Chen Qiao is just a very ordinary farmer, his family has these acres of land, and he will spend some time planting seedlings and harvesting every year, and at the same time, he will also do some side jobs with some small contractors, and he can earn more than 100 a day, and in a lucky year, 350,000 yuan a year is still not a problem.

In the last few days, although the weather has been fine, he has not been at work, thinking about painting the fence around his house.

As for the choice of color, after the unanimous agreement of the people in the family, they are willing to choose medium gray.

Since he rarely uses paint, he drove his motorcycle around and found a paint shop in the town not far from him.

But as soon as he entered the door, he noticed that something was wrong.

Then he went back and walked out the door and looked up at the sign of the paint shop.

"Powder coating"?

Chen Qiao had never heard of this thing, but since it was paint, it should be the same as paint.

Sometimes people are very strange, you say he is lazy, sometimes he is very diligent, you say she is diligent, sometimes he is very lazy.

Now Chen Qiao is in such a situation, although he doubts that he can get something when he goes in, but he doesn't want to go to some other paint shops.

So she walked into the shop, called the boss, and the owner of the shop walked out of the room.

"What lacquer do you want?"

"I want to buy a little paint and paint the walls of my house. ”

"What color do you need?"

"Gray, that is, the kind that is neither black nor white, has a little bit like the color of cement, and that's fine. ”

"Cement ash, you wait, I'll look for it. ”

The owner, probably a man with poor eyesight, walked over to the wall and leaned in to see the logos on the cardboard boxes.

"That's it, cement ash, fortunately there's a ready-made one, so I don't need to adjust it again.

How much do you want?"

Now Chen Qiao was asked, he didn't know how much he wanted, and he couldn't say clearly, how much paint was needed to paint all the walls around his house?

The fence of my house is not the stainless steel that is very common now, but the kind of cast iron that used to be very honest, and because it is relatively old, it is covered with rust spots.

It looks very old, but yesterday he had brushed all the main body with an iron brush, but it still looked rusty, and it didn't look very comfortable, so he was going to brush it with paint.

And Chen Qiao was very puzzled, is this carton filled with paint? He has never seen paint packed in a cardboard box, either bucket by bucket, or bucket by bucket, this is just a difference in the size of the bucket.

"I don't know how much? But are you paint?"

The shopkeeper's expression seemed a little impatient, he had already explained to many, many people in the past few days, and he had to explain it again every time someone came.

Now he feels very regretful, he knew that he didn't listen to the so-called salesman's foolishness, and there were a lot of people who asked, but there were not many people who bought, and many people shook their heads after asking, and then walked out of the store.

It is not known whether these investments will be recovered.

"Our thing is the same as paint, both can be painted, you tell me first how much area you need to paint?"

"A fence. ”

The concept was too general, and the shopkeeper touched his head and didn't know how to reply.

"Is your fence stainless steel, and is there a big gap in the middle?"

"It's the kind of artistic wall that used to be, it's been many years, and it's probably cast iron. ”

"How high and how long is your wall?"

"The wall is about 200 meters long, and the height is 1.4 meters. ”

"Then take one, it's not too much, you can come over and get a little bit less, according to my estimation, it shouldn't be less. ”

The shopkeeper selected a piece of paint from the side, and then opened the package directly, which made Chen Qiao very uncomfortable, you sold me something, it should be me to unpack it, why did you unpack me?

"You don't need to dismantle it, I'll just go back and dismantle it myself. ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Chen Qiao.

"Our paint is a new type of paint, so I have to take the package apart and give you some of the tools inside.

Otherwise, you will not be able to spray at all, although our spraying method is not much different from the spraying method of paint, but there are some details to pay attention to. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper took a spraying tool from the shelf next to him, and then looked at the various utensils in the product box to explain its purpose and when it was added.

"You're a lot more troublesome than paint. ”

"This is cheap, the quality is good, this thing is much better than naïve, I have personally done experiments, and I went to their company for training, I really understand this product, it is indeed more than the requirements, so I did this agent.

Can you come with me to see how well the guardrail I painted with this paint works?"

The manager took Chen Qiao to the front of the store.

There are a lot of parapet chairs here, which are painted with what kind of paint, and they are all painted with this model.

I think you should have used paint, know what the paint is like after half a month of paint painting in a paint factory, it is still relatively easy for us to scrape off with our fingernails, but you look at our paint, can you scrape it off with your fingers now?

Don't say that you use your fingers to scrape with a key, you can only scrape off a shallow layer on it.

As she spoke, the shopkeeper pulled her key out of her pocket and scraped the coating directly with the tip of the key's teeth.

The result was really just as he said, with only a shallow white mark on the entire layer, and no substrate could be seen.

This is enough to prove that this coating is relatively excellent, and the detection of powder coating at this stage, for ordinary people, is generally to use the tip of the key to scrape the coating.

Best-case scenario, the layer is only worn off by the shallow layer on top.

Of course, the strength of this store is also relatively moderate, and there is no great strength, and there is no very little strength.

But this paint is obviously better than ordinary paint, this is for sure, because ordinary paint can be scraped with a key, and it can be scraped off lightly, of course, this is definitely not referring to baked paint.

Baked paint, similar to a car topcoat key, is difficult to scrape.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Chen Qiao still bought this coating, and the price is not very high, a powder coating, 20 kilograms, only 480 yuan.

If it is 20 kilograms of paint, a slightly better one will cost thousands of yuan, but the main reason for buying it is not because of the low price, but because the store said that this powder coating basically has no taste, and it can be diluted with water.

The store explained that this paint is environmentally friendly, has no smell, does not have any damage to the body, is not like paint, not only the smell is violent, making people smell sick, but also the damage to the body is also very large.

To be honest, if this was put a few years ago, Chen Qiao sneered at it, a little taste is nothing to the body, as long as I don't see it immediately, it's nothing, it's good to make money, he also thought about being a painter before, after all, the salary of a painter is relatively high, in order to survive, the body can be in the back row.

But in recent years, both on TV and on their own children, they often talk about this issue.

In the past year or two, he has often paid attention to his body and various health regimens.

The biggest reason is because I have lived a good life, and I have begun to pay attention to something deeper.

When he got home, he couldn't wait to get used to this new type of paint, and although he was now older, he still had a certain curiosity about new things.

Of course, it is undeniable that he has a little bit of a desire to show off, after all, he must be the first person to use this paint around his house, so in the future, whether it is to explain to others, or other people use this paint, he can pretend, or show his knowledge, or show his knowledge.

Not to mention, it's quite convenient to use this tool, and the amount of loss is relatively small.

Although I just listened to the explanation of the store, it seems that it is more troublesome to use, but when I really use it myself, I was a little cautious at first, but I slowly found that in fact, the difference with paint is not too big, but the proportion needs to be adjusted when adding.

The color chosen by Chen Qiao is gray flat light, and you can't see anything when you just put it on.

There seem to be some potholes on the surface, which is not very good-looking, and it is even said that there are some ugly ones, which makes Chen Qiao regret a little, because if it is such a surface, then it is not as good as paint.

According to the shopkeeper, his change is going to last for a day, so there is only a matter of waiting.

He couldn't wait to get up early the next morning to see how well the paint on the wall worked.

It's really beautiful, the luster is not very high, and the surface looks like that, flat, although there are some small unevenness, but for the Long family, it is completely acceptable.

But at the same time, he had a sigh in his heart, yesterday the store told him to pay attention, don't get drenched in the rain, if it is an outdoor painting, you must choose a good weather, but he didn't pay attention to the weather yesterday, after the painting was completed, it was close to the evening I don't know, because he was too tired, or because of something else, he didn't look at the weather forecast.

But fortunately, there was no dew last night, otherwise such a good layer of paint would have been drenched again.

In the countryside, there is often such a situation, if it is a rest, everyone will involuntarily gather in a certain family, this family, because it is easy to get along so many people are willing to come here to drink tea and chat.

Chen Qiao's home is actually this kind of family, because the two of them have very good tempers and are very good at talking, so if there is nothing to do, some women and men around will come to their house to drink tea and chat.

Today, as soon as others came, they found that the walls of their houses, the color of these guardrails had changed, and they used to be black, red, black, and red, which looked ugly.

But the colors have obviously changed today, and it's not pretty, but it's still much better than before, and at least the fence looks new and can be considered a façade decoration.

So when a group of people sat down to chat, they also mentioned this in passing, and slowly led to powder coatings.

Everyone doesn't know about powder coatings!

So Chen Qiao also started to feed a group of neighbors to introduce this powder coating with a little red light, although he also knew nothing.

"It's a new type of paint called powder paint. ”

Does it feel like something is wrong? and then glanced again, yesterday's box.

"Powder coating"

"This stuff is much better than a game, it's very environmentally friendly without any smell at all, isn't it advocating for environmental protection now!

You see, now our garbage is no longer allowed to be burned privately, and all kinds of garbage must be classified, and then special people will come to collect it.

My son often says that this is the progress of the times, this powder coating, this is a very advanced coating.

Originally, I was also going to use paint, but when I thought about the recent national promotion of environmental protection, I wondered if there was a more environmentally friendly paint to try.

The result was really found by me, you can also try it in the future, if anyone doesn't know how to use it, you can come and ask me, I know!

……

……”

And then everyone, you ask me what is going on with this paint?

This really satisfied Chen Qiao's show-off psychology greatly, and he even ate an extra bowl of rice at noon.

This kind of thing happens in many places, although it happens in different places, at different times, and in different ways.

But it has to be said that the layout of Zhimei new materials has undergone a fundamental change.

More than two months ago, Zhimei New Materials basically reached the point of exhaustion, and the number of orders became smaller and smaller, and basically the domestic order volume fell by more than 80%.

The growth of foreign orders is very slow, and although the profit margin is relatively high, it can basically maintain the normal operation of 13 companies.

Chen Ying basically belongs to the kind of person who is in a hurry, and Zhang Xiaofan is also very angry, he didn't expect an industry to be so targeted.

I don't know who started it, and I don't know who led it, but it seems to be very hidden anyway.

Of course, this must be caused by the same industry in the paint industry, and hundreds of famous manufacturers can join forces.

However, there must be a leader for such a thing, and Zhang Xiaofan did not dig it out through many relationships.

So after thinking about it at a meeting, Zhang Xiaofan finally came up with a way to surround the city from the countryside.

The method used by the great man is very practical, and more than two months have passed, and the effect has been fully revealed.

Of course, the main reason is that because of Zhimei new materials, the development of new products is nearing the end, and it can basically be applied to ordinary coatings.

Because the requirements for the appearance of products in rural areas have not reached a very demanding level, so now this new product that is nearing the end can basically meet the requirements.

Zhang Xiaofan proposed to promote it in rural areas.

There is no franchise fee, and you can even advance money to these stores, of course, if you advance money, the price of the product will definitely be much higher, at least 15% higher.

Since Zhang Xiaofan made a lot of money in the past two years, even if it is an advance, it basically meets the current capital needs.

To be honest, Chen Ying was against it at the time, because Chen Ying believed that the amount of paint used in rural areas was very small, let alone powder coating.

Then Zhang Xiaofan thought that this was an opening that they could open at present, and even Zhang Xiaofan asked the design department to reduce the name of the packaging company very much.

There are even some developed regions where only the trademark is retained, and even the company name is removed.

Of course, this is only a strategy for a very short period of time, just to prevent others from encircling and intercepting in rural areas.

After two months, the effect miraculously changed dramatically.

It's not that the output is large, I'm Zhang Xiaofan said that the brainwashing propaganda taken has worked.

It is mainly borrowed from recent policy changes.

14 years and 15 years, it was a very big year of transformation.

In the past two years, the call for environmental protection has suddenly been continuously promoted by the media.

And more and more red-headed government documents emphasize environmental protection, and all kinds of slogans have begun to emerge.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaofan's idea is to focus on environmental protection, but he must say it more bluntly, because this can be more acceptable to the people.

It has no smell, it is better than paint, and it is a new high-tech product.

Grasp these points, and then through brainwashing training, and then let these trained personnel disperse all over the country, and then let them develop the downline.

As a result, many people similar to Chen Qiao slowly began to understand powder coatings, accept powder coatings, and use powder coatings.

Judging from the feedback from various regions, Zhang Xiaofan has really succeeded.

And the production has slowly recovered to 30% of the previous production.

Although the profit margin of this product has begun to decrease, the gross profit is less than 50%, compared to the previous gross profit of 70% to 80%, which is obviously a lot less.

But Zhang Xiaofan knows that it is 50% gross to the touch, and the profit is already very high, and slowly with the increase in production, the gross profit will be further compressed.

Then there is only one way to go in front of Zhang Xiaofan, continue to deepen the penetration of rural areas, and let the influence of powder coatings in rural areas further affect urban areas, thereby affecting the use of paint or powder coating enterprises.

When there is demand, there will be a market.

But now this market is facing a very big problem, that is, the problem of color grading.

There is a very big difference between powder coatings and paint coatings, and that is the difference in color mixing.

Many people know about paint and coatings very well, and the debugging is very simple, after mixing the two colors, you can get another color with a little stirring.

It's not so easy with powder coating.

If two different powder coats are mixed together for spraying, then there will be some mama dots, instead of using paint, the whole layout is one color.

Therefore, when this new product was developed, Zhang Xiaofan immediately divided half of the technical staff to carry out the research and development of a new project, that is, how to make the color mixing of powder coating very simple.

Just prepare a few very simple colors, such as black, white, red, blue, yellow, gray, and you can use these colors to make the colors you need.

Zhang Xiaofan gave a very simple and practical method to the technical department.

That is, the particles of the powder coating are made very, very small.

At present, the particle size of powder coatings on the market is generally maintained at about 30 microns, which is very reasonable.

Because when it comes to paint, you have to consider its gravity, electrostatic force, and the aerodynamic force emitted by the spray gun.

These three forces are the forces experienced by powder particles when spraying, so after many generations of painstaking research by technicians, it has been summarized that about 30 microns is a very reasonable particle size.

But now, in order to make powder coating very easy to debug, then it is necessary to reduce the particle size of these powder coating particles, and when these particle sizes become very small, if the powder coating products of two colors are mixed together for spraying, there will be no pitting.

This is mainly because these particles have become smaller, making it difficult for the human eye to see these tiny dots.

But anyone who has done powder coating knows that if the powder particles are too small, then the whole powder coating will appear very cotton, so when it can not be sprayed, because the powder particles are less than five microns, so it is very easy to drift into the air, so that the powder coating can not be sprayed.

But now this new type of powder coating, Zhimei new materials research and development does not have this problem.

Because the way this new powder coating is sprayed has changed, fundamentally changed.

Electrostatic spray guns are no longer used, so there is no need for these powder particles to escape into the air, contaminate the air, or make it impossible to spray.

This new type of powder coating uses a combination of water and organic matter as a solvent, which is very close to the way paint is sprayed.

However, there are still many problems with this small particle size powder coating.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xiaofan wants to divide half of the technical personnel to solve this problem. If you want to talk about "Paint Kingdom" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
