Chu Peng smiled wryly and said, "That's true, but raising the employees' wages by such a large amount will result in huge costs!"

Zhao Ye laughed and said, "If you want a horse to run fast, you have to feed it more grass! Raising wages can stimulate employee enthusiasm, improve work efficiency and innovation. As long as we can produce advanced rockets, why should the company worry about not making money?"

After a pause, Zhao Ye added, "If the China Long March Rocket Company runs out of funds, Wujiang Group can make additional investments. President Chu, rest assured, Wujiang Group will spare no effort to support the development of the China Long March Rocket Company until the day it achieves commercial success!"

Chu Peng smiled helplessly.

In fact, he himself benefited, with his salary increasing a hundredfold to 50,000 RMB per month and 600,000 RMB per year, which was higher than the annual salary of Gabriel Wilcox, a top Soviet rocket expert, who only earned 500,000 RMB.

Currently, only Wujiang Group in China offers such high salaries.

However, it is precisely because Wujiang Group values ​​scientific researchers that it attracts outstanding talents from all over the world.

Zhao Ye knows that talent is a company's greatest asset.

Therefore, he has always insisted on providing the most generous treatment to scientific researchers.

Wujiang Group's ability to achieve technological breakthroughs in many fields is not only due to Zhao Ye's efforts, but also to the indispensable contributions of Wujiang's scientific researchers.

No matter how awesome Zhao Ye is, he's still just a person.

Even if a person is made of iron, they can't hammer many nails.

...

At present, there should be no problem with the development of rockets.

SpaceX focuses on research into communications satellites and aerospace engines.

Communication satellites are a weak point for China, and there is currently a significant gap compared to foreign counterparts. SpaceX must invest heavily to catch up.

Zhao Ye planned that once the satellite technology of the space technology company surpassed that of domestic satellites, he would once again propose cooperation to the country, uniting the nation's strength to counter foreign space competitors.

Zhao Ye also dreams of going to space and fulfilling his dream of space tourism in his lifetime.

If space technology matures, he even wants to launch services such as space chauffeured cars, space ridesharing, and space shuttles to the world.

...

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhao! You've actually reached a cooperation agreement with the government and established the China Long March Rocket Company!" Liao Xinghua, General Manager of Asia Satellite Company, called to congratulate you.

Zhao Ye smiled and said, "Thank you, President Liao. It is a great honor for Wujiang Group to be able to cooperate with the country. However, we must be more diligent and cautious in our work in the future. China Long March Rocket Company carries the hopes of China's aerospace industry and cannot afford to be negligent in the slightest."

Liao Xinghua laughed and said, "With the capabilities of Wujiang Group, I believe that my country's aerospace industry will soon take off! Oh, by the way, Asia Satellite Company will be cooperating with China's Long March Rocket Company from now on..."

"Wouldn't that be even better? Wujiang is a major shareholder of both China Long March Rocket Company and Asia Satellite Company. The cooperation between the two companies will surely be even closer!"

Zhao Ye chatted with Liao Xinghua for a while until his secretary needed to speak with him, at which point he said goodbye to Liao Xinghua.

The development of the space program has come to a temporary halt.

When the Soviet Union collapses in the future, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for China in the aerospace industry.

Zhao Ye was filled with anticipation for that day to arrive.

...

"Boss, there's bad news from Japan—Sega has launched the first 16-bit home video game console!!!" Liu Yinyin said worriedly.

In terms of game graphics and performance, a 16-bit game console can certainly outperform an 8-bit game console.

Despite its advanced features, the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" still struggles to compete with 16-bit home game consoles in terms of performance and graphics.

The gaming industry is Wujiang's most profitable cash cow, and Sega's release of a 16-bit game console will inevitably affect Wujiang's market share.

In 1988, Wujiang Games generated $35 billion in revenue, with profits exceeding $10 billion.

Zhao Ye took the information about Sega's 16-bit game console from Liu Yinyin.

After looking at it for a while, Zhao Ye calmly placed the documents on the table.

This 16-bit game console is the Sega MD from its previous life. In its previous life, the MD achieved great success worldwide, especially in the North American market (American version called Sega Genesis). In the early to mid-1990s, it was even able to compete with Nintendo's SFC, neither giving way to the other, which also led to the first "console war" in the game industry, with a total sales volume of 35.25 million units.

However...

That was mainly because Nintendo's 16-bit game console was released too late, giving Sega's MD an opportunity to take advantage.

In this life, Wujiang did not follow Nintendo's example and rest on his laurels with his 8-bit game console.

Wujiang Games began developing a 16-bit game console a long time ago, and the console is already developed. It has very powerful performance and a powerful integrated graphics card.

Currently, the game software development department is fully engaged in developing various games, mainly creating sequels to best-selling classic games, such as Pokémon II: Classic of Mountains and Seas, Dragon Quest II: Gods of Evil, The Legend of Zelda II: Link's Adventure, Final Fantasy II, Calabash Brothers II: Primordial Calabash Vine, and so on.

Of course, there are also many new games, such as Cinnamon & Dinosaur, Street Fighter, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King, Three Kingdoms Warriors, Divine Sword and Demon Slayer, Metal Slug, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Crash Bandicoot.
