Chapter 34 Super Antenna(1/2)
Compared to portable radios, the project Chen Can wants to do more is a cassette tape player, a tape recorder that can play more than ten or twenty songs on one cassette.
That thing was very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, and it could reap dividends for at least ten years.
However, tape recorders that played tapes were still a novelty in China at this time. They were basically only available along the coast, with a small amount of smuggled goods coming in.
Most of the smuggled goods in this era were imported goods from Xiaozhi, and the quality was pretty good.
Two or three years later, with the reform and opening up and the rise of pop songs, profiteers in Hong Kong City seized the opportunity and began to look at manufacturing cheap tapes and importing them to the mainland.
Later, some domestic manufacturers felt that smuggling was unsafe and the profits were too low, so they might as well do it themselves.
So in the mid-1980s, pirated tapes from the southern region began to spread rapidly across the country. In the 1980s and 1990s, traces of pirated tapes could be found everywhere in China, and it could be said that they were popular all over the country.
Many singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan are tepid in their local markets and can hardly make a living. As a result, as soon as their songs are spread to the mainland, pirated tapes quickly become popular across the country. The sales of pirated tapes of many singers are in the tens of millions.
of.
It can be said that pirated tapes have created a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers. After the 1990s, these singers began to enter domestic commercial performances one after another. Each performance was hundreds of thousands or millions, and they made a lot of money.
Full.
Of course, this kind of piracy ultimately hurts the entire entertainment industry.
If a singer doesn't make money, who will write songs?
I worked hard to create original songs, but in the end I couldn't make any money, while those who copied and pirated them made a lot of money.
The vicious cycle eventually makes internal entertainment completely lifeless!
Not everyone can become a talented king like Jay Chou. Most singers create one or two famous songs when their inspiration breaks out and live off their pitiful royalties.
Today's radios almost do not have tape playback functions, but in a few years, radios without tape playback functions will be quickly eliminated from the market.
Unfortunately, the very real problem is that in this era, there are very few wireless manufacturers in our country that can produce magnetic tapes.
Cassette tape recorder head production lines, that thing, in the next few years, domestic wireless factories will basically import production lines from Xiaoli.
Jichun Wireless Factory No. 2 naturally does not have the money to import production lines. Chen Can has no idea for the time being and has to go step by step.
Nowadays, domestic counterparts are actually having a hard time. Many colleagues in wireless manufacturers basically rely on old-fashioned radios to survive. However, with the saturation of radios and the impact of imported electrical appliances from abroad, this situation will quickly worsen.
Of course, there are also many factories that will find their own way out, start technological innovation, and look for product breakthroughs.
There are also some manufacturers that seek to import more advanced photolithography machines, bonding machines, spectrum analyzers and other key equipment abroad to produce products that can keep up with the times.
Although the pocket-sized portable radio that Chen Can is planning to produce will soon be eliminated by the times, it might as well be a good way out in a short period of time.
Chen Can still remembered a piece of news he had read in his previous life. A certain wireless factory started producing portable radios in 1978. As soon as the product was launched on the market, demand exceeded supply. By 1982, it had produced over a million portable radios.
Chen Can must seize this opportunity now. The equipment of Jichun Wireless Factory No. 2 can play its maximum role and can only complete such a project.
After making the decision, Chen Can immediately selected twelve technical backbones in the factory. In Chen Can's opinion, these technicians all had good technical abilities, at least in terms of radios, and they were all expert level.
Domestic radio technology has not developed significantly in almost more than ten years. All technologies and these technicians are very familiar with it. This situation also means that the technology is mature, so Chen Can can completely let go.
Chen Can established two technical research teams, one of which was dedicated to the super antenna project. Chen Can independently completed the design of this team.
The reason is very simple. The technicians really don't understand the technical principles of the technology produced by this system. Chen Can has no plans to recruit apprentices for the time being. Everyone is unfamiliar with it, and Chen Can is not so kind as to hand over his technology.
The second group is the portable radio project. This project is also the main project of Wireless Factory No. 2 in the next two years.
Chen Can provided project plans, technical guidance, other parts search, assembly and debugging issues, but Chen Can chose to let go and let the technicians do their own work.
Factory director Huang Jiang gave Chen Can a lot of support. He hardly interfered with technical matters and completely delegated power.
This makes Chen Can very satisfied. Meeting a good boss is much more important than finding a good job.
In the early September of Ji Chun, the weather suddenly became a little cooler. Seeing that Zheng Juan's belly began to show its shape, Chen Can guessed that he could no longer hide it.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Can came home from work that day, Li Suhua secretly pulled him to the kitchen and scolded him in a stern tone, asking him if he had noticed anything unusual about Zheng Juan?
When Chen Can heard this, he immediately screamed. His old mother might have discovered that Zheng Juan was pregnant.
He had been feeling a little uneasy in the past two months. In fact, he had wanted to tell his mother about this for a long time, but he really didn't know how to speak.
After all, Zheng Juan's baby was born, and if you calculate the time, it should have been during the time when his mother was hospitalized.
During that time, while her mother was not at home, Zheng Juan had to go to the hospital to deliver meals to her mother every day. Sometimes she had time in the morning, noon, and evening, and Chen Can did that stuff a lot.
It's normal for you to get shot if you happen to do it more than once.
It was precisely because of the wrong time that Chen Can didn't know how to talk about it.
But now that his mother has discovered it, Chen Can can only admit it. This matter cannot be left to women.
Seeing his mother's suspicious eyes, Chen Can smiled awkwardly and quickly took his mother's hand and said.
"Mom, don't think too much, that child is mine. When you were hospitalized, I couldn't hold it back for a while!"
When Li Suhua saw Chen Can admit it, she was angry and anxious. She slapped his arm and cursed at the same time.
"You damn kid, you don't worry at all. I've known for a long time that you guys are not simple. You deliberately let me bump into you that day. You have planned it for a long time, right? Even my mother is playing tricks, right?"
Saying that, he slapped her hard a few more times!
Chen Can quickly begged for mercy and explained with a playful smile.
After Li Suhua vented her anger, she lost her previous temper and sat down with Chen Can to discuss how to resolve the matter.
Seeing that his mother had let go, Chen Can also breathed a sigh of relief!
Chen Can really can only do this. If he had confessed the matter between himself and Zheng Juan while his mother was in the hospital, then his mother would definitely not agree, and the whole family would be in trouble. Even Zheng Juan would not
Don't even think about showing up in front of your mother.
Now that they have been together for half a year, her mother also knows what kind of person Zheng Juan is. Although deep down in Li Suhua's heart, after learning about the time they spent together, she still complained a little about this woman's scheming, but she thought about it.
I feel relieved after thinking about it.
No woman wants to marry a good man. Although her mistress doesn’t have much ability, she is a worker with a clean family background and is now the section chief of a factory. It would be abnormal for Zheng Juan not to hold on to such a good man tightly!
Since she is pregnant and is Zhou Bingkun's son, as a mother, Li Suhua naturally has to find a way to handle this matter!
In this era, the reputation of getting pregnant out of wedlock is not good, and Zheng Juan is still a widow. If this matter comes out, the reputation will be completely ruined.
So Li Suhua made a decisive decision and told the two to get married immediately!
Chen Can didn't expect his mother to be more anxious than him, but naturally he wouldn't refuse this matter.
So I made a plan and decided to go get the marriage certificate on September 15th and get the matter done.
The reason why I chose this day is that it has a good meaning!
The date was set, but Li Suhua was still a little worried and looked at Chen Can with a troubled expression.
Chen Can naturally knew what his mother was worried about, so he discussed it carefully.
"Mom, don't worry about other people gossiping. Zheng Juan and I live this life, so don't worry about those gossips!"
Li Suhua sighed and finally nodded!
Mothers in this era are naturally worried about rumors. If the neighbors know that Zheng Juan has a child in her belly, then this matter will probably spread even more.
In fact, some people are already spreading the word, and there are even several families who are pointing fingers at Zheng Juan's back and making sarcastic remarks.
The reason is very simple. After the news about Chen Can becoming the section chief of the wireless factory spread, within three days, someone came to Zhou's house to talk about matchmaking.
As a result, a matchmaker accidentally saw a woman in Zhou Bingkun's house. The matchmaker asked about the relationship between the two. Chen Can did not hide it and directly said that Zheng Juan was his partner.
This matter spread like this. Most of these people did not dare to say it in front of Chen Can, and they basically talked behind Zheng Juan's back.
Most of the rumors circulated about Zheng Juan seducing young men and being shameless.
After all, Zheng Juan had two children with her, and everyone around her saw it!
Zheng Juan suffered this matter silently and never told Chen Can that this woman had unimaginable perseverance.
She is already very satisfied with her current life and does not pray for too much.
Regarding Zhou Bingkun's marriage, he originally wanted to keep things low-key and just invite a few relatives and friends to have a meal.
But Chen Can didn't expect that this incident would cause quite a stir in a small area.
The reason is very simple. On September 3, the day after Chen Can and his mother settled the matter, Chen Can's super antenna project had completed the final design and was put into trial production as soon as possible.
Factory director Huang Jiang has been paying attention to Chen Can's project and is always preparing.
Transforming the production line and preparing raw materials, Huangjiang has already prepared them in advance.
In fact, apart from being a bit technically difficult, the raw material for this thing is very simple, just aluminum.
On the first day of trial production, 600 pairs of "super antennas" were produced. If this thing is produced overtime, thousands of pairs can be produced every day.
However, the number of TV sets in Jichun City is estimated to be only tens of thousands, so the market will soon be saturated.
If you want to make money, you must launch this product into the market quickly.
The day after the product was produced, Huang Jiang used connections to have this super antenna appear in the electrical counters of several department stores in Jichun.
Chen Can originally wanted to talk to Huang Jiang about his sales plan, but Huang Jiang could not be found at all.
For several days in a row, Huang Jiang has been trying to get connections so that this kind of super antenna can be sold in several state-owned department stores as soon as possible.
The relationship between Huangjiang and Huangjiang is indeed very strong. In just two days, the electrical appliance counters of several department stores in the city have been put on sale one after another!
