The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

December 1963, another winter.

In Cuihua Hutong, Chen Guohua got up from the bed, opened the window, and saw the silver outside through the glass window.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost six years since he traveled to this world.

Time is really worthless and it passes quickly.

The yard outside the window is covered with heavy snow and is very beautiful.

If it were in his previous life, Chen Guohua would definitely be very happy. After all, he had stayed in the warm and humid south for a long time and had rarely seen such beautiful snow scenery.

But now, he is immune to such snowy scenery.

Seeing snow every year, there is nothing to look forward to anymore.

There are even times when I really hate snowy days.

Because when it snows, the weather is very cold.

And it also requires clearing snow, which is particularly troublesome.

Be careful when you go out, because if you are not careful, you may slip on your foot and fall down!
"Brother, it's time to have breakfast. Quickly ask the sisters-in-law and others to get up and eat."

At the door, Chen Xiaomin ran over and happened to see Chen Guohua standing by the window, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Okay, we get it."

The weather is cold now, and even though the sky is still dark and gray, I still have to get up early to go to school and work.

On winter mornings, everyone doesn’t like to get up early, they just like a warm bed.

No, the two little guys, Chen Wei and Chen Si, were hiding in their mother's arms, unhappy.

When Yu Moli sleeps, he especially likes to hold people in his arms.

Chen Guohua is used to getting up early. After all, eight and a half hours of sleep per day is enough. Too much is not good.

So he got up early and just made room for the two brothers Chen Wei and Chen Si.

In addition, their father is a large heater. After Chen Guohua got up, the place where he slept was still very warm.

"Get up!"

After breakfast, Chen Guohua got in the car and returned to Zhenhua Research Institute.

It is now December, and the overall development work of the fighter is almost completed.

Based on Chen Guohua's technical design and the rapidly developing Zhenhua Research Institute, there were no surprises in the research and development of fighter jets.

"Lao An, Lao Meng, Lao Zhu, let's speed up and try to conduct a test flight of the entire fighter jet before the end of the middle of this month."

As soon as he entered the aerospace engine laboratory, Chen Guohua summoned An Wenchuan, Zhu Fanchang, Meng Dehai and other small project leaders for a small meeting.

Five months have passed since June when the fighter jet's engine began test runs.

During this time, six engines have been manufactured and all test runs have been completed.

Now we are waiting for the development of other parts of the fighter jet.

Once completed, the six engines can be assembled separately and will be assembled into three prototype fighter aircraft.

Why three prototype machines?
Naturally, from the beginning, Qiu Zongyue and the others had already told Chen Guohua that once the fighter jets were successfully developed, they would begin mass production and give priority to supplying troops.

From the engine test run, to the assembly of the prototype aircraft, to the test flight of the prototype aircraft, and the first flight test, this period of time takes at least two years.

Just this, two years is still the shortest time.

This means that it will take a year from the project establishment in early 2003 to the first flight test early next year.

It will take another year from first flight test to mass production.

Therefore, the three trial production machines were the result of Qiu Zongyue's discussion with his superiors.

Chen Guohua knew exactly why they were so anxious.

Even Chen Guohua knew very well that the first flight venue of these three trial aircraft would definitely not be in the capital, but in the northeast, southwest and northwest.

In other words, their destinations have been determined from the beginning.

"no problem!"

An Wenchuan and the others nodded solemnly, indicating that there was no problem.

Chen Guohua didn't talk nonsense. He just started work and led everyone into the busy work.

As we all know, the birth of a fighter jet must go through four stages: demonstration, design, trial production and test flight.

But the two fighters and bombers developed by Chen Guohua and others do not need to go through the first two stages at all.

The main reason is that the technical theory of the two aircraft produced by Chen Guohua is very mature, and the design drawings and parameters are also correct.

Secondly, Dai Xizhang and An Wenchuan were unable to discuss these technical issues with Chen Guohua. After all, the latter's fighter and bomber technologies were very advanced.

You know, the fighters and bombers that Chen Guohua brought out were directly comparable to the North American Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft and B58.

Let alone the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, the B58 strategic bomber was the most mainstream bomber in North America in the s.

Before the Valkyrie came out, this B-52 Stratofortress bomber was the only model among all North American strategic bombers at that time that could launch cruise missiles.

Dai Xizhang and the others didn't understand these two aircraft at all. How could they have a technical discussion with Chen Guohua?
Therefore, all Zhenhua Research Institute needs to do is only two processes: trial production and test flight!
Let’s not talk about trial production. From the beginning of the year to now, Chen Guohua has spent most of his time immersed in the aero-engine laboratory, completing this process.

After the trial production is over, it will be test flight.

Test flight, as the name suggests, is the process of conducting scientific research and product testing under real conditions. The test objects are a variety of aircraft, such as fighter jets, bombers, transport aircraft, helicopters, and special test and research aircraft.

Of course, the two fighters and bombers that Chen Guohua brought out are very mature in technology.

But one thing must be clear, that is, after this thing is manufactured, it still needs to go through a strict test flight process before it can fly into the sky.

Chen Guohua couldn't do anything that took human life seriously, and people like Dai Xizhang wouldn't agree to it either.

Naturally, when the technology is mature, the manufactured fighter jet will definitely be much easier and simpler than the trial production and test flight process of other aircraft.

Just because these aircraft are almost all manufactured under a 'standard'.

And this standard has gone through thousands of trials, and the technical parameters have long been fixed.

As we all know, the flight test process of early fighter aircraft was relatively simple and often consisted of designers, test pilots, and flight test engineers. The entire test flight process was completely "follow your feelings", and the test flight results were very unsubstantiated.

Therefore, whether it was World War II or the turbojet-6 engine developed by Liming Engine Manufacturing Factory before, the test run only lasted a hundred hours.

Therefore, during this period, a new aircraft only needs more than ten rounds of test flights before it can be finalized and put into production.

This is also the reason why Chen Guohua only gave a symbolic quota of 500 hours when the fighter engine was tested in June.

After all, all the parts of this fighter jet are manufactured according to the technical parameters within the framework of the drawings he designed. As long as there are no problems with the raw material process, riveting process, etc. from the very beginning, nothing else will What's the big deal.

The most critical thing is the engineers who manufacture these parts. Whether their technology is good or not.

In the history of time and space, modern fighter aircraft have complex structures, including dozens of subsystems and tens of thousands of parts. Therefore, at this time, we want to integrate such complex and very large systems and parts.

In addition, reliability and safety must be ensured, and the requirements and difficulty of test flights are far higher than before.

But no matter how difficult it is, it will not have much impact on Chen Guohua.

He only needs to confirm that the parts manufactured by everyone meet the technical parameters he gave before, that is, they are qualified products.

Just when he got into the laboratory and started working, in Moscow, Ulyanov from the Ministry of Industry was a little angry.

"You're saying that in recent months, the import volume of titanium materials from Europe and the United States has dropped by 60%?"

Ulyanov stared at Fedorsky, the head of Avesma Magnesium and Titanium Company, with an extremely ugly expression.

"Yes, in the past few months, our titanium material export orders have dropped a lot. I already reported this to you as early as July and August."

Hearing Fedorsky's confirmation again, Ulyanov's face became even more ugly.

It's 60% less. How much money will this cost?

"What companies are they?"

"There are several companies in Europe that produce chicken wing ovens, and there are several companies in North America that make pizza ovens."

Fedorsky answered honestly.

The companies he mentioned are actually shell companies established overseas in North America for the purpose of confusing the public.

Moscow's intelligence department has long been eyeing these companies. After all, titanium is not an ordinary metal material. It is sold at such an expensive price just to make pizza ovens?
shit!

In July, Ulyanov had asked Andrei Gromyko, the head of the intelligence department, to help with the investigation.

The latter did indeed conduct a serious investigation, but it did not produce any results.

One thing that can be confirmed is that the titanium materials exported from Avisma Magnesium and Titanium eventually disappeared without a trace.

In other words, the titanium materials imported by European and American companies are most likely used to make aircraft, rockets, artificial satellites, etc.

Originally, this was nothing. After all, Moscow is not stupid. Titanium is a metal with light weight but hardness and superior performance. It is definitely not used to make ovens when exported abroad. Ulyanov and Andrei Gromyko , Fedorsky, they all know this very well.

But now, this big business, or rather the big grievance, has stopped coming to purchase their titanium materials from Moscow, which naturally shocked Ulyanov and others.

They thought that North America had found other suppliers of titanium alloy materials, or that North America itself had expanded its production capacity.

But as we all know, the smelting and purification technology of titanium materials is inherently very difficult. How easy is it to do it in a short time?
"Report it to Comrade Secretary!"

Ulyanov sighed. He was mentally prepared to be scolded by Brezhnev.

But when Fedorsky heard this, he trembled all over and looked somewhat frightened.

"Can I not go?"

Fedorsky was more afraid than happy about Brezhnev.

Not long after the former came to power, titles such as violent and domineering continued to spread from the Kremlin.

Therefore, who would not feel fear in the face of such a comrade secretary?
"What do you say?"

Ulyanov glared at the other party: Do you want me to face it alone?
That is the wrath of Comrade Secretary, and few people can bear it alone.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the Kremlin Palace and met Brezhnev.

When the latter learned about the incident, he was furious on the spot and immediately called Andrei Gromyko for questioning.

Andre is in charge of intelligence work, so he should be very clear about these things.

But in fact, Andre couldn't investigate clearly in a short time.

After all, where are the specific sources of titanium materials in North America? These require time and energy to investigate clearly. How can it be that simple?

"Idiots, are you pigs? Don't you know how to think of a solution? What are your brains used for?"

The furious Brezhnev had to curse.

Ever since he became the squad leader, things have rarely gone well for him.

For example, the Semiconductor City, although it was established with the approval of Helu, has not produced much output so far.

In other words, the products produced are not competitive in the international market.

With such technical products, the military actually regards them as treasures?
It’s simply ridiculous!
Hong Kong Island, China Resources Corporation headquarters.

Compared to the furious Brezhnev, Liu Guanzhong was much happier.

"Yulis, we have cleared all the money and goods. I wish you all the best."

Looking at the tall white man in front of him, Liu Guanzhong stretched out his hand and shook hands with him with a smile.

Yuris also shook hands with Liu Guanzhong with a smile, saying high-sounding words but sneering in his heart.

"Although our pizza oven manufacturing company has spent two billion US dollars to purchase hundreds of tons of titanium materials, you, China Resources, would never have imagined that these titanium materials would eventually be used in cutting-edge technology. I hope you, China Resources, won't cry when the time comes. ,Ha ha"

Liu Guanzhong didn't know what the foreigner in front of him was thinking. If he knew, he would probably laugh out loud.

Although Liu Guanzhong doesn't know why the titanium materials produced by Shen City's non-ferrous metal processing plants can be easily exported to North America and can be sold at such an expensive price.

But he knew very well that there would be no fools on the top.

Although the mainland is currently far behind Washington and Moscow in terms of high-end technological weapons.

But this gap does not mean that we cannot catch up.

There are various indications that the reason why the superiors agreed to export these titanium materials was definitely not an impulse, but the result of careful consideration.

Even if North America uses this batch of materials to make some awesome weapons, it will definitely be within the controllable range.

What Liu Guanzhong didn't know was that this business was originally snatched from Moscow.

After watching Yuris leave Hong Kong Island with the titanium materials, Liu Guanzhong turned back to the general manager's office and immediately reported to Baiyun City.

Through Qi Chunsong, Qiu Zongyue in the capital soon learned the news.

"Okay, okay, Lao Qi, you have done a good job. I would like to thank you on behalf of the superiors."

Qiu Zongyue was overjoyed and said to Qi Chunsong on the computer monitor:

"Now that the money has successfully entered our Bank of China account, let's proceed with the purchase as planned."

"Okay, leader, I understand."

Qi Chunsong looked serious with a smile, nodded and said.

Now that the transaction has been completed, this major task has finally come to an end.

With a one-time income of two billion US dollars, the heavy industry in the north is really awesome.

Unfortunately, there is no industry in the south so far, let alone income.

As for the diaper factory?

Although today's diaper factories are very large, with tens of thousands of workers, the output value is too low.

Compared with the titanium materials, electronic products, etc. exported by others, they can easily cost hundreds of millions of dollars or more than ten or two billion dollars, while diapers can only cost tens or even millions of dollars.

There is no comparison at all!
Beijing, Zhenhua Research Institute, in the director's office.

As soon as Qiu Zongyue arrived, Chen Guohua knew that the matter had come to an end.

The layout has been started in May and June, and now, half a year has passed, and we have finally succeeded in grabbing a large order from Moscow.

Unmentioned, Moscow’s GDP will definitely be reduced by hundreds of millions of dollars this year.

After confirming from Qiu Zongyue that the titanium material transaction had been successfully completed, Chen Guohua suddenly smiled.

Now that the beard has been successfully cut off, this matter is considered to be completely over. It should be unlikely that North America will import titanium materials from Moscow in the future.

Anyway, the price here in the Mainland is lower than that in Moscow. It’s just a one-time price. Even buying a toilet is a problem.

"By the way, leader, can our other products be successfully exported? Can we import more products from abroad?"

Regarding Lyndon Johnson's visit to Beijing some time ago, Chen Guohua never had time to follow up on the matter.

The reason is also very simple. Qiu Zongyue himself is also very busy, and he also needs to communicate and confirm with different units such as China Resources Company and Shenshi Nonferrous Metal Processing Factory.

So he didn't have time to come to Zhenhua Research Institute to find Chen Guohua.

Secondly, Chen Guohua has also been working hard recently and wants to take out the trial-production fighter jet for test flight as soon as possible. He is also very busy.

Even if it was a newspaper, Chen Guohua didn't have time to read it.

What's more, the information reported in newspapers is not necessarily true and effective, or it is impossible for newspapers to report many things.

The reason why Chen Guohua asked this was because he wanted to find out one thing: the issue of commodity trade!
Perhaps this time and space is completely different from the history of the original time and space.

But as the time gets closer, Chen Guohua is still worried that the cold Siberian wind will really blow.

Although he already has three special merit medals in his hand, he has three death-free gold medals, which is definitely more than enough to protect himself.

But he doesn't want to see the current good situation ruined.

"It's just the first communication at this time, and we haven't reached agreement on many aspects yet."

After hearing Qiu Zongyue's words, Chen Guohua understood immediately.

This was indeed a bit rushed.

As for the export of titanium materials, the reason why it can be completed so quickly is purely because of "the man's love and his concubine's intention", so the speed is very fast.

"Guohua, now that titanium materials have been exported, your side needs to be faster. We need to come up with mass-produced fighter jets faster than the other side of the Pacific. Otherwise, people will drive Blackbird spies. Come here, we can only stare."

Qiu Zongyue followed this topic and urged.

Chen Guohua nodded and said: "Leader, please rest assured that the six engines we produced before have successfully passed the test run, and they still performed well during the long test run and did not have any problems. "

"The engine is the core of the core components of a fighter jet. Since there is no problem with it, there will be no problem with other parts of the fighter jet."

"When I was designing the fighter jet, I had already carried out targeted and precise design, and there would never be any technical problems."

"Even the next test flight will pass smoothly."

Hearing this, Qiu Zongyue nodded happily.

The next topic is about the electronic products produced in Majuqiao Industrial Park.

In the past few months, several electronic products exported by China Resources have performed differently.

The first is the most anticipated Pac-Man game console.

Since it has no competition from any similar products, it is even encroaching on the market space of game arcades.

As a result, its sales have been rising steadily.

After monthly sales reached 700,000 units in July and August, sales rose to 800,000 units in October.

As we all know, July and August are summer vacations, and sales should be at their peak at this time.

As a result, I didn’t expect that October would be the peak.

Most likely, those students had living expenses and a few people pooled their money together to buy it, which led to a huge increase in sales, right?

In fact, Chen Guohua guessed correctly, but there was a high probability that he guessed some wrong things.

Because some students directly deceive their parents, they claim that the school has tutoring classes, extracurricular classes, etc., or they use excuses such as buying sneakers.

With these excuses and a little pocket money saved, you can buy a Pac-Man console.

In addition to students who love the Pac-Man game, many white-collar workers are even more crazy.

Because they are white-collar workers, they have more work pressure.

Especially those young people who have just started working and have money in their hands must give priority to rewarding themselves.

Since I saw such a fun Pac-Man game, I naturally gave priority to buying this game console.

In North America, Tokyo, Europe and other places, the price of Pac-Man game console has always been US$1,698, which has not changed since June.

As for the booming sales and huge sales of the Pac-Man game console, it started to be sold in April, and now in December, in just half a year, more than 5 million game consoles have been sold.

It directly makes IBM, Texas Instruments, Cray, Donald Duck Technology and many other companies crazy about it.

They all said that they would spend huge sums of money to enter this market, and they would make a big profit.

The same is true for Sony, Toshiba, and Fujifilm here in Tokyo, as well as many companies in Europe.

Anyway, the game console market has officially opened this year, and it is estimated that there may be a big battle mode next year.

The second is the "Ping Pong" game arcade product.

In August, China Resources suddenly announced that it would lower the price from US$3,999 to US$1,599, catching Texas Instruments off guard.

The sales of Texas Instruments' "Baseball" arcade game were suddenly struck by lightning, directly entering the era of single-digit sales.

Fraser was so angry that he vomited blood and was admitted to the hospital. Other executives, with the support of shareholders behind him, wanted to fight for power and profit.

But Frazier, the CEO, was still good at telling fortunes. He was discharged from the hospital after half a month and returned to the company to take charge of the overall situation.

However, the game arcade market is no longer what it used to be.

The "Baseball" game arcade tried to seize the market of the "Ping Pong" game arcade, but failed.

In the end, they had to sell off the factory's overstocked inventory at a loss of US$1,399, and the business was bleak.

As for when it will make a comeback, it depends on when the cost can be reduced even lower.

In fact, the production cost of the "Baseball" game arcade machine is 900 US dollars, but there are also transportation costs, and the cost of adding one dollar to 950 US dollars.

In addition, its sales have plummeted, making it difficult for the market to pay attention to it anymore.

Regarding this point, it is naturally because the design of the game "Baseball" is not reasonable enough, and most of the ideas are modeled on the game "Ping Pong".

Therefore, from the beginning, the fate of the "Baseball" game arcade was already doomed.

The price of the "Ping Pong" arcade game has plummeted, but sales have soared.

Therefore, China Resources' profits in this part of the market have not declined, but have grown against the trend, which is simply awesome.

Starting from August, the monthly sales volume had originally dropped to 10,000 units, but after August, it increased by 30 times, reaching 300,000 units per month.

Because someone bought the arcade game machine as a home machine.

After all, the unit price of the Pac-Man game console is US$1,698, while the unit price of the "Ping Pong" arcade game is only US$1,599.

With the price reduction of the "Ping Pong" game arcade, it has also affected those game console rooms.

The owners of those game console rooms feel a little cold in the face of the increasingly thinning game console rooms and have to lower their prices.

In the past, one dollar could only be used to play for half an hour, but now one can play for an hour.

This charge is still very expensive, but for those teenagers who have no money to buy a game console, it is already very good.

However, most game console room owners are very dissatisfied with this matter.

Because they make less money!

Seeing the half-dead state of Texas Instruments' "Baseball" game arcade, Cray, IBM and other companies all fell silent.

When China Resources faced competitors, the methods it used were too simple and crude, but the results were a complete mess.

The third type is the Huaxing digital SLR product. Because the unit price is still too high, at US$9,999 per unit, many consumers cannot afford it.

As a result, monthly sales plummeted from 5,000 units to 2,000 units.

However, the monthly output of the Yao Linglu factory is still 5,000 units and has not decreased.

The reason is also very simple. This is to ensure that the inventory can support the subsequent price cuts.

Then there is the fourth product Huaxin Radio, which has a strong competitor like IBM.

China Resources naturally lowered the price, directly hitting the price of the radio to an ultra-low price of twenty-nine US dollars.

IBM's price starts at thirty-nine dollars, and the cost is twenty-five dollars.

But faced with China Resources' ultra-low price of twenty-nine dollars, Watson got angry immediately.

This simply doesn't give IBM a way to survive!

Even if Zhang Zhongmou's plan is to move the factory to Bay Island and the cost is controlled below fifteen US dollars, then Watson dares to set the price at thirty US dollars.

But even so, it can't compare to China Resources.

In addition, even if Watson lowers the price of IBM's radio to 25 US dollars, or even 20 US dollars, it probably won't work.

Just because China Resources' costs are definitely lower.

A price war is meaningless!
In other words, IBM has given up!

It’s okay not to give in. Facing the extremely powerful China Resources Corporation, how dare they not give in?

Because IBM cannot compare with China Resources in terms of technology or cost, so how can we do this?
Can't compete!
The most important thing is that even if the market is recaptured, the profit will be extremely low.

For IBM, which is accustomed to big fish and big meat, a business that costs so much money but doesn't make much money must definitely be cut off.

This is how Watson got to the top in the first place.

Therefore, IBM held another meeting, rejected the plan to move the factory to Bay Island, had a liquidation sale, and exited the radio market.

Watson Jr. decided to focus more on the three major markets of computers, game consoles and calculators.

The last one is calculators. This market also has IBM as a disruptor.

However, China Resources and IBM formed a tacit understanding and did not continue to cut prices.

After China Resources entered September, it launched other different types of calculators.

Such as professional calculators, graphing calculators, statistical calculators, etc.

After these products entered the market, IBM was stunned.

Farke, you can still do this, right?

There is no doubt that Watson Jr. directly ordered to follow up. They are determined to be this imitator!
However, these professional calculators are not so easy to imitate.

It will take some time for IBM to make money on this track.

In addition to the above products, the last one is the pager.

So far, Siemens has spent half a year and finally built 6,800 base stations in Tokyo.

Felix chose to cooperate with Fujifilm, which enabled him to build 6,800 base stations at such a rapid speed, that is, in less than half a year.

After the construction of the base station is completed, the next step is to sell pagers.

The weather in Hong Kong Island in December is not very cold, and the temperature is only around 8 degrees above zero.

But even if the temperature is eight degrees above zero, because it is a combination of magic and physical attacks, and the humidity is high, it is still quite cold.

At the headquarters of China Resources Corporation, many agents came again today.

Raymond, Srikvasant, Felix and others all came.

Capitalists such as Li Bingzhe and Suarez are marginal figures and are not taken seriously.

But even so, they still came.

In fact, China Resources has no intention of discriminating against anyone, but it can't stand people like Raymond and will do anything to drive away competitors.

No, as soon as he entered the conference room, Raymond laughed at Fraser.

"Yo yo yo, I heard that some people produced "Baseball", but it's a pity that it doesn't seem to be selling well."

Fraser was immediately furious, Farke!
But this is China Resources. Even if Fraser is angry, he still has to pay attention to the situation.

Liu Guanzhong also admired Fraser very much. He actually dared to come to China Resources Company?

How blatant! ! !
"Fraser, I'm sorry. Since your company copied our China Resources products and failed to pay the technology patent fees, our company will no longer cooperate with your company in the future. Please leave!"

This is not the first time Liu Guanzhong has said such strong words.

In fact, as early as August, Texas Instruments stopped visiting China Resources. Most likely because their company was competing with China Resources at that time.

But no one expected that Fraser would come to China Resources again in December.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu. I'm here to apologize to you. At the same time, our company will pay the patent design fee. Is that okay?"

Fraser said apologetically, his attitude seemed very sincere.

But there is a feeling of loneliness of a hero in his twilight years.

Comrade Tang Dake looked at this scene with a thoughtful expression on his face.

However, Raymond, Felix, Srikvasant and others opened their mouths and did not react for a long time.

What a great guy, Fraser, a proud capitalist, actually apologized?
It’s simply unbelievable!
At the same time, I also have a new understanding of China Resources' methods.

When Liu Guanzhong heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he was very surprised.

Royalties?
Is this really possible?

Then go to the office next door and have a chat.

Ten minutes later, Liu Guanzhong and Fraser returned to the conference room again. Looking at their faces, they knew that the matter was done.

In fact, this is indeed the case. China Resources received patent fees for the first time, although it was not much, only US$500,000.

But this is also progress.

At the same time, Fraser also reported Srikvasant because Walls Semiconductor is a subsidiary of IBM.

Therefore, after Liu Guanzhong returned to the conference room, he naturally could not pretend that this incident had not happened.

"Srikvasan, I'm sorry about your company. So please leave our conference room."

Srikvasant was startled, and then glared at Fraser angrily: "Fake Fraser, you son of a bitch, you are stepping on the horse."

Liu Guanzhong's face suddenly darkened, and he waved his hand to ask the staff to drive Srikwasan out.

The latter reacted promptly and wanted to defend himself.

But to no avail.

Because IBM has long been on China Resources' blacklist, it is naturally impossible for him to stay here unless he can pay patent fees and compensation.

Otherwise, there is no hope of obtaining China Resources’ forgiveness.

Srikwasan was forced out, and Raymond, Yumen Saburo, Comrade Tang Dake and others suddenly felt shocked, the secret channel was broken!

When encountering such a situation, there is no good solution for everyone.

Because almost everyone present wanted to imitate China Resources' electronic products.

As for letting them innovate?

How can it be?

The five major categories of products, radios, calculators, game consoles, pagers, and electronic cameras, are almost all related to daily life.

If you want to enter these industries, you cannot avoid competition with China Resources.

How easy is it to completely innovate a better product?
Even IBM and Texas Instruments, two companies that imitated China Resources' products, were still beaten.

You can’t compete on cost, and you can’t beat innovation, what should you do?
For a moment, Raymond, Comrade Tang Dake and others were very confused and didn't know how to deal with it.

However, Liu Guanzhong spoke quickly, and everyone concentrated on playing the role of second-tier dealer first and making money first.

Needless to say, Fraser did a great job in knocking Srikvasant out with this move.

With one less person competing, everyone can share more of the Pac-Man console and many other products.

According to past practice, Liu Guanzhong gives priority to selling old products before starting to announce new products.

As for pagers, only Siemens won the full price this time.

The wholesale price of this thing is sixty-nine dollars each, and the retail price is seventy-nine dollars. The profit is not high.

Obviously, what you earn is not the price difference, but the steady stream of communication fees.

Raymond and others were very envious when they saw Felix coming back from outside happily, presumably completing the deal.

Comrade Tang Dake couldn't help but ask Liu Guanzhong, "Mr. Liu, when will the next pager be released?"

Half a year has passed, and there seems to be no movement from Cray, IBM and other companies, and they have not been able to develop pagers.

It seems they haven't discovered that there are pagers in hospitals in North America.

Or perhaps, some of them knew about such pagers, but found that these beepers only had a paging function, which was naturally different from China Resources' pagers.

Therefore, there was no connection between the two for a while.

Or the pager's functions are too complete, and the unit price of the pager itself is too low, which means that the profit is not high.

However, the cost investment is very high. After all, base stations are not cheap.

Including technicians, etc., Siemens' investment has reached nearly 1.3 billion US dollars.

So there is still quite a lot of pressure to recover the costs.

Probably for these reasons, companies such as IBM are also considering whether to imitate?

"almost!"

Liu Guanzhong smiled and did not answer directly.

Because Siemens has not yet started selling pagers and does not know the specific sales volume, China Resources will not open sales in other regions for the time being.

In fact, Liu Guanzhong is also worried that Siemens has ruined such a good business of pagers.

But if the retail price is seventy-nine dollars and the sales volume is not as expected, it is definitely a marketing problem.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for our new product release. This time, the latest electronic product launched by China Resources is an electronic notepad."

Hearing the words "electronic notepad", Raymond and others all looked curiously: What is this? (End of chapter)
