The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

On a hilltop far away from the base, a small team was advancing nearby.

From time to time they looked up to the sky, because there was a small black dot over there.

"Niu Datou, do you think you can really see clearly that little guy flying in the sky? It's a little big, and it's at least three to four hundred meters away. Can you still see it clearly?"

"Captain Zhang, don't look down on me. Although I, Niu Erzhu, am a farmer from the countryside, I never lie."

"Okay, okay, you can see it, now it's okay, right?"

The mission of this team is to protect the drone in the sky and prevent it from being taken away after it accidentally falls.

There are no positioning chips now, let alone satellites.

Therefore, we can only use such stupid methods to prevent accidents.

"Captain Zhang, if there is an unexpected situation, can I shoot?"

Suddenly, at this moment, Niu Erzhu spoke, his expression extremely serious and nervous, and the sniper rifle in his hand quickly aimed at the small black dot in the sky.

"What the hell, don't hit the drone at a height of several hundred meters."

Captain Zhang cursed loudly and squinted his eyes, not knowing what was going on on the other side of the sky.

How old is a peregrine falcon?

The general body length is 41 to 50 centimeters, and the weight is about 650 to 800 grams.

The flight altitude is generally in the airspace below four thousand meters.

At this time, the peregrine falcon in the sky should be swooping at a distance of two to three thousand meters. To people on the ground, this is a black spot the size of a bean. How can you see it clearly?

Even Captain Zhang didn't notice anything unexpected, but Niu Erzhu had already pulled out his gun.

"Captain Zhang, I can hit it. There is a bird above, and it swoops down. My gun can hit it. I apply to shoot!"

Niu Erzhu spoke very quickly, but kept aiming at the peregrine falcon in the sky, waiting for the opponent to enter the shooting range.

Because the sniper rifle in his hand was a North American product captured on the battlefield on the peninsula, and it was very profitable.

At this time, Captain Zhang hadn't said anything yet, but two other team members beside him exclaimed.

Then while Captain Zhang was stunned, Niu Erzhu had already pulled the trigger.

Bang!

There was a loud noise in the sky, and a cloud of blood mist bloomed in the air.

That's a ball of blood mist!

At an altitude of three to four hundred meters, such blood mist can still be seen slightly clearly.

It was precisely because of this that Captain Zhang was so dumbfounded.

Several other team members also shouted: Wocao, Niu Datou, you are really awesome!

Teammates all know that the sniper rifle in Niu Datou's hand is very powerful. He usually shoots objects five to six hundred meters away without any problems.

Because this guy's marksmanship is very good, he didn't expect that Niu Erzhu could kill a high-speed moving object with one shot?

Before, it wasn't like there weren't leaders from other teams who wanted to grab the second pillar.

But this kid is also stubborn and unwilling to leave.

So Captain Zhang personally formed an investigation team.

In other words, everyone in their team is a talent.

However, even so, no one expected that Niu Erzhu was so amazing. Such a small thing could not only be discovered in advance, but also hit.

"Captain Zhang, I hit!"

Seeing Niu Erzhu's happy look, Captain Zhang cursed:

"Asshole, how dare you disobey my order? Go back and run ten kilometers for me, hum!"

"Hey, Captain Zhang, I understand."

It was said to be punishment, but to Niu Erzhu, this punishment was child's play.

After the scolding, Captain Zhang was still a little confused. Why was the bird beaten into blood mist?

"I know Captain Zhang. The bird probably flew too fast, so after colliding with the bullet, it exploded instantly."

Another team member explained, but Captain Zhang glared:

"Nonsense! Niu Datou, look how the drone is doing? Is it injured?"

As soon as these words came out, Niu Erzhu immediately looked at it intently, and then reported: "Team Zhang, no problem, the drone is not injured."

hiss!

They were treating the drone like a human being and actually used the word 'injured' to describe it.

But, in fact, their superiors did say so.

Let them protect this drone with their lives, because this is the latest scientific research product of the institute and will be equipped in the army in the future.

Anyway, they don’t understand very well, but they understand what the leader says, so they will protect them to the death.

In the base, Chen Guohua, Qiu Zongyue, Xue Jinquan, Yao Shiqiong and others standing in front of the monitor were all stunned.

Good guy!

The images transmitted from the monitor are transmitted almost in real time without much delay.

Xue Jinquan had just controlled the drone and started to dodge, but the small black spot above turned into a mass of blood mist.

Good guy!

It’s so dangerous!

Because from Yao Shiqiong's exclamation to Xue Jinquan controlling the drone to dodge, it was all completed in a very short period of time.

You know, when the monitor can already see a bird, it means that the bird is very close to the drone.

And the peregrine falcon is very fast, it can almost arrive in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, before anyone could react, the bird turned into a ball of blood mist, which was extremely terrifying.

"What exactly happened? Why did this bird suddenly turn into blood mist?"

At this moment, Yao Shiqiong and Xue Jinquan were very surprised.

Chen Guohua took a deep breath and said:

"It must have been our soldiers who shot and intercepted the bird, right?"

When he said this, his tone was somewhat hesitant.

why?

Because this conclusion is really unbelievable.

But other than this explanation, there is no other explanation.

In his previous life, Chen Guohua watched those anti-Japanese dramas when he was a child and thought they were okay.

When I grew up, I directly questioned whether these divine dramas were real gods.

It wasn't until I later read those records related to the Peninsular War, such as the discipline of special merit, that I realized how weak the dramas were.

Real warriors are definitely more awesome than the plots in anti-Japanese dramas.

In 1938, Lu Bu, a member of the army, took the lead in charging into the enemy's army during a head-on confrontation.

In full view of the public, a man holding two knives killed 27 Japanese soldiers. His momentum was no less than that of Li Kui from the Water Margin.

Even so, he only received a first-class merit medal.

A sharpshooter in 1946 led a platoon of troops to face the troops of two opposing regiments without fear.

As we all know, a standard platoon has a strength of thirty men, and a standard regiment has a strength of three thousand men.

This sharpshooter named Wei Laiguo directly picked up the Sanba Gai and started to fight back.

Fighting from 5 a.m. to sunset in the afternoon, Wei Laiguo repelled five enemy attacks.

According to rough statistics, Wei Laiguo fired 120 rounds of ammunition and killed 110 enemies, including a large number of commanders.

When the whole platoon of soldiers saw how powerful Wei Laiguo was, their morale was naturally boosted, and they fought together to resist and successfully completed the mission.

Later, he completed other more arduous tasks many times, and only then was he awarded the Special Merit Medal, as well as many first-class collective merit medals.

It can be seen from this that the anti-Japanese drama is still small in scale and is not considered a 'divine drama' at all. It is just an 'artistic creation' based on history.

Hearing Chen Guohua's words, Xue Jinquan and others opened their eyes wide and exclaimed:

"How can this be?"

Qiu Zongyue smiled and said:

“It’s really possible”

"Yes, what the leader said makes sense. When their team comes back, won't they know it?"

Chen Guohua's words made Xue Jinquan's eyes light up:

"Director, how about we go find that team now?"

The drone can just drop in altitude and find that team.

In this way, we can directly determine whether the situation just now was the work of that team.

But this proposal was quickly rejected by Chen Guohua, who shook his head.

"Keep testing!"

He didn't explain anything. After all, the test was more important.

As for telling the truth?

unimportant!

Drone testing is more important!

Xue Jinquan, Yao Shiqiong and others immediately felt regretful, but did not say anything else.

The drone continued its journey and continued to complete the remaining tests.

For the next time, everyone stayed in the tent, waiting for subsequent test results.

A whole morning passed before Chen Guohua and the others ended this drone test.

Overall, this test was very perfect, fully in line with Chen Guohua's design plan, and there were no surprises.

Or to be precise, the bird in the blood mist state was the only surprise.

But this accident did not become a real accident.

With the protection of such top snipers, this drone mission was a complete success.

Soon, that team came back.

After confirmation, the blood mist captured by the drone was indeed shot by Niu Erzhu in the team, and it was a peregrine falcon.

Chen Guohua and others who learned about this situation were filled with admiration.

That's a peregrine falcon, good guy, the bullet actually hit it from a distance of several hundred meters?

And it still hit the target with one shot, that’s awesome!

To be honest, Chen Guohua was very surprised and admired.

Qiu Zongyue was also slightly surprised, but fortunately he was well-informed after all, and of course he knew about the crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the army.

However, when he learned that the other party was Niu Erzhu who had participated in the Peninsular War, and after the original unit number was reported, Qiu Zongyue felt that there was nothing surprising.

Because he had also heard about the super heroes of the Peninsular War, and they were really awesome.

As for why Niu Erzhu is still serving in the army, Chen Guohua doesn't know.

After all, super heroes will definitely be treated differently.

In the evening, Chen Guohua returned home, happily hugged his daughter and kissed her little face.

"Guohua, why are you so happy today?"

Seeing Chen Guohua not only kissing his daughter, but also picking up Chen Wei and kissing her, Chen Gonglu asked in surprise.

On weekdays, Chen Guohua seldom kissed Chen Wei. Perhaps boys were more naughty and mischievous, so he was taught more with sticks.

"Dad, there is indeed a good thing today, but I can't talk about it."

Chen Guohua chuckled, then changed the topic and said:

"Dad, you are retired now, is there anything you are not used to?"

Last month, Chen Gonglu said he would retire.

It's already early July, and he officially retired two days ago.

Now that you are retired, you don't need to go back to work in the workplace, so it will naturally be much easier.

When you are leisurely at home, taking care of your children, the day goes by faster.

"I'm sure you're not used to it. This kid Weiwei is so naughty. He's exactly like you when you were a kid."

As soon as Lao Chen opened his mouth, he felt somewhat resentful, but this was a happy complaint.

They say they are related across generations. Of course Chen Gonglu liked Chen Wei's grandson very much, and he usually doted on this child the most.

It can even be said to be doting.

When Yu Moli walked in behind him, he immediately looked at Chen Weida and said:

"Weiwei, are you being naughty again? Did you hit your grandpa?"

It's normal for a two-year-old to hit his grandfather.

Not to mention hitting grandpa, hitting Chen Guohua and Yu Moli was a common thing.

And many times, if it weren't for Chen Guohua to educate Chen Wei, the little guy would then run to his grandfather to complain.

Either Yun Wanshang hit him, and he went to complain to his mother.

This little brat is not only naughty, but he also loves to complain.

The little guy ignored his mother and ran away with a groan. When Yu Moli saw this, he chased after her.

Children need to be educated well.

After a while, when Chen Guohua was holding his daughter and chatting with everyone, he heard Chen Wei crying from the room.

Okay, the little guy must be disobedient again.

Everyone is used to this naughty and mischievous child, and he cries no matter how many times a day.

It may take a little older, maybe three or four years old, to stop crying so often.

Listening to the little kid's cry, Chen Guohua didn't feel noisy. After all, this was home.

To be honest, the family in this life is much better than in the previous life, and Chen Guohua can no longer ask for more.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, Chen Guohua first went back to Zhenhua Research Institute to arrange things for the day, and then went to Di'anmen Street.

In the Yamen office, he first met Qiu Zongyue, and then went with the latter to meet with the leader.

When he arrived at the office, Chen Guohua saw Liu Guanzhong.

The latter was quite nervous at this time, especially when he saw Chen Guohua, he was very excited.

"Comrade Chen Guohua, I have finally met you. I really admire you. You don't know those foreigners."

Liu Guanzhong was extremely excited when he met Chen Guohua for the first time.

Even if Qiu Zongyue was next to him, he just said a simple greeting, then held Chen Guohua's hand and started talking non-stop.

You know, this place is not anywhere else.

It can be seen that Liu Guanzhong was so excited that he was a little presumptuous.

Chen Guohua was a little confused, but following Liu Guanzhong's words, he gradually understood why the other party was so excited.

It turned out that the products of Zhenhua Research Institute were highly sought after by foreigners, which shocked Liu Guanzhong and expressed his sincere admiration.

Especially this time, the lithography machine received a check of US$1.16 billion from Cray Corporation, Texas Instruments, Steward Engineering and other companies.

These funds are all checks that can be exchanged normally at banks, and the money has been converted into gold or US dollars and deposited in Bank of China.

That's why Liu Guanzhong was so excited.

Even when he spoke, he was a little elated.

Chen Guohua could still smile and listen at first, but the other party had an endless attitude, which made it impossible for anyone to interrupt.

And when he was about to speak, the leader also came in at the door.

When the leader arrives, it means that the meeting is about to begin.

Of course, before the meeting started, the leader still exchanged greetings with Chen Guohua and others before getting down to the main topic.

"Leader, this is the printed plan."

As soon as the meeting started, Chen Guohua handed out the documents in his hand.

This plan is clearly the manufacturing development plan mentioned by Chen Guohua and Qiu Zongyue at the base yesterday.

This is the development plan of the semiconductor industry, and it has a lot to do with the transistors, chips, Huayue calculators, Huaxin radios, table tennis arcade machines and photolithography machines sold by China Resources today.

Among them, the photolithography machine is the main technology, and the chips are also pretty good.

However, chips cannot be mass-produced in a short period of time.

Countries such as Europe and the United States do not have as large a population as the mainland. In other words, their markets are actually very limited.

In addition, in the 1960s and 1970s, the world's economy was very average.

Even if it is the world's largest economy, the annual gross national product of North America is only a few hundred billion US dollars, which is really not much.

As we all know, Sears and IBM, two giants in their respective industries, have annual revenue that accounts for almost one percent of North America's annual gross national product.

In other words, North America’s current economic development is actually very unbalanced.

In fact, most of the profits are made by the top companies in these industries. The road of small and medium-sized enterprises is very difficult.

In that time and space of later generations, small and medium-sized enterprises can live very prosperously, and that is because of the Internet.

Now, it is very difficult to develop the Internet.

Chen Guohua can only make development plans that are beneficial to the mainland and help foreign countries by the way.

With the stingy temperament of North American capitalists who have been making money from abroad all year round, they will definitely be tempted to use the knife.

In fact, in today's world, to put it bluntly, there are very few countries that can truly be independent.

Tokyo, Federal West Germany, London, Paris, etc., these areas were colonized either economically or otherwise.

For example, Tokyo has no autonomy at all.

Behind the scenes, they are all controlled by this group of capitalists in North America. On the other side is Moscow. They are very awesome. At least in this era, they are one of the two major hegemons in the world.

Think of the Yalta system back then.

Well, Moscow did not reap the benefits of the Bretonson system and failed to catch up.

The current situation is relatively strange. China Resources can still make money from Europe and the United States without relying on either side.

If Lyndon Johnson, now the squad leader of North America, makes some small moves, to be honest, China Resources' life may be relatively difficult.

However, no matter what the external situation is like, our strength is to find ways to deal with problems as they arise.

There is nothing to be afraid of!

Therefore, chips cannot be mass-produced, and that is a commodity with a high unit price for export.

Earn the money first, this is the last word.

The leaders looked through the plan and realized that just one photolithography machine covered so many fields.

Knowledge in multiple disciplines such as optics, mechanics, materials, automation, chemistry, electronic circuits, etc.

"Comrade Xiao Chen, since the photolithography machine manufacturing you are talking about covers so many fields and disciplines, if our technology cannot lead in the future, won't the entire industry chain suffer a devastating blow?"

Not long after Chen Guohua finished speaking, a leader opened his mouth for consultation.

"We all know that Western technology is very powerful. They have a sound industrial system. If they want to catch up with us, it shouldn't take a lot of time."

When Qiu Zongyue heard this, he couldn't help but want to speak.

Chen Guohua suddenly smiled and said to Qiu Zongyue, "Leader, do you want to help me answer this question?"

"Is that okay? Let me talk first? There are still some deficiencies, can you help me fill them in?" Qiu Zongyue said eagerly.

Seeing Chen Guohua nod, Qiu Zongyue immediately responded to the leader.

Regarding this point, he, who has frequent contact with Chen Guohua, certainly knows it very well.

Today, Europe and the United States, or more accurately, North America, have no so-called technological leadership at all.

Take photolithography machines for example. Fairchild Semiconductor currently has the most advanced photolithography machine manufacturing technology.

However, what they produced was only a proximity lithography machine.

What about Zhenhua Research Institute?

Qiu Zongyue glanced at everyone, asked a question, and then said immediately:

"Proximity lithography machine technology was developed last year. Because we needed to sell chips, Guohua temporarily developed such backward technology."

“You may not know much about the technical process of lithography machines. From easy to difficult, they are divided into stepper lithography machines, stepper scanning lithography machines, immersion lithography machines, deep ultraviolet lithography machines, and extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. Engraving machine."

"At present, Zhenhua Research Institute has been studying deep ultraviolet lithography machine technology for more than a year, and is almost completing the research and development of such lithography machine technology."

"In other words, if foreign countries want to catch up with our Zhenhua Research Institute, they must optimize based on proximity lithography machines."

"And if they want to come up with a stepper lithography machine, it won't take them two or three years. It's simply impossible."

"As for whether they will surpass the stepper scanning lithography machine and the immersion lithography machine and directly catch up with our existing deep ultraviolet lithography machine technology, it will take at least ten or fifteen years."

"There is also the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine. According to Guohua, this is a type of chip that can produce single-digit nanometer-level chips. Even if we develop it now with a nationwide effort, it will take at least twenty years to develop it. come out."

hiss!

Everyone in the entire conference room was stunned.

Twenty years, and still a nationwide effort?

Isn't that a bit exaggerated?

Several leaders couldn't help but question this, and Qiu Zongyue suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Because he doesn't know much about extreme ultraviolet lithography technology and hasn't heard from Chen Guohua.

At the beginning, Chen Guohua and Zhang Jichuan and other super academics discussed some knowledge points in the cafeteria.

He didn't start chatting with Qiu Zongyue, not to mention he wasn't interested either.

Chen Guohua took over the conversation with a smile and said in a calm tone:

"Dear leaders, in fact, the technology of extreme ultraviolet lithography is indeed very difficult. We not only need to manufacture carbon dioxide lasers, but also need mirrors."

As we all know, extreme ultraviolet lithography technology covers a wider range of disciplines than lithography machines of other technical processes.

Because it involves mathematics, optics, fluid mechanics, polymer physics and chemistry, surface physics and chemistry, precision instruments, automation, software, pattern recognition and many other disciplines.

Almost after giving the leaders a brief lesson, Chen Guohua brought the topic back.

"I would like to add to the leader's question just now. Even if Europe and the United States really catch up, we actually still have a cost advantage, that is, our labor costs are relatively low. Any product that wants to make big money needs to be produced on a large scale."

"And our country has a large population, which is our current advantage. We can easily produce any product on a large scale, and the cost will of course be very low."

"Therefore, it is too early for us to talk about the technology of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. We should focus on the current proximity lithography machines."

But as soon as he said these words, the leader waved his hand and interrupted.

"Comrade Xiao Chen, first tell me about this extreme ultraviolet lithography machine. What effect do the chips it produces have on us?"

When Chen Guohua heard this, he immediately said seriously:

"The use is huge. If we have the ability to manufacture extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, it means that our country is already at the international leading level in industrial fields such as automation, software, precision instruments, etc., and is even an era ahead of all countries in the world. level"

"Chips produced by extreme ultraviolet lithography machines can be used in supercomputers, making it more possible for us to make our supercomputers operate at a speed of 10 billion times."

"And in many cutting-edge fields, such as digital cameras, mobile phones, robots, intelligence and other fields, chips are the foundation."

"Just like screws today, they are everywhere in the industry, and the same will be true for chips in the future. They will be everywhere."

"In the future intelligent era, citizens of our entire country will not need to carry cash when going out, they will only need to wear a communication device with a chip."

Listening to the scene described by Chen Guohua, everyone in the conference room was stunned.

No one spoke to disturb Chen Guohua, they just listened quietly.

Although Chen Guohua's words became more and more outrageous, I always felt that this was not a dream.

Because Chen Guohua took out a calculator the size of a palm and a radio the size of a finger.

From the two products here, everyone knows that everything Chen Guohua said is not illusion.

The future trend of technological development will inevitably be the miniaturization of products, making technological products more intelligent and more convenient to serve mankind.

Chen Guohua stated that a little kid wearing a smart watch can make voice or video calls with grandparents thousands of kilometers away. This is not an illusion.

Because now through optical cable technology, Chen Guohua has already come up with video calling technology.

"In addition to these, if our country wants to develop aerospace in the future, it will also be inseparable from chips, and it will be even more dependent on chips."

After a pause, Chen Guohua continued:

"We all know that if you want to send a satellite to the sky, the smaller its weight, the better. So the same is true for electronic products."

"Why does our Zhenhua Research Institute like to study composite materials such as carbon fiber so much? Because this is the material technology that will be used in many fields in the future."

"Well, it's a bit far to say, but the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is just the future picture I just mentioned. The most important part of it is also an important foundation for whether we can reproduce the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the future."

At this point, Chen Guohua's mouth was already dry, so he picked up the water glass and took a sip.

In the conference room, everyone was silent.

Although what Chen Guohua said is clear and logical, it is only the future.

The road from now to the future requires a lot of sacrifices.

Therefore, it is too early to talk about the future. It is better to do the current work down-to-earth first.

"By the way, Comrade Guohua, does the CNC automation you are talking about also have a lot to do with these chips you mentioned?"

Hearing his husband's sudden question, Chen Guohua nodded.

CNC automation is the most important part of industrial development. It is difficult to skip it and directly enter intelligent production.

Simply put, one bite cannot make you fat.

Regarding automated production equipment such as CNC machine tools, Chen Guohua has paid great attention to technological updates in these aspects in the past few years.

It is currently used in brother units such as 985 Factory and 5341 Factory. Other machinery industry, automobile manufacturing and other industries have also begun to update, but not many.

Because it is a planned economy, CNC machine tools are not the most lacking thing in the mainland today.

why?

Just because the current industrial development in the mainland is extremely uneven.

It is the North that drives the South, but in fact, the South has almost no industry to speak of.

Before 1953, Moscow supported 141 projects that year.

It includes fields such as electricity, steel, coal, machinery, aluminum, chemistry, papermaking, etc. These are all products manufactured by heavy industry or products that are easy to export.

What does that mean?

That was the Peninsula War back then. It was necessary to ensure that Moscow's side could win this battle.

How can we win?

That definitely requires me to have a certain ability to manufacture heavy equipment.

That’s why there are projects such as electricity, steel, and machinery.

These projects are all in the north, with the Northeast accounting for 80% of the projects.

south?

not a single one!

Until Heru became the squad leader, the number of projects increased again and again, exceeding 156 projects.

At this time, several cousin provinces in the south had a few projects such as hydropower stations.

But not much.

At this time, the mainland was not only experiencing uneven development, but also had a very low level of industrialization.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to develop CNC machine tools on a large scale.

Many workers need a quick meal, and it's a well-known fact.

That was the middle of the year before last.

What are you pursuing now?

Industrialization and urbanization!

These two transformations are inseparable from population!

But now in the mainland, more than 95% of the population is agricultural.

Being a big agricultural country is no joke.

In addition to these reasons, there is still a lack of opportunities to develop CNC machine tools.

Fortunately, the opportunity has come now.

As China Resources exports more high value-added products, the pace of factory construction will accelerate.

At this time, the speed of worker training will definitely not keep up with the production speed.

So CNC automation is a complement to this.

After listening to Chen Guohua's explanation, Mr. Chen nodded immediately to express that he understood.

Chen Guohua is very familiar with many situations in the mainland and abroad.

Therefore, the manufacturing development plan he proposed is really suitable for the current economic development of the mainland.

At the same time, Chen Guohua also said that in order to take into account the development of the north and the south, it is also imperative to transfer some relatively simple factories to Baiyun City in the south.

Why is the technology simple?

Only in this way can you not be afraid of being remembered.

This side of the north is the capital after all. Those people want to cause trouble here?

Haha, I guarantee that the other party will never come back.

After all, Baiyun City is an important commercial port on the traditional Maritime Silk Road. It gathers many foreign businessmen and is relatively chaotic.

Therefore, it is not suitable to set up factories such as photolithography machines there.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour. In the first half, Chen Guohua made a statement, and in the second half, he answered questions from the leaders.

After the meeting, Chen Guohua returned to Zhenhua Research Institute.

To be honest, holding a meeting is more difficult than doing an experiment. After all, it is not an easy task to draw the pie for the leaders.

Regardless of this plan, 985 Factory and other sister units will be very busy in the next period of time.

After all, it is still very difficult to produce fifty-eight proximity lithography machines.

Although there are a few lithography machines that can use old machines, there must be more than fifty lithography machines.

Hong Kong Island, at the Star Ferry Pier in Victoria Harbor, a merchant ship is busy unloading cargo.

These goods are all table tennis arcade machines, and the people who signed for them are all foreigners.

There are Western and Eastern ones, but most of them are Western foreigners.

More than 10,000 pieces of equipment produced throughout June were all released at once.

In July, the production capacity will be even higher, reaching a monthly output of 50,000 units.

Therefore, China Resources is not worried about running out of goods, but is worried about whether second-rate dealers like Cray Company can sell the equipment smoothly.

At Kai Tak Airport, cars carrying table tennis arcade machines arrived at the airport warehouse. After all the goods arrived, they were installed together.

Raymond of Cray Company, who was the worst thief, contracted a cargo plane directly from North America to transport these game arcade machines.

After the plane arrived in Tokyo, it prioritized unloading several hundred units before taking off for North America.

After Sony, Toshiba and Fuji learned about this, they immediately started cursing.

Despicable and shameless Raymond, Ba Ge Ya Lu!

It's a pity that Yumon Saburo and the others only dare to say these words in private when no one is around.

Otherwise, they were really afraid of being heard by Raymond.

Because Tokyo at this time had not yet emerged from the haze of World War II.

How dare they show their teeth to their North American father?

You know, there are many aircraft carriers and bases outside Tokyo Bay.

So Saburo Yumon, Taro Jono and Ichiro Otsuchi were all quite scared.

Cray Company has already set up a branch in Tokyo to operate the former Hua Hin Radio.

Now that there is another ping pong arcade game, Cray's revenue data this year will definitely be very impressive.

As the equipment arrived in North America, Raymond couldn't wait to arrange staff to contact the bar owners and come to pick up the goods.

At the same time, he also arranged for train drivers to transport the remaining equipment to game console rooms in several cities.

That's right, it was Chen Guohua who proposed the game console room, asking Liu Guanzhong to inform Raymond and the others.

These are game arcade machines, not home versions.

So in addition to the bar, it is best to build a game console room.

Raymond had no doubts about the money-making ability of game arcades, so he fully accepted Liu Guanzhong's suggestions.

On the first day the arcade room opened, all the machines were occupied by teenagers.

Behind each machine, there are more than a dozen teenagers watching.

Twenty-four hours a day, no downtime.

After a week of continuous business, the situation has not slowed down, but has become more and more lively.

There are only thirty devices in one arcade room.

The fee is one dollar coin for half an hour and a fifty cent coin for fifteen minutes.

The price is still very expensive!

This means that for one device, the daily revenue is forty-eight US dollars, and for thirty devices, that is one thousand four hundred and forty US dollars.

Raymond purchased a total of 2,700 pieces of equipment. In addition to the 700 pieces of equipment in Tokyo and the 500 pieces of equipment sold to bar owners, there were still 1,500 pieces left.

Yes, Raymond was greedy. He directly intercepted 1,500 devices and opened 50 game console rooms.

And all these fifty game console rooms have brought him a lot of revenue.

Not to mention the investment and employee expenses in the game arcade, the cost of the game arcade alone will be recovered very quickly.

The revenue of one game arcade in a day is US$1,440, and the revenue of fifty arcades is US$72,000.

The unit price of the table tennis arcade machine purchased from China Resources Company is US$3,499, and the total expenditure of 1,500 units is US$5.25 million.

So based on the daily revenue of US$70,000, it takes about seventy-three days to recover the cost of US$5.25 million.

Seventy-three days is just two and a half months.

Including the costs of game consoles, employees, etc., Raymond plans to recover all costs in three and a half months.

Even so, the subsequent time will be profitable.

Just thinking about it, he would be able to earn US$70,000 a day in the future, which made Raymond extremely happy.

There are only thirty devices in a game console room, and the range of radiation is very limited.

According to the calculation, a city can accommodate one hundred game arcades.

Then the entire North America can accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of game arcades.

Even more than that!

Of course, this is just a theory. Even if there is a discount, there are only tens of thousands of game arcades, which is very impressive.

So, a week later, Raymond received news from Tokyo.
