Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1714: Mass Production

As for that company, if it didn't have the strong financial support of the country, relying on the strong support of the local government, could it have developed to this point? Ji Donglai has relied entirely on his own judgment and persistence over the years.

True leaders often make correct decisions with a willful nature, which has been verified in Ji Donglai and many modern Chinese leaders.

There are thousands of tactics, but the first one is to be brave enough to fight. Li Dongxin didn't believe in challenging the chip manufacturing process, but now? He succeeded!
Ji Donglai did it when it didn’t succeed before, and now that it has succeeded, Li Dongxin must support it.

During the party on a cruise ship in the Aegean Sea, Li Dongxin booked a private room with all kinds of entertainment facilities.

Ji Donglai hadn't played for a long time, so he followed Li Dongxin downstairs to play for a while. Half an hour later, he and Li Dongxin entered the room together. The waiter had already prepared the banquet, and there were four middle-aged men in casual clothes in the room.

"Boss Ji, these are all my former classmates from the training class. This one..."

The four people in front of him were named Song, Li, Zheng, and Long! Ji Donglai handed over his business card to each of them. These people were all powerful figures in charge of port operations, and ordinary people could not be invited out at all.

"It's better to meet him in person than to hear about him. Everyone says that Mr. Ji is young, but I realized he is really young when I met him. He has built such a big company in his thirties. Compared with Mr. Ji, we have lived in vain!"

Mr. Song liked Ji Donglai at first sight. He was dressed simply and had a maturity that was not in line with his age. His every move was full of smiles.

"That's right. Mr. Ji is so young and promising. It's so rare. If it weren't for Mr. Li's introduction, we would have thought that Mr. Ji was the son of some family. I'm so sorry!"

Several people learned Ji Donglai's true identity. Although the Hu family was defeated, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Ji Donglai and the Hu family have children, and the fact that their business is still so big speaks volumes.

"I'm so sorry for what you guys said. I came late, so I'll drink a glass of wine as punishment. You guys, please feel free to drink first."

Facing a few people, Ji Donglai drank a glass of white wine, and the few people did not hesitate.

Ji Donglai's company can do everything from communications to various mechanical services. This time, a garbage treatment plant is going to be built here, and the clean energy generated every year is needed by several people.

Ji Donglai, the chairman of the group, came in person, and several people felt greatly respected and expressed that the future was promising. Because Ji Donglai's mechanics had extensive overseas construction experience, half of the maintenance work at the port was simply contracted to Ji Donglai.

As for the communications here, Yiyuan Network is about to launch four satellites this year. Once the networking is completed, the network here will spare no effort to access it.

As for the leasing of berths at the dock, these are small matters.

"Mr. Ji, you are doing scientific research, and we are brothers. I am older and have some questions in my mind. They are not willing to talk to me. We are not outsiders together. Can you say a few more words to me?" Mr. Long is the oldest among the few people. He is over 50 years old this year. Sitting there like a Buddha, he has a rough appearance, which is obviously different from the people in front of him.

After drinking almost enough, several people started chatting separately. Mr. Long happened to be close to Ji Donglai and started to chat too. Ji Donglai put down his glass and motioned for him to continue talking.

"Boss Ji, we have so many scientists, why can't we make many things? In the past, when we had nothing, it would take us a few years to make something. Now there are so many scientists, and it seems difficult to make anything."

"Let's not talk about anything else. We don't even have car engines, chips, or space shuttles. What's going on? I always feel like each generation is getting worse than the last!"

President Long was filled with indignation when he said these words. Li Dongxin, who was standing next to him, also heard what he said. He turned his head and felt nervous.

Mr. Long does not have a high level of education, but he has been able to reach his current position and travel all over the country and abroad. This is very telling. If Ji Donglai's answer does not satisfy the other party, it will be easy to offend him. Li Dongxin covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly. Ji Donglai understood what the other party meant and touched his senior brother with his foot.

"Boss Long, this question is actually easy to answer, but it's hard for people in the system to answer. I'm not in the system, so please don't mind my few drunken words!"

As he spoke, Ji Donglai looked around the room, lit a cigarette for Mr. Long, and gave the rest to his senior brother to light for a few people. The room gradually became quiet, and Mr. Long listened quietly.

"In fact, this matter is related to four aspects: technology, craftsmanship, ability, and character!"

“Technology and craftsmanship are constantly being upgraded. If you don’t understand how to apply craftsmanship, that’s a problem of cognition. If you understand craftsmanship but can’t do it well, that’s a problem of ability. If you understand craftsmanship and can do it well but can’t do it well, that’s a problem of character!”

"As far as I know, seniority is very important in many scientific research structures. The later the technology develops, the more serious this situation is. This is especially true in state-owned scientific research institutions. Why did it seem that many things were done very quickly in the past? Because people didn't have so much seniority."

"Especially when the country was founded, there were many scientists returning from overseas. These people were the result of the great selection process. Not every one of them is a gold, but many are even diamonds and platinum. They simply disdain to fight for power and profit, otherwise they would not have returned from a favorable environment to a poor country to eat coarse food and do engineering in the desert."

"It's completely different now. People enter any organization just for the salary. Everyone's job is the same as when they were in school, and they are scored according to their level and then promoted. Every step is programmed and procedural. Some people have ideas in their hearts and then enter the organization."

"But as a small researcher, who will give you the right to lead a project? You will not be allowed to work on a project alone. You must first obtain the approval of your supervisor and report it to higher authorities. Once your project conflicts with that of a leading leader, you will never be able to succeed in a scientific research institution in your lifetime."

"So now you see that there are more and more scientists in our country, but fewer and fewer scientific research results! This is not only true in China, but also in the whole world. So don't worry..."

When it comes to the topic of scientific research, Ji Donglai has deep feelings.

Fan Zhongbao was dug out from the organization by himself. Now he is definitely a rough gem of the company. The satellite and communication projects of the entire company are developing by leaps and bounds.
