the world is at stake

After the coup in Pyongyang, North Korea lost a large number of scientific and technological talents.But North Korea is a closed country, but there are no convenient flights to go wherever you want.Being recruited by the 'Holy Light' and fleeing to China became the only choice.

After signing a new mutual assistance agreement with China, North Korea's nuclear weapons scientists were almost forcibly poached by China, and the remaining 'Galaxy' and 'Light Star' R&D personnel were basically cheaper than 'Holy Light'.

This group of people may not be able to keep up with the most cutting-edge knowledge system in the world, but in the extremely introverted environment of North Korea, they are all talents who have received the most rigorous knowledge training and retained.

Zhou Qingfeng laughed at this and said: "It is more sensitive to sell rockets directly, and North Korea has no relevant personnel to undertake it. But we can launch satellites for you."

Cui Yongzhu seemed to have known this beforehand, so he didn't force it, but asked in a low tone: "So far, 'Shengguang' has poached more than 2 high-level intellectuals from North Korea.

You have taken advantage of us so much, can you send us a few satellites? "

The tone seemed to be discussing, but also more like begging, or even begging.

For a moment, Cui Yongzhu looked extremely pitiful.He is like a tough man, he doesn't want to humble himself, but he has to ask for a handout in the face of reality.

People are poor and short-sighted!

Chapter 69

North Korea's economy collapsed, but it faced an extremely harsh surrounding environment.Its leadership has a strong sense of pragmatism in picking its weapons.

If there is no "Holy Light" intervention, nuclear bombs plus missiles are a very cost-effective choice.But now that China provides protection, the costly nuclear weapons have to be given up.

Precision-guided rockets and cruise missiles are also highly cost-effective and have been tested in actual combat. They are equipped with special warheads to deter Japan and South Korea.

Cui Longzhu's coming to Shen Fei was just for the sake of it. In fact, he had already decided how to spend the 500 billion RMB loan that he would receive next year, and it would not change easily.

But when Zhou Qingfeng appeared suddenly, Cui Longzhu's mind was shaken-although this president is not in tune, the 'Holy Light' behind him is showing more and more amazing.

Medicine, chemical industry, machinery, aviation, aerospace, automobile, shipbuilding, semiconductor, many industries can see the shadow of 'Holy Light'.

Even those who are involved in the "party and government" know that the "Holy Light" group is an entity that can travel with Zhou Qingfeng, and it is of great benefit to strengthen and invest in it.

As a private enterprise, 'Shengguang' can recruit people from state-owned enterprises to engage in high-tech industries, which has a great impact on society.Cui Yongzhu was very surprised when he saw the news.

Although the "Holy Light" launched not long ago was only an experimental small rocket, the load it carried was also a low-orbit small satellite.But for North Korea, this is a remarkable achievement.

Seeing Zhou Qingfeng, Cui Longzhu wanted a satellite, even a small satellite with a lifespan of only two or three years.He decided to risk his old face for nothing.

Zhou Qingfeng thought about it for a while, but happily nodded and agreed, saying that he could launch a communication satellite for North Korea.But it is impossible to give away for free, at most cost price.

Communication satellites operate in geostationary orbit, are heavy and demanding, and are not generally expensive.I really can't afford to give this thing away.

Cui Yongzhu should be very satisfied to get a satellite at a cost price, but he always feels that it is still not enough.

You must know that North Korea's launch vehicle and satellite technology has not been good. The 'Kwangmyongsong-12' that happened in 3 is still a polar-orbiting earth observation satellite, and there is still a long way to go from a communication satellite.

Possessing a communication satellite has very important political and practical significance to North Korea, Cui Yongzhu thought in his heart, and left Shen Fei with the inspection team.

In the evening, the delegation changed into casual clothes and planned to go shopping in downtown Shenyang.Zhou Qingfeng naturally accompanied him, and personally drove Cui Longzhu to the street.

But before going to the street, Lao Cui called a girl from Shenyang Medical College.

The girl was only in her early twenties, young and beautiful, she called 'Daddy' when she saw Old Cui, and she showed extremely complicated eyes when she saw Zhou Qingfeng.

Uncle Zhou was taken aback.

The girl's abdomen was slightly raised, and she was obviously pregnant, about three or four months old, and her face was vaguely that of a member of the harem group who joined the Baekwonwa State Guesthouse in Pyongyang.

Old Cui turned his head and said in a deep voice: "This is my youngest daughter, I don't expect you to treat her well, but don't bully her."

Ah... is this your daughter?

Father-in-law, come as soon as you see it, why did you do this to me?How embarrassing it is for me.

Speaking of the coup, you were also the minister of the Ministry of National Security. When did you send your daughter to me?I fell asleep so preoccupied that I didn't remember to ask about my family background.

As a result... it affects the relationship between our son-in-law and Weng.

"Are you Jin Ji?" Zhou Qingfeng, a scumbag, fortunately had a good memory, and finally remembered Huanxi and asked the other party's name.

The young girl stood between her father and the man, looked around, nodded to Zhou Qingfeng and said, "It's me."

Oops, how embarrassing.

Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head, "Old Cui, ah no...father-in-law, why don't you give me a [-]% discount on that communication satellite?"

Communication satellites are really expensive, the cheap ones cost hundreds of millions of RMB, and the expensive ones cost more than a billion yuan.

Old Cui glanced at the scumbag Zhou, and said indifferently: "The North Korean girls who came to China with you are basically the daughters of senior government officials, and many of them are pregnant.

Most of their parents have returned to their original positions and even been promoted.They are currently placed by you in various places in the Northeast, and my daughter has entered medical school for further study. "

Zhou Qingfeng became even more embarrassed. He bowed his head and said, "Okay, the communication satellite is free. I will witness the friendship between China and North Korea at my own expense."

Old Cui still didn't change his expression, he just said 'hmm', finally satisfied.

The young girl took a few glances carefully, walked up to Zhou Qingfeng obediently, took the man's arm, and let him touch her belly, smiling sweetly.

Thinking about how his daughter got pregnant after sleeping with him, Zhou Qingfeng felt relieved and laughed.Taking advantage of Lao Cui getting into the car, he asked in a low voice, "Why did you run to my side?"

The young girl lowered her head and said weakly: "When the coup d'etat happened, my father also had to hide. He said that the family wanted to spread the risk and secretly sent me to the State Guesthouse. When I arrived at the State Guesthouse, you..."

The coup took only twelve hours, and the follow-up process only took a few days, but the turbulent waves that were set off at that time were enough to make anyone in it feel helpless and fearful.

The woman took the initiative to snuggle into Zhou Qingfeng's arms, seeking comfort.Men and women hug each other and talk.

Cui Yongzhu sat in the back seat of the car, glanced out through the window glass, and sighed a long time.His accompanying adjutant sat beside him as if he hadn't seen anything, staring straight ahead.

After making out for a while, Zhou Qingfeng wanted to go shopping. He called seven or eight 'Santanas' and took the entire North Korean inspection team straight to the East Asia Plaza near the Shenyang Imperial Palace.

East Asia Plaza has a unique glass skylight structure, with a wide interior space and excellent views.Especially the 150-meter inner boulevard is very modern.

Zhou Qingfeng felt that this place was okay.Cui Yongzhu and the others were dumbfounded. Although they tried not to lose their composure, they exclaimed bursts of surprise when they whispered to each other.

The president is happy today, he has given away communication satellites worth hundreds of millions, and with a big wave of his hand, he said to the North Korean inspection team that he can shop with confidence today, and all purchases within 1 RMB per person will be reimbursed by 'Shengguang'.

The dozen or so members of the inspection team all stared at Cui Yongzhu with bright eyes.Although they can be regarded as high-level North Koreans, their daily life is not well-off.

Old Cui didn't say anything, just walked away a little bit.

Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand to let the members of the regiment act independently, while he ran to wait on his father-in-law.

Cui Yongzhu has seen a lot of private life of the rich and powerful in North Korea, and he is not surprised when his daughter follows Zhou Qingfeng, and has no intention of putting on airs at all.When he came to the shopping mall, he simply strolled around, walking casually like a middle-aged man.

"Your 'Holy Light' has a specialty store here." Cui Longzhu came across a shop with an area of ​​over [-] square meters and walked in.

Zhou Qingfeng looked up, saw the logo of his own group, and followed in.

Going in is the home appliance area, crowded with people.Cui Yongzhu stood on the outside and took a look. There were refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines and the like.He asked, "Does 'Shengguang' make home appliances?"

"We found a factory to manufacture according to European and American standards." Zhou Qingfeng replied, "There are many power plants in the southeast coast, but they have no brand, and they can only produce low-end products to compete on price.

A Japanese color TV costs tens of thousands of yuan, while domestic ones can only be sold for four to five thousand yuan. What 'Holy Light' has to do is to sell the quality of tens of thousands of yuan at a price of four or five thousand yuan. "

There was a time when home appliances were 'core technology' for China.Compressors for refrigerators and air conditioners, glass tubes for color TVs, and LCD screens for monitors cannot be made in China.

When 'Sacred Light' appeared, they played with the marketing methods of 'Xiaomi' in the past, striving to achieve high quality and low price, willing to spend money to build a brand image, and occasionally engage in hunger sales.

Cui Yongzhu couldn't squeeze into the counter of large appliances. When he walked to the counter of small appliances, he found that even the electric kettle was designed extremely delicately. The color and shape had a sense of fashion. After buying it, it could be used as a decoration at home.

"How did 'Holy Light' get involved in so many industries?" Choi Yong-soo asked, "It's not an easy thing."

"If I say it's too superficial to rely on spending money, in fact, relying on the country is big enough." Zhou Qingfeng explained, "We can produce millions of production volumes for any product or style.

'Holy Light' will inspect the qualifications of the supplier when ordering. Once we ensure that the supplier has the strength to supply the goods with quality and quantity, we will provide enough advance payment to let it arrange production.

Because we give money happily and the order is stable, suppliers will try their best to meet our requirements.Outsiders see that "Holy Light" seems to sell everything, but the workload of "Holy Light" is not as large as imagined.

But in the final analysis, 'Holy Light' faces a sufficiently strong consumer market.The country is big enough, as long as the product is good enough, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it. "

As soon as Cui Yongzhu lowered his head, there were more than a dozen types of electric kettles in front of the small appliance counter.If the output of each model is 500 million, these electric kettles alone have an annual output of nearly [-] million.

Enough to divide more than 2000 million North Koreans into three or four.

This is just an electric kettle.

Looking at the dazzling array of products in the specialty store, one can imagine how big the production capacity is behind it?What kind of huge industrial chain is needed to provide raw materials, logistics and transportation, and supply electricity to these home appliances.

"Can we also be suppliers for 'Holy Light'?" Cui Yongzhu couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about the huge consumer market controlled by 'Holy Light'.

"Of course you can, but you must accept the 'Holy Light' supply chain assessment." Zhou Qingfeng glanced down at the electric kettle on the counter, "But given the current situation in North Korea, I'm afraid even the electric kettle can't be made well."

Cui Yongzhu looked at the humble electric kettle again, feeling very unconvinced, and thought to himself: "This thing is not difficult. Although North Korea is backward, it is not impossible to produce electric kettles."

But Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "Moulds, materials, accessories, yield rate, the production of any industrial product is very difficult if it is in the order of millions. It is not easy to inject the plastic shell of the electric kettle. Neither can North Korea."

but……

"North Korea really wants to do something, and there are still things that can be made. For example, pots and pans, furniture and wooden utensils, knives, shovels, spoons and forks." Zhou Qingfeng burst out a series of commodities, seeing Cui Longzhu's expression collapsed.

I am dignified and magnificent, a great country protected by the theme of thought, you let me do such a substandard job?It's too contemptuous of people.

Although we are the weakest in Northeast Asia.But in another place, in Southeast Asia, in South America, in Africa, you can definitely go sideways.

But Zhou Qingfeng continued: "Don't look down on the business I'm talking about. A set of German Zwilling knives costs several thousand yuan a set. Imported bone china tableware ranges from a few hundred to tens of thousands.

In addition, if you can produce some luxury goods, such as handmade leather goods and the like.A satchel costs 10 RMB, and a woven bag can sell for thousands of dollars.There are still fools who are willing to pay the IQ tax. "

Cui Yongzhu's eyes lit up again when he heard that a leather bag cost 10 RMB.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't care and poured cold water on his father-in-law, "But the matter of this brand is really troublesome. It is not easy to collect the IQ tax of rich fools.

I actually want to ask, is it possible for Er Fatty to endorse our group's products?The cost is favorable.Hey, don't change your face so quickly.

I'm just a proposal, a proposal.If you don't agree, you can refuse.

Please, for your grandson's sake, don't be angry!

I am your son-in-law, son-in-law! "

Chapter 70 The Industry of the Holy Light

Zhou Qingfeng, a fool, teased Er Fatty in front of the vice chairman of the military committee.Cui Yongzhu turned his face on the spot, bared his teeth and wanted to beat him up.

'The fool' yelled a few times, and in the blink of an eye, he slipped away among the dense crowd in the shopping mall, as fast as a shadow.

Cui Yongzhu froze for a moment, cursed and let it go.When he turned around and saw his daughter, he quickly calmed down, and said in a low voice, "Jin Ji, you don't blame Dad, do you?"

The daughter shook her head and said calmly: "Fortunately, it's better than I imagined. Actually, I've always wanted to live in a different environment, and I'm quite satisfied to be able to come to China.

I had a good time in Shenyang, which is far more prosperous than Pyongyang.Zhou Qingfeng gave me 2 yuan in pocket money every month, and my studies and life went smoothly.

I try to save the money as much as I can, and plan to buy some things to send back.I will return to Pyongyang when I finish my medical school and will definitely serve my country. "

Although I heard what my daughter said was good, I still felt that I was in debt as a father.Cui Longzhu sent his daughter to the State Guesthouse in the hope of avoiding misfortune, but Zhou Qingfeng did it.

When it's done, it's too late to regret.

Both father and daughter understood that, given the chaotic environment during the coup, the Baihuayuan State Guesthouse was the only calm eye in the typhoon.Being able to develop a relationship with Zhou Qingfeng and even conceive a child is a blessing in misfortune.

"Father, don't be too sad. I remember you taught me that politicians have no ethics. In fact, I am quite satisfied with Zhou Qingfeng. He is a man who can dominate the situation. The only shortcoming is that he cannot belong to me alone."

The daughter smiled, not caring that she became a 'political bargaining chip', which made the father even more heartbroken.

Not long after, Zhou Qingfeng ran back with two ice creams, trying to please his pregnant woman.Cui Yongzhu sighed next to him, and could only continue to visit the store of 'Holy Light'.

At the beginning of 2000, it was the upsurge of home appliance sales in China. 'Shengguang' used strict quality control and efficient logistics to reduce costs.It is substantially expanding its production capacity, knocking out a large number of home appliance manufacturers at home and abroad.

Imported goods can still be supported by brand names, while domestic products have to continue to cut prices until they become unprofitable until they withdraw from the market, at most until they are transformed into suppliers of "Shengguang" contemporary factories.

Cui Yongzhu didn't feel much about home appliances. After all, North Korea's power supply is seriously insufficient, and even Pyongyang has power cuts every three days.He is a high-ranking official, and he has everything he should have. At most, he thinks that the exterior design of 'Holy Light' is relatively novel.

Mobile phones are sold next to the counters of major appliances.There are more than 20 types of mobile phones with different prices for consumers to choose from candy bars, sliders, and clamshells.

"'Holy Light' can actually produce mobile phones?" Cui Yongzhu asked in surprise.If major appliances are still within his acceptable range, mobile phones are really high-end products.

Zhou Qingfeng grabbed an ice cream and followed him, and said dissatisfied: "We have the best design, and the production capacity of home appliances is sufficient, but the production capacity of chips is still very low."

'Sacred Light' has only two wafer production lines in Ganzhou, and only one 130nm advanced process. The monthly production capacity of 6-inch wafers is only [-] yuan, which is not enough.

In contrast, Japan, South Korea and even Taiwan have a production capacity of millions of pieces, which is two orders of magnitude more than that of 'Holy Light'.

"We are desperately building factories, and currently plan to build two or three production lines in Nanchang, Chengdu, Xi'an, Wuhan, Hefei, Changchun and other places.

However, foreign countries have imposed a strict blockade on our semiconductor industry, and all cutting-edge equipment and raw materials are banned from sale.Forced us to develop our own. "

Behind Zhou Qingfeng's words is the desperate competition of several time-traveling forces.Everyone is fighting patent lawsuits, building trade barriers, and announcing what advanced technologies they have developed.

If 'Holy Light' chooses to buy chips, even the 'Brotherhood' is willing to openly sell them.Everyone knows that technology is iterating rapidly, and if you don’t sell it now, you won’t be able to sell it in the future.

But if you want to buy equipment for chip production, those bastards will try their best to get stuck.

To join the WTO, China promised to open its markets. 'Holy Light' is limited by its production capacity, so it can only import chips from the West, and then produce finished products for sale in domestic and foreign markets.

"In another two years, we will be able to build our own independent production line of 130 nanometers, but foreign countries should rapidly progress to 90 or even 65 nanometers.

Our foundation is still too thin, lacking semiconductor talents, and lagging behind in the speed of application technology.This is a real headache. "Zhou Qingfeng could only shake his head when he called for help.
