Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 298: Several scientific research projects resulted in thousands of casualties (asking for monthly tickets)

Beijing, Lingjing Hutong compound office.

"Boss, sales of our lithium battery products at Sam's Club are stabilizing. I've already received an order for 50,000 plasma displays. Our domestic factory can now ramp up production."

Zhao Mancang sat upright and reported on his work, saying respectfully and calmly:

"From the current situation, Wanjia Supermarket has already conquered Sam's Club and other markets in Europe. It is expected that it will soon have more than 1,000 stores worldwide."

"This scale is a very good thing for us. In addition, I have also reached cooperation agreements with several companies such as Target, and we can also export more products to them."

"While retail giants like Target don't have the same store traffic as Wanjia Supermarket, they still have a significant number of stores. Furthermore, their product competitiveness is indeed somewhat lacking."

"But I believe that if they replace their products with our domestic, high-quality, low-cost products, they will definitely be more competitive, and their sales will increase. In short, for us, the more best-selling products, the better."

When the leaders heard his words, their faces lit up and they nodded repeatedly.

The contract for one more supermarket may seem to have no impact, but in fact, there are more than one such supermarket store. Instead, they are spread across the entire Sam's Club continent, and the number of stores starts from several hundred.

The entire Sam has a population of 200 million, which may not seem like a large number, but it actually consumes a lot of resources.

Just because they, the Sams, are rich, and especially from now on, they will always be rich.

"From now on, the trend of economic globalization is irreversible, and the trade between Kimura and Sam's Club is also growing at a very fast pace."

"Our current competitor is Kimura Products. Their semiconductor products are starting to gain popularity. They are low-priced and have guaranteed quality."

"If we could achieve such high-quality products, we would definitely have a better price advantage than Kimura, but unfortunately our technology is not good enough."

Hearing what Zhao Mancang said, the leaders couldn't help but frown.

Although this is true, it is too blunt to state it so bluntly.

However, since the leaders were used to Zhao Mancang's way of reporting work, they naturally had nothing to say.

At this moment, one of the leaders suddenly asked, "Comrade Mancang, are you aware of the recent controversy surrounding Sam's film?"

"I wonder what specific aspects you are asking about, leader?" Zhao Mancang asked with a smile. The leader said that he wanted to know about Sam's film market situation.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang immediately said:

"The basic situation of the film market in Sam's country is this: since almost every household in the country has a television, the film market has been extremely sluggish since the late 1950s."

"After entering the 1960s, the eight Hollywood giants were almost on the verge of collapse. The box office of each of their films was very low. In 1963, the annual box office of their films was only a little over 800 million US dollars."

"However, after mid-1964, three of the eight major Hollywood companies—Paramount, 20th Century Fox, and Universal Pictures—began to rise again."

"The films produced by these three film companies are getting better and better, breaking box office records one after another. Last year, Bruce Lee's 'Way of the Dragon' almost broke the box office record on Sam's side."

"Kung Fu movies seem to have set off a new wave in Sam's. Even places like Hong Kong and Taiwan are scrambling to imitate them, hoping to make a killing."

After hearing this, the leaders were already itching to do something. They were not focusing on the so-called box office, but the situation of the Chinese at Sam's Club.

It seems a bit unexpected!
"It is said that there are already tens of thousands of martial artists in Hollywood. Is this true?" the leader continued to ask.

Zhao Mancang looked at his leader and nodded with a smile.

Today, Sam not only has tens of thousands of stuntmen in Hollywood, but also in New York and other places.

Even many martial arts schools across Sam have welcomed a new wave, with many Sam locals rushing to martial arts schools to learn martial arts routines, and some even insist on learning a certain martial art.

In movies, whether it is "Chinese Boxing Gym" or "Southern Fist", or "Enter the Dragon", "Chen Zhen" and other movies, there are a lot of kung fu in them.

The famous Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Xingyi Quan, Bagua Zhang, Tongbei Quan, Mantis Quan, Hung Quan, Drunken Fist, Golden Bell Cover, etc., all these boxing routines have different appeals to many people.

Also because of the rise of these kung fu movies, Sam's martial arts school ushered in a new chapter, which made the Chinese people on Sam's side relatively better off.

It wasn't long before many Sam people believed that all Chinese people must be good at martial arts.

Judging from the current movie promotions, almost every time someone has a Chinese face, many Sam people think that the first thing they think of is that this person must be good at martial arts.

After the release of many martial arts movies such as "Chinese Boxing Gym", as well as gangster movies such as "The Godfather", most of the people who know martial arts are Chinese.

This form of entertainment promotion has already formed a fixed perception among many movie fans after just a few years of bombardment.

It's a good thing, but it's also a definite shackle.

Of course, whether Chinese people can make a name for themselves in Hollywood ultimately depends on themselves.

What Zhao Mancang can do is to encourage Hollywood giants like Paramount to develop films related to Chinese culture as much as possible and promote them through these forms.

For example, in the movie script of "Jurassic Park", Zhao Mancang modified many of the characters in it, and there must be a Chinese with particularly powerful martial arts skills as the savior.

A Chinese scientist with amazing leg skills does not necessarily have to be the protagonist. For example, a role like the second male lead or the female lead is still very attractive to movie fans.

Of course, in special effects blockbusters like "Jurassic Park", dinosaurs are the real protagonists, and humans are supporting roles.

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, the leaders could not help but feel deeply moved. One of them said:

"It seems like there are people in Hollywood who understand Chinese culture very well. They've been able to come up with so many great scripts one after another. And from what we've seen so far, the Chinese community there is doing very well. Comrade Mancang, you need to pay more attention to this."

"Okay, leader, I understand."

The discussion about Hollywood ended here. Zhao Mancang then reported on other situations, finally concluding today's work report.

After coming out of Lingjing Hutong, Zhao Mancang returned to Guozi Lane.

Wei Huayong has officially retired, and the person who has taken his place is Mi Shouyang.

Compared with Lao Wei, Lao Mi is now able to handle things very well. After all, the latter is energetic and will of course be able to handle the work better.

Zhao Mancang is basically a hands-off boss and doesn't really care about these companies.

He is now only focusing on those scientific research projects, such as the research on lithography machines that has been advanced for several years. At present, there is no hope of developing his own lithography machine.

There is no way. The workload of the lithography machine is too large and it cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Zhao Mancang didn't have too much hope for this. After all, it was already very good to be able to develop it. What else was there to think about?

You know, there are still many kinds of scientific and technological projects that need breakthroughs.

After staying in Guozi Lane for half a day to understand the current situation of each unit and gain a general understanding of the current situation of the Jiaolong Army, Zhao Mancang returned to Zhongguancun South Street.

For the next period of time, Zhao Mancang stayed in the capital, working during the day, going home at night, and resting as usual on weekends.

Children like Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi all want to go to Hong Kong Island and keep counting the days until their next trip.

They even want to celebrate the Spring Festival in Hong Kong Island instead of in Beijing.

After experiencing the local customs and various fun facilities in Hong Kong Island, these children will of course talk about it even more.

But no matter how much the children wanted to go to Hong Kong Island, there was nothing they could do because they still had to go to school.

In the blink of an eye, it was October and Zhao Mancang came to the Northwest to watch the launch of the first synchronous satellite.

Three synchronous satellites have been built and are now being launched, but the second one will definitely be launched after one is launched.

Eat one bite at a time, don't be in a hurry.

Zhao Mancang was very excited as he watched the rocket rising from the ground with a long flame at its tail.

This is new technology.

Once the three synchronous satellites are successfully launched, it will be a new era for the country.

After the launch, Zhao Mancang went to the Shaya Laboratory.

Unlike a few years ago, the current Shaya Laboratory has expanded a lot and the number of staff has also increased a lot.

Whether last year or this year, the various units under the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization have added a large number of new personnel.

Especially the Shaya Laboratory, the current staff here has exceeded 20,000 people, which shows how many new people were added last year and in the middle of this year.

The increase in personnel also means that the tasks at Shaya Laboratory have become more important.

"Next, you will add a new material project. This new material project may last for many years, or even ten years, without any scientific research results. However, I hope you can overcome the difficulties."

After the visit and inspection, Zhao Mancang gathered a group of scientific researchers and came up with a new project.

The future belongs to stealth fighters, and Zhao Mancang has already begun to make plans.

Sam has already started the project, so there is no reason why Zhao Mancang would not conduct project research in this area.

So he directly took out some of his technology and prepared to start with new materials.

"There are two requirements: one is that the technical materials can achieve dual-band operation of visible light and infrared in a dark environment, and the other is low cost." Zhao Mancang raised two fingers and put forward his own requirements to this group of scientific researchers.

This requirement seems very unreasonable and complicated, but in fact it is not simple at all.

Stealth materials for fighter jets are inherently very expensive and cannot be low-cost.

The R&D costs alone are enormous, not to mention the materials themselves. Add to that various other time and other costs, and the cost is incredibly high.

But Zhao Mancang doesn't care about that. The technology has been developed and the research direction has been determined. Whether it can be turned into a real product depends entirely on these scientific research staff.

“Also, I have a new project here.”

After dealing with the fighter jet stealth material project, Zhao Mancang came up with a new project. Xu Qinggong, Yang Yongfu, Li Weihan, Chai Yunzhen and others were all surprised.

How many projects are there?
There are not enough staff!

Scientific research is not like production. Even if the technology is a little bit poor, you can still get by. But in scientific research, there is no way around it. If you can't get by, you can't get by. You can't force it.

Even though Zhao Mancang has come up with the technology and the technical information is very detailed, sometimes it cannot be achieved from the perspective of actual operation.

There is nothing I can do but stare blankly.

Perhaps sometimes, inspiration may suddenly strike and such technology may be realized.

"I know you've been working hard, but don't look at me like that. Time is of the essence. I've already added quite a few new staff members, and the first batch of outstanding students at Jiaolong School will graduate in about six months. You have to trust me."

"Students from Jiaolong School are undoubtedly outstanding graduates with both literary and military skills. They will definitely be able to help you with your upcoming projects."

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Chai Yunzhen and the others nodded.

Of course Chai Yunzhen and the others knew about the existence of Jiaolong School. Zhao Mancang had even praised it so often that they were already eager to meet these students.

why?
Because the first batch of Jiaolong School students will have been studying for a total of six years by July next year.

Zhao Mancang had said before that the training time for students of Jiaolong School is six years.

When they were admitted, they were already sixth-grade elementary school graduates. Three years each of junior high and high school were actually not enough.

But if the curriculum is compressed, six years is more than enough.

You know, six years is already an extremely long time. How many six years can we have in our lifetime?

Besides, in that future time and space, the reason why so many people would graduate from university or even get a doctorate before looking for a job, is it really what they want to do?
No.

But in this era, the context may be similar, but not exactly the same.

Jiaolong School is an exception. It is a military unit and is fundamentally different from other schools.

Moreover, the students of Jiaolong School are trained in three major directions: scientific research, special forces, and factory technicians. They are completely different from students trained in other ordinary schools.

As it stands, there probably won’t be many of the first batch of students who go on to work as technicians in factories.

Just because these students cherish everything they have now, they work hard to acquire knowledge and really make themselves successful.

After the meeting with Xu Qinggong and others, Zhao Mancang took another walk around the Shaya laboratory area.

This time he was in a helicopter, wandering around.

"Have we had any enemy reconnaissance planes bothering us recently?"

On the plane, Zhao Mancang asked loudly, and Qi Zizhou immediately said:
"No, it's been peaceful recently. It's probably because you, the leader, have killed so many U-ers before, and those enemies don't dare to harass us anymore."

Zhao Mancang nodded after hearing this.

In fact, there should be more than just this reason. It is more because Sam has cleaned up all the military bases overseas, so they are now busy catching thieves.

In addition, Zhao Mancang deployed a new special forces team in the small town of Iskushban near the Gulf of Aden in the Middle East.

Although Xie Pingzhou, Lake Butler, Ding Shoushun, O'Connor Adrian and others are still staying in the small town for training, they have already started their mission since the end of last year.

After all, it has been almost a year and a half since March last year, and people like Xie Pingzhou have already gotten along very well.

The Black Cross team has a total of 148 people. 48 of them are left in Iskushuban to guard their hometown, and the other 100 are divided into two teams that can cooperate with each other and carry out their tasks separately.

Therefore, in the Middle East, these two teams gradually became famous.

They have no shortage of weapons and ammunition, and no shortage of money, so they are not afraid of death.

All the Sam arms dealers in the Middle East are scared.

The soldiers of Sam Base who were sent to support the arms dealers all suffered.

It was because of these stressful things that Sam didn't keep an eye on the Shaya laboratory area.

They didn't even dare to send out the Blackbird reconnaissance plane, simply because one of them was stolen and they were now very cautious.

Until the thief is caught, they probably dare not let the Blackbird reconnaissance plane leave their territory.

Either they have made all the necessary preparations, otherwise they would not let the Blackbird reconnaissance plane leave Sam's homeland.

Sitting in the helicopter, Zhao Mancang looked down at the desert and oasis below and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Plans like the one to encircle the Taklamakan Desert did not start now, but only in the 1980s.

We don’t have any money now.

But it doesn’t matter. The oasis of Shaya Laboratory will surely expand slowly. In the future, it will be able to provide more water resources, and it may even become a true Jiangnan city outside the Great Wall.

A week had passed since we left the Shaya Laboratory, and good news had come from the Northwest Launch Base: the first synchronous satellite had successfully arrived at its designated location.

The second synchronous satellite will start its launch procedure next month, and the last synchronous satellite will be launched in January next year.

According to this plan, the synchronous orbit satellite will be fully launched after January next year.

By that time, satellite phones will have completely established their reputation and will become an important communication tool in the military field.

When they returned to Beijing, Zhong Xiaodong, Lin Kewei and others had already found Zhao Mancang. What they wanted to consult was related to synchronous orbit satellites.

Of course, people like Zhong Xiaodong were very curious about how awesome the synchronous orbit satellite was that Zhao Mancang had boasted about for so long.

After all, this is a synchronous orbit satellite. If the satellite phone can really connect to all parts of the world, it will be of great help.

Satellite phones were already available before, but the call quality was not satisfactory.

Just because the call quality of the Earth-orbit satellite is average and the signal is interrupted from time to time, Zhong Xiaodong and the others were quite depressed after such interference.

Now that synchronous orbit satellites have been launched, satellite phones are not far away.

"Leader, you still have to wait a while. It's definitely not possible now."

There is no point in being anxious, because all three synchronous orbit satellites must be successfully connected, but now there are still two satellites that have not been launched into the sky, so we can only wait.

Geosynchronous orbit satellites are located in a space region more than 30,000 kilometers away from the earth's surface, which is very far away.

There is a satellite in each of the three directions, so that the satellite signal can cover all places in the world except the North and South Poles.

Zhao Mancang had not been in the capital for long when he received a satellite call from Sun Zhonghan.

The signal was not very good, but Zhao Mancang heard the general information that something happened in southern Africa again.

This time the incident caused quite a big stir.

So Zhao Mancang planned to go over and take a look.

He did not bring anyone with him, but instead flew his own fighter jet directly to southern Africa.

Southern Africa is tens of thousands of kilometers away from Beijing, so Zhao Mancang will not use the Mario M6147 passenger plane to perform flight missions, but will use fighter jets.

Only fighter jets have the fastest flying speed, exceeding Mach 3, allowing Zhao Mancang to reach southern Africa smoothly in more than three hours.

When Zhao Mancang arrived at the headquarters of Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company in South Africa, Sun Zhonghan opened his mouth wide.

"Leader, how did you get here so quickly? It seems like only five hours have passed. Aren't you in the capital?"

Beijing is so far away from South Africa, but it only takes five hours to fly here. It’s amazing. What kind of powerful aircraft is this?

"Don't worry about it. Keep this a secret." Zhao Mancang interrupted the other party and sat down and said:
"Come on, tell me in detail what you've learned so far. What exactly happened in southern Africa? How did thousands of people die or get injured?"

Although southern Africa is in chaos, thousands of deaths and injuries are no small matter.
