The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 147: Six major advisory titles
After Wang Shoujue heard this, he looked a little hesitant and said:
"Handheld game console? Isn't this too advanced?"

"Especially its attributes. You said it's entertainment? If it's not a necessity, it might not sell well!"

"Plus, there are no similar products abroad to refer to, so we can't be sure whether it has a market."

He didn't want to attack Li Mu, but he had to be cautious when it came to semiconductor applications.

It is not surprising that the programmable digital switches and tape recorders, one involving the development of basic communications and the other with reference to foreign market data, are selling well.

But handheld game consoles are the first of their kind in the world, so it’s hard to say whether they can be sold.

"Director Wang, you are right." Li Mu pondered for a moment. He had indeed somewhat overlooked this issue.

The origins of handheld game consoles were 15 years later, so it’s hard to say how the market is now.

But I'm a little reluctant to give up just like that, as handheld game consoles will be a very lucrative industry in the future.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Then why don't we invest the main force of the institute? We can first find some graduate students, or even college students, and let them form a small team to conduct research."

"In that case, there is no problem." Wang Shoujue said.

What he was afraid of was that after Li Mu proposed the idea of ​​a handheld game console, most of the institute's research efforts would be transferred to this project.

With Li Mu's current influence in the institute, most people will definitely take the initiative to pay attention and participate.

……

Leave from the Semiconductor Research Institute.

Li Mu returned home, sat in front of the window, and began to reflect on his mistakes.

When it comes to handheld game consoles, he undoubtedly made the mistake of empiricism.

This experience comes from later generations.

The success of products such as air fryers and mountain bikes made him a little arrogant, thinking that as long as a product sold well in the future, it would definitely sell well in this era.

But in fact, no matter how good a product is, it must adapt to the market, otherwise it will have no room for survival.

"The market determines production, not production that determines the market!" Li Mu sighed slightly in his heart.

The handheld game console market is unclear. As the next money-making project, research is fine, and a batch of products can be produced to test the waters, but Li Mu cannot bet on whether it will sell well.

Although the loss might not be that much, his superiors would not care about his misjudgment.

But his purpose is to make money, not to lose money!

Li Mu thought secretly: "How about making a color LCD TV first?"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

After getting up and washing up, Li Mu followed the usual practice of practicing boxing to exercise his body. His vigorous energy amazed the neighbors passing by.

Even Li Jun was secretly shocked when he saw his posture, and couldn't help but say: "Xiao Mu, your punch is pretty good!"

He had occasionally seen Li Mu practicing boxing before, but his skills were mediocre. He didn't expect that he would become so powerful in the blink of an eye.

"Uncle, I'm just a decoration, used for exercise." Li Mu said with a smile while wiping the sweat from his face.

Although sometimes when he was practicing, he would suddenly feel that he had the strength to kill a cow with one punch.

But Li Mu knew very well that this was an illusion.

Not to mention being awesome, he might even have a hard time fighting.

I have never had any experience in fighting since I was a child. If I encounter enemy spies, I am afraid I will have no choice but to run away.

Afterwards, after chatting with Li Jun for a while, Li Mu quickly left home and went to school.

……

The summer vacation is about to end and there are more and more people in school.

The freshmen who reported early, carrying bags of varying sizes, entered the campus of Beijing Institute of Technology with full of longing and hope.

"That's great!" Looking at the youthful aura emanating from these school girls, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Looking back to those days, he was very busy helping his schoolmate with directions, carrying luggage and providing V services.

After sighing for a moment, Li Mu prepared to go to the library to study. The past was only worth reminiscing about, and he preferred his present life.

——Continuously striving for the prosperity of the country makes people feel that every day is fulfilling and meaningful.

Right now, he has to develop distributed projection lithography machines, and he also needs to research televisions, as well as handheld game consoles. Although he feels that it is no longer feasible, Li Mu still wants to give it a try.

At worst, we can use the subsidy given by the Foreign Trade Commission to buy a batch and sell them. The Beijing Institute of Technology already has a teaching building and a library, so it seems that there is no need for money for the time being.

As he was thinking, Li Mu suddenly heard someone calling him from behind: "Li Mu, come and give me a hand."

Turning around, I saw Zhang Kai and Li Jian, who were enthusiastically helping the younger students who came to report with large and small bags.

If it were in the future, he would definitely suspect that these two people were up to no good, but now... He glanced around and saw that there were quite a few male and female classmates helping their younger classmates move things.

"Coming." Li Mu responded and ran forward to help move things.

In this era, college students are extremely rare, and the government will take care of many things for those who pass the exam.

Therefore, the luggage of these new students was not very heavy, and Li Mu could carry several of them in one hand.

After moving to the new place, I received a lot of thanks from my younger classmates.

I took a quick look at the door of the girls' dormitory and saw quite a few pretty schoolmates, but none of them were as pretty as Wang Ya, so I decided not to look at them.

"Let's go to the library." Li Mu waved to Zhang Kai and Li Jian, and went to the library to study.

……

As soon as he arrived at the library entrance, he saw Qian Shuyan, He Baiyi, Guo Mo and Leader Qiu.

After seeing him, the four of them waved happily.

"Why are there so many people here?" Li Mu was a little confused. "Is it about rewards again? That doesn't make sense. Didn't Qian Shuyan always give out rewards before?"

It is a bit outrageous that the leaders of three departments have to attend in person to give out a reward!

With doubt, he walked forward.

He Baiyi was the first to speak with a smile: "Come on, let's talk over here."

As he spoke, he led the way to the pavilion near Li Mu Library.

……

After the students were no longer visible, He Baiyi continued with a smile, "Li Mu, how are your life, study and research going recently? Can you manage your time?"

This question made Li Mu stunned.

Could it be that he was discovered skipping class?
No, no one can see the chat page. When asked questions, he stands up and answers fluently.

Besides, if he wanted to discover it, he would have discovered it long ago. There is no reason for it to take so long to come to me.

"School is about to start and time is quite tight, but please rest assured, Leader He, I will definitely be able to balance my time." Li Mu told the truth.

He is now working on both semiconductors and chemical industry and metallurgy.

After the summer harvest a few days ago, the Agricultural Research Institute invited me to participate in follow-up research on pesticides.

Each and every one of them takes up a lot of time, and coupled with the classes, it is indeed quite busy.

Hearing this, He Baiyi smiled slightly and said, "Have you ever thought about graduating early?" "Graduate early? That's not possible. I haven't even finished my junior year!" Li Mu said in surprise.

Nowadays, there is no such thing as early graduation for college students, and they have to complete the required credits, otherwise they cannot graduate.

He Baiyi smiled and said:
"There are exceptions to everything. University education is to cultivate talents needed by the country in advance."

"But your level has far surpassed this stage, and there is little point in continuing to spend time on it."

"You have a lot of responsibilities right now. If you can graduate early, won't you have more time to do research?"

"And your health is also a problem. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle going to school and doing research at the same time."

His words were recognized by the nods of approval from the others.

"But if we treat them specially like this, I'm afraid other students will have objections, right?" Li Mu frowned slightly.

Graduating early and being the only one there really attracted too much attention.

Not only will it easily arouse jealousy, but you might also be targeted by the transport captain.

Hearing this, He Baiyi paused, then pointed upwards and said:
“This is what the leader meant.”

"And don't worry, early graduation is not just for you, but for all students in Kyoto."

"National construction requires a large number of talents. If someone can complete the exam in advance, it proves that his or her knowledge level has reached the requirement."

"Then we will also approve his early graduation."

Since they decided to let Li Mu graduate early, they must of course fully consider the safety issues.

"What does the superior leader mean?" Li Mu was slightly shocked after hearing this.

I didn’t expect that his early graduation would even alarm his superiors!

"Old He, you only talked about early graduation, but didn't mention the rewards!" Just when Li Mu was silent, Guo Mo on the side suddenly spoke with a smile.

He Baiyi laughed and said, "Look at my memory. I actually forgot the most important thing."

He said seriously:

"Li Mu, this has been decided after discussions among our Ministry of Culture and Education, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the First Ministry of Machine Building, and other units, and after the approval of our superiors."

"After you graduate, you can choose to work in any of the following: the Semiconductor Research Institute, the Computing Technology Research Institute, the Chemical Metallurgy Research Institute, the Agricultural Research Institute, the Foreign Trade Commission, or the First Ministry of Machine Building."

"The level will be lower at the beginning, but the salary will not be low. The fifth level technical post will receive 5 yuan per month, and the 178th level administrative post will receive 12 yuan per month."

Having said that, He Baiyi looked at Li Mu's expression and found that he had no reaction, so he continued:
"Of course, if you want to continue your studies, you can serve as a consultant in these six institutions. The salary is based on the standard for assistant researchers, which is 6 yuan per month."

After he finished speaking, Leader Qiu and Guo Mo both looked at Li Mu expectantly, looking forward to his choice.

"The salary level is directly based on the standard for college students to become regular employees, which is 55 yuan per month. The consultant position for 6 units is 330 yuan, which is more than the salary of some academic committee members." Li Mu said in his heart.

The academician of this era was equivalent to the academician of later generations and enjoyed the first-level salary standard of 1 yuan, and he got 322 yuan more.

Graduating early is imperative.

He is getting busier and busier now. If he spends his time on classes, not only will he learn limited knowledge, but he will also waste a lot of research time.

But whether or not to continue further studies is indeed worth considering.

It’s not because I have 6 salaries, but I graduated early in order to have more time for research. If I continue studying, there will not be much difference between me and not graduating.

Thinking of this, under the expectant gazes of everyone, Li Mu finally said, "I have no objection to graduating early, but whether or not to continue further studies, I want to think about it carefully."

"Of course, I can be a consultant regardless of whether I continue my studies or not."

"It's okay, it's okay. This issue does need to be considered. After all, with your level, there is not much point in studying for a master's degree." He Baiyi said.

Although the country's graduate students have a high level of knowledge, there is really not a single one like Li Mu who can continuously produce major inventions.

Instead of letting such talents study, it is better to let them concentrate on research.

"You need to think it over carefully. It's okay. The door of the First Ministry of Machine Building is always open to you." Leader Qiu said with a smile.

Although it is not unique to his family, he is at least working in the Ministry of First Machine Building.

After looking forward to it for a long time, Li Mu finally arrived.

Qian Shuyan did not persuade him much, but just said: "Think slowly, don't rush for the answer. No matter what direction you want to study, the school will contact the best teaching resources for you."

"Thank you, Dean." Li Mu said with emotion.

He Baiyi on the side continued:
"There are still two days before school starts, and the Ministry of Education will soon issue a 'Trial Policy for Early Graduation Examinations for Kyoto Area College Students' to each university."

"If it goes smoothly, college students who meet the requirements may be able to take early graduation exams according to this document."

"This is a groundbreaking policy! It's enough to prove your leaders' expectations of you. Work hard!"

At the end, He Baiyi walked up and gently patted Li Mu on the shoulder to show encouragement.

Afterwards, Guo Mo and Leader Qiu also encouraged him for a while before leaving one after another.

……

When most of the people had left, Li Mu looked into the distance, feeling lost: "I'm about to graduate!"

Without the protection of his student identity, it was inevitable that he felt a little uncomfortable.

Perhaps further study is a good choice. Not only can I stay in school, but I also don’t have to worry about other problems.

If he wants to study for a master's degree, Professor Huang is the best choice.

We are old acquaintances and there is no need for us to get used to each other. Things are pretty much the same as they are now, with no changes.

"But more research..." Li Mu sighed deeply. If he wanted to get results, he had to spend time doing it.

He used to think that he could breathe a sigh of relief if he could develop an integrated circuit computer. However, the further he went, the more he realized that it was not easy.

As the de facto "leader" of the semiconductor industry, he has greater responsibilities to shoulder and more important missions to undertake.

This will take much more time!
……

Just when Li Mu was hesitating, a voice sounded behind him: "Why, you don't want to graduate and want to study for another two years?"

Qian Shuyan returned, looked at him with a smile, and said jokingly, "That's not right. I heard from your teacher that you were always distracted and thinking about problems during class last year."

Li Mu was embarrassed and stammered, "How did you know?"

"Haha, you just sit there blankly, who can't see it?" Qian Shuyan laughed.

The school treats Li Mu as a treasure and pays special attention to him, so they naturally pay special attention to his every move.

"I'm sorry to have wasted your time." Li Mu lowered his head in shame.

He thought he was pretending very well, but he didn't expect that he had been discovered long ago.

There were no mobile phones here, so he really didn't know what it looked like when he was looking at the chat page.

Qian Shuyan laughed and said:

"These are all small things, and they will pass when they are over."

"But there is one thing I really want to talk to you about."

"You're almost 23, haven't you ever thought about your personal problems?"
