Chapter 369 Dialogue between Bai Weiren and Liu Lang
On the day Wan He left the Shanghai stock market, Bai Weiren called Liu Lang to his office.
"Liu Lang, come and have a cup of Coke. I heard that this American drink is your favorite!"
Bai Weiren personally opened the Coke for Liu Lang and handed it to him.
"Thank you, Mayor Bai. The Coke Company has now settled in Shanghai. Their sales here should be very good!"
It is Lin Guodong's credit for the Coke Company's entry into the Shanghai stock market, but now that Coke Company's great hero has become his subordinate, this is still a good thing for Liu Lang. He should thank the Coke Company for its lack of foresight.
"That's right, sales started in the Shanghai stock market at the end of last year, but another American cola company is also going to enter the Shanghai stock market. What is it called Bai...!"
"Better than ever!"
"Yes, it's Best. Both companies have the same drink. It tastes weird, like Chinese medicine soup. I don't know why you young people want to drink this kind of thing!"
Bai Weiren really doesn't understand.
"Actually, we also have good drinks, such as Jianlibao from Guangdong Province. Their drinks have an exclusive formula. You can quickly restore your strength after drinking them. The taste is not necessarily worse than theirs. However, both of these drinks are American brands and have unique characteristics.
With nearly a century of history and a very unique culture, and with the support of the superpower the United States, it will naturally become popular all over the world!"
Liu Lang also admires these two cola companies very much, as they have conquered the world just like the US dollar.
"Cultural heritage? This idea is very novel. Maybe this is the key to their greatness?"
Bai Weiren nodded.
"Liu Lang, do you really think that Wanan Company's chip industry can have a bright future?"
Putting the topic of drinks aside, Bai Weiren was most concerned about the affairs of Wan'an Company. Bai Weiren did not object to the country's plan to establish an electronics industrial park, and was in favor of it with both hands. However, Liu Lang proposed the industrial park.
With Wanhe's chips as the core, this puzzled Bai Weiren. In his opinion, the electronics industry is very broad, such as transistors in TVs, semiconductors in radios, etc. The country also needs these things, so why should it be specialized?
How about producing chips?
If Liu Lang makes a mistake in his judgment and this chip is not important in the future, or even worthless, then this electronics industrial park will be in vain, and the country cannot afford such a huge loss.
Bai Weiren thought so, and many people at the top of the country also thought so. He specifically asked Bai Weiren to conduct a serious investigation and finally form a written report. Therefore, while Wan He was inspecting the Shanghai stock market, the country was also
Inspect Wanhe.
"Mayor Bai, I went to the United States last year and stayed for more than a month. You should know this!"
"Of course I know. You won three gold medals in one trip to the United States. Who in our country doesn't know that?"
Bai Weiren said with a smile.
"Well, for me, the biggest reward is not the gold medal, but the discovery that the tertiary industry in the United States is about to usher in a big wave. I wrote that book based on my inspiration!"
"Good guy, you wrote this book after just one trip to the United States. What if you stayed there for a year and a half and still haven't fully understood the development situation of the world economy? A genius is a genius, and we ordinary people are really incomparable!
"
Bai Weiren said half-jokingly.
"Mayor Bai, the reason why I saw this development pattern is actually because I suddenly understood the truth after having in-depth contact with Wanan Company. Just imagine, if the number of commodities increases significantly in the future, there will inevitably be a fierce competition.
competition, so what kind of products will stand out in the same industry?”
"Of course it's high-quality and low-priced goods?"
Bai Weiren said without hesitation.
"Yes, the goods are of good quality and reasonably priced, so people will like them. So how do we make them high-quality and low-priced?"
Liu Lang asked again.
Bai Weiren also studied economics. If he were not an official, his knowledge of economics would be enough to become an economics professor at the university. It is precisely because he is an economics expert that he knows that the cost of a good product must be more than
Products of poor quality are expensive, and the so-called high quality and low price are actually just relative terms.
"This...! It should be possible to produce such a product only after productivity has been greatly improved, right?"
Bai Weiren thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, it is only when productivity has increased that we can achieve the so-called high quality and low price. Take the Volkswagen company located in Shanghai. They currently produce only more than 10,000 cars per year, which is just enough to supply Western developed countries. In the future
Facing our country with a population of more than one billion, how can we do it with the current productivity? Does it have to keep building factories? Building a hundred factories is okay, but thousands or even tens of thousands are obviously not suitable.
It’s practical, so if you want to increase production, you can only work on productivity, and the only thing that can improve productivity is automated production lines. From parts to assembly into cars, thousands of cars can be manufactured in one day. Only in this way can we satisfy the needs of the world.
Demand, and such a production line cannot be built by manpower alone, it can only rely on CNC machine tools. The core of this CNC machine tool is the control chip. Without the chip, they can't make anything!"
"Oh, so that's it!"
Bai Weiren understood immediately that Liu Lang's explanation was reasonable and very convincing.
"Wan'an's computer chip technology is at the forefront of the world. We can rely on their company to continuously make steps and always be in contact with the world's most advanced technology. As long as we can fully master the chip technology, we will be the best in the future.
The fate of industry is in our own hands.”
Liu Lang said.
"Okay! Liu Lang, what you said makes my blood boil. I believe you. The two of us will join forces and fight!"
Bai Weiren pounded the table and said loudly.
"By the way, Liu Lang, since Wanan Company is so powerful, why don't you let Wanan Company directly invest in our country? That Wanhe is a young man with only one laboratory, and his research projects can reach the best level in the world.
?”
Bai Weiren thought of another question.
"Mayor Bai, first of all, Mr. Wan'an's computer is outdated in my opinion. He is too confident. If he is overconfident, he is arrogant. He has not clearly understood the development trend of the computer industry in the world today. But Wanhe's current design
Advanced chips are the future development of the world. Although they may seem inconspicuous now, as long as they succeed, the wealth they bring will be endless... Another
Another important reason is that Wanan Company belongs to the United States. The United States has very strict control over computer technology. Our country wanted to introduce related technologies a few years ago, but the United States resolutely did not allow it. Therefore, even if Wanan Company wanted to come,
Investment in our country is also very difficult, and the laboratory in Wanhe is very inconspicuous, and they will not attract the attention of the Americans!"
Liu Lang explained.
"Liu Lang, you...I don't even know how to say good things to you. You actually know the future development trends of computers better than Wan'an. How on earth did you do this?"
Bai Weiren didn't have much contact with Liu Lang before, but today he got a taste of Liu Lang's "superpower" in just one conversation.
In addition, what shocked Bai Weiren even more was that Liu Lang's attitude towards the United States' control of China's technology exports was included. His "scheming" was far inferior to his!
