Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Minister Kang pointed at Gao Hongda and explained: "It is both accidental and inevitable for us to meet. When I chatted privately with Lao He a few days ago, he repeatedly told me that he was very impressed by a young man in the industry, even You can be described in a different light, and you are also known as a child prodigy. Lao He is such a proud person. Not many people can make him give such a high evaluation. I am curious about what kind of young man you are. Today, your Director Zhao is looking for you. I helped. As soon as I heard your name, my curiosity was aroused again, so I had to come and see it in person. No, we have just met, right? In the words of you young people, this is fate ah!"

Gao Hongda only knew hehehe, but he was nervous and didn't know what to say.

Director Zhao said jokingly: "My Minister Kang, tell me quickly, can you get some scientific research subsidies for this young man?"

"Look, you're so anxious! We have to understand the value of the project." Minister Kang said slowly, turning to ask Gao Hongda, "Tell me, where do you plan to start, and what are your long-term plans? "

Gao Hongda took a sip of tea, tried to calm himself down, and took a deep breath. After all, he was speaking in front of a big leader. Nervousness was inevitable. He began to talk: "First, in order to break foreign concerns about our USB memory components. Due to the blockade, we must independently develop and produce. Looking at the entire world, the maximum capacity of memory chips does not exceed 2G. Our first goal is to independently produce storage components of the same level, and then we can surpass them. There is no ultimate goal. There is only greater capacity, not the maximum. On this basis, we must also develop computer hard drives and mobile phone large-capacity memories. The second is the LCD project we are going to do today. The first step is to produce two types of LCDs that are common to mobile phones on the market. Cun Lan Ping, the second step is to develop a color LCD screen, and the third step is to develop a high-precision touch LCD screen. After the color LCD screen is successfully developed, it will not only be used for mobile phones, but also large-size flat-screen LCD computer monitors and TVs. The machine is waiting.”

What Gao Hongda said is the real development path of future electronic products, and he can easily tell it without using his brain at all.

Minister Kang listened very carefully and was still recording in his notebook. After Gao Hongda finished speaking, he put down his pen and asked extremely seriously: "Is this all your idea? It's incredible. What kind of thing is this touch screen you are talking about?" ?”

Gao Hongda carefully organized the explanation and said: "It is to replace the operation of the mechanical keyboard by touching the screen of the mobile phone. Of course, this also requires the development of a corresponding operating system at the same time."

"Does this thing have any practical value? Isn't a mobile phone just for making calls and sending messages? What's the use of this fancy thing?" This is Director Zhao's question.

Gao Hongda took the trouble to explain: "The functions of mobile phones in the future will be far more than these. It may replace many popular electronic products. For example, it can take pictures, watch movies, replace computers for office work, and there are many functions that we can't think of at the moment. .”

Minister Kang said expressionlessly: "It's like a fantasy!"

"Everything is possible. If you don't even dare to think about it, you will be stuck in your ways. All technologies must first dare to think before they can be put into practice. We humans once regarded God as a fantasy, but now isn't it commonplace? Want to realize it? Hardware is the basis for the intelligence of mobile phones." Gao Hongda was a little anxious. He felt that the thinking of these two leaders was really too backward, and it was really difficult to explain.

Minister Kang no longer dwelled on this issue and instead asked: "In addition to scientific and technological talents, what other support do you need from us?"

Gao Hongda immediately replied: "Resources, raw materials are needed to produce memory, and they must be domestically produced. I think the Ministry of Electronics Industry should have a record of relevant companies."

Minister Kang nodded and said: "That's for sure. We have all registered electronics companies across the country. I don't know what specific raw materials you are talking about?"

This time Gao Hongda was really confused and he hesitated to speak.

Minister Kang said proudly: "You are so unprofessional. You don't even know about silicon wafers. I really don't understand how you do research and development?"

Gao Hongda's face turned red instantly, and he could only explain with caution: "To be honest, I don't understand electronics. I am only responsible for providing creativity and ideas. The specific research and development and production are left to professional technicians. If I am in a certain field If I am an expert, then I will be limited to this field and only know how to work hard in a single field, and I will not have so many advanced ideas. To put it bluntly, I am a technology investor, bringing technology into people's lives. "

Minister Kang and Director Zhao looked at each other, and then clapped softly together. Minister Kang smiled again and said gently: "What you said makes sense. I have another question. Do you think we can develop our own things that are available abroad?" Is it necessary? Why not just introduce it directly?"

Gao Hongda was really annoyed. This old man had so many problems. He replied a little excitedly: "I remember that in the 1980s, our country led the world in the field of computer chips. But one person said that it is better to buy than to build, so he directly disbanded the R&D team, and relied on imported parts to be assembled back home to become a domestic computer. The leader of the industry, as a result, is like practicing the Sunflower Book, directly emasculating its country's chip research and development capabilities, and the entire industry can only rely on imports. This has caused great hidden dangers to the entire country's economic and military security! If you ask me, the guy who did this is a disaster!"

Minister Kang slammed the table and said sternly: "That's enough, stop talking. I'm very familiar with the person you're talking about, and I can say that we have a pretty good relationship with him."

When Gao Hongda heard this, he was so upset that he forgot what he said about Liu. He was a character with great hands and eyes, and he had a good relationship with the deputy minister of the Ministry of Electronics Industry in front of him. Wasn't he stepping on a nail? He was in trouble! But the words have been said. Since he has offended, he will offend to the end, so he said firmly: "Even if you have a good relationship, you cannot say that his actions have contributed to the entire computer industry. On the contrary, they have harmed the entire industry and even betrayed it." National interests!"

Director Zhao also pointed at Gao Hongda and criticized: "You are young and frivolous, but fortunately Minister Kang is not as knowledgeable as a child like you!" It was obviously a criticism, but actually he was protecting Gao Hongda.

Minister Kang suddenly laughed out loud: "Sure enough, you are outspoken and heartfelt. I like it. I have been in the agency for a long time and I haven't heard such sincere words for a long time. You are the first person I have seen who would criticize Mr. Liu. , If you think about it carefully, what you said makes sense. It is indeed impossible not to have something of your own in the high-tech field. History tells us that if we fall behind, we will be beaten. This is why the country should vigorously support high-tech enterprises. Don't be afraid, young man. There’s nothing wrong with telling the truth! I didn’t mean to blame you.”

Gao Hongda let out a sigh of relief. He was so scared that he almost wet his pants just now. The majesty of a big leader cannot be overshadowed.
