"The competition of technical transformation?" Cheng Changlin was stunned when he heard this.

"That's right. Qin Gang nodded and said, "Isn't Duan Yun just modifying an old-fashioned lathe? Even what a master and a new apprentice can make together, it means nothing more than that, can't you design a better automated lathe with a chief engineer and technicians from the whole factory?"

"That's definitely no problem!" Cheng Changlin said with a raised eyebrow.

"That's not it. The corners of Qin Gang's mouth hooked, and then said: " Duan Yun he is modifying the old lathe, you and the technical department can choose a new lathe with a higher starting point for modification, when the time comes, we can openly set up a technical transformation competition on this new lathe modification, everyone can sign up, is a mule is a horse out for a walk, I don't believe that kid without Han Zhong's help, what tricks can he play, as long as you modify the new lathe successfully, everyone in the factory will naturally recognize 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 speaking, it is not complicated, only need to add more workpieces and improvements, you can convert the new lathe into an automatic lathe, the difficulty is not high.

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

"Why?"

"You are a chief engineer, and it is too embarrassing to compare skills with an apprentice and make others seem to be a bit bullying. Qin Gang paused, and then said, "And even if you win the game, it will be a matter of course in the eyes of the other workers in the factory, and it will not be glorious, but once you lose, I mean if you do, your face will really be too big at that time......"

"What do you mean, factory director?" After Cheng Changlin heard this, he really felt that it was indeed a little 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 signed up for the competition ...... Let Tian Feng come. Qin Gang said.

"Uh. ”

Cheng Changlin was stunned when he heard this.

Qin Gang did this, obviously he still had his own selfishness, 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 technical workers in the factory to save face and eliminate the factory workers' doubts about the professionalism of technical personnel.

On the other hand, Tian Feng is Qin Gang's nephew, he obviously wants to take care of Tian Feng selfishly, the last time the plagiarism of Duan Yun's technical transformation drawings has spread throughout the factory, and he is now a little unable to raise his head, and if he can win this competition, he can completely wash away the previous 'grievances', and he can also get bonuses and honors, which will be very helpful for Tian Feng to select model workers and promote in the future.

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

"Hey, Director Qin, it's not interesting for you to say that, my lover and I have also been taken care of by you a lot over the years, this little favor is nothing, not to mention that I also want to win back face for us professional and high-tech people......" Cheng Changlin said again after hearing this.

Cheng Changlin does owe Qin Gang a lot of favors, and it is precisely because of this that since he served as the chief engineer in this factory, he has been on Qin Gang's side for many years, and he can be regarded as a person who knows how to repay his kindness.

"Okay, this bonus was originally what you deserved, if that kid Tian Feng can save his reputation this time, he will also have to thank you for a lifetime, what is that bonus. Qin Gang waved his hand and said, "You go back and prepare, I'll organize the technical transformation competition." ”

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

......

In the evening, Duan Yun rode a bicycle around the factory area.

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

In the final analysis, it is impossible for a factory area with 3,000 employees to support Duan Yun's long-term business of repairing a large number of door-to-door electrical appliances.

However, Duan Yun didn't care, because he had now put his business on the side of selling and installing antennas, and the door-to-door maintenance business could be maintained by the Buddha for a while.

In fact, compared with the money earned by Duan Yun's on-site maintenance, Duan Yun attaches more importance to the collection of customer information.

Through chatting with the householders, Duan Yun was able to set out some of their electrical consumption needs, which was also very helpful for Duan Yun to expand other businesses in the future.

Duan Yun naturally has no production capacity for those complex electrical equipment, and even if he can design it, he can't get so many material parts and equipment, so Duan Yunzhi can use his brain on some simple small electronic devices.

Some time ago, Yun saw that many families have electric fans, and the cheap electric fans sold on the stalls in later generations are different, this kind of electric fan workmanship is very conscientious, the price is also very high, buy a fan like this for about 100 yuan, is an ordinary worker 2 months' salary.

Base with aluminium housing. Iron blades and steel wires are very weighty to move, unlike some electric fans in later generations, which are light and fluttering, and they will have problems in a few years. Either the button is broken, or the blade is broken or there is too much ash and there is no wind, and the manufacturers of later generations are pursuing more profits, of course, they can't afford to do this kind of fan in the eighties.

Because of the very good quality, when Duan Yun came to repair electrical appliances during this time, he did not meet a family that asked him to repair electric fans, but it made Duan Yun think of a way to make money.

In the user's home, Duan Yun found that most of these old-fashioned electric fans have no gear adjustment function, only one button switch, and the design is very simple.

In addition to electric fans, Duan Yun also found that when some children go to school in school, most of the desk lamps they use are also ungeared, and sometimes the lights are too bright or too dim, which will affect the children's eyesight.

This reminded Duan Yun of a small commodity called household adjustable transformer in later generations, with this kind of product, you can freely adjust the speed of the electric fan and the brightness of the table lamp, in addition, there are many other uses, it is a very practical small electrical appliance.

Moreover, the manufacturing method and materials of this household adjustable transformer are also very simple, only small parts such as transistors, 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 there is not much business in TV antennas today, this adjustable transformer, as a low-end and cheap commodity, can also fill the situation that Duan Yun's current door-to-door maintenance electrical appliance business is not in good shape, and if it is promoted in large quantities, it can also make a lot of money.
