Although Zhang Yanping looked very excited, Chen Yuan still dealt with it calmly and said seriously:
"Officer Zhang, if you have anything to say, please speak slowly, don't worry."
Zhang Yan calmed down, and said his reason for coming: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you launched a composite lock in your restaurant. This is an induction lock. Is it possible to use it on other things?"
Chen Yuan knew what Zhang Yanping meant and what he wanted to use as soon as she guessed it. After all, his career determined that this would not be a small problem. After thinking about it, she nodded and replied: "Of course, are you interested in this patent?" ?”
Zhang Yanping sighed deeply, and said with some worry: "Mr. Chen, the theft cases are rampant at the end of the year, and our Ministry of Public Security is under a lot of pressure. These days, we work overtime every day to deal with cases, and the theft and other cases It is very different, once there is a loss of property, it is difficult to recover, so we can think of a way to promote an anti-theft method, 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, the effect may not be obvious. After all, Wucheng is a big city with several million people. If there is a way, they may not trust it, and the difficulty is very high.”
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, which 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. To promote anti-theft for this part of the people, it’s hard to get to the bottom of the sky. Maybe they think that the anti-theft function is a tasteless thing, and they won’t Pay to install.
Although Zhang Yanping's promotion of anti-theft is a good intention, but no one believes him, and his efforts are in vain.
Zhang Yanping also calmed down at this time and started to think about this issue. Even if Mr. Chen has anti-theft technology, it is not so easy to promote it, and he still has to face very real problems.
"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 prevent theft in the residential house, you must install anti-theft doors and anti-theft windows. After this is installed, you don't have to worry about thieves breaking in. And there is a strange sound, and there is a high probability of catching the thief."
The price of making anti-theft doors and windows is relatively expensive. An anti-theft window is to install a steel window inside the original window or gate, which has many fewer shortcomings than the original door, increases safety, and will not be easily pried open. Alarm device, naturally can play very good effect.
After Zhang Yanping heard what Chen Yuan said, he began to worry again, because anti-theft doors and windows sounded like a simple matter. If he wanted to do it well, he didn't know how much money he would need to invest. Even if he could apply for public funds to do this Things are not so easy.
It is really too difficult to implement the anti-theft function well without money. A poor word will dispel people's hope.
Zhang Yanping has never stopped sighing since entering the private room. Before coming here, he was full of confidence, but now he has no confidence. This time the matter is different from the last DNA test, because it will not cost much money to apply for it. There is no way to make it yet.
He scratched his head depressedly, and asked with some embarrassment: "Mr. Chen, I want to ask if there is a cheaper way. It is really too expensive and we cannot afford it. It really bothers you and troubles you. "
Chen Yuan nodded and said that it doesn't matter. There are low-cost methods. After all, with such a large population, it is unrealistic to promote anti-theft doors: "Yes, let's install infrared sensors. This can be done without installing doors or windows. It has anti-theft effect. Infrared rays 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.”
Hearing this unfamiliar yet familiar word, Zhang Yanping felt hopeful, and nodded with bright eyes: "This sounds good."
I have heard of infrared rays 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 that of anti-theft doors and windows, and it is not 100%. It can prevent theft, with a probability of about 80%."
Chen Yuan thinks that thieves are also very smart. Later generations of thieves keep pace with the times. Infrared rays have long been deciphered. 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 everything is impossible to be perfect. This probability is much lower than the number of theft cases at the end of previous years. It is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite. If there is 80%, he will be satisfied.
If not, the 0% loss may be even more severe. Thieves, pickpockets and thieves are still rampant in Wucheng, and they will become more and more lawless towards the end of the year.
Chen Yuan also said: "I am willing to cooperate with the police on this infrared product. You will promote it, and I will find a third party to sell it, so that the outside world can trust our products. As for the final sales volume, it is still up to your police to tell the truth. If you can’t sell it, let the Ministry of Public Security buy the rest.”
Zhang Yanping estimated the price, and felt that they could afford it if there was a loss. Moreover, if the infrared anti-theft effect is good, there may not be any loss. In short, they can take a risk.
After thinking about it, he nodded and said: "Mr. Chen is right, you help us make anti-theft sensors, and you can't let you bear the loss."'
The two hit it off immediately, and discussed first, if they made any money, they would give it to Chen Yuan, at most a small part of the publicity cost to the Ministry of Public Security, and the rest of the money would go to Chen Yuan.
Originally, it was Chen Yuan's own technology and her own cost that could help the Ministry of Public Security solve such a big matter, so Zhang Yanping was already very content.
But if there is a loss, after all, the Ministry of Public Security first proposed it, and if it cannot be bought in the end, it is equivalent to the Ministry of Public Security buying these infrared alarms from Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan found a foundry to manufacture 500 sets of infrared alarms according to her own technology. Infrared light-sensitive alarms are also available now, but she has not heard that they can make alarms. This is also the first in the city. The owner of the foundry I was really curious. It was originally Chen Yuan who asked him questions, but later it turned out that he had questions to ask 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, but 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 volume is really good, there will be time to sell the patent again. By then, this thing will have a bargaining chip, and it may be easier to negotiate a good price, but if not If it sells well but doesn't adapt to the market, it's a pile of rubbish, and no one wants it for free.
Based on her understanding of the current people's consumption outlook, it was just two years after liberation, and it was the time when living standards gradually began to improve.
People are more willing to spend money on food, clothing and various living education subsidies. For alarms, they are lucky enough to tell them that they will not encounter theft, and they may not be able to use them if they buy them, which is also a waste of money.
What's more, people's education level has not been raised yet, and anti-theft device technology is not recognized.
Therefore, Chen Yuan is not sure whether there will be a market for this thing or not, it depends on how Zhang Yanping operates it. Inadequate publicity will also affect it.
Sometimes doing business is like opening a blind box, and you will never know what the result will be until the end.
After Zhang Yanping transported the 500 sets of infrared sensors away, he felt like he was carrying a heavy boulder on his back. What he was most afraid of was that the alarm would eat ashes in the warehouse, and eventually become scrap copper and rotten iron. should have value.
The function of each alarm here has been tested when it leaves the factory, and Chen Yuan has personally confirmed that there is no problem, so they are handed over to Zhang Yanping to take away.
In the next few days, the internal personnel of their unit searched for newspapers and station advertisements, and publicized the benefits of alarms everywhere.
And at the same time, they have to take care of their own work. The public security personnel 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 disturbance at all, 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 that, it still costs more than ten yuan to buy, which is really not a small sum for ordinary people.
Looking at the alarms piled up like a mountain, he couldn't buy a single one, Lao Gao's cheeks were swollen, and he was very angry.
Zhang Yanping panicked this time, is it possible that he is really going to hit his hand?
What I thought at the beginning was 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 a single one.
He actually doesn't know how to do business, and he doesn't know much about it. He has worked in public security all his life, and all he thinks about every day is arresting criminals and solving cases. Doing business is his blind spot, and he doesn't know how to do it.
In the future, whoever dares to belittle and say that doing business is easy, he will be the first to be unhappy.
Zhang Yanping's face was very gloomy every day, and the alarm became his heart disease later on.
After half a month, things ushered in a turning point.
The infrared alarm finally has its first real customer.
This customer is a relative of a colleague. His home was burglarized before, and he hates thieves and thieves the most. Naturally, he pays great attention to anti-theft. When he heard that his colleague promoted the anti-theft device, he was naturally very interested and proposed to buy it.
The customer's name is Li Jinyu, she is an older sister in her forties, her family is not in the urban area of Wucheng, and it is two hours away from Wucheng by car, and she travels all the way just to buy an alarm.
After I bought this infrared alarm back, people around me heard that she had bought a high-tech device, and they all said in a strange way, "Sister Li, you are too timid. Have you been afraid of being stolen before? Besides, what is your house worth?" Install this thing, don’t be self-defeating when the time comes, the thief hears about the alarm installed in your house, and thinks you are provoking him, and if he doesn’t go anywhere else, he will steal your house.”
