Chapter 424: Domestic Products Should Be Strengthened
At ten o'clock in the morning, when the tea party officially started, there were two more people at the scene.
Li Dayong quietly told Li Ye that the two men were not technical staff members of Professor Zhao and Professor Wu, but colleagues from their two units, one with the surname Liu and the other with the surname Kang.
Li Ye nodded to show that he understood. These two people were here to propose conditions. If it weren't for them, this tea party probably wouldn't have been held.
After the tea party started, the two of them basically didn't speak, as if they only brought their ears here, but brought their voices to Luo's home.
[Is this the military supervisor? ]
Professor Zhao and Professor Wu gently expressed their willingness to cooperate, and said that the institute had good equipment and had achieved various research results in the past.
But Guo Tianyong insisted on one point - the research of civilian products cannot be separated from the support of factories and markets, so the research site must be in Changbei, and the technical confidentiality agreement agreed by both parties must be strictly observed.
The two sides exchanged ideas, laughing and talking in a harmonious manner, as if they were determined to argue to the end.
Finally, when it was almost time for dinner, the middle-aged man surnamed Kang said, "Let me ask a question!
You have gathered so many of our scientific research staff here and asked them to study low-end projects like sewing machines. Don’t you think it’s a waste of talent? They should have used their energy on high-tech projects, but now they are secretly…”
"Hey, hey, hey, Kang Cheng, please watch your words. What do you mean by private or not? We are using our break time to help others with technical problems."
Professor Zhao interrupted Kang Cheng unhappily before he finished speaking, "There are so many people in the company, aren't there people working on high-tech projects?
We are not researching airplanes or cannons, why are you so serious? Besides, you also said that sewing machines are low-end projects that are not up to standard. They use their Sundays to earn a little money to buy clothes for their wives and children, so don't be so fussy about it!"
“.”
The middle-aged man named Kang Cheng was obviously very afraid of Zhao Xiangchu. He didn't dare to get angry even when he was confronted. He was very embarrassed.
And looking at the looks of the people around him, he clearly showed signs of offending everyone.
Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. It is not easy for the disciples of Professor Zhao and Professor Wu to earn a little money.
As for the situation in the early 1980s, foreign investors were actually quite timid. What if the Hong Kong side was afraid of "overreacting" and stopped the cooperation between the two sides, where would they be able to make money so comfortably?
With this money-making environment, if you don’t come, there will be others.
There are not so many high-tech projects in various units nowadays. Even among the middle-aged researchers in their thirties and forties who are in their prime, eight out of ten do not have any serious projects under their charge, not even bicycle projects.
Kang Cheng thought for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "President Zhao, I am not targeting you all. It is just that the unit has a request, and I am just putting forward the unit's request for everyone to discuss."
"Then let's discuss it!"
Professor Zhao picked up the teacup, blew on the tea leaves and slowly drank it.
Another Professor Wu did the same. He held the teacup and looked at it, as if he was trying to figure out the font of the great man's inscription on it.
The two leading bosses kept silent, and the rest of the researchers were even more silent, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold.
However, Guo Tianyong had received instructions from Pei Wenhui before the meeting, so he did not hide it anymore and just told it out directly.
"We have always believed that the bonus for achievements must be distributed to individuals, because this is what researchers deserve, and it is also a manifestation of responsibility. If you are given money, you must take responsibility.
However, we have learned that some units have unclear responsibilities, so we will not change the current cooperation mode for the time being. If you disagree, please give us some time. I must find a successor to take over the next research. ”
"In addition, we will also increase some collective welfare benefits, such as three opportunities for overseas study tours each year, and five funding places for overseas study.
We will leave this to Dean Zhao and Professor Wu to assign. It can be family members, children, or colleagues."
“.”
Guo Tianyong's words barely showed "beating and pulling" written all over his face.
If we all maintain the status quo, it will naturally be good for you, me, and everyone else, and we will have all the benefits and welfare we can get.
But if you want to mess around, then let's part ways in peace. You help me stand guard for the last shift, and I will find someone else to replace you.
Moreover, it is difficult to clearly state the details of the new benefits and treatment provided by Guo Tianyong.
Children and colleagues can do it, you can allocate it among yourselves! As for who it is allocated to, I don’t care.
Professor Zhao and Professor Wu looked at each other and sighed.
Then Professor Zhao said to Kang Cheng: "Take these two opinions back and listen to what your family thinks."
Kang Cheng nodded, stood up and left.
Another person who came to attend the meeting also left.
The opportunity to study abroad is fine, but the five funding places for studying abroad must be secured as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late.
After the two outsiders left, Guo Tianyong treated everyone to a sumptuous lunch, and the atmosphere on the scene became warm and harmonious again.
Li Ye was arranged to sit at the table for young and middle-aged people, right next to Wu Yan.
Wu Yan first picked up the wine glass and walked with Li Ye, then looked at Li Ye for several seconds and asked: "Do you know why the Hong Kong side gave these benefits?"
Li Ye smiled and asked back: "Why do you think I know?"
Wu Yan said confidently: "I think you know."
“Heh~”
Li Ye smiled and said, "I do know, because we have been doing one thing - domestic products should be self-reliant."
“.”
The group of technical guys at the banquet were all stunned, then looked at Li Ye and smiled.
"We've all heard this before. We've heard it so many times that our ears are callused. Isn't it just a waste of words for you to say this?"
"That's not what I said."
Li Ye restrained his smile and said seriously: "After these days of research, everyone should have realized that we are far behind the world's advanced level in civilian industry."
"We don't have the equipment, the basics, or the funding. The only thing we can offer is the idle researchers like you here."
"You may all know that some researchers who go abroad are doing well overseas, so you must have the ability. Now that you are given the treatment of overseas researchers, do you still need to go out and see the faces of foreigners?"
“.”
"We have enough researchers. If we lack basic knowledge, we can make up for it with technology. We have abundant manpower to make up for the lack of basic knowledge."
"You are wrong, young comrade. Technology is useful, but it cannot completely make up for the backwardness in foundation. We still have a long way to go."
"Of course."
Li Ye said frankly: "Domestic products should be self-reliant, so at least they should be among the best in the country. If they can't even be among the top three in the country, they are just shouting slogans and deceiving people."
“.”
After listening to Li Ye's words, the young and middle-aged researchers at the table were all thoughtful.
I don’t know whether the slogans were just random shouts, but now they feel that they have “justice” by doing short-term work for Hong Kong capital.
Who says we are here for the money? We are here to strengthen our domestic products.
Wu Yan, feeling depressed, suddenly blurted out: "Let's set our goal to be the first in the country! Being second is meaningless."
