Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 268: Vote with your feet, still million short

On November 3, 1962, The New York Times first used the term 'personal computer'.

In the history of the original time and space, on April 360, , IBM spent billion US dollars to launch the world's first third-generation integrated circuit computer S- system, which achieved for the first time a million instructions per second and a single operating system. This system was also used in the Apollo moon landing program.

The S/360 system quickly brought IBM into a new business area, namely mainframe-centered. Mainframe products became IBM's gold mine. Therefore, IBM relied on this system to rank first and maintain a monopoly position among large computer manufacturers.

These are things that happened in the original time and space, but in today's time and space, things seem to have changed.

While Zhao Mancang was still chatting about personal computers with the leaders of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street in his office in Lingjing Hutong, Robot Computer Company held its first unconventional press conference in the lobby of its headquarters office building in Los Angeles.

The person in charge, Jonas Wood, stood at the press conference and announced the first generation of robot computers in the presence of media reporters and some colleagues.

"Our company was the first in the world to launch a personal computer. We developed desktop analog and mouse-driven graphical user interface technology, which was a great technological breakthrough for all mankind."

"We used Fairchild Semiconductor's lithography machine to develop a 7781 chip. The ROM control memory supports writing expansion. The main memory has a storage word length of 16 bits and a storage capacity of 128KB (expandable to 512KB). In addition, we have a removable, 2.5MB single-disc audio tape cartridge as auxiliary storage hard drive."

"Next, we will move on to the system software section, which is the most critical focus of our press conference. We, Robot Computer Company, provide users with a computer system that is very suitable for personal use, namely our Robot Operating System."

It is now January 19, 1964, not yet 1973 in the original time and space. In other words, at this time many people do not fully understand the basic elements of computers.

Presentation tools such as windowing interfaces, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, computer mice, word processing, dynamic file linking, version control, and real-time collaborative editors are not available today.

But after today, the first generation of robotic computers will be showing these demonstration tools.

The world's first commercial personal computer announced by the Robot Company is priced at US$999, which is not very expensive, but definitely not cheap.

Founded in April 1961, Robot Computer Company has already released several calculators. Now it has released its first computer, which can be regarded as a good reputation for the company.

But the shock Jonas Wood brought to the world was more than that, because he also announced an Apple system. A large integrated circuit computer equipped with such a system can perform 1.2 million instruction operations per second.

Of course, after Jonas Wood announced this Apple system, the reporters at the scene were all very excited, and his colleagues were even more frightened, crying wolf.

In addition to IBM, peers such as Wang Laboratories, Control Data Corporation, Ector Mauchly Computer Corporation, and DEC Corporation all attended the press conference.

There is no need to mention Wang Laboratories, a company founded by Wang An in 1951. Before the emergence of Robot Computer Company, Wang Laboratories' calculators were the best in the world. Now, the two sides are in a fierce competition.

The founder of DEC was Ken Olson, a former employee of Lincoln Laboratory. He founded DEC in 0 and improved the TX1, the world's first computer using only transistors developed by Lincoln Laboratory in , and launched the PDP-. As a result, DEC became the most famous manufacturer of minicomputers.

Subsequently, DEC launched computer equipment such as CDC160 and LINC, and the price dropped from US$ to US$, almost dominating the minicomputer market.

Logically speaking, such computer companies should not be interested in robotics companies, but in fact, today's robotics computer companies are already very awesome.

Before the press conference even began, Robot Computer Company had already intercepted several orders from DEC, including an order for fifteen PDP-5s from International Telephone and Telegraph Company, which placed an order for thirty computers directly from Robot Computer Company.

why?
Because Apple's system is so awesome.

Even a castrated version of Apple could make an ordinary robot all-transistor minicomputer have an operating speed of 350,000 instructions per second. What could DEC use to catch up?
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Is the Apple system really that powerful?"

At the press conference, peers such as DEC and Wang Laboratories were dumbfounded and said this was unlikely.

But the facts are before our eyes and no one can question them.

IBM did not send anyone, but they must have been in a worse situation because their peers had long heard that IBM had invested 5 billion US dollars and mobilized hundreds or even thousands of software and hardware engineers to develop a computer for the Apollo moon landing program, which was said to have an extremely high requirement of being able to perform one million instructions per second.

Now, Robot Computer Company has come up with the Apple system, which has directly achieved this goal and even exceeded it by a lot.

After the press conference, many media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post reported on the news because it was so eye-catching and considered a great invention that would change the course of human society.

IBM Corporation Headquarters, Armonk, New York.

When Secretary Delia Davenport was tidying up the desk in the president's office and placing one of the most conspicuous newspapers on the desk and preparing to leave, Thomas Watson Jr. had already walked in with a briefcase.

"Thomas, good morning. Coffee is ready for you, and today's newspaper is on your desk. I'm going to leave first. Call me if you need anything."

"Good morning, Delia. Go and do your own thing. Oh, by the way, is my coffee ready?"

"It's already soaked. It's on the table. Add two packets of sugar."

"Thank you!"

After the conversation, Thomas Watson Jr. had already sat in his boss chair, but when his eyes fell on the words on the front page headline of The Washington Post, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Have other competitors already developed a large-scale computer with a speed of 1.2 million instructions per second?
This is impossible, absolutely impossible!

Thomas Watson couldn't believe his eyes at this moment, and he had no intention of drinking coffee at all. He picked up the newspaper and began to read it carefully. But at this moment, there was a knock on the door. Vice President Axel Ortiz walked in with the newspaper, and said anxiously as he walked in:

"Thomas, we're in trouble. This is a huge problem. I've contacted Los Angeles and they said it's true. A company called Robotics has developed a computer that can operate at over one million instructions per second."

"That's a processing speed of 1.2 million instructions per second. Oh my God, how did they do that? How could IBM, the number one computer company in the United States, be suddenly overtaken by them?"

Axel Ortiz was very panicked and anxious because IBM is a listed company, and this sudden news report would definitely cause IBM's stock price to plummet.

If the shareholders are dissatisfied, he, as the vice president, might be used as a shield and would have no choice but to resign.

As for Thomas Watson Jr., he is not only the president, but also a shareholder of IBM. Even though he only holds about 5% of the shares, he is still a small shareholder.

However, IBM's market value is now more than 160 billion US dollars. Even if Thomas Watson Jr. only holds 5% of the shares, it is still a huge sum of more than 8 billion US dollars.

Therefore, Axel Ortiz would definitely not be stupid enough to compare these things with the other president. He must be more worried.

"you sure?"

Thomas Watson's face darkened slightly as he asked in a cold voice. Upon hearing this, Axel Ortiz immediately said in a serious tone:
"Yes, Thomas, this is true, and I'm not exaggerating. Although today is Monday and the stock market hasn't opened yet, I believe many people have already heard the news. When that happens, it will inevitably cause our company's stock price to plummet, which is something shareholders don't want to see."

"I think we need to adjust our strategy promptly. Besides stabilizing our stock price, we also need to contact the government ahead of time to ensure our S/360 system can be used in the Apollo moon landing program. Otherwise, our $ billion investment could be wasted."

As the second most valuable company in the United States, IBM naturally attracts a lot of attention. Now that a robotics computer company has suddenly emerged and has come up with such an awesome product, IBM must respond.

Otherwise, the outside world will definitely vote with their feet, and IBM's stock price will surely continue to fall.

"Okay, contact all the senior executives immediately for a meeting. Also, Richard from the technical department must be notified. We're going to have a meeting right now."

After hearing what Thomas Watson Jr. said, Axel Ortiz nodded repeatedly, then ran out in a hurry to call for help.

A few minutes later, in the conference room, all the senior executives of IBM gathered together, and everyone had a bad expression on their faces.

Just because the content of a press conference of an unknown robotics and computer company was too shocking, what if it was false advertising?
Not long after the meeting began, Richard Lancelot from the Technical Department immediately expressed his opinion:
"I think this Robot Computer company is definitely hyping it up. They can't possibly come up with such a powerful Apple system. Even if they did have one, it definitely wouldn't reach 1.2 million operations per second. It's absolutely impossible."

"Everyone here knows full well that IBM has spent five billion dollars, hired countless software and hardware engineers, and spent years to overcome this technical challenge, and we've only just achieved a breakthrough of 500,000 instructions per second."

"Our S/360 system is still under development and debugging. I believe it will be tested and completed soon. But Robot Computer Company? I've never heard of this company. They're just a clown."

Richard Lancelot's voice was firm and decisive, and he simply didn't believe that Robot Computer Company had really achieved what their IBM company had not done.

IBM is the world's number one computer giant, occupying more than 90 percent of the market share in North America, making it a true giant.

So it was normal that Richard Lancelot had never heard of the name of Robot Computer Company, because they were all used to being arrogant.

However, today's robotics and computer companies will definitely teach them how to behave like human beings.

While IBM was holding the meeting, more than 20 government officials, Bell Labs, a partner in the Apollo moon landing program, and University of California professor Colton McKinley had already arrived at the headquarters of Robotics Computer Corporation.

The purpose of these people coming here is very simple, which is to see whether the Apple system developed by the Robot Computer Company is really that awesome.

After obtaining technical authorization from Robotics, Bell Labs, government agencies, and University of California professor Colton McKinley each took a copy of the Apple system and prepared to go back for testing.

Because at the Robot Computer Company, maybe it was Jonas Wood and others who were up to something?

So they just brought the Apple system back to their respective units for verification, so that no one could say anything.

After about a day, Bell Labs was the first to pass the test. The Apple system of Robot Computer Company is awesome!
The large transistor computer at Bell Labs originally belonged to IBM, but after being equipped with the Apple system, its processing speed instantly soared to one million instructions per second.

Although the goal of 1.2 million times was not reached, it was because Jonas Wood, the head of the Robot Computer Company, had said earlier that the external host might not be able to reach the goal of 1.2 million times. After all, their Robot Company had more confidence in the host developed by themselves.

why?
Because the host developed by Robot Computer Company is equipped with a self-developed chip, this chip is the latest technology in the world and has strong optimization capabilities for improving computer performance.

"Hello Jonas, on behalf of Bell Labs, I congratulate you. Your company's Apple system is truly amazing. My God, this is the most powerful computer I have ever seen. Even IBM can't compare to you."

Someone from Bell Labs came and praised him, but that was not what Jonas Wood wanted to hear.

Of course, the other party soon placed an order with him for fifteen mainframe computers. Although it was only five, each one was priced at US$3.2 million.

In the original history, IBM had successfully developed the S/360 system in April 360, but it was not until that IBM began shipping it. By , the monthly sales of S/ exceeded units, with each unit priced at between million and million US dollars.

In other words, based on the average price of $360 million, the monthly revenue of an IBM mainframe equipped with the S/ system is $ billion.

It can only be said to be so terrifying!
However, this time and space has already been taken over by the Robot Computer Company.

After Bell Labs placed its order, many companies, including the University of California, government agencies, International Telephone and Telegraph Company, Braniff International Airways, TWA, Northwest Airlines, and Pan American World Airways, came one after another to place orders with Robot Computer Company.

Originally these customers were from IBM, but now they have switched to Robot Computer Company because no one can escape the law of "it's true fragrance".

Although IBM is the world's number one computer company, I'm afraid its ranking will be shaken after Robot Computer Company came up with such a product.

When the news from Los Angeles reached IBM's headquarters in Armonk, New York, Thomas Watson Jr., Axel Ortiz, Richard Lancelot and others all changed their expressions.

If a few days ago, everyone believed Richard Lancelot's nonsense and was sure that the stock price plunge was only temporary, what about now?

Obviously, the Apple system of Robot Computer Company is really awesome, otherwise, Bell Labs and other institutions would not have voted with their feet.

IBM was in chaos. Thomas Watson Jr. vowed to win back all the lost customers. At the same time, he gave Richard Lancelot a death order:
The S/360 system must be delivered within a month, otherwise, you will be on your own!
The so-called "figure it out on your own" means to resign voluntarily, because the last person who was spoken to like this by Thomas Watson Jr. had already resigned.

A few days later, news of what happened on the other side of the Pacific Ocean traveled across the ocean to the office in Lingjing Hutong Compound in Beijing. The leader of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street looked at the relevant news and couldn't help but sigh.

At the door, the leader happened to walk in. Seeing this scene, he smiled and said:
"Even though it's January now, there's no need for you to sigh, right? Did something big happen to you?"

The leader quickly stood up and handed over the information in his hand, reported the current situation, and complained about what Zhao Mancang had said to him a few days ago.

This matter is very simple. Zhao Mancang painted a pie in the sky for him a few days ago, and this pie was very big.

"Since Comrade Mancang wants to collaborate, let him do it. He's the one making all the money anyway, and he seems to have made some noise recently. Besides, you made a bet with him, and now it seems like you're likely to lose."

After understanding the situation clearly, the leader still smiled optimistically and said.

More than half an hour later, Zhao Mancang was summoned to the compound, where he had a detailed conversation with his leader and then left in a hurry.

A few days later, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization officially reached a cooperation and established a new lithography machine R&D center.

After planning for so long, we finally made some progress.

Although this movement is unlikely to produce any results in the short term, it has ultimately planted the seeds of hope.

As time goes by, the Spring Festival is approaching quietly.

On Zhongguancun South Street, in the Zhao family compound, Zhao Huijun and her other children were running around in the yard, their laughter filling the air.

The children from the neighboring family next door, Yu Yuanxu and his three siblings were all in the yard, as were the children from other nearby neighbors.

It snowed last night, and the snow was quite heavy. So after the sun came out in the morning, Zhao Huijun and the others ran out to build a snowman together, and then started a snowball fight, which lasted for a long time.

Zhao Mancang did not stop these little kids from playing. They were wearing enough clothes anyway. If they caught a cold or a fever, he would definitely prepare the bitterest medicine for them to drink instead of curing their cold and fever as quickly as possible.

"Dad, can we have seafood fried rice for lunch today?"

Tired from playing, Zhao Jinshi ran into the living room, picked up his own cup and took a sip of water, then made his own request. "No, didn't we just eat fried rice a week ago? You guys broke the rule of eating once every two weeks. You can't eat so much fried rice!"

Without giving it much thought, Zhao Mancang refused outright: "Normally, when I ask you to eat staple foods like rice and noodles, you're not very happy. What's the matter? It's only been a short time, and you've already forgotten the hard times before?"

Hard times?
Anyway, Zhao Jinshi had never experienced hard times, but Zhao Huijun had. However, she was still young at the time and probably didn't remember much.

Ever since Zhao Mancang married Lin Wan, Zhao Huijun's quality of life has been getting better, not worse.

So she was the only one who knew something about the hard times, but not much.

The reason why the three children, Xiao Shitou, Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi, are not very willing to eat staple foods is because they have too many snacks on weekdays, such as the special cakes from Guixiangcun Food Store, the special products from the Special Supply Department No. 34 of Wangfujing Department Store, and some snacks that Zhao Mancang brought back from different places such as Sam's Club and Hong Kong Island.

All these snacks and fruits were originally reserved for Lin Wan and the children. Although there are many people in the family, Zhao Mancang always brings back a lot of them.

Also, there is quite a lot of meat in every meal.

Over time, this became a habit, leading Xiao Shitou and his friends to often lie that they were full, put down their bowls and chopsticks early, and run straight to the warehouse next to the kitchen to find food less than half an hour later.

The storeroom at home is almost a treasure room, where many delicious things are stored, not to mention all kinds of fruits, there are also many snacks, meats, etc. In short, it is very attractive.

"Dad, I just want to eat. Can you make seafood fried rice for lunch?"

Just when Xiao Shitou was acting coquettishly, Zhao Huijun and her two sisters came back from outside. When they heard about seafood fried rice, they were also very happy.

Among the many foods that Zhao Mancang brought back, seafood fried rice was definitely ranked first. Sometimes, snacks such as trivets, chocolate, and banana chips had to be put aside.

"Dad, can I make seafood fried rice myself? I want to eat it too. If you don't make this fried rice, I want to try it myself."

Suddenly, Zhao Huijun said eagerly.

She had wanted to try it for a long time, but she never had the chance. After all, when Zhao Mancang was not at home, Lin Wan would be more strict with them.

Zhao Huijun, who was born in 1954, is now ten years old. Although she is not yet ten years old, she is definitely ten years old in terms of her age. In rural areas, this means she is half an adult labor force.

"Can you make seafood fried rice?" Zhao Mancang was immediately interested when he heard this. The little greedy cat nodded immediately and said, "Dad, I definitely can. I've watched you make fried rice countless times and I've memorized the steps. Don't worry, I can definitely make it."

"Okay, I'll give you a special permission today. You can do it and I'll see how your seafood fried rice tastes."

yeah!
After getting a positive answer, Zhao Huijun and the others jumped for joy. The children all loved eating fried rice. Even if it was made by their eldest sister, as long as it was not too bad, they would like it.

Next it was the time for the little greedy cat to play freely. Five-year-old Xiao Taozi and Xiao Baozi helped together. Even the little fat guy Xiao Pangdun helped from time to time. Well, he was not making trouble, but really helping to add firewood.

Steaming rice, soaking dried seafood, preparing other ingredients, etc., the whole process is not smooth, because the little greedy cat always asks her father from time to time, is this right? Is it right?
There were a lot of questions, and she was afraid that she would make mistakes. After all, this was her first time making seafood fried rice by herself. Although she had seen it many times, she was still a little afraid that she would not get it right.

Zhang Dongyue next to her didn't say anything either, but when cutting the ingredients, she was ready to help, and then she was rejected by Zhao Huijun.

"Grandma, I want to cook for myself. Don't bother me. I can cut it myself."

"What if you cut your finger?"

"I can cut it. Dad taught me. I've also seen you cut vegetables. I know. Oh, just stand aside and don't disturb me."

Zhao Huijun was like a little adult, holding the knife in a very proper manner. Although it was her first time to cut vegetables with a knife and she was a little clumsy, it must be said that her technique was quite good.

Zhao Mancang was staring at him silently. Apart from shaking his head or nodding when the little greedy cat asked questions, he did not make any other unnecessary movements.

Since the child is so enthusiastic, then as a father, he will definitely not cause trouble for the child. This is not helping, but rather discouraging the child's enthusiasm.

Zhao Mancang has always wanted his children to develop their own self-discipline habits. He believes that cooking is a very good self-discipline habit.

In that time and space in the previous life, many people were already accustomed to ordering takeout. Even if they didn’t order takeout, eating out in restaurants was commonplace, and many people even called it improving their meals.

To be honest, cooking at home is the real way to improve your diet.

To be honest, are the restaurants outside really that clean?
Even many high-end restaurants that charge very high fees may not be really clean. Anyway, the Health Bureau has set hygiene standards. For restaurants, as long as the hygiene standards are met, it is fine. Who would really make the kitchen as clean as a girl's face?
The focus of those restaurants is definitely the dining rooms, halls and other places that customers can see. As for the kitchen, to be honest, many restaurants just do it so-so and will definitely not keep it very clean.

There are even some century-old shops that have "handsome" mice in their kitchens that openly come out to "taste" food for customers.

After more than an hour, Zhao Huijun finally completed a seafood fried rice independently. Although she asked her father many times in the middle, she did the whole process by herself and did not ask her grandmother or her father for help.

"Well, it's very good and delicious." After tasting it, Zhao Mancang gave full affirmation, because it was very good that she could make it to this level for the first time.

Even though Zhao Mancang was always there to "guide" her, she still completed it independently.

After being praised, Zhao Huijun was so excited that she lost her mind.

Xiao Shitou and the other children were busy eating. Although the fried rice was not as delicious as that made by their father, it was the result of their hard work after all. They had been longing for it for so long and finally they could eat fried rice. Of course they were very happy.

In the evening, when Lin Wan came back from get off work, the little ones showed off the incident to her.

"Wow, Huijun, you're so amazing! Okay, okay, how about you come to dinner tonight?"

"Well, I'll do it, but I don't know how to cook."

Zhao Huijun was very brave when she heard this, but she was not very confident. Her mother immediately encouraged her and told her not to be afraid, as everyone was here anyway.

Encouraged by this, Zhao Huijun immediately rolled up her sleeves and started working.

Zhao Huijun, who was fooled, finally took over the job of chef at home and started working.

Mei Chunyan, Hu Xiaocao and others don’t know yet that Zhao Huijun has grown up and may take away their jobs.

However, Zhao Mancang would not let Mei Chunyan and the others leave just like that. After all, he still needed to gain experience points, so how could he easily change the current situation?

In the next few days, Zhao Huijun was tricked into taking on the task of cooking. Although she had the help of Zhang Dongyue, Mei Chunyan, Hu Xiaocao and others, she actually did everything by herself.

From preparing the menu to preparing the ingredients, to cutting the vegetables and cooking, she completed the entire process by herself. Of course, she definitely couldn't cook for so many people by herself, so she just did it one by one, making two dishes today and three dishes tomorrow.

There are enough menus at home. There are hundreds of different kinds of home-cooked dishes such as Sichuan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine alone. However, due to the different difficulty levels of preparation, they are divided into several different menus.

At the Zhao family, Zhao Huijun and her family can eat spicy food or not.

In the past, Lin Wan and Zhao Huijun mainly ate noodles, but now they have almost changed their diet. Most of their meals are rice, and the other small half is noodles.

Because Zhao Mancang likes to eat rice very much, every time he cooks at home, he needs to steam the rice, and he got used to it over time.

"Dad, shall we go shopping today?"

On this day, the New Year was approaching, and Xiao Taozi couldn't help but speak up, wanting to go out shopping and join in the fun.

Zhao Mancang went out to Guozi Lane to work from time to time, so of course he knew that lanterns were hung on several streets in Beijing, including Chang'an Avenue, yesterday, and the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival came out all at once.

It’s February!
"Tomorrow is not possible. I need to go to work tomorrow. How about the day after tomorrow? How about shopping the day after tomorrow?"

"Okay, Dad, let's put our fingers together. We agreed to go shopping the day after tomorrow."

Childish devil!
Every time we pull fingers, we pull one and then switch to another. There are several children in the family, and even the youngest fat boy is very keen on the "oath" activity of pulling fingers, and he never misses it.

Helpless as he was, Zhao Mancang had to cooperate with the little kids.

The next day, Ye Guangmin and Sun Zhonghan returned to the capital from the Guozi Lane office. They brought back goods worth 36 million US dollars. Together with the previous 20 million, it was only more than 50 million, less than 60 million.

Zhao Mancang is still more than 40 million away from the bet he made with his leader, and now it is February, and there is not much time left before the six-month deadline.

Ye Guangmin and Sun Zhonghan were almost certain that they would not be able to complete the remaining orders worth more than 40 million US dollars in the next two months.

After all, they have already found and asked all the customers they could find.

The customers for the bulletproof vests and Type 53 rifles are not ordinary people. If they dare to go to the Monkey Peninsula, where the demand is very high, they will be dancing on the edge of a knife, and there is a high probability that they will never come back.

After listening to their work reports, Zhao Mancang nodded and said:

"Now that I'm back, I'll take a good rest in Beijing for a while and go back to work after the Spring Festival. I can never make enough money."

"Boss, I want to go with you to Monkey Peninsula to sell bulletproof vests and rifles."

Sun Zhonghan suddenly spoke, and he seemed to have made up his mind. Upon hearing this, Ye Guangmin also hurriedly expressed his desire to go to Monkey Peninsula to sell those products.

After hearing their words, Zhao Mancang was very relieved that he had not chosen the wrong person. They were indeed brave enough, so he did not rush to refuse, but asked them what they were going to do?
The Monkey Peninsula is a very complicated place. If ordinary people enter this place, they will probably be killed by Sam or Moscow as soon as they get close.

Today, the entire battlefield of the Monkey Peninsula has fallen into a tense tug-of-war. From 1961 to 1964, the time span is so long that the people of the entire Monkey Peninsula are in a state of dire straits.

At this time, if you don't have a heavenly connection and a strong destiny, going to this damn place, if you are just going for sightseeing, it's okay, but if you are going to sell arms, even if you have nine lives, it is estimated that it will not be enough to die.

In the original history of time and space, Alexander Grothendieck, a stateless man and top mathematician, traveled to the Monkey Peninsula in 1967, the second year after he refused to go to Moscow to receive the Fields Medal.

He did not die when he traveled there, but if he went there to do business, especially since Ye Guangmin and Sun Zhonghan had such obvious skin color, they would definitely be killed.

"Leader, this is our plan."

Hearing Zhao Mancang's words, Ye Guangmin, who was greatly encouraged, was overjoyed and quickly told him his own plan.

His plan was not complicated. He hoped to go to the Monkey Peninsula under the escort of the Jiaolong Army to carry out the arms sales mission. Although this mission was very difficult, with the Jiaolong Army, Ye Guangmin believed that this trip would be fruitful.

"The plan seemed flawless, but in fact it was full of loopholes."

After listening to this, Zhao Mancang immediately shook his head and said:

"The Monkey Peninsula civil war has been going on for quite some time, and both Sam and Moscow have invested a great deal of manpower and resources. While you can each go to the rear of the battlefield to sell body armor and rifles, have you ever considered how you'd escape if Sam discovered you?"

"On the other hand, the civil war has lasted so long. Does the Monkey Peninsula still have any money? If you plan to transport food, minerals, and other supplies from them, how much can you take away? Don't let it all go to waste!"

Therefore, Zhao Mancang did not agree with Ye Guangmin's plan. The Jiaolong Army was good at disguise, but selling arms was not that easy.

Previously, they conducted arms trade in southern Africa, bringing over bulletproof vests and muskets, but bringing back gold or US dollars. In short, they brought money that was easier to take away, rather than materials such as oil and minerals.

"Leader, please believe me. I am sure."

Before Ye Guangmin could finish, Zhao Mancang raised his hand to stop him from saying anything else. "Don't take any risks. After the Spring Festival, you can continue to head to the Middle East or southern Africa. The waters on the Monkey Peninsula are too deep for you to handle."

After Ye Guangmin and Sun Zhonghan left, Zhao Mancang went to Wei Huayong and complained:
"Old Wei, why are they so bold?"

The latter did not complain with him, but talked about other things.

Now the Jiaolong comprehensive organization has more and more businesses, including the Jiaolong Army, Longxing Research Institute, Shaya Laboratory, Tenglong Factory, Jiaolong School, Lithography Machine Research Center and other units. Except for the Jiaolong Army, the other units are not small units.

For example, the number of workers at Tenglong Factory is almost over 4,000, and the number of students at Jiaolong School has exceeded 8,000. After September next year, there will be even more students in the school.

The bigger the stall, the more things there are to do and the busier they are. That is why Zhao Mancang is full of energy now, and he has Wei Huayong to help him, and the leaders of various units are also very dedicated. Otherwise, how could Zhao Mancang be so comfortable?
Wei Huayong mentioned that the supplies needed by the Shaya Laboratory have been fully allocated, and they received a call from the suburban base this morning, asking them to move the supplies away as soon as possible at Jiaolong.

These are all fresh vegetables from the greenhouse, so of course these supplies must be taken away as soon as possible.

Zhao Mancang nodded when he heard this and said that he would do it right away.

Then I heard Lao Wei mention that several students from Jiaolong School climbed over the wall and ran out to play last night. When they came back at five in the morning, they were caught.

"Going out to play in such cold weather? Are they crazy?"

Hearing this, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but curse, "Are these students idiots? Why do they always do such stupid things?"
