In all fairness, Lu Xudong is already a leader with a very forward-looking vision and the ability to quickly adapt and understand new things.

But he would never have thought that the personal electronic computer that Zhong Bai said would have such a huge role!

"Yes. This equipment is a new generation of products that MD's IBM company began to plan and study five years ago, and the role of electronic computers in various industries, especially industry, is incomparable and epoch-making. Zhong Bai mentioned this and began to talk eloquently: "My words may sound a little exaggerated, but it doesn't matter - time will tell, the comprehensive electronic and digital industry is an irreversible trend, and when Mars just appeared, we must seize the opportunity, and the early birds will have worms." Especially when it comes to special fertilizers, the role of personal computers is irreplaceable, so I found the "Oriental Times" newspaper and found President Li Nanxin, fortunately, she has been going back and forth to MD for a long time to know that what I said is true, so I gladly agreed to sponsor it. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Lu Xudong's expression moved.

Of course, Sun Guangshi had been impressed by Zhong Bai's eloquence before, but for Lu Xudong, this was the first time he had heard Zhong Bai discuss something new with a theoretical narrative, and he couldn't help but have an urge to listen.

"It's not an exaggeration, it's a conservative." Zhong Bai naturally will not miss this good opportunity to instill new ideas about industrial prospects in Lu Xudong: "Our country built *** when there was no computer, and if it had it, the time for success would be at least half in advance!" And the same is true for special fertilizers, after having this personal electronic computer, I at least dare to say that the confidentiality of the outside world is several grades stronger than before! Not to mention the benefits of standardizing the production of special fertilizers after stylization, don't forget that this is our Tianhe Province's foreign military-local cooperation project, which is for the People's Liberation Army, and it is not allowed to leak above all else! ”

Lu Xudong was obviously aroused by Zhong Bai's words: "Hey, then you can talk about it, how to achieve it?" Is it just a small machine? ”

Zhong Bai took out a copy of the famous MD magazine "TIMES" that he bought outside yesterday, which had an interview report about the world's first personal computer.

According to the report, on August 12, 1981, the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), headquartered in Amunk, New York, MD, launched a new 5150 computer, and the new market of "personal computers" was born. IBM5150 looks like a beige "big box" with only 16K bytes of memory, can be downloaded and stored using cassette tapes, and can also be equipped with a 5.25-inch software disk drive. I with a clock speed of 4.77MHz is used

tel 8088 CPU, RAM 64KB, 160KB floppy drive, operating system is Mic

MS-DOS provided by osoft, which is an important day in the history of human science and technology.

Although Lu Xudong's Russian and English proficiency can not be compared with Zhong Bai, as a deputy director, his English reading ability is not bad at all, and he started reading immediately after taking over, except for some professional terms that he doesn't understand very well, he also needs to let Zhong Bai translate on the spot, and after half an hour, Lu Xudong's expression began to slowly become serious.

"It's like a large computer, can you write and run all kinds of programs? Xiao Zhong, isn't this a bit too exaggerated? The configuration and scale of a large computer is far more powerful than this! After holding back for a long time, Lu Xudong finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

Zhong Bai did not shy away from his ability: "That's right, theoretically speaking. Although this personal computer cannot run large programs, I am completely confident that I can write and produce a corresponding program for a single product of special fertilizers. It can also be said that for the production of special fertilizers, there is no need to use a large electronic computer, a small personal PC is enough. ”

"Do you still write applications?" Lu Xudong was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall.

"Well, when I was interning in the capital, I was fortunate enough to come into contact with one or two, which is not difficult." Zhong Bai probably knew that Lu Xudong would immediately ask questions like "why do you know", so he blocked the other party's mouth in advance.

Lu Xudong gasped, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Lu Xudong thought about it carefully, it was not that he couldn't see that Zhong Bai's recent series of actions looked chaotic, and a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west were blooming everywhere, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little chill in his back.

It turns out that this kid has been planning for a long time!

From going to Nanyun in a hurry on the same day, to returning to Shanping County Fertilizer Plant non-stop to install facilities to ensure the production of urea, and then to going to Tiandu for the first time under his own leadership to register a 3702 patent at the Swiss Patent Office, and finally found that when he came to Switzerland, this kid still eats two fish and two fish, in addition to the patent itself, and by the way, he has to ask someone to get him a personal computer from a foreign country to come back?

Hell, if it weren't for Lu Xudong who had read Zhong Bai's resume more than ten times half a month ago, and had in-depth contact with him in these days, confirming that this was just a young man in his early twenties, he would even think that this was an industrial expert in a certain GWY!

However, Zhong Bai is really, but that was from the previous life.

"That'...... Then why can't you wait for the state to approve its import, and then apply to the department for a report? It can be done! Lu Xudong picked up the report again and looked at it, repeated the content on it and read: "Also, isn't it written that its external price is $1,565?" How did it come to your mouth to be a sky-high price of $10,000? ”

Zhong Bai smiled slightly and explained: "Judging from the current situation in my country, it will take half a year to introduce personal computers at the earliest, which I can't wait, because the intention contract signed by our Provincial Chemical Research Institute and the 35th Division is that the special fertilizer must be implemented within two months." So, I can't wait. As for the price, did Director Lu forget one thing? For such high-tech products, the tariffs on MD exports and imports from our country are definitely not small numbers. ”

"So you came up with the idea of asking someone to bring it to you abroad?" Lu Xudong reacted instantly.

Zhong Bai nodded and said: "Yes, it's just one, it's not a large-scale import, and the buyer is from the Swiss side, and the relationship between Switzerland and MD has always been good, so this shouldn't be a problem." As for $10,000, that's taking into account all the costs of this device from the time it was purchased by MD, which should be the limit. ”

That's right, even if President Li Nanxin from Switzerland personally went to MD New York to buy, round-trip air tickets, customs declarations, and transoceanic transportation until they finally arrived in his hands, even if this number is a bit large, it will not exceed too much.

"Okay, I've figured it out." Lu Xudong commented with a little taste: "You kid, this whole thing is dumplings poured in a teapot - there are goods that have been stuffy!" That's when you came to explain to me...... This won't work in the future! ”

"That's for sure, Director Lu." Zhong Bai smiled slightly: "Isn't this an expedient measure with tight time!" ”
