Chapter 1496 Going Abroad at Public Expenses
In the R&D center of Tianyin Group, where Duan Yun has always focused on middle-aged and young people, He Qingsheng is considered too old. In state-owned enterprises, he has reached the age of retirement and does not meet Duan Yun's employment standards.

However, for some technicians, it can be said that the older they are, the more popular they are. Their technical level and experience are far from what young people can match, so sometimes, in some technical project teams, it is necessary to have such age Relatively large scientific researchers sit in the town, although their physical strength and energy are far inferior to those of young people, they can play a very important role at critical times. Because of this, although Duan Yun wants to make his scientific research team younger, but for some qualifications Elderly experts with high and strong ability are still very welcome.

Knowing that He Qingsheng was one of the few employees in the company who had the experience of studying in the Soviet Union, Duan Yun immediately walked over to him, planning to arrange an important new task for him.

In fact, it was not easy for all the students to study in the Soviet Union in the 60s and [-]s. They were basically young elites carefully selected by the country. After returning to China, these people did contribute a lot to the country's industrial construction. the power of.

When New China was established in 1949, the Soviet Union officially announced its recognition of New China and became the first country to establish diplomatic relations with New China, which was a great support for China at that time.

At the beginning of the founding of New China, a lot of waste was waiting to be built. In order to quickly restore and develop the national economy, a large number of talents were needed, but domestic self-cultivated talents could not meet the needs of development. Sending overseas students to learn advanced science and technology has become an important choice. .

However, when it comes to the selection of foreign students, the country puts forward very strict standards. Any foreign student who wants to study in the Soviet Union must pass three tests.

The first hurdle is business learning assessment, the second hurdle is strict political review, and the third hurdle is students’ physical health.

At that time, the candidates for international students were all top students carefully selected from domestic universities. In addition, in terms of political review, they also paid great attention to the background of the students. Once they were found to be descendants of landlords and rich peasants in the old society, their qualifications would be immediately disqualified. This was also a special requirement of that era.

As for the last point, it was because the living standards of the people in China were low at that time, and many students were malnourished. In order to maintain the image of the country, the State Council issued a special instruction: Students studying abroad should not be sallow and emaciated. No matter how poor the country is, they must be healthy. .

It is precisely because of the instructions of the country that these international students not only have good food, but also when they go abroad, each boy is allotted two sets of suits, in addition to a cotton coat and a vest, including shorts, shoes, socks When everything is ready, everything is available, enough for 5 years of use.

In 1953, the first batch of foreign students from New China went to the Soviet Union, and then several batches of foreign students were sent to study in the Soviet Union. In 1, He Qingsheng became the third batch of foreign students sent to the Soviet Union by the government and studied there for 1957 years. years, and did not return to China until 3.

"He Gong, have you been in contact with the Soviet Union over the years?" Duan Yun asked.

"I went back to the Soviet Union in 87. At that time, I visited my alma mater in the name of the "Alumni Association in the Soviet Union", but it is a pity that most of my tutors when I was studying in Soviet universities have passed away..." When he said this, He Qingsheng's face flashed with sadness, and he went on to say: "However, many Soviet classmates are still alive, and they have all become the backbone of scientific research units in the Soviet Union. At that time, the scene was really touching. Our Chinese old schoolmates were also warmly welcomed by these Soviet classmates, and they invited us to their home for dinner... We haven’t seen each other for nearly 30 years, but the friendship between classmates back then has not diminished at all. I think It's really not easy to think..."

"It's really not easy. We are separated by thousands of miles, and the friendship between classmates has not been buried for so long. This kind of friendship has crossed national borders and time." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "He Gong, I plan to pay for you to go to the Soviet Union again. how do you feel?"

"Huh?" He Qingsheng was taken aback when he heard the words, then looked at Duan Yun with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Manager Duan, you mean to arrange for me to go to the Soviet Union?"

"That's right, that's what I mean. I want you to travel to the Soviet Union and catch up with your classmates." Duan Yun raised the corner of his mouth, and then said: "All expenses for your trip to the Soviet Union will be borne by the company, including The company will also pay for your accommodation, meals and treats abroad, and will also give you a business travel allowance of 50 yuan per person per day, what do you think?"

"Of course there's no problem!" He Qingsheng complied straightforwardly when he heard the words, but asked Duan Yun after a while: "Manager Duan, you arranged for me to go to the Soviet Union. You didn't just let me catch up with my classmates, did you?"

He Qingsheng was already in his sixtieth year, so naturally he didn't believe that such a good thing came for nothing. It was impossible for the company to pay him to travel to the Soviet Union for free without any additional conditions.

"Hehe, I do have a task to entrust to you." Duan Yun smiled, and then said: "This time, in addition to you, the company will also arrange for a few people present to form a team to go to the Soviet Union for inspection. The purpose of the inspection is It is a long-term task to obtain the detailed information of some outstanding scientists and engineers in some universities and scientific research institutes in the Soviet Union..."

Duan Yun began to explain his plan in detail to He Qingsheng and others.

Duan Yun's goal is obvious, that is to let people like He Qingsheng do some research on relevant Soviet colleges and research institutes in the name of traveling abroad, and get in touch with some of the top Soviet scientists as much as possible, and establish contact with them channels.

In fact, as a foreign company, it is not easy to get in touch with engineers from some universities and scientific research institutes in the Soviet Union, especially some sensitive advanced scientific and technological research departments, which are even more difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with.

However, people like He Qingsheng had the experience of studying abroad in their early years, and they were all technicians from the Academy of Comprehensive Sciences or the National Advanced Research Institute before, so He Qingsheng and others can completely use the guise of national technical exchanges to compete with Soviet technology. personnel and may invite them to visit China.

Because the Soviet Union has not yet disintegrated, Duan Yun cannot directly poach people. What he can do now is to contact and communicate with these Soviet scientists first, and establish a communication channel. After the Soviet Union disintegrates, Duan Yun can conduct his own research. step by step plan...
