"There are two main sizes of TVs, one is 9 inches and the other is 12 inches."

The middle-aged man wearing a gray sweater and thick-soled glasses began to introduce the product at the leader's signal.

He stood there a little stiffly, his raised arms as stiff as a puppet, but his words were still complete.

It can be heard that the introduction was prepared in advance and worked hard to memorize it.

"There are two types of twelve-inch TVs, one is color and the other is black and white..."

"Color TV——"

Li Huaide looked back at the person in charge of the electronic technology department and asked, "Is it mass production?"

"It's such a leader," the head of the technical department stepped forward and proactively introduced: "Production has begun, and the products are mainly supplied to foreign trade orders."

"Well - that's it -"

Li Huaide nodded, and the person in charge quietly motioned for the explanation staff to continue.

"Don't be nervous. Today we are here with the leaders to see everyone's work results."

Seeing that the other party was too nervous, Li Xuewu was interrupted by Lao Li and seemed to have forgotten his words.

He smiled and reassured: "Just explain the two types of TVs clearly and thoroughly."

"Um - thank you, thank you, leader."

The commentator was temporarily brought over by the technical department, and no one expected that Li Huaide would bring someone over for inspection.

The food factory was officially put into operation two days ago, but Director Li didn't even go to take a look. This was such a surprise, I really didn't expect it.

The electronics factory is not in Beijing, and the electronics factory started mass production of its products as early as last month.

Today, I suddenly led a team to the electronic and electrical research laboratory, which shocked these people.

"It's okay, I'm not here to cause trouble."

"Hahaha--"

After Li Xuewu finished speaking, Li Huaide made another joke, which made everyone at the scene laugh.

Xia Zhongquan made a gesture to Zhang Suqiu, the head of the electronic and electrical technology department, and the other party nodded clearly.

In the subsequent introduction, perhaps because he had regained his confidence or perhaps because the atmosphere had been relaxed, the commentator no longer stumbled or forgot his words.

Li Huaide, Jing Yunong and others listened attentively to his introduction, which was mainly about electrical technology.

Hongxing Factory's electronic and electrical production started very weakly, with almost zero foundation and zero scale.

The reason why I thought of engaging in electrical appliance production was because I took the convenience car provided by Sanhe Co., Ltd.

These Japanese businessmen have a stubborn streak in their heads, and they want to overtake others in a corner and dominate the domestic electrical appliance market.

What they pursue is the strategy of occupying the market with price and establishing the brand with the market.

During the time when the Red Star Factory was laying out and building an electronics factory in Steel City, Sanhe Co., Ltd. was also making big moves.

The three Nakamuras jointly invested in building electrical appliance shopping malls in major cities such as Tokyo.

It's not the high-rise building you imagined, it's a bit like the motorcycle sales outlet run by Li Xuewu.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs.

Small stores mean low investment costs and wide influence, making it easier to form a sales network and scale.

The reason why such a marketing policy is formulated is because Sanhe Co., Ltd.'s investment is too large.

The largest investment is the purchase of the production line. Although this part will be repaid in the form of commodity compensation, it is a large investment after all, bearing risks and interest costs.

The reason why Hongxing Factory can obtain so many production lines for electrical appliances is because Sanhe Co., Ltd. is taking risks and responsibilities with its own capital strength.

Of course, the televisions, refrigerators, washing machines and other electrical appliances we see today will all be fed back to Sanhe Co., Ltd. in the form of compensation trade.

Hongxing Factory cannot always OEM for others, so it must develop its own electronic and electrical research foundation.

The benefits of cooperation with Huaqing University are evident. These college students and professors are a group with real scientific research ability and perseverance.

Red Star Factory is willing to take money, but they are willing to work hard.

The electronic and electrical factory has just achieved mass production, and the research institute has already achieved certain basic results.

"How to conduct research?" After listening to the lecturer's introduction, Li Huaide looked back at Xia Zhongquan and asked, "Or should we dismantle other people's things?"

"There's no way around it."

Xia Zhongquan was very honest. He nodded helplessly and said, "The gap is obvious. There must be a learning process."

"How long will it take to study?"

Li Huaide was not particularly anxious, he just looked at the prosperous industry and wanted to ask questions.

Xia Zhongquan was not sure what Lao Li meant by asking, and looked at Li Xuewu with some embarrassment.

Jing Yunong, Cheng Kaiyuan and others also followed his gaze and looked at Dabai beside Lao Li.

It's quite interesting. A very tall man, standing among the crowd who are generally 1.61 meters tall, really stands out from the crowd.

The main reason is that the big man has not grown up in vain, and he knows a lot, especially about the world of people and work and business.

Li Xuewu glanced at Xia Zhongquan, pointed to the TV on the booth and asked, "Is it only 12 inches?"

"Well - it is said that there is a bigger one."

The commentator didn't know whether he understood the question he asked, so he answered it straightforwardly.

"I didn't know there was a bigger one?"

Li Xuewu looked at him with a smile, are all technical people so naive?

"The gap is huge. People have begun to popularize color televisions," he turned to look at Li Huaide and others and introduced: "This is also due to the 18th Olympic Games held in Japan in 1964."

"According to Japanese businessmen, around the 1960s, the penetration rate of TV sets in Japanese households was 54.5%."

He said with a very serious expression: "In the year of the Olympic Games, that is, 1964, this number soared to 93.5%."

"This means that out of 100 households, less than seven do not have a TV set."

"Such a high penetration rate?"

Cheng Kaiyuan asked in surprise: "Almost every household has a TV?"

"It's almost every family, so to speak."

Li Xuewu nodded, pointed to the color TV on the shelf and said, "This thing has been promoted since around the 1960s, and it is still available in 17-inch and 21-inch sizes."

Several leaders and cadres present showed surprise and disbelief.

But what Li Xuewu said cannot be random fabrication, let alone destroy his own ambition and increase the prestige of others.

“As an appliance with the best audio-visual experience, televisions were the first to become popular due to the promotion of the Olympic Games.”

Li Xuewu continued: "Along with televisions, washing machines, double-door refrigerators, water heaters, air conditioners, stereo combinations, microwave ovens, etc. have entered ordinary households."

These electrical appliances have already been explained by the technical staff during the visit just now. Li Xuewu does not need to explain what they are.

It is precisely because you have a certain understanding of these electrical appliances that you will feel the gap and be surprised when you listen to Li Xuewu's introduction.

"Isn't it shocking? A TV set has spurred the development of the entire electrical appliance market."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Its influence is not just that. According to the data given by Sanhe Co., Ltd., the Japanese automobile market has also begun to become active."

Everyone at the scene was silent. The gap was too huge and a bit unacceptable.

Even Lao Li, who was in a good mood, looked a little heavy.

Li Xuewu showed no pressure, smiled, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Think about it, although our existing production lines are not as developed and advanced as Japan's."

"However, the sales of electrical appliances in Japan have driven the automobile market. Does this prove that the development path Hongxing Factory is taking is correct?"

With this question, the eyes of everyone at the scene lit up with the flame of hope, and they were both thinking and excited.

Li Xuewu said calmly: "The gap is a fact before our eyes. We cannot close our eyes. We should open our eyes to see the world, anchor our goals, and move forward."

"good!"

The leaders and cadres present are still feeling what he said, and the technical side has already given feedback.

Their minds are simpler, their thoughts are simpler, and they are better able to eat the pie set by Li Xuewu.

Everyone clapped excitedly, their eyes full of small flames chasing advanced technology.

Li Huaide and others looked at the enthusiasm of the technicians in surprise, and also laughed and clapped.

------------------

"It's not too late to catch up now."

At the subsequent symposium, the heads of the electronic and electrical production departments, the heads of the technical departments and the technical representatives of the institute gathered together.

Li Huaide finally spoke. He first gave affirmation and support to the current electrical appliance production and research.

Later, in his speech, he elaborated on the factory management committee’s high hopes for the electronic and electrical industry.

The transformation of science and technology into actual productive forces and into excellent and advanced commodities is the most competitive...
