Chapter 734: Learn from the island nation
After the end of World War II, the island nation, as a defeated country, not only suffered an economic depression, but also suffered a catastrophe in the manufacturing industry. Fifty per cent of the industrial equipment was destroyed, and at the same time, the output of the main manufactured products fell sharply, almost to less than 50 per cent of the pre-war peak, when the scene of the war was crooked and skewed by the vast wreckage of war production equipment on one side, and the fleeing masses of people without food and clothing on the other. ”
In order to break out of the economic predicament as soon as possible, the island countries are determined to follow the example of the United States and make full use of their "late-mover advantage" to introduce and absorb the advanced technology and creativity of the American manufacturing industry. As a direct result, a large number of "copycat" goods began to emerge in the island country, covering almost all industries.
At that time, if "Made in Japan" was mentioned, I believe that people's first reaction must be "counterfeit and shoddy", which can be seen from the style of the product:
However, this simple and crude copy did not last long, and after falling into the black history of "copycats", the Japanese began to gradually change their thinking, not only absorbing knowledge from books, but also buying competitors' products to disassemble, thoroughly studying each part, and then absorbing their design ideas. Not only that, but Japanese engineers also tackled key problems with the mechanical devices used to manufacture products.
This model has been dubbed by the Japanese as a very "industrial party" - "reverse engineering".
Under the influence of "reverse engineering", the island countries bid farewell to the high-cost and inefficient production mode of the forties and fifties of the last century, and actively sought to renew facilities in the field of heavy chemical industry by vigorously introducing advanced technology.
Imitation of advanced technologies in the fields of electricity, steel, and shipping also became the mainstream of development at that time.
In this way, the island countries have achieved a gradual leap from large-scale production, the introduction of automation technology, and mechanical automation to the comprehensive establishment of a high-tech and large-scale production system, which has greatly promoted the recovery and development of the national economy.
The island country and China both started with imitation, the starting point is similar, but the results are very different, the island country quickly turned into its own after laying the industrial foundation, and then began to rebuild on the original basis, just more than 20 years to form a perfect industrial system, from a screw, a piece of steel to automobiles, airplanes, Chips and even a lot of black technology, in the 21st century, their science and technology accumulation has skyrocketed, the annual Nobel Prize in Nature ceremony has the figure of the island country, in just a dozen years has won more than a dozen awards, not to mention China, even the United States is shocked by the strong scientific and technological foundation of the island country.
On the other hand, the Chinese people have not done enough in this regard, and it is appropriate to describe it as only getting some skin.
The brand "Made in China" was also once famous in the world, but the things we made are only small commodities, the added value is too low, for example, 30 years later, the Apple mobile phone is assembled in China, tens of thousands of workers serve it, working overtime day and night, so that the pressure on workers is too great and there are suicide things, but China's profit share is not even less than three percent of the profit of an Apple mobile phone, and then look at the "TSMC" that gives Apple mobile phone foundry chips , each of them has to share more than 30 percent of the profits.
This is the gap, the huge gap, the gap of the world, to make up for such a gap is not a day or two can be done, is after decades of technological accumulation, the island country has achieved this accumulation from beginning to end to the extreme, the Chinese people have to learn from them.
In front of us is an example, General Motors, a century-old company, was forced to replace the engine by the automobile company of the island country, which is a big project, no less difficult than McDonnell Douglas, in fact, this is also a development trend, and the future energy-saving and environmentally friendly products will be favored by everyone.
This project is a big project, even Professor Claire has to pay attention to it, Liu Lang happened to encounter this project, and as a result, he followed the research with peace of mind, Professor Claire didn't say anything, so others didn't care about him, besides, Liu Lang has a very good relationship with all the employees, and treats him as a real friend, Liu Lang will buy them gifts when he has nothing to do, what Nike's latest sneakers, and the latest comics of Shengtang Company, these seemingly inconspicuous gifts make Liu Lang the most popular person in Professor Claire's laboratory, even more popular than Professor Claire, of course, Professor Claire is a "demonic" existence in everyone's hearts, and Liu Lang is an angel, this little angel brings happiness to everyone.
Since it is an angel, when the angels encounter problems, they will take the initiative to help answer, and finally they all have to answer questions, if they can't answer, they have to go back to help find out, Professor Claire is amazed, and thinks that Liu Lang's ability is higher than his academic level, and he should run for the presidency of the United States......!
To be honest, this project has involved the core secrets of General Motors, and only the members of the project team can really get in touch with it, but Liu Lang still has a lot of contact, he follows several professor-level researchers every day, and he doesn't do anything, just watches from the sidelines, and sometimes helps to get some tools and do some simple data analysis.
In the eyes of outsiders, these are the "miscellaneous" work, which may be helpful to Liu Lang, but it is limited to small problems in the internal structure, and the real core is hidden in the experimental, surveying and mapping data, and the analysis of these data needs to go through a large number of basic data feedback, the basic data are provided by General Motors, and it is useless without the support of these data.
But these are just for ordinary people, but not for Liu Lang, first of all, his current academic level is no less than those engineers, or even higher, and the analysis level of his brain has exceeded ordinary people too much: as long as Liu Lang is given a little clue, he can deduce the cause and effect of the whole thing, and there are a lot of clues hidden in those data, relying on these Liu Lang can gradually launch a General Motors engine of various parameters and indicators .........!
Liu Lang soaked in Professor Claire's laboratory every day, running before and after like a "pistachio", chatting with everyone about the interesting stories of the "Voice of America" program, and sometimes revealing some secrets that others did not know, such as he told everyone that Adeis was about to release a single, and this single would be popular all over the United States.
It would be big news if the news was known by gossip reporters, but the labs were all engineers, and they were very interested in the news, but they never thought of using it to make money.
Therefore, Liu Lang's existence has brought a lot of fun to everyone's dull work, and he himself is crazy to absorb knowledge, so that his ability can improve rapidly.
