Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 306: The idea of ​​a deadly life (please subscribe)

"Old Gu, what's going on? Is it related to Xiao Rizi's supercomputer?"

After returning to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, Zhou Fengnian went to Gu Wenjie's office first.

"You're finally back. I haven't seen you for days. I called you yesterday, but you didn't take it seriously."

After Gu Wenjie finished speaking, he found a meeting record and handed it to Zhou Fengnian, and then continued: "That was three days ago. It is said that it will be sold to them next month. They said that the performance of the Feiniao supercomputer exceeds that of our Shenzhou Son by more than 30%.
Many people criticized you for suggesting that you make a mistake by selling supercomputers. "

"Oh, you're starting to criticize me?"

Zhou Fengnian was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he took Gu Wenjie's meeting minutes with a smile and started reading them.

Zhou Fengnian did not attend any of the recent meetings. He just listened to Gu Wenjie's comments on anything that was not important.

Gu Wenjie shook his head and said, "What does this group of people have to do with them? When the days of poverty catch up with them, they are the first to get anxious."

"Who's catching up?"

Zhou Fengnian looked up and asked, "Old Gu, they are outsiders and don't know anything, but the Shenzhou Computer Factory is part of the Fourth Machine Department. How come you are confused?

What we sold at the beginning were second-generation machines. So what if they developed a better supercomputer than the second-generation machine? They can’t even catch up with our third-generation machine.”

"Besides, our Shenzhou Son fourth-generation aircraft has been successfully developed. I just went to see it, and its performance is more than thirteen times that of the third-generation aircraft."

Gu Wenjie was stunned when he heard this, and asked quickly: "How much? How much do you think the performance of the fourth-generation aircraft is compared to the third-generation aircraft?"

"Thirteen times, the number of operations has exceeded one trillion, definitely the best in the world, the king among supercomputers."

Zhou Fengnian paused for a moment after he finished speaking, and then added: "It was also built yesterday and tested today. I personally worked on it. I just came back from the Shenzhou Computer Factory."

"Great! Oh, I am old and confused. How could I have forgotten that we were selling a second-generation machine? I am so old!"

Gu Wenjie patted his forehead and said that after handing over the affairs of the Shenzhou Computer Factory to Zhou Fengnian, he rarely paid attention to it; usually he would at most ask Zhou Fengnian about the development of the factory.

Due to the change in the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar, the annual output value of the Shenzhou Computer Factory has increased from 750 million to 2.1 billion, and may increase to 2.6 billion this year.

It is definitely the best high-tech factory in Asia.

Gu Wenjie rarely cared about technical issues, so this was overlooked.

"If I had thought of this during the previous meeting, I would have slammed the table and scolded them for being ignorant; they have been catching up with the level we were at a few years ago after all this hard work, what's the big deal?"

"I remember that Japan invested hundreds of billions of yen in supercomputer research, and the Japanese government invested tens of billions, and the rest was invested by several companies.

They are hoping to make back their profits from the Feynig supercomputer. I guess they are planning to sell supercomputers to the global market next.”

After Zhou Fengnian had an idea in his mind, he smiled and said, supercomputers have many uses, many countries need them, but not many countries can develop, research and manufacture them.

At present, there are no more than seven countries that have supercomputers. However, there may be more than twenty countries that need supercomputers. This thing has many uses and can be used many times.

If you want a supercomputer, you can only buy it from these seven countries.

The Russians are excluded first. Although they started developing supercomputers early, their progress is average and they are now basically at the bottom of the third tier.

Huaxia is in the first tier, and Xiaorizi and Amei are in the second tier.

But now Xiaorizi is full of confidence and plans to break into the first tier with the help of their Feiniao supercomputer.

"Old Gu, let's start selling the third-generation Shenzhouzi aircraft. The performance of the fourth-generation aircraft is too strong and can meet all the needs at this stage. The third-generation aircraft can be sold to the outside world."

Before Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, Gu Wenjie frowned slightly and said, "Wait a minute, why do your words sound so familiar?

Didn’t you say the same thing when you were selling the second-generation machine, saying that the third-generation machine can meet all current needs? "

"Well, that's not important. What's important is that we have to destroy Xiao Rizi's research and development capabilities and efforts. They invested hundreds of billions of yen just to develop their own supercomputers. Now they must want to sell this flying bird to other countries."

Zhou Fengnian waved his hand and said: “We have to grab this business, so that Xiao Rizi can spend a lot of effort to develop it, but can’t sell it.

I'm going to make it so that their useless supercomputers can't even be sold in their own country."

The performance is 30% higher than the second generation? Even if it is tripled, it won’t work!

In front of the third-generation machine, it is just a garbage computer that is beaten.

Moreover, Zhou Fengnian did not underestimate Amei. Although there was not much news about Amei's supercomputer research and development, the progress should be faster than usual.

Maybe they are planning something big!

Zhou Fengnian plans to reap the rewards first with the third-generation machine, so that even if Amei produces a supercomputer that is better than the third-generation machine, it will be difficult to sell it.

After all, the market is so small, they can't just buy one and then spend a lot of money to replace it with a new one for a little performance difference.

Where did the money come from? Who gave it to them?
"Don't tell me, your idea is really feasible."

After listening to what Zhou Fengnian said, Gu Wenjie nodded in agreement; the main reason was that they had the better Shenzhou fourth-generation aircraft, so the slightly inferior third-generation aircraft could be sold.

You can make some money back, earn a lot of money, and also dispose of the replaced third-generation machines.

The manufacturing level of the fourth-generation aircraft must also be considered. It is impossible to equip all places with fourth-generation aircraft.

Universities and ordinary research institutes can just share a supercomputer center. It would be a waste to equip them with fourth-generation machines now.

It costs several million to build a fourth-generation aircraft, and it also consumes electricity, which is almost equivalent to supporting a small factory.

"I agree with this, but I still need to talk to Comrade Yifeng and Sun Gongran about it."

Gu Wenjie said that once it is approved, it will be the opinion of all members of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, and the leaders will definitely refer to it.

However, the conflict between Gu Wenjie and Sun Gongran remained unresolved, and they were unwilling to even call each other comrades in private.

But this matter still needs to be communicated. If it is discussed, the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building will be able to obtain at least hundreds of millions of financial surpluses, which can be used to do many things.

The export of high-tech is more aggressive than robbing money. You can’t rob so much, but a supercomputer can be sold at such a high price.

The export price of a supercomputer that costs 6 million RMB can be negotiated to more than 10 million US dollars.

The price has increased dozens of times!
Gu Wenjie quickly asked his secretary to call the two over. When Luo Yifeng and Sun Gongran arrived and saw Zhou Fengnian in the office, they knew that they were going to have another meeting.

After asking about the situation, the two agreed without hesitation. Gu Wenjie would write the documents and they would just sign them. Sun Gongran kept complaining in his heart. They had discussed it before calling him here. What was the point of his objection?

Although there is really no need to oppose this matter, there will always be things to oppose in the future!

Zhou Fengnian mentioned in passing the change in housing allocation policy at Shenzhou Computer Factory from five years to three years.

The factory now has a lot of financial power and autonomy, but large expenses still need to be reported to the ministry.

Building tube-shaped buildings is a huge expense, and the Shenzhou Computer Factory was really bold in providing welfare benefits, which made the China Machine Tool Factory a little envious. At the unanimous request of the workers in the factory, it also began to build tube-shaped buildings as welfare benefits.

However, the housing benefits of the Hua Xia Machine Tool Factory cannot catch up with those of the Shenzhou Computer Factory, and the tube-shaped buildings they built are considered good if they can give half of them to the workers in the factory.

After Zhou Fengnian left, no one could announce as firmly as he did that the tube-shaped buildings would only be allocated to the workers and technicians in the factory, and even the cadres would not be able to get housing.

Moreover, the Hua Xia Machine Tool Factory only built three tube-shaped buildings in the first phase, while the Shenzhou Computer Factory built five buildings. Three years later, it will increase the number of buildings to six seven-story tube-shaped buildings.

This welfare is really the best in the country. Many departments in Beijing were dissatisfied with it. They thought that the Shenzhou Computer Factory treated the workers so well, which made them seem a bit incompetent, so they even reported it to their leaders.

In the end, the leader said: "If you have the ability, you can also seek benefits for the workers. As long as you can help workers and farmers develop, everyone will be rewarded and not blamed."

------

The Fourth Machine Department's request for the fourth-generation aircraft and the rewards for selling the third-generation aircraft soon appeared in front of the leaders.

The leader laughed after seeing it. Last time, he thought that those people who said Zhou Fengnian was causing trouble for no reason. After seeing it this time, he became more convinced of this idea.

"Alas, some comrades, it's only been a short while since we started developing, but they've already started to have other ideas. It would be great if there were more scientists like Comrade Fengnian."

In just one year, Zhou Fengnian injected a large amount of life-saving medicine into the country's deficit economy. The computers developed by him firmly established themselves as the world's number one and also helped the research of many national defense projects.

If there were more people like Zhou Fengnian, they would be able to truly compete with the Russians now.

Several other scientists are also shining in their respective fields, bringing dignity and strong national strength to China.

Development still depends on advanced technology. Isn't it because they have endless scientific research results that Ami is so powerful?

After seeing that the fourth-generation aircraft was more powerful than the third-generation aircraft, the leader became more determined in this idea.

He also agreed to the plan of selling third-generation aircraft.

It will not affect the leakage of technology, but can also increase foreign exchange earnings and undermine the independent scientific research capabilities of Xiaori. It is simply killing three birds with one stone.

There's no reason to disagree!

After he finished his approval, he asked other colleagues to review it. After it was circulated once, he asked the Ministry of Foreign Trade to negotiate with the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

After this matter was reported to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, the Ministry of Foreign Trade also happened to hear about it, so they asked Deputy Director Bai to speak out as well.

The person who came to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building to find Zhou Fengnian was Bai Kang. After his outstanding performance at the No. 1 Electrical Appliance Factory, he was transferred to the Foreign Trade Department. He has made a lot of achievements in the past few years and was promoted to his current position.

He can continue to be promoted. As long as he accumulates a certain level of merit, it is not impossible for him to get the position of deputy of the Foreign Trade Department in the future.

咚咚
After Wang Mingjie knocked on the door and came in, he said to Zhou Fengnian, "Leader, Deputy Director Bai Kang of the Foreign Trade Department is here."

Zhou Fengnian looked up and said, "Is he here? Let him in quickly."

When Wang Mingjie brought people in, Zhou Fengnian had already stood up to make tea; he would do it himself for those who had a good relationship with him, and they all drank specially supplied good tea.

This kind of tea is produced in dozens of kilograms every year, and not much is distributed among the people. Zhou Fengnian produces eight taels, and he still produces the most in the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

"A good year."

Bai Kang came in and greeted them with a smile. Their two families were relatives and had known each other for more than ten years, so their relationship was already special.

"Brother Bai is here, try my good tea."

Zhou Fengnian brought the tea and said with a smile, "I don't have much left. This year's portion will be gone after a few more drinks."

Next year he will have to drink other people's tea first, and then drink his own after he has finished their tea.

Bai Kang took a look and said, "My uncle also treasures this tea very much. I only drank it once this year, haha."

“This is the second time, then.”

After a while of chatting, Zhou Fengnian asked, "Brother Bai, what are the rules of the Foreign Trade Department?"

"It's still the same as before, but there's one thing. The Little Bird supercomputer will be on display and available for sale in five days, and our consul there has also been invited."

Bai Kang shook his head and said, "The Japanese are really wolves from Zhongshan. They become rampant when they succeed. If we give them a little success, they will be eager to ride on our heads immediately."

"Then let them disrupt it. Start with a small day. Your people will follow the consul on this day. Then, whoever wants to buy the FeiNiao supercomputer will be given a Shenzhou Son third-generation machine."

After hearing this, Zhou Fengnian suddenly had this idea and said to Bai Kang: "I hope that none of their 'Waste Bird' supercomputers can be sold!"

"This is a good year. This is a bit embarrassing. On the day of their exhibition and sales meeting?"

Bai Kang secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead after hearing this. Although he was also unhappy with the Japanese, he decided to give them a hard blow when they were most confident. Whoever they approached might be assassinated?
"They are afraid of power but not virtue. We need to teach them a lesson so that they will have the idea that 'China cannot be surpassed' and 'China's computers will never be surpassed'.

Otherwise, these wolf cubs will bite us sooner or later. Brother Bai, don’t you think it’s interesting to let the little ones fall to the ground when they are at their most proud?

Zhou Fengnian kept talking with a smile on his face, then he noticed that Bai Kang's face looked a little strange, so he asked

"Brother Bai, are you worried that those little devils will attack you?"

"A little, but not to that extent. I'm just afraid that the local consul will scold me. After all, you know."

Bai Kang shook his head and said that they had only established diplomatic relations for ten years, and if they were attacked because of this incident, it would be a greater blow to their daily life.

They are a 'big exporting country', and if their reputation is damaged, the losses will be beyond imagination. Besides, what's the point of attacking someone from the Ministry of Foreign Trade?

Zhou Fengnian said: "I really hope you can do this. As for diplomatic relations, when we become stronger, Xiaozi will crawl in front of us like a dog and talk about friendship.

That’s the kind of race they are.”
