Chapter 1167 Fresh Blood

"You mean to let Wu Gang lead the team this time to study chip technology in Japan." Cheng Qingyan was a little puzzled after hearing the news, and asked Duan Yun: "Wu Gang has only been in our company for more than a year. He has Is this ability to lead the team? Why not let Zhao Xuewu and the others go to Japan to study?"

For a long time, the product technology research and development center of Tianyin Electronics Factory has been led by five retired professors including Zhao Xuewu, and from the initial development of colorful tape recorders to the current Walkman, these five retired professors have performed very well. Although he is very old, his drive is not inferior to that of young people, and he can always complete tasks on time or even ahead of schedule, which has won the trust of Duan Yun and Cheng Qingyan.

Moreover, in terms of academic level and research and practical ability, these five retired professors are much better than those young college students. They basically have the ability to stand alone and accept new things and technologies very quickly, so no matter where On the one hand, Cheng Qingyan felt that these retired professors should lead a team to Japan to learn chip technology.

As for this Wu Gang, Cheng Qingyan also knows this young man. He can be said to be the best among the younger generation of technicians in the entire product technology research and development center. He has a solid technical foundation and a quick mind. He is indeed a good talent. In terms of research and research ability, there is still a certain gap between him and these five retired professors who have participated in the research of national military projects.

"Zhao Xuewu's work ability is indeed excellent, but they are still too old. Chip research and development is a project that requires very high mental and physical strength, and the research cycle is very long. It takes one to two years or even several years to produce a result. Such a long development cycle is really not something experienced people can bear.” Duan Yun shook his head, and continued: “Besides, it is a very long-term process to cultivate a chip R&D team, and it will take several years or even ten years for the entire team to mature. Do you think Zhao Xuewu and the others can work for such a long time?"

"But……"

"Now our product technology research and development center only has dozens of people. They can only be generals among the dwarfs. In fact, even if you look at the country, there are not many people engaged in chip research, and these talents are mainly concentrated in the military and aerospace departments, and the national government. Several state-owned chip companies invested heavily by the Ministry of Electronics Industry, if you dare to poach people from them, someone will definitely take care of you..." Duan Yun's face flashed a look of helplessness, and then said: "So the chip research and development team must be composed of We train ourselves, and we must ensure young professionalism. College students like Wu Gang have just left campus for a short time, and their learning ability is still very strong. More importantly, they are young enough, with strong physical strength and energy. It's also very important."

Duan Yun made it very clear that it takes a long time to cultivate a chip R&D team, so it is necessary to keep the chip R&D team young.

In fact, the same is true of many domestic high-tech companies in later generations. All programmers and technicians live a 996 life with enviable high salaries. Once they are 35 years old and have not become executives or managers, they will be ruthlessly eliminated by the company. , and at the age of 40, even with outstanding qualifications and rich experience, it is very difficult to find a suitable job.

The particularity and periodicity of the chip industry place high demands on the energy and physical strength of R&D personnel, and the cycle of talent training will be very long. After a few years of training for people in their 60s like Zhao Xuewu, when they can contribute to the company When providing benefits, they are already old and frail. This is actually a serious waste of company resources, so this time Duan Yun promoted young people like Wu Gang to lead a team to Japan to learn chip technology. consider.

"But I always feel that Professor Zhao's energy is still good..."

"I believe you won't say that in a few years." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and continued: "Professor Zhao and the others have indeed made a lot of contributions to our company, and I will continue to let them serve as the product research and development center in the future." However, they are now mainly responsible for the improvement and upgrading of the production process and technology of tape recorders and walkmans. In addition, if new home appliances are developed in the future, they will still be responsible for the research and development, but for the chip factory, young people must be responsible .”

"Okay." Although Cheng Qingyan doubted the abilities of young people like Wu Gang, since her husband said so, she had no choice but to give up.

"We are still short of highly educated professional talents, and there is still a big talent gap..." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "Occasionally, some college graduates come to Shenzhen to apply for jobs, but most of them are recruited by joint ventures. They took it away from Shenzhen Electronics Group, even if my salary is higher than theirs, they are more willing to work in foreign-funded enterprises... So this time I plan to directly establish a cooperative relationship with the university research institute to jointly develop chip products."

"Haven't we already established a cooperative relationship with Taiyuan Institute of Mechanical Engineering? And every year, Taiyuan Institute of Mechanical Engineering sends more than a dozen students to our factory for internships." Cheng Qingyan said.

"This is not enough people. Last time I visited the headquarters of Toshiba Electronics in Japan, they had dozens of people co-developing just one process link of the chip, and all of them were graduates of key Japanese national universities. As far as our products are concerned, There are not as many people in technology research and development as there are in one department, and many of them are students from technical secondary schools and technical schools, so the quality of talents is not enough..."

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to cooperate with our universities in Shenzhen and Guangzhou to set up special scholarships, establish special research institutes in these schools, and jointly develop chip technology." Duan Yun said.

"Is there a university here in Shenzhen?" Cheng Qingyan asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's just not famous." Duan Yun replied.

In fact, Shenzhen had only just begun to establish universities in the 80s.

In 1983, Liang Xiang, the mayor of SZ at the time, made harsh words more than once:

We are determined to borrow money for education.

Sell ​​your pants and build a university!

We take money and allocate land, please give us talents, talents!
At that time, the fiscal revenue of SZ City was more than 1 million yuan per year, but the municipal party committee allocated 5000 million yuan to build Shenzhen University.

In January 1983, the SZ Municipal Party Committee formally applied to Guangdong Province and the State Council for the establishment of Shenzhen University. In May of the same year, the State Council issued the "birth permit" of Shenzhen University.Immediately, the "Three Famous Universities" of Tsinghua University, BJ University and Renmin University of China became the "backstage" of Shenzhen University. The subject of economics, Shenzhen University, was born in the unique heroic spirit of the Special Economic Zone.
