Chapter 134: A Chance Encounter
A few decades later, people's impression of Xiangjiang is a city with developed tertiary industries such as commerce, tourism, and finance, which is indeed a fact at that time, but in the 80s, as one of the four tigers, the manufacturing industry is absolutely not negligible, and its semiconductor industry started not to lag behind the Great Universe and Duwan at the same time.
In the early 80s alone, there were more than five computer production companies in Xiangjiang, although all of them produced some products outside the IBM-PC standard, but it was precisely in this way that a company specializing in the production of 6502 CPU processing was able to support in Xiangjiang: Xiangjiang Huake Electronics.
It is true that at this time, Huake Electronics Company only produces 6502 series processors, and it is certainly impossible to say that the complete processor development and production process is definitely impossible to do, but the bad guys have also launched a series of development single-board computers around the 6502 processor, which can be regarded as having a certain technical strength, which is stronger than the great universe country of the same period.
As for Dumb Bay, not to mention, at this time there is no so-called "foundry" at all, the artifact of "one core is difficult, nine cores are onlookers" is still in a state of chaos, and the electronics industry in the 80s is not much better than the mainland.
To say why Xiangjiang's electronics industry will slowly and completely abandon, while the Gulf and the Great Universe can rise, there are too many problems involved, and I can't finish talking about it for a while, and it can only be said in one word. If it was not the Z-80 that was popular in the domestic scientific research and industry circles in the 80s, if the businessmen in Xiangjiang could be smarter, if .....
The fact is not so if, the backwardness of the actual Xiangjiang electronics industry is inevitable, even Wang Zhengguo can't do it, now he can only manage the snow in front of his door, if you need to use the 6502 processor, then purchase a batch, at least people Huake Electronics is still unlimited.
Although there are not as many people waiting to buy sunglasses outside the living room of Huake Electronics, for this kind of company in the upstream of the industrial chain, as long as there is a customer queuing phenomenon, this is the in the.
Unlike Shuhang Optics, Huake Electronics has also opened a pantry, which is specially used for customers waiting in line to sit temporarily, and when Wang Zhengguo arrived, he had already seen three waves of people sitting in the room, each of whom was discussing their own affairs.
Seeing that there were still three waves of people waiting in line in front of him, he could roughly guess that he would definitely have to wait for a while, so he would sit down and sort out his thoughts first. In contemplation, I began to hear all kinds of small muttering, most of them talking about product procurement, in various languages, and the most noticeable of them was the group of white people closest to Wang Zhengguo muttering something in English.
It's a strange phenomenon, European and American whites actually traveled thousands of miles to Xiangjiang to purchase the 6502 series processors that have been rotten in Europe and the United States, is this the art of reluctance, or the art of performance, anyway, Wang Zhengguo felt an indescribable weirdness, and continued to listen with his ears pricked up, but he didn't expect the information behind him to surprise him even more.
"Armco requires a variety of electronic component procurement channels, but I don't think it's necessary to go to the Asia-Pacific region to investigate, like the 6502 processor, I don't think there is any need to pay attention to it, it's completely ......"
In a very short sentence, if it were an ordinary person, maybe they really couldn't see the doorway, or they might think that an employee of a certain company was complaining about a wrong decision of the company, but Wang Zhengguo was different, as a senior military fan, how could he not know what "Amsco" meant.
I opened my eyes and looked at the faces of this group of people, and I already had a more reliable conjecture in my heart, the so-called "Amsco", which sounds like just an ordinary company to ordinary people, actually represents a company far more than the ordinary sense, and can use this name in Western countries, and also diversify procurement channels at any cost, then it can only be Amosco from South Africa.
In the republic, the unit that manages the development, planning, and production of the entire military industry in a unified manner is called the Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense. The unit that is also responsible for related work in South Africa is called Amsco, of course, Amsco in South Africa appears in the name of the company, and it is actually doing the business of the state unit.
To say that South Africa is a country that has been subject to international sanctions because of some human rights issues, and it happens to be facing tremendous external pressure, so its military industry has always been regarded as a world-class standard, and it also produces and maintains many types of military products, and in some fields, it is even more powerful than the military industry of the Republic.
It is also because of the sanctions, now to diversify the procurement channels of various electronic components, which is actually understandable, it seems normal to come to East Asia to investigate, the military industry has begun to use the microcomputer processor is certainly a key point, the relevant personnel to Huake Electronics inspection is not strange.
Seeing that another wave of people next to him had gone out, only Wang Zhengguo and these South Africans were left in the house, so he whispered: "Hello, please forgive me for accidentally overhearing your conversation just now, but it's not a big deal." Now I want to say that if you're from South Africa, I think we'll need to talk about it in detail, because I'm in the same industry as you. ”
Being able to meet relevant personnel in the South African military industry is as small as the chance of finding a needle in a haystack, and now taking advantage of South Africa's international sanctions, if you can't find a way to cooperate, this is simply sorry for your conscience, Wang Zhengguo couldn't suppress his inner excitement, and spoke directly.
The other party obviously didn't expect that his conversation was overheard, and what was even more dangerous was that he was also seen by others, and he was also scared out of a cold sweat behind him, after all, what they are doing now is really not very upright, but fortunately, the other party seems to have no malicious intent, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and the white man led by him glared fiercely at the young man who was talking nonsense.
"Hello, what did you just say, can you elaborate on it a little more?"
These South Africans are quite cautious, and they can understand when they think about it: "I know what Armsco means in South Africa, and I can guess what industry you do, but don't worry, I am from the other continent connected by the Xiangjiang River, and I am engaged in the same industry as you. "Introducing myself with a smile again, I believe that this time the South Africans will understand.
Sure enough, after hearing Wang Zhengguo's words, this group of whites were all surprised again and again, Wang Zhengguo felt that it was a small chance of an accidental event to be able to meet South Africa's military industry practitioners, and these South Africans did not have the same idea in their hearts, and it was also the first time for them to meet the most mysterious military personnel of the Republic of China in the five permanent members of the United Nations.
After reacting, he hurriedly whispered: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, we will wait at the door of this company in two hours, I believe our meeting will have historic significance." ”
I couldn't suppress my excitement, and I knew that this time I had come to the right place, as one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, the republic felt very mysterious to the outside world, and the huge army, as well as the more mysterious military industry behind it, these are all irresistible temptations for South Africa.
