Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 872 We Don’t Sell

After arriving in Kyoto, I rested for half a day.

At noon, Chen Changan and his group had lunch at Nara Hotel.

In the afternoon, the delegation visited Panasonic.

Panasonic Corporation sent Konosuke Matsushita to receive the delegation.

This person can be considered an old friend. He was very active when Chen Changan was preparing to go abroad to inspect the color TV production line.

Unfortunately, Chen Changan was somewhat prejudiced against Xiao Rizi. If there were other options, he didn't want Xiao Rizi to make money for himself.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Panasonic first demonstrated the rice cooker.

Unfortunately, since the patent for the new rice cooker is in the hands of the automobile manufacturer, the rice cooker displayed by Xiao Rizi is only the first generation of ceramic inner pot.

Today's city of Beijing has imported a lot of electrical equipment through the 43 Plan and is no longer in the era of power shortage.

Members of the inspection team, who doesn’t have an electric rice cooker at home?

When I saw the rice cooker with a ceramic liner, I immediately smiled.

The daily life these days made them realize the gap between the two sides.

Even though Chen Changan was explaining, the fact was that others had it and he didn't.

Although the country did not seem to be so backward in color television and automobile manufacturing thanks to the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory, it was not good enough in other aspects.

Now they have finally found a little psychological comfort. At least the rice cookers we use in China are no longer equipped with this bulky ceramic inner pot.

The members of the inspection team who had regained the advantage immediately felt relieved.

Next, when Panasonic showed off its microwave oven, everyone's expressions became less solemn.

After Konosuke Matsushita put a cold steamed bun into the microwave, he began his explanation.

This time, without waiting for the translator to speak, Chen Changan spoke first.

“This is the microwave oven, the day before I came here with the inspection team.

Our car factory has already started production, and it has been a week now.

It is very likely that mass production has already begun, but Xiaori’s microwave ovens do not yet have the capacity for mass production.

A microwave oven, as the name suggests, uses microwaves to heat food.

There is a magnetron inside the microwave oven, which converts electrical energy into microwaves.

Microwave is a kind of electromagnetic wave. When it encounters food, it causes the water molecules in the food to vibrate at high speed.

Water molecules absorb microwave energy, generating frictional heat, thereby heating the food.

If you often have leftovers at home, you can buy a microwave oven to heat up the food when you get home.

Of course, you can also use it as an oven to make bread and the like.”

Following Chen Changan's explanation, everyone's curiosity about microwave ovens disappeared.

Let’s not talk about who has leftovers these days. There are many children in the family, so they eat as much as they can, so there is no such thing as leftovers.

Even if there is, you can just heat it up on the stove. Buying a microwave oven just for this is like taking off your pants to fart.

Chen Changan also guessed what everyone was thinking and continued.

“The developed countries in Europe and America are capitalist societies, which are different from our country.

The company does not provide lunch for most of their workers.

Of course, this is not absolute. Some companies with good treatment also have their own canteens.

But whether it is students in school or workers in factories, most of them bring their own meals.

Especially in daily life, eating out is too luxurious, so we always bring our own food.

With a microwave oven, students and workers can heat up their meals in just a few minutes. It is very convenient.

Microwave ovens are not of much use to our country.

Basically every unit has its own canteen, and it is used very frequently in European and American countries.

Not only that, European and American countries prefer to eat foods such as bread and pizza.

This can also be made in a microwave, so it is more suitable for European and American countries.”

Chen Changan's words were well-reasoned and everyone in the inspection team kept nodding their heads.

This thing is really not very useful in China, as most units have their own canteens, but it is different abroad.

For a moment, the members of the inspection team began to feel a sense of pride in the country's system.

Both sides have their own translators.

After translating Chen Changan's words, Konosuke Matsushita, who was standing by, immediately gave Chen Changan a thumbs up.

"You must be Director Chen of the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory, right? I have heard of your name for a long time.

Although this is our first meeting, your name is very familiar to me. "

“Mr. Matsushita is too polite. In the field of home appliances, we still need to learn from Matsushita.

I heard that your company is in competition with Sony.

Sony is about to launch a new product, the Walkman, and Panasonic will probably have a corresponding product as well.

I wonder if you can show it to us. If your company’s products are good, we can consider importing the Walkman production line.”

Through this period of contact with Chen Changan, the members of the inspection team gradually got to know Chen Changan's character.

Although Chen Changan knows a lot, he never deliberately exaggerates something just because he doesn't know it.

Although they don't know what the so-called Walkman is.

But you have to know that along the way, all the products of Xiao Rizi were not worthy of Chen Changan's attention.

Even the Shinkansen high-speed train, which is considered very powerful by everyone, is not in Chen Changan's eyes.

Although no one knows what this walkman is, since Chen Changan has taken a fancy to it, it must be a good thing.

No one said anything to stop it, they just stood aside and watched.

Chen Changan is not a person who likes to joke casually. Since he said it, there must be a purpose behind it.

Although there was a suspicion of acting on one's own, after seeing the translator's expression when he heard the word "Walkman", I knew that this matter was not simple.

After a brief communication between Matsushita Konosuke and the translator, the other party replied.

"Mr. Chen, I don't know where you got this information from.

But we at Panasonic have no plans to produce Walkmans, let alone have production lines to sell to you."

Although this is what he said, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the other party is lying.

Although Konosuke Matsushita appeared calm, the translator betrayed them.

"That's a shame. Sony has to take the lead in such a great product as the Walkman.

It seems that Sony is still the undisputed number one in the field of home appliances.

Next we will consider whether to go to Sony to discuss the Walkman production line."

Konosuke Matsushita could no longer hold back and spoke in Chinese.

"Even Sony would not sell a production line for such an important product."
