Chapter 154 Haro
On the third day of the Canton Fair, foreign merchants got off the bus in the parking lot, chatted in twos and threes, and walked to the venue just like the first two days.When they walked through a clearing, they heard a voice shouting jerky English words:
"Hello! Hello! Lili, Luke, Lily (Look, Lily)!"

The sound was so uncoordinated with the surrounding environment that many foreigners turned their heads and followed the sound LOOK.

I saw a taxi parked beside the road. The car seemed to have broken down. The engine case was lifted, and the engine was still humming.However, the driver did not stand beside the car to repair the car, but sat on the side of the road smoking a cigarette, looking very leisurely and helpless.

Two young men were standing next to the taxi, yelling vigorously at the passing merchants, one of them was loud, but his English was shockingly bad; the other had pretty good English, but he seemed a bit uncomfortable with this kind of yelling. The sound is slightly weak.

The most eye-catching thing is the four beautiful fans lined up next to the taxi, two of which are stopped, and the other two are turning briskly, sending out a cool breeze. Guangzhou in April is already a little bit hot, and the cool wind blown by this fan is soft and gentle, bringing a refreshing spring-like atmosphere to people.

Lin Zhenhua had thought about the idea of ​​setting up a stall outside the Canton Fair a long time ago.He remembered reading a biography about an entrepreneur on the Internet in his later life. This senior took his own flint gun and sneaked into the venue of the Canton Fair. He then held two guns and shouted loudly, earning his first prize. pot of gold.Later, based on this first pot of gold, he founded a powerful enterprise named "Fangtai".

Lin Zhenhua wanted to imitate this senior's feat, but he couldn't make up his mind.He knew that in the social environment at that time, he would have to take a great risk in doing so, and whether he would be taken away by the police was a question mark.The coldness Wuye Fan received in the exhibition forced him to make up his mind to die.He thought that if any political troubles really happened, Xie Chunyan would not sit idly by, at worst, after Xie Chunyan fished him out, he would do a self-criticism.

Lin Zhenhua made a plan to set up a stall outside the venue. The next step is to consider how to implement it and how to minimize the risk.There are no stalls on the side of the road that can be borrowed, and the power supply is also a key factor in selling fans.A major feature of the five-leaf fan is the soft wind. To let the merchants realize this, they must hold the fan and blow on them.

After thinking hard for a long time, Lin Zhenhua finally came up with an excellent idea.He hired a taxi and drove it to an open space outside the venue, something the police would not interfere with.Then, he used the taxi as a booth and turned on his electric fan.As for the power supply, he took a fancy to the cigarette lighter of the car. In his impression, the output power of the cigarette lighter can reach more than 100 watts, and it should not be a problem to support two or three electric fans.

The output of the cigarette lighter is 12V DC, and the power requirement of the electric fan is 220V AC.The conversion in the middle involves a very common thing in later generations, called a power inverter.The transformers that people use every day first convert the 220V AC into a low voltage such as 12V, and then convert it into DC through a rectifier circuit.The function of the inverter is just the opposite. It first converts direct current into alternating current, and then transforms it into a voltage as needed, for example, from 12V to 220V.

Lin Zhenhua didn't know if there was such a thing as an inverter in this era, so he could only hand over the task of finding the inverter to the omnipotent Schumann. "Bao", that is, the head of the village in the old society, who is in charge of a piece of land, and he knows everything about everyone's affairs.

After receiving the task, Schuman immediately called his three relatives and six acquaintances, and finally got a reply from a friend who worked at the Polytechnic University.She took a taxi and went straight to the Polytechnic University. Together with her friends, she invited a professor of electronics out of bed and went to the laboratory to weld a set of 12V to 220V inverters for the car overnight.

The principle of something like an inverter is actually very simple, but the high-power transistors used in it were very expensive components at the time.Lin Zhenhua authorized Schumann to get the inverter at any cost.So Schumann directly took 100 yuan to the professor and told him that the 100 yuan was used to buy the inverter, and it didn't matter how much money was spent. The extra money would belong to the professor.

Money can make a professor push a mill, let alone just solder an inverter.The professor rolled up his sleeves and showed the enthusiasm he had when he was sent to the May [-]th Cadre School. He stayed up all night and made an inverter.After testing, the performance fully meets Lin Zhenhua's requirements.

Schumann waited in the laboratory, and by the time the inverter was tested, it was broad daylight.She thanked the professor, went out and found a taxi, and went straight to the venue of the Canton Fair.

At this time, Lin Zhenhua had already set up a stall outside the venue.He also called a taxi and asked the driver to park the car in an empty lot, open the engine cover, and pretend that the car was malfunctioning.As soon as Schumann arrived, Lin Zhenhua asked the driver to start the ignition, use the engine to continuously charge the battery, and then connect the inverter to the cigarette lighter to power the electric fan.

The driver sat on the side of the road with a sad face and smoked, while Lin Zhenhua tossed about his car.In his pocket, there was an envelope containing 200 yuan, which was Lin Zhenhua's hard work.Lin Zhenhua also promised that if the driver was criticized because of this action, he would give the driver more money as mental damages.

Forget it, they can do whatever they want, what did Manager Lin say?By the way, it is an honorable thing to say that it is to win glory for the country.As for whether the leader will criticize, didn't Manager Lin say that if he is criticized, there will be a mental damage fee as compensation.Besides, the leader might not know, right? ...Perhaps, it would be better to let the leader know that the labor fee is already 200 yuan, and the mental damage fee, why shouldn't there be 100 or [-] yuan?

The driver sat aside and thought about it, while watching the two young men from Jiangnan Province drinking desperately.Lin Zhenhua is open-minded enough, but if he really wants to be yelled at by the side of the road, he still feels embarrassed.However, Chu Hongyang has honed his face to be extremely strong in the past two years as the sales section chief. He asked Lin Zhenhua to teach him a few of the simplest words, and then shouted loudly: "Hello! Hello!"

The merchants were attracted by this strange scene, they stopped and began to whisper in various languages:

"What's wrong with this car?"

"It seems that the engine is overheated. These two young people are blowing the engine with electric fans."

"No, their fans are blowing in our direction."

"Why don't I feel cold?"

"Oh yes, I feel cool, but not that cold, what kind of fan is this?"

"Strange, why do their fans have five leaves? Could it be because of the five-leaf design?"

"..."

There were more and more onlookers, and a foreign female businessman pushed aside the crowd, squeezed to the front, and asked Lin Zhenhua and Chu Hongyang in English:
"Young man, what's the matter with your fan? Why is it five leaves? I think the wind is very gentle."

The translator following the female businessman was about to translate this sentence to Lin Zhenhua, but he heard that Lin Zhenhua had already begun to answer in fluent American English:

"My dear lady, I am very interested in introducing to you our new product, Water Lily brand five-blade fan. Our five-blade fan uses the latest principles in fluid mechanics, combined with the most popular ergonomics in the world Theory, highlighting the concept of green, environmental protection, and being close to nature. You can see that our fan uses five leaves, and the shape of the blades is made by the world's most famous propeller expert and the favorite student of the Soviet Union's meritorious scientist Savyev Personally designed, has been patented.

A special feature of this design is that the wind generated is very gentle and the noise is extremely low.Moreover, according to our calculations, under the premise of creating the same cool feeling, it can save 23% of electricity, which is of great significance for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and curbing global warming.Today, when the world is facing an energy crisis and oil prices continue to rise, such products must have great market potential. "

It's so tiring. It's really not something ordinary people can do to connect so many concepts together and justify themselves.While talking, Lin Zhenhua worshiped himself secretly in his heart.It's been too long since time travel, and he almost forgot some English words, and now he is in a hurry, and he can still make no mistakes. Could it be that this is the legendary golden finger of time travel?

"Oh, young man, you speak English really well, and your knowledge is really profound." The businessman praised, this young man gave her the impression that he had received modern education in a developed country, not at all. As rustic as the Chinese translator beside her.In China at that time, there were very few people who could understand concepts such as greenhouse gas emissions.If an enterprise can understand these concepts, it is obviously a very far-sighted enterprise.

"Thank you for this lady's compliment." Lin Zhenhua bowed slightly to her, showing a handsome smile.

"Young man, you can call me Belinda. I'm the sales director of Gart Company in the United States." The merchant said.

Gart is a medium-sized home appliance sales company in the United States. Of course, Lin Zhenhua doesn't know this.When Belinda came to China this time, she didn't intend to buy home appliances, she just wanted to see the Chinese market.Passing by the side of the road just now, when everyone was watching the fun, she saw the four five-leaf fans for the first time.With her professional nature, she keenly realized that this product has great potential in the US market.Now that she heard Lin Zhenhua's bluff, she became more determined.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Ms. Belinda, it's a great honor to meet you. My name is Lin Zhenhua, and you can call me Xiaolin. Are you interested in our fans?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin, I am very interested, may I talk to you?"

"of course can."

"But... are we going to talk here?" Belinda hesitated, and it was the same for anyone else, who dared to buy food at the roadside stall, and who knew whether the hygiene was up to standard.She looked back at the venue of the Canton Fair, and asked Lin Zhenhua: "I really want to know why you didn't exhibit in the venue, but chose to sell on the side of the road."

Lin Zhenhua laughed and said: "Oh, you misunderstood. In fact, our products have been exhibited in the exhibition all the time. It's just that there are too many excellent products in China. Maybe you haven't noticed. Our products are displayed in Jiangnan Province Foreign Trade The exhibition area of ​​the hall, you can see it there anytime.”

"Oh, that's right, but I think some things may be more appropriate to discuss in the negotiation room." Belinda said, "In addition, I also need to know about your qualifications. You know, we are not interested in Chinese companies. I don't understand."

"I understand very well." Lin Zhenhua said, "Ms. Belinda, the situation is like this. In order to avoid too many people in the exhibition hall, our foreign trade department has a limit on the number of people entering the exhibition hall. Now my colleague The sales promotion is going on in the exhibition hall, so it is inconvenient for me to go in. If you agree, I would like to ask one of my colleagues to take you to our exhibition area. You can talk to our sales representative inside first, and if you need At that time, I will apply to enter the venue to communicate with you in detail, what do you think?"

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Belinda said, and she immediately added: "However, Mr. Lin, if possible, I would prefer to communicate with you directly. I believe that we can find more common language."

"Okay, that's my wish too. No, for a beautiful lady like you, I think sitting together and negotiating is far more enjoyable than having lunch." Lin Zhenhua slapped Belin wildly in Westernized language Da's flattery.Speaking of which, Belinda can indeed be called a beauty, of course, this refers to her appearance 30 years ago.At Belinda's current age, being Lin Zhenhua's mother is considered an advanced maternal age.

"Xiaoman, Xiaoman, wake up." Chu Hongyang opened the taxi door and shouted to Schumann who was sleeping soundly inside.Schumann accompanied the professor to make inverters at the Polytechnic University the first night, and he didn't sleep all night. This time, the cat was catching up on sleep in the car.

Schuman was awakened by Chu Hongyang, opened his hazy eyes, collected himself, and asked, "What's the matter? Is it dawn?"

Chu Hongyang said: "It's already dawn, come out quickly, your business is coming!"

Schumann was taken aback, and asked with a blushing face, "Nonsense, how do you know what happened to me?"

Chu Hongyang didn't know that he had said something wrong. He said anxiously: "The boss talked about a client, and he said he had to go to the venue to see if he would decide whether to talk to us. The boss asked you to bring the client into the venue."

Schumann said in surprise: "Really? That's great. Hongyang, you close the car door first, and I'll touch up your makeup."

"What makeup do you need, you look good."

"What do you know!" Schuman was praised for his good looks, and he was beautiful in his heart, but he still pretended to be fierce, and reprimanded Chu Hongyang.

Ugh, women are such a hassle.Chu Hongyang slandered, closed the door, and said to Lin Zhenhua angrily: "Boss, wait a minute, she is inconvenient..."

　——
　　Sweating, there is a big BUG in the novel, the definition of inverter is wrong.

　　Inversion refers to DC to AC, not low voltage to high voltage.

　　I learned it in the past, but when I wrote it, I suddenly became dizzy and made a typo.

　　The one on the car is indeed called an inverter. It changes from 12V DC to 220V AC. There are two processes of inverter and boost. I was stunned and made a mistake.I hereby apologize.

　　Just edited the content in the main text.

　　Thanks to "Treading Snow and Flying Flowers" book friends for their criticism and advice.

　　PS: After I revised it for the first time, Bookmate Feihua criticized it again, so Chengzi revised it again.The present statement should be more correct.
