Zhou Jianhua was already late when he came home in the evening. After washing up and going to bed, I was still thinking about the product plan for foreign exchange earning.

In fact, Zhou Jianhua does not have many options.

With his existing resources, if he wants to do exports, Zhou Jianhua can only consider making electronic products.

The export of minerals, agricultural and sideline products, and handicraft products cannot be compared with their own eight poles, and they can only export industrial products.

Among the industrial products, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, the whole country is extremely backward in this aspect, and it is basically impossible to do it in the world, not to mention that I know little about this piece and don't think about it.

Then only mechanical or electronic products remain. Although technically speaking, Zhou Jianhua has no problem in designing this kind of products, but it is not easy to manufacture mechanical products and mechanical and electrical products, which involves many problems of raw material sources, production and processing equipment funds, etc., to solve these problems, not Zhou Jianhua can solve them with a small "self-employed", don't forget, now the planned economic system is still dominating the country.

As a result, only pure electronic products are left to move their minds.

It is not easy to export electronic products.

Compared with the developed countries in the world, China's electronics industry is also relatively backward as a whole. This backwardness is not only the backwardness of electronics-related basic industries such as the research, design and production of basic components, but also a very important backward factor, which must be considered when exporting electronic products, that is, the supporting problems of the electronics industry.

It is impossible for Zhou Jianhua to design and produce some high-precision electronic products for export now, first, the components required for such products cannot be provided in China, and the developed countries in the West have also been a technological blockade on China. Even in recent years, the West's technological blockade of China has been relatively relaxed, and it is willing to sell a little good thing to China. The price is ridiculously high, and the products produced by buying their high-priced raw materials cannot be competitive internationally.

Now it is possible to import electronic components from abroad at a reasonable price. Basically, they are low-end components in the civilian level, although the performance parameters of these components are worse than those of Western military electronic components, but in China, these components are also treasures, in the absence of a better choice, including the military's scientific research institutes, the required electronic components can only find ways to import these civilian-grade components for the needs of national defense construction, of course, if the national defense sector can buy components with higher performance indicators. This money is also willing to spend.

But Zhou Jianhua can't, Zhou Jianhua imports these components not for consumption, but for export, we must consider a cost problem, the cost is high, the product is not competitive.

Zhou Jianhua can only choose to import some suitable low-end electronic components, and such components can only be used to produce civilian products with low performance requirements for export.

Due to the limitations of the electronics industry, Zhou Jianhua cannot have a wealth of various components to choose from in China. The functionality, portability, and reliability of the electronic products produced make it impossible for them to enter the middle and high-end civilian markets of developed countries, and can only be sold to the markets of third world countries such as Asia, Africa and Latin America, as Zhang Qianren, a senior engineer of the "Jiangdian Trade" Company, said.

Most of the third world countries are similar to China, and their citizens have limited spending power. The vast majority of electronic products that can be consumed must be functional and low-cost daily necessities, without more personalized requirements. Just look at the current situation in the country in front of you, and you can imagine it. What can electronic products be as the "necessities" of life? It's nothing more than a clock and a radio, and a clock lets people know that they're still alive. Is there a more important electronic "necessity" than the radio, which allows people to understand external information and know how to live?

Zhou Jianhua knows. Although everyone in China is still using mechanical clocks, but in foreign countries, the first generation of "balance spring electronic watches" and the second generation of "tuning fork electronic watches" began to appear decades ago, and the third generation of "quartz electronic watches" also began to be produced more than ten years ago.

With the country's reform and opening up, electronic watches with low price, accurate time, diverse functions and novel styles are about to be smuggled into China in large quantities through Shenzhen and other coastal special zones, and the country is about to set off a wave of electronic watch fever.

At this time, if Zhou Jianhua wants to produce electronic clocks and watches, due to industrial supporting reasons, he can only match the relevant integrated circuits, quartz resonators, stepper motors and even supporting capacitors from abroad, and he can only make plastic shells, which is no different from doing assembly.

Zhou Jianhua said in his heart, okay! Now I can only call the thought of the radio.

Civil radio requirements for components are not high, there are many manufacturers in China, because the price is not too expensive, the general semiconductor radio can be bought as long as about 20 yuan, which is equivalent to the monthly income of an ordinary worker, so it has a high penetration rate in many urban households in China.

However, this kind of domestic radio is basically assembled from discrete components, with average performance, and the size is larger than a brick, and the power consumption is also large, so there is no advantage when used for export. Relatively speaking, integrated circuits have been used in foreign-produced radios, and the volume can be very small and the power consumption is low.

However, there is a difference between radio and electronic watch, that is, the circuit is more complex, and the radio at this time can not be like the electronic watch, and the integrated circuit alone can basically solve the needs of the circuit, and the proportion of various separated components is still relatively large. Moreover, in the production process, there are many components that need to be adjusted one by one, which is a little more complicated in terms of production technology.

Zhou Jianhua considered that if he wanted to export the radio, he could design a radio that used a small number of imported models of integrated blocks and assembled with domestic components, so that although the price of the radio was slightly higher, it was greatly improved in terms of performance, volume and power consumption. On this basis, coupled with a brightly colored plastic fuselage shell, a change from the bulky and rigid image of the domestic large, single-color rigid metal shell radio, such a product should be recognized by the people of the third world countries for export.

Although in foreign countries, radios similar to Zhou Jianhua's positioning must already exist, but due to the low cost of domestic components and labor, Zhou Jianhua's radio can be sold at a relatively low price, and it should still be able to be competitive when exported to third world countries. Moreover, the purpose of Zhou Jianhua's export products is to obtain foreign exchange, as long as he can exchange foreign exchange back, even if he does not make money, he can sell it.

Zhou Jianhua suddenly thought that in his previous life, many people complained, why are the products we produce abroad cheaper than those sold in China? As everyone knows, foreign competition is so fierce, many underdeveloped countries export products for the purpose of earning foreign exchange, people do not seek to make money, only to have foreign exchange income, in the international market of such low-end products, you either give up the market, or you can only compete at a low price.

And the same product in China, people do not expect to earn foreign exchange, of course, they have to make money, and the price cannot be low. If you can't make money abroad, you won't make money at home, who will do this kind of loss-making business?

Zhou Jianhua is like this now, as a last resort, for the sake of foreign exchange, he can only consider making this foreign exchange earning product that does not generate income, of course, this product will definitely not be sold too cheaply in China.

However, relying on the export of radios in exchange for foreign exchange is only an expedient measure for Zhou Jianhua. He has already considered a mechanical and electrical product, which is expected to be fully launched to the international and domestic markets within half a year. Of course, it is a technology product that can not only earn foreign exchange, but also generate income. (To be continued......)
