Chapter 434

After Engineer Ni said "program-controlled switch," he wanted to continue to explain a few words, but was interrupted by Liu Lianxiang.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Pei, you should also see that our Engineer Ni is a rigorous person.

He said he can research program-controlled switches because we already have technical achievements in this area, and it's just a difference from the laboratory to the factory. You must understand the difference between laboratory products and mass-produced products, right?"

"But we also have research capabilities for personal computers. We produced the first 103 computer in 1958, and the 104 computer produced in 1959 reached a world-class level. What we lack now is just a little bit of funds..."

Liu Lianxiang said a lot, and Engineer Ni should have realized something, so he had to sit there and drink tea silently. The dishes on the table were very rich, but he didn't move his chopsticks much.

However, after Pei Wencong listened quietly to Liu Lianxiang's introduction of strength, he still smiled and asked Engineer Ni: "Mr. Ni, can you tell us exactly how big the gap is between the research difficulty of program-controlled switches and personal computers?"

"."

Everyone looked at Engineer Ni again, and some even stepped on his shoes under the table.

After a few seconds of silence, Engineer Ni said: "Mr. Pei, forgive me for being blunt, I don't know if you understand the difference between scientific research and business. I am very impressed that you want to make our own personal computers,

But if a personal computer is put into scientific research, it needs to be divided into more than a dozen scientific research projects, data processor, image processor, data storage, running storage..."

"And among these projects, some are conditions that we completely lack in China. If you can accept... a research cycle of five to ten years, and research funds of 100 million US dollars, we can take over this cooperation project..."

"But program-controlled switches are different. Although they also belong to the category of computer equipment, their functions are relatively single, and the research difficulty is much smaller. Moreover, the prospects of program-controlled switches in the mainland are also very good.

Two years ago, Fujian Province first introduced Fujitsu's F150 program-controlled switch, which received the visit and support of high-level leaders, and has clearly started the upgrade in telecommunications. Moreover, you know the benefits of having support from above when developing a technology in the mainland..."

Engineer Ni also said a lot, but it was completely different from Liu Lianxiang's lot.

Liu Lianxiang was like a fake big empty manufacturer who waved his fist and shouted the slogan "We surpass xx in minutes."

And Engineer Ni, down-to-earth and seeking truth from facts, made the difficulties, needs, and prospects faced clear to Pei Wencong.

That means if you are not afraid of throwing money, I am very happy to take over the personal computer research project. If you want to see profits in the short term, then I will engage in program-controlled switches for you, and guarantee to research it for you.

Now Pei Wencong understood why Li Ye insisted on pulling this Engineer Ni to eat.

People are willing to give you a guarantee, while looking at Manager Liu, after saying that lot just now, Pei Wencong only understood five words—hurry up and give me money.

"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. Mr. Ni made me, who didn't understand computers before, know how to choose. I will toast Mr. Ni first."

Pei Wencong toasted Engineer Ni first, then smiled and said to Liu Lianxiang: "Manager Liu, I will send someone to discuss the cooperation issue of program-controlled switches with you as soon as possible. I hope you will make some preparations in technical data, because the next person to come will be someone who understands computers!"

"No problem, Mr. Pei, rest assured, our technology is the best in the mainland. If we can't do it, others definitely can't do it."

Liu Lianxiang patted his chest and gave Pei Wencong a guarantee, and then it was a new round of persuading to drink and toasting.

At this time, the role of Li Ye and Veronica was shown. The two of them protected Pei Wencong from left and right, blocking two-thirds of the persuading to drink and toasting.

Liu Lianxiang paid attention to Li Ye several times, and suddenly said: "Listening to the little brother's accent, not a Hong Kong person, right?"

Li Ye smiled and nodded: "I am from Dongshan, now a student at Jingda. I have some exchanges with Mr. Pei in literature, and later heard about the roller skates..."

"Jingda!" Liu Lianxiang realized: "Then little brother can consider coming to our place after graduation. Don't look at our unit as small, but it can solve the Beijing household registration, and the salary is higher than other units..."

Li Ye smiled without saying a word.

I believe you a ghost!

But it must be said that Liu Lianxiang's ability to be slick and sophisticated has been very proficient. In this era, only half of the university students can stay in Beijing after graduation. A Beijing household registration is more attractive than the carrot in front of the little white rabbit.

Being able to pull Li Ye over can be considered as forming a good relationship with Pei Wencong.

It's just that Liu Lianxiang misread the person. He thought Li Ye was just a guide who provided "roller skate" information, never expecting that he was the real boss.

And this boss also knew his character and background.

This meal was drunk for three hours before it was considered a happy host and guest.

Liu Lianxiang rushed to pay the bill, and Pei Wencong was not stingy, letting his secretary Veronica take out a stack of foreign exchange directly.

"This is the intention money. Later, my secretary will be responsible for docking with you on the following matters. Please be sure to treat our cooperation seriously and don't let us down."

"Okay, okay, definitely, definitely... definitely won't let you down."

Liu Lianxiang was surprised and excited, and sent Pei Wencong away with a full face of smiles.

However, as soon as he turned around, he complained to Engineer Ni with full resentment: "I said Old Ni, what's wrong with you today? It was originally a huge deal, but you insisted on talking it out of small-mindedness?

How big is the project of researching program-controlled switches? How much technical fee should I ask for? How much can I ask for researching personal computers?

You know the situation of our company! More than ten people are all counting on me to pull projects to eat! Now it's good, I want to open my mouth like a lion, but you pulled my teeth out..."

Engineer Ni sighed and said seriously: "I also want to eat a fat man in one bite, but the money of capitalists is not so easy to take. If you take the money and can't hand over things, what will we use to compensate others?"

"Oh Old Ni, you have been abroad for a few years, why did you learn to speak for capitalists? Leave the money matter to me, I'll bear it if something happens."

"."

Pei Wencong and Li Ye couldn't hear the conversation between Liu Lianxiang and Engineer Ni,

But after Pei Wencong got into the car, he said to Li Ye with worry: "Mr. Li, I think that Manager Liu... is not a suitable partner."

Li Ye smiled and said: "Of course he is not, but that Mr. Ni is!"

Pei Wencong also nodded and agreed: "Indeed, but that Mr. Ni seems to have low speaking power. Besides, is his guarantee for program-controlled switches too certain?

I have also contacted some scientific research personnel at Hong Kong University, and they would never make a 100% certain guarantee for a project that has not yet succeeded."

"That's because he has enough confidence."

Li Ye shook his head slowly and said: "Mr. Ni didn't lie. The mainland really has a research foundation for program-controlled switches."

Any breakthrough technological progress, in addition to the support of a series of industrial foundations, also has market demand,

So some key breakthroughs in later generations will explode at a suitable time point, and this suitable time point is the overlap of market demand and industrial conditions.

For example, the textile machinery around 1987 in the mainland, the engineering machinery around 1997, and the CNC machine tools after 2007 were all exploded by desperate counterattacks under the situation of strong demand in the mainland but being "kidnapped and dumped" by overseas companies.

Now the telecommunications network in the mainland is just the time for improvement and upgrading. Pei Wencong only noticed that one hundred families didn't have a telephone, but didn't notice that 99 of these one hundred families were thirsty for their own telephones.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

And Li Ye remembers that the first program-controlled switch in the mainland to obtain network access permission was the HJD-02 type produced by the Post and Telecommunications No. 4 Factory, and the time was the end of the 1980s.

And the first domestic large-scale digital program-controlled telephone switch was successfully developed in 1991. The successful development of this program-controlled switch completely broke the monopoly of foreign program-controlled switches on the Chinese market, and even won the 1995 National Science and Technology Progress First Prize.

Now that Li Ye, a spoiler who knows the future direction, has joined, how can it be advanced by three or five years?

It's just that Li Ye couldn't tell Pei Wencong about these things, so he could only change the method to say it.

"Believe me, Old Pei, the mainland will always have incredible talents. That Mr. Qian was worth five army divisions back then, so this Mr. Ni... is worth 100 million."

"."

Pei Wencong looked at Li Ye seriously for two seconds, then nodded and said: "I understand, I will find a way to contact Mr. Ni. If it's 100 million, is it RMB or US dollars?"

"Old Pei, what are you thinking?"

Li Ye laughed and said: "Do you think people like Mr. Ni can be smashed over by throwing money? He is not a businessman. If you send him money on the front foot, something might go wrong on the back foot."

Is Engineer Ni a person who loves money? If he loved money, he probably wouldn't have had those things happen later.

Last year, Engineer Ni was already doing well overseas, but he still gave up the high salary outside, and then bought all his money into books and brought them back to the country. Do you want to use money to smash a person like this?

It is estimated that the possibility of counter-productivity is higher.

Pei Wencong was a bit embarrassed and said apologetically: "Then Mr. Li, how should I contact Mr. Ni?"

Li Ye thought for a moment and said: "You have to make him believe that you are a person who is willing to support the computer cause in the mainland, even if you are willing to go bankrupt... Of course, you don't need to go bankrupt, you only need to pay a small part, and I will pay the rest."

"No, no, no, I am willing, Mr. Li, I am willing to dedicate all my assets."

Pei Wencong doesn't even think about saying such things now. Li Ye says to go west? Then he is willing to go to the Western Heaven.

At first, he hesitated and didn't mortgage the house, which led to his capital being less than half of Li Ye's, and now he is already three times behind Li Ye. How could he hesitate again at this time?

Li Ye smiled playfully and said: "Then Old Pei, you have to think clearly. After all, we are behind the world. This time to catch up might be a bit long, and the day to get back the capital is still far away!"

Pei Wencong immediately expressed his position: "Not afraid, even if I don't get back the capital, it's fine. I believe the mainland will not forget the contribution I made."

Looking at the firm Pei Wencong, Li Ye said lightly: "It's impossible not to get back the capital. As long as you are persistent enough, it's impossible to earn less."

Decades later, the top 100 semiconductor companies in the world, the head companies are indeed still dominated by Western companies,

But as long as you look down, starting from the 30th place, it is a piece of red, occupying more than half of the country.

"Okay, Mr. Li, I will persist. I will also cultivate trust with Mr. Ni and strive to let him understand us, believe in us, and join us as soon as possible."

"This can't be too hasty."

Li Ye smiled and said: "If you want Mr. Ni to join us, trust alone is not enough... You also have to rely on the help of opponents."

"."

With Engineer Ni's character, it is highly probable that he will not join a private team like Li Ye's, but if someone helps, it will be completely different.
