Chapter 109: No Settles
As the cradle of China's science and technology, they lead the development of China's science and technology at a time when science and technology are lacking and many systems are still to be improved.
It is not the first time that Li Yadong of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has come here, because of Ni Guanglan's matter, he came to ask for someone once. Of course, it is precisely because of this incident that some leaders in it don't seem to be very interested in him.
Think about it to understand the reason, the major shareholder behind Lenovo is the Chinese Academy of Sciences, you poached the chief engineer of Lenovo, and brought the senior officials of the Ministry of Commerce over together, a bit of a holy decree, can they be strong?
At that time, they should not have known Liu Chuanzhi's true thoughts, and they had no intention of developing technology at all. To be honest, people in the Chinese Academy of Sciences still attach more importance to technological development.
Of course, they also have an eye on money.
Sometimes it's a dilemma, and there is no doubt that Liu Chuanzhi finally convinced them, so Lenovo embarked on a trade path.
So, market your product to a group of people who don't like you very much...... Objectively speaking, this matter is still very difficult.
On the way from home to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Li Yadong and Miss Su temporarily put aside their personal feelings and turned into a standard relationship between superiors and subordinates.
There are only a few companies participating in the competition, Cisco, ATT, Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, NTT, and Li Yadong think the same, but each of them is a global communications giant.
Compared with them, realistically speaking, Vitron Technology has no advantage at all.
At least on the surface.
Therefore, Miss Su's expression was very solemn, and with two subordinates, she followed Li Yadong into the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences without saying a word.
She is under a lot of pressure, from many aspects, one is that the company urgently needs a profit, and the other is to carry the expectations of the company's scientific researchers - after all, after a lot of hard work to develop the product, if it can't be marketed, it can't be used in the market, just like the batch of plastic mold models placed on the company's commemorative shelf only for viewing, there is no fart.
If this bid fails, it will have a serious impact on the company's good R&D momentum.
There are many more aspects......
Li Yadong may not be very popular here, but as a leading figure in China's business community and a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, he still has the ability to contact the bidding team for a meeting.
In a conference room on the second floor, when Li Yadong and his entourage walked in under the guidance of the staff, they were already seated inside.
There are several Li Yadong who can even shout their names, all of whom are authoritative figures in the field of national science and technology.
This can also show how much importance they attach to China's first Internet architecture project.
"Hello leaders, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting. Li Yadong greeted with a smile.
Of course, he wasn't late, but these people were meeting on the spot and came early.
"Where, where, I waited for about ten days, not a long time. An old man wearing glasses under a wine bottle said with a smile.
If it weren't for the fact that this Vitron Technology came out of nourishment and insisted on participating in the bidding, their bidding work is estimated to have been completed.
It's also quite awesome, and more than one leader above specially greeted him, saying that he must consider this company.
This old man, Li Yadong, knows that a leader of the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a very capable person.
So I didn't care about his cynicism, smiled, and said: "In short, it is indeed presumptuous to participate temporarily, but from the overall situation, this is a good thing, and I hope you will be more considerate." ”
Li Yadong knew that these old pedants were not very easy to serve, and they were not people who could chat with your hippie smile, so he simply omitted some of the routine processes of asking for warmth and went straight to the point.
"Good thing, forgive me for being dizzy, I really don't see it. The old man pouted.
Li Yadong was not angry, motioned for Miss Su and the others to take a seat in the back row, and paced to the front of the oval conference table, intending to single-handedly challenge this group of Chinese science and technology giants.
Of course, he is also the kind of bad old man who is stinky and hard, and who is arrogant and dares not to give face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our products have been delivered earlier, and I believe you have all seen them. Dare to ask everyone, what do you think?" Li Yadong smiled at the corner of his mouth and was humble in his attitude.
Miss Su, they have done some prerequisite work, so he didn't come here this time to explain any technology, and he didn't understand that thing. He's just a standard businessman, and the purpose of his trip is only one - to get a deal.
"General. ”
"It's not outstanding. ”
"It works. ”
"There is still a clear gap with the products of other companies. ”
When asked about this, everyone at the scene did not deliberately belittle, and spoke one after another, seeking truth from facts.
In this regard, Li Yadong has nothing to refute.
He knows that there is indeed an insurmountable gap between Vitron Technology, which is still in its infancy, and several technology giants such as Cisco that have entered a period of rapid development.
No one is born to run, you have to learn to walk first, right?
"If it works, it's fine. He chuckled.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present frowned.
"Mr. Li, you should understand that this is not child's play!"
The one who spoke was an old woman with a Chinese character face with a serious expression.
This person Li Yadong knows him, and he can still call out his name, after all, there are not many female experts in China's top scientific research fields, and this person is one of the best.
Even from a certain level, the starting point of China's Internet development history was set by this person.
She is Hu Qiheng, the current director of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In April this year, after several applications were fruitless, she made a special trip to the United States to visit the "American Natural Science Foundation", which is in charge of the Internet, and reiterated the requirements for accessing the Internet on behalf of the Chinese side.
The efficiency is admirable.
On April 20, 1994, a memorable day, China realized the first TCP/IP full-featured link to the Internet, becoming a member of the Internet family, and marking China's official entry into the Internet era.
In the future, Ma Ali and others should be grateful to this old woman. Without her, China would still be connected to the Internet, but the timing may be skewed, so that the butterfly effect is still unknown.
After all, similar to Ma Ali, he is aiming at the Internet cake is also fast, and the birth of China's Yellow Pages seems to be next year, if China does not have the Internet at that time, then ...... It's not easy to say whether there is Ali Mama in the back.
He may continue to run his own translation agency and will not think about it.
"Of course this is not child's play!" Li Yadong restrained his smile, looked at her deeply, and said, "Dean Hu, believe me, I also know very well what the extraordinary significance of the Internet is. ”
He was even humble in this sentence, just kidding, looking at the whole world, who better knows than him the far-reaching impact that the Internet will have on the whole world?
In this case, then you must understand that our determination to do a good job on the Internet is firm, and there is no idea of compromise. Hu Qiheng's face softened slightly, but he still said categorically.
Li Yadong nodded, agreeing with her point of view, and then said: "Because of this, Vitron Technology is the best choice of the Chinese Academy of Sciences." ”
