Chapter 171 Our career has just begun

December 3, 1980.∽↗

Time passes like a rolling river and never looks back. In the blink of an eye, another year passes by in a hurry.

Over the past year, on this blue planet, many major events have happened internationally and domestically that are closely related to the international situation but have nothing to do with many races.

At the end of December 1979, after many months of preparation, the Soviet Union finally couldn't help but send troops to Afghanistan and plunged into this famous imperial cemetery. Western countries such as the United States and Britain secretly applauded, and publicly criticized the Soviet invasion. At the United Nations General Assembly, they passed the resolution "Requesting the Foreign Team to withdraw immediately and unconditionally from the commanding heights of the United Nations" and began to criticize the Soviet Union from the moral high ground.

At the same time, they have stepped up their weapons support for Afghanistan through Pakistan and other countries close to Afghanistan.

Unfortunately, facing the Soviet steel torrent, the regular Afghan army was vulnerable. It took only three days to seize the capital Kabul, shattering the resistance of Amin's army. It also killed Amin, who was the president, and supported a puppet regime.

However, Amin's death did not mean the victory of the Afghan war. On the contrary, when the leaders of orthodox countries were killed and the new puppets were not recognized, countless tribal armed forces and resistance organizations emerged throughout Afghanistan, and warlords appeared one by one. With the strong aid of Western countries, they gradually emerged. For personal rights, ambitions and national liberation, they relied on the mountainous areas to launch guerrilla warfare with the Soviet army and tug-of-war.

Afghanistan, this barren land, has launched a bloody battle for ten years.

In late February, the West, who did not save Amin, was angry and imposed economic sanctions on the Soviet Union. The relationship between the Soviet Union and the West fell to freezing point.

However, the arms dealers around the world, especially those backed by the state, were smiling happily and devoted themselves to this arms feast and made a fortune.

As April begins, a large-scale anti-Chinese riots occurred in Indonesia.

In the eyes of countries around the world, the riots with a long history of anti-Chinese history are just ordinary repertoires, nothing more than another riot. But no one expected that this was a preview of the massacre incident more than ten years later.

Subsequently, a demonstration of 300,000 people in Gwangju, South Korea in mid-May attracted people's attention from Indonesia, and disappeared silently into the long river of history.

In September, the outbreak of the Iraq-Iraq War once again became the focus of everyone's attention and another source of wealth for all arms dealers.

History is so calm and stirring up waves from time to time, and then it flows down into the distance according to the established track, unstoppable.

However, although internationally, it still has been as usual, there have been slight fluctuations in China.

At the Fourth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the No. 1 Chief Executive officially served as General Secretary and became the supreme leader. The meeting determined the economic policy of opening up to the outside world for the first time. Stimulated by the Shekou Economic Export Zone model, the term "Special Economic Zone" appeared for the first time. The first batch of special economic zones passed reached five, namely: Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou, Xiamen, and Tianjin.

The senior management hopes to move the model of Shekou Economic Export Zone to the above places to create a larger export economy scale, earn foreign exchange like a military sub-district, quickly improve the national economy level, and realize the grand blueprint of four modernizations.

In their opinion, this is not complicated, just a simple copy.

The Shekou Export Special Zone, which began in late 1978 and has been in operation for nearly two years, delivered a satisfactory answer to the country.

The clothing trade in hiring Hong Kong, Western designers and Shekou Economic Zone has experienced a blowout development. Through Hong Kong channels, the scale of foreign exports reached more than 300 million US dollars that year, which not only earned valuable foreign exchange for the country, but also achieved profits and taxes of more than 20 million US dollars, which can be said to be a gain of fame and fortune.

The completion and production of the electronics industrial zone was slightly later than the clothing export zone, but the momentum of rapid progress was even more aggressive. In half a year, exports of 600 million US dollars were achieved, of which more than 100 million US dollars were earned by electronic components and electronic parts. The whole recorder and bulk parts became the exporting headquarter, up to more than 400 million US dollars, and most of them were exported to several electronics industrial parks in Hong Kong.

In fact, compared with the sharp expansion of the portable recorder market, this number is not much.

Because of Taiyu Technology's equalization strategy of interests, Europe and the United States have obtained the right to share relevant patents. Although they cannot be transferred and further authorized, they can ensure that they invest in this emerging market without any legal disputes. This of course also helps them reduce their competitors, maintain prices at a high level, and obtain excess profits.

With the joint operation of giants in various industry, portable recorders have shown a rapid development momentum, with the total market volume soaring from less than one billion US dollars to more than eight billion!

It expanded nine times in one year!

In this new market created by Taiyu Technology, all those who devote themselves to it are full of food. Not to mention the industry giants in Europe and the United States, local small and medium-sized enterprises led by Taiyu Technology are also thriving, continuously expanding the scale of factories, increasing production lines, and increasing the number of workers. The entire electronic manufacturing industry in Hong Kong alone creates a turnover of more than 2 billion. Although it is still not as good as the old capitalist countries in Europe and the United States, its development speed is also quite amazing.

Even the Hong Kong government authorities made a lot of profits in this feast, and the tax collection was full of laughter.

Because the portable recorders, arcades and toy industries are booming, and the number of employed people exceeds half of the total number of employed people, it has become the most important employment direction.

The electronics after-sales service industry related to it has also flourished.

Under the joint marginal effect, local commercial real estate, cement, steel and construction industries have benefited a lot. Commercial buildings and industrial buildings have been sold out, vacant offices have decreased rapidly, and the real estate market has further risen. Compared with 1979, it has almost doubled!

Even the stock investors and citizens who trade stocks and houses all get a share of the pie.

In addition to several companies making a lot of money, Guan Fei has received generous returns from the Science and Technology Innovation Bank, several venture capital companies and many of the projects he invested in. The dozens of factories he invested in have followed the east wind and developed rapidly from scratch. Several companies with good business momentum have begun to operate and go public. Once these companies go public, even if only one of them is approved, Guan Fei can get more than ten times the return by reducing his holdings!

And this is also the instructions he issued to Hong Kong.

Seeing the entire market so prosperous, the Japanese were also jealous. The chip factories, packaging factories and other factories they promised have been slowing down and not investing heavily. Seeing the development momentum so strong, I felt that I did not enter in time and received corresponding returns. After more than a year of waiting and watching, the senior management finally made up their minds and began to increase investment. Several factories are under construction day and night, and are expected to be completed and put into production in 8 years.

Before this, they had begun to recruit workers and conduct training.

In order to recruit a sufficient number of qualified employees, all companies generously donated money and established dozens of electronic and machinery-related educational institutions in Hong Kong in the form of joint and self-organized work. The local faculty is insufficient, and some teachers even hired from Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries, and the number of students recruited reached tens of thousands.

With such a vigorous development momentum, the sales scale of electronic components, parts and whole machines in Shekou Electronic Industrial Zone is nothing. The amount they produce is snatched by various companies in the Hong Kong Industrial Park. Some assembly plants even guard the factory gate, and one batch will be snatched out when they come out, and even the warehouse does not need to be in.

As the entire market became more intense, the Lok Mazhou Electronics Industrial Park in Guan Fei also quietly completed road construction, land preparation and other work, and began the construction of supporting facilities such as water and electricity.

This construction speed is one step slower than that of Japanese-funded enterprises that have come from behind. Although the Hong Kong government and others are a little surprised and suspect that he has other plans. However, as the overall environment becomes more and more exciting, there are only a very small number of people who can think clearly. After thinking for a moment, they are attracted by other things and forget their doubts about this.

Although the construction pace of the Lok Ma Chau Electronics Industrial Park is a little slow, the number of imports from Hong Kong has been increasing.

From early rice and other daily necessities to later clothing, cosmetics, electrical appliances and daily necessities, the total volume has continued to increase. In the past year, through the Hong Kong port, the global acquisition of scrap steel and other means of production has also risen sharply. The total volume of scrap steel purchased monthly has reached 110,000 tonnes.

These materials were transported ashore at the Hong Kong port, transported to Shenzhen via Luohu port, and then transported to Kunming via railway. They were then transported from the Yunnan-Burma Railway, which had been paved to Xiangyun, and were transported to Xiangyun County. The remaining 470 kilometers of roads were converted into road transportation, and were loaded on the train at the Menghai Port on the border, and sent back to the warehouse by the railway built by the military sub-district.

There were many twists and turns along the way, including sea transportation, land transportation, railway transportation, and land transportation. Finally, the short-distance railway line built by the military sub-district was delivered to the freight yard stack.

Especially the more than 400 kilometers of land from Xiangyun to the border, it is difficult and time-consuming, and it occupies a lot of transportation capacity.

However, before the Yunnan-Burma Railway was completed, this inefficient method could only be used to barely maintain the supply of materials.

...

"When the molten steel is out, everyone will immediately enter the safe position! Repeat it, when the molten steel is out, everyone will immediately enter the safe position!"

Above the workshop, the red light used for alarm flashed and the tweeter made a huge warning sound. Even the mechanical noise rumbling was rumbling, it could not suppress its sound.

In the workshop, all the relevant personnel had already hid in a safe area and watched silently as the circuit gate opened. The red and white-lighted steel gushed out from the steel outlet like ordinary liquid, landing in the ladle waiting below.

When the boiling steel hits the air, the surface burns violently. Some steel splashes out and touches the surrounding brackets. Mars splashes everywhere on the ground, and a ball of flames rise. On the surface of these specially made high-temperature-resistant objects, it quickly becomes dark, forming a cluster of dark marks.

The ladle is fully connected, driven by the automatic control device, and then it is sent to the top of the rotary table, then tilts and pours the red molten steel into it.

The steel is filled with the ladle turntable, and the plug rod is started immediately, introducing the molten steel into the crystallizer.

After the slag material is added, the crystallizer begins to vibrate, and electromagnetic stirring is then carried out simultaneously. At the same time, the pulling machine starts the embryo pulling operation, pulling the rapidly cooled steel into steel embryos.

At this time, the originally dazzling steel embryo was much dimmed.

After the steel embryo entered the casting guide section, a large amount of white smoke suddenly appeared from it with a hissing sound. The smoke spread quickly and quickly spread out. Then it was pumped away by the fan, showing the steel embryo in it again.

This is to prevent the steel embryo from being completely condensed and causing accidents to leak steel. The top, bottom, left and right spray heads are spraying water to cool down.

At the end of the guide section, the end electromagnetic stirrer works and secondary stirs the internal texture, achieving the purpose of uniform coagulation.

Even after being cooled by spraying water, the surface temperature of the steel embryo is still extremely high, emitting a dark red light.

After that, after flame cutting, casting the embryo, slowly cooling the area, the steel embryos were neatly cut, and the same size were transported to the cast steel part by a van.

As the rolling rollers go through multiple processes such as rough rolling and medium rolling, the steel embryos that still have dark red light are flattened bit by bit, and as the rollers are sent to each link, they become steel plates, steel strips, and steel pipes.

This arc furnace continuous casting production line has a very high degree of automation and uses a large number of automated controls in each link, greatly saving the number of workers and working physical strength.

This is not only for improving efficiency and quality, but also forcing it to be a must.

There are 1,000 factories in the military sub-district, and even if the estimated 200,000 workers are distributed equally, the number of workers in each factory is only 200. In fact, for metallurgy, casting, large-scale machining and other enterprises, which one does not have thousands or tens of thousands?

If we follow the domestic enterprise standards, 200,000 people are at best just one super-large state-owned enterprise.

It is a fantasy to rely on this little manpower to realize that all kinds of machinery, electronics, chemicals, metallurgy, power and other categories and industries have guaranteed core precision manufacturing capabilities.

To reduce manpower, large-scale adoption of automated control is the only option!

Reality forces them to improve the automation level of manufacturing as much as possible to save manpower. Moreover, the degree of automation is to the highest level, and many production links still require a large number of workers.

Just like this second alloy steel mill, the total number of workers in the venue is still as high as more than 1,500!

When the first seamless steel pipe was successfully removed from the line, Guan Fei, Zhang Shengguo, Sun Yaohua and others, who watched the entire operation process, hugged each other and couldn't help but cheer.

On this festive day, even Zhang Shengguo, who has always been dressed in Zhongshan, has put on military uniforms.

Moreover, this military uniform is no longer a pattern without a hat badge and a collar, but is inlaid with a bright red five-pointed star. A flamboyant sickle hammer mark on his shoulder proves that he is a general!

Inside and outside the workshop, countless technicians, workers and cadres all cheered loudly that shook the sky.

The magnificent song of "We Workers Are Power" has sounded from the loudspeaker in the factory. The correspondent of the factory department has already recited it with passion and emotion in the broadcast.

Inside and outside the factory, accompanied by the laughter of thousands of cadres and staff, waves of sounds sounded from time to time.

Crack!

I don’t know who it was, but I brought a bunch of firecrackers and lit them, pushing the festive atmosphere to a higher peak.

Although the formed steel castings and seamless steel pipes are still extremely hot, and everyone can only see from a distance, but everyone is smiling and excited.

Sun Yaohua hugged Guan Fei tightly and slapped his back hard. In the noise, he shouted loudly in Guan Fei's ear: "Lao Guan, we have succeeded, and the several conditions you have asked for have been met. Next, is it time to start planning?"
Chapter completed!
