0141 It turned out to be a bit embarrassing
The next day when Xia Lei came to the company, his eyes were red. He had almost never slept overnight. He looked through the things left by his father Xia Changhe, trying to find some clues, but in the end he was in vain. The more the mysterious man looked like his father, the less he could understand why he didn't go home or even meet.
The mysterious man would not meet for a day, and this question would not be answered in one day. However, Xia Lei solved an imminent problem, which was a selfie stick that could be bent. In one night, he completed the drawing design of this selfie stick.
The selfie stick he upgraded is smaller and can be installed in his pocket, but after extension, it can reach a length of two meters and bend to meet all angle needs of selfie enthusiasts. If a selfie enthusiast wants to take pictures of the back of his head, it can be easily done with this selfie stick. If you want to take pictures of some scenery inside the wall, this selfie stick that can stretch to two meters can also meet the needs and be done easily.
When Xia Lei told Liang Siyao about the idea of producing a selfie stick, Liang Siyao happily agreed with his idea.
"This plan is much better than shopping carts!" Liang Siyao said excitedly: "Most people buy shopping carts are old men and women. Young people are too lazy to even look at shopping carts, let alone buy them. But selfie sticks are very popular among young people. If we do better than others, we will definitely sell well!"
Xia Lei said: "There is another point, this selfie stick that can be bent 360 degrees is not available on the market. My design is also very unique. I plan to apply for a patent to turn this product into our own."
"Application for a patent? Is it OK?"
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Of course it's OK, but I didn't apply at the Haizhu City Patent Office. I called Long Bing and asked her to help with it. With her help, I was too lazy to run away from the Patent Office. Haizhu is so small, and I don't want others to know about our plan."
If you go to Haizhu City Patent Office to apply for a patent, you may be troubled and may reveal this secret. To put it bluntly, this kind of selfie stick that can be bent is just a small idea and has no technological content. People can create it when they look at the drawings. In order to avoid these troubles, Xia Lei thought of asking Long Bing for help. The last time Liu Ying’s patent application for automatic surfboard was also done by Long Bing.
"I agree with the patent application, but are they willing to help such a thing?" Liang Siyao was a little skeptical about this.
Xia Lei said: "Compared to what I did for them, my request is just a small request. If you don't even help with this little busy, I will pretend not to know if they want me to help you in the future. Senior sister, don't worry about this matter. We will do it separately. You copy a few copies of the drawings and send one for each workshop director. From today on, our company will produce this kind of selfie stick throughout the line and drive out a batch of goods as soon as possible..."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Liang Siyao picked up the drawings and went to do things.
Xia Lei started to prepare the materials for applying for patents. After he prepared, he called Long Bing.
Before he could speak, Long Bing's voice came over, "Call me on his own initiative and ask me to help you do something, tell me what's going on?"
Xia Lei was speechless, "How do you know I'm here to ask you for help?"
"Can you call me for coffee?"
Xia Lei smiled, "Next time you come to Haizhu, I'll invite you to have coffee. This time I'll really ask you for help. I have a selfie stick idea and want to apply for a patent. You know, I have a hundred or so people under my command looking at me for dinner. Now the company's business is not good, and I'm almost out of business."
"Wait, do you say a selfie stick?" Long Bing's voice was full of curiosity, "Didn't that thing have existed long ago? Now many young people play with that, and they shoot this and that all day long. Such a common thing, are you really your creativity?"
Xia Lei said: "The selfie stick I designed can be bent 360 degrees. Have you seen it?"
"I haven't seen this."
"I'll fax the patent application materials to you. Can you help me with it?"
Long Bing was silent for a moment before saying, "If you can bend, it should be fine. You can fax it to me. I'll show it to Mr. Shi, and I'll approve it for you within today."
"Thank you." Xia Lei breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively said, "You don't need to release your boss in this matter, do you?"
Long Bing said: "You applied for a patent at the Kyoto Patent Administration. I don't have that much energy to help you. I actually asked Mr. Shi to help you with the last time. You are a celebrity in his eyes now, and he will be happy to help you."
"What are the most popular people?... Thank you, and I will convey my gratitude to Mr. Shi."
"You are so kind to you. Just the credit you made this time, even if you say that the kitchen knife was invented by you, he can still get you a patent."
She would even make such jokes?
Xia Lei, “…”
"Well, if there is a product out, send me a courier."
"Okay, no problem."
"Is there anything else? I'll hang up if it's okay." Without waiting for Xia Lei to speak, Long Bing hung up the phone.
This was done. Xia Lei knew that the more Shi Boren helped him, the more favors he owed Shi Boren. The hardest thing to pay back was the favors, and naturally there was time to do things for Shi Boren in the future. But this was nothing. Almost everything Shi Boren asked him to do was to serve the country. Although this country was not perfect and had one or another, she was the mother who gave birth to all Chinese people after all. If she had the ability to make her better and stronger, this was actually a noble thing.
After getting the patent application matter, Xia Lei went to the workshop to take a look. Several workshops were already preparing materials to produce the selfie sticks he designed, and several workshops were also busy. The shopping cart products did not stop, and there were workers producing them. Although its profits were not as good as the profits of selfie sticks, its market exists. A company's products need to be diversified. Leima Manufacturing now has two products, which is a good start.
Xia Lei dived into his exclusive studio after leaving the workshop and drove the smart machine tool at full capacity. Compared to shopping carts and selfie sticks, this smart machine tool is the ace product of Lima Manufacturing Company!
Xia Lei was busy in his studio and Liang Siyao was working hard. After the first selfie stick came out, she took it to Xia Lei's studio. Both of them were satisfied with the selfie stick produced by the workers.
However, new problems were also placed in front of the two of them. The product has come out, how can it be sold?
In this world, you can’t sell your things if you are good. Advertising, relationships and connections are very important. There is no such two conditions in Lima Manufacturing Company.
"Our customers and sales channels are too few. This kind of selfie stick is easy to produce. A worker can produce twenty or thirty pieces a day, and we can produce about two thousand pieces a day, and the inventory will be raised in an instant. In this way, our funds and materials will be exhausted soon, so the sales problem must be solved and it must be fast." Liang Siyao said.
Xia Lei thought for a moment and frowned slightly, "We can sell some of this kind of product in our own supermarket, but the sales volume is almost negligible. This kind of thing is sold more online, and I wonder if we can use the online sales channel?"
"Are you talking about opening an online store?" Liang Siyao shook her head, "It's very deep to open an online store online. It's hard to open a new online store without reputation and repeat customers. Another problem is that we only have two products at present. Which online store does not have a lot of products on sale on the shelves?"
Xia Lei said: "I'm not interested in opening an online store. I mean we sell things to the website. Doesn't JD have a self-operated platform? We can try it. We can also sell some large online stores. Our products are very novel and fill the gap in the selfie market. I think e-commerce and online stores will definitely be interested."
"This idea is good. I will contact JD.com immediately. Well, I asked the boys and girls from the sales department to take action and let them contact those big online stores." Liang Siyao said that she left, looking very excited and anxious.
Xia Lei watched her walk out of the studio and knew in his heart: "I made money this time, and I must buy her a car. She has paid too much."
Liang Siyao suddenly turned back, "I suddenly remembered that the monk was not a professional bodyguard? I heard him say that his boss seemed to be a shareholder of JD.com and could speak at the board of directors. When we call JD.com, we can only find the lower-level staff. We are asking others for the price, and the price will definitely be difficult to negotiate. Even if the negotiation is completed, the process will be very troublesome. Why not ask the monk and see what he says."
The monk is the nickname of Lu Sheng and is also a disciple of Liang Zhengchun. When Xia Lei just went to Liang Zhengchun's boxing gym to learn Wing Chun, Lu Sheng disliked him, and the two fought one time, but Xia Lei defeated him and became friends.
Lu Sheng's iron tower-like appearance appeared in Xia Lei's mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I haven't heard him talk about his boss's situation, but this would be much better than contacting the staff of JD.com. However, I know that Lu Sheng likes you, would it be embarrassing?"
Liang Siyao immediately rolled her eyes, "He likes me, will it be embarrassing if we are together? Then, is it embarrassing if we are together?"
Is this a problem?
But there is an ambiguity in this question, that is, does she like Xia Lei or does Xia Lei like her?
Perhaps because she realized that there was something embarrassing in her words, Liang Siyao's jade face was faint. Before Xia Lei could answer her question, she turned around and walked out, and said as she walked: "Don't worry about this matter, I'll arrange it, and you can accompany me at that time."
"Yeah." Xia Lei responded, but he was thinking about a question in his heart, "Are you embarrassed when I was with her? Isn't it awkward?"
Then, the scene of zipping her skirt but tearing her off a piece of her underwear strangely appeared in his mind...
It turned out to be a bit embarrassing.
