49 Crane Machine (Kneeling for Recommendation)
For the next period of time, Xu Zhi has been focusing on Midea's company, and the drunken boxing part, which has been released in Nanyang for a while, is said to be very popular, and the RB market has just begun to land, and the results should not be bad.
After ten days of screening, the organization of Midea began to improve, and Lin Siqi was in charge of personnel on the administrative side, and an accountant Fang Ziwei was also hired, while the others were a group of engineers who were responsible for R&D and design.
On the morning of August 21, Midea officially started business, with the first day of work and the first day of meeting.
Xu Zhi sat at the front of the conference room and said to everyone: "Today is the first meeting of our Midea Electronics, I am a more casual person, and we don't have to be too restrained, this meeting has only one purpose, which is to develop a new product." ”
After speaking, Lin Siqi sent all the documents in.
Xu Zhi said: "You can take a look, our product is this box that is almost one person high, and then put the specified goods in this box, which has a movable claw on it, and there are several buttons on the outside, which can control the movement and grabbing of the claw, we can operate this mechanical arm to grab the goods below, of course, the probability must be set." ”
After listening to the following people, none of them took the initiative to speak, they were all the first day to come to the new company, although they wanted to perform, but no one was the first bird.
Xu Zhi smiled: "If you have any ideas, you can put them forward as much as possible." ”
A middle-aged man in his 30s asked, "What's the name of this thing?"
Xu Zhidao: "I plan to put some puppet dolls in it, so it's called a crane machine." ”
The middle-aged man's name is Huo Haiqing, an engineer of mechanical design, and said: "Xu Sheng, I have actually seen this product in RB before, but it is not a ragdoll doll, but candy, cigarettes and other products. ”
Xu Zhi smiled: "Yes, this is indeed not our creation, as early as more than 50 years ago there was this kind of product, but for a long time, this kind of machine has been used by casinos for gambling, the popularity rate is not high, but our company's product is not, this is a toy, adults and children can operate." ”
He said to Huo Haiqing again: "Since Huo Sheng has seen this kind of product, can you find a way to buy one back for research." ”
Huo Haiqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and ask my RB classmates." ”
Xu Zhi smiled: "Okay, if you can buy it, ship it by air immediately, don't care about this air freight." ”
In the early 20th century, there were already businesses in the United States that began to use similar toys, but the shape is completely different from the crane machine, but similar to an excavator.
But there is no probability of the excavator, it is all a dig and an accurate, the goods are dug more and the boss is distressed, and the customers pay a lot of money every time they dig less. As a result, merchants began to mix some useless things into their products, and at the same time reduced the cost of use for customers, but the effect has not been good.
After the 50s, similar products have appeared in some European and American fast food restaurants, some have used claws, but they are all mechanically controlled probability, and the products inside have also been replaced with candy, goods and even books, which have been all the rage, but the merchants have completely gone too far, and the probability is too low to cause a large number of customers to lose.
For a period of time, this kind of game only existed in various casinos, and some game currency and even cash were put in it, and it was extremely low-level, and everyone knew that there were a lot of cats in it.
Gamblers are crazy and impulsive, but not stupid, and they don't often fall for fools, so this kind of machine is completely declining.
In real history, the crane machine appeared in the RB in the mid-80s, and it swept the country in a very short period of time, and the doll toys that had been unsalable before were revived instantly because of the appearance of the crane machine.
Huo Haiqing nodded and agreed: "Okay, no problem." ”
Xu Zhi nodded, and said to everyone: "The products bought from outside can only be used as a reference, you still have to design a set by yourself, the main consideration is the reaction time, and there must be no detention time when manipulating, which will make people very unhappy."
Also, you have to think about probability control, my requirement is that we can limit the probability controllable space when we leave the factory, for example, we can set 15-30 times once, once we set it, the merchant can't change it, otherwise if they let them control it at will, I'm afraid that this group of people will want to adjust the probability to zero. ”
Wang Xing, who is in charge of operation, said: "If we have such a setting, then other companies will not have the same products in the future, which will probably be very unfavorable to our company." ”
Xu Zhi nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but I also do this for long-term consideration, if there is no such restriction, I am afraid that this group of merchants will only care about their immediate interests and ruin the industry."
My idea is that our product should be able to control the probability when it comes out, either up or down, or as you said, directly set the limit, which is our way out, and then decide according to the market situation, you have to deal with this possibility technically. ”
"I have a question. Electrical engineer Lin Xuefei said: "There is generally a certain degree of jitter when the motor starts, which will affect the claws below, if you want to avoid it, you can consider the German or RB motor, but in this case the cost will be much higher." ”
Xu Zhi said with a smile: "This is considered too early, you make the sample first, and the motor is RB, and the money should be spent." ”
"Good. Several people in the technical department nodded in agreement, now it is just an intention, no one knows what the problem will be if they don't get into the research and development, so they naturally agree.
Xu Zhi smiled with satisfaction: "I hope you will work hard, in addition, the shape of our products is mainly for women and children, so the color of the machine should be biased towards pink and color, which you should also pay attention to." If you have any new designs, you should also hand them over to Lin Siqi in time, she will apply for some patents, and everyone who buys an important patent will be rewarded by the company. ”
…………
After the meeting, everyone was busy going about their business, and in those days when there were no computers, let alone the complex 3D and 2D software of later generations, to design something, the entire drawing had to be drawn on a single piece of paper - perhaps taller than a person.
This requires extremely strong three-dimensional ability, and then imagining three views out of thin air in your head, and then drawing them.
Reconfirm, re-change
Reconfirm, re-change

"Brother Bang, you can enjoy it in the future!"
"Yes, Brother Bang gave birth to a powerful son, not only great at writing novels, but also making movies!"
A month ago, although Drunken Fist was released and exploded at the box office, the media's firepower was focused on the film's starring and director, but with Drunken Fist breaking records in Southeast Asia and RB, especially RB, the box office exceeded 1.5 billion yen, equivalent to 6 million US dollars. broke Li Xiaolong's record that year, and Chen Long became even more famous in RB.
Such a huge box office naturally represents a huge return for investors, and the investors behind Drunken Fist have also become the target of the media.
Before this, some insiders in the Xiangjiang film industry already knew Xu Zhi's secret, and the media knew the situation after a little asking:
A poor boy in Kowloon, in a few months, wrote a famous novel in Xiangjiang, and made a dark horse movie that broke out of Xiangjiang to break RB, the media estimated that the box office dividend of Drunken Boxing could at least exceed 10 million, which means that Xu Zhi started from scratch within a few months and earned 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
To put it simply: HSBC, which monopolizes Xiangjiang, has a profit of HK$600 million in 76 years, and Cheung Kong Industrial, the head of the five real estate tigers, made a profit of more than HK$50 million last year.
Because Xu Zhi's family moved, the media couldn't find anyone, so they asked everywhere, and everyone knew about the vegetable farm where Xu Hongbang was.
If you get rich secretly, it's better to be alone. But everyone knows, so they can only put on a show openly, and invite everyone they know to set up a table in the hotel, so the above scene appeared.
Xu Hongbang was surrounded by a group of people, constantly being complimented, and almost couldn't resist. And young people are more arrogant, they don't understand the hardships of society, and they can't afford to please Xu Zhi, only occasionally a few elders bring their children to politely say a few words, let Xu Zhi take care of him in the future, Xu Zhi does not refuse, but he refuses to leave any promises.
From ten o'clock in the afternoon, tossing to more than two o'clock in the afternoon, the hotel owner almost wanted to drive people away, and everyone slowly retreated.
Back at Taikoo Shing's home, Xu Hongbang said to Xu Zhi after resting: "Dazhi, just now a few friends told me privately that they want our family to lend them some money, you see......"
Xu Zhidao: "Dad, what do you think?" ”
Xu Hongbang said: "I think it's better to help if I can, they used to be in the same boat with me, and the relationship is still good." ”
Xu Zhi asked, "Do they have a lot of kindness to you?"
Xu Hongbang shook his head and said, "That's not true. ”
Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Then don't help, it's impossible to borrow money casually because they were colleagues before, it's impossible to say whether people are borrowing money or money, maybe one day we want them to pay back, and the benefactor has become an enemy." ”
Wang Hua also said on the side: "That's it, Lao Xu, you are too soft-hearted, today you borrowed a person, tomorrow there will be ten people to come again, you used to change so many boats when you were working on a sea boat, there are not a hundred but eighty good colleagues, everyone comes to borrow some, you are a bank in our family!"
Xu Hongbang was already upset, and he was counted down again, and suddenly said impatiently: "If you don't borrow, don't you borrow, why do you talk about me!"
Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "That's it, if these people are really in trouble at home, I can help if they are seriously ill or something, anyway, I mean to save the emergency and not the poor."
In the future, if our company's business grows bigger, we can also give their children a job, so you can talk to them about it, and you can tell them that your son is not filial and will not give you money, and they really want to borrow money, let them come to me. ”
Xu Hongbang sighed and said, "Then so be it!"
