In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 140: Lack of people? Lack of technology? High-quality talents are worth spending money on.

"You can find relevant units to second personnel!"

Xie Wei said this without any pressure at all.

Secondment is the best way.

"Forget it, our school's reputation has started to tarnish because of this..."

"..."

Xie Wei was stunned.

It seems that the school has not seconded personnel to many units.

"After you brought it up, the school's faculty and staff increased by about 300 people. Where do you think these people came from?"

"..."

Xie Wei was so shocked that his eyes widened.

Li Rui did it!

Without having to think about it, I felt that it was the old principal's doing.

I kicked open a window for the old man, and he entered a whole new world directly.

There was no college entrance examination for ten years, and enrollment had not been resumed for many years. The basic level of the workers, peasants and soldiers who followed was poor, the enrollment scale was not large, and every unit in the country was short of people.

It can be said that each unit is facing a talent shortage.

Originally, secondment meant that when the superior unit was short of manpower to tackle some key projects, it would directly ask the subordinate unit for secondment.

Although people basically won't be returned after being seconded, after all, it's all the same system.

But the idea that Xie Wei provided to Principal Li directly avoided all of this.

In order to restore the school's aerospace department, Xie Wei proposed to borrow personnel from 611, 612 and other units to jointly develop several projects...

Nowadays, any unit that has more outstanding talents can develop faster.

Talent is the guarantee of scientific research.

Once you have achieved results, you can ask your superiors for more projects and more funding.

A virtuous circle.

"No wonder the old man keeps complaining about being short of money!"

How to borrow people if you don’t have a project?

"It's enough for you to know. Anyway, now...ah~"

Having said that, Yu Guofeng sighed and did not continue.

Xie Wei didn't ask any more questions.

He was afraid that the old man would throw him out and attract fire.

After just one winter, the cold temperatures in Harbin still made our skin not thick enough.

"Let's do the LCD screen first?"

In the evening, Xie Wei arrived at Du Guowang's house.

Wang Zheng still cooks at Du Guowang's house, but there is only a little meat.

Xie Wei discovered that after Xie Rou left, the food at the Old Du family had dropped several levels.

However, compared to the school cafeteria where one has to pay for meal tickets, here one can eat as much as one wants, so he naturally won't complain about the lower quality of the food.

I told Du Guowang that he should focus on the calculator project first.

"That's right. PLC and CNC actually need LCD displays. I originally thought that Factory 770 and Factory 774 had them, but they can't meet our needs at all..."

"Oh?"

Du Guowang's words surprised Xie Wei.

Didn’t Yu Guofeng say that 770 and 774 didn’t reply to the message and he was still planning to let him go?

I was planning to let Wu Tao or Wang Zheng go.

"They have the technology, but they produce under laboratory conditions, so the quality is unstable and the technology is poor. If we need something customized, we have to pay for the R&D costs first. The progress cannot be guaranteed..."

"..."

No wonder Yu Guofeng, Kang Yi and others are willing to do their own research.

"Don't even think about taking any of the factories over to the school-enterprise office like they did with Factory 14. Both factories are large, with more than 5000 employees..."

Xie Wei couldn't help but be shocked.

For such a large factory, its scientific research capabilities should be quite good.

"The strength of technical research and development is not bad. Previously, research and production were carried out according to the superior's plan... It has not been long since domestic electronic products have transformed from electron tubes to transistors."

Du Guowang said.

Thinking of the radios developed by the wireless project, Xie Wei had an idea, "Is it possible to find these two factories to produce them?"

The larger the scale, the lower the production cost.

If these two factories are willing to do OEM for the school-enterprise, they can bring the radios to the market as soon as possible and quickly occupy the market with low prices.

"It is possible. It depends on how their leaders think about it."

Du Guowang didn't say anything final.

Xie Wei actually knew that in this era, both the cadres and employees in large state-owned factories were proud.

Most of them are not willing to become OEM factories.

Otherwise, so many factories would not have closed down since the 1980s.

"We'll talk about this later."

Xie Wei understood Du Guowang's subtext. He also knew that it would be difficult for people to accept asking large state-owned factories to manufacture products for unknown small companies.

"By the way, Director Yu and his team are planning to set up a computer institute. I suggest that the institute also needs to recruit some mathematical talents..."

"Are you planning to use Liang Hongling to attack the mathematics teacher training class?"

A sneer appeared on Du Guowang's lips.

uh~
Xie Wei was speechless.

Is it that obvious?
Why is it that just by mentioning it, everyone knows that I am planning to set up a mathematics teacher training class?

"The math teacher training class has been assigned since entering the school. If we force them to stay, there will be many problems... However, this year's freshmen..."

Du Guowang didn't explain much.

The meaning of his words was obvious: it would be impossible for the two classes of mathematics students after the resumption of the college entrance examination to stay in school.

"That's impossible. The school doesn't plan to keep a few of them?"

"Those who can stay are either in your experimental class or in the project. If you stay, the department will remove all the people in your experimental class."

"..."

The various situations that Du Guowang mentioned were all things that Xie Wei had never paid attention to before.

At present, there is no shortage of funds for all the school’s projects.

At least there is no shortage of it at this stage.

But even though Harbin Institute of Technology has a large number of faculty, staff and students, it is still short of people.

The units that train talents are short of people, so you can imagine the situation in other units.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to solve the personnel gap, especially the high-end research talents.

As the principal, Li Rui, like other school administrators, hopes that the school can return to its peak and become the top military engineering school in the country. Naturally, he cannot just stand by and watch the school lack staff and do nothing.

Du Guowang and others saw it all. They were also the ones who benefited. At least their manpower was not as tight as before, so they would definitely not tell anyone.

Xie Wei is now planning to retain all the talents trained by the school for other units. What will happen then?

"Xie Wei, you have to consider that we are a school. If we only recruit students but not train them out, the school will lose its original purpose. Even if we train excellent talents in the future, there won't be many employers who will accept them. How can the school develop?"

Du Guowang's words were like a heavy hammer, and Xie Wei didn't know how to respond.

He came to the school hoping to take advantage of the school's talent training to speed up the development of some projects.

It can be said that from the reform and opening up to the second decade of the 21st century, China has been in a state of shortage of high-end talents.

"Many things can't be rushed. You're still young!"

Seeing Xie Wei's reaction, Du Guowang knew that he had taken his words to heart, so he stopped talking. "During this period of time, it would be a good thing for you to develop the LCD screen first. The development of the school-enterprise office requires some high-tech products with great market potential. After all, daily chemicals and daily necessities are not as valuable as high-tech products."

Xie Wei just smiled bitterly.

High technology is valuable.

But even if many things are developed, can they be brought to the market?
Apart from other things, the HZ80 chip has been developed. Apart from a batch of orders from the Air Force, there have been no other orders so far. Products such as calculators are also being produced to create market demand for this chip, thereby promoting further development.

Liang Hongling did not come back in the evening.

Xie Wei didn't know whether she was busy with her own mathematical research or in a meeting with Yu Guofeng and others.

The next day, I still followed the original school schedule, running in the morning and then going to class.

After the first class, Xie Wei found Chen Haowen, who had already counted the wishes of the 13 new students in the class.

There are 13 people, and there are 13 different areas of interest!
"There aren't that many programs in school that are suitable for students of our level to participate in."

After reading it, Xie Wei walked directly to the podium and said, "Except for computer software development and microcircuit, other students need to be patient for now. Currently, the demand for personnel in the chemistry laboratory is relatively large. I suggest that students who are interested enter the chemistry laboratory first..."

"..."

Many students in the class looked at each other.

Whether it is level 78 or level 77.

All students from Class 78 participated in the project. No one had a choice at the beginning, but they adjusted during the project because they really lost interest and could not keep up with the progress.

Although the students of Class 77 attended school for half a year longer than those of Class 78, due to the different course arrangements and the fact that they had to make up a lot of basic high school knowledge at the beginning, their professional and technical knowledge was not as solid as that of the students in the experimental class.

"Chemistry and physics are both basic subjects in our class. No matter what major you choose in the future, you need to take these basic subjects. In the process of scientific research, you will find that the relationship between various majors is actually very precise... The school trains engineers, and our experimental class trains academic leaders, that is, engineers among engineers..."

The training objectives of the experimental class are very clear.

Not only is the admission mechanism strict, but the graduation process is equally strict.

"Including the students currently in the computer project group, they will also need to enter the chemistry laboratory in the future..."

Looking at everyone's expressions and reactions, Xie Wei had an idea.

It doesn't matter what courses are placed in the class.

Anyway, students will be placed wherever there is a shortage of people.

Unless someone shows not only talent but also passion like Tang Long, then he or she can be considered to have truly determined the research direction. "Everyone can discuss it. If you don't want to participate in the project, the class will not force you."

After Xie Wei finished speaking, he returned to his seat.

The students in the class had already adapted to Xie Wei's style and were aware of the authority of his words. Even if there had been no such policy before, the class teacher Luo Yang would definitely recommend that the school adopt it.

No one said anything.

The newcomers didn’t understand the situation, so many of them gathered together and talked in low voices.

Xie Wei did not interfere either.

Chen Haowen, on the other hand, approached Xie Wei before class and asked quietly, "Class monitor, do you have to participate?"

"The professional basic courses we take will all have practical training points."

Xie Wei pinched randomly.

It didn’t exist before, but it will exist in the future.

There is no and there is.

Chen Haowen naturally didn't know the influence of Xie Wei's words on the class teacher Luo Yang, and he didn't know that the entire experimental class was born because of Xie Wei's existence.

They don't know the inside story.

"The class teacher didn't introduce it before."

Chen Haowen looked puzzled. The conversation between Xie Wei and him before made him feel that Xie Wei was relatively easy to approach.

But I always feel that Xie Wei's words are not very reliable.

"The class teacher didn't introduce it because we are an experimental class. Many systems are still under exploration and may change at any time. Apart from other things, have you seen a curriculum design like ours in other professional classes that teaches all the basics but has no professional direction?"

"..."

Chen Haowen was stunned.

That seems to be the case.

"Let's not talk about anything else. Look at mathematics. Even for mathematics majors, the first year is just calculus. And we have only studied calculus for one semester, and now we are already group theory..."

The second class was Liang Hongling's advanced mathematics. Xie Wei knew very well that Liang Hongling didn't care whether the students in the experimental class passed or not. She just wanted to select those who could study mathematics from the experimental class.

"I see. No wonder..."

Chen Haowen took a deep breath. No wonder, only he knew.

At this moment, Liang Hongling had already entered the classroom with the lesson plan, and all the students went straight into the class.

Chen Haowen and his classmates had not even finished learning calculus, and they went straight to learning group theory. In addition, they did not receive the efficient learning method from Xie Wei like the students in the experimental class from the very beginning. Liang Hongling spoke very fast in class, which caused them to be distracted at all in math class.

"You didn't pass on the learning method that everyone had finished to other students?"

During the class, Xie Wei observed the status of the students who had just entered the experimental class. There were 13 best students among them, and more than 9 of them became confused in less than half an hour of class.

The one who persisted the longest, Chen Haowen, who was originally the best student in the mathematics teacher training class, only persisted for 50 minutes.

The new semester has been open for more than two months. Even if Liang Hongling speaks very fast, it should take her two months to get used to it.

"They didn't ask."

Mo Lingyu didn't dare to look at Xie Wei's eyes.

Xie Wei sighed silently, "We are all classmates, and we will be together for a few more years in the future!"

Before, Mo Lingyu found Xie Wei during his morning run and told him that there was a serious conflict in the class. Mo Lingyu, as the deputy monitor, had no way to resolve the conflict between the two sides.

At least she couldn't crush everyone like Xie Wei did.

In a conflicting situation, Mo Lingyu would definitely side with his former classmates.

"I've been prepared. I mentioned it once before, but they ignored me... If there are girls, it's okay to communicate privately..."

Only then did Xie Wei realize that among the 13 new people, there was not a single girl.

There are 40 people in the class, and there are still 4 girls.

All of a sudden, the male-female ratio in the class changed from 1:6 to 1:9...

Science and engineering major!

"Okay, listen to the class carefully. I'll look for Chen Haowen after class. Time will take care of the rest. Our class can't organize various activities to bring everyone closer together like other professional classes."

Xie Wei didn't say much.

After class, he invited Chen Haowen to go out for a walk.

"Monitor, you're not going to ask me to take you to the headquarters building again, are you?"

"..."

Chen Haowen's warning words made Xie Wei slightly absent-minded, and then he shook his head, "I won't go to the school building. Haven't you noticed that the learning status of the students who came in this semester is very different from that of the previous students?"

Hearing this, Chen Haowen immediately lowered his head and sighed.

After a few classes this semester, they became aware of the gap between the two sides.

Although all the teachers did not comment on this, the conflict between the two sides was mostly among the students of Class 77.

"They have a special learning method. During the last semester, everyone worked together to develop an efficient learning method that has become second nature to them..."

Xie Wei explained.

"what?"

Chen Haowen exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

Immediately, the look on his face turned bitter.

"We are all classmates. Even if we don't study the same major in the future, we may need to cooperate with each other during the research process."

Xie Wei did not say much about this, "I hope the previous confrontation will not happen again in the future."

Chen Haowen stared at Xie Wei in a daze.

Xie Wei simply handed him the notebook where Mo Lingyu recorded efficient study methods, "After you copy it, return it to the deputy monitor. This is hers. I am too lazy to tell you, and this contains not only what I talked about at the beginning, but also what the whole class has summarized and revised during the practice process. It should be very useful."

Mo Lingyu almost always carries a notebook with him. Whenever a classmate brings up a point or he has an idea, he will write it down and then discuss it with his classmates.

The learning method currently used by students in the class is very different from the one first proposed by Xie Wei.

It integrates almost the core contents of all the efficient learning methods proposed by Xie Wei, and is based on the learning methods improved by everyone in the practice process. It is far more suitable for everyone than when Xie Wei first proposed it.

"Thank you, squad leader!"

When he came to his senses and saw that Xie Wei had already walked away, Chen Haowen bowed deeply to Xie Wei's thin back.

It was not until this moment that he truly understood why Xie Wei usually never showed up in class. None of the geniuses in the entire experimental class would disobey Xie Wei as the class monitor.

He even couldn't bear to hear others say bad things about Xie Wei.

What convinced everyone about Xie Wei was not that his knowledge level far exceeded that of his classmates, but that he always considered his classmates.

Chen Haowen waited until the end of the first class in the afternoon and the students who were going to the project left before walking to the podium and looking at the remaining 12 students in the class with a serious face.

"Classmates, it has been two months since we entered the experimental class. We all know the gap between us and them... The class monitor took the initiative to provide us with this study method... just because we are in the same class..."

When everyone learned about the learning method, they realized why there was such a big gap between the two sides.

They are all gifted children who were able to be admitted to university in the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Even if the questions were simple, they had to have high scores to be admitted to key universities like Harbin Institute of Technology.

They suddenly realized how wrong it was to be in opposition from the very beginning.

If Xie Wei hadn't taken the initiative, they didn't know when they would have known that their classmates were using methods they didn't know about.

As a result, the original conflict in the class quickly disappeared.

In less than three days, except for a few people who were determined to go to the computer project, the rest all went to the chemistry laboratory to participate in the experiment of liquid crystal molecular formula.

During this process, Kang Yi arranged for teachers from the Department of Chemistry to provide basic training to the new students.

Once the chemistry lab was fully staffed, progress was much faster.

In just over two months, we found a basic formula that basically met the needs from countless recipe proportions.

Although this was partly due to Xie Wei's cheating, it was more because there were enough people and funds to conduct large-scale experiments on various formulas.

If other scientific research institutions did the same thing, the leaders would have scolded the person in charge as a prodigal son long ago.

Although Principal Li has many shortcomings, after allocating funds to various projects, he never interferes with how the project team spends the money.

"You're a good kid!"

With the basic formula, the problem of whether or not there is one has been solved.

At the beginning, the resolution may not be very high, and there may even be quality problems, but as long as the formula is continuously researched and improved, LCD displays with better performance can be obtained.

“This is thanks to the support of the school, the hard work of everyone, and the help of you and many chemistry teachers!”

Xie Wei grinned.

At the same time, there was a question in my mind. Although the basic formula for LCD screens cost millions of dollars, and more than 60 people in the entire laboratory tested it day and night, why did those units with a foundation in this area...

"I'm not talking about the results. Your solution to the shortage of people in the lab... Although the students at the beginning had a poor foundation and were slow..."

Kang Yi glared at Xie Wei.

This guy is flattering himself, how can I ask him to keep more people in the chemistry lab?
The learning ability of the students in the experimental class is truly amazing.

"I heard that you provided them with a very effective learning method?"

Kang Yi asked Xie Wei.

"It was not provided by me. It was summarized and compiled by my classmates."

"No need to be modest. A school leader has already proposed to make this learning method public to the whole school. The principal said that he needs your consent... If you are willing to make it public, why don't you provide me with a copy first?"

Kang Yi looked at Xie Wei eagerly.

"Open it up! This is the best way to solve the current shortage of manpower. If there is a shortage of manpower, then we can only let the people who join the project team have a more solid basic knowledge. Our solution to the liquid crystal molecule is the best proof of this."

Xie Wei took it without any hesitation.

When there is a shortage of staff, the best solution is to improve the level of existing staff.

In fact, after he communicated with Mo Lingyu, Zhang Jingyan and others, they had already privately taught the improved learning methods of the entire experimental class in the school.

"Your awareness is beyond words!"

Kang Yi gave a thumbs up and said, "Now the liquid crystal molecules have been solved. In the physics laboratory..."

"The basic preparations have already been made. After some more testing, we will make it usable. The calculator only needs to display numbers clearly..."

Once the chemical composition is solved, the physical aspect is not a problem.

Of course, the resolution of the LCD screens currently developed is actually very low and they are simply unable to display complex images.

But for Xie Wei, being able to clearly display numbers and show the calculation results inside the calculator is enough to bring it to market.
