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

The young worker shook his head and said, "The pressure is not that great. My monthly income can reach 300 to yuan, and sometimes it can exceed yuan. A mobile phone is only yuan."

“It’s pretty easy, I should say.”

Joey asked again: "So, how much is your monthly living expenses?"

The young worker said: "We have food subsidies. We can eat very well in the company cafeteria for only 50 cents a meal. Forty or fifty yuan a month is enough for food. As for accommodation, the company has dormitories, which are free, but we need to pay for water and electricity, which is only a few yuan a month."

Joey was shocked: "How can you spend so little money on a meal?"

“Can you eat meat every day?”

The young worker smiled and said, "We have meat and fruit for every meal."

"Where are you?"

“How much do you spend on food every month?”

Joey felt sour at the moment.

Because he was also doing some calculation in his mind.

His family spends more than two hundred dollars on food every week. Of course, this is the expense for the whole family, so the monthly food expenses are at least seven or eight hundred dollars.

And eating is just a small expense in Judaism.

The bulk of the cost is spent on various service fees.

The property fees and property taxes paid every year are several thousand dollars.

By this calculation, it seems that the US dollar is not more valuable than the RMB.

Because if you eat out, even if you have a hamburger meal, it will cost at least two or three US dollars.

If you want to eat Chinese food, it will be more expensive.

Therefore, the food expenditure of Jusa is several times higher than that of Longguo.

Joey thought, it seems that the lives of ordinary people in Dragon Country have really gotten better.

The Jews had no advantage in this respect.

In addition, the cost of mobile phone access and use is much cheaper than paging charges in Judaism.

Now the monthly fee for domestic paging in Jusa is 50 US dollars!

The price is really not cheap.

Of course, as the main provider of paging services, Motorola is making huge profits even in Jusa.

Capitalists never do charity. When they do, it's just a show to deceive people.

Joey said to the young worker, "Oh, just like you guys."

"However, our ordinary people now earn much more than you do. The lowest-level workers can earn more than a thousand dollars a month."

"If calculated according to the exchange rate, it is equivalent to 2,000 to 3,000 RMB of yours."

This was all Joey could say to save a little face.

But he obviously lied.

The bottom-level workers in Jusa only earn about seven or eight hundred dollars a month.

Of course, the lower-level workers eat and use relatively cheap food and products. Compared with elites like Joey, the money they spend on food is even more than $100 a month, which is enough for the whole family to eat and drink well.

The young worker gave a thumbs up and said, "After all, you are the most developed country in the world. It is normal to have this level."

"I heard you don't have your own mobile phone service yet, is that true?"

Joey blushed.

He thought to himself, this is really a case of bringing up something that is not relevant.

"Soon," said Joey.

The young worker smiled and said, "I know you want to buy our Pangu Technology's products and services."

"Haha! Although your country is great, many of your products are actually not as advanced as our Dragon Country."

"I believe it won't be long before we can surpass you in all aspects!"

The young worker seemed very proud and confident.

Joey wanted to argue.

However, he thought again that there was no point in arguing with a lower-class citizen of Dragon Country.

"I hope that day will come." said Joey.

Joey also wants to buy a Longguo mobile phone and sign up for network subscription. He wants to see what the real situation is like.

Therefore, he wanted to ask the young worker to help him get network service for a mobile phone.

But the young worker disagreed, saying that this was also considered queue-jumping.

Moreover, it should be quite complicated for foreigners to apply for mobile phone services in Longguo.

Joey had no choice but to give up his idea.

He thought, maybe, I can try the mobile phone of the guy named Li Xiang later, at most I can just give him a few dollars!

With this idea in mind, Joey accompanied Li Xiang all the way to the counter in line.

As soon as it was Li Xiang's turn, the staff of the Post Office called out to the people behind him: "There are no mobile phones today, so the people behind you can no longer handle business. Please understand and go home."

The people who had been waiting in line for a long time suddenly started to complain. But they had no choice but to leave.

Joey tried to strike up a conversation with the staff member.

Joey learned from the staff that nearly a thousand people successfully apply for mobile phone services every day in the Pangu Technology Industrial Park. There are still many people waiting in line.

"The young people here are quite wealthy, and many of them use mobile phones. It is estimated that this industrial park alone will be able to handle at least 100,000 new mobile communication users."

"Nationwide, since its launch, the number of mobile communications users has exceeded one million."

The staff member introduced.

Joey was shocked because Longguo’s mobile communications business had only been in operation for two or three days.

Is this over a million?
This shows that this country is really starting to get rich.

You know, Motorola currently has less than 10 million paging users in Jusa.

Because the price of Jusa paging is also very expensive now.

It is said that the highest price can reach thousands of dollars. It is still a bit difficult for ordinary Jews to use that thing.

Li Xiang finally got his mobile phone network service.

His mobile phone was a small candy-bar phone with a blue screen and the pinyin of Longguo on the keys.

Of course, those pinyin can also be used as English subtitles.

"Congratulations, Li, you have also become a valued mobile phone user." Joey said to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang smiled and nodded and said, "Thank you!"

"I also hope that mobile phone services can be introduced into your country as soon as possible."

"I am leaving now, bye!"

Li Xiang is leaving.

Joey then made his request: "Lee, can I try your mobile phone?"

"I can pay you, how about a dollar a minute?"

Li Xiang waved his hand and said, "No need for that. If I charge you for using our phone, then China is not a country of etiquette."

"You use it."

Li Xiang handed the mobile phone he had just obtained to Joey with a little pain.

It cost ten cents a minute, and ten cents now can buy five steamed buns.

Joey could naturally see that the other party was just pretending to be generous.

He took out a $10 bill from his wallet and handed it to Li Xiang, saying, "This is 10 US dollars, equivalent to 20 RMB. You can keep it as a souvenir."

Li Xiang waved his hand and said, "This is a bit too much."

“I’m not a greedy person.”

Joey stuffed it into the other person's hand without saying anything, and said, "Here, buddy, this is just a souvenir, you can keep it for fun."

Only then did Li Xiang accept it.

Joey held Li Xiang's phone in his hand and looked at it over and over again for a long time.

He also asked Li Xiang, and after obtaining his consent, he took the phone apart and examined it carefully.

Li Xiang frowned beside him.

The other party is using his mobile phone to conduct research.

He thought of spies.

However, Li Xiang thought again: When the company was doing the warning education, it made it very clear that the products produced are not only to be sold domestically, but also to overseas.

Therefore, we are not afraid of foreigners studying our products.

Comrade Wang Haoran also said with a smile that even if foreigners do research, they won't be able to come up with anything meaningful.

The high-tech products made in our Dragon Country cannot be made in the Lizard Country now.

So, it’s no big deal for this foreigner to take apart the phone and take a look, right?
Joey himself is not a technical person.

But he knows a little bit of technology.

He took the phone apart just to see the internal structure, especially the circuit board.

When he saw it, he was surprised.

Because the circuit board of this phone is really too delicate. There are many chips on it, and it looks very sophisticated.

This thing is not something that any company can make.

Moreover, the battery in this phone is also very advanced.

The battery is a very small piece and I don't know what material it is made of.

God! Could their batteries be the legendary lithium batteries?
Joey was getting more and more shocked.

"Can you please hurry up? I may have to go back to the factory to work overtime." Li Xiang watched Joey tear his phone apart, and he was a little worried that it would be broken in the end. Joey smiled and said, "Okay, okay!"

"Then I'll pack it up and make two phone calls to try it out."

"Don't worry, Li. It won't be damaged if you take it apart like this."

Joey reassembled the phone.

After assembly, the phone is restored to its original state.

Joey thought about it and called his friend who worked at the Consulate in Jerusalem.

The call came through quickly.

This friend was a military attaché and happened to be in the office.

When the call was connected, Joey found that the call quality was quite good!

During the call, there was no noise, the sound was very stable, and the signal was very strong.

It looks no different from a landline phone.

Joey's inner shock grew stronger.

He called a businessman friend in Shanghai, but long-distance calls were quite expensive.

But there is still no problem with call quality.

In other words, the mobile communication network built by Longguo is quite powerful, and calls are absolutely guaranteed.

Joey thought that this kind of mobile communication technology was far superior to Motorola's analog mobile communications.

The key point is that the other party's price is really affordable...

You can buy a mobile phone for 300 yuan. It costs 3 cent per minute to make or receive calls. Long-distance calls cost 3 cents per minute, and roaming calls cost cents per minute.

This is cheaper than the monthly fee for Motorola's pagers in Jusa...

Therefore, if Jusa can build such a mobile communication network, it will definitely make a lot of money.

Even if the monthly fee is $100 or even more, it is estimated that many elites will choose to use this service.

It’s such a pity that such a good technology was developed by the Chinese.

“Are you done with the experience?”

"Now, can you give my cell phone back to me?" Li Xiang, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say.

"Oh, thank you, Li. Here's your phone. It's back to you." Joey finally came to his senses and quickly returned the phone to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang took the phone and looked at it carefully before nodding to Joey and saying, "Goodbye, Joey. I wish you a wonderful experience in Dragon Country."

On this day, many foreigners in Beijing were also trying to get mobile phone services.

They were keenly aware of the outbreak of Dragon Country in this area.

They were surprised to find that Longguo was ahead of the world in mobile communication services.

Third world countries are not so bad.

The people who find it most difficult to accept are actually the people in western countries like Judea.

They have always felt superior in Dragon Country.

But now, their sense of superiority is becoming less and less.

This giant Eastern dragon, which lagged behind for many years, is now becoming more and more developed and prosperous.

Tall buildings are rising from the ground.

Wide roads are being built in all directions.

In many industrial fields, Longguo is making strong efforts.

The Lizardmen were panicked to discover that the high-tech products they were so proud of were gradually losing their luster in the Dragon Kingdom.

Only a few years have passed!
Big Bear's Consul Petrov also took to the streets in person that day.

He also wanted to see if he could get a mobile phone.

If it is really useful, then this business must be implemented in Daxiong as soon as possible.

Petrov and his two followers arrived near Wangfujing in a Lada sedan.

This is a traditional business district.

Every day there are crowds of people here and it is very lively.

When Petrov got out of the car, he happened to see a Longguo man walking and making a call on a mobile phone.

Apparently, in the big cities of Dragon Country today, a mobile phone is a symbol of status.

When the man was walking and talking on the phone, many people looked at him.

This also made the man's voice louder when he was on the phone.

Petrov looked at the other person approaching him.

The two people's eyes met for a moment.

Petrov nodded with a smile and said, "Comrade, you look very handsome when you make phone calls."

The man paused.

He said, "Phone calls are expensive. I met a friend here. Let's meet and talk."

The man hung up the phone.

Then he smiled and nodded to Petrov, saying, "Lada is the cheapest car, right?"

"You just called me comrade, so you are from the Big Bear? Ha! And you are from the consulate."

Petrov was a little embarrassed.

This guy seems to look down on the cars produced by Big Bear.

"Yes, I am Consul Big Bear, my name is Petrov."

"Comrade, what's your name?"

The man said: "My name is Li Weigang, hello, Comrade Petrov!"

Li Weigang shook hands with Petrov.

Petrov started a conversation with the other party: "Comrade Li, what do you do for a living?"

Li Weigang said proudly: "I'm in the sea."

“I used to work in a company, but I earned too little.”

"I'm doing some international trade now, mainly selling goods from Dragon Country to you Big Bear."

"By the way, your place is really a desert of electronic products."

"Our electronic watches, calculators, and digital cameras, which are not very valuable, can be sold at a good price as long as they cross the border river and reach your side."

“To be honest, it made me a lot of money.”

"I also have a sedan, a Corolla with a foot basin, which has much better performance than Lada."

This man was full of pride in front of Petrov.

Petrov could only smile helplessly and asked, "Is your mobile phone working properly?"

Li Weigang nodded repeatedly: "It's definitely useful!"

“Carry it with you and keep in touch with your business partners at any time.”

“No more worrying about missing out on business opportunities.”

"Just now, I was walking and a friend from the Great Bear Country wanted to buy the latest Pangu laptop from me. We have almost finished our discussion on the phone."

"I have to say that Wang Haoran is a really amazing person. The new gadgets he invented shocked foreigners when they used them."

Petrov said: "But, there are normal foreign trade channels between the two countries now, right? Who exactly needs to buy products from you?"

Li Weigang chuckled and said, "You import too little. Your domestic demand is huge, so public-to-public trade cannot satisfy it at all."

"Then we can only rely on small private foreign traders to fill the demand."

"Comrade Petrov, compared to us, you have fallen behind in many aspects. You must catch up."

Petrov rubbed his nose. These words made him feel very uncomfortable.

"We admit that we are lagging behind, so we are now trying to learn from you."

"Comrade Li, are your mobile phone services now available to foreigners?"

Li Weigang nodded and said, "It should be. You can just take your passport and apply for it."

"This thing is really useful. I think it will be quickly popularized around the world in the future and greatly improve the efficiency and speed of communication between people."

“I suggest you also start building a mobile communications network as soon as possible, so that everyone can communicate through mobile phones in the future.”

"Why don't you try my phone and see if you like it."

That's exactly what Petrov meant.

He hurriedly thanked him, then took the mobile phone that Li Weigang handed over and began to explore and try it.

He had actually tried it before.

But that is an experimental mobile communication network, which is definitely different from actual application.

After Petrov obtained Li Weigang's consent, he called his friend far away in Moscow.

He was amazed by the quality of the call.

Li Weigang was also very proud, and he also wanted to make friends with Petrov.

He enthusiastically helped Petrov to go to the nearby post and telecommunications office to apply for mobile phone service.

This man obviously had some connections, and he actually helped Petrov get a mobile phone.

After Petrov got the phone, he conducted more detailed tests.

The test results made Petrov very satisfied.

So he called Osterlund, hoping that Osterlund would take the lead and build the mobile communication network as soon as possible. (End of this chapter)
