Chapter 27: Small household appliances are listed

Taiwan and Singapore are among the Asian Tigers, and in '92, it was a period of rapid development of the Asian Tigers. The people's pockets are bulging, and their purchasing power is very strong

。 It should be a good choice to choose a store where wolf clothing is opened.

After Shen Danqing straightened out the affiliation of the enterprises under Changsheng Investment Group, Changsheng Investment Group was like a sailboat sailing on the sea, full of sails and sailing towards the other side of victory. No wind or wave can stop it.

Wu Aiguo and Wang Shuanglin were the first batch of technicians recruited into the company by Changsheng Seiko. Although they used to be product designers, they didn't really have the requirements of modern enterprise product designers. If you think about it, your previous businesses have gone out of business, so its products are definitely not very good! It was also their luck that came in when Changsheng Seiko was in the talent desert, and under the guidance of Shen Danqing's advanced concepts, they continued to grow. Until now, they have been fully equipped to take on the responsibilities of modern enterprise product design. The modular design idea of constant temperature and dust-free factory was put forward by Wu Aiguo, which has achieved remarkable results and greatly improved the work efficiency of the technical department. Therefore, when Peng Bin was promoted to the general manager of Changsheng Seiko, Peng Bin promoted Wu Aiguo to the head of the technology department. Opportunities are reserved only for those who can afford them. This wise saying is absolutely true.

After more than half a year, the technical work of the constant temperature and dust-free factory has been completed. The rest of the work is none of the technical department's business. So a few months ago the boss

The task of designing small household appliances fell on Wu Aiguo's head. Wu Aiguo was still at a loss for a while and didn't know where to start, so he planned to ask Shen Danqing hard.

Shen Danqing's office is on the third floor, near the far right of the corridor. The first thing he entered was the little girl's office and saw the little girl who was working hard. He knocked softly on the door. When I saw the little girl raise her head and saw him, she said: "Hello boss, my name is Wu Aiguo, I am the new director of Changsheng Seiko Technology Department, I have something to find the boss." Could you please help me convey that. ”

Today's little girl is no longer Wuxia Ameng, and she has long been familiar with people and things, and her temperament is noble and elegant. There is not a trace of a little girl in the countryside at all. She smiled at Wu Aiguo with a formulaic and friendly smile

said: "Okay, Minister Wu, you wait for a while" After speaking, he picked up the internal phone on the table and called Shen Danqing's office.

Wu Aiguo is already a middle-level cadre, and of course he will be allowed to see Shen Danqing. As soon as they met, Wu Aiguo first introduced himself: "Hello, boss! My name is Wu Aiguo, and I am the new head of the technical department of Changsheng Seiko. ”

"Oh, hello Minister Wu, do you have anything to do with me?" said Shen Danqing as he ushered Wu Aiguo to the guest chair and sat down.

After the two sat down, Wu Aiguo organized the language and said: "Boss, you arranged for us to design small household appliances in the first half of the year, because our technical department was busy with business at that time, so it was not carried out." Now that the technical department has been idle, as the new head of the technical department, this task has fallen on me. So I would like to ask the boss about your design philosophy for small household appliances. It is good to use it as a basis for our future design. ”

Shen Danqing listened carefully to Wu Aiguo's words, and said approvingly: "Very good, Minister Wu, I appreciate your work attitude. If you don't understand, you have to ask boldly. Small household appliances mainly refer to household kitchen equipment, including: rice cookers, induction cookers, range hoods, microwave ovens, electric kettles, narrow juice machines, water dispensers, coffee machines, disinfection cabinets, etc. Their characteristics are related to people's food hygiene and safety, so our first requirement for them is hygienic, environmentally friendly and non-toxic. It should also be simple and convenient to use, and it is best to solve it with one click. In addition, the most important thing is safety, all glass must use tempered glass to reduce safety accidents. Rice cooker liners and cooking pots must use non-toxic non-stick technology. Stainless steel must be made of the best materials. Engineering plastics should be used as plastic materials to increase the durability of the product. In addition, to integrate the minimalist aesthetic into the product, the appearance design is very important"

Shen Danqing saw that Wu Aiguo was taking notes seriously, so he paused for a moment before saying: "I only think about these for the time being, if you remember it, you will go back and discuss with everyone how to design an excellent product." The sample is trial-produced, and you will not give it to me until you are satisfied!"

Wu Aiguo saw that the boss had issued a send-off order, and hurriedly stood up to say goodbye to Shen Danqing.

When Wu Aiguo returned to the technical department, he summoned his technicians and explained to them Shen Danqing's design concepts and requirements. And the task was distributed, but he himself went to the library to look up the materials. The main reason is that Shen Danqing talked about the requirements of non-sticking pots, he still doesn't understand the principle, and he doesn't know what materials to use.

He spent several days searching, but could not find a single word of knowledge. At present, the whole world has only just begun to have this concept, and of course he has no information to find it. There was really no way, so he had to go to Shen Danqing again. Shen Danqing was also stumped, he had only used it in his previous life, but he didn't know what the material was. So he said to Wu Aiguo: "We have our own materials research institute, and I will let them study it to see if there is a way." ”

The Materials Research Institute was also very nervous when it received this task. You ask them to work on high-temperature materials, and there's a trace. However, the principle of non-stick pan is definitely not solved by high-temperature resistant materials, and can only be solved through material surface treatment. At the same time, DuPont invented the "Teflon" surface coating technology, "Teflon" is a popular name, its scientific name is "PTFE" is a chemical substance, this substance is very stable, and has surface self-lubricating properties, is an effective non-stick pan technology. But he has a disadvantage, the temperature of use cannot exceed 240 degrees, and acidic substances cannot be used. These two shortcomings are fatal. Later, the U.S. government banned the use of this material, advocating that American citizens use more Chinese iron pots. Using an iron pot to stir-fry vegetables is the most effective way for people to consume iron ions. Of course, the researchers at the Institute of Materials do not know about this situation, and they are not chemical researchers either. They observed the stir-fry in an iron pot and found that the cause of the dipping was uneven heating on the surface of the material. Iron pots are prone to rust because of the high activity of iron atoms. They go through different methods and are constantly experimenting. Finally, they found an effective surface treatment technology. They use ion sputtering technology, when the iron pot casting is still red-hot, using strong electromagnetic surface ion sputtering technology, so that the iron atoms are arranged more closely and delicately and purely, and this method solves the problem of neither rust nor sticking to the pot. Through experiments, the effect is extremely good, and there is no toxic effect.

Through this incident, Shen Danqing has a deeper understanding of the importance of basic material technology. He was determined to invest more in basic research.

Dingtian Law Firm, a subsidiary of Changsheng Investment Consulting Management Co., Ltd., applied for an invention patent as soon as possible.

Solving this big problem, there is no difficulty in designing small household appliances, they know that Shen Danqing's temperament is all good materials and exquisite craftsmanship. They tried to make a few samples and thought they were pretty good. sent it to Shen Danqing for him to try. Shen Danqing was not happy when he saw them imitating the ordinary appearance design of others. said to Wu Aiguo in a cold tone: "No need to try it, the appearance is too old-fashioned, there is no "future" element, artistic atmosphere." Let's watch more American science fiction movies first. The technical department also needs artists with rich imagination. I don't look at it, I hate it when I see too much. ”

Wu Aiguo came on the occasion of prosperity and returned in defeat. The technical department is naturally a chicken and dog jumping.

They really watched several American science fiction movies collectively, and the technical department was a bunch of science and engineering men, who were born with a lack of artistic cells, so Wu Aiguo asked the company's personnel department to recruit two art talents. Once that's done, the design starts again. Originally, it didn't take much time to change the appearance, but in order to do better, they changed it again and again. And each product has made multiple designs. Then through the internal trial, I didn't find any problems, and I found other employees in the company to try and appreciate. In the end, Wu Aiguo dared to use it for Shen Danqing to try again.

Shen Danqing was satisfied with the appearance of the samples this time, and each product has a futuristic sci-fi atmosphere and uses ergonomic principles. It may be the credit of those two new art talents. However, in the trial, he found many problems, such as the single performance of rice cookers, microwave ovens and induction cookers, and there is no function of cooking soup and steaming.

Another example is that the induction cooker is too light and easy to slide, etc. He explained them to Wu Aiguo one by one, and asked him to correct them again before they could be officially mass-produced. However, before mass production, you have to give the product a name, and you can no longer use the "precision" brand trademark, which is for mechanical and electrical products, Shen Danqing named the household appliance product "Love Home", the name is catchy and easy to understand, which is very in line with the temperament of the household appliance product.

It's still the same old routine, and the designs of these products have been patented. Never leave someone empty. This time, the products will be sold abroad through Hong Kong NB Trading Co., Ltd. This time, the product should emphasize the concept of healthy, non-toxic and non-stick rice cooker liner for this reason, Shen Danqing also specially called the person in charge of Hong Kong NB Company to explain it clearly.

Changsheng Seiko's "Love Home" brand small household appliances have been loved by customers as soon as they are listed. It has a futuristic sci-fi atmosphere and an ergonomic and thoughtful design. and the concept of healthy and non-toxic environmental protection

。 It is very suitable for the consumption psychology of people in developed countries. Even the United States, which has strict audits of imported products, has been smooth all the way. In addition, it should be noted that Changsheng Seiko's products are all high-end commodities and are not in the ranks of anti-dumping investigations.
