The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 251: Where Did She Go? I’m Sorry!

On May 13, 1984, the train departed from Shanghai and headed north.

Bang, bang, bang!

On the 14th, Wang Duoyu and his friends arrived in Beijing.

After arriving in the capital, Wang Duoyu did not continue to head north, but stayed in the capital.

The Mach 5 fighter project has accumulated a lot of work, and he must solve these technical problems.

"Dad, is my little mother in the capital? Can I go see her?"

That evening, Wang Duoyu had just returned to No. 87, Zhongguancun West Street, when the little guy asked.

He must be missing his little mother, so he asked this.

It makes sense. The child hasn't seen his mother for five months, so of course he would miss her.

A child who is over three years old can already remember things, not to mention that the little guy is so smart.

"If you want to go, ask your mom to take you. Dad doesn't have time because he has to go to work."

Wang Duoyu glanced at Liu Xiaoli and said so.

However, Liu Xiaoli might not be willing to go find Zhu Ling, so at that time it might be up to Wang Meili and others to help take her over.

Wang Duoyu didn't care who took Wang Junhong to see Zhu Ling, and he was too lazy to care.

"Oh!"

The little guy pursed his lips in disappointment and said nothing more.

The next evening, as soon as Wang Duoyu got home, the little guy pounced on him.

"Dad, little mom is missing. We went to her house but didn't see her."

Wang Duoyu was not surprised when he heard this.

Zhu Ling wanted to hide from others, so of course she wouldn't let anyone find her. Otherwise, she would appear in front of Wang Duoyu every day.

After comforting the little girl, Wang Duoyu was also thinking about this in his heart: Where did she go?

After staying in Beijing for five days, Wang Duoyu returned to Harbin Institute of Technology after finishing his work.

As soon as I came back, John Milnor and others came to me again and asked about the fundamental lemma.

Then he was quickly sent away by Wang Duoyu.

He was going out for fun, not to go into seclusion.

However, after returning to Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu officially went into seclusion after finishing the work of the subsonic ramjet engine project, the Nebula supercomputing project, the monthly mathematics sharing and other tasks.

This time I will retreat completely and ignore the outside world.

While he was in seclusion, time blinked and entered June.

At this point in June, the Xiaolingtong mobile phone was officially launched on the market.

In the United States, New York, on the most prosperous Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, in the most conspicuous location of Sears department store, there is the Huaxin Company counter.

As one of the most visited shopping centers in the United States today, Sears can be said to be a place frequented by many high-net-worth consumers.

Places like this have even more traffic than the so-called Huaxin company stores.

Therefore, Huaxin Company certainly needs to set up a sales counter in such a department store.

Most consumers will see PHS mobile phones the first thing they see when they walk into Sears department store.

A PHS phone priced at $1,984, featuring a stylish design, a compact body, long standby time, and barrier-free calls within the city.
Almost everyone has seen the huge poster hanging in the department store, which shows a beautiful model holding a Xiaolingtong mobile phone and making a call. Just at the first glance, it can be seen very clearly: the Xiaolingtong mobile phone is much smaller than the Motorola 8000X.

And the price is also very low!
At $1984 per unit, it is eleven dollars cheaper than the Motorola 8000X which costs $1995.

As long as you are not a fool, you should know how to choose.

In fact, if you look closely, you will find that Motorola 8000X and Xiaolingtong mobile phone are two different mobile communication devices.

The Motorola 8000X can obviously be used in many places, and it also has functions such as GPS positioning. The Xiaolingtong mobile phone only states that it can make barrier-free calls within the city, but it does not say that you can continue to make calls after going to the suburbs.

Of course, we can plan slowly in the future and set up base stations in some small towns with large populations.

After experiencing it in practice, many consumers choose Xiaolingtong mobile phones without hesitation.

It’s not because the Motorola 8000X is more expensive, but because the Xiaolingtong phone can be carried in your pocket at any time without being a hindrance at all.

And many people move around in urban areas, so there is no problem at all in buying such a PHS phone.

The salesperson also gave detailed explanations on issues that many people are concerned about, such as call signals and radiation.

Many experts and researchers at Huaxin Company have conducted multiple rounds of tests on Xiaolingtong mobile phones and found no problems at all.

So many consumers believed it.

On the first day of its release on June 1st, many people paid for a Xiaolingtong phone.

Although there is no good marketing campaign, you will make a profit if you buy it.

There are only two mobile communication devices on the market, so it is easy to compare.

At Motorola's headquarters, they had known a lot of information for a long time, but on the day the PHS phone was launched, they still sent people to keep a close eye on it.

As a result, before they got the sales data of iXiaolingtong mobile phone, they got the sales data of Motorola 8000X in advance.

Of course, with so many locations across the United States, only three Motorola 8000Xs were sold.

When all the executives saw this data report, they felt dizzy and almost fainted.

My goodness, this is too scary, right?
How could this be?
Single-digit sales per day?
And it’s national sales data, how is that possible?

In fact, the monthly sales of Motorola 8000X had already fallen below units. In other words, on average, only to units were sold nationwide every day.

So isn't it normal to see such sales data on the day when the Xiaolingtong mobile phone was launched?

But single-digit sales are too unacceptable, right?

Whether you can accept it or not, this is the fact, the fact in front of everyone. No matter how you struggle, it is impossible.

"We need to take action. We can't just sit there and wait."

An executive reacted and said in a deep voice.

"How's our sales market in South America? Is it getting any better?"

"We still need to wait. We don't know the situation in South America yet."

"Then send someone over there and keep a close eye on it. This is our last chance. If the Motorola 8000X doesn't make money in the end, our company will definitely lose money this year."

Losing money every year is definitely not acceptable. The shareholders will then fire these executives.

While Motorola was busy saving itself, the Agong National Laboratory on the other side had already received a Nebula supercomputer shipped from Ice City.

This supercomputer was transported back to the Ice City by a plane sent by their laboratory, and Harbin Institute of Technology did not hand it over to Lotte Group's ocean shipping company for transportation.

By mid-to-early May, the production efficiency of Nebula supercomputers had increased significantly, and basically one supercomputer could be produced every day.

Because in late March, computer experts and researchers from Peking University, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other related units all arrived at Harbin Institute of Technology.

After a month and a half of training, which ended in early May, they all started production.

With this group of experts, the production speed of Nebula supercomputer has naturally increased a lot.

So Argonne National Laboratory was able to quickly obtain the Nebula supercomputer, and after transporting the supercomputer back to the computer room that had been prepared long ago, they began to install it.

After the installation was complete, they immediately began conducting various tests.

As the test data came out one by one, cheers broke out in the entire computer room.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but within two days, a piece of news suddenly appeared in the newspaper: researchers discovered that a supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputing Center had a built-in signal transmitter that was transmitting a large amount of data. The details are still under investigation.

Once this news was reported, the whole United States was in an uproar.

Many reporters rushed to the San Diego Supercomputing Center to ask the relevant person in charge what was going on, which company produced the supercomputer with a built-in signal transmitter, and how much data was transmitted?
Using signals to transmit data, why does this technology sound like black technology?
Which company is so awesome?
Soon, the San Diego Supercomputing Center held a press conference, stating that everything was still under investigation and they would resolve the matter as soon as possible.

In fact, they were investigating this matter secretly, but they didn't know which bastard leaked it out.

Because it is embarrassing, of course they dare not say anything casually.

However, the San Diego Supercomputing Center quickly contacted many units including Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, etc.: Please contact Harbin Institute of Technology as soon as possible to return the goods, or check the supercomputers they delivered, as there is fraud.

what?
Wang Defa!
Everyone was shocked. What the hell was going on?
Is there really something wrong with the Nebula supercomputer produced by Harbin Institute of Technology?
All researchers at the Argonne National Laboratory were summoned back by a phone call. They all returned to the computer room and worked overtime to dismantle the Nebula supercomputer, determined to find the so-called data transmission signal transmitter mentioned by the head of the San Diego Supercomputing Center.

"Fuck, what kind of transmitter is this? How small is it? How does it transmit the signal?"

They had already called in technicians and started looking for signal fluctuations, but after a thorough investigation, they found nothing.

Then they dismantled the Nebula supercomputer. However, after checking and confirming that all the components were not signal transmitters, everyone was stunned.

What exactly is going on?

The Harbin Institute of Technology's office in the United States soon learned about this incident and immediately passed the news back to the Harbin Institute of Technology campus.

In the Sixth Experimental Building of Harbin Institute of Technology, Song Xinwen, Pang Dianchen, Ci Yungui and others were all very surprised when they heard the news.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. This must be a frame-up. How could we possibly have such technology? The entire production process is planned out."

Song Xinwen exclaimed that it was unbelievable and rejected it on the spot.

Liu Deben didn't quite understand, but he raised his doubts: "Xiao Song, is it possible that someone accidentally put some equipment in there?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Xinwen immediately denied it:

"Secretary, this is impossible. Supercomputers undergo multiple quality checks before installation. How could there be any parts missing? And even if there were, it would definitely only be some tools. But this is impossible."

All the production personnel of Nebula Supercomputer are not ordinary people. They are all very capable technicians. If there is a problem in any link, the people in the next link will definitely check it out.

This is a Nebula supercomputer worth US$5.99 million. How could it be delivered so simply and crudely?
Before Liu Deben and his team could come up with a conclusion, they received news from the United States that many units had requested a refund of their deposits, and some even requested a return of the goods.

How to do?
Whether it is returning the goods or refunding the deposit, it is definitely impossible.

The deposit has already been paid. As I said before, no refund is possible after the deposit is paid.

It is impossible to return the goods. The goods have been delivered and the money has been paid. How can I return it?
The rain is coming from the wind!
However, not long after, news came that the San Diego Supercomputing Center had sent people to Harbin Institute of Technology.

They flew from the United States to Ice City, coming here aggressively to demand accountability.

This time they brought a team of more than 30 people, including people from the San Diego Supercomputing Center and several special envoys from the US government.

In the conference room of the administrative building of Harbin Institute of Technology, Liu Deben, Lu Gongliang, Song Xinwen and others received the American group.

"Mr. Liu, your school has gone too far. You actually installed a file transfer signal transmitter on the Nebula supercomputer. You stole a large amount of data from our supercomputing center."

When the group of people from the United States saw Song Xinwen and the others, they immediately began to angrily condemn them. They looked so angry and aggrieved that anyone who didn't know them would think they had suffered a great injustice.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible"

Song Xinwen flatly rejected it and refused it verbally.

Before the American side could speak again, the door of the conference room was pushed open and Wang Duoyu walked in.

He was notified and forced to interrupt his retreat.

The Nebula supercomputing project is of great importance, and an accident has now occurred, which is really unexpected for Wang Duoyu.

So when he learned that the Americans had come to Harbin Institute of Technology to question him, he could no longer stay in his office with peace of mind.

No sooner had he walked into the conference room than he heard the head of the San Diego Supercomputing Center in the United States angrily make a request:

"You must compensate us $2 billion, apologize publicly, and disclose your production processes and technologies to us."

When Wang Duoyu heard this, his eyes narrowed immediately.

I'm afraid that the 2 billion US dollars in compensation is not their main purpose. Their two main goals are to make a public apology and disclose the production technology process.

The San Diego Supercomputing Center is very clear about how much money Harbin Institute of Technology earned last year, and also knows how much revenue the Nebula Supercomputing Center has. After all, the price is there, and they have the American Nielsen Business Research Company, so it is very easy to get these data.

Therefore, they tactfully proposed 2 billion US dollars in compensation, which was not too much but not too little either.

But the most crucial points are the public apology and the disclosure of production technology processes. The former will hit the confidence of the entire Harbin Institute of Technology and even the entire Chinese scientific and technological community, while the latter will cut off the source of funds and completely destroy the Nebula supercomputer project.

Combining the two, haha, if they really succeed, the entire Harbin Institute of Technology will be devastated.

This plan, I have to say, is perfect.

But Harbin Institute of Technology is not made of clay.

Wang Duoyu interrupted Song Xinwen's attempt to deny and prove himself, and instead looked towards the American representative:
"Sir, you said that the supercomputer that Harbin Institute of Technology delivered to you had a data transmission signal transmitter built into it, which was used to steal data from your San Diego Supercomputing Center, correct?"

"That's right, you have no shame."

"Very good, just admit it!" Wang Duoyu interrupted directly.

The people in the United States are dumbfounded. What do you mean by "it's okay if they just admit it"?

Before they could speak, Wang Duoyu continued:

"Then please show us this signal transmitter and how it works. I believe your technology is so advanced, so you definitely don't have it, right?"

After being slandered, instead of proving yourself, you should ask the other party to produce evidence.

Because once you prove yourself, even if it wasn't your fault, it becomes your fault, because self-proval means that you are suspicious and guilty.

Only by asking the other party to produce evidence can you counter their moves based on their logic.

After hearing Wang Duoyu's words, they were obviously well prepared and started the demonstration immediately.

The data transmission signal transmitter is not big, just the size of a palm.

This kind of technology is of course very cutting-edge high-tech in today's era. The United States has been fighting with the Polar Bear Empire for so many years, and God knows how much black technology they have hidden.

In the history of the original time and space, WiFi technology was not invented until the 1990s.

Wang Duoyu didn’t know how the United States could come up with such awesome technology at this time.

Soon, after they finished their presentation, Wang Duoyu asked:
"So, do you know its signal range and data transmission speed?"

As a technical expert, the head of the San Diego Supercomputing Center said he didn't know.

"That shouldn't be the case. How could you not know? If you didn't know, how could you be sure that this thing could convert data into digital signals and then transmit them? For such a small thing, you should be very clear about it."

After hearing Wang Duoyu's words, the person in charge still shook his head:
"This is a technological product of your Harbin Institute of Technology. How could we possibly know about it?"

Wang Duoyu immediately laughed and asked again:

"I'll ask you again, are you sure you don't know?"

The other party still shook his head, and Wang Duoyu asked again:

"There are so many of you here, but none of you know anything about this so-called signal transmitter, its signal radiation range and data transmission speed, right?" The American representatives all shook their heads.

"Good, very good, very good, you all don't know, right?" Wang Duoyu was immediately happy.

Then he said:
"Let me tell you, there's a company called Huaxin at Harbin Institute of Technology. They've already launched a PHS phone. This PHS phone uses microcellular technology. The signal coverage range of this technology is 500 meters."

"Also, your American company, Motorola, also has a mobile communications device. The signal transmission towers used by this device have a coverage range of several kilometers."

"In other words, they don't have a very wide range, but do you know how big the devices are? And how fast are they transmitting data?"

"Then let's talk about your signal transmitter. It's only the size of a palm, so its signal coverage range is definitely not more than 50 meters. I believe this distance should still be within your supercomputing center, right? In other words, there is a mole in your supercomputing center."

Having heard this, it seems there is no need to continue.

Huaxin Company has launched a PHS mobile phone, which must use a base station, and the so-called base station must use such a signal transmitter.

It is impossible to say that the signal receiver is very large and the signal transmitter is very small.

Such technology will not appear until at least after the millennium.

For example, in his previous life, Wang Duoyu knew about the famous spy pigeon, which could monitor experts and others who needed to be monitored 24 hours a day.

Send one or two disguised spy pigeons to the location that needs to be monitored, and all monitoring images can be transmitted to the signal receiving station in real time.

This is a monitoring screen, which has higher requirements for data transmission.

But in this day and age, even the 3380 hard disk storage developed by IBM has a transmission speed of only 3MB/s.

This transmission speed is not fast, and data transmission will certainly consume electricity, etc., which can easily lead to anomalies and leave traces in the supercomputer.

After Wang Duoyu explained, he smiled and said:

"So, do I need to continue? Your frame-up methods are too crude. I really don't know how you came up with this trick. But you should hurry up and find your people. Maybe someone has already fled for fear of punishment."

On the American representative's side, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

They are not stupid and can understand what Wang Duoyu said. All signs have shown that they have really wronged someone this time.

"sorry!"

After a while, the San Diego Supercomputing Center had a quiet discussion with other representatives before apologizing to Wang Duoyu and his team.

Then they wanted to leave after apologizing, but Wang Duoyu would not let them leave so easily.

Just an apology and that's it?

How can it be that simple?

"You need to publicly apologize to us in the newspaper and compensate us $100 million for emotional distress."

Faced with the request put forward by Wang Duoyu, the American representatives immediately became anxious and quickly said it was impossible.

"Haha, this is not up to you."

Wang Duoyu pointed to the camera above the conference room, and then pointed to a camera not far away from the conference room that had already been turned on. Two school newspaper reporters had sat here at some point in time.

"It's okay if you don't apologize. Then we'll report what we talked about today. Well, I believe everyone can see what kind of people you are."

Nest grass!

When they saw the camera, they were immediately stunned.

They may not believe that the camera above the conference room can really record anything.

But the camera that the school newspaper reporter turned on definitely had a very good lens and must have recorded the scene and conversation just now.

How to do?
Do you really want to pay compensation and apologize?

At this time, representatives of the US government stood up and said they would protest this matter.

so?

Wang Duoyu looked puzzled. The protest was received, but what next?
"Secretary, please talk to them. If they are unwilling to publicly apologize and compensate, then we will immediately contact the media and hold joint press conferences in the United States, Japan, Europe, and other places."

US representative: “.”

God, it's the devil!
If what happened in the meeting room today were reported, they would be so embarrassed that their reputation would be as high as the Pacific Ocean.

Logically speaking, how could a supercomputing center not know about digital signal processing technology?

They were blinded by greed. They came up with such a plan because they were jealous of Harbin Institute of Technology for making so much money.

I thought that even if it was exposed by Harbin Institute of Technology, it would not be a big deal. At most, they would say a few meaningless words. But if it succeeded, it would be 2 billion US dollars in compensation.

Is there any faster way to make money than this?
Now, they are shooting themselves in the foot. Even if it hurts like hell, they have to swallow it with gritted teeth.

Wang Duoyu left the meeting room and no longer paid attention to the subsequent events.

Even if the people at the San Diego Supercomputing Center don't want to pay compensation, they must pay compensation.

As for how much compensation to pay, haha, isn’t it already set at 100 million US dollars?

The San Diego Supercomputing Center can easily catch the rats within their own ranks and then identify the mastermind behind it to make up for some of the losses.

What happened at Harbin Institute of Technology happened as fast as lightning, while Argonne National Laboratory was still depressedly conducting self-examination. What went wrong? Why didn't they find the so-called signal transmitter?

It's the size of a palm, neither too big nor too small, so it should be easy to find. But I searched for several days and couldn't find it.

Then at this time, major American media suddenly reported a piece of news, which was an apology letter from the San Diego Supercomputing Center.

They apologized very sincerely in the letter, saying that they had wronged Harbin Institute of Technology.

After seeing this news, everyone at Argonne National Laboratory was stunned, and the person in charge immediately called the University of California, San Diego.

As a result, the line was busy and I couldn’t get through!
"Shit, who of you has their PHS phone number?"

The person in charge was furious. Santiago had really messed them up this time. Not only had they worked for so many days in vain, but several spare parts of the Nebula Supercomputer seemed to be broken.

And if I want to reinstall it, I'm afraid it won't be that fast.

This storm came quickly and dissipated quickly.

People from Beijing called and expressed their concern. Fang Li and they also called separately to inquire about the matter.

However, Wang Duoyu returned to seclusion again and did not answer these calls.

Although the storm has dissipated, the impact it brought is still ongoing.

In the blink of an eye, it is already mid-June. At this time, the American Nielsen Business Research Company released the sales data of Huaxin Company from June 1st to June 10th.

Motorola executives immediately focused on the sales data of the Xiaolingtong mobile phone: 36,872 units.

After seeing this data, everyone gasped and exclaimed that it was unbelievable.

Isn't it too scary?
Based on this data, it can be quickly inferred that Huaxin Company earned 73 million US dollars in revenue within ten days. In this way, it can basically earn 100 million US dollars in less than a month.

It may even take half a month.

Compared with Motorola, the prices of the two mobile communication devices are obviously not much different, but why is the Xiaolingtong mobile phone so popular?
"Cut the price, damn, our phones must be priced lower"

Some Motorola executives cried out for it, but some executives opposed it because the cost was really too high.

Ugh!
what should we do?

Motorola was in chaos because of this incident. It was a power struggle among the decision-makers, and everyone had their own little calculations.

"How many mobile phones has Motorola's Chinese factory produced so far? What is the cost?"

Some executives also turned their attention to the factory in Bingcheng. They handed over the chips to the chip factory of Harbin Institute of Technology, and several less critical components were also moved to Bingcheng.

However, while the overall cost has been reduced somewhat, it's not much.

Because the key components are still produced in factories in the United States.

Of course, even if the cost is not reduced too much, it is still possible to make hundreds of dollars in profit in Europe, South America and other places.

As long as you don't lose money, that's fine.

In Europe, there is also Nokia's mobile phone Senator, but this phone only has a market share in Northern Europe, and the rest of the market has been occupied by cordless phones.

Moreover, Motorola has also launched its own 8000X, so the survival space of Nokia's mobile phone Senator is worrying.

And now Huaxin has launched the Xiaolingtong mobile phone. Once this phone enters Northern Europe, Nokia's Senator mobile phone will probably be eliminated by the market.

Of course, the market is still developing and it will take time to build base stations.

But it won’t take long, because the US market has already given a very perfect answer.

The data provided by Nielsen Business Research Company is very accurate and will never be wrong.

In just ten days, more than 30,000 units were sold. What about the European market?
Capital has always been profit-seeking. In the past, they may have urged Huaxin to promote the production of base station equipment as soon as possible, but now, European and Japanese telecom operators have come directly to the Ice City and visited the factory to urge it in person.

It's just a matter of going directly to the production line and producing it myself.

Many people across the United States were paying attention to the PHS mobile phone, but at this time, few people were paying attention to Boeing.

Thirty-seven pilots and ground crew from China Northern Airlines have arrived at Boeing to begin a six-month training program.

They arrived in Arlington County in late May. After arriving at Boeing headquarters, the 37 people only rested for one night and started working the next day.

The Boeing 737 is not the most advanced passenger aircraft in the world, but it is definitely an aircraft that has never been seen in China.

So, the pilots and ground crew of Northern Airlines are like sponges, absorbing knowledge and technology crazily.

On this day in mid-to-late June, two leaders of Northern Airlines, Su Zongxi and Ma Mingjiang, actually came to Arlington County to visit the pilots and ground crew.

"Comrades, are you used to being here?"

As the person in charge of Northern Airlines in the United States, Shen Mingxuan nodded repeatedly, and the other pilots also nodded to show that they were used to it.

This is America after all, and just the issue of food is enough to give you a headache.

But even if you are not used to it, you have to get used to it.

They come here to learn skills and knowledge, not to enjoy themselves. Even if every meal consists of hamburgers or something, they have to persevere.

Of course, they don’t have hamburgers for every meal. At least they have rice and American fried dishes every day. Anyway, they eat whatever the American pilots eat.

Besides, they only studied for half a year, which was not a very long time.

"Well, our company has ample funds, so there's no need to make things difficult for you."

Ma Mingjiang said with a smile.

After encouraging everyone for a few words, Ma Mingjiang and Su Zongxi asked Shen Mingxuan to find a quiet office to chat.

Inside the room, Ma Mingjiang and Shen Mingxuan learned about the situation at Boeing.

More than half an hour later, there was a knock on their office door. It turned out that it was the general manager of Boeing who learned of their arrival and came over to greet them enthusiastically.

Haha, luckily it wasn’t the previous vice president, otherwise, Ma Mingjiang and the others would have been very angry.

The general manager didn't know if he had heard any rumors, so he invited Ma Mingjiang and the other man to his office and treated them to good cigarettes and wine.

He then personally arranged an inspection and visit, and took Ma Mingjiang and the other person to visit Boeing.

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Su, this is Boeing's third aircraft assembly plant. Generally speaking, we don't allow outsiders to enter here, but you are an important customer of Boeing, so I will take you on a tour today."

The general manager of Boeing is quite a good person.

He took Ma Mingjiang and the other man to visit the assembly workshop. No matter who saw it, they would give a thumbs up to such hospitality.

After the tour, the general manager prepared a sumptuous dinner and specially invited Shen Mingxuan and the other 37 people.

There is a saying that goes, "When you give someone a gift, you must have something in mind."

Ma Mingjiang and the other man guessed that the Boeing general manager probably knew the purpose of their visit, which was why he was so serious.

At the dinner table, the general manager also took out a box of Moutai liquor. God knows where the foreigner got the Moutai from Taobao.

Ma Mingjiang and Su Zongxi were very happy to see Moutai liquor in a foreign country, and Shen Mingxuan and others were even more delighted.

This is America, thousands of miles away from their motherland. They would be extremely happy if they had even a little bit of something from their hometown, even a piece of soil, let alone the Moutai liquor they are drooling over?
This is the national liquor. Many people have only heard of it but have never tasted it.

As pilots, they had money and tickets. When they were in China, they naturally drank alcohol frequently, and of course they had also drunk Moutai.

Chelsea

When the general manager of Boeing saw the reactions of Ma Mingjiang and others, he immediately knew that today's meal was a sure thing.

The general manager certainly knows that Chinese people like to talk about things at the dinner table and also like to drink Moutai.

Actually, the reason why he knew it so clearly was thanks to the deputy general manager who had been fired last time. Otherwise, he would not have known it.

In mainland China, the economy is developing very rapidly, changing almost every year. This is the information the Boeing general manager learned from his friends.

In the future, China will probably continue to purchase a large number of civil airliners.

In other words, this continent will become a new business growth point for Boeing.

Because it is a country with 9.6 million square kilometers of land, ranking third in land area among more than 190 countries in the world.

But it is unbelievable that such a huge country only has about a hundred aircraft.

You should know that in the United States, last year, the number of civil airliner aircraft in the country exceeded 3,000.

It can be said that the United States is currently the country with the largest number of civil aircraft in the world, without a doubt.

However, the land area of ​​the United States is smaller than that of China. Although it is not much less, it is still a little less.

If, hypothetically, China's economy develops, will the demand for passenger aircraft increase to hundreds or even thousands?
In short, facing such a huge market, Boeing’s general manager naturally cannot ignore it.

So he has already started preparing, and originally planned to go to Ice City again after a while to learn more about it, take a walk around in person, and travel around.

That box of Moutai was just a gift from his friend. He had tried this liquor before and found it too strong and not suitable for him. He had originally planned to put it in the garage or give it away.

I never thought that today I would be able to help him get the order.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the general manager of Boeing couldn't hold back and asked the first question:

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Su, you've both visited Boeing today. I believe you have a good understanding of our strengths. So, will you place another order for aircraft this time?"

Ma Mingjiang and Su Zongxi looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

The purpose of their visit to Boeing was to purchase an aircraft, but not a 737, but a Boeing 747.

这款飞机有很多个型号，比如747-100、747SP、747-200和747-300等不同型号，以及即将要启动的747-400。

Regardless of the model, Northern Airlines only needs to order two, because this is a large aircraft that can be used for commercial purposes or as a cargo transport aircraft.

So why did Northern Airlines suddenly have the money to purchase such a large passenger aircraft?
