Chapter 169: Digging the Headmaster

Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, there are few in the entire Nanbin City.

As the executive deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Zhang Tiecheng still has this political sensitivity, and blurted out: "Hong Kong must be preparing for the recovery of Hong Kong." ”

"Then why don't you directly appoint Siwei and the charter?"

"San'er has been abroad, and he can't even see anyone, how can he be appointed?" Ding Aiguo sighed lightly and continued: "As for Siwei, I heard Xiaoshan say that a vice chairman of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce of Hong Kong had approached him, but he was excused by him on the grounds that he had a lot of affairs and was too busy. And at that time, it was not only proposed that he be a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, but also that he be invited to serve as an adviser on Hong Kong affairs. ”

Chen Shikang frowned and said solemnly: "So the top retreats to the next best thing and appoints Xiaoshan and Wenming?" ”

"That's what I estimated."

Zhang Tiecheng realized the seriousness of the problem and said in a low voice: "Siwei is really, just two titles, and don't get involved in specific work." It's easy to shirk, but it's not so easy to undo the impact. ”

"They may have their own considerations, after all, there is so much investment in Germany, and then they have to invest in the United States, and it is not a bad thing to distance themselves from politics."

"But the roots are in China, in Hong Kong!" Chen Shikang shook his head and said worriedly: "There is also a lot of domestic investment, and Hong Kong will return in a few years, and the direction of this wind will change three times a day, who knows what will become in the future?" ”

Zhang Tiecheng thought so, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "After three years of 'governance and rectification', the overheated economy has stabilized, but I think it is a bit too stable." Call on the people to buy things every day, but who will pay attention? There's a word for what, weakness. Right. It's weakness. The market is weak, and so are the factories. So many enterprises in the city have become 'switch factories', not producing switches, but 'turning on and off'. So many people are unemployed, and they have thought of a new term called 'laid-off'. ”

"Yes," Ding Aiguo sighed, "the domestic problems have not been straightened out, and the newspapers are still reporting those external news as always." What to say about "'Homicide Capital' lives up to its name". Washington had the highest number of homicide deaths in the United States in 1990. To say that the US economy is faltering, the economic performance of this year can even be summarized as 'unstable and difficult'.

Not only in the United States, but also in the United States, there are many titles such as "Japan's banking sector is in trouble", "Canada continues to tighten its grip", and "Western steel industry is in recession". It seems that he wants to explain something, and as if he wants to hide something, there are really no three hundred taels of silver here. ”

The Berlin Wall was torn down, Germany was reunified, the "big brother" Soviet Union came with shocking news every day, and the socialist countries of Eastern Europe fell one after another.

Change became the keynote of this period, and China was washed by the tide of commercialization. In the ideological field, the controversy over whether the surname of reform is "society" or "capital" is raging. Up and down, the wind is blowing, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

All of you here are beneficiaries of reform and opening up, and they have been going to the SEZs every year in the past few years, and they are even more anxious about the capricious political trend in their eyes when they see the rapid changes in their eyes.

Even Gu Hongxia, who was about to go to the Special Economic Zone to hold her grandson, said worriedly: "After so many years of reform and opening up, now we have begun to turn over the old yellow calendar again." The slogan of 'time is money, efficiency is life' has become the target of 'both money and life' and 'more ruthless than capitalists'. ”

"It's not so pessimistic," Zhang Tiecheng pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Isn't there a call for reform in the "Xie F Daily", what does an article say...... If we are still confined to the problem of 'surname society or surname capital', then we can only miss the opportunity, and there is 'how to solve worries, only reform, we must take the attitude of reform, brace our spirits, dare to take risks, dare to be the first in the world, take the road that our predecessors have not walked, and be the 'leader' of reform and opening up. ”

"Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind."

Ding Aiguo sighed again and muttered: "If the west wind really overpowers the east wind, we have nothing to fear, we have been doing the revolution for so many years, there is no merit and hard work, but what about the children? In addition, during this period of time in the district and the bureau, there were some rumors about Lao Tzu playing the red flag of socialism and covering his son to dig a corner of socialism.

Applying for a special zone pass, opening a driving school, and giving them benefits over the years, they really picked up a bowl to eat meat, put down chopsticks and scolded their mother. So I want to quit my job and go to the SAR to help the children watch, after all, I have more experience than them, and if there is a trouble, maybe I can help a little. ”

Since the city set up an office in the special zone, the news that his son has become a big boss has been hyped. In the past few years, he was entrusted with doing things, and the city, bureau, district, and branch bureaus, one after another, some entrusted with the purchase of electrical appliances, and some entrusted with the exchange of foreign exchange, endlessly, naturally could not satisfy everyone.

I was tired of it, and then I didn't help any of them.

The policy is vacillating, it is normal for such rumors to appear, thinking that people are terrible, thinking that it is really nothing to him whether to do this director or not, Zhang Tiecheng agreed: "It's okay to resign, I'll help you talk about the director and the political commissar." ”

He doesn't do it, some people want to do it.

As soon as the news came out, the department-level cadres of the city bureau and several sub-bureaus moved around, and the previous rumors and rumors also disappeared. Without him, the earth rotated, Ding Aiguo didn't do anything, he simply took two months off first, and went to the Special Economic Zone with Gu Hongxia and his mother-in-law Xu Ping, as for the formalities and everything, they were all thrown to Zhang Tiecheng, another in-law.

Politics is everywhere and pervasive.

When the charter re-entered the Chinese University of Hong Kong after a lapse of five years, President Gao was being criticized for accepting the invitation of the central government to serve as an adviser on Hong Kong affairs and to provide advice for the future cause of the return to the motherland.

Many classmates were outraged by his actions, and the graduation ceremony became a denunciation rally, and the students complained, pointing at the college president who looked like a bad old man on the stage and scolding: "Gao Kun is shameful!" ”

"Academics flattering politics is shameless!"

"Four years of principal, nothing has been accomplished, Gao Kun, you step down."

scolded here, clapped and applauded there, and even more than a dozen students rushed to the stage to surround him, stuffing him with a doll of middle school students who had a cover to avoid Y, which meant that the students were all blinded by the school. The scene was in an uproar, but Principal Gao bowed his head alone. Examine the doll with interest. Then he raised his head and smiled innocently. I don't know what he's laughing at.

"It's too much." Guo Junru really wanted to rush up to help Principal Gao out of the siege, but he saw that none of the school directors and professors on the stage moved, and could only watch from a distance with the charter.

To his surprise, instead of showing a hint of anger, he said to himself, "Everyone is holding a stuffed bear, and they know that it is the graduation ceremony of CUHK, but they don't know that they think it is the end of kindergarten." ”

"You're still in the mood for a joke?"

"Don't worry, the students won't be too aggressive."

As foreseen in the charter. The students scolded and scolded, but no one did anything, and President Gao continued to award certificates to the graduates wearing bachelor's certificates as if nothing happened, and only walked down from the left side of the stage after the last one was awarded.

Suddenly, a student crumpled up a piece of paper and threw it at him, and as soon as he turned around, the student who threw him pointed at another classmate and shouted, "Principal, look at him, he is actually littering!" ”

Principal Gao smirked as always. After a pause, he reacted and said slowly, "This is not very good." The students who had scolded him so much just now suddenly burst into laughter.

He's busy. I was also busy, and I didn't have time to watch the excitement anymore, so I hurriedly chased after him. At the same time, a reporter also ran up and asked, "Principal Gao, will you punish these students?" ”

Gao Kun stopped, turned around and asked puzzledly, "Punishment?" Why should I punish my students? ”

A professor wearing an awe-inspiring academician round hat and a red and black robe took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Mr. Reporter, these students of the student union and the student newspaper are like the children of the principal, they are just naughty, how can they be punished?" Not only not, but the principal often wrote them cronies thanking them for their work.

Not only that, but for fear that they would be so busy that they would not have time to do summer jobs like everyone else, they paid out of their own pockets every year and privately donated 20,000 Hong Kong dollars to each of these two organizations, asking them to distribute them to students from more difficult families. The one who threw the paper ball just now was scolded every year for taking money and scolding every year, while Principal Gao was scolded every year. ”

"Really?"

"If you don't believe it, you can ask those students who are doing things for verification."

By the time the reporter was about to go back and interview the principal again, he had already walked into the building with two men in white shirts.

There was an appointment before, and as soon as Guo Junru introduced it, Principal Gao held the hand of the charter and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I have heard of your name for a long time, and it is the first time we have met after working together for so long, but I didn't expect you to be so young." ”

The famous "Father of Optical Fiber", the dignified Vice-Chancellor of CUHK, the Barentan Medal, the Libman Prize, the Optoelectronics Prize, and the future Nobel Laureate, seems so ordinary, so modest, and so forgiving.

The charter was in awe, and while accompanying him to the elevator, he said sincerely: "President Gao, it is my honor to meet you, your pioneering and applied optical fiber research has completely revolutionized the entire communication method, and you are a role model for all the R&D personnel in our NB laboratory. ”

The discoverer of the giant magnetoresistive effect, the pride of the Hong Kong physics community, President Gao would not regard him as an ordinary young man, and said with a serious face: "Mr. Zhang, the giant magnetoresistive effect discovered by you and Professor Guo can also change the world. ”

"But we've only seen this effect, but we can't apply it like you can with your fiber."

"It's great to be able to find it, but as for the application, it takes a lot of resources."

Walking into his office, the charter bluntly said: "President Gao, I came today to visit you, and secondly, as the largest shareholder of NB Electric, on behalf of the board of directors of NB Electric Group, I sincerely invite you to serve as the chief scientist of NB Electric, and guide the research of our NB Basic Engineering Laboratory, NB System Engineering Laboratory, NB Technology Application Laboratory and Berlin NB Laboratory." ”

Principal Gao put aside the doll wearing a Y sleeve and asked self-deprecatingly: "Mr. Zhang, you saw and heard it just now, if I accept your invitation again, what will the academic become to flatter?" ”

It was not so easy to poach the principal, but the charter came prepared, picked up the doll and looked at it, and said confidently: "President Gao, NB Electric did not think of asking you to be the chief scientist of the company, but sincerely invited you to be the full-time chief scientist. ”

Gao Kun was ridiculed: "Resigned from CUHK? ”

"Yes," the charter said meaningfully, "President Gao, in the past four years of your tenure, you have recruited many talents for CUHK and made outstanding contributions to the development of CUHK. But in my opinion, if you work for another four years, you will really be like what the classmate said, four years of principal, nothing will be accomplished. ”

These words were scathing, but Principal Gao still laughed like no one.

"In 1970, you were invited to CUHK to establish the Department of Electronic Engineering. Three years ago, you created the Department of Information Engineering. Have you ever thought about the employment of students in these two departments after completing their studies? The transfer of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry to the mainland, even if it does not provide many jobs related to these two departments, in addition to real estate is trade, or clothing, or plastic flowers, if you don't make some changes, you will not only achieve nothing, but also mislead people's children.

For the sake of the future of engineering students in Hong Kong, I would like to sincerely invite you to take up the position of Chief Scientist of NB Electrical, resign from your position as President, and become the uncrowned President of CUHK, PolyU, HKUST and even the Universities of Berlin Humboldt, Dresden and Leipzig. ”

I have to admit that there is no difference between the current NB laboratory and the graduate school. In recent years, especially during this period, it has indeed provided many employment opportunities for engineering students from several universities in Hong Kong.

In the past four years, CUHK has recruited a lot of talents. What can you do for CUHK after another four years?

Gao Kun froze, and suddenly found that the young man in front of him seemed to have some truth. Looking at his thoughtful look, the charter realized that the goal had been achieved, and said while the iron was hot: "We have invested 100 million US dollars as an NB venture fund, and we will continue to invest in the future, purchase experimental equipment, expand the scale of the laboratory, and strive to meet the national laboratory standard within three years."

President Gao, I know how excessive this proposal is, so I beg you not to refuse it for the time being, but to take half a day to go to our laboratory and experimental workshop to see if we have a future and whether we have the strength to build a national laboratory. ”

Principal Gao reacted and asked curiously, "There are new achievements?" ”

"There are a few exactly, of course, far from being comparable to your fibers, but I believe that when you bring them all to market, the benefits will be enough to build NB Labs into a national laboratory."

Modified a turbojet fire tank, he shared more than 3 billion US dollars in firefighting orders with four fire companies in the United States and Canada, which opened the eyes of the world. ”

The charter smirked and said, "You can go and see it, I promise I won't disappoint you." (To be continued......)
