Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Rebuilding the electric furnace factory in the form of an affiliation is obviously beneficial to Xiangyang Town, and Xiangyang Town has no reason to refuse.

So two days later, Li Weidong and Tian Yuming finalized the affiliation details. In addition to the annual affiliation fee of 50,000 yuan, the electric furnace factory also needs to pay a rent of 1,000 yuan to Xiangyang Town every year for the use of land.

The land in the township was not valuable, and the rent of one thousand yuan a year for the land at the electric furnace factory was already quite a lot. Li Weidong directly signed a twenty-year land lease contract with Xiangyang Town.

The Electric Furnace Factory was affiliated to Xiangyang Town. It was nominally a collective enterprise of Xiangyang Town, and it also used the land of Xiangyang Town. The laws and regulations at that time were not perfect. There was too much ambiguity in land use under this business model.

space.

If the land use rights are not clear, Xiangyang Town can take the land back at any time if it does not want to be reasonable.

If this really happens, Li Weidong still can't explain it. After all, being affiliated with such a fake collective enterprise means that he lives in an ambiguous space of policies.

So Li Weidong simply spent some money and signed a lease contract, which can be regarded as setting up a firewall in advance. If Xiangyang Town wants to make a fuss about the land, this lease contract can at least serve as a basis for Li Weidong to reason.

The "Land Management Law" was only promulgated in 1998. Before that, leasing land by enterprises was a mess. Especially in the early to mid-1990s, in order to attract investment, various places leased collective land use rights for non-agricultural purposes.

The phenomenon of construction is not uncommon. As a result, various problems have been caused, and many people have been brought to court for this reason.

For example, it is very common for a village committee to rent land to a company. When the lease is half-way through, the village becomes rogue and wants to take the land back.

With a clear lease contract, the right to use the land can be clarified. If I spend real money to rent your land, it cannot be regarded as illegal occupation.

Even if something goes wrong in the future, when it comes to court proceedings, this lease contract will still be very useful for the lawyer to argue against.

Once the wrangling is involved, and the township wants to take the land away, it will have to wait for the legal channels to be completed. It is likely that the wrangling will continue until the township leaders have changed.

In this case, the land requisitioning party will consider the time cost. If the forced land resumption turns into a long-term wrangling, it will not be cost-effective for the land requisitioning party.

At the same time as signing the lease contract, Li Weidong also signed an affiliation contract with Xiangyang Town.

This affiliation contract is even less reliable than the land lease contract.

Because affiliated management is inherently a fuzzy space of policy, it is entirely up to the affiliated party to decide how to proceed.

Therefore, signing an affiliation contract only restricts the use of the enterprise and requires the enterprise to fulfill its obligations in the contract. For the affiliated party, the contract can be torn up at any time.

It's like playing a game. The party who is affiliated is the player, and the one who is affiliated is the GM. Although the rules of the game are there and the players abide by the rules of the game, when the GM wants to mess with you, he doesn't even need to find a reason and will directly ban your account!

In fact, this kind of affiliated collective enterprise itself was created due to special historical reasons and should not exist under a normal market economy system.

Fake collective enterprises are essentially private enterprises, but they are affiliated with the collective, so the nature of ownership and civil liability are unclear. These are contrary to the standards of modern enterprises. Once a dispute occurs, it will be a pot of Northeastern stew.

There are too many things that are unclear, and it is very difficult for the judicial authorities to deal with them.

Throughout the 1990s, there were countless disputes arising from fake collective enterprises, and many disputes were delayed for ten to twenty years without resolution.

However, under the circumstances at that time, policies still had many restrictions on private enterprises. If private enterprises wanted to survive, they had to use affiliation and bear the risks caused by affiliation.

…

At Shenfutun Chemical Plant, Li Weidong finally completed his new product.

"The appearance is still a bit ugly. Let's improve it later and try the effect first."

Li Weidong picked up a potato, cut it into small strips, poured oil on it, and put it into Li Weidong's new product.

After turning on the power and twisting the switch, a humming motor sound came from the new product. After a while, Li Weidong took out the potatoes.

The French fries that Li Weidong wanted did not appear, and the potato chips looked a little raw.

"We have to continue to improve!" Li Weidong sighed lightly.

At this moment, Shen Shengli walked in and immediately smelled the smell of oil and potatoes.

"Why does it smell like peanut oil? Wei Dong, what did you do?" Shen Shengli asked.

"I fried some potatoes, they seem not quite cooked yet." Li Weidong pointed to the potato strips in his hand, and then said, "Second brother, do you want to try them?"

Shen Shengli came over, picked up a potato strip, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it and said, "It's not quite cooked yet. I feel like the oil is not hot enough. I need to fry it for a while."

As Shen Shengli spoke, he looked around and saw only the bottle of peanut oil, but not the oil pan.

"Are you looking for a frying pan?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

Shen Shengli nodded: "Where's your oil pan? And where's the stove?"

"I didn't use a frying pan to fry it." Li Weidong patted the new product in front of him and continued, "I used this to fry it."

Shen Shengli looked at it and saw that it was basically a square box with something like a drawer on top.

Shen Shengli stretched his head and took a look, and found that there were only a few drops of oil in the drawer. It didn't look like a frying pan at all. He finally asked: "Weidong, what is this?"

"This thing is called an air fryer. If you use this, you can fry things without a lot of oil." Li Weidong replied.

The new product developed by Li Weidong is the air fryer.

Air fryers should be familiar to modern people, and many families are equipped with them. Most families only use the air fryer once or twice after buying it, and then never use it again, so there are also a lot of air fryers. Ranking list of impractical electrical appliances.

Chinese food is very particular about deep-frying. The deep-frying method alone can be divided into different methods such as clear frying, dry frying, soft frying, crispy frying, roll-up frying, topping frying and crispy frying. Each frying method It is necessary to control the oil temperature and heat. Different ingredients and different dishes will also require different frying methods.

Obviously, air fryers cannot do so many kinds of frying, so the taste of things fried in an air fryer will always make people feel a little weird, like crispy on the outside and tender on the inside when fried. Crispy inside and out, crispy fried skin and tender meat, etc. It is difficult to achieve this with an air fryer.

It is precisely because of these limitations of air fryers that domestic air fryers are regarded as impractical household appliances.

For Chinese people, the food fried in the air fryer is not delicious, so they might as well order takeout!

In European and American countries, air fryers are still widely used. After all, eating habits are different and cooking methods are also different.

The cooking techniques in European and American countries are not so particular, or in other words, their cooking techniques are very simple. Boiling, roasting, frying, and deep-frying in Western food are mainly used to cook the food, and seasoning is all based on dipping sauces.

No matter how crispy or tender the food fried in the air fryer is, as long as it is cooked, it will taste the same when dipped in sauce. Therefore, Western European and American countries are more accepting of air fryers.

The principle of the air fryer is actually very simple, just add a fan inside the oven.

The heating rod of the oven will heat the air, and the fan will blow the hot air onto the food. The hot air will continue to circulate, thereby "frying" the food. Therefore, the essence of the air fryer is not to fry, but to bake. This

It is also more in line with Western cooking methods.

In his previous life, Li Weidong partnered with others and engaged in the production of small home appliances. At that time, Li Weidong mainly produced some OEM small home appliances. The quality was not high and the prices were cheap. However, due to the fierce competition in this industry, he did not make any money.

How much.

Especially after some domestic small home appliance brands gradually emerged, and their product quality and after-sales channels were guaranteed, it became even more difficult for OEM small home appliances like Li Weidong to survive.

However, taking the opportunity to produce OEM small household appliances, Li Weidong learned a lot about the principles of various small household appliances, so he was able to design and manufacture an air fryer.

Air fryers were definitely not affordable for Chinese people in the 1980s, so air fryers had to be sold to foreigners at the Canton Fair.

The market for air fryers is much larger than car seat cushions.

The sales of car seat cushions are subject to temperature and regional limitations. For example, in hot Florida, wool car seat cushions cannot be sold; in cold Alaska, linen car seat cushions cannot be sold.

But air fryers are different. Whether you live in Florida or Alaska, you have to eat and cook!

As long as you need to cook, you are a potential customer of the air fryer.

And the eating habits of the entire Western world are similar. Americans eat fried chicken and French fries, and British people eat fish and French fries.

The English name of French fries is French fries, so of course the French also eat French fries. Belgium says that French fries were actually invented in Belgium, so Belgians must eat French fries every day.

If you want to fry French fries at home, do you need an air fryer?

In addition, Germans want to fry pork chops and Italians want to fry seafood. You can use an air fryer for these.

After all, food is the most important thing for people. For Europeans and Americans, I can stop driving, but I can't stop eating. I can burn my butt and freeze my spine while driving, but I must have French fries when I eat!

Li Weidong fell in love with the electric furnace factory in Xiangyang Town, with the purpose of large-scale production of air fryers.

The electric stoves produced by electric stove factories heat up quickly and use resistance heating, which is similar to an electric oven. The air fryer is an electric oven plus a fan.

Therefore, with the workers and technology of the electric furnace factory, it is easy to switch to air fryer production. After buying the entire electric furnace factory, Li Weidong only needs to make slight adjustments to directly produce air fryers.

If it were another manufacturer, the technology reserves and the training of workers would be a problem. Li Weidong would have to spend more time to produce the air fryer.

However, before mass-producing air fryers, Li Weidong had to do one thing first, which was to apply for a patent for the air fryer.

Historically, the air fryer was only patented in the 21st century. If Li Weidong applies for a patent now, he will definitely be able to get the patent for the air fryer.

Although there is a "Patent Law" in China, it was just a decoration in 1988. If no one abides by it, it is almost impossible to protect rights.

Moreover, air fryers are sold to foreigners. Li Weidong only needs to maintain overseas patent rights, and of course he has to apply for a patent overseas.

It was also in order to apply for a patent for the air fryer that Li Weidong went to Chen Jiade and asked for an invitation letter to facilitate him to go through the procedures for going to Hong Kong.
