The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

May 1, 1962, Labor Day, today is a day off.

Chen Guohua took his two children, Chen Wei and Chen Si, to hang out in Xiangshan Park.

The wind in May is extremely cool, neither cold nor hot, and feels very comfortable when it blows over me.

Wearing a military green outfit modified by his grandmother, the child Chen Wei walked unsteadily and babbling from time to time.

The little mouth talks all the time and never stops.

On weekdays, he spends the most time with Hu Pinggu, Yun Wanshang, and Gan Rushuang, so the few words he knows the most are to say hello.

The most common greeting in Jingcheng dialect is "Uncle, aunt, have you eaten?"

And the little guy is very good at this, which sounds very funny.

His sister is about to turn one year old, and she especially likes to babbling and saying "baby talk" at this time, which is also very cute.

Chen Guohua and Yu Moli taught their two siblings mathematics, names of medicinal materials, etc. from time to time. As a result, the child Chen Si first learned the numbers one, two, three, four, and five instead of calling mom and dad.

Both brothers and sisters are very smart. They learned to call mom and dad and learn to speak much earlier than ordinary children.

In fact, children are like this. They need someone to guide them regularly, teach them how to speak, and at the same time encourage them frequently.

Don't think that children who are only a few months old or one or two years old cannot understand whether adults are scolding or encouraging them. No, they can understand.

Children are very sensitive to these. Whether children can learn something earlier actually has a lot to do with their parents and family environment.

"What is this? This is a pine tree."

In front, Chen Gonglu, who was holding Chen Wei, pointed to a pine tree and started teaching.

The little kid looked at it with wide eyes, as if he didn't quite understand, but he seemed to understand.

Next to them, Yu Moli, Chen Guohua, Yun Wanshang, and Hu Pinggu were all watching with smiles.

Chen Xiaoyue and the other three sisters were hanging around the child Chen Si.

It's a holiday today, and the whole family came out to hang out and relax.

On the side, Chen Guiying and Wei Yumin's family were also there, as were Chen Lihua and Gui Zhiting.

A few months later, everything has changed.

Gui Zhiting's grandmother had been away for five months. On Qingming Festival, he went to visit the graves of his relatives, and his eyes were swollen from crying.

When they came back for dinner that day, Yun Wanshang even scolded Chen Lihua, mistakenly thinking that the latter was bullying Gui Zhiting again.

This made Chen Lihua feel aggrieved. It was obvious that he missed his relatives. He cried so sadly, as if she was not his relatives.

After all, they were already married, and they were crying so hard in front of her.

She was even scolded by her biological mother. Chen Lihua was really wronged at that time.

This incident was quite funny. Chen Guohua didn't expect that Chen Lihua's temperament would be like this.

However, Gui Zhiting is indeed the kind of person who loves his wife more in life. It is probably because he has no relatives anymore, so he cherishes and cares for his family more.

She just let Chen Lihua show her temper.

Fortunately, Yun Wanchang protected Gui Zhiting and did not let Chen Lihua bully him.

Because of this, the couple often come to Cuihua Hutong for dinner parties, as if the daughter is married but not married.

In fact, the two daughters are almost the same, and Chen Guiying goes home often.

There are many rooms in the house, so we specially reserved rooms for the two of them.

Both Chen Gonglu and Yun Wanshang are older people, so they like the excitement more.

During times like holidays, the whole family often goes out together.

This time when we came to Xiangshan Park, it was Chen Guohua who called Yin Menglun and Ma Mingwei to help drive. Otherwise, there would be so many people in the family that it would be impossible for them all to come.

In fact, Chen Guohua didn't use the bus very often. Once or twice, Yun Wanshang and the others took the bus there most of the time.

Otherwise, Chen Guohua and his family can just go there by themselves. If that doesn't work, they can send Chen Xiaoyue and others first, and then Chen Guohua and others.

Labor Day passed very quickly.

Returning to normal working hours in the blink of an eye, Qiu Zongyue came over again.

There was no delay in spring plowing this year, and the winter wheat harvest has been calculated. The results are very gratifying.

It can be said that this is the first real bumper harvest in 59 years.

In the director's office, Chen Guohua was shocked after hearing Qiu Zongyue's words:

"Boss, are you saying that the calculator they copied from IBM exploded? And it made the news?"

To be honest, this news is indeed a bit unbelievable to Chen Guohua.

He hadn't even taken action yet, but IBM itself was defeated by its opponent first.

So interesting.

Qiu Zongyue was dancing with joy at this time and said with great joy:

"It's not good. When I learned the news, I laughed for a long time."

"That Raymond from Cray Company is really interesting. He actually seized this opportunity and let the news quickly ferment. In almost two days, all IBM calculators were removed from the shelves."

"It directly affected their sales in the European market, and also caused a lot of Cray's Huayue calculators to be sold quickly."

There is a saying that there is no harm without comparison.

IBM's calculator can actually explode, which is breaking news.

Compared with Huayue Calculator, there has not been any negative news since it was sold in September last year.

As a result, IBM's calculators were temporarily depopulated and no one cared about them.

Anyway, it's quite miserable and embarrassing.

However, Watson Jr. will definitely regroup and will not give in so easily.

At this time, in the European market, Stewalk and Siemens were also selling 100,000 calculators each.

Cray's remaining tens of thousands of calculators are also about to be sold out.

No, Cray Company contacted China Resources again and asked if the Huayue calculator could be sold at a reduced price?

If possible, Cray will continue to order.

Liu Guanzhong was unsure, and Qiu Zongyue was even more decisive and directly asked the question to Chen Guohua.

The latter pondered for a moment and then said directly:

"Leader, let's lower the price directly and take advantage of this opportunity to quickly occupy the market."

"We ship to companies like Clay Company at a price of US$499. As for their own prices, they cannot exceed US$599."

"In other words, we must set their selling prices and use large promotions to increase sales across the board."

"If IBM regains its strength and makes a comeback, we will make a second price reduction. At the same time, we also ensure that Cray's unsold goods can be reduced at the same time."

Specifically, how to ensure that Cray's unsold goods are directly controlled by the shipping speed.

For example, the Yao Ling Zero factory currently produces 10,000 calculators. After they are delivered to Clay Company, they will be considered sold.

Now, as before, we no longer have to wait for shipments of 50,000 or 100,000 units to be transported together.

At the current speed of information transmission, if you want to transmit it to North America, Europe and other places faster, it will definitely not be very slow.

What's more, the price reduction is controlled by China Resources, and Clay Company has a certain degree of initiative.

After listening to Chen Guohua's words, Qiu Zongyue couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

So according to this strategy, IBM will definitely suffer this wave.

"By the way, we also received news that IBM is also planning to imitate our radio, but they don't seem to be able to imitate it."

After listening to Qiu Zongyue's words, Chen Guohua suddenly smiled:

"This is indeed a bit difficult. I just don't know how long we can stop them? Or will they come up with products of lower quality?"

No matter what, this matter is nothing to Chen Guohua.

It can be blocked for a while, but it cannot be blocked for a long time.

But it only takes half a year or about a year for Huaxin Radio to reap huge profits.

When IBM is able to bring down costs, China Resources will definitely continue to cut prices.

"By the way, Sony hasn't responded yet?"

Suddenly, Chen Guohua thought of something and asked.

Qiu Zongyue shook his head and said:

"There is indeed no news from China Resources. The price of Sony's TR610 radio has not changed much. Even Yumon Saburo has not come to see Koyanagi."

Chen Guohua nodded and said nothing more.

Sony is probably holding back a big move, right?

However, no matter what big moves they tried, it was of no use. Huaxin Radio was already in an invincible position.

Although at this time, Chen Guohua has not yet come up with emasculated computers, emasculated digital cameras, game arcades, pagers and other products, once these are released, neither Sony nor IBM will be able to stop them.

Chen Guohua, who pursues perfection, only considers two things at this time.

One is how to turn more technologies into real objects, and the other is how to make the most money with the least amount of technology.

Huaxin Radio is almost the ceiling of this type of product.

It is definitely unrealistic to continue to innovate its technology, products, etc.

Chen Guohua believes that price reduction is the most realistic option.

It is to reduce the cost of various parts and components, and then lower the selling price. Only in this way, more people can afford it.

This is small profits but quick turnover.

If you want to continue research and development, it won't be radios, but other products.

Moscow, Kremlin.

Lermontov also left the intelligence department, and now the person who heads this department is named Andrei Gromyko.

As the saying goes, there is one emperor and one courtier.

The era of Helu is over. Even if Lermontov wants to continue to be loyal to Brezhnev, that won't work.

They also have subordinates they trust. Of course, they want to support their own team members to rise to the top, rather than letting Lermontov continue to occupy this position.

At this time, Andrei was reporting to Brezhnev in the office.

After Andrei Gromyko finished his report, Brezhnev suddenly called him over.

"Is there any way you can kill Kennedy?"

The former was suddenly shocked, but on the surface there was no flaw at all, and he still said respectfully:

"Yes, I have had three plans before this. I have contacted John Connally, the representative of the conservatives in the southern North America."

Kennedy had quite a conflict with southern Texas conservatives.

In the original history of time and space, he was riding through Dealey Plaza in a convertible with John Connally.

Got shot at.

He was then sent to the hospital for treatment, but his injuries were too severe. Doctors pronounced him dead more than two hours later.

After that, Lyndon Johnson, the then deputy squad president, took over the position of full squad president.

And Lyndon Johnson was a Texan.

Interesting, right?

very interesting!

Therefore, Brezhnev suddenly became very happy when he heard Andrei's words.

"Well, you will take full responsibility for this matter. I need to let the whole world know that anyone who goes against me will die a good death."

As a person who advocates hegemony, Brezhnev is very powerful externally.

And Kennedy was his number one enemy.

Ever since Brezhnev became squad leader, some things have become inevitable.

In the past six months or so, Brezhnev has often encountered various constraints.

Therefore, on the one hand, he settled various intricate relationships within Moscow, and on the other hand, he actively engaged in external affairs and frequently made small moves.

If he hadn't just become the squad leader, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to be too aggressive in case the other deputy squad leaders would be dissatisfied with him.

Otherwise, he would have started making big moves long ago.

Like Heru and others, almost everyone who becomes a squad leader will have the idea of ​​'excluding dissidents'.

And he will also take action.

As long as there is a chance, he will never let his opponent go.

Andrei Gromyko nodded in agreement, but Brezhnev warned him again and again.

Because this matter is very important, it is a gift that Brezhnev wants to give to Kennedy, and it must not fail.

Of course Andrei Gromyko nodded in agreement and said there was no problem.

After confirming this matter, Brezhnev said:

"By the way, isn't there anything we can do in the capital?"

"Comrade Secretary, there is nothing we can do for the time being." Andrei Gromyko suddenly shook his head and said:

"Originally, I contacted someone to contact Wanioko, who had a PhD in mathematics and went to Beijing three years ago, but this person made no progress and had no experience."

"At the same time, we asked Vanioco to try to persuade Chen Guohua to go to Stockholm to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians, but the latter ignored it at all."

"Even Chen Guohua had already explained the matter in advance in March and asked Erdez to help lead the Fields Medal if there was a possibility of winning it."

When Brezhnev heard this, his eyes flashed fiercely and he said:

"So is it really possible that he will win?"

Even Brezhnev had heard of the Fields Medal. After all, there were many mathematicians in Moscow, and he had dealt with these mathematicians, so of course he had heard of the Fields Medal.

Maybe Brezhnev didn't quite understand the chain of contempt in the scientific field.

But he definitely knew something about the Nobel Prize in mathematics.

If Chen Guohua is likely to win this award, it will definitely be a very beneficial thing for Beijing.

"Comrade Secretary, we can only say that it is indeed very possible."

Andrei Gromyko said in a deep voice.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that this award was completely certain.

There is no way, who asked Chen Guohua to prove the Poincaré conjecture with his own hands?

You know, Gelfand, Alexandrov and other Moscow mathematicians once said that at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1962, if Chen Guohua’s name was not included in the Fields Medal, it would be absolutely impossible. It's unfair.

There was definitely interference from others.

Mathematics is pure and should not be subject to outside interference.

Even Gelfand, one of the leaders of contemporary mathematics in Moscow, said this, and certainly others.

However, there are also many people in foreign countries who support Chen Guohua, such as Bertrand Russell in Great Britain, Chen Shengshen and Veblen in North America.

When Brezhnev heard this, his expression suddenly turned slightly ugly.

Because of the atomic bomb that exploded in Lop Nur last year, Chen Guohua's contribution was definitely very large.

Many people may not know it, but many people in Moscow know that Chen Guohua developed many supercomputers.

And these computers can help recommend the research speed of the mushroom egg project.

At the same time, Chen Guohua also used his own mathematical abilities to help solve many mathematical problems encountered in the development process of atomic bomb projects.

Such people were the people Brezhnev wanted to kill most.

Of course, if Chen Guohua is willing to come to Moscow, Brezhnev will certainly welcome him and will spare the former's life.

It's a pity that the other party didn't come, and neither of them wanted to go abroad.

It was like a dog biting a tortoise, leaving him nowhere to bite and making him very uncomfortable.

Brezhnev couldn't think of a better way, and the same could be said for Andrei, but this matter had to be done. It was impossible for Chen Guohua to stay quietly in the capital doing scientific research.

That's absolutely impossible!

In May, the warm wind of early summer blew, and a whirlwind of radios also blew across the European continent.

After Huaxin Radio was brought to Europe by Toshiba Company, it was the first to land in the romantic city of Paris.

Gallic chickens can't resist the small, exquisite and extremely fashionable Hua Hin radio.

Many people simply abandoned Sony's TR610 radio and replaced it with Huaxin radio.

The metallic appearance makes people fall in love with it. Although there are only two color options: black and white, no matter it is black or white, people like it very much.

In addition, the high-quality headphones and strong and stable signal make consumers feel like they have found a treasure.

Starting in Paris, the whirlwind slowly evolved into a tornado.

Therefore, people who pursue fashion want to own such a small, cute and high-quality radio.

Faced with the fact that the goods were sold out in a very short time, Toshiba was extremely surprised and took no time to send the news back to Hong Kong Island and notified Taro Jono to rush for the goods.

If such a product doesn't spread across the entire market as soon as possible, I'm afraid someone will come to compete for it.

You must know that Huayue Calculator is like this, and it has caused a lot of trouble now. A calculator copied by IBM exploded due to poor quality, which was exposed by the media.

It is now known to the whole world.

After Siemens saw this news, it suddenly dawned on them, so Felix, the president of their company, notified Eichendorff to imitate it quickly!

Previously, in April, their Siemens company purchased Huayue calculators from Hong Kong Island.

One hundred thousand units in total!

Siemens also made millions of dollars through the shareholder wind triggered by Cray Company.

Even though he was a second-rate dealer, in front of millions of dollars, Felix said: It smells so good!

So now that IBM is leading the charge, Siemens is also rushing to imitate the calculator and try to make some money.

Eichendorf had no choice but to seize the time to design and develop.

Most of the functions of a palm-sized calculator must be concentrated on the microprocessor, and components such as controllers must be reduced. This is not a small project.

Fortunately, calculators and computers are actually not that different.

It can even be said that the calculator is actually a castrated version of the computer.

So Siemens has begun vigorous research and development work.

Coincidentally, Great Britain's Stewalk Company, Gallic Chicken's Thomson Company, and Italy's National Microelectronics Company all began to prepare for copy and paste.

Faced with such huge profit margins, wouldn't they deserve to be struck by lightning if they missed out on this overwhelming wealth?

IBM took the lead in ignoring patents, so it’s normal for others to follow suit, right?

Besides, isn’t there an old saying in China: The law does not punish the public!

Can China Resources still manage so many companies?

Just when many hungry wolves followed suit and wanted to get a share of the calculator field, Moscow, far away from the European continent, also discovered this.

The newly appointed Andrei Gromyko, even though he has gone to North America, is still thinking about things in Europe.

To this end, he personally sent a telegram to Brezhnev detailing the situation in Europe.

Of course Brezhnev knew about this, and he had already arrived in Semiconductor City at this time.

At this moment, in the semiconductor factory, director Serante, researcher Osokin, Staros, Borg and other technical experts are all present.

Next to First Vice Chairman of the Naval War Radio-Electronics Committee Alexander Shokin, as well as other leaders of the semiconductor industry.

"Comrade Secretary, this is the calculator we developed."

Osokin showed Brezhnev the latest product of their R&D team with an expressionless face.

They have not yet made a breakthrough in technologies such as proximity lithography machines, and it still takes time.

After all, they are not in North America. They do not have the help of top scientific research teams like Bell Labs, nor the assistance of other top optical instrument laboratories.

Therefore, if you want to complete the research and development of photolithography machines, you still need to wait.

This means that the cost of the calculator they copied at this time is still very high, almost twice the cost of the calculator copied by IBM.

The cost of IBM's imitation calculator is US$310, which is not very low.

The most important thing is the cost of chip engineers, photolithography machines, etc., plus other labor costs are also not low.

This is why in the 1970s and 1980s, these European and American industries were gradually transferred to Tokyo, Bay Island and other places.

The cost has exceeded 600 US dollars. Even so high, it failed to dispel Brezhnev's ambition.

He immediately ordered the semiconductor factory to seize the time to mass-produce it and sell it in the name of other companies in Europe, Hong Kong Island and other places.

Osokin couldn't persuade him at all, and neither could Alexander Shokin.

This matter has been decided and cannot be changed.

Brezhnev's hegemony is reflected here. Once a matter is decided, others can no longer persuade him.

He had just become the squad leader, and no one dared to persuade him.

So Moscow's strong industrial strength was demonstrated at this moment.

Skilled workers were summoned for technical training in a very short period of time, and then the production of calculators began.

That is when IBM's calculators suffered a heavy setback, Moscow's calculators also entered the market.

As the president of Cray, Raymond always keeps an eye on the market.

Less than a week after the imitation calculator in Moscow entered the market, Raymond knew about it.

So the news was sent back to Hong Kong Island.

Liu Guanzhong was also shocked when he learned the news.

I didn’t expect that Moscow had been silent for so long and actually held back such a big move?

Chen Guohua in the capital, after listening to Qiu Zongyue's account, immediately suggested speeding up the distribution of goods so that the previous price reduction could be implemented quickly.

According to his previous suggestion, the shipping price of China Resources Company is US$499, and other companies such as Clay Company, if they still want to get the goods, will pay this price.

And their price is only $599.

If the price exceeds this price, then there will be no hope of cooperating with China Resources. Then they will personally take the goods to the European and American markets for sale.

Howard happened to be on Hong Kong Island, preparing to place another order for diapers for the North American market and diapers for the European market in the second half of the year.

In comparison, diapers in the European market are not so popular.

However, five million diapers were sold at a rate of 80% in North America.

Therefore, of course Howard had to come early to prepare.

When he learned about the price reduction of calculators, Howard didn't think much and immediately ordered 100,000 units.

Now that Howard is rich, he doesn't need to discuss this matter with Coverdale, the wolf of Wall Street.

Anyway, calculators are not part of the business of Howard Diaper Company, so Howard purchased the calculator with peace of mind and immediately shipped the goods back to Europe.

When European citizens saw it, they saw that it was a Huayue calculator, and the price was only US$599.

They were immediately overjoyed, and many people directly paid for them.

The replica calculator in Moscow was originally priced at US$1,200, but it attracted many consumers.

Many people still don’t pay much attention to the brand. They only confirm whether the product is easy to use and suitable for them.

Therefore, a lot of Moscow's imitation calculators were sold.

But the good times didn't last long, and they were impacted by the 100,000 calculator that Howard brought over.

The price of US$599 is directly cut in half from the price of US$1,200.

Such a ruthless bargaining immediately made the salesperson in Moscow feel chilled.

The news quickly spread back to Moscow. When Brezhnev learned the news, his face was full of gloom.

He was very angry and the consequences were serious.

Such a fast response and such a fierce bargaining are definitely counterattacks from China Resources.

And before Howard's 100,000 calculators were sold out, Cray also entered the European market with 100,000 calculators.

For a time, the European calculator market throughout May was filled with smoke.

With a monthly output of 300,000 calculators at Yao Ling Zero Factory, China Resources Corporation ships as many units as it produces.

Therefore, under such an offensive, whether it is the semiconductor factory in Moscow or the IBM company in North America, their calculators are losing ground.

The first to exit the market was Moscow.

There was no way, the selling price of US$599 had already fallen below their cost price.

IBM can still sustain it for a while because their cost price is US$310.

But Watson also knew that the calculator market was undercurrent, so he forced Winkelmann to wait for management fees and seize the time to find ways to reduce costs.

However, costs are basically fixed.

For example, the cost of three photolithography machines is US$90 million.

There are also chip engineers. When faced with the list, Watson has nowhere to start.

They also want to reduce costs through layoffs.

"There is a production supervisor at Texas Instruments who is very good. Otherwise, we can consider hiring him."

At this time, sales department manager Macefield suggested:

"As far as I know, in the previous chip production factory, Zhang Zhongmou increased the production efficiency of the Texas Instruments factory by 20% in just half a year."

"Because of this, Zhang Zhongmou was promoted to become the manager of the company's production department."

"In recent times, Zhang Zhongmou has proposed a very interesting idea, but it has not been approved by the senior management. If we extend an olive branch at this time, he may change jobs."

When Little Watson heard this, he waved his hand directly and dug it back for me!

Following Watson's words, top talents in North America's semiconductor and computer industries all received letters from IBM.

Even many talents were personally persuaded by Masefield to join IBM.

Obviously, faced with the temptation of high salary and the lack of attention at Texas Instruments, Zhang Zhongmou changed jobs.

If Chen Guohua knew this, he would be more or less shocked.

As everyone knows, Zhang Zhongmou is still very capable.

In the history of the original time and space, this person stayed at Texas Instruments until he felt that it was not interesting anymore and resigned to stay at home.

Because at that time he wanted to start a big thing specializing in chip foundries.

Zhang Zhongmou's idea is very simple. Chip manufacturing and chip design are just like a printing factory and writing articles. They are two different things.

He wants to build a chip foundry, similar to a printing factory. He can bring many articles written by authors to the printing factory and print them directly.

This is a professional person doing professional things.

But this idea was completely different from the mainstream at the time.

If Zhang Zhongmou wants to do this, he must be the CEO of Texas Instruments, but it is obvious that he lost to others in the competition.

In fact, his own skin color has determined that he cannot be the CEO.

Therefore, Zhang Zhongmou felt a little depressed.

Before TSMC came out, the whole world didn't think the chip foundry model was feasible.

But the history of the original time and space illustrates this point. There is no problem with the chip foundry model at all.

However, in the original time and space, Zhang Zhongmou had never left Texas Instruments, but in this time and space, he was flapping the wings of Chen Guohua, the Amazon butterfly, to IBM.

Zhang Zhongmou, who entered IBM, was sued in court by Texas Instruments before he could even start work.

Non-compete agreement!

Although IBM will try its best to help, Zhang Zhongmou really can't help IBM until the lawsuit is settled.

Texas Instruments did not accept compensation from IBM and would not let Zhang Zhongmou go so easily.

It seems to be targeting Zhang Zhongmou, but in fact it is targeting IBM.

After all, if Texas Instruments wants to make a difference in the computer market, it is inevitable to move away from IBM.

So if there is such an opportunity, Texas Instruments will certainly not let it go.

Faced with such a sinkhole, little Watson could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Beijing, Zhenhua Research Institute.

At this time, Chen Guohua was busy testing a castrated version of a digital camera.

Just by loading an SLR camera with autofocus system components, its functions seem to have skyrocketed.

A SLR camera with three major components: reflector, pentaprism, and shutter unit, is even more handsome when tested.

The shutter unit component is a technology that has only made breakthroughs in recent times.

Therefore, Chen Guohua was already a little impatient.

Because after sitting on these parts, this camera has begun to take shape as the prototype of future digital cameras.

As we all know, the internal structure of a digital camera includes a motherboard, image processor, reflector, shutter unit, image sensor, pentaprism, aperture unit, autofocus system, etc.

Nowadays, a small part of the universal camera has been charged, and the motherboard, image processor, image sensor, aperture unit and other parts are left. By then, it will be able to form a formal digital SLR camera.

This is the technological product closest to the future era. Of course Chen Guohua likes it very much.

In addition to this main structure, Chen Guohua organized and arranged researchers from the optical instrument laboratory to begin developing various optical lenses.

Macro lenses, standard zoom lenses, wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lenses, tilt-shift lenses, fisheye lenses, reflective telephoto lenses, etc., these are the lenses that Chen Guohua wants to develop.

Then again, the researcher feels inadequate.

In March of this year, Feng Yue, Mei Lihua, and Wang Xueguo were assigned to various laboratories after completing all training and training in mid-to-early May.

As a result, as soon as the allocation was completed, Chen Guohua felt that there was not enough money again.

The more people there are, the more projects there will be.

A digital camera requires far more R&D personnel than expected.

In the director's office, Qiu Zongyue couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Chen Guohua's complaints:

"Didn't we just allocate 200 college students? Why are there not enough? Have you opened a few new projects?"

"No!" Chen Guohua blinked innocently:

"Leader, you also know that our digital camera project requires a lot of lenses. Only in this way can we stand out in the future product competition."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zongyue asked curiously, how many people were assigned to this project?

Seeing Chen Guohua raise three fingers, Qiu Zongyue breathed a sigh of relief:

"There are only more than thirty people. What are you afraid of?"

"Leaders are not more than 30 people, but more than 300 people."

"what?"

After hearing Chen Guohua's explanation, Qiu Zongyue stood up directly, his eyes widening.

Good guy, three hundred people are assigned to a digital camera project. You are not building a digital camera, you are building a tank or an atomic bomb.

Horror!

No wonder there are not enough researchers. More than 300 university student researchers are just for the digital camera project?

Qiu Zongyue said he couldn't understand this, so Chen Guohua explained it to him.

Qiu Zongyue was shocked again when he learned that there were so many subdivided small projects that needed to be developed.

Immediately, he smiled bitterly again and said twitchingly:

"Guohua, I'm not telling you, you are really a prodigal. Can't you stop temporarily for some scenes?"

"Leader, just like the current Huayue calculator, can you ask others not to copy our calculator? Maybe they will stop?"

Chen Guohua's words left Qiu Zongyue speechless.

In fact, he came here today just to talk to Chen Guohua about the changes in the North American market and the European market.

IBM wielded a huge hoe and wanted to poach talents from rival companies, but it aroused strong resistance from others.

As a result, IBM was burdened with more lawsuits at this time.

It can be said that there has never been a day when IBM's legal department has been so busy.

They are all so busy that their mouths are almost smoking, but there are no shortage of lawsuits.

The job of a lawyer should be the most respected profession in North America.

However, those are just ordinary people. For capitalists, lawyers are just hands that help them wipe their butts. How can there be so much resentment?

Some people want to resign, but more people want to join IBM.

Anyway, IBM has been very busy recently.

In addition to North America, there are Great Britain's Stewerk Company, Italian National Microelectronics Company, Thomson Company of Gallic Chicken and Siemens Company of Federal West Germany.

These companies saw that Moscow's imitation calculators had withdrawn from the market, but they were still fearless.

Profit drives people's hearts, and no one can remain calm in the face of such overwhelming wealth.

It is indeed impossible for them, capitalists, to stop, so Qiu Zongyue cannot blame Chen Guohua for starting so many projects.

Because of this, Qiu Zongyue didn't know what to say for a long time.

Fortunately, Chen Guohua changed the topic at this time.

"Boss, what are you doing here today?"

This sentence is very familiar. Qiu Zongyue has heard it countless times.

I get used to it every time, but this time it felt particularly jarring.

After all, as Chen Guohua's leader, he should be there to solve the other party's problems, but it turned out that was not the case.

Qiu Zongyue has habitually come over to ask Chen Guohua for his advice on many questions, but he himself has become a nod and a sounding board.

It feels like the existence of his own leader only has so much meaning.

What could happen to him?

PS: Thank you all for your enthusiasm, thank you! The Spring Festival travel season has begun. Everyone, have a safe journey home during the Chinese New Year. Drive slowly! (End of chapter)
