Chapter 11

In the factory building, at an operation table, Li Dongling was busy at the operation table, and Zhang Xiaocheng stood behind Li Dongling staring dead at him, not daring to blink his eyes. Compared to Li Dongling, he was even more nervous.

Zhou Wenyang, the employees still guarding the component factory, and Zhang Ao, who didn't know how he heard the news, all ran over to join the fun.

Li Dongling's operation speed wasn't fast, and he occasionally took testing instruments for testing. Zhang Ao was bored and yawned. Just as he took out a cigarette and prepared to light it, he looked up and saw Zhang Xiaocheng's eyes that could swallow him alive, which scared him into hurriedly putting the cigarette away.

This took Li Dongling nearly two hours, and he even scrapped quite a few materials. Mainly because the parts at this time were still different from the equipment Li Dongling was familiar with. Li Dongling spent quite a bit of time testing their performance and stability.

"Done!"

"Can test it!"

After testing it one last time, a simple receiver, that is, a set-top box, appeared on the operation table, but it didn't have a shell. It looked very simple and exposed quite a few lines.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaocheng, who had stood from beginning to end, seemed to hear the sound of nature. He didn't wait for others to move, and directly moved the TV, which weighed dozens of pounds, from his factory manager's office.

Zhang Xiaocheng, Zhou Wenyang, Zhang Ao, and others all widened their eyes and watched Li Dongling operate.

Connecting all the lines, Li Dongling started to debug the position of the satellite dish. This took another half an hour. Zhang Xiaocheng was even more nervous than Li Dongling, clenching his fists, and sweat appeared on his face.

"Got it!"

Zhang Ao shouted first, attracting everyone's attention. Looking at the picture that really appeared on the TV, everyone felt excited.

"It's Dianqian Satellite TV. It's playing 'Haima Dance Hall'. I watched it at home yesterday. This station has already played to the 25th episode, and the city station has only played to the 10th episode!"

Zhang Ao looked at the TV station that appeared on the TV and couldn't help but say. Zhou Wenyang and others also looked at the TV.

The TV picture released by the satellite dish was quite stable, without the kind of snow that would suddenly cut off the signal, and the picture quality was also quite clear.

Seeing that this satellite dish could really release TV, Zhang Ao, Zhou Wenyang, and the employees of the component factory all felt surprised. Just this one dish could actually receive satellite TV!

Zhang Xiaocheng let out a long sigh and hurriedly asked Li Dongling, "How many stations can it search?"

Li Dongling started to change stations with the remote control of the receiver. CCTV-4, Western Region Station, Bashu Station, Hong Kong Phoenix Station, etc., all appeared on the TV.

Until it turned to the 16th channel, the TV became no signal. But even so, it still opened the eyes of Zhang Ao, Zhou Wenyang, and others. Zhang Xiaocheng even waved his fist fiercely.

"The channels are not fixed now. The satellite channels that can be searched at present are just these for the time being. However, I heard that next year, Qilu Station, Qiantang Station, etc., will be on satellite one after another. By then, the satellite TV channels that can be watched are expected to be around 22!" Li Dongling said.

"Enough!"

"Enough!"

Zhang Xiaocheng rubbed his big hands, his face unable to hide his joy. The function of this satellite dish had already exceeded his expectations.

"What should this satellite dish be called in the future?" Zhang Xiaocheng asked Li Dongling.

Before, he and Li Dongling had discussed that the technology and brand of the satellite dish belonged to Li Dongling. He didn't care about these. Not only him, but now domestic state-owned or private companies didn't care about patents, technology, brands, etc., because there were too many counterfeits, and they copied each other. Which product was popular, and it wouldn't be long before a pile of followers and counterfeits appeared. The big brother didn't laugh at the second brother, everyone was the same.

"Just call it... Guanxing!"

Li Dongling looked at this satellite dish he had hand-assembled and said. Regardless of whether there were counterfeits and followers, Li Dongling definitely had to register the brand "Guanxing."

Zhang Xiaocheng pulled Li Dongling to his office. Now his attitude toward Li Dongling had completely changed.

"Sure enough, it's a university student. Otherwise, it's still reading. I asked quite a few people before, but none of them thought of a way to save the factory, and I tried to launch other products, but they couldn't be sold, and the factory owed more and more!"

Zhang Xiaocheng made a cup of tea for Li Dongling with the tea leaves that his old comrade-in-arms brought when he visited him, which he usually didn't want to drink.

"How much is the cost to produce such a satellite dish, and when can production start?!" Zhang Xiaocheng asked Li Dongling a pile of questions, which showed how anxious he was now.

"Mainly the motherboard, chips, and storage are expensive, accounting for more than half of the cost. Now the cost of producing one unit is over 150 yuan. If it can be mass-produced, the cost can be reduced to 100 yuan or even lower in the future!"

"Now, as long as the shell is designed, packaging is done, and production and sales personnel are trained, production can start!"

Li Dongling said. Producing satellite dishes is basically buying parts and then assembling them. The difficulty is not great. It can be learned in a few days. To sell satellite dishes, there must be sales personnel, and they must also be able to debug satellite dishes.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaocheng couldn't sit still, "I'll find people in the factory to resume production now!"

Li Dongling stopped Zhang Xiaocheng, who was excited, "Are you just going to produce it like this, and then sell the satellite dish?!"

"Otherwise?!" Zhang Xiaocheng looked at Li Dongling strangely, not knowing what he meant.

"If the Pingyang TV station, or the Hanxi Provincial TV station, or even the Yanjing Radio and Television Bureau come down, and jointly investigate the satellite dish, what will you do?!"

"What can I do!"

Zhang Xiaocheng's stubbornness came up again, "I just have this life. At worst, they can take it away!"

Li Dongling had a headache. He asked this not only for Zhang Xiaocheng's consideration, but also for those users who bought Guanxing satellite dishes in the future.

Li Dongling wanted to earn his first pot of gold through the satellite dish, but he didn't hope that those users who bought the satellite dish would be unlucky. After using the satellite dish for not long, they would be investigated, the satellite dish would be confiscated, and they would be fined, etc. Li Dongling hoped they could use it with peace of mind, use it openly, instead of being afraid while watching TV!

"Factory Manager Zhang..."

"Don't be so polite, just call me Old Zhang!" Zhang Xiaocheng said to Li Dongling. Although he was a rough guy, he also knew that for people with real ability, he must make friends.

"Brother Zhang, the Guanxing satellite receiver is a serious project, not a shameful project. As long as there is no law defining the satellite dish as an illegal project, we must do it according to the normal process, and we can even advertise and promote it!"

Zhang Xiaocheng heard this and really wanted to go up and touch Li Dongling's forehead to see if he had been too busy these days and his brain was burnt.

Zhang Xiaocheng heard this and only felt that Li Dongling was joking, and couldn't help but say, "If it's really like this, you might as well say, let us cooperate with Pingyang TV station..."

"Why not?"

Li Dongling's gaze burned toward Zhang Xiaocheng, and the smile on the latter's face completely froze.

"Do you know what you are saying? Pingyang TV station, how could they cooperate with us on the satellite dish project? Unless they are crazy!"

"What if?"

"Without meeting Pingyang TV station, Brother Zhang, how can you be sure that you can't cooperate with them on this project!"

Zhang Xiaocheng felt that his brain wasn't enough. Applying a sentence to the feeling of hearing this, it was like a weasel and a chicken becoming cousins, and a cat and a mouse getting married.

"Are we really going to cooperate with Pingyang TV station?" Zhang Xiaocheng looked at Li Dongling seriously.

Li Dongling nodded, "It may be necessary to give up a portion of the satellite dish's revenue to Pingyang TV station, but if the cooperation is successful, it will definitely be beneficial for the satellite dish project, and in the future, we can also sell the satellite dish to more places, and even out of the province, according to this cooperation method!"
