Chapter 42 Intelligent Power Supply
When Liang Haiping calmed down, Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle, you are a management genius, so you will catch up with me."
Looking at Liang Haiping, he stared at him and said quickly: "Uncle, I have found a lot of factories these days. There is no production line for canned air in the United States at all. However, the Crown Company in Ohio said that it can transform the existing production line, and the cost is not very high, so it meets our requirements."
"Tomorrow we will go to the Crown Enterprise representative office in Los Angeles."
"Xiaoyuan, how do you plan to sell... air..." Liang Haiping said with a strange expression.
"Uncle, this kind of product will be called gas canned in the future. It will be so ugly that it will sound like a profiteer." Liang Yuan said with a smile.
"Even if you change your name, the name of the profiteering businessman will not be eliminated. God knows what the domestic reaction will be after learning this news." Liang Haiping said.
"Uh..." Liang Yuan thought about it and had to seriously consider this issue. Judging from the current state of the ideological world in China, it would be certain to learn about this news and discuss it in a big way. The reformists would definitely be happy. There is no miracle that cannot happen in the market economy. Conservatives must be heartbroken. Liang Yuan's behavior is even darker than Huang Shiren. The dirty bourgeoisie is the devil crawling out of hell. Even the air becomes a commodity. In the future, will the gifts of nature such as wind and sunshine be taken from the hands of the people and become commodities and sold back?
This may be very likely to become a target. Liang Yuan pushed his fingers to his slightly swollen forehead and sighed. If he really couldn't do it, he would have to ask Uncle Ning to come forward and attach the factory to the army. He would avoid these years and be fine after the great man's southern tour.
Liang Yuan, who came up with a temporary solution, threw this matter aside, told Liang Haiping several times the technical points of the filling production line, and explained in detail how to promote the future gas cans, leafless electric fans and air purifiers, and the two of them went to rest until late at night.
The next day, the two got up early and after breakfast in the hotel's seventh floor lobby, the booked translation was already waiting in the lobby downstairs. The translation was a female student named Xie Na. Liang Yuan contacted it through the Los Angeles Chinese Students Association. Liang Yuan offered $400
The only requirement for hourly translation price is to have an American driver's license and bring your own transportation.
Liang Yuan and Liang Haiping had just walked out of the elevator a few steps. A young woman wearing a light gray round-neck suit and trousers in the same color and short hair stood up from the sofa in the lounge area.
Looking at the only Chinese face in the rest area, Liang Haiping recognized Liang Yuan’s appointment with the interpreter.
"Hello, please disturb me. Are you Mr. Liang Haiping?"
"I am Liang Haiping." Liang Haiping nodded and said.
Liang Yuan, in the name of Liang Haiping, posted news of recruiting temporary translators at the International Student Association.
Stopped, Liang Yuan followed Liang Haiping honestly. Listening to Liang Haiping and Xie Na introducing the purpose of his trip and some simple situations of Crown Enterprise, Xie Na left the hotel lobby, and went straight to a jeep off-road vehicle produced by Chrysler and said, "I don't know where Mr. Liang is going, so I had to rent an off-road vehicle."
Liang Haiping smiled and signaled that nothing was wrong. He and Liang Yuan got into the rear row of the off-road vehicle. Xie Na opened the cab and started the car and used the hotel parking lot. After turning two corners, she drove onto the D7 intercity expressway that runs north and south of Los Angeles.
The representative office of Crown Enterprise Group in Los Angeles is located in the famous Long Beach area southwest of Los Angeles, not far from the busy Port of Los Angeles. However, the Hilton Hotel where Liang Yuan is located is in the northwest of downtown Los Angeles. When you open the window of the hotel, you can clearly see the huge row of white landmark letters of Hollywood standing on Beverly Hills - Hollywood.
The Hollywood area is nearly thirty kilometers away from the Long Beach area, and it takes more than 40 minutes to drive. Xie Na arrived very hard along the way. From time to time, she introduced some of the landmark buildings of Los Angeles passing by the road to Liang Yuan and Liang Haiping. For Liang Yuan, Los Angeles did not feel anything special except that the building density is relatively low and the city is huge, but it is not the case for Liang Haiping.
It was Liang Haiping and Liang Yuan's second time abroad. When they went to Democratic Germany last time, although they did not stay in West Germany, Leipzig's urban construction still shocked Liang Haiping. However, they were all class brothers from the socialist camp, and they were still in line with each other in some aspects, and there were similar places to the country. However, in the 1980s, the United States was a capitalist hell with bright lights and wine, extremely corrupt capitalist hell. It was known as the city of angels, Los Angeles, and there was no city similar to it in China.
After getting on the bus, Liang Haiping kept leaning against the car window, looking at the skyscrapers rising up from the endless green shade of Los Angeles, listening to Xie Na's explanation like a tour guide with relish. The bored Liang Yuan had to study whether Xie Na's single eyelids or double eyelids through the rearview mirror.
After the Cherokee off-road vehicle drove off the D7 expressway, the east coast of the Pacific Ocean was already visible. Xie Na reduced the speed to about 30 miles. Liang Yuan opened the window and a low whistle vaguely came from the port. He bypassed the famous Pier 19 and turned the Los Angeles International Convention and Exhibition Center. The East Pacific Building where Crown Enterprise is located came into view.
The East Pacific Building is an office building with a height of more than 40 stories. The square corners of the main building were set in four and a half arcs by the architect. From a distance, it seemed like a large thrust-binding rocket standing in the city. Shana drove her car into the parking lot along the diversion ramp in front of the building.
Jumping out of the car, Liang Yuan looked up at the sky. The light blue sky was endless, but it was far less translucent than Los Angeles in later generations. The Republic in the 1980s was still far from the world's factory. The manufacturing industry in the United States was still quite strong. There were many industrial areas in Los Angeles, and the United States had a huge number of automobiles, mixed with car exhaust, and the sky with industrial emission gases was a light layer of lead gray.
The United States is still in the intermediate stage of atmospheric control. The federal government has achieved a decisive victory in the treatment of severe pollution such as rolling smoke. However, some pollutions that are invisible to the naked eye and have strong concealment have not yet entered the scope of attention of the federal government. Not only is pm2.5 not included in the federal atmospheric monitoring standards, but even the exhaust emissions of cars are not restricted.
Liang Yuan looked at the sky with gray marks and felt very relaxed. It would be better if there was pollution. If the number of pm2.5 suspended objects in the entire United States in the new century was controlled to about 10, which air purifier would be sold? In the future, the federal government issued new atmospheric control regulations. If you can find opportunities, it would be better to drag it. The more severe the air pollution, the more fire the air purifier will become. At this time, Liang Yuan became a complete profiteer.
The three of them entered the building and came to the front desk to explain the company they wanted to visit. The security guard of the building pointed to a screen in front of the monitoring station and said, "Check it out there. There are all the names and equipments of the companies you want to visit and the interviewed persons. Find the company and personnel you are planning to make an appointment and press the green option on the right."
Liang Yuan looked at Xie Na clumsyly fiddling with the antique-style touch screen, shook his head slightly, looked at Liang Haiping stretching his neck, and looked at Xie Na clicking around the screen with curiosity, and said funny: "Uncle, if you don't care about the trouble, go back and ask Lao Su to get one for the car factory."
"Can Lao Su and the others produce this?" Liang Haiping said in surprise.
"The most important component in this device is the microcontroller developed by Lao Su and others. The screen looks quite advanced, but it is actually similar to the touch switch of the leafless electric fan remote control, but it only has more display devices."
Although Liang Yuan said disdain, he still admired the Americans' ability to innovate. The microcontroller technology has matured and has the value and foundation for mass promotion. In the past seven or eight years, Americans have applied chips to various fields by themselves, which has affected human food, clothing, housing and transportation. The information age's ability originated in the United States is not without cause.
Liang Haiping thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it for now. I guess there is no one to use this thing when I get it in the factory."
"But my uncle still needs to find an opportunity to learn it." Liang Yuan said with a smile: "I plan to use similar equipment in newly built hotels and residences in the Science and Technology Park. If my uncle doesn't know how to use it, he will have nowhere to stay in Shengjing in the future."
"The cost of this kind of equipment is very expensive." Liang Haiping sighed: "I said, why did you make the budget for hotel projects so high?"
In the late 1980s, four high-rise buildings with a construction area of 60,000 square meters, plus a guild-style building of about 10,000 square meters. Even if the structure of earthquake-resistant shear walls is used, the overall cost of the building itself will not exceed 80 million yuan. Liang Yuan gave a budget of 300 million yuan, and was simply planning to turn the entire project into a smart building that has just begun to become popular internationally. There are too many places to use microcontrollers in terms of power supply, water supply, monitoring, etc., and the cost of intelligent power supply alone will far exceed the construction cost itself.
"Uncle, I'm thankful for 300 million yuan." Liang Yuan said with a smile: "If Lao Su and the others can get rid of the hotel project, I will be confident that they can account for 30% of the power distribution projects of high-rise buildings in China."
The information age is based on the electrical age. Without systematic understanding of power engineering, all industrial systems can only be castles on the beach, countless large industrial consortiums such as Siemens, General Motors, Mitsubishi, Alstom, etc., verified this with iron-like facts. Without water, humans cannot survive, and without electricity, humans will not be able to live.
Liang Haiping simply calculated and said, "The sales of 200 million or 300 million a year is not bad."
Liang Yuan smiled and said nothing. My uncle was considering the current market for the start-up of high-rise buildings in China. Currently, there are only thirty or fifty high-rise buildings with more than twelve floors across the country every year. It is not even a spark that is thrown on China's vast territory.
No one could have thought about how the Republic began to build high-rise buildings after the 1990s. Needless to mention the whole country, even in a larger prefecture-level city, the number of high-rise buildings with more than ten floors will be 20 or 30 buildings per year. At that time, the turnover of distribution equipment will become an extremely surprising number.
