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

"Northern Machinery Company has developed a new type of computer with excellent performance, proving that they are very good at scientific research and technology."

"Lin Kaifeng recently borrowed a large number of technical personnel from several of our industrial ministries, and immediately achieved amazing results in major projects such as semiconductor processors and electrical component breakthroughs."

"We have no reason not to believe him."

"In addition, the state has a certain amount of controlling stake in Northern Machinery Company, and Lin Kaifeng is a member of the organization."

Having worked at a high level for many years, Vice Minister Zhao knows exactly what everyone is worried about.

It is true that Northern Machinery Company is a joint-stock company.

But it is fundamentally different from Western private enterprises.

Lin Kaifeng's company is a collective shareholding system, in which 20% of the shares belong to the state.

Vice Minister Zhao believes that the cooperation between state-owned enterprises and state-owned scientific research institutions is in line with policy.

The words fell.

Wang Changsheng's eyes lit up.

Northern Machinery Company was transformed from a state-owned enterprise into a collective enterprise and carried out internal equity division. Lin Kaifeng became the largest shareholder and general manager of the machinery company.

Many people are worried that if they allow Lin Kaifeng to take part in national core projects again and again, there will be a problem of core technology outflow.

I just thought that Northern Machinery Company was a joint-stock enterprise.

This ignores the fact that the state holds a certain stake.

The meat is rotten in the pot, and many things can be discussed from multiple angles.

"Comrade Youde, you are the Minister of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building. This cooperation is directly related to your department. Tell me, do you want to cooperate with the Northern Machinery Company?"

The old leader looked at Ma Youde, the current Minister of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

Ma Youde pinched the cigarette in his hand and stood up with a smile.

“If I were to do it, I think it would be possible to collaborate.”

"Military industrial units under various industrial ministries are implementing the policy of military-to-civilian conversion. Military industrial enterprises are gradually reducing their weapons and equipment production tasks and turning to research and production of civilian goods."

"As long as a civilian product manufacturing company has a certain level of scientific research capabilities, I don't think it's unacceptable for it to cooperate with relevant departments on scientific research projects."

In recent times, the Fifth Machine Department, which is responsible for the manufacture of army weapons, the Sixth Machine Department, which is responsible for the research and development of warships and submarines, and the Third Machine Department, which is in charge of various types of aircraft, have all been carrying out military-to-civilian conversion tasks.

A large number of military-industrial enterprises that previously produced aircraft, warships, cannons, tanks, light and heavy weapons began to look for military-to-civilian product projects for themselves.

Some companies want to research televisions, while others set their sights on washing machines.

What's more, they plan to produce ice cream and popsicles.

The next second, the Minister of the Second Ministry of Machine Building gave a wry smile.

The military-industrial enterprise that produces ice cream and popsicles comes from a nuclear factory under the Second Ministry of Machine Building.

As for the reason, it will make anyone who hears it laugh or cry.

The nuclear power plant under the Second Ministry of Machine Building has the most advanced centrifuges in the industry.

In addition to refining nuclear fuel, centrifuges can also improve the purity of butter.

Using high-purity cream to make ice cream will definitely be recognized by the market and the people.

The old leader waited for more than ten minutes, and seeing that no one at the meeting objected, he nodded and said, "In that case, this matter is settled."

"The Seventh Ministry of Machine Building will be in charge, and the Northern Machinery Company will assist in conducting research on the satellite navigation system."

"Comrade Wei Wanli will be in charge of the main technical work. Comrade Ma Youde, you are the Minister of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building. Your Seventh Ministry of Machine Building plays a vital role in this cooperation. If there are any problems, you must report them in a timely manner."

The meeting ended and the heads of various departments left the meeting room one after another.

Mr. Sun, the head of the foreign affairs department, was called aside by the old leader.

"Old leader, do you have any instructions?"

"This little guy Lin Kaifeng has made more requests than just researching satellites. This is another one of his requests."

The old leader looked at the secretary next to him.

The secretary pulled a document out of his briefcase.

After quickly reading the contents of the document, Leader Sun said exaggeratedly: "Hiring so many foreign experts at once, even if Northern Machinery Company is big and powerful, it can't withstand Lin Kaifeng's extravagance."

The old leader smiled faintly and said, "Old Sun, you made a mistake."

“Instead of hiring experts, Northern Machinery Company hired foreign experts.”

“Please and hire may sound the same, but there is a fundamental difference.”

Seeing that Leader Sun looked confused, the old leader patiently explained.

"Before the meeting, I spoke to Lin Kaifeng on the phone for 20 minutes. The United States is now a rotten thing on the inside."

“There is a problem of high unemployment in the country.”

"In the past, when we invited foreign experts, we not only had to cover their round-trip transportation expenses, but also had to pay a sum of money every day as a work subsidy for the foreign experts."

"This time, Lin Kaifeng is going to hire a large number of foreign technical experts from the United States to Long Country to serve our production and construction."

"In the previous stage, Lin Kaifeng planned to establish a complete semiconductor upstream and downstream industrial chain and build a semiconductor industrial park in Pengcheng Special Economic Zone."

"The little guy soon had a new idea. He wanted to build not only a semiconductor industrial park in the special zone, but also a large industrial park. In addition to automobile supporting enterprises, there should also be a large number of precision processing enterprises."

"Old Sun, you are the head of the foreign affairs department. How much do you know about the current unemployment rate in the United States?"

"This……"

Leader Sun is stuck.

Seeing this, the old leader started from the beginning.

Since the 70s, a large number of goods from island countries have poured into the United States.

It has caused an unprecedented impact on the US industry.

Against this backdrop, the unemployment rate in the United States has gradually risen.

In 1973, the first oil crisis broke out.

The emergence of the oil crisis once again dealt a heavy blow to the United States.

In response to the economic problems caused by the oil crisis, the United States began to cut public construction spending and conduct strict scrutiny on people applying for unemployment benefits.

The capital community has used their most common methods to deal with the economic crisis.

On the one hand, they laid off employees, and on the other hand, they cut wages and benefits.

Not long after the United States emerged from the first oil crisis, the second oil crisis broke out.

As a last resort, the United States plans to carry out industrial transformation.

This is what Lin Kaifeng calls deindustrialization.

Traditional industries such as steel, automobiles, and processing and manufacturing have the highest unemployment rates.

It is also the first industry to be transferred out.

Two years ago.

The United States' steel production capacity is only half of what it was in its heyday, and the remaining half of the companies have either gone bankrupt or been forced to suspend production.

By last year, the U.S. unemployment rate had reached 10%.

In an American city where many automobile companies are concentrated, the unemployment rate is about to exceed 20%.

The United States is determined to carry out deindustrialization, which has led to the closure of countless factories in the country and the loss of jobs of a large number of experienced technical workers.

"Oh my God! The United States is the world's largest economy, and its unemployment rate has reached such an outrageous level."

Leader Sun said that the U.S. unemployment rate was extremely exaggerated, but his own performance was even more exaggerated.
