Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Essential Skills

He planned to wait until the weather warmed up a bit, then take the two kids for swimming lessons.

"Swimming?"

"I want to learn." Da Bao wanted to learn, and in their brigade, many older kids went to shallow waters to swim and catch fish.

Rural kids climbing trees and going down to the river were essential skills.

"Alright, when it gets warmer, I’ll take you to the swimming center to learn how to swim."

They would sign up for classes then.

She hadn’t planned to stop Elder Wu’s calligraphy lessons either.

The two young ones going for swimming lessons?

He might not be able to get away, once busy, he’d have to attend to his studies and the electric fan business.

"Go to sleep."

Da Bao and Xiao Bao immediately closed their eyes to sleep.

When their dad had something to say to mom, he would let them sleep, shut up.

They were used to it.

They quickly fell into dreamland.

"You mentioned before that the fan blades could be made of plastic, the casing as well, and even the base. I’ve been searching for such materials, but the results haven’t been very good."

"Take it slow, no rush, and once it gets made, the price of the fan could be lowered, entering millions of households."

Fans were essential.

And buying one, they would be used for many years.

This summer, who wouldn’t want a fan.

"If we have the money, we could buy a small home appliance factory and expand it step by step."

Fans had a promising future.

And many home appliances were promising.

"Collaborating with others is not ultimately a solution, some things could get leaked."

That wasn’t an exaggeration.

"I’ll consult Master Gu, he knows more than I do."

"That’s fine."

Now it was just the end of the first lunar month, there was no hurry.

The garment factory was on the right track, and Zhao Tianlei had assigned Fang Chaoyang the task of finding a small home appliance factory and collecting information about it.

Whenever he was free, he would consult with Master Gu about this matter.

Because of his relationship with Er Dan, he had become much closer to Master Gu, who had once been an engineer at an appliance factory.

"Changing the blades to plastic is a great idea, but what kind of plastic can make the blades — in principle, as long as there is a motor, it basically can rotate."

"I hadn’t thought about that for a while, so I wanted your advice since you know more about appliances."

Er Dan was watching from the side, eager to help. Brother Xiao He, who had attended night school to learn about repairs, had also been taught by his godfather these skills.

Occasionally, he would also discuss matters with Brother Xiao He.

"Your idea is really good. Electric fans are indeed too heavy and also not cheap."

Desktop fans cost over three hundred each, which was true, even the smaller ones cost over a hundred.

The pricing was astonishing, yet some families still bought one to share among themselves.

Those who thought the prices were high would just fan themselves with a hand fan on a hot day, yet it was still unbearably hot.

"Hadn’t you partnered with a home appliance factory before to produce electric rice cookers?"

Zhao Tianlei nodded and also mentioned this issue, "The design was leaked, and although I made some money, I plan to buy my own home appliance factory and then I might ask Master Gu for advice."

As someone with experience, Master Gu immediately understood what Zhao Tianlei meant.

This young man was bold.

An appliance factory was not easy to handle, it required a substantial investment.

He had heard from Er Dan that Zhao Tianlei owned a garment factory, which had launched several branches in Capital City and was doing exceptionally well. He even opened branches in Shanghai.

The young man was ambitious.
