The newly installed phone in Gu Ao's dormitory can be used to make long-distance international calls, which is very rare in China in 1979.

Who made him from the Diplomatic Academy? The entire diplomatic system had the highest international liaison authority at that time. In contrast, some "Six-Some General Administrations" who had no foreign business during the same period had higher administrative levels, but they did not necessarily have international long-distance switchboards.

2.75 cents per minute, the black market exchange rate is more than 24 yuan. There is no programmable international area code when dialing each time, and manual transfer is required.

The fully automatic program-controlled switch was not popularized in the domestic telecommunications department until about 1987. Huawei, the famous later generations, started this.

Before the emergence of program-controlled switches, there were only three-digit large cities in China with area codes from 010 to 029, which can directly dial the area code and make long distances. If you want to call small cities outside the top ten in the country, you must also transfer manually.

Therefore, whenever someone is beside Gu Ao, he can hear his oral instructions such as "Come to Iraq" and "Come to Japan", and then a sweet female operator will answer from the other end.

Every time this sound sounds, both roommates and maids will tremble. When thinking about the 24 yuan expense in one minute, I will consciously put down what I have to do, leave the dormitory and close the door from outside, then stand in the corridor to read a book, or chat and discuss quietly.

People in this era have a strong sense of confidentiality and have not recovered from their vigilance against enemy spies. As long as they are internationally long distances, they are a state secret by default and cannot be listened to if they shouldn't.

Iraq is four hours behind the time difference, so it's time for Gu Ao to go to dinner. Major Zhang's China Construction Company should have just started working after lunch break, and it took a while before the phone was called.

Gu Ao roughly selected some suitable parts for his own thoughts and judgments, and revealed it slightly, asking the other party to check it out mainly because he wanted to know where the gyroscope and force feedback sensor technology of the domestic Naval Equipment Institute have reached and whether there is a gap with the top civilian technology in the United States.

This is the basis of all his vision this afternoon.

Zhang Zhong has been away from the equipment office for three or four months, and many things are not in touch, but he trusts Gu Ao and gives him a lot of contacts. There is a section chief of the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Weapons Industry, who was the counterpart coordinator of Zhang Zhong when he was in the unit, and there are two researchers from the Navy Equipment Planning Institute.

"Xiao Gu, Section Chief Qiu and Researcher Wu, I will go back to two international long distances for them during the National Day holiday in two days to explain your situation clearly and lay the groundwork. You come to the door, otherwise they will not rashly talk to you." Zhang Zhong agreed on the phone very righteously and was willing to pave the way for Gu Ao.

"Yeah, I'll thank you so politely. I'm worried that I can't figure out the way." Gu Ao said with a smile.

Zhang Zhong: "Where is it, we can repay you? If Xiao Gu hadn't laid a good foundation in Iraq, our China Construction Company's current business development would not be that easy. As long as I can help you, it would be fine."

Those who are engaged in foreign affairs business rely on many brothers and friends, and they may use it at any time.

"Then let me wait for the news and contact us during National Day. If you have any information that is not confidential, you can just fax it to me and send it to the school switchboard."

Then, Gu Ao hung up the phone and went to win over the new mascot.

All four younger brothers were even more respectful to him.

...

Things about the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Ordnance Industry and the Naval Equipment Planning Institute are unhurried.

Gu Ao needs to pave the road slowly while exploring the layout. When he takes big steps, he can easily pull the eggs, but he is suspected to have ulterior motives.

So it was delayed until the three-day National Day holiday. After Zhang Zhong finished saying hello to him, he contacted Section Chief Qiu and researcher Wu Junhai for the first time, and initially gained the other party's trust, making the other party gradually believe that "this little comrade is covered by the identity of a Hong Kong businessman and can get some things that cannot be obtained through formal channels."

Then, they could show Gu Ao some demand-type and not very confidential information so that he could know that the current situation in this field in China cannot be leaked to foreigners at will, because when it falls into the hands of the batumi coordinators, they might know that "it turns out that the Chinese are so good that they can't even create this, so we should quickly add it to the embargo list."

Don’t think that in the field of commercial technology theft, only “how far we are advanced” is confidential; “how far we are dished” is also confidential.

If the food is indeed beyond the enemy's expectations, then pretending to be advanced for the time being may really be able to deceive some benefits. Although this situation is probably only slightly obvious from 1979 to 1981. By 1982, with the thorough communication between the East and the West and the rapid catch-up of domestic technology, many obvious shortcomings have been filled, and there is nothing to hide. Everyone knows the details of each other.

What Gu Ao can do is to make up for shortcomings in the past or two years, and take a little less detour or two steps, and fill in the upper limit that can be lifted in one step.

Gain trust, conduct research on the current situation in China, understand where the upper limit of foreign civilian technology is, compare the internal and external gaps, and finally Zhang Zhong's channel will make demands...

After all this, Gu Ao probably will take at least one month.

Therefore, until mid-November, he probably had no chance to go abroad to handle the matter in detail.

However, this is exactly what Gu Ao meant that he also hoped that his film and television copyright agency business in Xiangjiang could spread his influence slightly. Otherwise, even if he wanted to contact people in the Xiangjiang film and television industry, he might not even be qualified to seek a meeting.

Han Ting's business in Japan was not very helpful when Gu Ao first started. He had to wait until the trial sales model became popular and if there were Japanese electronics giants or entertainment peers willing to take over, Gu Ao would have room for performance.

At the same time, as a junior student, Gu Ao's own coursework is actually very busy. He has to put a 3+2 5-year master's degree to 3+1 to complete it. This year, he has to give all the undergraduate courses. He even needs to do some graduate studies first, otherwise he will definitely not have enough credits and results.

Originally, the School of Diplomacy has reached its senior year and has the last three cultural courses, so you can imagine the pressure.

Who made the academic attitude of this era so rigorous?

Even if Gu Ao has privileges, at best, he will apply to give him a small training course in advance in the midterm, arrange the credit tests for two courses, and calculate one subject after another after the exam.

All this timelines will be coordinated and will basically not be completed until early November, and then there will be time to borrow the foreign affairs transfer order from the Ministry of Weapons and Industry to take a long vacation to go abroad.

...

The words are divided into two ends.

Gu Ao is remotely controlled, layout, and studying wildly in the country.

After the three-day National Day holiday, Han Ting, who was already relaxed, finally set foot on the territory of Japan.

She changed her style of not wearing makeup and wearing simple clothes for the past four or five years, but dressed herself up fully and forgot to come to a new life.

Women, even if they are old, they must live a wonderful life for themselves.

When she stepped down the gangway, the thin hem of the professional women's dress was blown by the breeze. She had a bit of the mature look of Fang Yanyun in "Hujiangtan" played by Chen Shu in later generations.

However, the temperament is more elegant, not the character of a "social", but rather like the hostess of high-end salons in Paris in the 19th century, the Countess who talked and laughed at Maupassant and were in Flaubert.

After getting off Narita Airport, she did not go straight to Tokyo, but went to nearby Yokohama according to the address given by Gu Ao.

In the late 1970s, Japan's electronics industry layout mainly had three major parts.

First of all, in terms of components and monocrystalline silicon, Fukuoka and Nagasaki in Kyushu are relatively dense and have strong industrial clusters.

Large factories such as Panasonic, which are home appliances, have their headquarters in Osaka and their production bases are located nearby.

As for the Jingbin Industrial Zone, which was once the most powerful in the field of high-end and sophisticated electronic instruments, the decline in industrial hollowing out has begun to occur due to the rising housing prices in Tokyo, which is roughly the same as the surge in housing prices in Shenzhen after 2016, and even Huawei has to move out of Guan County.

The last foothold of the electronic manufacturing industry in the Keihin Industrial Zone has retreated to Yokohama and Chiba Prefecture. After the rise of LCD and LED industries in the future, with the profits of Korean and Taiwanese manufacturers squeezed, the Japanese will further retreat to Shizuoka Prefecture.

After all, after 1985 years, the yen rose to its peak after the Plaza Agreement, and when Tokyo's housing prices also peaked at the same time, it was claimed that "the money to buy Tokyo is enough to buy the entire United States."

Now that electronic repairs are done, you will definitely not be able to survive in Tokyo. After Gu Ao asked his agent to inspect, he naturally had to follow the crowd and set up his headquarters in Japan in the suburbs of Yokohama to save some money.

Registering a subsidiary and looking for a business location, these tasks do not require Han Ting to solve. She can move in with her bag and sleep directly in the office.

But Han Ting had to deal with the recruitment of personnel himself.

She is now a bare-stop commander. She first bought all the newspapers and magazines on the nearby market, found all the contact information, and then began to compare prices and publish some cost-effective recruitment advertisements.

In the later stage, Gu Ao could dig a deputy in charge of finance and supply chain from Lin Guodong, but everyone else had to do it locally in Japan.

Two days later, the first interview.

Only two low-level technicians who had worked as assistants in electrical repair companies were applied for the job, but even so, Han Ting had to interview in person.

When one of them was introducing each other, he heard Han Ting's name and asked her where she was from.

Of course, Han Ting said she was Chinese.

The other party looked incredible and confirmed whether he was from Xiangjiang or Wanwan.

Han Ting couldn't help but feel embarrassed. After all, she just came out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. How could she be a shame for the national character? So she insisted on emphasizing that she belonged to the mainland.

As a result, the other party thought she was a liar in disbelief and turned around and left. It seemed that he could not imagine the situation where Japan worked for mainlanders, but it seemed to insult his dignity.

The other one is not shameless, but Han Ting tested it and found that the basic knowledge is really ordinary, and she is not as good as a person who has made up for a week of common sense. She probably only knows how to repair old-fashioned electrical appliances and wires, and has never even repaired integrated circuits.

"You can't waste the recruitment advertising fee anymore... Alas, bear the humiliation. Next time, the applicant will ask about it, and I will say that I am from Xiangjiang Company. After all, this is also for the country." When Han Ting thought that Gu Ao might spend hundreds of yuan on recruitment advertising fee, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

After changing his mindset, Han Ting's efficiency finally improved a little. It took only five days to recruit at least a few workers' positions required for assembly and testing.

In addition, a staff member responsible for component procurement and marketing was also created. This is obviously a domestic feature, and the "supply and marketing department" was integrated. Fortunately, there is no sales business now that requires Japanese personnel to run, so there is no problem in doing so.
