Chapter 98 What happened? [Subscription support]

Wang Haoran also told reporters that the efficiency and performance of domestically-developed color TV production lines will catch up with the world's advanced level in the future.

"Here, I want to say that we don't have to buy the Xifang's color TV production line at a high price!"

"Because our own domestic color TV production line can not only reach the world's advanced level, but also our price is less than one-tenth of similar products in developed countries!"

"We can definitely save foreign exchange and use it where it is more needed!"

After finishing the interview, Wang Jianguo returned to his unit full of excitement.

After the news was edited, Wang Jianguo immediately sent it to the desk of editor-in-chief Guo Peiran.

After reading the news, Guo Peiran was also a little excited.

He smiled and said, “That’s really good news!”

"I've heard that Wang Haoran applied for a project to develop a domestic color TV production line, but I didn't expect that he would be able to produce results so quickly."

"Then hurry up and submit this news for review. Once it passes the review, we will broadcast it on the major news program tonight."

The news was submitted for review.

The review was passed quickly.

That evening, the news was broadcast on the 7 o'clock news program of Beijing TV.

After this news was broadcast, it caused a huge response.

……

The chief designer watches the 7 o'clock news every night.

The same thing happened this evening.

After he finished his dinner, he saw that it was almost time, so he sat down on the sofa. The service staff turned on the TV and tuned it to the Beijing TV channel.

The designer crossed his legs, picked up a red panda, knocked it on the table habitually, then put it to his mouth and lit it with a match.

The 7 o'clock news will be on soon.

The things ahead are all national affairs.

The following is economic and technological news.

While the leader was smoking, the news that Wang Haoran led his team to achieve a major breakthrough in the research of domestic color TV production lines began to be broadcast.

He held the cigarette between two fingers and watched the news with great interest.

After reading the news, the leader was very happy.

He nodded and said to the staff around him: "Not bad, not bad!"

"The major challenges in domestic color TV technology have almost all been overcome. It seems that Comrade Haoran will definitely be able to create another major scientific research achievement this time!"

The staff around him laughed and said, "It would be great if we could really use domestic color TV production lines to produce color TVs."

“The price of color TVs is ridiculous these days!”

The leader nodded and said, "This situation really needs to be resolved as soon as possible."

"I heard that Sichuan Province is negotiating with Jiaoben to buy their more advanced color TV production line, and Jiaoben is asking for 10 billion dollars in foreign exchange!"

"It's really a bit too much!"

"I sincerely hope that there will be more similar domestic breakthroughs!"

"Yes! Tell Comrade Haoran to come to my place in the next two days. I want to learn about the situation in person."

……

Jiro Ono is an executive at Panasonic, a footbath giant.

He is currently in the capital of Dragon Kingdom.

This time he came here to negotiate with a company in Longguo about the purchase of a color TV production line.

Panasonic is now a global electronics giant.

The company's home appliances are sold all over the world and are very popular.

Today's foot basin companies are full of vigor and vitality.

They have strong R&D capabilities and are very fast in product updates and iterations.

Panasonic has eliminated several outdated production lines.

These production lines were dismantled and stored in the warehouse.

In fact, Panasonic originally planned to sell it as scrap metal.

However, later on, someone very cleverly suggested that instead of treating it as scrap metal, we might as well sell it to less developed countries, and thus make a lot of money.

When Panasonic's executives heard this, they thought it made sense.

But the key point is: who should these outdated equipment be sold to?
Panasonic began looking for buyers all over the world.

Then, they heard the news that a company in Longguochuan Province was planning to buy a color TV production line.

So, Panasonic deliberately spread the rumor that it was going to deal with the previous generation of color TV production lines that had just been eliminated.

Soon, someone from Longguo contacted them.

It is the legendary enterprise in Sichuan Province.

Jiro Ono came here this time to negotiate with the other party.

The other party's negotiating representative is Ni Haifeng, who is said to be the head of that company.

Jiro Ono just had a talk with Ni Haifeng two days ago.

During that negotiation, Jiro Ono asked for a high price of $10 billion.

Ni Haifeng counter-offered 1 million dollars.

In fact, $1 million is a good deal for Panasonic.

After all, it's waste!

Being able to sell the scrap for another 1 million US dollars is a huge profit.

Jiro Ono offered Ni Haifeng a price of 6 million dollars!

At that time, Ono Jiro said to Ni Haifeng: "Mr. Ni, please think carefully about this price."

"If you still can't accept it, then we can't cooperate this time."

"I will only wait for you here for two days. If you still feel it's not working after two days, I will leave."

"To be honest, our production lines are generally not exported."

"You are very lucky to have the means to purchase such an advanced production line as ours."

Ni Haifeng said that he would think about it carefully when he returned.

Jiro Ono sat down on the sofa in the hotel room that evening.

He is going to watch TV.

The hotel where he stayed was a foreign-related one and of very high quality, with televisions in the rooms.

It's just a 14-inch color TV, a very small one.

Every time Jiro Ono sees this TV, he feels a sense of superiority.

He is an expert in Chinese and has studied Chinese for seven or eight years.

Watching TV is of course a no-brainer.

Ono Jiro was in a relaxed mood, thinking that he had already defeated the Dragon countryman Ni Haifeng!
Because the other party actually has no better choice.

The production line that Panasonic wants to sell for foot basins is relatively advanced.

Other countries simply won’t sell to Dragon Country companies.

Xiaoye thought, if Ni Haifeng still doesn't give me confirmed purchase information by tomorrow, I will call him and tell him that I am leaving soon to find another buyer to sign a contract.

Just as Jiro Ono was thinking this proudly, the TV began to broadcast the news that Longguo's domestic color TV production line had made a major breakthrough.

At first, Jiro Ono didn't take it seriously.

He felt that even in another hundred years, the Chinese would not be able to develop their own color TV production line.

However, when he saw the scene on the screen, he immediately lost his composure.

Because an expert can tell whether there is something just by stretching out his hand! When Ono Jiro saw the equipment and products displayed on the TV screen, he knew that the major breakthrough in the color TV production line displayed by the Dragon people this time was absolutely true!

God!

What happened in the end?
Jiro Ono was originally sitting, but then he stood up anxiously.

His first thought was: I have to meet this Wang Haoran tomorrow!
He wanted to verify whether Wang Haoran's research results were true.

Jiro Ono has a strong sense of superiority in Dragon Country.

He always felt that he could join any unit he wanted.

He can see whomever he wants to see.

Moreover, he was always treated as a guest of honor.

……

However, Ni Haifeng is still in the capital at this time.

However, he lived in a guesthouse with very poor conditions.

There is no TV in the room where Ni Haifeng lives.

But there was a black and white TV in the lobby of the guesthouse.

During the few days that Ni Haifeng stayed in this guesthouse, he would go downstairs to watch TV for a while every night.

Ni Haifeng is in a bad mood now.

Because the price the Japanese asked for was too high.

Ridiculously high!

Ni Haifeng had to beg everyone for help, but he was able to raise just over 2 million dollars in foreign exchange.

He had originally imagined that this should be enough no matter what.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese asked for 10 billion dollars.

Finally, after his hard bargaining, the price was reduced to 6 million US dollars!

And he also said: I will wait for him for two days at most!
After two days, there is no need to wait any longer. The little devils will sell it to the next family!
Before Ni Haifeng came into contact with Jiro Ono, he had actually come into contact with and compared with many companies on the Xifang side.

He found that only Panasonic's production line might be the most advanced and had high production efficiency.

But what should I do if I don’t have enough money?
Ni Haifeng also knew that it was impossible to raise another 300 or 400 million yuan.

Ni Haifeng thought, maybe the foot basin man was also playing psychological warfare?
The other party is probably asking for a high price, thinking that he can easily gain control of the situation.

If the Japanese had better buyers, why would they come to talk to me?
Ni Haifeng decided that he would no longer take the initiative to contact Ono Jiro.

Just wait for the other party to contact you...

That night, Ni Haifeng did as usual. After dinner, he went downstairs to the first floor of the guesthouse.

The space on the first floor is actually not very large.

There is a TV on the service counter.

Guests staying at the hotel can sit on small stools and watch TV.

Naturally, Ni Haifeng soon saw the news about the major breakthrough in domestic color TV production lines.

He was shocked, yet ecstatic inside.

Has the domestic color TV production line achieved a breakthrough?

Moreover, it looks like it might be possible to successfully develop it next year.

Then why should I buy the Japanese's second-hand production line?
Ni Haifeng was also a little restless.

He decided that he must go to Beijing Institute of Technology tomorrow.

He wants to meet Wang Haoran.

If the news is true, then I have to have a good talk with Wang Haoran and ask him to sell the first production line to me!

……

People across the country who watch the news on TV are all talking about the domestic color TV production line.

Of course, major news programs such as the 7 o'clock news can actually be heard on the radio.

In short, this incident became a hot topic in the early days of December 1977.

On the same evening that the news was broadcast, the chief designer sent someone to find Wang Haoran, and the leader asked Wang Haoran to meet him the next morning.

Wang Haoran achieved his goal and he was very happy.

The next morning, he arrived at the school's materials department laboratory at a little after 7 o'clock.

Zhang Aimin and other members of the research team were already waiting for him there. Zhang Aimin also formed a small team in the Department of Materials Science, with a total of six people, all young teachers, specializing in the research of various materials.

Today, Wang Haoran plans to work with Zhang Aimin to further improve the performance of photosensitive materials.

As mentioned earlier, the manufacturing principle of PCB circuit boards is actually the same as that of chips.

This photosensitive material is usually used as a photosensitive dry film in PCB manufacturing.

Photosensitive materials are also very important. In the process of the exposure machine, the circuit diagram can be engraved through exposure.

Under the guidance of Wang Haoran, Zhang Aimin's team had previously developed a photosensitive dry film that can be used, but its performance is still not very good.

Therefore, Wang Haoran is going to help Zhang Aimin and others improve themselves today.

"Comrade Haoran, my teacher found me last night and talked to me for a long time." Zhang Aimin said to Wang Haoran while working.

Wang Haoran naturally knew that the teacher Zhang Aimin was referring to here was Professor Fu Zheyuan from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

When he first applied for the project, Wang Haoran visited Fu Zheyuan and invited him to join the research team.

But Fu Zheyuan declined and recommended his student Zhang Aimin.

Wang Haoran said: "What did you say?"

Zhang Aimin said: "He said that our domestic color TV production line project is very good, and he is very pleased that I can grow quickly."

Zhang Aimin paused and said, "My teacher must have seen the news last night. He may have regretted it a little."

"I always feel that he wants to rejoin our research group from what he said."

Under the guidance of Wang Haoran, Zhang Aimin developed several new materials for color TV production lines in more than a month.

Photosensitive materials are just one of them, there are also fluorescent agents, PCB substrate materials, semiconductor materials used to manufacture diodes, triodes, etc.

The results are quite rich.

Scientific researchers get promotions and salary increases based on their achievements.

Zhang Aimin was just a young lecturer, but after working on this project with Wang Haoran, he had accumulated enough results to be promoted to associate professor in less than two months.

Moreover, judging from this trend, Zhang Aimin’s scientific research results in the Department of Materials this year are likely to rank first!

According to regulations, Zhang Aimin should be promoted to senior position in a few years.

Fu Zheyuan is obviously a little regretful now.

Originally, this big piece of cake should have been his, but in the end, he gave it up, and it became a success for the young man instead.

After listening to Zhang Aimin's words, Wang Haoran smiled and said, "You definitely can't come back."

"At first, Professor Fu was too proud to let go of his pride and refused to join my research group. He thought that this was flattering me and that it was a loss of face for him."

"Now that he sees that the results are coming, he wants to come back. How can such a good thing happen?"

Zhang Aimin nodded and said, "Okay, I know what you mean."

Wang Haoran glanced at Zhang Aimin and asked, "Did Professor Fu ask you to test me?"

Zhang Aimin was a little embarrassed: "Oh, yeah."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Just reply to him and tell him that Wang Haoran said that this project has been completed for more than half and no more people can be added. Let's work together on the next project."

Zhang Aimin nodded: "Okay."

As the two were talking, someone from the school security department came to the laboratory with a man in a Zhongshan suit.
