Spring Breeze 1991

Mengwei has ambitions.

Yao Yuan knew this in his previous life, and he also knows it in this life. The difference is that Mengwei's ambition is for the country and the nation, while Liu Meixiang bought the country's assets to realize the growth of personal interests.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

With Yao Yuan as a strong backing, Meng Weiguo completely let himself go. He seized the opportunity of the disintegration of the Soviet Union and first established a research and development center in Novosibirsk, recruiting a large number of former Soviet scientists and engineers who lost their livelihoods due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Siberian universities have established partnerships.

This alone cost tens of millions of dollars.

The various costs here in Europe are several grades higher than those in Novosibirsk. This time, more than 1 people will be recruited, plus the funds for the construction of the European R&D center, 2 million US dollars is actually not too much , Meng Weiguo has done solid work.

Among other things, just determining the list of more than 1 people will consume a lot of energy.

Meng Weiguo still had to keep an eye on domestic business, which was why he rushed over from Finland non-stop after learning that Yao Yuan had arrived in Baku.

The next day, Yao Yuan and Meng Weiguo met, and they were the first to give an answer.

Meng Weiguo was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Yao, I can assure you that in terms of mobile communications, if you give me ten years, Weihua will definitely be able to catch up with the standards of Western countries. After ten years, Weihua will definitely be able to Launch its own second-generation communication technology."

Yao Yuan knew that this was a very conservative goal.

Currently it is the first generation communication technology market, that is 1g, the second generation communication technology (2g) has been put into use, which is the advanced communication technology in western countries.In contrast, China is still in the groping stage of 1G communication technology, and only the mobile phones that have just appeared in the domestic market use 1G technology.

Looking at it now, Mengwei's promise to have its own second-generation communication technology in ten years seems to be a sign of bragging.But Yao Yuan knew that by that time, many western countries had already started to use third-generation communication technology, so this goal was not high.

The popularization from 1G to 2G took more than ten years, and the popularization from 2G to 3G took less than ten years. This is the development history of foreign countries.

The problem is that at home, this process is greatly shortened. It took only eight years from 1g to 2g, five years from 2g to 3g, and less than three years from 3g to 4g.At this time, foreign countries are still using 3G technology, and the popularization of 4G technology is estimated to take until 2030.

It took half a century for foreign countries to complete the upgrade, and China only took more than ten years. When it comes to the fifth-generation communication technology, that is, 5g technology, since 2018, China has become the only one in the world. The only country with technical standards!

This is the fundamental reason why Yao Yuan did not hesitate to use his "private money" to invest heavily in Hua Company.

He smiled and said to Meng Weiguo, "Old Meng, I hope to use my own communication technology and self-made mobile phone as soon as possible, the small and exquisite one, instead of a big brick phone."

Meng Weiguo nodded solemnly, "Skyworth and Motorola have a cooperative relationship. Ye Minfeng and Mr. Ye approached me. They signed a technical cooperation agreement with Motorola and wanted to sign a cooperation agreement with Weihua. We provide basic communication facilities and they are in charge of terminals. Mr. Yao, maybe you will be able to get your own mobile phone by the end of this year."

"very good."

Yao Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Old Meng, I support you, but I also want to remind you that you can't become fat if you eat one bite, technology research and development has its own rules, and you should be very clear about how many technicians to recruit. Not the most important issue, of course, the more the better, but if you can’t make full use of them, for example, if you recruit a team, but you don’t use them well, this deviates from our original goal.”

Meng Weiguo is a smart person, and he understood that Yao Yuan was obscenely reminding him that recruiting personnel is only the first step, and what is more important is to quickly and fully utilize these scientific research capabilities.

He nodded solemnly, and said, "Mr. Yao, I'll watch it personally. The scientific research plan has been formulated, with the focus on communication technology. According to your request, the other focus is on the research of integrated circuits. Don't worry, for Hua Company and The Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences has been determined, and the two directions are advancing simultaneously."

The name integrated circuit is relatively unfamiliar, but its other name is widely known-chip.

Knowing that after 2000, he will enter the era of intelligence, Yao Yuan certainly cannot give up the research of integrated circuit technology, and in terms of automotive integrated circuits, the Institute of Electronics led by Sergey has already gained a lot.

The first mass-produced model produced by Xiangfang Machinery Factory is a heavy-duty three-wheeled cargo motorcycle, which uses a very novel but not very attractive new technology, that is, electronic ignition.

This technology was developed by Sergey, but the principle is not simple.He actually used an integrated circuit for control, which is the prototype of the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences chip.

To put it simply, using integrated circuit control, functions such as automatic headlights can also be realized.

After Meng Weiguo reported other work to Yao Yuan, he rushed to Finland without stopping.He is talking about an acquisition project, the acquisition of a small Finnish company whose technology is in line with the development direction of Huawei.Meng Weiguo wanted to buy even the people and the company, and the funding gap was relatively large.

That's why he hurried to Baku to report to Yao Yuan.

With more and more assets and more and more industries, Yao Yuan basically can't manage many things in a very specific way like before. He just needs to keep the direction.

But what he didn't know was that Meng Weiguo didn't use all the 2 million US dollars to establish a European R&D center, but used tens of millions of US dollars to acquire various small companies and small businesses.So much so that what happened later was beyond Yao Yuan's expectation.

In the afternoon, Ovic, the director of the President's Office, came to invite Yao Yuan.

As usual, Yao Yuan took Lin Wei, Lin Xiaohu, Jiang Yong, Chen Chao and others to go.However, after entering the presidential palace, the others were left by Ović in the lounge where the servants stayed, and only Yao Yuan was allowed to enter by himself.

Yao Yuan said to the dignified people, "Just drink tea here and wait for a while."

Aovich took Yao Yuan in.

Lin Wei felt the difference in the atmosphere, and said in a low voice, "I used to come here to meet Aliyev together, but this time we are detained here, there must be some kind of moth, Xiaohu, do you have a gun?"

Lin Xiaohu rolled his eyes and said, "I brought it, it's in the car."

"Why don't you bring it with you?" Lin Wei said subconsciously, and only after he said it did he realize that what he said was nonsense, because it is impossible for you to bring a gun in, and then look at the guards at the exit not far away, prowlers with live ammunition, and then Getting entangled with guns would be silly.

Jiang Yong didn't say a word, his mind was always thinking quickly, what should be done to rescue Yao Yuan if something happened to Yao Yuan.This is his duty.It is meaningless to blame Yao Yuan for not having a sense of crisis, and it is also meaningless to question the previous security measures.

Because it was Aliyev, the president of a country, who summoned Yao Yuan at this time, not anyone else.

Lin Xiaohu and the others were extremely anxious, surrounded by guards with live ammunition, and they didn't know what was going on at Yao Yuan's side, so they could only worry secretly, while constantly thinking about countermeasures.

But Yao Yuan has another appearance.

Aliyev met Yao Yuan in a brand new study, and unexpectedly, his first sentence was to introduce the study.

"Vassily, look at this study room, mahogany desk, mahogany bookshelf, behind the desk and in front of the bookshelf, our national flag of Azerbaijan. The layout of the office of your country's leaders is also like this."

Aliyev smiled and motioned Yao Yuan to go to the meeting place, pointed to the coffee table and said, "Mahogany coffee table, look at this coffee table, this is the tea tray, this is the tea set, and this is... huh, let's put it this way, According to what you said before, I had someone arrange this study according to the style of your country's leader's office. These mahogany furniture are all imported from China. "

Yao Yuan smiled and nodded. If it wasn't for Aliyev's face, this study would be exactly the same as the office of the domestic leader, but Aliyev didn't know that such an office could be owned by any leader of a state-owned enterprise. The area of ​​Aliyev's study is much larger.

He knew why Aliyev did this, and why he took so much trouble to introduce so much, so he sat down and lit a cigarette, and said, "Mr. Aliyevitch, I don't think we need to beat around the bush, you know who I am."

Aliyevich is Aliyev's nickname. Since he became president, no one has dared to promise him that, except his elders and peers in his family and some elders.

Aliyev smiled and sat down, making tea with unskilled movements. It could be seen that he had studied hard for a while, but his movements still seemed a little stiff.

He said, "Vassily, you are my best friend."

Vasily was the name Aliyev gave Yao Yuan. Aliyev used this name when he wanted to issue a passport to Yao Yuan, but Yao Yuan refused.

Aliyev finally made tea, poured a cup for Yao Yuan, and said in a deep voice, "The Japanese New Daily Chemical Company proposed to build the Baku-Mersin oil pipeline, and it has obtained permission from Turkey. The entire length of this oil pipeline is 1500 kilometers, twice as short as the Baku-Karamay oil pipeline."

Sure enough, there was a change here, Yao Yuan nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Aliyev said, "You know, just because of this, I don't pay attention to..."

As expected, Aliyev changed the subject and said, "However, Japan provided us with a long-term interest-free loan of 1000 billion yen on the condition that we agree to build the Baku-Mersin oil pipeline."

Yao Yuan's eyes were about to pop out, and he looked at Aliyev in surprise.

After a long time, Aliyev felt uncomfortable being stared at by Yao Yuan, and said, "What? Is there a problem?"

Yao Yuan regained his composure and said, "The yen has appreciated, so it can be exchanged for a lot of dollars. Even so, 1000 billion yen is less than 10 billion U.S. dollars. Alijevic, don't you think your vision is too short-sighted?" ? If my guess is correct, a considerable part of the 1000 billion yen promised by Japan is goods, right?"

Aliyev was not surprised, and nodded slightly, "Yes, 500 billion yen was delivered in the form of goods, and the other 500 billion yen was delivered in US dollar cash."

Yao Yuan said, "These conditions won't make you tempted. I'm afraid New Japan Company offered a relatively high price to buy the oil from Baku. The whole line of pipeline construction was invested in New Daily Chemical, and they also offered a higher price." The price is indeed attractive. Then, what price does Xinrihua offer?"

A series of self-questions and answers, he basically told the real situation that Aliyev encountered.

Aliyev nodded helplessly, "You are right. The price offered by Xinrihua at $35 per barrel can be signed for a 20-year contract. Vasily, this is good for you."

Yao Yuan knew what it meant.

At present, the international oil price is suppressed by the United States. In order to fight the Gulf War, US President Bush spent more than half a year to prepare, persuaded the major oil-producing countries to grow, and at the same time used strategic reserves. After the war started, the oil price did not rise but fell. , surprised the whole world.

Under this impression, oil prices have been sluggish in the past two years, generally below $30.

Xinrihua is willing to buy crude oil from Baku at a price of 35 US dollars per barrel, which shows that they are determined to spend all their money.Japan itself does not have oil, and all of them need to be imported. For them, as long as they can get oil in exchange, it doesn't matter how much it costs, but the price is still tempting.

17% premium.

But for Yao Yuan, who knows that oil prices will rise soon, a mere 17% premium is nothing at all.

But Aliyev didn't know!

Even a god would not have guessed that the price of oil would soar to over $20 in 100 years and barely ever come down!

After figuring out that Aliyev's pressure was not diplomatic, Yao Yuan felt a lot more relaxed. Thinking about it carefully, Japan was a defeated country. It can be seen from the contemptuous smile on Aliyev's face when he mentioned Japan. It can be seen that he also looks down on Japan.

Then the problem is simple.

Yao Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. President, we are responsible for the construction of high-grade highways in the Baku area and other areas, as well as many infrastructures in the capital. If I remember correctly, it also involves financing loans .Do the Japanese want to accept it?"

Aliyev was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "Vassily, what do you mean?"

"According to your thinking, I can only say this, because I really can't think of how to respond to you, you know, the second party of the Baku-Karamay oil pipeline is Southern Industrial, and the price is negotiated every year, because I think oil prices will continue The rise is a long-term upward movement, and you think that the oil price judged by Xinrihua is right..."
