Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Please don't misunderstand, General Manager Lin. We are not rushing you. We just want the large aircraft project to complete the final research work as soon as possible."

Knowing that Lin Kaifeng has been busy with work recently, Professor Song would not bother him if possible.

But it couldn't withstand the urgent requests of the crowd.

You can only come and ask in person.

After twelve years of research, the domestic large aircraft project has completed 70% of the entire project.

The remaining 30% becomes the key challenge.

In terms of external equipment, large aircraft require large forging machines and five-axis CNC machine tools, but in terms of internal systems, there are more problems.

Every problem in avionics, communications, control, radar, etc. is a huge problem that troubles everyone.

To solve these problems, high-performance electronic computers are indispensable.

Electronic computers can not only perform calculations and analysis, but can also undertake a large amount of work that cannot be done by human labor.

Manual drawing is inefficient and requires hundreds or even thousands of people to do this work.

Even so, there are still problems such as inadequate design.

The Scientific Research Institute of the Northern Machinery Company gathered a large number of computer and semiconductor experts from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

Lin Kaifeng himself attaches great importance to this department and continuously invests funds in it.

With the funding in place, Professor Song believes that these researchers will be able to achieve major technological breakthroughs.

In terms of computer research, China started almost at the same time as the West.

More than a year ago, the relevant technical personnel of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building were already able to manufacture large computers.

Lin Kaifeng assured: "Professor Song, I promise you personally that I will produce a computer that satisfies you in one month. Don't worry, I will never break my promise."

"At present, you and everyone should focus on UAV research. The Yunshi aircraft is our Dragon Country's national treasure, and the UAV is our golden key to open the desert commercial market. Both are indispensable. Without sufficient funds, the large aircraft project will not be able to complete the final research."

Professor Song nodded and said, "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, I have remembered everything you said. The drone research is proceeding in an orderly manner and will definitely not delay your work."

After seeing Professor Song off, Lin Kaifeng stretched lazily.

Even if there were no large aircraft projects and other scientific research, Lin Kaifeng would step up his research on electronic computers.

In 1980, Apple launched the third generation of personal computers.

A year later, IBM launched their personal computer.

The development of computers has reached a critical period of transformation from scientific research equipment to personal equipment.

The term personal computer has officially appeared.

Once the United States completes its industrial transformation, it will invest unprecedented attention in the computer field.

Companies in the island nation will also strengthen their computer research.

Computer work really cannot be delayed any longer.

Having made up his mind, Lin Kaifeng convened an emergency meeting, handed over all the work at hand to others, and concentrated his energy for a month to join the computer project team.

On the one hand, he takes command and coordinates the entire project.

On the one hand, it acts as a think tank to solve a series of technical problems that scientific researchers cannot solve.

now.

Northern Machinery Company has both the people and the funds.

If you need equipment, you have all the necessary equipment.

With the advanced technical theories provided by Lin Kaifeng, one month is more than enough.

……

"Mr. President, in the words of the Dragon people, this is called retribution."

"The island nations thought that we couldn't live without them, so they pretended to obey official orders but actually disobeyed them. Now, they are finally getting their comeuppance."

On the other side of the ocean, the office of the president of Best Buy Group.

Joseph placed a newspaper in front of President Steve.

Mocking the island country with glee and engaging in a price war with American companies is like shooting oneself in the foot.

The island country waged a price war with Best Buy Group at all costs. Faced with repeated warnings from US officials, the island country's companies only restrained themselves slightly.

The US officials could no longer tolerate this and resorted to their strongest weapon: sanctions.

Today, newspapers across the United States published the latest official decision on their front pages.

Starting today, the United States will conduct a dumping investigation on several Japanese electrical appliance companies, led by Sony Group.

It is believed that the price war waged by the island country has reached prices far below the factory cost of household appliances.

in other words.

The island country sells home appliances to the American people at prices below factory cost, attempting to disrupt market order through dumping.

President Steve glanced at the newspaper on the desk and said, "The island country being sanctioned is what we want to see most. The dumping investigation of the island country's companies will not only stop this meaningless price war, but also reduce the share of their exports to the United States."

“As long as Northern Machinery continues to supply us with home appliances, the group’s strengths will always remain.”

President Steve smiled faintly and said, "You have done an excellent job in this matter. When the group goes public, you will definitely benefit from it."

"Thank you, Mr. President."

Joseph said with a smile: "Mr. President, our cooperation with Northern Machinery Company will continue. They cannot do without our funds, and we cannot do without their low-priced products."

"In order to consolidate the fruits of victory, I think it is time for us to sound the clarion call for a counterattack at this stage."

Hearing this, President Steve's face changed.

"You plan to sell Northern Machinery's household appliances to the island nation?"

Joseph said bluntly: "Mr. President, the large companies in the island country are being investigated by our country. While they are busy with their own business, we will sell electrical appliances to the island country. This will not only pave the way for the group to open up the island country market, but also make us heroes in the American business community, which is beneficial to the group's listing work."

"It's best to discuss this matter with Mr. Lin."

President Steve did not comment.

There are many uncontrollable issues when selling home appliances to island countries.

It is true that island companies are being investigated, but that does not mean they do not have the power to fight back.

"Mr. President, I plan to go to Dragon Country next month. What do you think?"

"can."

President Joseph said: "When the threat from the island country as a competitor has been reduced to the lowest level, it is time for us to make full efforts. The group needs more electrical appliances and more product categories."

"Northern Machinery Company has strong product research and development capabilities. You can talk to Lin Kaifeng and see if they can provide us with a batch of washing machines and refrigerators with excellent performance next year."

"The demand for the two products is growing. In the past, the market share of the two products has always been controlled by the island countries. Now the companies of the island countries are in big trouble. We must immediately seize the market vacuum they have left behind."

Compared with Joseph's suggestion to counterattack the island country market, President Joseph believes that the US market should be stabilized first.

We'll talk about other arrangements later.
