The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 102 Done
To be honest, even if a color TV costs 600 or 700 yuan, it is still not easy for most ordinary people to afford it.

After all, the average annual income per capita in rural areas is only about 100 yuan.

For a family of six or seven people, an annual income of five or six hundred is already pretty good.

Residents in the city are slightly better off, with the average wage income being around 300 yuan.

However, the people of Longguo have a strong sense of crisis. Even though their income is relatively low, their savings rate is still quite high.

If a family lives frugally and saves for two or three years, they can buy a big item. Gradually, the four major items can be purchased.

In addition, reform and opening up are imminent.

After the reform and opening up, people's income growth rate has indeed accelerated, and their consumption capacity will inevitably increase in the future.

Wang Haoran still admires Ni Haifeng's courage.

"Okay then. I'll sell you two color TV production lines."

"However, after the agreement is signed, we require half of the payment to be paid in advance."

"When the production line is delivered, we have to deliver the other half. Is that acceptable?"

Wang Haoran looked at Ni Haifeng with a smile, waiting for his answer.

Ni Haifeng was quite generous: "No problem!"

"But I demand that the production line must be delivered in the first half of 1978! And by October next year, we must be able to start mass production!"

Ni Haifeng was very happy. He had prepared a large sum of money to purchase the Japanese's production line.

As a result, now, domestic production lines can be purchased for a fraction of the money!

This time I saved a lot of money!
The most important thing is: this domestic color TV production line has been reported on the most important news programs of the national television station. I have also inspected it on site and it is indeed very advanced.

Ni Haifeng now wants to get the production line as soon as possible and start producing color TVs!
With the current market conditions, it is a seller's market for televisions, and there is no difficulty in selling them once they are produced.

Wang Haoran nodded: "No problem!"

Just like that, Liu Xianchao represented Ni Haifeng and signed the color TV production line purchase agreement.

In the next two or three days, Ni Haifeng also went through the bank to complete the payment procedures.

Now, there is an extra 200 million in the corporate account of Beijing Institute of Technology.

After seeing Ni Haifeng off, Liu Xianchao felt that it was a little unreal.

Because the school's funding was originally allocated by the state, even a famous school like Beijing Institute of Technology did not have much money a year, at most a few hundred or tens of millions.

Now it’s good, the school can make money.

Moreover, you can make millions at a time.

"Comrade Haoran, is it certain that your project can be completed in the first half of next year?" Liu Xianchao asked.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Principal, don't worry! We are making rapid progress now."

"I have a feeling that the entire production line will be successfully developed in about a month."

"When the time comes, we can hand over the work of processing and producing the production line to the Beijing Machine Tool Factory, and we will pay them the processing fee and material fee."

Liu Xianchao asked: "What do you think is the specific production cost of a color TV production line?"

"We won't lose money, will we?"

Wang Haoran laughed and said, "How could it be possible to lose money?"

"I estimated that, in fact, it would cost no more than 60 yuan to commission the Beijing Lathe Factory to produce a color TV production line."

"With two sets of color TV production lines, we can make about 2.6 to 2.7 million yuan."

"Principal Liu, I have another idea now. Do you agree?"

Liu Xianchao smiled brightly: "That's good, that's good! Haoran, what do you think? Just tell me directly."

Wang Haoran said: "In fact, our school-run factory can also set up a color TV production line and start producing color TVs."

"As long as the price is reasonable, color TV production will be an absolute seller's market from the beginning, and there will be no worries about sales."

In fact, in this era, all factories do not have to worry about sales of their products.

Because no matter how much you produce, the state will purchase it for you, and then sell it across the country through the supply and marketing cooperatives.

For this reason, current state-owned enterprises do not have marketing departments.

You just need to connect with the supply and marketing cooperative.

However, in the 80s, the situation was different. After the unified purchase and marketing was liberalized in 85, in order to find sales channels, even state-owned enterprises had to send a large number of salesmen to search for markets all over the country.

Liu Xianchao hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think the country will approve this."

"After all, we have a TV factory in Beijing."

“Generally speaking, the country will not duplicate construction.”

Wang Haoran thought so too: At this time, the country has not yet relaxed the policy on universities and research institutes to run businesses.

It was not until the mid-80s that it became common for universities and research institutes to run businesses.

Most companies such as Moxiang and Peking University Founder were founded at this time.

You must never get too ahead of yourself.

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "The principal is right."

"I didn't think it through."

In the planned economy era, the state would issue production targets for a certain amount of a certain product each year.

Therefore, in this case, the state will strictly control the competition among similar enterprises.

Because the country must ensure that every enterprise can survive!

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is December 1977, 12.

The college entrance examination in the Beijing area will be held on December 12th, 10th and 11th.

The college entrance examination is the next day.

Wang Haoran and Xiao Lijuan have already received their admission tickets.

They all applied for science subjects.

The exam arrangement is as follows:
On December 12th, there will be a political science exam in the morning and a physics and chemistry exam in the afternoon.

On December 12th, there will be a math test in the morning and a Chinese test in the afternoon.

The English test on December 12 is optional and only those applying for foreign language majors will take the test.

After Wang Haoran and Xiao Lijuan got their admission tickets, they discovered that they were not in the same test site.

"Oh! This is so strange! We clearly registered for the exam together, so why are we not assigned to the same testing center?" Xiao Lijuan was a little puzzled.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "There's nothing strange about this. The examination rooms are randomly assigned!"

"Lijuan, you seem a little nervous?"

Xiao Lijuan nodded: "It's true that I'm a little nervous."

"I'm not as brave as you. I'm taking the college entrance exam soon, and I haven't even done any exercises."

"Haoran, my mom asked us to come to her house for dinner during the college entrance examination, and she took a special leave to take care of us."

Wang Haoran said: "I still have to thank my mother."

At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the two rode their bikes to the residence of Xiao Renming and his wife.

After Wang Haoran’s birthday on November 11, he and Xiao Lijuan went to get their marriage certificate the next day.

Now the two are considered a legal couple.

Originally, according to Lin Yaling's idea, after the two of them got their marriage certificate, they would invite relatives and friends to have a simple meal together.

But, Xiao Renming said, the college entrance examination is coming soon, so don't bother with such nonsense, it won't be too late to talk about it after the exam.

Besides, in fact, all the relatives and friends of the Xiao family already knew that Xiao Lijuan had married Wang Haoran!
Soon, the two arrived at the residence of Xiao Renming and his wife.

Xiao Renming and his wife are both at home.

They are cooking.

Seeing Wang Haoran and another person coming, Lin Yaling asked them to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.

Xiao Renming cooked several dishes himself.

Wang Haoran saw that the meal was quite rich, and even included shrimp, which was hard to find. "Haoran, you have an exam tomorrow, so I won't let you drink tonight," Xiao Renming said with a smile.

Wang Haoran said: "It's mainly because you understand me and know that I can't drink much."

The family chatted while eating.

The content of the chat mainly revolved around Wang Haoran.

Because, according to Xiao Renming, there are many people in universities and academia who actually think that Wang Haoran is just a phony and that there are experts working for him, deliberately packaging him as a genius.

Now, Wang Haoran is going to take the college entrance examination, and maybe the truth will be revealed.

So, many people are waiting to watch the show.

Of course, ordinary people in Longguo are also very concerned about Wang Haoran's performance in this college entrance examination.

Who made him so famous?

……

The next day, after breakfast, Wang Haoran and Xiao Lijuan went to their respective examination rooms.

What Wang Haoran didn't expect was that Feng Aiguo, the secretary of the Security Department of Beijing Institute of Technology, was actually waiting at the gate of the staff quarters with another person.

Both of them were riding bicycles.

They split up and sent Wang Haoran and Xiao Lijuan to their respective test sites.

When he arrived at the test site, Wang Haoran found that there were quite a lot of people there.

There were actually reporters guarding the gate.

After all, this is the first exam after the resumption of the college entrance examination.

The attention is very high, so it is normal for reporters to go to the scene for interviews.

What Wang Haoran did not expect was that Wang Jianguo, a senior reporter from Beijing TV Station, and his colleagues were also at the entrance of the examination room.

As soon as Wang Haoran arrived at the test site on his bicycle, he was stopped by Wang Jianguo.

"Hello, Comrade Haoran!" Wang Jianguo looked very happy.

Wang Haoran also smiled and nodded in response.

It's windy today. After all, it's winter and the weather is quite cold.

Wang Jianguo's hands, which were holding the microphone, were a little red and swollen from the cold.

"Comrade Haoran, how do you feel at this moment?" Wang Jianguo asked.

Wang Haoran smiled faintly and said, "I'm looking forward to it. The college entrance examination is a major event in life, and you only take it once in your lifetime."

Wang Jianguo asked: "Are you nervous now?"

Wang Haoran nodded: "Of course I am a little nervous! However, I think moderate nervousness is conducive to performing at the best level in the exam."

When Wang Jianguo was interviewing Wang Haoran, people gathered around him.

Everyone listened to Wang Haoran's interview with great interest.

After all, most people don’t usually get to see Wang Haoran, the legendary genius.

Of course, the vast majority of candidates have no interest in watching.

Because they all know that this exam will determine their fate!

Once you get into university, your career will be filled with opportunities and you can instantly become a state official!

If you fail the exam, you will just waste your time at the grassroots level.

Many people are still holding their books and reciting frantically.

The first subject was politics, and I mainly relied on memorization.

Wang Jianguo continued to interview Wang Haoran: "Comrade Haoran, do you think you can do well in the college entrance examination this time?"

"There are 500 points in total. How many points do you think you can get?"

Wang Haoran was naturally modest: "Whether I will do well in the exam or not is not certain. I will try my best."

"I hope I can try my best to get a few more points. After all, admission to the Capital Industrial College requires a very high score."

Wang Haoran didn't want to attract hatred, so bragging about getting full marks in the exam would do no good except making people jealous.

Finally, I’m about to enter the examination room.

Wang Haoran followed the crowd of candidates inside.

He walked and observed the other candidates.

Many of them looked quite old.

He had an untidy beard and rough hands, and looked to be in his thirties at least.

They come from all walks of life, but the educated youth who went to the countryside should be the main force.

"Wang Haoran!" A familiar voice came.

Wang Haoran turned his head and saw that it was Du Ming.

This kid actually took part in the college entrance examination this year.

However, it is normal to think about it. Who doesn’t want to change their destiny by passing the college entrance examination?

"Well, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we were assigned to the same examination room." Wang Haoran said with a smile.

Du Ming said: "I didn't expect it either."

"Alas! I know there is no chance for me to pass the exam. Because I can't concentrate on studying at all. Reading the review materials is like reading an incomprehensible book."

"It was Qiaozhi who forced me to take the college entrance examination."

Wang Haoran smiled and thought, it seems that Li Qiaozhi really has Du Ming under control, which is really rare!
"Qiaozhi is about to give birth, right?" Wang Haoran asked.

Du Ming said: "It will probably take another month or two."

"I'm under a lot of pressure! If it weren't for my parents' support, I wouldn't be able to support my family at all!"

"I used to smoke Peony, but now I can only smoke Economy."

There was a hint of fatigue in Du Ming's voice.

Wang Haoran saw that the boy had a haggard face and bloodshot eyes. It seemed that he had been cramming for exams at the last minute.

"Haha! It's not easy for every man! Do your best in the exam! I wish you a good result."

Wang Haoran walked into the examination room and sat at the side of the front row.

The classroom was also cold, just like entering an ice cave.

Wang Haoran sat down at his seat and rubbed his hands first. Although he was wearing half gloves, he still felt that his hands were frozen.

The winters in this era are really cold.

The first exam was on politics. Although Wang Haoran did not review it specifically, he was well aware of the major political events and mainstream views at the time.

Therefore, he answered very fluently.

There weren't that many questions to begin with, and he finished them all in just over half an hour.

After finishing writing, he felt a little embarrassed because it would be too conspicuous to hand in the paper and leave early.

But sitting in the examination room is too cold.

Although he was wearing a military coat, he still felt shivering.

Wang Haoran waited until the exam was over before he handed in his paper and left.

The afternoon exam was in physics and chemistry, and Wang Haoran deliberately slowed down his pace when answering the questions.

This will avoid the boredom of answering too quickly and attracting the special attention of the invigilator.

The two-day exam passed in a flash.

For Wang Haoran, this is just a small episode in his life.

However, the vast majority of people taking the college entrance examination this year are destined to endure a long and torment!
Because you have to wait for more than two months before you can get the final admission result.

Time flies, and 1977 passed quickly. In mid-January, the project of domestic color TV production line led by Wang Haoran was finally completed. Under the leadership of Wang Haoran, everyone assembled a production line for experiments in the laboratory.
