The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 315, Aftershock Paper Electronic Watch
In March 1966, Chen Guohua came to work at Zhenhua Research Institute early, but he was a little uneasy.

He didn't even know when Qiu Zongyue came in.

"Guohua, what were you thinking about just now? Are you so absorbed in it?"

It wasn't until Qiu Zongyue gently pushed Chen Guohua that the latter finally returned to reality.

"Leader, I always feel like something bad is going to happen today, and I haven't been able to calm down and do things."

Seeing Chen Guohua frowning tightly, Qiu Zongyue said with some disapproval:
"I think you must be working too hard and hallucinating."

Chen Guohua shook his head and retorted:
"Although I think this is a bit nonsense, I think it is not impossible. Something must have happened somewhere."

As he spoke, Chen Guohua suddenly stood up and said:

"Leader, you don't have anything to ask me about, right? If not, I want to go to the Satellite Communications Office now and check the situation myself."

"How can everything be okay? But if you are in a hurry, let's talk on the way."

So the two of them went out and got into the car, where they chatted about China Resources' recent new product launch conference.

March is the month for new product launches, and just as the Morgan consortium predicted, China Resources has indeed launched an epoch-making new product.

Well, actually squeeze out toothpaste.

why?

Because the new product launched in March this year is actually a pager, but unlike the previous pager, the advanced version of the pager allows consumers to reply to text messages by themselves.

Even though he can only edit one hundred and forty text messages, his skills are already very impressive.

The advanced pager, also called a two-way pager, can not only receive messages, but also send reply messages.

With this alone, the purpose of mobile communication has been achieved.

Although it can only communicate through text and cannot make calls, it is already very powerful.

The previous one-way pagers could only receive messages. When something happened, you had to go to a public phone to call the other party.

Now it's better, you can reply to the other party directly through the pager.

If you want to purchase this kind of two-way pager, you must upgrade the base station, otherwise, the signal will not be supported.

Anyway, this is another kind of exploitation of capitalists' money.

In the past, companies such as Siemens and Donald Duck Technologies could only recognize each one by pinching their noses.

The previous signal transmitter cost US$75,000 per unit. Now if you need to upgrade, you only need to pay US$50,000.

It seems like there is a shortfall of US$25,000, but the number of base stations has expanded a lot.

For example, in the Tokyo area, Siemens only needed to purchase 6,800 base stations, which meant that only 6,800 signal transmitters were needed.

But now it doesn't stop.

As long as Siemens wants more people to buy pagers and more people to pay annual or monthly fees, it can only provide more base stations to make the signal more stable.

Otherwise, the logistics customer service center will definitely be forced to suspend due to receiving complaint calls.

After all, with millions or even tens of millions of pager owners, the number of calls the customer service center receives every day will definitely exceed 100,000.

With such a terrifying number of calls, the entire customer service center must be built large enough.

Each customer service staff can answer a hundred calls a day, which is already very good.

If there are 100,000 phone calls, there must be at least a thousand customer service personnel.

Siemens must attach great importance to logistics services, because once these customers are lost, there will not be so many people paying annual fees the next year.

For Siemens, they make a lot of money by collecting annual fees and monthly fees.

The two-way pager released in March is definitely the future trend.

Therefore, in the Tokyo area, the number of base stations has exceeded 10,000 and reached 15,000.

If everything needs to be replaced, then based on the unit price of US$50,000, China Resources can earn US$750 million just by upgrading the base station.

Not to mention that this is just the Tokyo area, there are other places where you can make even more money.

Including IBM, Texas Instruments and other companies, they were all secretly grateful after learning about two-way pagers.

Fortunately, they did not enter this industry recklessly, otherwise, they would definitely be crushed into scum.

Starting from one-way pagers, the functions are already full, and the cost is so low, how can they compete?

Nowadays, two-way pagers are a bit more expensive, with a unit price of one hundred and ninety-nine dollars.

But it’s worth it!

After all, a two-way pager has a nine-square grid keyboard that can be edited and can send messages. There is no need to go to the operation center. Not to mention it is only 199 US dollars, even if it is 599 US dollars, many consumers will do it. Very happy to buy.

The reason why the two-way pager is so expensive is naturally because of its social nature, which is fundamentally different from the previous one-way pager.

And this also pave the way for new products to be launched later.

We need to mention the price, otherwise China Resources won't be able to make much money if it stays so cheap.

Chen Guohua hopes that these social things can be connected with pet eggs or other game machines.

It's just that in today's era, all this is really difficult to achieve.

Take your time!

Chen Guohua breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that China Resources' revenue in March this year had exceeded US$7 billion.

We will definitely be able to make more money in the next few months. We currently have $7 billion, which is already very good.

This start is enough for Chen Guohua.

But this year was different. After the time entered March, Chen Guohua already felt that something was wrong.

Therefore, once the Siberian cold wind really passes through, although it may not be as terrifying as the original time and space, it cannot stand up to human nature.

Human nature is a very complex thing. We cannot just look at the surface, but we must also see through the phenomena to see the essence.

Therefore, China Resources only received US$7 billion in revenue, and designation was not enough.

In the short term, Chen Guohua has no other good way to increase revenue.

As for introducing other new products that are like killer weapons, that is simply killing the goose that lays the egg, which is not advisable.

So what can be done now is to complete the launch of synchronous satellites as soon as possible.

Now Chen Guohua and Qiu Zongyue went to the satellite communications office, which is on Di'anmen Street, mainly to connect satellites and the ground.

Not only are there satellite communications offices here in the capital, but they have also been established in other places such as the northwest and southeast.

In January this year, the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center successfully launched a medium-altitude orbit satellite, which landed in space two thousand kilometers away from the ground.

In comparison, the lifespan of this satellite is much longer, lasting about five years.

But these don't matter much. Chen Guohua feels that it won't take long for the mainland to launch geostationary satellites soon.

Once the geostationary satellite is launched, it will stay directly overhead and can monitor all conditions in the entire hinterland at any time.

In addition, the air defense system proposed by Chen Guohua has been gradually improved. By then, after anti-missile weapons and jammers and other equipment are developed, the entire mainland will become a turtle shell, and there will be no need to worry about being threatened. :

Give you a nuclear surgery!

The reason why Chen Guohua wanted to go to the Satellite Communications Office now was just to give an early warning.

He really couldn't bear it, because those were 16,000 living lives.

After arriving at the Communications Office, Chen Guohua asked the staff of the Communications Office to collect the latest relevant testing information.

In fact, how can earthquakes be predicted in advance?
Even in the technologically advanced era of later generations, there was nothing we could do about natural disasters like earthquakes.

We can only passively defend and learn how to evacuate in an emergency. There is no way to know the earthquake information in advance and prepare in advance to reduce losses.

"Guohua, what's the use of this data? Can you analyze anything?"

Seeing Chen Guohua's mysterious look, Qiu Zongyue, who was following behind him, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Leader, I don't know what I can analyze, but I always feel that these are not that simple. The movement direction of these clouds is a bit unusual."

Chen Guohua didn't say anything clearly, he could only make some nonsense.

The staff on the side looked at this scene in confusion. They also didn't understand. What on earth was Chen Guohua calculating when he picked up these data and wrote and drew?

No one can understand it.

But at this time, the Satellite Communications Department suddenly received new abnormal data.

Before Chen Guohua and Qiu Zongyue could get the data, their pagers were already ringing.

The latter took out the pager, and after seeing the message on it, his expression suddenly changed.

An earthquake occurred in Shunde Prefecture, please call back!

earthquake!

This is a natural disaster, how is it possible?

"Guohua, let's go, don't worry, something has already happened."

While talking, Qiu Zongyue had already pulled Chen Guohua away from the Satellite Communications Office.

After getting in the car, Chen Guohua already knew what was going on. When he learned that there was an earthquake in Shunde Mansion, he immediately became anxious.

"Leader, we need to talk to the superiors and seize the time to carry out earthquake relief. Our bombers can first drop paratroopers for rescue, and the drones must also set off as soon as possible."

"Guohua, don't worry, maybe this earthquake will have little impact."

When Qiu Zongyue heard this, he said relatively optimistically.

"No, leader, you don't know that once an earthquake occurs, there may be other aftershocks in the next week or half a month. If not handled properly, it is likely to cause greater losses during the subsequent earthquake relief process. , we must pay great attention to it.”

Shunde Prefecture, a certain local army.

After receiving the order from above, Kang Qingde took the lead and set off for the disaster area with his team.

"Captain Kang, how come the higher-ups know so clearly where the disaster is most severe? Do we have to go to Longrao County?"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Kang Qingde in the car glared at the talkative Zhang Xiaoming and continued:

"We are here to rescue people. Other things have nothing to do with us. I'll suppress your curiosity. There is a saying that curiosity killed the cat, you know?"

When it comes to disaster relief, how can Kang Qingde take care of so much?
What's more, isn't it a good thing that the higher-ups can find out where the worst-hit places are immediately?
Instead of gossiping about this, it is better to think carefully about how to save more people while protecting yourself during the subsequent earthquake relief process.

When Kang Qingde and others rushed to the front line, hundreds of large drones had successfully arrived in Longrao County.

The footage captured by the drone was transmitted back to the satellite, and then back to the capital. Qiu Zongyue and the others all took a deep breath.

That's horrible!
The entire area seemed to have been punched from the ground, with landslides and ground torn apart.

The ruins and ruins that can be seen everywhere are like a purgatory on earth.

Before that, this place shouldn't have been like this, but it turned into what it is now in the blink of an eye, alas!
"We must have our own earthquake prediction system"

After this incident, the superiors held a meeting with Chen Guohua and others, hoping to successfully establish an earthquake prediction system for the mainland.

This system is not just something you can just talk about casually. It must be able to achieve certain results.

Even Chen Guohua, who has always been brave enough to take responsibility, was a little silent at this time.

It wasn't until the leader called his name that he opened his mouth and said:

"Leader, professors, as far as I know, there are generally three methods for predicting earthquakes, one is the seismic geology method, the second is the seismic statistics method, and the other is the earthquake precursor method."

"According to different time scales, earthquake forecasting can be divided into five stages, namely long-term forecasting, medium-term forecasting, short-term forecasting, imminent earthquake forecasting and aftershock forecasting after the mainshock."

“But we must admit that our human sight is still unable to penetrate thick rock formations to directly observe the changes occurring inside the earth. Therefore, earthquake prediction, especially short-term earthquake prediction, has always been a global problem that has troubled seismologists around the world. problem."

"Based on this, there are not many things we can do."

"Of course, the fact that the problem is before us does not mean that we can only surrender. The more difficult it is to get over the hurdle, the more we must face the difficulty seriously. As an old saying goes, there are always more solutions than difficulties."

After a pause, Chen Guohua continued:
"In response to the earthquake that occurred in Shunde Prefecture, I think it is necessary to collect more data to record and find patterns."

"But the most important thing now is the aftershocks after Shunde Prefecture. This is a very important point, so I suggest that everyone who goes to Shunde Prefecture must protect themselves."

In fact, Chen Guohua knew very well that aftershocks would continue to occur in the next few days, and the magnitude would not be low. One aftershock even reached level 2 at 7.0.

After hearing Chen Guohua's words, everyone couldn't help but nodded.

Both non-professional leaders and experts and professors in this major agree very much with Chen Guohua's views.

While they were having a meeting to discuss, Kang Qingde and his disaster relief team had been blocked in Shunde Mansion.

"Can't the car pass?"

Kang Qingde got out of the car, took a look at the situation ahead, and immediately gave an order for everyone to get off the car and run forward.

The focal depth of the earthquake was ten kilometers, causing many small roads to be destroyed.

Not to mention cars, even walking is a big problem.

"Everyone, please pay attention to your steps. Don't let us come to rescue you when the time comes."

How embarrassing would it be to save your own people?

Soon, Kang Qingde and the others arrived at the small towns surrounding the county. When they saw the collapsed houses, everyone immediately launched rescue operations.

Fortunately, many people in the town who had escaped the disaster gathered together, and there were also a lot of relief supplies.

These supplies were delivered immediately by large drones.

It's March now, which is the time for spring cold, and it's still quite cold.

Therefore, supplies must be ensured in place.

At this time, the maneuverability of large drones is demonstrated.

In fact, if there are heavy transport helicopters, the disaster relief speed can be faster.

For every minute of early rescue, it is possible to save one person.

In the original history of time and space, according to the information that Chen Guohua could find, the number of injured was 24,000.

In this time and space, the loss is still great, but it is not so terrible.

Chen Guohua did not pay attention to this matter all the time, just because he didn't want to look at those pictures, but there was nothing he could do.

Zhenhua Research Institute, next street, helicopter laboratory.

"Professor Ji, Professor Jin, how is the current research and development progress? When can the test flight be carried out?"

Chen Guohua didn't pay much attention to the helicopter laboratory, mainly because he knew that the helicopter would definitely not be able to catch up with the earthquake relief in Shunde Prefecture.

In addition, his own time is not enough, so if it is not a technical problem, Chen Guohua rarely comes here.

"Director Chen, please rest assured that we guarantee that we can complete technology research and development as planned. We have completed the test of the engine propeller. The next step is the overall test of the engine."

Ji Wenxi said this, and Chen Guohua nodded immediately after hearing this.

As long as you follow the plan, there won't be much of a problem.

Professor Jin Peiquan on the other side also said there was no big problem.

"Okay, okay, then I will wait for the good news from you all." Chen Guohua was overjoyed, and then suddenly said:

"You must have read the newspapers, right? There was an earthquake in Shunde Prefecture. If we had built helicopters in advance, we would have been able to rescue more people during this earthquake relief effort."

"So the task on your shoulders is very heavy. I hope that next time something like this happens, our helicopters can rush to the scene as soon as possible."

I chatted with Ji Wenxi and Jin Peiquan for a while, and solved some of their technical problems. The whole morning passed like this.

When Chen Guohua returned to Zhenhua Research Institute, he heard news that shocked him beyond measure.

Alexander Grothendieck actually applied for a volunteer and wanted to go to Shunde Prefecture to help with disaster relief.

Chen Guohua was speechless. Although the other party's intention was good, why did he feel that Grothendieck wanted to cause trouble?
Earthquake relief is not something ordinary people can do, not to mention the distance from Beijing to Shunde is more than 300 kilometers, which is not a short distance. Although Grothendieck had a relatively miserable childhood, he was not the kind of person who said, "If I get caught in the rain, I will tear other people's umbrellas into pieces."

On the contrary, he is a person who relatively likes freedom and peace.

Grothendieck couldn't sit still after seeing what was happening in the news reports.

"Suppress his application and don't let him pass."

However, Chen Guohua did not let Grothendieck go by himself, but the latter directly found other people and asked others to help.

Therefore, without Chen Guohua knowing it, several foreigners went straight to Shunde Prefecture with their luggage and passage tickets on their backs.

However, when they arrived at Shunde Mansion, they were surprised to find that it had changed a lot.

When they saw the soldiers, they were still very surprised. Especially the scene of the soldiers and ordinary people sitting and chatting together deeply irritated Grothendieck and others.

For Grothendieck, who experienced World War II, soldiers should always stay away.

But what he saw in front of him refreshed his outlook.

Sure enough, the world is very big, and it doesn’t seem incomprehensible that such a thing would happen.

"Hey, why are you foreign comrades here? This is a disaster area. I heard that there may be aftershocks. Don't just go indoors or under the big trees."

When Kang Qingde saw Grothendieck and the others, he couldn't help but remind them.

However, he didn't seem to have considered one thing, and that was whether Grothendieck and the others could understand the Mandarin they spoke.
There are people in Grothendieck's team who understand Mandarin, so communication is not a problem at all.

Knowing that this group of foreigners were kind-hearted and wanted to come to the disaster area to serve as volunteers, Kang Qingde and the others were stunned for a while, and then politely refused.

"I suggest you go back first, maybe"

Before he finished speaking, the ground shook and an earthquake struck again.

Kang Qingde immediately shouted loudly and told everyone to go to an open and flat place and not to other places.

Grothendieck and the others were all frightened. This was a six-point second-degree seismic wave, and they were right at the center of the earthquake, so they felt the earthquake even more strongly.

The foreigners who experienced this natural disaster for the first time were all shocked.

Not to mention being a volunteer, it would be nice not to cause any trouble to Kang Qingde and the others.

Fortunately, when the earthquake hit this time, everyone was on the open ground, and no one was injured.

There were just a few unlucky ones who couldn't stand firm and fell to the ground, scratching their skin.

Chen Guohua had no idea what was happening in Shunde Mansion.

If he knew, he would definitely stop it.

It's a pity that it's too late.

Foreigners are not good at this, they are not so easy to manage.

It is said that mainland students tend to abide by the rules, while foreign students are good at breaking them. This is the difference between the two sides.

Buzz!

There was a sudden roar above their heads, and then Grothendieck and the others saw that the large drone had arrived where they were.

"What kind of aircraft is that? Why is it so magical? It can actually fly in the air?"

Although Grothendieck and others are just foreigners engaged in mathematical research, it does not mean that they have shallow knowledge.

They had heard of drones, but they had never seen drones like the one above them.

Moreover, this kind of drone is supposed to be a heavily equipped fist weapon for the army, and it will not show its talent easily.

But now?

It's important to save people!

What Grothendieck and the others didn't know was that these drones had already been known to Moscow, North America, and others.

Previously at Xishan Pass, the three buddies at that time were all confused by drones.

Drone tactics are the most advanced warfare methods in later generations. Using this tactic to deal with the third brother is purely a dimensionality reduction strike.

Because of this, the news about drones cannot be hidden at all.

What's more, drones have made great contributions to this earthquake relief effort.

As for whether the drone will be leaked, there is no need to worry too much.

After all, the most critical technology for drones is at the algorithm level, not the hardware level.

As long as the algorithm can continue to maintain its lead, there won't be much of a problem.

In the confused eyes of Grothendieck and others, drones dropped a lot of supplies, and some drones came just to check the situation and confirm whether support was needed.

Due to the early warning, this aftershock did not cause much secondary damage. However, this is only the first wave, and there will be several more waves to follow.

Chen Guohua has not been keeping an eye on the earthquake in Shunde Prefecture, but he is still concerned about it.

Fortunately, I made a lot of preparations and it came in handy.

Qiu Zongyue learned that the first wave of aftershocks actually had six point level two, and he couldn't believe his ears.

Isn't this aftershock too scary?
"Fortunately, I listened to Chen Guohua's advice. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous."

When he thought of this, Qiu Zongyue went to find Chen Guohua again.

After the latter learned about the other party's intention, he immediately said:

"Leader, it is indeed very likely that there will be aftershocks later, and the level of this aftershock will be even more serious."

Normally, after a mainshock occurs, there are a series of aftershocks, the intensity of which is generally smaller than the mainshock.

As for the time interval between the aftershocks and the main shock, it’s really hard to tell.

It could be an hour, a day, a week, or even a month.

As for the earthquake that occurred in Shunde Prefecture this time, the main shock was 6.8 magnitude, which was already very high.

But after a while, the aftershocks were no longer 6:00 on the second level, but reached the appalling 7:00 on the second level.

Therefore, in fact, the main shock should be the second level at 7 o'clock.

However, humankind’s understanding of earthquakes, a natural disaster, is limited.

Therefore, whether it is a main earthquake or an aftershock, we should take it seriously and take protective measures.

After Qiu Zongyue heard this, although he had some doubts in his heart, he still adhered to the mentality of "if you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst" and went out to arrange the work.

North America, Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, Hassler Whitney suddenly sighed.

"Everyone, will you go to the capital to attend the report meeting at the end of this month? According to the invitation letter, this report meeting will last for half a month, and Chen Guohua will report in person throughout the entire process."

Since November last year, Chen Guohua has been the first to produce five papers of extremely high quality, and then in December he came up with the breakthrough of verifying the BSD conjecture.

Then in January and February of 1966, Chen Guohua still published several papers, and the quality was not low.

Anyway, for now, several months have passed, and no one, including Hassler Whitney, has found any flaws.

On the contrary, everyone has been conquered by these papers published by Chen Guohua.

It doesn't matter if the quality is high, but the key is that he publishes every month. Is it true that his talents cannot be used up?

The entire mathematical community was resigned to being defeated, but no one mentioned the International Congress of Mathematicians again.

Because this matter is not a simple matter in the mathematical world. It is mixed with other things, so it is difficult to be pure.

As a result, with the invitation letters sent by Chen Guohua, it is estimated that not many mathematicians will go to the capital.

They are all worried that after these mathematicians run away to the capital, they will stay in the capital like Grothendieck, Michael Atiyah and others.

And they took the initiative to apply to the embassy, ​​and no one was stopping them.

If they want to go to Shunde Mansion, they can go to Shunde Mansion, and no one will stop them.

Therefore, Hassler Whitney is worried about this and wants to ask Andre Wey and others first.

After all, even Hassler Whitney himself wanted to stay in the capital and witness Chen Guohua create miracles.

According to Chen Guohua's high productivity rate, no one knows to what level he will bring mathematics to.

"Would you choose not to go to such a grand event?"

Kurt Gödel asked directly with a smile, which immediately made Hassler Whitney very angry.

Who asked you to ask this question?

Andre Wey shook his head and said nothing.

Instead of talking about these boring topics, it is better to calm down and study Chen Guohua's thesis.

The latter has too many papers, the quality is extremely high, and many new mathematical tools and methods have been proposed.

Even top mathematicians will definitely need time if they want to fully understand these papers.

What's more, Chen Guohua published more than ten papers frantically. This number is simply terrifying.

Just when the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study was causing some unpleasantness because of Chen Guohua's paper, Lundberg's face was extremely gloomy on the other side.

"So you are sure that more than 20 Chinese scientific researchers have left North America and returned to Hong Kong Island, right?"

This is a very bad phenomenon recently.

If not for the reminder from his subordinates, Lundberg would not have noticed these situations.

Although these Chinese scientific researchers did not indicate that they wanted to break away from their North American identity when they left North America.

But if they stay in the capital for a long time, they may not return to North America.

Once time goes by, will we really give up everything in North America?

However, the advantage now still lies with Lundberg and the others, so after learning about the matter, he pressed the matter and did not report it to the superiors.

After all, they were just more than 20 scientific researchers. The North American country had a great cause and was not afraid of this loss.

Isn't there an old Chinese saying that goes like this: It's difficult to go from luxury to frugality!

All scientific researchers who have been in North America for a long time are accustomed to the luxurious life here in North America. How can they still be accustomed to the backward living conditions in the mainland?
Therefore, Lundberg believes that those people will definitely come back to North America before long.

However, what Lundberg has not yet discovered is that more outstanding Chinese Americans have left North America through corporate business trips.

More mainland workers have come to North America to earn foreign exchange.

For example, the service company Chen Yuanchao acquired last year only had 150 air-conditioning installers last year, but now it has more than 500 people.

This can also reflect one thing, that is, air conditioners exported from China Resources or from the mainland have already carved a niche in the North American market.

With low prices, high-quality products, and first-class service, we have successfully occupied a part of the market.

Since China Resources has taken an extra bite of the cake, as long as the cake has not grown bigger, it means that many people have eaten a lot less.

Behind the scenes, some congressmen proposed to increase tariffs on China Resources, but such a proposal did not attract attention.

Including Lyndon Johnson, who doesn’t know that China Resources is a fat sheep?
But increasing tariffs is like a double-edged sword, which is not so easy to use.

In New York, Comrade Tang Dake, who had been out of school for a year, was called home today and was scolded by his grandmother and father.

Just because Comrade Tang Dake went through the suspension of study procedures privately, he actually deceived his family.

Until a few days ago, his father met someone who looked very similar to his son by chance, but he couldn't confirm it at once.

However, his father still contacted the school and learned that Comrade Tang Dake had suspended his studies.

Good guy, take a break from school?

When did the family become so poor that the eldest grandson had to take a break from school and go out to make money to support the family?
Comrade Tang Dake was too lazy to pretend anymore. He directly stated that he was the general manager of Donald Duck Technology Company and the major shareholder.

This sentence alone is enough to confirm one thing, that is, Comrade Tang Dake's net worth has exceeded that of his father.

Starting from the summer of 1962, when he first worked with China Resources, he made more than 2.4 million U.S. dollars, which was no different from picking up money.

Faced with such business, young Comrade Tang Dake couldn't stop at all.

So since then, it has been a wild ride, earning 100 million US dollars, buying three lithography machines, establishing a large company, and so on.

In particular, the North American agency rights for pagers deeply stimulated Comrade Tang Dake.

After leaving his home in New York, Comrade Tang Dake plunged into his busy work.

"Gelast, is it possible for us to develop a mobile communication device based on this two-way pager? For example, one that can make phone calls?"

In the office, Comrade Tang Dake discussed with Gerast, Horney, Bernstein and others.

After attending Huarong's new product launch in March this year, Comrade Tang Dake had a strong feeling that China Resources' next move would most likely be a mobile phone device.

Today's two-way pagers are actually mobile communication devices.

Even though it can only send text messages and not make calls, it's still pretty cool.

"Tang, I know what you want to say. There should be ready-made technology at Bell Labs. We can go to them and ask."

After a pause, Gerast continued:

"If we want to release this kind of mobile communication equipment before China Resources launches new products, I'm afraid we won't be competitive."

“The factory we built on Hong Kong Island is already in operation, but it’s just our own products.”

At this point, Jerast and others suddenly felt ashamed.

It’s not that they didn’t produce many products, but the products they produced didn’t bring much profit to Donald Duck Technology Company.

To put it simply, there is no market competitiveness. Cost control is okay, but the products are not good, and everything they say is fake.

"In addition to going to Bell Labs, are there any other ideas? For example, some more innovative methods."

Under Comrade Tang Dake's questioning, Horney suddenly said:
"How about we imitate China Resources' pet eggs and create a high-quality and low-priced electronic watch?"

electronic watch?

Suddenly, the eyes of everyone in the conference room suddenly became sharp.

Products like pet eggs have already become popular among primary and secondary school students, college students and white-collar workers.

This kind of people have absolutely no resistance to cute things.

And this point that Horney raised is probably their only chance to counter China Resources, right?
No matter what, everyone discussed it very enthusiastically, mainly because they wanted to find out the style, cost, technology, etc. of electronic watches.

Especially the appearance of the watch, the design in this aspect must be stunning enough.

"But what about the battery technology? If the power is too low, for example, within a month, the battery will run out of power. By then, consumers will probably scold us to death."

Bernstein raised a relatively fatal question, but Comrade Tang Dake interrupted directly:
"We will do research and development first. If it doesn't work, we will find other laboratories to cooperate. If it doesn't work, we will talk to China Resources. In short, this time, the electronic watch is the top secret project of our Donald Duck Technology Company."

Young Comrade Tang Dake looked at everyone very seriously at this time and said:

"If our project is leaked."

Gerast and others all nodded solemnly, especially Horni, who was the proposer of this idea. He was even more worried that this project would be leaked.

As a result, a product like an electronic watch suddenly appeared in Donald Duck Technology Company.

If Chen Guohua knew it, he would probably shake his head.

This time and space is indeed very different.

Electronic watches, in the history of the original time and space, should have been created by Shuo Yamazaki in Tokyo.

In fact, earlier, in 1955, Switzerland successfully developed the first balance-spring electronic watch.

The LCD electronic watch that can often be seen on the market in later generations was invented by Shuo Yamazaki in Tokyo.

While Donald Duck Technology is busy with the new product of electronic watches, here in Silicon Valley, Fairchild Semiconductor has finally played its role.
