In the real economy, one of the most profitable sectors is still large-scale integrated circuits.
There are only a handful of companies in the world that can produce it on a large scale, and they have no shortage of customers; they're all vying to place orders.
Old Mou had also heard about how fast it was to make money here. After all, he had interned at a rice factory for a few days and just looking at the products on the assembly line, they were densely packed with parts, and people on both sides of the line were busy working.
The more you produce, the better you sell, and the more money you make.
So they hurriedly wanted to discuss with Xing Baohua how to get the integrated circuit factory up and running as soon as possible. They had boasted so much before, but now the customers had finally arrived.
You can't rely on rice factories; they can't even finish their own orders, so how can they help with production?
Xing Baohua first asked Lao Mou to bring out the blueprints, saying that he wanted to calculate the cost first.
He would study the blueprints first; even if others couldn't understand them, he could probably figure out the gist of it.
The size of the motherboard, the electronic components it contains, the chips, the circuitry, and other factors give you a rough idea of what kind of object it will be used in.
There's a reserved space for a chip on the drawing, and the words "GNAA" are on it.
Suddenly, Xing Baohua thought of GLONASS.
GLONASS is also a positioning system, dating back to the mid-1960s, and has been continuously upgraded and launched into space since then.
This thing was as famous as GPS. Later, Europe, together with several countries, developed Galileo.
What do you think the Russians need this thing for? Where would they use it?
Xing Baohua thought about it several times, then picked up the phone on his desk and called Xie Yingying.
A moment later, Xie Yingying came over, and Xing Baohua handed her the blueprints, saying to everyone, "Have the people in the data room make a few copies, and send one copy to the hardware team to calculate the cost."
"Okay, is there anything else, Mr. Xing?"
Xing Baohua shook her head and replied, "No, that's all."
Back in the reception area, as soon as they sat down, Old Mou asked enthusiastically, "President Xing, are you aware of the situation? The local comrades have arrived. If you agree, we'll go back and make preparations?"
"What do I agree to?"
"Didn't I just say I was going to build an integrated circuit factory?"
"You're not my employee, you don't need my permission. If you want to build it, then build it!"
Old Mou was dumbfounded. Building a factory was easy enough! The problem was he had no equipment and no manpower! Wasn't he just hoping for rice support?
But then, Xing Baohua seemed to change his mind, feigning ignorance and not knowing what was going on.
Actually, if someone has money, it's not that they can't produce rice; they just need to hire people.
But that would waste so much time! Some things require us to produce them ourselves and then buy production lines, while others require assembly lines or final assembly lines.
If he wants to get into production quickly, he can't find a shortcut without rice.
"Mr. Xing, Nande Electronics can't do without your support! So we've decided to purchase our entire production line from you. Doesn't DaMi have a vocational school? We'll take care of any graduates who want to work at Nande Electronics, and they'll even get double the salary, plus local living allowances, and so on."
Xing Baohua lit a cigarette, showing no intention of offering it to anyone else. After lighting it, he said, "Old Mou! There are some things you can get involved in. Didn't I tell you before? Try to avoid getting involved with rice as much as possible. What is the motherboard on the blueprints for? It contains key components, do you know?"
"It can't be a giant mushroom, can it? They wouldn't ask us to do something so confidential!" Old Mou said with a chuckle.
“GLONASS should look into this. We are a private enterprise and shouldn’t get involved in things outside of private enterprises.”
Old Mou slapped his thigh and said, "I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before. Oh, I remember now, when I visited the satellite launch site, they explained it to me. It's about satellites, isn't it!"
"It's a satellite, but it's different from the one I gave you. Do you know GPS? It has similar performance."
After Xing Baohua explained, Lao Mou was a little stunned, as if he was trying to figure it out, and said with a bit of excitement, "Is it the kind of navigation system used on ships?"
"right."
"How many are they planning to launch?!"
"This is not a transmitting device, it's a receiving device," Xing Baohua reminded.
"How many ships would that take? If they don't have the money to pay, could I use the payment to get a few of these things and then sell the receivers produced by the factory?"
Xing Baohua couldn't help but admire Lao Mou's business acumen and sensitivity. He had come up with a way to make money. The key was that this thing might not be used on a ship. The ship you mentioned might have a designation and number.
Civilian use? Haha, they won't even open the ports for you.
As for wanting to get a few to play with, haven't you seen how many difficulties Xing Baohua, who is so rich, has encountered?
Converting it for civilian use is fraught with difficulties; sometimes it's not something money can solve.
Besides, the money Lao Mou has is all raised through fundraising. If you can't keep up, it will cause big trouble. It won't just affect one or two people, but a whole group of people.
Lao Mou and the local investment promotion personnel from Manchuria walked out of the rice company, having gained nothing from the trip and even received a warning from Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua told him not to touch this thing, no matter how much it cost, and to refuse those people from the Far East, saying that they couldn't manufacture it.
One reason is the fear of future troubles, and the other is the fear that Lao Mou's funds will not keep up, causing an even bigger hole.
This old guy just loves to stir things up. He wants to invest in everything. The key is, if you know something, great; if you don't know anything, he'll just follow any path he sees.
In later years, he suffered from too many investment projects, many of which failed, leading to cash flow problems and an inability to cover losses.
