Chapter 177, First Class Merit Medal (please vote for me)
Five million US dollars is a huge amount of money, whether it is Fairchild Semiconductor or Siemens, it is a large amount of money.
Upon hearing Noyce's question, the other seven Fairchild Semiconductor shareholders fell silent.
Neither Blank nor Gordon Moore wanted to talk.
If they could complain, they would like to say a few words starting with F to the person in charge of China Resources Corporation and greet them well: Who the hell came up with this bad idea?
Over the past few months, Fairchild Semiconductor has successfully developed the chip.
Using masked photolithography, one hundred micron transistors, capacitors, resistors, etc. were successfully etched on the wafer to create a chip.
Although the cost is quite high, Fairchild Semiconductor still made a lot of money.
After all, Ector Mochley Computer Company readily paid the two million US dollars directly, and several computer companies such as IBM were also happy to pay the balance.
It can be said that in this wave of business, Fairchild Semiconductor also made tens of millions.
However, as shareholders, everyone wants to earn more.
You know, the reason why Noyce and the other eight people left Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in the first place was because they had no money.
This is how people are, the less money they have, the more they want to make money.
Especially in today's semiconductor industry, the situation is becoming more and more turbulent. If Fairchild Semiconductor Company did not have a sense of crisis, it would have directly distributed all the more than 10 million US dollars it earned as dividends.
Haha, I'm afraid Fairchild Semiconductor will be the next one to go bankrupt.
For Noyce and others who are still in their twenties and thirties, life has just begun. Of course, they would not think that the hundreds of thousands of dollars distributed would allow them to achieve financial freedom.
Fairchild Semiconductor still has several shareholders, but they are not involved in the day-to-day management of the company.
But when it comes to dividing the money, you must definitely give it to them.
Noyce, who was impoverished at the time, was able to successfully establish Fairchild Semiconductor and grow to its current level without the help of those shareholders.
It is very difficult to get rid of them now.
Not long after he got more than 10 million US dollars, but now he has to take it out, no matter who it is, he will not make the decision easily.
Suddenly, Noyce suggested:
"How about we consult other companies and join forces to place an order?"
As soon as these words came out, some people happily expressed their agreement, while others raised objections after thinking about it:
"Regardless of whether the cooperation can be achieved, even if it is achieved, we still need to spend a lot of money, and how many suitable companies should we find?"
"If we join forces with Texas Instruments, IBM, etc., there will be too many companies by then, and just wrangling will be enough time."
"In addition, 50-micron transistors are already very, very small. With our current mask lithography technology, we are afraid that we will not be able to complete chip manufacturing in a short period of time."
"So, no matter what, we need to think carefully about this difficulty."
Greenick's words woke everyone up.
It is true that the 50-micron transistor announced by China Resources Corporation is indeed shocking and desirable.
But you also have to act within your capabilities.
Smaller transistors mean more transistors can be stacked on the chip.
The more transistors in a chip, the more powerful the performance improvement will be for computers.
Powerful computer performance can naturally be sold at a higher price, which is profit.
Everyone can see the profit, so will others also compete for it?
Secondly, whether it is Texas Instruments or IBM, these companies are very wealthy companies, which are very different from Fairchild Semiconductor.
You know, IBM already occupied 80% of the . computer market last year.
Revenue in the first half of this year reached one billion . dollars, and net profit reached 101 million . dollars.
He is a giant, so he will definitely not take five million US dollars seriously.
Texas Instruments is also a very wealthy company. It was established in the 1930s, and then directly entered the field of defense electronics through geological exploration technology in the 1950s.
Then began research on infrared and radar systems.
Even the transistor logic integrated circuits were developed by Texas Instruments, not Fairchild Semiconductor or IBM.
In other words, the strength of this company is definitely very powerful.
It's just five million dollars, and it won't be taken lightly.
Therefore, Fairchild Semiconductor must be cautious when cooperating with such a large company.
For a moment, Noyce and others in the conference room all looked sad.
Unlike Fairchild Semiconductor, Siemens came directly to Liu Guanzhong and ordered 10,000 50-micron transistors.
Facing such a generous and generous customer, Liu Guanzhong was stunned.
Just because before, when he received news from the capital, he communicated with the capital for several rounds.
Five hundred dollars per transistor is too expensive. How about reducing the price by one hundred dollars?
The minimum sales requirement of 10,000 pieces is too strong. I’m afraid no one will buy it by then. Isn’t this annoying!
However, the capital side said: This is the decision and cannot be changed!
What I want is that they don’t buy it!
After all, if they don’t buy it, they can only develop it themselves.
If you develop it yourself, it will cost more time and money, which will definitely be a huge blow.
If a competitor purchases transistors from China Resources, should other companies buy them?
If you don't buy it, others may take away this market.
For example, if IBM wants to maintain its market position, it will definitely need to make purchases.
If someone secretly found China Resources and bought the transistors, it would probably take some time before IBM could get the transistors.
This is the case in business competition. If you don't want to make progress, if you are caught up by others and take away the market, don't blame others.
This is a clear conspiracy, it depends on how these companies bite the dog.
Anyway, the Mainland side is definitely sitting on Diaoyutai.
After all, if they don’t buy it, the mainland won’t suffer any loss.
And if they buy it, it will definitely be a bloody profit.
The cost of making a 50-micron transistor is no longer the previous ten yuan, but 20 yuan.
Simply because it is difficult to train technicians to manufacture transistors, which requires time and cost, and the loss of raw materials is also relatively large.
Therefore, for now, the cost of twenty yuan is enough to make the mainland feel distressed.
If we also calculate the costs of Zhenhua Research Institute, it will be even more.
Even so, twenty yuan compared to five hundred US dollars, the mainland is certainly making money.
One . dollar is equivalent to RMB, and five hundred . dollars is equivalent to 1,230 RMB.
Shipping from the capital to Hong Kong Island may cost a few cents more in terms of tolls.
But compared to RMB 1,230, that’s a very small cost.
Therefore, facing the extremely powerful capital, Liu Guanzhong could only execute orders.
But he still maintains his opinion and does not think that there will be any fools who will purchase such transistors.
As a result, he received an order from Siemens today.
After confirming with the other party again and again, Liu Guanzhong accepted the other party's order with excitement and joy.
"Excuse me, when can I get the goods?"
After paying the deposit, the representative of Siemens immediately asked.
"We will deliver the goods to your company in one week."
"Okay, I can ask again. Have any other companies placed orders before we came here?"
Hearing this, Liu Guanzhong hesitated for a moment. This was really difficult to answer.
However, his hesitation made the other party notice something.
Therefore, Siemens left China Resources with a smile and said nothing.
As long as their Siemens company gets the goods first, that's enough.
Perhaps the scientific research strength in North America is very strong, but West Germany in Europe is not bad either.
Although after World War II, West Germany was fragmented.
But if there is a chance to call, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
What's more, Siemens itself has retained many scientific researchers, and has gradually caught up in the past ten years of development.
The semiconductor industry has only been around for thirteen years, and the computer industry hasn't been around for that long either.
Therefore, from this point of view, Siemens is not much worse than IBM, Texas Instruments and other companies.
On the contrary, due to the emergence of 50-micron transistors this time, Siemens believes that this is an excellent opportunity to achieve overtaking in corners.
why?
It was not because of the emergence of integrated circuits that Siemens realized that smaller transistors were more important in enhancing computer performance.
Large-scale integrated circuits are the future of computers, and smaller transistors are the future.
Therefore, for the same chip, the smaller the transistor size, the better its performance.
Computers developed in this way are also more competitive in the market.
Even at the supercomputer level in aerospace, military and other fields, such chips are more attractive.
On the third day after Siemens placed the order, IBM appeared.
IBM, a company with deep pockets, said that they would order 20,000 pieces, but the price could not be US$500 each and the price needed to be reduced.
Liu Guanzhong shook his head directly and rejected the other party with confidence.
why?
Anyway, with the order from Siemens, no matter whether other companies come to purchase later, the mainland has already made a profit.
Such a strong refusal will generally only have two results.
One is that IBM leaves directly and no longer orders.
Perhaps if this is the case, China Resources will suffer losses, but this is not the case.
Because Siemens, this troublemaker, will definitely disrupt the global transistor market, or to be more precise, the chip market.
Siemens, which had access to fifty-micron transistors long before all other competitors, could definitely develop better-performing chips faster.
Then Siemens will definitely take these chips with excellent performance to occupy the market.
Ten thousand transistors is already a lot. One chip can only hold two to three hundred transistors inside.
Excluding losses, etc., as long as Siemens' strength is not too bad, there will be absolutely no problem in manufacturing ten chips.
IBM, on the other hand, can only use chips with only a few dozen transistors to compete with Siemens, which has two to three hundred transistor chips.
There is no doubt that this is the result of hitting an egg against a stone.
Therefore, if IBM does not agree with China Resources' price of $500 for a transistor, then they can only go one way: develop it themselves!
But if they could develop it themselves, they would have already obtained 100-micron transistors starting from January this year.
As of July now, their capabilities are really that strong, and they should have been developed long ago.
In fact, as of now, IBM's R&D team has only completed 30% of technological breakthroughs.
Texas Instruments is a little faster, at 40 percent.
Even so, if you want to complete the remaining 60%, you may not be able to do it without half a year or a year.
Unless the laboratories of IBM, Fairchild Semiconductor, Texas Instruments and other companies join forces to conduct research and development simultaneously.
It may be possible to shorten it to three to five months.
But, this is simply impossible.
Because these companies, in the semiconductor field, are in a competitive relationship, not a cooperative relationship.
The other one is that IBM promised a price of US$500 each.
For China Resources, this is certainly something to be happy about.
The other party directly said that they wanted 20,000 50-micron transistors, which actually revealed their own purpose.
For this reason, Liu Guanzhong's attitude is of course very strong.
Not to mention that the capital has already made it clear that the price cannot be reduced, and the minimum price must be 10,000 pieces.
In fact, if you just sell one piece, it's not impossible. It's just five million pieces. I believe there should be many companies willing to pay, right?
After all, everyone is out to do business, and they are not fools.
The reason why China Resources has set a minimum sales price of 10,000 pieces is because it is afraid that these companies will only buy one and then take it back for research.
As for patents, haha, when profits are not enough, patents come to make up for it.
Besides, Hong Kong Island and North America are separated by the Pacific Ocean. If China Resources Company files a patent lawsuit with others, it will definitely be beyond its reach and a thankless task.
So, there's not much to say about that.
They are all smart people, so there is no need to test them so much.
In a word, buy it or not buy it!
If you haven't thought it through yet, go back and think it over carefully before talking about it.
Just like Yumon Saburo, who came to China Resources for consultation several times some time ago.
Saburo Yumon is the vice president of Tokyo Communications Industry Co., Ltd., and his status is still very high.
But even so, it is still very painful to face the price of transistors starting at 500 US dollars and selling starting at 10,000 pieces.
He also cried poor in front of Liu Guanzhong several times, but these little tricks were of no use.
Anyway, as of today, Yumon Saburo has not made up his mind whether to place an order, which makes Liu Guanzhong not want to see him anymore.
Patrick, the representative of IBM, suppressed his inner anger and looked at Liu Guanzhong coldly.
He gritted his teeth and said:
"Mr. Liu, how many transistors do we need to order before you are willing to lower the price? You must know that business cannot be so rigid, otherwise, it is easy to lose partners."
When Liu Guanzhong heard this, he felt funny in his heart.
It’s not like labor and management are begging you to come and purchase. The notice has already made it clear that there will be no bargaining!
What about partners?
When you instituted the economic blockade, I haven't settled this account with you yet.
Now Heru in the north wants to cut off relations with the mainland and let the mainland fend for itself.
Businessmen from London, New York and other places who saw the opportunity came to Hong Kong Island one after another, and then went to Baiyun City to engage in business cooperation.
They were pretty good at it. They just put on a shell, similar to a white glove, and headed to Baiyun City from Garden City, Medan Island, Hong Kong Island and other places.
As we all know, monopoly businesses are the most profitable.
But monopoly business is not easy to find unless you look for it in the criminal law.
In addition to the monopoly business, that is the independent business, which is definitely a good part.
Therefore, these businessmen who came from London, New York and other places supported their agents to go to the mainland because they were interested in the cheaper raw materials here.
Doing business requires controlling costs, and the mainland is such a big place with so many resources and low labor costs.
Therefore, it is definitely the best to do business with them.
Liu Guanzhong is based here on Hong Kong Island. How could he not know about these business practices?
Therefore, at this time, faced with the threat from IBM representative Patrick, he only responded politely:
"Patrick, let me reiterate, our prices will not change, no matter how many thousands of transistors you order, the prices will not change."
"What if we just choose to order one?"
"Sorry, the minimum order is 10,000 pieces"
"Why can't you ask your leaders? What if they agree to order one? We can increase the price!"
Hearing this, Liu Guanzhong suddenly became impatient.
His temper has calmed down a lot over the years.
After all, as the general manager of China Resources Company, his identity is no longer a general of some army, but a businessman.
Businessmen need to be more diplomatic.
Harmony brings wealth!
But Patrick, this bastard, is even more difficult to deal with than Saburo Yumon.
Forget it, I'm not feeling well today, so I won't receive the other party.
After Patrick left, Liu Guanzhong immediately contacted the mainland.
The content of the telegram was struck in the hands of the telegraph operator and quickly transmitted to the mainland through electronic waves.
In the Mainland, through layers of transmission, the information quickly reached the hands of Mr.
"One?"
The gentleman who was about to refuse suddenly hesitated.
Then he picked up the phone and called Chen Guohua from Zhenhua Research Institute.
After receiving the call, the latter immediately smiled and said:
"Leader, if there is really a big fat sheep asking, then quote them a price of five million US dollars, which is the same as the total price of 10,000 pieces."
"Haha, okay, I get it."
When the gentleman heard this, he immediately became happy.
He is a leader who listens carefully to the suggestions of his subordinates, so he chose to call Chen Guohua.
What's more, Chen Guohua's previous suggestions have proved that his suggestions are correct.
The price of one piece is five million . dollars, or the price is five million . dollars and 10,000 pieces. Any fool knows how to choose.
This answer can be regarded as blocking Patrick's other ideas.
Either cooperate honestly or get out, there is no second choice. China Resources Corporation, which occupies an absolutely dominant position, does have the confidence to speak like this.
Therefore, in the end, IBM had to swallow this bad breath.
What's even more interesting is that I don't know what the other party thought, but IBM actually ordered 30,000 transistors.
Maybe, probably, they are thinking of getting more orders and delaying other companies?
No matter what, after Liu Guanzhong got the order from IBM, he immediately reported the good news to the capital.
When Mr. Wu found out, he was overjoyed.
So far, just 50 micron transistors have earned the mainland US$20 million in foreign exchange.
This was twenty million dollars in the 1960s.
Horror!
Of course, the mainland may have made money, but IBM will definitely not lose money, and may even make a lot of money.
Just because there are 30,000 transistors, thirty or forty chips can already be produced.
Computers equipped with such a chip can be sold for 700,000 to 800,000 yuan each, or even millions. Isn’t that excessive?
Judging from IBM's market share of more than 80%, it is natural that these computers cannot be sold.
It may even occupy the market share of some companies such as Ector Mochley Computer Company.
When Fairchild Semiconductor representatives Gordon Moore and Greenick came to Hong Kong Island, entered the office of China Resources Corporation, and sat down face to face to negotiate with Liu Guanzhong, Siemens had returned to West Germany with 10,000 transistors. .
"Mr. Liu, our company wants to order 10,000 50-micron transistors. I wonder when they will arrive?"
"Oh, ten thousand. It will be ready in seven days."
"So fast?"
Gordon Moore and Greenick looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Good guy, if they hadn't received the news that IBM had ordered 30,000 transistors, they wouldn't have rushed here in such a hurry.
At this time, outside the office, a staff member from China Resources came to report: McDermott, a representative of Texas Instruments, was visiting.
Although Gordon and Moore did not understand the Mandarin, it seemed that a guest was coming.
No, Liu Guanzhong spoke.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, we have another guest coming to our company. He is a representative from Texas Instruments. His name is McDermott. Do you know him?"
What a naked conspiracy.
They are both companies related to the North American semiconductor industry. How could Gordon Moore not know each other?
Even if you don’t know that McDermott is the vice president of Texas Instruments, you should know what Texas Instruments does.
Therefore, the two of them immediately expressed their desire to purchase transistors and sign a contract now.
Liu Guanzhong smiled slightly and asked the staff to prepare the contract slowly.
After finishing his work, Liu Guanzhong left the conference room and went to the office on the other side to receive McDermott, who had been waiting for more than half an hour.
Gordon Moore and Greenick also saw McDermott through the office door.
Got it!
Fortunately, they had just placed the order, otherwise, they would have been a step too late, and it would have been even later to get the transistors.
One step at a time, one step at a time.
In business competition, this is absolutely fatal.
McDermott in the office also discovered two people from Fairchild Semiconductor.
McDermott was certainly aware of Liu Guanzhong's tricks, but he didn't say anything.
The current situation is so pressing that Texas Instruments cannot allow them to continue to be arrogant.
The people in the laboratory really couldn't come up with fifty micron transistors in a short time.
As long as we can't get it out, we can only endure the slaughter of China Resources Company.
If you fall behind in technology, you will be beaten. This is a normal business behavior.
Not only that, wasn’t it also the case for the great Eastern countries back then?
The coalition forces of several countries used artillery to open the door to the closed country, and were forced to open commercial ports, which became a raw material market and a dumping market for other people's goods.
With orders from Fairchild Semiconductor and Texas Instruments, the mainland has once again received US$10 million.
And Tokyo Communications Industry Co., Ltd. finally couldn't sit still at this moment.
If you don't take action, you are waiting to die.
If you take action, the most you can do is get a knife from China Resources.
Therefore, this choice is very simple, and even children know how to choose.
But I just don’t know why Tokyo Communications Industry Co., Ltd. hesitated for so long?
You know, Tokyo is definitely the closest to Hong Kong Island.
It was obviously a major advantage, but it was suddenly turned into a disadvantage by them. It was really a talent.
This side of the capital, Wenjin Street, Yamen Office.
The husband laughed loudly, and the staff nearby couldn't help but become curious.
Soon, Qiu Zongyue also rushed over and was shocked to learn that Fifty Micron Transistors had sold orders worth 30 million US dollars in a short period of time.
"Are there really that many?"
Qiu Zongyue, whose voice was both excited and hoarse, confirmed with disbelief.
"You can see for yourself, haha." The gentleman was in a good mood and seemed very happy.
"This time, it seems that we should give Comrade Xiao Chen a big reward."
Qiu Zongyue, who had confirmed the situation, came to his senses at this time and said with a smile:
"Leader, I'm afraid it's not as simple as a reward, right? He made an agreement with us before. Half of the money earned will be divided into half of their Zhenhua Research Institute."
hiss!
The husband glared at Qiu Zongyue and blamed the latter for talking too much. Can't you make him happy again?
He didn't want to mention this matter, but when he did, he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
You must know that this is 30 million US dollars, converted into RMB, that is million yuan.
If we really want to give half of it to Zhenhua Research Institute, it would be million yuan.
A few years ago, when the First Auto Accessories Factory, the predecessor of BAIC Manufacturing Plant, was established, it invested 10 million yuan.
But at that time, the No. 1 Auto Parts Factory was a large unit with two to three thousand people.
As for Zhenhua Research Institute, the number of people so far is only a few hundred.
After all, the security department has over a hundred people, the administrative, financial, printing, canteen and other staff are only in their thirties or forties, and the full-time researchers are less than two hundred.
Because Zheng Guiping and Pan Tiancheng were taken away, there are currently only 198 full-time researchers left.
The rest are part-time college students from Qingbei. There are probably more than 200 people here.
Added together, there are more than 500 people, but less than 600 people.
Only such a small number of people actually have to invest million yuan, which is too scary.
Although the mainland itself certainly has so many RMB, Chen Guohua will definitely not ask for all the money, but will exchange the money for resources.
Such as raw materials, imported equipment, as well as college students, researchers, etc.
As long as Zhenhua Research Institute has money, it can definitely expand.
At this time, the gentleman has not yet thought about how to deal with this matter.
However, when his eyes fell on Qiu Zongyue's face again, an idea suddenly came into his mind.
Well, as for this bad guy, it’s you, Qiu Zongyue, who should be the one.
As both smart people, Qiu Zongyue soon had an ominous premonition.
Good guy, are you going to ask him to tell Chen Guohua about this?
You know, Chen Guohua, this brat, is a notorious money addict.
The two had worked together for several months. How could Qiu Zongyue not know how obsessed Chen Guohua was with money?
It's not that the latter really likes money, but that Chen Guohua knows how to get benefits for his subordinates, and the projects he wants to undertake are all very big.
Since it is a big project, it requires a lot of money, which is normal.
For example, Chen Guohua mentioned the lithography machine to him more than once, always saying that there were insufficient personnel.
Good guy!
Considered a part-time researcher, that is more than 400 researchers.
In addition, after the ion source came out, more than 100 researchers from the Second Department of the Institute of Atomic Energy also joined in to help Chen Guohua develop the ion accelerator and neutral mass spectrometer.
If you calculate it this way, my dear, the scientific research team of Zhenhua Research Institute ranks very high among all scientific research projects in the country.
After all, apart from several scientific research projects such as mushroom eggs and missiles, Zhenhua Research Institute has the largest number of researchers.
Even the Institute of Materials Research, an institution that Chen Guohua had led before, was somewhat inferior in terms of overall academic qualifications and level.
"Zong Yue"
The husband patted Qiu Zongyue on the shoulder and discussed with the latter in a very gentle tone.
At this time, the latter already understood what the leader was going to say next, and his face suddenly became sad.
No!
Half an hour later, Qiu Zongyue appeared at the door of Zhenhua Research Institute. He was sitting in the car, hesitating as to how he should talk to Chen Guohua next.
"If Xiao Chen were more sensible, he should take the initiative to let go."
"But this guy is a money addict. This is really frustrating."
However, no matter how worried you are, you still have to face things that should be faced.
In the Zhenhua Research Institute, in the laboratory, Chen Guohua is providing technical guidance to everyone.
At this time, the neutral mass spectrometer has reached the last two components.
As long as it is completed, the next work will be easy to handle.
Previously, after the ion accelerator was completed, all researchers in the team joined the mass spectrometer.
After all, all the researchers in the Second Department of the Institute of Atomic Energy are gone, and they have to go back and build their own accelerator.
Just when Chen Guohua had just finished his technical guidance, Ma Mingwei came to report outside the door and said that the leader had arrived and was waiting in the office.
Okay, then go back to the office and talk to the leader.
A few minutes later, Chen Guohua saw Qiu Zongyue in the office, and the latter looked a little strange.
It seemed like hesitation, but soon turned into an expression of joy.
"Guohua, come here today, I want to tell you some great news."
"Good news? Leader, would you like me to guess? Is it related to transistors?"
When Chen Guohua heard this, his heart suddenly moved.
A few days ago, my husband called him.
Talking about fifty micron transistors.
Now that Qiu Zongyue said it was great news, it must have something to do with it.
The past month or two has been bad news, except for the accelerator.
Not to mention more, the two recent events alone made Chen Guohua a little helpless.
Both of these things have something to do with this bastard Helu.
One is that a few days ago, people informed that all engineers in the north will be evacuated.
As soon as the notice came out, almost all the experts left overnight.
Go clean!
It was as if they had never appeared before. They only left the place where they lived before, and left some daily things such as tables and chairs. All the papers were taken away.
As long as there was paper with writing on it, they took it away without leaving anything behind.
This is the first thing.
The second thing is that the bastard Helu is collecting debts.
It's simply too much!
Just like a young couple, before they got divorced, they were inseparable and spent all their money casually without worrying about it.
But once you get divorced, you will have to pay for every penny and pay it back within the time limit.
If you are not prepared in advance, it will definitely be difficult to cope with such sudden news.
Even so, it is very difficult.
The main reason is that there is no money!
I owe billions, how do I pay it back?
If you want to sell iron by smashing the pot, you must have iron.
These two things are quite disturbing.
Of course Chen Guohua knew these things, but he was also powerless.
Even if he sells more than 120 kilograms, he won't be able to sell it for several billion yuan.
"You knew already?"
Qiu Zongyue's eyes widened when he heard this, and Chen Guohua suddenly laughed:
"Leader, you are talking about great good news. You are speaking in such an exaggerated tone. It must have something to do with transistors. I guess you have sold a lot of them, right? Do you have 50 million US dollars?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Zongyue said angrily:
"Fifty million . dollars? Do you really dare to think that? Why didn't you say it was 100 million . dollars?"
When Chen Guohua heard this, he curled his lips and said:
"It's not even $50 million. Is this considered good news?"
"The price of a fifty-micron transistor is five hundred US dollars, with a starting price of 10,000 pieces. It has been restricted for a long time!"
"So, as long as one company comes to purchase, it is impossible for other companies to sit still."
"As for them joining together to purchase? Haha, in this cunning shopping mall, by the time they get off the negotiating table, some smart people will have already developed better chips."
At this point, Chen Guohua's expression became even more disdainful.
In fact, this is the case. How could those competitors be so stupid?
When Qiu Zongyue heard this, he no longer knew how to continue.
After a while of silence, he talked about making thirty million US dollars this time.
Upon hearing this, Chen Guohua asked in detail about the specific company name.
When he learned that IBM alone accounted for half of it, he immediately praised:
"No wonder IBM's market is doing so well. We need such big customers."
"But Tokyo didn't place an order? Don't they know about this?"
After chatting about these things, Chen Guohua suddenly took the initiative and said:
"Leader, I told Mr. Wu before that our Zhenhua Research Institute is responsible for its own profits and losses, but our research institute needs to take half of the money our research institute makes. We have made so much money this time."
Hearing what he said, Qiu Zongyue's heart lifted.
But Chen Guohua changed the subject and said:
"This money is a bit too much, and it's a bit hot to hold, so I'll keep it temporarily."
"But we still need to withdraw five million yuan first to purchase materials and repay debts. After all, we can't always owe money to our brother units."
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Zongyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Comrade Xiao Chen still has a sense of the overall situation.
Although five million yuan is still a lot, compared to million yuan, it is one-seventh less.
Moreover, five million yuan is actually not a lot for Zhenhua Research Institute.
For example, the cost of an ion accelerator is hundreds of thousands.
If Chen Guohua hadn't deducted part of it from the Capital Steel Works in exchange for his technology, he would definitely have to pay some cash.
"Guohua, your ideological consciousness is still very high. Yes, you are indeed the most famous scientific research genius in our capital."
Hearing Qiu Zongyue's words, Chen Guohua rolled his eyes and suddenly said narrowly:
"Leader, you must have been very nervous just now, right?"
"Hey, don't deny it. If I really insist on taking half of the money, I think you will be anxious. I'm afraid you will point at my head and say: Why are you so obsessed with money? You have so much money. Aren't you afraid of burning your hands?"
Seeing that he learned well, Qiu Zongyue himself was happy.
Indeed, he was really scared just now.
Fortunately, Chen Guohua is not a nerd, but a smart person.
Know that there are some things you can do and some things you cannot do.
"Don't worry, the reward that should be given to you will definitely not be less. This time, I think you should be able to get an honor like first-class merit."
Since entering Zhenhua Research Institute, Chen Guohua has been a soldier.
So what I received was the military medal of honor, and the clothes I wore were military uniforms.
The first-class Medal of Honor is naturally not easy to receive, but this time it was 30 million US dollars in revenue, and most of the credit for it belongs to Chen Guohua.
A first-class merit medal is not excessive.
"Okay, I understand, thank you, leader."
Chen Guohua gave Qiu Zongyue a military salute in a decent manner. This was taught by his father Chen Gonglu, and of course Yan Shouchun also helped guide him.
In the evening, Chen Guohua returned home, but did not say anything about it.
The family sat and ate and chatted, and soon the topic of Chen Xiaoyue's high school entrance examination came to mind.
In early July, she took the high school entrance examination. It has been some time now, and it is estimated that the results will be out soon.
"Xiaoyue, are you nervous? If you don't pass the exam by then, you will have to take the accounting certificate exam."
