1980s: He was picked up and brought home as a son-in-law

What Zhou Feng considered shameless speech was not so unacceptable in the 1980s.

The domestic industrial foundation was weak and there was no patent protection. When an invention that could be widely promoted came out, it would often be donated and promoted all over the country. In the era of economic development, everything must give way to the improvement of production efficiency.

As an inventor, all he could get was a certificate of honor and a big red flower. Material rewards are not recommended now.

Although this is the result of the background of the times, it does have a certain impact on the enthusiasm of inventors.

Of course, this model is an unspoken rule, and it does not include inventions that are difficult to promote, such as chip design, and it is useless to promote it.

Qi Zhongtang just took advantage of the loophole, bullied Zhou Feng's youth, set him up, and asked him from the moral high ground whether he wanted to donate it to the country?

Gu Jun frowned, and other officials from the Ministry of Commerce were somewhat tempted, and all looked at Zhou Feng, wondering how the young man would answer.

Zhou Feng knew that he had to speak at this time. Once the argument of dedicating it to the country came out, it was not appropriate for others to take the blame for him.

He stood up directly, but his eyes did not look at Qi Zhongtang, but at Gu Jun.

Qi Zhongtang had a smile in his eyes. He wanted to see how Zhou Feng would break his trap. If he agreed, it would be exactly what he wanted. If he didn't agree, he would be labeled as unpatriotic. He was looking forward to Zhou Feng's answer.

Zhou Feng bowed to Gu Jun, but when he spoke, it was like the cold wind in December, full of murderous aura.

"Minister Gu, I suggest that the country investigate Qi Zhongtang. I suspect he is an enemy spy. The empire is determined to destroy us. Let someone like Qi Zhongtang completely snuff out the sparks that have just been ignited in the country."

The words were righteous and powerful, and his eyebrows were like knives, pointing at Qi Zhongtang with murderous intent.

The conference room was boiling with excitement, and Qi Zhongtang was also stunned.

"you..."

Qi Zhongtang was interrupted by Gu Jun before he could finish his words. His brows furrowed even deeper and he looked at Zhou Feng and said:

"Comrade Zhou Feng, this is the Ministry of Commerce.

Zhou Feng was not afraid at all and asked directly:

"Minister Gu, what national regulations require that developed chips must be submitted?"

"That's not the case."

Zhou Feng nodded and continued:

"Then who are you, Qi Zhongtang, to ask me whether I should hand over this chip to the country and let you in Jiangnan produce it?"

"If I hand it in, it means I love my country. If I don't hand it in, it means I have my own considerations."

"What does it have to do with Jiangnan Radio Qi Zhongtang? This is the Ministry of Commerce, not your private plot!"

"The production line has not yet landed in Jiangnan, and you dare to say this. After it lands, will you take the design of whoever you want? If I don’t give it to you, it means you are unpatriotic?"

Zhou Feng's words expressed the deep thoughts of many researchers, but no one dared to express it. How can they continue to mix with the hat of being unpatriotic?

Qi Zhongtang was so angry that his body was shaking, and he stood up directly.

"you..."

Zhou Feng would never give him a chance to speak.

"What do you mean by"you"? The reason I say you are an enemy spy is because you have bad intentions!"

"How can you guarantee that all chip designers will choose to donate for free? Once this precedent is set, do you think some people from poor families will let you know their research and development results?"

"If you succeed, how many excellent designers will be lost in our country? If the interests of developers cannot be guaranteed, which overseas study elite do you think will choose to return to China to contribute?"

Zhou Feng's words touched the hearts of most people present. Gu Jun felt that something was wrong when Qi Zhongtang just proposed it. After Zhou Feng's words, he finally figured out the key and broke out in a cold sweat.

Talent is always the most scarce. Some time ago, they also specifically studied the talent introduction plans of foreign semiconductor industries. Each one shows the greatest sincerity of a country and region for talents.

The country is not so wealthy and cannot provide such favorable conditions, but it cannot even guarantee the most basic rights and interests of these talents!

Qi Zhongtang blushed and said,"I..."

"What do you mean by"I"? I'm going to say this today. I will never donate my designs for free. That would be disrespectful to my achievements!"

"The country is vigorously developing its economy. What's wrong with me making money with my own ability?"

"I will not give this chip to Factory 712 for free. If they want to produce it, they have to pay for it. I also resist any free donation!"

"Even if you, Jiangnan Radio Factory, pay me, I will not authorize you, because I don't like you! Of course, you can also produce privately without me, that's okay, I promise that all my subsequent designs will not appear in China!"

Everyone was shocked when Zhou Feng finished speaking. Just now, they thought that Zhou Feng, a young man, had clear thinking, but now they are lamenting that he is still too young. In such occasions, you can express your own opinions, and people will think you are real.

But you publicly expressed that you do not advocate free donations. What is the difference between this and Qi Zhongtang's words just now? Dedication has always been the main spiritual tone of the country, and in reality there are indeed many patriots who are burning and dedicating themselves all the time.

And the meaning of Zhou Feng's words is very clear. If you dare to disrespect the developers in this way, he will never give you a second chance to disrespect. Zhou Feng can do this, and so can others.

If this happens, the domestic research and development soil will be completely ruined.

""Zhou Feng!"

Li Daochang called him softly, wanting him to sit down.

But Zhou Feng stood straight like a javelin, without the slightest thought of retreating.

Qi Zhongtang was overjoyed, and his sweaty body instantly returned to normal. His smooth head became shiny again, and he shouted angrily:

"Zhou Feng, you are a heretic. If it weren't for the selfless dedication of our predecessors, you wouldn't have the opportunity to speak so arrogantly here today! Are you threatening the country?"

Zhou Feng smiled sarcastically at Qi Zhongtang, secretly cursing that this guy was really born in the year of the dog, and turned to look at Gu Jun:

"Minister Gu, the reason why I say this is because the semiconductor industry is different from others. What it needs is for a hundred flowers to bloom. If you don't seek money, you can donate your income to mountainous areas, to schools, to lonely elderly people, and to colleges and universities!"

"This is a personal choice. If he wants to make money and want honor, then he should ask for it openly and use it to stimulate more enthusiasm for research and development."

"Some people would say, I do research and development just to contribute to the country and to create value for the country!"

Gu Jun nodded. He knew that there were many such people. In the scientific research team, the proportion of pure people was still very high.

Zhou Feng looked around and saw that everyone was thinking, so he said loudly:

"Who told you that making money for yourself is not contributing to the country? Take me for example, I can not only deliver this chip and all my future designs to China, but also authorize them to be produced abroad. Doesn't the foreign exchange I earn not count as foreign exchange?"

"I will use the money I earn to continue to expand the R&D team and upgrade the equipment, which will form a virtuous circle. The same is true for state-owned enterprises. Earning more foreign exchange can better promote the development of enterprises."

"Everyone here is a senior expert in the semiconductor industry. We all know Moore's Law, which states that the speed of upgrading is every two years. If you don't have long-term, stable funding for research and development, how can you develop? If you don't fall behind, who will?"

"If you are not careful, you will fall behind. What are you doing if you have no money? I am not obsessed with money. I make money for better development. This is not a choice, but I have to make money!"
