Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

After Zhou Weimin left, Sun Zhengguo immediately called the General Office, found Director Yu, and told him about the current predicament.

"Comrade Zhengguo! Since you called me, you must have some ideas. Tell me in detail. As long as we can help, we will definitely not stand idly by."

"I've been waiting for you to say this, Director Yu. Our North and South branches are planning to purchase several color TV production lines. We hope that the higher authorities will support us."

Upon hearing Sun Zhengguo's request, Director Yu on the other end of the phone couldn't help but take a breath.

He had some knowledge about color TV production lines. A large one could cost five or six million US dollars, and even a smaller one would cost two or three million US dollars.

And from Sun Zhengguo's tone just now, the North and South branches are planning to purchase several lines. So how many lines are they planning to purchase?

Just thinking about Director Yu gives me a headache.

But no matter how much of a headache it is, he can't just ignore it, because matters involving the research institute are top priority.

"Comrade Zhengguo, can you tell me specifically how many production lines are needed?"

"Director Yu, I don't want to embarrass you, so let me give you eight or ten first, and I'll make do with them."

"How many?"

If Director Yu had not been sitting in his seat, he would have been frightened and his voice would have instantly increased by several decibels.

Sun Zhengguo's ears were buzzing.

"Speak more quietly, Director Yu, can you please be calmer? I don't want so much at once, but I want to increase it gradually."

"Then you are asking for too much!"

"Not much, not much." Sun Zhengguo then began to analyze the reasons.

It turned out that his purpose of having so many production lines was not just to produce game consoles, but to prepare to enter the TV industry.

With the coming of reform and opening up, domestic electronic products can no longer meet the needs of the Chinese people.

Therefore, Sun Zhengguo prepared to plan a new way out for the institute's branch, namely product diversification.

Because this is the only way to go further.

The branch factory can now produce washing machines. If televisions are added, refrigerators, air conditioners and other products will gradually be added in the future. Eventually, cars, mobile phones and chips will certainly also be available.

Sun Zhengguo’s goal is very simple, which is to build the branch factory into a hexagonal warrior.

After all, the path of his family in this life has been determined, and going into business is definitely impossible, so there is no need to hold back.

Although his idea was good, Director Yu did not agree on the spot. Instead, he prepared to hold a meeting to study it and then give him a reply.

"Okay, thank you Director Yu for your support. I'm waiting for your reply."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Zhengguo took some drawings and went downstairs to the laboratory.

At this time, the laboratory was still so lively, and many technicians were busy playing games.

After a period of careful polishing by Zhao Weiping, the tank battle game has been completed and is now being tested.

"Director, you are here."

"Engineer Zhao, these drawings and materials record Pac-Man's ideas. Once the tank battle test is completed, we can start the new project."

"Okay, Director."

Zhao Weiping took the information and started looking through it. Sun Zhengguo didn't disturb him and started playing games.

A technician was very observant and immediately made room for the boss, then ran to the Great Wall block.

Seeing that there was no one over there, Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but shook his head.

Ever since the two-player version of Tank Wars came out, the Great Wall Block has become the cow lady. Unless there is no choice, no one will play it.

At the same time, this also indirectly shows that Tank War must not be launched on the market before the value of the Great Wall Block has been fully squeezed out.

Just when Sun Zhengguo was having a great time playing the game, the General Office held an emergency meeting.

At the meeting, when Director Yu mentioned the institute's requirements, all the standing committee members looked unhappy.

"Director Yu, did you hear me wrong? Ten color TV production lines would cost at least 30 million US dollars, and those are small production lines. If it is a large production line, the cost would be doubled."

The person who raised this question was a deputy director named Qin.

Deputy Director Qin previously worked in the Import and Export Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce, so he knows the prices of these import and export commodities very well.

The reason why he was transferred to the General Office was to coordinate with the research institute to facilitate the import and export of its products.

Therefore, what he says has absolute authority.

"Deputy Director Qin, I'm sure I'm right, but Comrade Zhengguo didn't say that we need so much at once, but rather that we need to increase it gradually."

Next, Director Yu explained the reasons in detail, as well as the institute’s future strategic plans.

After hearing this, the faces of the Standing Committee members present relaxed a little.

Out of trust in Sun Zhengguo, Deputy Director Qin did not object and expressed his position immediately.

"Okay then! I agree in principle. Fortunately, the initial requirements are not high. If there are results, no one will have any objections to buying it."

"I agree."

"agree."

……

Seeing the Standing Committee members raising their hands one by one, Director Yu nodded with satisfaction.

But at this time another member of the Standing Committee raised an opinion.

"Director Yu, although we have unanimously approved it, we cannot approve the use of such a large amount of funds without the approval of our superiors."

“So how much funding can we approve?”

When Director Yu said this, he looked at another deputy director.

Because this deputy director is responsible for connecting with the finance department and knows how to use funds reasonably.

"No more than 20 million US dollars." The deputy director blurted out without even thinking.

"Twenty million?"

Director Yu silently calculated that this money could buy two large and two small color TV production lines. It should be enough for the time being, right?

"Then there is no need to alert our superiors about this matter. I will ask the institute to file a report and help them through this difficult time. I believe our superiors will understand."

Seeing that Director Yu had set the tone, the other Standing Committee members didn't want to say more for fear of offending anyone, and just carried out the order.

It would be nonsense to say there is no risk at all.

If something goes wrong in this matter, Director Yu will be the first person to suffer.

After the meeting, Director Yu returned to his office and immediately called the research institute to inform Sun Zhengguo of the results of the meeting and asked him to write a report and submit it as soon as possible.

"Really? Thank you, Director Yu. I will arrange for my secretary to write a report right away."

"Ok!"

Director Yu hesitated for a moment and decided to give a reminder.

"Comrade Zhengguo, although the General Office has agreed to this funding this time, I am also under tremendous pressure. I hope you will use it with caution and use it where it matters most."

"Please rest assured, Director Yu. I can guarantee that every expenditure will be used clearly and will also create greater profits."

"Okay, I believe you."

After the two hung up the phone, Sun Zhengguo immediately called Chen Zhonghua and asked him to write an application report immediately and try to submit it today.

Chen Zhonghua was also very attentive and finished writing the application report around 3 pm.

After reading it, Sun Zhengguo thought there was no problem and quickly sent someone to deliver it to the General Office.
