Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1225

In fact, the good days of Great Wall Computer did not last long. In 1990, BJ Zhongguancun ushered in its first winter. Under the strong pressure of American companies, the country announced the formal cancellation of the computer product import license approval, and greatly reduced tariffs.

The introduction of the new national policy not only defeated the private individuals and the national team in Zhongguancun, but also caused the Great Wall Company to completely lose its policy umbrella. The high-cost Great Wall computer could not compete with foreign imported computers. In less than half a year, After falling from the position of king, he didn’t recover for a long time. After barely sustaining for a few years, he cooperated with foreign giants and established several joint ventures, so that some posterity commented that the most beautiful part of the Great Wall is capital. Operations, not IT technology.

It is almost impossible for Duan Yun’s chip factory to cooperate with foreign computer manufacturers. PC manufacturers such as IBM have stable and powerful suppliers in their country, and it is impossible for a little-known Chinese chip company to supply them, so Duan Yun can only seek cooperation with PC manufacturers in China.

Moreover, if this cooperation is successful, it will also help Great Wall to resist the competition of foreign-funded enterprises in the future. With the continuous development and growth of the domestic PC industry, Duan Yun's chip factory can also be promoted to a domestic upstream computer supplier. Have a stable base.

However, if Duan Yun wants to realize his idea, there are still many problems to be solved. On the one hand, he needs to reduce the price of chip production and improve the quality and output of chips. The light of domestic computer” has been preserved for a long time.

"I see it this way. After your chips are officially put into production at the end of the year, I will send the chief engineer of our factory to visit your factory, and then we will discuss the cooperation in detail." Wang Zhi said.

In fact, Wang Zhi himself still does not believe in the strength of domestic chips, but if the cost of chips can be reduced as Duan Yun said, it will undoubtedly reduce the production cost of Great Wall Computer and increase the profit of the product at the same time.

Moreover, Wang Zhi wanted to make friends with upstarts in the business world like Duan Yun, so he simply agreed to Duan Yun's cooperation intention.

"Okay, let's make a deal!" Duan Yun looked happy when he heard this, took out his lighter, lit a cigarette for Wang Zhi, and said, "When our chip factory is officially put into operation, I will call you, Manager Wang, and I hope You can attend our groundbreaking ceremony."

"It's easy to say!" Wang Zhi said with a smile.

Afterwards, after the food was served, Duan Yun and Wang Zhi were chatting freely...

……

While Duan Yun and Wang Zhi were discussing cooperation matters, in the cafeteria of the Beizi Institute, Jiang Mingwei and other leaders of the institute got together and had a small meal in the private room of the restaurant.

"Director Yang, this business trip has been exhausting. I haven't seen you for a few days. Everyone misses you a lot. Let me toast you a glass of wine first!" At this time, Xue Chengguang raised his glass and said to the old man sitting in the middle.

"It's just a meeting, and everyone has worked hard." The old man said, holding up his wine glass with a smile on his face, and clinking with everyone.

The old man's name is Yang Guozhong, the director of the Beizi Institute. In his early years, he was a student of the Turtles who returned to China. He was once labeled as a rightist in the chaotic years.

"Director Yang, I want to tell you something..." Jiang Mingwei frowned after putting down his glass.

"Old Jiang, the director just came back, let's talk about the work tomorrow." Seeing this, Xue Chengguang immediately winked at him and said.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say." Yang Guozhong glanced at Jiang Mingwei and said.

Unlike other people, Jiang Mingwei usually doesn't like to drink and socialize, and he rarely speaks on such occasions. Seeing that his expression seems a little wrong today, Yang Guozhong took the initiative to ask.

"It's like this. There are too many people who have applied for suspension of pay in our office recently. More than 30 people in our project team have resigned in the past three days. The entire project can no longer be carried out..." Jiang Mingwei frowned and said .

"More than 30 people have resigned? What is the situation?" Hearing what Jiang Mingwei said, Yang Guozhong's expression changed immediately.

"Isn't it because those foreign companies poach people at high prices!" When he said this, Jiang Mingwei showed a bit of helplessness at this time, only to hear him continue: "Those foreign companies are rich and powerful, and they are willing to give money. Today's young people are not economical at all. Can't stop being tempted..."

"Lao Jiang, the situation you reported didn't just happen in our institute. When I went to Shanghai for a meeting to communicate with the leaders of other colleges and universities, I also talked about the phenomenon of brain drain." Yang Guozhong paused, and then said: "Now that the country is vigorously developing the commodity economy, talents and technologies are beginning to flow into the capital market, and many scientific research institutes across the country are facing the problem of losing their personnel to the sea. In my opinion, reforms will always have labor pains..."

"Director Yang, my foresight and awareness are not as high as yours, and I don't understand reforms. I just want to know how to solve the problem of personnel loss? Now that our project team is almost gone, how to fill this hole? "Jiang Mingwei said anxiously.

"Old Jiang, you don't have to worry about the lack of people in our office. Anyway, our Beizi Institute is also a gold-lettered signboard. There are many people who want to work in our office. Before, many people came to me through connections and wanted them to come to me. I have not agreed with my children or sisters to work in our office, as long as we relax the requirements a bit, we can have as many people as we want." At this moment, Xue Chengguang suddenly interjected.

What Xue Chengguang said is indeed the truth. Although compared with those rich and powerful foreign-funded enterprises, the salary of Beizi Institute is indeed much lower. However, in the eyes of many ordinary college graduates, Beizi Institute is still a very ideal employment unit. After all, it is It is a subordinate research and development unit, and compared to other scientific research institutes in BJ in terms of salary and treatment, it is considered good. An iron rice bowl is still full of temptation for most Chinese people, and they can work in Beijing , will still be envied by many people.

"However, people come and go. I just trained a few technical backbones here, and they left in a blink of an eye. After newcomers come, I have to start training again. From my personal point of view, it's not problem, but without mature R&D personnel, it will seriously delay the R&D process of our project..." Jiang Mingwei said.

"Then take your time. Rome wasn't built in a day. It takes time to do scientific research. Could it be that you still want to eat and become fat?" Xue Chengguang said disapprovingly.

"But……"

"Don't talk about it. Anyway, the country doesn't set a deadline for the project, so you just take your time. As the saying goes, slow work produces meticulous work. If the country is really in a hurry, it has already increased the research and development funds. Why don't you do this? Do you understand?" Xue Chengguang said impatiently.
