Despite this, the East China trip still urged Fang Xiaoyu to make more money every day, which annoyed Fang Xiaoyu. But now his inventions have reached a bottleneck stage. Everything that can be easily invented has been invented, but what he knows has not been invented.
The level of products, technology and craftsmanship were not enough, so Fang Xiaoyu decided to explore his own potential and try to tap out the potential from the things he was now capable of manufacturing.
Under the current circumstances, the one that can best tap the potential is electricity. Electricity is an indispensable energy source for modern society and the starting point of the second industrial revolution.
Without electricity, many things cannot be done. You cannot watch TV, cannot surf the Internet, cannot turn on computers, cannot use air conditioners, electric heaters, electric lights, and even complete sets of electrical appliances and kitchen utensils in the kitchen will become waste. However, the indispensability of electricity is based on the
For a series of electrical equipment, if there are not so many electrical equipment, the electricity can only be reduced to auxiliary energy, which has no effect other than allowing the factory to drive the machinery.
Now the entire Zhonghua Territory has begun the construction of new power stations. Due to the slow construction of hydropower, it is already insufficient for use. For this reason, Fang Xiaoyu had to build a number of thermal power stations. Fortunately, there are many coal resources in the Zhonghua Territory and they are sufficient.
Of course this is just a stopgap measure.
Fang Xiaoyu understands the importance of sustainable development very well, so he will try his best to avoid polluting the environment. When the technology matures in the future, wind power stations, solar electronics, tidal power stations and even nuclear power stations are all within Fang Xiaoyu's calculations, and those with low technical difficulty will
It is possible that when the Lanfang Empire is completely controlled by Fang Xiaoyu, he plans to build a super hydropower station on the Hun River, which has the richest water in the country.
All the prefectures in Tongsan County, which have already started development, have basically completed the laying of electric wires. Of course, in addition to factory machines, the electrical equipment currently used is only street lights or electric lights in homes, and other electrical equipment has not yet become popular.
Although electric lights have made people feel convenient, Fang Xiaoyu feels that this is not enough. He needs more electrical equipment to increase people's dependence on electricity. Only by increasing this dependence and then showing it to the outside world through the window of Tongshan County can we
Let the whole world gradually start using electricity so that he can make more money, because the patents for alternating current and direct current are now in his hands, and energy patents have a different feature from other patents. The duration of this patent is
Seventy years.
Originally this was to reward those who contributed to energy supply, but once Fang Xiaoyu took advantage of this loophole, he would gain a steady stream of wealth and become the richest man in the world. And the basis of all this was that Fang Xiaoyu planned to use an electrical appliance
Open the market and it is radio.
Some people may think that compact radios are powered by batteries and do not use much electricity. If you think so, you are wrong. In modern people's impression, radios are small devices that can be held in one hand and consume very little power.
But those radios were a product of the era of large-scale integrated circuits.
When radios first appeared, they were still large, bulky machines that used vacuum tubes and were powered by alternating current. Therefore, their power consumption was not low. Not only could they be directly connected to alternating current, they even used a lot of electricity.
Refrigerators and air conditioners from later generations.
Radio is nothing to modern people, because modern people have long been accustomed to modern tools such as computers, the Internet, and mobile phones, and they no longer care about electrical appliances that can only listen to sound. However, for this country with no entertainment and information channels
In a closed world, having such a tool is very tempting.
In order to expand his influence, Fang Xiaoyu began to publicly display and sell various radios in his own major shops in Tongshan County. Various radios with beautiful shapes soon became the most eye-catching products. People gathered to watch this strange machine and used it as a radio.
When the human voice came out clearly, there were bursts of exclamation from the crowd. This was the trial broadcast program of the China Radio Station established by Fang Xiaoyu, and they were preparing for the official broadcast.
For this reason, Fang Xiaoyu not only had an idea, but also put a Lanting Electrical Appliances trademark on it for the electrical appliance company. He also launched a promotion for the first time in the store, that is, the radio could be returned unconditionally within ten days after it was sold, and a coupon was given for buying the radio.
Every time you purchase a radio at a major store under the China Group Company, you will receive a three-yuan cash coupon. In the future, you can use this cash coupon to purchase items at major stores under the China Group Company to fully offset the same value in cash.
With this kind of promotion method, the sales of radios were extremely hot, and even went out of stock several times, which made Wu Fengle, who was in charge of sales, grinning from ear to ear, and praised Fang Xiaoyu as a sales genius.
With this promotion, Fang Xiaoyu suddenly had an idea and began to transform major stores into supermarkets. At the same time, he increased the types of goods and opened up the market with various unique products of China Group Company. The supermarkets only changed the sales model, which did not affect the stores.
The changes were not major, so the store renovation was completed quickly.
Under the temptation of this novel sales model and various unique products, China Group's Xinyuan supermarket chain has achieved great success, with sales rising steadily. As for those radios that are guaranteed to be returned unconditionally within ten days, except for some that have malfunctions,
No one returned or exchanged it at all. Even those buyers who had faults came to ask for repairs rather than exchanges, because the radio has become popular throughout China within a few days. If you want to buy it, you have to make an appointment in advance. Who would be stupid enough to return it?
Woolen cloth?
A few months later, businessmen from the Western Continent who came to China to purchase goods brought radios back to their home countries. However, the countries in the Western Continent had no electricity supply at all, let alone radio stations. Although they made fantastic claims about the radio, no one believed it.
Obvert, the largest wealthy businessman in the Nantes Empire, first discovered the business opportunities in the radio. He applied to the Chinese leader to build a radio station and a hydropower station. Fang Xiaoyu immediately agreed and sent an experienced engineering team to the Nantes Empire to provide him with
help.
Obvit quickly established a small hydropower station and a radio station. After hearing the clear human voice, radio became popular in the Western Continent. Obvit immediately began to sell the radios he had hoarded, and he made a fortune as a result.
.Seeing Obvet's huge profits, other businessmen also followed suit in building power plants and radio stations, and ordered large quantities of radios from China.
Fang Xiaoyu made more and more money from electricity patent fees and selling radios, which soon exceeded Fang Xiaoyu's expectations. He used these funds to continue to expand his electrical appliance factory, and Lanting electrical appliances soon became the largest in the world temporarily.
Also the only electrical appliance supplier.
Of course, these are all things for later. The only thing Fang Xiaoyu has to do now is to fully implement electric power equipment through electric lights and radios throughout the Chinese territory.
In Fang Xiaoyu's vision, the first industrial revolution represented by the steam engine had already begun in the Saar Empire. He failed to take the lead because he started decades late, and even was nearly fifty years behind the countries in the Western Continent.
The accumulation of technology has made it possible that although it has many transcendent technologies, it is far inferior to its opponent on an industrial scale.
Since the first industrial revolution was a step late, the second industrial revolution will take the lead to recover the losses. Fang Xiaoyu is ready to take the lead in the second industrial revolution powered by electricity and internal combustion engines, and strive to expand the industry during this period.
By opening up the gap with other powerful powers in the Western Continent, it quickly became stronger and became one of the superpowers in the world, in order to gather the wealth of this world faster and shorten the time to return home.
Although Fang Xiaoyu has a complete set of plans for economic construction, he also knows that a strong country cannot be achieved only by increasing economic strength. A strong country is forged through trials of blood and fire and victory in wars.
If you have not defeated a powerful country that is recognized by the world, it will not be recognized by the major powers, just like the United States back then. Although the United States became the world's number one in industry at the end of the 19th century, no one recognized it. European countries still call it
upstart.
Only after it played a decisive role and won victory in the two world wars was the United States recognized as a world power. Even China in the 21st century is facing the same problem.
Although the Chinese Communist Party has not yet established a nation, it must take this path if it wants to be recognized by the international community. There is no shortcut. But so far, the Chinese Communist Party has not truly defeated a powerful country that is recognized by the international community.
Japan and New Guia were just weak countries that were not recognized. Although the Cossack Empire was considered a powerful country, it was also considered a second-rate power. Moreover, its victory was not complete, and it was just with the help of geographical advantages.
These two wars from land to sea did not cause the Cossack Empire to suffer losses to the point of breaking its muscles and bones. Therefore, the Chinese Territory did not defeat the opponent in the true sense. This is why the Cossack Empire has always been unconvinced.
Unless it defeats a powerful country in an upright and upright manner, the Chinese Empire cannot truly rise. For this goal, Fang Xiaoyu has set his sights on the Boston Empire, which has the ability to compete with the Chinese Empire for hegemony in the Eastern Ocean.
The Boston Empire is located in the northern part of the New World. It is a large empire with an area of more than nine million square kilometers. The industrial power is developed in the central part, the mineral resources are rich in the north, and the agricultural cultivation in the south is very prosperous.
The eastern part is the commercial center of the empire, responsible for commercial exchanges with the Western Continent. Due to its huge industrial base and not far from the Western Continent, its national strength is very strong, and its total industrial production exceeds that of China by ten times.
If there are too many, they are an absolutely powerful enemy.
Although the Boston Empire is not considered a great power, they are also considered to be an economic power. Defeating such a country will be very helpful to improve the status of the Chinese Leader in the world. In addition to the reputation of defeating the Cossack Empire, the Chinese Leader can also be regarded as a powerful country.
