Chapter 183 Product Packaging
"You want to buy them all?"

Hearing Xu Qiang's words, everyone present was shocked.

You know, one motorcycle costs 400 yuan, and two motorcycles cost a total of 800 yuan!

Although Wang Yongsheng and others have made some money recently, many people cannot afford to spend so much money to buy motorcycles.

Although Wang Yongsheng can definitely afford it, these two trucks have been in the warehouse for nearly two years, and it is still unknown whether they can be used.

"That's right, I want these two machines." Xu Qiang nodded.

Xu Qiang is now very wealthy, with tens of thousands of yuan in cash in his hands, so eight hundred yuan is no problem for him.

Although it is still unknown whether these two motorcycles can be used, based on Xu Qiang's knowledge of the equipment these days, he feels that there should be no problem, otherwise they would not have offered a high price of 400 yuan for each vehicle.

Moreover, the structure of the old-fashioned motorcycle is very simple. After all, it is a technology from the World War II era. Its main feature is that it is durable and easy to maintain. It is not as sophisticated and complicated as later machines. As long as there are corresponding parts, it is still very convenient to maintain.

Besides, most drivers these days know how to repair cars. At worst, you can find a mechanic and spend a little money to restart the car.

"Brother Qiang, why did you buy two cars? You don't need two motorcycles to go to work, right?" Wang Yongsheng asked puzzledly.

"I bought these two cars. One is for my own travel, and the other one can be lent to you. Aren't you going to deliver goods outside? This thing can be used. It can hold at least 100 kilograms of things in one bucket, and it can travel far." Xu Qiang smiled slightly, and then said: "But you have to find the gasoline yourself, I won't fill it up for you."

For Xu Qiang, he has always wanted to buy a motor vehicle. After all, traveling in this mountain valley is not very convenient. With a motorcycle, it will be much more convenient whether going to a town or a county town.

Although Xu Qiang already has a tractor, it is slow and consumes a lot of fuel, so it can generally only be used to transport fertilizers. If you want to travel, sometimes it is not even as convenient as a bicycle.

In fact, if possible, Xu Qiang still wants to buy a car, but cars these days are very expensive, even a millionaire like him can't afford it. What's more, the country has regulations that private purchase of cars is not allowed. In this case, a motorcycle is actually the best means of transportation Xu Qiang can buy.

As for buying two at one time, Xu Qiang actually bought them for Wang Yongsheng and others to use. In this way, Wang Yongsheng could open up soap and shampoo sales points in a more distant factory area. After all, Xu Qiang did it to make more money for himself.

"Okay, that's great." Wang Yongsheng's eyes lit up when he heard that.

In fact, Wang Yongsheng also wanted to buy a scooter. After all, besides being practical, it was also really cool to ride.

Although he had made some money during this period, it was nothing compared to Xu Qiang. Moreover, he had just ordered goods worth 6000 yuan from Xu Qiang two days ago, and he didn't have much cash on hand. Since Xu Qiang was willing to buy the car for him, Wang Yongsheng naturally wanted it.

"Lei Zi, when can you let me see the car? As long as the things are in order, I will pay immediately." Xu Qiang looked at Lei Jun and said seriously.

"I'll talk to my uncle tonight and I'll probably get a reply in a day or two," said Lei Jun.

"Thank you then." Xu Qiang said thank you with a smile.

"We are all brothers, why should we be polite?" Wang Yongsheng smiled and said, "Brother Qiang, I have thought about the product packaging you mentioned before. We have a printing house in our county, and they can print soap packaging paper, but shampoo is more difficult to package. Our factory's waste station can't collect many cans and bottles in a month..."

"Actually, you can package shampoo into small plastic bags, one bag can be used for one wash." Xu Qiang thought for a moment, then said: "This small bag is about the size of a firework box, which is two plastic bags pressed together. I wonder if we have such equipment here..."

The equipment Xu Qiang was talking about is actually a laminator, but he just couldn't remember the name of it.

In fact, since the 25s, many domestic shampoos have had this kind of packaging, including Seagull Shampoo Cream (20 grams per bag), Tianjin Lengxiang Shampoo Cream ( grams per bag), Jiangsu Bailinglu Shampoo Cream, etc., all have this kind of small bag packaging.

Moreover, these packages are also very simple, just an ordinary small plastic bag with sealed sides. It is also very convenient to use. One bag is just enough for one wash of hair, so in bathhouses of this era, you can often see such small bags on the ground.

"Yes, I think so too." Wang Yongsheng agreed. He said, "The shampoo we bought in glass bottles is not very convenient when we take a bath in the bathhouse. The floor and the edge of the pool are too slippery. It is easy to break if we are not careful. Many people have told me about this and asked me to use plastic bottles or iron boxes in the future, but where can I find those things..."

"The thing you took is a plastic packaging machine. We don't sell it here. You can only buy it in Fuzhou." At this time, Lei Jun interrupted again.

"You seem to know a lot, how do you know that?" Wang Yongsheng asked.

"I have a relative who works at the Fuzhou Dairy Factory. The waffle cakes produced by their factory are packaged in plastic bags. I have been to their factory when I was a child. It looks quite simple. They just put the waffle cakes in a bag and then use a machine to press it to seal the two sides. It's just like using a soldering iron. The plastic bag will stick together when it is heated. It's very simple." Lei Jun said.

"So that's what's going on." Everyone suddenly understood after hearing this.

In fact, product packaging in those days was much simpler than that of later generations. It was either plastic bags or glass bottles. Higher-end products used tin boxes. In short, it was a planned economy after all, and civilian products basically had no trouble selling, so no manufacturer would bother to work hard on packaging.

"Can you buy that kind of sealing machine?" Wang Yongsheng asked.

"It is said that this thing needs to be customized. I haven't heard of any manufacturer producing it here." Lei Jun said, spreading his hands.

"I don't think it's necessary to buy a special sealing machine. We can seal the plastic bags ourselves." Xu Qiang said after thinking for a while.

"Can we seal the plastic bags ourselves?" Everyone looked at Xu Qiang with disbelief on their faces.

"What's so difficult about this? The sealing machines on the market simply use heat to stick two layers of plastic bags together. We can find a saw blade or an iron bar, and then put the sealing part on the saw blade, heat it with a candle, and we're done." Xu Qiang said.

At this time, Xu Qiang had completely recalled the principle of this sealing machine. When he was in college, in order to prevent unused laundry detergent from getting damp, he used this simple method to seal the laundry detergent bags. The operation was not difficult, but the efficiency was a little slow.

"We can also use two pieces of iron sheets to make a small guillotine that can be closed. After heating, we can cut it and seal the cut part directly. In addition, shampoo is easy to leak, so we can seal it twice, so it will not leak easily." Xu Qiang added.

"Yes, this is a really good idea!" Wang Yongsheng and others couldn't help but shout out when they heard it.

Unexpectedly, the shampoo packaging problem that had troubled them for so long was solved by Xu Qiang with just a few words.

"You are truly worthy of being a model worker of our factory!"

"That's why Brother Qiang is able to develop so many products for the factory. His brain is simply too good to be true!"

"Now I understand why the factory director is so nice to Brother Qiang..."

For a moment, everyone praised Xu Qiang.

If these people previously thought that Xu Qiang had received so many honors from the factory only because of his good skills, now these people have finally seen the gap between them and Xu Qiang.

Some people are just much smarter than average people, and sometimes they can solve big problems with just a few words.

"Lei Zi, please contact your relatives as soon as possible. I want to buy those two cars as soon as possible so that others won't take them away." Xu Qiang reminded.

"Don't worry about this. I will go to my uncle's house tonight and settle this matter."

"That's good!" Xu Qiang smiled and nodded after hearing that.

Afterwards, everyone toasted to Xu Qiang, and the atmosphere became joyful again...

……

At the same time, all the staff in the factory's technical department were busy.

After Li Cunzhu launched the new product project, he mobilized almost all the resources of the department, including the best technicians and auxiliary staff from various workshops.

With Li Cunzhu's prestige in the factory, both other leaders in the factory and front-line workers were very cooperative. Each workshop also specially selected some technical backbones to help Li Cunzhu with his project, complete the processing of samples and improve the procedures, which can be said to have given him enough face.

Li Cunzhu himself has been working overtime recently, constantly modifying drawings and data to ensure that the samples can be produced as soon as possible.

For domestic military experts, products such as radio fuse high-frequency sensitivity shielding boxes have always been difficult to overcome technical bottlenecks, not only in terms of design, but also in terms of material selection. Therefore, although this product looks simple in principle, in fact, there are still many details that need to be resolved in order to truly achieve the ideal performance indicators.

As the youngest team leader in the technical department, Liu Siying was naturally assigned by Li Cunzhu to his new product project team.

Liu Siying was able to devote herself to the research and development of new products after the TVU entrance examination. After working overtime for three consecutive nights, she had designed the appearance of the shielding box. Next, she was going to make a sample and then conduct preliminary tests...
