Chapter 415 Technology Purchase
Next, Wang Guorui visited Berlin for a few days, from major universities to various factories in the back, and then visited a lot. And Wang Guorui finally began to prepare to purchase things, and when he heard the news, he immediately made the Germans almost jump three feet high, which made them feel extremely happy, because Wang Guorui actually wanted to purchase things, which made them really happy. The Germans have been with Wang Guorui for so long, don't they just hope to get Wang Guorui's order? Now Wang Guorui is about to come up with the money to purchase these orders, which makes them all feel very happy.
"Governor Wang, this is a list of our major factories in Germany at the moment, and what those factories can produce. As long as you can see it, we in the German government can coordinate and give them priority to the production of the products you need. The German diplomat said right away.
Wang Guorui looked at the things on the list, and then said, "What if I plan to purchase technology?" I plan to purchase your country's technology patents, and then we will use and analyze the technology patents and so on, which have nothing to do with Germany. And then even if the technology we purchase next is improved, it is all our own, what do you think of this? ”
"Procurement technology?" German diplomats clearly did not quite understand this meaning.
Wang Guorui immediately said: "We have a saying in China, that is, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, which means that it is better to teach others how to fish than to teach others how to fish, so that he can also rely on his own ability to fish for a living." And we in Taiwan want to purchase technology, that is, we hope that we can produce it ourselves in the future, and then let us be able to obtain the conditions for production by ourselves. In terms of patents, don't worry, we will purchase them. But we would like to be able to sign an agreement where we will invent all sorts of new technologies based on this patent. None of this has anything to do with you Germans, we want it to be our own. ”
"This ......"
German diplomats apparently did not expect Wang Guorui to purchase technology, not products. This technology is certainly not very well recognized by the Germans, after all, technology is the basis for the production of things, and it belongs to the means of production, if it is given to Taiwan. Then I'm afraid there won't be a second purchase in the future. Even Germans know that selling technology is not as good as selling products, so everything is still selling products to get a steady stream of benefits, and selling technology is equivalent to a one-time sale, and no one else will come to buy the products produced by this technology in the future. After all, it is not only the Chinese who understand that technology cannot be leaked, but also the Germans. Germany's industrial base for so many years has not been built in vain, and they naturally know to keep their technology secret.
"Governor Wang, with all due respect, I'm afraid the bosses of our factories will not agree. And. I'm afraid that our government will not agree to sell technology to Taiwan, after all, the Chinese also know the principle that technology should be kept secret, so Governor Wang should not know, right? ”
Wang Guorui replied indifferently: "Of course, of course, I know that technology naturally has to be kept secret. But what do you think about being able to procure technologies that are less than five years old, and in large quantities? ”
The German diplomat was very surprised to hear that Wang Guorui was actually going to purchase these technologies with a patent period of less than five years. Because the patent term is less than five years, that means that the patent has been pending for more than ten years. More than 10 years of patents. It is already a very old technology in this era of rapid industrial development. In many cases, in this era, a new technology that has been used for less than a few years is often eliminated, and then they are gradually shelved. And there are more and more new technologies, and the cycle of science and technology elimination is getting shorter and shorter, and there is no ability to eat all the tricks. Therefore, enterprises in various countries have also begun to invest large sums of money in research and development of various industrial technologies, and they will be eliminated in a few years after research and development.
However, Wang Guorui actually wants to purchase those patented technologies with a patent period of less than five years. That means that these technologies are already several generations behind the latest technology, and even if this technology is produced, it has no value to use. You must know that more than ten years ago, those technological products were completely rubbish after they got this more than ten years. Give away those goods that no one wants. But now there are people who want to buy it, which is obviously a surprise to German diplomats.
Even if this backward technology is given to European countries, those countries will not think of receiving it, because they don't even look down on these things. However, if the Taiwanese can need it now, then they are not unable to consider selling it to Taiwan at the price of cabbage, after all, these technologies no longer have any international competitiveness, and even the products produced cannot be sold, so this backward technology cannot make the Germans feel threatened.
"I think I can ask the domestic officials for advice, I think it is very likely that they will agree!" said the German diplomat.
Wang Guorui heard the words of this German diplomat, and he also took the initiative to discuss with his Taiwan delegation.
"Lord Wang, why do we buy so many backward foreign technologies? If you want to buy the best, how can you actually sell those who are backward? Yao Wendong asked.
And Wang Guorui smiled bitterly: "Do you think I don't want to buy the best?" But the best technique means that his foundation is very high. It's like building a building, and the high-rise building must have enough foundation underneath, and if the foundation is not built, then it will naturally not be able to build a high-rise building. Didn't we have an idiom called the castle in the sky in ancient times? That's what I'm talking about. Although the most advanced technologies are powerful, their foundations are those extremely backward technologies, and those technologies are the foundation of these high-tech. ”
"Although we can purchase those advanced technologies, we don't have a solid foundation! Once we've had a few years, the most advanced technologies are left behind, and then we can't build up from them and move on to better ones. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is not to directly develop the most high-tech technology, but to accumulate those basic things. The industrial base of foreign devils was not built in a day, and it took them hundreds of years to accumulate such a huge industrial base. And these industrial bases are also industrial technologies, and although they are backward, they represent a building or the foundation of a tree. If we don't have these foundational technologies, then even if we have the latest technology, we will be rootless trees and won't live long. ”
"So let's not blindly hope for what kind of high-tech we have acquired, although we already have a small number of technologies that have reached the world-leading level. For example, the engine, but this engine is only a manifestation, and cannot represent the entire industrial system. The industrial system is not one or two products, but something that is integrated. China as a whole is lagging behind a lot, and it is not easy for us to catch up directly. So instead of looking forward to buying the most advanced technology, we should spend limited financial resources to consolidate our most basic things. We are still in the stage of landfilling the foundation, and whether a house can be stable or not depends on the foundation. The foundation of the foreign devil is very solid, and oh our foundation is actually empty. You just have to think about what do you think I would do if I couldn't source products through the people behind Tanya and Natasha? Therefore, what we need to do now is to consolidate our foundation, so that we can stabilize our industrial base well. ”
Wang Guorui came to this era, and after this period of understanding, he naturally knew that it was not easy to climb the technology tree. The tech tree is not so easy to climb, it is from the basic technology one by one and then slowly develops. And whichever is missing in this process, it won't work. If Wang Guorui directly purchases the most advanced technology from foreign countries, not to mention whether the gringos will sell it, let's just say that after they sell it, even if China uses it, it will know it but not know why. At some point, China will only use the technology to produce this kind of product, and will not really understand how these technology rooms came to be and how they developed step by step.
Therefore, Wang Guorui naturally spent so much money to purchase a large number of outdated technologies from the Germans, because only those outdated technologies can truly consolidate Taiwan's industrial base. At that time, once these technologies are purchased, they can be sent to Taiwan's major research institutions and universities for research. Then they are decomposed and studied step by step, and finally turned into their own technical accumulation. If Wang Guorui wants to develop these from scratch, normally speaking, it will take decades to concentrate all the resources of a country. But Wang Guorui couldn't wait that long, so Wang Guorui chose to buy backward industrial technologies from foreign countries, and then use them as his own accumulation. As long as you accumulate enough of those things, you can gradually gain the foundation of climbing the technology tree.
As for the backward technology, Wang Guorui believes that the Germans should choose to sell these backward technologies. Because not only are these technologies useless, but if they can be used in exchange for a sum of money, then they are also very satisfied. (To be continued......)
