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

Chapter 146 Defeat them with their rules [Subscribe]

Liu Chuanzhi said a little ashamedly: "Mr. Merrick, I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't want to help you, but it really will have a bad impact."

Merrick shook his head and said, "It's really nothing. Mr. Liu, I think we can still cooperate."

"However, we need to conduct a thorough investigation of our competitors to see what level of technology they have reached before we go into in-depth cooperation."

"How about this, you write me a comprehensive report on your experience using your domestically made computers."

"Then I'll have our headquarters do an assessment."

Liu Chuanzhi agreed.

So, both parties left their contact information.

After leaving Liu Chuanzhi's home, Mike went to the consulate in Jusa.

At this time, Jusa and we were in our honeymoon period and became quite close to each other.

But Jusa has always been full of evil intentions.

At the consulate, Merick called Nelson, the president of IBM headquarters.

Merick told Nelson what he had just learned.

Nelson didn't believe it at all.

"No way? They have been blocked by us for so many years, their computer technology cannot develop so fast."

Merrick smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Nelson, I don't quite believe it either."

"But I have no choice but to believe it!"

"The person who wants to discuss cooperation with us will not lie to us."

"During the time I spent with him, I could clearly sense that he admired and respected Jusa very much."

“He should be the opposition force that we can develop and use.”

Nelson hesitated for a moment and said, "The best way is to get one of their domestically produced computers and study it carefully."

“I’ll have someone do it.”

"Yes! I will personally fly to Dragon Country and experience it for myself!"

"Computer technology is our most advantageous high-tech, we will never allow them to have it!"

Merrick smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Nelson, I don't think we can influence them, and we can't treat them like foot basins!"

Nelson said: "It depends on what appropriate means we use to do this."

……

The energy of the Jews is still very great.

It only took them a little over a day to get a domestically produced Pangu computer from Longguo.

The computer was taken to the consulate in Jusa.

At this time, Nelson had already flown to Dragon Country.

When he saw this computer made in Longguo, his face became a little gloomy.

Because this computer has a really beautiful appearance!
It looks very well made.

What does this mean?
This shows that Longguo has strong industrial manufacturing capabilities.

Nelson has seen the washing machine produced by Daxiong, which is basically a bucket. The TV produced by Daxiong also looks like an ugly lump of iron.

Whether it is the case or the display, Pangu Computer is very sophisticated and pays great attention to craftsmanship and aesthetics.

This fully demonstrates that their manufacturing capabilities are quite good.

"Mr. Nelson, let's turn on the machine and test it," said Merrick.

Nelson nodded, his expression becoming even more gloomy.

He said, “Turn it on and give it a try.”

So, Merrick pressed the power button.

"Di-"

With a slight beep, the computer started booting up.

A cursor appeared on the computer screen.

The computer starts the power-on self-test.

It only took about ten seconds for the computer to boot up.

The Windows graphical interface appears.

There are several kinds of software on the interface, which are clear at a glance.

Merrick was shocked and said, "Oh my God! They really came up with a Windows graphical interface..."

"How did they do it?"

Today, in Jusa, the computer operating system is still in DOS command mode.

Now, even the giant Microsoft is just a small Karami!
Nelson frowned and said, "So, I want to say that we must never underestimate the Dragon people! They are very smart!"

"We can see this from the fact that foot basins can create a world-class economic miracle."

"Let me experience this Dragon Country's domestically made computer for myself."

Nelson started to do it himself.

He immediately felt the powerful functions of this computer.

Memory, there is actually as much as 16M?
Poor IBM, even its most advanced microcomputer now has only 4M of memory.

The hard drive is also very powerful, and the storage capacity can reach 2G?

IBM's microcomputer hard drive is only 512M.

Not to mention the CPU, which is faster than IBM's CPU and processes instructions without any delay.

Looking at the various indicators of the CPU, it is much stronger than the most advanced Intel CPU.

Nelson tried out the application software on his computer again.

This application is also very easy to use, especially for editing documents.

Moreover, their document application software even integrates word processing, spreadsheet processing, presentation document processing, etc.

In other words, almost all office writing work can be done using computers.

In terms of application software, they are obviously much stronger than IBM.

IBM, it is obvious that it has fallen behind in all aspects...

Nelson's forehead was already covered with cold sweat.

Because Nelson understood it all too well.

In the field of science and technology, falling behind means being beaten!
Merrick said, "Mr. Nelson, I feel like we are really far behind them."

Nelson looked very unhappy: "I think so too."

Merrick said, "Now, what do we do?"

Nelson shook his head: "I don't know what to do either."

"But we must get their advanced microcomputer technology as soon as possible!"

Merrick said, "They probably won't hand it over to us easily, right?"

"You know, they're not foot basins."

Nelson said: "Then make your request through formal channels!"

“Just tell them that we are very close friends now and we should help and achieve each other.”

"Since they have made a breakthrough in the computer field, they should share the results."

Merrick was stunned for a moment and said, "I think this is probably not easy to do."

Nelson said: "If you don't try, who knows?"

……

The Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, Guo Weiyang’s office.

Guo Weiyang is looking at an application report.

This application was submitted by Liu Guangwu, director of the Computer Institute of Longke Academy of Sciences.

The main content of the application is to exchange computer technology with Jusa.

Liu Guangwu said in his application that Jurisprudence can be said to be the country with the most advanced computer technology in the world.

Jusa controls the most advanced computer technology in the world.

Now, Jusa has taken the initiative to propose exchanging the two countries' latest computer science and technology, and both sides should not keep anything to themselves.

After reading this application, Guo Weiyang frowned.

Because he felt that there was something wrong with this application.

What does this mean?

We just made some achievements in computer technology, and they immediately asked for an exchange?
Guo Weiyang doesn't have a good impression of Yusa.

After all, they had fought against each other many times on the battlefield.

Guo Weiyang had no idea how many times he had experienced Jusa's lack of bottom line.

Jusa and Lizard believe in Machiavellianism, which is to use any means to achieve the goal!
Machiavelli was an Italian politician and historian. In his book The Prince, he put forward the proposition that "a prince can use any means to achieve his goals."

This kind of thinking was later called Machiavellianism.

Guo Weiyang thought that getting close to Yusa now was actually a temporary solution.

If you really think too highly of Yusa, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later.

Guo Weiyang was about to write “disagree” on the application.

However, he stopped before starting to write.

He wanted to call Liu Guangwu over to ask about the situation.

Whose idea was this?

Who wants to have such a profound exchange with Yusa in the field of computers?

He even suspected that Liu Guangwu had been bribed.

Thinking of this, Guo Weiyang picked up the phone and called Liu Guangwu's office.

Now, the telephone in Longguo has basically achieved the popularization of domestic switches.

So, you no longer have to transfer calls through the switchboard.

The call soon reached Liu Guangwu's office.

By the way, there is a VIP in Liu Guangwu's office right now.

This distinguished guest was none other than IBM President Nielsen.

By the way, it was through Liu Guangwu that Nielsen wanted to conduct in-depth communication and cooperation with China's computer field, and even sign a strategic cooperation agreement.

Nelson is now eloquently describing the benefits that will be brought to both IBM and the Institute of Computer Science if they work closely together.

But Liu Guangwu felt that the other party was absolutely right.

Jusa was a bad guy before.

But aren’t we reconciled now?
So, we are now close friends.

Isn't it normal for friends to cooperate deeply and benefit each other?

Liu Guangwu said to Nelson: "Mr. Nelson, I am very happy to cooperate with you."

"We have already applied to our superiors."

"I firmly believe that we can cooperate successfully!"

Nelson was naturally secretly delighted at this moment.

He smiled and said, "I hope this cooperation will be successful."

“If the collaboration is successful, we can make progress together.”

"I can tell you for sure that we can definitely help China's computer technology achieve breakthrough development!"

"We will not set any restrictions on the cooperation between the two parties!"

"We will not hide anything."

Nelson spoke eloquently.

Just at this moment, the phone on Liu Guangwu's desk rang.

Liu Guangwu apologized to Nelson and put the microphone to his ear.

Guo Weiyang's majestic voice came from the microphone: "Comrade Guangwu, please come to my place."

Liu Guangwu's heart skipped a beat.

He thought to himself, this tone is a bit harsh...

"Okay, okay! I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Guangwu said to Nelson: "Mr. Nelson, I'm sorry, I have to go to my superiors."

"How about we stop here today?" Nelson left tactfully.

However, when Nelson left, he was a little worried.

Because Nelson felt that something was wrong with Liu Guangwu's expression.

"God bless me! Please don't let this fucking ruin everything!"

Liu Guangwu came to Guo Weiyang's office.

As soon as Guo Weiyang saw Liu Guangwu, he threw the application he had typed in front of him: "Comrade Guangwu, what do you think?"

"You actually want to have in-depth cooperation with IBM and exchange all computer technologies with them?"

Liu Guangwu blinked and said, "Leader, IBM is the most advanced computer technology company in Jusa. If we cooperate with them, I'm afraid we will be the ones who benefit, right?"

"It is for this reason that we want to cooperate with them."

Guo Weiyang sighed.

He now somewhat believed that Liu Guangwu had been deceived.

The people of Dragon Country today are still too naive.

There are some among them who always tend to trust the Jews and the West.

"Comrade Guangwu, have you forgotten the losses we suffered in the past?"

"We have hoped many times before to buy the most advanced computers from Jusa, but they refused!"

"When we want to buy their advanced chips, they always make excuses and even sell us inferior products."

"Don't you think it's a little strange that they suddenly start to actively and strongly ask to exchange computer science technology with us?"

Liu Guangwu was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "Oh, I really haven't thought about it that much."

"I just feel that we have a very close relationship now. We can be said to be standing in the same trench."

"Plus they are indeed more advanced and developed than we are."

"That's why I think signing a deep technical cooperation agreement with them is a great thing for us."

Guo Weiyang shook his head gently and said, "When Yusa began to take the initiative to attack, it must be because it was of great benefit to them!"

"They won't be so proactive if it's not in their favor!"

"I can tell you clearly that our domestic computer technology has probably surpassed Yosa now, and the lead is not small."

Liu Guangwu was stunned: "Oh? Is that really the case?"

Guo Weiyang said seriously: "Is there any need to say that?"

"Comrade Guangwu, we must use our brains!"

“Scientists cannot just do research blindly, they still need to learn more about the real development status of the industry!”

"You are too superstitious about Judas."

"I rejected this cooperation!"

"Be more careful next time!"

……

However, after Nelson left Liu Guangwu's office, he returned to the consulate in Jusa.

As soon as he arrived at the consulate, Mike came over to report.

"Mr. Nelson, our technicians have completely disassembled the Dragon Country Pangu computer."

Nelson asked, “How is it?”

“They are way ahead of us in all areas,” Merrick said.

"Their CPU, memory chips, hard disk technology, graphics card technology, sound card chip technology, power supply technology, motherboard technology and even display technology are all better than ours!"

"If they start to promote and sell such powerful and excellent computers to the whole world, we IBM will be crushed!"

"I can swear, we can't beat them at all."

Nelson sighed. This is really a tricky thing!
"Mr. Nelson, have you signed the cooperation agreement with the Computer Institute of the Longguo Academy of Sciences?" Mike asked again.

Nelson sighed and said, "I seriously doubt now that something is going to go wrong."

"I hope my instinct is wrong."

That afternoon, Nelson received the bad news: Liu Guangwu told Nelson that the in-depth cooperation agreement could not be signed.

Because the superiors vetoed this cooperation.

Nelson was naturally unwilling to accept this and asked for the specific reasons.

Liu Guangwu didn't say much, just said that his superiors did not agree.

But Nelson soon found out: the reason why the other party was unwilling to sign an in-depth cooperation agreement was mainly because the top leaders of Longguo knew that Longguo's computer technology was already far ahead of Jusa.

This was a pity for Nelson's arrival.

He originally thought that he could easily obtain Dragon Country's advanced computer technology through deception.

But now it seems that this no longer works.

What a pity! What a pity! I almost succeeded.

God knows why Liu Guangwu from the Computer Institute of Longke Academy would report to his superiors.

This is where Nelson doesn't understand the conditions of Dragon Country.

He thought that the Computer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences should be in charge of all computer technologies, and as long as IBM could deal with them, it would be able to get the technical materials it wanted.

But few people know that Longguo’s advanced computer science and technology is actually in the hands of Pangu Computer Technology Company.

……

At Pangu Computer Technology Company, Wang Haoran was talking to Guo Weiyang in his office.

Guo Weiyang came to visit Pangu Computer Company the morning after he rejected the cooperation agreement between the Computer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and IBM.

Guo Weiyang told Wang Haoran about the application Liu Guangwu submitted.

After finishing his speech, Guo Weiyang said: "I guess they will use some despicable means to try to take advantage of our technology next time."

"Comrade Haoran, you must also take precautions!"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "It's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but it's hard to be on guard against thieves for a thousand days."

"As long as they still respect the rules and the so-called copyright, we will use these rules to deal with them."

“We have registered international patents for all our computer technologies.”

"It's not easy for them to take away our technology."

Wang Haoran paused and said, "As for civilian technology, it seems that we can't hide it even if we want to."

"Why not be more open and generous!"

"Well! My idea is, why not talk to IBM and see if they are willing to be the agent of our computer products? We can also make some foreign exchange by the way."

Guo Weiyang nodded and said, "This is a very good idea."

"We cannot just rely on exporting simple agricultural products and minerals to earn foreign exchange."

"Yosa needs us now, so we must take advantage of their needs to earn more profits and develop our economy!"

……

Beijing Department Store is a commercial landmark.

It is the first large department store in Longguo.

By the 1980s, it had become the first choice for Beijing residents to shop.

Du Ming went shopping at the Beijing Department Store with Li Qiaozhi that day.

Du Ming still works in a small factory on the street.

But Li Qiaozhi is now a self-employed individual.

Li Qiaozhi now runs a stall and sells pancakes in a residential area in a hutong every day.

Because the craftsmanship is pretty good, the business is quite good.

When Li Qiaozhi is busy now, she can earn more than ten yuan a day.

Nowadays, a set of pancakes costs 9 cents, but you have to add one or two grain coupons.

Of course, if you don’t give food coupons, you have to add another 2 cents.

Today is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is approaching.

Li Qiaozhi will not set up her stall from today onwards.

After all, the Chinese New Year is more important than anything else!

No matter how hardworking a person is, he still needs a few days of rest during the New Year.

Nowadays, Du Ming has completely become a henpecked husband.

Because Li Qiaozhi is not only fierce and tough, but now she has become an expert at making money.

She holds the economic power and has the final say in the Du family.

Li Qiaozhi walked in front with a bag on her shoulder.

Du Ming followed beside her, just half a step behind.

"Qiaozhi, the New Year is coming, shouldn't we buy some gifts for our parents to show our appreciation?" Du Ming said with a wry smile.

Li Qiaozhi turned her head and rolled her eyes at Du Ming, saying, "Do I need you to remind me of this?"

"I'm going to buy a pair of leather shoes for your dad and mine, and a cotton-padded jacket for your mom and mine at the Beijing Department Store."

Du Ming smiled and said, "That's good. We treat everyone equally. When we visit relatives after the New Year, we can give it to your parents. They will definitely be very happy."

Li Qiaozhi shook her head and said, "After buying it, it should be delivered before the New Year. Why do we have to wait until after the New Year?"

Du Ming quickly apologized with a smile and said, "You are right, you are right."

"They should be happy before the New Year."

As they were talking, they walked into the mall.

This shopping mall is crowded with people.

There are really a lot of people coming here to shop.

There is an open space at the entrance of the shopping mall.

There are a lot of people gathered there now.

Li Qiaozhi was a little curious, so she walked straight over.

"Huh?! What's this place for?"

Du Ming stood on tiptoe to take a look and said, "Oh! They're selling computers!"

“Besides, it’s a domestic product.”

Li Qiaozhi rolled her eyes at Du Ming again: "What? Do you look down on domestic products?"

“What’s wrong with domestic products?”

“You are also a domestic product!”

"If you look down on domestic products, it means you look down on yourself!"

Du Ming quickly said: "Ah! How dare I look down on domestic products!"

"Qiaozhi, let's go directly to the clothing area, okay?"

Li Qiaozhi shook her head: "No! What are you doing? Are you in such a hurry to get straight to the point?"

"I just want to watch the fun."

As Li Qiaozhi spoke, she began to look for a gap to squeeze into the crowd.

She quickly squeezed in front of a computer for demonstration.

This Pangu computer is turned on.

There are staff on hand to provide guidance.

Anyone who wants to experience it can queue up.

Li Qiaozhi stared with wide eyes as the staff instructing a bespectacled intellectual on how to operate a computer.

To Li Qiaozhi, computers were definitely high-tech, and she was just watching for fun.

However, after looking at it for a while, she saw the business opportunity.

This computer can print data and create documents, which is also needed by ordinary people.

If he buys one and opens a store, even if he only makes ten or eight dollars a day, it will be better than Du Ming continuing to work!
Li Qiaozhi looked at the price of the computer and was shocked: 3880 yuan for one?
A printer costs 560 yuan?
A scanner costs 497 yuan?
Nowadays, the average monthly salary of an average person is only 40 to 50 yuan. If you want to buy such a set of equipment, you need to spend four to five years without eating or drinking...

This is a bit too expensive.

However, Li Qiaozhi then thought: If I can open a printing shop like this, it should be profitable, right?

You may get your money back in less than a year, and the rest is net profit.

Du Ming, this loser, now works in a small factory on the street, earning only 29 yuan a month. What future does he have?
