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

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the global situation was undergoing dramatic changes.

In the country, various new and old ideas are colliding with unprecedented intensity.

A large number of state-owned enterprises began to reform, implement the principle of self-financing and take the path of market economy development.

The relevant departments have completely stopped allocating funds to various units.

Exporting and earning foreign exchange became the overriding importance during this period.

After decades of eating from the same big pot, they are suddenly being kicked out of their homes and have to find food for themselves. More than half of the state-owned enterprises are finding it difficult to survive.

For Lin Kaifeng, now is the best opportunity for development.

With the "imperial sword" given by the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, Lin Kaifeng recruited a large number of ministerial-level technical experts and scientific researchers in one go.

As for that bastard Xie Wenyuan.

Lin Kaifeng planned to let him have some free time for a few days, and then slowly deal with him after he finished this stage of work.

This person is extremely cunning and completely shameless.

Dealing with him directly would not only cause criticism from a group of experts including Professor Yuan.

It will even damage Lin Kaifeng's personal image.

The next afternoon.

Lin Kaifeng said goodbye to everyone and boarded the train to Shanghai alone.

Compared with the economic metropolises of later generations, Shanghai in the 80s was more like a small county town.

But compared with northern cities, it is modern enough.

The number of cars on the streets far exceeded that of northern cities, and people's clothing began to become diverse and colorful.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, we have been looking forward to your arrival!!!"

Upon arriving at Shencheng Electronics Factory No. 5, Lin Kaifeng was warmly welcomed by the factory leaders.

What happened in the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building has spread widely within the system.

Factory director Li Jinbu and chief engineer Hou Anmin had enthusiastic smiles on their faces.

In their eyes, Lin Kaifeng is not only the head of the collective enterprise, but also the real God of Wealth.

Shanghai Electronics Factory No. 5 and other large state-owned enterprises are facing a series of problems including capital shortage.

In the industry, Electronic Factory No. 5 is definitely the most prominent one.

It is the only comprehensive semiconductor company in China capable of producing all types of chips.

There are more than a dozen related enterprises with a large number of technical personnel providing supporting production materials for the fifth factory.

However, one's own people know their own business.

Although the main factory of Shanghai Electronics Factory No. 5 seems to be doing well, big problems have already arisen internally.

The allocated funds are getting less and less every year, but we still have to undertake a large number of production tasks every year.

All types of semiconductor chips produced should be allocated to various departments in need at a fair price.

Funding issues have become the biggest problem for factory leaders.

Li Jinbu and Hou Anmin are the top leaders of the Fifth Electronics Factory. They know that if things continue like this, the Fifth Electronics Factory will be paralyzed sooner or later.

Judging from the current situation, the state is arranging enterprises to be responsible for their own profits and losses and to restructure their enterprises in batches.

Now it’s the turn of Electronic Factory No. 5. What can they use to compete with foreign chips?

How can we support all the employees in the factory?

Lin Kaifeng said politely: "Director Li, Chief Engineer Hou, you don't have to be so polite."

"I'm here to carry out joint construction with you. There's no need to be so restrained."

"Your company's name is well-known, and it is my honor to cooperate with you."

Everyone carries the fancy sedan, and as long as the other party is polite, Lin Kaifeng will not be arrogant.

In the future, Lin Kaifeng's development plan will require the help of Electronic Factory No. 5.

Say a few nice words for free, hello, I’m fine, everyone is fine.

It can further strengthen the relationship between the two families.

Seeing Lin Kaifeng being so polite, everyone couldn't help but feel more favorable towards him.

After the greetings, Lin Kaifeng took the initiative to say, "Director Li, let's go visit the production workshop first. What do you think?"

"Okay, okay, I'll lead the way for you."

In everyone's eyes, Lin Kaifeng is a genuine God of Wealth.

Whether tens of thousands of employees at the Shencheng Electronics Factory No. 5 will eat bran and water, or have rice, white flour, and greasy pork belly for every meal in the future depends on this cooperation.

Li Jinbu and other factory leaders acted as guides and enthusiastically led Lin Kaifeng to visit various production workshops in the factory.

Electronic Factory No. 5 can not only produce semiconductor chips, but also has a capability that other semiconductor companies do not have.

Production of electron tubes.

Compared with semiconductor chips, electron tubes are the strong point of Shanghai Electronic Factory No. 5.

The Fifth Electronic Factory, founded in the early 50s, was originally created to produce electron tubes.

Whether it is civilian televisions or military radars, the internal electron tubes all come from the Fifth Electronic Factory.

Even the two bombs and one satellite project was participated in by the Fifth Electronic Factory.

Times have changed, and the past glory cannot change the predicament faced by Electronic Factory No. 5.

The country has fully come into contact with the West, and various semiconductor products from the West have flooded into the country.

Once the separation of government and business is implemented, and the company is responsible for its own profits and losses, it will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the Fifth Electronic Factory.

A few hours later, everyone returned to the conference room.

Li Jinbu said in a gentle tone: "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, you can make a list now. Our factory will provide your company with the construction personnel and technicians you need as soon as possible."

"If you have other needs, you can also raise them and we guarantee to meet them."

After these words were spoken, many factory leaders showed sighing expressions.

Before Lin Kaifeng arrived in Shencheng, the group had already held more than a dozen meetings.

Every time it’s about collaboration.

Go all out to achieve this collaboration.

We would rather be condemned and reported by other companies than not to continue our cooperation with Northern Machinery Company.

The production tasks of the Fifth Electronics Factory seem heavy, but they are not profitable.

No matter which company the semiconductor chips are provided to, it is impossible for the factory to obtain sufficient internal funds.

During the planned economy period, state-owned enterprises were not profit-making units and had to complete production tasks assigned by their superiors step by step every year.

The materials department is responsible for allocating means of production, and the processing enterprises then process the materials into production parts and components and hand them over to the higher-level departments for unified distribution.

After the process is completed, not a penny will fall into the hands of the enterprise.

Funds for annual operations, maintenance, personnel expenses, technology research and development, etc. all come from national grants.

Seeing Lin Kaifeng remain silent, Li Jinbu glanced at the chief engineer Hou Anmin next to him.

Hou Anmin stood up and said, "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, the factory director's attitude is the attitude of our Fifth Electronic Factory. Your company will provide you with personnel and materials. As long as it can help our factory gain a firm foothold in the future restructuring, we will give you whatever the Northern Machinery Company wants."

This is exactly what Lin Kaifeng was waiting for.

Lin Kaifeng immediately said, "Chief Engineer Hou, Director Li, you can rest assured that there will be no problem with the cooperation. I didn't reply to you immediately just now because I was talking about another matter."

"Since we are going to cooperate, we might as well do it more thoroughly."

After hearing this, everyone showed a confused expression.
