December 3, 1980. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Time is like a rolling river, and there is no turning back, and in the blink of an eye, another year has passed in a hurry.

Over the past year or so, on this blue planet, many major events have taken place at home and abroad that are closely related to the international situation but have nothing to do with many races.

At the end of December '79, after many months of gestation, the Soviet Union finally couldn't help but send troops to Afghanistan and plunged headlong into this famous imperial cemetery. The United States, Britain, and other Western countries secretly applauded, and on the other hand, openly criticized the Soviet invasion with vigorous vigour, and adopted a resolution at the United Nations General Assembly entitled "Demanding the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan," and began to verbally and penally criticize the Soviet Union from the moral high ground.

At the same time, they have also stepped up their arms support for Afghanistan through countries such as Pakistan, which is close to Afghanistan.

It's a pity that in the face of the Soviet steel torrent, the Afghan regular army was vulnerable, and it took only three days to seize the capital Kabul, crushing the resistance of Amin's army. and killed Amin, who was the self-appointed president, and propped up a puppet regime.

But Amin's death does not mean victory in the war in Afghanistan. On the contrary, when the leaders of the orthodox countries were killed and the new puppets were not recognized, countless tribal armed and resistance groups arose throughout Afghanistan, and one warlord after another appeared on the scene, and with the vigorous assistance of Western countries, they gradually emerged, relying on the mountains to wage guerrilla warfare and tug-of-war with the Soviet army for individual rights, ambitions and national liberation.

Afghanistan, this barren land, has launched a decade-long bloody battle.

In late February, the West, which had not saved Amin, became angry and imposed economic sanctions on the Soviet Union. Relations between the Soviet Union and the West fell to a freezing point.

However, the arms traffickers of the world, especially those backed by the state, are smiling and plunging into this arms feast and making a fortune.

In April, there were large-scale anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia.

In the eyes of countries around the world, riots with a long history of anti-Chinese exclusion are just ordinary repertoire, nothing more than another riot. But no one could have imagined that this would be a rehearsal of a mass murder more than a decade later.

Subsequently, the 300,000-person demonstrations in Gwangju, South Korea, in mid-May drew people's attention away from Indonesia and disappeared into history without a trace.

In September, the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war once again became the focus of everyone's attention and another source of revenue for all arms dealers.

History, in this way, calmly and from time to time set off a wave of waves, and then according to the established track, rushing straight into the distance, unstoppable.

However, although it is still the same in the international arena, there have been small fluctuations in the domestic market.

At the Fourth Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee, Chief No. 1 formally assumed the post of general secretary and became the supreme leader, and the meeting decided for the first time the economic policy of opening up to the outside world. Stimulated by the Shekou Economic Export Zone model, the term special economic zone appeared for the first time, and the first batch of special economic zones approved reached five, namely: Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou, Xiamen, and Tianjin.

The top level pinned their hopes on moving the model of the Shekou Economic Export Zone to the above places, creating a larger scale of export economy, earning foreign exchange in large sums like military sub-regions, rapidly raising the level of the national economy, and realizing the grand blueprint for the four modernizations.

In their opinion, it's not complicated, it's just a simple copy.

The Shekou Export Special Zone, which began in late '78 and has been in operation for nearly two years, has delivered a satisfactory answer to the country.

Employing Hong Kong and Western designers, the clothing trade processed in the Shekou Economic Zone has developed exponentially. Through Hong Kong's channels, the scale of exports reached more than $300 million that year, which not only earned valuable foreign exchange for the country, but also realized profits and taxes of more than $20 million.

The completion and commissioning of the electronic industrial zone is slightly later than that of the garment export zone, but the momentum of rapid development is even more menacing. In half a year, it achieved exports of 600 million US dollars, of which more than 100 million US dollars were earned by the manufacture of electronic components and electronic components. Portable tape recorders and parts have become the bulk of exports, amounting to more than US$400 million, most of which are exported to several electronic industrial parks in Hong Kong.

In fact, compared to the dramatic expansion of the portable tape recorder market, this number is not at all much.

Because of Taiyu Technology's interest sharing strategy, Europe and the United States have each obtained the right to share the relevant patents, although they cannot be transferred or further authorized, but they can ensure that they can invest in this emerging market without any legal disputes. Of course, this also helps them to reduce their competitors, keep their prices at a high level, and obtain excess profits.

Under the joint operation of various industry giants, portable tape recorders have shown a momentum of rapid development, and the total market volume has soared from less than one billion dollars to more than eight billion!

In one year, it expanded ninefold!

In this new market created by Taiyu Technology, all the people who are involved in it are full of oil. Not to mention the industry giants in Europe and the United States, local small and medium-sized enterprises led by Taiyu Technology are also supportive, expanding the scale of factories, increasing production lines, and increasing the number of workers. Hong Kong's electronics manufacturing industry alone has created a turnover of more than 2 billion yuan, although it is still not as fast as the old capitalist countries in Europe and the United States, but the development speed is also quite amazing.

Even the Hong Kong government authorities have profited handsomely from this feast, collecting taxes until they are smiling.

Because the laptop recorder, arcade, and toy industries are booming, and the number of employed people accounts for more than half of the total number of employees, it has become the most important direction of employment.

The island's related electronic after-sales service industry has also been booming.

Under the collateral marginal effect, the local commercial real estate, cement, iron and steel, and construction industries have benefited a lot, with commercial buildings and industrial buildings being sold out, vacant office spaces rapidly decreasing, and the property market rising further. Compared to seventy-nine years, it has almost doubled!

It is the shareholders and citizens who speculate in stocks and pre-sale properties, and they all get a piece of the pie.

In addition to a few companies that have made a lot of money, Guan Fei's science and technology innovation bank and several venture capital companies have invested in many projects that have received rich returns. Dozens of factories and companies have followed this shareholder trend and developed rapidly from scratch, and several companies with good business momentum have begun to operate and go public. Once these companies are listed, even if only one of them is approved, Guan Fei can get more than ten times the return by reducing his holdings!

And this is exactly the instruction he gave to the Hong Kong side.

Seeing that the whole market is so prosperous, the Japanese are also red-eyed. The chip factories, packaging factories and other factories they promised have been grinding and not investing in large quantities. At this moment, seeing the momentum of development so fiercely, I felt that I did not enter in time, and then got the corresponding returns, the high-level waited and watched for more than a year, and finally made up their minds to increase investment, several factories are under construction day and night, and it is expected that it will be completed and put into operation in eight years.

Before that, they had already started recruiting workers, conducting training.

In order to recruit a sufficient number of qualified employees, various companies have generously donated money to establish dozens of electronic and mechanical related educational institutions in Hong Kong in the form of joint and self-run. There is a shortage of local teachers, and some teachers are even hired from Europe, America, Japan and other countries, and the number of students enrolled has reached tens of thousands.

With such a vigorous development momentum, the sales scale of hundreds of millions of electronic components, parts and complete machines in Shekou Electronic Industrial Zone is nothing at all. As much as they produce, they are snatched up by various enterprises in the Hong Kong Industrial Park, and some assembly plants even stand at the gate of the factory, grabbing a batch when they come out, and they don't even need to enter the warehouse.

When the whole market tends to be scorching, the Lok Ma Chau Electronic Industrial Park in Guan Fei's hands has also quietly completed road construction, land preparation and other work, and started the construction of water, electricity and other supporting facilities.

This pace of construction is one step slower than that of the Japanese-funded enterprises that have come later, and although others such as the Hong Kong government are a little surprised, they suspect that he has other plans. However, when the overall environment is becoming more and more exciting, there are very few people who can think clearly, and after a little thought, they are attracted to other things and forget their doubts about it.

Although the pace of construction of the Lok Ma Chau Electronics Industrial Park has been a little slow, the volume of imports from Hong Kong has been rising.

From the early days of daily necessities such as rice, to later clothing, cosmetics, electrical appliances and daily necessities, etc., the total amount has been increasing. In the past year, through the Hong Kong port, the momentum of purchasing scrap and other means of production in the world has also risen sharply, and the total amount of scrap purchased per month has reached as much as 1120,000 tons.

These materials were disembarked at the Hong Kong port, transported to Shenzhen through the Luohu port, and then transported by rail to Kunming. It was also transported to Xiangyun County by the Yunnan-Burma Railway, which had been paved by railroad tracks. The remaining 470 kilometers were transported by road and sent to the Menghai port on the border to be loaded onto a train, and sent back to the warehouse by the railway built by the military sub-district.

There were many twists and turns along the way, and it was by sea, by land, by rail, and then by land, and finally by the military sub-district to build a short-distance railway line and reach the freight yard stack.

In particular, the more than 400 kilometers of land route from Xiangyun to the border is tossed back and forth, laborious and time-consuming, and occupies a lot of transportation capacity.

However, before the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Railway, it could only use this inefficient way to barely maintain the supply of materials.

……

"The molten steel is out, and everyone is in a safe position immediately! Repeat, the molten steel is out, and everyone is immediately in a safe position! ”

Above the workshop, the red lights for the alarm flashed and the loudspeakers sounded loud warnings, even the rumbling mechanical noise could not suppress its sound.

In the workshop, all the relevant personnel have already taken refuge in the safety zone, silently watching the circuit gate open, and the dazzling red and white molten steel is like an ordinary liquid, gushing out from the taphole and falling into the ladle waiting below.

When the boiling molten steel touches the air, the surface burns violently, and some molten steel splashes out, and when it touches the surrounding supports and the ground, it splashes everywhere, causing a flame. And the surface of these specially made high-temperature resistant objects also quickly becomes dark, forming a dark imprint.

The ladle is fully connected, driven by automatic control equipment, sent to the top of the rotary table, and then tilted to the side, pouring red molten steel into it.

The molten steel fills the ladle turret and the cladding rod is activated to introduce the molten steel into the crystallizer.

After the addition of slag, the mold begins to vibrate, and the electromagnetic stirring is synchronized. At the same time, the tension leveler begins to pull the blank and draw the rapidly cooled molten steel into a steel billet.

At this time, the steel billet, which was originally bright and dazzling, has dimmed a lot.

After the steel billet entered the guide section of the casting embryo, it was suddenly accompanied by a sneering sound, and a large amount of white smoke came out of it. The smoke spread quickly, quickly diffused, and then was pumped away by the fan, revealing the steel billet again.

This is to prevent the steel billet from condensing before it is fully condensed, and there is an accident caused by steel leakage, and the upper and lower sprinklers are spraying water to cool down.

At the end of the guide section, the end electromagnetic stirrer works, and the internal texture is stirred twice, which has achieved the purpose of uniform condensation.

Even after water spray cooling, the surface temperature of the billet is still extremely high, and it emits a dark red glow.

After that, after flame cutting, casting embryos, slow cooling zone, and finishing, the steel billets that are neatly cut and of the same size are lifted by the crane and transported to the steel casting department.

With the rolling roller, after rough rolling, middle rolling and other processes, the steel billet still with a dark red light is flattened little by little, and with the roller is sent to one link after another, it becomes a steel plate, steel strip and steel pipe.

This set of electric arc furnace continuous casting production line has a high degree of automation, and a large number of automatic controls are used in each link, which greatly saves the number of workers and physical strength.

This is not only to improve efficiency and quality, but also to have a last resort.

Even if the estimated 200,000 workers in the 1,000 factories in the military sub-district were evenly distributed, the number of workers in each factory would be only 200. In fact, for metallurgy, casting, large-scale machining and other enterprises, which one does not need tens of thousands of people?

According to the standards of domestic enterprises, 200,000 people are at best the level of a super-large state-owned enterprise.

To rely on this manpower, it is tantamount to a fantasy to realize various categories and industries such as machinery, electronics, chemical industry, metallurgy, and power to ensure the core precision manufacturing capabilities.

If you want to reduce the number of people, the large-scale adoption of automated control is the only option!

Reality forces them to increase the level of automation in the manufacturing industry as much as possible to save manpower. Moreover, the degree of automation is the highest, and many production links still require a large number of workers.

Just like this second alloy steel mill, the total number of workers in the field is still as high as more than 1,500 people!

When the first seamless steel pipe rolled off the assembly line smoothly, Guan Fei, Zhang Shengguo, Sun Yaohua and others, who watched the entire operation process, hugged together and couldn't help cheering.

On today's festive day, even Zhang Shengguo, who has always dressed up in a tunic suit, also put on a military uniform.

Moreover, this military uniform is no longer a model without a cockade and collar badge, but is inlaid with a bright red five-pointed star. A flamboyant sickle and hammer mark on his shoulder proves that he is a general!

Inside and outside the workshop, countless technicians, workers, and cadres all let out cheers that shook the sky.

In the loudspeaker of the factory, the majestic song of "We Workers Have Power" has sounded. The correspondent of the factory department has already held the carefully written manuscript and recited it with emotion in the broadcast room.

Inside and outside the factory, with the laughter of thousands of cadres and workers, there were bursts of sound from time to time.

Crackle!

I don't know who brought a large string of firecrackers and lit them, pushing this festive atmosphere to a higher peak again.

Although the formed steel castings and seamless steel pipes were still scorching hot, and everyone could only watch from afar, everyone was smiling and excited.

Sun Yaohua hugged Guan Fei tightly, slapped him on the back violently, didn't care about others hearing in the noise, and shouted loudly in Guan Fei's ear: "Lao Guan, we have succeeded, and the few conditions you asked for have been met." Next, isn't it time to start planning? ”

Guan Fei, who was inlaid with a red five-pointed star on the cockade, and the scythe and hammer logo of the collar badge and epaulette, was also inexplicably excited, and responded loudly: "It's coming!" Come on, don't worry, such an important event is indispensable to your grandson monkey! Just a few more things to schedule, and we'll take the first step in expansion! Our business is not only in these 500 square kilometers, but must be in a larger space! Our career has just begun! ”
