Chapter 306 Let’s sell official refurbished phones
The conference organizers had anticipated this issue and were well prepared.
The leader of the Ministry of Science and Industry who specially attended the meeting said: "For this matter, a joint group will be formed by the Ministry of Science and Industry, the Defense Industry Committee, and the 60th Ministry of Machine Building. Units that need DJS-D can submit applications to this group. The joint group will review and approve the application after evaluating the importance and urgency of their needs and combining existing production capacity and inventory."
This is also a solution. Things always have priorities. Although it will be subject to certain restrictions, it is better than being vague and not knowing how to get it.
The meeting lasted more than two hours, and basically all the issues were clarified and everyone understood.
In general, it can be summed up in four sentences: the results are very good, the prospects are bright, but there are temporary restrictions, and first things first.
All participants received the materials and went back to distribute and study them. After all, this stuff is always there, so it won't go wrong to prepare in advance.
Some smart people took a tape to the conference staff and said, "Hello, comrade. If it's convenient, can you give me a copy of the electronic version of these materials so that I can print them when I get back?"
The smarter ones who actually didn't bring the tape left their phone number: "Excuse me, comrade. Please call me later and send me a copy. We will print it out so that more comrades can learn from it."
Looking at this scene, Gao Zhendong was stunned for a moment, as if he had returned to his previous life and was listening to a lecture by a big shot. After listening to the lecture, a group of classmates rushed to the teacher to copy the courseware.
Smiling and shaking his head, Gao Zhendong waved away that trace of emotion from his mind. He felt a little proud. This was the result he wanted, wasn't it?
The leader of the Defense Work Committee came up to him at some point and said with a smile, "Ever since you came up with these, meetings have become like this now, hahahaha."
The leaders of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and others who were walking over also laughed.
The laughter of several people was full of pride and relief.
Soon, the crowd dispersed, but people from several departments remained, including the National Defense Committee, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and the 12th Ministry of Machine Building.
They all had one thing in common, that is, they were all top leaders. The head of the Foreign Trade Department smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I have another meeting here, please stay for a while."
Also staying were Gao Zhendong and people from the Operation Institute.
And the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also came over. No one from their department attended just now. But the person who came was not the head, so this matter should be related to foreign affairs but not deeply.
Judging from the situation, it seems that you want to sell it out again?
However, the facts were somewhat different from what Gao Zhendong had imagined.
When everyone arrived and sat down, the leader of the Foreign Trade Department spoke first.
"Comrades, I have good news and bad news. I am in a dilemma. Now, I am taking advantage of the momentum of the second-generation computer. Please give me some advice, or let's discuss how to maximize the national interests."
The person from the foreign affairs department laughed and said, "Boss, we need to be vague when we talk because it's our job. You're also being vague, so it's hard for us to talk."
Maybe the two departments are very familiar with each other, and the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Trade are also very casual.
The head of the Foreign Trade Department laughed and said, "We are talking about this right now, why are you in such a hurry?"
After that, he turned around and faced everyone: "Let me tell you the good news first. Thanks to everyone's efforts, DJS-59 is very popular in the international market. I have received requests from many countries to increase imports, even from Gallic Chicken, a country in the Oceanic Convention."
This made everyone very excited. Everyone knew what it meant to have a fist-high high-tech export product at this time. Gao Zhendong could roughly guess something by comparing what he knew in his previous life with what he saw in this life. He saw it but didn't say it out loud, but at least it had a good impact.
However, the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade took a sharp turn in his next words: "But none of us agreed, which involves the bad news I want to tell you - the quota I can use for export is limited. DJS-59 is a high-tech equipment that is urgently needed in China, and there are not many that can be squeezed out for export."
Although the production capacity of transistors at Factory 1274 has greatly increased, computers are not the only device that uses them, and a computer consumes an average of about 0.45 transistors. Even if we add in the sporadic output of some other factories and the amount traded through channels such as the white glove Zhenxing Electric, the amount that can be exported is still limited.
However, in everyone's opinion, there is no good solution to this problem, and secondly, there is no need to solve it. It is enough to supply domestically. If there is no export, then there will be no export.
However, the next words from the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade moved everyone.
"As for export, if there is no such thing, then there is no such thing."
The exports at that time really had this flavor.
"But our comrades in the north also like this product very much and took the initiative to ask us to increase the import volume. After being rejected by our comrades, they even proposed to promise to increase cooperation with us or open some closed doors for this matter."
This instantly made everyone excited. After all, it has taken them many years to develop, and it has only been a few years since we started. What is their foundation, and what is our foundation?
If it weren't for the several flagship products developed by Comrade Gao Zhendong, it can basically be said that we have no say at all in the field of technological products.
What we need from others is obviously much more than what they need from us, not only in terms of technological products, but also in terms of industrial products, energy, raw materials and so on.
After all, even if the big guy in the north falls apart in the future, he can still survive as a national gas station. As for the current relationship between the two parties, everyone present here knows that it is a complete surprise that the other party can say this.
The people in the foreign affairs department couldn't help but say, "Leader, we haven't heard anything about this. If this is true, that would be great."
The leader of the Foreign Trade Department smiled and said, "I just received the report not long ago. It happened to be the time when the second-generation computer was born, so I rushed here to see if the situation can be improved because of the second-generation computer. After all, we are the ones who want to buy more. Their promise is very important to us now."
Everyone was thinking about this question. During the discussion, the leader of the 59th Ministry of Machine Building turned to Gao Zhendong and asked, "Comrade Zhendong, can the domestic production of the second-generation computer be advanced as much as possible? Or is there any way to increase the production of DJS- in the short term?"
It only requires an increase in the short term, and does not mention large-scale expansion of production.
Although the success of the single crystal furnace and the production line transformation of Factory 1274 have provided conditions for capacity expansion, large-scale capacity expansion is inappropriate, as it will squeeze resources from other construction projects and disrupt the overall construction deployment.
You know, these days, nothing electronic is cheap.
The price of a transistor, a few dollars, a dozen dollars or even a few dozen dollars, may not seem too exaggerated, but when compared with the average wage of an ordinary person, the difference can be seen.
Transistors as products are so expensive, and the production lines of transistors are not cheap either. This can really have an impact on the overall situation.
Therefore, capacity expansion must be gradual, and as for exports, as long as they can be increased in the short term to cope with foreign demand, it will be fine.
As the head of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, who was in charge of this department, was naturally very aware of this matter. Therefore, he set his sights on Gao Zhendong to see if the inventor of two generations of computers had any tricks.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Gao Zhendong thought for a while.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, no one spoke for a moment, for fear of disturbing his train of thought.
Gao Zhendong actually thought of a way out.
"Leaders, let me first talk about the situation of single-board computers. First of all, even if the production capacity of DJS-60D is sufficient, it is not recommended to export it now. Compared with DJS-59, its technology span is a bit larger. At least before the high-performance model of the second-generation computer that I am planning appears, it is not recommended to export it."
When the leader of the Defense Work Committee heard this, he immediately decided in his mind that no export license would be issued for this thing in the short term.
The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade had no complaints about this. It was only natural that the most advanced products would not be exported. He even felt a little secretly happy about it.
Gao Zhendong continued to express his opinion: "As for the production of second-generation computers, it is currently restricted by imported components. This is quite special. In short, the quantity cannot be increased in a short period of time. This matter was also mentioned at the conference just now."
Seeing that everyone was a little disappointed, Gao Zhendong's next sentence immediately gave everyone a shot of confidence.
“But for DJS-59, I think there are some ways to expand the export quota.”
After hearing this, everyone was no longer sleepy. Hey, why didn’t you say it earlier?
The head of the Foreign Trade Department was very excited: "Do you have a solution? Tell us now."
Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "The method I mentioned needs to be implemented by your leadership."
"We? No problem, just tell me what you want and I'll get it for you."
Gao Zhendong did not keep the secret: "Leader, you mentioned earlier that the Gallic chickens are also thinking about increasing the quota, right? The gap will be filled from them."
Everyone was confused. What does this have to do with the Gallic rooster?
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade did come up with something: "You mean, we want to import transistors through Gallic Chicken?"
Gao Zhendong shook his head and said, "The quantity is too large, and problems may occur easily. However, we can ask them to import the integrated circuits needed for DJS-60D. The quantity is only about one seventh to one tenth of the number of transistors, which will be much easier."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the foreign affairs department laughed first. Comrade Gao Zhendong's suggestion was very good.
Others may not know this, but he does. If we were to ask which country in the Oceanic Convention is most likely to develop in-depth cooperation with us, it would definitely be the Gallic Rooster. It has always been at odds with the Citigroup and John Bull.
The current leader of Gaul is not even just the last man in Gaul, but the last man in the coal and iron community.
Gao Zhendong continued to add his thoughts: "As we all know, the inheritance and compatibility between DJS-60D and DJS-59 are very good, and the performance is basically the same. So after we obtain enough integrated circuits to manufacture DJS-60D, we can use all the newly manufactured DJS-59 for export."
At this point, Gao Zhendong proposed a new concept that no one had heard of: "We can even replace most of the existing DJS-60s with newly made DJS-59Ds, refurbish the replaced DJS-59s, and sell them to them openly and honestly at a slightly lower price. This is called an official refurbished machine, or "official refurbished machine" for short.
——“Official refurbished machine.”
