My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 827 It's never too late to learn anything, start now!

Foreign trade work shouldn't require explaining it all night.

After all, the foreign language barrier alone blocks a considerable number of majors.

However, amidst the nationwide trend of going abroad and the frenzy of foreign language learning in universities, Wei Dong has come up with a new approach to studying abroad.

Whether it's frequent travel between China and other countries, or overseas assignments, these are all very attractive industry positions.

The college students, sitting on the ground, enthusiastically signed up on the spot.

But it was precisely because of this unexpected choice to discuss this matter at the joint venture's factory that Wei Dong was certain he wouldn't be as recklessly urging everyone to make money all over the world as he had yesterday.

The article provides a straightforward explanation of the current situation in various industries that the author has encountered, including foreign trade companies, various trading companies affiliated with import and export qualifications, customs brokers, customs officials, and commodity inspection agencies.

It doesn't involve revealing secrets of heaven, or teachings about time travel and rebirth.

Wei Dong didn't know any of this in his previous life. He felt more like the later college entrance exam expert and internet celebrity, bridging the information gap.

In this era, let alone college students, many teachers and professors are not clear about the actual situation on the ground, let alone how to keep up with the times and keep up with the changes.

Even Yu Qili, who had worked with the import and export trading company for a year or two, was still somewhat confused and clueless.

Things can only be accomplished through some incredibly powerful intermediaries.

So they listened with great interest.

This clearly shows how high Wei Dong's starting point was.

The jeans that the Qin siblings sold to Citibank paved the way for his branded export business, which far surpassed the low-end model of processing trade in sweatshops.

A number of Hong Kong-funded companies were able to streamline the routes and facilitate the improvement of almost all import and export channels.

The foreign trade company qualification that Xu Rao transferred could only be said to have filled the gap in Shanghai's channels at most, but it just happened to connect with the import and export needs of Apple's OEM factories and also received an additional foreign exchange quota approved by the Economic Commission.

It basically has the most complete foreign trade structure in China.

Even so, what sets Weidong apart from all other foreign trade units in the country is its sole focus on exports and its complete absence of imports:

"I can say this very clearly: Dongsheng Trading's foreign trade work currently has the largest trade surplus in the country. We have hardly spent any of our precious foreign exchange reserves to import various overseas goods. Instead, we have done our best to introduce and develop technology through various means. So next is the computer industry that we are introducing. We need a large number of college students in radio, semiconductor, and electronic engineering technology to fill positions in Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Jiangzhou to showcase their talents!"

Someone else quickly asked loudly, "Shouldn't we be talking about cars?"

The projection screen, which stretched out like an open-air movie theater, even displayed the order of the various events.

It seems this is a profession related to industry.

As computers are currently the most popular high-tech concept in universities, they are sure to attract more people. Immediately, someone told him to shut up and not disturb the leader's speech.

The leader emphasized that free speech is allowed: "We are a company, and we need to stimulate everyone's initiative and creativity. So in my team, you can say whatever you want. I warmly welcome everyone to actively communicate and exchange ideas. But once I make a decision, everyone needs to work together to achieve it!"

This is very different from the atmosphere of state-owned enterprises and campuses today.

The college students responded with even more enthusiasm, saying "yes."

Wu Xi actually called his childhood friends and acquaintances from the foreign affairs department and foreign trade unit to listen in on the conversation.

They now whisper to each other in their ears.

It's clear that private business owners have unquestionable decision-making power, much like a lord, but this young and talented lord is obviously good at learning and absorbing knowledge, and doesn't particularly like flattery.

In their words, "Isn't this guy just like an independent regiment? He does things unconventionally, but his combat record is truly impressive."

Wu Xi pointed leisurely, and then listened again, "There are many more achievements."

Wei Dong smiled and pointed around: "This is the joint venture assembly plant of Pingjing Automobile Manufacturing Plant. Tomorrow night we will still start the lecture at seven o'clock, but the modern industrial workshop will be open to university students for a tour at five o'clock. Those who want to see it should come in advance to line up and register."

The entire audience was immediately filled with amazement and longing.

At that time, there were no modern industrial assembly lines in the whole country.

The only two or three car production lines are all fragmented parts.

The first Santana was assembled using original parts, and then the best workers were selected to spend several days assembling it with hammers, screwdrivers, and other tools.

Universities have never seen a modern production line before. This will inevitably lead to a further surge in the number of people tomorrow.

Wei Dong's talk about computers inspired countless students to want to get involved: "Modern computers are divided into three main categories: hardware manufacturing, R&D support, and software development. I can proudly tell you that we now have complete production lines from CPUs and memory to integrated circuit motherboards and semiconductor chips. We also have the best color monitors, vacuum tubes, keyboards, mice, and memory card supporting equipment factories. We can independently produce personal computers that are among the world's best in terms of performance."

Some of the college students were aware of the gap, and just as they were beginning to have some doubts, the surrounding area erupted in cheers.

Fortunately, Wei Dong immediately poured cold water on the situation: "But I want to make it clear to everyone that this technology was brought in from overseas by our comrades on all fronts through every possible means. The content of independent innovation and development is almost zero. If we cannot catch up desperately in the next ten years, we will be left far behind again..."

The factory grounds, which housed thousands of people, quickly fell silent, and groups of car production line workers stood listening nearby.

Wei Dong didn't give a presentation on the international technology situation: "At least now we have a joint venture semiconductor plant in Shenzhen that can actually produce chips. The wafer fab and packaging plant are at an internationally advanced level. We strive to reach the most advanced level within one or two years. Those who understand should sign up as soon as possible."

The college students are beginning to understand what "battle lines" and "fighting" mean.

"Memory chip factories and integrated circuit factories are located in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they are still state-owned enterprises cooperating with each other. X Computer also has its own production line in Jiangzhou, where it works with keyboard, mouse, and case manufacturers to produce for Apple's computer manufacturing in Shanghai. Currently, more than half of the most advanced Apple computers on the international market are produced in China. Do you understand what that means? The comrades at the forefront are working hard to put computers that can catch up with international standards in front of everyone. This has already condensed the sweat and even blood of countless people. Hurry up and learn any computer knowledge you can get your hands on, and then join us."

Wei Dong raised his voice, a rare occurrence for him: "There's not so much indifference and aloofness, nor so much negativity and boredom, and there's no time for cynicism. Those who truly have the ability and hope to leave a mark on history in their decades of life will become our best comrades-in-arms..."

Unlike the previous enthusiastic cheers and laughter, the entire audience was now listening quietly.

Suddenly, someone silently raised their hand, head bowed, not to ask a question, nor to pledge loyalty to anyone, but to make a vow to their own life.

One after another, people raised their hands in the crowd, then silently put them down; some never put them down.

Some people clenched their fists, some gave a salute like a team salute, and some gave a military salute.

Wu Xi and the others were surprised when they discovered it. They turned their heads and stood on tiptoe to look at the arms that rose and fell like a forest of spears and bayonets, or like a green curtain of gauze and a forest of lone pines.

Who says scholars are useless?

Those who have read books, once they understand the principles and clear their minds, have bones harder than steel.

Wei Dong felt it was all worth it: "For those who want to focus on research, I suggest Jiangzhou. The Xishan electronics industry cluster needs all kinds of electronics talent. As long as you're willing, whether you're in sales, software, or R&D, you can find comrades to work alongside you. Shanghai is suitable for production lines, while Shenzhen is more suitable for innovation..."

Speaking of which, I have to give an example: "Last year, our biggest revenue came from a software development company's word processing, spreadsheet, and PowerPoint presentation software. Look, this is it. The project leader also received a reward of several hundred thousand dollars. This year's performance mainly comes from the ingenious idea of ​​a Singaporean engineer who wanted to make computers produce beautiful music. As a result, we sold the sound card for over a hundred million US dollars in the North American market."

Everyone was still surprised.

The TV is still praising those with 10,000 yuan as incredibly remarkable.

Are they already awarding hundreds of thousands here?

Moreover, sales exceeding one hundred million US dollars are simply an astronomical figure!
Anyway, those in foreign trade and foreign affairs were exchanging shocked glances, while Wu Xi silently gave them a look, indicating that she agreed.

Wei Dong smiled too: "We try our best to increase R&D funding so that researchers can live better lives. We use that money to improve production lines, expand factories, and build dormitories. Oh, and we even acquired a decommissioned aircraft carrier from Australia and converted it into a park where everyone can play ball, have gatherings, and have late-night snacks. Why are we working so hard? It's to give our families and children a better life. Only with the happiness of every family can we build a strong and prosperous motherland..."

Only clever and perceptive people can distinguish the difference between the before and after.

When we are poor and have nothing, yet we still have to send our soldiers to the front lines to defend our country, we must have a country before we can have a home.

Having weathered the most difficult survival crisis, it is now indeed time for a transformation.

I wonder how many people recognized it.

Anyway, You Qili stood there, nodding slowly as if deep in thought.

It wasn't until Wei Dong finished explaining the distribution, technical requirements, R&D focus, and employment needs of the computer industry, slide by slide, that things continued.

The college students present were less excited and exhilarated than the previous night, and instead fell into a thoughtful silence.

Many college students who are usually quiet are even more reserved today, but they waved to Rang Weidong from afar as they left.

Because Wei Dong was left there holding the microphone to see them off.

He reminded me to be careful when returning to school late at night, and that good health is the foundation for focusing on my studies and work.

Wu Xi also brought her group over and patted Wei Dong on the arm: "Well said, I even regret not working hard when I was studying."

Wei Dong teased him, "It's never too late to learn anything, you can start now."

Yes, at this time, college students, who are eager to learn, cherish this industry lecture that broadens their horizons even more.

The number of people will only continue to rise!
