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

Chapter 147 Grand Layout of Strategic Cooperation
Li Qiaozhi has saved more than 4700 yuan by selling pancakes as an individual business owner in more than a year.

She saved this little money by living frugally.

She saved the money to renovate her house, for example, expanding and reinforcing the attic to create more living space.

When she got married, her parents-in-law said that they would move out after she and Du Ming got married.

But that's just saying, they actually have nowhere to move to.

They originally wanted to see if the unit could provide them with another dormitory.

But housing was so tight that even the supply and marketing cooperatives could not have extra houses to allocate to them at any time.

Now, the whole family is still crowded in that small house.

Du Bayi and his wife suggested that they live in the bedroom downstairs while the old couple moved to the attic.

But Li Qiaozhi felt that she couldn't do that because people would criticize her and call her unfilial.

So, she still lives in the small attic with Du Ming.

That place was too small, and it always felt unstable. I was afraid that if I moved it too loudly, it would collapse.

Li Qiaozhi felt that the reason why she had not been able to get pregnant again was definitely because she was trembling with fear and anxiety when doing that thing, and could not enjoy it to the fullest. Naturally, it was difficult for her to get pregnant.

"It would be great if we could change our housing conditions someday!"

She had been pregnant before, but the child was born with severe congenital defects and ultimately could not be saved.

Since then, she has not been pregnant again.

Li Qiaozhi thought about renting a storefront in the alley to open a shop, which would also solve her and Du Ming's housing problem.

There is also a store in the alley that is currently closed. It was a state-owned snack shop, which was later closed and moved to another larger state-owned canteen.

The store remained vacant.

Li Qiaozhi also asked the community, and the community clearly told her that the store could be contracted out.

The contracting fee is only about 120 yuan a year.

Li Qiaozhi was a little moved at that time.

The house is more than 20 square meters in total. The front is separated and the back can be used for living.

In this way, all the problems of opening a store and housing are solved.

"Du Ming, I have a plan now." Li Qiaozhi said to Du Ming.

"Hehe! Wife, your plan is my plan." Du Ming said in a mean way.

Li Qiaozhi said: "Well, we have about 5,000 yuan now. I plan to buy a computer and a printer and open a computer printing shop."

"Then what? You become the shop owner. Is that okay?"

When Du Ming heard this, his eyes widened as big as eggs: "Ah?! Wife, you want to sell all your family assets to buy that computer?"

"But how can I open a printing shop? I don't even know how to use a computer!"

"It would be bad if I lose everything!"

Li Qiaozhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You loser! Look at Wang Haoran, he's a great scientist! If you can't even use a computer, aren't you useless?"

"Also, everyone needs a computer printing shop. I think many companies need to print documents or something. As long as this shop is opened, it will definitely make money!"

"How can I lose money?"

"Listen to me! Don't go to that class! After the Spring Festival, you can open a shop and be your own boss!"

Du Ming shrank his neck, and his heart trembled when Li Qiaozhi glanced at him sideways.

"Well, that's fine."

"Qiaozhi, I'll listen to whatever you say. But don't blame me if you lose money in the future."

Li Qiaozhi said, "There's no way I can compensate you, okay?"

"Well, let's go withdraw all the money now and buy a computer and a printer to take home!"

Li Qiaozhi dragged Du Ming to the bank to withdraw money without saying anything.

They went to several outlets and finally managed to withdraw enough money.

At this time, it was already noon.

No matter what Li Qiaozhi does, she is always quick and aggressive.

She dragged Du Ming back to the Beijing Department Store.

At noon, there were obviously fewer people here.

What Li Qiaozhi didn't expect was that she actually saw Wang Haoran in the Pangu computer display area.

It was Wang Haoran's idea to display and sell computers and other products in Beijing department stores.

He just wanted to test the waters and see how people would react to this new thing called computers.

At around 11 o'clock this morning, Wang Haoran came to Beijing Department Store in person to check out the situation.

What surprised him was that 5 computers were sold during the exhibition that morning, all of which were bought by individual buyers.

This shows that Wang Haoran's judgment was correct. By 1980, after two years of revitalization, the number of families with some money had greatly increased.

In this era, there are many traders and small vendors in big cities.

With the development of the economy and the improvement of people's purchasing power, smart traders have emerged.

These people took advantage of the price difference between planned and unplanned goods and made profits by reselling scarce materials in the market.

Of course, in addition to the profiteers who walk on the edge of the law, there are many small traders and hawkers.

Nowadays, setting up stalls is very popular in Beijing.

In busy and prosperous places, there are many people setting up stalls to sell goods.

This formed the morning market and the night market.

Some young people brought rare items like electronic watches from the south. A watch might only cost one dollar when purchased, but they would sell it for five dollars, and some could make hundreds of dollars overnight.

Therefore, there really are the first generation of wealthy people in the capital city.

Wang Haoran arrived at Pangu Computer's booth at 11:20 am.

As soon as I arrived, I was recognized by a young man with long hair and a checkered shirt who was watching the booth.

The young man actually had a Seagull camera in his hand and insisted on taking a photo with Wang Haoran.

Then, the young man told Wang Haoran that he wanted to buy 100 Pangu computers, but he didn’t have that much money at the moment, so he asked Wang Haoran if he could buy them on credit first, and then he would settle with Pangu Company when he sold them.

The young man also said that if Wang Haoran could cooperate with him for a long time, he guaranteed to make Wang Haoran a 100,000 yuan household within a year!

These days, a household with an annual income of 10,000 yuan is considered a rare sight.

A household with an income of 100,000 yuan would be considered a wealthy person in later generations.

As soon as Wang Haoran heard the other party's words, he knew that this person was a trader.

Apparently, he wanted to sell the computers to other big cities and make a huge profit from the difference.

Wang Haoran priced Pangu computers at a minimum of 3700 yuan in Beijing department stores, which is a very low price.

You know, now many Jusa computer giants are also entering the Chinese market.

They charge at least 5 yuan for a computer!

Moreover, their computers are not as good as Pangu computers.

Wang Haoran naturally rejected the young man's invitation to cooperate.

He thought to himself, you little brat, how can I let you make this money?
Once our production capacity is increased, we will supply the whole country with unlimited supply. We will use low prices to speed up the popularization of personal computers in the country!
Wang Haoran was helping a woman who came here specifically to experience Pangu Computer how to type using the Pinyin input method, when he was suddenly slapped hard on the shoulder.

"Wang Haoran, I didn't expect to meet you here!" A woman's loud voice was a little deafening.

He turned his head and found it was Li Qiaozhi.

"Qiaozhi, what a coincidence!" Wang Haoran said with a smile.

Li Qiaozhi said with a smile: "I thought you had become a big shot and no longer recognized us, your brothers and sisters from the lower class!"

Wang Haoran said: "How could that be?!"

“Licai Village will always be my second home.”

“Everyone in the village is my relative.”

Wang Haoran spoke and nodded at Du Ming.

Du Ming is now no longer as rebellious as he was in the past.

The whole person has gained a lot of weight.

There was a flattering smile on his face.

Li Qiaozhi said: "You have a conscience!"

"Wang Haoran, did you research this computer?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "My team and I worked on this together."

"Qiaozhi, are you interested in it?"

“Would you like to experience it?”

Li Qiaozhi was a little shy: "I'm just a primary school graduate, don't break the advanced stuff."

Wang Haoran said: "This thing is not that fragile, it won't break even if you hit it casually."

"Yes! You can learn computers even after graduating from elementary school."

“As long as you know pinyin, you can input text.”

The female customer in front stood up.

Li Qiaozhi sat in front of the computer.

She was a little nervous.

Afraid of embarrassing myself.

Wang Haoran told her where to put her fingers on the keyboard.

I told her how to get familiar with the position of each letter on the keyboard. After several times, Li Qiaozhi was able to type slowly into Pangu Documents.

She was overjoyed when she saw what she typed slowly appear on the screen.

"Ha! I can use the computer now."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "If you become more proficient, you will be qualified to be an office typist."

Li Qiaozhi nodded enthusiastically, and then she told Wang Haoran about her idea.

Wang Haoran thought that Li Qiaozhi was quite smart and could actually see business opportunities.

At this moment, opening a computer printing shop is definitely profitable.

Because the demand is quite large.

"Qiaozhi, do you have money? I think it would cost at least four or five thousand yuan to open a computer printing shop."

Li Qiaozhi said proudly: "I am making a lot of money now..."

Li Qiaozhi talked about how she was a self-employed person selling pancakes.

After listening to this, Wang Haoran gave a thumbs up.

He turned to Du Ming and said, "Du Ming, you married a good wife!"

"I have a feeling that you will become very rich in the next ten years. It is possible that you will become a millionaire, maybe even a millionaire."

Du Ming laughed and shook his head, saying, "I don't think that's realistic."

"But it's true that I married a good wife."

"I usually support her in whatever she wants to do."

Li Qiaozhi said: "Humph! Do you dare not support it?"

Du Ming smiled and stuck out his tongue and said, "I really don't dare."

Wang Haoran thought it was quite interesting to see the two people bickering like this.

He let Du Ming experience the feeling of using a computer again.

As a result, Du Ming looked even uglier than Li Qiaozhi when he was typing on the computer.

From this we can see that this person does have a difference in talent and IQ.

Some people are born in humble circumstances, but their intelligence and talents have always existed, they just don't have the opportunity to show them.

"Wang Haoran, do you think we can open a computer printing shop?" Du Ming was a little unconfident.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "I think there should be no problem."

"But, Du Ming, you still need to practice more."

"Opening a computer printing shop is sure to make money now. Qiaozhi has a really good eye."

"You guys should buy a computer in advance and practice typing and typesetting."

"I believe that after the New Year, you can open the store and make money."

"Well! I will give you a booklet when the time comes. You just need to practice Pangu Document according to the booklet, and then there will be no problem."

Just like that, Li Qiaozhi and his wife bought a computer and a printer.

Wang Haoran has already entrusted the printing supplies and printing paper to a company.

Therefore, these two aspects will not be a problem at all.

……

The idea of ​​displaying and selling Pangu computers in Beijing Department Store was proposed by Wang Haoran.

He thought that since foreign giants such as IBM might already know that China's domestically produced computers had made a huge breakthrough, it would be better to just show it off.

Anyway, personal computers are for civilian use, so there is no need to hide them.

What's more, it can't be hidden at all now?
As expected by Wang Haoran, after Pangu Computer was exhibited in Beijing department stores, it quickly attracted many foreigners in Beijing to experience it.

Most of these people are diplomatic envoys from various countries.

There are also representatives of commercial companies in China.

Among them is Mike, a senior business manager at IBM.

After Mike learned that Pangu Computer was on display at the Beijing Department Store, he arrived at the site the next morning.

On the spot, he once again personally experienced the Pangu computer.

He also confirmed one thing again: China's Pangu computer has indeed surpassed IBM in all aspects.

Mike told the staff on site: If he wanted to be the general distributor of Pangu Computer overseas, who should he talk to about this matter?

The staff on site did not dare to delay and reported to Wang Haoran.

That afternoon, Mike met Wang Haoran.

He greeted respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Wang! My name is Mike, and my real identity is a senior business manager of IBM."

Wang Haoran already knew the other party's identity at this time.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Merrick, how exactly do you IBM want to cooperate with us?"

Without hesitation, Mairick said, “I would like to invite your company to invest in Yusa, and we can become joint venture partners.”

"In this way, if we all work together, I believe we will soon be able to occupy a large share of the North American market. We can make a fortune together."

When it comes to joint ventures, Wang Haoran is actually no stranger to it.

In the previous life, many companies from the Lizard Kingdom came to Dragon Country to develop the market. Almost all of the areas related to the national economy and people's livelihood were required to form joint ventures.

For example: In the automotive industry, all of them were joint ventures at the beginning.

The Long people value rules and credit, so there is nothing wrong with cooperating with us.

However, if you go abroad and cooperate with Jewish merchants, you are likely to be cheated.

Wang Haoran smiled calmly and said, "The large industrial enterprises in your country of Jusa are all transferring their production capacity abroad!"

"Your domestic production costs are quite high!"

"Under this circumstance, it's not very appropriate to set up a factory in your country for production, right?"

Merrick smiled and said, "You have a point, but IBM's production capacity is now all in North America."

"I assure you that as long as you agree to the joint venture, we can ensure that you will get a very high profit. The profit you get may even be higher than the selling price in your own country!"

"Mr. Wang, you know that our country is the richest. We sell more than one million computers every year."

Mike tried his best to seduce Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Mr. Mairick, we don't want to adopt the joint venture approach."

“Perhaps, we can use other ways of cooperation.”

"For example, we can provide you with the parts you need for your computer, such as CPU and operating system. We can provide you with both."

"Moreover, we can provide it to you at a very favorable price, and you can assemble and produce it in your country, and still use your own brand name. Isn't that much better?"

Merrick was stunned.

He thought so too!

If we can use Pangu's CPU and operating system to assemble computers, wouldn't we be able to earn more ourselves?

However, in this case, we must sign a strategic cooperation agreement with Longguo Pangu Computer Technology Company!

Only in this way can the supply of core products be ensured.

"Then I have another request. I wonder if your company can set up a chip production chain in Jusa? In this way, we can be guaranteed the CPU and memory we need."

Merrick made his request again.

He needed to keep IBM safe.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Let's not do it."

"Mr. Merrick, we can sign a strategic cooperation agreement with you."

"Yes! In addition to ensuring our own domestic needs, we can give priority to meeting your IBM memory and CPU needs!"

"Moreover, I can also make a clear promise: the price of the products I provide you is half of the price of your domestic products!"

Wang Haoran would definitely not dare to make the promise until the chip production line was completely completed.

Because at that time, the chip production yield rate was too low and the efficiency was too low.

But now it’s different. Now, Longguo’s chip production yield rate can reach 99%!
Production efficiency has also been greatly improved.

Today, the cost of chip production in Longguo may be less than one-third of that in Jusa.

Merrick was a little confused at once.

The suggestion made by Wang Haoran really made him a little excited.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, I have another suggestion. If you authorize us to use your Pangu operating system, we should change it to a style that suits our own style. Is that possible?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Sure!"

"You can modify it according to your needs, there is no problem!"

"Moreover, your use of our operating system is free for the first three years, without any copyright fees!"

"Well, are we kind enough?"

Merrick was delighted.

You know, IBM is now cooperating with Microsoft, using Microsoft's operating system, and needs to pay Microsoft copyright fees.

And Microsoft's operating system is simply incomparable to Pangu's operating system!

"Mr. Wang, I need to report to our president. I have a feeling that he will most likely come over to discuss signing a strategic cooperation agreement with you in person."

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for good news from you."

Merrick went to report to his boss.

After receiving the report, IBM President Nelson said excitedly that he would go to Longguo in person to talk to Wang Haoran!
