Through a series of service upgrades and quality control measures, Jiang Ji Industrial successfully stabilized its footing, withstanding the fierce impact of Southern Electric Store's initial opening. Although the maintenance business for high-end imported new products was indeed partially diverted, in terms of regular repairs, refurbishment services, and handling "difficult problems," Jiang Ji remained the top choice for citizens and organizations, thanks to its deep technical expertise and good reputation.
However, Jiang Tao knew that this was merely a stopgap measure. Southern Electric had ample financial resources and flexible marketing strategies, and their focus on new products and imports truly represented the future consumer trends. Relying solely on defense would eventually lead to a gradual erosion of market share.
"I must establish my own 'moat,' a core competitive advantage that cannot be easily imitated!" Jiang Tao pondered late into the night more than once.
His gaze ultimately fell upon "parts."
Whether for daily repairs or refurbishment services, various components were indispensable. In this era, the shortage and poor quality of parts were common pain points for all repair shops. Even Southern Electric Store, which Jiang Tao had observed, often suggested customers replace entire modules or purchase new machines due to the lack of specific parts during repairs.
"What if... I could consistently provide high-quality replacement parts that even outperform the originals?" A bold idea gradually took shape in Jiang Tao's mind.
He possessed the ability to manipulate space. Although manufacturing complex precision components like textile machine gears was costly and difficult to mass-produce, creating simpler, commonly used parts with generally low market quality seemed feasible. These included high-strength screws of specific specifications, durable bicycle bearing balls, capacitors with precise capacities and longer lifespans, fuses that were less prone to burning out, and even optimized designs for fan and electric motor carbon brushes.
The key lay in how to improve "production efficiency" and reduce the mental power consumption per unit, making it commercially viable.
In the days that followed, Jiang Tao immersed himself once again in the "laboratory" of the back warehouse. He delegated more of the shop's daily operations to Old Liu and Wang Hao while focusing on technological breakthroughs in part manufacturing.
He no longer pursued the creation of overly complex components but instead chose several basic parts that had high usage rates but obvious quality issues as his breakthrough targets.
For instance, he focused on the ball bearings that were most prone to wear in bicycle bottom brackets. The hardness of market-available balls was generally low; they would lose their shape quickly, leading to abnormal noises from the bottom bracket and difficulty in pedaling. Jiang Tao experimented with guiding spatial energy through his mind to purify collected scrap steel and compress it into standard sizes while simulating quenching treatment in an energy field, producing "Special Steel Balls" with hardness far exceeding ordinary balls and an exceptionally smooth surface. He repeatedly tested this process, continuously adjusting energy output strength, frequency, and application methods to find the most energy-efficient and effective "formula."
He also analyzed the internal structures of fuses and inferior capacitors commonly found in radios and fans. By attempting to use higher-quality materials combined with precise control of energy fields, he aimed to create "Enhanced Version" fuses and capacitors with more accurate current interruption capabilities, stronger surge resistance, more stable capacities, and longer lifespans.
Additionally, he put into practice his previous optimizations for fan blades and electric motor carbon brushes by trying to "print" improved fan components that produced less noise and operated more efficiently.
This process was filled with challenges and failures; each attempt came with significant mental power consumption. Jiang Tao often found himself dizzy and pale from exhaustion. Lin Wei watched with concern; her heart ached for him as she urged him not to overexert himself. Yet seeing the determination and brilliance in her husband's eyes—the unique stubbornness of an engineer who would not rest until he achieved his goals—she ultimately chose to support him silently by preparing nutritious meals each day and offering him a cup of hot tea when he was weary.
