Chapter 45 Talking and laughing at Maupassant, going to and from Flaubert

The newly installed telephone in Gu Biao's bedroom can make international calls, which is very rare in China in 79 years.

Who made him the Foreign Affairs Academy, the entire diplomatic system had the highest authority for international liaison at that time. In contrast, in the same period, although the "XX General Administration" had no foreign-related business, although the administrative level was higher, it did not necessarily have an international long-distance switchboard.

2 pieces of 75 cents a minute, the black market exchange rate of more than 24 yuan, each time you dial, there is no program-controlled international area code, you need to manually transfer.

The fully automatic program-controlled switch was not popularized in the domestic telecommunications sector until about 87 years, and Huawei, which was famous in later generations, started with this.

Before the advent of program-controlled switches, there were only 3-digit large cities with area codes from 010 to 029 in China, which could directly dial the area code to make long-distance calls. If you want to hit a small city outside the top 10 in the country, you must also transfer it manually.

Therefore, whenever anyone is beside Gu Biao, they can hear him dictating instructions such as "pick me up from Iraq" and "give me a book", and then there will be a female operator with a sweet voice answering from the other end.

Every time this voice sounds, whether it is a roommate or a horse boy, there will be a burst of liver tremors. Thinking of the 24 yuan expenditure in that minute, I would consciously put down what I was doing, leave the dormitory and close the door from the outside, and then stand in the corridor to read a book, or chat softly.

In this era, people have a relatively strong sense of secrecy, and they have not eased up from their vigilance against the enemy; as long as it is an international long distance, it is a state secret by default, and what should not be listened to cannot be heard.

The Iraqi side is four hours behind the domestic one, so Gu Biao's side has dinner here, and Major Zhang's China Construction Company should have just gone to work after the lunch break, and it took a while to get through the phone.

Gu Biao roughly picked out some suitable parts of his thoughts and judgments, and slightly revealed them, so that the other party could check - mainly to know where the gyroscope and force feedback sensor technology of the domestic naval equipment institute has been, and whether there is a gap with the top civilian technology in the United States.

That was the basis of everything he envisioned this afternoon.

Zhang Zhong has been away from the equipment institute for three or four months, and many things are not connected, but he trusts Gu Biao and gives him a lot of contacts. There is a section chief of the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Ordnance Industry, who was Zhang Zhong's counterpart coordinator when he was in the unit, and two researchers from the Naval Equipment Planning Institute.

"Xiao Gu, Section Chief Qiu and Researcher Wu, I will give them two international calls back in two days of National Day, explain your situation clearly, and pave the way. You go to the door again, or they won't rush to talk to you. Zhang Zhong promised to be very righteous on the phone, and he was willing to pave the way for Gu Biao.

"Yo, so polite, then thank you. I'm at a loss for the way. Gu Biao said with a smile.

Zhang Zhong: "Where to say, we are also reciprocating, if you don't underestimate your good foundation in Iraq, the current business development of our China State Construction Company is not so easy, as long as I can help you, it should be." ”

In the final analysis, those who are involved in foreign affairs business rely on their brothers and friends, and they may be used at some point.

"Then I'll wait for the news, and then contact me specifically on the National Day, and if there is any unclassified information, you can fax it directly to me and send it to the school switchboard. ”

Then, Gu Biao hung up the phone and went to envelop the new horse.

The four younger brothers all became more and more in awe of him.

……

The Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Ordnance Industry and the Naval Equipment Planning Institute are in a hurry.

Gu Biao needs to slowly pave the road and explore the layout at the same time. The step is big, and it is easy to pull the egg, but it is suspected that he has ulterior motives.

Therefore, it was delayed until the three-day National Day holiday, and after Zhang Zhong finished greeting him, he contacted Section Chief Qiu and researcher Wu Junhai for the first time, and initially gained the trust of the other party, so that the other party gradually believed that "this little comrade is covered by the identity of a Hong Kong businessman and can get some things that cannot be obtained through formal channels."

(At that time, the National Day was a 2-day holiday, plus a single day off on Sunday on September 30, for a total of 3 days.) )

Then, it is possible for them to show Gu Xiao some demand-oriented and less confidential information, so that he can know the current situation in this field in the country - these materials also cannot be casually leaked to foreigners, because if they fall into the hands of the coordinators in Batumi, maybe they will know that "it turns out that the Chinese are currently cooking to such an extent that they can't even make this, so we will quickly add them to the embargoed list."

Don't think that in the field of business technology theft, only "how advanced we are" is confidential, and "to what extent we have eaten" is also confidential.

If it is true that the dish surprises the enemy, then for the time being, you may be able to deceive some benefits. Although this situation is estimated to be between 79 and 81 years, it is slightly more obvious. After 82 years, with the thorough communication between the East and the West, and the rapid catch-up of domestic technology, there are many obviously too low shortcomings, and there is nothing to hide, and they know each other's details.

What Gu Biao can do is to make up for the shortcomings of the departments that he can influence in the past two years, take a little less than one or two detours, and make up for the upper limit that can be lifted in one step.

Gain trust, investigate the current situation in China, understand where the upper limit of foreign civilian technology is, compare the gap between inside and outside, and finally put forward the demand through Zhang Zhong's channel......

After doing all this, Gu Biao estimates that it will take at least more than a month.

Therefore, until mid-November, he should not have the opportunity to go abroad for this matter.

However, this is also in line with Gu Biao's intention - he also hopes that his film and television copyright agency business in Xiangjiang can spread a little more, otherwise even if he wants to contact people in the film and television industry in Xiangjiang to borrow skin, I am afraid that he may not even be qualified to ask for a meeting.

Han Ting's business on Yueben's side was not much to help when it first started. It is necessary to wait for the test sales model to become popular, and there are electronic giants or entertainment industry peers willing to take over, so that Gu Biao can play a role.

At the same time, as a junior student, Gu Biao's own schoolwork is actually very busy. He wants to complete the 3+2 5-year master's degree to 3+1, and this year he has to take all the courses at the undergraduate level. Even get a little bit more graduate level topics to do first, otherwise it will definitely not be enough credits and results at that time.

Originally, the Foreign Affairs University was in its fourth year and still had the last three cultural credits, so the pressure can be imagined.

Who made the academic attitude of this era so rigorous?

Even if Gu Biao has the privilege, at best, he will apply to open a small stove for him in advance in the middle of the term, arrange credit exams for two courses, and kill one of them will be counted as one.

All this timeline is coordinated, and basically it will not be completed until early November, and then there will be time to borrow the foreign affairs order of the Ministry of Ordnance Industry to take a long leave to go abroad.

……

The words are divided into two ends.

Gu Biao is at the same time of remote control, layout, and crazy learning in China.

After the three-day National Day holiday, Han Ting, who was already relaxed, finally set foot on the land of Yuben.

She changed the style of not wearing makeup and dressing plainly for the past four or five years, but dressed herself up to the fullest, forgetting the past and welcoming a new life.

Women, even if they are old, must live a wonderful life for themselves.

When stepping down the gangway, the thin skirt of the professional women's dress was blown by the breeze, and she had a bit of the mature appearance of Fang Yanyun in "Hujiang Beach" performed by Chen Shu in later generations.

However, the temperament is more elegant, not a "courtesan" character, but like the hostess of a high-end salon in Paris in the 19th century, those countesses who talk and laugh at Maupassant and go to and from Flaubert.

After getting off Narita Airport, she did not go straight to Tokyo, but went to nearby Yokohama according to the address given by Gu Ao.

At the end of the 70s, there were three main parts of the layout of the electronics industry.

First of all, in terms of components and monocrystalline silicon, Fukuoka and Nagasaki in Kyushu are relatively dense, and the industrial clusters are strong.

On the other hand, major manufacturers such as Panasonic of household appliances have their headquarters in Osaka and their production bases in Kobe.

As for the Keihin Industrial Zone, which was once the most powerful in the field of high-precision electronic instruments, due to the rising housing prices in Tokyo, it has begun to see a recession of industrial hollowing out - roughly similar to the skyrocketing housing prices in Shenzhen after 2016, and even Huawei had to move to Dongguan County.

The last foothold of electronics manufacturing in the Keihin Industrial Zone has retreated to Yokohama and Chiba prefectures. In the future, after the rise of the LCD and LED industries, as the profits of Korean and Taiwanese manufacturers are squeezed, the Japanese will further retreat to Shizuoka Prefecture.

After all, 85 years later, when the yen rose to its peak after the Plaza Accord and housing prices in Tokyo peaked at the same time, it was claimed that "the money to buy Tokyo was enough to buy the whole of the United States."

Now engaged in electronic maintenance, in Tokyo will definitely not survive, after Gu Biao let his Xiangjiang agent inspect, naturally have to follow the trend, the headquarters in Japan in the suburbs of Yokohama, as much as possible to save some money.

Registering a subsidiary and finding a business location, these tasks do not need to be solved by Han Ting, she can move in with her bag and sleep directly in the office.

But the recruitment of personnel will be handled by Han Ting herself.

She is still a bare-bones commander, first bought all the newspapers and magazines in the nearby market, found the contact information, and then began to compare prices to publish some cost-effective recruitment advertisements.

In the later stage, Gu Biao can poach a deputy in charge of finance and supply chain from Lin Guodong, but everyone else has to do it in the local area.

Two days later, the first interview.

There were only two low-level technicians who had worked as assistants in an electrical repair shop, but even so, Han Ting had to interview in person.

When one of them introduced each other to each other, they heard Han Ting's name and asked her where she was from.

Han Ting, of course, said that she was Chinese.

The other party looked incredulous, confirming whether it was a Xiangjiang person or a Wanwan person.

Han Ting couldn't wipe her face, after all, she had just come out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, how could she insult the national character, so she insisted on emphasizing that she was from the mainland.

As a result, the other party disbelievably thought she was a liar, turned around and left, and seemed to be completely unable to imagine that he was working for a mainlander, but it seemed to insult his dignity.

The other one is not cheeky, but Han Ting tested it and found that the basic knowledge is really commonplace, and even she, a person who has made up for common sense for a week, is not as good. It is estimated that only old-fashioned electrical appliances will be repaired to connect wires, and even integrated circuits have not been repaired.

"We can't afford to waste any more money on job ads...... Alas, bear with the humiliation, the next time a candidate asks, just say that I am from Xiangjiang Company, after all, this is also for the country. Thinking of the recruitment advertising fee that might cost Gu Biao hundreds of yuan in vain, Han Ting felt a burst of self-blame in her heart.

After switching her mentality, Han Ting's efficiency finally improved a bit, and it only took five days to recruit at least a few workers needed for assembly and testing.

In addition, there is also a staff responsible for component procurement and marketing - this is obviously a domestic feature, and the freak of "supply and marketing department" has been integrated. But fortunately, there is no sales business that needs Japanese personnel to run now, so there is no problem in doing so.

The first batch of semi-finished game consoles in China also arrived at the port of Yokohama on the weekend of the second week after her arrival.
