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

"Changsheng, your First Ministry of Machine Building has just completed its reorganization. You are responsible for industrial and agricultural construction, as well as the sales and production of some military products. The burden is heavy. Are there any difficulties in your work at this stage?"

In the capital of Dragon Kingdom, there is an antique reception room.

The old leader was wearing an old military uniform that had been washed to a pale color, and was sitting upright on the sofa in the reception room.

Sitting next to him was Wang Changsheng, the Minister of the First Ministry of Machine Building, who had accompanied his old leader in receiving foreign guests.

After the foreign guests left, the old leader kept Wang Changsheng alone to learn in detail about the current work issues of the First Ministry of Machine Building.

Wang Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Please rest assured, old leader. We at the First Machinery Industry Ministry will uphold our tradition. We will go forward when there are difficulties, and we will also go forward when there are no difficulties, even if we create them."

The old leader said with approval: "As expected of an old comrade, I feel relieved when you say that."

"I'm keeping you here this time. In addition to discussing the work in charge of the First Ministry of Machine Building, there is another matter I want to discuss with you."

"Some time ago, Comrade Lin Kaifeng proposed that our way of earning foreign exchange should be three-pronged. We should not only attract investment and develop domestic construction, but also go global and sell our products to all parts of the world."

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng has focused on the desert areas. Some old comrades and I believe that we can take bigger steps. The desert areas are a promising market, and there is also great potential in the tropical areas of third world countries."

As soon as the words fell, Wang Changsheng immediately understood what his old leader was thinking.

It has become a consensus among senior leaders to sell various products produced by Northern Machinery Company to desert areas.

The old leader made further improvements to the suggestions put forward by Lin Kaifeng.

The tropical regions that have close ties with Dragon Country should not be ignored either.

The Dragon Kingdom has always maintained close ties with tropical countries.

In the 60s, Dragon Kingdom established diplomatic relations with more than half of the countries in the tropical region.

Entering the 70s, bilateral relations continued to grow.

With the help of a large number of poor brothers from the third world, Longguo was brought into the League of Nations and became one of the five major powers.

Wang Changsheng said tactfully: "We do need to strengthen our ties with third world countries, but their economic conditions may not allow them to afford the various products of Northern Machinery Company. You know that since Lin Kaifeng took over the county machinery factory and changed the machinery factory to Northern Machinery Company, the various products developed have one common attribute: expensive."

After hearing this, the old leader lit a cigarette and said slowly, "Northern Machinery's products are indeed expensive, and many third world countries in tropical regions do not have strong purchasing power. However, when we look at problems, we must analyze them from an objective perspective."

“Although many countries in tropical regions do not have sufficient purchasing power, they are rich in resources.”

"Exchange resources for goods?"

Wang Changsheng said tentatively.

The old leader said: "We use foreign exchange to purchase production materials and introduce production technology from abroad, which plays a vital role in domestic development, but we cannot blindly rely on these Western countries. They will strangle us anytime and anywhere."

"If we want orderly and healthy development, we must never give up self-reliance."

“The various mineral resources in tropical regions can also help domestic construction.”

"Radios, electric fans, motorcycles, these products are what tropical regions need. As long as Northern Machinery Company lowers the price, we can sell these products to tropical regions through government subsidies. Through commercial transactions, we can exchange our mineral resources from them. This is not only cooperation, but also help."

"Help third world countries to further improve their economic development and people's livelihood."

Wang Changsheng said admiringly: "Old leader, you are absolutely right. I will implement this work immediately."

"In a couple of days, I will go to the Northern Machinery Company to discuss this matter with Comrade Lin Kaifeng."

The old leader reminded: "Discussion is discussion, but we must listen carefully to the ideas of Northern Machinery Company. Times have changed. We cannot blindly use administrative orders to require Northern Machinery Company to do things according to the decisions above."

“If we want to fully invigorate the economy, we must follow market rules and respect the autonomy of enterprises.”

Dang Dang Dang.

As they were talking, someone knocked on the door of the living room.

Wang Changsheng walked to the door and opened it, and saw a staff member of the First Ministry of Machine Building standing outside.

"Minister, Lin Kaifeng, general manager of Northern Machinery Company, just called and said that the computer project has been a success and he would like to invite you to come over for a visit."

"So fast!"

Wang Changsheng was shocked.

Wang Changsheng knew that Lin Kaifeng had joined the computer project team to research new electronic computers.

It is estimated that it will take at least a year and a half for the project to come to fruition.

No one would have expected that in just one month, Lin Kaifeng and the technical experts of Northern Machinery Company successfully developed a new type of electronic computer.

The staff brought not only the good news, but also the phone records.

The above records in detail the data of the new computer developed by Northern Machinery Company.

Taking the phone record, Wang Changsheng read the contents quickly and became more shocked the more he read.

Is this still a computer?

Analyzing the data on paper, it is a completely new type of electronic device.

Wang Changsheng then walked back to his old leader and handed the phone records to him.

The old leader's expression was almost the same as Wang Changsheng's.

Everyone was shocked by the above content.

The computer that Lin Kaifeng described is completely different from traditional computers.

"Changsheng, let's go to Beifeng Machinery Company to broaden our horizons and see what big satellite Comrade Lin Kaifeng has launched for us."

The old leader showed great interest.

Not only do several major industrial ministries know about it, but Northern Machinery Company is accustomed to doing things that ordinary people dare not think of.

We often develop unexpected products without the knowledge of the department, and the old leaders have heard about it a lot.

It is said that seeing is better than hearing a hundred times.

No matter how detailed the content of the phone call is, it is not as real as seeing it with your own eyes.

Northern Machinery Company borrowed a large number of technical personnel from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, including semiconductor experts and leaders in the electronic computer industry.

The company itself has huge financial support.

The value created by the combination of technical experts and large amounts of capital is bound to be astonishing.

Wang Changsheng thought for a moment and asked carefully, "Old leader, should we notify Lin Kaifeng in advance and let him prepare for the reception?"

"There's no need for that. If we notify them in advance, the Northern Machinery Company will be in a state of panic and stop their work to wait for us."

The old leader smiled faintly and said, "We are here to visit, not to inspect work. There is no need to make a big fuss."

That being said.

The news that the old leader was going to inspect the Northern Machinery Company still caused quite a stir among the upper echelons.
