~7 min read 1,322 words

May 14, 1993, the 23rd day of the third intercalary month of the lunar calendar, Friday!

Originally, Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu should have left today, but Ye Jun and Tong Huaizhi, these two mad dogs, suddenly ran out, so they had to delay their itinerary; anyway, they weren't in a hurry.

The two had just arrived at the hospital when they received a call from Gao Zhen, saying that the new type of radiator had been successfully developed and asking him to come over.

After finishing breakfast, Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu came to the radiator factory.

Peng Lin (a college student dug from BAIC), the vice factory director in charge of technology, took Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu to turn around each workshop, and finally came to the spray painting workshop and the baking paint workshop.

"Chairman, this is our finished product, there are three colors in total: white, red, and blue."

Seeing Jian Qiu looked at the radiator, her eyes full of amazement: "Beautiful!"

Saying this, she walked over, touched it with her hand, the paint surface was smooth, and the feel was very good.

"I just don't know if the temperature is too high, and if it will explode the paint after a long time."

"No!" Peng Lin said very definitely: "This is baking paint technology, and it's imported paint, not afraid of high temperatures."

Gao Zhen, who was standing to the side, said: "We have experiments, it's already been a week."

"Go!" Zhou Andong said: "Let's go take a look!"

"It's over here!" Gao Zhen led the way in front, left the workshop, turned right, and there was a row of bungalows.

Zhou Wang took out the key, opened the door, and as soon as Zhou Andong entered, a wave of heat rushed toward his face.

On the east, west, and north walls, each wall hung a set of radiators of different colors.

Zhou Andong touched it with his hand, it was very hot, a bit scalding.

"A week?"

"Yes!" Zhou Wang said excitedly: "Cast iron radiators are not that beautiful, and many families have to build wall enclosures or cabinets to cover them, which has a great impact on heat dissipation.

But this kind of new radiator is very beautiful, no matter where it is placed, it can be completely used as a decoration. Therefore, the heat dissipation effect is much higher than cast iron."

Zhou Andong was very satisfied and said to Gao Zhen: "You've been to the 365 furniture store, right?"

Gao Zhen nodded: "Been there!"

Zhou Andong said: "You can cooperate with the 365 furniture store and put your radiators in their stores for display."

Gao Zhen's eyes lit up: "This is good!"

Zhou Wang knew about 365 furniture; it was incredibly popular now, with several branches in Beijing. Can they cooperate with them?

"Chairman, can they cooperate with us?"

Gao Zhen laughed out loud and patted Zhou Wang on the shoulder: "You don't know, the boss of 365 furniture is the Chairman's younger brother."

Zhou Wang was stunned, then excited to the point of almost jumping up. Cooperating with the furniture factory—isn't it exactly complementary?

Zhou Andong pondered for a moment: "You should recruit a batch of designers as soon as possible, specifically to design the styles and types of radiators, and the colors should be as rich as possible.

Also, since you are cooperating with 365 furniture, you can also engage in customized services to match the interior decoration style. What kind of angular, circular arc, bench shape, and bathroom-specific shapes, and many other special-shaped products.

You can also develop many additional functions, such as using special-shaped radiators as screens, guardrails, seats, and stair railings in houses. If matched with various accessories, they can also be used as towel racks and clothing hooks in bathrooms, which is not only convenient but also beautiful."

Whether it was Gao Zhen, Zhou Wang, or Peng Lin, their faces were flushed with excitement.

Listening to Zhou Andong's description, what they were making was not a radiator, but a work of art.

"Our radiators must build our own brand, and cannot use the previous name."

Zhou Wang said: "Chairman, you give it a name."

Zhou Andong said without thinking: "Sun rising in the east, harvest in China, let's call it Rifeng, register it tomorrow. Business scope: hardware plumbing, daily ceramic products, sanitary ceramic products, shower rooms, bathroom cabinets..."

Everything Zhou Andong could think of, he said; what he couldn't think of, he would talk about later.

Zhou Wang quickly recorded it in his small notebook: "I'll go register it tomorrow."

Gao Zhen said: "I'll call Xiaobei in a while to talk about the cooperation."

Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu ate lunch at the radiator factory. When they came out, Zhou Andong suddenly thought of Sun Fuyuan.

"How is our Factory Director Sun? Did he pay us the money?"

"When we showed him the account book, he was scared silly. Gradually, over half a month, Sun Fuyuan and Zhong Caishun brought over 1.3 million. I estimate they spat it all out."

Zhou Wang's smile was very bright. The radiator factory had been riddled with holes by Sun Fuyuan and Zhong Caishun, and now that the old bastard had such an end, not just him, all the staff were clapping and cheering.

"His wife is arguing for a divorce with him, and his daughter and son also want to break away from him."

"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly separately." Gao Zhen sighed.

Zhou Wang shook his head slightly: "As far as I know, when he was young, Sun Fuyuan beat his wife, so his daughter and son were dissatisfied with him. This incident can be considered a fuse, suddenly exploding the resentment that had been suppressed before."

Zhou Andong didn't say anything; this matter was very normal, he had seen too much of it.

"What about the bank? Did you sue?"

"Sued!" Zhou Wang said: "The court mediated twice, and the bank demanded that all debts be borne by our factory. Manager Liu said that not a single cent would be borne, so we are waiting for the court hearing."

At this time, Wu Chao drove the car over and stopped beside Zhou Andong.

"Alright, you guys go back." Zhou Andong opened the car door and got in with Seeing Jian Qiu. "Go to Dicos!"

Seeing Jian Qiu leaned her head on Zhou Andong's shoulder: "This New Year, when I send gifts to the old man, I'll send radiators."

Zhou Andong asked: "During the New Year, I don't know if Jian Minglang will come back."

Seeing Jian Qiu said coldly: "Regardless of whether he comes back or not, we won, so he must fulfill his promise."

For Jian Minglang, Zhou Andong really didn't have a good impression. Having only contacted him twice, he could see that the guy was narrow-minded and had average ability; compared to Qin Changzhi, there was a big gap.

"What if he doesn't fulfill it?"

"He dares!" Seeing Jian Qiu narrowed her eyes, looking very dangerous. "Then he will be my second sister in the future."

"Ha!" Zhou Andong laughed. "What kind of saying is that?"

Seeing Jian Qiu also laughed, telling the process of the bet that day: "Regardless of how he belittles you or looks down on you, but I bet with him to let you take over the radiator factory; actually, he is guilty."

Zhou Andong said: "So you mean, he was willing to bet, but was actually framed by you and had to agree."

"Yes!" Seeing Jian Qiu laughed very happily. "If he didn't bet, I would call him second sister for the rest of my life."

Zhou Andong pondered: "If he comes back during the New Year, I'll go home with you."

Seeing Jian Qiu opened her eyes wide and sat up straight: "Are you serious?"
