The leaders were having a lot of fun playing with the remote control, which really proved the saying "A man is a boy until he dies". After finally seeing it, Minister Li spoke first:

"Engineer Yi, this is such a big surprise. I really didn't expect you to be able to do this. It's great. I will ask my superiors and you for credit this time. I must ask for credit."

"Of course, I can imagine how popular this TV will be when it is launched. It is so advanced that this patented technology must be registered as soon as possible.

Mr. Yi, prepare the patent application materials today. I will take them away in a moment. We must open the eyes of those foreign devils. They still dare to look down on us and give them a slap in the face. "

Deputy Minister Lin spoke with a proud look on his face. Over the years, they, the diplomats, have suffered a lot from the outside world. A weak country has no diplomacy. This time we must also hold our heads high and let them broaden their horizons.

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare the materials for you right away." Yi Ping'an asked the team to prepare the materials for Vice Minister Lin. The core issues must not be told to them, such as what chip numbers are there, there are no specific names at all.

"By the way, Mr. Yi, your video is very well shot. Can you give me a copy? It will be great for a promotional video." As expected of a businessman, Deputy Minister Lin has a sharp eye.

"Of course. In fact, we can also shoot an advertisement and promote it on public platforms in the sales area. We can also put it as a promotional video on the televisions sold." Yi Ping'an thought of the marketing methods used in later generations and made this suggestion.

Our predecessors believed in "good wine needs no bush", so they paid more attention to quality, but those foreign companies paid more attention to publicity, so that in the 1980s and 1990s, we were suppressed by them and had difficulty breathing. Many domestic products were acquired by them, or even went bankrupt. Only a few old companies were struggling to survive.

No matter what you say in this life, you must be ahead. As long as you give an idea, there will surely be a flourishing of all kinds of ideas. Yi Ping'an never doubts the thinking of the Chinese people.

"TV advertising?" Vice Minister Lin raised his question. He had not thought about this aspect.

So Yi Ping'an told Deputy Minister Lin again about the propaganda methods commonly seen in later generations:

For example, there is a three-year warranty, a free tea set when purchasing a full set of home appliances, and if your purchase exceeds a certain amount, you will automatically become a member, and when new products come out in the future, you can exchange your old ones for new ones at a discount.

These marketing methods, which are very common in later generations, are refreshing to Deputy Minister Lin. He even thought about transferring Yi Ping'an away. No wonder people who know Yi Gong call him "Little Pegasus". This idea is really wild and unrestrained.

But he turned his head to look at Director Liu and decisively gave up his idea. He felt that if he said it, this guy would beat him to death. Last time, Minister Li wanted to transfer Yi Gong to the Ministry of Light Industry, this old guy almost killed someone. He couldn't afford to offend him, but it was really a pity.

Yi Ping'an didn't care about their thoughts. He felt that life was pretty good now. The director protected him and supported his ideas. He could take leave whenever he wanted. He felt extremely comfortable. Yi Ping'an thought he might as well stay here until retirement.

"Mr. Yi, you are such a talent. You know everything about business. Compared with you, all of us have lived in vain." Deputy Minister Lin said as he looked at Director Liu, and the "regret" in his eyes turned into a knife.

When Director Liu saw Deputy Minister Lin's eyes, he immediately understood what he meant and glared back at him fiercely. The meaning was very clear: if you dare to poach people, don't blame me for being rude.

Deputy Minister Lin turned away and looked at the old man. He was really a smart guy. He occupied the position early and asked Yi Ping'an: "Engineer Yi, how long will it take for this TV to be finished?"

"Deputy Minister Lin, if things go well, the finished product can be produced tomorrow. There is only one final debugging left, and it can be handed in if there are no problems." Yi Ping'an said.

"Well, Mr. Yi, how many machines did you make this time?" Deputy Minister Lin nodded, looked around and asked. There were more than just this one here, there were also several semi-finished products.

Yi Ping'an didn't say anything and looked at Director Liu. Yi Ping'an had made a report before that five televisions would be tested initially this time. The meaning was very clear: You talk, I won't get involved in the wrangling between leaders.

"What do you care how many machines we have? We have the drawings and data, but you can't make them? If you ask me, don't give us any. If you can't make them, they are just waste." Director Liu glanced at Deputy Minister Lin and said.

Minister Li watched the conversation between the two people, and then looked at the semi-finished products next to him that needed debugging, and he understood that there were surpluses. He didn't say anything, and planned to coordinate with Director Liu privately later.

This is a common thing, and it is not a mistake. When a new product is launched, shouldn't it be put into practical use? We must always see the actual effect. In medicine, it is called clinical trials, and in scientific research, it is called trial runs. In short, rules are dead, but people are alive. Otherwise, Director Liu of the refrigerator would not be so depressed.

Deputy Minister Lin was not angry when he was confronted. He also wanted one this time, but he was afraid that there might not be enough. Shouldn't he inquire about it in advance?

Without saying a word, the two ministers each held one of Director Liu's arms and led him out of the laboratory, giving a very high-sounding reason: the researchers' work cannot be delayed.

Yi Ping'an shook his head, ignored the issues between the leaders, and continued to debug the remaining televisions.

Two days later, the five televisions were assembled and debugged and ready to be handed in. Yi Ping'an went to Director Liu's office again.

"Leader, the TV is finished and can be handed in. Here are all the drawings of the TV and remote control. I have sorted them out and sealed them. Here is the research report, which is also sealed."

Yi Ping'an said as he handed a file bag and a thick packaging bag to Director Liu. The packaging bag was particularly thick, as if several file bags were wrapped together, and the seal of the home appliance group was stamped on the seam.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yi. You have achieved remarkable results in the past six months. The leaders are very happy. The commendation meeting will be held soon. You must be well prepared and dress nicely that day." Director Liu said happily.

"I understand. I'm a little nervous. To be honest, I've never been to the Great Hall. This is my first time." Yi Ping'an was a little excited at the thought of going to the Great Hall to attend the commendation meeting. He was afraid of making a fool of himself.

"Hahaha, it's normal to be nervous, but this time the commendation is for advanced workers, and your reward is also for advanced workers, with a medal and a certificate.

So you don't need to be too nervous. There are other advanced workers participating in the commendation ceremony this time, and you can enter the venue with them.

After the commendation meeting, a staff member will come to pick you up. Your reward for home appliance R&D will be issued separately."

When Director Liu said these words, his tone was relaxed but his eyes were serious. Yi Ping'an understood after hearing it that home appliances cannot be displayed in public and must remain confidential, so this time he was commended in the name of an advanced worker.

What Yi Ping'an didn't know was that, because Chinese home appliances were becoming extremely popular internationally, some shameless people had proposed technology sharing, and were also indirectly inquiring about the R&D personnel. They all used a pseudonym - "Qi Ji" - to apply for patented technology, after all, their real name would be exposed.

There is another story about Yi Ping'an's pseudonym - Qi Ji. It is said that it was given by Mr. Wu. He was in charge of diplomacy and knew how crazy it was to find him abroad, so he used this pseudonym when applying for a patent.

First of all, Qi Jitong talked about the "miracle", because Yi Ping'an is indeed a miracle. He is young and knowledgeable. Apart from being a little homesick, he has no other problems. The leaders all think that he may have been too lonely when he was a child, so he is particularly homesick.

Secondly, "叽" means talent, and it can be broken down into "马翼", which refers to the wings of a horse. A horse with wings is a Pegasus. Yi Ping'an's nickname is "Little Pegasus" because his thinking is always wild and unconstrained, so he was given such a nickname. Of course, Yi Ping'an himself didn't know he had this nickname.
