Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

If a young man came up to compete with Wang Weidong at this time, Wang Weidong would definitely deal with him unceremoniously.

But this old comrade seems to have a strong sense of martial ethics.

Wang Weidong smiled and said: "Old comrade, you are very confident, which is good, but I can't take advantage of you. Well, I'll give you five seconds to fiddle with the abacus beads."

As soon as these words came out, the old comrade was simply stunned.

"Hey, you're a young man, but your tone is not young. OK, OK, OK, OK. Since you don't know the heights of the world, I'm going to teach you a lesson first."

The old comrade did not give in. He sat in front of the table, took a deep breath, and assumed a posture of being ready to make calculations at any time.

At this time, an old teacher came out of the crowd.

He named two nine-digit numbers.

With the crackling sound of abacus beads fluctuating, the old comrade began to calculate.

Wang Weidong raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch. After the stopwatch jumped five times, he gently entered the corresponding number on the keyboard of the minicomputer.

He gently pressed the Enter key, and an answer popped up on the minicomputer.

Wang Weidong said the answer casually, and the onlookers were stunned.

"This is incredible. It only took him less than two seconds to come up with the answer."

"Yes, look, that old comrade hasn't finished calculating yet. How can he be so fast?"

"I think he is talking nonsense. This young man is young, but he can deceive people."

Of course the old comrade heard the comments of the onlookers.

However, he was not anxious, because he also determined that Wang Weidong's answer must be random.

After he calculates the result in a while, he can give him a hard slap in the face. He wants this young comrade to understand what honesty means?

Half a minute later, the old comrade finally calculated the numbers.

He stood up and bravely gave his answer.

He looked at the onlookers and waited for their cheers.

But what awaited was silence.

The onlookers looked at Wang Weidong with shocked eyes.

The old comrade felt something was wrong, and turned to look at the display screen of the minicomputer.

The number displayed on the gray screen was exactly the same as the answer it calculated.

The old comrade gasped in shock.

At this time, a burst of discussion broke out from the crowd of onlookers.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that this comrade would calculate the answer just by pressing a few buttons."

"The speed is dozens of times faster. This thing is really easier to use than an abacus. Think about it, we still need to learn this thing with the abacus. All you need to do is press a few buttons."

"What did the comrade call this guy just now? It's called a computer, right? That means it can be used as long as it uses electricity."

"It used to be powered by electricity. No wonder. Nowadays, the gadgets that use electricity are very powerful. For example, the lathe in our workshop used to require more than a dozen workers to turn it. Now after the renovation, the electricity is turned on. All that is required is to turn on the switch and turn the lathe on." It will work."

"This thing is so practical. What we as accountants fear most is calculating numbers. If we can get this thing home, we won't have to worry about it in the future."

“I just don’t know how expensive this thing is.”

The onlookers immediately realized a problem.

As the saying goes, good goods are not cheap, and good goods are not cheap.

While this small machine is great to use, it doesn't make any sense if they can't afford it.

The first person you raised your hand to ask about the price turned out to be an old accountant from the Beijing Department Store.

The old accountant's hair was almost bald, and he looked like he stayed up late.

He raised his hand and asked: "This leader, how much does your minicomputer cost? Do you need industrial coupons?"

Wang Weidong said with a smile: "There are two types of minicomputers in our Lanhua Automobile Factory. One is a full-featured type that can run various programs. The price is 2,000 yuan per unit."

Hearing these words, the onlookers took a deep breath.

"Two thousand yuan, who can have so much money? My monthly salary is only fifty yuan."

"Yeah, even if I were to save money for a lifetime, I wouldn't be able to save enough two thousand yuan."

"This thing is not for people like us to use at all. I think it should be specially used for scientific research sites or laboratories."

The onlookers suddenly lost interest in the minicomputer.

Just kidding, no matter how good the thing is, it must be something they can afford.

Wang Weidong said calmly: "In addition to this full-featured minicomputer, our Orchid Air Cushion Factory has also developed a minicomputer specially used for calculations. You can also call it a calculator."

Having said this, Wang Weidong took out a calculator from the box that was much smaller than a minicomputer. This calculator also consisted of a host computer and a monitor, but the size of the host computer was much smaller than that of a small computer.

"Calculator? How much does this thing cost?" the old accountant then asked.

Wang Weidong said with a smile: "The price of the calculator is only two hundred and fifty yuan, and you only need an industrial ticket."

"Two hundred and fifty yuan, the price is still not low, but it is much less than two thousand yuan. We can still afford it." The old accountant suddenly became energetic.

After working as an accountant for so many years, the thing that annoyed him the most was calculating all kinds of numbers.

He fiddles with the abacus beads every day, and his fingers hurt. If he had this kind of calculator, how easy would his daily work be?

Of course there is another important question now.

The old comrade then asked: "Leader, does your calculator have the same function as a minicomputer?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "I mean, the speed at which he calculates numbers is the same as the speed at which this minicomputer calculates numbers?"

"Don't worry, there is no difference in the calculation speed between the two."

Wang Weidong said with a smile.

After researching minicomputers, Wang Weidong began to worry about one thing, and that was the high price of minicomputers.

You must know that in this day and age, things like computers are extremely expensive.

Computers in North America can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars each. Even if Wang Weidong has tried his best to save scientific research costs and manufacturing costs, he still needs at least two thousand yuan to maintain production. Such high prices are beyond the reach of the masses.

A product that cannot be popularized is a meaningless product.

So Wang Weidong thought of simplifying the minicomputer and cutting out most of its functions, leaving only the computing function.

In this way, the production cost of minicomputers will be greatly reduced.

His idea was a success.

Although those people also think that the price of two hundred yuan is still a bit high, they are still willing to spend so much money to buy a calculator in order to save a little effort.

At that time, more than 20 people paid money.

The reason why only more than twenty units were sold is simple: there were only so many calculators produced in the first batch. When Wang Weidong saw that the calculators had been sold out, he prepared the staff of the offshore factory to close the stall.

At this time, the onlookers were still unwilling to let go.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you agree? We'll pay for the two hundred yuan."

"Is there not that much inventory? Don't worry, we can wait, we can pay the deposit first."

"I pay the full deposit, here is two hundred yuan, please be sure to sell me the calculator."

'I also pay two hundred yuan. Here is the money. You should collect it quickly. '

Those who had not bought a calculator were anxious, took out their money from their pockets, and crowded in front of Wang Weidong.

At this time, Qin Huairu in the courtyard was visiting a department store.

Of course, he was just shopping because he had no money to buy the goods in the department store.

Tired of shopping, Qin Huairu originally wanted to go home and cook.

As soon as he walked down the stairs, he saw the onlookers putting money into Wang Weidong's hand.

The handfuls of money looked like hundreds of dollars, and Qin Huairu couldn't close his mouth.

What big thing did Wang Weidong do again? To make so much money.

If I could give him any help, his life would be much easier these past few years.

Of course, Qin Huairu also knew that Wang Weidong was different from others. If he did not accept his moral kidnapping, he would only be humiliating himself even if he went to borrow money in the morning.

So Qin Huairu could only return to the courtyard with his head hanging down.

According to Wang Weidong's statistics, three minicomputers were sold, and after all the calculators were sold, more than 500 units were ordered.

This also gave him a clearer understanding of the consumption levels of people in this era.

The emergence of minicomputers and computers immediately shocked the world. Especially after everyone discovered the various functions of minicomputers, many people became interested in minicomputers.

Some people with ulterior motives came to Lanhua Automobile Factory one after another to understand the secrets inside the minicomputer.

Of course, it's not like they haven't tried to dismantle the minicomputer, only to find that they couldn't understand what was inside.

They couldn't figure out how those lumpy things could calculate numbers.

In this week alone, the security department of Lanhua Automobile Factory arrested more than 20 people, so it is not surprising that they had such thoughts when they saw Liu Guangqi.

However, Section Chief Liu is obviously more cautious than ordinary security officers.

He saw that Liu Guangqi was wearing the uniform of a steel mill and exuded a gentle aura. He did not look like the kind of person who would do bad things.

Section Chief Liu pointed to the chair, asked Liu Guangqi to sit down, and then asked: "Why do you, a little comrade, forcefully break into our gate?"

Liu Guangqi quickly explained: "Boss, you have misunderstood. I didn't mean to force myself into bed at all. I came to see my wife. It was just that I was off work at that time and there were many people at the gate.

So in order to avoid trouble, I didn't register with your security department. I thought I would sneak in secretly, but who knew I would be caught by you. "

"What's your wife's name?"

"Zhao Shuya, she is the translator at your Lanhua Automobile Factory."

Hearing this name, Section Chief Liu believed in him even more.

Because he heard from Wang Weidong a while ago that there was a new translator named Zhao Shuya at the Lanhua Automobile Factory.

As the factory director, Wang Weidong doesn't care at all when ordinary workers or technicians are hired.

The reason why Zhao Shuya was singled out was because Zhao Shuya was also considered a resident of the courtyard and his neighbor.

After figuring out the truth of the matter, Section Chief Liu asked Liu Guangqi to wait in the security department for a while, and he called someone to notify Zhao Shuya.

At this time, Zhao Shuya was introducing minicomputers to a guest of Lao Maozi.

The old man felt that the price of minicomputers was relatively expensive.

"This beautiful lesbian, a small computer in your factory costs 10,000 yuan. This price is far beyond our affordability."

Yes, Wang Weidong adopts a regional strategy for the pricing of minicomputers.

The price of a minicomputer in China is two thousand, but if it is sold abroad, the price will soar to ten thousand.

Zhao Shuya said with a smile: "Comrade, you are simply kidding. As far as we know, the price of a minicomputer sold to you in North America is more than 20,000 US dollars. We only need 10,000 yuan, and the price is as high as that of free computers." It’s the same gift.”

Hearing this, the old man was speechless.

When he turned his eyes and saw that there was no one else next to him, he lowered his voice and said, "Comrade, if you can get the internal programming of the minicomputer, I am willing to pay 100,000 yuan."

In this old man's opinion, one hundred thousand yuan is enough for Zhao Shuya to live comfortably for the rest of her life. From now on, she will no longer have to work hard in a factory.

but.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Shuya's face turned serious.

Zhao Shuya turned towards the door and shouted: "Director Zhou, there is a guest here. He wants to bribe me to understand the internal procedures of our minicomputer. He needs you to handle it."

Officer Zhou, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, rushed over with two officers from the security department.

Seeing the aggressive Director Zhou, the old man was so frightened that his legs became weak.

He couldn't understand why the woman in front of him would keep one hundred thousand yuan instead of asking for it. Is she stupid?

After Director Zhou took the people away, it was dinner time.

Zhao Shuya reported the matter to the director of the sales office, and then prepared to go home for dinner.

Before he could reach the door, the officer from the security department walked in again, looked at him and said, "Comrade Zhao Shuya, your husband was caught by our security department people. Now go and seduce him."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuya was startled and quickly stepped forward to ask what was going on.

When Zhao Shuya found out that Liu Guangqi actually wanted to sneak into the Lanhua Automobile Factory secretly, her lips trembled with anger.

Since Zhao Shuya entered Lanhua Automobile Factory, she has been highly praised by her comrades for her excellent translation skills and strong style.

In addition, she revealed today that this guest, Zhao Shuya, could have won the title of advanced employee this month.

Now because of Liu Guangqi's incident, he might not be able to get the title.

To be honest, Zhao Shuya doesn't care about the bonus that this title brings, but this title is an affirmation of his work.

Only after Zhao Shuya came to Lanhua Automobile Factory did she find her goal in life.

She once vowed that she would achieve great results in the Orchid Automobile Factory.

As a result, before her results were obtained, her husband was arrested for accidentally entering the factory. Do you think Zhao Shuya was angry?

She walked quickly towards the security department.

Liu Guangqi and others jumped up excitedly when they saw Zhao Shuya in the security department.

He complained to Zhao Shuya: "I blame my daughter-in-law for the fact that the management in your factory is too strict. I just followed the workers into the factory, and the security officer arrested me."
