Xing Baohua was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon with the help of Su Ya.
I went to the repair shop to pick up some things and saw Niu Jishan taking apart a radio. At first, I thought he was repairing it.
You should know that these broken appliances all belong to their owners; they left them here for repair.
They ended up seeing Niu Jishan disassembling some small IC chips. Remembering how Xing Baohua had previously taught him how to refine gold—at the time, this guy even wanted to use a TV to refine it—Xing Baohua stopped him.
Even if you managed to refine it, the gold wouldn't be enough to compensate for the television set. Besides, the gold content in the circuit boards of radios and televisions is so low it's practically negligible. If you were to refine it by the ton, you might not even be able to extract a single gram.
The country is short of funds! Why would they use it on a radio circuit board? They immediately went over to stop Niu Jishan's actions.
I gave him a long lecture on cost conversion. Alchemy depends on what you're dealing with!
This infuriated Xing Baohua, who told Niu Jishan to quickly clean up the boards, restore them to their original state, and that anyone missing parts should apply to get them in line.
Xing Baohua told Su Ya to go back to the factory by herself. Seeing that Su Ya was a little reluctant, he had no choice but to comfort her again.
With Niu Jishan's help, Xing Baohua returned home. Her injuries startled her mother. Thankfully, no one told her, or she would have cried again.
Xing Baohua went home to have some peace and quiet and to think about the plans for the Great Beauty Kingdom.
George's letter mentioned that Pitmont sold its audio systems for exorbitant prices, indicating that there is a market for high-quality audio systems.
Three units have already been shipped, and the technical skills have improved. Xing Baohua plans to start producing audio equipment at the Shangguzhuang factory first, where Xu Shuai knows how to proceed.
As for the motherboard work, Liu Quan and Niu Jishan were to work overtime at night to teach Niu Jishan.
The only thing to consider now is a foreign exchange account. We have the factory, but to apply for an independent foreign exchange account, besides connections, we also need a stable overseas order base.
Last time, Liu Haibo said Zhang Taoming could help, but I don't know how strong his connections are. If Zhang Taoming can't handle it, Xing Baohua will have to resort to a foreign trade company for affiliation, but that will be extremely difficult. It might even bring trouble upon them.
It's so difficult; you have to be extremely careful with everything. Making money domestically isn't easy these days! If you have a lot of money, how do you prove its legal source? If you can't prove it, then it's considered embezzlement. That's practically suicide!
It means foreigners can openly pocket their money without paying taxes. They even refund the taxes, plus various subsidies, which will make you ecstatic.
That's how it was back then. The incentives for earning foreign exchange were unimaginable; the government would provide so much support and subsidies. Under these incentives, many companies produced goods at a loss to earn foreign exchange, using low prices to win the market.
With government backing, it's practically like giving it away for free. But can you really win the market that way? This isn't winning the market; it's giving money to capitalists! They'll turn around and slap you in the face, saying your quality is bad and demanding lower prices.
The video recorder is out, the next step is to get a sound system for a home theater, while also ensuring good sound quality for karaoke.
If we want to conduct research, we need to get a video recorder. We can ask Liu Haibo to get that done. Now that we've invested, we have to get things done.
As for Henry from the motorcycle company, Xing Baohua needs to figure out how to reply to him.
In fact, Xing Baohua was really looking forward to Uncle Qiao writing to him. He didn't reply to George's message, probably because he didn't like the architecture of the graphics card-level chip.
"Should I write to George and ask him to try advertising with Intel and Texas Instruments?" Xing Baohua wondered.
“We should send out some more stuff to test Old Man Qiao’s patience. This guy isn’t taking the bait, it’s not a good idea! This old fellow has always had some prejudice against Chinese people. He’s never been to the mainland in his life, but he’s been to Japan many times. Is it because he’s Chinese?” Xing Baohua wondered.
After thinking for a while, I decided to put it aside for now and focus on taking a bite out of the motorcycle behemoth first. If it could get me a two-way paging system… well, forget about that.
First, think about how to get the usage rights. You think you can buy it without a few hundred million? Paging is so profitable now! It's a pity that Motorola started developing paging systems in the 1950s, and they've built up a fortress of patents over the years.
It's too difficult to bypass it; we need to adapt to the times.
Xing Baohua actually had a way to circumvent it. But the tower would only be for show; the analog signal tower wasn't even finished, how could he expect to get a digital signal?
Do you think those bigwigs at the post office would even bother with you? You can only exchange groundbreaking products for some money to increase your capital for research and development.
I'm writing and drawing despite the pain. Luckily, it's only a scratch on the left side, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to put pen to paper.
When Xing's father came home from get off work, he saw that Xing Baohua was busy, so he didn't disturb her. He just sighed and shook his head.
Xu Shuai came over that evening and told him that Secretary Huang had asked him to find a few reliable apprentices, as arranged by Xing Baohua. They needed to be taught how to cut materials, wrap enamel threads, and so on.
Xing Baohua told Xu Shuai to start training as soon as possible, as Petermont had placed an order.
If we manufacture it and ship it out as soon as possible, we can receive payment before National Day.
Xing Baohua didn't like this payment model and it had to be changed to payment first, then delivery. That would be how it would be initially. The priority was to establish a good reputation first.
After two days of rest, the superficial wounds on Xing Baohua's arm had scabbed over and were no longer a major concern. The only problem was that she couldn't swing her arm wildly.
I rode my little motorcycle to Liu Haibo's place first.
The person opening the door has changed. The younger sister-in-law is doing something else, while a busty woman is greeting guests.
When she entered, Xing Baohua noticed those two points. Not that she looked at them intentionally, but they were just too conspicuous.
These days, not many families can afford to eat well! How did this girl manage to eat so well? Judging from her clear complexion, she's probably even younger than me!
