Rebirth 83: Hundreds of billions of net worth, starting from setting up a stall

"Oh."

Li Cunxi nodded. In fact, he could guess a thing or two even without the other party telling him.

"Then what exactly do you want to do?"

"Although the air-conditioning compressor we developed is not as technologically advanced as foreign products, there is no problem with its commercial use. However, I recommended it to some manufacturers, but they were not interested, so I plan to produce it myself and sell it myself."

Professor Kong's face was filled with resentment.

"Air conditioning compressor?"

Li Cunxi narrowed his eyes.

The compressor can be said to be the heart of the air conditioner. The quality of the compressor is related to the cooling and heating effect and service life.

As of 2022, Longguo's three brands with the largest domestic market share are Meizhi, Highly, and Lingda. Meizhi technology comes from Toshiba, Highly technology comes from Hitachi, and Lingda is also based on Hitachi technology iterations. And there are corresponding companies taking shares.

However, most of these three compressors are used in air conditioners with less than 3 horsepower. Even with more than 3 horsepower, Japanese compressors will still dominate in 2022. Long Guosui will not be stuck, but in terms of quality and performance, they are still that Chaser.

Why does this happen?

In fact, it still started late. Little Japan likes to eat alone. Various patents block the road and increase the cost of research and development. Even if it is developed, the reputation of Japanese brands will be there. The high-end market is not as broad as the mid-to-low-end. As long as the Japanese brand If you start a price war, you will definitely lose.

For example, some of the turbine compressors used in central air conditioners were invested in more than one billion by a leading domestic manufacturer for research and development, and were finally produced. The cost was ridiculously high, with a loss of [-] yuan per unit, not including R&D and products. Promotion and other expenses, even if this factory is a domestic leader, cannot withstand such torment. In the end, it invested more than one billion in equipment, sold it at a discount, and all the R&D personnel were disbanded, ending in an extremely miserable ending.

"Professor Kong, what exactly do you want me to do for you?"

Li Cunxi asked.

He actually supports the old professor in independent research and development of compressors.

But it can only be supported by actions.

Longguo is now very poor. If it wants to produce on a large scale, it will have to import a complete set of equipment from abroad, which is estimated to cost several million U.S. dollars. In addition to the cost of starting production, tens of millions of yuan will be unaffordable.

He doesn't have that much money.

"I don't know what to do. Why don't you help me plan from a businessman's perspective on how to open the factory."

Professor Kong asked for advice very seriously.

Li Cunxi was stunned by the question, and suddenly remembered a wise saying.

A scholar who rebelled would fail in ten years.

However, Professor Kong is relatively better. At least he will not talk about it on paper. Instead, he will find professional people to do professional things. And with the luck of almost winning the lottery, he found him, a reborn person with rich entrepreneurial experience.

The students on the side couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Looking at Mr. Li's appearance, he probably doesn't know what to do. Professor, please don't embarrass me."

"Hey, it's true that I was abrupt."

Professor Kong smiled bitterly.

As the so-called interlacing is like a mountain.

Li Cunxi's success in the clothing business does not mean that he understands the ecology of the refrigeration industry. He turned to Li Cunxi for help because he was in urgent need of medical attention.

Li Cunxi glanced at the student just now.

Although he is a student, he looks almost thirty years old.

The other party also looked at him, showing a harmless smile.

Li Cunxi smiled and said: "Professor Kong, almost no one in Long Kingdom can help you with your matter."

Under the national system, talents like Professor Kong can only be used as screws in a certain link. It will take at least another ten years to start a business, but by that time, this old professor may have already lost his spirit. Son.

"understand."

Professor Kong picked up the cup and took a sip of wine.

The student just now sneered, as if to say, just as I expected.

Li Cunxi changed the topic: "But I am the exception. If there is anyone who can help you open this factory, I am afraid it must be me."

Of course.

If the Professor Kong in front of me is not a professor at the highest university in the Dragon Kingdom.

He would never dare to brag about this awesomeness.

Professor Kong said excitedly: "That's great. Please tell Mr. Li what I want to do."

"First of all, we have to temporarily give up making air conditioners. Fans are not popular among the three major products in Longguo, and the market for air conditioners is even smaller. At least several factories in Longguo have been working on industrial refrigeration compressors for more than ten years. It’s too late for you to enter now.”

Li Cunxi suggested softly.

Professor Kong's expression froze.

The two students sneered.

Bai Xiaoyan also secretly tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes to signal him not to go too far.

"Then you want me to give up?"

Professor Kong's face didn't look good.

Li Cunxi shook his head and explained: "It's not about giving up, it's about temporarily compromising and focusing on more practical refrigerators. After all, the refrigeration principles of air conditioners and refrigerators are essentially the same. They both use compressors, condensers, and evaporators to allow the refrigerant to be in the gaseous state. It changes into liquid state, releases heat, and achieves refrigeration effect."

Professor Kong looked at Li Cunxi in surprise and said with sincere admiration: "Mr. Li is really knowledgeable, he even knows this."

Although what the other party said was superficial, in his eyes, 90.00% of the people in Jiulong Country did not understand this professional knowledge, including those workers who made refrigerators.

"I read it in my wife's book. I'm just learning it now and selling it now."

Li Cunxi said modestly.

Professor Kong's student questioned: "As far as I know, the refrigerator market is not big. The price is also unaffordable for ordinary people, and the competition is more fierce. Let's just say that there is Wanbao, the largest refrigerator manufacturer in Longguo, in Yangcheng."

"Right now, refrigerators are also a niche product, but as the market opens up and people's skills improve, the market size of refrigerators is larger than that of air conditioners. Moreover, refrigerators are irreplaceable in summer, but air conditioners can be replaced by fans."

“Because there are many refrigerator manufacturers, the industrial chain is relatively complete, and the cost of building a factory is also lower. As for air conditioners, it’s not that we don’t do it. It’s that when your factory is operating healthily and has a certain market share, you can launch your own air conditioner, which will save you money. A lot of unnecessary trouble.”

Li Cunxi explained in detail.

"Let me think about it."

Professor Kong smiled.

"Okay, let's eat the food and don't just chat."

Li Cunxi began to change the topic.

He was just helping out on a voluntary basis, without any interest in it.

If Professor Kong doesn't agree, he won't force it. After all, he still has a lot of things to be busy with.
