Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 230 The Shock of Daily Life (Subscription Request)

"Leader, here are several invitations to contribute, both domestic and foreign."

"Deputy Director Chai and I have already discussed with other electronics factories the electronic components needed for the production task and all the parts of the personal computer. However, we have to produce the integrated chips ourselves."

“There is also a holiday before the New Year”

After hearing this, Zhou Fengnian interrupted and said, "You and Deputy Director Chai can decide on this. If there is no standard, learn from other factories."

Zhou Fengnian then threw the invitations from abroad aside, looked at the ones from China, and said, "Reply to the Academy of Sciences. I will write an article when I have time. I don't have much time recently.

By the way, have our factory's wages and benefits been prepared?"

"Director, we have already provided you with your benefits."

Zhou Fengnian interrupted and said, "Who asked me? I'm asking all the workers."

"We have also prepared the workers' food. The ministry has allocated a lot of supplies, so each person can take home one pound of meat and ten pounds of flour, which is enough to make dumplings for the whole family."

Pan Heng quickly said that fortunately their factory had few people and the allocated materials were sufficient to distribute.

One pound of meat and ten pounds of flour, it's already very impressive to tell others about it.

They cannot be compared with large welfare factories like machine tool factories. Not only do they rank first in the country in terms of output value, they also have two side businesses of their own, Shenzhou sedans and washing machines.

Every year, the workers in the machine tool factories are always gloating, and the workers in other factories envy them every year, but apart from envy, they can only stare blankly.

Their factory does not have that kind of foundation. Zhou Fengnian has been in the machine tool factory for several years and has laid a solid foundation for the factory.

I heard that after the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory paid its bills to the ministry this year, the factory still had nearly 10 million left, which makes it extremely rich.

In comparison, the electronic computer factory is not doing well. It has few employees and no side businesses, and all funds and materials rely on grants from above.

Things cannot be changed within two or three years, so even if Zhou Fengnian wants to seek benefits for the factory workers, he cannot do it.

Zhou Fengnian will only consider these things after the next generation of supercomputers is developed and the domestic computer level is greatly improved compared with that of foreign countries.

In fact, while manufacturing personal computers, they could have also manufactured color televisions.

It’s just that we are short of manpower now because there are still too few skilled technical workers.

Once multiple projects are carried out simultaneously, their manpower is somewhat stretched.

However, most of the research and development was done by Zhou Fengnian alone, so other people in the technical department were able to recover a little; if they really devoted themselves fully to research and development, the production tasks would be affected.

The production task of the supercomputer will not be scheduled until the end of next year, and Zhou Fengnian will not be able to gather all the technical personnel until at least the year after next. Before that, he can only try to solve as many hardware problems as possible.

Seeing that Pan Heng had finished his report but was still standing there without moving, Zhou Fengnian couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"

Pan Heng hesitated for a moment, but still said, "No, it's the invitation from a foreign country, which was sent by the leader of the department."

"Which leader?"

"It's the one with the surname Wang."

"Oh, I don't have time. If you can't do it, please send him my schedule and tell him that he can help me with the above matters. Then I can make time to reply to the manuscript."

Zhou Fengnian thought for a while and said that the man surnamed Wang was the one who asked the newspaper to do something to him last time.

It was already a good thing that Zhou Fengnian didn't fall out with this kind of person, but it was absolutely impossible to expect him to care about this guy named Wang.

Time passed quickly and the computer factory became like an ant nest running non-stop. Everyone was busy inside and outside and finally the first batch of 150 personal computers were manufactured during the Chinese New Year.

For such a large order, it is impossible to produce all of them before shipping, so they are manufactured in batches.

After receiving the news, the people at Xiaorizi quickly arranged for receiving personnel. Soon, they received the batch of personal computers at the port and then quickly shipped them to Fujitsu.

The leader of the current computer industry is Fujitsu. This time, it was Amei who entrusted them to buy some personal computers from China in the name of Fujitsu.

They originally just wanted to buy a portion and bring it back for research.

But I didn't expect China to be so smart. The starting price was 2,000 units, and the price was not cheap, at 1,500 US dollars per unit.

Considering the performance and functions of the computers they visited, $1,500 is not expensive; if they had such a computer, it would sell for at least $1,800 in Ame's market.

But they just want to study and don't want to buy on a large scale.

However, Huaxia insisted that it would not sell at least 2,000 units. Finally, due to pressure from Amy, Fujitsu had no choice but to take the loss and directly purchased 2,000 computers.

When people from other countries saw that Xiaori, a high-tech country, bought 2,000 units, they also became generous and several countries pooled together to buy 900 units.

I can go back and replace them with a new batch of people for the government departments, and take a photo to publicize: "They have entered the era of high-tech public affairs."

When Fujitsu brought the personal computer back and took it apart for research, the shock grew.

China, which seemed extremely backward to them and even had to purchase its chemical fiber technology from them, actually manufactured large-scale integrated chips.

The photolithography technology is no worse than theirs, and is even stronger. At least they cannot produce such large-scale integrated chips, and they can install them so cleverly on a processor.

They just have this idea, but the big country across the sea has already realized and created it.

The more they studied it, the more surprised they were by the technology used in this personal computer, especially the operating system and programs, which shocked people who lived a simple life.

It is difficult for them to understand. Although they know the functions of the operating system and the improved performance, they have no idea how it is compiled.

Even if they want to study and master these technologies, it may take them two to three years.

After studying for a long time, Fujitsu's technicians finally summarized a report; that is, China's computing level is very high, and the levels of photolithography and integrated circuit technology are also very high.

If they want to build their own supercomputers and large-scale integrated computers as soon as possible to compete with Ame's computer companies, they must seek help from China.

Originally, they wanted to buy China's supercomputers to conduct their own research, but China's harsh conditions directly dispelled their thoughts.

You spend several times the price to buy a supercomputer, but in the end you cannot decide when, how and how long to use it.

It is such a shame to build a special confidential computer room and hand over the key to someone else for management.

However, this summary proposed by the technical staff made Fujitsu's top management feel troubled again.

At that time, Ami's computers occupied more than half of the market, and there were many Ami computers even in their own country.

Fujitsu's technicians concluded that Ami's computers were 100% inferior to China's personal computers. Once they knew this, they would definitely block the export of Chinese computers, so if they wanted to cooperate, they should do it as soon as possible.

In other words, China does not have any global companies, and it is still a bit closed at this time.

Otherwise, with the performance and operation of this personal computer, it will definitely beat Ami's computers in the world market.

By the time Amei realized the situation and blocked it, there was no chance for cooperation anymore.

Before Amei can react, knock the matter to the ground. By the time they react, there will be no chance.
