Chapter 824: The Gauls Who Know How to Do Business
"Should we consider exporting some digital signal processors and math coprocessors? Or, can we consider exporting some lower-level digital signal processing boards?" Some comrades had more divergent thinking.

"No, let alone these processors, even the lower-level processing boards cannot be exported. Moreover, the lower-level processing boards are absolutely not allowed to be exported. On the contrary, we can consider the higher-level processors after a few years." Without waiting for other leaders to speak, Gao Zhendong flatly refused. Why do you think I didn't put these things on the booth of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building?

This is an advanced operation that can be considered, but a low-level one that cannot be exported, as no one can do it.

"Comrade Zhendong, did you say it the wrong way?" Even the leaders of the Defense Work Committee didn't understand this.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Gao Zhendong explained, "Whether it's a digital signal processor or a processing board, the important point is whether there is one or not. For the North, in the most important application direction of these devices, whether it's big or small is not the core issue. The core issue is the technical thinking, which is more important than size."

Compared with the Russians' radar backend, even the digital signal processing board can be described as small and exquisite, pocket-sized and cute. It is this digital signal processing board that, as long as it leaks out, it will only be a matter of time before the Russians master the relevant technology.

Gao Zhendong never underestimates the mathematical ability of the Russians.

Even if they get the hang of this, they can use digital logic chips as a basis and their powerful mathematical and integration capabilities to play with digital signal processing boards. Although not as advanced as digital signal processing chips, it is not a big problem for vehicles such as radars and aircraft. The main issue is the acquisition of functions and the improvement of capabilities. As for being heavier or bigger, when have the Russians ever cared about this?

Speaking of the ability to create a masterpiece out of a pile of garbage, we have to mention the famous flying stainless steel again. In Gao Zhendong's previous life, he always saw people saying "I took it apart and saw this?", but these people were always covering up a fact intentionally or unintentionally.

That is, no matter what the Russians used, they successfully built a large high-altitude, high-speed interceptor with double 2.5 or even barely reaching double 3, achieving their goal. Even if there is a piece of shit flying in the sky, it is a piece of shit flying high and fast with long-range radar and large air-to-air missiles. Ask the Citigroup guys what it feels like to face it.

The Russian Air Force, which obtained powerful radar in advance, has capabilities that exceed the need to contain Europe, and it poses a serious threat to us.

Therefore, in Gao Zhendong's opinion, it would be better for the Russians to slow down their radar technology. When a comrade raised this possibility, he did not wait for other leaders to express their opinions, but directly rejected it, leaving no room for any changes.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee glanced at Gao Zhendong and silently took note in his heart, "Okay, I understand. Technologies related to digital signal processing cannot be exported."

With Gao Zhendong's final decision, this matter was skipped over.

The Foreign Trade Department held up some papers and smiled, "Unlike our comrades in the north, the Gauls want to be agents for our business."

Hmm? The Gauls are really flexible, even thinking like this?

"They want to be our agent for the computer-related equipment business in the Oceania Convention camp, including DJS-60D, peripherals, digital circuit chips that we allow for export, etc., especially the latest floppy disk drives. They are very interested." The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade introduced while looking at the papers.

"Hey, they have good taste."

"Weren't they secretly selling DJS-59 and other things to Citigroup and John Bull?"

“John Bull has its own channels, they are mainly Citi and some Oceania Pact countries.”

"You also said that it was sold secretly and everyone turned a blind eye to it. Now they want formal authorization and agency."

"It doesn't seem impossible. After all, our arms can't reach that far."

"Can consider it."

"..."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee thought about it and expressed his attitude: "It's not impossible to do this, but pay attention to the scope of control. We have no objection."

In this kind of situation, they are the first to express their opinions, otherwise other comrades cannot discuss further. "We also think it is okay. Instead of letting them buy secretly, it is better to put it on the table and sell it openly. It will be better to control the direction of the materials, and at the same time we can get some foreign exchange income." The Foreign Trade Department also has this attitude. For them, small amounts of money are really sweet. Without foreign exchange income, how can we import the things we need?

"How about giving them the microcontroller as well?" The 12th Ministry of Machine Building thought it would be better to be generous.

"What do you think, Comrade Zhendong?" The comrade from the foreign affairs department turned his attention to Gao Zhendong. Comrade Zhendong had a lot to say in this regard.

Gao Zhendong thought about it and agreed in general: "In principle, there is no problem. We can give them the microcontroller, but they need to cooperate with us to complete a few things."

"What's the matter? Tell us so that we can communicate with them." The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade was delighted to hear this. This was a possibility. Whether this matter could be done depended on the attitude of the National Defense Working Committee, and the attitude of the National Defense Working Committee was closely related to Gao Zhendong's attitude.

"They have to cooperate with us to complete the intellectual property protection in the other camp! Part of our intellectual property protection is completed through peripheral organizations in Hong Kong Island, but peripheral organizations cannot take over all the work. Eggs cannot be put in one basket. At the same time, in this way, the ownership of the technology is still theoretically the peripheral organization. Ordinary technology can do this, but better technology cannot. Not all technologies are suitable for this, so we have to use the Gauls to complete this task."

Intellectual property protection through Zhenxing Electric is fine for tapes, LCDs, and even disks, but if you go higher up, Zhenxing Electric is not suitable, and John Bull is not a good guy either. Although the intellectual property rights of Zhenxing Electric have been transferred to Zhenxing Electronics in Aocheng, it is better not to give them the opportunity to be greedy.

And some things are not suitable to be handed over to the Zhenxing Electric Corporation.

In contrast, it is necessary to accomplish this task in the Western camp with one's own official background.

The Gauls are an old revolutionary base, and at the same time they are flexible and have difficulty dealing with the American people and John Bull. At this stage, they are the most suitable springboard for this matter.

"Can you be more specific?" The Ministry of Foreign Trade was very interested in this matter.

"Through a commercial agreement, we register an institution in the other party's territory, and then use this institution to complete this task, relying on the intellectual property protection system that they and the other camp have already built to protect our intellectual property." Gao Zhendong couldn't say for sure about the details, but he still had some ideas about the general direction.

"This is a good idea! Borrowing chickens to lay eggs! Using their system to protect our things is interesting and very feasible!" The comrades in the foreign affairs department understood this aspect and praised Gao Zhendong's idea. Although the other party huddled together, there were still cracks in the shell.

"Well... it's feasible. We will have a good discussion with our colleagues from the Bureau of Standards and Regulations on this matter, and then work together to have a detailed discussion with the Gauls. This is also related to the interests of their sales agents. I think they will cooperate with the work. It's just a matter of price, which is easy to discuss." The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade also thought that this was a good thing. Otherwise, if it was sold today, it would be imitated tomorrow.

"Even if we receive orders for related products, we will slow down the production speed and ensure delivery after these tasks are completed. In this regard, we also hope that the Ministry of Foreign Trade will give full consideration to the delivery period when signing relevant agreements." The 12th Ministry of Machine Building wanted to be more specific.

The meeting continued, and in addition to these most important matters, the final general decision was that the relevant ministries and commissions that had received an explosion of orders on the first day were given an increased quota to cope with possible orders in the future. Although there was an explosion of orders on the first day and there would be fewer orders later, less did not mean nothing.

The next day, quite a number of guests who had come the day before came again. Many of them had gone to grab quotas, take photos, read materials, and protest. There was not enough time to see everything. They simply could not finish.

So they entered the exhibition hall again with ease and continued the route they had not completed yesterday.

"My dear Mr. Dawali, you must take a look at this exhibition. It is very interesting and you will definitely gain a lot from it." An old Russian took his colleague who went to climb the Great Wall yesterday and strongly recommended it to him.

When passing by the entrance of the exhibition hall, I reminded him: "Don't forget to take your ticket to the reception desk to exchange it for a small gift, so you don't have to think about the electronic watch on my hand."

It seems that everyone likes new things. The old Russian who just arrived today hurried to the reception desk to exchange his gift. Similar situations are very common at the reception desk. There are a lot of people around, all of whom were doing other things yesterday and just came today.

In the exhibition hall, there is an exhibition area that looks very boring. The exhibits inside are pieces of metal, materials, plates, profiles, etc. Even though some of these metals are shining silver, they are placed in glass cabinets in small lumps with performance tables next to them, and they still look very inconspicuous.

This is the booth of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building. What they can put here are mainly these metals and materials. As for the production processes and equipment such as ESR, AOD, single crystal furnace, and mercury cadmium telluride recrystallization furnace, they are not here and are not for sale.
