Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"whats the matter?"

Professor Yuan asked curiously.

"funds."

Lin Kaifeng said loudly: "From this moment on, the funding issue has nothing to do with you anymore."

"You just need to put your energy into the research. I will help you with the research equipment and materials you need."

"As for R&D funding, the company will give as much as everyone wants."

Lin Kaifeng's support for semiconductor research and the generous conditions he provided to everyone deeply touched the vast majority of scientific researchers present.

A large number of experts, led by Professor Yuan, had tears in their eyes.

Some experts were so emotional that they even shed tears on the spot.

Funding has always been the biggest problem plaguing scientific research departments.

According to Lin Kaifeng, no one has to worry about lack of funds anymore.

"Professor Yuan, I have an idea to establish a scientific and technological research institute based on our Northern Machinery Company."

"I would like to invite you to serve as the dean of the institute. What do you think?"

"You will be responsible for all personnel transfers at the institute, and I will be responsible for the funding."

Everyone was overwhelmed by the good news one after another.

Professor Yuan couldn't help but ask, "You mean I can select any researchers I think are suitable to join the institute?"

"Yes."

Lin Kaifeng said without hesitation: "Any scientific researcher you approve of will be welcomed by Northern Machinery Company."

"In terms of salary, bonuses, and welfare benefits, everyone is absolutely satisfied."

"No matter how much you were paid for your previous job, when you come to us, everyone gets a basic monthly salary of 500 yuan."

"All food, clothing, housing and transportation are borne by the company!"

Wu Ankang was dumbfounded and said, "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, are you really going to give everyone a salary of 500 yuan per month?"

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. If he says 500 yuan, it means 500 yuan, and this is just the salary."

"The bonuses and other benefits will definitely satisfy everyone. But..."

Having said this, Lin Kaifeng suddenly paused.

In an instant, countless eyes turned to Lin Kaifeng.

"Dear experts, whether or not you want to work at Northern Machinery Company, I hope you can go back and ask your family first."

"Northern Machinery Company has long since left the ranks of state-owned enterprises and has become a joint-stock collective enterprise. In other words, when you come to Northern Machinery Company, you will lose your cadre positions."

To be honest, Lin Kaifeng hopes that all capable scientists will join Northern Machinery Company.

But then again, not everyone has the courage to throw the iron rice bowl in their hands to the ground and smash it to pieces.

Even if all semiconductor projects are cancelled, it will not affect our cadre establishment and administrative levels.

From the day Northern Machinery Company completed its restructuring, the higher-ups formulated a clear personnel policy for Lin Kaifeng.

Collective enterprises are responsible for their own profits and losses, and there is no staffing arrangement from the general manager to the ordinary employees.

I will soon have 200 million yuan in funds and can do whatever I want.

Not to mention offering everyone a monthly salary of 500 yuan, even if it's 5,000 yuan or 50,000 yuan, Chen Haifeng won't blink an eye.

The reason why I didn't mention this gear is mainly because I'm worried about being bullied or said weird things about.

What is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth. This is not just an old saying, but also the fuse of all problems.

Why do others only get a few dozen or a hundred yuan as salary?

These people can only get a salary of a few thousand yuan?

Take things slow and I'll start by giving everyone a salary of 500 yuan.

Once everyone's work has achieved results and turned into economic benefits, our wages will be further increased.

At that time, no one will say strange things or sing a different tune.

"Comrades, leaders, experts, this is a matter that concerns you and your family. I don't want you to agree hastily in an excited state. It's best to go home and discuss it with your wives and children."

Lin Kaifeng reminded again: "Why don't you give up the cadre system and join our Northern Machinery Company?"

"There's nothing to hesitate about. I'll go."

Professor Yuan raised his hand and said, "I have been engaged in semiconductor research for half my life. If all the projects are cancelled, even if I stay in the job, I will just be eating."

"Instead of that, I'd rather go to the Northern Machinery Company and do something exciting. As long as the funds are in place, even if they don't pay me and let my sons support me, I will join the semiconductor research project of the machinery company."

"As for me, there's no need to discuss it. I'm the only one in our family, and I can make the decision for myself."

Led by Professor Yuan, more and more people raised their hands.

If I stay in my original unit, I can only get 80 to 100 yuan a month.

Went to Northern Machinery Company.

Apart from anything else, wages alone have increased fivefold.

What if there is no cadre establishment?

With a sufficient salary to support a family and projects that you enjoy working on, what else could you not be satisfied with?

Minister Wu Ankang told everyone personally that Northern Machinery Industry had 200 million Dragon National Currency in its account.

The funds are sufficient to support a large number of semiconductor projects.

Everyone just moved all the projects to Northern Machinery Company, and the funds in Lin Kaifeng's hands would allow the projects to continue.

Not a moment.

More than half of the experts and technical backbones at the scene agreed on the spot to give up their iron rice bowls and go to work for Northern Machinery Company.

Another group of experts need to go back and discuss with their families.

Chen Haifeng looked at Wu Ankang and said, "Minister, what do you think?"

“This is a collective decision made by everyone. Even though I am a minister, I must obey public opinion.”

"Since they want to go to your company, Comrade Lin Kaifeng, please take good care of these experts on behalf of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building."

"They are not only heroes on the scientific research front, but also have made great contributions to the country's scientific and technological development."

Wu Ankang patted Lin Kaifeng's shoulder emotionally.

Someone blatantly went to the Ministry of Industry to poach people. No matter which minister was replaced, no one would allow Lin Kaifeng to stay.

If we don't order him to leave on the spot, we will definitely arrange for someone to kick him out.

This is a moment.

Wu Ankang knows better than anyone how difficult the current situation of scientific research funding is.

The department has a long list of new equipment and new technologies that it is planning to purchase.

Coupled with pressure from many aspects, Wu Ankang could no longer bear it.

Even if not now.

A series of semiconductor research projects will also be announced at the end of this year.

For scientific researchers, the most frightening thing is not the lack of clothes to wear, nor the lack of understanding from others, but the lack of projects to work on.

It's like many old comrades who have fought all their lives.

Suddenly let them leave the battlefield and leave the army.

It not only brings mental shock, but also causes physical harm.

Lin Kaifeng is the general manager of Northern Machinery Company, and his words represent the decision of the entire company.
