The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 219: Another village has a bright future.

June 1961, Central Pier, Hong Kong Island.

A huge cruise ship docked at the shore, and many workers were busy carrying guests' luggage and cargo to the cruise ship.

In the 1950s and 1960s, cruise ships, as the most economical way to sail across the ocean, were the first choice for many people to go abroad.

Those who can afford to fly are still a minority.

Howard is such a character. He doesn't have that much money, so he chooses to take a cruise.

What's more, he brought a lot of goods with him this time, which are the foundation of his family.

He just completed the delivery with China Resources two days ago and successfully obtained the remaining 300,000 diapers.

Last month, he returned to North America from Hong Kong Island with 50,000 diapers, and then plunged into the mall.

He found a container in a building called Sears Department Store on the busiest street in New York.

With a loan provided by the bank, he rented the temporary container.

Sears Department Store was one of the most famous department stores in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s.

In 30, Wood, who had led Sears for nearly years, retired.

Since then, Sears' president and other senior leaders have changed every few years, and the company's business methods have also undergone some changes.

After the 1950s, Sears Department Store's involvement in the economic field became even wider.

That's why Howard was able to rent a temporary container like this one at the Sears department store.

After renting the container, Howard never imagined that the diapers of different sizes he brought from Hong Kong Island would be so popular.

Last month, when he first came to set up a stall in the container, due to the huge flow of people in the Sears department store, he was surrounded by several mothers pushing luxury strollers as soon as he opened.

"What brand of diaper is this? What kind of text is this?"

A group of mothers curiously picked up the diapers and began to examine them.

The soft feel makes mothers’ eyes light up.

Of course Howard would take this opportunity and start explaining.

Only the wealthy would be willing to purchase things like diapers.

Ordinary people would not be willing to part with it.

After all, a diaper is nearly a dollar, and no ordinary person would be willing to give it up.

You know, in this era, many ordinary North American working-class people only have a monthly salary of several hundred dollars.

Only those in the middle and upper classes, such as professors and doctors, can earn a salary of around a few thousand dollars.

Even for this type of person, they may not be willing to buy diapers for their babies unless it is for work reasons.

After all, a baby needs about ten to fifteen diapers a day, which means that just spending on diapers a day costs about ten to fifteen yuan.

That's three hundred to four hundred and fifty dollars a month, which is one-tenth of their salary.

"Wow, so good? Can I try it out?"

After listening to Howard's introduction, the mothers wanted to give it a try.

Currently, only a few companies such as Procter & Gamble have products like diapers on the market, so everyone doesn’t have many choices.

Nowadays, there is finally a new product, and mothers will not believe it easily. After all, it concerns their babies.

Howard directly opened one of the pieces, picked up the water next to it and poured it into it.

"Look, how absorbent is this diaper?"

The live demonstration directly amazed the mothers.

I paid for it on the spot.

Nothing is more trustworthy than seeing it with your own eyes, not to mention that Howard is in a container at Sears Department Store. Even if you don't believe Howard, you should have some trust in Sears Department Store.

After all, Sears is not a small business, but a large corporation.

You know, in the 1940s, Sears was already the largest retail company in the world.

The turnover once reached one percent of North America's national GDP.

In 1961, Sears Department Store was not at its peak. Even so, it was the most powerful retail company in North America and even the world.

Consumers naturally have a mysterious degree of trust in such large companies.

As a result, Howard's diapers were quickly sold out.

Even those diapers sold to adults are particularly impressive to some mothers.

Because their husbands are surgeons.

As we all know, when surgeons perform operations, especially some major operations, they last for several hours.

Saving people is in dire straits!

So even if the urge to urinate is overwhelming, I can only hold it in.

After Procter & Gamble introduced diapers, of course some doctors also secretly used diapers.

Otherwise, holding urine for a long time will not be very friendly to the bladder.

As doctors, they are more aware of the dangers of holding in urine.

Therefore, when these mothers heard this, they immediately plundered all of Howard's other large-size adult diapers.

Howard never thought that the diapers he brought from Hong Kong Island would be so popular.

Therefore, he quickly returned to Hong Kong Island and took away the remaining 450,000 diapers in two separate trips.

In addition, he has also placed an order for 500,000 tablets with China Resources and will come to pick up the goods in July.

When Howard boarded the cruise ship bound for North America with diapers, Liu Guanzhong also received news from the capital.

"Black ship? Rat?"

After reading the news, Liu Guanzhong's face darkened.

He also hates such Shuoshu extremely.

He will not stop others from pursuing a better life, but if it is based on betrayal, then don't blame him for being cruel.

To be able to serve as the general manager of China Resources in a place like Hong Kong Island, Liu Guanzhong is certainly not a good candidate.

People who have never been here have no idea how bad the environment on Hong Kong Island is.

Back then, Hong Kong Island was left behind.

It's not that Great Britain is that awesome.

But the higher-ups are far-sighted.

The teacher said, Ming Jin withdraws his troops.

At that time, there were hundreds of thousands of troops in Luohu.

On the other side of Hong Kong Island, there are only more than 10,000 people.

The gap between the two sides is too big.

Under the historical background of the times, Hong Kong Island has remained.

Then in 1950, in addition to Hadrow Wilson who was the first to make friends with us, Eriksson, Erland, Enarki Hudson and others also extended a hand of friendship.

In addition to this, many supplies from the mainland are actually transshipped from Hong Kong Island.

Otherwise, haha, Hong Kong Island is back, but problems have also arisen.

I was forced to close the country.

Based on this, of course, the city of Hong Kong Island has gathered many forces from all sides.

Anyone who has watched the Young and Dangerous movie knows where those young bad guys in Hong Kong came from.

"Then go catch the mice!"

Liu Guanzhong called the staff over and started making arrangements.

However, there are so many black ships coming to Hong Kong Island every day, how can we be sure?

What's more, will the black ship definitely come to Hong Kong Island?

No matter what, for Liu Guanzhong, this matter must be done beautifully.

Otherwise, the impression of him in the capital may be diminished.

Everyone's pursuit is different. People like You Jianzhong may pursue personal glory and wealth.

Similar to Chen Shengshen, he will also choose a path that suits him better, and people like Zhou Weiliang will be more willing to choose not to compete with the world and only do what he wants to do.

In fact, it is almost impossible for a person like Zhou Weiliang, who is indifferent to fame and fortune, to participate in any activities unless someone forces him to do so.

For such a person, you can call him selfish or he can see through the world of mortals.

But Liu Guanzhong is different. He will pay more attention to fighting for the cause of the motherland and realizing his personal ideals.

The position of general manager of China Resources seems to be a company position, but it is not.

Therefore, he is very concerned about the impression of him in the capital.

This has a lot to do with whether he can be promoted in the future.

The night is dark and the wind is high. On Hong Kong Island in June, there is always a cool breeze blowing by the seaside, with a faint smell of 'salty seafood', which many people are not used to.

For example, Chester King, who had just arrived in Hong Kong Island a few days ago, was an out-and-out inland man and had a longing for the sea.

But he had to watch the dark sea every day, smelling the sea breeze that turned him off. The so-called yearning made him want to go back in time along the timeline and punch his former self a few times.

Why yearn for the sea?

What’s so good about the salty sea breeze?

No ghost would come to this remote sea area, but he had to be here to guard it.

The reason is also very simple, he needs to come here to pick up people.

The black ship comes from the direction of the sea. Who knows when it will come?

Just a few hundred meters away from Chester King, a dozen people were waiting.

They had already noticed the foreigner Chester King.

This nearby place is the most likely place for the black ship to dock.

Although there are many islands on Hong Kong Island, many ships even dock directly at the Central Pier or Tsim Sha Tsui Star Pier in Victoria Harbour.

However, Black Ship does not know how to do this and does not dare to do so.

Just because they have no legal procedures, once they come in so arrogantly, the police will not be so easy to talk to.

Besides, the patrolling marine police are not vegetarians, so how could they just let you pass so easily?

Because of this, there is a very famous black ship landing site.

But it’s not actually fixed, it’s just that the place is so big, where can I go?

Nearly a hundred kilometers away on the sea, a fairly large ship was drifting on the sea.

All seven members of You Jianzhong's family were on the boat. They all yearned for the outside world, so they boarded the boat.

"Son, do you have all your books with you?"

In the cabin, You Jianzhong's mother asked worriedly.

His voice was very soft, and he spoke in dialect. In addition, he used a book as his code name, so he was quite cautious.

The so-called books are actually gold and silver.

After all, there is a golden house in a book, so there is nothing wrong with using books to refer to it.

But You Jianzhong didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and then looked around warily.

In fact, he didn't know that except for the captain and a few crew members, everyone else on this ship carried gold and silver.

And there are quite a few.

Those who were able to board this boat had to pay huge sums of money to buy the tickets.

Otherwise, the captain would not let them board the ship.

Therefore, it does not matter whether You Jianzhong is vigilant or not.

After all, if someone really wanted to rob them, ordinary people like them really couldn't stop them.

"We will arrive at Hong Kong Island in more than an hour, so everyone is ready to get off the ship."

At this moment, the captain's voice suddenly came out.

Almost everyone in the cabin could not help but cheer.

After wandering on the sea for a long time, I finally arrived at my destination. It was really not easy.

You Jianzhong's family is also very excited. They are about to enter a wealthy life, and they no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat every day.

Anyway, You Jianzhong remembers very clearly that starting in 1959, his family almost couldn't survive because they had no money and no food.

It's true that he is a college student, but he got married early and had his first child when he was a freshman.

But his wife has a rural registered permanent residence and has no skills.

Apart from being handsome and having a big butt, he is also very ordinary with his brain.

If it was 59 years ago, then everything was fine, just barely, and still manageable.

But after 59 years, it would be too difficult for You Jianzhong and his father to provide food for their family of seven.

When You Jianzhong was a college student, the monthly state subsidy he received was 24 yuan.

His father was engaged in bricklaying and construction, but he was not a formal worker. He was the type who found work by himself.

Because of this, the family has no money.

In addition, You Jianzhong's wife has a rural registered permanent residence, and her two children, like her, cannot eat commercial grain.

In addition, there is a younger sister who is in junior high school.

Therefore, this family almost failed to survive before March 1960.

In mid-March 1960, You Jianzhong entered the Zhenhua Research Institute in the same batch as Jiang Quemin, Zhao Mengyin, Shu Xingbei and other 150 prospective college students.

It is precisely because of this and the extremely high salary provided by Zhenhua Research Institute that You Jianzhong and his family survived.

People are like this. Once bitten by a snake, they will be afraid of snake bites for ten years.

After experiencing despair, they cherish hope even more.

It's a pity that You Jianzhong's family cherishes things in a special way. They just want to continue the family lineage and make their family live a better life.

As for means and processes, how can there be so much emphasis on them?

At that time in 1959, the You family was almost dying, and no one came to help them.

That's why they don't think so much.

Because of this, You Jianzhong seized the opportunity and accepted the olive branch offered by others.

He was not stupid. In addition to asking for 100,000 US dollars in cash, he also asked for ten large yellow croakers.

In You Jianzhong's view, although the U.S. dollar is linked to gold, some places may not recognize the U.S. dollar, but gold is almost universally recognized in many places around the world.

Therefore, just asking for U.S. dollars is not enough, you also have to ask for big yellow croaker.

Now, Hong Kong Island is approaching, and You Jianzhong is also excited.

A brave new world beckons to him.

As a result, not long after disembarking from the ship, Chestkin did not pick him up, but someone took the family away.

Looking at their styles and habits, how could You Jianzhong not know that his dream of wealth was shattered?

Liu Guanzhong did not see You Jianzhong. After learning that the net had been closed perfectly, he asked the staff to hand over the person properly.

Regarding rats like You Jianzhong, Liu Guanzhong felt that meeting such people would only dirty his eyes.

Besides, since this matter is over, there is no need to pay attention to it anymore.

He has more important things to do right now.

Just because less than half a month had passed since the last time Howard left Hong Kong Island with 300,000 diapers, he appeared in front of Liu Guanzhong again.

"Mr. Liu, didn't I tell you last time that I wanted to order another 500,000 diapers?"

Staring at Liu Guanzhong with a serious expression, Howard suppressed his excitement and said:

"I want to add another one million pieces, 60% of which are adult styles and 40% are baby styles. When can you deliver these 1.5 million diapers to me? ?”

No wonder Howard was in such a hurry, it was just because his diapers in the Sears department store were sold out!

Even two doctors from the West Coast came to buy a batch of diapers from Howard.

This shows how popular adult diapers are.

Doctors and other special professions really need such diapers.

Therefore, after accidentally learning that there are such adult-style diapers, how can many people still sit still?

As doctors, they know the disadvantages of holding in urine better than anyone else.

However, after an operation, if you don't hold in your urine, you can't leave the operating table temporarily.

Therefore, adult-style diapers have become the first choice of many doctors.

In North America, doctors are a popular and respected profession, similar to lawyers.

At the same time, doctors still make a lot of money, so even if products like diapers are a bit more expensive, they are still acceptable.

After all, they don't need several tablets a day like babies, they only need them when they need surgery.

The reason why these diapers in Howard's hands are so popular is of course because of their high quality.

It has perfect water absorption properties, perfect breathability, and great comfort. Such a product naturally captures the hearts of consumers right away.

Because of this, half a million diapers were quickly sold out in a short period of time.

Howard, who can earn about two cents a piece, has already made a profit of $10,000 from these 500,000 diapers alone.

It seems that after working hard for so long, I only made ten thousand US dollars, which feels a bit unworthy.

But you know, this is ten thousand dollars, not one thousand dollars.

If China Resources had not set prices too high, he would definitely have made more money.

But it is also because of this that Howard has no other competitors, and the diaper products are so popular.

Facing the sudden good news, Liu Guanzhong grinned and said:

"I think the 500,000 diapers you ordered before will be ready for delivery at the end of this month. The remaining 1 million diapers should be available around mid-July."

In fact, Baiyun City's production capacity can currently reach 500,000 copies per month.

After all, since the factory was built, it has been built according to the production capacity standard of 500,000 diapers.

Moreover, with the orders put forward by Howard, Liu Guanzhong also sent people to keep an eye on the North American market.

Now that Howard is back first.

This shows that the 500,000 diapers completed in the previous transaction have been successfully recognized by the market.

In this case, the next step is to sell these diapers myself.

With examples like Howard's, China Resources is not worried that those diapers will be unsalable.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in increasing the production capacity in Baiyun City.

The problem may be the raw materials.

But in the face of white dollars, raw materials are not a problem.

Judging from the experience of selling transistors and chips, no matter whether it is Beijing or Baiyun City, they will not miss such foreign exchange.

Because this is a great achievement!

Then we will notify the factory in Baiyun City to increase production capacity later. By mid-July, we can complete the order of one million diapers, which will not be a big problem.

"Can you speed it up? In mid-July, it's a bit late."

When Howard heard this, he frowned immediately.

This time, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, bought a plane ticket and went straight to Hong Kong Island.

This shows how urgent he is.

The reason is also very simple, that is, he knows that Procter & Gamble is not a fool and will definitely take action.

They will definitely update the quality of their Procter & Gamble diaper products with reference to China Resources' diapers, in order to attract consumers to buy and win back customers who originally belonged to their P&G company.

Therefore, in order to seize the market as quickly as possible, Howard can only race against time.

Hearing this, Liu Guanzhong smiled slightly and said:

"Sorry, it can only be mid-July now, and our production capacity can do this for the time being."

Hearing this, Howard sighed helplessly.

It is impossible to increase the price, after all, his profit is very small.

If the price is increased, it will be even less profitable.

Deep down, Howard had already thought of a good idea.

It's a pity that he doesn't have enough start-up capital or technology. It's basically impossible to invest in building a factory by himself.

After watching Howard leave, Liu Guanzhong immediately sent a telegram to Baiyun City.

Within two days, news from North America came back.

After seeing the news, Liu Guanzhong was still surprised.

"Hiss, the sales are so fast? Did everyone rush to buy them? Even Procter & Gamble's diapers were sold a lot?"

These news are really shocking.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel regretful. If he had known better, he would have taken the initiative and produced one million diapers per month.

In this case, China Resources can now personally deliver goods to North America and set up stalls to sell them.

Even those two cents are not earned by Howard.

In fact, P&G's diapers are obviously a little more expensive.

The diapers from China Resources are so popular. Not only are they more expensive than Procter & Gamble, they are at least the same price as their products. There’s nothing wrong with that, right?

As a result, China Resources will earn more profits.

Thinking of this, Liu Guanzhong hurriedly sent a message to the capital, hoping that they would not miss such a good opportunity.

Beijing, Di'anmen Street, Yamen Office.

Qiu Zongyue was indeed surprised when he received the news from Hong Kong Island.

You know, Chen Guohua has said before that it is unlikely to sell chips or transistors in the next six months, or even within a year.

This means that it is difficult for the mainland to have such huge profit opportunities again.

Unexpectedly, diapers, which were previously looked down upon, have become a new source of foreign exchange growth.

It’s too unexpected!

So he went straight to Zhenhua Research Institute and found Chen Guohua.

"Guohua, what do you think we should do now? Should we agree? Or should we not agree?"

Regarding this matter, Chen Guohua agreed.

"Leader, the market in North America is huge. Through newspapers and other information sent back by China Resources, we can clearly find that there is a huge demand for diapers there."

"If we can export directly to North America, we can earn foreign exchange faster and bring back the industrial equipment we want from there."

When he heard about industrial equipment, Qiu Zongyue's eyes suddenly lit up.

But then he realized something again and said:

"Guohua, if I remember correctly, you have cooperated with Jingcheng Iron and Steel Plant on increasing steel production, right?"

Seeing Qiu Zongyue changing the topic, Chen Guohua instantly knew what the other party wanted to say.

So he shook his head directly and said:

"Leader, our basic industry in the mainland is still not strong enough. If we want to manufacture industrial equipment, we are too weak after all. We are extremely lacking in many talents such as technical engineers and researchers."

In the Mainland in the 1950s and 1960s, it could be said that there was a shortage of almost everything, except for people.

If among the 6 to 7 billion people, one in a few thousand or one in 10,000 is an engineer, Chen Guohua will definitely help.

However, there are only a few seventh- and eighth-level workers in each factory, let alone engineers?

If there are too few talents, it would be quite difficult to directly import minerals and other raw materials from abroad, manufacture them ourselves and then export them to European and American countries.

After all, compared with foreign manufacturing industries, the mainland's manufacturing industry is still in its infancy in Handan.

"Then there's nothing we can do?"

Hearing this, Qiu Zongyue immediately understood what Chen Guohua meant and couldn't help but said reluctantly.

"Yes, don't we have 107 Factory and other military-industrial enterprises?"

Chen Guohua chuckled and said:

"Next month is July. Then I will design and develop a calculator to minimize the costs and see if I can sell it to earn foreign exchange."

"What? Will the calculator we built work? And is there any difference between this calculator and a computer?"

Hearing Chen Guohua's words, Qiu Zongyue was a little surprised, but he still said a little unconfidently.

Before the advent of electronic calculators, the more common calculator in the mainland was actually the abacus.

Chen Guohua also had an abacus and was even good at using it.

But he only used it when he was at the BAIC manufacturing plant, and never touched it again.

In foreign countries, people directly use mechanical calculators to help with daily calculations.

To put it a bit far-fetched, the abacus and the logarithmic slide rule are both members of the mechanical calculator.

In the history of space and time, these same types of slide rules were brought to the lunar orbit during the Apollo moon landing program.

Of course, in foreign countries, the most commonly used mechanical calculator is composed of complex gears and mechanical structures.

Secondly, there are some more complex mechanical computers capable of calculating integrals, squares and square roots.

The electronic calculator actually appeared in 1946.

But this thing is actually a computer, because it can be used to calculate the flight trajectory of cannon shells or predict the impact points of bombs and torpedoes thrown from aircraft, which requires a lot of mathematical calculations.

After all, this thing is the ancestor of computers, and its speed of five thousand operations per second is simply not comparable to other mechanical calculators.

This equipment is equipped with 18,000 electron tubes, weighs a total of 27 tons, and covers an area of ​​about 170 square meters.

Therefore, computers and calculators have different development paths.

Just this year, a calculator appeared in the North American and European markets, but Qiu Zongyue must have not noticed the appearance of this thing.

Because this is a fully electronic desktop calculator, a calculator called Anita designed and invented in Great Britain.

Chen Guohua took out the newspaper, found the news page at that time, and showed the picture and brief introduction of Anita's calculator to Qiu Zongyue.

"Boss, please see, this is the calculator I told you about, but this thing is still too troublesome and does not fit in our daily work."

"Look at the densely packed buttons on this panel, which can easily make people dizzy."

When Qiu Zongyue heard this, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

In fact, the newspaper reports about the Anita calculator, and the picture above clearly shows all the keys on the calculator.

It has more keys and is more complicated than the modern version of the keyboard developed by Chen Guohua.

In addition to the buttons, the display components of Anita's calculator are made of Nixie tubes, which make people dizzy just looking at them.

Anyway, Chen Guohua is not used to it.

If not for this news, Chen Guohua would not have thought of developing calculators.

After all, the mainland has not yet come up with the sharp sword of mushroom eggs, and he is busy with the research and development of integrated computers and the semiconductor industry.

Together with the two major products of transistors and chips, they are enough to make the mainland a lot of money. Naturally, Chen Guohua has no other ideas to make money.

As we all know, in the history of the original space and time, Intel only focused on selling processors.

Although they only sell processors, they really make a lot of money.

Therefore, the path that Chen Guohua is taking now is actually the path that Intel took in the early days of later generations.

But the problem now is that many companies in the computer and semiconductor industries in North America and Europe have been bullied by Chen Guohua.

It can almost be said that most of the profits in the past one or two years have been made by China Resources.

Now, they know that photolithography machines are used for chip manufacturing. If this is the case, how could they still act like a licking dog and come to buy China Resources' chips?

I'm not a fool.

And there are a large number of researchers, engineers, etc.

With so many talented people and so much money at hand, why not do research and development yourself?

Therefore, until they break through the southern wall and develop the lithography machine technology, China Resources will no longer be able to sell chips.

Based on this, the mainland suddenly did not have a lot of foreign exchange earnings.

There is a saying that destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

This word is not very appropriate to describe China Resources, but the meaning is roughly that.

Faced with such a situation, Chen Guohua must of course find time to engage in other small side businesses that make money.

Otherwise, if there is no income from above, the preferential treatment of Zhenhua Research Institute will most likely come to an abrupt end.

But now Chen Guohua is leading Xue Jinquan, Zhang Jichuan, and Yao Shiqiong to conquer the billion-level computer project, and he can't get around to working on this small project for the time being.

Since Qiu Zongyue asked about this, Chen Guohua directly said it first.

As for the small amount of money made by China Resources and the diaper factory in Baiyun City in the south.

To be honest, Chen Guohua didn't like it at all, just because the price was too low. It could almost be said that there was no added value.

For goods worth a few tenths of a dollar, the profit even Howard, the middleman, can earn is only a few cents.

What added value can such a product have?

Products without added value are not profits, but hard-earned money.

Take a look at the calculator developed by Great Britain in a different way. One unit sold for a thousand dollars.

Such an expensive product is nothing more than a computing device for simple and straightforward daily operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

But even so, in Europe and the United States, where the per capita salary is only a few hundred dollars, tens of thousands of Anita calculators have been successfully sold.

"Boss, my idea is that the calculators we develop now should not be priced so high, just $899 per unit."

"In terms of cost, we will use the cheapest materials. With small profits but quick turnover, as long as we can sell millions of calculators, the cost of a single calculator can be reduced to only about ten dollars."

Hearing Chen Guohua's words, Qiu Zongyue's eyes widened and he exclaimed:

"A million calculators? How is that possible?"

The Anita calculator from the West is a little more expensive, but only tens of thousands of units have been sold.

Why can our calculators sell millions of units?

Even though the price is $899, which is relatively cheap, it’s not something that ordinary people can afford, right?

In this regard, Chen Guohua said confidently:

"Leader, although the Anita calculator is good, it is too bulky. It is the same size as a desk without four legs. It has so many buttons and uses some electronic tubes inside."

"But the calculator I developed will all use transistors, and they will be fifty micron transistors."

"When the time comes, I will make it only palm-sized, and the price is so cheap. Leader, assuming you are an accountant in a government department with an income of 500 US dollars per month, would you recommend that your department purchase such a computer? Where is the weapon?"

There is no doubt that I will definitely purchase it.

You know, it's just a palm-sized calculator, which is really convenient.

Not to mention government departments, even in department stores like Sears, small business owners or ordinary businessmen like Howard will definitely purchase one.

The main reason is that it is practical, flexible and compact.

Even housewives may purchase one to improve their efficiency in calculating household bills.

As we all know, North America is divided into elite education and civilian education.

In other words, ordinary people with civilian education have worse computing skills.

In this case, Chen Guohua feels that launching such a calculator will definitely be a great boon to them.

Moreover, even people with elite education should be tempted to buy one when faced with such a useful calculator, right?

After all, sometimes, overusing your brain is not a good thing.

How wonderful would it be to have such a device to assist you in working and studying?

"What? A palm-sized calculator? Guohua, don't joke. You know, I can't stand such jokes."

When Qiu Zongyue heard this, he immediately exclaimed.

Good guy, he thinks Chen Guohua is joking.

I just heard Chen Guohua say some time ago that he could develop a bug the size of an index finger and a bug the size of a grain of rice.

At that time, Qiu Zongyue already felt that Chen Guohua was very awesome.

But now, is it great that calculators can also be designed to be palm-sized?

You know, eavesdroppers are different. They don’t have many internal components, and they also need assistance from other receivers and other equipment, and are also limited by distance.

But now Chen Guohua is talking about calculators. Look at how big the abacus is, and then look at how big the computer is, and you will know how difficult it is to make a calculator the size of a palm.

"Leader, how could I be joking?"

When Chen Guohua heard this, he suddenly said dumbfounded.

These are really not suitable for joking.

Just like a few days ago, news came from China Resources about the arrest of You Jianzhong's family. These things are very serious, how can they be joked about?

"Anyway, boss, just wait. As soon as I take out the billion-level computer, I can get away and work on this small calculator project."

"We may have no other income for a while, but in that case, we'll just sell calculators."

Equipment such as calculators should not be considered a very powerful manufacturing industry, right?

Chen Guohua is still worried that Europe and the United States will mistakenly think that the mainland's manufacturing level is already very high, so he has never dared to sell computers before.

But computers can’t be sold, so calculators should be fine, right?

Why not start a side job like radio?

"Okay, okay, then I'll be waiting for your good news."

After hearing Chen Guohua's words, Qiu Zongyue felt relieved and smiled happily.

It doesn't matter if we can't sell transistors and chips.

If you can sell calculators now, well, if you sell one million units at a price of US$899, doesn't it mean that you can earn another US$8.9 billion?
