The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

March 1962, in the north, on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology.

At this time, Wang Xueguo was writing a thesis in seclusion in the library, and he was studying the thesis all day long.

Because the paper I submitted before the holiday last year was rejected.

There are too many places that need to be modified.

This was an introductory paper on railway construction. He thought it was well written, but his teacher said it was no good and had to be rewritten.

Gan!

It was so torturous.

Unknowingly, Wang Xueguo forgot how many pages he had turned until his stomach growled, so he packed up his books and hurried to the cafeteria to eat.

After dinner, he returned to the dormitory and was about to take a nap when he heard Wang Xueguo's question from his roommate.

"Second brother, our department sent a notice today, saying that a research institute is recruiting people. As long as you pass their recruitment exam, you can become their intern researcher."

Wang Xueguo rolled his eyes when he heard this:

"Aren't our jobs assigned by the state? Why do we have to take their exams to go to a research institute? Why are they so arrogant?"

"You know a hammer."

Another roommate immediately retorted:

"Young man, you don't know. I heard from our senior sister that their research institute is very good, and the most important thing is that the treatment is excellent."

"If you can pass their test and become a full-time researcher from an intern researcher, the salary will be amazing."

"And I also read the notice, which said that intern researchers can receive a salary of fifty-five yuan per month."

When Wang Xueguo heard this, he was stunned:

"There are really so many nest grasses?"

Wang Xueguo learned the word "wocao" from Chen Guohua. The latter only said it a few times, and then Wang Xueguo, Luo Feng, and Ma Bingyu all learned it.

Even the good girls Feng Yue and Mei Lihua would say these two words when they were pushed into a hurry.

"Nonsense, what's the point of lying to you?"

After hearing this, Wang Xueguo didn't care so much and just ran to sign up.

During the previous Spring Festival, he listened to Chen Guohua's advice and prepared to apply for a job in a ministry.

But now it seems that the work of the institute is better.

Everyone knows to choose a job with a high salary.

Just when Wang Xueguo was about to register for the exam, Luo Feng, Ma Bingyu and Hu Xianxun in the capital also received these notifications.

But the three of them didn't even think about it and didn't sign up at all.

Just because the three of them are self-aware, of course they won't join in the fun.

Because there are still some exams that need to be taken, which means there will be many people competing, and they can only be regarded as scumbags.

Since you are a scumbag, don't join in the fun to avoid embarrassment.

In the magical city, East China Normal University, in the female dormitory building, Feng Yue also quickly learned about the recruitment examination notice for the graduate school.

She didn't think much about it, she just signed up for the exam with everyone else.

Mei Lihua from Fudan University has already completed her registration after receiving the notice from Feng Yue.

I have never heard of such a recruitment examination before.

However, some people who inquired knew that the senior brothers and sisters from the previous class went to this institute.

So many people have chosen to sign up for the exam.

What's more, considering that intern researchers can get a salary of fifty-five yuan, it is normal to sign up to take the exam.

Even if you have trouble with anything, you can't have trouble with money, right?

This year, Zhenhua Research Institute’s quota of 200 college students will be based on merit-based admissions through examinations.

Rather than relying on previous departmental scores for recommendation.

Now, their academic performance in the first three years of college can only be used as a reference. The most important thing is their performance in the three or four months of the examination and internship period.

While Wang Xueguo, Feng Yue, and Mei Lihua were busy taking the exam, on the North American side, Fairchild Semiconductor, Noyce, and Gordon Moore were cheering.

The proximity lithography machine was finally developed by them.

"We finally know why China Resources is able to mass-produce so many chips. This proximity lithography machine is indeed amazing."

Noyce looked at the chip that had just been produced using a proximity lithography machine and said with an ecstatic expression.

In the past, they used the oldest contact lithography machine, which is a shielding lithography machine.

This kind of photolithography technology has low yield and high cost.

Because of this, when China Resources sold a chip for US$80,000, they all accepted it.

Even when they took out the Huayue calculator in September last year, Noyce and others pretended that they had not seen the chip used in the calculator.

After all, China Resources' ability to mass-produce so many calculators means that they can already mass-produce more chips.

As a result, they still priced each chip at US$80,000, and the starting price was 1,000 chips.

It was a blatant attempt to steal their money.

North America has always been the only one that can steal other people's money. As a result, in the high-tech product of semiconductor chips, North America has been robbed of so much money by a backward eastern country.

And, the most ironic thing is that their North American computer industry giant, IBM, also purchased so many Huayue calculators from China Resources.

He willingly became a second-rate dealer.

It's simply a shame and a shame.

IBM is a cancer in the industry and will do anything to make money!

"That's for sure. What we are using now is a new generation of photolithography machine technology."

Gordon Moore's mood is also very beautiful:

"Fortunately, we thought of this proximity technology, so that the mask and the wafer show that the photoresist is not in direct contact, and there is a gap filled with nitrogen."

"But we still have no way to reduce the feature size, and there is a huge disadvantage: the distance between the mask and the wafer will cause light to diffract."

These problems are all practical problems that they currently have no way to solve.

Of course, the advantage of proximity lithography machines is that they have higher production efficiency, so people like Noyce are so ecstatic at this moment.

"Okay, let's seize the time to complete the next testing work and then start mass production. Now it's time for Fairchild Semiconductor to make a lot of money."

Noyce said.

Blanc, Eugene Claire, Gerast and others smiled without saying a word, lowered their heads and continued working.

In the entire development process of proximity lithography machines, Noyce and Gordon Moore contributed the most.

Therefore, the other six of them have much less say at this time.

According to Noyce, this time they are not selling chips, but lithography machines.

Only in this way can we avoid direct competition with China Resources.

Although Gordon Moore, Greenick and others were unwilling, they had to accept Noyce's suggestion.

As we all know, China Resources is in full swing today.

Since people had already taken out the photolithography machine last year or even earlier, they also produced a chip with two thousand transistors built in.

So if they sell chips directly at this time, they will definitely not be able to compete with each other.

You know, if they are selling chips, they still need to work hard on chip design, packaging technology, etc.

The most important thing is to purchase transistors, which will undoubtedly increase their costs.

However, in order to develop the lithography machine, they have invested at least 200 million US dollars and paid part of the shares in exchange for today's lithography machine.

As Noyce and the others continue to recover, it is of course more cost-effective to directly sell the photolithography opportunities.

As a result, Fairchild Semiconductor Company began to contact the seller intensively.

IBM Corporation, President's Office, Noyce personally came to negotiate with Watson Jr.

The latter is, after all, the president of a giant company in the North American computer industry, even though IBM's market share has declined over the past year or so.

But there is no doubt that it is still the giant in the North American computer market.

Strong financial situation!

In the past 1961, IBM's revenue did not drop much. Instead, it was due to the sale of the Huayue calculator. In addition, after May and June of 1961, it stopped losses in time and did not spend a large amount of money to buy money from China Resources. Purchase chips or transistors there.

Therefore, IBM's revenue and profits are still very impressive, with annual revenue reaching US$2.38 billion.

In terms of profit, it would have reached US$316 million.

So, how could Noyce turn a blind eye to such a wealthy person with a big grievance?

Watson was somewhat surprised and surprised by Noyce's intention.

However, after learning that the other party was here to sell photolithography machines, Watson was pleasantly surprised.

So he hurriedly went to Fairchild Semiconductor Company in Silicon Valley to see for himself how advanced the lithography machines manufactured by the other party were.

Winkelman, their company's technical director, also came over. Several people wearing protective clothing stood in the clean room and watched Fairchild Semiconductor's engineers making chips.

After a period of waiting, Watson Jr. and Winkelmann finally got the data they wanted.

In terms of chip quality, it has surpassed all chips on the market today, and its power consumption is at least 17% lower than today's China Resources chips.

The yield rate has also improved a lot, at least around 80%.

In terms of specific performance, it is 13.5% higher than China Resources' 500-piece transistor chip.

The most important thing is that this current proximity lithography machine can produce 5,000 transistor chips.

In other words, Fairchild Semiconductor, led by Noyce and his eight rebels, has really developed the most advanced chip manufacturing technology in the world.

God, they are so awesome!

Whether it was Winkelmann or Watson, they were both very happy.

After all, if this happens, chip prices will inevitably decrease.

The outrageous price of US$80,000 per chip proposed by China Resources is definitely impossible now.

Of course, the reason why China Resources raised such a price at that time was to prevent IBM from pushing back on their technology.

Directly avoiding so-called patents, or ignoring patents, results in ridiculously high prices.

There was no way, even if the situation at the time was relatively clever, the price was still outrageous after all.

Faced with such excellent chip manufacturing machines and processes, Watson Jr. and Winkelmann both wanted to win.

However, out of caution, Watson Jr. is preparing to order two photolithography machines.

When asked about the price, Watson laughed angrily.

"Watson, you also know that our Fairchild Semiconductor Company has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the cost alone to develop this photolithography machine."

"So the current price of this photolithography machine is US$35 million."

Looking at the smiling Robert Noyce, Watson wanted to throw away his sleeves and leave.

But he knew very well that this would definitely not work.

So he had to force himself to calm down and then have a good discussion on the price with the other party.

At the same time, Texas Instruments, Cray Corporation, Ector Mochley Computer Company and other companies also came into contact with the sales sent by Fairchild Semiconductor.

Faced with a photolithography machine with superior performance, no one can refuse.

For a time, many people went to Silicon Valley.

The president of Clay Company was very cunning. Before leaving, he even arranged for someone to send a telegram to Hong Kong Island.

Raymond mainly wants to make profits, so he is not an enemy.

Besides, if Fairchild Semiconductor chooses to sell lithography machines, then this news cannot be kept secret.

In this case, it is not a big deal for him, Raymond, to pass the news to China Resources in advance.

In Silicon Valley, Watson Jr., after negotiating with Noyce, determined the price of 30 million units, but he had to order three lithography machines to enjoy such a price.

Given the size of IBM, let alone three lithography machines, even four or five would be no problem.

However, this is not a small sum of money, and at the same time, China Resources has not made any move yet, so of course Watson must be cautious.

On the Federal West German side, Siemens also received information traveling across the Atlantic.

Upon learning that Fairchild Semiconductor had developed a photolithography machine, President Felix and their company's technical director Eichendorf both looked slumped.

Good guy, everyone is almost starting from the same starting point. How come Fairchild Semiconductor is the first company to break through the deadlock?

This is unreasonable!

No matter whether it is reasonable or not, you still have to accept the facts and think about how to deal with the next challenges.

After all, they knew without thinking that after China Resources learned the news, they would definitely take action.

Hong Kong Island, General Manager Office of China Resources Corporation.

Liu Guanzhong received the news, but he was not in a hurry to send the news back to the capital.

Because the information they know now is very limited, they still have to wait.

Only after all the technical parameters of the lithography machine developed by Fairchild Semiconductor are known, and then the news is sent back to the capital, will this be useful news.

Within a few days, Liu Guanzhong had obtained an overview of the technical parameters of this photolithography machine and the chip manufacturing process.

After all, this information is not kept secret, so it is very simple to get the information.

After having these details, Liu Guanzhong did not hesitate and quickly sent people to spread the news back to the capital.

Wudaokou, Beijing, Zhenhua Research Institute.

Liang Sili and Xie Dingyi left happily.

They obtained a lot of technology, and even drones were plucked away like wool, and they took away two of them.

Of course, Liang Sili and the others gave them money, which was equivalent to the material money for making the drone.

This is definitely not free. After all, the Fifth Academy where they are located also has scientific research funds, so the money can definitely be spent.

As for technology, it’s free.

Originally, they came to Zhenhua Research Institute to borrow people. Although they have not borrowed people now, they have also obtained technology, which is already very good.

There are definitely differences between missile engines and aircraft engines.

However, the technology Chen Guohua brought out was naturally part of the technology of missile engines, propulsion systems and control systems.

In fact, this part of the technology can already be seen in the previous spy pigeon.

However, the engine design of different aircraft will definitely be very different.

After watching Liang Sili and the others leave, Chen Guohua looked at Qiu Zongyue next to him and said:

"Leader, do you have anything else to do? If not, I will go to work."

"Are you so eager to drive me away?"

Qiu Zongyue made a joke, and then left Zhenhua Research Institute when Chen Guohua rolled his eyes.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Guohua had not received any news from North America, but the Zhenhua Research Institute had already produced a mini radio.

In the laboratory, the mini radio at this time already has a beautiful casing, but the casing is just put aside, and the main internal components are still undergoing final signal testing.

The radio in front of me all uses the current 'most advanced' chips.

A printed circuit board that is only the size of a baby's fist contains chips, transistor components, receivers, speaker circuits, etc.

After such a radio is manufactured, its urine and urine are only about the same as an adult's index finger.

Just like the first-generation cylinder-shaped MP3 in the history of time and space, it is really small and exquisite.

In other words, adults can hold it casually in their hands.

You can easily put it in your pocket and it won't take up any space.

Such a radio is much smaller than the Sony transistor radio developed by Sony in 1958.

Sony's TR610 radio is about the size of an average adult's open-fingered hand and sells for $ apiece.

Because before the TR610 came out, there were already many vacuum tube radios on the market.

Therefore, the competition in the radio market is actually very high.

Therefore, the price of the TR610 transistor radio launched by Sony is not high.

But its sales are very impressive.

At the beginning, Sony actually only produced 45,000 radios.

But after 1958, by the end of 1959, in just two years, they had sold more than 500,000 units.

As far as the current radio market is concerned, it is already very good to have such sales. However, with the economic development, in 1960, Sony sold more than 900,000 radios throughout the year.

Of course, it also has a lot to do with their Sony company lowering the price to fifty-five yuan and ninety-five cents.

What affects the sales of radios is not just the price factor, but also whether its signal is stable enough.

Chen Guohua also worked hard to develop this radio.

In his previous life, he still remembered that when he was in high school, he bought a boxy radio in an ordinary stationery store in the county town.

It cost five yuan at that time, and his monthly living expenses at that time was two hundred yuan.

Although he lived a very tight life, the price of five yuan still made him very excited.

Such a radio is only about the length and width of the later MP4, and a little thicker, about the length of an adult's index finger.

It was such a small and exquisite radio that Chen Guohua could not put it down after buying it back.

I listen to it every day during my lunch break.

But the good times didn't last long, and the radio was finally confiscated by the teacher.

Yes, a high school student’s radio was confiscated by his teacher.

For this reason, Chen Guohua was depressed and annoyed for a long time. After all, he bought it for five yuan.

The five yuan at that time was enough for his living expenses for a day and a half. Even if he saved a little more, it would be enough for a week's living expenses.

Because at that time, a box of canned dace with black bean sauce cost only three yuan, and a pack of pickled mustard cost 50 cents.

With these dishes and the fact that the rice is brought from home, it can be steamed and cooked directly in the cafeteria.

So a box of canned dace with black bean sauce and four packs of pickled mustard can last for seven days, no problem at all.

In his previous life, Chen Guohua spent a lot of money in pursuit of fashion in order to buy some sneakers, novels, radios, posters, etc.

"Test the impact of glass, clothes and other obstructions on the signal. Simulate the user usage scenario."

In the laboratory, Chen Guohua was working with everyone to calibrate and test the signal of this radio.

That radio in my previous life could receive signals smoothly without the need for an antenna. Moreover, I could listen to it in my bedroom, and the signal was very stable.

Therefore, today's Chen Guohua will take this into consideration.

Especially some consumers, they are likely to drive in the basement or other usage scenarios.

Some usage scenarios have a very large impact on the signal.

What Chen Guohua needs to do is to strengthen the signal and make this radio more competitive in the market.

Other than that it’s headphones.

The TR610 radio launched by Sony a few years ago comes with a leather case, battery and headphones.

Chen Guohua also tried headphones. To him, they were just shoddy products.

What Chen Guohua wants is headphones with better sound quality.

The most important thing is that the cost must be low enough.

The wage level here in the mainland is very low, so in terms of cost, the cost of this radio and supporting accessories such as headphones and batteries is not very high.

Anyway, it is definitely within Chen Guohua's acceptance range.

The key is how to convince Qiu Zongyue and the others to build such a large factory.

There is no way. The battery assembly line of the Yao Ling Zero factory must be expanded. In addition, a headphone production line needs to be built, as well as a radio casing production line, a circuit printed board production line, other component production lines, etc.

All these spare parts added together are quite a lot.

This means that the investment will be relatively large. After all, just recruiting technical workers requires at least several hundred people.

Soon, after testing, it was found that as long as it was not in such an extreme environment on the second underground floor, the signal should not be a problem.

There shouldn’t be people abroad who often hang out in places like the second underground floor, right?

Consumers who are willing to spend money to buy electronic products that are full of entertainment properties such as radios are not in poor condition.

Chen Guohua is still targeting the two major markets of North America and Tokyo. As for Europe, we will talk about it at that time.

Just after Chen Guohua completed the radio signal detection, Qiu Zongyue was already waiting at the door.

"Leader, come in quickly and I'll show you something good."

Seeing the leader coming, Chen Guohua waved happily.

As he spoke, he waved to everyone to assemble the radio and demonstrate it to the leader later.

After a while, Qiu Zongyue, who had changed into protective clothing and came in, couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the beautiful radio in Chen Guohua's hand.

"Leader, please put on the headphones and try it out to see how the radio just developed in our laboratory is like."

Not to mention anything else, just from the appearance, you know it is great.

Unlike Sony, which likes to create colorful and strange designs, Chen Guohua only designed radios in two colors.

One is white and the other is black.

Moreover, these products are all made of metal, and they want high-end luxury enjoyment in order to increase the selling price.

Of course, it also depends on market acceptance. If it doesn't work, just redesign it.

Qiu Zongyue listened to the sound coming from the headphones. It was really smooth and the sound quality was very good.

In an instant, he was shocked for a long time.

Hey guys, is this really a radio?

"Guohua, how can the radio you mentioned be made so small? And the workmanship is so exquisite and cute?"

His eyes widened as he looked at the small and exquisite radio in his hand, and Qiu Zongyue's mouth suddenly opened wide.

The radio he was holding in his hand at this moment happened to be a radio with a strong white metal texture.

With extremely enjoyable sound quality and smooth and stable signal, this radio is just the size of a finger. It is simply an epoch-making product.

You know, Qiu Zongyue also has a radio at home, but the antique one is very large and was made thirty years ago.

The Panda brand radios produced by Jinling Radio Factory are not produced in large quantities, and the prices are still very expensive.

The price is six hundred and forty yuan!

The TR610 radio sold by Sony is only yuan and cents, which is equivalent to yuan and cents in RMB.

There is a lot of difference between the two.

Even though this Panda brand floor-standing machine is a cash register, electronic singing and recording machine, the price is really too expensive.

It stands to reason that the labor cost in the mainland is not high, so the price should not be that expensive.

After all, the price of 640 yuan also means that the cost needs to be around 500 yuan.

In fact, the technology and craftsmanship of such Panda brand machines are not up to standard and cannot be mass-produced on a large scale.

Secondly, raw materials and equipment are also very expensive, which leads to such high costs.

"Boss, this radio needs to be exported abroad, so it will definitely have to compete with foreign radios."

After hearing Qiu Zongyue's words, Chen Guohua suddenly said with a smile:

"If foreign technology hadn't been advanced enough, I could have continued to reduce its size."

"Of course, the current size is actually enough. As long as it can stand out among many radios, then it will be no problem."

"By the way, leader, you can continue to adjust different channels. You don't need to worry about signal failure."

After Qiu Zongyue had finished listening, Chen Guohua asked with a smile:

"Boss, how much do you think a radio like mine should cost? Can it make our China Resources Company make a lot of money?"

When the former heard this, he immediately began to ponder.

He doesn't know much about the foreign radio market, but in January, Chen Guohua had already arranged this year's project.

Therefore, he also ordered China Resources to collect a lot of intelligence about the international radio market.

As it stands now, vacuum tube radios, the big radios, they're on the decline.

In the past 60 and 61 years, sales of these vacuum tube radios have plummeted.

In other words, there are not many sales left.

Currently, there is only one Sony TR610 transistor radio dominating the market.

However, the TR610 radio also showed weakness, after all, aesthetic fatigue.

This thing has been on the market for several years, but there has been no progress.

"How much does it cost us to produce a radio like this?"

After pondering for a moment, Qiu Zongyue asked.

Chen Guohua shook his head and said:

"The current material cost for a radio should be fifteen yuan."

"If mass production is carried out, the cost can continue to decrease."

The most expensive parts in the entire radio are the chip and metal casing.

The chip was manufactured using the first-generation projection lithography machine, with only two hundred chips built into it.

As everyone knows, the radio currently developed by Chen Guohua uses digital signal processing technology and directly uses software programming to realize various functions of the radio on a universal programmable hardware platform.

Such a radio includes reception, IF processing, etc., no need for debugging, and the consistency is very good.

Coupled with the enhanced signal, this radio is so small.

Therefore, the chip cost will be relatively expensive.

But the projection lithography machine was first developed by Chen Guohua. Now the cost of manufacturing such a lithography machine is very low.

This is not the point. The point is that Zhenhua Research Institute rarely uses such 'antique' level photolithography machines.

Another major cost factor is the metal casing.

However, the entire shell is only about the thickness of an adult's finger.

Such a shell does not use much alloy.

Yes, the metal casing of the radio is made of alloy, not ordinary iron or copper.

In fact, the Jingcheng Plastic Factory has also produced a new type of plastic, and the technology was provided by Chen Guohua.

But their costs have not been reduced yet, so after comprehensive consideration, Chen Guohua felt that it would be better to use a metal alloy casing.

It is this that can drive the development of the Beijing Steel Plant.

After hearing Chen Guohua's words, Qiu Zongyue couldn't help but nodded and said:

"So, including labor, the cost of a radio is at least twenty yuan, right?"

The former nodded and said:

"About that. It's hard to budget now, but overall it should be around 18 to 22 yuan."

No matter how much the cost of raw materials is reduced, it cannot be reduced any further.

The labor cost depends on the production efficiency of skilled workers, so for now, we can only have a rough estimate.

"Then we also sell it for forty-nine dollars?"

Qiu Zongyue immediately asked tentatively. Chen Guohua heard this and said:

"This price is about right, but I don't know if my friends are willing to agree to it?"

Soon, Qiu Zongyue continued:

"But this time we may not only need to sell these goods, but also import raw materials such as iron ore and crude oil from abroad. Do you think it is possible to connect those North American businessmen?"

Chen Guohua is not optimistic about this.

Production materials such as iron ore and crude oil are in short supply all over the world.

Moreover, in Europe and the United States, the current blockade restrictions have not actually been lifted.

It's just that people interact very frequently.

The reason why such a strange situation occurs has a lot to do with what Helu did before.

Nowadays, the East has no one to rely on.

Kennedy hoped to win the friendship of the East, but there was no suitable opportunity.

At this time, Kennedy was still very complicated.

While one wants to get closer to the East, the other is afraid that the East will rise too quickly.

There is nothing much to say about the former, but the latter is still based on the outstanding performance of China Resources in the past year or two, which makes Kennedy feel angry and helpless.

If Kennedy really emphasizes clearly again that companies such as Cray and IBM should not cooperate with China Resources.

Then these companies will definitely not blatantly violate the order.

But this is undoubtedly pushing the East further. Kennedy still wants to gain others' friendship?

Isn’t this a daydream?

On the other hand, after companies like IBM are banned, on Hong Kong Island, China Resources will definitely continue to sell Huayue calculators and so on.

And second-tier dealers like Howard and Coverdale, and even businessmen such as Southeast Asian businessman Da Kun, will definitely take risks to bring these products back to Tokyo, North America, Europe and other markets for sale.

After all, people and money die, and birds die for food. Howard and the others must be very happy to do such risky work.

As for IBM, they could only stare. After all, they were large and their goals were too big to withstand Kennedy's gaze.

As a result, the profits that originally belonged to IBM will be robbed by second-tier dealers like Howard.

When the time comes, the capital behind IBM will definitely talk to Kennedy.

This is why the current strange situation has emerged.

Now in 1962, whether it is IBM or Cray, if it is profitable, they will definitely not mind cooperating with China Resources.

However, if Raymond and Watson were asked to help bridge the gap and purchase raw materials for iron ore and crude oil, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that simple.

The year before last and the year before last, the reason why China Resources was able to purchase grain was because of the bumper grain harvest abroad.

For example, several grain companies in Maple Leaf Country had a bumper harvest in their grain production in the past two years.

In the year 1960, when Hamilton of Maple Leaf Country had just become a cadre, he immediately faced an urgent need to solve a major problem encountered by his predecessor:

Since 1950, the Maple Leaf Country has produced a large amount of surplus grain, which has seriously affected the economy and lives of their native residents.

Based on this situation, Hamilton directly ignored the North American blockade ban.

Committed to opening up the vast market in the East.

After all, in the 1960s, the most populous country in the world was none other than the East.

With such a large population, a lot of food must be needed.

So, after some contact and consultation, Hamilton and Liu Guanzhong hit it off.

The East is in urgent need of a large amount of food, so the two sides can naturally reach a cooperation agreement.

At the beginning of 2001, China Resources purchased millions of tons of grain from Hamilton.

Subsequently, a lot of grain was purchased one after another.

And just this year, Piedo Trudeau is preparing to go to Hong Kong Island.

But none of this allows China Resources to purchase production materials such as iron ore and crude oil from foreign countries.

Seeing that Chen Guohua remained silent, Qiu Zongyue couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, the debt was almost paid off, but problems followed.

That is, there is currently a shortage of raw materials such as iron ore and crude oil.

If we do not import, it will still be difficult to supply simply relying on domestic production and sales.

In fact, many oil fields have been discovered and excavated one after another, but due to the lack of advanced technology, equipment, and skilled workers.

Therefore, mining is very difficult and production cannot be increased.

In the face of rising demand, especially last year when industries such as Huayue calculators and supercomputers began to exert their efforts, the demand for these raw materials will of course increase dramatically.

As we all know, the production of electronic products such as calculators requires a lot of equipment.

Therefore, the demand for raw materials and energy will of course increase exponentially.

However, these cannot be saved or saved.

How can it be so simple to have a big event that affects the whole body?

You know, if Zhenhua Research Institute hadn't helped develop the supercomputer and earned more than 2 billion US dollars in foreign exchange.

How could an atomic bomb explode so quickly? How is it possible to pay off debt so quickly?

Nowadays, four projects are launched at the same time, with at least one billion yuan invested every year, or even more.

Only in this way can hydrogen bombs, missiles, nuclear submarines and artificial satellites be developed faster.

In today's era, only if it is equipped with these, can it be considered a real big country and will not be bullied by others.

You will feel more confident when speaking to others.

Seeing the other party sighing, Chen Guohua couldn't help but smile and comforted:

"Leader, there is no need to sigh. We all know that difficulties are only temporary. Maybe we have other solutions?" (End of Chapter)
