Chapter 10: Chance Encounters

"Li Jian, thank you."

"It's delicious, Li Jian, this dish is much more than the vegetable oil and water in our canteen, I don't think I need to eat it at night."

"You only called Lin Xiaodan alone last time you invited you to dinner, why did you kindly call us all this time?"

After the physical education class was over, it was time to eat at noon, and the students of the first class of the third year of high school left early, ran to the random restaurant at the school gate, and wrapped up the entire restaurant.

Why did you come here, because this is opened by Zhao Tianming, a classmate in the first class of high school, isn't this to take care of business?

Of course, not all of the first class of the third year of high school came, at least Dong Jian and his two followers, Zhao Bing and Tian Bo, Dong Jian really couldn't pull his face to eat Li Jian's meal, especially Li Jian also solemnly stated that this money was a reward from Dong's father.

He didn't go, the other classmates didn't care, this was an era when everything needed to be bought with a ticket, and being able to come out for a meal was a matter of tooth sacrifice, and it was too late for them to be grateful.

Seeing the happiness of the classmates, Li Jian's heart plucked, this is our lovely country, our lovely classmates, we can eat a meal and be happy like this, our poverty, our weakness, do we still need to continue to the next century like the previous life? No, I want to change, I want the world to know that the Chinese will no longer be poor and backward.

In the school office, next to the only turntable telephone, Li Jian held this rough black telephone, which was typically stupid and ugly.

"Hey, Dad, how's it going? How much money do you have left? ”

Li Jian cares about this, money, that is, his start-up capital, the primitive accumulation of capital, is not so easy.

"Son, that, I've been a little busy lately, can you, can you adjust the machine again?"

Li Hongjun didn't answer Li Jian's question, but there were people standing next to him, and the question of money was still exchanged at home in private.

Li Jian immediately laughed, it seems that his father still misunderstood, thinking that his son is omnipotent, but in fact he is not at all.

"Dad, I can't adjust it, at least I can't adjust it now, you know, this thing is the same as academic performance, it was the penultimate at the beginning, and there were zero eggs in every door, as long as you study a little bit, you can get three or five points, which is quite a big improvement compared to zero eggs, but if you are the first in the grade, you want to improve three or five points, is it easy?"

Li Hongjun listened to Li Jian's words, turned back to the people behind him and said,

"Lao Huang, look, my son said, this thing is not easy to get, this is the sow in the family with piglets, how easy it is to make it pregnant when there is no time, but you have three births to six births, it will not work at all."

Li Jian knew that his father was discussing with his assistant Uncle Huang in the factory, and the current production capacity of the factory had been maximized, and there was no way to increase it at all, unless he bought a new machine and used a new process, but these conditions were not yet available.

"Dad, listen to me, do you have 50,000 yuan on hand now?"

Li Jian was touched by his classmates at noon, and felt more and more that time was pressing, and one day later, our country would be deprived of one more day by the great powers.

Think about what the country is exchanging for foreign exchange? Coal, oil, rare earths, minerals, what these are, are the wealth of future generations, they are all consumable resources, and the non-renewable resources of these powers in their own countries will not be exported at all, or even mined, what they want is to deprive the countries of the third world.

And what our country needs, but it can't be imported at all, and those dollars that have been exchanged for so hard can only be exchanged for equipment and technology that they have eliminated for more than 20 Chinese New Year's Eve years.

In other words, what level of technology we have mastered in our country, what technology will they open up, this organization, it seems to be called the Paris Coordinating Committee, of course, people are not only aimed at our country.

"Hopefully it's still too late."

Li Jian thought silently in his heart, leading the world for decades, overtaking in corners, let's come earlier.

"More than that, but what are you going to do, I'm also going to save up money to buy a second-hand truck, which is too wasteful of labor to be transported on three wheels all day long."

Li Hongjun smiled, but still didn't reveal how much money he had.

"Dad, you come to our school, bring all the money and toiletries, and get ready to go out."

Li Jian hung up the phone, the phone bill at this time was too expensive, and after a while, a few yuan was gone.

When Li Hongjun came, it was already night, carrying a small military canvas bag, which was bulging, and he didn't know how many things there were, but the doubts on his face showed that although he didn't know what Li Jian was going to do, he still listened to Li Jian's words.

"Dad, let's go, I'll take you to see something."

Li Jian pulled Li Hongjun out of school.

When Li Hongjun stood at the door of the post and telecommunications office, he shook his head,

"Isn't it just a telephone, we also have one in the factory, and it's not like I haven't seen it."

"Dad, you see, this telephone is made by us, a company in Huizhou, there are so many people queuing up to install telephones now, think about it, if we can also make telephones, the profit is not smaller than papermaking."

Li Jian's words were not finished, presumably Li Hongjun could also think that with the technology of the paper mill, the paper produced could be sold in a small county, but in the big city, the gap in quality can be seen, and people will not buy things from a small factory like theirs.

"We don't have the ability to produce this thing."

It's not that Li Hongjun can't see the prospect of the telephone, the problem is that for him, this thing is a high-tech, and where can he think of it, he also has the ability to produce high-tech.

"No, this thing is very simple, not much more complicated than the tape recorder, by the way, the tape recorder factory in our county should be yellow, right?"

Li Jian looked at the telephone and was stunned, this kind of stupid and black telephone must only be sold in this era, as long as he improves it slightly......

"The cassette recorder is a broken factory, there are more than 30 people in total, the cassette recorder made is like a basin, and it is still ringing all day long, who still buys that thing, they are saving money to buy a TV, the small color TV looks too enjoyable, what Shaolin Temple, how good the performance is."

Li Hongjun also wants to buy a TV, but he didn't have money before, and now he doesn't have time, if it weren't for Li Jian calling him out today, he would still be in the factory, and he has been too short of manpower recently, so he wants to recruit a few more people from the village.

"Dad, now private contractors are allowed to contract this kind of small state-owned factory, you can contract the tape recorder factory, and we will produce telephones."

Li Jian was composing the perfect blueprint in his mind, but he didn't see dozens of people walking out of the main entrance of the post and telecommunications bureau, and a middle-aged man with a gloomy face slowly stopped at the back of the line and walked into the business hall of the post and telecommunications bureau.

At this time, the post and telecommunications bureau did not have any sense of service at all, they were the old men of the officials, and the masses who came did not even pay attention to them, jokes, and telephone queues have been lined up until next year, and the people who have leaders alone can't cope with it, who cares about these ordinary people.

"We don't have this technology, the plastic shell of the telephone, and the dial-up thing, we don't know, and there is no place to buy it, so let's buy another set of paper-making equipment, in fact, we should buy a car."

Li Hongjun whispered, he was afraid that his rich things would be heard, and wealth is not revealed is a wise saying from ancient times to the present.

Li Jian didn't quite understand the concept of buying a car in this era, and he didn't continue, but sighed heavily,

"We can't build but also have to find a way to build, not only to build a telephone, even the program-controlled switch we also have to find a way to build, why don't I drop out, is to be admitted to Huaqing University, or Huazhong University of Science and Technology, not to learn anything, but to have a channel of communication with these college students, I want to find a group of people, together with China's own switchboard, to save the future when foreigners talk about the phone, laugh at our incompetence."

"Joke, you don't learn knowledge in college, in order to make friends, you don't study, what the hell can you make, and no one else is rare to take care of you."

A voice came from behind Li Jian, Li Jian was thinking about things, but he didn't pay attention to whether Li Hongjun was speaking, but replied mechanically,

"I don't need to learn these courses in college at all, if I want to say that I go to college, I can give lectures to those graduate students, but what is the use of a person, our country has been weak for too long, and we must have a large number of talents to revitalize, let's just say that this switch, we can't build it, but we can't produce the integrated circuits used in it, and we don't have our own wafer production line."

Li Jian didn't know what the difference between this world and his own world was, and he didn't say anything to death.

"It's been there for a long time, but it's just a four-inch wafer, a five-inch one, and a six-inch one is still being introduced."

The voice replied, Li Hongjun had already turned his head, he was talking to his son, but he didn't want anyone to intervene, but when he saw this person wearing a cadre uniform, wearing glasses, and his upright body seemed to be a leader, he didn't dare to squeak.

Li Jian also knew at this time that it was wrong, he just said it casually by himself just now, and he didn't expect Li Hongjun to answer at all, Li Hongjun might not even know what a wafer is.

"Oh, you are?"

Li Jian turned around and saw this person, who seemed to be a little familiar, but knew that he didn't know him at all, this person was a leader.

But I don't know a leader, if I do, is it not so difficult to do this, but now that I have the opportunity, then we must seize it.

"Don't ask me who I am, I'll ask you, you said that you can make this kind of telephone with a tape recorder factory, is it true or false? If so, why haven't other tape recorder manufacturers thought of it? ”

The cadres looked at the left and right and saw that there was no one else, after all, the post and telecommunications bureau was about to get off work, and no one came at this time, and there were only the Li family father and son in the entire hall.
