The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 362, Congestion Salute No. (please vote for me)
"Three Brothers Supermarket? United Supermarket? Broadway Supermarket? Dongcheng Supermarket? What the hell are these?"

In the director's office, Chen Guohua looked at the newspapers in front of him and said speechlessly.

But Qiu Zongyue, who was sitting opposite him, shook his head and said:

"Although their names are not very good, the capital behind these supermarkets cannot be underestimated. Each supermarket has sufficient funds, and they have carried out mergers and acquisitions from the beginning. They have made great moves."

In a word, Qianduoduo Supermarket is in danger if it is coming fiercely!
Chen Guohua smiled:
"Leader, I am really not boasting. Now Qianduoduo Supermarket has formed a large scale. Even if people like Morgan Consortium and Mellon Consortium want to personally participate, it will be difficult to defeat Qianduoduo Supermarket."

"At most, competitors like Three Brothers Supermarket will slightly reduce the revenue data of Qianduoduo Supermarket, and that's it. Otherwise, it will be impossible to happen."

Not to mention, Chen Guohua is really not worried.

The number of Qianduoduo supermarkets in the world is approaching 700, with more than 500 in North America alone.

With so many supermarket stores, the scale effect is almost formed.

Logistics costs, labor costs, etc. are very, very low, so as long as there is no vicious competition, Qianduoduo Supermarket is almost invincible.

Enterprises such as Three Brothers Supermarket, at most, use their own financial advantages to quickly build scale at the beginning, and will offer heavy discounts to pass on profits to consumers.

The act of using money to buy the market is nothing new for capitalists.

What's more, even if you spend money now, according to the principle that wool comes from the sheep, the money will definitely be recovered through consumers in the future.

However, compared with Qianduoduo Supermarket, competitors such as Three Brothers Supermarket have all disadvantages except for their financial advantage.

Therefore, Chen Guohua really has nothing to worry about with the emergence of these competitors.

"Are you so confident? Aren't you afraid that they will suddenly flip the table?"

Qiu Zongyue raised his eyebrows and asked, his expression full of curiosity. Chen Guohua shook his head and said:
"Even if they want to flip the table, they have to ask Richard Milhouse if he wants to do it."

Nowadays, the biggest talisman of Qianduoduo Supermarket is definitely Richard Milhouse in North America, not the Morgan family and other consortiums.

Starting from Kennedy, the social form of big squad leader and small capital has changed, but even so, it is still big squad leader and small capital.

If capital wants to control more, there is still a long way to go.

Qianduoduo Supermarket is not only a company with huge revenue and profits, it is also a labor-intensive enterprise that can provide many jobs and tax revenue for the local area.

Although there is no way to collect the current taxes, after all, Qianduoduo Supermarket has only been established a few years ago, and there are still too many places where taxes can be deducted and exempted.

In addition, Qianduoduo Supermarket is still in the process of expansion and requires a huge amount of funds. There will be no 'profit' on paper at all, so it is a bit difficult to collect taxes.

But even so, Qianduoduo Supermarket is still a North American company. No matter what, it will always make a profit and will always need to pay taxes.

Even if no taxes are paid, the number of job opportunities provided every year is what leaders want to see most.

Not to mention that it was the early 1970s, not long after Richard took office, and the problem of unemployment was still severe.

Therefore, we will definitely be more tolerant of companies like Qianduoduo Supermarket that can provide more employment opportunities.

Finally, Qianduoduo Supermarket is one of the North American food giants designated by Richard Milhouse. If there is any problem with it, it will inevitably affect his "foreign policy of food as a weapon."

This is definitely not a scene that Richard Milhouse wants to see, so as long as Lannister Morgan and the others dare to overturn the table, that Richard Milhouse will definitely kick them out first.

Besides, even if Lannister Morgan and the others really want to overturn the table, is there really nothing Qianduoduo Supermarket can do?

Of course, Chen Guohua could not be so naive and put all his hopes on others. He could not do anything like sitting back and waiting for death.

"So you mean we can just wait and see what happens?"

Hearing Qiu Zongyue's question, Chen Guohua smiled and nodded, then shook his head and said:

"You can ignore those supermarket competitors, but we have to give them a heads up on Donald Duck Mobile."

Patent plagiarism!

In any case, the Donald Duck mobile phone is indeed suspected of patent plagiarism, so no matter what, it is right to take the other party to court.

China Resources has already collected a lot of evidence, so this is the most appropriate time to take action.

Regardless of which side the North American courts favor, China Resources is justified in this matter.

In addition, we have to deal with the issue of sharing signal base stations between Donald Duck mobile phones and PHS mobile phones.

Don't they think the base stations provided by China Resources are very useful, so they can create some trouble for them through satellites.

As long as it causes signal traffic congestion, it will definitely be enough for Sony and others to drink.

At the beginning, Lannister Morgan and other big capitalists took 82% of the profits from Sony, leaving only 18% of the profits for Sony.

Now comes retribution!

Chen Guohua is already dead. How long can greedy capitalists like the Morgan Consortium hold on?

Regarding these crooked ideas put forward by Chen Guohua, Qiu Zongyue gave a thumbs up: Although they are despicable, I like them very much.

As Chen Guohua's plan began to be implemented, there was a sudden cry in North America.

The first was Donald Duck Technology, which was sued for infringement by China Resources, causing a stir and the stock price plummeted again.

Everyone across the country knows that the former myth of New York's wealth turned out to be nothing more than a joke.

Plagiarism clown!
Despicable infringers!
Ungrateful villain!
The media were all one-sided. Although some media spoke for Tang Dake, there were not many.

Looking at Comrade Tang Dake's past, it can almost be said that he relied on China Resources to reach his current position step by step.

The result was a backhand infringement of China Resources' patent, even though China Resources did not register a company in North America, and many companies such as IBM and Texas Instruments had even copied it before.

But these companies are relatively low-key, unlike Donald Duck Technology, which is too public.

So now that we are beating up the lost dog, the trend has been formed all of a sudden, and there is no way to change the overall situation.

In fact, there are many people from McKinsey who believe that China Resources is just an Eastern company, so why is it so turbulent in North America?

And it is still targeting their North American companies, which is even more inappropriate.

Unfortunately, there are relatively few North Americans who adhere to McKinsey, not to mention that patents are a big deal, and everything else can be given way.

Not to mention that although China Resources is an Eastern company, it is a world-famous large company, even if North America can block the media and control public opinion.

But what about the outside world?
Moscow, Europe, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong Island and other places will definitely report this matter vigorously. Will Donald Duck Technology Company be disgraced by then?
The most important thing is Lannister Morgan and other big capitalists. They are all vested interests and naturally side with China Resources.

With their acquiescence, those media are so 'rampant'.

Otherwise, next time, if China Resources Corporation does not allow people like the Morgan Consortium to join the company, it will not be able to make any money by then.

After this battle, everyone realized one thing: the rise of the East was too rapid!

Although the court has not made a ruling yet, off the court, Donald Duck Technology has already lost a mess.

Comrade Tang Dake, who was so scolded that he ran away in panic, has not appeared in public for half a month. He probably went on vacation somewhere to avoid all these troubles, right?

The second thing is that Sony has received a large number of complaint calls every day in the past half a month.

Many people even went directly to the communications business hall to cause trouble, causing the business halls to be unable to operate normally, and many business halls were forced to close their doors.

Just because PHS phones and Donald Duck phones all have a signal problem.

Especially Donald Duck's mobile phone has almost no signal at all and cannot make calls.

Even text message notifications such as weather forecasts and financial stock information that arrive on time every day are either delayed or not received at all.

In short, there are many problems, which makes users miserable.

In response to this problem, Akio Morita even personally came to Hong Kong Island and found Song Xuexian, the general manager of China Resources Corporation, and asked him to solve the problem.

But the latter retorted directly:

"The base stations we built have already been announced. On average, all base stations in North America can accommodate 150 million mobile phone users."

"There are currently not that many PHS mobile phone users in North America. Our company has all this data."

"There is a problem now. We have to prove that it is a technical problem with our base station."

"But according to the random inspections of the technical staff we sent to North America, it has nothing to do with us, but the situation on your side. First, the users are too crowded and concentrated. But you didn't listen to us at the beginning. The base station signal When installing, you guys have your own ideas."

"Second, there are too many signal waves on your side. This is also the main reason, which leads to such a situation."

Being retorted by Song Preface, Akio Morita was also speechless.

After a long time, he begged, is there really no other solution?

"Yes, but you will definitely not agree, so I won't bother to say it."

Song Preface simply rolled his eyes, but he successfully aroused Akio Morita's curiosity.

Under the latter's constant questioning, Song Preface directly stated that wouldn't this problem be solved by adding more base stations?
Akio Morita's smile suddenly solidified: Add more base stations? Isn’t this just about continuing to increase investment?

The actual situation now is that PHS mobile phones are still very popular and are always out of stock.

You must know that the current Majuqiao Industrial Park has lasted for several months and has a production capacity of 30 million mobile phones.

Such a huge output, but still in short supply, shows how much the market likes PHS mobile phones.

In fact, this is normal. After all, the PHS mobile phone is too cheap, and it is a relatively mature and advanced electronic product with serious problems such as call quality and signal.

For many consumers, as long as their finances are relatively reasonable, they will definitely buy one.

The popularity of PHS mobile phones is so fast, but for Sony, it is not a good thing.

First, the call cost per minute was previously increased to US$1.5, but the annual communication service fee has been reduced to US$899.

It’s just that the number of consumers who choose this annual service has not experienced explosive growth, but has only increased by a few million.

Both of them are now experiencing signal problems with call congestion, which has stumped Sony.

The PHS mobile phone was launched in 1966. Since 1967, Sony has been able to recoup more than 30 billion U.S. dollars every year. In other words, it only takes about four years for them to recover the cost. It was taken back.

It is now September 1970, which means that the cost has almost been recovered this year.

As a result, another problem was encountered, and Sony needed to invest huge amounts of money again to solve this signal base station problem.

How to do?
If the cost increases again, will Lannister Morgan and others agree?
Anyway, Akio Morita's good mood was completely gone.

"Is there no way to solve this problem from a technical level?" Akio Morita asked with some reluctance.

“I also want to have better technology that can allow nearly one million people to communicate smoothly in the signal coverage area of ​​several base stations during the peak period.”

Song Xuexian rolled his eyes. Everyone knows this truth, but if such technology really existed, wouldn't it cost money?

How funny!

I'm afraid if such technology really existed, Sony wouldn't be willing to pay for it.

After all, this kind of technology is absolutely shockingly expensive.

Akio Morita came to Hong Kong Island angrily, and finally left in despair.

China Resources is not easy to communicate with, or it is impossible to take advantage of China Resources.

Before, they wanted to bribe investigators from China Resources Company, but as a result, China Resources Company sent many people over, which was not something their capital society could corrupt.

In this regard, Akio Morita was often questioned by Song Preface.

After returning to New York, Akio Morita communicated this matter with Lannister Morgan and the others.

Naturally, there was opposition.

They definitely like making money, but forget about the things that cost them money.

But the problem lies here, and this problem will affect Sony and its revenue over time.

After several days of meetings, the capitalists were forced to do nothing. No matter how tough they were, they had to pay this time.

If this problem is not solved, their income will still be affected.

Even if tens of thousands more base stations need to be built this time, there is no other way and this money must be spent.

In this wave, China Resources once again earned more than 10 billion US dollars, which can be said to be a huge profit.

Similar problems soon appeared in other places such as Europe and Tokyo, and the solutions were the same.

After all, there are more than 300 million PHS mobile phone users worldwide, and almost all of these users are concentrated in cities and towns, with almost none in rural areas.

In rural areas, only rich people buy mobile phones.

After all, mobile phones are most suitable for rural areas.

The PHS mobile phone signal problem some time ago actually caused the sales of Big Brother mobile phones to skyrocket, which is also strange.

Maybe it’s because of signal problems that panic consumers?
In addition, PHS mobile phones still have a big signal distance defect after all. They can only be used in urban areas and cannot be used in other places outside urban areas.

On the other hand, there is no such worry for Big Brother phones. Coupled with the signal congestion problem this time, it is normal for the sales of Big Brother phones to skyrocket.

Economically developed areas such as Europe and Tokyo have all experienced signal congestion problems, which indeed allowed China Resources to make a lot of money again.

As a result, Qiu Zongyue looked at the revenue and couldn't help but want to suggest to Chen Guohua that there should be no signal congestion problem again?
In order to make money, Qiu Zongyue also became a qualified capitalist.

Fortunately, he stopped his greedy thoughts in time, otherwise, he might really be laughed at by Chen Guohua.

In September, China Resources Company, in addition to dealing with these things, also held a new product launch conference, but there were still no new products, just toothpaste.

Another thing happened in September 1970, that is, Moscow launched the Lunar 16 probe.

This is the first probe in human history to automatically sample samples on the moon and send them back to the earth. Its successful launch saved some face for Moscow, which was lagging behind in the moon race.

After this incident, many people in the mainland had their thoughts wandering.

After all, the aerospace capabilities of Moscow and Washington are still too strong.

Chen Guohua didn't feel anything about this, so he used unmanned instruments to bring the lunar soil back to Earth. So what?
If you have the ability to build a large particle collider on the moon, it would be to develop the moon, refine the ores and other materials on it, and supply it to the earth or build a survival base on the moon.

Anyway, as far as the current Apollo moon landings and the lunar probe built by Moscow are concerned, in Chen Guohua's view, they are just rip-offs with no practical use.

Regardless of the turmoil from the outside world, Chen Guohua himself works seriously. He takes vacations when he needs to and works hard when he needs to.

Anyway, he would never do something like staying up all night that was not good for his health.

In November 1970, Moscow once again launched Luna 17 towards the moon. This time Moscow achieved its goal of being the first space probe to drive a vehicle on other forms in human history.

In short, it sounds very powerful, but in fact it is useless.

Quietly, 1970 passed by like this.

Fast forward to 1971, Qiu Zongyue came to see Chen Guohua once a week without speaking or disturbing the latter.

Anyway, just came to take a look.

Mainly because I was stimulated by Moscow.

People in Moscow are launching probes into space one after another, but on the mainland, there has been no movement. This is not possible.

No matter what, there must be some movement, right?

Chen Guohua turned a blind eye to this. He only focused on his own affairs and was too lazy to discuss these meaningless matters with Qiu Zongyue and the others.

The plan for the Nantianmen Space Station has been determined very early and cannot be changed due to external factors.

Only one experimental module will be launched this year, and the core module will be launched next year.

So there's not much to say.

When the core module is about to go up, it also means that it is time for the manned space launch mission.

After all, the core module cannot go to outer space without astronauts.

Since May 1969, the Astronaut Training Center has begun training 80 reserve astronauts, which lasted two and a half years.

In other words, by the end of 1971, the two-and-a-half-year astronaut training program was over.

The manned space launch plan will be launched at the beginning of 2072, and then one after another will be launched into space. Of course, all this must be based on the fact that there are no problems, otherwise, the plan will definitely be postponed.

This was probably the plan, but on April 17, 1971, Qiu Zongyue hurriedly found Chen Guohua.

"Guohua, there is bad news now. Moscow plans to launch the Salyut-1 space station two days later, on the 19th."

"Oh, just launch it, what does it have to do with us?"

Chen Guohua really didn't care, and this time, according to the history of the original time and space, a big accident would happen in Moscow.

Therefore, he will only be more cautious, and has even prepared corresponding chicken soup for this incident. He will give everyone a few bowls to drink to keep the whole body smooth.

When Qiu Zongyue heard this, he was immediately stunned.

He immediately felt relieved and said:

"That's right, other people's launches are their business and have nothing to do with us."

There's no use knowing the information, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Apart from just staring and making yourself unhappy, there's really no benefit to it.

That being the case, what's there to care about?

So, Qiu Zongyue turned around and left without disturbing Chen Guohua any more.

On April 19, Salyut-1 was launched into Earth orbit unmanned.

Four days later, the astronaut team officially set off.

That is, on April 23, the Soyuz 10 spacecraft was launched from Baikonur. On board this spacecraft were Vladimir Shatalov, Alexey Eliseyev and Nikol. Lalu Kavishnikov three cosmonauts.

Neither Eliseev nor Rukavishnikov is a soldier. The latter actually graduated from the Moscow Institute of Engineering Physics. During his three months on the Salyut-1 space station, he was required to deal with engineering problems and conduct scientific experiments. .

Unfortunately, due to the very hasty preparation of the Salyut-1 space station, many tests were not completed before it was launched in a hurry.

So, something unexpected happened.

The Soyuz 10 spacecraft docked successfully with the Salyut 1 space station, but it turned out that the designers did not foresee the need to shut down the Soyuz 10 spacecraft's docking and positioning control engine.

As a result, the engine began to correct the movement of the cabin while ignoring the docking of the space station, causing the docking to deform.

Making further connections impossible.

At the same time, the docking could not be interrupted because the deformed spacecraft fuselage could not come out of Salyut-1.

Originally, the spacecraft could be interrupted, but in this case, it would remain in the docking equipment of the space station, making it impossible for other spacecraft to dock on the Salyut-1 space station.

After going through a series of difficulties, it was Rukavishnikov and his three cosmonauts who manually assembled a replacement circuit for escape.

Five and a half hours later, the Soyuz 10 spacecraft and the Salyut 1 space station finally separated successfully.

And on the same day, the Soyuz 10 spacecraft returned to Earth, and this was the first night landing in history.

Although Alliance No. 10 had a lucky escape this time, no one expected that the trouble had just begun.

"They didn't succeed?"

In an office located at the Astronaut Training Center on the outskirts of Beijing, Qiu Zongyue came here and talked with Chen Guohua, who was teaching astronauts here, about the Soyuz No. 10 spacecraft.

"Isn't it normal to not succeed?"

Chen Guohua didn't even raise his head, he lowered his head and continued to correct his homework.

There are not many courses for astronauts, and homework must be handed in on the spot.

In order to allow astronauts to handle any emergencies smoothly while in space, Chen Guohua also arranged as many tasks as possible.

For example, the docking problem between the Soyuz 10 spacecraft and Salyut 1 this time. Although this is entirely a problem for the space station and spacecraft designers, as astronauts, they have to deal with such emergencies.

Of course, the spacecraft and space station designed by Chen Guohua will definitely not have such problems.

"Why is it normal?"

Qiu Zongyue was not very understanding. When Chen Guohua heard this, he immediately raised his head and said:
"Leader, there is no need to explain this, right? I have said it before. Be it Moscow or Washington, their brilliance in the aerospace field is actually due to luck, human lives and money. As long as they think about it People who are engaged in the aerospace industry will not have so many tragedies."

"In addition, leader, you can also compare our Nantianmen Space Station plan with the Moscow Salyut Space Station. Are there any differences?"

In March last year, the first test module of the Nantianmen Space Station was launched. It has been nearly a year since then.

The mainland is indeed very poor, but if we insist on continuous launch, it is not impossible.

But they were suppressed by Chen Guohua and refused to launch easily.

why?

Because the technology is not mature enough, the launch was rushed before all tests were completed. There is no doubt that this may become a big firework.

Chen Guohua has no interest in setting off fireworks.

On the other hand, in Moscow, Brezhnev signed the order in February 1970, and then the long-term space station project, tentatively named at that time, was officially launched.

Although this project is based on the Diamond Space Station project, it takes less than a year from the establishment of the project to the launch now.

What a terrifying speed!
With such a rapid launch speed, there are many aspects that spacecraft designers and space station designers have not considered, which is normal.

But if you spend a little time to test, you may be able to find a design flaw in this docking situation. If the docking and positioning control engine of the Soyuz spacecraft is not turned off, it will cause docking deformation, making further complete docking impossible.

The result is obvious. Valery Polyakov, an engineer at the Central Design Bureau of Experimental Machine Building in Moscow, did not discover these design flaws, and Soyuz 10 was a one-time spacecraft designed and developed by this design bureau.

Qiu Zongyue naturally couldn't understand or think through these issues.

But it doesn't matter if he can't figure it out, as long as Chen Guohua has a clear mind.

"So, if you make a little comparison, you will know that in the aerospace field, any slight mistake or flaw is very fatal."

"Maybe in your opinion, this time the connection was just unsuccessful, it was just a design flaw, and it's not a big deal."

"But I want to emphasize that in space, we cannot take any chances. Just like a sentence I have always said: to respect the universe, you must get a hundred points every time. As long as there is an exam, it is Ninety-eight or ninety-nine points, that’s very fatal.”

After a pause, Chen Guohua continued:
"I'll leave it here, leader. Something will happen to the Salyut Space Station in Moscow. If you don't believe it, just pay a little attention and you'll find out."

"Maybe, from the beginning, they shouldn't have named it Salyut 1, because it was destined to be a big firework."

A gun salute, isn't it the same as fireworks?

Hearing Chen Guohua's words, Qiu Zongyue was stunned. Could it really be fireworks?
The latter left, but Chen Guohua walked into the classroom with his homework book in his arms. The astronauts inside were discussing the launch of the Moscow Space Station.

Seeing Chen Guohua walk in, Kang Jimin and others raised their hands to ask questions.

Chen Guohua, who put his homework notebook on the podium, nodded cheerfully and allowed them to ask questions as they pleased.

As long as it was a question related to the space station, he was always happy to answer them as long as he had time.

"Teacher Chen, didn't Moscow just launch the Salyut-1 space station recently? Their Soyuz-10 spacecraft did not dock with the space station smoothly at all, and almost caused an accident. We would like to ask, what is the reason for this? If we If you encounter a similar situation in space, what should you do?”

There are a total of eighty people in the entire classroom, including five female astronauts, Guan Xiuyu, Xin Yue, Li Funing, Wu Xin and Yao Xueling.

After Kang Jimin finished asking the question, all the eighty people's eyes were widened. No one blinked, for fear of missing Chen Guohua's next answer.

In recent April, the hottest topic in the entire aerospace field was the Moscow Salyut space station.

Compared with the general rhetoric in the news media, the intelligence information that astronauts like Kang Jimin, Wang Jiqiang, and Feng Changfu were able to obtain was more specific and detailed.

They even use this as a teaching material, and they all want to learn from this incident in Moscow.

"I knew you would ask about this, so let me briefly talk about the information I saw from those videos and photos."

Chen Guohua on the podium smiled slightly and began to lecture everyone. As for homework, don't rush it yet.

After briefly describing the whole process, Chen Guohua continued:

"The reason why Moscow's space station and spacecraft cannot complete docking is because the designers of the spacecraft and space station did not consider these issues at all. They could not predict them in advance, or they had ignored them during the design."

"This is a design defect problem. In fact, this kind of problem should be comprehensively tested during ground simulation testing to avoid such defects as much as possible."

"Next, let's talk about how you should deal with problems like this if you, as astronauts, encounter it."

In this way, a class begins with questions.

When the first batch of astronaut training began at the Astronaut Training Center, Chen Guohua came once. At that time, he paid special attention to space science experimental training.

This is definitely the most important purpose of all astronauts going to the sky, there is no other.

As for weight loss and overweight training, emergency life-saving training, physical training, centrifuge training, etc., in Chen Guohua's opinion, if other professionals supervise them well, there will definitely be no problem.

After all, these training programs have strict data regulations, and they are treated equally regardless of gender.

If the results are unqualified, they will be slowly eliminated in the subsequent training.

However, even if it is eliminated, it is only known to the superiors and will not be informed to the astronauts for the time being.

The competition started when they entered the astronaut training center.

In Chen Guohua's view, no matter who of the eighty people in front of him can successfully ascend to heaven in the end, everyone should understand and be familiar with this relevant knowledge.

Otherwise, no matter how much training you put in, if you encounter an unexpected situation in the sky, you will not be able to solve it smoothly, and it will be in vain.

After the class, Chen Guohua told them again before the get out of class ended, respect the universe and score 100 points every time.

Whether they are ordinary scientific researchers involved in spacecraft, space stations, rockets and other related spacecraft, or they are astronauts, Chen Guohua has only one requirement for them: to get 100 points every time.

Only by getting full marks for everyone can we have the best chance of avoiding mistakes and disasters.

Although in this life, no one knows which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident.

However, as long as you do yourself well and live every day seriously, then tomorrow should come first. As for accidents, there is no need to worry, because there is no point worrying anymore.

After leaving the astronaut training center, Chen Guohua did not think about the Moscow Salyut-1 space station. He was just thinking about the next work.

On any working day, his schedule is very full.

Things like giving lessons to astronauts are quite time-consuming, but they are necessary.

After all, Chen Guohua was always uneasy about other people teaching the astronauts.

As a group of people who were going to heaven, Chen Guohua was still worried about their safety, so he took action personally.

In addition, when he comes here to teach them, it is also his time to relax.

Because if it were any other job, it would indeed be quite mentally taxing.

For example, in the Kunpeng spacecraft project, it was really a bit brain-burning when answering technical questions for scientific researchers.

Time flies, and April is coming to an end.

On the last day of April, my eldest nephew who was far away on Hong Kong Island called me.

"Uncle, this banana base is really difficult. Many technical problems are difficult to solve."

"There shouldn't be any technical difficulties with bananas, please tell me."

Hearing what his eldest nephew said, Chen Guohua smiled slightly and listened carefully.

Qianduoduo Supermarket has more and more stores in North America and is also popping up everywhere in Europe.

It has even begun to enter markets such as Southeast Asia and Tokyo. The expansion rate is still very alarming.

As for bananas, as one of the best-selling products in Qianduoduo Supermarket, they are even the best-selling items all year round. Therefore, both Chen Yuanchao and Chen Guohua attach great importance to this product.

Especially in North America, bananas are an inseparable fruit for the locals.

The cost of growing bananas on farms in North America is still too high.

Land does not cost money, but the problem is that labor costs are very high.

For example, a banana plantation worker's monthly salary is three hundred dollars, while the same worker's monthly salary is only forty yuan, and there are many people competing for the job.

Even, there is no need to pay a monthly salary of forty yuan.

The labor costs in the mainland are very low, so it is definitely profitable to grow bananas in Hainan Island or Leizhou Peninsula and then export them to Europe and the United States.

As for bananas, which are so easy to ripen, they may have become overripe and rotten during the transportation from the mainland to North America.

If we talk about air freight, the cost is also very high.

For ocean shipping, it will take at least half a month to successfully arrive in North America, and it also needs transshipment, packaging, etc., which also takes a lot of time, labor costs, etc.

However, Chen Guohua has a very detailed technical process for storing, transporting and preserving bananas: combing, cleaning and disinfection, grading, vacuum packaging, and low-temperature storage.

With such preservation technology, there is no need to worry about preservation and transportation issues.

Besides, the cost of shipping in this era is really low.

Besides, the labor costs in North America are so high. If we don't rely on the mainland to reduce costs, it will be difficult for Qianduoduo Supermarket to increase its profits.

However, the banana planting technical issues mentioned by Chen Yuanchao are indeed difficult problems that need to be faced.

For example, some highly contagious diseases and insect pests are very easy to encounter difficulties in the process of banana planting, and they are also difficult to avoid.

Some time ago, Chen Yuanchao saw banana wilt in a banana plantation park on the Leizhou Peninsula.

This disease is caused by Fusarium oxysporum. The virus is transmitted through the soil and is highly contagious and destructive.

Once such a disease occurs, it can only be dealt with quickly, otherwise, if it is completely infected, it will be a huge disaster.

Fortunately, we are not private fruit farmers now, so this situation is still acceptable to Qianduoduo Supermarket.

And this still happens in the mainland. If it were in North America, the situation would be even more serious.

Because other farmers in North America are not so kind and easy to talk to.

Listening to his eldest nephew's complaints, Chen Guohua smiled. After answering his eldest nephew's technical questions, he asked him if he wanted to go back to the capital?
