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

Chapter 199 The East Wind is Overcoming the West Wind [Request for Full Order]

According to Yusa, the Big Bear has never produced any industrial products that are useful to the Lizards.

From the beginning to the end, the only things that the big bear could provide to the lizards were various mineral resources.

This is why the Big Bear is called a power built on oil barrels. There are still many people shopping in the mall at night.

However, there were obviously fewer people in the Xifang electronic products exhibition area tonight.

Many people were wandering around the exhibition area of ​​various electronic products of Longguo.

Now, all the household appliances that Xifang can produce can also be produced in Longguo, and the ones made in Longguo are better looking and have better functions.

Most importantly, they are also much cheaper.

At the beginning, the people of Daxiong were very prejudiced against these products made in Longguo.

They believe that the Dragon people cannot produce anything good.

Because, historically, Big Bear had assisted Longguo with many industrial projects.

That period of history actually happened not too long ago, only about twenty years or so.

Most of the Big Bear people who once participated in the assistance are still alive today!

In their memory, Longguo was poor and had almost no industry.

Now things are good, Longguo has actually started producing high-tech home appliances.

This must not be true!
Their products must be inferior.

Longguo's products did not gain much trust at the beginning.

However, Longguo's manufacturers offered better service conditions and launched a three-guarantee service, which made some big bears start to buy Longguo's products and give them a try.

After trying it, they immediately found that Longguo’s products were really easy to use.

They are even much better than similar products from lizard countries.

This is what we call good quality and low price!

As a result, Longguo’s electrical appliances began to sell well in Daxiong.

Moreover, the demand is already in short supply.

In particular, Longguo's personal computers are the only computer products that the Big Bear people can choose.

Now, it is the end of 1981.

The performance of Dragon Country's Pangu computers has become increasingly outstanding, far surpassing Lizard Country's electronic computer products.

After the people in Daxiong used the Pangu computer, they were absolutely amazed.

To the extent that Pangu Computer has now begun implementing restricted pre-orders on Daxiong.

That is, big bears who want to buy computers need to pay the full amount to make a reservation first.

Only after placing an order can you receive the goods at least one month later.

That's really tight.

Osterlund and his wife strolled into the Longguo products section.

There, there was an exhibition of digital cameras and digital video cameras made in Longguo.

These cameras and camcorders are very unique.

They don't even require the use of film. After taking photos and videos with them, they can be directly input into the Pangu computer, and the videos can also be played directly in a video projector with a digital jack.

This is really amazing for the big bear people.

Zhou Aijun is a salesperson assigned by Pangu Technology to Moscow.

Of course, he is actually quite knowledgeable about technology.

Tonight, he appeared at the state-owned mall in Moscow to promote digital cameras and digital video cameras produced by Pangu Technology.

In fact, in addition to these products, Pangu Technology also hopes to win orders for all the equipment needed to upgrade the major TV towers in Daxiong.

Zhou Aijun worked hard to demonstrate the various advantages of Pangu digital camera products on site.

He saw more and more people gathering around him.

There were actually as many as two or three hundred people.

The booths were all a bit crowded.

Zhou Aijun was very happy in his heart.

He was also very emotional.

Zhou Aijun is 47 years old this year.

He was someone who had witnessed the Big Bear’s assistance to the Dragon Kingdom.

At that time, the big bear was omnipotent and extremely powerful in the eyes of all the Dragon people.

All of Daxiong's products are very popular in the market of Longguo.

This included their bulky and difficult-to-use camera equipment.

Things are good now. Pangu Technology and many companies from Dragon Country have begun to enter the market of Bear Country.

And, it is so popular.

This really makes people feel proud.

"Comrades, please don't crowd, everyone can have the opportunity to experience our products."

"Please maintain order at the scene."

Zhou Aijun shouted at the top of his lungs.

The situation at the scene, which was about to get out of control, was finally calmed down.

"Comrade, I want to know how much one of your digital cameras costs?" asked a bearded man wearing a baseball cap.

Zhou Aijun responded with a smile: "Our digital cameras are divided into three models, the cheapest one is 3 rubles each."

Nowadays, Big Bear’s salary is still very low.

The average salary is only around 170 rubles.

Of course, the purchasing power of the ruble is still quite amazing.

As long as Big Bear and CMEA can produce it, it is not expensive.

However, the products imported from Xifang are much more expensive.

The lowest price of Pangu Technology's digital camera is 758 rubles, which is already a very high price, but compared with Xifang, it is much more normal.

Because Xifang’s most advanced products are never sold to Daxiong.

Even if it is not advanced, as long as Big Bear cannot produce it, its price basically starts at 10 times that of Lizard.

Ordinary people simply can't afford Big Bear.

Only state departments can buy it with public money.

This is the lizard harvesting the big bear.

For products that cannot be produced domestically, Xifang always prices them as high as possible.

After Zhou Aijun's price was announced, all the Big Bear people at the scene cheered.

“It’s not expensive!”

"Oh my God! Such a good product is only 758 rubles?"

"As expected of our brothers, Longguo is very kind to us!"

"Brother, we have given you a lot of assistance before. Now, shouldn't you also help us? Please teach us how to produce this advanced stuff."

The big bear man next to him was talking in gibberish.

Zhou Aijun's Russian is quite good.

He thought to himself, are Daxiong’s salaries already so high?
They actually think that 758 rubles is not a high price? Isn't it incredible?

"Comrades, this one, which costs 758 rubles, is just our entry-level product."

"We also have two more advanced and more practical products, priced at 979 rubles and 1180 rubles respectively."

Zhou Aijun continued to introduce loudly.

"Comrade, I want to ask you, can I get the spot goods?"

A woman asked loudly, her wallet already in her hand.

Zhou Aijun smiled and replied: "We do have stock, but it's very limited. There are only 5 units in total. Once they're sold out, we can only pre-order them."

After he said this, the people watching were a little shocked.

Many people took action, waving their money, and began to buy.

Ostlund, who was standing by, was a little stunned.

He never imagined that Dragon Country products would be so popular in Big Bear Country.

Isn't this incredible?

Moreover, wages in the country of Big Bear are very low. Even Emperor Xun himself only earns a few hundred rubles.

For example, Osterlund's salary is higher because of the overseas posting subsidy.

But he only gets more than 600 rubles a month.

According to the current Big Bear regulations, the exchange rate between the ruble and the US dollar is exactly the same.

However, it is not recognized internationally today.

On the black market, the exchange rate has now reached at least 3 rubles to 1 US dollar.

"Honey, let's hurry up and move on. Otherwise, we won't be able to buy it." Osterlund's wife was a little anxious.

Ostlund was a little hesitant: "Dear, maybe we don't need this advanced digital camera now."

"It doesn't do anything for us. So, I think, maybe we shouldn't buy it."

The wife shook her head and said, "Honey, how can you say that?"

"If you can hold a Pangu digital camera when you travel, it will be so prestigious. Others will envy you."

"You don't want us to be looked down upon by others, do you?"

Ostlund was a little helpless.

Nowadays, among the high-ranking officials in Big Bear, the trend of comparing and extravagance is very popular.

"Well, then, let's wait in line and see if we can get one," said Osterlund.

Osterlund was at the back of the queue. When it was their turn, the staff smiled and said, "Comrade, I'm sorry, but we only have a few 758-ruble machines left. Do you need any?"

Ostlund thought, it wouldn't be a big deal to buy a cheaper one, right?

He was about to nod and say "no problem" when his wife said anxiously, "Oh! God! Is there no more expensive one?"

"Honey, we don't have to buy the most expensive ones," Ostlund said.

His wife shook her head and said, "No, no! Honey, if we don't buy the most expensive one, then we will definitely be laughed at."

"So if we buy, we have to buy the most expensive one."

"Only in this way can we have more face..."

Ostlund was a little speechless. "Now that the most expensive model is no longer available, what should I do?"

His wife said, "Then wait."

"We will buy more when there is new stock."

"Besides, we can pay to make a reservation."

Ostlund shook his head and said, "Well, since you said so, let's do as you say."

Osterlund felt as if he was caught in a huge whirlpool.

He couldn't help himself.

Just like that, he took out almost all the money he had on him and paid the reserved fee.

At this time, most people in the mall had left.

The mall is about to close.

Zhou Aijun has been paying attention to the movements of Osterlund and his wife.

Because he recognized that the other party was the consul in Longguo.

Zhou Aijun has been notified, and he will find an opportunity to give Emperor Xun a Pangu digital camera.

The purpose is simple, which is to urge Emperor Xun to quickly make up his mind to restore his relationship with Long.

Of course Wang Haoran didn't intend to save the bear.

That doesn't do a dragon any good.

However, it is good for the dragon to let the bear survive for a few more years in a half-dead state.

"Comrade, we actually have one of the best digital cameras here, which was originally kept as a sample."

"If you want, I can give it to you directly." Zhou Aijun said to Osterlund.

Ostlund's wife was surprised and delighted: "Ah?! Really? That's great."

Ostlund was a little wary: "Oh, comrade, do you know me?"

Zhou Aijun nodded, smiled and said, "Yes, I know you."

"You are the Great Bear's consul to the Dragon Kingdom."

"You've always been very nice to us."

"I admire you very much."

Ostlund was moved.

He didn't expect that the people of Long country had such a high opinion of him.

"Thank you. I will continue to work hard to normalize our relationship," Osterlund said.

Zhou Aijun gave Osterlund a state-of-the-art digital camera.

After Osterlund received it, Zhou Aijun explained to him the advantages of this digital camera: it has larger memory, greater focusing magnification, and the photos taken are clearer.

Osterlund and his wife came out of the mall with the camera.

At this time, it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening.

Big Bear requires us to go to bed at 11 o'clock at night.

It's almost like a curfew.

Ostlund and his wife drove home.

After returning home, my wife fiddled with the new camera for a while.

“It’s really advanced!”

"It's much better than the Foot Basin, Hans, and Jusa products."

The woman said.

She asked her husband to take many photos of her.

Her family already had a Pangu computer produced by Longguo, and even a printer.

She immediately tried to copy the photos to her computer.

She succeeded.

Then she typed out the photo.

She looked at the photo that had just been promised, and it was in full color.

The colors are very good.

The photo is very clear.

"My God! The pictures it takes are so much better than those taken with film cameras. They are so beautiful!"

Osterlund was thinking about how to report his work to Emperor Xun after meeting him.

He absentmindedly addressed his wife and looked at the printout of her photo.

“It’s really good,” Ostlund said.

His wife said happily: "Such a good thing, I think we should let Emperor Xun see it."

"He must not have seen such advanced high-tech products before."

"You have to be prepared for that," Ostlund said.

"Your treasure will be taken away by Emperor Xun."

His wife said, "That's nothing, right?"

"After all, Emperor Xun thinks highly of you."

"I think maybe you have a chance to go up a little further."

Ostlund certainly wanted to continue moving up.

However, even if he had the idea before, he didn't dare to do it.

Because he can't compare with those other competitors at all.

But now, the situation is really different.

Many celebrities have now been banished to the cold palace.

As a close confidant, Osterlund has the opportunity to move up.

Emperor Xun is old.

His health is getting worse and worse.

Many people said that Emperor Xun might not have many years left to live.

The more Ostlund thought about it, the more his heart beat.

"Then I will take this camera with me to see Emperor Xun tomorrow."

Ostlund said with a yawn.

The next day, Osterlund rushed to Emperor Xun's office at the agreed time.

Of course, he had to show up outside the office early and wait quietly in line.

After all, many important officials want to meet Emperor Xun every day.

Emperor Xun is also very busy.

On this day, Osterlund was scheduled to meet the last person in the morning.

This is actually a particularly important performance for Ostlund.

The person in front of Osterlund finally came out of Emperor Xun's office.

Emperor Xun got up and went out for the first time.

He saw Ostlund and said, "Oh! I was just looking to see if you were coming over!"

"You do it."

Ostlund walked in, camera in hand.

"What is that thing in your hand?" Emperor Xun asked with some curiosity.

Osterlund smiled and said, "This is a new high-tech product from Dragon Country, called a digital camera."

"It no longer requires film, but uses electronic technology to shoot directly, and the photos taken can be stored in the computer and printed out using a printer."

Emperor Xun said with great interest: "Show it to me, I want to see how it works."

"As you wish," said Ostlund.

Ostlund took several photos of Emperor Xun and let him preview them directly on the camera screen.

After Emperor Xun saw it, he exclaimed that it was unbelievable.

"Oh my god! This is too magical."

"Osterlund, is it true that Lizard Square currently does not have a similar product?"

Ostlund nodded and said, "Yes, this is a unique creation of the Dragon Kingdom."

“It’s very useful and it reminds me of many uses.”

Emperor Xun looked at the digital camera in his hand over and over again, his brows furrowed: "It's so frustrating."

“Why can’t our scientists develop such a product?”

"We are obviously much more advanced than them."

"But I feel like they have caught up with us."

“They surpass us in many ways.”

"Well! It's a little comforting that their military technology is still relatively backward."

Osterlund sighed and said, "Dear leader, if I were to say that they are actually catching up quickly in the field of military technology, would you believe it?"

Emperor Xun was stunned: "Ah?! Is it true?"

"However, even if they have built a third-generation fighter, they should still be far behind us in the aviation industry, right?"

Osterlund shook his head and said, "Based on the information we have now, I must say that they are already very strong in the third-generation fighter jets."

"They have built a third-generation fighter that is even more powerful than our Su-27!"

Emperor Xun's brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Let's talk about the monkey..."

Ostlund recounted his efforts.

Of course, Emperor Xun himself knew how miserable Monkey was now.

Emperor Xun wanted to stand up from the sofa, but he couldn't stand up by himself because he was holding the armrest of the sofa.

This is mainly because Emperor Xun is a little old.

Osterlund hurried over to help him, and Emperor Xun finally stood up.
