Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 149 Earning Foreign Exchange (Subscription Request)
"What the hell, I used all my car technology to get two big firecrackers?"

When Yang Ning learned about the deal with Big Brother, he felt his heart bleeding.

Although we can understand the above transaction, after all, if we want to develop missile technology, we must have a template for reference!

But Yang Ning always felt that he was at a loss. Not to mention anything else, the CVT technology alone was more than ten years ahead of the world, not to mention the turbocharging technology of the "Jinggangshan" automobile engine, which was at least 20 years ahead of the world.

It is not known how much money Big Brother spent to introduce automobile technology from Italy's Fiat company more than a decade later, but it is definitely much more valuable than the R1R2 missile technology.

After all, R1 is just a missile technology from Hans during World War II, and R2 is just an amplification and improvement of R1's technology.

Not to mention more than a decade later, even now, these two missiles with a range of only a few hundred kilometers have begun to become outdated. After all, Big Brother's first intercontinental missile R7 is about to be released.

Now we are using automobile technology that is more advanced than Fiat's more than ten years ago, but we only got two big firecrackers in return. No matter how you look at it, we are at a big loss.

"Alas! There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the research and development of missile technology cannot be delayed. According to the current research progress of atomic bombs, it will take at most two years for us to conduct test explosions. By then, without missiles, we will not pose much of a threat to others."

Dean Guo sighed helplessly. It was obvious that he was also angered by Big Brother's greedy face this time.

After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. Looking at the tea leaves in the teacup, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's not talk about Big Brother's troubles. Do you have extra tea? If so, give it to me and I'll take it away later."

"No, I think you wouldn't do that, would you?" Yang Ning said with a smile when he saw Dean Guo eating and taking things.

"Why not?" Dean Guo rolled his eyes at Yang Ning and said, "You have tea sent to you by research institutes from all over the country. Of course, you don't know how hard we have been working during this period."

"In view of the success of the last Canton Fair, the higher-ups decided to make further efforts and hold a spring Canton Fair. In order to earn as much foreign exchange as possible, the higher-ups decided to reduce the tea supply to us by half."

"Starting from this month, I'm afraid I'll have to use big leaves for the rest of the month."

"I still have some here. I'll fill it up for you when I leave." Yang Ning said quickly after hearing Dean Guo's complaint.

"Are we in such a difficult situation now?" he then asked again in confusion.

Logically speaking, our current situation is much better than in history, and we are still a few years away from the difficult period. Why are the leaders now starting to tighten their belts?

"Why isn't it difficult?" Dean Guo looked at Yang Ning speechlessly and said, "Don't you know how many large-scale projects we have launched in the past two years?"

"Although our current situation is indeed much better than before, we still need to increase investment in various aspects to catch up with other countries. We can't let some projects stop due to funding problems, right?"

Yang Ning felt that Dean Guo was saying this on purpose for him to hear.

"No, Dean Guo, you don't want me to find a solution, do you?"

Yang Ning looked at Dean Guo who was still pretending to be innocent and almost laughed out of anger.

Only then did he realize why Dean Guo revealed the deal between us and Big Brother to him right after he arrived. He then started complaining again. It seemed like he was treating him as a wishing machine.

Before, when we felt that we were short of talent, we called him over to ask him to find a solution. This time, we were short of money, so we still wanted him to give us some advice. Yang Ning just wanted to say to him, "President Guo, please be a human being and let my baby, who is over 200 months old, go!"

"How about it, can you think of a solution?" Dean Guo was not embarrassed at all when his thoughts were revealed by Yang Ning. Instead, he looked at Yang Ning expectantly and asked.

"Everyone knows now that if you want to make a lot of money by exporting industrial products, you are the best in the country."

"Take the industrial products we export now, which one has nothing to do with you?"

After hearing his words, Yang Ning thought about it carefully and found that it was true. In addition to traditional light industrial products such as tobacco and alcohol, whether it was the "Chitu" electric car or the export of cheap fertilizers and chemical products, they all seemed to have some relationship with him. Even the car that caused a sensation abroad was designed by him.

"Which products are popular abroad now? And they must be produced by us and cannot be copied by foreign countries?"

Looking at Dean Guo's eyes, Yang Ning started to think.

Given the current external environment, it is really difficult for us to earn foreign exchange!
The West has adopted a policy of boycott and blockade against us, and all our products find it difficult to enter their domestic markets.

Moreover, we do not recognize their technological patents, and they also do not recognize ours. For example, some technologies on the "Jinggangshan" car have not yet been exported from here, but technologies like seat belts have already been used by their own car companies, and some companies have even applied for patents for them.

Only a product that is not so easy to imitate and that no one can live without can solve our urgent problem this time.

After all, the launch of the atomic bomb research project requires the construction of several large power plants, and the cost is absolutely astronomical for us today.

Then we can only consider the pharmaceutical industry, and the usage and profit of this drug must be large.

Suddenly, Yang Ning suddenly thought of the little blue pill that became popular all over the world and was known as the gospel of men all over the world.

It is said that Pfizer earns hundreds of billions of dollars in sales every year from this drug. Every man in the future will be familiar with this drug.

Taking into account currency depreciation and market factors, we don't need much. One hundred million US dollars in sales per year will definitely be able to solve our current predicament.

At that time, we just need to add some ingredients that do not affect the effect and then package it, and we will definitely be able to earn a lot of foreign exchange.

"I'm sorry, Eagle Sauce, but we're in trouble now. Your family is big and powerful, so you shouldn't mind if I give you a hand, right?"

However, this product alone can only solve the immediate problem. If we want to continue to earn foreign exchange to support our construction, we also need to establish a professional trade and production system.

This requires us to have our own agents in the Western world. If any new technology comes out in the future, we can immediately let the agents apply for technical patents there.

Otherwise, no matter how many new technologies we have, they will only benefit Western companies in the end.

Thinking of this, Yang Ning suddenly looked up at Dean Guo.

"Well, do you have any ideas?"

When Dean Guo saw Yang Ning's expression, he guessed that this guy had found another way to earn foreign exchange.
