the company developed a substitute with a longer communication distance and better antistatic effect. The figure of the American signal soldier carrying this walkie-talkie has become a classic image of World War II. Among the troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Army , also equipped with this walkie-talkie."

Wang Liang seems to have opened the door to a new world for everyone: "There is another brand that cannot be missed, and that is Zippo lighters."

To some extent, Wang Liang connected two things that everyone thought was impossible to connect.

This will inevitably collide with no small sparks.

"First of all, I am not advertising for Zippo. It is really easy to use. On the battlefield of World War II filled with gunpowder, in the storm, in the desert, and wherever soldiers need it, you can feel that Zippo is excellent. performance."

Wang Liang talked eloquently: "In the cold winter nights in the north, when your fingers are almost completely numb and you can't even pull the trigger, it can be used to light the life-saving bonfire."

On the battlefield that year, Zippo's superior performance was tested in actual combat.

Wang Liang can say without exaggeration that this thing has saved his life more than once.

"ZIPPO's hard shell can resist the collision of any material. On the battlefield, there are many things where Zippo blocks bullets for soldiers and saves their lives."

"ZIPPO can withstand any immersion test, even if it is completely soaked in water, its flame will still satisfy you. Because its strong, safe and reliable flame comes from the special liquid fuel it uses. "

"It can be easily ignited in any bad weather, and even stays on for a long time."

After saying these words, Wang Liang even felt a little regretful.

The Sino-US trade war is so loud, but I promoted Zippo instead, right?
There should be an endorsement fee.

"It is precisely because of its superior performance that ZIPPO became an American munitions product. When the Second World War broke out, American soldiers quickly fell in love with it. It was well-known among soldiers for its instant hit and excellent windproof performance. Even when it arrived Today, this product is still the royal lighter of American soldiers."

Wang Liang can also think of many products that were popular in World War II.

Rolex watches, Parker pens, Coca-Cola, nylon, Jeeps, Ray-Ban sunglasses
Perhaps many people find it incredible.

But history is what it is, full of charm.

Comment area.

"Let the old chief say that, it's like buying a Zippo lighter."

"It's suspected of forcibly inserting an advertisement, old chief."

"I also want to buy a piece to try. Is it so magical?"

"I'm more interested in the Swiss Army Knife."

"Old chief, I can understand that watches, pens, nylon and jeeps were popular in World War II. What does Coca-Cola say?"

"Am I the only one who is curious about Ray-Ban sunglasses? Did the American soldiers have one during World War II?"

Seeing that netizens had questions, Wang Liang answered: "Let me answer Ray-Ban sunglasses first."

"In my opinion, Ray-Ban sunglasses were one of the contributors to the Allied victory in World War II."

Wang Liang's words made many people confused for a while.

As we all know, Ray-Ban sunglasses are favored by stars and are a symbol of successful men.

Michael Jackson, superstar Beckham, Brad Pitt, Juliet Roberts, Hilton, Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau and other big names must-have equipment.

How did he become one of the heroes of the Allied victory in World War II?

Wang Liang made it clear: "In 1920, the U.S. Air Force commissioned Bausch & Lomb (an eye care company established in the mid-nineteenth century) to develop a special goggle for pilots to deal with the glare at high altitudes."
