Volume 1 Chapter 0023 Rifle production, counterfeiting will be investigated
"We can do it for a long time, but I estimate that the period of huge profits can only last for one or two years, and then the profits will become very thin. We won't do it for a long time, just to gain an advantage first.
Moreover, the machines we make are not available to ordinary people and they cannot afford them.
For a period of time, the quality of our tapes will be better than others, and buyers will definitely recognize our tapes, so we can sell them at a higher price.
Print a few words on the tapes we produce: Made by Rifle, must be top quality, counterfeiters will be prosecuted! "
"So our tape is called Rifle Brand?"
"Well, let's call it the Rifle Belt. When people who buy cassettes spread the word, everyone will recognize our brand."
"But isn't this business shady? Why do we need to put up a brand?"
"You have to put a brand on it, because the buyers don't know whether it's good or bad. They only care about whether the money they spend is worth it. We sell expensive products for a reason. We sell famous brands, not common goods."
After explaining
A week after the two left, Nan Yi got a sick leave note and went back to Wenchangwei to train the people who copied the tapes.
He also learned as he went along, watching instructional videos, figuring out how to operate, and teaching others at the same time.
Fortunately, it is not too difficult and you can operate it after a little practice.
However, it took quite a lot of trouble to build the soundproof workshop. The soundproof materials were too difficult to get. Nan Yi couldn't just wait there, so he could only teach the brigade's bricklayers to simulate the operation overnight.
After confirming that the bricklayer could do the job, he hurried back to the capital.
As soon as he stepped into the school gate, Xu Qian stopped him.
"Nan Yi, you broke your promise."
"Wangwangwang!" Nan Yi imitated the barking of a dog and asked, "Are you satisfied?"
"Bah, who asked you to bark like a dog? I know you took sick leave, are you feeling better now?"
"It's okay. Why are you so free and hanging around the gate at this time?"
"What? I'm working on a blackboard newspaper. I'm hungry, so I plan to go out and eat something."
"Then you go quickly. I have to get to the classroom quickly. I have missed so many days of classes, I need to make up for it as soon as possible."
"Okay, the play is still going on. You have to go with me to watch it in two days."
"Okay, got it."
In two days, I caught up on the missed courses and it was already the weekend.
Lai Biao, holding a Jiangguang 205 camera [renamed Phoenix in 1983], said in a showy manner that he was going out to collect folk songs. Liu Zhen wanted to hide in the room and listen to "Don't Pick Wild Flowers by the Roadside". Nan Yi returned to the depths of Baihua alone.
Stepping into the courtyard, Nan Ruoyin was helping Aunt Yu paste matchboxes in the yard.
Seeing Nan Yi approaching, he jumped into Nan Yi's arms and said, "Dad, you haven't been home for a few days."
"Didn't Dad tell you before that I would be going to the south for a few days?"
"Oh, I know, but I just miss Daddy."
"Yeah, Dad misses you too." Nan Yi stroked Nan Ruoyin's head and said lovingly, "You've gained weight again. Have you only been eating meat these days?"
"No, I gained weight because I didn't eat meat for several days. Dad, didn't you tell me that animals that eat vegetarian food are fat, but animals that eat meat are not fat?"
"Wow, you're really smart. You know how to use my spear to poke my shield."
"Hee hee hee."
"Aunt Yu, today is the weekend. I am taking Ruoyin out to play, so we are not eating at home today. If you want to cook here, you can cook here. If not, you can also bring the dishes home to cook."
"That's great. Once I've finished pasting these matchboxes, I'll go back too."
"Well, you can come back tomorrow morning."
Having said that, Nan Yi carried Nan Ruoyin out of the courtyard.
The little girl rarely has the chance to go out, so everything she sees feels new to her.
As soon as I walked out of the alley, a "bang" sound was heard in my ears.
"Oh wow, popcorn machine."
As soon as he heard the sound, Nan Yi knew someone was making popcorn.
"Nan Yi, why are you back again?"
Aunt Yu was surprised when she saw Nan Yi coming back carrying Nan Ruoyin.
"Someone is making popcorn at the entrance of the alley. Aunt Yu, bring half a pound of rice and some sugar. I'll go make some too."
"Don't take the sugar. There must be saccharin in the popcorn."
"Give it to Ruofin. Sugarcane is not healthy."
"You are really particular. I'll get it."
Aunt Yu went into the kitchen and took out a rice jar and a glass canning jar.
Nan Yi took a look and said, "Aunt Yu, come with me too. When the explosion comes, you can bring the things back."
"okay."
The two of them walked up to the person making popcorn, and the two kids in front of them had just finished making popcorn, so they had some free time.
"Master, how much is one shot?"
"Take the rice yourself, one cent."
"I don't need your saccharine."
"It's your two cents off."
"Okay, here's the money, please explode."
The popcorn chef poured the rice into the cannon, then took the sugar and asked, "Do you want something sweet or light?"
"Make it lighter, so my daughter can eat it."
After the master put the sugar in place, he placed the gun barrel flat on the fire and pulled the bellows. The flames suddenly jumped up with a shrill sound.
First, the barrel was rotated quickly to allow the barrel to be heated evenly. After a minute or two, the rotation speed slowed down. After a while, the master shouted, "It's time to fire."
"Master, you put it away."
Nan Yi did not help Nan Ruoyin cover her ears. The sound of firecrackers was not loud or soft. It would just scare her a little but would not damage her eardrum.
With a bang, the little girl was not scared. Instead, her eyes brightened when she saw the rice grains on the black sack that was already patinaed with black.
"Dad, let me go."
As soon as Nan Yi put the little girl down, she pounced on the sack, grabbed a handful of food with her little hands and stuffed it into her mouth, then grabbed another handful and stuffed it into her little pocket.
After a while, her little pocket could no longer hold anything.
"Dad, lend me your schoolbag ."
Nan Yi took the schoolbag off his shoulder, took out the things inside and put it in his pocket, then held it upside down and shook it to shake out the debris inside.
"Here you go. Remember to give it back to me."
"Well, I'll give it back to you after I finish eating."
There were not many popcorns from half a pound of rice, only filling half of the schoolbag, which was slightly bulging.
Nan Yi tied a knot on the bag's string and shortened the strap. Then he hung the bag around Nan Ruoyin's neck, picked her up again, and continued walking forward.
Along the way, I saw people playing with spinning tops, kicking shuttlecocks, throwing cigarette butts, jumping rubber ropes, rolling iron rings, playing wrestling, playing with match guns, playing cat's tuck, reading picture books, and putting up big-character posters.
Um?
Nan Yi stepped back and saw what was written on the big-character poster.
"Pan Saiqin, you are shameless and a vixen. You cheated on my husband once in the factory office, once by the sea, and once at... Dad, what does cheating mean?"
"I'm sorry, I can't answer this question for now. You've touched upon a part of my knowledge that I don't have. I'll answer you after I check the information in the library."
"OK."
They continued walking and when they reached the road, Nan Yi felt like smoking a cigarette, so he put Nan Ruoyin in the upwind position and lit up his cigarette in the downwind position.
Nan Ruoyin was eating popcorn while looking at the cars passing by on the road. "Dad, what kind of car is this?"
"The SH760 produced by the Shanghai Automobile Factory began mass production in 1965."
"What about the one behind it?"
"No, it's the SH760A, an improved version of the SH760. It was only introduced two years ago."
“This one is square.”
"BJ212 Jeep."
“…”
"The Su Xiu's Lada, the one at the back is a sidecar, also called a three-wheeler, it should be... Damn, it's actually a BMW."
Nan Yi couldn't believe his eyes. The three-wheeled vehicle in front of him turned out to be a BMW R75.
Is this thing available in China?
After thinking for a while, Nan Yi guessed that it might have been passed down from the Soviet revisionists, or it might have been one of the war compensation materials received by the Japanese.
