Chapter 133: Gu, the Academic God, is Awesome!
Song Chu felt that Sheng Qingyang was also a relatively ambitious and capable person, so if they were going to do it, they might as well go big.
If electric bicycles could be produced, they could open an electric bicycle factory in the county. This could definitely be built into a star industry of the county. This kind of technology did not even exist abroad yet.
Gu Yue smiled wryly, “Are you so sure I can make it?”
Song Chu’s eyes were full of smiles, “I believe in your ability and efficiency, Gu, the Academic God.”
Then she winked at him, “Don’t think I don’t know that you’ve been reading books and materials about storage batteries and electric bicycles recently.”
“You have good eyesight,” Gu Yue said with a smile.
After the vacuum packaging compressor was designed, he had pretty much mastered the technology in this area, and he remembered what Song Chu had said before about him researching storage batteries to make electric bicycles.
So he started researching it, and now he had a lot of ideas.
“That’s why I don’t want to buy a bicycle anymore. I’ll wait for your electric bicycle.”
Song Chu smiled and continued, “When the time comes, let Vice-County Magistrate Sheng open an electric bicycle factory. I think it’s feasible.”
When Gu Yue heard her say this, a layer of smile also appeared in his eyes, “I think this is possible.”
Song Chu asked curiously, “How is your research going? Do you think electric bicycles can be made within this year?”
She really didn’t like riding a bicycle. It was really too far between the county town and the village, and a round trip took nearly four hours.
If it were replaced by an electric bicycle, it would be effortless and could shorten the time by half.
Of course, it would be even better if they could drive, but unfortunately, ordinary people couldn’t buy private cars in this era.
Gu Yue thought for a while and said, “I have almost finished researching the storage battery. I need to do some experiments to see. After it’s successful, I’ll let the battery factory try to process it.”
“But it’s indeed better to find Brother Sheng to cooperate on this matter. Otherwise, just convincing the battery factory to produce storage batteries would be a problem.”
“As for the electric bicycle you mentioned, we still need to contact the motorcycle factory in the provincial capital to help make it. If it’s successful, we’ll ask Brother Sheng to borrow a few technicians to come and guide the factory.” He already had a complete set of ideas.
There was no motorcycle factory in the county, and the machinery factory couldn’t make that thing at all.
Song Chu nodded and smiled, “That’s what I thought too. Gu, the Academic God, you are really talented. Not only can you provide technical support, but you can also think of other aspects comprehensively.”
Gu Yue smiled, “You call me Gu, the Academic God, so I have to live up to the title.”
Song Chu gave him a thumbs up, “Gu, the Academic God, is awesome!”
The group chatted while riding, and time passed relatively quickly.
When they arrived in the county town, Gu Yue first went to the Steel Factory. After checking the new material, he still had to go find his cousin. Huo Kai had called him to go over because something had come up.
Song Chu took the two to the clothing factory.
They had dealt with the clothing factory several times recently, but they had always looked for Director Li.
However, for the production of down jackets, looking for Director Li was useless, so Song Chu went to Guo Xia’s office first.
Guo Xia was stunned to see Song Chu coming, and she smiled and walked out, “Chu Chu, why are you here?”
There were other people in the office, so it was not a place to talk.
Song Chu pulled her to an empty corridor, “Sister Xia, I would like to ask you to help me introduce me to your factory director.”
Guo Xia was stunned again, “You want to find our factory director?”
Song Chu didn’t hide it, “I have developed a very warm kind of clothing, so I want to find your factory to cooperate in production. Only the factory director can make a decision on this matter.”
“What kind of warm clothing?” Guo Xia was very puzzled. Didn’t everyone wear thick cotton-padded coats in winter?
Song Chu took out the women’s down jacket from the bag, “This is a down jacket made of duck down. It’s much warmer than cotton-padded coats, and it’s also lighter and more comfortable to wear.”
The thick cotton-padded coats of this era were relatively heavy and not as light as the improved ones of later generations.
◈◈◈
Looking at the clothes Song Chu brought out, Guo Xia took them and looked at them. They were indeed very light.
And the style looked better than the winter cotton-padded coats. “Duck down can also be made into clothes? Can this be worn?”
“Yes, and it’s very warm. Do you want to try it?” Song Chu said.
Guo Xia was indeed a little curious, “Okay, then I’ll try it.”
Because it involved introducing the factory director, she had to confirm it herself before she could take Song Chu there.
She didn’t stand on ceremony and put the down jacket on.
Guo Xia was not as tall as Song Chu, but they were about the same in terms of weight, so apart from being a little long, it fit her relatively well.
The weather was already hot, and Guo Xia soon felt like she was going to suffocate after putting on the down jacket.
It was hot, so she couldn’t tell whether the down jacket was warmer than a cotton-padded coat, but she could deeply feel the lightness and comfort.
She had also heard that Song Chu had run the pig farm very well, and even the county leaders praised her and wanted to organize large-scale chicken farms to learn from her.
Now Song Chu was doing things quite reliably, and she was willing to trust her once.
“Alright, this clothing is indeed quite good, but I’m not sure if the factory director will agree to your cooperation,” she said.
Song Chu smiled, “It’s okay, as long as Sister Xia, you help introduce us, I’ll handle the rest of the communication.”
Guo Xia nodded, “Okay, you wait here for a while, I’ll go talk to him first.”
Without a heads-up, she couldn’t just take people directly to the factory director’s office.
Song Chu expressed understanding, “Okay, we’ll wait here. Thank you, Sister Xia.”
Guo Xia looked at Song Chu’s smiling face, which was as bright as the sun. She found that her sister-in-law’s little sister had really changed a lot. Not only was she more capable, but she also gave people a very good impression.
In the past two months, her family had also eaten a lot of vegetables, oil, meat, and tofu sent by Song Chu. She was a little embarrassed, and since she could help with something, she was happy to do it.
She nodded and quickly went upstairs to the factory director’s office.
And she was holding the down jacket that Song Chu had asked her to try.
About ten minutes later, Guo Xia came back with a smile and said, “The factory director agreed to see you. Come with me.”
She was an office cadre of the labor union, and her relationship with the factory director’s wife was relatively good. The two families were also close. In addition, this down jacket did have advantages, so the factory director agreed to meet them.
Song Chu also knew that if they came to find the factory director alone, he would definitely not see them, and it would definitely take a lot of effort.
She was still very grateful to her Third Older Brother’s wife’s sister, after all, she had troubled her several times.
Therefore, in the past two months, whenever she went to the city to give food to her Third Older Brother’s family, she would also give a share to the other members of the Guo family to maintain this relationship.
The group went upstairs and followed Guo Xia into the office.
Guo Xia introduced them, “Director Luo, this is Song Chu, the one I told you about. She is also the director of the pig farm.”
“Chu Chu, this is our factory’s Director Luo.”
Song Chu smiled and stepped forward first, “Hello, Director Luo.”
Director Luo looked about fifty years old, with a gentle smile on his face. He reached out and shook hands with Song Chu, “Hello, Director Song.”
