But what's the use of tears?
The cruel world doesn't need tears. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, in order to comfort these proud sons of heaven who were woken up by a basin of cold water, the school gave them an early holiday, so that they could adjust and continue to contribute to the motherland's scientific and technological cause.
The other classmates went back to their hometown to rest, but he was the only one who stayed at home for a short time because he was worried about the things at home, and then came to Hong Kong alone after the Spring Festival to see if he could find an opportunity to let the family out of the whirlpool.
What is it that worries this college student?
Just two words: smuggling!
According to what he has learned, there are as many as 1,000 smuggling vessels in Hong Kong and Macao, which brazenly exchange smuggled goods with fishing boats along the coast at sea. There are even some Taiwanese who use fishing boats as a cover to engage in smuggling.
In some market towns along the coast, the phenomenon of blatant reselling of illicit goods has begun to appear. Some individuals in some organs and units also take part in the purchase and sale of smuggled goods.
Not only that, but in some coastal areas, the phenomenon of abandoning fishing, farming, and labor is about to appear, and it has even developed to the point of armed protection and smuggling, and carrying weapons to rob at sea。。。。。。
Such a kind of chaos makes Wu Aiguo afraid, if the country doesn't care, then what else does the customs need to do?
Because the most important role of customs is to collect customs duties.
It is important to know that tariffs play an important role in fiscal expenditure, and every citizen benefits from this, such as the state will levy tariffs for education, medical care, national defense, scientific research, national key projects, and civil servants' salary increases.
A more important role of tariffs is to increase the selling price of imported goods through the imposition of tariffs, thereby weakening their ability to compete with their own products in the market of the importing country and achieving the purpose of protecting their own infant industries.
Can the state, you say, be indifferent to this?
The state has set up a frontier position of reform and opening up in Dongguang, but this position is not a battlefield opened up for smuggling! Although it has not yet reached the central government due to many complex factors at the moment, once such a thing reaches the central government, it will usher in a thunderous blow! -------And the behind-the-scenes bosses of these smuggling groups are definitely counted as one, and they definitely didn't run!
And Wu Aiguo's father is the biggest leader of all the smuggling gangs------ because his father is the secretary of Xianwei of Wu County, if the government takes action in the future, his father will definitely be the first to bear it, so he is so worried and trying to find an effective way to save his father.
The father cannot choose who is the son, and the son cannot choose who the father is, since the father and the son are linked and inseparable, then it is necessary for Wu Aiguo to save his father.
Therefore, before coming to Hong Kong, he made an agreement with his father, who could not be convinced, that if he could find a way for his father to atone for his sins, his father would henceforth leave the smuggling business and try to do his job well.
After the agreement was reached, Wu Aiguo took some antiques and precious metals and his father's account secretly opened in Hong Kong, and left Wu County on a smuggling boat. But there are some roads, you can't leave if you want to, the reason why he agreed to his son's request is just to keep his son away from this place of right and wrong, and never come back until he finds the road he said------ so that the Wu family and him have a hope.
Now not only Wu Aiguo's father has hope, but Wu Aiguo himself also has hope, and this hope is the baby ----- CPU chip held in the palm of his hand and can't put it down!
Wu Aiguo finally calmed down his excitement, and after brewing for a long time, he asked in a dry voice: "Ye Kai, do you sell these chips?" ”
Ye Kai looked at Wu Aiguo, who had a somewhat strange expression, and said, "Sell, of course sell!" How are you interested? If you're interested, I'll give you a piece to play with. ”
"Of course I am!" Wu Aiguo's face turned red with excitement, and his voice trembled a little. "I don't need you to send it, I'll pay for it, buy all your chips."
Ye Kai was taken aback by Wu Aiguo's unexpected generosity, looked at the chip in Wu Aiguo's hand and asked in surprise: "You are a student, why do you buy so many chips?" ”
Wu Aiguo saw Ye Kai's eyes staring at the chip in his hand, for fear that Ye Kai would not agree and snatch back the only chip in his hand.
Therefore, Wu Aiguo was anxious, and prayed without hesitation: "I have a lot of use, you buy it for me, I pay for it, I pay for it, I buy it at the price of 120 US dollars a piece, okay?" ”
"$120 a piece?" Ye Kai's head was a little stuffy, this price was basically about the same as the CPU price of Intel in his previous life, but don't forget, it's still the end of the 70s, there is not so much inflation, and the dollar is still very strong, he thought that Wu Aiguo said the wrong price.
So, did Wu Aiguo really say the wrong price?
In fact, there is still a reference for the price of this chip in Wu Aiguo's heart, and the reference for this price also comes from Zilog's Z80 chip, but this Z80 chip is an 8-bit CPU, Wu Aiguo's tutor once told them that although there are many sources of this chip, there are very few turns to the school, so few that these tutors have to find various ways to buy CPUs for academic research, and Hong Kong, which is separated by a river from the mainland, has also become a place to ask for directions.
And through Hong Kong, you can buy this CPU, but the price is very expensive, and in US dollars, it costs 100 US dollars, which is the price, and there is no market, and there is a shortage of it. Therefore, referring to this price, Wu Aiguo gave a price of $120 with a little blush.
At this price, Wu Aiguo was afraid that Ye Kai would not agree, and seeing that Ye Kai did not respond for a long time, he hurriedly added: "I know that this price is too little, but I 。。。。。。 ”
"It's okay, knowing each other is even a friend." Ye Kai looked at Wu Aiguo's embarrassed face, and hurriedly intercepted Wu Aiguo's words and said: "If you really want it, you don't need 120, just take a whole number of 100 dollars!" ”
Don't say 120 US dollars, even if it is 100 US dollars, Ye Kai has made a lot of money, so Ye Kai really can't bear to pit his compatriots too much, for the sake of his inner calculations, he wronged his friend who he just met, and when he becomes stronger in the future, he will find a way to repay him, after all, he is really short of money now.
