The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

"What else can he say? We are all using our own technology anyway, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Qiu Zongyue said disdainfully:

"We deny it flatly, and they can't produce any evidence to refute it, so the matter can only be left alone."

"However, it's really weird that bastard Dean Rusk still wants to come to Zhenhua Research Institute."

"By the way, I asked Dean Rusk. They have indeed purchased a lot of titanium alloy materials from Moscow. If you want to take away this business in Moscow, I'm afraid it won't be that easy, right?"

After hearing Qiu Zongyue's words, Chen Guohua suddenly became very interested and said:
"There's no rush. Lyndon Johnson will come to the capital anyway, and we'll discuss the matter with each other in detail then."

"Our Shen City non-ferrous metal processing factory specializes in the production of titanium alloy materials. We have already produced and processed a lot of such materials, right?"

At first, the Yaoyao 618 titanium alloy material was handed over to another newly established factory for production, because Chen Guohua did not really want to cooperate with non-military companies.

But with the launch of the aero-engine project, Chen Guohua also discovered the limitations of military industrial enterprises.

You know, since the establishment of Zhenhua Research Institute, there have been no fewer than ten military industrial companies surrounding Zhenhua Research Institute.

This is because the establishment of Majuqiao Industrial Park has allocated a lot of productivity. Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the scientific research and production tasks in the field of national defense and military while ensuring the production of civilian products for foreign trade.

Therefore, it is also a last resort to let units such as Shen City Nonferrous Metal Processing Factory join in.

What's more, since they want to produce this kind of titanium alloy material of national defense and military grade, just let them wear military uniforms and that's it.

Anyway, there are not many foreigners in the mainland today.

What's more, we are in the era of planned economy. Changing from an ordinary state-owned enterprise to a military industrial enterprise is actually a matter of turning from left hand to right hand. It is not too simple.

After accepting the task assigned by the above, Shenshi Nonferrous Metal Processing Factory, of course, strode forward with its head held high.

The titanium alloy materials produced by the 618 Factory are relatively superior and are specially used to supply the two scientific research projects of fighter jets and bombers that Chen Guohua is researching.

Simply put, the titanium alloy materials produced by the 618 factory are currently the aviation materials with the best technology and the best production quality.

The titanium alloy materials produced by the Shen City Nonferrous Metal Processing Plant are supplied to the general military and defense fields, such as some ordinary fighter jets, warships, etc.

There is also preparation for the next super big order to snatch Moscow.

According to the history of the original time and space, next year, that is, in 1964, the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft will conduct its first flight test.

This means that Van de Graaff of the North American Aeronautical Industry Bureau may have contacted Moscow.

In fact, the contract has already been signed, and even the titanium alloy has been shipped to North America.

But no matter what, Chen Guohua felt that North America finally produced thirty-two Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft.

Even if the mainland takes away the business of ten aircraft, it will still be a super large order of more than 3 billion US dollars.

why?
You must know that the cost of a Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is as high as 500 million US dollars, and the weight of the reconnaissance aircraft is only 30 tons, of which titanium alloy accounts for 25 tons.

It can be imagined how expensive the material titanium alloy is.

A simple calculation, assuming that the price of 25 tons of titanium alloy materials is US$400 million, then the price of each ton of titanium alloy materials is US$16 million.

So, if the mainland can sell 250 tons of titanium alloy materials, it means that the revenue from this business will be 4 billion US dollars.

What if we can snatch the titanium alloy material order for twenty Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft?
Hiss, that’s $8 billion in revenue.

Chen Guohua did not think Qiu Zongyue and the others could withstand such revenue temptation.

"It is true that a lot of titanium alloy materials like this have been processed, but Guohua" Qiu Zongyue still had doubts and asked:

"This is also our first contact with the other party. It's our first contact to discuss such a business. I'm afraid it won't be that easy, right?"

"Leader, that's not the case." Chen Guohua shook his head and said:
"I don't know much about other aspects, but if it comes to business or technology, I think I still have a little say."

"With people from North America, you can talk to them about anything. Only when you talk about business can you touch their core."

"In a country where capital is everywhere, of course we have to talk about business and money with them. Otherwise, what would we talk about with each other? Talk about China's five thousand years of history?"

puff!
Hearing Chen Guohua's slightly naughty words, Qiu Zongyue couldn't help laughing.

Five thousand years of civilization history, isn’t this a slap in the face?
You know, the North American continent has a history of only 187 years, which is not even as good as the leaders in the mainland.

So what history are we talking about?
What's there to talk about?

If we really talked about history, I'm afraid Lyndon Johnson would be in blackface throughout.

In fact, while Chen Guohua and Qiu Zongyue were chatting, and when Dean Rusk returned to Washington to report to Lyndon Johnson, the latter was learning about some things about the mainland.

For example, history, land, humanities, etc., and as for the history part, Lyndon Johnson's mind was already buzzing.

He hired several Chinese teachers, and these Chinese teachers all learned history very well.

When giving Lyndon Johnson popular science history, starting directly from the slave society of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, this alone has already exhausted Lyndon Johnson’s brain capacity.

After the Zhou Dynasty, it came to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then to the Qin and Han Dynasties.

So many dynasties, each with a long history, directly silenced Lyndon Johnson.

Then he asked the Chinese teacher to just give a brief introduction to modern history and skip the rest.

However, before the Chinese teacher could continue the class, Dean Rusk came back.

After the Chinese teacher left, Lyndon Johnson chatted with Dean Rusk about the latter's gains from his trip to Pakistan.

"What? They don't admit it?"

After chatting for a while, Lyndon Johnson's eyes widened when he learned that the capital had denied that China Resources had stolen technology from their Aviation Industry Bureau.

"Then confront them and see if these technologies were stolen by them. Humph, thieves!"

Before Lyndon Johnson could finish speaking, Dean Rusk talked about another thing that made him feel incredible.

"President, it's like this. When I went to Beijing this time, they talked to me about titanium alloy materials. They even invited me to visit the Shen City Nonferrous Metal Processing Factory to visit their production workshop."

"They seem to want to sell us titanium alloy materials."

hiss!
When Lyndon Johnson heard this, his eyes widened even wider.

"This is impossible!"

How can qualified titanium alloy materials, or titanium alloy materials that can be used in the aerospace field, be so easy to produce?

Even the titanium alloy materials they produce in North America are just ordinary materials and are still far from qualified, let alone applied in the aerospace field.

Otherwise, how could Skunk Works be willing to negotiate with Moscow at a high price?
There are qualified titanium alloy materials in Moscow, but the asking price is too high, so this cooperation has been negotiated for more than a year, but it still has not been completely finalized.

why?
Just because the price was too expensive, Lyndon Johnson was not willing to pay for it.

Even Kennedy was not willing to pay for it at the time, not to mention that now that Brezhnev is in power, the price is even higher.

In this case, let's negotiate with Moscow first to see if it is possible to lower the price.

On the other side, they secretly asked scientific research institutions in North America to seize the time to develop titanium alloy materials.

Unfortunately, titanium alloy materials are not so easy to develop.

So this matter has been delayed again and again.

However, now, Lyndon Johnson heard an absurd conclusion from Dean Rusk: China Resources, an Eastern company, actually wants to sell titanium alloy materials to their Aviation Industry Bureau?

Isn't this just talk?
Good guy, you haven’t explained the technology of digital cameras and analog-to-digital converters yet, but you still want to sell them titanium alloy materials?
Suddenly, Lyndon Johnson looked at Dean Rusk in horror and said:

"Could it be that they stole titanium alloy material technology from Moscow?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head and denied it: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. They only have technical drawings and no equipment and technicians. They are blind."

In industry, in most fields, there is no possibility of overtaking in corners.

Because every screw represents all aspects of the entire industrial production field. Without a corresponding industrial chain, it is simply impossible to complete the manufacturing of these products.

Almost instantly, Lyndon Johnson and Dean Rusk both figured out one thing: the Huaxing digital SLRs and analog-to-digital converters sold by China Resources were really their own technical products.

However, the People's Republic of China in the East has only been founded for fourteen years. Where did they get the skilled workers?
If it was the engineers in Moscow who taught them, it is certainly impossible.

You must know that digital cameras are high-tech, and even North America itself has not cultivated corresponding workers, industrial chains, etc.

What's more, digital cameras involve a lot of complex and cutting-edge optical technologies, and the requirements for skilled workers are even higher!
Even North America does not have such an industrial chain, so how did China Resources do it?

Could it be said that they really have the strength to produce titanium alloy materials that can be used in the aerospace field?

Thinking of this, the expressions of Lyndon Johnson and Dean Rusk couldn't help but become even more ugly.

At the same time, they became more and more curious about the scientific research strength in the East.

Maybe it would be better to cooperate with the mainland!
After all, Moscow is becoming more and more powerful today.

Even Lyndon Johnson was overwhelmed.

Neither of them were people who became squad leaders according to formal procedures, but Brezhnev in Moscow took the initiative to ask Helu to step down.

On the contrary, it was Lyndon Johnson who missed it.

A few years ago, he ran for office with Kennedy, but his approval rating was not as good as the latter's, so he failed to win the position of monitor.

Unexpectedly, he still missed it.

I was lucky enough to miss out on the position of squad leader, but he was not as strong as Brezhnev.

What's more, in the field of aerospace, Moscow is very impressive and has created many firsts.

For example, recently, Valentina, a Moscow astronaut, has also entered space and successfully returned to Moscow.

The first male and female astronauts to enter space were both from Moscow.

And what about Washington?
Nothing!

Although they have established the Apollo moon landing program, how easy is it to realize this plan?
A few minutes later, Lyndon Johnson said with a complicated expression:

"It seems we have to hurry up. You should hurry up and make an appointment with the capital. We must go there as soon as possible."

They can't delay it any longer.

why?
As China Resources sells more and more Huaxing DSLRs, Moscow will definitely take notice.

When the time comes, they will take the Huaxing DSLR back to Moscow for research, and maybe they can complete the exploration of Mars before they do in North America.

The title of the first photo of the universe taken by humans must belong to North America, not Moscow.

As for the capital?
Lyndon Johnson and the others were not too worried.

After all, the aerospace industry is not that easy, and it is impossible for the mainland to achieve the ultimate in semiconductors, computers, digital cameras and other fields and also reach the world's leading level in aerospace. This is absolutely impossible!

The industrial level represented by the aerospace field is a larger industrial system and more technical engineers. It cannot be caught up in a short time.

Even if all the people in the East work together to provide only the aerospace industry, it will still be difficult.

"Then over in Moscow, should we give them a try?"

"That's for sure. You can notify the negotiation team when the time comes and tell them not to rush."

After hearing Lyndon Johnson's words, Dean Rusk nodded, indicating that he understood.

Palmdale neighborhood, California.

This residential area is not a real residential area, but a laboratory of the famous Lockheed Martin Company.

Skunk Works is just an officially recognized nickname in North America, their real name is Lockheed Martin.

The residential area where the laboratory is located was actually built in disguise with the help of the Walt Disney Company.

As for the origin of this nickname, we have to start with World War II.

At that time, Lockheed moved its advanced research and development projects department to an unknown circus tent in Burbank, California.

Just because this place is adjacent to a stinky plastic factory, employees have to wear civilian gas masks to work. This is how the name of Skunk Works came about.

"Bradley, there is a telegram from Washington, saying that they have suspended negotiations with Moscow. There is another country in the east that has more suitable titanium alloy materials."

In the Skunk Works, in the office, Trondheim opened the door and walked in.

When Bradley heard this, he immediately looked up and looked at the other party in surprise and asked, "What did you say? There is another country in the East that has titanium alloy materials? How come we don't know about it?"

"This is what Washington means. I heard that Dean Rusk just returned from Pakistan. I'm afraid he visited some country secretly."

Trondheim frowned and guessed:

"I think they are probably in contact with the East, but you know that country. How can they have qualified titanium alloy materials?"

"Don't make Moscow angry and raise the price again, or even refuse to sell it to us. I'm afraid our Blackbird project will be shelved by then."

Without qualified titanium alloy materials, the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft would not have been developed.

According to the original plan, they will conduct the first flight of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft at the beginning of this year.

The result is that negotiations with Moscow have been delayed again and again, and now they are continuing to be delayed.

If we do this, the test flight plan, which has been postponed to next year, may need to be postponed further.

You know, the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft project has been under development since the late 1950s.

In the mid-to-late 1950s, the North American military proposed a large-scale high-speed reconnaissance aircraft plan.

Then the plan ended up falling on the Skunk Works side.

Everyone knows that the mythical U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft is unparalleled because it can fly unscrupulously at an altitude of meters.

It's just that this aircraft was shot down by Moscow in 1960.

Finally, last year, in 2, U- came to high altitude near Lop Nur, and as expected, was killed.

Because of this, the myth has become a joke.

North America is increasingly in need of a new reconnaissance aircraft to replace the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft.

In this case, the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft developed by Skunk Works will inevitably have high hopes.

It stands to reason that such a top-notch experimental project should be given priority, but as a result, many materials have been delayed again and again, which is a waste!
"By the way, is there any new progress in our titanium alloy materials team?"

Trondheim sighed with emotion, and immediately brought the topic to titanium alloy material technology.

Bradley shook his head and said:
"If there is any progress, they will definitely come to me as soon as possible."

As a technical director, Bradley is usually very busy. Even if he is chatting with Trondheim now, he is not idle.

The Skunk Works is actually a laboratory with a high degree of autonomous management and is not completely controlled by Lockheed.

The reason is also very simple. They want to prevent ideas and creativity within the organization from being restricted and fixed due to bureaucracy.

It has been almost twenty years since its founding in World War II, and the Skunk Works has been doing a great job.

Before, their laboratory only had more than a dozen engineers, but now, it has more than ten laboratories.

The Titanium Alloy Materials Laboratory mentioned in Trondheim just now is just a branch laboratory under the Skunk Works Materials Laboratory.

However, because titanium alloy materials are very important to the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft.

If Skunk Works doesn't want to be slaughtered by Moscow, it can only break through on its own.

As for other labs in North America?

Maybe someone is quietly developing it, but it has definitely not been developed yet.

After all, North America is not going to do any big industrial research, not to mention that they only have a history of 187 years, so they have a damn foundation that is easy to figure out.

On the other side, in the central area of ​​Hong Kong Island, is the headquarters of China Resources Corporation.

Time flies, it is now the end of June, and it is time for China Resources to release new products. Comrade Tang Dake, who had made a lot of money, had rushed to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible. Even though their school was going to hold the final exam soon, he did not stay in school to read and study.

After all, studying or something is definitely not as good as coming to Hong Kong Island to do business.

You know, in early June, he made a huge profit of 50 million US dollars with the newly purchased 2,300 Huaxing digital SLRs and converters.

Including Pac-Man games and other equipment, Comrade Tang Dake earned more than 70 million US dollars.

In mid-June, some of the equipment was profited again. Although the profit was not that much, it still made him more than 30 million US dollars.

The reason why profits were reduced by more than half was not because in mid-June, China Resources actually took out 3,000 Huaxing digital SLRs even though its merchant ship was damaged.

Although the market at this time has not yet reached saturation, it is not the blank market it was before.

Therefore, the demand has naturally declined, and the price cannot always remain at a high price of 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars.

Just because everyone knows that China Resources will launch new products every month, and the monthly output of Huaxing digital SLR is 5,000 units.

Based on these circumstances, companies such as Cray Corporation and Texas Instruments cannot always sell at high prices.

It would be tragic if the predicament of the previous "Ping Pong" game arcade reappears.

Anyway, with the big enemy of Cray Company in front, no one dared to do this.

At this time, as a seventeen-year-old boy with a net worth of over 100 million U.S. dollars, Comrade Tang Dake was even more energetic and looked more confident.

"Comrade Tang Dake, it seems you have made a lot of money again."

At the entrance of China Resources Company, Felix saw Comrade Tang Dake and couldn't help but smile and joke.

"Ha, you don't need to say that?" Comrade Tang Dake rolled his eyes arrogantly. A car happened to park at the door, and it was Raymond who got out of the car.

Seeing this person, Comrade Tang Dake said directly:
"Unlike some people, I can't even do business and have lived so many years in vain."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into China Resources Company, paying no attention to Raymond, whose expression behind him became extremely strange.

The latter didn't expect that as soon as he got off the car, he would be ridiculed by Tang Dake, a bastard.

Even though this incident has passed, people will still laugh at it.

Especially every time I come to China Resources, it is always inevitable.

After Felix saw Raymond, he laughed and turned around and walked in.

The people who come to China Resources are all old acquaintances. They are not friends, but enemies.

After all, everyone wants to get more shares and make big money.

Especially at the end of the month, when new products are released, it is bound to be a time to make a lot of money.

The two previous products, the Pac-Man game console and Huaxing digital SLR, have already made everyone a lot of money.

What’s more, this time’s new product?

However, this time they will most likely be disappointed.

In the conference room, Liu Guanzhong immediately prioritized the previous sales of old products, recovered all the money, and then talked about new products.

Among the old products, the sales of Huayue calculator, Huaxin radio, "Ping Pong" game arcade and Huaxing digital SLR are all declining.

Not to mention the first three models, they have been on sale for a long time and are not far from market saturation.

Of course, if the price of the "Ping Pong" game arcade can be reduced a little, sales can still increase in reverse.

At present, apart from the Pac-Man game console, it still has no competitors of the same level and type, so there is no need to rush to lower the price.

Chen Guohua is waiting for competitors who imitate game arcade machines to enter the market, and it will not be too late to lower prices.

As for the Huaxing digital SLR product, there were 3,000 units in mid-June. That was because there were still a few days of production at the end of last month and they were sold together.

The current sales volume is 2,500 units, and the revenue is 22.5 million US dollars.

As for the Pac-Man game console, it has increased a lot, because its monthly output has stabilized at 500,000 units, but it is obvious that the demand is still huge.

Therefore, according to the results of discussions between Chen Guohua and Qiu Zongyue, starting from the beginning of June, the scale of Yao Ling San Factory will continue to expand and continue to recruit people.

The monthly production target of 700,000 units will be achieved in July.

By then, the number of workers in Yao Ling San Factory will exceed 20,000.

Even if the market demand is still hot after the monthly output reaches 700,000 units, then Chen Guohua will definitely continue to expand the scale.

After all, according to the history of the original time and space, the sales volume of the home version of the game console was very violent.

At its peak, 30 million units were sold in North America alone. You can imagine how crazy it was.

It is now the end of June, the monthly production is only 500,000 units, the shipment volume is 250,000, and the revenue is 425 million US dollars.

Counting other goods, this revenue should be around 460 million.

Of course, this new product will be a huge surprise, and it will also be the bulk of the revenue.

A long time passed. When Raymond, Srikvasant, Fraser and others all returned to the conference room, Liu Guanzhong officially started to release new products.

"Everyone, we need to verify the capital for the new product released this time, because this is a project with a large investment."

hiss!
After hearing Liu Guanzhong's words, everyone present took a deep breath.

Immediately, Comrade Tang Dake, who couldn't wait, was the first to ask:

"Mr. Liu, how much funding is needed? Is one hundred million US dollars enough?"

Why is it said to be one hundred million US dollars?

Because his current net worth is just over 100 million.

If he needs more money, he can only run back to his father to borrow money.

However, borrowing money from his father was even more difficult than going to heaven.

As everyone knows, his father, Fred, is a brave man who can only get in and out.

"Haha, Comrade Tang Dake, if you don't have any money, you're out. I guess what Mr. Liu means is that you need at least 500 million US dollars to qualify. You will definitely miss the chance."

When Raymond heard this, he couldn't help but ridiculed.

It's not that he doesn't have a lot of people, nor does he bully the small with his big one, it's just Comrade Tang Dake who is so annoying.

In addition, when he was at the entrance of the China Resources headquarters, he was severely laughed at by Comrade Tang Dake.

It would be unworthy of a gentleman not to avenge this!
Felix, Suarez, Gregory, Frazier and others all laughed.

But the four of them, Li Bingzhe, Saburo Yumon, Taro Jono and Ichiro Otsuchi, just smiled and did not dare to laugh loudly.

After all, the four of them are all in Peninsula or Tokyo, and these two places have one thing in common.

That is, their fathers are all from North America.

Therefore, as a shepherd dog, you must be sensible.

Otherwise, it would offend Comrade Tang Dake, who is not that easy to talk to.

Young people act erratically and have no scruples.

"Asshole, shit, you have no money. I already have over 100 million in assets when I was seventeen years old. When I get to your age, you will definitely be richer. What are you so proud of?"

Although Comrade Tang Dake was very angry, he still suppressed his anger and sneered at Lei Meng.

The latter wanted to continue to say something, but Liu Guanzhong, who was sitting in the main seat, had already snorted with a livid face, and all the foreigners suddenly fell silent.

"If you still want to do business with our China Resources Company, then please abide by the discipline in the conference room and not be like this again. Otherwise, I'm sorry, but I can only ask you to leave first."

After hearing Liu Guanzhong's words, everyone was shocked and quickly expressed their stance.

After the conference room became quiet again, Liu Guanzhong began to continue speaking.

"This product is very special. In order to protect everyone's income, there are requirements for everyone's funds."

"If your own capital is more than US$500 million, you will be eligible to participate in the lottery of this new product alone. If you do not meet the standards, you can cooperate separately."

hiss!
Raymond was stunned, is it really 500 million US dollars?
You know, in order to embarrass Comrade Tang Dake just now, he just made up a random figure of 500 million US dollars, but he didn't expect it to be so much?
When Comrade Tang Dake heard this, his expression turned extremely ugly. It was really 500 million US dollars!
Fake!

He currently only has over 100 million, what should he do?
According to Liu Guanzhong, he will either withdraw from this competition or cooperate with others.

Felix, Yumon Saburo and others were surprised, but also more curious, what is the new product Liu Guanzhong is going to release this time?

Before everyone could react, Liu Guanzhong had already ordered the staff to show off this new product.

"Everyone, there are two new products this time. One is this small object, it is called a pager, and the other is a signal transmitter, which is this Big Mac."

"Can you follow me out of the conference room and see the highest place in our office building? Where the antenna is located is where the signal transmitter is installed."

"OK, next I will explain to you the relationship between the two and how they make money."

The pager is a good thing, although it seems to be a very useless communication product. After all, it is just a mid-range receiver.

But it is undeniable that in today's era, pagers are still very powerful.

Through the operation center, you can send the information you want to send to the other party directly, and then the other party can receive the information.

As long as the base station is well constructed, information can be received in most areas.

This means that this is a monopoly-like business.

Because this is charged twice, once when the pager is sold, and the second time when the consumer uses the pager.

When more and more consumers use pagers, enough base stations must be built to be able to cope with various situations.

After all, the reason why some people want a pager is probably because their place of work or entertainment is relatively far away from a fixed phone.

For example, some people work on farms in the countryside, and the farms only have one or even no phone line.

So at this time, with the pager, no matter where the cowboy goes, he can quickly find each other.

Because at this time, you can directly call the communication operator's customer service and ask the customer service to send the information to the cowboy holding the pager.

The cowboy who receives the message can come back quickly.

Of course, this is just a similar usage scenario, and there are many different scenarios with different requirements.

But there is no doubt that with this pager, many people's communication lives will change dramatically.

Regarding the functions of pagers and signal transmitters, as well as the relationship between the two, Liu Guanzhong spent some time to explain clearly.

Moreover, he also demonstrated it himself.

The base station on Hong Kong Island has already been built, because it will take some time to complete.

And building base stations also requires technical personnel.

"Currently we are only opening one area, and that is Tokyo."

Liu Guanzhong said:
"The area of ​​this place is relatively small, but the population is very large. You can participate in the competition for this place, and then wait for about half a year to see the benefits."

"As for other places such as North America and Europe, the lottery will start in half a year."

hiss!
After hearing Liu Guanzhong's words, Raymond and the others suddenly had their faces lit up.

Good guy, Liu Guanzhong doesn't take these North American technology companies seriously.

You actually gave them half a year?
If they get the signal transmitter and pager now, they will be able to imitate them soon.

By then, won’t the business in North America and Europe become theirs?

However, it is impossible for Liu Guanzhong, a smart person, not to have thought of this, right?

Everyone couldn't help but think back to the past. At present, everyone is copying all the electronic products of China Resources Company. It seems that there is no such thing as the most successful one.

Fraser, the president of Texas Instruments, was secretly happy.

Just because their company finally copied the game arcade machine at the end of May, and the factory is currently busy producing it.

In this case, Texas Instruments must win this pager business.

Or to participate, only in this way can they carry out technology imitation faster.

Felix, Raymond, Srikvasant, Fraser and others all have their own agendas.

But even if they know that China Resources' electronic products are not easy to copy, it does not prevent them from squeezing into this business.

Yumon Saburo and the others were all overjoyed. Since they settled in their own territory, their chances of winning were very high.

"You can set up a communications operator here in Tokyo to operate and charge fees, but you need to be responsible for investing in and building base stations."

"Each signal transmitter costs US$75,000, which is not very expensive."

"According to our calculations, if we want to cover the entire four islands in Tokyo, we will need to build at least 6,800 base stations."

"Only when more than 6,800 base stations have been built, pagers can be sold."

"So, basically, this is a huge investment cooperation, it depends on whether you are willing to participate."

Liu Guanzhong spoke again, smiling and confident, but not at all worried that they would not participate.

After all, it is related to communication services. Liu Guanzhong did not say how to charge specifically, because it is a problem that they need to solve themselves.

The main reason why Chen Guohua did this was that he wanted to get the money back at once and was too lazy to wait.

What if China Resources went to build base stations in North America, Tokyo, Europe and other places, and then slowly collected service fees?

This is completely idiotic behavior.

Just because the current situation is very complicated, if one day North America directly cuts off trade.

Or just raise the sickle and want to harvest China Resources. Then even if China Resources wants to resist, there will be no way at all.

Therefore, this method of finding agents is the best choice.

After learning that the price of each signal transmitter reached 75,000 US dollars, and that at least 6,800 base stations needed to be built, Raymond and all the capitalists could not help but calm down.

Everyone took out their calculators and started doing simple calculations.

Soon, everyone knew a figure. The investment in base stations in Tokyo was US$510 million.

This is without counting the investment in customer service and operator stores in various places.

After all, communication operators can’t rely on others to call and send messages to their friends, right?
Some people prefer to go directly to the operator's store to send messages. In this case, they can also save some phone bills.

"Mr. Liu, how much does a pager cost?"

Taro Jono couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Liu Guanzhong patted his head apologetically, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you that the wholesale price of each pager is sixty-nine US dollars and the retail price is seventy-nine US dollars."

"This price is the most reasonable price, because only in this way can more consumers buy it. You can no longer increase prices randomly like the Huaxing digital SLR before."

After giving a slight warning, Liu Guanzhong said nothing more.

But Raymond and the others couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Because according to Liu Guanzhong's quotation, the profit of pagers is very, very small, at least far from the profit of signal transmitters.

You know, the wholesale price is only sixty-nine dollars, which is only twenty dollars more expensive than the Huaxin radio.

This shows that China Resources has a very good market prospect for pagers. It also shows that technology imitation will be very difficult.

How to do?
PS: Please vote for me at the end of the month, and thank you all on my knees! (End of chapter)
