Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"What about chips? What are you going to do if China really can't produce decoding chips?"

Luo Xiangyu asked again.

"If we can't produce, we can only find foreign OEMs. At that time, we will not only have to pay a higher price, but also consume US dollars. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if European and American countries see that our products are selling well and are jealous, they will directly find unfounded reasons to not allow their companies to OEM for us, then we will be finished. When we improve our own industrial chain and produce chips, VCD may have a better substitute."

Xu Huasheng sighed and said, and Luo Xiangyu looked ugly when he heard this.

"European and American countries shouldn't be like that? Aren't they the most particular about the spirit of contract?"

Luo Xiangyu couldn't help asking. Xu Huasheng laughed when he heard this.

"What's the spirit of contract? European and American countries are a bunch of bandits at heart. Now that they have money, they start to pretend to be nobles and talk about contracts and freedom. Do they really talk about the spirit of contract? They are the ones who set up the technology embargo on us, right? Think about it, when you don't have it, they sell it to you at a sky-high price or even don't sell it to you. When you have it, they immediately start dumping it at a low price, directly crushing our companies with super low prices. Their purpose is actually very simple, that is, to treat us as a dumping market and a cheap production factory. They use our materials and our people to produce products, and then sell them to us at a high price and make our money."

"What about our workers? They do the dirtiest and most tiring work and get the lowest wages. Our companies are the same, only making hard-earned money, which is actually the same as air fryer OEM."

Xu Huasheng's words made Luo Xiangyu take a deep breath. Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be the case.

"Director Luo, look at the Japanese semiconductor industry. Two years ago, five of the world's top ten semiconductor companies were from Japan. Then, the United States felt threatened and began to claim that the entry of Japanese semiconductors into the United States posed a threat to the foundation of the United States' high-tech industry and defense industry, and there would be security problems. This led to the "Japan-US Semiconductor Agreement". Even a fool can see what this agreement is about. Damn, color TVs and refrigerators threaten their national security. Sometimes the United States is too lazy to find a reason to act like a hooligan. If you threaten national security, they will directly deal with you. You can't protest at all, and they will ignore you. What fair trade, bullshit..."

Xu Huasheng was a little indignant. He remembered the frustration of the Chinese semiconductor industry when it was suppressed decades later. Xu Huasheng was full of anger. At that time, the United States also used the so-called national security reason.

"In April 1987, Reagan imposed a 100% high tariff on Japanese computers, color TVs and other high-tech products, citing Japan's dumping to third countries and the lack of expansion of the US semiconductor market share in Japan. Do you think this is the spirit of contract? And what about the Plaza Accord? Director Luo should know something about it, right?"

"Why suppress Japan? Isn't it because Japan has taken their cake and they don't want to."

"Director Luo, the decline of Japanese semiconductors has become a foregone conclusion, and the US semiconductor industry will surely rise again. Director Luo, the United States can be ruthless even to a loyal lackey like Japan, do you think they won't be ruthless to us? When VCD really makes a lot of money, they can use this reason to kill you directly."

Xu Huasheng looked at Luo Xiangyu, and Luo Xiangyu's expression became completely gloomy. He didn't dare to say that the United States would not take action against China. After Xu Huasheng's analysis, Luo Xiangyu felt that if China's semiconductor industry really rose, the United States would definitely take action.

"Xiao Xu, take your products and go to Yanjing with me."

Luo Xiangyu's expression was very solemn. This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen.

"Okay..."

Xu Huasheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Can I make a call?"

Luo Xiangyu asked, looking at the landline phone at Xu Huasheng's home.

"Of course..."

Xu Huasheng nodded, and Luo Xiangyu picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, it's me, Luo Xiangyu, you immediately book two tickets to Yanjing for me, the earliest flight..."

Luo Xiangyu made a few calls and came out.

"Xiao Xu, let's go..."

Luo Xiangyu looked at Xu Huasheng. Today, this little guy brought too much shock to him.

"Okay..."

Xu Huasheng nodded and put the VCD into a special suitcase. There is only one of this thing at present.

"Son, take this money..."

Xu Dabao came out of Li Chan's room and stuffed 20,000 yuan directly into Xu Huasheng's pocket.

Twenty thousand yuan in this era is a huge sum of money.Ah.

Xu Huasheng nodded and put the money away directly. No matter what time it is, he will not be in a hurry if he has money in his hand.

Xu Huasheng left with Luo Xiangyu carrying the VCD.

The two came to the airport and boarded a plane directly through the special channel without even looking at the ticket.

Xu Huasheng was not surprised by this situation.

When the plane landed in Yanjing, it was already night.

After getting off the plane, there was already a car waiting outside. Looking at the tall figure of the driver, Xu Huasheng knew that this driver might not be an ordinary person.

What surprised Xu Huasheng the most was that the place where Xu Huasheng stayed was actually the State Guesthouse.

"Xiao Xu, are you tired? If you are tired, take a rest. If you are not tired, come with me to see someone."

Luo Xiangyu looked at Xu Li and asked with a smile.

"Director Luo, what's tiring about this."

Xu Huasheng's words made Luo Xiangyu laugh.

"Don't call me Director Luo anymore. I think you are about the same age as my daughter. Why don't you call me Uncle Luo? It makes me look more intimate. I work in Guangdong Province. If you need help from our government, just call me directly."

Luo Xiangyu said with a smile.

"Okay, Uncle Luo, I won't be polite then."

Xu Huasheng's words made Luo Xiangyu laugh.

The two went out again. When the driver drove to a large courtyard under Xiangshan Mountain, Xu Huasheng's mood jumped.

Because he knew that the people living here were all big guys, real big guys.

"What? Are you nervous?"

Luo Xiangyu looked at Xu Huasheng who was a little nervous and asked with a smile.

"Uncle Luo, how can I not be nervous? I'm only 20 years old..."

Xu Huasheng said directly, which made Luo Xiangyu laugh.

"I thought you were Monkey King, who was fearless? You have never been nervous in front of me."

Luo Xiangyu couldn't help saying after hearing Xu Huasheng's words.

"Uncle Luo, I'm not nervous. I'm just a little scared. I'm afraid that some of my remarks will lead the country astray. After all, no one can predict what the future will be like."

Xu Huasheng said in a low voice. These words made Luo Xiangyu like the young man in front of him even more.

Talented, capable, responsible, and patriotic, such young people are the future of China.
