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

Chapter 128 The Road Must Not Go Wrong

Shan Shang Chengye knew that China had very little foreign exchange and did not have enough money to import switches from Europe and the United States.

As for Jiaoben, it is willing to provide low-interest Japanese yen loans.

The current exchange rate of the Japanese yen to the US dollar is 208:1.

In order to expand exports and boost the economy, the United States currently provides yen loans to underdeveloped developing countries to encourage them to import their products.

In this way, they can kill two birds with one stone: they can open up the market, expand the international trading share of the yen, earn interest on the loan, and then purchase the other party's resources at a low price.

When negotiating with the postal and telecommunications department in Beijing, Yamagami Chengye also promised to provide the other party with a loan of over one trillion yen.

Only a foot basin can provide such good conditions.

Therefore, Shanshang Chengye is really not afraid of customers running away.

He talked twice with Liu Zijian, the head of the Beijing Post and Telecommunications Department, but the two sides were unable to reach a consensus.

Shan Shang Chengye thought, then I won’t rush to talk to you anymore.

I'd better wait for you to come to me and beg me.

That night, Chengye on the mountain suddenly received some bad news.

The news is: The team of Longguo scientist Wang Haoran has developed a domestically produced programmable switching system for Longguo!
After hearing the news, Shan Shang Chengye's originally determined heart became uneasy.

Because, it was this Wang Haoran who ruined Sony’s business before!
Sony originally had the opportunity to sell its obsolete production lines to Longguo Enterprises at a high price.

But as luck would have it, Wang Haoran developed Longguo's domestic color TV production line, which immediately thwarted Sony's wishful thinking.

Sony still feels hatred when it mentions Wang Haoran.

Shan Shang Chengye thought, if Longguo really developed its own domestically produced programmable switching system, then it would be the end of it!
Fujitsu is now gearing up to vigorously develop the Dragon Country market!

According to Fujitsu's research, the total value of the programmable switches that Longguo will need in the next few years could reach at least hundreds of billions of RMB, which is tens of trillions of yen!

Such a large order is enough to make Fujitsu's performance soar like a rocket.

Chengye on the mountain could no longer sit still.

He quickly used his connections in Longguo to investigate the truth of the matter.

The results of the investigation found: It’s true!
Wang Haoran’s team has indeed developed a 24-door programmable switching system!
However, Shan Shang Chengye now felt that he still had a chance of getting this big order.

After all, 24-door programmable switches are only suitable for small units.

If you want to build a city-wide telephone network that is completely controlled by programmable switches, you will need more advanced large-scale programmable switches.

Fujitsu has a complete range of various types of programmable switches.

As long as I make some concessions and lower the price a bit, maybe I can get the order.

Shan Shang Chengye thought so and decided to take the initiative.

The next morning, Shan Shang Chengye took the initiative to call Liu Zijian, the head of the Beijing Post and Telecommunications Department.

When the call was connected, Shan Shang Chengye said enthusiastically: "Mr. Liu, I hope we can meet and talk again."

"If an agreement can be reached, sign it as soon as possible."

"I can assure you that I can definitely give you a more favorable price."

Liu Zijian said calmly, "Mr. Shan Shang, I'm sorry, I'm afraid we need to think about it again."

Liu Zijian has also received the notice at this time: the domestic programmable switching system has been developed!
Although only a 24-port programmable switch has been developed so far, once a breakthrough is made in the programmable switch, the development of other larger switches will become easier.

Moreover, Liu Zijian received information that domestically produced programmable switching systems would be able to start mass production in at most half a year.

Each small domestic switch costs no more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, and a large switch costs no more than one million yuan.

This is three or four times cheaper than imported programmable switches.

The capital needs national support to build a complete programmable switching communication network.

Naturally, domestic products are given priority.

As soon as Shan Shang Chengye heard the other party's tone, he felt something was wrong.

He hurriedly asked: "Mr. Liu, do you have any other ideas?"

"I heard that your country has also developed a domestically produced program-controlled switch?"

Liu Zijian thought that this Japanese devil was quite well-informed.

As soon as the domestically-made programmable switching system was developed, he got the news.

Liu Zijian did not hide it: "Yes, our domestically produced program-controlled switching system has been developed."

"Then we must give priority to domestic products."

Shan Shang Chengye was very anxious. He said hurriedly, "But, Mr. Liu, you should know that Mr. Wang Haoran in your country has only developed a simple 24-door programmable switch, which is not enough to build a city-wide communication network."

"I don't think you can make the large-scale program-controlled machines that communications companies need."

"Please think twice."

Liu Zijian smiled and said, "Don't worry about this."

"Comrade Wang Haoran himself has already said that the large-scale program-controlled exchange is expected to be completed in ten days or half a month at most."

Shan Shang Chengye was a little helpless, and he said again: "Mr. Liu, the quality and performance of your domestically produced programmable computers must be very poor."

"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to use it after it's built?"

"If you really adopt domestically produced program-controlled machines in the future and they fail to work, I think you will be the one who will be held responsible in the end."

Liu Zijian smiled and said, "Look, you're starting to worry about me again."

"Let me tell you, the decision to use domestically produced programmable computers is made by the state. I have no say in this matter."

"Mr. Yamagami, if you have nothing else to do, then please stop here today."

Liu Zijian didn't want to waste time talking to Shan Shang Chengye anymore.

He thought, at the beginning, you were so arrogant! As if you had us in your hands.

What's going on now? Are you starting to learn to say nice things?
Shan Shang Chengye was a little angry and said, "Mr. Liu, you treat me very badly!"

"Your behavior will have a serious negative impact on the relationship between Dragon Country and Foot Basin!"

"Do you want to destroy our friendship?"

Ha! This guy is starting to get aggressive.

He always brings up the surprise of his allies as an excuse.

Liu Zijian thought, how many divisions do you have? Do you still think that it is 60 years ago and you little devils can walk around in Longguo?

Liu Zijian sneered and said, "Shan Shang, this is what I want to warn you about! Don't talk to me in such an arrogant tone! You will make the people of Longguo hate you even more!"

After he said this, he hung up the phone.

Shan Shang Chengye was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

"Could it be that this fat duck that has been caught is about to fly away again?"

Next, Shan Shang Chengye began to mobilize his power and, through the institutions stationed in Longguo, asked these institutions to come forward to exert various pressure and impose various conditions.

In order to get this big order, the people from Jiaoben worked hard.

They wanted to lend 10 trillion yen to Longguo, and promised to give a price that was one-third lower than that in Europe and Japan.

They also talked a lot about friendship.

However, all their activities ultimately failed to bring about any recovery.

Fujitsu's big order is still going to be completely lost. ...

What Wang Haoran never expected was that the Jiaoben people even asked a middleman to come and meet him, and the middleman very tactfully hoped that he would consider the overall situation and continue to maintain friendly relations with Jiaoben.

The middleman also said that as long as Wang Haoran could take a step back and stop working on large-scale programmable switches, he would have a backup in the future.

Hmm! If you know what it means to be a sentimental backup, you will know.

This middleman was a minor official in the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

His name is Liu Yunqing.

Liu Yunqing once studied in Jiaoben.

Later, he restored his relationship with Jiaoben and went to Jiaoben on business twice.

Liu Yunqing met with Wang Haoran alone under the pretext that he wanted to convey a message to Wang Haoran from the department leader.

So, when he was talking to Wang Haoran, there was no one else in Wang Haoran's office.

After listening to Liu Yunqing's words, Wang Haoran felt a little disgusted.

He thought to himself, it seems that this person has been bribed.

Since the restoration of relations, Jiaoben has invested heavily in cultivating friendly people in Longguo.

They say they are friendly people, but in fact they just keep dogs.

Wang Haoran glanced at Liu Yunqing calmly and said, "Comrade Liu Yunqing, I can understand what you just said as that you are fighting for the interests of the people of Jiaoben, right?"

Liu Yunqing naturally heard that there was something wrong with Wang Haoran's tone.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "Comrade Haoran, where did you get this from?"

"I'm telling you this for our own benefit, of course."

Wang Haoran's tone became even colder: "Tell me, what benefits will buying the Foot Basin People's switches bring to Longguo?"

Liu Yunqing felt more and more uneasy.

He came here today with a brave face to speak for the foot basin people.

Because he knew that Wang Haoran was a scientist under national key protection.

If he not only failed to convince Wang Haoran but also angered the other party, he would be in trouble.

Liu Yunqing was restless and said with a smile: "Okay, we can make friends with them! Only by making friends with them can we take advantage of the situation to develop better!"

"Comrade Haoran, you also know that Jiaoben is the most developed economy in the world. In terms of scientific research and technology, even the Ying family cannot compare with Jiaoben."

"I'm not saying that we can't make switches with super high technology ourselves. Buying the ready-made products from Jiaobenren is the best choice."

What a servile face.

This is not concealed at all.

Wang Haoran sneered and said, "What benefit did the foot basin man give you?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you have probably been bribed by the foot basin."

"You came to me pretending to be your superior, only to sell out our own interests!"

"What crime do you deserve!"

Cold sweat rolled down Liu Yunqing's forehead.

He sensed a strong sense of danger.

"Comrade Haoran, you, you misunderstood."

"Well, I, mainly because I deal with foot basins more often, I was also commissioned to come and talk to you. If you don't agree, forget it."

"Well, I, I'm leaving."

After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, he was about to stand up and say goodbye.

Wang Haoran laughed and said, "I advise you to turn yourself in! Don't wait to be caught by the National Security Bureau!"

Liu Yunqing fled in a panic.

He came out of Wang Haoran's office and found himself covered in cold sweat.

It’s winter now!

He was actually sweating all over.

Moreover, his crotch was wet. Perhaps he had just peed his pants because he was scared by Wang Haoran.

Liu Yunqing never thought that he had just come here to be a lobbyist, but he would suddenly fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

It seems that I have really annoyed Wang Haoran.

He, he actually asked me to turn myself in?

Liu Yunqing felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole.

He naturally knew that some of the things he had done in the past were enough to warrant a sentence.

Liu Yunqing was so regretful: Why did I accept such a task?

Now, it's completely exposed, right?
For a moment, he had the urge to run away.

However, he knew that he probably couldn't escape. But even if he couldn't escape, he had to escape! He should find the foot basin man to discuss a countermeasure.

……

After Wang Haoran and Liu Yunqing left, he felt a little upset.

Because he felt that people in the country now have almost completely lost their vigilance against foot basins.

The foot basin can be used in various layouts and various activities.

He clenched his fists. This time, he would never let Liu Yunqing go.

I should call the relevant department myself...

Because, for a spineless person like Liu Yunqing who betrays his mother for a little benefit, don't expect him to come to his senses, let alone turn himself in!

Wang Haoran picked up the phone on the table and made a call to the National Security Bureau.

This phone number was provided to Wang Haoran by the relevant department, so that when he finds something wrong, he can make a call and the national security personnel will quickly come to protect him.

After making the call, Wang Haoran still felt uncomfortable, so he called his leader again.

He didn't expect that the call would go so smoothly.

Wang Haoran briefly explained what had just happened.

Then he said, "Leader! I know that we need to make more friends internationally and improve our international environment."

"But we can't be too unprincipled, right?"

"We must severely punish these traitors who betrayed the interests of our country! In international exchanges, we must be neither humble nor arrogant. We cannot lose our principles or even become servile for the sake of so-called friendship!"

"Haoran, I understand this. Friendship is not something you ask for! It's something you achieve through mutual achievement!"

"I will instruct the relevant departments to sum up the lessons learned and crack down on some bad practices! Don't worry!"

……

The next day, news came that Liu Yunqing had been arrested, and Wang Haoran finally felt a little relieved.

Only then did he and his partners resume the scientific research task of developing large-scale programmable switches.
