Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 161 Where do you get so many wonderful ideas?
Close the door.

Sun Zhigang, Chen Luyang and Junjun stared at each other.

Chen Luyang was a little nervous: "Brother-in-law, you don't have to go out to deliver the books, right?"

Sun Zhigang was helpless: "I gave it to Mr. Tian in the mail room, but he couldn't understand it either."

Chen Luyang explained carefully: "If you can understand it, I have annotated and transliterated each sentence, so you can follow it smoothly."

Sun Zhigang: "Luyang! Let's spare Mr. Tian."

……

Chen's father saved money all his life, and he was very frugal with his occasional pocket money, and he spent it all on the family.

Chen's mother worries about food and daily necessities every day. She wants to make every penny count and is always very frugal.

however!
After knowing that his son had published a book,
Without blinking an eye, the two of them took the little savings at home and ran to the provincial university to buy dozens of English books.

Give it to whoever you catch!
In just a few days,

Almost every worker in the forging workshop and the canteen has a copy.

Almost half of the people in the factory know about Old Chen’s child. Not only has he been featured in the newspaper, but he can now even publish a book!

Chen Luyang didn't know whether this kind act had stimulated the learning enthusiasm of all the colleagues in the factory.

However, the enthusiasm of the Chen family for learning English is like an overwhelming tide, one wave higher than the other!
Forget about Chen Lingling and Junjun,
Even Chen Dazhi, who had not touched a book for a long time, now wears glasses and occasionally recites a few English sentences from the book at home.

Finally it's the weekend again,
Writer Chen Luyang took the 100 yuan in royalties he earned and the admission ticket to the daily necessities products exhibition, and happily led his mother, elder sister, Xiaoling and Junjun to the daily necessities products exhibition.

Chen's father and brother-in-law are both busy with production in the workshop, one and the other has to work overtime.

The important task of leading the Chen family, young and old, fell on Chen Luyang's shoulders.

If the previous National Machinery and Heavy Industry Exhibition was a promotional exhibition,

Then this daily necessities products exhibition is a trade exhibition.

At this trade fair, small commodity factories from various provinces and cities in the south all brought their products.

Enamel cups, enamel basins, enamel plates, flashlights, panda and daisy soaps, snaps, harmonicas...

The stalls are next to each other, and all kinds of colorful and dazzling small commodities are displayed on the stalls. It is so lively!

It was the first time for Chen Lingling and Junjun to come to such a place, and they couldn’t stop looking.

"Mom, sis, there's a clothes shop over there, let's go take a look!!"

Chen Lingling excitedly pointed at the clothing stall in front and shook Chen's mother's sleeves coquettishly.

When Chen's mother and Chen Lihong saw the clothes, their eyes lit up.

It's a pity that Junjun is not interested in those clothes.
"Uncle, they said there's a toy stall up ahead, let's go check out some toys!"

Junjun tugged at Chen Luyang's sleeve, his bright dark eyes filled with curiosity and longing.

"Let's go!" Chen Luyang agreed readily.

"Mom, you take my sister and Lingling to look at clothes, and I'll take Junjun to look at toys."

"Wait until we finish looking at it, and I'll bring Junjun to find you."

Chen Lihong said seriously, "I'm telling you, Second Brother, you can't just waste your money on buying things for Junjun, do you hear me?"

Chen Luyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister! I know what's going on!"

Saying,

Chen Luyang held Junjun's hand tightly and said worriedly:

"Xiaoling, please keep an eye on our mom and sister. Don't lose them."

Chen Lingling glared at him angrily: "You're the one who lost it!"

The family split into two groups on the spot.

Junjun pulled Chen Luyang to the stall in front like a calf that could not be restrained.

"Tin Frog?"

Chen Luyang looked at the rows of green iron frogs on the ground and his eyebrows immediately raised.

The clockwork tin frogs on the stall were only the size of a palm, green in color, and had beautiful patterns on them.

At the stall, a man from the Huahai Tin Toy Factory squatted on the ground, tightened the spring, and then let go.

Suddenly,

The frog began to flutter left and right on the ground.

At that time, children had very few toys.

Junjun's eyes and attention were instantly drawn to the frog, and he squatted on the ground and started watching.

Gradually, more and more children and adults gathered around to watch.

"Here! Try it, kid~"

The man selling frogs generously handed the frog in his hand to Junjun.

"Thank you uncle!"

Junjun's eyes lit up, and he took the frog with his little hands and also learned to wind the spring like the boy.

Then put it on the ground!
The little frog fluttered on the ground, and Junjun was so happy that his eyes were curved into a line.

At this moment,
A little fat boy in the crowd also ran over, squatted on the ground and played frogs with Junjun.

Chen Luyang smiled and said, "Comrade, how much is this little frog?"

The man said, "Two yuan each."

Chen Luyang: "Is this thing prone to rust?"

Male comrade: "It's not easy! Our little frogs are painted on the outside, and the iron inside their abdomens is galvanized. We can play with them by winding them up, and they jump with great strength."

"Comrade, if you like it, buy one for your child."

Chen Luyang looked down at Junjun who was having fun, and without rushing to pay, asked:

"Comrade, is your factory's production of this little frog profitable?"

"Good! Very good!" The man straightened his chest when he said this.

"Don't underestimate our factory, which makes toys. We can't compare with other heavy industrial factories."

"But our little frogs are not only sold nationwide, but also exported to Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and Europe. They are quite popular!"

"Now, in addition to frogs, our factory also makes jumping chickens, jumping sparrows and swimming ducks!"

"Next, we should plan to make a toy car..."

This gay man seems to be born to be a marketer.

Among the crowd, the children were staring at the frog, while the adults were listening to his introduction.

Although we didn't see anything, we all had an extremely intuitive imagination of the metal clockwork toys of the Huahai Tin Toy Factory.

When he heard the words "toy car", Junjun said proudly:
"I have a toy car!"

The man bent down and said with a smile, "Little boy, where did you buy your toy car?"

Junjun: "My car was made for me by my grandpa!"

"My grandfather is an eighth-level worker at the provincial machinery factory. He made me a toy car this big!"

Saying,

Junjun also stretched out his little hand and roughly measured the length of the wire car.

Hearing that Junjun had a toy car, the fat boy playing with the frog next to him became unhappy.

He stood up, turned around and shouted towards the crowd behind him:

"Grandpa, I want a toy car too!"

Chen Luyang subconsciously looked in the direction where the little fat boy was shouting!
In the crowd, there was an old comrade wearing a grey coat, with half white hair, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, a wide mouth and a square chin, looking at his little grandson with a helpless expression.

Seeing Chen Luyang's eyes, the old comrade smiled and said:
"Xiao Chen'er, what a coincidence!"

"Director Wang???"

Chen Luyang looked at Wang Qingzhou in surprise. He never expected to see his factory director at the trade fair!

Wang Qingzhou held the little fat boy's hand and explained with a smile: "His parents are busy today and can't leave, so they asked me to bring him here to play."

The little fat boy shook Wang Qingzhou's clothes and begged, "Grandpa, I want a toy car too!"

Although the little fat boy is not very old, he knows that his grandfather is the director of a machinery factory.

The workers in the factory have all made toy cars, and he wants one too!

Wang Qingzhou was pestered by the little fat boy and coaxed him with kind words:

"Good good."

Turning around, Wang Qingzhou pointed at Chen Luyang and said with a helpless smile, "You! You really know how to cause me trouble."

"Did Dazhi make a toy car?"

Seeing Wang Qingzhou's serious expression, Chen Luyang quickly explained:
"It's not really a toy car."

"My dad made a little car frame for Junjun out of wire. It's okay to play with it by yourself, but it can't compare to this little clockwork frog."

Junjun was unhappy.

"Can we compare!"

"My uncle said that if we connect the two wheels with a small piece of wire, the car will roll on the ground."

"My uncle also said that when we put batteries in the car, we can control it remotely. You can make it drive however you want!"

"My uncle also said that in the future our cars won't burn gasoline, they'll just be plugged in and run on electricity."

"My uncle also said..."

My ancestor, please don’t say that!
Chen Luyang's eyelids twitched, and he quickly hugged Jiang Junjun in his arms and interrupted the kid.

If the previous few sentences can be considered divergent thinking.

Then the last sentence is definitely a fairy tale.

If Director Wang hears something is wrong, he won't have any other ideas.

Sure enough, Wang Qingzhou's eyes lit up.

"A remote-controlled car... and batteries in the car?"

"I'm just wondering, where do you come up with so many wonderful ideas, Xiao Chen?"

Chen Luyang covered it up: "I was just thinking about it and amusing the kids."

Wang Qingzhou shook his head: "It's not easy to make a child understand!"

He was also listening to what the comrades from the Huahai Tin Toy Factory had just said.

When he heard that a small toy factory could export its products to Southeast Asia and Europe, he was very excited!

Who doesn’t want to go out into the world!

Who is willing to keep learning from others and introducing other people's technology?

If possible, he also wants to sell the machinery factory's products across the country and even the world!

Looking down at the little fat boy,

Wang Qingzhou suddenly said, "I heard that you designed dozens of smart buckle toys before. Why didn't you show them to me?"

Chen Luyang: ???

"Director, those little gadgets of mine are just for children, how could they catch your eye?"

Wang Qingzhou waved his hand: "It's good for young people to be humble, but it's not good to be too humble."

"I also heard that you have published another book now?"

Chen Luyang listened to Wang Qingzhou's chatter, and the more he listened, the more confused he became about what Director Wang was trying to do.

After thinking about it,
Chen Luyang said honestly, "It's not really a book. It's just a study note that was noticed by the teachers at the provincial university, so they published it as a book."

Wang Qingzhou sighed: "Chen Dazhi gave birth to a good son!"
