At this moment, even the old man Zhou Jinlie, who had supported Wang Ye from the beginning, looked at Wang Ye with a slight change in his expression.
It's really because, in a sense, the plan proposed by Wang Ye is too important! It is so important! It is no exaggeration to say that although 900 million is very important, this plan is even worse!
Because now China just has no money, and because there is no money, let alone the military industry, even in the normal scientific research field, many projects cannot be carried out normally. Projects that were supposed to be experiments cannot be carried out, so the projects can only It will always stay on paper, and the gap between it and the world's advanced level will eventually become larger and larger until it is finally irreparable, just like petroleum equipment, which has to spend a lot of foreign exchange to purchase.
At the same time, because there is no money, scientific research projects in various scientific research institutes and schools cannot be organized, so these scientific researchers are equivalent to "existing in name only". Colleges and universities can still attend classes, but there is no "big role" in the institute. "At most, they can be consultants, and there are even some senior technicians and senior engineers in factories. In essence, they are also scientists and have no need for research and development. They have just reached fifty, or even a few years old. In addition, if the children are short of work and have to take over the job, they have no choice but to retire early and make way for them.
But in fact, for scientific researchers who are in good health, their forties, fifties and sixties are their golden years. Their accumulated scientific level has improved day by day. They can teach students from a high level and teach them from a high level to be lively and interesting. , is by no means comparable to mediocre teachers, because his own level is there, and his overall view is very strong. And when he engages in scientific research, it is also because his level is in a stable rising period, and he is the backbone of scientific research.
Such precious human resources were wasted just because there was no money!
More importantly, for such scientific personnel, if they take a few years off after retirement, it is easy for their scientific research level to decline crazily, from first-rate to second-rate, from second-rate to third-rate, and because of their retirement, experimental scientific research will not be carried out too much. If there are fewer, the original strategy of teachers guiding students in the laboratory cannot continue, resulting in fewer and fewer backward scientific researchers, and gradually begin to shrink.
This is definitely a very bad situation, but there is no way, the country has no money! Limited money and resources can only be invested in projects with the highest demand, while other projects can only be "slowed down". As for when, no one knows.
It is precisely because of this that when the scale of the Red Star Machinery Factory was expanded and converted into the Red Star Complex, Wang Ye hoped that the Ministry of National Defense and the Fifth Machinery Department would coordinate some personnel to come over. Because of this, these two departments were happy to do so, and A large number of people were quickly coordinated. After all, there were too many scientific researchers in China. It was originally a very happy thing, but because there were too many projects that were canceled due to lack of money, it became an unfortunate thing.
Therefore, under such a predicament, the plan proposed by Wang Ye is extremely important!
On the whole, this is indeed a win-win plan, but for China, many leaders present instantly understood another meaning, that is, using other people's money to do their own things, or perhaps more popularly, borrowing money Chicken lays egg!
After all, those scientific researchers who are sent abroad must carry out some scientific research projects in addition to normal teaching. If they engage in scientific research at Riyadh University, of course it will be funded by the Saudi royal family. The scientific results will naturally be shared by both parties. !
This move, in the eyes of everyone, has five major benefits visible to the naked eye.
The first major benefit is fixed annual foreign exchange income.
The second biggest benefit is to use chickens to lay eggs to continue scientific research projects.
The third major benefit is to maintain the level of scientific researchers.
The fourth major benefit is to promote the development of diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia and lay the foundation for business and trade exchanges, etc.
The fifth biggest benefit is to go out into the world and impact the desert!
Not to mention, these benefits are increasing layer by layer, and this is only the first step of the first stage mentioned by Wang Ye. With every subsequent step and stage, these benefits will inevitably be improved!
"Wang Ye, you kid, you are really up to no good!"
"These surprises come one after another. Fortunately, I took heart-protecting medicine this morning, otherwise I would have to go to the hospital now!"
Walking on the way to the restaurant, old man Zhou Jinlie said this, causing other leaders around him to nod. After all, everyone had not recovered from the surprise of 900 million, and suddenly another one of this magnitude came!
"Wang Ye, there shouldn't be any other big news next, right?"
"No, I'll take two heart-protecting pills too!"
"I'm worried because I don't have money. The money came so fast, and my heart can't bear it! Don't you think so? Hahaha!"
In the end, leader Su Mingyuan laughed so loudly, and everyone finally arrived at the small canteen, where Wang Ye's celebration banquet would be held. However, the originally scheduled drinking session was due to Wang Ye coming up with this plan and there would be another party in the afternoon. If the meeting continues, it will have to be cancelled.
Had lunch.
Many senior leaders rested for a while and returned to the conference room again at two o'clock in the afternoon. There were already many leaders in the conference room. Wang Ye recognized them at a glance, including those from the National Science and Technology Commission and those from the Education Bureau. From the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and most importantly from the Ministry of Agriculture, Wang Ye felt that it was very outrageous. Are they going to do some agricultural science cooperation project with Saudi Arabia?
"Oh my, you guys are so good at sleeping. We came here at half past one, but you are still sleeping."
"That's right, we couldn't wait when we heard the news. Old Liu was ready to call someone!"
"Hahaha, sit down! Sit down quickly! This is Comrade Wang Ye, right? He is indeed a young talent!"
"Hey, this kid is awesome. His teacher was so angry back then that he wanted to go to the Red Star Factory. It spread all over our place!"
"You haven't seen Lao Sun in the past few days. He is happier than when he got his wife. He grins every day and has no demeanor like a dignified dean!"
"Hahahahaha, who allowed me to have such a proud disciple?"
Accompanied by the sounds of greetings, teasing, and discussions, everyone sat down one after another. After all, it would be difficult for these people here to gather together normally, so sitting together at this moment naturally couldn't help but chat.
After sitting down, old man Zhou Jinlie coughed lightly and said to Wang Ye with a smile:
"Come on, I guess you've seen some of them, and some of them you haven't. Let me introduce them to you. This is from our National Science and Technology Commission."
In fact, Wang Ye knew all these people, and many of them were very familiar with them, but they were all memories of a normal time and space. Now, theoretically speaking, it is possible to have heard of some people's names, but almost never seen them. .
After a round of introductions, this joint meeting covering multiple ministries and commissions finally began, with Wang Ye at the core!
"Wang Ye, can you tell us about the whole process of this plan?"
"It not only includes the content of the plan, but also the content of the consultation between you and the prince. This will make it easier for us to make certain judgments."
"And to be honest, we are also very interested!"
The speaker was the leader of the National Science and Technology Commission named Feng Yiqiu. When he heard the leader's voice, there was laughter and echoes. It was obvious that everyone was curious.
Of course, Wang Ye had no objection to this, nodded and said with a smile:
"Actually, this matter started when Sattler and I went to Dubai."
As soon as these words came out, expressions of surprise appeared on the faces of all the leaders present. Some people couldn't help but look at each other, and then couldn't help but laugh. When Wang Ye told the story just this morning, he only mentioned that day. The evening party included a long talk with Sattler, including a meeting with Prince Duarte, and then the secret talks between Sattler and Prince Duarte, which led to the reversal of Prince Duarte's attitude. Before I had time to say anything later, He was interrupted by old man Wei Qingshan.
So the leaders at this moment are a little surprised but not too surprised. After all, Saudi Arabia has gone to Saudi Arabia and the prince has been specially sent home by plane. It is normal and understandable to take a stroll in a nearby country!
"We were in Dubai and met Sattler's friend, Prince Maihad, who is now the mayor of Dubai. He didn't seem very happy or happy about being the mayor, and then we started chatting."
"Every leader knows that in the past, desert countries used to raise camels and grow date palms. Later, oil was discovered, and they became rich."
"But Dubai has average oil reserves, so they want to take advantage of the fact that they still have oil and money in their hands to carry out industrial reform and upgrading and expand the economy. And the reason why Prince Maihad is the mayor is because I’m unhappy because he has no idea of reform.”
"So, I gave him an idea!"
Hearing this, everyone in the conference room suddenly became serious. After all, everyone was also curious, what ideas could Wang Ye come up with?
"My idea is"
As Wang Ye explained, the expressions of everyone present began to change from surprise to shock. Finally, the old man Zhou Jinlie couldn't help but laugh and said with emotion:
"Wang Ye, you are really good at bragging! You have so many clever ideas!"
Regarding this evaluation, the leader Su Mingyuan next to him obviously did not think so, and frowned and said:
"But I think what Wang Ye said makes sense."
“This is indeed a very feasible solution!”
Wang Ye also nodded, smiled and said with a hint of pride:
"Yes, Prince Maihad and the King of Dubai think so too."
"They must give me 10 million US dollars in consulting fees. I said that I just provided a suggestion and a plan. How can I be embarrassed to charge 10 million US dollars? Let's do this. When you develop, I will get it!"
At first, everyone thought that Wang Ye was refusing to ask for money, and his expressions looked quite complicated. Some were appreciative, some were regretful, and some wished they could go back in time. But when they heard the final twist, the scene burst into laughter!
"You kid, why are you so noble and you don't even want the money you put in your mouth?"
“So it turns out you’re just playing a long game to catch the big fish?”
Finally, old man Wei Qingshan smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Wang Ye continued to tell this story under the expectant eyes of everyone:
"I gave Dubai an idea and Sattler looked jealous."
"So I can only give Riyadh in Saudi Arabia an idea. This idea is exactly that plan, and the ultimate goal in the future is to build Riyadh into a scientific crown in the desert, a city of science and technology!"
"To put it simply, the core is to cooperate with us and complement each other's advantages. We provide people and technology, and they provide money."
"The first stage is what I said before. The two sides send students and teachers to each other to start initial contact. On the one hand, it is each other's attempt, and on the other hand, it also lays the foundation for the follow-up. After all, most of our scientific researchers do not know how to Arabic, most of their people do not know our Chinese, and during this period of time, these basic problems need to be improved."
"The first stage can also be divided into multiple steps. For example, what I said before is the first step, which is to match our Red Star Technical Secondary School with their Riyadh University."
Having said this, old man Zhou Jinlie couldn't bear it anymore and directly laughed and said:
"Can I be happy with this? You are just a technical secondary school, and this is the best university in Saudi Arabia. Can I talk to you?"
Wang Ye smiled and said:
"Although we are called a technical secondary school, we run the school according to the standards of a university and a world-class university."
"Why can't we talk to each other?"
The leader Su Mingyuan next to him was very dissatisfied with Zhou Jinlie's interruption and said with an unhappy face:
"Go, go, go! What's wrong? Wang Ye, go on!"
Then Wang Ye continued:
"The first step is to pilot university counterpart exchanges, and then the second and third steps are to pilot exchanges with more universities until we reach a scale where you have me and I have you. The foundation must be large enough!"
"Then we can start the second stage, which is the exchange of young and middle-aged scientific researchers."
"They send people to our side to do internships in our laboratories. Of course, this also has to be paid. And when our scientific researchers go to work in their scientific research units, they also have to pay us wages."
"And considering that except for petroleum, they still have some scientific research foundation, and other aspects are basically zero, then they have to build a new scientific research institute and scientific research base. Naturally, they will pay for the construction, but they do not understand the professional direction. and related technologies, it can only be under our command, and they will build whatever project laboratories we ask them to build."
"For example, they are very interested in aerospace, and we are also very interested. For example, in aviation, they are definitely interested in large aircraft. After all, they are located in the Middle East. If the shipping industry can develop, it will be great! Also! For example, in terms of large-scale integrated circuits, which is the future development direction of the world, and in terms of precision machining equipment, etc., there are many, many things we can cooperate with!"
"Of course, we have to start from the shallower to the deeper, from the outside to the inside, from the ordinary to the sensitive. Only in this way can we proceed step by step, right?"
When they heard this, the eyes of many leaders present seemed to turn into headlights. It was so bright, because a magnificent blueprint was slowly unfolding in front of them!
"As for the third stage, it is the stage where large-scale production will produce results."
"The scientific research knowledge achievements we both have can begin to be transformed into commercial results, and the entire project that originally relied solely on investment can gradually gain profits. Let me give you an example, let's take airplanes."
"If we can build a regional or even trunk line or intercontinental level large aircraft, then the technology belongs to both of us. When production starts, they, Saudi Arabia, have a small population and can only undertake a small part of the production. Tasks, and most of the production tasks still have to be completed here, even if it is finally assembled by them and then sold under their brand, we will still make a profit!"
"After all, we actually already have the ability to produce and assemble this kind of aircraft by ourselves at any time, but during the cooperation period, we don't have to do this. Anyway, we are making money."
“And through this plan, we can also solve a big problem, that is, compared to ours, Saudi products are more easily accepted by the world, and can be sold to a wider range of countries. We can choose to make money in obscurity, and we don’t necessarily have to live like It’s a firecracker, leader, don’t you think so?”
"More importantly, if we master the manufacturing technology of large aircraft, then of course we will be able to produce transport aircraft and bombers. These do not belong to the civilian field and have nothing to do with Saudi Arabia's cooperation. We can produce them at will. Is this the case? ?”
As soon as these words came out, many leaders present were completely uneasy, because after China's current large aircraft project was almost overturned and rebuilt, there is actually no financial support for continued research and development!
But the role and significance of large aircraft are very clear to everyone present!
China needs large aircraft, and China needs to develop air transportation. If China cannot produce large aircraft, it will have to spend precious foreign exchange to buy large aircraft. And if China does not have the technology to produce large aircraft, it will never be able to produce its own. Heavy transport aircraft and heavy bombers, and heavy bombers are the most important guarantors of national security!
Because among the trinity of nuclear strikes, space-based platforms rank first!
