Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Lu Changsheng's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly felt that the place he was standing in was not a laboratory, but a battlefield.

These continuously arriving researchers are the soldiers who overcome difficulties and catch up with the West.

Perhaps they are too young and inexperienced, lacking extensive knowledge and experience.

Perhaps they lack heavy weaponry and sufficient supplies, and therefore do not have such strong sustained firepower.

but……

They're young!

They are fearless!

They dared to come together and challenge the pinnacle of technology!

Even if they shed blood and sweat, even if their bodies are piled up, they have no fear and no regrets!

The power of ten people is limited.

Then let's have a hundred people, or a thousand people.

Ten thousand people are not enough, then let's have one hundred thousand, or even a million!

China has plenty of people!

As long as we are united, there is nothing that the people of China cannot accomplish.

Think back to those days.

Impoverished and destitute, having just driven out the imperial powers, the economy was in ruins, industry was weak, and hundreds of millions of ordinary people couldn't even get enough to eat.

However, in order to avoid being blackmailed by nuclear weapons, and to prevent the Chinese people, who had finally stood up, from being knocked down again by the great powers with atomic bombs.

Hundreds of millions of Chinese people tightened their belts and devoted themselves to crazy scientific research, exhausting the nation's resources.

Didn't they also develop the atomic and hydrogen bombs and satellites, so that China would no longer be afraid of nuclear deterrence?

And now.

The West is in a leading position in the field of electronic technology.

They also used various methods to suppress and restrict the development of the Dragon Kingdom.

But what's there to be afraid of?

Are Westerners human beings, but people from China aren't?

Are you saying that the Chinese can't handle the high technology they can create?

It's 2000 now, and China's economy, industry, education, science and technology are far more advanced than they were decades ago.

With conditions improving and the dot-com bubble bursting, the Western electronics and technology industry will likely experience a downturn for two or three years.

If we don't seize this opportunity to narrow the gap and strive to overtake them, we won't succeed.

How much longer do we have to wait?

"Dry!"

"I support you!"

"If we want to prosper and become strong, we must vigorously develop electronic technology!"

"Looking at the recent local wars instigated by the United States, it is enough to prove that the future will be a high-tech war based on information technology!"

"If we don't vigorously develop electronic technology, we won't be able to build stealth fighters and precision-guided munitions, and the tragedy of the embassy being bombed will happen again!"

After setting down the large and bulky domestically produced processor, Lu Changsheng looked at Zhao Ruilong with admiration in his eyes.

A son of a powerful and wealthy family.

They don't want to work in monopolistic industries and live an easy and comfortable life.

They also do not want to use their power and background to easily make big money through power-money transactions.

Instead, we should focus on electronics technology, develop advanced products, and drive domestic technological progress and economic development...

Such an ambitious scion of a powerful family naturally impressed Lu Changsheng.

"Uncle, let me take you somewhere else!"

"Once we get there, you'll understand how eager I am to get there."

After Zhao Ruilong finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation.

"Okay, I need to take a good look at the places that make you so eager!"

After leaving the laboratory, the two headed towards the stairwell.

As soon as he reached the first floor, Zhao Ruilong suddenly stopped.

"Accountant Cheng, what brings you in?"

Cheng Anwen, who was called to a stop, was taken aback for a moment.

"I'm here to deliver the payroll. It's almost the end of the month, and the R&D department hasn't sent anyone to pick it up, so I'm bringing it to them!"

"is it?"

Zhao Ruilong gave Cheng Anwen a wary look.

He wore black-rimmed glasses, dressed simply, and had a kind smile on his face.

He gives off a very honest vibe, much like a village cadre from the 1980s.

I walked up to him, took the payslip, and looked through it.

"Why don't you just make a phone call and ask them to send someone to pick it up? Why do you have to come all the way here yourself?"

“We’re all colleagues, and they’re all so busy with work, so it’s no problem for me to help deliver it.”

Cheng Anwen smiled honestly.

Zhao Ruilong frowned and asked, "The laboratory building and the office building aren't together, how do you know they're busy?"

Cheng Anwen was stunned.

"I...I heard that they work overtime until very late every day, and their meals are even delivered to their door."

Zhao Ruilong nodded slightly.

"They are quite busy, but if anything happens in the future, you can just call them. There's no need to make the trip in person."

"Didn't you see the sign at the entrance that says 'Non-R&D personnel are prohibited from entering'? Go back now, and remember, don't let this happen again!"

Cheng Anwen nodded repeatedly, then turned and left with an apologetic smile.

"Uncle, please wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

"Go!"

Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back.

I glanced at Accountant Cheng as she walked out of the laboratory building.

Then I saw Zhao Ruilong running briskly towards the R&D department office.

A faint smile played on his lips as he murmured to himself:

"This kid is pretty vigilant!"

A short while later, Zhao Ruilong returned.

"I'll get a set of access control systems installed for all departments in the company, and people from different departments will be strictly prohibited from visiting each other's offices."

"Especially this R&D department, which not only has new products under development, but also a lot of important instruments and equipment!"

Lu Changsheng said without a smile:

"The business world is like a battlefield; information confidentiality is extremely important!"

Zhao Ruilong nodded in deep agreement.

"Yes, but the company is currently in a phase of rapid expansion, and I'm frantically recruiting talent both domestically and internationally."

"Whether someone has real talent or not can be found out with a test, but whether they have ulterior motives is not so easy to verify."

Lu Changsheng quickly said, "You must take the matter of secrecy very seriously!"

"If you lack manpower and experience, I can recommend some people to you."

Zhao Ruilong was overjoyed.

"Okay! Great!"

"The person you recommended is definitely fine!"

"They can all go through layers of screening and contribute to the defense of our country."

"Those who come to me will definitely be extremely loyal and dutiful, and won't let any villains succeed!"

Lu Changsheng laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. There are some who change their ways before they even leave the military."

These words are very meaningful!

Zhao Ruilong smiled knowingly.

"It's okay, at least relatively speaking, their loyalty is higher!"

While talking.

The two arrived at the warehouse.

Thanks to Zhao Ruilong's modifications, this place has been automated.

Lu Changsheng thought that Zhao Ruilong wanted him to see just how efficient an automated warehouse could be.

Only after hearing the introduction did I realize that they wanted me to see how many imported components were used in the assembled computers they produced for various internet cafes.

From the warehouse to the production workshop, workers work in an assembly line fashion, quickly assembling and debugging computers one by one before packing and shipping them out.

Since its opening, Huilong Chain Internet Cafe has been booming, with computers in high demand, attracting many people to join the franchise.

Because once you become a franchisee, you don't need to worry about anything such as store decoration, staff training, equipment procurement, operation and maintenance.

This convenient and hassle-free franchise model allows many business owners who want to invest in the internet cafe industry but don't even know anything about computers to easily enter the business.

"Uncle, the batch of computers you see here is about to be shipped to Linjiang Province."

“We have 34 Huilong chain internet cafes over there that urgently need to install a total of 100 computers so that they can start operating before the Spring Festival.”

"As our Huilong chain internet cafes become more and more popular, we estimate that there will be tens of thousands of branches operating all over the country. Just imagine how many computers that will require?"

Lu Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine.

With over thirty companies, that would require more than ten thousand computers.

So what if there were 10,000 internet cafes across the country?

That would require two or three million units, wouldn't it?

And this is just one of Huilong chain internet cafes.

There will inevitably be people who don't want to join and want to buy their own computers and work independently.

In addition, more and more enterprises, institutions, and individuals are purchasing computers...

The annual demand for computers in China is bound to experience explosive growth in the future.

"Think about it again. If the core components of computers worth millions of dollars, such as CPUs, graphics cards, hard drives, and memory modules, are all imported from abroad, wouldn't foreign companies make a fortune?"

"Therefore, I am particularly eager for our numerous domestic manufacturers to unite and cooperate, invest heavily, and quickly localize various electronic components so that we can seize market opportunities and rapidly grow stronger!"

"After all, with the advancement of technology, more and more industrial products will become digital and information-based. For example, mobile phones will definitely be ultra-small but high-performance computers in the future, capable of installing various software, taking photos and videos, and having a wide variety of functions."

"If we do not attach importance to the electronic information industry now, do not lay a solid foundation, do not seize the market, and do not form a sustainable industry-academia-research system, then in the future, if we want to catch up with the West, we will face numerous difficulties and be subject to various blockades, suppression, and sanctions!"

Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his pupils slightly constricted.

An invisible killing intent suddenly arose.

"Time is of the essence, and there is no time to lose!"

"Okay, call your dad right now, and we'll schedule a time to have a serious talk."

"If you two rely on your high-stakes gamble, I'm afraid we'll miss out on development opportunities. For the sake of national prosperity and progress, and for the military to achieve informatization as soon as possible, I, Lu Changsheng, am willing to take a gamble with you!"
