Chapter 220: Set sail first, you can only eat dust behind you [Request full order]

Qiu Bojun did not hesitate, nodded with a smile, and said: "If we can meet our own needs, then we can export, there is no problem with that."

Today, Longguo is exporting avionics systems to Daxiong, and Longguo's avionics systems are currently being integrated and installed on Daxiong's aircraft.

At present, the Big Bear aircraft equipped with Longguo avionics system have been put into use.

The pilots at Big Bear were full of praise for it.

Qiu Bojun heard from Wang Haoran that all civilian products can be exported.

Even if it is exported to Daxiong, it will be difficult for them to reverse engineer it.

This is because they are unable to manufacture a large number of advanced chips themselves.

If there is excess production capacity for engines used in civil airliners that can be exported, that would also be a good choice.

By doing business with the big bear, you can avoid the US dollar.

The trade contracts previously signed between Longguo and Daxiong were basically based on a barter model.

What Longguo needs are Daxiong's various minerals, oil and natural gas.

Of course, there are also some agricultural and sideline products.

In fact, the agricultural development in Big Bear is not very good nowadays.

Longguo wants Daxiong’s strategic bomber, but the other party won’t give it to it.

Overall, Longguo doesn’t need too many of Daxiong’s products right now.

Big Bear’s advanced fighter jets and warships will not be given to Dragon Country.

Then they can only export mineral and energy products to Longguo at low prices.

Currently, international oil prices are low, and importing energy from Daxiong is still a very good choice.

Now, the two sides are even discussing the construction of an oil pipeline.

But it hasn't been finalized yet.

After all, Big Bear still has doubts about the dragon.

Petrov was a little surprised. He didn't expect Qiu Bojun would agree so readily.

The key point is, can this baby-faced man make the decision?

"Do you think Comrade Wang Haoran will agree?" Petrov asked.

Qiu Bojun nodded: "He will agree."

"Because he has always regarded Big Bear as a brother!"

These words made Petrov feel a little ashamed.

"I will definitely visit Comrade Haoran again some other day."

"His support for us Big Bears has been tremendous. We are all very grateful to him."

Qiu Bojun smiled and said, "Comrade Haoran will welcome you very much."

"He often said that you are a good friend of the people of Dragon Country."

Petrov nodded: "I have also been committed to promoting the deep friendship between our brothers."

"It would be even better if your country's leaders would bring Comrade Haoran with them on their upcoming visit!"

Just like that, the two sides talked all the way, and just over an hour later, the plane arrived at the Magic City International Airport.

After both parties got off the plane, they said goodbye.

Petrov left the airport in a car from the consulate in Shanghai.

He was in a very complicated mood and thought a lot along the way.

Through this ride on the Starship passenger plane, he has confirmed one thing: the technological level of Dragon Country's domestically produced large passenger aircraft has surpassed that of Big Bear in all aspects!

If Daxiong wants to improve his country's large passenger aircraft, he can only choose to cooperate with Longguo.

And this is a very embarrassing thing.

The aerospace industry has always been an area that Big Bear is proud of!
The fighter jets they built have always been targeted at Yusa.

Their advanced fighter jets still stand at the top of the world.

However, the field of passenger aircraft is really lagging behind, and has fallen behind too much.

When he arrived at the consulate in Shanghai, Petrov called Osterlund.

Petrov reported to Osterlund some of his specific feelings about riding the Starship.

In fact, many people have experienced this before.

Petrov's experience was exactly the same as everyone else's.

After listening to this, Osterlund said, "It's really strange. Why did their large passenger aircraft manufacturing technology suddenly become so good?"

“Comrade Osterlund,” said Petrov, “everything was driven by genius.”

"Wang Haoran is so amazing."

"However, the comrades of Dragon Country still have sincere feelings towards our Big Bear."

"They are willing to provide us with the most advanced engines for the Starship airliner."

"They are even willing to help us improve our Il-62 or other passenger aircraft to make them more advanced and fuel-efficient."

Daxiong currently has a variety of civil airliner models.

Like the Tu series, the Il series, etc.

The Il series is obviously more advanced.

The Tu series was gradually phased out and the Il series became the mainstream.

The biggest flaw of the Il series is that the fuel consumption is too high, the recent adjustment methods are not advanced enough, their air system is not even good enough, and the noise is very high, and the riding experience is very poor.

This is also the main reason why after the 80s, Daxiong began to accelerate the import of Boeing aircraft.

However, Big Bear's passenger plane also has its advantages.

Its biggest advantage is its low price.

Can you imagine that an Il-62 only sells for $25?

"As long as they sell us the engine," Ostlund said.

"We desperately need better engines right now."

"Comrade Petrov, go talk to Wang Haoran and see if you can reach an agreement with him on the export of Starship passenger aircraft engines."

Petrov agreed.

The next day, Petrov returned to the capital.

He was still on the Starship airliner.

After returning to the capital, Petrov contacted Wang Haoran, hoping to have a face-to-face talk with Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran had already heard Petrov's thoughts from Qiu Bojun.

He agreed immediately.

That afternoon, Petrov went to meet with Wang Haoran.

He talked about hoping to buy the latest model of engine for the Starship airliner.

Wang Haoran said to him: "It is no problem to provide the latest engine. We can also provide system integration services."

"We also hope to help you build your new plane as soon as possible."

"Of course, this will require you to provide some expenses."

Petrov was overjoyed. Since Wang Haoran agreed, then the matter should be considered a real success, right?

He hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Comrade Haoran."

Wang Haoran waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."

"We, the comrades of Dragon Country, hope to work together with our comrades of Big Bear. We hope that we can create a new earth order that is truly fair, just, reasonable, and equal for all."

Just like that, Wang Haoran signed an agreement with Petrov to export aircraft engines to Daxiong. The agreement stipulated that after the signing of the agreement, at least 10 Starship passenger aircraft-specific engines would be provided to Daxiong within half a year.

In fact, Petrov hoped to obtain technology transfer for the Starship passenger aircraft engine.

But Wang Haoran declined.

Wang Haoran told Petrov that it was not impossible to transfer the technology.

However, that would require Big Bear to exchange his technology.

For example: the technology of the Big Bear strategic bomber.

But Petrov knew as soon as he heard it that this was impossible.

Strategic bombers are the country's most important weapon, the most valuable asset in the country.

There is no possibility of exporting that thing, let alone transferring technology.

After Petrov signed the agreement, he told Wang Haoran another thing: "Comrade Haoran, I heard that you have developed a new mobile communication technology. I wonder if I can experience it."

Now, under the promotion of Wang Haoran, mass production of 2G mobile communication equipment has been put on the agenda.

At the same time, several large factories were built in the capital.

Of course, large-scale communications equipment production factories were also built in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta in the south.

Wang Haoran wants to make efforts across the country at the same time and build a mobile communication network in the country within one year.

In this way, people all over the country can start using mobile phones at the same time.

Mobile communications will be a core of the third industrial revolution.

If Longguo can control this big industry, it will be of great help for Longguo to overtake others in a short period of time.

When Wang Haoran heard Petrov talking about mobile communications, he knew that this mobile communications revolution must have spread throughout the world.

Now, the entire lizard nation is worried about it.

Over the past 100 years, Lizard China has always been at the forefront of technological development. Almost all important inventions and technological advances in modern times were led by Lizard China.

Now, the people of Long Country have taken the lead in developing 2G communication technology.

It would be strange if the Lizardmen were not anxious.

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Of course."

"In fact, there is already a mobile communication network in our industrial park."

Accompanied by Wang Haoran, Petrov tried making a mobile phone call.

After the experience, he was shocked.

Because mobile communication is so convenient and easy to use, right?

First of all, mobile phones can make and receive calls at any time, which speeds up the flow of information.

Secondly, mobile phones can actually send short messages? This way of communication is unprecedented, very novel and very effective.

After the experience, Petrov said, "Comrade Haoran, I heard that you have signed a cooperation agreement with Motorola?"

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Yes."

Petrov said: "Can we also cooperate in that form?"

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Of course, we can help you with OEM production and help you build a mobile communication network in your country. This is not a problem at all!"

Petrov was overjoyed: "Thank you, Comrade Haoran!"

"I wonder if you can build a factory in our country to produce related equipment?"

"We can offer you very favorable terms."

Petrov has started to attract investment.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "I'm afraid it won't work in the short term."

“But after one or two years, I think there will be no problem.”

"Comrade Petrov, please pay attention to the situation in our Dragon Country. We are planning to start building mobile communication networks in major cities immediately."

“Once we build it, I believe the effect of communication will be fully demonstrated.”

Petrov nodded and said, "When the time comes, I will definitely go through the network registration procedures as soon as possible and become one of the first customers."

After Petrov signed a cooperation agreement with Wang Haoran, he flew back to their country the next day.

Petrov went to see Osterlund first.

He told Ostlund in detail the specific circumstances of his conversation with Wang Haoran.

Ostlund nodded and said, "That's pretty good."

"In the past few years, it was Dragon Country that reverse-engineered and copied us. Now, it will probably be our turn to copy them."

"As long as we can buy a few of their engines and conduct in-depth research, I believe we can definitely copy them!"

"There is an old saying in Long Country: Ten years in the east, ten years in the west. In the past, we were the teacher and they were the student."

"Now, they are the teachers and we are going to become the students."

"They are very qualified students, we can't lose face!"

Osterlund's mentality had completely changed at this time.

He has already admitted that Longguo is ahead of Daxiong in quite a few areas.

Moreover, Osterlund thought that Long being ahead of him was much better than Yusa being ahead of him.

Because Yusa has always been doing things with a zero-sum game mentality, that is, either you die or I die.

Jusa's blockade of the Great Bear was outrageous and very successful.

Now, with Long’s breakthrough, Daxiong finally has a place to import many of its advanced equipment and products.

They no longer have to sneak around to buy Lizard's advanced technology products from various underground channels.

As a result, Daxiong has made considerable progress in many military fields.

After Osterlund finished talking with Petrov, he went to see the Emperor again.

He reported the relevant work to Emperor Xun.

Emperor Xun nodded and said, "Very good. It is also a good choice to import their aircraft engines from Longguo first."

"I hope our science and technology workers will also work hard!"

"I really can't accept that they are ahead of us in the aviation industry."

"We must also hurry up and improve our large passenger aircraft. We can still accept falling behind Yusa, but we absolutely cannot fall behind Longguo."

"Comrade Osterlund, how is our reform going now?"

Ostlund smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The resistance is still quite large."

"We have too many vested interests who don't want any change."

"And my authority is not enough."

Emperor Xun said impatiently: "These bastards! These parasites!"

“What on earth are they thinking?”

"It seems that we must take some strong measures!"

Osterlund said: "Comrade Longguo said that it is normal to have great resistance. As long as we move forward step by step, first push forward the matters that everyone agrees on, make improvements little by little, and eventually complete the reform in ten years."

"I hope to get your authorization."

Emperor Xun said, “I will.”

……

By August 1982, in addition to opening most domestic routes, Starship Airlines also began to gradually open some international routes.

Priority is given to opening routes to several countries on the other side of the desert.

This gives upper-class members of countries like Camel more opportunities to experience the excellent experience of the Starship airliner.

This also prompted these countries to successively sign agreements to purchase Starship passenger aircraft.

The entire month of August saw a huge explosion in Starship passenger aircraft orders.

It has signed more than 400 passenger aircraft in total.

Each one costs $500 million.

This allowed the Magic City Aircraft Manufacturing Plant to become profitable.

Wang Haoran no longer pays attention to issues such as the subsequent technical research and development of domestically-produced large passenger aircraft.

After all, the road has been paved.

Subsequent development will be promoted by our own technical personnel.

Starting from August, mobile communication networks began to be rolled out in 8 major cities in Longguo.

Because the preliminary preparations were very thorough, the construction speed was quite fast.

In just over two months, mobile communication networks in 50 major cities have been initially built.

While the mobile network was being built, mobile phone network access services began in full swing.

Each mobile phone costs between 300 and 800 yuan, with calls costing 1 cent per minute and text messages costing 1 cent per minute.

In today's Longguo, the income of ordinary people has been growing rapidly, especially in big cities. The average person's monthly salary has risen to more than 500 yuan, and those who earn more can earn tens of thousands of yuan per month.

The income gap began to widen rapidly.

There are already millions of self-employed individuals and small business owners across the country who have become rich first.

This number is still not small.

After the launch of mobile phones, there was an endless stream of people applying for network access, especially self-employed individuals and small business owners who rushed to try out the new technology.

After experiencing the convenience of mobile phones, they were full of praise and started buying mobile phones for their families for easier communication.

This was the first mobile phone network built worldwide.

Nowadays, even the most advanced Western countries like Judea only use pagers.

Motorola's senior executive Joey happened to be in the Magic City of Dragon Country at this time.

A paging station is being planned to be built in Shanghai, and Motorola has been working hard to get the business.

The head of the postal and telecommunications department in Shanghai is Qian Guangjun.

Three months in advance, Qian Guangjun actually already knew that a mobile communications network was being planned in China.

But Shanghai believes that the mobile phone network and the paging network may not conflict.

Therefore, while planning to build a mobile phone network, the construction of a paging network is also being promoted.

However, the two sides had serious differences over the price of the equipment.

Motorola's price is very high, even more expensive than the construction of a mobile communication network.

Moreover, pagers are very expensive, costing at least two thousand yuan each.

If the price is so high, then very few people will be able to afford it.

Motorola hopes to ship a large batch of products to boost its performance that year.

Joey himself believed that although the negotiations were difficult, the Shanghai Post and Telecommunications Company would definitely accept his terms in the end, because he felt that Motorola was a unique business!
By the end of July, Joey already felt something was wrong.

Mobile communication base stations are being built rapidly in Shanghai.

He also got some accurate information: around August 8, Longguo will start processing mobile users for network access.

Joey also found out the price of mobile phones in Longguo, which is only 300 to 800 yuan?
The charges are not expensive, making and receiving calls are 0.1 cent each, and text messages are also 0.1 cent each.

Joey panicked: If this is true, then no one would use the pager anymore! (End of this chapter)
