Spring Breeze 1991

"We plan to catch up with Europe and the United States in 20 years."

Yao Yuan smiled and pointed to Zhan Chenggui, "Old Zhan, please introduce the durability test to the governor."

"it is good."

Zhan Chenggui said, "The purpose of the durability test is to test the durability of the car and its assembly and parts. The standard we set is that the three high tests must run 30 kilometers respectively, that is, three 30. A level of roads and terrain. The requirement is that the car will not have a disability failure after driving 90 kilometers. What is being done now is the first 30-kilometer test.”

"Can you understand it this way, even after running 90 kilometers, the car will not break down." Vice Governor Zhang asked after thinking about it.

Zhan Chenggui nodded affirmatively, "Plainly speaking, it can be understood in this way. Our technical requirements for overhaul are to achieve 20 kilometers without major repairs, and the daily maintenance mileage reaches 10000 kilometers. We have studied all the sedans in foreign markets, and we can meet these requirements. There is no one with the same price as the technical standard, but our technical standard is already on par with the luxury of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.”

"Moreover, their esp system is not as technologically advanced as ours."

"Oh, by the way, Mercedes-Benz has expressed to us its intention to use our esp technology, and we are negotiating with them on patent royalties." Yao Yuan recalled this matter and said it.

Before Vice Governor Zhang could react, Zhan Chenggui said, "We tend to export products, which can not only exercise our production capacity, but also earn foreign exchange."

"Yes, this is very important." Vice Governor Zhang suddenly came back to his senses, "Yes, Xiao Zhan is right, if you can sell the product, sell the product, if you sell the technology, they build it themselves, this is a one-shot deal .”

The pursuit of foreign exchange by officials in this era can be said to be crazy, and Yao Yuan is used to it.

He said with a helpless smile, "In the long run, esp technology is not a difficult technology to overcome. There are actually many safety technologies used in cars. I would like to take out esp technology and replace their engine technology with Mercedes-Benz."

"This plan is also very good. Mercedes-Benz's engine technology is very powerful." Zhan Chenggui's eyes lit up immediately.

Zhan Chenggui, who was quite cute just now, now in the eyes of Vice Governor Zhang, he has become an ignorant person. He quickly said, "At least they won't be able to develop it in the short term. Let's sell the product for a while. When the foreign exchange is not so tense, I will take it out and exchange it for some technology.”

There is a view in later generations that officials in the 90s and [-]s did not understand technology and sold or simply gave away good domestic technology. In fact, this is an out-and-out Internet rumor.

In so many countries around the world, the smartest officials are Chinese officials. It is normal for a very small number of people to be deceived, but for a country with a huge bureaucratic system, this little problem is simply not worth mentioning.There are not a few people who have good calculations like Vice Governor Zhang.

Yao Yuan also thought the same way, making a time difference to maximize the benefits of each technology, and immediately nodded with a smile on the slope, "Okay, then do it according to your wishes."

Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences has an obvious shortcoming, which is a serious lack of basic scientific research and related data.

If we don't mention difficulties at this time, when will we wait?

He sighed and said, "Most of the research projects of Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences are cutting-edge technologies, many of which are based on other people's research. We lack basic scientific research data, especially experimental data."

There are a lot of basic scientific research data in the hundreds of wagon paper technical materials bought from Russia and the former Soviet Union countries. These waste papers, which are worthless in the eyes of many people, are the scientific research efforts of the Soviet Union over the past 60 years .

However, the Soviet Union focused on heavy industry and military industry, and the light industry and electronics industry were simply horrible. They clearly trained a large number of electronic technicians, but they focused their research on the miniaturization of electronic tubes and gave up transistor integrated circuits.

Facts have proved cruelly that this is a dead end.

This is only one aspect. Although the collected technical information is abundant, it is not complete, and there is a gap in the continuity of time. This is something that will not be resolved for a while.

Yao Yuan explained, "Basic scientific research is the foundation of all scientific research. It is like building a building. Our shortcoming."

"It's not difficult to spend money to buy technology from outside. As long as you give enough money, many companies are willing to sell cutting-edge technology, but if you want to buy their basic test data, most of them will not agree, because these are fundamental. South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries The lng ship technology is actually not very complete. The reason why I asked them to share it at such a high price is that they have taken a fancy to their 20 years of basic research. With these experimental data, our follow-up research will not be rootless .”

After explaining a bit, Yao Yuan made a request, "Governor, I have a heartless request, and it can be regarded as something that Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences hopes the province will give strong support to."

"You say, just ask for anything. One big project after another, you can't just take action, our provincial government should also help solve the problem, just say it." Vice Governor Zhang waved his hand and said, at this time Only then did I regain the feeling of being the leader of a province.

Yao Yuan nodded slightly, and said, "I hope that the research institutions in the province will share with us relevant data on basic scientific research. want."

"In exchange, Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences can allocate a sum of money to support their research work. At the same time, we also welcome each other to strengthen technical exchanges. In terms of some basic research results, Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences is also willing to use it for free domestic research. share, we give up patents."

This is something he has considered for a long time.

The reality reflected in the current domestic situation is that it is difficult to obtain patent royalties. In the era when state-owned enterprises take the lead in plagiarism, don't expect to make money through patents.Unlike 20 years later, it is precisely the state-owned enterprises that value patents and intellectual property rights the most, because they have a large number of patented technologies.

Of course, Yao Yuan is selective about the technologies that are freely shared domestically. Technologies that are easy to copy and imitate and will appear in the next few years can be shared for free. High-tech technologies must establish a patent fortress. Also keep going.

After seeing the scientific research strength of the Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences, Vice Governor Zhang did not regard Yao Yuan's request as a request. Instead, he believed that it was a promotional measure for the scientific research strength of the province.

He waved his hand generously and said, "There is no need for money, we are all our own people, sharing and communicating for free, that's the deal."

Yao Yuan was taken aback, and quickly said, "This won't work, it must be confirmed with contract documents, and Chunfeng Academy of Sciences must pay the usage fee. The province can coordinate the sale of basic scientific research data to us. In fact, we have taken advantage of it." .”

"Since you insist, do as you want." Vice Governor Zhang said indifferently, he didn't think that the basic scientific research data was more valuable than the technology of Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences, which was already an international leader.

As an experienced person and a technical entrepreneur with a professional background, Yao Yuan is too aware of the value of basic scientific research data.For example, in the large aircraft program, the prototype has already flown for the first time, and they all flew to the plateau for testing, but they were dismantled. After restarting, it took another 20 years to produce the prototype.It is very puzzling that it has been carried out for 21 years with the technical research ability of the 20st century.

The fundamental reason is that a large amount of basic test data at that time disappeared, and everything had to start from scratch...

Sadly.

Yao Yuan said solemnly, "I have already organized people from the Legal Department and the Intellectual Property Department to conduct research on this. After the detailed rules are presented, Comrade Zhan Chenggui will represent the Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences to negotiate with the province."

At this time, Vice Governor Zhang realized that the situation here might not be as simple as he thought, so he frowned and said, "Is it necessary to make it so complicated?"

"It is very necessary out of respect for the labor achievements of scientific researchers." Yao Yuan said seriously.

He said in a deep voice, "Our Institute of Basic Science is one of the earliest departments established, but it is by far the department with the largest investment and the slowest progress. For example, materials technology, which is the first type of applied science derived from basic science The Institute of Basic Science may not be able to produce benefits within ten years, but it is a key research institute that must continue to invest.”

The purpose of saying this is to let Vice Governor Zhang have a clearer understanding of the relevant data and materials of basic scientific research, so as to avoid "the loss of state-owned assets caused by insufficient understanding of technical cooperation due to historical reasons" in the future.

Vice Governor Zhang pondered for a moment, took the cigarette handed by Yao Yuan, smoked on Yao Yuan's ignition point, looked down at the two Baojun 320 cars that were circling rapidly, and said slowly, "Let's study it carefully. , but don’t worry, this matter is no problem, it depends on how to operate it.”

"I suggest that the province hire a third-party evaluation agency to evaluate the basic scientific research data and technologies involved, and quantify these things, which will make it much clearer." Yao Yuan enthusiastically offered advice like a customer who was satisfied with a bargain.

Vice Governor Zhang said with a wry smile, "Xiao Yao, if all entrepreneurs are like you, there is no need to worry about China's economic development."

Deputy Secretary-General Lin, who had been unable to intervene until now, followed the topic and said, "The province is about to evaluate a new Long March Assaulter. Xiao Yao is a college student, so he should still be a member of the regiment, right?"

"Probationary party member." Yao Yuan said.

Deputy Secretary-General Lin immediately said, "That's no problem, you can participate in the evaluation of this honor."

"Old Lin, make arrangements." Vice Governor Zhang immediately instructed.

"Okay, Xiaoyao, you fill out a form... No, I'll go to your school tomorrow, so don't worry about it." Deputy Secretary-General Lin said smugly.

Yao Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, he never dared to think about such an honor in his previous life, it's not something that can be awarded with money.

Among the youth group, the New Long March Assaulter is the honor second only to the May Fourth Youth Medal, the highest honor for youth. Although it is at the provincial level, it is still very rare, and is known as a model worker among the youth group.

On the contrary, honors such as the top ten outstanding youths sound very loud, but in fact they are far less valuable than the official honors such as New Long March Assaulter, Model Worker, and May [-]th Medal Winner.

These honors have no practical significance to Yao Yuan when he has decided to go into business and not politics, but Comrade Yao Zhenhua, an old state-owned factory employee, will definitely be very happy.

With this in mind, Yao Yuan did not refuse.

However, this evening, Deputy Governor Zhang visited the Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences with great interest until three o'clock in the morning before leaving for the city government guest house to rest. Deputy Secretary-General Lin, who was reduced to a supporting role, was enlightened by the matter of honor, and Zhou Liang and other city leaders They hit it off immediately, and after dawn, they simply went to Xigong University to learn about Yao Yuan's situation, and personally handled the matter of submitting materials to Yao Yuan.

The provincial government has taken over the main role, and the city has changed from a leading role to a supporting role. The deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee, Lin, has no better way to express his attitude on behalf of the provincial party committee.

Giving honor to Yao Yuan is a good idea, besides, he is still a college student at the same time, and he is only 20 years old. Apart from the economic policy, this idea will immediately broaden as soon as he opens it up.

The deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee and the mayor came forward in person, Xigong was naturally warmly entertained, where there was no need for the leader to bother, the subordinates sorted out Yao Yuan's materials within an hour, and handed them to Deputy Secretary-General Lin in person.

Instead of passing through the city, it was directly submitted to the province, which was also specifically requested by Deputy Secretary-General Lin.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Liang was very helpless.

On the way back to the city hall, he was depressed, but when he passed by the city library, he suddenly remembered something and asked Yang Sheng, "Does Mr. Yao have a sister?"

"Yes, it's called...Yao Li, oh yes, it seems to work in the library." Yang Sheng glanced at the city library passing by.

Zhou Liang said decisively, "Turn around and go to the library."

Yang Sheng came to his senses, "Mayor Zhou, are you going to..."

Nodding his head slightly, Zhou Liang said, "It's different now. There is nothing in the city that people can look up to. We can only start with his relatives and friends. No matter what, we must let Mr. Yao see ours." Sincerely, Lao Yang, you know that we had a bad fight with Mr. Yao before, but now it seems that we regret it."

"No one would have imagined that Mr. Yao's development would be so fast. Originally, there was only one store selling electrical appliances. The largest asset was Baoma Machinery, which was still a joint venture at that time. In less than two years, it developed into an asset management group with assets of several hundred. billions.” Yang Sheng sighed unceasingly, recalling the scene at the import and export trade exhibition, Zhuge said afterwards, “At the time of the import and export trade exhibition, you should have noticed that tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange could be brought back with just one mouth. The person who placed the order must be extraordinary."

Zhou Liang waved his hand, "It's meaningless to talk about it now, call and ask about Comrade Yao Li's situation, but don't let the people in the library know our whereabouts."

"Okay, I'll fight right away." Yang Sheng understood.
