Chapter 75 - 075075
Although Zhang Yanping looked excited, Chen Yuan handled it calmly and said seriously:
“Officer Zhang, if there is anything you need to say slowly, don’t worry.”
Zhang Yan calmed down and said his intention: “Mr. Chen, I heard that you have launched a composite lock in your restaurant. This is a sensor lock. Is it possible to use it on other things?”
As soon as Chen Yuan guessed, she knew what Zhang Yanping meant and what purpose he was going to use. After all, his career decided that this would not be a small problem. After thinking about it, he nodded and replied, “Of course, are you interested in this patent? ?”
Zhang Yanping sighed deeply, and said with some worry: “Mr. Chen, theft cases are rampant at the end of the year recently, and our Ministry of Public Security is under great pressure. These days, we work overtime every day to deal with cases, and theft cases and other cases. It is very different, once there is property loss, it will be difficult to recover, so we need to find a way to promote a method of anti-theft, so as to reduce the occurrence of theft.”
Chen Yuan frowned and pondered: “There is a way to do it, but the cost is relatively high and it takes a lot of time. Even if it is done, it may not have obvious effect. After all, Wucheng is a big city with a population of several million. They won’t necessarily trust it, but it’s very difficult anyway.”
Anti-theft is no different than other things. First of all, it is impossible to do anti-theft for residents for free without spending a penny. It involves spending money, and spending money is more complicated.
Some people have never been stolen before, and they don’t think it’s a big deal. For these people, the promotion of anti-theft is difficult. Maybe they think this anti-theft function is useless. Pay for the installation.
Although Zhang Yanping’s promotion of anti-theft is a good intention, but no one believes him, it is also a waste of effort.
Zhang Yanping also calmed down and began to think about this issue. Even if Mr. Chen has anti-theft technology, it is not easy to promote it, and he has to face very real problems. It took a long while before he nodded.
“Mr. Chen, I still want to try. If I don’t do anything, I’m still not reconciled.”
Chen Yuan thought for a while and said, “Yes, let me think about it, if you want to be burglar-proof in the residential house, you should install security doors and security windows, so that after they are all installed, you don’t have to worry about thieves breaking in. And there are abnormal noises, and there is a high chance of catching the thief.”
The price of making anti-theft doors and windows is relatively expensive. The anti-theft window is to install a steel window in the original window or door, which has many fewer shortcomings than the original door, increases security, and will not be easily pried open. The alarm device, naturally, can play a very good effect.
After Zhang Yanping heard what Chen Yuan said, he began to worry again, because the anti-theft doors and windows didn’t sound like a simple thing. If you want to do it well, you don’t know how much money you need to invest, even if you can apply for public funds to do it. Things are not that easy.
It’s really hard to run the anti-theft function without money, and a poor word will dispel people’s hopes.
Zhang Yanping has not stopped sighing since he entered the private room. Before he came, he was full of confidence, but now he has no confidence. This time, the matter is different from the last DNA test, because there will be no money to apply for it. There is no way to do it yet.
He scratched his head depressedly, and asked a little embarrassedly: “Mr. Chen, I want to ask if there is a cheaper way, it’s too expensive, we can’t afford it, it’s really bothering you and causing trouble. “
Chen Yuan nodded, saying that it doesn’t matter, there are also low-cost methods. After all, with such a large population, it is unrealistic to promote anti-theft doors: “Yes, then install an infrared sensor. You don’t need to install doors or windows. It has an anti-theft effect. Infrared is used to sense temperature changes. If this is installed at home, if a thief enters the door at night, the alarm through the detector can also have a good effect.”
When Zhang Yanping heard this unfamiliar and familiar word, he felt a little hopeful, and nodded with bright eyes: “This sounds pretty good.”
I have heard of infrared before, but I have never seen related products, so I am quite unfamiliar with this.
“The cost of infrared rays is relatively low, but its effect is not as good as the effect of anti-theft doors and windows, nor is it 100%, it can prevent theft, about 80% probability.”
Chen Yuan felt that thieves were also very smart. The thief industry in later generations kept pace with the times. Infrared has long been cracked. This thing can be used now, but it may be eliminated in a few years.
“80% is already very good. Please help us guide this infrared technology.”
Zhang Yanping knows that nothing can be perfect. This probability will definitely be much less than the number of thefts at the end of previous years. It is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite, and 80% will be satisfied.
If not, it may be that the 0% loss is even more severe, and the thieves, pickpockets and thieves are still rampant in Wucheng, and it will become more and more lawless towards the end of the year.
Chen Yuan added: “I am willing to cooperate with the police for this infrared ray, you can promote it, and I will find a third party to sell it, so that the outside world can still trust our products. As for the final sales volume, it is up to your police to find out. If you can’t sell it, let the Ministry of Public Security buy the rest.”
Zhang Yanping estimated the price, and felt that if it was lost, they could afford it, and if the infrared anti-theft effect was good, there would not necessarily be a loss. In short, they could take a risk.
After thinking about it, he nodded happily and said, “Mr. Chen, this is what it should be. You help us make an anti-theft sensor. You can’t bear this loss.””
The two hit it off and discussed it first. If they made money, they would give it to Chen Yuan. At most, they would give a small part of the publicity cost to the Ministry of Public Security, and the rest would go to Chen Yuan.
Originally, it was Chen Yuan’s own technology and his own cost, and Zhang Yanping was already very satisfied that he could help the Ministry of Public Security solve such a big problem.
But if there is a loss, after all, the Ministry of Public Security proposed it first, and it could not be bought in the end. It would be equivalent to the Ministry of Public Security having bought these infrared alarms from Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan found a foundry to make 500 infrared alarms according to her own technology. Infrared light sensors are also available now, but I have not heard that they can be used as alarms. She is also the first in the city. The owner of the foundry I’m really curious. Originally, Chen Yuan asked him about the question, but later it turned into that he had a question and asked Chen Yuan.
If it weren’t for the signing of the order agreement, the boss would have wanted to buy the infrared alarm sensor. He thought it had potential. Unfortunately, the bid was not high and was rejected by Chen Yuan.
Now that Chen Yuan has cooperated with Zhang Yanping, she will definitely not be able to sell it again. If the sales are really good, it will be time to sell the patent. By then, this thing will not have a bargaining chip, it may be easier to negotiate a good price, but if not It’s easy to sell, but it doesn’t fit the market. It’s just a pile of rubbish, and no one asks for free money.
Based on her understanding of the current people’s consumption concept, it was just two years after liberation, when the living standard gradually began to improve.
People are more willing to spend money on food and clothing and various living and education subsidies. As for the alarm, they are lucky to tell them that they will not be stolen. If they buy it, they may not be able to use it, which is also a waste of money.
What is more is that the education level of the people has not been raised, and the anti-theft device technology is not recognized.
Therefore, Chen Yuan is not sure whether this thing can have a market or not. It depends on how Zhang Yanping handles it. If the publicity is not in place, it will also have an impact.
Sometimes doing business is like opening a blind box, and you will never know what the outcome will be until the end.
After Zhang Yanping transported the 500 infrared sensors away, he seemed to be carrying a heavy rock on his back. What he was most afraid of was that the alarm would eat ashes in the library, and finally turned into scrap copper and rotten iron, which was not used to its full potential. should have value.
The functions of each alarm here have been tested before leaving the factory, and Chen Yuan has personally confirmed that there is no problem, so she gave it to Zhang Yanping to take away.
In the next few days, the internal staff of their unit will look for newspapers and station advertisements to promote the benefits of alarms everywhere.
And at the same time, they have to take care of their own work. The public security officers are tired and busy, but no matter how busy they are with publicity, five or six days have passed in a blink of an eye.
There was no turbulence at all, and there was no movement at all.
Only a small number of citizens asked, but no one was willing to pay for it.
After all, although the cost of this alarm is much lower than it is, it costs more than ten yuan to buy it, which is really not a small sum for ordinary people.
Looking at the mountains of alarms, he couldn’t buy one, and his cheeks were swollen, and he was very angry.
Zhang Yanping panicked this time, is it really going to smash his hands? ?
At the beginning, I thought that it might not sell well, or it might not sell well, but I never thought that there would be such a bleak result, and I couldn’t buy one.
In fact, he doesn’t know how to do business, and he doesn’t understand the knowledge here. He has worked in public security all his life, and every day he thinks about catching criminals and solving cases, doing business is his blind spot, and he doesn’t know how.
In the future, who dares to underestimate the simplicity of doing business, he is the first to be unhappy.
Zhang Yanping’s face was very bleak every day, and the alarm became his heart disease later.
After a month and a half, things took a turn for the better.
The infrared alarm finally has its first real customer.
This customer is a relative of a colleague’s house. His home has been stolen before. He hates thieves and thieves the most.
The customer’s name is Li Jinyu, a eldest sister in her 40s. Her home is not in the urban area of Wucheng, and it is still two hours away by car from Wucheng, so she went all the way to buy an alarm.
After the infrared alarm was bought back, the people around her heard that she had bought a high-tech device, and they all said yin and yang strangely, “Sister Li, you are too timid, were you afraid of being stolen before? Besides, what is the value of your home? This thing, install this thing, don’t be self-defeating when the time comes, the thief heard that your house has installed an alarm and thought you were provoking him, and if you don’t go anywhere else, they will steal your home.”
