Chapter 534: A Friend Who Must Be Kept
Listening to Lao Ding's chatter, Chen Geng sighed: "Brother Ding, I understand what you mean, Cheng, for the sake of our friendship, you can say it." ”
What else could you do?
Ding Haijun was overjoyed.
What he was waiting for was for Chen Geng to give him a chance to explain.
I don't know if I don't know, after knowing that there are still people in China who criticize Chen Geng's news and learning about the situation from friends in China, Ding Haijun's scalp exploded: If it was just a few city-level newspapers criticizing Chen Geng, Chen Geng might just laugh it off, but the media criticizing Chen Geng actually had two major national newspapers!
Although these two big newspapers criticizing Chen Geng are not official media, they are still the same sentence, which one of the Chinese media industries in this era is not state-owned?
In this case, Chen Geng really has nothing to say about his resentment in the country.
"Mr. Chen," this time, he did not use the title of Xiao Chen or brother, but used the title of "Mr. Chen", which seemed very solemn, and his tone was also very solemn: "I know that this incident makes you very angry, but please believe that the attitude of individual media and individual authors does not represent the attitude of the country, and for you, the country has always firmly believed that you are a member of the Chinese people and a good friend of the Chinese people."
After this incident, the leaders attached great importance to it, quickly organized an investigation team, investigated the relevant units and relevant responsible persons, and made corresponding punishments. Just yesterday, the chief personally called me and repeatedly told me to explain it to you......"
No wonder Huaxia attaches so much importance to it, in just a few months, the sales of thinkcenter have exceeded 700,000 units, according to the current trend of development, even if the most conservative algorithm of selling 150,000 units per month is calculated, Chen Geng's thinkcenter computer can sell at least more than 1.8 million units a year!
This is still the most conservative algorithm, and with a little optimism, it will be easy to sell more than 2 million units a year.
2 million thinkcenters, that's 2 million CRTs, even half of them...... Even if only one-third or even 20 percent of the CRTs are purchased from China, how much foreign exchange reserves can be created for the country in this year?
This is just a picture tube, according to Chen Geng's previous statement, if you count the chassis, power supply, keyboard, capacitor, resistor, diode, transistor and other electronic components, and even the internal connection wires and buttons during the period?
In a year, the foreign exchange reserves that can be created for the country have properly exceeded 100 million!
When Chen Geng came to China to discuss cooperation with the State Administration of Radio and Television Industry, the State Administration of Electronics and Computer Industry, and the Fourth Machinery Department, everyone listened to them, but in the face of the big pie drawn by Chen Geng, they always muttered in their hearts: Impossible, right? How could it be possible to sell so many units in a year? Although the United States is indeed technologically advanced, even so, Americans can buy so many computers? They can't use computers for food, right?
But now it seems that Americans really plan to eat personal computers.
It was also at this time that everyone remembered what Chen Geng said: "Since 1981, when our thinkcenter was listed, the world will enter the era of personal computer explosion and popularization, and the speed of this explosion and popularization is explosive, I expect that in three years, the United States will be able to digest more than 5 million personal computers every year, and five years later, the size of the personal computer market in the United States will reach 10 million units!"
Before that, everyone listened to it, but they all thought that Chen Geng was bragging: 5 million units, 10 million units, what are so many computers used for? You can't equip all the boilers that burn the fire with computers, right?
But when the development of the situation is indeed as Chen Geng expected, and one step is not bad, everyone can no longer be calm, not to mention how much foreign exchange reserves will be given to the country if we can grasp such a large emerging market, let's just say what Chen Geng said before, will the future of computer technology, as Chen Geng said, be computer technology and network technology development together?
When the development of the actual situation proves that Chen Geng is correct, everything Chen Geng said before has become a golden rule, then the question is, can Huaxia lose such a friend as Chen Geng?
Obviously, no!
In order to keep Chen Geng's friend, let alone just clean up a few guys who talk nonsense regardless of the overall situation, it doesn't matter if the price is dozens or hundreds of times bigger.
Chen Geng naturally didn't know all this that was happening in China, and he didn't know that in the matter of treating himself, the thinking of the domestic high-level had been so highly unified.
Facing the hot face of the king's own old comrade Ding, he sighed: "Brother Ding, I'll tell you the truth, this incident really makes me very cold, if this matter is indeed my fault, then I have nothing to say, but I read the faxes of some domestic newspapers, they are silent about the treatment that the AMC workers are enjoying now, the reasons for the strike and the conditions proposed by the workers, but they criticize me for refusing to agree to the workers' wage increase, I don't know where the ass is crooked, what do you make me think?"
"Yes, yes," Ding Haijun nodded again and again, although this was almost equivalent to being scolded by Chen Geng, but what could he do?: "The position of some comrades is indeed problematic......
As Ding Haijun was talking, Kelly Hicks walked quickly to Chen Geng's side and whispered to Chen Geng: "Sir, Mr. Mark from the White House is here, look?"
Ding Haijun, who was halfway through speaking, immediately pricked up his ears, and at the same time, his mind spun rapidly: Hmm? What? Someone from the White House has come? Someone from the White House has come to find Chen Geng? And listening to the meaning of Chen Geng's words as a new female assistant, it seems that the White House has already made an appointment with Chen Geng?
Comrade Lao Ding's heart is full of alarm bells!
"So fast?" Chen Geng was a little surprised, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied: "So much in advance...... I've got a guest here, forget it, Kelly, you take Mr. Mark to rest for a while, and I'll be there later. ”
"Okay. Kelly Hicks answered and walked out quickly.
Kelly Hicks went out, but Lao Ding looked at Chen Geng dumbfounded, wanting to ask but embarrassed to ask.
Lao Ding was embarrassed to speak, but Chen Geng, shrugged his shoulders, and gave him a reception: "This Mr. Mark is the deputy director of the White House General Office, and he sent me an invitation." ”
"Invitations?"
"Yes, isn't the New Year's dinner at the White House about to begin, alas...... At the end of the year, it's impossible to take a good rest......"
Chen Geng said it easily, but Lao Ding's heart was turbulent.
