Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

Afterwards, Li Mingmei took Xu Damao to see the three ocean-going sailing ships, which were basically products of the last century and were said to have been directly transferred from Madagascar. Baron Casar also had property in Madagascar.

These three boats... well, they are not suitable for fishing, and they are probably not suitable for deep-sea fishing. Xu Damao thinks these things can be put in a museum or turned into a theme park.

However, if there is a tempering card, it doesn't seem to be a difficult task to temper the three of them into a small advanced ocean-going sailing ship.

When you go on a diplomatic mission to another country, you'll need a decent means of transportation, right?

Xu Damao liked these three ships as gifts very much.

Besides, there were sailors and captains on board. Except for a few Frenchmen, the others were all natives of Madagascar, so they could speak the same language. They were teaching the people of the Crescent Kingdom the control techniques, which was very easy for those who had used sailboats here to get started.

Seeing that the development here has started to take off, Xu Damao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He will then get more used machinery and start tempering and upgrading after the second phase of acceptance.

We need some cars, some cannons, as well as warships, helicopters and tanks... We can't get them, and even if we do, no one will use them. It would be better to get more rocket launchers and RPGs for air defense.

In fact, Xu Damao overestimated these rebels. They really had no warships, helicopters or tanks.

However, a great man once said: "Despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically." It is not wrong for me to take it seriously.

Finally, we replenished some supplies, had a big meal, and went to the moon again. After confirming the information in the newspaper with Chen Boan and confirming that he indeed agreed and recognized the legitimacy of our country's establishment, we felt relieved and returned to the courtyard.

----------------

The next day, Xu Damao got up early to go to work. When he walked to the front yard, he saw Yan Bugui smiling and wanting to say something, but Xu Damao ignored him and went straight to work pushing the new bicycle awarded as a prize from the factory.

What else can I say? It's fine that the whole family is scheming against each other, but you are scheming against me and reporting me, and you want me to let you go?

no way!

It wouldn't matter if he offended one more person, but Xu Damao counted and it seemed that he had already offended all the main characters in the Siheyuan?

Have I become the villain now?

It doesn’t matter, do whatever you want.

When he arrived at the factory and just came to the Propaganda Department, Section Chief Huang informed him to go to the Logistics Department to find Li Huaide because there was something.

"Brother Li, what's the matter?" Xu Damao walked into Li Huaide's office, poured himself a tea and found a cigarette, very self-satisfied.

Li Huaide had no objection, and it was impossible for him to have an objection. The whole factory now knew that Xu Damao was his half-brother.

"The factory will hold a meeting later about the speaker factory. Representatives from the Ministry of Metallurgy, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Commerce will all be here."

"Don't be so flamboyant today, and be more tactful with your words."

Li Huaide reminded him that he would not mention it last time because it was to help him deal with Ling Feng.

Those who are here this time are the ones with real power. If you continue to be so arrogant, it will be detrimental to your future.

But does Xu Damao have the concept of a future in his mind?

But knowing that Li Huaide meant well, I just laughed it off. Whether I will be publicized later will depend on whether the leaders provoke me.

I've been very angry recently.

----------------

Soon, Li Huaide, Director Yang, Secretary Nie, the secretary, and other senior leaders gathered together, and the preparatory meeting for the speaker factory officially began.

First there was a bunch of nonsense, explaining the importance of this factory, the importance of foreign exchange, and how it was important to the country's development. Xu Damao was confused as he listened.

In his opinion, this thing is just used to make money, how can it be so important?

It is not something that can be eaten or drunk, and is currently positioned as a luxury item. To be honest, he doesn't have anything else on hand, and things that are not closely related to people's livelihood are not important in his eyes.

This year marks the third consecutive year of natural disasters, and food is the most important thing.

"Then, there are some issues that need to be explained by Comrade Xu Damao."

"Comrade Xu Damao, the Ministry of Commerce is in charge of the external sales of the speakers. This is the result of our research. You are the designer of the speakers, and we would like to hear your opinion."

You said you would listen to Xu Damao’s opinion, but you have already made the decision. What opinion can a small projectionist like me have?

"That's great, but I want to ask, will the Ministry of Commerce register the trademark brand in Hong Kong, set up a company in Hong Kong, and apply for international patent protection?"

The head of the Ministry of Commerce was stunned for a moment, but still patiently answered Xu Damao: "Well, there is no precedent in China, so I don't think it is necessary, right?"

"Establishing a company in Hong Kong, registering the trademark brand you mentioned, applying for international patent protection... Not only is it very expensive, but isn't that a ZB approach?"

"We are SH-ism and we follow the JH economic line. Comrade, your idea is unacceptable."

"We are going to hire you as a designer in the speaker factory. Your salary and job level are equivalent to those of a Grade 6 worker in a steel rolling mill. This is already an exceptional hiring. We also hope that Comrade Xu Damao can make more contributions to the country."

Hearing this, and looking at the smile on the face of the leader of the Ministry of Commerce, Xu Damao felt something was wrong. The leader of the Ministry of Metallurgy had mentioned the deputy director, and Li Huaide had secured a job for him, and both were very sincere.

Even if I were to be demoted a little, and there was no cadre post, but only a technical post would be fine. After all, I had just been promoted to a regular employee not long ago, and my target was a Level 2 worker, or a Level 2 technician.

Worker-level Xu Damao's psychological expectation is to be an engineer, that is, a level 9 worker. Although we don't have this technology, we have plug-ins!

To put it in an exaggerated way, I can come up with a complete series of design drawings for any first-line products at any time, and help the country earn foreign exchange. In this case, it is not too much to be a level 9 engineer, right?

Although engineers have to take exams and I may not pass them, but if I don't have a work grade, it's not too much to give me the treatment of an engineer, right?

But now the Ministry of Commerce says that I am just a designer? A nominal position that they say is just a title? It only corresponds to a Level 6 worker? If there is a restructuring or a change of leadership one day, won’t I, a designer, be useless? A role that can be fired at any time.

Therefore, without clear work levels or positions, you are just giving yourself a false impression!

The current situation is not that Xu Damao is too ambitious and wants to soar to the sky -

But someone wants to pick peaches.

"We can build a factory in China to produce it, and then sell it directly abroad through the Ministry of Commerce. As long as this speaker is well received internationally, it will also be a boost to our country's prestige."

"So how do you price it?"

"The cost price of the No. 15 speaker is said to be 25 yuan. We estimate the price to be 100 yuan per unit. The net profit is already 300%, which cannot be too high."

"What name will you give this speaker? What brand will it be targeted at? What countries' markets? What is your marketing strategy? Do you have a dedicated advertising design department? How will it be advertised? Where will it be advertised? How much money have you prepared for the promotion? Are the products divided into mid-range, high-end and low-end? Have you prepared for technology iteration? How much money is there for development and research? Will you promote it locally or find agents abroad?"

"..."

Xu Damao said a lot of things in a rapid-fire manner, and then everyone was stunned and didn't understand.

Then everyone looked at the big boss of the Ministry of Commerce, waiting for him to speak.

"This...we still have to go back and discuss it."

Xu Damao sighed, stood up, bowed to everyone and said, "I'm sorry, leaders. I feel that I am limited in my ability to handle this speaker factory matter—"

"I won't participate."
