The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 108 Winning People’s Hearts
Wang Haoran smiled and glanced at everyone sitting in the classroom.

Before he could say anything, and without knowing who took the lead, a warm applause broke out in the classroom.

Wang Haoran also began to applaud.

Today's meeting is similar to a celebration party.

Wang Haoran is just a newcomer at Beijing Institute of Technology.

Although it has the halo of being the first prize winner of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, to be honest, there are too many people in Beijing Institute of Technology who are not convinced.

However, after Wang Haoran led his team to complete the great achievement of the domestic color TV production line, he had completely established his foothold in Beijing Institute of Technology.

The professors had joined his team before, but it was just out of show of support.

But now, Wang Haoran can indeed get benefits by following him, and Wang Haoran's personal prestige has also been established.

This is a perfect start!
Wang Haoran signaled everyone to be quiet.

Soon, the applause died down.

Wang Haoran cleared his throat and said into the microphone: "Comrades, the New Year is coming. What I want is that before the New Year, we should hold a meeting to summarize the projects we have completed together..."

Wang Haoran gave a summary on the topic of domestic color TV production lines.

During the summary process, every member of the research team who made a contribution was praised.

Then, he explained the bonus distribution and the rules for distribution.

At the same time, the amount of bonus that each research team member can receive was announced.

He and the professor have the same reward standard, which is 500 yuan.

Of course, even if some team members are not professors, such as Zhang Aimin, a lecturer in the Department of Materials, and Guo Mingliang, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, their bonus is also 500 yuan because they are the leading organizers.

Overall, this reward is quite fair.

The year-end bonus can actually reach 500 yuan? This amount is not low.

Even for a big professor, it is not a small amount.

For young teachers like Zhang Aimin and Guo Mingliang, it is an even larger sum of money.

Because their total annual salary is only five or six hundred yuan.

This is equivalent to rewarding them with half a year's salary.

When Zhang Aimin learned that he would also be able to receive a reward of 500 yuan, he was so excited that his eyes turned red.

Joining Wang Haoran’s research team has brought him so much!

In the past few months, he has been able to earn an extra 30 yuan a month, which allows him to support his parents in his rural hometown.

More importantly, he learned a lot from participating in this project.

His knowledge system has been greatly improved and his scientific research level has also been greatly enhanced.

Moreover, he has achieved several great results!

It is expected that in a few years, he will be able to be successfully promoted to the title of associate professor.

There are quite a lot of young people participating in Wang Haoran’s project this time.

They all gained a lot.

After Wang Haoran finished reading the list of year-end bonuses, warm applause and cheers rang out in the classroom again.

"Thank you, Comrade Haoran!"

"Thank you so much, Comrade Haoran!"

"Comrade Haoran, if you have any work in the future, please be sure to call me."

Wang Haoran smiled, clapped and nodded. He thought to himself, material rewards are more likely to move people!
Next, Wang Haoran began to distribute red envelopes personally.

The red envelopes are all packed by the school finance department.

At this time, there are no hundred-yuan bills, so 500 yuan is really a thick stack and feels very good.

Even if it's 200 yuan, there are as many as 20 tickets.

Everyone at the scene received their year-end bonus.

There are a few people who feel that they have received too little.

However, when they saw that Wang Haoran only took 500 yuan, they kept silent.

After distributing the bonuses, Wang Haoran clapped his hands and said, "Comrades, the bonuses have been distributed."

"If anyone has any objections, you can come to my office later."

Many people responded happily: "It's great to have money. Anyone who objects is greedy!"

Wang Haoran smiled and nodded, saying, "When we were debugging the experimental color TV production line, we also trial-produced dozens of color TVs."

"I'll ask my superiors to give these color TVs to everyone as prizes..."

Before he finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.

No one expected that there would be color TVs distributed?
However, it seems that more than 50 color TVs are not enough to share, right?

In today's era, color TVs are top-level luxury items.

If someone had a color TV at home, it was a very proud thing.

Everyone had an eager look on their faces, and everyone wanted to know how these color TVs would be distributed.

Wang Haoran cleared his throat and said, "There are more than 56 people in our research team, but we only have color TVs, which is obviously not enough."

"So, we can only adopt this distribution rule: each core member will receive a color TV, and the remaining color TVs will be distributed to everyone through a fair lottery."

"Do you think my approach is fair?"

Naturally, everyone had no objection.

Therefore, each core member received a coupon for a color TV.

The rest will be drawn by lottery, and each other team member will have one chance to draw.

Soon, the lottery was completed.

I was so excited to win a color TV.

Those who didn’t win have no complaints.

After all, everyone has a fair chance.

After the lottery was over, Wang Haoran said a few more words.

He said: "Comrades, our project of domestic color TV production line has come to an end as of today."

"Thank you again to every participant! Thank you for your hard work! Thank you for your outstanding contribution to the development of our motherland."

"Next, after the Chinese New Year, I will start research on another major topic. By then, I hope everyone will actively participate..."

Wang Haoran's words were drowned out by thunderous applause.

The meeting is over.

Wang Haoran was surrounded by the rush of people.

Everyone expressed their willingness to continue working with Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran naturally told them with a smile that his next project would still be in the field of electronic engineering, and he would give priority to team members with whom he had worked before.

The crowd finally dispersed.

Xiao Renming came in front of Wang Haoran.

"Haoran! Congratulations! You have achieved such a great result just after arriving at Beijing Institute of Technology."

Wang Haoran smiled and said modestly: “Dad, my personal power is insignificant.”

"This achievement was completed so quickly mainly due to the strength of the team." "Let me help you deliver the TV home."

Wang Haoran helped Xiao Renming pick up the color TV, and then took it back home for him on his bicycle.

The Chinese New Year is approaching. Although Lin Yaling has not yet had her holiday, she will go home early when there is nothing to do at work.

Lin Yaling was very happy to see the color TV that Wang Haoran helped deliver.

Their family has actually bought a black and white TV at this time.

But now that we have color TV, who would still want to watch black and white TV?

"Old Xiao, without Haoran's help, we will never be able to watch color TV!" Lin Yaling watched her husband and son-in-law changing channels. Soon they tuned in the clear national TV station. It was as clear as water. Lin Yaling was very happy.

Xiao Renming scratched his head and said with a smile: "Haoran has also helped me a lot in academic research!"

"It hasn't been that long since 78, and I have already achieved significant academic results."

"Haha! From now on, I will help Haoran out, and my scientific research achievements in this life will not be bad."

When saying this, Xiao Renming looked very proud.

He felt that his son-in-law was his benefactor.

If it weren’t for Wang Haoran, how could he have won the National Science and Technology Progress Award?

Lin Yaling smiled and said to Wang Haoran: "Haoran, if there is any good opportunity in the future, continue to help your father."

Wang Haoran naturally agreed without hesitation.

After leaving his parents-in-law's home, Wang Haoran went to pick up his color TV and slowly pushed it back home on his bicycle.

When Xiao Lijuan opened the door, she saw Wang Haoran standing outside holding a TV. She hurriedly helped him put it on the table in the bedroom.

There's no way, the living room outside is too small and there's no room for a TV.

Then it can only be placed in the bedroom.

But it’s also good this way, I can watch TV while lying in bed.

"Lijuan, remember when we first came here, we went shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative store, and you were reluctant to buy a TV. What if I said you wanted to build one yourself?"

Wang Haoran asked while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Xiao Lijuan nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that you actually made it happen."

"Haoran, you didn't choose to work on the domestic color TV production line project just because of that sentence, did you?"

She looked at her man, her eyes full of tenderness and pride.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "That's a trigger point."

“Now, I have fulfilled my promise.”

Xiao Lijuan took the initiative to hug Wang Haoran's neck and said, "Thank you, Haoran, you are so good to me..."

In the following days, Wang Haoran prepared for the new project while accompanying Xiao Lijuan to visit relatives and spend time with her parents.

He is considering whether his new research topic should focus on the field of chips or simply take personal computers as the main theme.

After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to solve the chip problem first.

The production of chips is an extremely complex project, with many processes and many technical problems that need to be studied.

Once we have the chip working, it won’t be too late to talk about personal computers.

However, the design of chips with too sophisticated a manufacturing process cannot be drawn by hand and still requires the assistance of computer software.

But for today's micron-level chips, hand-drawn design is not a problem at all.

Thinking this, Wang Haoran began to write his own project application report.

The theme of his research project is: Research on production line optimization of advanced process chips.

Since we are going to make chips, then of course we need to streamline the entire chip production process and upgrade the production equipment. This is obviously a huge project.

Such a project requires scientists from various research fields to work together to complete it.

What Wang Haoran is thinking now is: the talents of Beijing Institute of Technology alone may not be enough. Should we integrate more scientific and technological workers from other schools and research institutes?
However, after careful consideration, he decided to focus on Beijing Institute of Technology!

What he needed now were people to do the work.

Maybe Beijing Institute of Technology doesn't have so many top experts.

But, to be honest, he doesn't need so many big bulls to pull the harness for him.

If there are too many experts in a team, more conflicts are likely to arise.

Because he is a big shot with high qualifications and great influence, he is also very proud of it.

By then, he might even compete with Wang Haoran for the leadership of the project. It is all possible!
It would be better to integrate the scientific and technological workers from Beijing Institute of Technology first.

If scientific and technological workers from other schools or research institutes are willing to come and cooperate, then we will accept them.

This Spring Festival is a busy one for Wang Haoran.

He visited many relatives and went through all the necessary procedures for marrying Xiao Lijuan.

It is normal for relatives to visit each other during the Spring Festival.

But it also brought unexpected troubles to Wang Haoran.

That is: many relatives and friends actually asked him to buy color TVs.

After all, the news has said that after domestic color TVs are put on the market in large quantities, the price will drop significantly. If there is no TV ticket, the price of a domestic color TV will be around 1000 yuan.

If you have a TV ticket, it will cost less than 700 yuan!
Compared with imported color TVs, this is so cheap.

But it is cheap, but you can’t buy it now!

According to news reports, it will take several months before domestically produced color TVs begin to be launched on the market.

Relatives thought, isn't Wang Haoran the inventor of the domestic color TV production line? Then he must have had a way to get it in advance.

But this really puts Wang Haoran in a difficult position, as he really has no other options.

He explained tactfully to his relatives, but some of them were still unhappy, feeling that Wang Haoran did not give them face and was unwilling to even help with such a small favor.

This made Wang Haoran very distressed.

Xiao Renming was also a little distressed.

The news that he had won a 17-inch color TV as a reward spread quickly throughout the family compound.

The color TV in his family is the first one in the entire residential compound.

This TV is not only big, but also in color, and the programs are so clear.

Neighbors in the compound love to visit their house and watch TV.

After 7pm, it won’t take long for the room to be packed with people. It’s really packed…

Xiao Renming is a quiet person. After returning home, he wants to read a book or something.

As a result, nothing can be done now.

In the end, Xiao Renming simply placed his TV in the open space in the yard.

The school logistics department contributed a table and provided electricity.

This TV is put out at night and plays non-stop until all channels are off the air, and then it can be moved back.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Wang Haoran and Xiao Lijuan went to visit Xiao Renming and his wife. When he saw the crowd watching TV downstairs, he estimated that there were at least a thousand people.

There are people everywhere.

He was stunned by this scene!

Wang Haoran thought to himself, "Oh my god! This is the staff quarters of Peking University! Most of the people living here are high-level intellectuals! Watching TV is like watching an open-air movie?"
