In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 200 The acting principal and the acting secretary are both lying down. Is the pressure of school development placed on Xie Wei?
"I am fine."

Xie Wei's voice was hoarse, and he forced a smile to respond to Mo Lingyu.

I didn't sleep a wink last night.

What Li Rui and others said actually conflicted greatly with Xie Wei's own three views: in Xie Wei's view, only by choosing the lesser of two evils can benefits be maximized.

As long as principal Li Rui is still in the position, he will be able to take care of it no matter who takes the blame for him.

There have been no consequences so far, just some violations of regulations.

At most, you can find a job to hide in, and then nothing will happen after a few years.

If Li Rui himself is fired, the people in charge will definitely be affected, and his future will be really over.

"Your state..."

Mo Lingyu looked concerned, "How about we go to the health room?"

"Really. I'm fine. I just didn't sleep a wink last night..."

Xie Wei smiled bitterly and replied, "The project has reached a critical moment now, so you should get back to work."

How could Xie Wei not know what Mo Lingyu felt for him?
Whether in terms of personality or appearance, Mo Lingyu was the type that Xie Wei liked. But Xie Wei had always kept his distance from her.

The excuse Xie Wei gave himself was that he was afraid he would lose control and end up killing someone.

Actually?

Mo Lingyu's father is just the Minister of Armed Forces of a small county!

With his previous entrepreneurial experience, Xie Wei was able to build up such a huge fortune from scratch. If he had been really honest, he would have been swallowed up long ago, let alone succeeded.

This is why Xie Wei has always kept his distance from Mo Lingyu.

Li Rui, Du Guowang and others also felt it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have teased Xie Wei yesterday by saying that Dahua's mother wanted to introduce a "pretty and progressive young woman" to him. It was also a warning to Xie Wei: when you show your excellence, you will attract countless opposite sexes.

Hearing Xie Wei's polite answer, Mo Lingyu felt uncomfortable for no reason.

Turn around and leave.

He took two steps, stopped, turned around and said to Xie Wei:
"By the way, squad leader, Wei Bingkun sent a letter..."

She had no intention of telling Xie Wei about Wei Bingkun's letter, and she didn't even plan to show Wei Bingkun's letter to Xie Wei.

"Ok?"

Xie Wei was stunned for a moment before he remembered who Wei Bingkun was. He couldn't help wondering, "Which country did he go to? Who did he write to?"

"Georgetown University, America."

Mo Lingyu said softly, and then took out a letter in a very beautiful envelope from his military coat pocket.

Georgetown University, a private university in Washington, the capital of the United States, was not very impressive to Xie Wei.

Xie Wei looked at the flamboyant handwriting on the envelope and could tell that the writer was in high spirits.

When he saw the recipient was Mo Lingyu, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Isn't it written for you? What are you showing me?"

Mo Lingyu rolled his eyes at Xie Wei and said, "I wrote this to the class. Originally, you, the class monitor, should be in charge of these matters. You are a very busy person. Wei Bingkun also explained in the letter that it is not good to disturb you, so he wrote it to me."

Xie Wei just smiled at Mo Lingyu's explanation or Wei Bingkun's explanation.

This letter must have been checked by the superiors. It went through several rounds before finally reaching the school. It is especially noteworthy to see that the final signature was July 79, 7.

"Comrade Mo Lingyu:

Hello! I should have written to the class a long time ago to report my recent situation. I have been very busy before, but now I finally have some free time. Please forgive me. "

"...In the United States, there are tall buildings everywhere, and cars are constantly running on the streets... It is much more advanced than in China..."

"...I really hope that you, the class monitor, and your classmates can also study here, learn the most advanced knowledge together, and return to serve the country after graduation, and contribute your own strength to the country's four modernizations...With your and the class monitor's academic performance, it will be easy to get a place to study abroad."

"I'll be waiting for you in Washington!"

On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with the content.

Based on Xie Wei's understanding of Wei Bingkun, his words revealed his admiration for the American empire. It should be that Wei Bingkun knew that the letter he sent back would be subject to strict inspection, so he was very tactful.

This letter, on the surface, was written to the class, but in fact, it was written to Mo Lingyu.

"What do you think?"

After reading the letter, Xie Wei saw that Mo Lingyu had not left, so he sighed silently and asked her.

"How can I see it? I read it word for word! How can I see it?"

Mo Lingyu was very dissatisfied with Xie Wei's attitude. "Squad leader, do you think Wei Bingkun will come back? Between the lines, there is all kinds of worship for America! A humane dog does not mind a poor family. People like him are typical of worshipping foreigners and fawning on foreigners. If it were during the war, he would definitely be one of the first to become a traitor! He doesn't even use the term "motherland" but "country" instead!"

Xie Wei was stunned.

I really didn't notice this problem.

"That's the truth. The United States is more advanced than us. Everyone knows that."

"So what if we are advanced? Our country has been strong for thousands of years, but it just took a nap. Look, except for the Republic of China, every dynasty was not very good at the beginning, but became powerful after decades of development!"

Mo Lingyu looked determined.

"Don't you want to go abroad?"

"I don't want to. I haven't even learned enough knowledge in China. Even if we really go abroad, the Americans will definitely not let us get in touch with truly advanced knowledge! Only if we study and research hard on our own, we can master it! Isn't it the same for CNC systems, programmable switches, chips, etc.? If we don't have it, they won't sell us more advanced ones, and they even blackmail us..."

Having said that, Mo Lingyu paused.

After observing Xie Wei's reaction, he continued, "Squad Leader, you don't know. The technology the Soviets gave us before was all at a huge cost! After we didn't meet their requirements, they withdrew directly, all the experts withdrew, and all the technical data was burned... Everything is thanks to our ancestors' self-reliance to get to where we are today."

Countless ancestors were self-reliant!

Mo Lingyu looked serious, and his words shocked Xie Wei:

Although I know that this will be the case, I always feel like I am just a bystander and forget that I am already involved.

At this moment, he finally understood why Li Rui did this.

The old guy is really using his political future to teach himself a lesson!

Use his own actions to tell Xie Wei how to be a good leader.

Seeing that Xie Wei was lost in thought, although Mo Lingyu didn't understand why Xie Wei was acting abnormally today, he no longer looked as decadent as he had when he first saw him. He didn't disturb him and turned to leave Xie Wei's office.

She did not take the letter.

When Wei Bingkun was still in the class, he was out of tune with the entire experimental class.

No matter how advanced and powerful the America was as described in his letter, Mo Lingyu was not envious at all.

At noon, Wang Zheng brought food to Xie Wei, and Xie Wei's thoughts were interrupted.

In fact, it didn’t take long.

"Old man Li is gone?"

Xie Wei, who had just finished feeding his meal, looked at him in surprise and told him that Li Rui had left the school in the morning, "Vice Principal Zhang Mingqiu is acting as the principal? Vice Principal Liu Debao is acting as the secretary?"

Isn't there no result?
Not only has he left, but they have also arranged for an acting principal and an acting secretary?

"The higher-ups' handling of the matter has not yet come out. Principal Li will not be coming back after he leaves this time. This is the school's work arrangement. As for the specific personnel arrangements, we are not clear."

Wang Zheng said.

He didn't feel much about this. Being the director of the school-enterprise office was just a forced move for him. Xie Wei was the person in charge of the school-enterprise office, so he just had to follow Xie Wei's instructions.

The matter of dead brain cells should be left to Xie Wei and other smart people in Wang Zheng's eyes.

"Oh."

After Xie Wei figured it out, this result was not surprising.

Li Rui said last night that he would go to his superiors to plead for mercy, but the old man didn't tell him. Xie Wei also understood the reason: it was not because he was angry because Xie Wei suggested that someone else take the blame last night, but in order not to put pressure on Xie Wei.

"Since you want me to show off my abilities, let's give it a try!"

Xie Wei muttered to himself, and then asked Wang Zheng: "Have you heard about the progress of the negotiations between the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and Fujitsu and other companies on switches?"

"After the Japanese dropped their price to $1200 per line, they were unwilling to lower it further. They also demanded that the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications be prohibited from purchasing program-controlled switches from other companies."

During this period, Wang Zheng's main focus was on finding out the specific details of the negotiations between the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and Fujitsu.

His main source of information is Luo Cheng.

"The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications will not accept such harsh conditions. They want to introduce technology."

"The Japanese are not willing to give in at all, but are willing to provide the technology of vertical and horizontal switchboards to China..."

When Wang Zheng said this, his expression turned ugly.

Xie Wei understood.

If I don't have it, I'm definitely being blackmailed.

International capital giants are all ruthless and ruthless.

"So the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications hopes that we can speed up the research and development in this area. Although it is only a 256-port programmable switch, as long as the research and development is successful, we will have the initiative. The Japanese will definitely not wait for us to develop a large-capacity switch before they will give in."

Wang Zheng said this with a worried look on his face, "Xie Wei, if we can get it done, if the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications reaches an agreement with Fujitsu, then our products won't be able to compete with the Japanese."

The capacity of international switches is many times larger than that of the ones being developed by Harbin Institute of Technology.

The price is an advantage, but the technology...

"Brother Wang, how much foreign exchange do you think is needed to import all the goods from China, a market as big as this?"

Xie Wei didn't care about Wang Zheng's worries at all.

The scale of the national communications market should be beyond Wang Zheng's imagination.

"But the capacity of a 256-port programmable switch is too small!"

"What about the county town?"

Xie Wei's words immediately stunned Wang Zheng.

He only focused on the city-level cities with large market sizes and never thought about the county-level cities.

"If big cities don't have good communication networks, what's the point of those small counties building good communication networks?"

Wang Zheng asked.

"If we only replace the telephone exchange center of a city with this, and the county town below remains the same, what do you think the result will be? Brother Wang, we have to be down-to-earth and avoid areas where our opponents are strong..."

Since there is no reliable person under my command, I still have to train Wang Zheng.

Luo Cheng?

The function of this thing is just to run business and other aspects.

Wang Zheng still didn't quite understand.

"It's no use saying more now. Did Luo Cheng go to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to run the market?"

"Ah."

Wang Zheng did not dwell on this matter. From the moment he first entered the school-enterprise office, he strictly followed the requirements of Du Guowang and Liang Hongling: whatever Xie Wei said, he would do.

As for whether it is right or not, is there any problem?
Wang Zheng doesn't need to consider it at all.

"Okay, go do your work first. I have to go to the workshop to check the progress and debug it as soon as possible."

Xie Wei said.

Wang Zheng did not stay any longer and went straight to do his own thing.

Xie Wei had just come out of the civil engineering building and was about to go to the radio training room to check the progress of the sample assembly when he met Zhang Mingqiu who was coming this way. After greeting him, Xie Wei was about to leave, but the latter told him that he had come specially to see him.

"Principal Zhang, please take a seat."

Back in the office, Xie Wei personally made tea for Zhang Mingqiu.

Xie Wei did not have much contact with Vice President Zhang Mingqiu.

In fact, it’s not his fault. Under the rule of Principal Li, who holds on to power, the school’s vice-principal has a very low presence.

"Xie Wei, no need to make tea, I'll just say a few words and leave. I mainly want to understand the progress of your project."

Zhang Mingqiu waved his hand hurriedly, indicating that Xie Wei didn't need to make tea.

Project progress?

Although Xie Wei was confused, he did not stop making tea for Zhang Mingqiu. He picked up the thermos and put the tea in front of him, then introduced the progress of the project to him.

“Are there any difficulties with the project?”

Zhang Mingqiu's question made Xie Wei even more confused.

How could the school leaders not know what difficulties there are?

Isn’t it just a lack of people and money?

"Not yet."

"If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Before Principal Li left this morning, he talked to me specifically and asked the school to give priority to the development of your school-enterprise office, and to give it more policy and funding..."

Until Zhang Mingqiu left, Xie Wei's head was buzzing.

Zhang Mingqiu came to me on his own initiative just to tell me this?
Old man Li left a mess behind and handed it to Zhang Mingqiu. Instead of thinking about how to clean up the mess, Acting Principal Zhang came to me first and told me that during his tenure as acting principal, the development of the school-enterprise office should be given priority?
What a fuss!

But from the time Li Rui left until after the Spring Festival, to Xie Wei, it seemed as if nothing had changed in the school.

The only change is that originally, people from the school-enterprise office were required to go to the school to help the project people with their meals. After Zhang Mingqiu took over as acting principal, the school cafeteria specially arranged staff to prepare meals in insulated foam boxes and deliver them to the door of the training room every day.

Zhang Mingqiu would ask Xie Wei from time to time whether his project lacked funds, and what new projects he was planning to undertake after the successful testing of the programmable switching system, so that he could help prepare in advance.

"What is going on, Principal Zhang?"

Zhang Mingqiu's behavior really made Xie Wei confused.

I asked Du Guowang, Yu Guofeng and others indirectly, and they didn't have any other feelings. Principal Zhang just asked them to complete the projects at hand first and not rush into other projects. They didn't say or do anything else.

Nothing in the school has changed.

"Don't worry about what he's doing, just do your own thing. The negotiations between the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and Fujitsu have reached a deadlock. Now the Minnan Posts and Telecommunications Administration, which has submitted the pilot programmable switch, is negotiating with various international communications giants..."

Du Guowang reminded Xie Wei not to care about what Acting Principal Zhang was thinking.

"The test is almost done. Now we just have to wait for Luo Cheng's news..."

After all, Luo Cheng is a bit unreliable when it comes to doing things.

He returned to the capital before the Spring Festival, and there has been no news for such a long time. Even when asked about Wang Zheng, who kept in touch with him via telegram every week, Wang Zheng said that every time he sent a telegram, the guy just said "I'm fine, don't worry!"

It saves a lot of money for school-enterprise cooperation.
