That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 594: Do I need to tell you how outstanding Li Ye is?
"Xiao Ye, you are absolutely right. It is hard to say whether you will be beaten if you fall behind, but you will definitely be slaughtered."

Wen Qingsheng slammed the table and complained angrily: "We imported a batch of fully automatic oil processing equipment from West Germany two years ago, but after it was put into production, problems always occurred every now and then."

"We organized technical personnel to study the problem repeatedly, but we couldn't find the cause because the factory did not allow us to dismantle it privately.

So I had to ask the manufacturer for help. Guess how much their technical support fee was?
Moreover, the engineers who came to solve the problem were paid by the hour, starting from the moment they boarded the plane in West Germany."

"The problem is that after they came, they didn't allow our technicians to watch on site. After a few days of trouble, they returned with a large amount of foreign currency. A few months later, the equipment broke down again."

Wen Qingsheng paused for a moment with his empty wine glass, and Li Ye quickly poured him another glass to moisten his throat.

Then he said angrily: "Later I got angry, so I asked the technicians to dismantle it. If they dare to dismantle it for me, I will be responsible if it breaks."

"Finally, we found the problem. The voltage here is unstable. The West German manufacturer deliberately adjusted the sensitivity of a set of controllers inside to a very high level. Isn't it that problems often occur?"

"Do you think this tuition fee is a waste? If this equipment was produced by us, would he dare to tease us like this?"

"."

Li Ye silently poured another glass of beer for Wen Qingsheng, hoping to calm his anger.

There were too many such things in the 1980s and 1990s.

It's just a matter of a thin layer of window paper, but he dares to kill you with one knife.

Who made you fall behind? If you have the ability, stop importing!
Moreover, most people do not have the courage and qualifications of Wen Qingsheng. If they destroy the equipment and cause huge losses to the country, they will be held responsible.

Wen Qingsheng exhaled, and then said to Li Ye: "When I asked you last year, you said that your ambition was manufacturing. I was a little surprised. You studied economics but didn't want to join the Planning Commission, but you were obsessed with manufacturing?"

"Now I understand, you don't want to fall behind and get slaughtered!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "In fact, our backwardness is only temporary, because we have the ability to catch up. If it is some countries in Southeast Asia that focus on light industry but ignore heavy industry, it will be really difficult for them to turn things around!"

There are generally two routes for backward economies to develop industry: heavy industry first, then light industry, or light industry first, then heavy industry.

The former requires too much investment, takes too long to show results, and has a high failure rate, but once it works, it will have more and more potential.

The latter requires small investment and makes money quickly, but will eventually be strangled and slaughtered for the rest of your life.

However, most of the backward economies chose the second path. Only the ancient empire of the mainland took the first path, which was hard, difficult and tiring, and actually succeeded.

Later, the Southeast Asian countries kept talking about wanting to take away the rice bowl from the mainland, but in the end they were all limited by the lack of heavy industry. Even if the rice was at their fingertips, they couldn't eat it all.

Pan Xiaoying looked at the calm and composed Li Ye with a twinkling look in her eyes, just like when Teacher Ke "took a fancy" to Li Ye.

Regardless of Li Ye's vision, the fact that Li Ye can attract foreign exchange investment is a golden coin.

So Pan Xiaoying smiled and asked, "Little brother, you will start your internship in a few months, right? If you want to get into the manufacturing industry, how about coming to us?"

Pan Xiaoying's next stepping stone should be Factory 506 under the post and telecommunications system. Factory 506 is now in a joint venture with Pengcheng Fengyu Company. Pan Xiaoying feels that it will be a great help if Li Ye can be brought over.

Li Ye did not answer immediately, but smiled and asked Pan Xiaoying: "Sister Pan, you haven't told me yet whether you have agreed to cooperate with Fujitsu!"

"Cooperate with them?"

Pan Xiaoying smiled and shook her head, saying, "My grandfather said that it is better to have something yourself than to have it from your parents. Since we can produce it ourselves, why do we have to spend foreign exchange to import it?" "And if we hadn't successfully developed the program-controlled switching system ourselves, would they have been able to lower the price? In just two years, the price has dropped by two-thirds."

"."

Li Yexin said this is the main reason!
The agreement was signed with Fujitsu in 83, and the service was just launched in January 85. It cost 1 million US dollars for 303 telephone lines.
As a result, in the autumn of 85, the "discount" was suddenly reduced to two-thirds. Isn't this a slap in the face?

If this happened decades later, I would complain about the insurance premium!

However, Pan Xiaoying also demonstrated her strength through these few words.

Look, there's someone at my house! Come with me, I'll protect you.

Wen Leyu lowered her head and ate the food in small bites so as not to let Pan Xiaoying see the disdainful look on her face.

[Do I need you to tell me how good Li Ye is? Do I need you to protect him? You are just dreaming.]

Sure enough, just as Pan Xiaoying finished speaking, Teacher Ke said, "Xiao Ye's graduation internship will take some time! There is no rush now, let him think about it carefully, this is a lifelong event."

Pan Xiaoying blinked and smiled with some regret.

It seems that Teacher Ke is going to train Li Ye personally, as he, as a daughter-in-law, cannot compete with his own mother-in-law.

"Sister Pan, how long will it take for your telecommunications upgrade pilot to be completed?"

When Li Ye saw Teacher Ke stand up, he changed the subject to avoid embarrassing Pan Xiaoying.

Pan Xiaoying said: "It will probably be next spring! The equipment debugging has been initially completed, but we still need to train enough technicians.
By the time you are doing your internship, it will be almost over, and once the production capacity of Factory 506 is increased, it will be rolled out on a large scale."

Li Ye nodded slightly, then asked, "Sister Pan, does your upgrade pilot this time include connecting with overseas?"

"Overseas?" Pan Xiaoying looked at Li Ye, squinted her eyes and smiled: "Little brother, do you have any ideas?"

In the 1980s, it was extremely difficult to make international calls in mainland China. It was not until the "program-controlled switching" and "digital transmission" technologies were fully applied to telephone communications that calls suddenly became "smooth".

Li Ye said: "When we were attending the film festival in Japan, we saw some compatriots on the other side of the strait. Later we found out that the phone calls between us were not working, but if we could think of some workarounds,

"."

Everyone at the dinner table looked at Li Ye intently.

Li Ye always comes up with some unexpected ideas to attract their attention.

You know, there is no communication condition between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits at present! If we can make a call to the other side, it will be a great thing.

There was already excitement in Pan Xiaoying's eyes.

She is a fan of officials, so she naturally understands the ins and outs of this.

"Little brother, can you tell me in detail, is there any way to make it work?"

Li Ye said directly: "Take a detour and find a way to go through other overseas countries to indirectly achieve cross-strait communication."
