Reborn in 1984: Starting with the Development of Chinese Character Cards, Chapter 117: The leaders' attention to Wujiang Group has increased again. They are discussing including Wujiang Group in the list of key high-tech enterprises supported by the state, and at the same time, they have selected Zhao Ye as one of China's top ten outstanding youths.
"Although Wujiang Group is a private enterprise, it is qualified to be listed as a key high-tech enterprise supported by the state!"
"I second that! Wujiang Group's investment and achievements in the field of high-tech industries are evident to all, and it should be included in the list of key high-tech enterprises supported by the state!"
I second that!
I second that!
"Furthermore, ten major domestic news organizations jointly organized the 'Top Ten Outstanding Young People of China' event to promote outstanding young people and establish role models for the times. I believe that Zhao Ye should be selected as one of the Top Ten Outstanding Young People of China; no one in the entire country is more suitable than Zhao Ye!"
"Yes, if Zhao Ye is not selected as one of China's Top Ten Outstanding Youths, this list would be unfair and hard to believe!"
"Given Zhao Ye's achievements to date, his selection as one of China's Top Ten Outstanding Young People is absolutely well-deserved!"
"..."
At this time, the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Many academicians and researchers are voting on whether Zhao Ye can win the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.
"Zhao Ye invented the Chinese character card, the Chinese typewriter, and the digital pager. He won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, and I have no objection to that. If anyone else wants to win this award, please compare your research results with Zhao Ye's!"
"The significance of Chinese character cards, Chinese typewriters, and digital pagers to the country is clear to everyone. Zhao Ye's award is well-deserved!"
Amidst the chorus of agreement, Liu Chuanzhi spoke up, "I think Zhao Ye is too young; it's inappropriate for him to receive the award. Young people are prone to arrogance, and winning such a prestigious award could actually hinder his future development. Many older generation researchers have worked diligently and selflessly; they are the ones who truly deserve the National Science and Technology Progress Award (First Prize). Therefore, considering everything, we should leave the award to someone else. As for Zhao Ye, he is still very young and will have plenty of opportunities to win awards in the future!"
Many people nodded in agreement when Liu Chuanzhi said this.
However, there are also many people who oppose it.
"I disagree with what Lao Liu said! Should someone's eligibility for an award be based on seniority or age? Why does our country even award this prize? Isn't it to encourage researchers to innovate and achieve results that advance the nation's science and technology? If it were just about seniority and age, then no one would need to focus on research; everyone could just wait out seniority and age. The selection of the 'National Science and Technology Progress Award First Prize' would simply be based on who has the most seniority and is the oldest!!!"
These words left Liu Chuanzhi speechless.
Therefore, Zhao Ye was ultimately selected and awarded the "First Prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award"!
...
For Zhao Ye, good things kept happening, and joy came from nowhere.
Wujiang Group has been included in the list of key high-tech enterprises supported by the state.
He was selected as one of China's Outstanding Young People of the Decade.
Finally, news broke that he had won the "First Prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award"!
Zhao Ye was overjoyed at this moment. These honors were very important, as they could significantly enhance his status and influence!
At this point, Zhao Ye had only received a notification; the specific award ceremony would be announced later.
However, ordinary people probably wouldn't pay attention to these things.
Most people and the media were more shocked by how much money Wujiang Group had made!
...
"This is insane! Are Wujiang Group's game consoles really that popular? Should our company develop a game console?"
"I never imagined games could be so profitable. I hope our company can get a share of the profits. Wujiang Group is taking all the meat, so why can't we even have some leftovers!"
"The domestic game market is a complete blank! Wujiang Group is currently busy expanding into the international market, isn't this giving us an opportunity? Haha, this is a huge business opportunity!!!"
For a time, many domestic companies were eager to get involved in the home video game console industry.
Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory, a subsidiary of Yihua Group in ZS City, Guangdong Province.
Unable to contain his excitement, Duan Yongping suggested to the factory's Party Secretary, Qu Hongyi, "Secretary Qu, have you read the recent newspapers? The game consoles developed by Wujiang Group are selling like hotcakes in Europe and America, with hundreds of customers queuing up! During the Christmas shopping season alone, Wujiang Group may generate billions of dollars in revenue!"
Qu Hongyi nodded and said, "I read the newspaper; it's truly enviable."
“Secretary Qu, our electronics factory could actually enter the gaming industry!” Duan Yongping said.
"Our electronics factory is facing severe operational difficulties and is on the verge of collapse. How could we possibly have the capacity to develop games..." Qu Hongyi said self-deprecatingly.
Duan Yongping said, "Secretary Qu, it's precisely because our factory is facing operational difficulties that we need to transform and give it our all! Our country doesn't pay enough attention to the knowledge industry, and piracy is rampant. I've done some research, and we can copy Nintendo's Famicom, and then copy Nintendo and Wujiang Group's games!"
Qu Hongyi was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Can a technician make it?"
Duan Yongping said with great confidence, "Reverse engineering greatly reduces the difficulty, and our factory's technicians can definitely do it!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Hongyi immediately became excited.
Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory wasn't doing very well, but if they could make pirated game consoles, they would make a fortune!
"That's great, Director Duan! As the factory's Party Secretary, I will definitely give you my full support in making a knock-off of the game console!"
"Thank you for your support, Secretary Qu. I have some ideas about product development and promotion that I would like to discuss with you in detail."
