Chapter 214, living in seclusion in Chinatown
"Okay, let me tell you."
Chen Guohua smiled and stopped everyone from continuing to guess blindly, and the laboratory suddenly became quiet.
After the laboratory became quiet, you could hear a pin drop.
Regarding everyone's serious appearance, Chen Guohua said with great satisfaction:
"The excimer laser is a new technology that is widely used and will have a great impact on our future life."
"Not to mention photolithography machines, in drilling, marking surface treatment, laser chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, cleaning of magnetic heads, optical lenses and silicon wafers, micro-manufacturing technology related to micro-electromechanical systems, etc."
"In addition to these, it can also be applied in clinical medicine such as ophthalmology and dermatology, such as in situ keratomileusis, wavefront-guided laser surgery technology, etc."
"So, from now on, I will set up a dedicated excimer laser laboratory to develop related technical applications."
Everyone was immediately surprised. Another laboratory was established?
But after thinking about it, everyone was relieved.
According to Chen Guohua, the wide application of excimer lasers, especially in medicine, is simply good news to the world.
Especially for myopia, this is definitely the best news for researchers.
After all, many people are myopic, especially those researchers who are more than 800 degrees or even thousands of degrees myopic. They need to wear very heavy glasses every day, and the bridge of their noses are already overwhelmed.
If laser technology can be used to treat myopia, it will definitely be a good thing.
Seeing the excited expressions of several researchers wearing glasses, Chen Guohua couldn't help but smile:
"So, you have to work hard next, strive to develop the lasers needed for our medicine as soon as possible, and bring good news to those patients who are troubled by this as soon as possible."
After saying this, everyone laughed.
But soon, Chen Guohua brought the topic back.
"Okay, that's it for the topic of the application of excimer lasers. Let's now return to the matter of deep ultraviolet excimer lasers."
Because these lasers use other mixtures that normally would not combine, however, when enough power is applied, atoms of the two gases bond together to form excited temporary molecules, known as excitation groups.
The excited molecules release excess power in the form of light, the wavelength of which depends on the gas used.
This is why Chen Guohua tried ten or even more different gases before.
After all, wavelength plays a decisive role in photolithography machines. Only by using smaller wavelengths of light can smaller transistors be lithographed.
The smaller the transistor size, the greater the number of transistors that can be built into the chip and the simpler the technology.
"Before, we could produce lithography machines that could produce light of several hundred nanometers. Now we need to develop light that is several hundred nanometers smaller, or even within two hundred nanometers or within one hundred nanometers."
After hearing Chen Guohua's words, Zhang Jichuan and others all looked serious.
"I have prepared two elemental technologies for you, and then everyone will start developing these technologies."
"I need you to help me develop the two elements krypton and fluorine that can produce light with a wavelength smaller than a few hundred nanometers, or even within a hundred nanometers."
"Whether it's krypton fluoride or something else, you have to take it seriously."
Speaking of this, Chen Guohua's expression suddenly became extremely serious:
"Also, I need to emphasize it several times. When you are doing these research and development work, safety must be the first priority. You cannot joke casually. Do you understand?"
Zhang Jichuan and others all had serious expressions on their faces and nodded seriously.
Whether it was what happened last year or the explosions that have occurred one after another this year, they are enough to make everyone vigilant.
Outside the laboratory, Chen Guohua can talk and laugh with everyone, and even make jokes.
But in the laboratory, such a situation is absolutely not allowed.
Safety first is definitely not something to be joked about.
After coming out of the lithography machine laboratory, Chen Guohua smiled.
Judging from the current progress, it is already possible to prepare chips that are several hundred nanometers smaller.
After all, excimer lasers have come out, and from here on, they are at least twenty years ahead of those bastards in North America.
Even if Chen Guohua is suspended now, when Chen Guohua comes back around seven or eight years ago, he will be able to defeat those computer companies in North America.
Moscow, Secretary's Office.
Helu was drinking coffee, a gift from Kennedy.
"Comrade Secretary, there is an urgent matter that needs your attention."
At the door of the office, a subordinate rushed in and said hurriedly.
The tone was very urgent.
Helu was drinking coffee when he accidentally spilled the coffee all over the floor and a lot of it fell on him.
Helu was immediately very angry: These subordinates were unable to do anything, and they were the first to make him angry.
But at this time, the subordinates didn't care so much.
After handing the note to Helu, Helu glanced at it with anger and confusion, and his pupils shrank sharply the next moment.
The content above almost made him angry.
Bastard, this stupid guy Cleo was actually captured?
How could it be so stupid?
His brain started working quickly, and Heru was thinking about the best countermeasures.
But obviously, countermeasures are not so easy to come up with.
He immediately thought of denying the existence of Cleo and denying that Cleo was not his subordinate.
But the one who was slandered!
But how is this possible?
Everyone is not a fool. Helu pretending to be deaf and dumb will only make other subordinates feel cold and alienate him.
I'm afraid if he does this, he might get fucked.
His competitors, seeing such a good opportunity, would never let go of such an opportunity to add insult to injury.
So what should we do next?
This is really worrying Helu, and he is in a dilemma.
As the saying goes, it is better to steal the chicken than to lose the rice. Helu is the person he is talking about.
If he hadn't forced Cleo so hard before, he wouldn't have been so passive now.
Before Helu could come up with a better solution, many more people came outside the office door.
Many people had already received the news, so they came over as soon as possible.
Just because there is no way to block this message. After all, it is a 'mass' message and many people have received it.
While Helu was in a state of distress, far away in North America, Kennedy also received a message.
Looking at Lundberg in front of him, Kennedy raised his eyebrows and said:
"So everything you said is true?"
The information on the small note is the information about Cleo's arrest. Although there are no photos, it is not difficult to verify the matter clearly.
Perhaps Lundberg wants to go to the capital to obtain information, but it is almost impossible to do so.
But if you go to Moscow to verify it, it won’t be too simple.
Just because there are many Muscovites here in North America, and even the intelligence department where Lundberg works has many Muscovites.
Therefore, in the face of Kennedy's inquiry, Lundberg nodded immediately and said:
"Yes, this is true, and according to the information we have, Cleo wants to inquire about the Zhenhua Research Institute, and even steal technology."
"Our people also had a confrontation with Kleo's people, but fortunately, everyone had the same goal, so nothing happened."
"However, what I didn't expect was that Cleo would be so unlucky and go in directly."
When Lundberg said this, he was gloating and at the same time a little scared.
The land in the east is really magical.
Since more than a hundred years ago, the land in the East has never risen since it was bombarded by cannons by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces.
However, during the Peninsular War, MacArthur's undefeated myths all encountered Waterloo.
Therefore, North America also has some fears when facing the East.
This time, Cleo was arrested, which once again illustrates this point: the East is no longer the East it was more than a hundred years ago.
"Haha, Helu is probably going to have another headache this time."
Kennedy laughed wildly and then asked:
"So, have you gained anything from this Zhenhua Research Institute? You have to know that they have made more than one billion US dollars from us."
So much money has been made in North America, but China Resources has not purchased many high value-added products from North America.
This means that there is a trade deficit of more than one billion US dollars between the two sides.
For North America, which has a big business and a big business, more than one billion . dollars is not a small amount of money.
You know, last year, in 1960, North America's gross national product was only $540 billion.
Therefore, faced with such a situation, those capitalists may not particularly care.
But Kennedy couldn't care less.
"Mr. John, you also know that our department is currently understaffed and short of funds, especially when facing this big country in the East, we can't get involved."
When Lundberg heard this, he immediately began to lie.
He would not go to the east in person like that fool Cleo and then be trapped.
Even if he were asked to go to Hong Kong Island, a British city, Lundberg would not go.
After all, Hong Kong Island seems to be a colony of Great Britain, but the main people living in this city are descendants of the dragon.
Yes, Hong Kong Island is very chaotic, and there are many different forces fighting for power and profit there.
But Lundberg knew that the headquarters of China Resources Corporation was also on Hong Kong Island.
The fact that China Resources has been able to stand on Hong Kong Island for so many years without being overwhelmed by many forces is enough to prove its strength.
Playing away from home, Lundberg said he had no advantage.
"Fake, why are the funds so low? Lundberg, don't fool me. I just want to hear good news now. Get the Zhenhua Research Institute for me. We can no longer let them make money from us. "
John Kennedy was instantly angry, and the word gentleman was forgotten by him.
Kennedy was furious, like a furious African lion:
"I don't want to listen to your nonsense. I don't care who you contact, whether it's the killer organization or computer companies like Cray Company. In short, I only give you three months."
"After three months, if you fail to complete the task, someone will definitely replace you in your position."
After hearing this, Lundberg had no choice but to accept the order.
Being threatened by the president is not something that happens every day or two. Anyway, he is the president's exclusive dumping ground for negative emotions. It is normal for him to be complained about like this often.
Who said that the past few years have been uneventful?
In Armonk, New York, North America, little Watson was very happy at this time.
Just because the chips from China Resources are already in place.
Although this chip is an upgraded version, the price of 80 million US dollars for one thousand chips is no different from before.
After arranging the work, Watson Jr. went to the technical department and found Winkelman.
"Winkelmann, how is our technology research and development work going?"
"BOSS, we can now successfully produce fifty-micron transistors, but we still have no clue about five-micron transistors."
At this time, Winkelmann said with a worried look on his face.
His hair has gone from Mediterranean to bald, but he has no time to take care of it because he is worrying about technical problems.
Previously in April, China Resources had announced the price of five-micron transistors.
So IBM quickly purchased a batch.
It also purchased $2 million in 50-micron transistors.
If they want to engage in research and development, they must also have food to eat.
Two million US dollars of fifty-micron transistors can already make many chips.
Even though the current yield rate has increased to 32%, it is still very pitiful.
Moreover, currently, chips with one hundred or two hundred built-in transistors are already backward technology products.
A chip with 500 built-in transistors is the latest product.
However, IBM's technical research and development team is not very bad.
But there is no way to break through the technical barriers. Even a chip with built-in 200 meters of transistors is still lagging behind China Resources' products in terms of power consumption and performance stability.
This is very fatal.
We can’t always use China Resources’ chip products in the future, right?
For the proud IBM company, this is absolutely unforgivable.
Looking at the past year or two, IBM's expenditure on external procurement of components has accounted for a large proportion.
You must know that in the past, only components and raw materials with low price and low technical content were purchased. Most of the high value-added technologies were completed by IBM.
Only in this way, with annual revenue of more than two billion US dollars, can profits be maintained above US$200 million.
If there is no profit, the company's stock price will plummet, and shareholders will be very angry.
Therefore, even if little Watson didn't roar at him, Winkelman himself would be ashamed and under great pressure!
"BOSS, I suspect that the five-micron transistors developed by China Resources are not ordinary equipment at all, but other processes."
After hearing Winkelmann's words, Watson Jr. said doubtfully:
"So where do you think we should start?"
Reducing the size of transistors is a general trend, but there seem to be few technologies that can reduce the size of transistors.
"That's the problem!"
Winkelmann looked helpless, but said very seriously:
"I have consulted many research institutes and laboratories, but they do not have relevant technological inventions."
"According to our previous speculation, China Resources must have developed a device that can produce smaller-sized transistors."
"But we don't know the specific technology used. We don't have it in our laboratories in North America, Moscow or Europe."
"So, I can't be sure now. Have China Resources developed a whole set of technical equipment similar to the industrial chain, or do they only have one such equipment? And what technology did they use?"
Just imagining things out of thin air is like working behind closed doors.
But this is not the first time Winkelmann has engaged in technology research and development. He will definitely look for inspiration from other levels, or whether there is any similar technology.
Just because products like transistors were actually born in laboratories and then gradually used commercially.
But judging from the current situation, the technical barriers established by China Resources are simply too powerful.
Winkelmann felt like he was facing a turtle shell, with nowhere to start.
I really don’t know how to break the current technical limitations.
So sad!
When Little Watson heard this, he also looked sad.
After all, Watson is also very aware of the issues Winkelmann mentioned.
"Let's do this. You continue to study, and I will come up with a solution."
"Okay, BOSS, I hope you can bring us good news."
Upon hearing this, Winkelmann said with great joy.
Just because he knows that Watson's so-called method is naturally money-making ability.
In a five-star hotel in New York, in a room on the top floor, little Watson dated his young lover Christian.
Little Watson is the same age as Duan Xuefu, both born in 1914.
In other words, Watson is 47 years old this year and is about to enter the age of five.
But even though he is about to turn fifty, little Watson still has a lot of fun.
If others wanted to get information, they would use their money ability, but it was better for him to throw the money directly to Christian and then obtain the information from the latter.
Just because Christian is not as simple as a flower vase, she is the secretary of Lundberg, the head of the intelligence department.
Therefore, her status in the intelligence department is not low.
"Anna, does your department have any information about computers now?"
After a moment of confusion, little Watson stroked Christian's back and asked softly.
This room has been checked twice. Both Watson and Christian are sure that there is no eavesdropping device here.
Despite this, the two of them were still very cautious and did not speak loudly.
Therefore, when the two of them fought just now, it was actually a silent movie, and it was done as quietly as possible.
"Yes, I have."
Christian said with a sweet smile.
Little Watson was immediately overjoyed, but he soon became speechless.
Because the information she mentioned was useless.
For example, Fujifilm and Toshiba have successively achieved breakthroughs in 50-micron transistor technology. The yield rate of the 200-micron transistor chips currently developed has reached 11%.
You know, the two companies here are companies that have just been established.
It can only be said that the strength should not be underestimated.
But for little Watson, such information is of little use. Half an hour later, little Watson left the five-star hotel disappointed.
He indeed failed to obtain information from Christian, so he could only find a solution from other departments.
Little Watson, who had a lot of fun, was busy with these things in the next two days.
But what made him extremely disappointed was that there was indeed no relevant information.
Even if he had money, he couldn't buy relevant technology.
"Damn it! How could China Resources guard its technology so tightly? Did all those intelligence agencies grow up eating shit? It's so useless!"
Little Watson, sitting in the luxury car, was very angry.
At this time, the car happened to pass by a highway. On this side of the highway, there was a fork in the road.
At the end of the intersection is Chinatown.
Little Watson had a sudden idea when he saw the words "Chinatown", and then asked the driver to drive to Chinatown for a stroll.
Having had many contacts with people in the intelligence department, little Watson also knew that China Resources Company was indeed like an iron bucket, and no matter what, he could not get the technical information he wanted.
So, the people here in Chinatown are all their own people. It should be easier to obtain technology when they go to Hong Kong Island, right?
"BOSS, there are only two of us today. It would be too dangerous to go to Chinatown. How about calling a few more people over?"
When the driver heard this, he suddenly reminded with some fear.
In the early 1960s, many places were not peaceful.
Except for the wealthy areas of New York.
The slums are definitely dark areas of chaos.
If a rich person wants to go to the slums, he must bring more bodyguards. Otherwise, if something happens, the sky will not respond and the earth will not respond.
When Little Watson heard this, he nodded helplessly.
After a sudden change, little Watson, who was well prepared, finally headed to Chinatown in high spirits.
As a result, not long after they walked in, they encountered a fight between gangs.
They were fighting for territory among themselves, armed with watermelon knives, kitchen knives and other tools. Even little Watson saw a boy who was about thirteen or fourteen years old doing the same.
Seeing such a scene, little Watson secretly felt lucky that he was well prepared. If it was like yesterday, coming here with only two bodyguards, it would be really dangerous.
Don't look at these gangsters who only use knives and no guns and ammunition.
But who can guarantee that there will be no guns and ammunition?
In addition, it was impossible to tell how many people had gathered in front of me, but the whole street was blocked, and including the people watching the excitement, there were probably more than a thousand people.
With great difficulty, the car turned a corner and passed through other streets. Only then did Little Watson and the others arrive deeper into Chinatown.
After walking around for a while, little Watson suddenly saw a Chinese martial arts gym called Beipei Martial Arts Gym.
"There must be smart people here, right?"
Little Watson is looking for smart people who can do things for him, not people with strong limbs but simple minds.
However, before little Watson got out of the car, someone flew out of the martial arts gym.
Bang!
He fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Watson and others were a little nervous.
Are Chinese martial arts so awesome?
The man who fell to the ground was not a descendant of the dragon. This could be seen from his height of only meters.
"Tanaka manhole cover, this is your last warning. If you dare to act wild here again next time, see if I don't beat you to death."
At the door, Bruce Lee came out, looked down at the manhole cover in Tianzhong, and said murderously.
Dozens of people came out of the martial arts hall. They were distinctly different. Some were very excited, while others were extremely angry.
"Bruce Lee, although your strength is average, I trust you in this matter!"
"Yes, beat this little devil to death. How dare he come to bully our martial arts school?"
Many martial arts students shouted excitedly, but Bruce Lee rolled his eyes.
He originally studied in Seattle, but he happened to be traveling in New York, and by chance he saw Tanaka's manhole cover and immediately followed him.
As a person who loved fighting, Bruce Lee would never shrink from fighting.
Whether in San Francisco or Seattle, he has never been a person who studied steadily.
For example, last November, he accepted a challenge from a karateka at the Seattle YMCA and was beaten to the ground by Bruce Lee.
At that time, there was another person who came with this karate, and this person was Tanaka Manhole Cover.
So, this time in New York's Chinatown, I happened to encounter Tanaka's manhole cover and came to play at the Beiji Martial Arts Gym, so of course Bruce Lee wouldn't miss it.
Although on their own territory, Feng Yuming, Xie Hai and other martial arts gym personnel were very angry because Bruce Lee, an outsider, defeated the kicker.
But it should be said that the scene where Bruce Lee punched Tanaka's manhole cover still made Feng Yuming and the others very happy.
"Hello, our boss invites you."
Seeing Bruce Lee's inverted triangular body and muscles all over his body, little Watson immediately became interested.
So he asked the bodyguard to come forward and invite Bruce Lee to come over and talk.
Bruce Lee, who originally wanted to continue fighting, naturally wouldn't talk to the foreigner.
There is nothing more attractive than a fight. If there is, it is a group fight.
Yes!
Bruce Lee was such a militant.
Although his academic ability is not bad, he enrolled in the University of Washington in March this year, majoring in psychology and drama.
But he was still very concerned about fighting.
You can tell how obsessed he is with martial arts from the fact that he practices boxing training for at least five or six hours every day.
Otherwise, there would not be such well-developed and beautiful tendons.
"Don't go!"
Bruce Lee rejected the opponent directly and returned to the martial arts gym.
Unexpectedly, little Watson was not angry at all. He shouted at the rude bodyguard with a smile and followed him into the martial arts gym.
At this time, there were several trainers sitting in the martial arts hall, and many students were looking at Bruce Lee.
And Linda, a white Irish girl, was sitting next to her.
The atmosphere in the martial arts hall was a bit strange, but after Bruce Lee came in, he continued to invite fights.
It means that it is just a martial arts competition and a friendly match, not a gymnasium competition.
It's different to play in a gym, and Bruce Lee didn't want to play in a gym.
After all, we are all our own people, and if we want to fight, we must fight those foreigners, such as the little devil like Tanaka Manhole Cover just now.
In the corner, the most inconspicuous coach was drinking tea slowly and didn't care about these things at all.
This coach is clearly Yu Chengsan.
Yu Chengsan fled from London to New York's Chinatown, naturally to avoid the pursuit of Rokossov's people.
If Yu Chengsan knew that Rokossov had already reported to God, he probably wouldn't be so hiding.
After all, without people like Rokossov, it would be more difficult to find him and his family.
The year before last, he accepted Nikolaev's invitation and went to Hong Kong Island to assassinate Chen Guohua.
As a result, he was threatened. After he killed Nikolay and others, he returned directly to London, took his wife and children, and crossed the ocean to New York's Chinatown.
But, fate is so strange.
Today's martial arts gym has not only kickers like Tanaka Manhole, but also Bruce Lee, a militant who likes to fight, and celebrities like Watson Jr.
Yu Chengsan, who pays special attention to the news, already knew who Watson was when he saw him.
After all, IBM is located in Armonk, New York, not far from New York.
As the president of a listed company, Watson Jr. was often in the newspapers, but at this time, in the martial arts school, only he, Yu Chengsan, seemed to recognize Watson Jr., while the others just thought he was an ordinary white rich man.
As we all know, just like white people who can’t tell the difference between yellow people, yellow people are also face blind when looking at white people.
However, Yu Chengsan was different. He needed to pay attention to the news and some developments to avoid being dumped by people in Moscow again.
"What is a rich man like him doing here?"
Seeing this scene, Yu Chengsan was very depressed and frowned.
But he still tried not to look at Watson Jr. to avoid attracting attention.
Watson Jr. is a big figure under the media spotlight. Being involved with such a figure means trouble.
But what Yu Chengsan fears most is trouble.
When Bruce Lee started fighting with Feng Yuming, Watson Jr. also noticed Yu Chengsan.
Although the latter is well covered, little Watson's eyes are not cloudy either.
Since Yu Chengsan can appear at the martial arts gym, it means that his ability should not be bad.
And he also knows how to conserve his energy and not take the initiative to show off. Isn't this kind of person the person that little Watson is looking for?
Therefore, little Watson originally wanted to invite Bruce Lee, but now he wanted to chat with Yu Chengsan.
When the latter saw the bodyguard approaching, he died of helplessness.
The more afraid you are of trouble, the more trouble will come to you. Alas!
Why is it so difficult for him to live a stable life?
Hong Kong Island, China Resources Corporation.
Today, many people came to consult and wanted to go to Baiyun City to do business.
Liu Guanzhong always felt helpless when faced with inquiries from these foreigners.
These people want to come here for free, but I'm afraid they're overthinking it.
These foreigners want to purchase goods from Baiyun City, take away some raw materials, and also want to sell some products.
There is not much foreign exchange in the first place, how could Liu Guanzhong agree?
As for purchasing raw materials from the mainland?
If it were before, Liu Guanzhong would definitely be very happy.
But now I'm not so happy.
If you want to purchase raw materials, it doesn't matter, just pay.
If the price is too low, then don’t disturb each other’s time.
Before selling high value-added products such as transistors and chips, Liu Guanzhong was not so tough, but now he is tough.
"Mr. Liu, why don't you want us to purchase lotus seeds? Don't you have a lot of lotus seeds? Especially Xianglian."
Da Kun, a businessman from Southeast Asia, asked with great dissatisfaction.
Liu Guanzhong heard this and said:
"The price you offered is too low, of course we will not accept it."
Lotus seeds are one of the raw materials for making mooncakes, and they are also one of the raw materials that Southeast Asian businessman Da Kun wants to purchase.
However, most of the lotus seeds produced in the mainland are sold directly on Hong Kong Island and will not be sold directly to Southeast Asia.
The reason is also very simple.
Mooncakes such as lotus paste mooncakes originated in Baiyun City and have been developed since the Republic of China.
Let’s carry it forward to Hong Kong Island.
In the 1940s and 1950s, many people from the mainland set out from Hong Kong Island to travel to Southeast Asia.
After they settle down abroad and have money, they will miss their hometown.
Not only hometown foods like lotus paste mooncakes, but also many other things, they all want.
When there is demand, there is naturally a market.
In previous years, Da Kun imported lotus seeds from Hong Kong Island and sold them back to Southeast Asia to earn profits.
But Baiyun City is not open now, so Dakun plans to go to Baiyun City to acquire it.
However, going to Baiyun City is not that simple.
Especially if you want to do business, you must declare with China Resources.
Raw material products like lotus seeds already have fixed sales channels. If Dakun's price is higher, Liu Guanzhong will not be unwilling to give it a pass.
When Dakun heard this, he knew it was not that easy to fool.
Ugh!
Before Dakun could speak, a staff member came to the door.
Liu Guanzhong went out quickly.
In another office, Liu Guanzhong looked at the diapers that had just arrived, the diapers that had caused a lot of jokes in Baiyun City before.
"Is this a diaper? It looks pretty good."
Looking at the diaper in front of him, Liu Guanzhong looked surprised.
From the news in Baiyun City, Liu Guanzhong knew that this thing was actually Chen Guohua's latest product.
According to the original words of the CUHK professor, the technology was provided by Chen Guohua, and they just developed the diapers in the laboratory.
The relevant production equipment was all purchased from the capital.
Nowadays, a factory has been established in Baiyun City. Since diapers are for export, the market needs to be opened first.
As for patents?
Well, for the time being, China Resources has already applied.
After all, this is a product invented by Chen Guohua, and Liu Guanzhong also attaches great importance to it.
The factory first made a batch of diapers. In addition to bringing some to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible, they also packaged some of them and let the train take them to the capital.
After confirming the diapers, Liu Guanzhong immediately said that he would immediately notify the merchants to come and have a look to see who wanted to purchase diapers.
It is equivalent to holding an internal small investment meeting.
"By the way, did the capital say how to set the price?"
Suddenly, Liu Guanzhong thought of something and asked the staff.
The latter didn't know either, so Liu Guanzhong asked the other party to hurry up and ask.
The result is that China Resources sets its own prices, but considering the cost, it is best to test the water at a high price first.
After all, the families that can afford diapers in this era are not ordinary families.
From a market perspective, it is best to ship directly to the market in North America, because there are more wealthy people there.
As a result, China Resources quickly gathered many people, and everyone gathered together to chat about diapers.
Businessmen such as Dakun also like products like diapers, but they are put off by the price.
Although the transistors and chips sold by China Resources have made many large companies make money.
But for products like diapers, it is a new thing after all. No one knows how well consumers will accept it.
Few people know about it in Southeast Asia, but Howard, a North American businessman, is ecstatic.
The reason is also very simple. Currently, diapers are available in North America.
During World War II, West Germans had already invented a fiber tissue paper made from wood pulp.
This fiber tissue paper has a soft texture and is highly absorbent.
Later, Boris cut the tissue paper into special shapes, folded and packaged them in gauze or mesh knitted fabric one by one, and then put them into the baby's underwear for use.
However, this prototype of diapers has obviously not been recognized by the market.
Because the cost is very high, the price is too expensive.
In 1946, a North American mother discovered a problem of urine penetration when using this diaper.
So she improved it and added a waterproof layer at the bottom of the diaper.
He applied for a patent and later sold the patent to a waterproof diaper manufacturer for one million US dollars.
However, the waterproof layer this mother added was actually a shower curtain in her home.
In 1956, Miller, the development manager of Procter & Gamble in North America, wanted to change his granddaughter's diapers more easily, so he invented disposable diapers that had good water and energy absorption and were comfortable to wear.
Just in March of this year, Miller's invention was named one of the 100 greatest inventions of the 20th century by Time magazine in North America.
If Liu Guanzhong had paid attention to this information, he would not have known this.
Unfortunately, he didn't.
Due to the limitations of the times, a lot of information can only be transmitted through newspapers. It is still very difficult for Liu Guanzhong to obtain this information.
After all, he would never have thought that Chen Guohua would invent a product like diapers before.
Unfortunately, North America already has such a product, and it has been on the market for several years.
However, Howard, an old fox, knew this very well, so he didn't rush to make it known.
Just because the diapers produced by China Resources are obviously far better than the Pampers diapers produced by Procter & Gamble.
At the same time, China Resources' price is three cents cheaper than Procter & Gamble's diaper price.
But the price of three cents per diaper is a bit expensive after being separated by the Pacific Ocean.
"Mr. Liu, I really want to purchase a batch to try, but your price is too expensive. Can you get it six cents cheaper?"
