Chapter 3 Is Export Earnings Reliable?
"Eight feet, go take a look." Liu Changjiang, a foreman in his forties, said to Chen Jinnan.
Eight feet is Chen Jinnan's nickname.
Nicknames are mostly exaggerated on a person's outstanding features. He is said to have this nickname because he is eight feet tall and has a waist circumference of eight feet.
At the beginning, everyone thought it was funny and called him like a trend. Over time, the apt nickname of Chen Bachi spread. Even elders like Liu Changjiang are all eight feet and eight feet screaming.
Chen Jinnan walked up to Yu Sheng and asked, "Shengzi, what are you doing here?" ”
Yu Sheng looked around for the tools that worked, turned around and replied, "Make a game console." ”
"Game consoles? What's that? Chen Bachi scratched his head and asked.
Yu Sheng took out the sample drawings he had drawn, and compared them for a while, which can be regarded as explaining what a game console is.
"How?" Yu Sheng finished describing the appearance of the game console and asked Chen Jinnan.
"It's kind of interesting, you can really think about having a child...... But what's the use of this thing? Chen Bachi wondered.
The action for the rest of my life paused, yes, game consoles, video games, what's the use?
Yu Sheng thought for half a minute before replying, "It can make the people who play happy!" ”
"Okay...... You do it first......" Chen Bachi saw the little star in his eyes for the rest of his life, and he knew that he couldn't stop his whimsy. retreated to Liu Changjiang's side and told him what he was going to do for the rest of his life.
Liu Changjiang frowned, staring at the rest of his life busy on the side, and seeing that he was playing his own and didn't trouble anyone, he said, "Don't worry about him, let him play by himself." ”
The machine was restored, the silence was broken, and the plant was noisy.
Yu Sheng turned a deaf ear to the noise of the machine, holding a square piece of wood in his left hand and drawing a debut on it with a painting stone in his right hand.
Not quite right.
He tilted his head in thought, comparing the game console in his mind with the piece of wood in his hand. After thinking for a while, he erased a painted white path and drew a new one.
Although he has lived in the factory for a few years for the rest of his life, he has never worked, and his hands-on ability is not strong.
Busy work, hours passed. He had just pulled out a square groove.
After Liu Changjiang's things were done, Chen Bachi came over, he looked at the progress that had not made much progress on the rest of his life, and said a little unbearably, "Shengzi, I'll help you." ”
As a second-level worker, Chen Bachi's hands-on ability is naturally extremely strong. It didn't take long for the rest of my life to make a rough shape out of wood, according to the drawings and descriptions of the rest of my life.
During this time, I was not idle for the rest of my life, not only watching Chen Bachi's movements, but also learning a lot of small skills. I also did it myself and made a few small parts of the game console.
He held a small wooden ring in one hand and a small pillar in the other hand and said, "There should be two small holes at the bottom, disturb the flow of water, and let this fit on this." ”
"Hmm...... It's a bit harder. Chen Bachi said. The two men were silent and began to think about ways to implement this function.
The rest of my life searched in the factory and found a thin-edged hose for the airtight core of bicycles, which is quite versatile, and is also used to tie the wrist when injecting infusions.
"Do you think it's going to work?" Yu Sheng asked.
When Chen Bachi saw the hose, he remembered the structure of the airtight core and had an idea.
The two of them began to be real.
The next few days. For the rest of his life, he slept during the day and read the "video game notebook", and at night he was busy with himself, and then he would do it with him after Chen Bachi was done.
The hard work paid off, and at dawn on the third day, the two made the first "hydraulic game machine" that could be fun.
The night sky was dark blue, and Chen Bachi, who was in the factory, pinched the buttons on both sides, looked at the small wooden rings immersed in the water under the thin glass, and tried to make all the circles hang on the small wooden pillars.
"How's it going, isn't it fun?" Yu Sheng asked.
"It's fun, it's a good idea to have a child." Chen Jinnan boasted, "It's just a little small, if only it were as big as the one at the beginning." ”
This "hydraulic game machine", which can already be played, is not much smaller than the original machine at the beginning.
After reading the "video game notebook" for the rest of my life, I felt that the positioning of the "hydro game machine" was a handheld game machine, the kind of machine that could be portable, carried in my pocket, and played if I wanted to. So, it can't be too big, it has to be small.
"That's because your hands are too big, so you feel small, you see, I don't feel small when I hold it." Take it for the rest of your life and put it in your own hands.
"It's not easy to make it......" Yu Sheng suddenly sighed as he pressed the button.
It's really not easy.
Yu Sheng and Chen Jinnan have been in the past two days, and they don't know how many problems have been solved.
When the squirting water flow structure was realized, I thought it would be okay for the rest of my life.
I didn't think that the first machine that was assembled was like a sieve, leaking all over the body.
The problem of airtightness was solved, and it was found that the wood soaked in water for a long time would absorb water and deform.
It didn't absorb water and was deformed, and he had a lot of fun for the rest of his life, dancing with his hands, and accidentally didn't hold it, and dropped it on the ground, and the glass shattered, cutting his hands.
How can a gaming console hurt people?
For the rest of his life, he put a wide tape on the outside of the glass plate, so that even if it broke, it would still be glued to the tape and would not pierce people.
"Shengzi, what are you going to do with it, take it out and sell it?" Chen Bachi asked.
"Not for sale...... Let's make a send-off Sister Xue first, and wish her to be admitted to college. The rest ...... Eight feet, do you know the Shanqi Provincial Trade Fair in a few days? Yu Sheng asked.
"How can I not know that these days, our factory, for this expo, but it has taken a lot of effort, if a foreigner sees our factory's products and places an order. Our factory, you can earn foreign exchange! Chen Jinnan said excitedly.
Forex, earn Forex!
1982 was the third year of reform and opening up. Foreign exchange reserves are unusually scarce. Only sixty-nine billion, less than seven billion dollars. This may seem like a lot, but it's really not much for a country that is in ruins, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's stretched.
What is forex used for? Foreign exchange can be used to purchase equipment, technology, and materials that are most needed in China.
Some people may say that it would be nice to want foreign exchange to export things.
But it's not that simple.
In addition to mineral resources, as well as traditional textiles and porcelain with Chinese characteristics, it is difficult to export other products and industrial products.
For no other reason, the product is too backward.
Although the domestic industrial system is complete, the level is by no means advanced, and the gap with the world average is somewhat large, even if it is cheap, there is almost no competitiveness in the international market.
Although Shanqi Province has a lot of ideas about earning foreign exchange through exports, it always feels that it cannot be used. After studying for a long time, it was decided to introduce the model of the Guangzhou Trade Expo. Since you don't know what products can be exported, then put everything you can on the table and let foreigners pick and choose.
"Son, are you sure there can be a foreigner who likes it? The most advanced equipment in the factory may not be visible to foreigners. Chen Jinnan asked, with a strange expression, he wondered in his heart, is the birth of a child lost, how can toys be exported to earn foreign exchange.
"Why not?" Yu Sheng said firmly, "Foreign countries are not like domestic countries, where you need cloth tickets to buy cloth and meat tickets to buy meat." They have enough material resources, they eat what they want, and buy what they want. At this time, they are pursuing a rich spiritual life. And that's what the console does! ”
"Is that so?" Chen Jinnan listened to the voice of the rest of his life and was not quite convinced. He can't imagine the days when he can wear whatever he wants and eat whatever he wants.
"That's right! That's it! One day, we will have this kind of life. It's dawn, let's go home, I'll go talk to my dad! ”
Yu Sheng said impassionedly.
The morning sun was golden on the horizon, and Chen Bachi looked at the back of Yu Sheng's head held high and shook his head.
