Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, your company is truly extraordinary. Not only did you build a five-story dormitory in a short period of time, you also placed a radio in every room. The environment is truly amazing."

Zhang Wanchun, president of the University of Science and Technology, and several school leaders praised Lin Kaifeng's careful arrangements.

The dormitory building built by the machinery company for intern college students has a magnificent exterior.

The internal conditions are not much worse than those of foreign-related hotels.

Each room has two bunk beds and a desk in the middle.

There was a fan hanging from the ceiling and a radio in the middle of the desk.

Lin Kaifeng said modestly: "Principal Zhang, you are overpraising me. These are what we should do."

"College students are the pride of the world. Your school trusts our company and sent so many college students here for internship. How can I not do my best in logistics support?"

Hearing Lin Kaifeng say this, everyone became even more satisfied.

“It is definitely not accidental that the machinery company has grown to the scale it is today.”

"The fact that he can consider every aspect of the problem in detail shows that General Manager Lin respects talents."

"Even ordinary leaders don't have radios at home, but every dormitory here has one. Students who come here to rest will never feel bored again."

"It's not just the radio, there's also an electric fan overhead, so students and teachers can sleep well in the summer."

The school leaders were full of praise for Lin Kaifeng's arrangements.

Whether it is a radio or an electric fan, they are all luxury items with three turns and one sound.

Say something.

The reason why Shenyang University of Technology agreed to cooperate with Northern Machinery Company was directly related to the sponsorship provided by Lin Kaifeng.

Never expected it.

Lin Kaifeng not only built the dormitory building for interns in advance, but also spent a lot of effort on the interior design.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Principal Zhang, school leaders, if everyone is satisfied with my work, I have an idea and would like to discuss it with you. I wonder if it is convenient for you now?"

"It's convenient. Just tell me what you want to say."

Everyone sat on the bed and looked at Lin Kaifeng at the same time.

"We are all scientific researchers and we all know the importance of continuous upgrading of science and technology."

"In my opinion, technology is an important cornerstone of all development, especially for manufacturing companies like us, which must always keep up with technological innovation."

“Only in this way can the company remain invincible in commercial products.”

"I have an idea to jointly establish a product technology research institute with your school."

"Through the Institute of Technology, we will develop deeper cooperation and exchanges. Your school will send students and teachers to participate in technical research, and our company will be responsible for providing funding, venues, equipment, materials and other guarantees."

"At the same time, we will also send some technical personnel to assist you in scientific research."

Lin Kaifeng knows better than anyone that technology is the primary productive force.

Even if Lin Kaifeng has three heads and six arms and his mind is full of modern technology, he is only one person after all.

It is impossible for one person to do everything.

It is even more impossible to promote the technological development of the entire industry on one's own.

Lin Kaifeng needs the cooperation of a large number of technical personnel. If Northern Machinery Company wants to further grow bigger and stronger, technological innovation and upgrading are also indispensable.

In addition to closer technical cooperation with the University of Technology, Lin Kaifeng will also cooperate with universities in surrounding provinces and cities.

Provide the same conditions and treatment to continuously attract scientific and technological talents.

They were seconded to the Northern Machinery Company.

As for whether everyone will leave when the secondment period comes.

Lin Kaifeng has his own way to make technical experts stay voluntarily.

The country vigorously promoted the 43 project and introduced more than a dozen large-scale supporting projects, from which dozens of sub-projects were derived.

In addition to establishing diplomatic relations with the United States, Western restrictions on Longguo have been relaxed.

The country has officially started a shopping spree.

Soon, the relevant departments found that they did not have enough money.

Faced with this situation, the relevant departments were forced to make choices.

Reduce research funds allocated to state-owned enterprises and research institutes.

Reduce funds allocated and concentrate funds on purchasing advanced equipment and technology from abroad.

Departments across the country are experiencing a cash crunch.

As long as Lin Kaifeng offers enough money, adequate treatment and sincerity.

It will definitely be able to retain a large number of scientific researchers.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, do you know how much it costs to set up a technical research unit?"

Zhang Wanchun neither agreed nor refused.

To set up a high-standard technical research institute, more than just matching technical personnel is needed.

A large amount of research equipment and materials also need to be purchased.

Each of the above items costs a lot of money.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly, "I understand what you mean. Setting up a research institute is different from setting up other units. Everything costs money. Due to foreign restrictions, the scientific research equipment and research materials they sell to us are relatively expensive."

"But it doesn't matter. As long as they are willing to sell, I will find ways to buy it."

“Technological research and development is more important to Northern Machinery Company than anything else.”

"Even if setting up the research institute requires using half of the company's funds, I will do it."

Lin Kaifeng said it with absolute certainty.

The money spent now is laying the foundation for the next few decades.

Due to the incompetence of the Qing government, Longguo was left far behind in the industrial innovation of the last century.

It took decades for Longguo to barely catch up with the scientific research pace of developed Western countries.

Due to various reasons, scientific research and development has once again been left behind by the West.

There's no time to catch up now.

If we want to catch up in the future, it will take not decades but hundreds of years.

The country holds the Canton Fair twice a year, and through the Canton Fair, it earns foreign exchange through exports and obtains economic support for national development.

Most of the goods for sale are primary industrial products, and there are very few products with core technologies.

Since it is a primary industrial product, it naturally cannot be sold at a high price.

In contrast, island countries and a large number of Western countries.

They master the core technology, purchase large quantities of cheap production materials, and assemble them using their own technology.

Production materials purchased for one hundred dollars can be assembled locally into finished products and sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After the words were spoken, everyone nodded with emotion.

The problem that Lin Kaifeng mentioned is exactly the main problem at this stage.

Most of the raw materials exported by Longguo are cheap production materials, and a certain profit can only be obtained by relying on quantity.

If you don’t master core technologies, you will always be a cheap material supplier for others.

To make big money and get more development funds.

It is necessary to increase investment in technological research and development.

Concentrate a large number of scientific researchers to tackle key problems in various complex technical fields.

Complete mastery of these techniques as early as possible.

Make use of advanced technology to produce Longguo’s own high-end core products.
