Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

After the meeting was over, the top leader left first as he had other things to do, and the remaining leaders also left one after another.

Yu Jiang looked at his leader's back and recalled the concerns he had not had the time to ask before.

I think the top leaders at the time were also worried about funding issues. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see how huge the initial investment for this project was.

However, Yu Jiang is not a person who is short of money. Even if she doesn't have a lithography machine, she still has countless ways to make money.

The phone she made brought China tens of millions of RMB in foreign exchange earnings, and Yu Jiang's own share was also hundreds of thousands.

If the money is still not enough, Yu Jiang can make a few more things and negotiate terms with his superiors, and it is not a bad idea to use the proceeds in his own research laboratory.

Anyway, Yu Jiang doesn't have the awareness of spending his own money to serve the country. Money is something that only works when it's in one's own hands.

Yu Jiang was thinking about leaving with Grandpa Lu.

Unexpectedly, I was stopped halfway.

The person who came was the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the reason why he stopped Yu Jiang was very simple.

He really needs to ask Yu Jiang, the creator of the lithography machine, for advice on how to sell the lithography machine for 10 million RMB and add three production lines.

Yu Jiang’s reply was also very simple, just two words: scarcity makes things valuable and auction.

The leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who often deal with foreigners, naturally know what the word auction is. It’s just that they have never held such an auction and have no examples to refer to. The leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are really panicked.

Although auction culture was once extremely developed in Chinese history, in recent decades the focus has been on resisting foreign enemies and developing production, and people's needs are mostly material needs. Auctions, a product that meets spiritual needs, are naturally not known to the public.

However, in the interstellar age, auctions have been developed to the extreme. Not only are those rich and powerful people keen to participate in such activities, but ordinary people also often participate in auctions online. Although most of them are not qualified to squeeze into the auction, they can take a look and broaden their horizons without spending any money.

However, due to Yu Jiang's status, she usually does not participate in such auctions. If she needs something, she naturally has her own ways.

After all, there is a free way, why bother spending money if you can just go and get it?

Yu Jiang also knew that her methods were not fair, but the people she robbed were not innocent, so she did not have any psychological burden.

Although Yu Jiang rarely went to auctions, she had been there several times and was very familiar with the auction model.

Yu Jiang briefly organized his thoughts and explained the auction model and some necessary precautions to the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In addition to the necessary framework, Yu Jiang also particularly emphasized the form of auction. In short, the purpose is to make money, with lithography machines as the leader, and to lead my country's "excellent products" out of the country.

In order to achieve this goal and make the goods appear more valuable, the first thing to do is to build an auction venue.

An auction house doesn't have to cost a lot of money, but it must be decorated in a very impressive way, giving foreigners the feeling that anything they bring in is very expensive.

As for the items being auctioned, are they all worth the money?

That's up to us to decide...

However, what Yu Jiang did not expect was that, inspired by her, the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also set a rule for this auction: anyone who wants to buy a lithography machine must meet a threshold.

The threshold is that the consumption must be no less than two million US dollars before the final lithography machine comes out.

This consumption is used as the entry qualification for purchasing the lithography machine, and only those whose consumption ranks in the top three will have the priority purchasing right of the lithography machine.

After hearing this, Yu Jiang couldn't help but sigh that it was professionals like them who knew how to cheat.

You should know that they only have three lithography machines this time, all of which are pre-sold, and the delivery date is set three months later.

This method of buying things in the first half to get a spot in the lithography machine...

When it comes to stimulating consumption, there is simply nothing better than this.

Even just by listening to Yu Jiang, one could imagine the intensity of the auction day. She wondered whether the 17 countries that wanted to buy lithography machines this time were happy or not. Anyway, part of the money from the sale of the lithography machines would be hers, so she was very happy about it.

Yu Jiang was very much looking forward to the auction, and planned to secretly discuss with the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to make sure she was notified to attend the auction and to reserve a few seats for her.

The only pity is that in order to hide Yu Jiang's identity, Yu Jiang cannot attend the auction as the inventor of the lithography machine, and can only pretend to be a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Although it's a pity, there's no other way to hide your identity...

Even because of the approval of the new plan, Yu Jiang's status was further elevated, and the protection of her information was no longer comparable to before. This also led to Yu Jiang, who originally planned to contact foreigners about lithography machines, becoming an unknown person behind the scenes.

Yu Jiang neither agreed nor opposed this.

Anyway, being able to hide her information can naturally avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, but she is not afraid even if the information is leaked, because no one here can hurt her.

Today's big event was finally completed successfully, and Yu Jiang followed Grandpa Lu back to the Lu family's old house.

On the way, Mr. Lu couldn't help but praise Yu Jiang, which was unusual for him, and he was full of praise for her performance today.

You have to know that since Mr. Lu got older, in order to maintain his prestige as an old general, he has always criticized and instructed the younger generations under him.

The ones who received the most praise from him in the family were Brother Lu and Lu Beiyuan, and the family was used to it. After all, they were the best among the younger generation.

But now the family has a granddaughter-in-law like Yu Jiang who is impeccable in every aspect, and Grandpa Lu has one more person to praise.

It’s just that Mr. Lu is a little worried. His grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law are all great, but...

Alas, why are these two good children both busy with their careers?

In this way, he will never be able to see his great-grandson again...

Although Mr. Lu thought so in his heart, he had no plans to induce labor.

Grandpa Lu thought that even if he wanted to induce labor, he didn't have the confidence to tell his grandson's wife.

After all, his disappointing grandson was the one who was away from home all day, and the young couple didn't have much time to spend together throughout the year, and a large part of this was Lu Beiyuan's fault.

In this way, as Lu Beiyuan's grandfather, Mr. Lu really felt that he had no right to help his grandson's wife...

Alas, it’s all my own disappointing grandson’s fault!

"The third brother's wife! When you go back this time, work hard at the research institute.

As for that brat Lu Beiyuan, the military merits he gained from completing this mission are probably enough to get him promoted to group leader."

Yu Jiang was a little confused as to why Mr. Lu suddenly brought up this topic.

Mr. Lu also saw Yu Jiang's confusion and continued to explain to her: "When he becomes the leader, there won't be so many missions that he needs to go out personally. Not only will you not have to worry about his safety, but he will also have more time to go home and be with you."

Mr. Lu actually thought of this for her, Yu Jiang was somewhat moved.

It's just that Lu Beiyuan has more free time...

As expected, by then, she should be the one who suffers...
