However, Liu Haipeng changed the topic, but did not say what it was, but asked: "What kind of business does your software company plan to engage in in the future?" We don't have much software demand in China. ”

Not to mention much, in terms of the domestic piracy environment, it can be regarded as barren at all. In 1994, Qiu Bojun, the leader of China's first generation of programmers, had just founded Kingsoft Computer Company and was still struggling. Many of the future IT figures have not even finished their studies, and their good times are still far away.

"We are ready to work with Microsoft to develop instant messaging software and web browsers." Zhou Shuo thought for a moment and added: "The main target is the American market. ”

"The U.S. market?" Liu Haipeng asked with great interest: "The skills of the Americans are very advanced, are you confident?" ”

Zhou Shuo said with confidence: "The Internet in the United States has just started, and there are actually only those things in terms of technology, and what is more a test is the grasp of the market. With the support of Microsoft, I have the courage to give it a try. ”

"Network!" Liu Haipeng nodded and said: "This thing is still very promising, our country has also accessed the Internet this year, but what can be done with this thing is still inconclusive." ”

To be honest, the Internet, as a new thing, was even promoted by private companies in China in the early days. It is precisely because of the uncertainty of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications about the future of the Internet that the promotion of the Internet in China has been slow, which has led to the glory of the first Internet access service provider, Yinghaiwei.

Zhou Shuo listened to his tone and seemed to be unsatisfied, and asked, "Is the Science and Technology Commission also interested in the Internet?" ”

Liu Haipeng said with a smile: "My professional direction is not here, but there is still research in this area in the province." The sixty-four institutes in your embroidery city are the famous network and software research institutes in the province. ”

Zhou Shuo was stunned, the 64th Institute is not just a software research institute, it is a large-scale research institute with optoelectronic technology and information technology as its main research direction. There are thirteen laboratories, and the software laboratory is just one of them.

He asked puzzledly: "Of course, the amount of technical power of the sixty-four institutes is one of the best, and Director Liu means ......."

Liu Haipeng said seductively: "What's the matter, your software company is still short of manpower, but we have a lot of good people in the sixty-four institutes." Based on your relationship with Microsoft, if you can guarantee $10 million a year in the export of science and technology, I can seconded you the relevant personnel of the 64th Institute. ”

Zhou Shuo scratched his head, raised a finger and asked, "Ten million a year?" ”

"Dollars! Of course, the secondee's salary is also paid by you. Liu Haipeng added.

Zhou Shuo couldn't cry or laugh, this is what Liu Haipeng said, please ask him for a favor. This is not a small favor, 10 million US dollars of high-tech export achievements, Yu Shunshui can give him the right to import and export because of a million US dollars of political achievements, and now he can understand Liu Haipeng's request. After all, at the provincial level, a million dollars is too small, even if it is a poor yamen like the Science and Technology Commission, the political achievements of 10 million US dollars have just been able to make a splash.

Not to mention that it can also solve the problem of funding for the 64 software laboratories by the way, and when the Science and Technology Commission itself is not enough, it would be good for the scientific research units to be half-dead, and it would be a small supplement to the 64 institutes by saving the salaries of the software laboratory personnel.

"It's not impossible for this secondee. But I'm more inclined to recruit programmers from the community, after all, it is clearer in terms of jurisdiction and property rights. Moreover, we also have a computer class at a high school, so it is not a problem to train programmers. Zhou Shuo pretended to be embarrassed and said, of course, this is just a bargaining technique. When it comes to software, programmers are always doing more.

Liu Haipeng said nonchalantly: "Of course, you have complete jurisdiction over the people sent over, and any fruits of their labor and intellectual property rights also belong to you." If you can guarantee the export of 10 million US dollars a year in science and technology, you will be able to use all the personnel, equipment, and technical accumulation of the 64 institutes in this area! ”

After a pause, Liu Haipeng then said bitterly: "You should have heard of the research ability of the 64th Institute, and there are many major scientific and technological achievements in history. These outstanding technical talents are now doing nothing almost every day, and their professional ability will inevitably decline in the long run. If you want to keep these precious seeds of skill, you must constantly have projects for them to do. I just hope to keep a little bit of science and technology for the country, so that I won't be left too far behind by the Americans in the future......"

Zhou Shuo sighed when he heard this: "Okay, if the Science and Technology Commission can promise that the Sixty-Four Institute will never interfere with my operation and management, and has full authority over personnel, I can agree." ”

Don't think that the government's support for the pursuit of political achievements is necessarily a good thing, the Giant Group is not far away. Didn't Shi Yuzhu get strong support from the local government? The outcome is self-evident. It is best to develop enterprises step by step, and the pressure of blind expansion will even lead to the closure of enterprises with good profitability. Zhou Shuo had to take precautions in advance and speak ahead. We must not sacrifice control over the enterprise because of the people who used the 64 institutes.

And Liu Haipeng, on his side, really wants to open up a situation in terms of software.

In 1994, Bohai Province was almost blank for high-tech exports. This once heavy industry base is now exporting the majority of light chemical products. Although the export volume is not small, the added value of the product is pitiful, and it is profitable to rely on cheap labor.

But the development of science and technology in a province can not stop, and for him, the appearance of Zhou Shuo is almost a ray of light. As long as a breakthrough in the export of high-tech technology products can be achieved, any attempt is beneficial.

Or rather, it can't get worse.

Fortunately, Zhou Shuo finally agreed. The export of high-tech technology of 10 million US dollars to earn foreign exchange can finally make Bohai Province not too ugly in terms of data. Liu Haipeng even thought in his heart that if the difference is not too much, it is not impossible to use some means to make the numbers up at that time.

When he heard that Zhou Shuo agreed so simply, he was overjoyed and said, "Not bad! He is worthy of being a young man, who dares to carry heavy burdens and has a sense of the overall situation! ”

He paused, patted his chest and continued: "Don't worry, the matter of import and export rights has been handed over to me, no, I will give up this old face and find the vice governor to cry!" ”

Zhou Shuole said: "Then it's all up to you!" ”

Speaking of which, the downfall of the Science and Technology Commission has been going on for the past few years, and it is almost impossible to change it to the Ministry of Science and Technology, and then let a provincial and department-level cadre die so hard for the sake of his political achievements of 10 million US dollars.

However, after all, Liu Haipeng was not asked to sell his old face, and the Department of Commerce miraculously approved Zhou Shuo's independent import and export rights within two days, and the special affairs completed all the links. This even frightened Liu Haipeng, he didn't think that the Science and Technology Committee had such a big face, and he didn't want to owe He Xi such a big favor. When he personally went to the business hall to ask for an explanation, he was beaten back by an official voice who didn't know what to do.

In the next day, Zhou Shuo knew that this result was also confusing to the second monk. However, the risk of default was finally avoided, which made him greatly relieved.

As soon as he returned to Xiucheng and handed over the export matter to Liu Gang, Zhou Shuo rushed to the sixty-four institutes.

If you're not in a hurry, the export task of 10 million dollars is not a big mountain, but it's almost there. Maybe the instant messaging and browser business development is worth far more than 10 million dollars, but you can't sell your shares for dollars back when the time comes, right? Therefore, this money is destined to be found outside the plan.

Yu Shunshui, director of the Xiucheng Science and Technology Commission, personally sent Zhou Shuo to the sixty-four institutes.

Huang Shi, director of the 64th Institute, and Mu Yi, director of the computer software laboratory, organized a group of people to wait at the door early to greet them.

Without waiting for Zhou Shuo to walk over, Director Huang Shi strode over, grabbed his hand excitedly and said, "Principal Zhou, we are looking forward to it!" In order to ensure the completion of the breakthrough of 10 million US dollars, we have decided that someone will contribute and make a strong contribution to support you to complete the export task! ”

I can't help but be excited, no matter how successful the task of 10 million dollars is, the 64th Institute will always be able to get some benefits. It's a pie-in-the-sky thing, who wouldn't be positive when they encounter it.

In contrast, Mu Yi, director of the software laboratory, was a little cold. He lined up behind Huangshi and shook hands with Zhou Shuo, and said lightly: "Welcome." Then he stepped aside.

Zhou Shuo smiled, he wanted to borrow other people's subordinates, and the director of the dignified laboratory became the commander of the light pole, and he was not allowed to resist a little bit.

He got to know several deputy directors of the software lab and a group of researchers and assistant researchers, and their attitudes were even more enthusiastic.

The researchers even took his hand and asked, "You are the million-dollar Principal Zhou, right?" ”

"That weekly million in the newspaper?"

"Principal Zhou, did you really give your million dollars to the students?"

Zhou Shuo sweated profusely, Zhou Million's nickname was not good, and he hurriedly stopped the conversation: "Don't crowd at the gate, let's go in and talk about something, go in first!" ”

Mu Yi saw this scene, but sighed slightly. The institute is almost out of the pot, since someone can pay a salary, this little resistance of his own is really meaningless, more like a child playing a temper.

A group of people happily entered the research institute, and Huang Shi took him to visit several laboratories with great interest.

In Zhou Shuo's memory, the 64 electronic technology groups that were later assigned to the Ministry of Information Industry are also outstanding in scientific research capabilities, and have produced many well-known achievements in the industry. Of course, that would be at least 2,000 years later, when the country was prosperous.

Zhou Shuo walked and walked, suddenly stunned, and asked, "Hey, why is she here?" ”
