It is definitely the first time for the military industry of the Republic to meet the military workers from South Africa, at least on the surface, the Republic has not yet established formal diplomatic relations with South Africa, and its administrative capital Bisseria still has a diplomatic department stationed in the Bay of Groan.

Of course, it would be false to say that South Africa did not have diplomatic relations with the Republic and thought that the Republic would not cooperate with South Africa; as early as the late sixties, the then Republic cooperated with South Africa, and even formed a "UNITA" dominated by the United States, the Republic, South Africa, and Angola, whose purpose was to confront the "non-human movement" led by the Soviet Union to the end.

It was also from that time that the republic began to have a leg with the Yankees, and also established contact with Tanzania, the African friend of UNITA at that time, and then UNITA naturally dissolved after completing its historic mission, but the strange thing is that the republic still did not establish diplomatic relations with South Africa and the United States, but accepted a little brother Tanzania.

Considering the fact that in the late sixties, the country was able to form loose military alliances directly with countries that did not have diplomatic relations, and provided large quantities of military supplies to support the border war in South Africa, and that it would be pure nonsense to say that there could be no cooperation without diplomatic relations.

As long as there are enough interests, there is nothing that countries dare not do, but it depends on whether you are hidden enough, whether you can hide most of the non-parties, in this regard, there is no difference between the five hooligans, and it is precisely with these in mind that Wang Zhengguo dares to take the initiative to seize the opportunity to contact the South African side.

When the South African delegation went out, he turned around and found that Yang Yong was looking at him with a look of hope on the side, he seemed to want to know what he had just said, and after a little thought, he gave an ambiguous answer: "This is a very interesting delegation, I will contact them, maybe it will be useful in the future, about their identity, it is not convenient to disclose this matter before it is discussed." ”

If cooperation with South Africa can really be obtained, the two sides may not choose to make it public, after all, the current South Africa is still under joint sanctions by Western countries on the surface, and the republic, as a quasi-NATO member, will certainly not be able to declare to the whole world that I want to cooperate with South Africa.

Yang Yong is still a little curious in his heart, but he wisely chooses to shut up, sometimes curiosity is not a good thing, it is rare to be confused is the true meaning of life!

"Mr. Wang Zhengguo, please come with me now, the manager has time to see you. "The secretary of Huake Electronics is relatively sensible, and he has not been lazy because Wang Zhengguo is from the mainland, such as Huake in the upstream of the industrial chain, any customer means a large order, and no one will want to let their secretary offend customers in small things.

The other party is a very ordinary middle-aged man, Huake Electronics should also be founded by him, for this kind of entrepreneur, Wang Zhengguo still admires, because he is now one of them, the same life experience makes them more direct to start talks.

"I heard that Huake Electronics produces 6502 series CPU, I hope to be able to get the model of CPU and development single board computer produced by your company, at present, our company is still in the product development stage, the future based on the domestic teaching computer market will have great benefits, if now Huake provides relevant technical support, how much does it cost?"

The so-called talks, for Wang Zhengguo is not much necessary, the technical route has been determined a long time ago, as for the 6502 series CPU and single board computer, it is actually a fixed price, for Huake Electronics are the main products, everything is in accordance with the normal price, now we only want to talk about technical support.

To develop a cheap entry-level PC computer, Wang Zhengguo can not organize many technicians, at most, through Professor Bai Siwen's way, some teachers or students from Shudu Telecommunications Engineering School to work part-time, especially considering that it is now the summer vacation, and there is a lot of time for university teachers.

It is not enough to have temporary technical personnel, the teachers of the School of Telecommunications Engineering are all theoretical, and there may be some practical skills, but if you really want to develop the 6502 series and quickly develop a qualified cheap computer, you still have to have the technical support of the CPU manufacturer to be faster.

Obviously, the other party has been very experienced in this area, and there have never been many manufacturers who want to purchase 6502 series processors to produce computers every year, and Wang Zhengguo is not the first to put forward this kind of technical support request, but it is not the last.

"We are very willing to provide product-related technical support, but you must know that there are too many companies that purchase our 6502 series CPUs, and it is impossible for technicians to go to the door one by one, and now all I can provide is a complete set of developer guides, as for the CPU and single board computer, we can provide it in a package at a price of 200 Hong Kong dollars." Payment in USD and GBP is supported, but RMB is not supported. ”

In the early eighties, the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar was almost 8:1, roughly calculated, this quotation is not too expensive, after all, 6502 is no longer the international mainstream processor, the price should be lower, think about Nintendo's FC game console with 6502 processor The price is only 65 US dollars, but you can think about how low the price of the 6502 processor should be.

At this time, however, it was obviously an unwise choice to use the pound sterling to buy Hong Kong in large quantities, and at this time the Republic had begun to negotiate with Britain about the return of Hong Kong, so the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar and the pound, which was still relatively strong, plummeted, and the exchange rate fell sharply to 11 yuan at its lowest.

It's a pity that Wang Zhengguo only had pounds in his hands at this time, and he suddenly regretted why he didn't directly convert pounds into Hong Kong dollars in China when he came, at least the domestic demand for foreign exchange such as pounds sterling is still strong, and the Hong Kong dollars in the official hand of the republic are relatively more abundant, which is really a miscalculation.

No way, no one expected this situation now, fortunately, just buy some samples needed for development and testing, there are more than a dozen sets of about the same, and it's not too much of a loss, and it's not too late to buy 6502 processors in large quantities when it comes to mass production.

Directly mentioned ten sets of finished products out of the factory, at the door to see the South African inspectors who had been waiting for a long time, the two sides nodded slightly, and then left from Huake Electronics together, walked to a quiet coffee shop, the two sides had a tacit understanding to walk in together, looking for a secluded place.

After sitting down, the two sides had the opportunity to formally look at each other: "Hello, I'm Bronn, head of the Asian Affairs Group of the International Department of Armsco, and it's a pleasure to meet my colleagues from the Red Republic here. ”

It seems that I have met the right person this time, if it is someone else, I am afraid that there is something really wrong: "My identity is not easy to say for the time being, but what I can disclose to you is that I have enough influence in the aviation industry system of the Republic, and I am also engaged in the research and development and manufacturing of individual protective equipment, you can call me: Wang Zhengguo." ”

"Aviation industry? With all due respect, aren't your country's aviation aircraft equipped with a large number of MiG-19 fighters copied from the Soviet Union and a small number of MiG-21s? I would like to know what possibilities the two sides can have. "The image of the Republic in the international arena is almost what Blonn said, and what people say is also true, and it cannot be denied.

But there is a saying, it is called the pre-research generation, the design generation, and the equipment generation, and now is the era of equipment production MiG-21, so the development of a new generation of aircraft is the embodiment of the technical capabilities of the republic.

"That's right, we do have a large number of imitations equipped with the MiG-19, and we are still producing the MiG-21 series fighters, but like many countries with a good military industrial base, we are also preparing to develop a new generation of fighters, and I believe we have a full basis for cooperation in this regard. "In the 80s, there were more models of foreign cooperation in the Republic, and except for the model with a high degree of secrecy, many other things could be cooperated with foreign countries.
