Tang Zifeng came prepared, and he replied: "Elder Xu, in fact, so far, we can't talk about victory. The technical advantages of Tuao CAD are still very obvious, and Huaxia CAD has won the acceptance of users only by virtue of its low price. If we are complacent, resting on our laurels, and wait until our country's economic development reaches a certain level, and the financial situation of most enterprises improves, and they don't care about tens of thousands of yuan of software expenditure, they will rather spend more money and buy foreign software with better performance, Huaxia CAD is still unable to escape the fate of being eliminated. ”

"It's very good that you have this awareness!" Xu Zhaojian nodded with satisfaction, "So, are you planning to continue to improve this software?"

"The company has recruited 40 new programmers, led by the company's technical director Zhao Yuntao, who is responsible for the optimization of the Huaxia CAD40 version, and their plan is to launch a new version every year, try to shorten the gap with Tuo CAD, and use five to seven years to achieve the goal of completely catching up. Tang Zifeng said.

"Ambitious!" Xu Zhaojian praised and asked: "How sure is this goal?"

"More than ninety percent. Tang Zifeng said without hesitation, seeing that Xu Zhaojian didn't seem to fully believe his words, he explained: "Old Xu, in fact, our country still has a great advantage in software. Software development is not like product manufacturing, which requires the consumption of raw materials and advanced machinery and equipment. Software development can work as long as there is a computer, and the main cost comes from the labor input of programmers.

"Our country is a country with abundant labor resources, labor costs are very low, including well-educated programmers, and the salary level is much lower than in Western countries. This allows us to invest more technical personnel in the development and optimization of the program, and it is not a dream to achieve the same level as abroad. ”

"Hmm. Xu Zhaojian replied softly, accepting Tang Zifeng's explanation.

Tang Zifeng continued: "Another initiative of New Jingwei Company is to start the development of CAE software led by Liu Xiaohan, deputy technical director. Among the software used in the machinery industry, CAD is the most commonly used but also the lowest threshold, CA, CAE, etc. are more difficult, and the impact on industrial production is also greater, of course, the software price is also the highest.

"In the past, the strength of the new Jingwei company was insufficient, and they did not dare to get involved in CA, CAE and other software, but now there are tens of millions of profits, and they can make large-scale investment in this area.

"Before coming to you, I talked to Li Kejia, the general manager of New Jingwei Company, and she is now very confident that she will make New Jingwei Company into one of the top 20 industrial software companies in the world within 10 years. ”

Xu Zhaojian asked: "In addition to industrial software, can this model also be applied to other types of software? When I went to the Academy of Sciences to talk with computer experts, they mentioned many types of software, especially operating systems. Do you think we can take such a way to support the development of domestic operating systems?"

Tang Zifeng said: "Theoretically, of course it is possible. But Huaxia CAD can be successful, our marketing methods are only one aspect, or even a less important aspect. The main reason for the success of Huaxia CAD is that it is already a relatively mature software and has the strength to compete with Tuo CAD. Huaxia CAD can develop to this point, and the high investment in the early stage is inseparable, in this regard, the machine can also be regarded as a contribution. ”

Tang Zifeng said that Linyi Machine made a contribution, which naturally refers to the fact that Linyi Machine sold the wood carving design software developed by the new Jingwei Company in the process of selling wood carving machine tools. It is by virtue of the profits obtained from the sale of wood carving design software that the new Jingwei company can spend a lot of money on Huaxia CAD to help it continuously optimize and upgrade.

The last time he came to see Xu Zhaojian, he had already introduced this situation, so as soon as he talked about it at this time, Xu Zhaojian understood what he was referring to, and said: "I understand what you mean, without diamonds, we can't do porcelain work." If we want to squeeze out foreign software, we must first make our software level reach a certain level. We can't force companies or individuals to use low-quality and low-cost software. ”

Tang Zifeng said: "Even if we force them to do this, it is useless, blind protection cannot cultivate first-class products, and iron must be hard." ”

Xu Zhaojian nodded: "You are right. The state needs to have a clear attitude towards other software categories, especially the computer operating system proposed by the Academy of Sciences. Until they are not strong enough, the state should pay for them to grow, and the development of their own software should not be neglected just because everyone can still use pirated software. ”

"Another rule is that we must introduce a competition mechanism. The reason why the new Jingwei company can make the Huaxia CAD40 version is because it is only a private company, without the support of the state, every mile has to be earned from the market. Although it is said that its first pot of gold is given by Linyiji, if its product is not too hard, Linyiji will not accept it. Tang Zifeng said.

Zhou Heng hurriedly helped: "That's right, Mr. Xu, when Xiao Tang recommended the new Jingwei company to me, I made it clear that the products they provide must stand up to inspection, if the quality is not good, we will never accept it, and no one can intercede." ”

"Ha!" Xu Zhaojian laughed, he pointed at Tang Zifeng with his finger, and said, "Xiao Tang, do you want to emphasize this point with me to prove that you are not favoritism?"

Tang Zifeng was slightly embarrassed, and then argued: "Elder Xu, on the issue of the new Jingwei Company, I have not sought any personal gain. Before this crackdown on Tu'ao Company, I transferred all my equity in Xinjingwei Company to Canglong Research Institute, and I didn't leave anything behind. ”

"You're doing a great job. Xu Zhaojian praised, "When Xiao Zhou told me about this matter, I said that you are very correct in handling it this way. The publishing company you and your classmate opened has a profit of more than 40 million a year, which is enough for your family to live comfortably for several lifetimes. It's very rare that you can control your desires and not be greedy or lustful in the face of such great rights and wrongs. ”

“......”

Tang Zifeng only felt that the vest was sweating desperately, and he really couldn't play with the country, it was no problem to hide his own little things, but at the level of Xu Zhaojian, if he really wanted to investigate his details, he really couldn't hide anything.

Of course, no one will know his identity as a time-traveler, after all, the country has not yet established a space-time administration......

"Don Jr., you're super rich now. With your talents, if you concentrate on coming back to your company, you can probably make 10 times more money than you would now. So, I want to ask, what is your idea for staying in Linyi Machine as the executive deputy factory director?" Xu Zhaojian suddenly asked a sensitive question.

Regarding this question, Tang Zifeng had thought about it countless times, and he also expected that leaders such as Xu Zhaojian, Xie Tiancheng, and Zhou Heng would definitely ask him such questions. In the future, if he does a better job and enters the field of vision of the senior leaders, it is expected that the higher leaders will ask him the same questions.

He showed a self-deprecating expression and said, "Elder Xu, my idea is that in addition to making money, people always have to do something meaningful, I don't know if this answer can satisfy you." ”

"Satisfied, of course satisfied. Xu Zhaojian said calmly, "In those days, many of our comrades also abandoned the affluent life of their families and threw themselves into the revolutionary struggle, and their thoughts were the same as what you said, that is, they hoped to do something meaningful. Today, there are also many comrades in all walks of life who have given up the glory and wealth that can be obtained at their fingertips, and are willing to dedicate their lives to the cause of the country. You Tang Zifeng have such thoughts, I can completely understand it. ”

Tang Zifeng smiled and said, "Thank you Elder Xu for your understanding." ”

Xu Zhaojian waved his hand: "I haven't finished yet." It's good that you have that idea right now. Nowadays a lot of people say 'it's all about money', but it's very rare that you can think of doing something meaningful. However, I would like to ask you, how long can you keep this kind of thinking?"

"How long?" Tang Zifeng was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

In fact, he hadn't really thought about it yet. Before the crossing, he struggled on the poverty line all day long, and he couldn't talk about any lofty ideals at all. After crossing over, his initial goal in life was still to make a lot of money and live a life like a local tyrant. At first, when Zhou Heng went to Linyiji, he didn't dare to throw away his public office casually out of helplessness, but he had the idea of leaving after two years of casual messing.

Later, he developed feelings for Linyiji and found fun in what he did, which gave him the idea of doing a good job. He was able to transfer forty percent of the shares of Xinjingwei Company to Canglong Research Institute without blinking, precisely because he had fallen in love with this career. Of course, Feihai Company can give him more than 10 million dividends every year, which is also the reason why he can make this decision, and it can even be said to be a very main reason.

But how long can he maintain this enthusiasm?

Xu Zhaojian smiled slightly, he looked at Tang Zifeng's eyes, and said in a gentle tone:

"It's not difficult for a person to have ideals and enthusiasm at a young age. In good times, it is not difficult to maintain ideals and enthusiasm. The most difficult thing is to maintain ideals and enthusiasm for the rest of your life. Even in the face of adversity, you can still not forget your original intention, do not change your original intention, the rich and noble cannot be lewd, and the poor and lowly cannot be moved. Don Jr., can you do it?"

"Me?" Tang Zifeng hesitated, but he immediately saw the white hair on the heads of Xu Zhaojian and Zhou Heng, and suddenly remembered their past experiences. An impulse surged over him, and he nodded vigorously and said:

"Yes! I can do it!"
