Chapter 661: Second-hand Dealer Gallic Rooster
"Comrade Vice President, what are your thoughts from a technical perspective?" asked the minister.
It is not enough that you just raise questions and we make decisions. It is not the behavior of a good comrade to just raise questions without expressing your own attitude.
The vice president did not hide his thoughts: "Dear Davari, I think we should help our comrades in the south to spread the word. I noticed that the comrades in the south, especially Comrade Gao Zhendong in their report, have made a lot of noise in the computer field in the past two years, including general computer architecture, C language, software documentation, operating system, etc. Now there is the world-leading C6108 CPU, and the DJS-59 technology they selflessly disclosed. I think we should give them a hand."
A comrade from the propaganda department thought thoughtfully: "Dawali, do you mean to help them get as much say as possible in computer science?"
The vice president nodded and said, "Yes, comrade, that's exactly what I think. We are in a difficult situation, and our technology is backward. The comrades in the south are now indisputably number one. It is impossible for them to have all the say, but in addition to our camp, it is beneficial for us to help them have a bigger voice in the other camp."
Being able to become the vice president of the highest academy of science obviously requires more than just advanced technical skills.
The comrade from the publicity department nodded and pondered: "Well, this is just like last year's laser. We also did a lot of publicity, and the facts have proved that the effect is good. This opportunity is indeed worth a try, but in terms of specifications and popularity, C6108 is not as good as laser. Is there any sense in doing this?"
The big in high-energy physics is inherently higher than computers, and although laser is high-energy physics, it is easier to understand than things like C6108.
The minister in charge of military equipment smiled and said, "Davri, I think so. As far as we know, the Gauls are already using their computers in large quantities and are even looking to import the same equipment as us. I think, at least in the professional field, our southern comrades still have a certain influence on the other side."
All the comrades laughed, including Sergeyev, the Gaul, who was always so fast.
"Well, now that the Gauls are like this, it's our turn." The comrade from the propaganda department told a very obscure little joke.
This is rare, the Russians don't like to tell jokes that much. Most of the famous Russian political jokes in the future were not created by the Russians themselves, but by Citigroup and John Bull. It's like the main force of Rufa was John Bull first and then Citigroup. This pair of conjugated father and son have done too many bad things.
"We should spread the word for them, so that people in all camps around the world will know that besides us, there are other countries on the same path that also have bright prospects."
If our propaganda machine is limited to the country, then the Russian propaganda machine can cover half of the world when it is turned on.
"The Glory of Workers - Comrade Dongfang Successfully Developed a Microcomputer"
The smallest and fastest
"A wonderful computer that can be carried with one hand"
Not Just Us, But Them Too
Computer from the Future
……
If our reports are still based on facts, commonly known as "saving face", then the Russians are exaggerating without limit.
This can be considered as a traditional skill of the leaders on both sides during the Cold War. They can brag without limit, and their main goal is to cheat as many people as possible. If I can't kill you, I will scare you to death.
Of course, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing for the opponent to be too honest and always be deceived. The Citigroup bosses felt this deeply decades later.
But that was decades later, and neither side has this awareness now.
Putting aside the strong advocacy of the Russians, the Gallic chickens are in a similar situation to the Russians.
As a friendly partner, Gallic Chicken received our proactive notification at the first opportunity. It’s not shameful to make money.
Like the Russians, they took some time to digest the news.
But the Russians are a little different. Mr. Senna is not that angry about this matter.
In his opinion, he had successfully obtained the technology they needed with the permission of the General Equipment Administration using the list provided by the Administration. It was a good deal.
He even saved several technologies for the General Equipment Administration and did not hand over all the technologies on the list to the Orientals, which made him very proud.
As for the fact that the Orientals have new computers, this is a good thing. You should buy them if you want. But whether the other party will sell them or not is another matter. I believe there will always be a chance, just like the DJS-60DJ, which was not originally on the other party's export list.
Sitting in Senna's office at this moment is the representative of Triangle Company.
The software cooperation was going very smoothly and had entered the practical operation stage, and then Triangle Aircraft received this good news. It was really good news for Triangle Aircraft.
The Gallics are well aware that with their own size, it would be difficult for them to develop a very complete industrial system like the Americans, so they don't mind borrowing the power of others when necessary.
"Mr. Senna, thank you for the good news. I think we have a better chance of success."
"Mr. Delaunay, aren't you angry that the other party concealed the most advanced computer and did not invest in the cooperative project?" Senna was still a little puzzled. After all, Triangle Company was the user of DJS-60D, and it was provided by the other party as an investment.
Delaunay smiled. "No, no, no, Mr. Senna, what you provided is really good news. For us, DJS-60D is enough for the cooperation project for now. If the other party provides more advanced computers, it will affect our investment ratio. And the reason why this news is good news is that the Orientals have shown us their capabilities - they really have the ability to provide a new computer that is ten times faster than DJS-59/60D within two years."
"Ahaha, Mr. Delaunay, your words have enlightened me. Since you mentioned the cooperation project, how is the cooperation project going now?"
Speaking of this, Delaunay is no longer sleepy: "It went very smoothly! Although the Orientals are very lacking in industrial experience, they are very capable in computers. After all, that is where the main computer for the project was born. They are not only capable, but also have a large number of people. Most importantly, they are very hardworking. We even worry about their health when they work so hard."
At this point, Delaunay quietly approached Senna and said, "Besides, their fees are very cheap! We even secretly gave them some off-project work to do, and they didn't notice it, and they completed it very well. Compared to them, our own people are too expensive and too lazy."
Delaunay looked very happy, and Senna was also very proud of it: "As long as you are satisfied, we are always ready to serve you."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Senna. I just need to trouble you with something."
"At your service, please."
"You are aware that the Dongfangs are selling the DJS-59s they replaced."
"Yes, and compared to new machines, these machines are very cheap." Senna nodded.
"I want to eat all these machines, as many as I can!"
Senna was very surprised: "Mr. Delaunay, you have enough DJS-60Ds available, does this batch of DJS-59s make sense to you?"
Delaunay shook his head. “No, no, no, the 60D model can only be used for cooperative projects. In terms of speed, there is no difference between the 59 and the 60D. We have more than one software project that requires computers.”
I see. There is a saying that goes, there are no junk products, only junk prices.
When the price of DJS-59 is cheap enough, the bulky size of a second-hand refurbished one is not a problem.
"I understand, Mr. Delaunay, I will try my best to get it for you." He could only try his best. He knew with his ass that this batch of goods was in short supply, and it would be difficult to buy them all by himself.
If Gao Zhendong knew about this, he would probably sigh that the Gallic rooster had begun to "come ashore" at this time.
Delaunay, full of gratitude, returned to Delta Aircraft Company and immediately made a phone call to the United States across the ocean.
"The matter has basically been negotiated. I don't know how much I can get, but I think the amount will not be too small."
Not knowing what was said on the other end, Delaunay began to shake his head into the phone.
"No, no, no, sir, I have to first ensure that the quantity we need is met before I can provide it to you, so I can't give you a specific quantity promise now."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. We need these computers, too. We have very important work to do with them, rather than just selling them. Making money is not our first consideration."
After some debate, Delaunay gave in.
"How about this, sir? First of all, I guarantee that no matter how much we get, you will get 20%. Secondly, when our quantity is fully satisfied, the rest will be yours!"
This condition seemed to satisfy the other party, and after a few limited negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement.
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Delaunay said to himself, "Why would Citigroup buy computers from the East? They don't need them. Even if they want to dismantle them, they don't need such a large number."
But soon, he put this matter behind him. What was important was that his company could make a lot of money from it!
What he didn't know was that the Citigroup guys really bought the DJS-59 to dismantle it. As for why there were so many of them, it was because there were quite a few people and organizations who wanted to dismantle the DJS-59 to take a closer look.
