Fang Chen looked at Pitman with a smile, a picture of eating Pitman.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are those who are world-famous, famous and famous, and naturally there are those who are bleak and unnoticed, and who hide silently in the corner.

To put it mildly, a group of several people has to separate a lead singer, and the lead singer has attracted almost 80% of the group's attention, not to mention the huge Bell Labs.

Thinking of the huge scientific research strength of Bell Labs, Fang Chen really felt like drooling.

Bell Labs is now a behemoth with 28,000 people, which is about the same as the number of employees in Huaxia, and it can be said that Bell Labs' research strength is the top 20 universities.

But fortunately, most of the 28,000 people are doing product development, and only 3,000 people are doing the basic research that Fang Chen wants.

Is there a shortage of scientists in China?

Lacking, very lacking, but not so lacking.

There is no shortage of ordinary scientists in China, and what China lacks is top scientists.

This was evident in later generations.

There are 4 million graduates with a bachelor's degree or above in China every year, while there are only 400,000 in the United States, and if you exclude international students from China and India, there are only 200,000 college students in the United States, which is only one-twentieth of that of China, which is why in 2010, the number of papers in China surpassed that of the United States.

In terms of quality, especially in science and engineering, the analysis results of the Dongwei Science and Technology Promotion Agency show that from 2015 to 2017, Huaxia occupies the first place in 71 of the 151 science and engineering research fields, and the remaining 80 fields are in the first place, while before 1997, Huaxia only ranked in the top five in two fields.

It is worth mentioning that the original second in the world, Dongwei, at this time the best ranking is in the top three in two fields, and the ranking in the world has fallen to sixth.

However, there is still a huge gap between the number of highly cited papers and the United States, and the academic community calls the papers in the top 1% of the world's cited papers as highly cited papers, which is one of the most important data for judging the value of papers in the world, after all, only valuable papers will be cited.

Huaxia ranked third in the world in 2018, with 17% of the world's highly cited papers, only one-third of that of the United States.

Well, that's right, the United States alone accounts for 51% of the world's highly cited papers, which shows the scientific and technological strength of the United States, which is a veritable scientific and technological hegemony.

If the European Union, the second largest country in the world, is included, the United States, the European Union, and China account for 88% of the world's high-level scientific research strength, and the remaining 170 countries share the remaining 12%.

Moreover, Huaxia is expected to surpass the European Union in 2019 and become the second most cited country in the world.

Even if we don't talk about future generations, that is, now, there are more than 600,000 college graduates in China every year, which is much more than that of college graduates in the United States, about five times more.

Of course, there is definitely a big distance between the quality and the United States, but there is really not much shortage of scientific research workers at the average level, which can be seen from Huawei's ability to become the world's No. 1 communication equipment manufacturer.

In addition, the cost of Huaxia's scientific research and technical personnel is extremely low, only one-tenth of that in Europe and the United States, or even less, which is also the key to Huawei's rise.

Usually, Europe and the United States have completed basic research that has relatively high costs and cannot be converted into real benefits, and requires a very high level of technical strength, so that the applied research and development research that are equivalent to relatively easy to achieve are the strengths of China.

After all, basic research requires a lot of resources, and it does not produce real results, and most importantly, it depends on the emergence of high-level geniuses.

Basic research is the discussion of new theories and new principles, with the aim of discovering new scientific fields and providing theoretical prerequisites for new technological inventions and creations.

Gravitation and the theory of relativity are fundamental research, and if it weren't for the powers of Newton and Einstein, the devil knows when, these two would have been discovered by humans.

Applied research, on the other hand, is a continuation of basic research, with the aim of opening up specific ways to apply the results of basic research and transforming them into practical technologies, so it is relatively simple.

And there is another significant feature of research and application, that is, as long as the resources invested are sufficient, it will be realized.

After all, every year in Huaxia, there are a large number of college students, even master's students, doctoral students, the most unfortunate, Qingtian can also cooperate with colleges and universities to engage in fixed-point cultivation.

However, there is a shortage of high-level scientists who can do basic research, and they are basically not available.

In fact, if Qingtian's goal is only to become Huawei, it doesn't matter if it can't do basic research, after all, Huawei has not invested much in basic research in the first 20 years of its establishment, and has become the world's largest communication equipment manufacturer.

Huawei's approach is to wait for foreign countries to complete basic research, and then rely on a large number of scientific research and technical personnel in Huaxia, as well as cheap scientific research and technology costs, to quickly complete applied research, and then compete with Cisco and other communication giants at a low price.

But Qingtian can't wait, he can't wait for the 4G, 5G era, he can't wait for the 3G, or even 2G era, to come out, ruthlessly in the world communication market, and lay a good foundation for the future smartphone era.

As a result, DynaSky needs to do some basic research to have its own unique technical strength, such as DynaSky Communications, which is now researching 2.5G communication technology.

In fact, strictly speaking, 2.5G is not basic research, but applied research, and the basic research part of 2.5G is actually the theoretical support directly given by Fang Chen, so that 2.5G skips the basic research part.

But the problem is that there are not many such high-level scientists in Huaxia, especially in communications, after all, if you look at the production and research and development capabilities of communication equipment before Huaxia, it can be seen that it is equivalent to the 100-door machine in the United States in the seventies.

The very few who have the ability to do basic research on communications have either reached a cooperation with Qingtian, or they are old rivals of Qingtian, such as Wu Jiangxing and others.

So there was no way, Fang Chen could only look abroad, and Bell Labs, the birthplace of modern communication technology, was naturally his top priority, to be honest, looking at Bell Labs, the corners of Fang Chen's mouth never stopped.

But the problem is, Bell Labs is so big, with DynaSky in the U.S. office, Taylor and two or three big cats and kittens under his hands, how can it be possible to know who is depressed in Bell Labs and has the possibility of being poached by Optimus.

Northrop is different, such an old arms company can be said to have deep roots in the United States, if it helps him poach people, it will definitely be half the effort, and it will be impossible to make it possible.

Pitman scratched his already bare head, frowning.

After Fang Chen explained this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Fang Chen was not going to make a big deal in Bell Labs, but just digging up a few unambitious basic research technicians, he believed that if Fang Chen's treatment was enough, and then Northrop Company would match, it should not be a big problem.

"On behalf of Northrop, I'll give it a try and see if I can help you find a few scientists from Bell Labs doing basic research. Pitman thought about it for a moment and said solemnly.

As soon as his thoughts moved, Fang Chen said slowly: "If it's not a scientist engaged in basic research, or other scientific research and technical personnel related to communication and applied research, you can also help me dig it up......

Speaking of this, Fang Chen suddenly paused, and said vigilantly: "But there are no fewer scientists engaged in basic research!"

Almost let Pittman take advantage of the loophole, if Pittman really found him a few general scientific research and technical personnel to deal with, it would be bad, like this kind of giant like Northrop, which has great power in the United States, the opportunity to sign the alliance under the city is probably not a few times.

Although the attitude of DynaSky towards scientific research and technical personnel is that the more the merrier, the most important thing is the scientists who can engage in basic research.

"Good, good. Pitman said helplessly.

Looking at what Fang Chen said, is their Northrop Company the kind of company that defaults on its debts?

But seriously, if it weren't for Fang Chen on the other side, they couldn't help it, the water couldn't be splashed in, the needles couldn't be pricked, and they pinched their seven-inch existence, and they would be in debt.

It's not like they, Northrop, have never done anything about killing creditors, and they haven't even done anything less than black and black.

A thought flashed, Pittman rubbed his hands, and said with some embarrassment: "However, Mr. Fang, you see, the scientists who helped you dig Bell Labs will not be able to solve it in a while, if you can......"

Speaking of this, Pitman glanced at Fang Chen, and saw that Fang Chen's face was not displeased, so he gritted his teeth and said directly: "Are you an adult, let us Northrop carry out business in Russia first." ”

Fang Chen pondered for a moment, and said casually: "This is no problem, as long as Northrop Company sends 10 million US dollars to the accounts of our Qingtian Charity Foundation, then Northrop Company's business in Russia, I will no longer obstruct it." ”

Pittman couldn't help but pause, and even Bill Gates glanced at Fang Chen in surprise, his heart full of strangeness.

When did Fang Chen become so talkative?

Even Pittman's first reaction was that Fang Chen was lying to him.

Seeing the stunned and unbelievable appearance of the two of them, Fang Chen chuckled lightly, and said confidently: "Since I can thwart Northrop once, I can thwart Northrop a second time, if you Northrop want to play tricks on me, you can try, I will definitely make you Northrop pay a painful price." And I'm only going to give you half a year, and within half a year, I have to meet with the scientists at Bell Labs, and there must be no less than five of them. ”

Seeing that Fang Chen really didn't mean to lie to him, Pitman quickly patted his chest and said categorically: "Mr. Fang, don't worry, within half a year, I will definitely promote the cooperation between Qingtian and the scientists of Bell Labs, and let them join your command." ”

After confirming with Fang Chen what kind of scientist Fang Chen wanted, and that he could leave, Pitman suddenly felt like he had been pardoned, and he slipped away in an instant.

Seriously, he didn't want to stay with Fang Chen for a moment.

The atmosphere of the scene instantly calmed down, and just when Bill Gates was about to say goodbye, this kind of gathering of all big people was also unavoidable for him, and he had to hurry up.

But just as Bill Gates was about to speak, he suddenly saw that Fang Chen was staring at him intently, and his eyes were still shining with ingest.

This kind of gaze, he had only seen at the National Zoo in the United States, once surrounded by wolves.

Bill Gates shuddered involuntarily.

"Bill, my dear friend, I happen to have something to discuss with you right now. Fang Chen looked ill-intentioned and said with a smile.

Bill Gates was silent for a moment, he really wanted to say that he really had nothing to discuss with Fang Chen.

But looking at Fang Chen's shining eyes, he already knew that Fang Chen couldn't let him go so easily, and he must be planning to trick him.

"Fang, if you have anything, just say it directly, after all, we are friends, but please hurry up!"

Bill Gates gritted his teeth and said word by word, especially adding an accent to the five words 'we are friends'.

Seriously, sometimes Fang Chen has a friend like him, he really would rather not have it, it's too tricky.

"Bill, I know you are a great philanthropist who has been helping those who are poor, helping them to eat, freeing them from the pain of illness, and giving them ...... school"

Fang Chen put his arm around Bill Gates's shoulders, gushing endlessly, and said very affectionately, all kinds of rainbow farts are like those who don't want money, and they simply praise Bill Gates as the best good man in the world.

"Fang, can you get to the point, I'm really in a hurry. Bill Gates looked up to the sky and sighed, full of helplessness.

Seeing that Bill Gates was really anxious, Fang Chen shrugged his shoulders, and then suddenly his face changed, and he said solemnly: " Bill, you know, China is the world's most populous country, but also the world's most poor country, per capita GDP is only 300 US dollars, according to the World Bank's income division, is the lowest level of low-income countries, there are a large number of children who do not have enough to eat, can not wear a new clothes for the New Year, have to drop out of primary school, work in the family farm or go out to work, I hope you can lend a helping hand, help a group of poor children in China. ”
