In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 121: Xie Rou is still playing with ants at this age? Are ants related to artificial intelligence?

"What can I do? Just go find Xie Wei!"

Wang Zheng's face was full of helplessness.

To be honest, at this moment, he was still in a daze, with a blank mind.

Xie Wei proposed to recruit professional managers from the Hong Kong talent market with a monthly salary of tens of thousands.

What is a professional manager?
Wang Zheng didn’t know.

But he knew clearly that his salary was less than 100 yuan a month!

If this is done, it means that the professional managers recruited by Xiangjiang will be responsible for the School-Enterprise Office. How can Wu Tao and himself, two people with low salaries and low levels, manage people who earn thousands or tens of thousands of yuan a month?

Still from Hong Kong.

Wang Zheng's head started buzzing when he thought of this situation.

Don't know how to deal with it at all.

"But……"

Wu Tao's concerns are similar to Wang Zheng's.

I have lived for decades and never thought that such a problem would arise one day.

"What's the problem? I don't know. I have never thought about it in this regard before."

Wang Zheng said unhappily, "I don't know what's wrong with Xie Wei's brain. He can come up with such a thing! He doesn't care whether we can really control him..."

After all, Wang Zheng had no confidence at all.

Hearing Wang Zheng say this, Wu Tao's heart settled down: he was not the only one who had this thought, Wang Zheng felt the same way.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

"Is the principal going to the ministry to discuss this matter?"

Xie Wei was not surprised that the two men came to see him after they had just gone to see the principal.

Whether it is starting a company in Hong Kong or managing professional managers in a school-enterprise office, there is no experience and no reference.

Both Wang Zheng and Wu Tao found it difficult to accept psychologically.

If Xie Wei had not been through this before, he would not have known how to deal with such a situation.

He proposed to pay a professional manager with a monthly salary of tens of thousands to manage the Hong Kong company, also to allow the two to consider in advance how to deal with the future.

If the school-enterprise partnership wants to truly develop, it must enter the international market.

In Xie Wei's opinion, Wu Tao is not suitable.

Wang Zheng is able to change his ideas and concepts, and his future development is promising.

Even if you don't work in a school-enterprise office, you can go out and become a professional manager. With work experience in a school-enterprise office, you can become one of the earliest professional managers in the country.

The prospects are promising.

"..."

The two didn't know what Xie Wei was thinking. They didn't expect that Xie Wei's focus was on the principal going to the department to discuss the matter.

"Xie Wei, the principal went to the department to find the leaders, but they may not support it. Apart from anything else, there is no profit at present. If we open a branch in Hong Kong, we can't use RMB to pay the salaries of the cadres and employees of the Hong Kong company!"

Wang Zheng and Xie Wei are more familiar with each other after all.

Wu Tao didn't want to mention it, but he had no scruples.

"We definitely can't pay them in RMB. In Hong Kong, they don't recognize RMB!"

Xie Wei said as if it was a matter of course, "Salary is an operating cost, so the Hong Kong company must bear the cost. Otherwise, why would we set up a company?"

"Isn't it to facilitate the export of products of the school-enterprise organization and to purchase various equipment and instruments needed for the school's scientific research from Hong Kong?"

Wu Tao looked surprised.

He did not think that he did not understand Xie Wei's purpose of setting up a branch in Hong Kong.

"The purpose of opening a company is to facilitate exports and purchase equipment and instruments. Since we are opening a company, don't we need to consider the cost issue? If we can't make a profit, we might as well just send someone to Hong Kong to be responsible for purchasing. Why bother setting up a company?"

Xie Wei patiently explained to the two of them.

"Xie Wei, do you have time tonight? How about this, Wang Zheng and I go buy some food, and then we go to Professor Du's house and have a drink and chat?"

Seeing that the doubts in his heart could not be clarified with just a few words, Wu Tao suggested that he and Wang Zheng go buy some groceries and chat while drinking.

"Yes, this thing can't be explained in just a few words. Please tell us more to avoid any problems later."

Wang Zheng quickly agreed.

Xie Wei's words only made him more confused.

It is better to find an opportunity to let Xie Wei give a detailed introduction. If he really can't do it, replace him as soon as possible to avoid consequences that he cannot bear in the end.

"Row."

Xie Wei did not refuse.

Know the relationship between Wang Zheng and Du Guowang and his wife.

Now Xie Rou lives in Du Guowang's house. Whenever Wang Zheng has nothing to do, he will go to Du Guowang's house to cook. Xie Wei cannot refuse this kindness.

After Xie Rou came, Du Guowang's kitchen was used more often than after the couple returned to work.

It's just right, I can tell them more about how to develop international markets and manage overseas branches.

Many of the school’s scientific research equipment and instruments need to be purchased from the international market.

Ordinary precision instruments will not be embargoed by the Batumi, but their prices are extremely high, and it is unrealistic to expect superiors to help with procurement.

Otherwise, Li Rui would not have no objection at all. After knowing Xie Wei's proposal, he would have gone to the department again to ask for support.

If the branch is not familiar with the operation and follows the domestic management model, the result can be imagined.

During this period, because the army asked the school to improve its drones and personnel deployment had not yet been in place, Xie Wei ran around to check on several projects every day, and there was basically not much that required his participation.

Even the radios used by Mo Lingyu and others were almost finished, so Xie Wei wouldn't be able to help much even if he went there.

Mo Lingyu's participation in the design, improvement and production of sanitary napkins did not affect the progress of the radio project.

Xie Wei provided a complete sanitary napkin design plan, and even clearly specified how to choose the materials for each layer.

All the pattern design team needs to do is to produce it.

"It's a waste of time to do it yourself! Mo Lingyu, why don't you talk to Xie Wei? There's a matchbox factory next to the school. It's full of female workers. Can you ask the factory to help with the production?"

Sister Wei looked tired.

Currently, there are only a few hundred female faculty members and students in the school, and producing two to three thousand packs per month is enough.

But even with just a few of them making the products manually, it would take too much time to produce these two or three thousand bags.

"I'll ask him then."

Mo Lingyu thought about what Xie Wei said when he went to see him before. He said that he wanted the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering to design the machine production, which would be the most appropriate. "Xie Wei meant to ask the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering to design the production line..."

“This is better, it has to be brought to market anyway.”

Yang Yuqiong was immediately overjoyed.

With a production line, they can be freed from manual production and packaging which require little technical skills.

At first she was very interested.

But after becoming a female worker, she became impatient: I am a college student and a government official, doing this kind of unskilled work all day long! What's more, the study tasks in class are heavy, and I have to undertake other research work.

A complete waste of time.

"Hurry up, go now! We don't have enough time, and there's still some time before school starts! We can find girls from other majors to help us then..."

After hearing this, Sister Wei urged Mo Lingyu to go find Xie Wei right away, "And go with him to find Director Du. Xie Wei has a good relationship with Director Du."

Mo Lingyu went around the school and couldn't find Xie Wei. He asked Yao Xinwei to check the dormitory, but there was no sign of Xie Wei either.

Thinking that Xie Wei would go to Du Guowang's house when he was free, he simply went to Du Guowang's house.

Xie Rou's menstrual period this month was over, and she had no excuse to go find Xie Rou again.

From Xie Rou, I can learn more about Xie Wei that I cannot usually learn.

"Sister Mo, you're here?"

As soon as Mo Lingyu arrived at the door, he was seen wrapped in a military coat, squatting in the corner like a bloated little bear, staring at Xie Rou lying on the ground.

After quietly walking over and seeing clearly what Xie Rou was doing, Mo Lingyu's eyes suddenly widened.

Xie Rou was actually looking at ants!

Still very absorbed.

For a moment, Mo Lingyu's brain crashed.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Rou discovered her and said in surprise, "Sister Mo, come and see, these ants are really interesting."

"Why is it so interesting?"

Mo Lingyu has not yet recovered from the shock Xie Rou brought to him.

I am even more curious that there are still ants active in Harbin in such a cold winter.

Xie Rou, who showed a terrifying talent in learning all kinds of difficult knowledge, was actually interested in ants!

Many children stop playing with ants when they reach kindergarten!

Xie Rou has entered her menstrual period.

"Put the food around. At first, the ants will crawl around randomly, but soon they will only take the shortest route. No matter how you move the food, they can always find the shortest route back to the nest... My brother said that if we can thoroughly study how ant colonies unify their routes, it will be of great help to the learning of automatic control in the future..."

Xie Rou didn't notice Mo Lingyu's surprise.

Pointing to the densely packed ants on the ground, he told Mo Lingyu excitedly.

"..."

Mo Lingyu didn't know how to answer.

However, Xie Rou, who had a strong desire to share, didn't notice her confusion at all.

"My brother said that when ants are looking for food, they release a pheromone that they can smell, but I can't smell it anyway... This pheromone will disappear over time, and the strength and concentration of the pheromone will become stronger as more ants pass by, so that all ants will be on this shortest route... This involves the optimization theory in the field of mathematics..."

"..."

Mo Lingyu was dumbfounded.

Just observing ants for a while involves mathematical optimization?
Is the world of geniuses really so different from that of ordinary people?

How are ants related to optimization?
"Xiao Mo is here?"

Just when Mo Lingyu didn't know how to answer, Wang Zheng came out of the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up and saw her, "Are you here to look for Xie Wei? He's helping out in the kitchen."

Without waiting for Mo Lingyu's response, Wang Zheng turned around and shouted towards the kitchen: "Xie Wei! Xie Wei! Mo Lingyu is here to see you..."

"..."

Hearing the excitement in Wang Zheng's voice, Xie Wei was stunned.

There is something wrong with Comrade Wang Zheng!
Mo Lingyu came to see me again, I’m afraid it’s related to the sanitary napkin issue.

Running to Du Guowang's house must be very urgent.

But why is Wang Zheng so excited?
Sticking his head out of the kitchen, Xie Wei found Mo Lingyu next to Xie Rou, obviously attracted by Xie Rou playing with ants.

"Brother Wu, I'm going to go out for a while."

After greeting Wu Tao who was processing roe deer meat, Xie Wei wiped the oil stains on his hands with a rag and walked outside.

In order to get Xie Wei to explain in detail the precautions and management methods for opening a branch in Hong Kong, Wu Tao and Wang Zheng spent a lot of money: they didn't know through whom they got half of the roe deer meat.

In a few years, this thing will be eaten into a protected species and will not be eaten.

Now that the law does not prohibit it, Xie Wei will naturally not go to the Virgin Mary.

Decades later, there were rumors online that Northeastern cuisine did not become the ninth cuisine because the menu was full of protected animals and the ingredients were simply impossible to find.

Xie Wei deeply agreed with this.

Most of the Northeastern cuisine is based on wild animals.

"Sister Wei and the others have any opinions?"

Xie Wei asked Mo Lingyu.

"No, didn't the principal say to give the school's female faculty and students a trial first? You mentioned factory production before. Currently, we produce by hand. Even if we use all our time, we can only produce more than 300 bags a day... I told Sister Wei and the others what you meant. They hope to find the electromechanical department to design mechanized production equipment..."

Mo Lingyu didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

“Designing a production line?”

Xie Wei looked at Mo Lingyu in surprise.

The latter nodded firmly.

"That's easy. The sanitary napkin production process is not complicated. It mainly depends on the supply of raw materials... However, even if it is designed, the school has no place to set up these production lines."

Xie Wei was a little overwhelmed.

The production line needs to be located in a workshop.

The school currently does not even have enough classrooms and dormitories for students. Support personnel from units such as 601 and 611 are currently living in the basement.

"Didn't you say that the school-enterprise office is responsible for the transformation? Sister Wei's suggestion is to find a matchbox factory run by a street office next to the school. The female workers there work long hours a day and don't earn much money every month..."

The matchbox factory on the street next to the school?

For a moment, Xie Wei was stunned.

Before he came into this world, his mother, who had nothing to do every day, also made matchboxes for as little as a few cents.

I work so hard but only earn a few cents a day.

It was only after Xie Wei became a technician and her salary income increased significantly that Liu Mei stopped going to the street office to get various materials to make matchboxes.

"It just so happens that Director Wu and Wang Zheng from the School Enterprise Office are both here. You can talk to them."

Xie Wei felt that it would be more appropriate for Mo Lingyu to discuss this matter with the people in the school-enterprise office, instead of asking him to handle everything.

"Just tell them!"

Mo Lingyu looked embarrassed.

I have discussed this matter with Xie Wei more than once or twice, but I still feel reluctant.

Mo Lingyu found it hard to accept letting her talk to several other men.

"What's the big deal? We are just talking about production! We can design the production line based on the process flow and not consider automation in the early stages..."

Xie Wei looked at Mo Lingyu speechlessly, "You understand the production process better, and only by communicating with the designers can you better solve the problems of production equipment. Any mechanized production is to improve the production level!"

Looking at Xie Wei's serious expression, Mo Lingyu felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"How about we also participate in the design? Can the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering find a few girls to be in charge of the design?"

Mo Lingyu's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and he didn't even dare to look at Xie Wei's expression when he spoke.

She thinks it would be best to hire a female designer so that it would be easier to communicate.

"..."

Xie Wei was stunned.

I never expected that Mo Lingyu would make such a request!
