Chapter 224, Opinions and Rainbow Farts

September 1961, BAIC Manufacturing Plant, Finance Department.

"Ruoxin, are you pregnant again? Congratulations, your man is really capable. This is your third child."

In the office, a group of lesbians were chatting.

The center of the topic is of course Fang Ruoxin.

She gave birth to a fat boy in November 1959, and another son at the end of last year.

She gave birth to two sons in succession, and everyone praised her for her fertility.

Now she is pregnant with her third child. Isn't it all thanks to Ma Yunlu?

"What are you all talking about? Someone, come and come with me."

At this time, the head of the finance department came over, called someone casually, and went out.

Not long after, the section chief and the others brought back two cardboard boxes, which directly attracted the attention of Fang Ruoxin and the others.

"what is this?"

The arrival of two cardboard boxes attracted everyone's attention and curiosity.

"I heard it's a calculator. It's similar to an abacus, but it's more useful than an abacus."

The section chief smiled, and after taking it apart, he saw the calculator inside.

The calculator is made of metal, making it look classy.

In fact, Chen Guohua wants to use plastic as the outer protective shell.

As a result, after asking the plastic factory, I found out that the cost of plastic is much more expensive, so I might as well forget it.

It would be better to use alloy directly.

When Fang Ruoxin and the others saw this metal object, they all exclaimed, and for a moment they were afraid to do anything.

A very beautiful calculator, small and exquisite, because it is only about the size of a palm.

The instruction manual was inside the cardboard box. After the section chief took out the instruction manual, he quickly started reading it.

How to start, how to use this calculator, and what functions each key on the keyboard has can be clearly found in the manual.

After starting at the same time, there are instructions on how long it usually takes for it to automatically shut down, etc.

After reading it, the section chief picked up the calculator and started playing with it.

Their finance department got a share of two calculators, while the design department got a share of twelve calculators in total.

Yes, the design department has a greater need for calculators.

While Fang Ruoxin and other comrades from the Finance Department were starting to study on the calculators, Bai Lichun, the director of the Second Design Department on the other side, also arranged for four calculators to be brought over.

"Director, what is this? It's quite light to hold."

Du Mingli and Xi Zhenglin, the two team leaders, asked curiously.

Bai Lichun shook his head, he wasn't very clear either.

Anyway, it was Duan Yunping who said that this is the calculator requested to be purchased by the above, and it is easier to use than an abacus.

The most important thing is to fill in the feedback information after using it.

Therefore, how could Bai Lichun, who had never seen a calculator, know what a calculator was.

Anyway, you’ll know after you open it and take a look.

There are three design departments in the BAIC manufacturing plant, among which the second design department has three design groups.

There are four calculators, one for Bai Lichun himself, and the remaining three are for each of the three team leaders Du Mingli, Xi Zhenglin and Wu Mengyu.

The leader of the first group was originally Chen Guohua.

After September 1959, Chen Guohua left the BAIC manufacturing plant, and Bai Lichun concurrently served as the team leader at that time.

Later, the position of team leader was given to Wu Mengyu.

Wu Mengyu, a lesbian, is still very strong. At the beginning, that is, in the assessment at the end of June 1958, Wu Mengyu was the one with the best results.

Later, with my own efforts, I walked faster and more steadily on the road of design.

Although everyone prefers Chen Guohua to serve as the team leader, everyone has to admit that it is Wu Mengyu who can help everyone as the team leader.

You know, when Chen Guohua was the team leader, it was basically rare to see anyone.

After all, at that time, Chen Guohua spent most of his time at the Materials Research Institute and rarely returned to the design department.

At this moment, when Wu Mengyu opened the cardboard box, Huang Shurong, Jiang Ruolin, Guo Huizhen, Yang Hesheng and other team members all gathered around.

In the small circle next to them, Qu Qingqing, Lao Chongguang, Hu Xingjian and others from the second group were already exclaiming.

Because the calculator made of metal looks very attractive and full of style.

"This is the plus sign button, this is the minus sign button, eighteen plus fifty-eight, oh, the equal sign button is here. Hiss, it really equals seventy-six."

Seeing that Du Mingli had already played once, Lao Chongguang, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt itchy and couldn't help but say:

"Lao Du, let me try"

Abacus and calculator should be arithmetic tools with almost the same functions.

But humans are all animals that love the new and hate the old, and their curiosity to explore new things is always at full capacity.

Otherwise, there would be no saying: Curiosity killed the cat!

Du Mingli didn't let the other party play. He was the team leader, and the calculator was for him, not the other party.

Such a situation immediately made Lao Chongguang very dissatisfied.

He was originally an old man in the design department. A few years later, Du Mingli remained in the position of team leader and was unwilling to move.

Because of this, Lao Chongguang had long been dissatisfied.

"Team Leader Du, I'm just giving it a try. Besides, don't you also need to fill in feedback on this calculator? This is a new product and we will all use it in the future. You can't just monopolize it by just one person, right?"

With just such a sentence, the conflict between the two sides is about to break out.

Bai Lichun, who was in the cubicle in the office, didn't hear these movements at this time because he was busy playing with the calculator.

Obviously, a calculator is a great calculation tool, much easier to use than an abacus.

However, the opinion form next to him that required filling in feedback gave him a hard time.

Because he thinks this calculator is very easy to use, so what comments do he need to fill in for improvement?

He was in trouble, but suddenly there was a loud exclamation outside.

"What's the noise about?"

Bai Lichun came out, a little angry, so his face was gloomy. The next moment he saw the calculator on the ground.

Suddenly he became even more angry:

"Why did you drop the calculator? Is this how you treat it? Do you know how much a calculator costs? Two hundred dollars!"

hiss!

Everyone took a breath of cold air.

Wu Mengyu and Xi Zhenglin quickly put the calculator in their hands gently on the table, staring at it for fear of falling.

"Who dropped the calculator? Tell me!"

Bai Lichun was furious and stared at Du Mingli fiercely.

After all, it’s clear what’s going on in the office.

Wu Mengyu and Xi Zhenglin's calculators were both on the table. Only Du Mingli's side was empty, with only a cardboard box, instruction manual and opinion form.

Du Mingli took a deep breath and said:

"Director, the situation is like this, I"

He briefly described the matter. What happened was that Lao Chongguang came to snatch the calculator, but he refused to let him go, and the two refused to give in to each other.

Then in the process of pushing and pulling, the calculator suddenly lost its grip and fell to the ground.

A calculator I just got back. This is an electronic product, and the price is not cheap.

Then it fell to the ground.

From a visual inspection, it should not be broken, but who knows?

When Bai Lichun heard this, he glared at Lao Chongguang and Du Mingli fiercely and said:

"You guys are really good. If you go and write a thousand-word self-reflection, why don't you quickly pick up the calculator?"

Lao Chongguang immediately returned to his work station as if he was mourning. After Du Mingli picked up the calculator, he found that the calculator could still be used.

He tried it quickly for a while, and it was indeed correct.

"Then you fill in the opinion form carefully and take good care of your calculator. If it breaks, money will be deducted from your salary!"

After hearing Bai Lichun's words, Du Mingli hurriedly agreed.

Since this calculator is so easy to use, he must take good care of it in the future.

However, he would still be unhappy if money was deducted from his salary.

After all, this thing actually costs two hundred yuan. Isn’t it too expensive?

The higher-ups are actually so willing to purchase such an expensive calculator?

In fact, the cost of such a calculator is only about fifty yuan.

But since this thing is a newly released product, only 15,000 units have been produced so far. In addition to the cost of raw materials, Chen Guohua also added labor costs and other costs.

As a result, the cost of this calculator soared to more than one hundred.

In fact, the profits of products produced in the Mainland are very low.

In this case, just sell it for two hundred yuan.

Later, if calculators are mass-produced, the cost will definitely be reduced to less than one hundred yuan.

After experiencing the incident where the calculator was thrown, both Wu Mengyu and Xi Zhenglin took more care of their calculators.

No one else can touch it!

All the team members are envious, but what can they do?

This is not only true for the Second Design Department, but also for the First Design Department and the Third Design Department.

As the calculator entered the BAIC manufacturing plant, gossip about the calculator quickly spread throughout the factory.

At noon in the cafeteria, Cheng Chunming sat down in front of Lu Zhixiao with a lunch box in his hands.

"Lao Lu, you must have used that calculator, right? Isn't it particularly easy to use?"

"Definitely. It's much easier to use than an abacus. I don't know who invented it. It's really amazing. How can something as big as a palm be able to calculate so many complicated formulas?"

As the director of the first design department, Lu Zhixiao is well-informed.

But this was the first time he saw such a magical calculator, and its functions still surprised him.

It is much more powerful than an abacus.

"Haha, don't you think the calculator looks familiar to you? Maybe it was invented by the genius before our factory."

Cheng Chunming said with a smile. Bai Lichun happened to come over at this time and stopped him:

"Old Bai, we are discussing calculators. Do you think this thing looks like a product invented by Chen Guohua?"

The latter was shocked and immediately shook his head:

"I don't know that."

It has been almost two years since Chen Guohua left the BAIC Manufacturing Plant. Since his departure, fewer and fewer people have discussed him at the BAIC Manufacturing Plant.

In September last year, there was still some discussion.

After all, at that time, Chen Guohua not only gave an academic lecture at Southern Central University, but later became the youngest professor in the history of Peking University.

These are all news published in newspapers such as People's Daily and Youth Daily, and they are absolutely correct.

As for the news after that, there is almost no news.

"You must know that Chen Guohua was your subordinate before."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chunming hurriedly said that he still wanted to inquire about some information.

After all, he must be very curious about how Chen Guohua got on after leaving the BAIC manufacturing plant.

As for the youngest Peking University professors mentioned in the newspaper last year, they were only in terms of salary and personal academics, which were too advanced.

What Cheng Chunming wanted to inquire about was Chen Guohua's innovations and inventions.

You know, when Chen Guohua was at the BAIC Manufacturing Plant, he came up with many inventions.

There's no reason why people above him can't see his abilities.

Bai Lichun shook his head. He was not chatting with Cheng Chunming. He hadn't eaten yet.

However, after Bai Lichun prepared the meal and found a seat to sit down, he still thought of Chen Guohua unconsciously.

After all, Cheng Chunming was right. Electronic products such as calculators might have been invented by Chen Guohua.

Ugh!

However, when Bai Lichun thought that he had no contact with Chen Guohua anymore, why did he ask these questions?

Cuihua Hutong, Chen’s house.

When Chen Guohua got home, he took out five calculators with a smile and said to his family:

"Mom, dad, sister-in-law, this is a calculator produced by a China Electronic Technology Manufacturing Factory. It is said to be similar to an abacus, so I bought five of them. You can use them. By the way, remember to fill in your feedback."

The calculator production factory is indeed called China Electronic Technology Manufacturing Factory, and its reputation is not that big.

But this is its external name. In fact, its internal name is Yao Ling Zero Factory, which is a subordinate unit of Zhenhua Research Institute.

Once the calculators are produced, of course they will be given priority for use in the mainland.

This is also a process of product testing.

Although in the laboratory, this is a very mature product.

Just because it has gone through a lot of relevant tests, even Du Mingli and Lao Chongguang have done a lot of beating tests.

As we all know, many people will pick up and use palm-sized electronic products.

No matter what, the calculator may fall to the ground during use, either accidentally, not paying attention, or intentionally.

If this thing cannot be used because it fell to the ground, is it too fragile?

As an electronic product produced by Zhenhua Research Institute, Chen Guohua must ensure high quality.

Anyway, the quality of calculators here in the mainland must be somewhat acceptable.

But if it is exported to foreign countries, the appearance must be good-looking, and the product quality will be relatively poor.

For example, here in the mainland, they are similar to those brick mobile phones of Nokia. When exported abroad, they are similar to mobile phones like Samsung.

To put it simply, the calculators sold here in the mainland are practical and durable, while in foreign countries they are beautiful and good-looking. In terms of product quality, they are relatively inferior.

Chen Guohua knows one thing very well, that is, no matter how good the product is, it is not as good as a product that has found the right market positioning.

Just because there are no perfect products, only products that are suitable for consumers.

Some people like the beautiful appearance, some people only covet its practical functions, and some people hope that it can be more cool and stunning, taking the high-end route that no one has and I have, and what they want is full of style. .

Therefore, each of them has different concerns, so they need to work hard on product design.

And the product quality is the same. It is definitely not a super-high-quality product that has all the functions.

For example, waterproofing, high temperature resistance, ultra-low temperature resistance, etc. How can it be achieved?

There is definitely no high-quality electronic product that can be produced once and for all, and what Chen Guohua wants to do most is to squeeze out some functions little by little every year, just like squeezing out toothpaste, and then sell them to foreigners at a high price.

Here, he must learn from Apple in the original time and space.

They are the masters of this way.

"calculator?"

The whole family was very surprised, and Yun Wanshang even frowned:

"What are we doing with this calculator? And you can just buy one. If you buy five, that's too much, right?"

"It's okay, it's not expensive, it's only two hundred yuan per unit."

Chen Guohua said nonchalantly that five calculators were just two months' salary for him.

He became a second-level researcher in July last year and a professor at Peking University in September last year.

The wages of these two jobs have not increased yet, but he has now saved more than 6,000 yuan.

Because in addition to his basic salary, he occasionally published a few mathematics papers to increase his sense of presence.

In fact, the mathematics paper was not what Chen Guohua wanted to write, but foreigners like Erdesh would pull him to write the paper together whenever they had the chance.

In addition, Lu Qiaoshan, the editor-in-chief of the Mathematics Journal, also asked him for manuscripts from time to time.

Because of this, Chen Guohua was forced to earn these royalties.

In other words, his royalties became living expenses, but his two wages were directly saved.

If he continues like this, he will soon become a household worth ten thousand yuan next year.

Therefore, now that we have such a good opportunity, we should regard it as supporting national construction.

Furthermore, when the calculator is priced, it does not exceed the cost price. It is really not expensive.

Anyway, if you buy it, it's best to use it. It doesn't matter if you don't use it, just treat it as a toy for children.

Chen Xiaoyue and the three sisters, plus Chen Yuanchao, and Aunt Hu Ping.

It just so happens that the five of them can use a calculator. As for the rest of the family, to be honest, they can't use it.

"Two hundred yuan? So expensive?"

Yu Moli and Chen Lihua all exclaimed, and Chen Gonglu frowned even more:

"Where did you get the ticket?"

"Dad, do you think I won't have a ticket? The boss gave me the tickets, and I have five more here. Do you want them?"

Seeing Chen Guohua casually take out five calculator tickets, Chen Gonglu was speechless.

He seems to have forgotten that his son's identity is different. Purchasing such a calculator, even if it is expensive and important, is not a big deal for Chen Guohua.

At this time, Chen Xiaomin and the other children had already taken apart the calculator and started playing with it according to the instructions.

Hu Pinggu had been playing with it for a while and couldn't put it down.

"Guohua, this thing is great. What is it called?" "Oh, it's a calculator. Is it the same product as a computer?"

"Oh, no, this thing is really easy to use. In the future, when I work in the street office, it will be much simpler. I no longer have to worry about calculations."

She works in the street office and encounters a lot of trivial things every day, but these things are really annoying.

There are also a lot of little things about computing.

For example, the winter cabbage storage activities every winter, people counting, etc. These things are the responsibility of the subdistrict office.

Although the sub-district office is also equipped with accountants, many of the tasks Hu Pinggu is responsible for are related to this calculation.

Therefore, now that we have such a calculator, it is much more convenient and simpler.

"Haha, sister-in-law, you just like it."

Chen Guohua smiled, but Hu Pinggu said, just wait, I will get you the money.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? You don't need to give me this money. If you really want to get money, then write this feedback form for me."

Two hundred yuan is a small sum of money to him, but to Hu Pinggu, it is a big sum of money.

Normally, people often help him take care of his children, but now they give him a calculator, which is quite a lot.

You know, he now has two children, and Yu Moli himself has to go to school and doesn't have much time to take care of his children.

Therefore, this calculator really has to be bought to the other party.

Besides, the family should help each other, and he didn't lack the money himself, so there was nothing to worry about.

On the contrary, his own salary is high, and it is best to use part of it.

Otherwise, it would probably be donated.

In this era, many people with high salaries take the initiative to donate money.

In addition to their own ideological consciousness, there is also the social atmosphere of this era.

Having more money is not a good thing, it can even be a bad thing.

Nowadays, the person with the highest salary should be Mei Lanfang, with a monthly salary of 2,100 yuan.

Yes, that's the number.

And this is the salary after Mei Lanfang himself asked for two salary cuts.

And such a salary is already very, very low for Mei Lanfang.

Just because during the Republic of China, he just went to the Magic City to perform, and he didn't say what the performance was about.

The poster only had the words Mei Lanfang written on it. The whole theater was full, but his appearance fee was ten gold bars.

This shows how popular he was in that era.

Therefore, the salary of 2,100 yuan is very low for Mei Lanfang.

Mei Lanfang donated almost all of his salary.

For example, during the Peninsular War, he donated a lot of money.

These are the real artists of the older generation, not stars like Yishuang Yiru.

Hu Pinggu couldn't resist Chen Guohua, but Yun Wanshang and Chen Gonglu finally spoke, and Hu Pinggu put the money away.

Indeed, Chen Guohua does not lack this little money.

What's more, most of these five calculators were bought for Chen Xiaoyue and the three sisters.

As for Chen Yuanchao's one, he himself was quite proud, "Uncle, when I grow up and make money, I will return these two hundred yuan to you. Now just think that I borrowed it from you."

The whole family laughed.

Little brats, they are all so ignorant.

Chen Yuanchao was born in 1949. He is already twelve years old this year and will be sixteen in four years.

Regardless of whether he can go to college, Chen Guohua will advise him to join the army in advance.

As for Chen Xiaomin, her younger sister, she was born in 1953, and Chen Guohua had no better idea.

When she reaches the age of sixteen, arrange for her to work at China Resources Company.

I believe that with his strength, China Resources will definitely give him this face.

However, it would be better to build more manufacturing factories and recruit more high school students.

As long as these high school students have jobs, the situation may be different by then, right?

This year is already 1961, and Chen Guohua is not sure whether he can do better. He can only continue to work hard and see how his opponent will act.

Maybe Kennedy and others have different ways of dealing with it?

The family quickly accepted the calculator and had a great time playing with it.

Just when little kids like Chen Xiaomin couldn't put it down with the calculator, Hu Pinggu had already returned to the street office with the calculator in her arms.

Wang Chunmei, Liu Xiaoqin, Li Cuihua and other employees of the street office all looked at the calculator in Hu Pinggu's hand with wide eyes.

"Xiao Hu, where did this calculator come from? I think it just appeared yesterday, right?"

At this moment, Wang Chunmei was also extremely surprised.

Good guy, not even one of her directors has used a calculator, but you, a junior staff member, have already used one?

"My brother-in-law bought this calculator. The leader of his unit gave him a ticket. He also has a high salary. Plus, I usually help him take care of his children, so he bought me this calculator."

Hu Pinggu wasn't showing off, she was just stating the facts.

"I want to return the money to my brother-in-law, but my parents have spoken."

hiss!

Hearing Aunt Hu Ping's words, Wang Chunmei and others took a deep breath.

Immediately changed the topic to the calculator.

After all, Chen Guohua is a highly paid person, and everyone knows this very well.

As the youngest mathematics professor at Peking University, not only does he have a high salary, but also the most important thing is royalties.

I can't compare to it, and I can't envy it either.

Let’s study how to use the calculator.

But Wang Chunmei didn't stay long before she was called away by a phone call.

When Wang Chunmei came back, she also had a calculator in her hand.

It is the calculator purchased from the above unified purchase and has arrived.

A unit like the street office definitely needs a calculator.

There are also financial departments in many units, as well as design institutes, financial departments and other units. They all need calculators very much.

Qiu Zongyue personally took action, and Chen Guohua also personally explained the functions and office efficiency of the calculator to the leaders.

In addition, it is now a product being trialled in the mainland, which will be of great help to exports abroad in the future.

It is for this reason that the higher authorities require many business units to purchase calculators one after another, and even Chen Guohua himself has set a role model.

So Wang Chunmei brought back a calculator.

It can be said that in just a few days, the entire capital, Jincheng and other surrounding areas consumed more than 10,000 calculators.

In addition, thousands of units left the capital and were sent to the Kingdom of Sichuan and Shu, the Magic City, Baiyun City and other places.

Especially the Baiyun City side is the top priority.

Because it is close to Hong Kong Island, many foreigners have come here in the past year.

Sending the calculator here will let these foreigners know for the first time that there are already calculators in the mainland.

At the same time, foreigners like them can also understand what a calculator is.

Even though tens of thousands of Anita computers have been sold in Europe and the United States, there are still many people who don't know about its existence.

It's simple. Not everyone has access to a calculator.

Tens of thousands of calculators, scattered in such a large market as Europe and the United States, really cannot make a lot of money.

On the CUHK campus, Zheng Zengtong also received a calculator.

But after playing with it for a while, he threw it to the school finance office.

It was only because the finance office needed a calculator more, and Zheng Zengtong was a professor of mathematics, so his calculation ability was much better than the calculator.

"Is this the latest product from Beijing? A calculator?"

Soon, the addition of a calculator at CUHK sparked a small-scale discussion.

In comparison, the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing is much quieter.

Hua Luogeng also has a calculator in his hand, just because the Chinese Academy of Sciences also purchased more than a dozen calculators.

"He is indeed the most talented young man in our country, and he is actually able to develop such a calculator."

After looking at the calculator, Hua Luogeng had complicated eyes and said with emotion.

As a mathematician, even the first person in mathematics in China, Hua Luogeng is very familiar with and unfamiliar with the calculator in front of him.

What he was familiar with were the above functions, because previous computers had these functions. Even when he was abroad, he had seen some antique-like calculators.

It's just that later calculators evolved into today's computers, and their functions have become more complex and varied.

Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, Chen Guohua actually took out a palm-sized calculator.

Of course Hua Luogeng is very clear about the role of such a calculator.

The price of two hundred yuan is a bit expensive, but its practicality is beyond doubt.

Many people can now be liberated from abacus, and office efficiency can definitely be steadily improved.

And it is easy to carry, which will be more prominent for commercial purposes.

For example, some foreign business people cannot put it down after seeing such a calculator.

Many businessmen have barely enough computing power, especially when calculating huge numbers, which can cause delays.

After having such a calculator, haha, it will be much more convenient.

This is definitely a revolutionary invention and an epoch-making product.

Wu Wenjun and others next to him also tried to play with the calculator and were equally impressed.

They don't need such a calculator, after all, their computing power is stronger than a calculator.

But to be honest, they themselves are very excited about such a product.

Min Naida and others on the opposite side looked at the calculator with more complex expressions.

Since the Institute of Materials Science and Technology was abolished, when they returned to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they found that things had changed here.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, this world is no longer the world they are familiar with.

In the past year or so, they have become accustomed to their current work.

Since they had heard nothing about Chen Guohua, they thought that Chen Guohua was just a professor at Peking University.

But when they saw the calculator in front of them, they realized that Chen Guohua had been doing computer research all along, but they didn't know it.

I have long heard that the military has a scientific research unit called Zhenhua Research Institute, which has replaced the Computer Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and has become the number one research institute in the field of computer science in the mainland.

Now it seems that Chen Guohua should be working in the Zhenhua Research Institute.

And the small and exquisite calculator in front of you should be Chen Guohua's invention, right?

Haha, China Electronics Technology Manufacturing Factory?

After weighing the calculator, Wu Jikang's expression became more complicated.

He is also engaged in computer research and development, so why is Chen Guohua so good?

The calculator does not have many functions, but how to put these calculation programs on the memory and how to achieve mass production are the key.

Because the more and more complex the calculation programs are, the greater the memory space required.

Wu Jikang also heard that the Zhenhua Research Institute had begun to develop some more powerful memory technology. Although he didn't know exactly how much data this technology could store, it must be quite large.

And the space occupied by such a large memory should be quite large, right?

Including other parts, how did Chen Guohua manage to fit so many parts into such a small calculator?

Wang Chuanying and Zhu Yongnian were also puzzled. A palm-sized calculator was incredible.

From the current point of view, it is indeed worthy of what Hua Luogeng said: This is an epoch-making product.

These professors and experts at the Chinese Academy of Sciences all have complicated emotions, and they don’t know what they are thinking.

At this time, Chen Guohua was sitting in the office, chatting with Qiu Zongyue.

"Guohua, the feedback forms have been handed in now. Take a look at them as soon as possible. If there is nothing that needs improvement, then hurry up and start production."

"Leader, why are you so impatient?"

Chen Guohua heard this and joked with a smile.

The reason why Qiu Zongyue is so anxious is of course that he hopes to produce it as soon as possible and then arrange for China Resources to export it.

Want to make a lot of money!

Although the calculator also doesn't sell for much money, because the external price is US$899 per unit.

Selling 10,000 units would only cost US$8.99 million, while one million units would cost US$899 million.

But how many years will it take to sell one million calculators?

Don’t think that people are all fools and don’t know how to seize this market.

There are even other ways to force this calculator to withdraw from the market.

After all, it’s all pure money. When capitalists see it, their eyes will definitely shine.

"Of course I'm anxious. We haven't had any income for several months. Alas!"

Hearing Qiu Zongyue's words, Chen Guohua couldn't help but said happily:

"Boss, isn't that right? Didn't you just earn nearly one million US dollars last month?"

The unit price of diapers exported by China Resources is US$0.8 per piece, which is very expensive.

However, due to the high quality, other competitors such as Procter & Gamble did not come up with similar products in time, so facing such a blank market, Howard naturally made a lot of money.

In the two months of July and August, he purchased more than two million diapers from China Resources, and almost all of them were sold out.

China Resources itself wanted to find its own sales channels in North America, but found that it was not that simple.

If foreign capital wants to operate there, there are many procedures.

What's more, it is China Resources Company from Hong Kong Island, so the superiors directly made things difficult.

Therefore, either China Resources will find someone else, or it will have to let Howard make the money.

Although the profit is only a few cents, Liu Guanzhong also wants it very much.

For now, all we can do is wait.

Two million pieces of diapers, at a unit price of US$0.8, are equivalent to a monthly income of US$800,000.

In fact, the diaper factory's production capacity can only produce 500,000 pieces before July.

But in late June, Howard placed an order for 1.5 million pieces in advance, so the diaper factory's production capacity increased again.

The production capacity of one million diapers per month is almost the limit.

If you still want to increase production capacity, you need to put some effort into raw materials.

"You still have the nerve to say it?" Qiu Zongyue rolled his eyes when he heard this:

"You said it yourself, what's the use of this little money? You might as well sell transistors or chips."

Chen Guohua chuckled and said:

"Since you, the leader, are so anxious to make money, I'll hurry up and work. I'll ask the leader to help me inspect the electronics factory."

Qiu Zongyue said:

"I don't understand anything, why did you ask me to go there?"

There is really no one else that subordinates can arrange work for their leaders.

But Qiu Zongyue knew what Chen Guohua meant, which was to see if there were any mice or the like and catch them on the way.

In response, Chen Guohua smiled and said nothing.

After watching Qiu Zongyue leave, Chen Guohua gathered the R&D personnel together and asked them to briefly classify the more than 10,000 feedback forms he had collected.

Chen Guohua still wants to say that there are no perfect products, only suitable products.

But after the R&D personnel made statistics, Chen Guohua couldn't help but laugh and cry when he saw the results.

There is almost nothing that needs to be changed, such as whether the product will heat up, whether the battery will have other adverse reactions, etc.

There is no negative feedback on these issues.
