Chapter 3128 Old Zhao: Is this all it takes to achieve the goal?
Night falls.
Lee Seungri had just finished a call with people in China and went to bed to rest.
Just lying in bed, looking at the bright moon appearing through the skylight, I had the feeling that the moon was especially bright abroad.
Of course, if he could, he would like to go back to Beijing right now.
The more I think about the moon over my hometown, and the changes in my hometown, the less I can sleep.
These past few days, he has finally come to understand why the people here have changed their attitudes so drastically.
Firstly, news came from the Alliance that the power of the space-based weapon had been confirmed, and currently, apart from those who sold it to the Persians and the desert camels, only they and the Alliance possessed such a weapon.
Of course, the control switches for the Persians and the camels were still in their hands.
In other words, only two people currently possess this super weapon.
Whether other countries will be able to figure it out is another story.
Therefore, during this period of time, they will receive sufficient respect.
Secondly, there's the pager issue.
With the development of pager services, more and more people here want to own a pager.
Especially the teenagers, they all hung pagers on their waists, looking incredibly smug.
It is said that many girls receive a pager when they go on a date.
Otherwise, the date will be difficult to succeed.
Moreover, those who participated in this World Cup also realized the benefits of pagers.
Not only can they easily contact each other, but they can also inquire about the results of matches held in different cities.
Sometimes, a fan with a pager will be surrounded by a crowd, waiting for news from other cities.
Whenever the news came, it caused a sensation.
This has led more people to inquire about how to buy pagers.
According to his findings, of the 500,000 pagers initially purchased in West Germany, 100,000 were used by local public officials, while the remaining 400,000 were put on the market.
Furthermore, in order to promote the product quickly, the Federal German government specifically lowered the sales price.
Last year, taking advantage of the oil crisis, West Germany quickly adjusted its exchange rate, at one point reaching a point where one mark could be exchanged for two US dollars.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Federal German government seized a large amount of US dollars.
However, this situation gradually returned to its previous state after the United States made swift adjustments to its monetary policy.
Now, one US dollar can be exchanged for two marks.
The federal government then exchanged the stolen dollars for marks, making another profit.
Only in this way could pagers be sold to the public for 200 marks.
You should know that this thing cost two hundred and fifty US dollars a unit when it was purchased from China.
Two hundred marks, which at the current exchange rate is less than one hundred US dollars.
It can be said that West Germany is mentally prepared to lose money but gain reputation, as long as they can do a good job in this World Cup.
What was unexpected was that the popularity of pagers far exceeded people's expectations.
This time, the other party contacted him and requested to purchase ten million units. The sheer number made him pinch his thigh in surprise. Only after confirming that the other party was not joking did he realize that the pager had truly made a name for itself this time.
Next, it will soar into the sky.
With my thoughts in disarray, I gradually felt drowsy.
Before long, snoring could be heard from inside the room.
The city of Sijiu, nine departments.
Yang Xiaotao yawned; it had been another tiring day last night.
"President Yang!"
Lou Xiao'e saw Yang Xiaotao yawning as he came in, and quickly got up and went to greet him.
She arrived a little early today and then received a call from Li Shengli.
Good morning, Xiao'e.
Yang Xiaotao greeted them and walked to his seat, unconsciously rubbing his lower back a couple of times.
Lou Xiao'e looked down and smiled. The man rubbing his lower back was either from standing for too long or from fighting for too long.
Clearly, this Mr. Yang usually works sitting down, so it can only be the latter.
Thinking of this, the days I spent in the courtyard house came back to mind.
Their house was right behind the Yang family's house, so at night...
Yang Xiaotao did not notice Lou Xiao'e's unusual expression, and simply picked up his pen as usual to prepare for his work.
Currently, besides designing chat software, I also need to learn and master the computer CPU that the system rewarded me with, and then I need to take the opportunity to study 'carrier-based aircraft'.
In addition, there are various daily tasks to handle, as well as meetings that may be held at any time.
Work has been arranged perfectly, and life has also been arranged clearly.
For a moment, Yang Xiaotao even felt that he was not as good as Wangcai.
"Mr. Yang."
Lou Xiao'e took a few steps forward, and Yang Xiaotao looked up at her.
"I just received a call from Li Shengli."
Yang Xiaotao put down his pen. "He called again?"
"Correct!"
"And this time they also said something important."
Lou Xiao'e quickly explained what had happened.
"Ten million?"
"How many people are there in the Federal Republic of Germany?"
"If we can't sell them, we'll be stuck with them."
"No, these people are all shrewd. What are they planning to do with so much?"
Lou Xiao'e listened to Yang Xiaotao muttering to himself, not knowing what to say.
But I was actually happy.
Since they said it's ten million units, then it's ten million.
With the resources of the Ninth Division, it's not like they couldn't make it. And making it would cost a fortune.
At current prices, even if the Ninth Ministry of Machinery Industry, the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry, and the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry jointly took on this order, it would still cost at least one billion US dollars.
This brings us one step closer to completing the target mission.
"By the way, Director Yang, they requested that it be delivered within a week."
Lou Xiao'e quickly reminded him, as if she had just thought of something.
Within a week?
"Yes, Li Shengli also said that they could rent a plane to transport them, and they would pay for the travel expenses."
Within a week!
Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment and immediately understood the other party's plan; the World Cup was still going on for a week.
These ten million pagers are most likely targeted at this group of people.
It's worth noting that while many European countries have been inquiring about computers and printers, the one they've clearly committed to is the pager business.
Like France, it was the second country after West Germany to purchase pagers.
The paging station hasn't been built yet, so even if we bought it, it wouldn't be of any use.
Secondly, there are the Bullfighting Kingdom and the Portuguese.
Both countries have also made it clear that they will introduce pager services.
Negotiations have already begun with the foreign trade department. Once the paging station in West Germany is completed, they will send people to guide the construction of the signal towers.
As for people from other countries, we are also gradually making contact with them.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao asked, "How many pagers do we have left in stock?"
"Wait a moment while I take a look."
Lou Xiao'e quickly turned around and returned to her seat, then opened the files on her computer to check them.
After a while, Lou Xiao'e finally spoke up, "President Yang, our Ninth Division still has six million units in stock, five million of which are reserved for the Japanese islands."
Yang Xiaotao scratched his head, "I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."
"Once Li Shengli and the others return, it will probably have to be sent to Japan."
"So, you can only produce one million units?"
Lou Xiao'e continued to look at the data and then said, "President Yang, this data is from three days ago. During this period, the production capacity of our Ninth Division has greatly increased, and producing 10,000 units per day should not be a problem."
"Moreover, the Third and Fourth Ministries of Machine Building are also on the right track. With dozens of factories across the country, there should still be one million in three days."
Yang Xiaotao stroked his chin and said, "Okay, call the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry and ask them how much inventory they have right now."
Lou Xiao'e immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number.
Taking advantage of this moment, Yang Xiaotao also picked up the phone and called Old Zhao.
After the call was connected, Yang Xiaotao explained about selling the pager production line to the Alliance.
The production of pagers was one part of this, and the base stations of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry were also an important part.
Old Zhao immediately understood what Yang Xiaotao meant; he was trying to get him involved in making money from the alliance.
He was very grateful at the moment, and then when Yang Xiaotao asked about the production of pagers and briefly explained the ten million unit order from the Federal Republic of Germany, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Mr. Yang, our current daily output is 400,000 units. If we have enough raw materials, we can increase production by working three shifts a day and night."
"There are still about a million units in the warehouse. I'm not entirely sure of the exact number, but I'll check and get back to you later."
Yang Xiaotao was surprised when he heard that the other party's daily output had reached 400,000 units. "Old Zhao, your daily output has reached 400,000 units. How many factories have you built?"
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, Old Zhao laughed and said, "Mr. Yang, isn't this to complete the task as quickly as possible? We built about ten more factories on top of the original plan of twenty factories."
"Currently, there are 33 factories operating at full capacity to produce pagers, with a daily output of approximately 400,000."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and then exclaimed, "Old Zhao, you guys are so forward-thinking! You deserve to eat meat!"
Old Zhao paused for a moment, then understood the meaning behind the words, and said with a smile, "That's only because of your leadership, General Manager Yang, that we can eat meat."
Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "In that case, let's send ten million units to the Federal Republic of Germany first."
"Your factory can continue normal production. A few days' delay for Japan and South Goguryeo is not a problem."
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to bring the goods up right away."
After they finished speaking, they hung up the phone.
After waiting a while, Lou Xiao'e also hung up the phone, and then smiled and said, "President Yang, the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry has 500,000 units in stock, and their daily output is around 100,000."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then instructed, "Contact the foreign trade department; we can ship the goods at any time."
"Yes!"
For the next week, cargo planes flew non-stop from Beijing to West Germany.
Under this work, ten million pagers were finally delivered within a week, completing the largest order ever sold to an external party.
The payment was made upon delivery, and the other party readily transferred the money to the foreign trade department.
Meanwhile, the negotiations with the league finally yielded results.
The alliance will purchase the entire pager production line and related intellectual property for 10 billion alliance coins.
Yang Xiaotao didn't feel he was at a disadvantage, since it was just a pager and the other party would have to buy a computer from them if they wanted to use it.
We still have to use their Chinese operating system.
And all of these can make money.
The only thing that disappointed Yang Xiaotao was that the other party did not choose to exchange resources for it.
For Zhao Lao of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, however, it was a very worthwhile deal.
As previously agreed, the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry handed over all the construction data and related equipment for the base stations to the alliance, and therefore enjoyed one-tenth of the profits.
In other words, they can get 2.5 billion out of the 10 billion Alliance Coins.
Based on the current exchange rate between Alliance Coin and US Dollar, one Alliance Coin is equal to 1.3 US Dollars.
That's $3.25 billion.
In addition to the previous sales of pagers, the construction of base stations in West Germany, and future orders from South Goguryeo and Japan.
Old Zhao pressed the calculator buttons rapidly, and when the final result appeared, the number before him was almost unbelievable.
It wasn't until I calculated it twice more that I finally admitted to a fact.
That means that only half of the year has passed, but the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building has already achieved its year-end target of 15 billion US dollars in foreign exchange!
