A professor's rebirth: I entered Tsinghua University in 1977.

How generous is General Yu Donghai?

It was beyond Liu Hongyi's expectations.

His original plan was to raise 200,000 to 300,000 yuan from the army to start a factory, and then find other ways to solve the shortfall. Unexpectedly, General Yu gave him one million yuan in one go!

One million in 1982 could do a lot of things.

Yu Donghai made it clear: this amount of money is not only an advance payment, but also a strong support from the army to local production and construction.

Liu Hongyi made outstanding contributions to the army and was a great meritorious official.

Now that he has retired and moved to the local area, the army is his strong backing.

Our People's Liberation Army is a just and powerful force that knows how to "give back".

Moreover, the products Liu Hongyi plans to produce are indeed of use to the troops and can, to a certain extent, improve the troops' logistical supply capabilities. Military-civilian interaction kills two birds with one stone, and can fully achieve the effect of "one plus one is greater than two."

As the commander of a major military region, Yu Donghai has this power.

The efficiency of the troops was also very high. Soon after, the money was directly transferred to the account of the Zhuang'an County Finance Bureau.

This made the cadres of Zhuang'an excited.

To be honest, they have never seen "big money" much.

Zhuang'an is a remote, impoverished county in a mountainous area, where people have always lived a tight life. Crucially, the higher-ups aren't wealthy either, so the funds allocated to Zhuang'an are only a few tens of thousands, sometimes only a few hundred thousand.

There are only a handful of people who have funds exceeding one million.

In the early 80s, money was really valuable...

More importantly, in their view, this money was completely taken for free.

Liu Hongyi took the samples and "strolled" around the troops, and Commander Yu gave him one million yuan, as if it were a "game".

No one dreamed that making money could be done this way!

Liu Hongyi's "sassy move" not only caused a sensation among the cadre team of Zhuang'an, but also caused a sensation in the training class.

Secretary Liu did not intend to keep this to himself and did not hide anything at all. He directly told everyone the whole process of the incident in class.

These are all real examples, and the main point is to "liberate the mind" and "open up the thinking."

Don't always sit at home writing reports and waiting for your superiors to allocate funds to you.

You have to find a way to go out and "ask for money" yourself.

Some municipal party committee secretaries, district and county party committee secretaries who were originally somewhat unconvinced are now truly convinced.

He has a very flexible brain.

Most people really can't think of such a trick.

It was a huge inspiration to them.

With the money, Liu Hongyi immediately started building a factory.

In order to ensure that these factories could be built in the shortest time possible and operate normally, Liu Hongyi once again took unconventional measures.

He transferred people from Qinghua Technology Development Corporation to help.

That was his "old base", so he didn't even need to go to Beidu in person. He just needed to call Teacher Zhao Yuanfang.

"Teacher, I need support!"

On the phone, Liu Hongyi was very straightforward and didn't even say a polite word.

"can!"

Zhao Yuanfang agreed very readily.

"I need a whole factory construction team and a complete management team."

Liu Hongyi put forward specific requirements.

"can!"

Zhao Yuanfang answered simply and concisely.

"In two days, I will have them set off and let Quan Xu lead the team."

Quan Xu is now Zhao Yuanfang's full-time secretary and has been promoted to deputy section level.

"Also, I'll give you two million."

Before Liu Hongyi even made any request, Zhao Yuanfang took the initiative to "increase the stakes" for him.

Liu Hongyi laughed: "Teacher, is it so good?"

This is definitely a "pro-teacher"!

"Stop coming!"

Zhao Yuanfang cursed with a smile.

"I've already asked the president for permission, and he agrees. This two million is free of charge. It's Qinghua University's support for production and construction in old, remote, and impoverished areas!"

Liu Hongyi gave a thumbs up, regardless of whether Zhao Yuanfang could see it or not.

"Principal Zhao, be generous!"

"As a high-ranking leader, his mind is truly remarkable, he's like a big shot..."

The "treacherous" student Liu Hongyi was flooded with flattery.

Zhao Yuanfang laughed heartily, quite proudly. "Hongyi, don't ever say your alma mater didn't support you. We at Qinghua are grateful and repay kindness. We will be kind to those who treat us well."

"You can't be careless about your annual strategic development report. You must write it for me properly. Otherwise, I will complain to Principal Tai and Principal Qi and have you spanked!"

"Of course, why do I need an elder's instructions?"

Liu Hongyi got a windfall and was in a very good mood. He started to teach his teacher.

However, Secretary Liu was born a wolf, the kind that could never be satisfied, and he began to become more and more demanding and even more aggressive.

"Teacher, how about this? Our Qinghua Technology Corporation can set up a research institute in Zhuang'an, mainly to study the development of light industrial products. We can test some of my ideas on site."

"Whatever Zhuang'an can produce, we'll produce it in Zhuang'an. Whatever Zhuang'an can't produce, we'll produce in Qinghua Industrial Park. What do you think?"

"can!"

Zhao Yuanfang is really rich now, and everything is "okay".

In fact, these two "old foxes", the master and the disciple, both smiled with their eyes narrowed, feeling that they had gotten a great advantage.

Liu Hongyi had acquired a research institute out of thin air, without having to pay a cent of his own money; Qinghua University provided all the personnel, funds, and materials. For a company like Qinghua Technology Development Corporation to establish a research institute in a remote, mountainous, and impoverished county was definitely an exceptional initiative. It was undoubtedly unprecedented.

There will never be another county-level research institute like this in the future.

But Zhao Yuanfang also felt that he had gotten a great deal.

The reason is very simple, Liu Hongyi said "some of my ideas"!

This is a huge bargain.

No one knows better than Zhao Yuanfang how valuable Liu Hongyi's brain is.

This is something you may not be able to buy even if you spend millions or even tens of millions.

Just take the current situation as an example, how much is the entire Qinghua Industrial Park and Qinghua Technology Development Corporation worth?

"Hongyi, I've asked them to bring a complete system to this research institute. Please give them some guidance when you can. We're currently working on the root server issue for the Internet. You need to pay attention to this matter."

What snacks?

Liu Hongyi almost blurted out.

"Teacher, that's radical enough. Are we going to start studying this?"

Zhao Yuanfang chuckled and said, "Didn't you say that yourself? Everything should be done as soon as possible!"

ten thousand years is too long, fight for now!

"You clearly stated in your No. 1 strategic document that the first round of competition in internet technology will be the battle for root servers. We absolutely cannot afford to fall behind in this area."

"No matter what, we must fight hard!"

Great opinion, President!
