This society is indeed realistic, in the eyes of some bigwigs, if a wild man like Chen Can, who is engaged in technology, is of little use to himself, the distance between the two will be opened in an instant.

After this meal, Vice Mayor Chen's figure also completely disappeared from Chen Can's sight.

Even Huang Jiang never mentioned that person in front of him again.

Although Huang Jiang's attitude towards Chen Can does not seem to have changed, he is still fully delegated.

But Chen Can always felt that the other party no longer trusted him as much as before.

For example, in the two project teams engaged in by Chen Can, Huang Jiang personally stuffed in the two deputy team leaders.

Huang Jiang explained very politely that Chen Can is usually too busy alone, and these two are here to assist him, and the other main choices are decided by Chen Can.

Chen Can didn't say anything, but he always felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, at this time, the second wireless factory is thriving, all the workers are positive, and there is no struggle for power and profit in the factory.

At least Chen Can didn't notice it at the moment.

Of course, even if there is a day, he does not have to worry.

With the help of the two deputy team leaders, he also had a lot of worries, and the affairs of the project team were basically handed over to those two.

Chen Can only needs to learn about the progress of the portable radio project every two or three days, and the rest of the time, he lives a leisurely life every day as a newlywed, so happy!

Indeed, this kind of day is quite good.

At this time, some places in the south were already restless, and the sprouts of reform and opening up were recovering.

But in this place in the Northeast, ten years like a day, everyone goes to work, gets off work, drinks and farts, and nothing has changed.

The only thing that has changed is that this year, the efficiency of many factories has begun to deteriorate, and there are more street slippers.

But these have nothing to do with Chen Can, his little life is very beautiful.

Zheng Juan's belly is also growing day by day, he works in the wireless factory in the morning, and walks home in the afternoon to do some side jobs.

Several children in the family are also obedient, especially Guangming, although this little guy is a little older, he has also started reading in the first grade.

However, his perceptiveness is extremely high, and he has now reviewed the knowledge of the fourth grade of elementary school.

Last semester, he was firmly in the first place in his age, and Chen Can already had plans to go to school next year to talk to the principal, let Guangming skip a grade, and go to school with his peers.

As for his sideline job of electrical maintenance, his fame has already been opened now, and he doesn't worry about business at all.

Before, Xiao Guoqing ran the business, and he was so busy every day that his feet didn't touch the ground, but now Cao Debao and Sun Catch-up have also joined in, and this small group has basically taken shape now.

Chen Can also had a surprise training with a few people, and the age of the three of them is actually not very old, at the age of twenty-four or five, it is not very difficult to learn things at this age.

But some people are born to work as coolies, such as Xiao Guoqing and Sun Catch-up.

These two people are simple-minded, just a tendon, a simple radio, Chen Can taught them for half a month, and they just can't understand the working principle.

Fortunately, Cao Debao, although he is only a little smart, his talent is indeed much stronger than the two.

Cao Debao has learned well, half a month of surprise training, and now he is also handy with some simple radio repairs.

So some simple maintenance work, Chen Canquan handed over to Cao Debao, and some difficult ones were started by himself.

As for Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qian, they can only do chores and do some errands.

Every month for the three of them, Chen Can gives each person a guaranteed salary of fifty, and as for other things to eat and drink, Chen Can didn't calculate it carefully.

This salary is definitely much higher than their salary in the soy sauce factory, not to mention that this is just a side business, and they are naturally satisfied with their current income.

The soy sauce factory is now, January is not as good as a month, the warehouse is full of soy sauce, the benefit is that January is not as good as January, Cao Debao and several people go to work every day, purely to make soy sauce.

But it is also impossible for them to give up their identity as workers in state factories, and the identity of workers in this era still retains that last bit of aura, but let them jump out of that circle, few people have that kind of courage.

Even Chen Can at this time didn't have the courage to jump out of that circle and go it alone.

Chen Can didn't bother to care, factories like the soy sauce factory whose efficiency was getting worse and worse, Jichun City had not one thousand but eight hundred.

Chen Can originally planned to hold an electrical maintenance training class, but recently, because many people, because of the poor efficiency of the factory, relatives and friends who knew before have found Chen Can's home.

Their purpose is very simple, nothing more than to let Chen Can take them.

But after Chen Can thought about it, he finally chose to continue to do so, and the business of electrical appliance maintenance also maintained the status quo.

In the year of '77, it can be described as stormy and impetuous, so don't hit the muzzle of the gun.

If you really want to do something, you will talk about it in another year and a half.

The business of the wireless factory is now in full swing, and the twenty-six salespeople who Chen Can has sown out have begun to give feedback one after another.

All kinds of telegrams and telephones were collected at the Infinity II Factory, and in just one month, more than 2,000 super antennas were sent to other places.

Although this sales volume, in Chen Can's view, is drizzle, but for the entire wireless second factory, it can be described as a morale boost.

After nearly a month of design and commissioning, the first finished product was finally released.

This portable radio is small in size, with a body size of about 26*13*5 cm and a weight of about 1.2KG.

The overall shell of the fuselage, only the front is made of aluminum, and the other shells are all made of cheap hard plastic shells.

This radio, in your hand, looks like a square brick, and the overall look is very cheap.

There is no way, in order to control costs, Chen Can saved all the places in the province.

Cheap is not afraid, as long as the price is cheap, the people will buy it.

The cost of materials for this radio is already the lowest cost price that the second wireless factory can control.

Coupled with labor and a series of costs, the ex-factory price of this radio, Chen Can set it at 21 yuan.

The retail price in the market is 26 yuan, and the ex-factory price does not represent the cost, the cost of this radio is 11 yuan, and the profit of the second wireless factory can ensure that one is controlled at about 10 yuan.

Compared with the radios of this era, this price is very competitive!

Most of the radios on the market are currently more than 50 yuan.

Of course, the shell material of the people is made of all aluminum, the wiring is also made of all copper, and the electronic components of the people are full of grids, and even the solder joints are densely packed.

In order to save costs, Chen Can can be said to have saved everything he could.

He redesigned the layout of the electronic components on the circuit board, and the electronic components of this radio were more than a third less than those on the market.

Even if it is so saved, Chen Can is still very dissatisfied with the current first generation of products.

The appearance is ugly and ugly, the plastic is full of feeling, and when you hold it in your hand, you feel a sense of cheapness.

But its advantages, too, are obvious!

It's cheap!

Yes, it is cheap, Chen Can believes that at present, no domestic manufacturer can achieve a radio with a cost price of only ten yuan.

Of course, in another two years, with the reform and opening up, the impact of many foreign electrical appliances, the price of many old-fashioned electronic and electrical products in China has plummeted, and there will be a radio for 20 yuan on the market.

However, at that time, the second wireless factory had already harvested several waves, and it was not worried at all.

Portable radio, in Chen Can's positioning, is a transitional product.

Relying on this wave of harvesting, the assets of Wireless Factory No. 2 can be increased by at least ten times.

Although Chen Can didn't wait to see this radio, he was still full of confidence in it, and even let the factory increase its efforts and start working overtime to produce.

Everything is ready, and the portable radio is exactly on the market.

The first place to sell is definitely Jichun City.

Because of the good relationship between the previous and cooperative super antennas, the products of the second wireless factory are now sold in major shopping malls, as well as supply and marketing cooperatives and other places.

This day happens to be the first of October, and the whole world celebrates, and the day is well chosen!

There are very few holidays in this era, even the Spring Festival is not a holiday, and the National Day is only a day off.

In order to make this radio an instant hit, Chen Can printed dozens of small posters at one time.

Chen Can asked Huang Jiang to send someone to the electrical counter in each shopping mall and put up a poster like this.

The poster is very simple, still black and white, with several radio patterns on it and portable radios written below, with a retail price of 26 yuan.

On this day, the major shopping malls were crowded with people, and the electrical counters were even more crowded.

In fact, this kind of traffic does not need any sales pitch at all, but with this poster, it can be said that it really adds fuel to the fire.

This price is enough to make all young people excited.

If it weren't for the times not allowing, Chen Can would have wanted to write such an advertising slogan on the poster.

"The king of cost performance, we only make the first radio for young people!"

On this morning, Xu Zhijun, who was carefully dressed, took his younger sister, who had just entered junior high school, to a department store in Jichun City.

Xu Zhijun, a native of the countryside, used his brother-in-law's relationship to find a temporary job in a machinery factory last year, with a current salary of 20 yuan per month.

Of the 20 yuan, he sent 15 yuan back to his hometown every month, and the remaining 5 yuan was spent by himself, because he usually had food, clothing, housing and transportation in the factory, even if it was five yuan a month, he could save a lot.

He also has a younger sister, who is just in the third year of junior high school this year, and the school organizes a parade on National Day, and it is rare to come to the city.

As soon as the school activities were over, he took his sister to the department store during the lunch break to buy a pair of shoes for her.

For more than a year, even if he only had five yuan of pocket money every month, he had saved forty-three yuan.

In fact, Xu Zhijun has only been to the department store twice in the year and a half he has been working in Jichun.

But for his sister's first time in the city, he still pretended to be familiar, walked in front to show his sister the way, and told his sister about the new things in Jichun City along the way.

No matter how bad you are, in front of your relatives, you have to pretend to be the best, which may be the love for your relatives.

As soon as the two arrived at the department store, they saw the crowd coming in and out, Xu Zhijun frowned, he didn't expect so many people to flow today.

As soon as the two stepped into the mall, Xu Zhijun's brother and sister were pushed forward by the surging crowd.

There were too many people today, Xu Zhijun hurriedly grabbed his sister's hand in the crowd and asked her to follow him.

The two finally squeezed out of the crowd, and finally arrived at the shoes and clothes counter, there was nothing to choose from, and many shoes were sold out in front of the shoe counter today.

didn't care about anything else, Xu Zhijun hurriedly chose two pairs of shoes, a pair of pull-back shoes for his sister and a pair of liberation shoes for his father.

Two pairs of shoes cost him fourteen yuan, and he still has twenty-nine yuan left in his pocket.

I also bought shoes, and this trip to the mall is over, Xu Zhijun doesn't plan to spend all the money on his body.

Since he entered the factory last year, he has had a goal, which is to save a year's money to buy a radio.

A young man, in a strange city, has no money and no friends, what does he rely on to pass the loneliness?

Naturally, it was a dream, just entered the factory last year, Xu Zhijun knew about the high-tech radio, his roommate had one, the other party cherished it, and he didn't let him touch it at all, and he heard his roommate say that he spent 78 yuan to buy it.

For more than a year, Xu Zhijun has been relying on other people's radios to pass the time, and he dreams of having a radio of his own.

But this dream is too far away, saving five yuan a month, without eating or drinking, you have to save for more than a year.

But it is impossible for a young man not to eat or drink, although he is very economical, but in a year and a half, he only saves forty-three yuan.

Now that my sister has entered the city and spent 14 yuan, her dream of saving money has to continue.

Xu Zhijun used to come to the department store this time, and he went to the electrical counter to have a look, although he couldn't afford it, but it was also enjoyable to see.

Today, he naturally didn't have that idea, there were so many people, he carefully squeezed his sister out of the crowd.

The two had just walked out of the mall and were about to leave, when suddenly a young man next to them was full of excitement, opened a paper package, and a pure black radio appeared in front of them.

Xu Zhijun, who had just taken a step, was suddenly attracted by his eyes, and he couldn't walk anymore.

This radio was smaller and more delicate than any other radio he had seen, like a square brick.

The young man on the other side couldn't wait to turn on the radio, and a sizzling electric current sounded, followed by a clear announcement.

The longing in Xu Zhijun's eyes at this time was difficult to hide, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

In his mind, he fantasized about having such a radio at this time, hiding under the quilt and listening to the radio quietly, the taste was so beautiful!

It's a pity that this is always a fantasy, and a dream is always just a dream, Xu Zhijun shook his head, and then took his sister and wanted to leave.

As soon as he took a step, he suddenly heard the sound of the young man talking to another person.

"The sound quality is really good, better than my dad's 98 yuan radio, this 26 yuan is really worth it!"

Xu Zhijun, who had just taken one foot, suddenly stopped, he turned his head to look at the young man in disbelief, and finally mustered up the courage to ask the other party.

"Friend, how much does this radio cost in your hand?"

The young man raised his head and glanced at Xu Zhijun, and replied with a smile.

"Twenty-six yuan, isn't it worth it, but also send two No. 5 batteries, I didn't expect the radio to be so cheap now, and I don't want a ticket, I also saw my friend buy it, I rushed over, I didn't expect it to sell for twenty-six yuan, it's worth it!"

Xu Zhijun finally determined at this time that he had heard correctly, it was indeed twenty-six yuan.

He subconsciously touched the twenty-nine yuan in his pocket, and his heart was extremely hot at the moment.

He glanced back at his sister, then turned his head to look at the flow of people in the mall, and finally gritted his teeth and sent his sister back to the school gathering place first.

When he returned to the department store again, he hurriedly squeezed to the counter with the crowd, but when he asked, it was already sold out!

He was immediately depressed, and he realized that the front of the electrical counter was full of people at this time, and these people were all asking about the radio.

But fortunately, he heard the good news that the manufacturer of radios, the second wireless factory, will send a batch of radios in the afternoon, so they just need to wait.

Xu Zhijun, who heard the good news, was very excited in his heart, and hurriedly waited in front of the counter like everyone else.

After waiting for more than three hours, Xu Zhijun finally bought the first radio in his life before the mall closed at 7 p.m.

At this time, in the No. 2 Wireless Factory, the workers who had been busy all day finally received a notice from the factory before dinner that there was braised pork in the canteen in the evening.

Everyone was suddenly elated, just like the New Year, rushing to the canteen with their rice bowls.

Chen Can didn't care about eating, he was in the Huangjiang office at this time, listening to the information gathered by the people below, and finally calculated with the numbers on the calculator.

Seeing that dazzling number, everyone in the office showed a look of disbelief.

Huang Jiang took a hard puff of cigarette before he spit it out heavily, and then asked Chen Can tremblingly.

"Section Chief Zhou, is the sales volume confirmed?"

The corners of Chen Can's mouth showed a trace of curvature, and he nodded.

"The number of sales is absolutely right, I was right three times, together is 24,732 units, our factory worked overtime last month to produce half a month's goods, today it was sold out in one day, Director Huang, we have to re-increase the production workshop, in addition to raw material procurement, we must follow up in time, according to this sales, as long as the production capacity keeps up, by the end of the year, at least more than 500,000 units can be sold!"

"500,000 units!"

The cigarette in Huang Jiang's hand trembled slightly, and then fell on his thigh, he quickly stood up, shook the cigarette ash, and stepped on it.

Huang Jiang's eyes were red, he raised his head suddenly, took a step forward, patted Chen Can on the shoulder, and then said in a solemn tone.

"Okay, okay, Section Chief Zhou, you just have to let go of the courage to sell, other things, you don't have to worry, raw materials and other electronic components, I will find a way to meet the production, expand the production workshop, also on me, you give me a sales report, with this report, I see who else, dare not support our second wireless factory!"

Chen Can also shook his head imperceptibly, he naturally knew that Huang Jiang was going to go to Vice Mayor Chen for support.

In this era, there are too many rules and regulations in the system, and even if the products of your own factory become popular, they are still subject to various restrictions.

These need the support from above, without those support, the second wireless factory can be said to be difficult to move an inch.

But Chen Can believes that Vice Mayor Chen will not let this opportunity slip away.

Nowadays, the benefits of various state-owned factories in Jichun City are going downhill, and the second wireless factory has suddenly sprung up.

The cost of a radio with a factory price of 21 yuan is only 11 yuan, and the profit is 10 yuan, if 500,000 units are sold, it is a profit of 5 million.

I can't think of it, such a big political achievement, it is impossible for Vice Mayor Chen, who has just taken office, not to seize it.

As long as there is the support from above, it is possible for the second wireless factory to become bigger and stronger and become a benchmark enterprise in Jichun City.

Chen Can naturally didn't want to care about those things, he really had a headache to deal with those people above.

Those things, let the other party have a headache!

Huang Jiang has the ability, and there is a relationship, such a factory director is the most needed cadre of the second wireless factory.

Sure enough, as Chen Can guessed, after Vice Mayor Chen learned the specific information from Huang Jiang, he immediately launched support for the second wireless factory.

First of all, in terms of raw materials, how much is currently needed by the second wireless factory, and how much can be approved above.

As for those electronic components, as well as the problem of various accessories, Vice Mayor Chen also waved his hand and asked several wireless factories and electronic component factories in Jichun City to cooperate with the production tasks of the second wireless factory.

With such support, the second wireless factory can be said to be completely free and start to work hard.

At the end of October, the new production workshop was officially completed, and the second wireless factory, after five years, was recruited again.

Chen Can didn't expect that a small recruitment would also cause a lot of turmoil.
