The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 92 Dividends

Zhang Zhipeng is quite satisfied with being able to achieve a doctorate in such a short period of time.

He smiled and said: "Zhipeng obeys all the teacher's arrangements!"

Zheng Jingzhi smiled and nodded and said, "Take this manuscript back and see if there are any improvements."

"On my side, let's talk to the principal and say hello to the school publishing house, and try to get your book published before the Spring Festival."

Zhang Zhipeng took his manuscript back and made revisions and improvements.

Zheng Jingzhi went to discuss it with the principal Dong Haoming.

After listening to Zheng Jingzhi’s story, Dong Haoming said happily: “It’s really amazing that a doctoral thesis can be written to such a high level!”

"I'll say hello to the school publishing house, and Comrade Zhipeng will publish his book as soon as he has revised and perfected it!"

"Yeah! From now on, we students majoring in aerospace and astronautics will all take this as a course!"

In the following period, Zhang Zhipeng's first monograph began to go through the publishing process.

NPU Press lists this book as the most important academic monograph publishing plan at the beginning of the year.

By late January 1992, Zhang Zhipeng's monograph "Fighter Engine Design and Manufacturing" was printed and published.

The first printing was only 3 copies. Because after all, academic monographs are just niche books and not many people read them.

The first printing of 3 is no longer too small.

After the book was published, principal Dong Haoming got a copy first.

He read it carefully. After reading it, he was very emotional: It is indeed a work of genius!

If you study this book carefully, you will definitely gain a lot!

So Dong Haoming asked his secretary Qian Yizhou to request dozens of books from the publishing house. He mailed these books to some famous figures in the aviation industry.

Naturally, they include many professors and department heads from famous science and engineering universities.

Famous professors and experts in related majors of the Seven National Defense Masters are all required to send a copy.

Dong Haoming wanted to show off.

Our school has produced such a genius and written such a good book. We cannot just enjoy it alone, but we must all enjoy it.

Dong Haoming also hopes that other schools can use this book as a teaching material.

However, in order to protect Zhang Zhipeng's identity, this book still uses Zhang Zhipeng's pseudonym "Long Changzhi".

School of Aerospace, Harbin Institute of Technology, the office of Dean Zhang Yousong.

Zhang Yousong just received a book from his old friend Dong Haoming.

Zhang Yousong opened the package. In addition to a book, there was also a letter in the package.

Dong Haoming told Zhang Yousong in the letter that this book is a doctoral thesis written by a young genius in our school. It is very well written, has solid content, and has strong practical application.

Dong Haoming hopes that Zhang Yousong will read it carefully. If you think the book is not bad, you can try to promote it as a teaching material at Harbin Institute of Technology.

After Zhang Yousong read the letter, he picked up the new book that still smelled of ink.

The title of the book attracted Zhang Yousong very much: "Design and Manufacturing of Fighter Engines".

The title of this book is a bit too big.

Moreover, it is unlikely that anything new will be researched.

Generally speaking, doctoral thesis will not choose such a large topic.

Zhang Yousong thought to himself, Old Dong is suspected of selling melons to Mrs. Wang!

Can a student thoroughly understand the design and manufacturing of aircraft engines?

He tried to read the book anyway.

As soon as Zhang Yousong read this, he was attracted by this book.

He was very shocked.

Because the content of this monograph is very novel and it puts forward many new and convincing theories.

Is this really written by a PhD student?

Zhang Yousong was a little confused.

He began to read the book with all his heart.

He spent three days giving the book a rough read.

After reading it, Zhang Yousong closed the book and sighed softly: It is really a work of genius!

I have long heard that Zheng Jingzhi’s team from Northwestern Polytechnical University has overcome difficulties in mass manufacturing of rhenium single crystal blades.

It seems that this young doctor should be a very important participant.

This monograph is indeed very well written!

It is already beyond the level of most experts and professors in the aviation field!

Zhang Yousong thought to himself that using this book as a teaching material is actually quite good.

How envious!

Why are such good talents not from our Harbin Institute of Technology?

Zhang Yousong grabbed the phone on the office table.

He started calling Dong Haoming.

At this time, outside the window of his office, heavy snow was falling.

The call was put through.

It was Dong Haoming who answered the phone in person.

Zhang Yousong expressed congratulations to Dong Haoming: "Old Dong! Congratulations to you! Our school has trained another genius!"

Dong Haoming smiled and said: "Thank you! Lao Zhang, did you receive the book I sent you?"

Zhang Yousong said with a smile: "I have finished reading it. After reading it, I was so impressed that I fell into admiration!"

"You are right in what you said in your letter. This book on fighter engine design and manufacturing is indeed very well written."

“It’s simply beyond good!”

“Very suitable as a teaching material!”

"And we have decided to use this book as a textbook for all sophomore students in our related majors!"

"Of course, it is actually more suitable for graduate courses!"

"Well, you can print 3000 copies for us first..."

In this way, Dong Haoming succeeded in getting Harbin Institute of Technology to use Zhang Zhipeng's monograph as a teaching material.

Why did you add the word "again"?

That's because before this, schools such as China Southern Airlines and Beihang University had given feedback and felt that this monograph was very suitable as a teaching material, so they decided to use this book as a teaching material.

Therefore, Zhang Zhipeng's doctoral thesis "Fighter Engine Design and Manufacturing" was reprinted twice just after it was published.

The total print run reached 3 copies!

For an academic monograph, this is really quite successful.

While Dong Haoming recommended Zhang Zhipeng's book nationwide, Zhang Zhipeng also accepted a secret doctoral thesis defense.

He successfully passed the defense and obtained his doctoral thesis, thus graduating with a doctorate.

After Zhang Zhipeng got his doctorate through defense, Dong Haoming had a conversation with Zhang Zhipeng.

He smiled and said: "Comrade Zhipeng, your doctoral thesis is a great success this time!"

"Currently, more than ten schools across the country are ready to use your monograph as a teaching material. The school publishers are very happy. They have never encountered this situation before. The academic monograph has a print run of 3 copies in a short period of time."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "I am very happy to be able to bring glory to the school."

Dong Haoming said: "Thank you for winning so much glory and benefit for our school!"

"I really didn't expect that Loongson Company's profit in the past year reached more than 5 million yuan. This is amazing! According to the dividend ratio set by Zhipeng, we will pay out 2 million yuan as dividends."

"Twenty percent of the shares of our school can actually be allocated to 4 million! This is really important to the development of our school!"

Loongson Company was very prosperous in the past 1991. The chips it produced were sold well all over the country. Its revenue exceeded 8 million and its net profit was more than 5 million!

This achievement alone is already very impressive among state-owned enterprises.

Of course, strictly speaking, Loongson cannot be regarded as a pure-blooded state-owned enterprise.

Because Zhang Zhipeng himself also owns 20% of the shares!

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Principal, in the future, our school will get more profits! The annual output value of more than 8 million has just begun!"

Dong Haoming smiled and said: "I am already very satisfied, you know? The school funding we received last year was only more than 3000 million!"

At this time, the funding for running schools in various universities is still relatively small. Across the country, there is no school with more than 3000 million in funding. As one of the seven key universities of national defense, NPU’s annual school funding is only about million yuan.

Because of this, Dong Haoming is really satisfied that the school can receive 4000 million yuan in profit dividends.

With this money, the infrastructure projects that the school originally planned but had no money to build can now be launched.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Principal, in a few years, when our Loongson Company really starts to develop rapidly, our school is likely to receive hundreds of millions in dividends!"

"By that time, NPU will become the key university with the highest funding!"

"My goal is actually very simple. We cannot settle for mediocrity and strive to become the best university of science and engineering in the country! We will trample Qinghua under our feet!"

When Dong Haoming heard what Zhang Zhipeng said, he shook his head and laughed: "How is that possible?"

"Qinghua is a top university in the country that has been built with the whole country's efforts. We can't compare with others!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Don't belittle yourself!"

"As long as we continue to produce great results! Our school will have a chance to gain national attention!"

“Universities still have to rely on results to speak for themselves, right?”

Dong Haoming said with a smile: "Then our school's hope rests on you!"

"I hope you continue to work hard, oh no! I hope we can work hard together, let alone beat Qinghua, let's completely win Chang'an Jiaotong University first!"

From the 80s to the mid-90s, Guazhou University actually always outperformed Changan Jiaotong University.

This can be seen from the school funding.

For example, in 1991, Gua University's educational funding was more than 3300 million yuan, while Chang'an Jiaotong University only had more than million yuan. The funding gap is not small.

Zhang Zhipeng laughed and said: "I think the principal's idea is a bit too conservative, haha!"

"Since we want to be the best in the country, let's be the best in the country! Well! Even the best science and engineering university in the world!"

"Robin and John Bull's universities have good foundations, but I really don't believe how strong they are."

Dong Haoming shook his head and said, "Your goal is too high. If it really comes true, it would be amazing!"

"Zhipeng, you have also graduated with a doctorate now. According to regulations, the school can issue you a letter of appointment as an associate professor. We have already said that we hope you can take a few classes. Next semester, how about we arrange for you to teach your class? How about this monograph?”

"I won't arrange too many classes for you, just one class a week, two hours each time, okay? Then, we will make it a big class and take it in a lecture theater."

This is what Dong Haoming wants to discuss with Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Of course I will agree to the principal's arrangement."

"You can just ask the Academic Affairs Office to schedule classes directly."

Zhang Zhipeng is still happy to take on some responsibility for teaching and educating people.

After all, he also hopes to help the country cultivate more outstanding talents.

However, it was said that Loongson Company's application for a dividend of 1992 million yuan in early was submitted to Zhao Bingkun.

Distributing 200 million in dividends all at once is no small matter. This kind of thing has never happened before.

Loongson Company is a company controlled by the Committee of Science and Industry. It stands to reason that Zhao Bingkun can directly make the decision and approve the decision.

But the amount of money was a bit huge, and he felt that he couldn't make the decision without authorization.

Therefore, he sent the report to his superiors.

This matter has also generated some controversy.

Opponents believe that the amount of dividends is huge, and funds are needed everywhere for national construction. This money should not be used for dividends, but should be turned into construction funds.

But supporters said: Loongson is a joint-stock company, and joint-stock companies must of course act in accordance with market rules!

Since the country allows some people to get rich first, then this dividend should be carried out!

Otherwise, how can it create an incentive effect?

Zhang Zhipeng has made such a great contribution, is he going to go back on his word?

In the end, the leader made the final decision: "Follow the agreement signed before! We must not chill people's hearts!"

This finally settled the controversy.

After Zhao Bingkun received the approval, he immediately followed the formal process and approved Zhang Zhipeng's application for a dividend of 2 million yuan.

According to this dividend standard, the Science and Technology Commission suddenly became a profitable unit.

Because they own 40% of the shares!

This time you can get as much as 8 million in dividends.

Zhao Bingkun was very happy.

His department is the God of Wealth in the eyes of many scientific research units.

Many units across the country want to get scientific research funding from him.

However, funds are actually limited and can only be supported by selecting key projects.

Just give up on things that are not important.

Now, with this 8 million dividend, we can increase funding for some urgently needed scientific research projects.

Zhao Bingkun was very satisfied.

He immediately called Zhang Zhipeng and informed Zhang Zhipeng of the good news.

When Zhang Zhipeng received this call, a stone fell from his heart.

He immediately told the shareholders about the good news.

Then it’s time to split the money.

Zhang Xiuwu, the main comrade in charge of Qin Province, received the notice from Zhang Zhipeng. Although he was happy, he was also a little seriously disappointed.

Because, the original arrangement was to give Qin Province 20% of the shares!

But Zhang Xiuwu only invested a little money on the grounds that the province was short of money. In the end, they only got 5% of the shares.

If they had 4% of the shares, they would get million this time!

This is a large sum of money for Qin Province.

It's good now, I can only get a quarter, which is 10 million in dividends.

Zhang Xiuwu's heart was filled with regret.

He discussed with Liu Bingyue: "Comrade Bingyue, tell me, if we make up the funds they originally requested, can we still get 20% of the shares?"

Liu Bingyue smiled and shook his head and said, "I think it's too late."

"The 15% originally decided to be given to us has now become incentive shares."

"That is, this 15% is distributed to all employees. According to the size of their contribution, the main employees will receive some dividend shares."

When Zhang Xiuwu heard this, he was very disappointed and regretted: "Oh! I was really a little confused back then!"

"I missed such a good investment."

Qin Province is a poor province and there are many places where money is needed.

Zhang Xiuwu also worries about money every day.

If we can get 30 million more, it will be a great relief to our finances.

But now, it's too late to regret.

However, it would be great to get a dividend of 500 million yuan. After all, they only invested million yuan in the first place.

It only took one year to get back the money and make a lot of money.

The dividend money was quickly allocated.

The happiest people are actually not the three major shareholders: Zhang Zhipeng, the Science and Technology Commission, and NPU.

The happiest people are the employees of Loongson Company.

Because, 5% of the 15% shares were distributed to all employees of Loongson Company.

The remaining 10% will be allocated to talents introduced later.

Of course, the number of shares they receive is determined based on their contribution, importance, etc.

A five percent share dividend is equivalent to 10 million yuan. Currently, Loongson Company has more than 3,000 employees, which means that even the lowest-level employees can receive a share dividend of more than 1,000 yuan.

As for core employees, those who receive the most share dividends can reach 50,000 yuan.
