Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

"Xiao Liu, tell me, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making this remote-controlled electric fan?"

What Director Shen Xian is really interested in is this.

Earning 150 yuan from one electric fan and 5000 yuan from 75 fans was certainly a huge sum of money in that era, but Director Shen Xian did not take it seriously.

In his opinion, 75 yuan was not as valuable as the idea in Liu Hongyi's mind.

Liu Hongyi bowed slightly and said, "The transformation of science and technology into productive forces is primarily reflected in increasing the added value of products."

"Currently, my country's export earnings are primarily based on basic products. Most of these are agricultural products with very low added value. Industrial products also compete for market share by offering high quality and low prices, especially raw material exports, which only earn a small fee. They also have low technological content."

"The raw materials we sell are processed by others using high technology to produce finished products, and then sold back to us at ten or even dozens of times the price."

“That’s the power of technology.”

"We've suffered too much from this before... but we can't keep suffering this kind of loss. We have to find a way to change this situation... so I thought we should work harder on technology."

"Ordinary electric fans are produced by many of our factories, and they are highly homogenized. If the same electric fan is not equipped with a remote control device, it will only cost a little over 100 yuan when sold to foreign companies. This is just to break even, with a slight profit. Sometimes, because we urgently need foreign exchange, we are forced to sell at a loss."

In fact, an ordinary desktop electric fan costs between 160 yuan and 230 yuan in the domestic market.

It is equivalent to the total salary of an ordinary worker for several months, and you need an industrial ticket to buy it.

The prices of similar products we sell abroad are even lower than those in China.

The profits are quite slim.

But now, the remote-controlled electric fan made by Liu Hongyi can be sold for $160.

This is the added value that technology brings to products.

Professor Li can offer such a price, which shows that similar products may be sold at a higher price abroad, with considerable profit margins.

"Therefore, I believe that devoting all our efforts to developing technology, increasing the added value of our products, and enhancing their competitiveness is the most important thing."

"With money, we can increase investment in science and technology and in talent cultivation."

"Leaders, we desperately need those foreign monographs and professional journals... Time is of the essence..."

"I suggest that we establish a research department at Qinghua University. It should be directly under the leadership of the president, and it will unify the management of the university's research work, coordinate personnel from various departments and majors, and focus on tackling key problems. We will strive to produce a batch of research results that can be transformed into practical products in a short period of time."

"At the same time, we can also appropriately establish some school-run enterprises to facilitate the transformation of these scientific research results."

Rao Xishao and Tai Zhengyang were stunned, looking at the young man who was talking so eloquently in shock.

Comrade, we came here today just to ask the leader to give us a green light to set up an electric fan factory, but you want to "restructure" it!

Do you know what level of school Qinghua University is?

To establish a scientific research department directly under the leadership of the president, it must at least be at the level of a full-fledged master.

You are a freshman who has been enrolled for less than a month, not even 18 years old, and still "dry behind the ears". How dare you speak like that!

Liu Hongyi naturally noticed their shock, but he couldn't care less about it now.

The opportunity was too rare, he had to seize it and say everything he wanted to say.

If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this shop...

I don’t know if I will have another chance to give you advice in person in the future.

"Leaders, after the school-run enterprises generate profits, they can feed back to the Research Department. With sufficient funds, the Research Department can buy more equipment, improve the salaries of researchers, and produce more results, forming a virtuous cycle."
