Chapter 38 Sticky Mouse Board
The two walked downstairs, Zhao Liming asked: "Brother Dong, where are we going?"
"Hardware market." Yang Wendong replied.
In Hong Kong in the 1950s, industry had begun to show a very strong trend of development, especially the plastics, textiles, and the most basic metal processing industries.
The development of industry naturally led to the development of hardware stores.
There are also some factories in Tsim Sha Tsui, so there are also many hardware store markets.
Yang Wendong walked around and found a store that looked good in size. After entering, there were no other customers inside, so he asked: "Boss, do you have glue here?"
"Glue? There is some." The boss is a bald man about 40 years old. After seeing Yang Wendong, he immediately asked happily: "What kind of glue do you want, sir? Pressure-sensitive? Instant drying? Latex? Glass glue?"< br>
"..." Hearing a lot of professional terms spoken by his boss, Yang Wendong was a little confused. He was not sure. Then he thought about it and asked, "I just want to."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, several policemen walked in. As soon as the boss looked at the policemen, his smile immediately disappeared and he said to Yang Wendong: "Sir, please take a look first, I will come back later."
"Well, okay." Yang Wendong nodded, just as he needed some time to understand it.
“Ah, sir.” The shop owner walked up with a smile on his face.
"Along, business is good. Every time I come to your place, there are customers." The leading policeman, with a cigarette in his mouth and a face full of fat, smiled and patted the shop owner, Aaron. said the shoulder.
Aaron quickly said: "Sir, it's a small business."
"Don't run a small business. I hear people say that business is bad every day, but how did I hear that you have been in business recently? Changing houses again?" the cigarette-smoking policeman said with a sneer.
Aaron said: "I changed to a low-end and poor-quality one. I just had an additional son. The house is too small. I need to change to a bigger one. Otherwise, it will be difficult for a family of eight to live."
"No. Is it easy to live in? You have three wives, so don’t be too proud when you are so cool." Another policeman said with a smile.
After hearing this, Yang Wendong couldn't help but look at the bald boss.
Awesome!
Aaron smiled and said, "Sir, I regret it so much now. I'm under a lot of pressure."
"Come on, it's the old rule, you have to pay the fee." One of the policemen said after looking at his watch.
Alonlian said: "Okay, please keep it."
After the police collected the money, they chatted for a while, then left with a smile.
“Bah~” The bald boss Aaron spit out subconsciously, but suddenly remembered that there were people in the store, so he laughed and said, “The two gentlemen are laughing.”
“Just now That’s one month’s cost?” Yang Wendong asked.
The bald boss Aaron nodded and said: "Yes, one month, but this is only for the police and gang members. In addition, you have to pay rent and property fees. Alas, although the world is getting better, it is still difficult."
"Well, actually it's the same. Without these people, your rent would also increase. Believe it or not?" Yang Wendong said with a smile.
In fact, no matter what kind of society, the fundamental principle is to let the lower class survive reluctantly. At most, a civilized and clean society uses legal and non-violent means. Today's Hong Kong society uses violence.
Of course, the former is definitely better no matter what. After all, society is still progressing.
But capitalists will use all means to earn the highest profits. This is eternal. At most, due to the improvement of the productivity of the entire society, life at the bottom will not be so hard. Aaron was a little surprised and said: "Yes, in fact, the past few years were even worse than now. The past few years have been a little better, but the rent has indeed increased even more."
Zhao Liming on the side asked: "Boss, do you have three wives?"
Along said with a smile: "Yes, there were too many outsiders in Hong Kong in the past few years, there were several If the woman falls in love with me, it wouldn’t be surprising if there are five or six of her.
Aaron sighed and shook his head and said, "What's so great about it? I wasn't sensible when I was young, but now I know the pain after raising a family. I have 6 children now, and you don't know how tiring it is to raise them."
"Li Ming, you can do it if you have money in the future." Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Boss, I want to apply glue on the wooden board and then stick leather items on it. What kind of glue is better?"
< br>"How strong should the adhesive be? Should I take it off later, or should I just leave it alone?" The boss, Aaron, saw that he was talking about business and returned to normal.
Yang Wendong said: "It needs strong stickiness, the kind that can stick to things after being stored for a long time."
Buying glue is naturally to make the most famous mouse trap in later generations. Artifact: Sticky Mouse Board.
This thing is very simple in theory and easy to make, but because I had no money in the early stage and could not register a patent, I never started.
Now the right time has come. In addition, if you want to deal with so many rats on and around the pier, but you can't use rat poison on a large scale, you can only use this artifact, which will be very effective in future generations.
Aaron turned back, glanced at the cabinet behind him, took out a small bottle of transparent glue from it, and said: "This is a glue called NK5308 imported from Japan. It is very sticky and can stick to wood. "
"How much does a bottle cost?" Yang Wendong asked, looking at the almost 50 ml (1/10 mineral water bottle) glue in his hand.
Aaron said: "2 yuan."
Yang Wendong thought for a while and asked: "Is there a factory that makes glue in Hong Kong?"
The boss Aaron shook his head and said: "As far as I know, there is no such thing. Glue is considered a chemical industry. There should be no such industry in Hong Kong. They are all imported."
Yang Wendong asked again: "Then what if I buy There are many, can it be cheaper?"
The boss asked: "How much do you want to buy?"
Yang Wendong said: "A lot, if this glue is good, hundreds of bottles may not be enough. It’s best to have large packaging.”
Boss Aaron said: “I can find a dealer to buy the glue in a barrel. A barrel of glue is estimated to be ten kilograms, but I haven’t asked how much it costs. ”
"Okay, ask me if you have time. If there is no problem with the glue, I will come back next time." Yang Wendong said.
The boss said: "Okay."
Yang Wendong asked again: "By the way, I need a layer of something similar to paper that can cover the glue, but does not stick to the glue. It can be torn directly without affecting the properties of the glue.”
“Yes, this kind. Smooth stickers will do." The boss took out a piece of paper that was not too small and said, "As long as it is smooth enough, it will not stick. There are many such papers in factories or construction industries."
"Well, let me take a look." Yang Wendong took it and touched it with his hand. It felt like the back of the tape.
It's very smooth. As long as the surface is smooth enough, it won't get stuck.
PS: Please give me a monthly recommendation.
