Chapter 170: Prospects
Hearing Xu Wangchuan's question, Xu Wangqiu smiled, although the eldest brother did not go to college, he had an excellent vision, and he asked the key at once. The most important thing in high-tech enterprises is talent, and if there are not enough talents, engaging in high-tech enterprises can only be empty talk.
For other entrepreneurs, how to get people is a difficult problem; for Xu Wangqiu, a traveler, it is really not a problem, and he said lightly: "There are more than 1,000 scientific researchers in the computer science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Peking University and Tsinghua University also have computer science departments, which is not a problem at all." ”
Xu Wangchuan felt that Xu Wangqiu was a little whimsical: "How can students from Peking University and Tsinghua University enter our company, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is even more impossible, all the scientists in it are scientists, how can they help us do things." ”
Xu Wangqiu explained: "At the beginning, it was really difficult to get these people to our company, we could cooperate with them, and we could pay them to help us develop research and development. When I was filming "Falcon" last year, I needed two kinds of equipment, which were developed by the Beihang UAV Research Institute. Now the projects of the military-industrial complex have been cut, and the conversion of military to civilian has begun. The same is true for scientific research institutions, where scientific research funding has shrunk greatly, and many scientific research projects have been cut. A lot of computer-related projects are being axed, and more and more are going to be cut. After the disbandment of these scientific research teams, some went abroad, some returned to the school to teach, and some were even transferred to the computer room. If we put money into asking them to help us do the project, how could they refuse, it would be too late to thank them. ”
In fact, at the end of the movement, there was a gap between China's computer technology and the United States, but the gap was not particularly large. However, after the reform and opening up, the country focused on economic construction, and scientific research funds began to shrink, and many projects were cut. Especially in 1984, the state implemented the policy of "appropriation to loan", from the past state allocated funds to enterprises as working capital and equipment renovation funds, to bank loans to enterprises, enterprises not only have to repay bank loans, but also pay high interest. And instead of investing a penny, the government siphons off most of the company's revenue, as it did in the past.
For example, the largest semiconductor company in China, the fifth factory of Modu Components, made a profit of 20.7 million yuan in 1980, and even in 1985, the profit still reached 12.61 million. However, by 1990, the profit was only 24,700 yuan.
Due to lack of money, the Chinese Academy of Sciences stopped the research and development of large-scale integrated circuits in 84 years, and in 1987, the large-scale integrated circuit research laboratory was officially abolished. China's top computer research institute also stopped researching computer CUPs until more than a decade later, when it started working on Loongson again.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences has a huge technical reserve and a large number of technical talents, which is a real golden mountain. There is such a gold mountain, where you need to worry about the problem of talents, as long as you pull it a little, you will have everything. Lenovo started with Ni Guangnan's Lenovo Hanka, and only needs to take Ni Guangnan and Lenovo Hanka in front of Liu Chuanzhi, and Xu Wangqiu has all the projects and talents they started.
Xu Wangchuan couldn't help but say: "It seems that you have really been planning for a long time, and the situation has already been mastered." ”
Xu Wangqiu did not deny it, and said with a smile: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles!" The Chinese Academy of Sciences is next to Peking University, and Su Bai and I often wander over there, so we have a better understanding of the situation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ”
Xu Wangchuan looked at Xu Wangqiu and said, "Wangqiu, why don't you do it yourself?"
Xu Wangqiu couldn't explain many things, so he could only flicker: "You know me, I haven't been very gregarious since I was a child, I don't have any friends in school and factory, I'm a lone ranger, and people like me are not suitable for leadership." On the contrary, you have such a talent, from childhood to adulthood, you are the king of children of the same age in the factory, and you are a natural leader. And my ambition is not here, I still want to make a difference in the field of film. I want to be an artist, I don't want to be a businessman who smells of copper. ”
Xu Wangchuan laughed when he heard this: "I see that the smell of copper on your body is heavier than anyone else, others want to make tens of thousands of dollars at most, and what you want to earn is hundreds of millions." If the copper smell of an ordinary businessman is a pound, your copper smell is measured in tons. ”
Xu Wangqiu couldn't help laughing: "Actually, my stay in the film industry is also good for the computer company." For example, if we build a computer, if we want to make a name for ourselves, how to let consumers know that our product is a problem. Under normal circumstances, advertisements can only be placed in newspapers, magazines, television and other media. But I'm a director, so I can add computer footage to the film, and the audience will be interested in our product when they see it in the movie. Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden. If we join forces, this company will definitely become a world-class company!"
Xu Wangchuan was moved by the scene depicted by Xu Wangqiu, who could not only become a billionaire but also be recognized by the state and society by engaging in a computer company. Of course, the most important thing is that he has great trust in Xu Wangqiu's vision, and said: "Since you have confidence in this matter, then we will engage in computers!"
Xu Wangchuan thought that Xu Wangqiu was just pulling himself to do computers, but he didn't expect that Xu Wangqiu planned to let Xu Wangbei also learn computers.
Xu Wangbei is a sophomore in high school this year, and since high school is now a two-year system, he will take the college entrance examination in July. The college entrance examination is different from when Xu Wangqiu took the college entrance examination in the previous two years, and there will be a preliminary examination in May. If you can't pass the preliminary exam, you will be out of the game and will not be able to enter the examination room of the college entrance examination. It's already early February, and there are only three months before the preliminary exam, even if Xu Wangbei is a top student, he doesn't dare to take it lightly, and he doesn't go out of the door all day, so he reads and reviews at home.
That night, Su Bai went to Xu Wangqiu's house as a guest, she knew that Xu Wangbei was going to take the college entrance examination soon, so she brought some review materials from Beiping. After giving Xu Wangbei the review materials, she asked Xu Wangbei which university she planned to apply for and what major she planned to study.
Xu Wangbei didn't want to say directly: "I'm going to take the Tsinghua University exam, and I want to study computer science." ”
Xu Wangchuan was slightly stunned, he and Xu Wangqiu were about to do computer work, but they didn't expect his sister to be ready to learn computers, so he couldn't help but say: "Wangbei, why do you want to study computer science?"
Xu Wangbei also didn't want to say: "Because computers are high-tech, computers have been widely used in all fields of social life in foreign countries, and computers are widely used in all walks of life and people's clothing, food, housing, and transportation in all walks of life, such as industry and agriculture, transportation, culture, education, and health, and social public utilities. “
Xu Wangchuan was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to know so much about computers." ”
Xu Wangbei said proudly: "Of course, the second brother has brought a lot of computer materials back in the past two years." I watched some of it when I was fine, and I thought it was very interesting. ”
Xu Wangchuan turned his head to look at Xu Wangqiu, thinking that he didn't expect Wangqiu not only to pull me to work on the computer together, but also to pull the little sister in, in fact, this is very good, Wangbei This girl is a little heartless, with me and Wangqiu taking care of her, Wangbei will definitely not suffer, and said with a smile: "Your second brother and I will also do computers in the future, and when you graduate, you will come to help us." ”
Hearing this, Xu Wangbei said curiously: "Second brother, do you really want to engage in computers with your eldest brother?"
Xu Wangqiu explained with a smile: "It's mainly my eldest brother, and I still make movies, but now the development trend of movies is to combine them with high technology and computer technology." In the future, computer digital technology will become the most important way to create films, shooting with digital technology, and using digital technology to produce special effects. So, I must have cooperated a lot with my eldest brother. ”
Xu Wangbei said curiously: "But the movie is shot on film, how can it be processed by computer?"
Xu Wangqiu explained: "You know the video recorder, the video recorder is used to play video tapes, how to turn film film into video tapes? With this technology, the film can be scanned into a machine and then made into a videotape. Of course, this technology can also scan the movie into a computer and process the picture of the movie through computer software. After processing, the processed image can be converted into film by reverse technology, that is, magnetic transfer technology. However, this technology is not yet mature, and there is a loss of picture in the conversion process, and it is not particularly widely used now. Since you want to learn computers, then study hard, and in the future, you can help the second brother develop the technology used to make movies, so that the second brother can make a lot of movies that can't be made now. ”
When Xu Wangbei heard that he could help Xu Wangqiu, he said happily: "I will definitely develop various advanced technologies in the future, so that my second brother can make the movies he wants to make." ”
Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "Second brother is looking forward to this day. ”
In the following days, Xu Wangqiu, as in previous years, was busy buying New Year's goods. Compared with last year, the Spring Festival in 1981 had a stronger flavor of the year. On the eve of the festival, Rongcheng No. 1 Commercial Bureau, No. 2 Commercial Bureau, Supply and Marketing Cooperatives and other departments have gone to other places to organize the supply of goods. Among the 130 kinds of festival commodities arranged by the city, the supply of 89 kinds exceeded that of previous years, and the supply of daily industrial products was sufficient.
Compared with previous years, Xu Wangqiu's house was obviously much more lively during the entire Chinese New Year. There are obviously a lot of people who go to Xu Wangqiu's house to pay New Year's greetings, especially on the second and third days of the new year, there is an endless stream of people who come to Xu Wangqiu's New Year's greetings, and they are almost breaking the threshold of his house. These people who come to visit the New Year are basically carrying gifts, and the cigarettes, wine, and fruit snacks are simply piled up into a small mountain.
The labor service company was originally a large factory-run collective, which did not make money itself, and the wages of its employees were relatively low, basically 2 or 30 yuan a month. However, after Xu Wangchuan contracted the contract, the salary rose to 4,50 yuan a month, catching up with the level of the employees of the Xiuying Studio, and a bonus of 200 yuan was paid. They are sincerely grateful to Xu Wangchuan, and now that the New Year is over, they naturally come to the door with gifts to pay New Year's greetings.
When Xu Wangchuan and his team first contracted a labor service company, many people regarded this as a joke, and even thought that Xu Wangchuan and they were crazy. At the end of the year, Xu Wangchuan and they completed the agreement of 300,000 yuan and gave a bonus of 200 yuan to each of the employees of the labor service company, and all the people who were waiting to see the joke were dumbfounded. Some of the children and relatives in the family who do not have good jobs, work as temporary workers, or are unemployed, come to the door one after another during the Spring Festival, hoping to let their children and relatives join the labor service company.
However, most of these people have not seen Xu Wangchuan in person, because since the second year of junior high school, he has been carrying gifts all over the world to greet the New Year, to the leaders of Xiuying Studio, to the leaders of the Department of Culture, and other higher-level departments. Labor service companies need the approval of the higher departments to carry out performances, and they must do a good job with the higher departments.
All this has nothing to do with Xu Wangqiu, except for staying at home, he is with Su Baiwei. On the eighth day of junior high school, he returned to Beiping with Su Bai, and the later stage of "Falcon" was not finished, and he needed to continue the later stage. When Xu Wangqiu returned to Beiping, Liu Lin and the others had already returned to Beiping, ready to participate in the later work of "Falcon".
After returning to Beiping, the first thing Xu Wangqiu did was to take Liu Lin and them to Wanrong's former residence and really buy the house.
