In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 45 You are a freshman, you can't take responsibility, but you can work.

"Yes, Xie Wei, just give the order. Don't worry about the principal being embarrassed, he has registered with the department."

Du Guowang saw that Xie Wei was embarrassed and knew what he was thinking.

Young people always have various concerns.

From Xie Weiti's question, Du Guowang also knew that if the results remained in the school, the brother units that had used them for free would not be able to get them unless they paid. This would make other units dissatisfied, and the principal would have to step in.

"..."

Li Rui looked at Du Guowang speechlessly.

Don't even give yourself any face!

"Principal, then what shall I say?"

Xie Wei looked at Li Rui anxiously.

"Just tell me."

Li Rui answered weakly.

"If you want to keep the results in your hands, you must ask your superiors for policies."

Xie Wei observed the reactions of Li Rui and others and said through gritted teeth.

Even though he has decades of experience and has held a high position, he cannot be bad-tempered when facing people in the system, otherwise even a small team leader can...

What’s more, he is the president of Harbin Institute of Technology?
Before coming to the school, Xie Wei had planned to wait until the CNC system or PLC had achieved results before contacting the school leaders and convincing them to ask the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building for a policy of independent operation.

The Seventh Ministry of Machine Building doesn’t have any money.

If you want policies, there will definitely be no problem.

When the whole country is poor, leaders are easy to talk to except when asking for money.

As the orders from the national plan decreased, the superiors required all units to be self-reliant and not wait or rely on others; in two months, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee would kick off the reform and opening up.

“What policy do you want?”

Li Rui was puzzled.

"Except for the R&D plans issued by the superior departments, the school independently initiates other projects, raises its own R&D funds, operates independently, and is responsible for its own profits and losses. If the superiors disagree, they can share no more than 30% of the net profits..."

Profits must be shared with superiors.

You have to let your superiors take the blame and bear the pressure, and they won’t do without a share of the money.

"Suck~"

Before Xie Wei finished speaking, several key leaders of the school gasped.

So brave!
"Xie Wei, do you know what you are talking about?"

Du Guowang became anxious and kept winking at Xie Wei, hoping that he would stop talking nonsense.

The national economy is like a chessboard and is still within the scope of the planned economy.

"We are a school unit. According to your suggestion, we have to start a business. Schools are places to train talents for the country. When the time comes..."

Kang Yi also became anxious.

Young people are reckless and dare to say anything.

If this gets out, people will accuse you of restoring capitalism and your life will be ruined.

"Xie Wei, let's take a long-term view on this matter."

Liang Hongbin, who had hardly spoken, also spoke.

This kid!
Taking such a big risk to mess around.

Making money is the business of the principal and other leaders.

Wouldn't it be good to just follow your own high-energy physics?
Xie Wei knew what everyone was worried about.

The 18 brave men of Xiaogang Village took the lead in implementing the household contract responsibility system at the end of November, but they secretly signed a life and death agreement and put their bloody fingerprints on it.

"Dear leaders, I understand your concerns!"

Xie Wei stood up, glanced around, and took in the expressions of the bigwigs in the conference room.

After a pause, he continued:
"Universities are the cradles for cultivating talents for the country. At the same time, they also bear the responsibility and mission of scientific research and technological progress. At present, the country is poor, the ministry is poor, and the school is even poorer. As an educational front for cultivating talents for national construction, the school should actively respond to the call of the superiors, not wait or rely on others, be self-reliant, explore a new source of project research and development funds, and use the results in the path of national construction..."

At this point, Xie Wei felt dry in his mouth, so he opened the lid, picked up the white porcelain teacup, and took a sip of the strong tea.

Fragrant!
The tea was brewed by the principal himself.

It smells good.

Xie Wei put down the cup, and Li Rui, who was sitting in the main seat next to him, did not pick up the thermos as before, and quickly filled it with water.

He frowned and looked at Xie Wei, waiting for him to continue.

Xie Wei noticed Li Rui's action and curled his lips secretly: The principal is also a snob.

"Most students cannot participate in the R&D tasks assigned by their superiors; many scientific research projects cannot be carried out without funding. The solution is school-enterprise cooperation..." "In this way, the school will have funding, the enterprise will have technology, and the students will be trained in the process of participating in the project. After graduation, they will not need to start from the basics when they enter the workplace..."

"If we want to establish a school-enterprise partnership, we must set up a special management department for logistics to coordinate scientific research resources and customer needs..."

"Of course, this is just an exploration. If the superiors feel it is inappropriate, they can stop it at any time. If someone accuses me of trying to restore capitalism, as the proposer of the plan, I am willing to bear all the responsibilities!"

Xie Wei spoke with great righteousness.

Take responsibility?

impossible!

There are still two months until the new historical period of reform and opening up begins.

everything!
Taking economic construction as the center.

Without any experience, you have to cross the river by feeling the stones. If you make a mistake, you won't take too much responsibility.

Even in an environment where "the country is still poor and the army needs to wait to update its equipment" and "everything serves economic development", military spending was drastically cut and the army also engaged in industry for a period of time, until it was completely stopped in 1998.

The school started running businesses in the 1980s.

"My get out of class isn't over yet! I want you, a freshman, to take responsibility? With your small body, can you bear it?"

Li Rui glared at Xie Wei.

Immediately, he picked up the thermos, refilled Xie Wei's cup with water, and looked at the others:
"I think Comrade Xie Wei's proposal is feasible. If everyone agrees, it's settled! Kang Yi, starting tomorrow, you will work with Xie Wei to continue improving AES, perfecting the process, and working out other materials that need to be added. Keep it confidential for the time being. I'll go to the ministry to get the policy!"

"what?"

Xie Wei was dumbfounded.

After talking for so long, you still want to do it yourself?

To conduct chemical research and improve chemical research technology, Kang Yi is the most suitable person to be the head of the Chemistry Department.

"Principal, you just said that I'm only a freshman."

Xie Wei reminded Li Rui.

"What responsibilities can a freshman take?" Li Rui smiled. "Before going to school, you were already a technician, earning a salary from the government! You are the monitor of the experimental class, an outstanding student representative of the 78th class, and a party member! As a party member, you must play the role of an outstanding party member!"

"..."

Xie Wei couldn't refute it.

饼！
What a big pie!

The position of class monitor was forced upon me by my teachers and classmates, just like Zhao Kuangyin who wore the yellow robe in the past.

Outstanding student representatives...

Outstanding Party Members...

You can’t miss out on eating the big pancakes.

These days, these are so useful.

Even if Xie Wei goes out to start his own business, it will be of great use.

"Okay, that's it, go back and rest first."

After Li Rui finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to take a step, he thought of something and turned to look at Du Guowang and Liang Hongbin and the others: "During this period of time, don't disturb Xie Wei from doing experiments in the Chemistry Department, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

Got it!
After the principal spoke, Du Guowang could only glare at Kang Yi with gritted teeth and walked away angrily.

He didn't blame Xie Wei at all.

If it weren't for Kang Yi, why would Xie Wei waste time in the Chemistry Department?
Didn’t you see that Xie Wei didn’t want to go?
"Director Kang, please wait a moment."

Xie Wei called Kang Yi.

"It's getting late, Xie Wei, go back and get some rest. If you have anything to say, come to the lab tomorrow."

Kang Yi knew that Xie Wei wanted to quit, so how could he let him do so?
With Xie Wei around, it’s much easier to supervise graduate students.

As for whether it is appropriate to let freshmen supervise graduate students and whether it will cause psychological trauma to the graduate students, that is not within Director Kang's consideration.

"No, I have something to do tomorrow! You just said that if there is work, you guys will do it. If you need resources and money, the principal will go. The principal will go to the department tomorrow. You can't go back on your word, can you?"

Xie Wei looked at Kang Yi unhappily.

He knows the other person's mind too well.

"..."

Is there a freshman who talks to the department head like this?

Not satisfied with having arranged the job for the principal, you actually arrange a job for the department head?

How could Kang Yi know that Xie Wei had grasped the essence of Du Guowang and others' shamelessness in such a short time and put it into practice?
