Chapter 284: Upheaval

With the arrival of the new year, after a grand year-end inventory, Chambers Xing, who had just finished Christmas and New Year's Day in the United States, hurriedly packed up his salutes and flew back to Shudu, even with his family.

Unlike Chambers salesman, his wife Elaine is not an employee in the electronics industry, and the two have known each other since high school, which is a very typical early love behavior in school.

Wang Zhengguo only met this lady roughly when he was the host for the two of them, and then helped arrange a job as an English teacher at Shu University, as for the others, there will not be much intersection, it is not the kind of existence that Wang Lie can shamelessly seduce his subordinate girlfriends.

"This is my second Spring Festival in the Republic, a very interesting festival, very distinctive. ”

The Chinese New Year holiday in the Republic is relatively long, which gives everyone time to fully relax, and Chambers's words are suddenly reminiscent of the famous joke of later generations.

It also happens that I am in a good mood now, and I have a rare opportunity to relax and brag, as a mixed-level joker in the Internet era, it can be said that it is a casual classic.

"As far as the situation has been shown in the past few days, the Republic has actually fallen into the Great Depression scenario predicted by the Western media and pessimistic economists, and you can hear me tell you more about it. ”

With great pain, he said word by word.

"Factories are closed, shops are closed, governments are shut down, the stock market is untradable, large numbers of wealthy people are dragging their families overseas, the poor are eager to exchange money for food and clothing, many families are hanging signs on both sides of their homes to express their demands, unsupervised children are lighting gunpowder and causing explosions, people who should be working are smoking, drinking, and playing cards in idleness, middle-aged and elderly people are burning incense and worshipping Buddha in groups to participate in religious activities, soldiers and police officers are forced to patrol listlessly on orders from their superiors, and only a small number of doctors are left to provide the most basic medical care.....”

Since everyone has spent two Spring Festivals in the Republic, Chambers is probably still very clear about the whole process of the Spring Festival, but he is still very puzzled by some doubts.

"It seems that there is no stock exchange on the mainland now, right? The stock market is not to mention, as for the rich people who drag their families and go overseas, I just heard that there are many students who want to go abroad, and at this time the middle class and the rich class of the entire republic do not exist, right?"

What is the most feared thing for jokers?

Undoubtedly, it's definitely the kind of guy who has no humor and is too realistic, including Chambers who deliberately picks a bone in the egg.

Although Wang Zhengguo's paragraph was copied decades later, and no revisions were made to the specific social situation of the republic in the 80s, at least there is no problem with the general direction.

However, these are not problems, Wang Zhengguo still has very important principled issues to affirm at this time, which is political correctness.

hurriedly and solemnly made his attitude clear: "No, no, no, in the republic now, there will only be one class, that is, the proletariat that occupies the dominant position of the country, and our republic is not a class society, so there is definitely no such thing as the middle class and the rich class." ”

When he said this, Wang Zhengguo really came casually, even if he had seen the de facto middle class and rich class decades later, he could still say it without psychological pressure, after all, he had heard it since he was a child.

Chambers obviously doesn't understand this kind of political terminology that is very characteristic of the republic, he has seen many rich people in the republic in recent years, such as the one in front of him is a typical example, but he just can't figure out why Wang Zhengguo denied his economic status.

"No, what you said doesn't seem quite right, including you, this country has ....."

For this kind of brainless guy, it's really unreasonable, and I can only say it more bluntly.

"Ahem, under the current republic system, it is no longer a multi-level class society, in the big family of the proletariat, it only has the difference between the first rich and the latter rich, we advocate reform and opening up, we must first get rich up a group of people, and then the first rich will lead the latter to become rich, and finally achieve common prosperity, this is the goal of socialism, after all, this poverty is not the socialism we want. ”

Sure enough, it was a very brain-burning statement, and Chambers only understood a small part, but fortunately, this understanding part alone made him know a truth: this issue has already involved a political dimension.

And as an American, he is only working in the Republic now, and if there is any political change in the future, it will be a big deal that he pats his ass and returns to Great Mirican.

"Ok, ok, I understand what you mean, now we can stop this topic, I don't need to understand the political rules of this country very deeply now, and now Yaoguang Electronics has not reached that level. But then again, I brought a piece of news from the United States this time, and I think it will definitely have an impact on our Yaoguang Electronics. ”

Successful entrepreneurs almost must pay attention to politics, not to mention in-depth participation, but also must understand high-level political trends, and this is more obvious in state-owned enterprises, such as Yaoguang Electronics, a Sino-foreign joint venture, although it is very influential in the PC computer industry, but after all, it has not yet reached that time.

Lowered his voice and revealed: "I met with Dr. Wang An when I returned to Boston this time, he originally planned to visit the Republic in the first half of '86, but the news from the White House is that Dr. Wang An was selected as one of the 12 most outstanding immigrants in the United States, and President Reagan will present the award at the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty on July 6, so he temporarily changed his itinerary to come to the Republic after receiving the award." ”

History always has an astonishing inertia, and the high-level Dr. Wang An accepted the official invitation of the Republic to visit the mainland, which was after the doctor himself won the award in 86, which can be said to be at the time of his fame.

According to the situation at that time, there is actually a kind of evaluation of the actions of the republic:, my distant relatives have made a lot of money, so we have to invite someone to our house as a guest, pull in the relationship, and see if we can get some benefits.

Well, yes, that's probably how it feels.

Although the current situation has changed somewhat, for example, the benefits of Dr. Wang An have already been obtained by Wang Zhengguo, and the joint venture projects and talent investment have all been put into the hands of Yaoguang Electronics.

For the current face, it is probably irresponsible to guess that Dr. Wang An's thoughts should be that the old man has not pursued much money at this time, only the "name" and the deep desire to return to his hometown, which is what moves him.

And won the 12 Most Outstanding Immigrants Award from the President of the United States himself, this aura is absolutely awesome enough, I didn't know that there was such a thing before, naturally when I went back to the Republic to visit, but now I know that there is this opportunity to brush up fame, then I will definitely have to change the itinerary.

To take the simplest example, if it is an ordinary person, after working hard for many years, he has a small net worth and plans to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, and suddenly the 4th son store said that there is a luxury car that he ordered and can be in place in half a month.

Well, change the itinerary, wait for the new car to arrive in place, and then drive back to your hometown to pretend to be forced, this is the real homecoming!

"It's a good thing that Dr. Wang An can win such an influential award, I think in the near future, Wang An Computer Company will beat IBM. ”

Saying things that he felt unreliable against his will, this made Wang Zhengguo feel as disgusting as eating a fly, and at this time, it is really ridiculous to expect Wang An Computer to defeat IBM.

For Wang An Computer, outsiders may still think that the company is in full swing, but only the company's own people and shareholders know that Wang An Computer at this time has long been in the quagmire of internal and external difficulties and cannot get out.

Since the third and fourth quarters of 85, the company's products began to be unsalable, and the turnover has plummeted.

In the fourth quarter, the company's loss was as high as $109 million, and the profit was 84 years old, successfully achieving a gorgeous plunge into the water, which was directly down 93%, and the only $15.5 million gross profit was far from being able to supply the company's daily huge expenses.

Of course, the real reason for this loss was actually covered up in the early stage, for example, the company's loss in the third quarter was taken for granted to be affected by the depression of the entire U.S. electronics industry, and the loss and profit declined, which is a common phenomenon in the whole industry, and Wang An computer was only more affected.

The depression of the American electronics industry in the mid-eighties is a fact.

This is mainly due to the complete victory of Japanese industry in the early 80's TV trade war between Japan and the United States, which greatly encouraged the entire Japanese industry, coupled with the boom of the Japanese electronics industry in the 80s.

Therefore, the ambitious little book swelled again, and once again mustered up the courage to stand on the Fuji Pass and shout, and he wanted to launch an impact on the world's high-tech market.

The electronics industry in the United States should also be affected, including a small depression in the computer industry, which is mainly affected by the electronics industry as a whole, but is it actually possible to say that Japanese PCs will hit the American market?

This is obviously impossible!

In September 1985, the Yankees learned the lesson of the U.S. government's inaction in the early 80s, which led to the fiasco of the U.S. television industry.

The United States, Britain, and France sat at the negotiating table as the victorious countries of World War II, and under the threat of various military exercises of the US military bases in Japan behind them, they directly pulled Germany and Japan out and intimidated them, and the two Axis powers withered in an instant, and the Plaza Accord came from this.
