"Weidong, the production of computer learning machines has just been on the right track, what tubes are you going to start tossing again?" Shi Yueshuang asked on the phone.

Shi Yueshuang's deepest impression of Wang Weidong was tossing.

In that small radio factory, Wang Weidong tossed a small collective factory into a private factory, and then tossed it from the Xiangyang Chemical Factory to Harbin City, and finally sold it to the Xiangyang Chemical Factory.

Wang Weidong has been tossing and turning all these years.

"Yes, people don't toss young people." Wang Weidong said into the microphone.

"I feel that the production of electron tubes is not only good for myself, but also good for the country. So I want you to call me to lay the groundwork, and then I'll call your house again and make an appointment to meet your father and ask him about the production of tubes. Wang Weidong said.

The Fifth Machinery Department was originally in charge of the production of the state's weapons industry, and although its name has now been changed, its functions have not changed, and have even been strengthened.

Shi Yueshuang's father, Shi Ke, served as the vice minister of the ministry, and Wang Weidong felt that it was necessary to consult Shi Ke to understand the situation of the country's electron tube production. It's just that the threshold of Shi Yueshuang's house is too high, and it is very inappropriate to go directly.

There was a sentry at the gate of the residential complex, and he couldn't even get in.

Knowing that her father came home late every night, Shi Yueshuang called home at ten o'clock in the evening. On the phone, she told Wang Weidong about it.

"You tell him to call home tomorrow and I'll come back an hour early tomorrow night to have a good talk with him!" Shi Ke said.

After putting down the phone, Shi Ke said to his wife: "Wang Weidong, this kid is now going to import technology from a big northern country to produce electron tubes!" ”

"So many tube factories in our country have failed to operate well and have closed down, can he produce tubes now?" Leng Qing asked.

"In the past, our country could be said to be one of the best in terms of the number of electron tubes produced. However, in terms of technology, there is still a gap compared with advanced countries. At present, many of the electronic tubes used in radars and other military equipment are imported from abroad. Shi Ke replied.

What her husband said, Leng Qing, as an expert in the translation of foreign language materials in the military industry, certainly knows it.

Since the end of the eighties, the United States has become more and more strict in terms of equipment used by China in the military. But things like high-end tubes can also be imported from small books and Germany, and if some special originals and materials cannot be imported from these countries, they can also be entrusted to a third party in the world to quietly import and then resell to China.

Looking at the expression on her husband's face, she asked coldly, "So, are you planning to support Wang Weidong in doing this?" ”

"Of course, it's better to have it than to have it yourself! I always feel unsure when I buy other people's things, so it's better to produce them yourself. It is best to use Wang Weidong to introduce the advanced technology of the production of electron tubes in the big northern countries, and then let the state-owned factories in China that are preparing to switch to production carry out production. Shi Ke replied.

Shi Ke meant that Wang Weidong did not need to build another electron tube factory, he helped to introduce the advanced technology of electron tubes in the northern powers, and handed it over to the state.

Due to the rapid development of semiconductors, many people, including experts and scholars, feel that the electron tube is a technology that has been eliminated.

It is better to transform those military industrial enterprises into a system as soon as possible and completely put them into the market. Of course, in doing so, most of these factories will be bought by foreign capital and domestic private capital at a low price, and become private enterprises.

The advantage of this is that the problem of feeding thousands of state-owned workers can be solved very quickly.

Of course, in the process of restructuring, private capital is very ruthless. In order to change the phenomenon of superfluous personnel in state-owned enterprises, a large number of state-owned workers will be dismissed from their labor relations and then pushed to society.

Shi Ke felt that it was a good opportunity to introduce the advanced technology of the big northern countries now, so that one or two state-owned electron tube production plants could be retained.

Of course, Wang Weidong didn't know anything about Shi Ke's thoughts.

That night, he received a call from Shi Yueshuang, who told him to call home by the next night, saying that he would arrive at the gate of the residential area, and that his father Shi Ke would be waiting for him at the gate at that time.

During the day the next day, Wang Weidong called Shi Yueshuang's house and agreed with Shi Yueshuang's mother Leng Qing that at nine o'clock that night, Wang Weidong rushed to the door of the residential compound.

Then Leng Qing called again to tell her husband who was at work.

At seven o'clock in the evening, I returned home. Leng Qing, who knew her husband very well, immediately noticed that her husband's face was very bad.

"What's wrong, old stone?" Leng Qing asked.

Shi Kewei shook his head.

As a college student in the fifties, Shi Ke has been working in military enterprises, he has experienced the era of vigorous development of China's military enterprises, and now watching so many enterprises wither rapidly, Shi Ke feels very uncomfortable.

After receiving a call from his daughter last night, Shi Ke was very happy, and he felt that he could use the opportunity to introduce the tube technology of the big northern country to keep one or two tube factories.

But this morning, when he made this suggestion, it was opposed by many people.

It costs money to import technology, and it costs money to put it into production, buy equipment, and retrain workers.

In this way, it is not as cost-effective as the state to buy electron tubes directly from abroad.

At present, foreign countries are not tight about the tube cards that can be used in the military, and if you want to buy them, you can still buy them through various channels.

Capitalists, for the sake of money, they can even chop off their thighs and sell them to you!

This is the opinion of many experts, and Shi Ke feels powerless to refute it.

At 8:50 p.m., Leng Qing reminded her husband to pick up people at the gate of the residential compound.

Shi Ke went downstairs and walked to the gate of the compound, and when he was far away, he saw Wang Weidong standing there, looking inside.

The soldiers on both sides of the gate looked at Wang Weidong vigilantly.

Shi Kewei walked to the gate, explained the situation to the soldiers, and then beckoned Wang Weidong to come over and register in the mailroom, and then took Wang Weidong home.

Walking into the house, Shi Ke warmly beckoned Wang Weidong to sit down. took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Weidong and said: "The cigarette is not very good, you can deal with it, are you big bosses not used to these ordinary cigarettes?" ”

Wang Weidong took a lighter and lit the cigarette called Zhonghe Hai and said: "Hard and simple is my consistent style!" ”

"You kid just like to play poor!" Shi Ke said with a smile.

Then he suddenly turned his face and said, "I've already received a call from Yueshuang, and I think what you're doing is very meaningful!" That's right, people can't look at money completely, but still have to do something meaningful. You can do it boldly, and if there is any difficulty, I will support you! ”

In just one day, Shi Ke's thinking has taken a 180-degree turn, from the initial desire for state-owned enterprises to introduce technology to produce electron tubes to support Wang Weidong to set up a private enterprise to produce electron tubes.

Of course, for him, this transformation is also a kind of helplessness.
