Chapter 255: Between Gains and Losses

When Zhou Shuo entered the door, Wu Hao already didn't know where to go. Clearly, the old man saw this dialogue as a process of reciprocal negotiations. Wu Hao, who has a close relationship with Zhou Shuo, is inconvenient to appear here.

Under the arrangement of the secretary, Zhou Shuoan sat opposite the old man's desk. In the early autumn of September, the sun shines brightly, illuminating the office in detail.

Zhou Shuo looked at the old man opposite, his age was obviously not young. Probably in your 60s, or in your 50s? In short, it is always difficult for you to determine the age of a person in a high position. However, the temperament of the old man is not like a politician, but more like a scholar. Gentle and calm, sitting in front of him makes people very relaxed, and does not feel any pressure at all.

Not only Zhou Shuo was looking at the old man, but the old man was also looking at Zhou Shuo. He nodded and said with a smile: "You are Zhou Shuo, right?" I've also heard of it for a long time, and it's true that I'm a talent. ”

"You've won the prize, where did I get some big name." Zhou Shuo smiled embarrassedly, shook his head and said, "I have admired you for a long time, but when I was studying, I always listened to your deeds to encourage myself to study hard." ”

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business." The old man said: "I asked you to come, mainly to discuss a matter with you." Your breakthrough in graphene manufacturing method, I saw it in the paper. It's a rare and good paper in China, but I took it down, and I hope you don't get angry. ”

Zhou Shuo nodded and said solemnly: "Since you have done this, there must be a reason." As long as it is beneficial to the development of graphene technology, I am willing to cooperate with the requirements of the country. ”

The requirement to postpone the publication of papers on the results of large-scale preparation of graphene. Zhou Shuo is mentally prepared. In the past, China's graphene industry developed rapidly under the great attention of the state. Although in meteorological precipitation and other high-tech fields. Due to the problem of accumulation, it lags behind the world. But at that time, China was still the world's largest graphene producer.

This also fully shows that China does not want to catch up with the trend of the world in science and technology. But I haven't been able to find an opportunity to cut in. The physical properties of graphene determine that it is likely to be the basic material for the next generation of integrated circuits. Such a valuable technique, and importantly, it is still in the forefront of the international market, so it is not difficult to imagine how the scientific and technological community has obtained such a treasure.

The old man was obviously very satisfied with Zhou Shuo's reaction, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, graphene is a good breakthrough direction, and the country will not let it go." I have taken down your paper in order to write the development of graphene into the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and I have made preliminary preparations. ”

"Join the Ninth Five-Year Plan!" Zhou Shuo was really taken aback. He really didn't expect to make such a big move by himself.

If the development of graphene can be included in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it means that the development of this technology has been raised to a political level. A large number of funds, talents and technical resources will inevitably promote the rapid maturity of this technology. But it also means that Zhou Shuo will lose some control of the graphene project.

However, although the redox method can control the production scale and cost of graphene to an acceptable level, its purity, quality and environmental protection are very problematic. Even if he gave up this technique, it wouldn't be a big deal for Zhou Shuo. Because if graphene wants to be put into practical use, the hope for the future is still in physical means such as micromechanical stripping and meteorological precipitation.

In this regard, Zhou Shuo is confident that he will not lose to anyone.

"How is it, are you reluctant?" The old man pulled out a cigarette. Xiang Zhou Shuo shook it and asked, "Come, smoke." ”

Let the old man hand himself a cigarette, this face is too big. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry." I don't smoke. ”

"I'm stupid!" As soon as he said this, Zhou Shuo almost slapped himself without regrets, how could he say that to the big leader? You don't smoke it. As for refusing it in person.

The old man was stunned, but instead laughed and said, "Okay." It's good not to smoke! Young people smoke less, which is good for themselves and others. ”

Apparently. Zhou Shuo's sincerity made the old man's impression of him increase a lot. He put away his cigarette and asked kindly, "Okay, let's get down to business." The state is not unreasonable, and it can't let you suffer losses in vain, what are the requirements? ”

Zhou Shuo pondered for a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "Speaking of which, I do have a request, please give me a chance to compete fairly in the organization." At present, Fanhan Group already has a monocrystalline silicon production plant, and I hope to continue to improve the semiconductor industry in my hand and develop into the front-end process of integrated circuits. Looking at the domestic wafer fabs, I think the 908 project is a good choice. ”

"Project 908?" The old man thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Yes. Xihuajing, right? You have a lot of appetite. ”

Not. Xihuajing is currently the only wafer factory project in China, and it is not surprising that Jane is in Dixin. What's more, at this time in history, the high-level is also considering the issue of the 909 project, and the 908 project will naturally have more opportunities to be mentioned.

The old man thought silently for a moment, then slowly shook his head and sighed.

"It's a good thing that a little comrade has ambitions, but the 908 project is related to the overall strategy of the country's semiconductor industry. At present, the strength of our country's private enterprises is not enough, and if you want to take over the 908 project, I think - you have to think about it again. ”

Although the failure of the 908 project at the top is already a fact that has been recognized. However, whether it will be handed over to foreign capital, restructured or sold to individuals is fashionable and inconclusive. The above original plan was indeed taken over by China Resources, but today, when Shanghua Technology Company changed hands, whether there are still state-owned enterprises that can continue to carry out the project, the relevant departments are also actively studying.

For the summary of the 908 project, it has been almost carried out at this time. Historically, it was on the basis of summing up the lessons of the 908 Project that the central government put forward a series of reform proposals for the 909 Project, such as expanding investment and expanding autonomy. Referring to the direction of the 909 project, the transformation of the 908 project is naturally on the agenda.

It should be said that the original private enterprises taking over the 908 project were not considered by the higher-level units. On the one hand, the investment in wafer factories is huge, and there are not many private companies in China that can have such a large strength. Second, the integrated circuit industry is too professional, and it is not suitable for non-professional companies to rush in.

Even if someone can afford it, the state will have to consider whether it can be viable. If it was not long after I bought it, the main body of the project ended without a problem. Even if the country does not suffer losses on the books, the impact on the development of the industry is very huge. After all, whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, to put it bluntly, it is the meat in the domestic pot, and if the investment fails, the national economy will definitely have an impact.

It is also the most unacceptable for policymakers at this stage. After all, more than 200 million yuan was invested before and after the 908 project, which can definitely be regarded as a large-scale project. Such a private enterprise resource is most abandoned after it is wasted, which will definitely cause a certain obstacle to the current environment of grasping the big and letting go of the small and the country retreating and the people advancing.

So when Zhou Shuo proposed that he wanted to take over the 908 project, the old man had to make a decision to think about it again after a while.

Of course, this reaction was not unexpected. If the state can hand over the project to him so quickly, it will be abnormal. This does not mean that he has to give up his plan to take over the 908 Project, but he must prove that he has the ability to continue the 908 Project.

Only by showing this strength can he stand on the same starting line as other state-owned enterprises or foreign capital.

Since this is the case, Zhou Shuo had to temporarily retreat to the second. Make a request that is both important and not so difficult to do. Fortunately, the previous difficult request has been rejected, and emotionally speaking, the latter request is easier to pass.

Zhou Shuo said sincerely: "You know, although Xiucheng has obtained the project ownership of the software park. However, the educational resources of Xiucheng itself are not abundant, so I have been planning to build a computer science university in Xiucheng. ”

"Private universities?" The old man smiled and nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, you can invest in education, which is a good thing." As long as you can pass the review of the Ministry of Education, I think this university can be opened. ”

In 1995, education was not the kind of money-making business that later generations, universities did not expand their enrollment, and standards such as tuition fees and accommodation were also stipulated by the state. Private colleges and universities are not only difficult to make money, but on the contrary, it is still a money-losing errand if they don't get it right.

Zhou Shuo said with some embarrassment: "That's the case, I have reached a cooperation with Bohai University to build a branch campus before. But the conditions of Xiucheng itself may not be able to support such a school......"

The old man waved his hand forcefully and interrupted Zhou Shuo's words: "This can't work, you have to be responsible for running a school." If you don't have enough qualifications, of course the school can't run it. ”

Zhou Shuo hurriedly explained: "So I hope to be able to recruit a group of professors in the scientific research institutes of the imperial capital, and introduce a group of foreign teachers from the United States." In this regard, I hope to be able to count on the support of the State. ”

The old man was stunned, obviously not expecting that he had misunderstood what Zhou Shuo meant. He nodded in a deep voice and said, "That's ...... I think so. It is a good thing to run education, and our country's scientific research system is now in difficulty, and I think it is good that you can solve the employment problem of a group of scientific and technological talents. ”

"As for foreign teachers, the state naturally has relevant laws and regulations to manage them. It's your ability to invite you, and there's no reason why you shouldn't be allowed to recruit talents. ”

Zhou Shuo smiled when he heard this, nodded violently and said, "With your words, I dare to let it go." (To be continued......)
