Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 281, Stainless Steel Order, Furious Huggins, $ Million
On May 1, 1965, International Labor Day, Zhao Mancang rested at home and did not go out to work.

In the morning, he slept until he woke up naturally, and was not woken up until around eight o'clock by Zhao Huijun and the other little kids.

"Isn't today a holiday? Why are you guys up so early?"

"Dad, the sun is shining brightly now, why are you still sleeping? We are going to have a picnic outside today. Didn't you promise us yesterday?"

When it comes to outdoor activities, little kids like Zhao Huijun are always happy to join in the fun and never miss a thing.

The two sisters, Xiaobaozi and Xiaotaozi, are already six years old and have already gone to school happily. Since they have met more children of their age at school, they are very interested in the "upgraded version of playing house" game such as picnic.

As for the younger Little Stone and Little Fatty, there is no need to mention them.

"Okay, isn't it raining outside today? Didn't the weather forecast on the radio last night say it would rain? Why isn't it raining?"

Zhao Mancang had to get up and complain about the weather forecast at that time.

Since the Dongfanghong-1 satellite was successfully launched into outer space two years ago, radio stations and CCTV have also started weather forecast programs.

Although it is not completely accurate, it is a prediction after all, and a rough forecast can still be achieved.

"It's not raining at all. Today is a blue sky with white clouds. There is no sign of rain at all."

Under the urging of the little kids, Zhao Mancang had to get up, wash up, and prepare the things for the picnic. Lin Wan just watched with a smile on her face and had no intention of helping.

Big Black and Little Black were wagging their tails and helping out from time to time.

These two wolf-blue dogs have been raised for almost eight years. They have actually entered middle-aged and elderly stages now. After all, generally speaking, the lifespan of a dog is between nine and fifteen years.

The food for Dahei and Xiaohei is pretty good, and the Zhao Mancang family has never treated them badly, so judging from their current situation, there will be no problem for them to live to be over ten years old.

However, there are more than just two dogs, Dahei and Xiaohei, in the family. There are also two other excellent offspring of theirs.

"set off!"

After completing the preparations, Zhao Mancang got in the car and set off with a group of little kids. Lin Wan was also in the car, and the whole family could barely fit in.

However, Zhao Mancang, who was driving at this time, had already made a lot of associations.

Because as the children grow up, this jeep that was still new a few years ago will inevitably be eliminated in the future.

Otherwise, it would be really inconvenient if the family wanted to use the car.

Just like now, Zhao Huijun and the others have grown up one after another, and the entire back space is filled with children. If they are all over ten years old, well, this car will not be able to accommodate them at all.

So we have to consider these things as early as possible, but the current level of development of the automobile industry in Tokyo is really average. Forget it, I'll go to the Beijing Automotive Manufacturing Plant another day.

Xiangshan Park, Zhao Mancang and his family came here, and after finding the location, Zhao Mancang had to go back to pick up Mei Chunyan, Hu Xiaocao and others. It was not only because there were many people, but also because Zhao Huijun and others promised Hu Xiaocao and others that

In the past few years, Hu Xiaocao and the others often stay at home and have become very familiar with Xiao Baozi and the others. Although they still fight occasionally, they are just children after all, and they can be fighting one second and hugging each other and playing together the next.

Today is Labor Day, and there are still many people out having fun, but there are not many people like Zhao Mancang and his friends who are having picnics, and it is even rare.

The weather in Beijing in May is slightly cool but not too hot, so it is very suitable for outings in the suburbs, especially picnics, which can not only make children happy, but also exercise their hands-on ability.

After arriving at the place, Zhao Mancang and his team had already chosen a spot next to the stream, and began to tidy up the stove, and then collected firewood to make a fire and cook. Zhao Huijun led all of these tasks personally, and Hu Xiaocao and his team brought Xiao Baozi, Xiao Taozi and other children to complete these tasks together.

Mei Chunyan was there to help look after the children, and would only help if they needed help with something heavy.

On the contrary, the two adults, Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan, either stayed aside and did nothing, or strolled around and enjoyed the scenery, looking very leisurely.

"Although the scenery here is quite nice, there are actually better scenery in other parts of the country. When I have the chance, I will take you to places like Jiuzhaigou. That is the real paradise on earth."

Lin Wan sighed about the good weather and beautiful scenery today, and then Zhao Mancang painted a rosy picture for her again, causing her to roll her eyes and say:

"I don't know how many times you've said this, but when have you ever done it? Haha, you're the only one who knows how to coax a child."

"I'm not kidding you. I'll take you there this fall, in September or October. How about that?"

"Anyway, I don't expect it. If what you said could be fulfilled, then it would be weird."

After hearing this, Zhao Mancang didn't say anything else, because some things really can't be done by just talking, but require actual action.

The happy Labor Day passed quickly. The children worked and the adults enjoyed themselves. Everyone was very happy.

After returning to Guozi Lane the next day, Zhao Mancang saw that the second team had also returned. Lu Yaowei and Yang Chunjiang came to him and applied to go to the Mesopotamian Plain to carry out the mission of killing the Navy SEALs and avenge the third team.

"Don't worry, the third team will be formed soon. Then your second team will join them in carrying out this mission. My request is simple: annihilate this team completely!"

This was the first time that Zhao Mancang mentioned revenge. Lu Yaowei and the others were very happy, but they were also a little worried, because wiping out the entire Navy SEAL team was not an easy task. If something went wrong, their second team would likely suffer casualties.

After the last incident, Lu Yaowei and the others already knew Zhao Mancang's bottom line for their Jiaolong Army. Being injured was acceptable because it was inevitable, but being seriously injured or even dying was absolutely not allowed.

Sure enough, this time three people from the third team died and four were seriously injured. Although Fan Xuexin and Yu Chaoqing did not seem to be seriously injured, they actually had no way to return to the Jiaolong Army, so this was considered a serious injury.

After all, three years ago in southern Africa, Yu Chaoqing and others were only slightly injured, and although Tang Moqun was also seriously injured, after he recovered and underwent rehabilitation training, he miraculously returned to his previous level, so he was not excluded.

Yu Chaoqing is not in good condition this time. Zhao Mancang's judgment is still very accurate. Even if his body recovers, at most he can recover to 80% of his previous level, and no more than that is impossible.

Therefore, minor injuries are the bottom line for the Jiaolong Army.

"Yes!"

Lu Yaowei and the others agreed loudly, and Zhao Mancang then said:

"I will be leaving the capital in two days. If you are heading there to carry out a mission, please be careful. I may not be able to arrive in time. But don't worry, if you really need support, you can still ask the Jiaolong Transportation Department for help."

After that, Zhao Mancang went to the Longxing Research Institute next door to check the research and development progress of various projects.

Today's drones are still being gradually improved, but there is still no good news about the most critical lithium battery technology, so Zhao Mancang plans to go to the northwest first.

Five days later, Zhao Mancang returned from the Northwest, but he did not bring back any news.

After returning from the Northwest, he stayed in Beijing for two days, and then went to the 626 Factory in the Northeast. This is a tool factory that mainly produces 56 and a half rifles, 56-type guns, 63-type automatic rifles and other firearms.

"Secretary Wang, this is what I think. The production process for the Type 63 automatic rifle cannot be streamlined any further. If we continue to streamline it, I'm afraid it will only lead to more problems with this firearm."

Zhao Mancang came here for a visit, but when he thought of the final fate of the Type 63 automatic rifle in the original time and space, he couldn't help but open his mouth and make a suggestion.

In fact, the Type 63 automatic rifle is a very good weapon. It has a magazine of 20 rounds of bullets and can be fired single or continuous. If the receiver material is not tight enough, resulting in insufficient air pressure, the barrel will fire when the soldier pulls the trigger.

Especially during continuous firing, soldiers were unable to control their guns at all, causing many soldiers to be afraid of this gun, and naturally no one was willing to use it.

In the original time and space, it was not until 1969 that it was mass-produced. In 1977 or 1978, the arsenals and troops took the initiative to apply to the higher authorities to withdraw the Type 63 automatic rifle from the equipment sequence. At that time, millions of troops across the country had to be equipped with the Type 53 family of firearms again.

But this time and space is different. Because of Zhao Mancang, the higher-ups allocated a lot of funds to the 626 Factory, so they have now started mass-producing Type 63 automatic rifles.

However, history is surprisingly similar. Since there are now more than six million active troops, plus an even larger militia force, the production pressure on the 626 Factory is still very high.

Despite the high production pressure, many troops wanted to replace their equipment with the Type 63 automatic rifle. After all, it had strong firepower and high shooting accuracy. It was definitely the best combination of the Type 56.5 and Type 56 assault rifles. No soldier didn't want to own a Type 63.

In order to improve productivity, the 626 Factory tried to change the production process. For example, it changed the original cast and forged receiver and then milled it into a stamped and riveted receiver, and also changed the threaded connection between the barrel and the receiver to a cylindrical hole press fit connection.

This approach does improve production efficiency, but the receiver may also cause problems such as flying apart or even spraying fire backwards when firing due to insufficient density.

This will definitely cost the soldiers' lives. Who would dare to take such a gun at that time?
Secretary Wang of the 626 Factory smiled bitterly. He didn't want to do it either, but the pressure from the higher-ups and other military leaders was overwhelming. This was the solution given by the institute. What else could the 626 Factory do except accept it?
Seeing the other party complaining, Zhao Mancang was helpless. Some things could not be handled head-on. He could only wait until Jiaolong's firearms research and development department came up with a real assault rifle. Otherwise, he would not have much say now.

After returning from the Northeast, Zhao Mancang found the Red Star Steel Plant and cooperated with this unit.

"Director Zhao, are you talking about producing this type of stainless steel? The production process for 304 stainless steel isn't very complicated, but you're purchasing such a large quantity."

Secretary Zhang of the Red Star Steel Plant hesitated when he heard this.

Now is the era of planned economy, and all production has tasks. But now Zhao Mancang suddenly placed an order with their steel plant to produce five tons of 304 stainless steel. To be honest, Secretary Zhang was of course very surprised.

As for the production process of 304 stainless steel, the electric furnace workshop of Taiyuan Iron and Steel Corporation had already started production as early as . After that, all major steel mills across the country mastered this production process.

The University of Tokyo of this era is so unique, just like bicycles from all major brands, they all look exactly the same, because if only one unit masters the new technology, then other units will soon master it.

"Secretary Zhang, I know that your Red Star Steel Plant will definitely be able to take it. If you can't take this order, then I will go to the Capital Steel Plant and the others."

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Secretary Zhang had no choice but to agree with a wry smile, but he was muttering in his heart that all the unplanned steel production this year might have to be used to fill this hole.

But it’s only May now, and it’s still early before the end of the year, so there’s still time.

In many factories during the planned economy era, no one was so foolish as to only produce what was planned, because everyone knew that other unexpected situations might occur, such as power outages, work stoppages, or sudden demands to increase production.

In short, at the beginning of the year, the higher-ups required the production of one million tons of steel this year. It was naturally impossible for the Red Star Steel Plant to produce 500,000 tons in the first half of the year and 55 tons in the second half of the year.

Instead, they will produce 600,000 tons in the first half of the year, and 300,000 tons in the first three months of the second half of the year. In this way, the production task will be only 100,000 tons in the last three months. They can attack or defend, which is simply great.

Back at the Guozi Lane office, Gu Haidong ran over angrily to question Zhao Mancang. Why did he take so much money to place an order with Red Star Steel Plant, requiring them to produce five tons of 304 stainless steel? What did Tenglong Factory need so much stainless steel for?
"Director Gu, I suggest you change your temper. Of course, I was wrong for not reporting this to you in a timely manner, but you're not without problems either."

Facing the extremely angry Gu Haidong, Zhao Mancang still poured him tea with a smile and continued:

"If I hadn't been unable to locate you, I wouldn't have placed an order with Red Star Steel Plant in advance."

"Can't you wait for a few days? Are you in such a hurry?" Gu Haidong was still frowning. Look at the "川" character on his forehead, it can kill a family of four by pinching a fly to death.

"Of course it's urgent. The Jiaolong Army is about to head to the Mesopotamian Plain to carry out a mission, and I want to give them a small gift."

"What little gift?"

Wei Huayong couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, and Zhao Mancang smiled and kept it a secret, saying that we just had to wait for an afternoon.

Because he had assigned a task to the Tenglong factory, he gave them some of the 304 stainless steel he brought back from the Red Star Steel Plant today, and asked them to make a special pressure cooker.

Once this special pressure cooker is detonated, the explosion is extremely powerful.

However, the manufacturing cost of such a pressure cooker is very low. Of course, the current steel production of our Dongda is very average. Last year, the steel produced reached 1500 million tons, while the original time and space produced 902 million tons of iron and 964 million tons of steel.

Of course, even if it is 1500 million tons of steel, such steel production is still very average, but even so, in Zhao Mancang's view, the cost of a pressure cooker is much lower than those bombs.

In today's international market, a 155mm howitzer shell costs as much as $ and is in short supply.

During the Monkey Peninsula Civil War, Sam sold more than 150 billion US dollars worth of weapons and equipment, and this money was repaid by the Monkey Peninsula using oil, minerals, food and other materials.

However, in Zhao Mancang's opinion, a pressure cooker bomb may not have the same explosive power as a howitzer shell, but it will definitely not be far behind. So there is nothing wrong with selling a pressure cooker for $150, right?

Even if they don't use this to make a profit, it would be a worthy death for them to send the Navy SEALs off with a pressure cooker.

Half a day later, Zhao Mancang, Wei Huayong, Gu Haidong and others came to an open space outside the Tenglong factory, and the pressure cooker explosion test officially began.

Bang!
When a huge explosion was heard, there was a huge vibration in front, and the dummies and others were blown away more than ten meters away. Gu Haidong and others immediately showed surprise on their faces.

"Is it really that powerful? Is this the little gift you mentioned? This is clearly a super-large explosive pack."

Wei Huayong was more than a hundred meters away from the center of the explosion and could still see a lot of wood pierced by steel ball fragments. The power of such an explosion was indeed too strong.

"Well, Lao Wei, Director Gu, what do you think about giving this little gift to the Jiaolong Army and letting them cook the Navy SEALs?"

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued with a smile:

"If you sell a pressure cooker like this to the monkeys on Monkey Peninsula, do you think they would be ecstatic?"

At this time, the Monkey Peninsula had been in civil war for several years. Although the fighting could no longer continue, both Moscow and Sam had become really angry and would certainly continue.

Besides, now it was Lyndon Johnson, the old man, who was the squad leader, so how could he not continue to fight?

Even after Richard Milhouse became squad leader and promised to withdraw from the Monkey Peninsula battlefield, he was unable to succeed. It was not until Gerald Rudolph, the deputy squad leader, was promoted to the regular squad leader that the document was finally officially signed, and then the withdrawal from the Monkey Peninsula officially began in 1975.

It is only 1965 now. The jackals and tigers of the California Consortium have not even had enough food and water. How could they be willing to evacuate from the Monkey Peninsula?
In this situation, if Zhao Mancang sold the pressure cooker as a bomb to General Sakae and his gang, they would surely be ecstatic, right? Wei Huayong and Gu Haidong both gasped, their eyes widening. The latter, in particular, gave Zhao Mancang a thumbs-up.
"Comrade Mancang, I was wrong. This is the best strategy! I agree with your decision. Let's do it. I will supervise the Tenglong factory and have them produce more qualified pressure cookers as soon as possible."

Pressure cookers have been around for a long time, but they didn't become popular in the University of Tokyo until the 1980s.

Half a month later, Zhao Mancang arrived in Hong Kong Island and planned to stay there for a while.

The Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company's arms sales still require his presence. Whether it's bulletproof vests, Type 53 rifles, or new products like pressure cookers, only Zhao Mancang can sell these products to General Sakae and his gang.

There is no way. Now Sam and Moscow are both patrolling the sea in tacit understanding, guarding against being taken advantage of.

The battlefield they opened up was to plunder more wealth, simply because war was the fastest way to make money.

Sam sold more than 100 billion US dollars worth of weapons to the Monkey Peninsula, and they were all blown up. Such fireworks are not a scene that monkeys like General Sakari want to see.

In short, they just want peace and don't want to continue fighting like this.

Unfortunately, Moscow and Sam have reached a tacit understanding, because they both know that neither can do anything to the other, so it is better for them to just make some money honestly.

If they could have ended the war, they would have done so soon after it began.

After all, without overwhelming strength, it is impossible to win.

It is impossible for the Monkeys to have such awesome world-famous generals. They need to have many such great generals and marshals. Otherwise, it would be wishful thinking for them to copy the path of the University of Tokyo.

Zhao Mancang first stayed in Hong Kong Island for a week, accompanying Liu Baochan and her son for several days, and then came to Monkey Peninsula with some pressure cookers and a large number of Type 53 rifles, bulletproof vests and bullets.

"General Sakari is dead? It doesn't matter. You are the new person in charge, right? What's your name? Jialaimondo, right?" Zhao Mancang looked at the black monkey in front of him and said lightly:

"Garaimondo, you are blessed this time. Your hope of revival has come. I have brought you new weapons. They are cheap, easy to use, and most importantly, very powerful."

Driven by the curiosity of Jialaimondo and others, Zhao Mancang detonated a pressure cooker bomb, shocking the group of monkeys so much that they opened their mouths wide. Their expressions were very exaggerated, and they shouted and made strange noises. Obviously, the appearance of the pressure cooker bomb made them at a loss.

"how much is it?"

"One hundred and seventy dollars a piece. No, no, no, no bargaining. Okay, okay, how about one hundred and sixty dollars a piece? It can't be any cheaper."

After some bargaining, Zhao Mancang finally said helplessly:

"Okay, one hundred and fifty is one hundred and fifty dollars, but you must purchase five hundred thousand pieces!"

hiss!
Five hundred thousand pressure cooker bombs, calculated at a price of one hundred and fifty U.S. dollars each, would amount to fifty million U.S. dollars.

This amount of money is not small, but having 500,000 pressure cooker bombs is also pretty good. This time, we should be able to blow those Northerners' butts into pieces, right?

Thus, the pressure cooker bomb appeared openly on the battlefield of Monkey Peninsula. After receiving the report, General Sam here immediately became furious:

"Fuck, who is that? Didn't you say you had it well-protected? How did someone still get in? They've already sold out, didn't you notice?"

William Huggins' eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Paul Carlton Weyand, Frederick, Abrams and others were also very angry, but helpless, because this was the result reported to them by their subordinates, and they had no idea how the enemy transported these weapons and ammunition into the monkey territory.

Because the southern part of the Monkey Peninsula, whether it is the sea or the air, or the neighboring land countries on the other side, are all under the surveillance of Sam's soldiers.

As a result, numerous bulletproof vests, Type 53 rifles, large quantities of bullets, pressure cooker bombs, etc., came in.

They had no idea about the specific transportation methods and routes, and Abrams and his subordinates bribed some of Garaymondo's generals, but they also didn't know.

The reason is very simple. The person who traded with them directly transported all the weapons and ammunition to the Monkey Peninsula. It can even be said that the transaction was conducted about one kilometer outside their military base. Who knows when so many weapons and ammunition appeared outside their military camp.

In fact, generals like Galaimondo were also very angry, but they had no such defense system at all. Even their scouts did not have advance warning, so they had no way of knowing the news.

"Report this to Sam's homeland."

As the commander-in-chief, William Huggins felt that his term of office might be over. After so many years, he had not been able to capture Zhao Mancang, resulting in a serious slump in the sales of weapons and ammunition on the California consortium's side.

If the tycoons are angry, the consequences will be very serious. Huggins doesn't think he can withstand the anger of those big capitalists, so he should be mentally prepared in advance.

As for hiding all this?
Haha, no need to think about it!

Paul, Carlton, Weyand and the others fell silent upon hearing this. They were equally disheartened, thinking that their carefree days were gone forever.

Zhao Mancang took away nearly 300 million US dollars worth of minerals, oil, food and other materials. After bringing these materials back, he placed them all directly in the Kwai Chung Wharf warehouse, and then arranged for people from Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company to transport all these materials back to the neighboring Futian Airport Wharf.

After arriving at the Futian Airport Terminal, these supplies will be transported away one after another, and Zhao Mancang will not need to worry about them.

In 1965, the economic development of Hong Kong Island was quite good. Zhao Mancang inspected his own industries step by step, while accompanying Liu Baochan and her son.

It was not until early July that Zhao Mancang left Hong Kong Island and went to Sam's Club.

At Medford Airport in North America, after Zhao Mancang's plane landed here, he immediately summoned Leonard Esveld and others.

"Boss, we have already completed the two key technologies of sensors and flight control. Although radio communication and fiber optic communication have been developed, the results are not as good as expected."

After hearing their work report, Zhao Mancang nodded:

"Okay, I understand. This time I brought you the other parts of the drone. These are the lithium battery, the aircraft body, the rotor, the remote control system, and the display."

"Complete the assembly as soon as possible. I need to know the test flight results as soon as possible."

Mario Aviation is his company, and this company certainly needs to develop. Zhao Mancang also needs to use scientists such as Leonard Esveld, Greg Robinson, Xavier Foster, etc. to help him complete more scientific research projects.

His company is originally between military and civilian industries. It is hard to say whether it will accept military orders, but there is no doubt that the development of technology will never fall behind.

What Zhao Mancang needs to ensure is that these core technologies are in the hands of the company and not stolen by the SAM Intelligence Agency, Federal Fobole and other departments.

In short, these technologies can only remain within Mario Aviation.

"Boss, we can actually produce this battery," Greg Robinson couldn't help but say. Zhao Mancang said expressionlessly:
"Take a closer look at the information yourself. Are you sure we still have the energy to develop battery technology?"

The lithium battery technology for drones is a very advanced core technology. Currently, no battery company in the world is able to develop and produce it, except for the Shaya Laboratory in Northwest China.

The Shaya Laboratory is located in the heart of the Taklamakan Desert. It is impossible for outsiders to enter such a place smoothly. Even if you break through the layers of obstacles in the desert and successfully find the oasis where the Shaya Laboratory is located, it will be useless.

Qi Zizhou, Pan Enzhi and other members of the security team will not be merciful. Moreover, their team is small in number and they have a strong sense of responsibility. How could they possibly let those spies get into the Shaya Laboratory?
Not to mention giving them access to those core technologies.

Greg Robinson was unconvinced when he heard this, but he was dumbfounded after seeing the technical description of the lithium battery.

Zhao Mancang pretended not to see the expression on the other person's face, and said lightly:
"Okay, meeting dismissed. You will immediately begin assembling and testing. Give me the results as soon as possible."

After the meeting, Zhao Mancang went to Wanjia Supermarket to learn about the supermarket’s current operating conditions.

Since the beginning of this year, after a large number of home appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and televisions were placed on the shelves of Wanjia Supermarket, more than 200 supermarkets across the United States have made efforts and their sales have soared to a record high.

Although Wanjia Supermarket uses "good quality and low price" as its slogan and does not engage in high-profit business, the profits from these home appliances are really high.

There is no way. The market conditions are here. Wanjia Supermarket’s black and white TV is priced at US$299, and many competitors have sued it. If the price is directly marked at US$199 or US$139, then TV giants such as General Electric, Pioneer Television, and Radio Corporation will definitely be furious.

Even now, they are very crazy, but they can't do anything about Wanjia Supermarket. After all, Wanjia Supermarket now has more than 200 stores across the country, and its legal team has formed super combat effectiveness.

Therefore, even if the giant General Electric personally stepped in, it would be useless.

Wanjia Supermarket has defeated its competitors in the home appliance market and forced them to adjust their strategies, lower prices or adopt other strategies, otherwise their survival will be in jeopardy.

In other words, Wanjia Supermarket did not advertise, otherwise, with this wave of market conditions, General Electric and others would definitely not even have a chance to breathe.

However, Wanjia Supermarket has more than 200 stores across the country, and word of mouth from consumers has also led to a surge in home appliance sales.

This wave of market also boosted the sales of other products of Wanjia Supermarket. There is no way, many people still don’t know about Wanjia Supermarket, not to mention that many people don’t trust it, because low prices, to a certain extent, actually mean that the products are not good.

As a result, many people went into Wanjia Supermarket with the attitude of giving it a try, looked at the products, and after trying them, they all said they were good, so it became a large-scale "it's really good" scene.

Many people were shocked by the prices and product quality of Wanjia Supermarket, and became their loyal customers.

Upon learning that everything was going well for Wanjia Supermarket, Zhao Mancang rejected the suggestion of the person in charge, Denis Cardron, to hand over the profits, and told them to use the money instead of keeping it in the bank.

Wanjia Supermarket needs to continue to develop and grow further and cannot stop.

"Now is the time to accelerate our development in other parts of the world, especially in the two major markets of Europe and Kimura. There are still many wealthy people in these places. We need to speed up our development and not let others make all the money. Lady Luck won't always be so kind to us."

Zhao Mancang looked at Dogana Isulivan, Femi Marchioni, Leonard Gray and others. They were all members of the management of Wanjia Supermarket. If nothing happened to this group of people, Wanjia Supermarket would be as solid as a rock.

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Leonard Gray and others nodded, but they didn't quite understand why Zhao Mancang attached so much importance to Kimura. After all, it was just a place that had been plundered by their Sam.

Zhao Mancang did not give a detailed explanation on this matter, but believed that they would understand it once they arrived in Kimura.

There is no doubt that although Kimura has no military strength and is heavily garrisoned by Sam, its economy "revived" in the early 1950s due to the war on the peninsula.

In order to involve a certain Eastern power and allow Sam to pursue more, Kimura's economy is also developing rapidly.

In addition, there are many local engineers and technicians in Kimura, so they can develop very rapidly. In optical manufacturing, semiconductors and other aspects, Kimura has a very good vision and has begun to catch up.

In short, opening more Wanjia supermarket stores in Kimura now is not a wrong strategy. On the contrary, it is the most correct policy.

"For other parts of Southeast Asia, we should focus on establishing our presence now. There is no need to rush to build more stores. We can just do what we can based on the local economic conditions."

"The same is true in Europe. In economically developed cities like Great Britain and Gaul, we can establish more stores on a large scale, quickly seize the market, and at the same time establish our own logistics system."

"On the other hand, we also need to order five cargo passenger planes from Mario Airlines for global cargo transportation. We can't just rely on sea transportation. Many high-end ingredients must be transported by air. This cannot be so hasty."

When thinking about high-end ingredients, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but think of the place south of the colorful clouds. There are many high-end mushrooms in Shangri-La and other areas. These resources can be mined instead of being used by local farmers to feed pigs.

As we all know, the extremely high-end black truffle in later generations is still regarded as the pig mushroom that is hated by locals in traditional mushroom producing areas such as Shangri-La.

Anyway, the locals don’t like to eat this stuff and don’t even consider it as a food ingredient, let alone a high-end food ingredient.

This must be remembered. When he returns to the capital, he will go there to investigate and take Lin Wan and the others with him for a tour, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise.

After holding a meeting with the management of Wanjia Supermarket, Zhao Mancang visited the aviation engine research and development center, computer manufacturing laboratory, Stephen Farm Group and other places in the next few days.

By now, he has many companies in California. The above are just a part of them, because they do not include Fairchild Semiconductor, Paramount and other three Hollywood film giants.

At the Aviation Engine R&D Center, Zhao Mancang had an unexpected gain, because although this scientific research institution was only established in January last year, they are very powerful and have now completed an engine R&D task that he had assigned to them.

"Okay, okay, very good. You should quickly come up with the production equipment and perfect all the technical details of the entire production process. Then everyone will get a reward."

Zhao Mancang was of course very happy to hear this, so he just made a promise.

The promises he made were usually fulfilled, and since they were not a big deal to him and his expenses were average, he could afford it.

In Los Angeles, Zhao Mancang came to Fairchild Semiconductor for inspection. Now he had changed into another disguise.

On Sam's side, he has many aliases, and the aliases for different companies are different. He remembers them very clearly and has also made detailed notes in the system space, so there is no need to worry about confusion.

Since Fairchild Semiconductor successfully developed a projection lithography machine in January last year, it has started production and made money. However, the development progress of the new lithography machine has become very slow.

The reason is that Robert, Blank, Herney and others are already rich, so they are not as passionate about their current jobs as before.

To put it simply, I used to regard work as a part of my life, but now I just regard work as a tool to make a living, nothing more.

Zhao Mancang didn't say anything. After all, everyone has their own ambitions. When Fairchild Semiconductor is overtaken by Tokyo University, they will know how big a mistake it is.
