After listening to Gu Yu's explanation, Tang Yiqiu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that on the night of dinner in Xiaonanguo, Shanghai during the last summer vacation, Gu Yu asked Zhang Qian how to go to Tokyo to apply for a patent in Japan......

"Gu Yu, since this hydrophilic membrane is so expensive now, and all of it needs to be imported, if it is used to produce your water dispenser now, will the cost be too high, so that there is no market?" Tang Yiqiu said worriedly.

"Sister, there's no need to worry at all. I have two ideas right now. First, the water dispenser made of Sanlin's hydrophilic membrane, although the price is a little more expensive, but I estimate that the domestic high-end market is still acceptable. ”

Gu Yu explained: "Before the start of school and last few weekends, I went to Cibei County and Yaobei County next door to do research. At present, almost all the parts and components of Shanghai Aijier water dispensers are produced by private enterprises in townships and towns in those two counties......"

"A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring." Cibei County and Yaobei County in Gu Yu's mouth are the two counties with the most developed export-oriented industrial economy and township enterprises under Minghai City.

In the 80s, the wave of reform and opening up swept across the country, and in Cibei County and Yaobei County, large and small private enterprises sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. However, due to the low level of education and knowledge of entrepreneurs, enterprises soon faced problems such as lack of technology, and the booming township private enterprises urgently needed the support of scientific and technological talents.

In order to overcome difficulties, these township enterprises went to factories, universities and institutes in surrounding Shanghai and other big cities, and invited business backbones and technical experts to give guidance through various channels. At that time, workers were allowed to have one day off every Sunday. In order to give full play to what they have learned in socialist construction and help private enterprises tide over difficulties, these intellectuals took the initiative to give up the opportunity to rest on Sundays and go to enterprises to provide technical guidance. For this reason, they are also known as the "Sunday Engineers".

Since the beginning of the 80s, Cibei County and Yaobei County have taken the lead in implementing the development model of "four wheels turning together" of state-owned, collective, township, and private individuals, and a large number of "Sunday engineers" from state-owned enterprises in Shanghai have come to Cibei County and Yaobei County to help, invigorating the economy and enriching the people.

At present, Cibei County and Yaobei County have developed industries such as small household appliances and plastic molds, and almost all of the supporting parts and materials for water dispensers like Aijier are produced there......

Gu Yu continued:

"Sister, I probably investigated, an ordinary water dispenser is currently selling for about 600 yuan on the market. In fact, all the materials and parts in the water dispenser add up to a cost of about 200 yuan. Of course, if the purchase of materials and components is too small and not large-scale, the procurement cost will be much higher. Coupled with our imported hydrophilic membrane, our cost will be higher than that of the general water dispenser manufacturing factory. ”

"However, our ultrafiltration hydrophilic membrane anti-secondary pollution water dispenser is revolutionary, and I believe that after it is put on the market in the future, it will definitely cause great repercussions. With the improvement of people's awareness of drinking water hygiene and health safety, our water dispenser has unlimited business opportunities! ”

Tang Yiqiu nodded and said, "Well, if the effect is so good, even I want to buy one now." Indeed, this market is huge. ”

"Sister, I am also quietly designing a new type of heatless water dispenser, which is still in the stage of high secrecy for the time being. My strategy is to wait for our first hydrophilic membrane water dispenser to go on the market, and then apply for a new patent for this heat-free water dispenser and bring it to the market at the same time. At present, the speed of counterfeiting and counterfeiting in China is too fast......"

Gu Yu's explanation is meticulous and logical.

"Well, that makes sense." After listening, Tang Yiqiu couldn't help but look Gu Yu in front of him up and down again, and said with a smile, "Are you still the young boy I knew at the beginning with a hairstyle that killed Matt?" ”

"Hehe, people are always growing......"

"Gu Yu, then what do you need my sister to do for you now? Do you need funding, or some other resource? ”

"Well, of course the money for the investment is needed. But, sister, in addition to the money, we urgently need a factory of our own to produce these new water dispensers......"

"You mean we're going to invest in a factory floor that produces water dispensers?"

"Sister, I have such an idea. Didn't your second uncle open a mold plastic factory in the county development zone, I wonder if he has extra factory space there? Can we get him to work with us? ”

"Well, that's a train of thought. As far as I know, there are still a lot of factories for rent in the development zone, and factories are certainly not a problem. Gu Yu, the key is how do you want to cooperate? ”

"Sister, my idea is that I and you will first invest in a joint venture company A, and I will inject my patent rights and other intellectual property rights into this company A. Then our company A will find your second uncle to cooperate, if your second uncle is willing, our company A can set up a new company B with your second uncle, which is responsible for the production and manufacturing of water dispensers......"

"Hey, you still know these operating routines at such a young age?" Tang Yiqiu became more and more surprised after hearing this.

Gu Yu said with a smile: "Isn't this after trading stocks, I have seen too much and learned." I've never eaten pork, but I've always seen pigs run......"

Tang Yiqiu pondered for a while, then said to Gu Yu:

"Gu Yu, with all due respect, my second uncle is not the most suitable partner for you."

"Why, isn't his plastic mold factory doing very well?" Gu Yu said strangely.

"My second uncle is a big old man, primary school culture, processing, processing plastic mold products such rough work is okay, let him manage the electrical factory, I guess enough! And he sometimes likes to play mahjong and gamble, which I don't think is very suitable......"

"Sister, do you have any other good suggestions?"

Tang Yiqiu thought for a while and said, "I have such a candidate, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"Sister, just say it directly, I trust your vision."

"I have a male classmate named Huang Kaifeng in junior high school, and his character and reputation are very good. After graduating from junior high school, he was admitted to the city's industrial technical school to study electrical appliances. After graduating from technical school, I came back to work in a collectively-owned Dongfang Fan Factory in Ningnan County, which at that time mainly produced products such as Hongyun fans, which were once very popular......"

The year before last, the fan factory on the verge of bankruptcy was restructured, and Huang Kaifeng personally bought the small factory through a bank loan and renamed it Dongfang Electric Company. This year, I went to see his Oriental Electric Company, which is running very well, and it has turned a profit last year. The only problem of his company at present is that the product of Hongyun fan is aging and cannot keep up with the situation. At the moment, he is looking for a good product direction......"

Gu Yu listened: This world is really small, and the Huang Kaifeng in Tang Yiqiu's mouth is still an alumnus of the technical school in his previous life, a senior brother.

In his previous life, when Gu Yu returned to his alma mater to participate in the 50th anniversary celebration of the founding of Minghai Industrial Technical School, he also heard Huang Kaifeng's speech on the stage as a representative of successful entrepreneurial alumni. At that time, his Dongfang Electric Factory had transformed into the production of de-exhaust range hoods, although the scale was not particularly large, but it was already well-known in the industry......
