The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 319, two plans (please vote for me)
In late April 1966, in the season of spring and bright scenery in the northern hemisphere, Moscow was still in the alternation of winter and spring.

It was still raining outside the window. It was sleet and snowy weather. It was very cold outside and felt a bit damp.

Gelfand withdrew his gaze from the window and sighed helplessly.

This International Congress of Mathematicians is probably going to end badly.

When he sighed, Brezhnev was furious.

"So they launched another satellite into space? And it was successful?"

Bandrovsky looked at the comrade secretary in front of him and suddenly felt that he was very strange. He was a furious African lion.

A very scary look, like a sharp knife, pierced into Bandrovsky's heart, making his heart tremble and his spine shiver.

"Yes, Comrade Secretary, we have learned about this situation through various channels, and it is basically true."

Bandrovsky had no choice but to respond.

Brezhnev, who was panting like an ox, was so angry that he threw the cup out of his hand again.

"Stupid pig, bastard, why don't you go and find Kihorovsky for me?"

Kihorovsky is an intelligence chief in Moscow’s aerospace industry. When it comes to satellites, he is the right person to contact.

But before Kihorovsky came to report the situation, Bandrovsky had already reported in advance. Could there be some problem in the middle?

However, in fact, Bandrovsky learned the news through different channels, and the source was of course relatively faster.

On the contrary, Kichorowski's side is monitored through satellites, which may not be able to monitor in real time.

Besides, the satellite launch only lasted for a few dozen minutes, so it was quite normal that it was not detected.

After Brezhnev got angry, Kihorovsky quickly came over to report on his work. Indeed, no satellite launches were detected in the east.

So now I can only search again.

At the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and the command headquarters, there was thunderous applause.

Chen Guohua smiled, waved to everyone, explained the matter, gave instructions, and then left.

On the plane back to the capital, Qiu Zongyue told Chen Guohua about the current situation at China Resources and North America.

China Resources is a money bag and cannot be messed with. Chen Guohua must know the general situation, otherwise, something will easily happen.

In March, China Resources had already received a lot of revenue, but compared with the previous year, it was still not much.

While listening to Qiu Zongyue's speech, Chen Guohua checked the newspapers in North America, and suddenly he was attracted by an advertisement.

"Hey, electronic watch?"

In fact, Chen Guohua has been paying attention to products related to electronics for a long time and knows a lot about them.

But not every product is suitable for innovation and making big money.

However, you can consider electronic watches.

It is similar to a pet egg and can definitely blaze a trail among young people.

Although watches are not a novelty, there are even many electronic watches abroad. For example, the earliest swing watch is driven by an electromagnetic balance wheel instead of a spring, and the tuning fork electronic watch is currently relatively popular in North America.

The tuning fork electronic watch was born in North America in 1960. It was an initial attempt to combine electronic technology and precision machining.

The parts processing requirements and assembly and adjustment process of this kind of watch are more difficult than that of mechanical watches, so it is destined to not be popularized and popular.

"what happened?"

Qiu Zongyue, who was interrupted, looked puzzled. It was just a watch. What's the fuss about?
"There is no leader, you continue."

Chen Guohua shook his head, already remembering the electronic watch in his mind.

When the time comes, I will arrange for people to get this thing out when I get back, so that I can make more money and avoid appearing like the leader crying about poverty every day.

There is indeed no money, because there are too many projects, and each one is very expensive.

Be it atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, not to mention missiles, they are all big money burners.

The man-made satellite launched by Chen Guohua and the others just now was also a gold-swallowing behemoth.

If you don't make money, where will you have enough money?

After returning to the capital, Chen Guohua was called to a meeting again, and it was still a meeting that had a lot to do with money.

New railway technology seminar.

Just by listening to the name, you can tell that such a meeting is not simple, not to mention that there were not many people attending the meeting. The biggest and most famous person was Chen Guohua himself.

The others were either half-old acquaintances, Professors Liu Renhuai and Xu Baolong from the Beijing Iron and Steel Institute, several professors from Harbin Institute of Technology, and professors and experts from other universities.

The reason why Chen Guohua said that Liu Renhuai and Xu Baolong were half-old acquaintances was naturally because they had dealt with each other before.

In 1958, Chen Guohua was introduced by Xue Yajun and met Liu Renhuai, who was then a professor at the Beijing Iron and Steel Institute and a part-time automotive researcher at an automotive accessories factory.

As for Professor Xu Baolong, it was in 1959 because of the relationship with the Beijing Steel Plant.

But now, time has changed, and the situation is different when we meet again.

Sitting in the conference room, Chen Guohua did not speak, but listened to the big guy's speech.

The higher authorities attach great importance to railway technology, but there haven't been many opportunities, so they have been taking their time.

For example, Chen Guohua previously proposed improvements in train technology, as well as some suggestions, but the time was not mature at the time, so they were shelved for the time being.

It's different now. Taking advantage of such a technical seminar, Chen Guohua has to mention anything.

After experts such as Liu Renhuai and Xu Baolong expressed their opinions, it was Chen Guohua's turn to speak.

In recent years, the international situation has changed dramatically, and even the mainland has also undergone rapid changes.

With the rapid rise of white glove companies, foreign exchange revenue is also soaring.

Nowadays, only a small amount of foreign products enter the mainland, and many have no way to enter.

On the contrary, a large number of goods are manufactured, then transported to Hong Kong Island through Baiyun City, Jincheng Port and other places, and sold externally through China Resources or white glove companies.

The main reason for the current situation is that the changes are too fast, and everyone has not yet reacted.

Regardless of what foreign capital thinks, the current weird state has been going on for several years. It’s unclear when it will be broken.

Now that money has been made and high-end weapons are gradually being realized, it is time to consider other big projects.

Railway technology has always been criticized, so it was brought up immediately.

When it comes to railway transportation, the technical requirements in this area will definitely not be low, and they must be strictly implemented.

The experts like Liu Renhuai and Xu Baolong just talked about technology based on their past railway construction experience, but Chen Guohua did not.

"Professor Liu just mentioned something. Last year, our country's total steel production was 30.8 million tons."

In the history of the original time and space, the total steel production in 1966 was 15.32 million tons, but in this time and space, it was more than doubled.

The data is totally exploding!

The reason for such a high output, in addition to technological improvements and equipment updates, is that iron ore imported from foreign countries has also increased.

So why does Chen Guohua need to increase steel production?

We are obviously talking about railway technical issues and have little to do with steel production.

But in fact, it is really inseparable from this point.

"Everyone can see the new railway plan I proposed. I have prepared the information on railway technology, or our Zhenhua Research Institute has prepared it."

After hearing what Chen Guohua said before, everyone just felt it was novel. But when they read the next sentence, everyone looked at each other in shock.

Aren't we talking about technology?

Why has your Zhenhua Research Institute already developed the technology?
Then let’s talk about a hammer!

"Now our trains are too slow. They travel more than 40 kilometers per hour on average. Whether it is passengers or cargo transportation, all time is spent on the road."

"Suppose we need to transport bananas, lychees and other fruits that are about to ripen in the south to Beijing. With the current train speed, it will take at least more than a week to do it."

Bananas can also be cut before they are fully ripe, and then preserved with potions to delay their ripening time.

In this way, there is no fear that they will become overripe or rotten during transportation.

But this method is not a good one. The best way is to transport it quickly and not waste too much time.

As for other fruits such as lychees, and some fruits that cannot be squeezed, these are very sensitive to time and transportation.

Therefore, the new railway plan proposed by Chen Guohua is to change all this status quo.

"Director Chen, according to your plan, can we really achieve the target of a train speed of 180 kilometers per hour?"

Liu Renhuai pointed to the data on the plan and asked with some disbelief.

As early as the 212s and s abroad, Italy's ETR electric locomotive set a speed record of kilometers per hour.

This was the fastest and most comfortable electrified mainline railway in Europe at the time, and was also considered the earliest high-speed railway.

But these technologies are blocked by foreign countries. How can they be available in China?

For example, power dispersion, AC power supply, seamless rails, ballastless tracks, CTC centralized dispatching, AC transmission, air springs, high-speed bogies, ATC signaling technology, tilting trains, streamlined bodies, etc., are all new technologies.

Liu Renhuai and the others only knew some terms from newspapers, but they were also confused about the specific techniques.

Now the plan that Chen Guohua has come up with says that such technology can be realized, and that their Zhenhua Research Institute is ready. Is there anything wrong?

"Professor Liu, as long as we work together, we can definitely achieve it."

Chen Guohua smiled, took over the conversation, and continued:

"The plan is actually very detailed. Technology is not a big issue. The problem is the training of technical personnel, funding, etc."

The mainland seems to be lacking everything, but in fact it is lacking everything.

It seems that I have made a lot of money, but there are too many places where the money is needed, and there is simply not enough.

There is a large population, but too many fish slip through the net of compulsory education. Others have holes in fishing nets as big as needles, but ours is a broken net that can leak out big boats. How can we compare?
There are so many gaps that it can't be just a plan.

Liu Renhuai, Xu Baolong and others were stunned and nodded silently, not knowing how to react.

The saying "technology is not a big problem" can hit everyone hard.

Over the years, everyone has heard more or less about the existence of Zhenhua Research Institute, but it is only a scale, and it is impossible to get a full picture.

But now, everyone was shocked by Chen Guohua's little trick.

When Chen Guohua and others were meeting, they were in Downing Street, London, Great Britain.

Harland Wilson returned to his office after an exhausted meeting. Not long after he sat down, there was a knock on the door.

Busy business!

"There are workers in London going on strike again? Because of wage issues? Those capitalists in Falk are stupid, greedy fat pigs."

"Why haven't these companies moved out yet? I remember five years ago, didn't Macmillan order them to move out? Faak, if you continue like this, those environmentalists will cause trouble again."

"Huh? More than thirty people can die while watching a football match? Someone is driving drunk and deliberately crashes into the crowd?"

After hearing these things, Wilson felt that it was better to go back and quarrel with those congressmen. Although the quarrel would be very tiring, at least it would not be like now, where there were so many things and it was very cumbersome.

It doesn’t work if you don’t pay attention.

Just because everything has the potential to cause serious problems.

After Hadrow Wilson finished dealing with these matters, another piece of bad news came: Another artificial satellite was successfully launched in the East.

"What are you talking about? The satellite they sent into space this time weighs more than five tons? How is this possible?"

Suddenly, Wilson exclaimed.

Sending a five-ton satellite into space means that rocket technology in the East has advanced by leaps and bounds.

"Yes, according to our intelligence, it is indeed the case. How about we exchange intelligence with the North American side and confirm it again?"

Hearing his subordinate's words, Hadrow Wilson suddenly shook his head and continued:

"It's not necessary. Even if Dongfang doesn't do this now, the difference won't be very far, alas."

"When will the satellite of our British Empire be sent to the sky?"

Unless there is an exchange of technology and interests with North America, in the short term, Great Britain will no longer have this dream.

Sending a satellite into the sky is a big deal.

Currently, there are only four countries that can do this.

"Send more people to Moscow and the East. I want to get their technology."

Hadrow Wilson's face flashed with a stern expression and he said viciously.

"As you wish, Mr. Prime Minister, this is a good opportunity for us at the moment, but we need funds."

wipe!
Wilson immediately looked at his subordinates fiercely, "Stupid fat pigs, don't you know how to complete the mission on your own? You know how to ask for money every time, but when will you give me a satisfactory answer to the mission?"

Without credit, he would be embarrassed to speak out at a meeting.

The reality is that there is no money. The empire is a giant ship that needs to spend money everywhere, and it also costs a lot of money.

Just some time ago, he mentioned reducing the cost of deploying red beards in the Far East. Even before it was decided, someone had already started discussing how to spend the saved money.

So, everyone is not a fool, everyone is short of money.

The cake is only so big. If others share more, it means you have to share less.

Whether they are capitalists, nobles, or ordinary people, they can eat anything, but they cannot suffer losses!
When the cake cannot be made bigger, but suddenly there is an extra piece of cake, who doesn’t want to take a bite?
After scolding his subordinates, Hadrow Wilson rubbed his temples and felt that if he continued to do this, he would probably die soon.

Why is it that others can do everything smoothly, but he is so frustrated?
But he didn't want to think about it, why did Macmillan resign in the first place?
Is it really just his health and Profumo's extramarital scandal with the singing and dancing actress Christine?

More often than not, I was in this position, working hard and not everything went smoothly, so I became sick due to overwork and had to resign in the end.

Although Hadrow Wilson feels that he is still very young and can definitely stay in this position for many years, but who knows?

Time flies like water, and it’s already May in a blink of an eye.

The International Congress of Mathematicians in Moscow was held as scheduled, but the number of mathematicians who went to Moscow was indeed not as good as the more than 4,000 people in the original time and space, only more than 1,000 people were present.

Most of them come here to receive awards or join in the fun, and the rest are local mathematics researchers in Moscow.

Interestingly, Chen Guohua did not go to Moscow to attend the conference, but sent Vanioco to help receive the award.

It’s just that!

Vanio is from Muscovite. She is a female Ph.D. and professor of mathematics in Moscow, and she is also a beautiful woman.

From a twenty-year-old blooming girl, she suddenly became a twenty-seven-year-old mature female professor. The key is that she is still single.

Even if she was single, she actually turned towards Chen Guohua and rebelled!
It was as if she was now a devout believer in the Emperor of Mathematics, and she would only devote her life to mathematics.

There was almost no suspense. Chen Guohua won the Fields Medal again. No one seemed very surprised by this result.

Perhaps, it would be the most surprising thing if Chen Guohua did not win the award.

It stands to reason that with Chen Guohua's current status in the mathematics community, he does not need a Fields Medal to prove it.

Even now that Chen Guohua can win this award, it is the honor of this award.

Of course, this is the idea of ​​a small number of people. Everyone still gave Chen Guohua applause, but it was a pity that he did not come.

Vanioko took away the Fields Medal awarded to Chen Guohua.

Also accepting the award with her were Grothendieck, Michael Atiyah and Paul Cohen. These were no different from what everyone had guessed before winning the award.

Except for Wanioko, who accepted the award on his behalf, the other three people were very qualified to win the award, without any trace of moisture.

After receiving the award, Grothendieck and the others actually returned to the capital and did not go anywhere else. It seems that they really have to stay in the capital for a while.

On the other side, Gelfand and the others couldn't help but feel sad when they saw that the conference was not as lively as before.

This was obviously a conference in Moscow, but in the end it was snatched away by Chen Guohua. Who could I ask to reason with?

Beijing, Cuihua Hutong.

"Sisi, do you miss dad? Look what dad bought you?"

As soon as he got off the bus today, Chen Guohua picked up Chen Si who was waiting for him at the door, kissed her little face, and then took out an object wrapped in oil paper with a smile, placed it in front of her and said seductively.

The little guy sniffed lightly and immediately smelled a very sweet and delicious smell, and he suddenly smiled:

"Dad, I know, this is roast duck, right? Dad, how did you know that I want to eat roast duck? It's really good."

Chen Si was so happy. This was roast duck. She hadn't eaten it for a while, so naturally she was so excited that she was so greedy!
"Dad, I want to eat roast duck too"

In the courtyard, Chen Wei ran out belatedly, looking anxious as if he was afraid that his sister would finish eating.

"Don't worry, we all have a share."

Overjoyed, Chen Guohua smiled and hugged Chen Wei again, but he almost lost his strength.

In fact, Chen Guohua was still in his prime, and his hands were quite strong, but he couldn't hold Chen Wei, who was already six years old.

A six-year-old child grows older quickly in height and weight.

What's more, Chen Guohua is still holding the child Chen Si in his arms, so it's normal for him to almost lose his strength.

"Brother, why did you suddenly buy roast duck today?"

Chen Xiaomei came out and helped him take away the roast duck and the two little guys.

In the room, Chen Guohua took out the gold medal from the Fields Medal, as well as the RMB cash converted from the fifteen hundred Canadian dollars.

This is honest money, and it is not easy to come by, so it should be spent.

Only then did the family realize that he had won another award. No wonder they bought roast duck to celebrate.

"Then I'll call your sixth and seventh sisters and ask their families to come back and celebrate together."

When Old Chen heard this, he immediately encouraged.

Only when Wei Yumin and Gui Zhiting's two sons-in-law came back could Chen Gonglu have a chance to drink. Otherwise, it would be difficult.

For a person who doesn't drink or have fun, of course he has to drink to celebrate when he encounters such a happy event.

"Dad, look over there."

Chen Guohua nuzzled at him. Lao Chen didn't know that Yun Wanchang was in that direction, so he could only be discouraged.

However, Lao Chen soon smiled again, because Chen Lihua and Gui Zhiting's family were here today.

Even Lu Jiaxi and Chen Xiaoyue came.

Lu Jiaxi and Chen Xiaoyue were in April. They all sat down to have a meal together, and that was how the wedding was held.

The main reason is that Lu Jiaxi has no relatives or friends in the capital. Apart from Chen Guohua, he really doesn't know many people.

As for Erdesh and others, they have only been here for half a year and are not very familiar with them.

Just because everyone gets together to talk more about academic topics rather than gossiping about family affairs.

Therefore, after Lu Jiaxi and Chen Xiaoyue obtained evidence, they came back to Cuihua Hutong for a meal, and the marriage was concluded.

It's really as simple as you want. There are so many big things like that, and you don't even need a betrothal gift.

On the contrary, Chen Guohua also posted a bicycle.

Lao Lu moved to the capital at the end of last year. He didn't have a bicycle yet, but now he has a bicycle.

My job was stable, I had a wife, and I suddenly reached the peak of my life.

To be honest, Lu Jiaxi is very grateful to Chen Guohua. If it weren't for the latter, he would still be at Bao No. 24 Middle School, working hard, unable to realize his ideals, and his life would be full of gloom.

With so many guests at home, the dining table in the evening was of course very lively.

The happiest people are Lao Chen, Chen Wei and Chen Si. Lao Chen is an old kid. If he has wine to drink, he can do anything.

As for the two little guys, Chen Wei and Chen Si, they had delicious roast duck and friends of the same age, so they were very excited.

Gui Zhiting and Chen Lihua gave birth to a baby named Gui Zhenbo in August 1963.

The little guy is also three years old, so he can play with Chen Si and the others.

"Lao Lu, you should pay more attention to your health in the future and don't stay up late all the time."

At the dinner table, Chen Guohua glanced at the little kid chasing and playing, and persuaded Lu Jiaxi again.

The latter nodded and was about to speak when Chen Xiaoyue had already spoken:

"Brother, don't worry. He goes to bed on time at ten o'clock every day. I won't let him go to bed after ten o'clock."

Oh!
The big guy nodded, and Chen Guohua said nothing more.

After all, Lu Jiaxi's previous living situation was really worrying.

What's more, he also went to see a doctor. The doctor suggested that he should stay up less late and pay attention to a regular life.

Chen Guohua was also worried about his sister's future family.

However, while the adults were chatting happily, the two youngest babies, Chen Xi and An, started to make noise again for some unknown reason.

For a time, the family was in a state of chaos again.

The two children, Chen Wei and Chen Si, stopped playing and ran over to help their parents. They were well-behaved and sensible.

Especially Chen Wei, he can help change the pants of his two younger brothers and sisters.

While the family was busy, far away in North America, Chen Yuanchao started another busy day.

Since the acquisition of the stores and hardware stores owned by the Bryan family, there was really no big move at the beginning, but in less than half a month, various moves followed one after another.

The first is to recruit a large number of waiters, management, etc., and require at least three months of training. Only after passing the training can you get the salary above the recruitment requirements.

The second is to spend money to build logistics stations, giving priority to the Boston area, New York and other surrounding cities.

There is also the need to prepare funds, and then you will have to acquire other stores or build your own supermarket stores.

According to the Qianduoduo Supermarket plan submitted by Chen Guohua, from the beginning, brands such as Bryan Store will be slowly cleared and become Qianduoduo Supermarket stores.

There will definitely not be many stores in the beginning. There are currently eighty-six Bryan stores alone.

But among the eighty-six stores, few can become large supermarkets.

Therefore, these stores can only be used as convenience stores, not supermarkets.

"I was obviously sent here to perform a mission, but now I am asked to make money? How can I make money as a minor?"

In the office, Chen Yuanchao sighed inwardly, but he was forced to get to work on time.

People grow up slowly in such an environment. Maybe some people can grow up overnight, but there are relatively few such people.

For Chen Yuanchao, although he is only seventeen years old now, he is old enough to sign up to join the army, which means that he is also a man.

And he has received news from China that he is going to be a father.

Obviously he is still a child, but in the end he is going to be the child's father.

Of course, he was more happy, expectant, and perseverant than at a loss.

"BOSS, it's a senior management meeting soon."

The secretary is an elite sent from the capital. Needless to say his identity, there is absolutely no problem.

"Okay, I'll go over now." Chen Yuanchao nodded, his face showing maturity and stability that was completely inconsistent with his young and immature face, and he walked out of the office firmly.

In the conference room, foreigners such as Karl Bryan, Mevlut, and Furstenberg were all present.

"BOSS!"

Seeing Chen Yuanchao walking in, each of these foreigners stood up to say hello to the former with complicated expressions, expressionless faces, or flattering faces.

No matter what these foreigners are thinking in their hearts, Chen Yuanchao is the most powerful person in the entire company now.

There is no way. The largest meeting of the company should be the shareholders' meeting, but shareholders' meetings are rarely or almost never held.

The board of directors will be formed after the shareholders meeting, and none of the board members who have appeared so far are all agents.

This shows how mysterious the shareholders behind this company are.

The only top management recognized by the board of directors is Chen Yuanchao. From the fact that he is equipped with five bodyguards, it can be seen that he is probably a descendant of a wealthy family who came out to gain experience.

However, no one has ever heard of such an awesome Chinese family.

However, after being in contact with him for a long time, Carl Bryan and others will realize that Chen Yuanchao's own talent may not be the best, but the decisions he makes every time are the most appropriate.

Just this is very scary.

Based on this, even if Mevlut and others were dissatisfied, they could only accept defeat.

After the Bryan family's industry was acquired, Carl Bryan was not kicked out of the management, and he was even promoted.

I have to admit that Carl Bryan also has merits at the management level, otherwise Bryan's store would not have such revenue.

Although the annual revenue of each store is 780,000 US dollars, which Chen Guohua looks down upon, in this era, it is already considered very good.

In addition to fancying the strength of people like Carl Bryan, the most important thing is their skin.

Since it is a white glove enterprise, how to better hide the identity of shareholders is particularly important.

When Qianduoduo Supermarket Company is upgraded to a group, or even a multinational group, the interest chain will become extremely huge.

In other words, it will be more difficult for those gangsters or competitors to check their background.

Some people may guess, but as long as they are not hammered to death, it is not a big problem.

What's more, when this interest group reaches a certain level, people like Carl Bryan will already be die-hard members. After all, they will definitely gain a lot of benefits by then.

Therefore, in the early days, it was impossible for all members to be Chinese or obviously from the mainland.

As for whether interested people will start investigating from Chen Yuanchao, he first appeared on Hong Kong Island, and there are no traces of him elsewhere.

But this is irrelevant.

Since the emergence of China Resources Corporation, the most famous person is Comrade Tang Dake.

Comrade Tang Dake also worked alone at the beginning, following Howard to Hong Kong Island, and then became an agent of China Resources Company, earning his first pot of gold.

Therefore, many young people go to Hong Kong Island to go gold hunting. It is already a craze and there is nothing strange about it.

"Sit down, everyone, don't be so formal, guys, we are here to make money, not begging."

Chen Yuanchao took control of the audience, followed the methods his uncle told him, showed a confident smile, and said in a calm tone:
"Okay, everyone is not nervous anymore, right? Come, let's talk about the next work arrangements."

The opening of Qianduoduo Supermarket takes time. At this stage, we can only deal with Bryan's store, which is a convenience store.

The convenience store is named Sunshine Convenience Store, which is simple and easy to remember.

After making arrangements for the Sunshine Convenience Store, the next step is the Qianduoduo Supermarket.

It currently needs to build two stores in New York and five in Boston and other places, for a total of seven stores.

It may not seem like much, but the investment is not small.

In order to prevent a shortage of funds, Chen Yuanchao could only open seven stores first.

Fortunately, trading companies and service companies can still earn a lot of money, so there will be no financial pressure.

The Qianduoduo supermarket plan is basically based on Wal-Mart Supermarket as a template and aims at the lowest profit margin to create a high-quality and low-priced supermarket service experience.

All product prices will be lower than equivalent products on the market, with the goal of small profits but quick turnover.

Listening to these slogans, Carl Bryan and others didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that Chen Yuanchao was trying to bluff people again, that is, he was short of weight.

However, when they saw clearly the appendix tables such as product categories, purchase prices, retail prices, etc., they were immediately dumbfounded.

Among them, Festenberg couldn't help but interrupt:
"BOSS, are the prices you mentioned too low? For example, the retail price of an advanced Huaxing digital SLR is only US$5,599? Even if China Resources allows it, other shopping malls in North America will not allow it. Scold us to death?”

The advanced Huaxing digital SLR was a product launched in March last year. At that time, the wholesale price was US$4,999 and the retail price was US$5,999.

Last year, it was indeed popular for a while, but now it is already May of 1966, and it has long lost its original popularity.

It is normal to reduce prices, but currently no agent is willing to take the initiative to reduce prices.

If Qianduoduo Supermarket suddenly offers such a price at this time, it will definitely offend its peers.

At this time, Mevlut also spoke:

"Yes, BOSS, there is also the price of rice, flour, grains and oils in the appendix. Our profit per bag of flour is only US$0.02? Isn't this too little? After deducting the cost of labor, water, electricity, etc., It’s a problem for us to pay taxes.”

"I suggest you, Boss, think about it again. Such a price is simply not profitable for our supermarket."

Even Carl Bryan, who had run a retail store, expressed solemnly that he did not understand.

Indeed, according to the plan proposed by Chen Yuanchao, there is no way to make any money at all.

What's more, many of the prices are indeed too low.

When Chen Yuanchao heard this, he just smiled:

"Everyone, I am not discussing this with you, but asking you to implement it. Instead of worrying about whether the company can afford to pay you, you should think about how to ensure that your jobs are not taken away."

"Also, we are running a company, not a charity. Even if we can't make any money, the board of directors will be the first to trouble me, not you."

"Besides, you guys only know how to sit in a well and look at the sky. You don't know how to go out and take a look. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been around for so many years and it would only be this little achievement."

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. Regardless of whether you can understand it or not, you will strictly follow what I say. If there are any discounts, I will tell you to get out. Do you understand?"

Facing Chen Yuanchao who suddenly became so powerful, Carl Bryan, Firstenberg, Mevlut and others nodded.

It’s hard not to give in, but who makes the salary of this job very attractive?
In this way, Qianduoduo Supermarket slowly started to promote itself in this atmosphere.

In Lyndon Johnson's office in Washington, there was another scene where the heads of several departments were sitting together for a meeting.

Meetings are held every two days. This is the norm here and part of their job.

"Sir, everyone, we have investigated clearly. The artificial satellite launched by Dongfang some time ago has a total mass of 5.67 tons. The overall data level has almost caught up with us."

Lyndon Johnson, Dean Rusk, Douglas Dillon and others all listened to Van de Graaff of the Bureau of Aerospace Industries describing the situation.

In today's era, the demand for satellite applications is still expanding, which means that the requirements for launch vehicle capabilities are also increasing.

Just because the mass of the satellite increases, the launch vehicle must have enough power to push the satellite into the sky. Otherwise, it is pure nonsense.

As for the Eastern side, they only launched their first satellite last year, but now they can launch a satellite weighing five tons in May?

This rate of progress is indeed terrifying.

"If we also take into account the more advanced computer technology and material technology in the East, then the function of the satellite they launched will be even more powerful, far surpassing ours in North America and Moscow."

If there is not much difference in size and weight, if someone has more advanced technology, they can indeed do better.
