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

Chapter 131: Locking in the top talent in advance
Wang Haoran once called Zhang Yongcun, hoping that Zhang Yongcun could help him find a talented young man named Qiu Bojun in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

At that time, Zhang Yongcun was a little surprised: Why did Wang Haoran, who was in Beijing thousands of kilometers away, know that there was such a young man in the rural area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

Wang Haoran explained to him that he had also heard about Qiu Bojun, a young genius who could recite the multiplication table by heart at the age of 3 and could play Go at the amateur level of 5th dan at the age of . Qiu Bojun was even better when he was in high school, getting full marks in math, physics and chemistry in almost every exam, showing amazing talent. With a little training, this child could grow into a great computer software talent.

Zhang Yongcun agreed immediately and said that he would go and see in person as soon as possible what Qiu Bojun looked like.

Wang Haoran thought, this must be news?
Wang Haoran called Zhang Yongcun back.

At this time, important domestic units were all revamping their telephone lines, converting manual switchboards into programmable switches.

Wang Haoran easily dialed the number of Zhang Yongcun’s office.

The call was connected, and Zhang Yongcun was obviously waiting for Wang Haoran's call.

Zhang Yongcun answered the phone immediately.

"Comrade Haoran, you were looking for Qiu Bojun. I found him for you. Moreover, I brought him to Factory 742. Their school just finished the first mock college entrance examination. Qiu Bojun did very well, with full marks in mathematics, physics and chemistry. He seems to be a genius." Zhang Yongcun said.

Wang Haoran was cheered up when he heard Zhang Yongcun say that Qiu Bojun was brought to Factory 742 by him.

"Thank you, Comrade Yongcun. Is classmate Bojun with you?"

Zhang Yongcun said: "Yes, he is next to me, do you want him to answer the phone?"

Wang Haoran said: "Sure, let him answer the phone."

After a while, a boy's childish voice with a strong dialect accent came from the microphone. The voice was a little timid: "Uncle Haoran, hello!"

Wang Haoran was a little amused.

I was only in my early 20s, but Qiu Bojun called me uncle.

However, he didn't care about this: "Hello, classmate Bojun!"

"What plans do you have for the future now?"

Qiu Bojun said: "I don't have any plans. I just want to get into a better university so that I can help reduce the burden on my family."

Wang Haoran smiled and asked again: "Do you have a target school now?"

Qiu Bojun said, "Yes, I want to apply to the Department of Mathematics at the University of Science and Technology of China."

Wang Haoran said: "If I can help you get directly admitted to Beijing Institute of Technology, would you be willing?"

Wang Haoran speaks very directly.

Qiu Bojun was obviously mentally prepared: "I do!"

"Because I read the reports about you and I think you are very amazing."

"You are at Beijing Institute of Technology, so Beijing Institute of Technology must be a very good school."

Wang Haoran breathed a sigh of relief and only asked Bojun to agree, then everything would be easy.

"Well, I'll go through the special recruitment procedures for you myself and get you admitted right away."

"Also, I hope you can come to Beijing right after the Spring Festival. I want to train you to become a computer talent. Do you think that's okay?"

"Yes! I will give you a subsidy of 30 yuan every month."

Qiu Bojun was a little flattered.

I have been noticed by this legendary scientist!

A subsidy of 30 yuan per month is a huge sum of money.

"Thank you uncle!"

"I am willing to follow your arrangements."

"But, isn't 30 yuan a month a bit too much?"

"I don't want to embarrass you..."

Wang Haoran smiled. This child is quite polite and considerate of others.

This is the performance of both IQ and EQ being online.

Wang Haoran said: "You deserve this! I asked you to come here, but I want you to study and help me with the work at the same time."

"Student Bojun, I will go to your house to visit you in the next two days. By the way, let's talk in person."

Qiu Bojun was even more moved.

Because, Wang Haoran was already famous all over the world at this time, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he was already a real big shot.

But such a person actually wanted to come to my house to visit me in person?
"Uncle Haoran, it's a little far. I don't feel comfortable asking you to come." Qiu Bojun said.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "You're welcome. I hope to meet you. I like talented and spiritual children."

Just like that, Wang Haoran made an agreement with Qiu Bojun: he would set off for Wuxi the next day to meet and talk with Qiu Bojun.

After making the call, Wang Haoran felt very happy.

Qiu Bojun is known as the best programmer in Longguo and has independently written many classic software.

The software is very important.

It is only 1979 now. If Longguo starts to make efforts in the software industry now, it will definitely dominate the development of the world's software industry in the future!

After all, in today's Jusa, the IT giants of the future have not yet become big enough.

Microsoft was indeed established today, but it had not yet launched its first operating system software, MS-DOS 1.0.

In fact, DOS was not originally created by Microsoft. Bill Gates developed his own MS-DOS operating system based on the acquisition of Qdos from Seattle Computer Company.

Wang Haoran hopes to develop an international version of the operating system and gradually monopolize the global operating system market.

He didn't know if he could achieve this goal.

But since we have to set a goal, we might as well set it higher.

The next day, Wang Haoran flew straight to Wu Xi.

After he arrived in Wuxi, Zhang Yongcun personally drove a car to the airport to pick him up.

Along the way, Zhang Yongcun talked incessantly to Wang Haoran about the now completely transformed Factory 742.

Now, Factory 742 has completely replaced its production line with a new lithography equipment.

The walk-in lithography machine is so easy to use that it greatly improves efficiency and the production yield has risen sharply to over 80%.

Today, the entire chip industry chain in the Yangtze River Delta has been completely completed and is being put into production in full swing.

Domestic chips can already fully guarantee military use, and can also produce advanced chips that can be used in televisions.

"What excites us most is that Jusa has come to us to negotiate, hoping that we can help them produce some chips!"

"This shows that our chip production has truly reached international advanced standards."

Zhang Yongcun said to Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran smiled faintly and said, "We must remain vigilant against Jusa!"

"Because this country has no credibility! They will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals."

Zhang Yongcun was very surprised: "Comrade Haoran, I think Yusa is pretty good, right? Aren't we on good terms recently?"

"Yusa is also trying his best to help us."

Wang Haoran was stunned.

"Comrade Yongcun, do you think Yusa is doing his best to help us?"

"Don't you see? They just want to use us! Their viciousness towards us has never diminished!"

"They probably want us to help them as thugs!"

"Don't be too naive..."

Wang Haoran spoke to Zhang Yongcun meaningfully, and told him about some of the unfriendly things that Yusa had done recently towards dragons.

After listening to this, Zhang Yongcun felt a little ashamed: "Thank you Comrade Haoran for your reminder."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "We must look at the problem comprehensively and dialectically!"

"See the essence through illusions!"

"We can't be so flattered and feel like we can die for our friend just because he or she has shown us kindness!"

"That's something only a fool would do!"

Wang Haoran's words were a bit sharp.

However, he felt that only by speaking harshly could he wake Zhang Yongcun up.

Zhang Yongcun’s position is too important, there must not be any mistakes!

We arrived at Factory 742 while talking all the way.

This factory hasn't changed much just from the outside.

During this era, the temperature in Jiangnan during winter was also relatively low.

Especially in the past two days, there has been a cold wave, and the hinterland of Jiangnan has also felt the bleakness of winter.

When he arrived at Factory 742, Wang Haoran soon met Qiu Bojun.

Qiu Bojun in front of him was a little thin, and he was a little shy after seeing Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran greeted Qiu Bojun with a smile.

Qiu Bojun also responded timidly.

The current top programmer in Dragon Country is just a young boy.

Wang Haoran asked Qiu Bojun about his study problems.

At the beginning, he asked a question and Qiu Bojun answered it.

However, perhaps because he later saw that Wang Haoran was easy-going and friendly, Qiu Bojun finally opened his heart.

Qiu Bojun told Wang Haoran that he was very interested in mathematics and hoped to further his studies in mathematics in the future.

Of course Wang Haoran wanted to open another window for Qiu Bojun.

In his previous life, Qiu Bojun actually applied to the Department of Mathematics at the National University of Defense Technology.

His interest in computers developed after he entered college.

When Qiu Bojun was studying, computers were very rare even at the National University of Defense Technology.

There are basically only one or two computers in the entire National University of Defense Technology that are treated like treasures.

And there is such a machine in the school library.

After much persuasion, Qiu Bojun was finally allowed to use the computers in the school library.

He used that computer to figure out on his own what he had done and wrote the country's first library management system software.

This immediately caused a sensation in the whole school.

He was even reported by central media because of this software.

This was Qiu Bojun's first time to shine in computer programming.

Therefore, in this world, many geniuses also discovered their talents in certain areas by chance.

Wang Haoran talked with Qiu Bojun about computer programming, programming languages ​​and techniques.

He even used a computer from Factory 742 to give Qiu Bojun a demonstration.

The purpose of his doing this was actually to stimulate Qiu Bojun's talent.

Sure enough, Qiu Bojun did not disappoint Wang Haoran.

Under Wang Haoran's guidance, he was quickly able to write lines of code and create a very sophisticated little program.

Wang Haoran discovered that Qiu Bojun's eyes were shining at this moment.

He knew that he had inspired Qiu Bojun's talent in computer programming.

That's exactly what he's going to do.

"Uncle Haoran, I, I think programming is quite fun." Qiu Bojun said to Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran smiled and nodded, saying, "You are also one of the most talented young people in programming that I have ever seen!"

"Bojun, as long as you follow me and study hard, you will soon become an excellent programmer." Qiu Bojun's face flushed with excitement. He nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle!"

"I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "How about this, when I get back, I'll report to the principal and then ask the education department to admit you in advance. Is that okay with you?"

Qiu Bojun said, "Okay."

Wang Haoran said: "Go back and discuss it with your family. If they agree, I will send someone to pick you up after the Spring Festival."

Qiu Bojun said: "I can make the decision myself!"

"My parents will listen to me."

Wang Haoran smiled and patted his head, saying, "Go back and talk to your parents! Tell them that I will train you to be the world's top programmer! Your name will be written in history books!"

After Wang Haoran gave a few instructions, he took out five 5-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Qiu Bojun.

"Take this money and go back to buy some clothes and a pair of shoes, and spend a happy New Year with your family."

50 yuan in this era is really a lot.

Qiu Bojun was a little panicked. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Uncle, no need."

"You've helped me so much."

Wang Haoran stuffed the money into Qiu Bojun's hand and said, "Uncle gives it to you, just take it!"

"Uncle, I like talented kids like you the most!"

Only then did Qiu Bojun take the money.

Several years later, Qiu Bojun wrote about this scene in his memoirs.

He said that it was Wang Haoran who changed the trajectory of his life.

He said that he was just an ordinary farm boy, who was ignorant and had no idea what a computer was.

Wang Haoran found him and led him in.

Wang Haoran gave him the greatest help and was his benefactor in life.

After meeting Qiu Bojun, Wang Haoran did not stay in Wuxi for too long. He flew back to Beijing that day.

Qiu Bojun was driven back home by someone sent by Zhang Yongcun.

When Qiu Bojun set foot on the land of his hometown again, he still felt a little dizzy.

Qiu Bojun's hometown is a small village.

No car has come to this village for many years.

Qiu Bojun was picked up by a car yesterday and sent back today, which caused a sensation in the whole village.

Everyone in the village said that Qiu Bojun was going to be successful.

However, the child is smart and good at studying, so it is only a matter of time before he succeeds.

After Qiu Bojun returned home, villagers came to visit him one after another.

However, the shy Qiu Bojun did not go to receive the guests himself.

His parents couldn't stop smiling while they were receiving the villagers.

Finally, all the villagers were sent away, and his father then thought of talking to Qiu Bojun.

Qiu Bojun told his father about his meeting with Wang Haoran at Factory 742, how Wang Haoran encouraged him to learn computer programming and wanted to admit him to Beijing Institute of Technology in advance.

He also took out the 50 yuan that Wang Haoran had given him and gave it to his father.

My father was surprised.

Because the family works hard in the fields and can only make enough to have enough food and clothing throughout the year.

The production team rarely distributed money, basically they distributed food.

These 50 yuan are enough to marry a wife.

"Bojun! Comrade Haoran is a great scientist in our country. He praised you, so you must be very outstanding."

"Since he wants you to go to Beijing Institute of Technology to study in advance, you should listen to him."

"Do your best and win glory for the country."

Qiu Bojun's parents admonished their son.

They felt that smoke was coming out of their ancestral graves.

They are really proud that their son is going to Beijing at such a young age!

This Spring Festival was the happiest one for Qiu Bojun.

However, he was still a little nervous, not knowing whether what Wang Haoran said was true.

But his anxiety was soon dispelled, because just two or three days after meeting Wang Haoran, the principal of the middle school where he studied came to his home for a home visit in person.

The principal told Qiu Bojun that Beijing Institute of Technology had given the school a written document with the seal of the education department, and that Beijing Institute of Technology would admit Qiu Bojun through special admissions in advance.

In other words, Qiu Bojun no longer has to take the college entrance examination.

The president said to Qiu Bojun, "Bojun, Beijing Institute of Technology is also a key university, ranked very high in the country, and currently the number of academicians in the university is even as many as that of Peking University and Tsinghua University."

"You don't have to worry about the college entrance examination anymore."

Qiu Bojun's father said proudly, "My son has won the favor of Comrade Haoran. After the Spring Festival, he will go to Beijing to work with Comrade Haoran."

"So, Bojun probably won't go to school in the second half of the semester."

The principal smiled and said, "That's no problem. Bojun should study hard with Comrade Haoran, and he will definitely have a great future!"

……

After Wang Haoran returned to Beijing from Wuxi, he was thinking about meeting Wu Xiaojun from Beijing Chemical Plant No. 3 again.

Beijing Chemical Plant No. 3 is considered a large factory, and Wu Xiaojun has been working here for more than ten years.

He started working at the age of 16, so he is only about or years old now.

The department he works in is the Finance Department.

However, he is a man who likes to think and is always not doing his job properly.

On this day, Wu Xiaojun was sitting in the office reading a newspaper.

The newspaper reported that Wang Haoran was going to develop a domestic computer production line.

Wu Xiaojun watched the entire news with a little envy and then he sighed.

He thought Wang Haoran was amazing, as he had achieved so many great scientific research results at such a young age.

He longed to do something spectacular.

But, unfortunately, he is still just a mediocre person.

After reading Wang Haoran's report, he developed a strong interest in computers.

However, Wu Xiaojun also knew that in his position, he needed to have contact with computers?
That's simply impossible!
Oh! It would be great if the factory could buy a computer one day.

Wu Xiaojun smiled bitterly and shook his head. He thought to himself, this is simply a fantasy!

A computer costs so much money, how can the factory buy one?
"Wu Xiaojun, someone is looking for you outside!" a colleague shouted at the office door.

Wu Xiaojun quickly got up and walked out of the office.

He saw that the person coming was a young man wearing a green military uniform.

However, these days, there aren’t too many people wearing green military uniforms.

"You are Comrade Wu Xiaojun, right?" Feng Aiguo asked Wu Xiaojun with a smile.

Feng Aiguo was sent by Wang Haoran to find Wu Xiaojun.

Feng Aiguo didn't quite understand.

However, since Wang Haoran had assigned him the task, Feng Aiguo must complete it.

Wu Xiaojun nodded and asked, "Which unit are you from?"

Feng Aiguo said, "I'm from Beijing University of Technology, and I want to talk to you about something."

Wu Xiaojun was a little surprised: "Ah?!"

"I don't know. What do you want?"

Feng Aiguo said: "Comrade Wang Haoran wants to meet you. He heard that you are very smart and a capable person in the Beijing Chemical Plant No. 3."

Wu Xiaojun was stunned.

He thought he had heard it wrong.

"Ah?! Wang Haoran, you want to see me?"

"He actually knows me too? This is a bit unbelievable."

Feng Aiguo smiled and said, "Maybe there is something shining about you."

"Comrade Haoran is going to do an important research project and needs some help."

Wu Xiaojun felt excited.

He always believed that he was not an ordinary person and he had to make a splash once.

Unexpectedly, Wang Haoran also recognized him?
Wu Xiaojun said: "Oh, then, I will ask for leave from my boss. I also really want to meet Comrade Wang Haoran."

"He's a famous person. I was just reading a report about him."

Wu Xiaojun asked for leave from his boss.

Then he got into the Lada driven by Feng Aiguo.

Feng Aiguo brought Wu Xiaojun to Beijing Institute of Technology.

Wu Xiaojun didn't say much along the way.

He was fantasizing about what he would do when he met Wang Haoran later.

After arriving at Beijing Institute of Technology, Wu Xiaojun was filled with amazement.

He never went to college, but he had an infinite yearning for it.

“The architecture of Beijing Institute of Technology is really impressive.”

Wu Xiaojun said to Feng Aiguo.

Feng Aiguo said with a smile: "Comrade Xiaojun, you can also continue to take the college entrance examination!"

Wu Xiaojun said: "I have thought about this question, but I am quite old and my job is relatively stable. I feel it is a bit troublesome to take the college entrance examination again."

As they were talking, the two got out of the car, and Feng Aiguo brought Wu Xiaojun to Wang Haoran's office.

Wang Haoran has already come out to greet him.

This was the first time Wu Xiaojun met Wang Haoran, and he was very excited.

"Hello, Comrade Haoran! Nice to meet you!" Wu Xiaojun greeted from a distance.

Wang Haoran also responded with a smile, shook hands with Wu Xiaojun, and invited Wu Xiaojun to sit down in the office.

Wu Xiaojun didn't know what Wang Haoran wanted to say to him. He was a good speaker, but when he sat in front of Wang Haoran, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wang Haoran poured a glass of water for Wu Xiaojun and placed it in front of him. Then he smiled and said, "I invited Comrade Xiaojun here this time because I found that you are good at math."

"You won second prize in the city-level math competition, right?"

Wu Xiaojun was surprised: "Oh! That was a year ago."

"There are quite a lot of second prize winners, more than ten of them. I didn't expect you to know me."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Haha! This is because most of the people who participate in the math competition are teachers and students from colleges and universities. It's already very good that you can get the second prize."

“I’m looking for talent in computer programming!”

"I just want to see if you have talent in this area."

Wu Xiaojun's eyes lit up. Wang Haoran actually came to him to test his talent in computers?
