Chapter 880 The Old Factory Manager’s Thoughts (7000 Words)

This is the result of economic deterioration. People find that the money in their hands is becoming less and less valuable. The country's money is worthless, so they can only collect more taxes.

The tax rate of the bald eagle is floating. The general property tax is 1%~3%, and this ratio is allocated according to the annual fiscal budget of each place.

But after collecting taxes from landlords, the landlords can only pass the taxes on to the tenants.

There is no such thing as small property rights houses in the West.

Of course, from another perspective, the West is also small property rights houses, because its land and the ancillary buildings on it are permanent.

But there is a premise that you have to pay taxes first. As long as you are not dead, you have to pay taxes.

So tenants will face the trend of all rents rising.

This will lead to a surge in various living costs.

"This is how the economy deteriorates!" Liu Hai knows why our country has been emphasizing stability.

Because the country is unstable, the first to be affected are those at the bottom.

Of course, our country is better. Most people in rural areas have some homesteads and land.

It is impossible to get to the point of those homeless people in the West, sleeping on the street.

"Will it affect us?" Xiaoyun asked when she heard this.

"It will definitely have an impact. Apart from other things, the depreciation of the US dollar in our hands and the sequelae of economic turmoil will cause the export of goods to decline, which will have a certain impact on the entire global economy, and may trigger a world-class economic crisis." Liu Hai doesn't know much about finance, but domestic export business like Bald Eagle will definitely be affected.

"Fortunately, my business is almost all in Europe."

"The European business is also a bit dangerous. They are very disunited internally. Bald Eagle will definitely make trouble when it finds an opportunity and stir up chaos in Europe."

"It's really hard to do business now!"

Liu Hai laughed when he heard this.

In fact, Liu Hai underestimated the impact of the economic crisis of Bald Eagle.

Who are the people inside Bald Eagle? Just look at 2020 and you will know. 0 yuan purchase is popular.

And now the economic crisis of Bald Eagle has also evolved into a lot of 0 yuan purchases, and the public security situation has deteriorated rapidly.

Faced with this situation, many people in Bald Eagle took to the streets and stopped working, demanding Mr. Zipper to give an explanation.

Mr. Zipper originally thought that he could punch Europe and kick some countries in the East after he took office. After all, as a former world power, he had the confidence.

But he didn't expect Europe to set a fire in his backyard.

Soros went to shock the South American countries, but he didn't expect to trigger a chain reaction. The other party actually refused to use the US dollar to pay for international trade.

It directly triggered the credit crisis of the US dollar.

Mr. Zipper is now in constant dialogue with Europe. As long as Europe does not sell US dollars and starts to absorb US dollars, the credit value of the US dollar will increase again.

There is another country whose economic situation has been impacted by the Bald Eagle economy, that is Fat Goose.

Fat Goose originally expected Bald Eagle to give some US dollar aid, but now Bald Eagle is in such a mess, how dare it give aid to others.

Fat Goose wants to get aid from Europe. Europe's condition is to reduce the number of nuclear weapons, so that it can get corresponding aid.

In order to get aid from Europe, Fat Goose had to sign an agreement with Europe to reduce the number of nuclear weapons again.

In fact, Fat Goose now has to reduce the number of nuclear weapons because there is not enough money to maintain them.

If nuclear weapons are not properly maintained, it is easy to go wrong. Once pollution or leakage occurs, it will be a major accident.

Europe paid the cost of destroying the mushroom eggs of Fat Goose.

Of course, Europe also signed a destruction agreement with Lao Er.

Europe is actually very wary of Fat Bear's nuclear weapons. After all, Fat Bear has been threatening the whole of Europe for decades, and everyone in Europe is very vigilant about Fat Bear.

Because Europe has been targeted for decades, it is impossible to change this concept in a short time.

Europe is now quickly dismembering Fat Goose and Lao Er's mushroom eggs, and sending technicians and experts to supervise the destruction of each aid.

Lao Er promised to destroy all of them to get aid from Europe, while Fat Goose only destroyed them to a limited extent.

Liu Hai was not surprised to see these news, because these people did the same in history. In their view, it is better to keep the money in their own pockets than to spend it on these mushroom eggs.

Time came to Saturday, New Year's Day, 1994.

New Year's Eve, February 9, is more than a month away from the Chinese New Year.

Liu Hai came to the four-axis drone laboratory of Fenghuo Technology Company. The design he brought out last time was produced by the laboratory in just one month.

The finished product looks a bit ugly, because everything is the original color, the rotor and the frame, and other things.

It looks a bit like the agricultural drone in 2020, which is very big.

"Such a large drone, if it is used for flying performances, what if it falls down?" Liu Hai suddenly realized a problem, that is, during the light show, there must be no way to stand below, otherwise such a large drone, if it loses control and falls, it will be troublesome.

Don't talk about any safety measures. The drones in 2020 have various safety measures to prevent collisions, slow down, and return to the original route if they lose the signal, but there are still so many bombs.

"Eh? It should be miniaturized in a few years, and the light show can be held on the lake, so it doesn't matter if it falls." Ni Nan answered when he heard the boss's concerns.

Liu Hai looked at the remote control and found that it was very different from the remote control of the drone in 2020.

It felt like playing with a large remote-controlled drone.

However, the current chip, semiconductor technology and communication technology cannot reach the technical level of real-time video control.

"Have you tested it?" Liu Hai asked again.

"The test has not started yet, so why don't you let the boss come to witness it in person." Ni Nan said.

In fact, the laboratory has already conducted a preliminary test, and there is no problem with takeoff and landing.

This is not to see that the year-end bonus for last year is about to be formulated, so let the boss take a look at the production progress of this drone.

As long as it meets the boss's psychological expectations, everyone can earn more money.

As for how far, how high and how long this drone can fly, it is hard to say, because this requires a lot of test data support.

Liu Hai can probably guess the little thoughts of these people, but as long as everyone works hard, they can get the money themselves.

"Then let's find a place to try." Liu Hai nodded.

Fenghuo Technology Company has not manufactured aircraft or anything like that. Although it has assisted in the manufacture of some aircraft systems, the tests were all done in other places, so it started testing on the basketball court.

Because the drone uses lithium batteries, a large bucket of water was prepared.

Once the drone loses control and falls from the sky, causing the lithium battery to lose control, the entire drone will be thrown into the water.

There is still no solution to the burning of lithium batteries in 2020.

Because huge amounts of electrical energy are stored in the battery, once the battery is hit, damaged or torn, it is easy to cause a chain reaction.

Even if the lithium battery is put into the water, it will release energy when it burns, not to mention other fire-fighting methods.

The drone looks pretty ugly now because it is the color of the material itself.

The wings of this drone can also be folded, the folded wings are opened, and then the rotors are opened.

The lithium battery is directly installed on it like the lithium battery of a battery car.

Everything is ready, and Liu Hai holds the remote control in his hand, which looks a bit bulky and needs to be hung around his neck.

Of course, there is a bulletproof glass in front of Liu Hai. After all, this is an aircraft. Who knows what strange accidents will happen.

Liu Hai feels that this remote control is a bit heavy. Of course, it can be further optimized in the future when it is mass-produced.

For example, the circuit board, the shell, and other things can be optimized.

This thing was originally designed by Liu Hai, so he knows his operation process very well.

First, the power switch. After the power switch is turned on, the indicator lights on it light up. There is also a display screen on the remote control, which is showing icons one by one, a bit like the various icons on the top of the mobile phone, with power display and signal.

At this time, the rotor of the drone also moved.

When all the indicator lights are on, it means that the remote control has established a wireless control connection with the drone.

Woo woo woo!

Accompanied by a humming sound, the quadcopter drone rose directly under Liu Hai's control, and the speed was very fast.

In 2020, Liu Hai likes to play cross-country drones. I believe that the development of cross-country drones will be better in the future. In the future, the enemy's soldiers hiding in bunkers or buildings will not be able to escape the bombing of cross-country drones.

This is a bomb with eyes in the true sense.

Of course, the drone is not omnipotent, after all, the electronic system can also be interfered with.

Liu Hai stared at the drone carefully, and when he let go, the drone hovered in the air.

Liu Hai looked at the various icons on the display screen, including the battery percentage icon, the signal icon, the load icon, and the altitude data.

There is also a lock mode on the remote control, which means that the drone can be locked at a certain height.

"It would be great if there was a terrain adaptive radar." Liu Hai felt a little sorry.

Terrain adaptive radar, so that this kind of drone can fly at a certain height from obstacles.

However, it is completely fine to use it for pesticide spraying by human control now.

This is just like the remote control drone that children play with, and the skills are acquired through practice.

"Very good, this must be very good for pesticide spraying." Liu Hai landed the drone. This thing is not new, and it is far worse than that in 2020.

When Ni Nan heard the boss's words, he wondered why he couldn't keep up with the boss's thinking.

Even the researchers in the drone laboratory around were a little surprised. They didn't expect the boss to study this to spray pesticides?

The researchers in the laboratory have already figured out how to use this thing. The load can be replaced with some dangerous goods, and the laboratory has developed the relevant control structure.

Unexpectedly, the boss said that it would be used to spray pesticides.

"After the 3G data communication system is successful, it can be controlled in real time through data communication video." However, the boss's next sentence made everyone understand that the boss stood higher.

The researchers thought of many ways to increase the accuracy of this drone bombing, but because it can only be judged by the naked eye, it is difficult to judge the accuracy, but when the boss said this, everyone instantly understood.

At that time, just hang a camera on the drone.

"This is all thanks to the boss. We just did some work." The head of the laboratory almost jumped up with joy when he heard Liu Hai say this. It seems that the year-end bonus is inevitable.

"Everyone has contributed. You have to continue to optimize this product in the future. You have to carry more equipment on it, equip it with terrain adaptive radar, and add obstacle avoidance radar, so that the drone can return to the original route when the signal is lost!"

"You will do all these things later." Liu Hai saw the researchers in the laboratory take out the lithium battery of the drone first, and then fold the wings.

"We will definitely work hard!" The head of the laboratory also knew how expensive this drone is now. It would definitely not be cost-effective to use it to spray pesticides.

However, Fenghuo Technology Company has a lot of reserve products and technologies.

Some things are not used now, which does not mean that they will not be used in the future. Anyway, as long as the boss approves, the boss will pay for it.

What is the reason for everyone to work hard on research? Of course, it is for money.

Don't talk about hobbies or anything like that.

"Boss, WCDMA technology should be fully available within two years." Ni Nan waited until only the boss and the other two were there before reporting other things.

WCDMA is 3G network technology. In history, it was the cdma2000 technical standard proposed by Bald Eagle Company in 1998. In 2000, a small company launched the real 3G, WCDMA.

"That's good. In two years, we have been able to develop drones to a level that we dare not imagine." Liu Hai certainly knew that as long as someone developed drones, the subsequent extended models and subsequent optimization would be easy.

Especially for a large technology company like Fenghuo Technology Company.

"Yeah." Ni Nan didn't know where the boss got such technology from.

Because this is an aircraft after all, especially the flight control system inside.

Of course, the current flight control system is still very simple, because the performance of the drone itself is relatively simple.

It can be said that this kind of drone can't find an application direction at all.

Because it needs to be controlled within a visible distance, if it is really used to spray pesticides, I am afraid the cost is not enough.

"Optimize this drone and prepare to officially start factory production within this year!" Liu Hai's next words surprised Ni Nan a little.

"Boss, you won't really use this to spray pesticides, right?"

"Why not? It's just a little more expensive, but the efficiency of this drone is beyond words."

"In addition, this drone has many uses, such as when the power department is laying wires, the drone can directly pull the traction rope!"

"And when there are all kinds of debris entangled on the wires, you can carry a flamethrower to burn these entangled debris."

"In addition, you can also bring some automatic shooting cameras to shoot in places where it is inconvenient for some people to go."

"A long time ago, reconnaissance aircraft also took pictures and then went back to analyze the photos."

"Of course, the biggest application is still in agriculture."

"Okay!" Ni Nan found it difficult to understand Liu Hai's thoughts.

Don't forget that Liu Hai has an agricultural reclamation company in the northwest, which mainly reclaims farmland and then contracts it to individuals.

At that time, the drone will be rented to others to spray pesticides, or spray pesticides for others, how much per acre.

In the future, Liu Hai will be the largest landlord in the northwest, and of course the company will have to pay taxes for the rent.

"The year-end bonus of their project team can be a little higher, after all, they have produced the finished product in one month."

"I thank the boss on their behalf!"

"Boss, affected by the economic crisis of Bald Eagle, the OEM sales of Panda 2nd generation mobile phones have declined."

"Isn't the superior department ready to reduce the price?"

"The superior department just wants to reduce the price!"

Liu Hai certainly knows what the superior department means. Panda mobile phones are now almost a monopoly product, so if they can avoid reducing the price, they will definitely try not to reduce the price.

Of course, it can also be said that this is the consequence of monopoly.

"I suggest that Panda 1st generation mobile phones be reduced in price again, Panda 2nd generation mobile phones should also be reduced in price, and the same is true for Panda computers, so as to tap the market potential." Liu Hai said.

"The superior department has such a plan, because the reduction in the shipment volume of Panda mobile phones will affect the domestic industrial chain."

Liu Hai understood what Ni Nan said. If the shipment volume of mobile phones is reduced, the upstream material production and transportation companies will also be reduced.

For this kind of thing, Liu Hai has no way to say anything. Pursuing profits is human nature. If it weren't for the fact that the economic crisis of Bald Eagle affected the sales volume of Panda 2nd generation mobile phones, the superior department would never reduce the price.

This is the consequence of monopoly. After monopolizing the market, the company has always had enough profits and has no motivation to develop new products.

Because developing new products requires more investment.

But now it is like this, Liu Hai has no choice but to let him go.

On January 20, 1994, Sun Aiguo came back from a dusty trip.

"Xiao Liu, thank you so much." Liu Hai didn't have time to visit Sun Aiguo, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to come to his door.

"Some of my comrades' families are not doing well." Sun Aiguo is thinner than before, but he looks more energetic and darker.

Liu Hai has been prepared for this, because there are poor people in every rich place.

It is not that the poor do not work hard, some are limited by their innate conditions.

And some are due to various reasons, such as disease or natural and man-made disasters.

Even in 2020, perhaps a natural disaster will make a rich man lose everything overnight, or even owe a large sum of money, and there will be more debts due to disease.

"So this is what you want to do, old factory director." Liu Hai laughed and poured a cup of tea for the old factory director.

"So this time I shamelessly ask you another question, what do you think people in those backward places should do?" These comrades of Sun Aiguo, as long as they are alive, have a little money every month, but this money will not play a big role in places with poor conditions, it can only make the family a little better than the surrounding.

"If it is due to the environment, I think we can move to the northwest, where there is a lot of land."

"Of course, this is only the first suggestion. The second suggestion is to adapt to local conditions. On the one hand, send young and strong laborers to work in factories after training, and on the other hand, see what kind of breeding can be developed locally." Liu Hai continued.

"Some places are seriously short of water."

"This can be used to build water conservancy facilities. I can give money for this."

"Thank you so much." Sun Aiguo was about to stand up and bow to Liu Hai when he heard Liu Hai take out money again.

"Old factory director, what are you doing!" Liu Hai quickly stood up and supported the old factory director.

"I am thanking you on behalf of my comrades and their families. In some places, not only are the people poor, but even the government has no money, not even enough to build a pond!"

"Now I understand how difficult it is for the more than one billion people in our country to have enough food and live in a good house."

"I went to a comrade's home. From the moment I got off the car, I walked on the mountain road for more than five hours. It was really a mountain after a mountain."

"But in such a remote mountain, electricity is available, but the cost is relatively high."

Liu Hai certainly knew that the village-to-village project had not yet covered all farmers in 2020.

The main reason is that there are too many mountains in our country.

Of course, from another perspective, when facing foreign enemies, the more mountains, the better.

In fact, the endless plains like the bald eagle also have defects. There are often hurricanes on the bald eagle side because it is too transparent. This is like living in a building that is transparent from north to south. If you open the windows on both sides, the wind inside will be very strong.

Liu Hai can't help much with the village-to-village project because the project is too large.

But Liu Hai can help in other aspects.

"I can solve the lighting problem by directly using photovoltaics." In 2020, there will be a lot of such photovoltaic lamps, and many street lamps in rural areas use this kind of photovoltaic street lamps.

Now there is no problem at all in lighting remote rural areas.

"I won't say thank you, I will definitely get things done. This time I come back and I plan to ask for some policies from above."

"I am very confident in you, old factory director!"

"Then I won't talk to you. I will talk to you in a few days. I will go to write the plan first." Sun Aiguo said and left in a hurry.

Liu Hai took out a notebook and wrote a list of things related to photovoltaic lighting equipment.

Because this thing is used in remote rural areas, don't make it too complicated.

Directly use photovoltaic panels, lithium batteries, and then match them with low-voltage LED lamp beads and bulbs.

Even illiterate people who want to do it know how to operate it.

Of course, there are a lot of things involved, such as charging protection, rain protection, waterproof and moisture-proof.

Although this will affect the income of the power grid, there is no way.

"Let the relevant laboratories work overtime and make this thing according to the requirements first." Liu Hai went directly to Ni Nan and handed him what he had written.

"Boss, are you going to make emergency lighting?" Ni Nan is very familiar with this thing, because many buildings now have emergency lighting equipment.

Just like the lights on the top of many office buildings, there is an emergency light every two or three blocks. As long as the power is cut off, it will be powered by lithium batteries.

"I am preparing lighting equipment for remote farmers. Next year I plan to donate a batch of such equipment to farmers in remote areas." Liu Hai didn't need to hide the truth.

"Boss, don't worry." Ni Nan saw that the boss's writing was thoughtful.

Because the amount of light in different regions is different, different areas need different areas of photovoltaic panels.

In addition, the temperature in different regions has different requirements for lithium batteries.

The boss has detailed requirements for different regions, different light illumination, different temperatures, and even different electricity usage habits.

It is enough to prove that the boss is doing this thing with his heart. If it were someone else, he would directly match a photovoltaic panel with a lithium battery and a low-voltage LED lamp. As for the use effect, this cannot be fully guaranteed.

In addition, the boss also made special requirements, such as rodent prevention, moisture prevention, and charging protection.

"I'm relieved to leave it to you!"

At the end of January 1994, Liu Hai met the old factory director again.

"This time I went down and touched me so deeply. Not only me, but also the old guys who went down with me. I feel sorry for my comrades." Sun Aiguo looked at his yard, which still had a lot of green vegetables, which were taken care of by Sun Aiguo's wife.

"Our country has a weak foundation. Although it has developed rapidly in the past few decades, many places are restricted by conditions. In fact, you, the old factory director, have done your best. How many workers and students have been recruited from remote areas in our factory over the years, and how many families have been driven by these people!" Liu Hai said comfortingly.

"I think I should have gone down to take a look a long time ago, or you reminded me to think about these things. Maybe I have lived in Kyoto for too long and have forgotten the hard days I passed by." Sun Aiguo blamed himself a little.

"Old factory director, we are very good now, and I believe it will get better and better in the future." Liu Hai certainly knew how deeply Sun Aiguo was touched when he saw some bad situations.

"Next year, I will give the old factory director an additional 2 billion, and get 5 billion funds every year, and the factory director can use it at will."

"Xiao Liu, I don't think giving money directly is a solution. What do you think of me giving them motorcycles? Motorcycles are used for transportation in rural areas, whether it is carrying people or goods, it is considered an income." However, Sun Aiguo obviously considered it carefully.

Although our country is now a major exporter of motorcycles, there are still many places in the country that cannot afford motorcycles.

"Old factory director, it is OK to carry people and goods, but the relevant insurance and laws and regulations must be sound, just in case something goes wrong with carrying people and goods." Liu Hai did not mention the electric motorcycle, because the motorcycles the old factory director mentioned were mainly used by the families of comrades in remote areas, and electric motorcycles are not suitable in these remote areas.

"I will give my opinions to the higher authorities in this regard, what do you think of my idea?" Sun Aiguo nodded.

"The old factory director's idea is very good, but has the old factory director ever thought about it? If everyone in a village uses motorcycles to carry people and goods, then will there be so many businesses? We still need to take a multi-pronged approach." Liu Hai took a sip of water and asked.
