The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

In July 1963, in the summer of the northern hemisphere, in North America, a continent full of vitality, a company called Donald Duck Technology Company was established.

Perhaps it is unknown now, and may not even be famous in the future.

But who knows?
When this company was first established, it gathered two technical engineers in the semiconductor industry: Horney and Gerast.

Both of them are technical employees who have resigned from Fairchild Semiconductor Company. Among them, Gerast is also one of the Eight Rebels of Fairchild.

As for why one of the eight rebels at Fairchild Semiconductor, Gerast, resigned from Fairchild?
The reason is actually very simple: the spoils are unevenly distributed!

This has been foreshadowed since the company was founded.

Fairchild Semiconductor, the company originally established by the Eight Rebellions, actually took back most of Fairchild Semiconductor's shares from the president of its parent company, Fairchild Group.

Secondly, external competition causes the stock price to fall!

For example, in the previous lithography machine incident, Noyce, Gordon Moore and others originally developed a proximity lithography machine after "ten years of hard work".

At the beginning, everyone thought that they could become the leader in the industry with such lithography machine technology.

It's a pity that they met China Resources Corporation.

Therefore, the lithography machine product has barely recovered its cost, and has achieved a slight profit by relying on "deception".

But for the proud Noyce, Gordon Moore, Gerast and others, this is completely unacceptable.

Not to mention, in the process, the president of their parent company diverted Fairchild Semiconductor's profits away.

This directly made the Eight Rebels very dissatisfied, which in turn caused Gerast to urgently want to leave his job: to start his own business!
But if you start your own business, you will definitely run out of funds. But if you start a business with others, how can you ensure that your own interests are not damaged?
The appearance of Comrade Tang Dake gave Gerast hope.

Although Comrade Tang Dake is an "eighteen-year-old" young man, he has easily made over 100 million US dollars with his extraordinary courage and vision.

This alone is enough to make Jerast defeated.

Ever since, Donald Duck Technology Company was established.

Even when Donald Duck Technology Company was established, far away in Moscow, Ulyanov from the Ministry of Industry had yet to receive a reply from North America.

So he found Andrei Gromyko, who was in charge of intelligence work, and informed him of the matter.

"Andre, the North American side promised us that they would respond before July whether we need to order titanium alloy materials. But now it is mid-July, and they have no information at all."

"According to Comrade Secretary's instructions, we cannot take the initiative to contact the North American side. Andre, please help us investigate. What happened in the North American side?"

Andrei Gromyko nodded quickly and said he would investigate.

But this matter was originally very hidden, and only a few high-level officials such as Lyndon Johnson, Dean Rusk, and Douglas Dillon knew about it.

Therefore, it will take time for Andre to find out clearly.

Moscow does not yet know that the mainland has begun planning to cut off the titanium alloy material business, and they are still investigating intelligence.

Beijing, Cuihua Hutong.

Chen Xiaoyue, who just took the college entrance examination, has completely relaxed recently, running out nonstop and having fun all day long.

Many of her classmates asked her to go out to play, such as participating in some tree planting activities organized by the capital city, or traveling around the mountains and rivers.

Just because she has a camera and can take pictures at any time.

As for the money for the film, it was purchased by other students in partnership.

Anyway, there are thirty negatives in a box of film. As long as they are not exposed, you can take thirty photos.

It's summer in July, and film is most afraid of strong light, high temperatures, etc., because in this case, the film can easily be exposed or deformed.

Once this happens, the box of film will be useless.

Chen Guohua knew that his sister played everywhere and took many photos, which were developed and displayed in her own room.

He was very supportive of this matter.

He even hoped that his sister could take advantage of this time to go out more often, preferably to the Magic City and other places.

As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. As the eldest brother, he is rich and is not afraid of not being able to provide for his younger sister to go out for fun.

"Brother, do you support me going to Magic City? I have never been to Magic City."

During dinner in the evening, the family talked about this matter, and Chen Guohua talked about the Magic City.

"I definitely support it. If I have time, I would also like to visit the Magic City instead of learning about this city from books, photos, newspapers, etc."

Chen Guohua nodded and said with a smile.

In fact, even if he had time, he would not go to the Magic City now.

Because the traffic in the mainland is so bad now, he has already planned to develop a civilian passenger aircraft after the two major projects of engine and bomber are completed.

If there are civilian passenger planes, it will be relatively convenient to travel by then.

Previously, we also ordered six Vickers Viscount aircraft from Great Britain's Vickers Airways, and in January this year we sent personnel to London to study.

Regarding this point, Chen Guohua felt that it was completely unnecessary.

The mainland can develop and manufacture civilian passenger aircraft on its own. There is no need to buy other people's aircraft.

That is to say, Chen Guohua couldn't spare the time, otherwise, this matter would have been solved long ago.

"Then brother, if I go to the Magic City with my classmates, will you support me?"

When Chen Xiaoyue heard this, she immediately asked cautiously.

On the side, the two sisters Chen Xiaomei and Chen Xiaomin looked at him eagerly. They also wanted to go.

Magic City, it is a place of fireworks in Shili Foreign Market. I heard it is very prosperous.

Although it is no longer the Republic of China, those buildings are still there.

Of course, for Chen Xiaomin and others, they just wanted to go out and have a look, and didn't know much about the Republic of China and the Republic of China.

In fact, the magic city of the Republic of China in the 1930s and 1940s was indeed a magic city, not a city.

Because beneath its prosperous appearance is a dirty and dark side.

In his previous life, Chen Guohua had heard that there were people who wanted to dream back to the magic city of the Republic of China.

Maybe they think that if they return to that era, they can become a master, a capitalist eldest lady or a noble son who sings "Night Shanghai with lights up, music loud, singing and dancing" all day long.

But in fact, is this really the case?

Even for the young masters or young ladies from the four major families, it is impossible for them to lead their marriages.

You may even encounter kidnapping and killing by other warlords and gangs.

And if you travel back to the magic city of that era and become an ordinary person, your life will be even worse. Whether you can eat enough is a big problem.

As for getting ahead?

Stop talking nonsense, foreign capital, shepherd dogs, the four major families, warlords, gangs, etc., all kinds of forces are intertwined and mixed. Ordinary people want to get ahead?

How funny!
"Do you really want to go to the Magic City?"

When Chen Guohua heard this, he asked with a smile.

The second child nodded immediately and looked at her elder brother expectantly.

"Okay, if you want to go, then go and have a look. You talk to your classmates and see how many people want to go there. I will help you buy train tickets then."

Chen Guohua didn't take this trivial matter seriously and simply agreed.

His sister Chen Xiaoyue applied to a university in Shanghai. Although Chen Guohua felt that there was a high probability that she would not be admitted, he still needed to support her.

Perhaps if she doesn't go to the Magic City now, she's afraid that she won't have a chance in the next ten years or so.

Because if Chen Xiaoyue fails to enter college, she will have to stay in the capital. Chen Guohua will definitely arrange for her to take the accounting qualification certificate and let her work in a military industry enterprise.

If she can get into college, then Chen Guohua will also support her.

Although she is in school now, she will definitely not be able to wait until she graduates from college, and she may be arranged to go to the countryside.

But this is most likely impossible, because Chen Guohua asked her to choose science instead of liberal arts.

As we all know, since the establishment of Zhenhua Research Institute on January 21, 1960, it has been recruiting college students.

Especially college students majoring in science and engineering are in a very, very tight situation!

Now, the first phase of the Majuqiao Industrial Park project, which has taken a year, is almost completed, and the second phase is about to begin.

Because it's not enough anymore.

Products such as calculators, radios, game arcades, Pac-Man game consoles, Huaxing digital SLRs, pagers, etc. Each product requires a lot of workers.

For example, the Yao Zero 3 factory that produces Pac-Man game consoles has more than 20,000 workers in the factory.

Just because of its one factory, it needs to produce 500,000 qualified home version game consoles and 500,000 boxes of qualified Pac-Man game cartridges every month.

These are all labor-intensive industries and of course require many workers.

Then there is the Yao Linglu factory, although this factory only needs to produce 5,000 Huaxing digital SLR cameras and 200 auxiliary video analog-to-digital converters every month.

The number may seem small, but it involves a lot of professional knowledge at the optical level, and the requirements for skilled workers are very high.

And because its structure is relatively complex, the number of workers it requires is also very large.

So it almost takes three workers to produce a digital camera.

This means that it needs 15,000 workers, and it also has 10,000 intern reserve workers.

Just because prices may plummet at any time, production capacity needs to be exceeded at any time.

Therefore, at this time, the number of workers in Majuqiao Industrial Park alone has exceeded 100,000.

Although the construction of the Majuqiao Industrial Park only started in July last year, there were already Yao Ling Ling and Yao Ling Yao factories before the construction.

But its construction speed is still faster than that of Moscow's Semiconductor City, and the number of workers is growing faster.

From here we can also see how much influence civilian products have on the development of the manufacturing industry.

Because it needs to increase production capacity at any time to cope with huge market demand.

As for military industrial enterprises, there is no such possibility.

After all, military industrial enterprises all implement fixed mission indicators and are unlikely to suddenly increase production.

But now the scale of military industrial enterprises such as Factory 985, Factory 107, and Factory 5341 has expanded a lot since the s.

Simply because these military enterprises not only need to undertake the upstream and downstream manufacturing of semiconductors, but also the manufacturing of computers, the production of other key technologies, and technical training.

For example, at the end of last year, in November, several customers came from the Middle East. They needed to purchase photolithography machines, 100-micron transistors and other products.

As for the use of photolithography machines and the manufacturing technology of 100-micron transistors, they need time to learn.

The technicians sent by Barzani and his colleagues were almost all blank sheets of paper, and they did not understand Chinese.

Just teaching them how to use the photolithography machine is a very difficult problem.

As a result, these military industrial enterprises expanded their scale and also transferred many high school students and college students.

Even some junior high school students were transferred to military industrial enterprises.

Based on this, many people can discover a phenomenon: that is, the homeless people in the capital are almost invisible.

why?
Middle school and high school students with good grades were recruited to places such as Majuqiao Industrial Park, while teenagers with poor grades were thrown into the countryside.

Of course, there are also some who have family connections and are sent to factories, ministries and other units.

In short, groups like homeless people can no longer be seen in the capital.

As for other cities such as Jincheng, Magic City, and Baiyun City, relatively speaking, there are still some unemployed people, but not many.

As we all know, China Resources produces so many industrial products and sends them abroad for sale.

In this process, in addition to the Majuqiao Industrial Park, the most upstream acquisition and transportation of raw materials, as well as the transportation of produced electronic products, plus the transportation of grain, crude oil, iron ore and other materials from abroad, these They all require a lot of workers to support them.

In short, today in 1963 is completely different from the history of the original time and space.

Therefore, once it is time for the Siberian cold wind to pass through, Chen Guohua will definitely make arrangements in advance to transfer Chen Xiaoyue from the city of Magic City.

For example, he has already planned the large-scale civil aviation project in advance, as well as other projects.

Chen Guohua even dares to compete with Moscow for large orders such as titanium alloy materials. So is there great potential for exporting civil aviation passenger aircraft abroad?

"Really?"

Seeing her elder brother smiling and nodding, Chen Xiaoyue immediately jumped up on the spot, so happy that she didn't know why.

The two sisters, Chen Xiaomei and Chen Xiaomin, immediately hugged their eldest brother's arms and coquettishly expressed that they wanted to go too.

At this time, Yu Moli suddenly said:

"Guohua, how about I take them with me?"

Chen Lihua on the side also joined in the fun because she wanted to go too.

Even Chen Yuanchao was eager to give it a try and wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to speak.

In response, Chen Guohua nuzzled at the two children, Chen Wei and Chen Si, and said:

"If you all go out to play, who will take care of the two brothers and sisters?"

It would definitely be unrealistic to take the two brothers and sisters with them.

Because Chen Wei has just turned three years old, and Chen Si has just turned two and less than three months old.

He is still too young, and it will definitely be very troublesome if he goes out at this time.

Anyway, Chen Guohua was worried about letting the two brothers follow him out.

When Yu Moli heard this, he immediately fainted.

Lao Chen, Yun Wanshang and Hu Pinggu didn't speak, they just looked at this scene with smiles.

After dinner, the matter had not been settled yet.

However, Chen Xiaoyue was very happy. After all, she was definitely going to visit the Magic City, and it didn't matter who came.

Suddenly, Chen Guohua did not send Yu Moli to school because she no longer needed to go to school and it was her summer vacation.

Similarly, Chen Guohua did not go to Zhenhua Research Institute, but went directly to the Yamen office on Di'anmen Street.

Because today he is coming over to attend a small award ceremony.

However, what he didn't expect was that before the award ceremony started, he actually attended a meeting.

Zhou Deqing from the Ministry of Light Industry, Zhou Zutong and Xiong Yukun from the Ministry of Industry, Lu Shijia and Lu Jinxiong from the First Machinery Industry Department all attended the meeting.

Not many leaders came, no more than ten.

Youdao means big things are small and small things are big.

At such a small meeting, all the attendees were leaders, but on the contrary, Chen Guohua was the only one who was engaged in scientific research.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Guohua was somewhat puzzled.

You know, he has been away from the Ministry of Industry for a long time.

Or to be precise, he has been away from the BAIC manufacturing plant for several years. The leaders of the Ministry of Industry are going to have a meeting, so why call him over?

As a result, not long after the meeting started, Zhou Deqing from the Ministry of Light Industry asked Chen Guohua if it was possible to win more big orders from Moscow?

"Dear leaders, let's talk about whether we can really grab this big order of titanium alloy materials."

When Chen Guohua heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes in his heart.

Are you kidding me?
You haven't even concluded the cooperation with Lyndon Johnson on titanium alloy materials yet, so you're thinking about other big orders?

No wonder the leaders asked him to attend this meeting. Not to mention, without him, this meeting would not be possible.

"As for the titanium alloy material, isn't it already certain? Could there be any surprises?"

When Zhou Zutong heard this, his heart suddenly became tense and he asked hurriedly.

Xiong Yukun, Zhou Deqing, Lu Shijia and others also looked at Chen Guohua nervously: Could there be some trouble?
"Leader, I don't know what kind of accident will happen." Chen Guohua spread his hands and said helplessly:

"The non-ferrous metal processing plant in Shen City will definitely be able to complete the production tasks. North America's demand for titanium alloy materials can also be provided by our Zhenhua Research Institute."

"Every leader also knows that our Zhenhua Research Institute has already developed different alloy materials such as Yaoyao-9 titanium alloy material."

Different titanium alloy materials can be used in different fields. For example, in the fields of fans and blades of aerospace engines, casings of artificial satellites, rocket engines, pressure hulls of submarines, propellers, etc., these different fields have different requirements for titanium alloys.

In the history of the original time and space, Moscow's Avisma Magnesium and Titanium Company monopolized 50% of the global titanium alloy market.

At that time, North America itself was producing titanium materials, but it could not meet the demand.

In fact, North America imports 50% of its titanium from overseas every year.

For example, Boeing has about 40% of its titanium parts, and European Airbus has 60% of its titanium parts, all of which are imported from Avisma Magnesium and Titanium Company in Moscow.

In the history of the original time and space, the reason why something like this happened in Ukraine was because this country was one of only seven countries in the world that produced titanium sponge.

And Ukraine’s potential titanium ore reserves are even higher than those in Moscow.

In addition to this, Ukraine is considered Europe's largest supplier of recoverable rare earth resources, and Ukraine also has Europe's second largest natural gas reserves.

Therefore, if you don’t do it, who will?
In fact, North America is clearly ahead of Moscow in the technological development of titanium alloy materials.

As early as 6, North America had successfully developed Ti-4Al-V alloy.

Prior to this point in time, North American titanium production was only two tons.

But by 1955, it surged to 20,000 tons.

It was only after the 1970s that Moscow gradually caught up with North America in terms of titanium smelting and welding processes.

As we all know, titanium is a rare metal that is light but strong, but in fact titanium reserves are still relatively high.

Its abundance in the earth's crust is 9%, ranking th among all elements.

In the titanium industry, titanium sponge and titanium materials are two important processes.

Titanium sponge is the basic link in the titanium industry. Simply understood, it is titanium raw material extracted from minerals.

Because of its porous appearance, it is called "sponge titanium".

However, titanium sponge cannot be used directly, so it needs to be further processed into titanium material, that is, titanium processed material.

But as everyone knows, titanium smelting and processing technology is the most complex and difficult link.

Moscow has a relatively complete production chain, so North America will try every means to import titanium alloy materials from Moscow.

In the history of the original time and space, North America established a number of shell companies engaged in mineral trading overseas. It purchased titanium metal materials through these companies, and at the same time mixed the purchases with other materials and increased the time span to avoid the Moscow intelligence department. focus on.

But Chen Guohua was different. He told Dean Rusk directly and openly: We have a lot of titanium metal materials in the mainland. Do you want it?
This is no different from normal trade transactions in later generations.

"But leaders, we are indeed aboveboard, but America may not be happy to be slaughtered by us. Maybe they will cause some trouble."

Having said this, Chen Guohua had to become serious and reminded:
"We are very happy to have friends come from far away, and we are willing to treat these guests who come from afar with courtesy, but what if the other party has some crooked ideas in mind?"

You know, China Resources has completed foreign exchange revenue of US$4.5 billion in the first half of this year, which is too eye-catching.

This year, IBM's current revenue is only US$360 million, thanks to the third-generation integrated circuit computer S/ system that supplied the Apollo moon landing program.

And the revenue data brought by Walls Semiconductor as a second-tier dealer.

Otherwise, whether it can exceed US$500 million is a big question.

Although at the end of 1961, an atomic bomb had been detonated in Lop Nur, and it was even detonated twice afterwards.

The mushroom eggs get bigger and more dazzling every time.

However, if Lyndon Johnson and others were more greedy in their hearts and did not want to pay more US dollars to buy titanium alloy materials, wouldn't it be a waste of money?

Lyndon Johnson and others are not fools either.

Although I really want to become good friends with Dongfang, there is a saying that I am afraid of brothers suffering and afraid of brothers driving Land Rover.

Human nature is so complicated, let alone countries?

Before the Fifth Academy takes out missiles, we can only be regarded as a three-year-old child holding gold, posing little threat to others.

Of course, everything should not be so absolute, and America's biggest enemy at this time should be Moscow.

"So, we should not create extraneous matters before the matter is completely settled."

After listening to Chen Guohua's analysis, Zhou Zutong, Xiong Yukun and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"We all understand the truth. You don't need to worry about these strategic matters."

Zhou Deqing chuckled and said:

"You, you'd better do a good job in scientific research and develop fighter jets and bombers as soon as possible. By then we will no longer be three-year-old children holding gold."

"What we are talking about with you now is actually to discuss the subsequent development with you. After all, our titanium material started very late and we all rely on the technology you provide."

In fact, it's just that I'm short of money and want to make more money. It's that simple.

China Resources has made a lot of money, but there is not enough money to share.

Otherwise, the leaders attending the meeting today would definitely not be the leaders of the Ministry of Industry.

Hearing this, Chen Guohua pondered for a moment and said:
"Actually, if you want to develop our industry, the best way at present is definitely not to export metal materials, rare earth ores, etc., but to develop according to the rules of Tian Ji's horse racing."

But before he finished speaking, Zhou Zutong interrupted:

"Comrade Guohua, what are the rare earth materials you just mentioned? Why haven't I heard of rare earths?"

As the leader of the Ministry of Industry, Zhou Zutong is still very familiar with many mineral resources.

When he was first transferred to the Ministry of Industry, it was still very painful. After all, someone who he didn't even understand the periodic table of elements was supposed to be in charge of the Ministry of Industry?

This is not a joke!
"Rare earth materials are the general name for a total of seventeen metal elements including lanthanides, scandium and yttrium in the periodic table of elements."

Chen Guohua had no choice but to educate himself on rare earth materials.

As early as 1794, Finnish chemist Gadolin isolated the first rare earth element, yttrium earth, from a heavy asphalt-shaped ore.

Because there were few rare earth minerals discovered in the 18th century, only a small amount of water-insoluble oxides could be produced by chemical methods. Therefore, historically, this oxide was traditionally called "earth", hence the name rare earth.

As early as the 1950s, the mainland had organized the Bayan Obo survey team of the Institute of Geology to conduct large-scale geological survey and research on Bayan Obo.

It's just that at this time, everyone only knew that rare earth resources were considered valuable mineral resources. However, the mainland is a large agricultural country and does not have the technology and equipment to mine these rare earth minerals.

In the history of the original time and space, it was not until the 1960s that we began to build rare earth production lines.

It was at this time that rare earths moved from the laboratory to industrialization.

It stands to reason that Zhou Zutong and the others are leaders of the Ministry of Industry, so they should have heard of rare earths.

But in fact, leaders like them are definitely good hands if they lead troops to fight.

But if it is about professional matters like mining, they will have a big headache.

Being able to memorize the periodic table of elements is already very good.

After a brief science popularization, Chen Guohua pondered for a moment and then said:

"In fact, our country is very rich in rare earth mineral resources. If we use them properly and develop them, they can definitely bring us very rich returns."

In the 1990s of the original time and space, we already knew that China's rare earth resources accounted for 80% of the world's known reserves, and its status was comparable to that of oil in the Middle East.

It is a natural mineral resource of very important strategic significance.

Zhou Zutong's eyes suddenly brightened, but Chen Guohua changed his words and said:
"However, I suggest that we still develop metal materials such as synthetic californium and titanium materials, because these are more high value-added materials."

The refining and purification technology of metal materials such as titanium and californium are of strategic significance.

Let’s not talk about californium. In the 252s in the original history of time and space, californium- isotope was sold in North America at a price of ten US dollars per microgram.

If the mainland can develop precious metals like californium, it will definitely make a lot of money.

The same is true for titanium alloy materials. Exporting more than ten or twenty tons of such titanium materials every year can make a stable income of hundreds of millions of dollars. How cool would that be.

When Zhou Zutong and others heard this, they immediately looked at each other.

After all, it’s still such a sophisticated technology, so what’s going on?
Chen Guohua saw their expressions, rolled his eyes, and quickly understood.

Dang even turned the topic to manufacturing.

"Actually, if we want to make a lot of money, we need to export a large amount of light industry, heavy industry and other products."

For example, if we use our cheap labor force to produce clothes, shoes, hats, general hardware materials, automobiles and other products, and export them abroad, there will definitely be a huge market.

But for now, it depends on the follow-up.

Lyndon Johnson didn't come to the capital, so we couldn't talk about these things properly.

When it comes to these matters, Chen Guohua can't continue talking.

The meeting is almost over here.

After leaving the conference room, Chen Guohua went to attend the award ceremony.

Half an hour later, Chen Guohua, who had returned home with a full load, left Di'anmen Street with merit medals and prizes.

Time flies and it’s already August in a blink of an eye.

The two sisters Chen Xiaomei and Chen Xiaomin, as well as Chen Yuanchao, followed Chen Xiaoyue to the Magic City.

However, it was not Chen Xiaoyue who took them there, but Yun Wanshang and Chen Gonglu.

Even Yu Moli went with him, as did the brothers Chen Wei and Chen Si, and their grandmother.

With so many people out, it’s almost like a family trip.

I was out for more than half a month.

For more than half a month, they just visited the two cities of Magic City and Jinling.

Because the train from Beijing to Magic City must transfer at Jinling.

At this time, there was no Yangtze River Bridge in Jinling, so all southbound trains had to transfer via ferry after arriving in Jinling.

As for Jinling, Chen Gonglu and Yun Wanshang should not be too familiar with it.

So they stayed outside for more than half a month before returning to the capital.

After returning, Chen Xiaoyue also knew one thing: she had not received the admission notice.

In this era, college entrance examination scores were obtained directly from newspapers, with appendices quoted in new publications, so that candidates could check them.

Of course, schools will also announce this on their school bulletin boards.

Therefore, Chen Guohua had known for a long time that Chen Xiaoyue failed the exam and was not admitted to university.

But she was unwilling to do so and went to the bulletin board at No. 65 Middle School.

After she was confirmed, she was depressed for two days, and her eyes were red from crying.

Two days later, Chen Guohua came to her room, comforted her and asked her to take the accounting qualification certificate exam.

Don’t even think about going to college!

Some things cannot be achieved by hard work.

Accepting the reality, Chen Xiaoyue had to pick up books again, study accounting knowledge with all her strength, and strive to pass the accounting certificate exam and become a qualified accountant in the future.

Seeing her regaining her composure, Chen Guohua breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhenhua Research Institute, in the director's office.

Qiu Zongyue brought bad news: the appearance of the "Baseball" game arcade in the North American market caused China Resources' sales of the "Ping Pong" game arcade to decline in August.

"Our Pac-Man console sales haven't been affected, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Guohua expressed that he understood.

But he is more concerned about the market for home game consoles.

Because the home version of the game console is the king, Chen Guohua thinks that selling 500 to 10 million home version of the game console a year should not be a big problem.

Therefore, we must always keep an eye on changes in the sales of Pac-Man game consoles.

"No!" Qiu Zongyue shook his head and continued:

"Not only did the sales of Pac-Man consoles not decrease, but they increased slightly. We need to continue to expand production in September."

"That's good!" Chen Guohua nodded and said:
"In this case, let's increase the production to 750,000 units first, and then it depends on the situation."

Now, Chen Guohua is much more cautious.

You know, in July, the output of Yao Ling San factory had reached 700,000 units, making it the traffic king.

Including the combination of each Pac-Man game console and cartridge, the wholesale price is US$1,458. With 700,000 units of this game package sold every month, the revenue is not low.

Therefore, it is the truth to prioritize keeping the Pac-Man console.

"I understand, but how do we deal with it at the arcade?"

After hearing Qiu Zongyue's words, Chen Guohua pondered for a moment and said:
“Lower the price!”

The price is quite low-end, but compared to developing more games, Chen Guohua feels that a price war is better.

why?
Chen Guohua does have a lot of game ideas, but this also means that more technology is needed behind the products here.

What's more, today's game arcades are too expensive!
The wholesale price of a "Ping Pong" game arcade machine is US$3,499, and the retail price is US$3,999.

too expensive!
Now that the early profits have been earned, now is the time to increase production capacity.

Especially in the price war, it will definitely be higher than Texas Instruments' seven-inch.

No company can crush China Resources in terms of cost.

Hearing this, Qiu Zongyue nodded: "Does that mean that the production capacity of Yao Ling 2 Factory will also be increased? Will we continue to recruit people?"

Chen Guohua smiled and said:

"That's for sure. This time, we will directly follow what we said before and lower it directly below the other party's cost price. We will lose the other party to death."

"In this case, production will definitely increase."

"Besides, didn't the second phase of Majuqiao Industrial Park start construction in July? Isn't it easy to recruit people?"

There are definitely not that many high school students here in the capital, but looking across the country, there are still enough middle school and high school students.

If you select carefully, you will definitely be able to select enough talents.

However, Chen Guohua thought for a while and still said:
"Leader, the Majuqiao Industrial Park has gradually developed. If there is an opportunity in the future, we should also develop the south."

All the talents are crowded in the north, or the northeast.

This is definitely not possible!
You know, in the 1950s, some universities and industrial construction layouts were moved to the west.

Now, you can move to the south appropriately.

Because it is obvious that with the explosion of the atomic bomb, the Fifth Academy and Zhenhua Research Institute will soon be able to come up with missiles and bombers.

Then external threats are not so serious.

As long as there is not much difference in high-end combat power, there won't be any big problem.

As for the development of industry in the south, in addition to the uneven development between the north and the south, there are also transportation costs to consider.

After all, electronic products at Majuqiao are now sent from Beijing Railway Station to Baiyun City in the south, and then transported via Pearl River Shipping.

Or you can go out to the sea from the port terminal in Jincheng and go south directly to Hong Kong Island.

But what if the factory is built in Baiyun City?
