Chapter 116, Research Center

In recent years, although the factories in which the shares have developed very well, but, to tell the truth, all the factories have not invested much in scientific and technological research. All factories think of introducing capital technology and equipment to expand production, and they are not enthusiastic about spending a lot of money on researching new technologies, and even think that it is a waste. Since the factories are all joint ventures, Shu Yue said that it doesn't matter, and scientific research is basically at a standstill. Therefore, the scientific research center can only be established by the group company itself.

The Digital Research Center researches software and digital control, and the Materials Research Center researches new materials and processes, which are the directions of scientific and technological development.

As for the chemical industry, they have decided not to enter the industry since the poison gas leak in India last year.

The Digital and Materials Centers, each with a head, are senior researchers working on research in the field. The two have been engaged in related industries for a long time, know many peers, and after being hired, they began to visit their peers and form a research team.

"The future direction of the research center is first of all to keep track of foreign advanced technology, and first of all, to achieve import substitution step by step. It's much easier to follow the path of others and have someone else's guidance. In this way, we not only make money, but also save foreign exchange for the country, and also cultivate scientific research experience; the second step is to catch up with and surpass our foreign counterparts. Shu Yue said at the ceremony of the establishment of the research center, "Of course, my requirements are not high, and when I retire, I will be satisfied if I can catch up with my foreign counterparts." ”

To tell the truth, there is a very big difference between domestic science and technology and foreign countries, from equipment to technology, there is a difference of more than two generations. Now that science is developing faster and faster, it is not a matter of time for you to catch up.

"With such good experimental conditions, we will definitely work hard and strive for early results. ”

"The birth of each new material is explored step by step through countless tests, and the numerical control system also needs to be studied and designed step by step. Therefore, take your time step by step, lay a good foundation first, and then have research topics. What aerospace materials, chips, a few decades later, if our country's rockets and space stations have the parts we provide, then we will succeed. Shu Yue first stabilized everyone's emotions, and then looked forward to the future and set goals for everyone.

Shu Yue didn't expect the latter words to make everyone even more excited. The United States has space shuttles, space stations, and the same goes for the Soviet Union, they have already sent people into space. In comparison, our country is too far behind, and now it is only able to launch satellites. So, after listening to Shu Yue's words, I began to fantasize.

Li Ya doesn't often come to a whimsical outlook when he is at home, so Shu Yue casually said about the rocket space station, and he didn't think there was anything, but Li Ya said "My dream is to mine on the moon".

Going to the moon to mine has not been realized after more than 30 years, and it is just a matter of taking some minerals and doing research. However, if there are self-produced parts for rockets, space stations, and lunar landers in the future, it will be worth being proud of for a lifetime!

Industry is the strong foundation of a country, and only when industry develops can the country be stable and the people become rich. A country, especially a large country with a large population like ours, cannot become rich by farming, and it cannot defend the country's advanced armed forces by playing with finance, and everything lies in developing its own industry.

"Our country's machine tool enterprises produce traditional machine tools, and some CNC machine tools in China are imported from abroad. CNC machine tools are simple to operate, which can greatly reduce the workload and improve efficiency. CNC machine tools have been popularized in Western countries, and we have to catch up, which requires a large number of CNC machine tools. If we can't produce it domestically and import it all, how much foreign exchange will we need? How many agricultural products and handicrafts will we have to sell and how many oil and minerals will we have to exchange for these foreign exchanges?" Shu Yue said, "Also, the same is true for new materials. Speaking of special steel alone, there is no domestic one, or the output is very small, and it needs to spend a considerable amount of foreign exchange imports every year. How many eggs do you have to sell for all this foreign exchange to get it back?"

"These can still be imported, and there are those that can't. The Paris Coordinating Committee has existed for decades, and our country has always been on the blacklist of the Paris Coordinating Committee, and our country cannot buy some strategic materials and high technology if they want to. For example, five-axis machine tools, which cannot be bought in our country, are the same in the USSR. Shu Yue sighed, "So, your task is very important." ”

"Of course, things have to be done step by step, and you don't have to be too stressed. Shu Yue saw that everyone was serious, and said with a smile, "Compared with Western countries, the gap between us and Western countries exists objectively, so my requirements are not high." As long as we can solve the low-end technology within a few years, accumulate experience, train the team, and then hit the mid-to-high-end, and strive to catch up with each other in 20 years. ”

"Boss, hearing you say that, we're under more pressure. A middle-aged technician said. They are not like young technicians who are not afraid of tigers when they are newborn calves, they have been engaged in related industries for many years and clearly understand the gap between the two sides.

"It's good to have pressure! Don't they all say, 'The well does not produce oil without pressure, and the people are light and fluttering without pressure,'" said an old technician, "There is pressure, there is motivation." ”

Time flickered, into May, the uncle had begun to prepare to open a second restaurant, and the production and sales of the furniture factory bought by several cousins were also doing very well, at this time Li Ya received a call from Gates after many turnarounds, asking Li Ya to go to Microsoft to hold a company listing meeting.

A few years ago, I took a stake in Microsoft, and gave another suggestion, and now Microsoft is developing very well, and this time I invited Li Ya to go over to a meeting, which is to prepare for the meeting for Microsoft's listing next year.

Investing in Microsoft is Li Ya's best business so far. After going public, the value of Microsoft's stock will become higher and higher, reaching more than $500 billion by the end of the century, and the stock in Li Ya's hands is worth tens of billions of dollars, and his life will reach its peak.

Therefore, Li Ya has never worried about making money, and he can make a lot of money by pulling out a few pieces of information in his head. The Three-North Shelterbelt Project, as well as the investment in education, Li Ya has never donated less.

At dinner, Li Ya told Shu Yue about Microsoft's upcoming IPO preparation meeting.

Such a meeting, only Li Ya can go, Shu Yue must go. She thought for a while and said, "It's just right to take the experts from the research center to inspect it, learn about the cutting-edge technology of foreign countries, and talk about the imported technology by the way." ”

"This time to go to the United States, the time is not short, you can spend some time to recruit some talents back, technical talents, management talents can be, the more the better. Shu Yue then added.

"It's up to you. Li Ya said, "But foreigners are afraid that they are willing to work in China, and there are also international students who go out of China." If you are an international student going out of China, even if you do not join our company, as long as you are willing to return to China for development, we can also provide start-up capital. ”

When the research center received Shu Yue's notice, they were all very excited. You can go to the United States for field trips, everyone wants to go. However, the number of places is limited, and three people from each of the three age groups can choose three, and a research team can only go to nine.

"Don't fight, this is just the first time to go abroad, and there will be more opportunities in the future. Liu Zhilong, director of the digital center, said.

The plane landed in Los Angeles, and the people from the American branch of the trading company came to pick up the plane and send the group directly to the hotel to rest.

After that, the trip will be separated, Li Ya and the others will go north to Washington State to have a meeting at Microsoft, and Director Liu will inspect California, and then they will go east, and the two sides will meet in New York.

It was Paul who came to pick up the plane, and when he saw Li Ya coming out, he happily gave Li Ya a bear hug and said with a smile: "Li, I'm so happy to see you! Bill was preparing for the meeting, and I knew that he was here to pick you up, so he took the initiative to come." ”

Li Ya broke away from Paul's hug and complained, "Paul, is it to show your tallness when you meet? ”

"Isn't it exciting to see you!" Paul laughed, "You know what? Although my illness is still not cured, the disease is under control, and as long as it does not get sick, I look like a normal person. As he spoke, he bent his arms and showed his biceps to show that he was strong.
