Chapter 657: Wu Ning's guidance
"You've overrated! I'm here today to ask you another question, which is a strategic issue that I'm taking the lead on, which is more tricky. ”
Liang Jiangtao briefly told Wu Ning about the high-speed rail dispute and the situation that needs to be broken through now, and also said his current responsibilities, roles and basic views, and wanted to get support from Wu Ning.
Wu Ning is a well-known economist in China, and his vision is naturally unique.
After all, the problem of high-speed rail construction is a strategic issue, a scientific and technological issue, and an economic issue.
First of all, it is necessary to see whether it can stand on the economic benefits and find arguments from this perspective.
Wu Ning pondered for a moment and said: "I am not unfamiliar with this problem, I also served as an economic consultant a few years ago, knowing the complexity of this matter, it is rare for you to be the leader of the group at such a young age!" ”
Rao is Wu Ning is at the top of the academic ladder, I don't know how many high-level people he has been in contact with over the years, and many of the students are in high-level positions, and they were also surprised when they heard Liang Jiangtao's words.
At a young age, Liang Jiangtao served as Li Yanqing's secretary and deputy director of the Office of the Director of the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, and now he is the leader of such an important group.
Such a major national strategic task is on his shoulders, and with his talent and family background, no one can predict how high he will grow in the future!
If the disciple is like this, what more can the husband ask for?
Wu Ning's spirit is inspired!
I am even more determined to cultivate Liang Jiangtao well and provide more adequate nutrients for his growth.
"So I've been under too much pressure lately, and of course it's a great achievement to do a good job, but once there is any mistake, the consequences are self-evident, and the matter is too big to be missed!" Liang Jiangtao's attitude is very modest.
"It's right to be on the edge of the abyss and walk on thin ice! In fact, the best decision on this matter depends on the development of magnetic levitation technology in the next 20 years! If there is great progress, it is necessary to wait for maglev, but if not, then the construction of wheel-rail high-speed rail as soon as possible is a top priority! It requires positioning, height, vision, and prediction, but there is also a lot of luck in it! After all, no one knows what the future holds! From this, an irreconcilable contradiction arises. Of course, each ministry also has its own interests to consider! Wu Ning analyzed.
Liang Jiangtao nodded again and again.
Wu Ning's eyes were vicious, and he instantly saw through the essence of the problem.
Of course, the biggest problem for Liang Jiangtao does not exist, because he knows what it will look like in 20 years, and maglev has not developed significantly at all.
All he needs to do is how to convince others to believe, or, agree with his "trade-offs".
"Since your opinion is wheel-rail high-speed rail, of course, there is no problem, it should be said that this is a pragmatic and rational choice, the maglev train, on the contrary, is based on an idealized and romanticized expectation! If you think about it rationally, scientific research is never romantic, let alone smooth sailing, it seems to be the highlight of some geniuses, but in fact, it is the qualitative change that has been spontaneously produced by the accumulation of social development to a certain extent, which can also explain why ancient Greece and ancient Rome once had such a highly splendid civilization, but experienced a thousand years of dark Middle Ages, the development of science and technology completely stagnated, and there was a huge regression! It can also explain why ancient China completed the four great inventions so early, but did not further evolve into modern science! I am afraid that there are extremely profound social and historical reasons for this. Wu Ning said.
Liang Jiangtao's eyes lit up.
Professor Wu Ning is worthy of Professor Wu Ning, and he points to the essence of the problem in a few words.
This is similar to the argument he made when he debated with Jiao Lan a few days ago!
The progress of science and technology is never homogeneous at a uniform rate, but will accumulate over a long period of time and explode suddenly.
In recent decades, it has been a period of concentrated explosion of science and technology, which will also make many people hallucinate, thinking that man will win the day, and science and technology will definitely progress more and more!
There are changes every day, and what seems immature now will surely make a breakthrough in the near future.
Actually, it's just a beautiful imagination.
Technology is cold and unpredictable!
Once it stagnates, it can't be broken through by manpower!
It can be a total stagnation, or it can be a partial stagnation, five years, ten years, decades, centuries, thousands of years, or even until the demise of humanity! Probably not the slightest improvement!
No matter how hard you put in, you can't do it!
The fact is that the focus of scientific and technological progress in the coming decades will be on the information field, and not on the field of transportation!
The technology of magnetic levitation is a good example.
Samples are now available and operational, but there will be little progress in the next two decades and no commercial use at all.
If you put the treasure on this, you can only let the great time and opportunity go to waste!
It is the opposite of the semiconductor industry!
So, by no means a direction worth going into.
"You can also consider it from another direction, that is, the economic and political benefits of opening up to the outside world!" Wu Ning thought for a while.
"Oh? Please ask the teacher for guidance! Liang Jiangtao didn't think about this.
"To put it simply, it is high-speed rail going abroad. The current arguments are all around how high-speed rail can stimulate the domestic economy, but the idea needs to be opened! China needs to build high-speed rail, what about those Southeast Asian countries? What about India? What about Africa? It should be said that all developing countries have this need! It's just that they haven't completed the original accumulation yet, so they don't dare to think about it for the time being! If Huaxia introduces high-speed rail technology at this time, transforms it, and forms independent intellectual property rights and mature construction and operation experience, it can be exported to other countries in a few years! Of course, we can make money in this way, but more importantly, we can enhance the country's political influence and image as a responsible power in this way! Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?! Wu Ning said.
Liang Jiangtao's mouth suddenly opened.
It is worthy of Professor Wu Ning, this point is too crucial!
Why didn't he think of it?!
Or is the thinking too limited.
What Professor Wu Ning is talking about now is not the prototype of the Belt and Road Initiative in the future?!
As a reborn, I am really unqualified!
Coupled with this reason, Liang Jiangtao is confident that the reason for building wheel-rail high-speed rail is very sufficient!
Hearts become more confident.
"Thank you, teacher, I understand, please rest assured, I will prepare well and make this thing beautiful!" Liang Jiangtao smiled.
Today, it was not in vain!
