After the switch, Ericsson's base station was purchased from China, and a stainless steel heat sink cost US$2,000.
You can't do without it. At this price, it must be sold with matching accessories.
Later, Huawei made its own base station, but it was not easy to use at first. But the foreign heat sink only costs 500 yuan... which is still a soft currency.
Later, it was just a piece of stainless steel and was simply given away for free.
American General's medical equipment is very good. If you buy its X-ray machine in China, the light bulb inside is made of domestic products. But if the light bulb is broken, you can't repair it yourself, let alone sell the same domestic product to replace it.
Even if you know that you will spend a lot of money, you still have to spend a lot of money to purchase your own domestic light bulbs from General Motors, otherwise the entire X-ray machine will not be under warranty.
Toilet paper boxes on Boeing airliners must be standard parts from the original manufacturer. In the early 1990s, the price of that paper box was US$300.
If you like to buy, buy. If you don’t buy, get out!
If you dare to use other cartons instead, it must not meet the airworthiness standards. Be careful if an air crash occurs, Boeing declares that it is not responsible.
If a country does not have its own manufacturing industry, it may not be beaten, but it cannot escape being slaughtered.
But technological development needs to be gradual.
Without diamonds, it would be impossible to get the porcelain job.
In the 1980s, China's grain and chemical fiber production began to increase sharply. People's rice bowls became abundant and clothing fabrics became plentiful. The reason was due to the implementation of the "April Three Plan" in the 1970s.
In the early 1970s, relations between the country and the West eased. Taking advantage of the economic crisis and the rush for export, complete sets of chemical fiber and fertilizer equipment were introduced from many European and American countries.
Because the initial plan was to cost US$4.3 billion, this introduction work was called the "Four Three Plan."
This was US$4.3 billion in the 1970s. It was even rarer than the US$430 billion in later generations. Basically, I had to tighten my belt and cut my stomach to get such a sum of money.
Is it worth the money? It’s so worth it!
If we just rely on our own research, God knows how much time, manpower and material resources will be spent? People can't be hungry all the time and wear imported Japanese fertilizer bags as pants, right?
Zhou Qingfeng refused to give life to nine-axis high-end machine tools directly for the country, and insisted on forcing domestic companies to assemble and make progress. He just knew that human nature is lazy and cannot directly provide benefits.
Some people must ask, why not import chemical fertilizer technology from the Soviet Union?
Because the Soviet Union was just too lazy, and its chemical industry was in shambles!
The Soviet Union was rich in oil resources and had a large output. However, its refining capabilities were extremely poor. Even thirty years after its disintegration, it did not have the ability to produce complete sets of petroleum refining equipment.
On the contrary, China was so poor back then that in order to save money, it had to desperately try to digest and absorb the imported technology and establish its own independent large-scale chemical industry system.
Zhou Qingfeng once again set his sights on the Soviet Union's Tu-154. Some state-owned enterprises and scientific research units were quite ambitious and figured out his tactics, and sent people over to prepare to make a fortune together.
It was not convenient for this group of people to join the 'Holy Light', so they all joined the advisory group. Even the National Science and Technology Commission sent a director who was familiar with domestic technical capabilities to provide "technical guidance" to Zhou Qingfeng.
As long as the consultant comes, there will be two benefits after the meeting. One is "imported health products" to regulate the body, and the other is "thinking storm" to enhance knowledge.
These two benefits are a powerful tool to significantly improve the technical level of the 'Holy Light', allowing important employees within the group to significantly improve their physical and abilities.
In particular, veteran consultants often have a solid foundation and outstanding intelligence. After eliminating diseases and improving their physical constitution, the 'thinking storm' allows them to draw parallels between each other and their knowledge skyrockets again.
Mechanical experts understand electronic technology, electronic experts master material science, material experts understand the latest technology, and coordinate and lead to control front-line situations.
Erin used modern pharmaceutical technology to improve the 'Fox's Cunning', allowing the effect of this alchemical potion to be released slowly, with the effect lasting for half an hour without straining the brain as much as possible.
In this half hour, senior researchers and even scientists were mass-produced.
Veteran consultants can exchange their knowledge and experience for most of their lives with each other within the link network. Even ordinary technicians can be promoted to elite intellectuals after exchanges.
Some outstanding old consultants, after being seven or eight years younger, their physical strength has greatly improved, their intelligence has returned to its peak, and they can become subject leaders.
After drinking the health supplements provided by Zhou Qingfeng, I experienced half an hour of "thinking storm". Although Director Ma, who presided over the meeting, felt that his brain was tired, his spirit was very high.
The consultants who participated in the meeting felt that time passed very quickly, as if they had experienced a communication that lasted for several years. Today's seminar was very fruitful and beneficial.
Director Ma smiled and asked Zhou Qingfeng: "How does Mr. Zhou plan to get started with the passenger aircraft trade? If you need any help, just ask. Your status is different now, so the ministry can give the green light."
Zhou Qingfeng glanced at Xiao Jinlang, and Xiao leaned forward and answered on his behalf: "We have contacted the Soviet negotiators and obtained a copy of the contract negotiated between the Nande Group and the Soviet side."
Director Ma was surprised when he heard the first sentence. He could understand the first sentence, but the second sentence surprised him, "How did you get this person's contract?"
Business contracts are confidential and bottom line.
Since 1989, the Soviet Union and the South German Group have been negotiating for this deal for a long time and will not leak it easily.
Xiao Jinlang chuckled a few times, "We spent a little money to get it from within the Nande Group.
Mou Zhongzhi didn't have the foreign exchange to buy four passenger planes. He didn't even have enough cash to purchase goods, so he could only borrow money from everywhere.
For example, he purchased 240,000 sheets, sheets, quilt covers, and pillowcases on credit from the Weifang Sheet Factory in Shandong. He also obtained 160,000 pairs of nylon socks from the Shijiazhuang Sock Factory.
These are the backlogs of state-owned enterprises. They are of poor quality and have no sales in the country. Otherwise, they would not be easily given to Mou Zhongzhi for processing on credit.
There are many similar things, such as mobilizing a large number of canned goods from Sichuan.
We also obtained the lowest price from the Soviet side.
The Kuibyshev Aircraft Factory could no longer hold on. These Tu-154s were sold very cheaply, only costing US$8 million each. The price of the same type of passenger aircraft in the West was US$40 million.
So we went straight to the Soviet negotiators, offered better contract conditions, and promised a certain rebate in U.S. dollars."
rebate?
Director Ma laughed and said, "You guys are doing such a big loss that you actually gave me a kickback? How much?"
"Not much. Calculated based on the progress of the negotiations. To sever the contract with South Germany, we will give each of the relevant personnel US$3,000. If the entire transaction is completed, the total rebate will not exceed US$200,000."
After Xiao Jinlang finished speaking, he smiled proudly. He was an old reporter, so he knew the ropes here very well.
Director Ma smiled bitterly after hearing this.
Two hundred thousand dollars is a lot.
"In fact, our ministry is also thinking about how to contact the Soviet side, but we can only talk about friendship with the other party, but we can't talk about money.
Foreign exchange funds cannot be approved at all.
We really can't learn your method of throwing money away, so we can only come to you for cooperation."
Xiao Jinlang hummed happily, "Cooperation is the best. We, Mr. Zhou, like to cooperate."
