Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 16 The Third Bet

Zhang Yong pulled the madman to sit down, "Brother, you drank too much."

The madman was not like other drunks who tried their best to distinguish that they hadn't drunk too much, but just grabbed Zhang Yong, "You also drank too much, there are several times in life. But I'm not drunk, you don't know what I'm talking about What.……"

"Why do you think Tian Xiaowei can earn so much money?"

"He was very good and got an early start."

"That's right, but without SKydon, would he still be as good?"

"I don't know, brother, but I think it's not an easy thing to sell the most expensive equipment in the West to our not-so-rich country. No matter how you look at it, he is amazing."

The madman laughed, and he patted Zhang Yong's shoulder, "I'm telling you, I really hope you will always be so kind..."

"Of course Xiaowei is still a great person, but he is indeed standing on the shoulders of Skydon. It is common practice for developed countries in the West to use technological monopoly to obtain huge profits in developing countries. Xiaowei, using his status as a comprador, A secondary monopoly is formed with the Chinese market, and this level of monopoly is more ruthless than that of the West. Therefore, Xiaowei leads a company with no technical content, but earns higher profits than Skydon. This is the basis of his survival. "

"Times are changing, and this era of huge profits will eventually come to an end. Not only are Chinese users not agreeing, but it is also not in the interests of the West. So at this time, Xiaowei begins to need some people, some professionals who understand technology, such as you Yes. I don’t understand, what are you hesitating about such a good opportunity? Don’t think too far, Tiangong can’t be your eternal destination, I don’t know where your future is, but you have to go to the past to know.”

"And my future lies in the Big Dipper I just pointed out to you. Have you ever thought about it? If one day there is a circle of Chinese satellites in the sky, will GPS still be so unattainable?"

Zhang Yong's eyes gradually lit up, "Satellites are not enough, we also need equipment manufacturers like Skydon, who have their own receivers."

"Well, I will take care of the affairs of the sky, and leave the equipment to you."

"Does that mean the whole earth belongs to our seniors?"

"Yes, yes, another drink, boss, take the wine."

Zhang Yong, who drank the wine in his glass with a smile, slowly became serious. He shook his head and said, "Brother, you must always have a dream, otherwise what is the difference between a person alive and a salted fish. But what you said is too far away from us Now, I have no doubt that in the future we will have our own navigation system, but maybe in 50, 100 years, I'm not sure it's still relevant to us."

The angry madman was obviously upset, "Why are you so pessimistic? Are you belittling your own country's technological strength?"

"It's not belittling, but a fact. The gap in technology between China and the United States is still obvious. Although the GPS system was provided for civilian use in 83, in fact, American research can be traced back to the 60s, and the research on a space atomic clock will take 20 years. Even if we start developing our own navigation system today, I think it will be very difficult to start launching satellites 30 years later."

The madman suddenly woke up at this moment, as if what Zhang Yong said had deeply stimulated him, he picked up a glass of wine, "Zhang Yong, now I will make a third bet with you."

"Boss, are you addicted to gambling?"

"The second bet, I won. You can't solve your upgrade problem by sending emails online. The first bet, I will win soon. You won't stay in the center for too long. It's just that I didn't expect to come So fast, I thought one year was already a challenging bet. Now the third bet, I bet that within five years, there will be our own navigation satellite in the sky, do you bet?"

Zhang Yong did not hesitate this time, "I made a bet. Five years have passed in a blink of an eye. I should win this bet [-]%. I just think you are drunk today, and I am a little invincible, or you will wake up tomorrow. Let's re-bet."

The madman shook his head, "I just drank too much, who said I was drunk, I have never lost a bet with you, and I will definitely win today."

"Well, it's up to you, make a bet for us, and have a toast. Also, you didn't win the first bet, and I didn't say I was leaving."

"Stubborn, you didn't say it, but what you are doing now is not a preparation for leaving. It's not that you can't see the future clearly, it's just that you can't see yourself clearly." The madman said, talking The BP machine chain around Yong's waist, "You don't need this dog chain if you stay in the center."

"Don't worry, just wait, Xiaowei will take the initiative to find you. Just remember one thing, it's normal to talk about salary. Since he invites you, you might as well raise the price a bit. That's a never The master who will not suffer, it is true that you try to get as much benefit from him as possible."

"In that case, I haven't lost the second bet yet. I want to settle the [-] yuan with Xiaowei."

The angry maniac was indeed not drunk, even when he scolded King Xiaowei as a bastard, he was sober.This time he made a bet with Zhang Yong, he was even more confident than before, but it was not convenient for him to tell Zhang Yong about some things, even after drinking, he did not forget the confidentiality regulations.

For China's satellite navigation industry, today is one of the most important days that everyone may not remember.

It was no accident that Zhang Yong met the Taishan Beidou here. The academician was applying for a project. After some twists and turns, it was finally approved today and the project was officially approved.This project is to build China's own satellite navigation system, which is named "Beidou".

It was also the establishment of Beidou's project that strengthened the madman's idea of ​​returning to M University to continue his studies, and it also became the last straw that crushed his marriage.

In the dark, the fate of some people is always very similar. Angry Maniac and Zhang Yong, one because they want to come to Beijing, and the other because they want to leave Beijing, both lost their love.

Two men with the same illness, drank until late at night, and finally began to lose their minds, and the amount of alcohol a madman could drink could not match his boldness when drinking.Poor Zhang Yong, although he was drunk himself, but he staggered and sent the madman back to the hut where he lives alone now, and waited for the madman to sleep peacefully.It was already dawn, and Zhang Yong returned to the hotel to find his bicycle with a hangover and sleepiness all over his body, and rode back to the dormitory in the center.

Zhang Yong, who was sleepy and tired, wanted to sleep in the dormitory for 5 minutes. When he opened his eyes, he found that 10 minutes had passed. He rushed to the center without taking a shower, just in time for Jin Taro to send the Suzhou user out.

Today is still a good day. The data in Suzhou has been fully delivered and passed the internal acceptance. Party A is ready to return and prepare for the formal acceptance meeting.Party A thanked the center for its support and cooperation, and wanted to shake hands with Zhang Yong, but couldn't find anyone.

After leaving the gate, he ran into Zhang Yong with disheveled hair, red eyes and dark circles.

Jin Taro couldn't help feeling for Zhang Yong, this child has some supernatural powers, there is a saying in the courtyard, if you are not greedy or lazy, you can't open your eyes, Zhang Yong deliberately did the opposite, and almost didn't open his eyes when.The inspection and acceptance has been busy for a whole month, and he contributes the most every day. When it comes time to show up for the delivery of the results, Zhang Yong, who is almost never late, is not only absent from the acceptance inspection, but also appears in front of the user in this image.

'Perhaps,' Kintaro thought again, "this place really isn't for him."

……

……

The test of the engineering center has entered a substantive stage. On this day, Lei had another quarrel with the Skydon technical director on the phone. The two latest 8800 test prototypes and the choke coil antenna prepared for the Chinese project test have never been released. goods.Xiaowei questioned Lei, does Skydon still want this project?And Ray cast his anger on the supervisor who arranged the prototype.

The supervisor did not talk to Lei Gangang this time, but said lightly: "All the choke coil antennas are from JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), not controlled by SKydon, Lei, if you are in a hurry, why don't you go to NASA (NASA)."

Lei was very angry, "Why did I urge you, the preparation of the prototype is your job."

The supervisor replied politely, "Yes, so we are rushing." Then hung up the phone.

The supervisor who hung up the phone looked at the two brand new choke coil antennas on his desk that looked like gold.Obviously, he had already got the antenna, and there were other reasons for not delivering it.

These two devices were given to Tiangong as free prototypes, which is very expensive, but compared to the huge Chinese project, this price is insignificant to Skydon, but it still attracted the attention of the financial department.Because Xiaowei has a lot of requests like this, and Lei almost never refuses Xiaowei's requests, and the sum is not a small number.And the account period requirements for this project have crossed SKydon's bottom line early.

Several relevant executives gathered in the conference room, and they drew a diagram to express the huge adverse impact on Skydon if such consequences occur.

The door of the meeting room opened, and Carl walked in, followed by the handsome Chinese man. "Gentlemen, don't waste time. I agree with what you said, but the Chinese project is something we can't afford to miss. The two prototypes will be sent out immediately, and all the problems you worry about will be left to him to solve." Carl will The Chinese man pulled to his side.

……

The tired Zhang Yong slept the whole day on Saturday, woke up on Sunday, washed up, and then went to the computer room, where he sat quietly for the whole day.In the evening, he took back his modem from the computer bag, and touched all the computers in the computer room one by one, "Goodbye, guys."

Then he came to the instrument room and said goodbye to the six equipment one by one, "Goodbye, I can no longer accompany you to climb mountains, but I will see more of your brothers and sisters. Or your children and grandchildren."

After finishing all this, he dialed Xiaowei's cell phone, and as expected, there was that magnetic voice on the phone again who was in control of everything, "Zhang Yong, hello. I know you will call me, but I didn't expect that you would make me wait so long."

"Hello, Xiaowei. I think we haven't settled the 3 yuan account yet. When is the time, let's sit down and do the calculation carefully."

There was a smile in Xiaowei's voice, "Okay, come to me next week, and I will wait for you in Tiangong's office."

　"Dreams are always necessary, otherwise what is the difference between a person alive and a salted fish"

　　The younger brother raised doubts about this sentence, because this line came from Master Xing's Shaolin football. Judging from the timeline, the movie has not yet been released.

　　But since this type of mistake is often made in film and television dramas, let's keep it for now.

　　But I apologize to readers for that!
