Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

...

Chapter 234 Are all the people who play with their phones going into car manufacturing?

(Chapter 232 is still in the dark room, and it's unknown when it will be released. Anyway, if you haven't read it yet, go back and check it out. I've already cut 500 words out of it. So please bear with it when it's released!)

Despite her father's surprise, Su's mother continued her tirade: "Leaving aside domestic sales, let's talk about overseas. The first electronics factory partnered with Alcatel from the United States; they directly spent tens of millions of US dollars to purchase Xing Baohua's technology."

Tell me, we used to spend huge sums of money to buy other people's technology. When did they start spending huge sums of money to buy ours? What does that mean? It means our technology is already ahead of its time.

"You're also from a technical background? How much do you earn? How much money have you spent on me? Look at how much other people spend on your daughter!"

As he spoke, he placed the electronic products that Su Ya had taken out on the table. This one costs 20,000, this one costs 10,000, this one costs 1,000, and this one costs several hundred.

The few items on the table alone are almost equivalent to Su's father's lifetime salary.

Previously, my salary was less than 100 yuan, and it's only in the last two years that it has increased to a little over 100 yuan.

A lifetime of work is not as valuable as a few gadgets on your desk.

The future son-in-law was indeed powerful, but the worries in my heart did not disappear, and I became even more anxious.

Su's mother continued nagging: "We ask you to come back every year, but you say there's no place for you to develop in Ludong. Go ask Xiao Xing if there's a suitable job for you."

"Dad, I'll ask him later. He built the largest laboratory in eastern Shandong. It's probably almost finished. He's also collaborating with many research institutions," Su Ya encouraged him from the side.

If we can keep Dad alive, this family will be complete.

"No need to call him deliberately. I'll stay a few days after the New Year and go to his workplace to check on him," Su's father said, waving his hand.

"No need to make a call, just send a few words." He picked up a pager on the table and sent a message to Xing Baohua.

Su's father pointed and said, "That's it."

“Yes! It’s a pity that it can only be sent within a certain area, not across cities or provinces. Otherwise, I would have made one for you too; it’s much faster than writing a letter,” Su Ya said.

The moment she finished speaking, her pager beeped—a reply to a message. Su Ya laughed and said, "See? Quick, right? He asked what organization you work for and what research you do?"

"Tell him that his workplace is inconvenient, so just say Jiuquan, where he works in dynamics."

Su Ya sent the message exactly as it was written, but little did she know that Xing Baohua's heart skipped a beat when he saw those words.

This father-in-law is something else! Is he in the engine business? Cars? Motorcycles? No, wait, alcohol…

Holy crap.

This isn't about building an imagined engine; this is about developing a propulsion system.

How can we set up a research platform for him?

Go back to where you came from!

Xing Baohua felt that her small arms and legs couldn't withstand any more strain.

How can I reply to Suya?

After thinking for a moment, I wrote: "I can't help my uncle with his current research direction, but if he wants to switch, I can help him with two options. First, our factory's technical college lacks teaching staff; could you help me mentor some students?"

Furthermore, if you wish to continue researching power systems, I will provide an electric power research lab in the future. Currently, I have a complete electromechanical R&D lab here, which can be integrated together.

Su Ya showed Xing Baohua's words to her father.

"Let's just forget it, don't make things too difficult for him," Su's father said with a wry smile. It seemed his future son-in-law already knew what he did for a living.

Giving him a job in electromechanical research is probably the only option available.

Su's mother came over to check the text message and said, "Isn't electrodynamics a type of dynamics? They're both about power, aren't they studied differently?"

“These are two academic fields, and they are different,” Su’s father said, waving his hand.

“You’re just a deputy worker. Can’t your company function without you? I think you don’t want to come back at all, and you don’t want this family at all.”

"That's not what I meant. I meant..."

"Is that what you mean? Xiao Xing has offered you two job opportunities. You can't be a teacher? Electric power, isn't that within the scope of power?"

If it were anyone else, Su's father could have argued back, but the woman opposite him didn't dare to argue or explain at all.

This one is something else entirely. You say one thing, and she has ten more to say, and she's the unreasonable kind.

Finally, having no other option, they asked Su Ya to inquire with Xing Baohua about which direction electromechanical research should take.

Xing Baohua scratched his head, thinking, "I can't exactly say it's the motor in a tape recorder! Although it's called a power source, it's not the same thing!"

Generally speaking, power comes from large equipment, and even the smallest one has to be a car.

Just like the word "propeller," it usually refers to rockets or giant ships.

If a small boat uses a propeller, apart from speedboats, the only other options are oars.

After scratching his head, he sighed and said, "Everyone who plays with mobile phones and TVs is going into car manufacturing, even people in real estate are switching to car manufacturing. Should I plan ahead and get into cars?"

He typed a few words on the keyboard: "Automotive motors! Synchronous machines, progress machines, asynchronous machines, etc. If you're willing to research them, funding will be plentiful."

After seeing the message, Su's father laughed and said, "This kid's got a big mouth. He says there's plenty of funding. Does he even know how much time and money it takes to develop a product? What if the investment is hundreds of millions? That would be..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su's mother continued, "He has the ability; he knows that the benefits he gave to the workers this year almost embarrassed Ji W."

Have you ever seen a company order eleven or twelve tons of ribbonfish? That's equivalent to a month's worth of planned shipments in central Shandong.

The seafood company hadn't made any prior preparations and could only temporarily borrow supplies from coastal cities to gather enough for Xing Baohua.

Because of her work, Su's mother knew quite a bit about Xing Baohua, so she told Su's father about his family's rise to wealth over the past year.
