On that day, the higher-ups held several discussions on the issue of Wujiang Group's involvement in the aerospace industry.
"It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!"
"If Wujiang Group can develop China's aerospace industry, then let them do it."
"If foreign countries allow private enterprises to enter the aerospace market, does China have absolutely no tolerance for foreign companies?"
"In my opinion, we should not only allow Wujiang Group to enter the aerospace industry, but also provide it with support in terms of technology, talent, and policy, so that Wujiang Group can become China's Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics..."
At this moment, the top leader, sitting in the seat of honor, made a firm decision.
Seeing this, everyone expressed their support.
As everyone knows, the country only invests 2 billion RMB in the aerospace industry each year, which is a drop in the ocean for the aerospace field.
However, Wujiang Group has abundant financial resources and is fully capable of propelling China's aerospace industry to new heights.
Just like Wujiang has made outstanding contributions to China's semiconductor industry.
...
Zhao Ye never expected that he would receive a notification the very next day that the state had approved Wujiang Group's entry into the Chinese aerospace market.
Zhao Ye made a decisive move and established SpaceX, a space exploration technology company, under the Wujiang Group.
Although this company is just an empty shell, it will soon attract the world's most outstanding aerospace talents.
Zhao Ye did not have unrealistic ambitions. In his previous life, SpaceX mainly engaged in research in three areas: rockets, satellites, and aero-engines.
To be honest, at this time, China's technological gap with foreign countries in many fields is not that large.
Moreover, especially at this time, with the collapse of the Soviet Union imminent, if China could attract a large number of Soviet talents, it would surely narrow the gap with the United States and other Western countries.
The Soviet Union was a world leader in aerospace, engines, materials, precision machining, chips, and military industry.
Without a doubt, this is the best time for China to achieve a leapfrog development in the aerospace field!
In the past, China focused solely on attracting top-tier talent in the military industry, primarily because China itself was relatively underdeveloped and could only offer low salaries, making it difficult to attract talent. The exceptional talent painstakingly recruited was then prioritized for deployment to military research institutions to enhance the military's capabilities.
In 1991, China also established the "Friendship Award" to specifically recognize foreign friends who made outstanding contributions to China, further enhancing the positive image of China held by Soviet experts.
Unfortunately, China at that time recruited too few Soviet talents.
The biggest beneficiaries of the collapse of the Soviet Union were Japan and the United States. Their methods of poaching talent were extremely simple and brutal. They only cared about money and used money to forcefully recruit Soviet experts, attracting many experts who were interested in economic benefits.
Seeing the outstanding momentum, other smaller countries also began to take action, with countries such as South Korea and Singapore extending olive branches to Soviet experts and introducing a number of talents.
Fortunately, Zhao Ye arrived.
Zhao Ye stated, "No one knows how to poach talent better than me!"
The sheer amount of money will surely leave those experts dizzy and disoriented. Wujiang will provide them with salaries comparable to those of European experts, luxurious apartments of one or two hundred square meters, job placements for them, and education for their children, among other things...
Moreover, the team Zhao Ye sent to specifically recruit people would befriend Soviet experts and then invite them to work in China as friends.
Which Soviet expert could withstand such a test?
For top Soviet talents, Wujiang Group could even gift them a luxury villa!
Currently, only the luxury apartments and villas remain to be built.
But this didn't take much effort, as Wanjiang Real Estate, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, was already a real estate company that had mastered advanced manufacturing technology.
Wujiang Group can build high-end apartments and villas on a large scale at any time.
Furthermore, most apartments can be awarded to employees who have made significant contributions to Wujiang.
In addition, Wujiang can build a number of slightly more ordinary apartments and provide them to its employees at low prices.
Maximize the benefits and perks for Wujiang Group's employees so they can work with peace of mind.
...
At this time, the Soviet Union was experiencing severe shortages of food and other consumer goods. The market was only filled with inferior products, and people had to take turns obtaining small quantities of supplies. Inflation was also unbearable, and only the privileged class had the opportunity to obtain good things, which led to numerous internal and external conflicts.
After Zhao Ye founded SpaceX, the space exploration technology company, he urgently needed talent, so he started poaching people now.
It's likely that some Soviet experts who value money would be willing to work for SpaceX.
Moreover, there was another purpose behind bringing Soviet citizens to China at this time. While they lived a prosperous and stable life in China, their friends were suffering from cold and hunger in the Soviet Union.
Will they persuade their friends to develop their careers in China?
As the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together," and most of the friends of experts are also experts in certain fields.
By then, it might be much easier for Wujiang Group to poach talent.
...
Gabriel Wilcox was a renowned rocket expert in the Soviet Union, but with the decline of the Soviet economy, many of the Soviet space programs had come to a standstill.
Gabriel Wilcotts, the rocket expert, seemed to have no place to use his skills; whether he went to work or not was of no concern to anyone. At that time, the entire Soviet Union was in chaos, with shortages of supplies, a devaluation of the ruble, and people queuing up every day to buy even a tiny bit of food.
