"Deputy Director Li, the kind of large computer you mentioned..." She hesitated and reminded: "If you are talking about IBM-360."

"Well, it should be called System/360, right?"

Li Xuewu nodded, took out an English version of the introduction document from the drawer, and handed it to Shangguan Qi who was standing beside him.

"This is...it's really...you!"

Shangguan Qi was shocked, looked at the documents in her hand and asked in disbelief: "Are you planning to buy this kind of large computer for us?"

"What are you thinking?" Li Xuewu pulled the file from her hand, put it on the table and patted it, and said, "Do you really think I don't understand computers?"

"This thing costs $25 to $3 million," he said with a funny look: "Even if you allocate all the scientific research budgets for ten years to you is not enough."

"Don't worry, listen to me."

Li Xuewu clicked on the opposite position and signaled her to sit over and waited for her to sit down, and then said: "You should know that the factory has invested in the United Savings Bank."

"Yes, I know," Shangguan Qi was very smart. After hearing Li Xuewu talk about this, he immediately reacted, "Are you saying that the United Savings Bank wants to purchase such a large computer?"

"Well, that's right, it's what you think."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Because of the advanced management experience in the banking industry in Gangcheng, in order to establish a bank cross-bank transaction system."

His fingers were circling around the air and said, "We will entrust Oriental Times Bank in Port City to purchase an IBM-360 on their behalf."

"Really! Can you lend it to us?"

Shangguan Qi was very excited and pressed her hands on the desk, looking like she was about to stand up at any time.

However, Li Xuewu looked at her with amusedness and signed her opinion and name on the application she submitted.

"You are..."

Shangguan Qi was already confused by him. At first, she said that she was small, and then she said that she was big, but now she has criticized the small one again...

Should I give it or not?

"You can lend it to you, but not to use it independently."

Li Xuewu knocked on the document he had just signed and explained: "I just wanted to tell you that scientific research should not be restricted by funds."

"We have also seen this kind of computer, and research institutes, banks and trade management centers are also reporting on procurement needs."

He handed the signed document to Peng Xiaoli and said, "Register and wait for other units to summarize the procurement quantity before reading it together."

"Leader, if there is IBM360," Shangguan Qi reminded: "We will not have that high requirements for HP9100A."

"It's okay, you won't waste it if you buy it."

Li Xuewu said casually: "We just signed an investment supplementary agreement with Dongcheng Credit Union, and our scientific research funding is quite abundant."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After coming out of the leader's office, Shangguan Qi's head was still confused. She didn't understand the meaning of the leader's last few words.

"Secretary Peng, our scientific research funding."

She stopped and asked Peng Xiaoli, who was traveling with her, and said, "Is it provided by Dongcheng Credit Union?"

"Of course not," Peng Xiaoli said firmly and denied this.

“This is a bit complicated.”

However, after Peng Xiaoli finished speaking, he became a little vague, scratched his chin, and said, "You may not know that Dongcheng Credit Union has invested in several businesses and projects in our factory."

“Aren’t it cars and motorcycles?”

Shangguan Qi raised her eyebrows and said, "I have read relevant news introductions from the factory newspaper."

"Uh-not only, there are aircraft."

Peng Xiaoli pulled the corner of his mouth and introduced: "Dongcheng Credit Union's investment in the motorcycle industry and the car industry has received expected returns."

"So they also have absolute hope for the aircraft industry in our factory, and invest 10 million in the first and second phases."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Ah? So that's the case?"

Shangguan Qi was stunned for a moment, and then she realized why Deputy Director Li was so happy when he approved her funds.

It turns out that what I spent was not my own money!

"Well, the situation is quite complicated."

Peng Xiaoli emphasized again, saying: "The newly signed agreement also includes some technical investments, which you may not understand."

He paused and then said, "You just need to know that the research on aircraft is not short of money for the time being."

"I can see that it's not short of money."

Shangguan Qi looked back at Li Xuewu's office. She now had a sense of absurd drama.

Does Dongcheng Credit Union have absolute confidence in the aircraft project?

Where does this confidence come from?

As the person in charge of the project, even she has no absolute confidence. The money has arrived. Do you think it is absurd or not?

She is sure that Deputy Director Li doesn’t know much about aircraft design and manufacturing, but she is sure that the leader understands project management very well.

Take this time to buy IBM360 large computer as an example. It seems that it is very distressing to spend 3 million US dollars, but it cannot be used many times.

Banks, trade management centers, scientific research institutes, CNC R&D centers and other institutions all require a certain amount of computing power.

If the computing power, saved time, as well as production and design costs are converted into product profitability, I believe that in less than half a year, the three million will be earned.

It's so big!

It is difficult to make ten thousand yuan by 10,000 yuan, but it is very simple to make ten thousand yuan by 1 million yuan.

Peng Xiaoli may not understand the meaning of IBM360, but Shangguan Qi understands it.

This large computer assists the Amelika Space Administration in establishing the Apollo 11 database and completing the astronauts' plan to land on the moon.

It can establish a bank cross-bank transaction system (ATM) and the largest online ticketing system in the aviation industry.

This is the first computer in history to be compatible with the instruction set.

Production began in 1965 and sales began in 1966. Every month, it sold more than one thousand units, which shows that the world is undergoing information changes.

Shangguan Qi learned about the world's cutting-edge scientific and technological development through the scientific and technological information transmitted from the port city, and realized the current gap between domestic scientific development and the world's advanced fields.

But she also ignored that some technological innovations and developments do not follow the steps and follow objective laws to catch up.

For example, Deputy Director Li, who does not play according to common sense and often leads scientific research institutes to overtake, does not care about the existence of technical barriers at all.

If you can buy, buy it; if you can’t buy it, steal it; if you can’t steal it, cheat it; if you can’t cheat it, grab it; if you can’t win it, fight it!

Anyway, technology can be lagging behind, but thinking cannot be lagging behind.

Peng Xiaoli sent Shangguan Qi to the stairs and asked hesitantly: "That... official worker, can I ask you a question?"

Seeing Shangguan Qi look over, he asked seriously: "If the drone is really developed, is it really valuable?"

"Hmm? Why do you ask that?"

Shangguan Qi looked at him, nodded seriously, and said, "If according to Deputy Director Li's vision, the world's developed countries have developed this kind of drone first, and its value is something you and I dare not imagine."

“This value cannot be measured by money.”

She stressed: "You might think that mainframe is expensive, but I dare say the drone is far more valuable than it."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Peng Xiaoli nodded as if he understood and said, "I really don't understand this. Thank you for helping me with your doubts."

"Nothing, I have a question to ask you."

Shangguan Qi smiled calmly, looked at him and asked, "Do you know the source of confidence in Dongcheng Credit Union investing in the aircraft industry?"

"That is, how did they determine the reason why our factory's aircraft project will definitely be successful."

She wanted to know this project that even she had no confidence, and how the investment unit had absolute confidence.

"Uh--this--"

Peng Xiaoli looked at her with a strange expression, hesitated for a moment, and still explained in a low voice: "The motorcycle industry has made money."

"It's because of this?"

Shangguan Qi looked at him in surprise, with a look of surprise on his face.

She thought about Deputy Director Li and other research forces, and when the investment unit had core information, she didn't expect...

The reason for this is too simple!

If you make money by investing in the motorcycle industry, you dare to invest in cars. If the car is about to make money, you invest in aircraft?

Then she knew that if she didn't know if she should think so, the aircraft also made money. Would they want to invest in trouble?

It's time to go to heaven-
