Chapter 180 Commissioned Research

When he left the fishing village of Chek Lap Kok, Li Haichuan was full of red light, he was not a fisherman with outstanding skills in the village, his father and mother died early, there was no brother to support, except for a broken fishing boat left by his father, the family can be said to be empty. Even his wife, Liu Huili, picked it up on the side of the road when she went to sell fish

Later, Li Haichuan capsized in the sea and luckily picked up a life. When the boat sank, he could no longer continue to fish for a living, so he had to go to the city to earn a living. Li Haichuan's biggest advantage is that he is willing to endure hardships, as long as he can make money to support his family, he is willing to work no matter how hard he works. By working as porters in a garment factory, he and his wife single-handedly raised the family's three children.

The second son, Li Xuan, has always had good grades in school since he was a child, and many of the workers who work together said that Li Haichuan will definitely be able to enjoy this son's blessings in the future. His initial wish was that Li Xuan could be admitted to university, and after graduation, he could find a well-paid job, and not rely on hard work to earn money like himself.

But Li Haichuan never dreamed that his son would one day become a billionaire. He didn't know many words, he had a hard time reading a newspaper, and he had never spent money to buy a newspaper before. But now the Li family has subscribed to all the newspapers and newspapers in Hong Kong, and as long as there is news about Li Xuan, he will ask the servants to mark it out and read it to him.

Li Xuan rarely talks about work in front of his parents, Li Haichuan only knew that his second son was out of business, let the family move from a simple public house to a spacious large suite, and bought a single-family mansion on the top of Taiping Peak in a blink of an eye, but he had no specific concept of Li Xuan's wealth.

It wasn't until Li Haichuan saw in the newspaper that the companies under his son Li Xuan's name were worth more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars, that he was blinded all of a sudden. Especially after that, there was an attempted kidnapping on his son Li Xuan. During that time, he couldn't sleep all night, and he didn't know whether he was excited or panicked. He couldn't imagine that he had been poor for the first half of his life. Five billion is such a big pile of money.

He even wondered if his son was really the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, how could the son who didn't talk much in the past be so powerful all of a sudden? Li Haichuan slowly became numb, he only knew that the whole family would definitely have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Today, returning to the fishing village of Chek Lap Kok, where he used to live, Li Haichuan is even more emotional. In the past, those peers in the village who were more skilled than him were still worried about their livelihoods, but now he only needs to play mahjong and yo-yo birds every day, and he can do whatever he wants. Life's chances are really elusive!

"Dad, this yacht is often empty anyway, if you are happy in the future, you can also drive it out to sea to fish!" Li Xuan saw his father looking at the blue water. I thought he remembered his previous fishing experience again, and couldn't help laughing.

"You said lightly, the fish I caught at sea is not enough for the fuel money of your boat!" Li Haichuan shook his head disagreeingly and said.

Li Haichuan's old thinking is used, in some people's words, it is an upstart born with mud legs, and the mud on his trouser legs has not had time to wipe it clean. Li Xuan smiled lightly, he didn't think that his father was disgraced by saying this, which was a shame on him, a rich man.

Wealthy style. The Li family is not an aristocracy, and they don't need those red tape pomp to cover up their birth. His family became rich overnight and had no wealthy background. There is no need for a wealthy background, as long as the whole family feels comfortable.

"Poof!" Daughter Li Ying heard her father's words on the side, but she couldn't hold back her laughter. "Dad, you're really an antique! Second brother is letting you go to sea by boat to go out to play. By the way, fishing and fishing spice up. Who needs your fish to pay for the oil!"

"What's so fun in the sea, except that the sea is salty. It's better to play a few rounds of mahjong!" Li Haichuan said disapprovingly, in his concept, going to sea is to fish, and that is by no means a fun job.

"Alas, I can't communicate with you!" Li Ying stroked her forehead, a little speechless about her father's old thoughts. However, she quickly rolled her eyes and smiled sweetly at Li Ke on the side, "Big brother, did you hear it, Dad is asking what's so fun about going to sea? Don't you like going to sea very much lately, why don't you explain it to Dad!"

Hmph, tell you to go to sea with a large group of handsome men and beautiful women in three days, and you still refuse to take me, Li Ying snorted softly in her heart.

It's a pity that Li Ke pretended not to hear it when he heard it, and deliberately didn't answer his sister's words. He simply turned his head out the window, as if admiring the distant view of the sea. Li Ke has been very happy recently, going out to take his younger brother to drive a luxury car, the female companion around him is faster than changing clothes, and he has a lot of fun at night, far more wealthy than his younger brother Li Xuan, a real trench.

"Ah Xuan, it's not easy for your seventh uncle, if you can help, you can help them!" Li Haichuan suddenly sighed softly and said to his son.

"Dad, as the saying goes, Shengmien fights Mi Hate, I'm afraid that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. After all, we are not related to them, so it would be good to stop in moderation! After all, everyone's path depends on their own struggle!" Li Xuan said undeniably.

The impact of the listing of Aikang Computer Company is multifaceted, and it is not only those old neighbors in Chek Lap Kok who are eyeing Li Xuan. After reading the newspaper, ordinary Hong Kong citizens just had a little more new talk after dinner, and occasionally sighed why they couldn't give birth to such a powerful son. But for some people, the weight of Li Xuan and the Oriental company in their hearts must go up a few steps.

Thousands of kilometers away from Hong Kong, a meeting room at the Ministry of Education in Beijing is filled with smoke, and Minister Li Haisheng is chairing a discussion on a topic. Hong Kong's Hong Kong and Macao Working Committee sent several telegrams in succession, urging the previous reply to the previous report on the cooperation project between Hong Kong Oriental Real and mainland universities to carry out commissioned scientific research cooperation.

The full name of the Hong Kong and Macao Working Committee is the Hong Kong and Macao Working Committee, and it and the Hong Kong Xinhua Branch are actually two brands. The president and vice president of the Hong Kong Xinhua Branch concurrently serve as secretary and deputy secretary of the Working Committee, and lead the united front work of the party and the central government in Hong Kong and Macao in a unified manner. It was not until after the return of Hong Kong and Macao that the Hong Kong and Macao Working Committee was spun off from the Xinhua Branch in Hong Kong and renamed the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, referred to as the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government.

The Hong Kong and Macao workers' committees, which work in the name of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency, shoulder the heavy responsibility of carrying out united front work in Hong Kong entrusted by the central government. In addition to publicizing the policies of the Party and the Central Committee to ordinary Hong Kong citizens, influential people from all walks of life in Hong Kong are the focus of the Hong Kong and Macao Working Committee's united front work. If united front work wants to achieve results, choosing the right path and doing what it likes is naturally the most effective method.

The wealth effect brought by the listing of Aikang Computer Company made Li Xuan suddenly promoted to one of the super-rich people in Xiangjiang. To this end, the Hong Kong and Macao Working Committee held a special internal meeting to discuss the work arrangements for the newly wealthy man. Li Xuan and his Oriental company have little connection to the mainland. Although the production and sales of various subsidiaries within the Oriental Group are very prosperous, Li Xuan is more cautious about his investment in the mainland and has no intention of setting up factories in the mainland.

The only Oriental enterprise that has intersections with the mainland is the Oriental Real Yàn room. Not long ago, it conveyed to the mainland through the Xinhua News Agency its intention to carry out academic and scientific research exchanges and cooperation with domestic scientific research institutions. After the Xinhua News Agency conveyed their intentions to the relevant departments in the mainland, some of them received a positive response, while others did not hear from them.

Among them, the Dongfang Shi Yàn Office, which hopes to carry out commissioned scientific research cooperation with mainland universities, has been pressed by the Ministry of Education without reply. Now, under the urging of the Hong Kong Xinhua Branch several times, Minister Li Haisheng decided to convene a party committee to discuss and study.

"I don't agree with them to engage in any commissioned scientific research, the Dongfang Shi Yàn Office is nominally a scientific research academic institution, but in fact it is the capital consortium that is behind the control! Our university has put a lot of energy into tackling key scientific research problems, but the final results have been handed over to others, what is the difference between this and selling the country to seek glory!" This is a fierce objection.

"Lao Hu, this kind of remnant of the 'Cultural Revolution' ideology with class struggle as the key link is unacceptable! How can our equal and reciprocal trading with others have anything to do with betraying the country for glory? You also said that people are capitalists, not philanthropists, and they want to get a return for their money and equipment, and this reward is the result of scientific research, or in foreign terms, it is a patent.

After we have completed the entrusted scientific research tasks proposed by the other party, all the scientific research equipment will belong to us, and this transaction will not be a loss! Not to mention the fact that the country is in economic difficulties, and everyone here must know how much scientific research funds are allocated to various colleges and universities every year. I don't know how many researchers have broken their legs in order to apply for thousands of dollars!

The state has always encouraged the attraction of foreign investment, so why don't we have to respond to the call of the central authorities in the field of education? Even if the results of scientific research belong to others, how many talented people can we train from them?" This is an opinion that I agree.

Minister Li Haisheng frowned tightly, listening to various opinions for and against, and had been a little hesitant. He has always been cautious in his work, preferring to take a slower step than to make a mistake by taking too big a step.

This commissioned research plan was put forward by the Hong Kong side last time when the ministry organized a delegation of university presidents to visit two universities in Hong Kong. The presidents of several universities in China agree that the entire higher education system has been the hardest hit area in the turmoil of the past decade, and it has been a mess.

Although universities have resumed enrollment, there are too many things that have fallen in the lost decade, and the funds given by the state can only maintain normal classes, and the funds for scientific research are very limited.

Now that there is suddenly an opportunity to use Hong Kong funds to engage in scientific research, how can the presidents of those universities be willing to let it go? For example, Tsinghua University is a vice-ministerial-level university, and the influence of the Ministry of Education on it is actually very limited. Li Hai was afraid that if he suppressed it any longer, those principals would directly ignore the Ministry of Education and report to the top, so that his future work would be very passive.
