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

Chapter 149 Helped Big Brother a Lot
However, after Petrov returned, he reported his experiences and feelings to his superior, Consul Osterlund.

Ostlund was shocked: "What? Their computer technology is more advanced than ours?"

“This shouldn’t be happening!”

Petrov smiled bitterly and said, "Comrade, this is an experience I personally went through. I can guarantee that there is not a single exaggeration in it."

"In short, perhaps we don't understand our former brothers at all!"

"I was wondering, aren't we looking for channels to buy advanced computers and chips?"

“Why not buy from them?”

Ostlund stood up and walked around the office.

He recalled the past times: he also participated in large-scale aid construction activities in those days.

He remembered very clearly that the Dragon Kingdom at that time was so poor. It was so poor that almost all industrial products could not be produced!

It's only been a dozen years, could it be that their industrial and technological capabilities have undergone a complete transformation?

Perhaps, the Dragon Kingdom can obtain advanced technology from Yusa?
After all, they are now quite close to Jusa.

Osterlund said: "Comrade Petrov, then talk to them."

"Maybe I should meet and talk to them."

"Let the past be the past! We should look forward!"

Petrov spread his hands and said, "Now, whether to talk or not, the initiative is in their hands."

"Also, we have no idea whether they are willing to sell their advanced technology products to us."

"That comrade told me that he would report to his superiors, and if they approved, he would call me."

"I always have a bad feeling: they are very likely not to sell us advanced computers and chips."

Ostlund sighed and said, "Let's wait and see!"

A day later, Petrov received a call from Wu Xiaojun.

Wu Xiaojun told Petrov that Wang Haoran welcomed him to visit Pangu Computer Technology Company and chat with him.

Petrov was overjoyed and quickly asked if his leader Osterlund could go with him.

Wu Xiaojun agreed readily.

After Petrov finished the call, he went to see Osterlund.

Ostlund was also very happy after hearing this, because this was obviously a kind response from others.

Maybe Big Bear can solve his big problem and get the advanced chips and computers he desperately needs.

In fact, what Daxiong lacks most now is advanced CPUs.

Big Bear has a lot of outstanding talents, but because they chose the wrong technology tree, they are increasingly falling behind in chips, which has hindered their own development in mechanical manufacturing, electronics industry, and so on.

Osterlund also hurriedly called the domestic leaders of Big Bear.

When his leader received the report, he felt that this matter was very serious, so he reported it to the top management.

The senior leader hesitated for a long time and murmured, "We made a big mistake in the past!"

"I think we should make up for the mistakes of the past."

"Let Ostlund have a good talk with them."

"Well! I hope we can ease the relationship. We can't just stop talking to each other forever, right?"

Osterlund received instructions and went to Pangu Computer Corporation's headquarters in Zhongguan Village with Petrov at the agreed time.

Their car was a Lada.

When the car arrived near Pangu Computer Company, they saw a huge factory appearing in front of them.

The factory building is very beautiful and the gate is very grand.

When their car arrived at the gate, someone led them to the office building first.

Osterlund got out of the car, and Wang Haoran had already arrived in front of the car with his men.

Ostlund can also speak Chinese.

He quickly took the initiative to greet in Chinese.

Wang Haoran greeted them with a smile, then invited them to sit down in his office upstairs.

We chatted for a while.

Osterlund mentioned their past friendship and said that they should put aside the past and move forward together.

Wang Haoran smiled and said to Ostlund: "Comrade, in fact, we have never forgotten our brotherhood!"

"For example, this time, you want to negotiate the purchase of our advanced chips and computers. We will agree to cooperate. After all, this is a business transaction that is beneficial to both parties."

"Well! If you want us to supply you, I can tell you right now: there is absolutely no problem!"

Ostlund was overjoyed when he heard this!

He originally thought that it would take some tough negotiations before he would have a chance to buy what he wanted.

Unexpectedly, the other party came straight to the point and directly stated that they were willing to sell!

"Thank you, Comrade Wang!"

"We need to buy a batch of advanced chips, both processor chips and sensor chips."

"Of course, we also need advanced personal computers."

Wang Haoran began to negotiate the purchase and sales contract with Osterlund.

Although he kept saying that he cared about brotherhood, he was very clear about the price he asked for.

The price Wang Haoran offered to Daxiong was even higher than that to Yusa.

This is because there are similar competing companies in Jusa. If they want to encroach on the market of Xifang, they need to pave the way with affordable and high-quality products.

But the situation on Big Bear's side is completely different.

Daxiong has absolutely no R&D and manufacturing capabilities for chips, and Longguo is a complete seller's market. You have no other choice but to choose the price I give you.

Even so, when Wang Haoran named the price, Osterlund was secretly happy.

Because, in his eyes, this price is so fair and affordable.

You know, in the past, similar products that Daxiong purchased through secret channels had far lower performance and quality than Longguo’s products, but the price was one or two times higher.

After the agreement was signed, Osterlund held Wang Haoran's hand tightly and said, "Comrade, thank you for your support! In the future, we should get together more and communicate more!"

"I think as long as we have a close relationship, all misunderstandings will be resolved!"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "You're right! As long as we continue to develop economic exchanges slowly, we will be able to return to normal later."

"Well! You also need to continue to be a good bridge of communication."

……

What Osterlund did not expect was that two days after the signing of the agreement, he received the first batch of deliveries, which included 10 advanced processor chips and sensor chips, as well as 10 top-configured Dragon computers, 1 printers, scanners and copier.

The cargo was flown directly back to Big Bear.

Daxiong immediately organized scientists to conduct tests.

It turned out that the quality of each chip was excellent, and its performance far exceeded that of those purchased from the underground channels of Xifang in the past!

As for those 100 computers, Longguo was considerate enough to change them to the Big Bear language display mode.

After trying it, Big Bear’s experts were all shocked.

Because this computer is so easy to use. It saves time and effort when editing documents and spreadsheets.

Moreover, you can print it out directly, and the printing effect is quite clear.

They think the most amazing thing is the scanner.

You can scan photos into your computer to form electronic photos directly by scanning.

After testing and trying the product, the experts wrote a report.

In the report, they came to a conclusion: Dragon Country's technology in the chip industry and microcomputer fields has far surpassed that of Lizard Country!
Therefore, if you want to get related products in the future, you should find ways from the East, rather than racking your brains to make money in the black market of the Lizard.

The Spring Festival is coming soon.

There was no Spring Festival Gala in 1980.

But the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival is also the strongest at this time.

People all over the country are busy celebrating the festival and performing all kinds of rituals.

This day was already the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.

This year, New Year’s Eve is on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, so there are only two or three days left until the Chinese New Year.

In the morning, Wang Haoran sat in his office, frowning as he looked at a thick stack of forms on the table.

This stack of sheets is the bonus payment sheet.

According to Wang Haoran's idea, he wanted to give bonuses to the backbone and ordinary employees of Pangu Computer Technology Company.

The amount of the bonus is not that much, the most is 1 yuan, the least is 50. I submitted the application for the bonus, but after a few days, I have not received a response.

Wang Haoran felt a little uncomfortable.

In the previous life, due to the inverted relationship between the brain and the body, the income of senior scientific researchers was drastically compressed, and they were even crushed by small business owners, which led to many scientific researchers choosing to leave when they had the opportunity to do so.

Therefore, in this life, he hopes to reform the income and benefits of scientific researchers from the beginning of reform and opening up, so that these people who have made great contributions to the country's development can at least get a decent income, which should be better than the income of small traders, right?

Therefore, he has been calling for treating scientific researchers and talents well and increasing their salaries and benefits.

However, it is not easy to reform this wage and welfare system.

There are too many issues involved and the country does not have enough revenue.

Wang Haoran now only asks his superiors to approve more flexibility in rewards and give some freedom to those enterprises and institutions with good efficiency and performance.

Wang Haoran sighed.

The New Year is almost here and the bonuses haven't been paid out yet. This is really hard to understand.

Fortunately, he did not publicize his plan to give out bonuses first.

Otherwise, he would probably be even more passive now.

"Jingle Bell--"

The phone on Wang Haoran's desk rang.

He grabbed the microphone and put it to his ear.

Wang Haoran said: "Hello!"

Guo Weiyang's voice came from the microphone: "Comrade Haoran, I'm Guo Weiyang! The higher-ups have approved your bonus distribution plan."

"But don't make a big fuss about it. It could easily lead to dissatisfaction."

"The country is still in a bit of a difficult situation right now, and there are many places where money is needed, and wages cannot be raised universally."

"However, the leadership also believes that our salary and benefits system does need to be revised, and it is expected that salary reform will be introduced next year."

"Haha! We should thank you for your suggestion too!"

Wang Haoran was overjoyed, it was finally approved!
It’s really not easy.

"Thank you leaders for your concern. I finally feel relieved!" said Wang Haoran.

Not long after I received the call from Guo Weiyang, the approval document came down.

Wang Haoran immediately announced the bonus distribution.

The entire Pangu Computer Company was filled with jubilation.

In fact, some benefits have been distributed before, mainly rice, flour, grain, oil and the like.

Pangu Company plans to take a holiday on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Of course, even during the holiday, there will be a group of people who will continue to stick to their jobs.

Wu Xiaojun never dreamed that he would receive a huge bonus just after following Wang Haoran to Pangu Company.

When he took an envelope from Wang Haoran with a smile, he pinched the thickness of the envelope and his expression changed immediately.

1 yuan, in an era when there were no 10-yuan bills, would require a thick stack of -yuan bills.

"Comrade Haoran, it's so thick? Maybe you sent it to the wrong person?" Wu Xiaojun said.

Wang Haoran smiled and put a completed form in front of him for him to sign: "Haha! That's right! You are a special contributor to the company, and you will receive a year-end bonus of 1,000 yuan!"

Wu Xiaojun's hands were shaking as he prepared to sign.

When he was working in the Finance Department of Beijing Chemical Plant No. 3, his monthly salary was less than 50 yuan, and he didn't get any bonus at the end of the year!

Wow, since following Wang Haoran, I have not only gained fame and results, but also benefits.

This bonus of one thousand yuan is more than his annual salary!
"Thank you, Comrade Haoran!"

"This, happiness comes too suddenly!"

"My wife was complaining this morning, saying that although I nominally work for a so-called high-tech company, in reality, I don't make as much as a tea egg seller! She said that tea egg sellers can make two or three hundred yuan a month."

Wu Xiaojun was so excited that he felt his throat was a little blocked.

When Wang Haoran heard him say "No one makes as much money as the guy selling tea eggs", his heart skipped a beat. He thought, it seems that the brain-body inversion has already appeared!
This situation must not continue.

Longguo must have a substantial salary increase!
Now, as many industries have begun to use assembly line production operations, the output of various industrial products has actually increased significantly.

Wang Haoran thought: Maybe, in more than a year, we can completely lift the control over prices?
By that time, there may be a major change in salary and benefits.

Of course, Wang Haoran doesn’t want there to be a large-scale wave of worker layoffs like in his previous life!

Workers, these are the foundation of the country!

Reforms are allowed, but they cannot destroy workers’ jobs on a large scale!

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Comrade Xiaojun, don't worry! High-tech talents must have a relatively high income! That's for sure!"

"It's already 1980, and our country's development is already accelerating!"

"I firmly believe that there will be a major salary reform this year!"

……

When Qiu Bojun walked into Wang Haoran's office, he was a little confused and didn't know what Wang Haoran wanted him to do.

Qiu Bojun is now nominally a student of Beijing Institute of Technology.

However, he basically doesn't attend classes anymore.

He now works almost full time at Pangu Computer Technology Company.

Of course, in his spare time, Wang Haoran also asked him to look at the textbooks and prepare for the exams.

For example, Qiu Bojun prepared intensively for the final exam of the first semester of his freshman year.

As a result, he got excellent grades in all his exams and got first place in the grade!
After the exams, it’s winter vacation and time to go home.

But Qiu Bojun was kept by Wang Haoran at Pangu Computer Technology Company to continue working.

Qiu Bojun was also very happy to be able to stay.

Because the salary he gets is not small, he can get 52 yuan per month, which is considered a high salary.

Qiu Bojun felt extremely proud when he thought that he could earn a high salary while still in college.

Qiu Bojun saved money carefully, and now he has saved about 200 yuan.

He plans to take it home and give it to his mother during the Chinese New Year. His mother will definitely praise him for his ability, right?
"Uncle Haoran, you're looking for me?" After Qiu Bojun came in, he rubbed his hands timidly.

He was a little worried that Wang Haoran would have other arrangements, such as asking him to go back to school to study something.

He felt that going to school was a waste of time for him.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Sit down!"

Qiu Bojun sat down.

Wang Haoran said, "Bojun, your growth in the past is obvious to all! You are already a very good programmer. The printer driver, copier driver, and scanner driver you wrote are all very good."

Qiu Bojun hurriedly said: "Thank you for your affirmation, uncle. I still have a lot of shortcomings. I will try my best to learn from you and improve my shortcomings."

Wang Haoran smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You are already very good! In time, you will become the number one programmer in our country."

"Bojun, it's the end of the year now. I applied for a little bonus for you. Take it."

As Wang Haoran spoke, he took out a brown paper envelope from the drawer. The envelope was very large and thick inside. One could tell at a glance that every grain of it was stuffed with ten-yuan bills.

Wang Haoran handed the envelope to Qiu Bojun.

Qiu Bojun was very frightened.

He took a look at the envelope and estimated that it was so thick, how much was it?
The most he ever got at one time was five $5 bills.

So, he had no idea how much was in the envelope.

"Uncle Haoran, you have been good enough to me. I shouldn't ask for money anymore."

Qiu Bojun waved his hands and refused subconsciously.

Wang Haoran handed the envelope to Qiu Bojun and said, "This is given to you by the country, not a personal reward from me!"

"So, you have to accept it, understand?"

Qiu Bojun felt a little dazed. He held the money in the envelope in his hand and his heart was beating wildly.

"Thank you, uncle! You have been so kind to me. My greatest luck is to meet you." Qiu Bojun said.

Wang Haoran waved his hand and said, "You're welcome! I'm also eager to find talent!"

"Well! How about this, the New Year is coming soon, wait until tomorrow, I will arrange for you to take a plane back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year. You left home last year and haven't been home for a long time."

After Wang Haoran said this, Qiu Bojun really felt a little homesick.

After all, he is just a 16-year-old boy!
"Thank you, Uncle Haoran. However, there are a lot of things to do in the company right now. Otherwise, I might not go back. I have sent almost 500 yuan to my family this year, and my family is doing well." Qiu Bojun said.

Wang Haoran said: "Sending money cannot replace going home to visit parents and enjoy the family happiness."

"Well! After the fifth day of the New Year, I'll have someone bring you back."
