After Mi Guangnan and Wan Shouwu pondered for a moment, Wan Shouwu prescribed a prescription.

"Why don't you find someone from Shanghai to contract these factories? For example, Shanghai Component Factory No. 5 is a leading enterprise in China's semiconductor industry. However, due to the lack of government funding, the company has been losing money since last year and is expected to go bankrupt in a few years. You can find an agent to contract it, and then use it as a bridge to attract talent from other semiconductor companies in Shanghai that are on the verge of bankruptcy. Wouldn't that achieve your goal of attracting talent?"

Wan Feng had also considered this method, but he always felt it was not very reliable.

"I've never even been to Shanghai in my life. Where can I find someone from Shanghai? I can't just pick anyone off the streets of Shanghai, right? Besides, Shanghai people are always arrogant without reason. Will they subcontract their business to outsiders?"

Shanghai people are famous for their pride.

This made Wan Feng very confused as to why they were so arrogant.

It is a city that has never produced heroes, and it is also a place where worshipping foreign things is very serious. How can there be any arrogance in such a place?

Mi Guangnan slapped his thigh and said, "Cheng Gong! He's from Shanghai, and he came from Component Factory No. 5. I spent a lot of effort recruiting him back then. It's completely fine for you to let him go back and take over the contract for this factory. He's very prestigious at Component Factory No. 5. Many of the products at the factory were originally developed by him. If he takes over the contract, not only will we have scientific researchers, but we will also have production capacity. The production capacity and strength of Component Factory No. 5 are very strong. Otherwise, it would not have become China's leading semiconductor company. As for the arrogance of Shanghai people, what's the point of being arrogant when you have nothing to eat?"

Wan Feng frowned, "Boss Mi! I've only been in contact with Cheng Gong for over half a month. How can I know if he has this ability?"

How could he entrust such a big thing to someone he didn't know?

"Cheng Gong has worked for me for three years, and I know him very well. Although he has that kind of nonsensical arrogance that Shanghainese have, once he sets his sights on someone, he'll work wholeheartedly for them. You can rest assured about that. Besides, you never know until you try something. Why don't you just let him go back and take a look?"

Well, how do you know if you don’t try?

"If you can really get the contract and the factory remains where it is, you can transfer all the scientific and technical personnel to Nan Da Wan. I've seen that their scientific research equipment and conditions are definitely inferior to yours. This way, you can conduct research in Nan Da Wan and produce in Shanghai. You will help the Shanghai government solve the employment problem of nearly 2,000 people. I don't think the Shanghai government will stop you."

"I think the Shanghai government will not only not stop it, but on the contrary will be very happy to contract it out, because now our industry is a project that no one cares about. It is a burden and a nuisance to them. They can't even get rid of it in time, so why would they stop it? I'm afraid they will even send it off with drums and gongs!" What Wan Shouwu said makes sense.

It was undeniable at the time that enterprises that were not supported by the state were a burden.

Let's put this issue aside for now. Any plans will have to wait until Never Russell comes back.

The next step is to understand and plan your trip to Brussels.

This year's Brussels Electronics Fair can be said to be a grand event for the world's top electronics manufacturers at the time. It is said that many new technologies and new products will be exhibited at this expo.

"If we really see something we like in Bulusell, how do we solve the foreign exchange problem to buy it back?" Wan Feng asked.

Wanfeng can handle small foreign exchange expenses like flying, hotel accommodation and meals. At worst, you can spend more money to exchange them on the black market.

But he had no way to deal with foreign exchange in commodity trading.

The Chinese currency is not an international trading currency and cannot be traded at all. There are only a few currencies that can be traded in the world, such as the US dollar, the British pound, the mark, the Japanese yen, etc.

Wan Shouwu shook his head: "We are just going to take a look. Even if you find something you like, you can't buy it. Paris is still coordinating and they won't sell it to us."

The Paris Coordinating Committee was actually established by the 17 developed countries at that time to restrict socialist countries.

High-tech products and scarce resources will never be sold to socialist countries, and China is naturally among those prohibited.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, this agreement became a dead end in name only and was dissolved in 1994.

But two years later, the Wassenaar Arrangement was created with the same old formula, and this time the targets of the ban became a few countries, mainly China.

Even if you like something, you can't buy it back.

It is definitely not possible to buy advanced things, but some backward things can still be bought.

Just like the Z80 chips were not exported to China before, they are now appearing in the Chinese market.

"Uncle! Doesn't your Huazhong University of Science and Technology have any foreign exchange expenses?" Wan Feng asked Wan Shouwu.

"Although the Huazhong University of Science and Technology has some foreign exchange quotas, they are all used to attract major projects in the building. We can't help with this."

One sentence blocked the road.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later. You can’t let a living person die from holding his urine.

July 3rd was the day they set out for Brussels.

At that time, there were no direct flights from China to Lishui, so they had to transfer at Xianggang to reach Brussels.

There are direct flights from Xianggang to Brussels.

On the morning of the third day, the members of the visiting group were gathered. There were eighteen people in total, one-third of whom Wan Feng knew.

Almost all the people I know have been to Nan Da Wan.

Wan Feng shook hands with everyone he knew and everyone he didn't.

After learning that Wan Feng was the sponsor of their overseas trip, even those who didn't know him greeted him with a smile.

This is Wan Feng's second time traveling abroad on a flying plane this year.

The last time was to Moscow, Eastern Europe.

This time we are going to Brussels, Western Europe.

It can be said that I have traveled all over Europe in one year.

I first flew to Xianggang, then transferred there and flew for more than ten hours, arriving in Brussels on the afternoon of the 4th local time.

Brussels is the capital and largest city of Bilibili. It is also the seat of many major international administrative agencies and the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It is known as the capital of Europe.

The urban construction of Bulusel in 1989 was still incomparable to that of Chinese cities at that time, but in the eyes of Wan Feng, who had seen the prosperity of later generations, it was just so-so.

It will not be better than a sixth or seventh tier county-level city.

As for the sense of history that Europeans are keen on boasting about, it's even more ridiculous.

Not to mention Luxembourg, the whole of Europe is a place without historical heritage. More than a thousand years ago, the whole of Europe was in darkness, so where did it get any history?

As for the glorious history they tell, who knows how many of them are true.
