Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 267 Refrigerator
"That's true, but we still need to be careful. After all, there are still some powerful people in the country," said Fu Yuanfei.

"Well, this aspect definitely needs attention. That's why I'm anxious to make our own chips. As long as our chips are developed, it will be much more difficult for others to imitate them. Moreover, new production processes will be used to match the chips, which will increase the cost of imitation." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"So that's why. I was wondering why you were in such a hurry to make a chip." Fu Yuanfei said with an expression of "I see."

"There's nothing we can do. We always need to make progress. If we don't work hard, we will easily be eliminated." Yang Zhenyu said helplessly.

It may be a little difficult to ask these domestic copycat experts to innovate, but if we ask them to imitate, there will be absolutely no problem in this regard.

According to legend, many genuine factories were driven out of business by counterfeit factories.

There is no way. Originality requires R&D costs, while copycats only require imitation, which has no costs at all.

"With your technology, Director, if other manufacturers want to bring us down, they may need some more technology." Fu Yuanfei said jokingly.

"How's the second phase going? Is the production plan ready?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

"It's ready, and we guarantee that construction will start on schedule. What about the 19-inch color TV? That's considered top-notch in the country, right?" Fu Yuanfei said.

"It is inevitable that we will be outstanding. There will be more advanced ones in the future. However, there is no need to bring them out for the time being. Let's wait until we open up the home appliance market first." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"No, you have a more advanced color TV?" Fu Yuanfei said in surprise.

"That's right. Even though the current 19-inch one looks quite big, in the future, we may be able to make a 40-inch or even 80-inch one." Yang Zhenyu said deliberately.

"Come on, it's 80 inches. Is that still a TV? It's just a movie theater." Fu Yuanfei said in disbelief.

"Haha, just wait for Qiao, it will be done sooner or later, but as for the time, only God knows." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

The current technology for making a TV that big is quite difficult, and it is still unknown whether Fu Yuanfei can wait until that day.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go to the workshop." Fu Yuanfei waved his hand and said.

"I'll leave the production to you. Please also take care of Xiao Li. I think this guy is worth training." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"I understand. This kid is really down-to-earth. Let's give him a try and train him. Many things in our factory are different from those in other factories, and the work that needs to be done is also different." Fu Yuanfei shook his head and said.

This Xiao Li was laid off when the relevant departments were downsized. He had met Yang Zhenyu once before, so he came here to seek refuge.

Yang Zhenyu inquired about it and found out that this guy had great abilities, but he had offended someone, so he was laid off.

"Hey, everyone, what are you looking at?"

When Yang Zhenyu returned to the Central Courtyard after get off work, he found that everyone was gathered in the Central Courtyard, and they all looked very excited.

"Director Yang is back? Go check it out. Sha Zhu's family actually got a refrigerator, and your family got one too."

"That's right, it's a refrigerator. It's the first of its kind in our compound."

“This thing isn’t cheap, is it?”

These people were talking about the situation.

It turned out that He Yuzhu went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a refrigerator today, and brought back Yang Zhenyu's as well.

So, all the neighbors in the compound came to see what was new. After all, there was no such thing as a refrigerator in this compound.

"So that's what it is. I really didn't know. I'll go take a look." Yang Zhenyu said happily.

Before, Yang Zhenyu just made a request, and he didn't know when the goods would arrive. He didn't expect to get it so soon, and He Yuzhu brought it home so quickly.

"Hey, you're back. Come and see how our refrigerator is." He Yuzhu went out and saw Yang Zhenyu, and pulled him into the house.

"No, it doesn't take a while." Yang Zhenyu said helplessly.

Things like refrigerators are rare nowadays, but Yang Zhenyu is a time traveler after all, and he has seen a lot of these things. Moreover, these are bigger and more convenient to use than the ones we have now.

"Go take a look and then go home." He Yuzhu pulled Yang Zhenyu into the house.

In fact, refrigerators of this era are really not very big. The bottom is the refrigerator, and the small space on the top is the freezer.

Of course, there are many that only have refrigeration function.

In short, they are not big and can only hold a limited amount of things. However, these days, there are also limited things that can be put in the refrigerator.

"The people at the supply and marketing cooperative said that this thing needs to be left alone for a day after it comes back. It's still there," said He Yuzhu, pointing at the refrigerator that was not powered on.

Yang Zhenyu nodded without saying anything. In fact, there was no need to do that. As long as there was no tilting during the storage and transportation process and the condensate did not move, this process would not be necessary.

Of course, given the current situation, it is impossible to avoid tilting during transportation, so it can only be left alone for a while.

"How's your freezer?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

"It has been placed in the store and is also standing still. It can hold relatively more things, so the connecting section is enough." He Yuzhu said.

"That's fine. We can prepare more ingredients later and don't have to prepare them every day." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Of course. There are also things like beer that can be chilled. When summer comes, chilled beer will definitely be a best-seller." He Yuzhu laughed.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good business mind." Yang Zhenyu said jokingly.

"Well, don't people like to have two full glasses of beer in the summer? But that stuff is not cheap." He Yuzhu waved his hand and said.

"Okay, let's see the effect of this thing after we power it on tomorrow. I'll make you a few bigger ones later." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

"Okay, the main thing is to let you take a look at this thing. It's really not bad." He Yuzhu nodded and said.

"I can stock up on some popsicles later. Summer is here, and we can't be without popsicles." Yang Zhenyu said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, we must prepare some of this. However, it's still early now. It won't be too late to wait until summer comes." He Yuzhu said with shining eyes.

Summer is here, who doesn't like cold drinks?

However, in this day and age, not every household has a refrigerator, so it is impossible to eat popsicles at any time.

"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you anymore. I have to go home. Our lives are getting better and better." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Okay, you go back and we'll talk about it later." He Yuzhu also nodded.

"Are you back? Come and take a look at our refrigerator and see how it is?" said the eldest aunt happily.

"Why is it different from the one at He Yuzhu's house?" Yang Zhenyu asked curiously.
