Chapter 309 Batumi and Wassenaar Agreement

"Teacher, were you almost tempted just now? You almost stayed at Lenovo!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile.

"You bastard!" Ni Guangnan glared at Jia Yapeng. "Do you think the teacher is a fool? Can't you see that Liu Chuanzhi has evil intentions?"

"Hey, I think Chairman Liu is very kind to you, and he has always reserved the position of chief engineer for you!" Jia Yapeng said.

In fact, Jia Yapeng remembered that such a paragraph was indeed recorded in later reports related to Lenovo.

Since Ni Guangnan resigned, even until 2020, Lenovo will no longer have the position of chief engineer. Ni Guangnan is indeed the only chief engineer of Lenovo from its establishment to the present more than 40 years ago. From this point of view, Lenovo

I still have a lot of affection for Liu Chuanzhi.

"Haha!" Unexpectedly, Ni Guangnan sneered a few times, and then said, "This is where Liu Chuanzhi is most skillful. You see, he no longer has the position of chief engineer. In name, it seems to be to commemorate me, but in fact

He never wants to have a second chief engineer from Lenovo, nor does he want a second Ni Guangnan to appear."

"The position of chief engineer was set when the Chinese Academy of Sciences funded the establishment of Lenovo. Only engineers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences are qualified to sit in this position. He took advantage of my opportunity to cancel the position of chief engineer. This means that the Chinese Academy of Sciences

It is no longer possible to send high-level officials to intervene in Lenovo, and Lenovo will become his own Lenovo, do you understand?"

"Suck..." Boss Jia took a breath of cold air. No matter how smart he was, there were always things he couldn't figure out. Only when Ni Guangnan woke him up did Boss Jia realize that this was really an excellent idea.

The method not only gained the name, but also completely excluded the hands of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"In addition, he no longer sets up the position of chief engineer, which also shows that he no longer wants to innovate and make breakthroughs in technology. Liu Chuanzhi has turned trade, industry and technology into Lenovo's unchanging policy. I also understand from this point

, even if I really agreed to Liu Chuanzhi and returned to the position of chief engineer, I would only become his signature and receive a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, nothing more, nothing more than chips.

, this life has been a wishful thinking!"

"Besides, you guys gave me 23 million US dollars. If I go back now, wouldn't I be cheating you?" Ni Guangnan glared at Jia Yapeng and said.

"That's okay. In fact, whether this equipment can arrive is still a problem. Although this time, for the sake of money, the Netherlands agreed to deliver the goods, but they are still very worried about Batumi's interference. This is a batch of top-notch equipment.

I'm afraid if Batumi intervenes, I might really have to return all the goods!" Jia Yapeng said with some worry.

Batumi, whose full name is the Paris Coordination Committee, is an organization secretly established by Western society in 1949 in order to restrict the development of socialist countries.

Batumi has 17 member states, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Canada, Greece, Turkey, Japan and Australia.

Because these 17 member states represented some of the most powerful and technologically advanced Western countries in the world at that time, and the purpose of these countries being grouped together was to block the scientific and technological development and economic exchanges of socialist countries.

Batumi severely restricts 9 categories including advanced materials, material processing, electronic devices, computers, telecommunications and information security, sensors and lasers, navigation and avionics instruments, ships and maritime equipment, and propulsion systems;

The other is a military goods list, covering a total of 22 categories of weapons, ammunition, equipment and combat platforms.

Why did China have to be self-reliant and do everything by itself?

In fact, it's not that China has to provide everything by itself, but that you can't buy it if you have money, and they won't sell it to you at all. In this way, they try to limit the technology of socialist countries, just like the technology lock in the Three-Body Problem.

The same, tightly locking China's technological development.

But what these countries never expected was that precisely because of their own blockade, China was forced to research and manufacture everything on its own.

China is also famous for its toughness. After 70 years of blockade, it forced China into a country with a full industrial chain, and became the only country in the world that can produce all industrial products.

What those Western countries didn't expect was that once a technological blockade was imposed on China, China would start research and development on its own, then start industrial mass production, and then sell the things at cabbage prices.

The simplest example is seamless steel pipes. At that time, seamless steel pipes were a high-precision technology. The price of one seamless steel pipe was equivalent to the price of hundreds of ordinary steel pipes. Western countries relied on seamless steel pipes to import products from other countries.

Obtaining a large amount of profits can be said to be making money while lying down.

Later, China wanted to import seamless steel pipes from abroad, so Pakistan thought, no, China would use seamless steel pipes to produce missiles, so they embargoed them and refused to sell them to China.

As a result, Huaxia was self-reliant and after arduous research and development, it produced its own seamless steel pipes.

But China couldn't use so many seamless steel pipes, so it went to the world to buy them.

The production cost of Huaxia seamless steel pipe is 6,000 yuan per ton. If they look around the world, they find that the price of seamless steel pipe is 200,000 yuan per ton, and it is still in US dollars.

So China saw that this was a great thing, and regardless of the market monopoly, it just sold it for US$100,000 per ton, cutting the price in half.

Naturally, the result is that countries all over the world are rushing to buy China's seamless steel pipes. Western countries can't stand it anymore and have lowered the price to 80,000 US dollars.

China dropped it to 50,000, the West gritted its teeth and dropped it to 30,000, China dropped to 10,000, and then nothing happened.

Because the cost of producing a ton of seamless steel pipes in Western countries is 15,000 US dollars, but in China it only costs 6,000 RMB. How can this be compared?

So in the end, the entire seamless steel pipe market became China's market. Western countries embargoed it for a long time, but their own industries were embargoed.

Closer to home, although the Soviet Union has fallen, Batumi is still there, and these large-scale electronic research equipment are all types of equipment that are clearly prohibited on Batumi's embargo list, so Boss Jia is very worried.

If you get involved, you won't be able to buy these devices back.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Batumi is basically out of business now, it's just in name!" Ni Guangnan said with a smile.

"The countries in Batumi have long realized that something is wrong. They are not so stupid as to leave China with such a huge market and profits!" Ni Guangnan explained, "And I heard that Batumi is already holding a meeting, and it seems that they are going to completely

Disband this organization in Batumi.”

It turns out that starting in the 1980s, the country of Batumi realized that something was wrong. It imposed an embargo on the country, which made China's life more prosperous, but its own profits began to be eroded by China.

As a result, Batumi began to gradually abandon the control of many items. From more than 400 control items at the beginning, it was reduced to 270 control items, and in 1987 it was reduced to 130 control items.

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, the organization Batumi completely lost its meaning of existence. Therefore, in the past year, China has imported a lot of advanced equipment from abroad, and all of them arrived safely in Hong Kong. There are basically no restrictions on Batumi.

It is in a state of shutdown, so Ni Guangnan is very confident that all these equipment can be transported safely.

"But it's wrong. How could I remember that even in 2020, there will still be a lot of embargoed items, such as lithography machines? The Netherlands is already preparing to sell a lithography machine to China, but in the end, it was still banned by the United States.

What kind of agreement was used to block it?" Jia Yapeng thought about it for a moment, and then began to frantically recall the memories in his mind.

Not to mention, relying on the body of this academic master, Jia Yapeng's originally somewhat incomplete influence was actually recalled.

It turns out that Batumi was indeed disbanded in 1993, but in 1996, based on the Batumi Agreement, another Wassenaar Agreement was established, and this agreement was much clearer, specifically restricting China's technology

developed.

"It seems like we should seize the favorable time from 1993 to 1996 to purchase a large amount of technology and equipment!" Boss Jia touched his nose and thought.

1993 and 1996 were the only blank periods. This was the most important blank period for China. However, at that time, China thought that Batumi had been disbanded and there would be no new Batumi, so they did not realize this.

The importance of the window period is that I did not spend money to purchase a large amount of precious technology or equipment.

By the time the Wassenaar Agreement was established, it was too late.

"Mr. Ni, I think you need to write a letter to the country!" Jia Yapeng solemnly said to Ni Guangnan beside him.
