In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 52 Director Yu bowed his head for funding!

"Director Du, calm down! Calm down!"

Seeing Du Guowang furious, Xie Wei took several steps back, "I did this for the project of the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering!"

"For the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department project? Instead of working on the project, you went to the Computer Science Department to work on the computer project and even wanted to embezzle funds from the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department. Xie Wei, tell me, do I look stupid and easy to fool?"

Du Guowang was really angry at Xie Wei.

The already gloomy face even began to twist.

"Director Du, how dare I lie to you! If you hadn't personally come to Chengdu to pick me up, I might have lost the opportunity to go to college because Xu Zhihui refused to introduce me and transfer my organizational relationship."

Xie Wei reminded Du Guowang that he was the one who brought him to school.

Director Du, I will remember this great favor!
After hearing his words, Du Guowang's excitement calmed down a little.

He was still glaring at Xie Wei, as if he would never let him go unless he told him the truth.

"Whether it's PLC or CNC, they both rely on the support of the Computer Department. The core control system is based on computers, especially the PLC's single-chip microcomputer! I specifically asked Director Yu about the situation. We can't get advanced ones in China. If we want to make them, we can only ask the Computer Department to help us design them..."

Du Guowang was silent.

What Xie Wei said was true.

Due to the blockade, advanced single-chip microcomputers and advanced microprocessors are simply not available in the country.

"Buy it on the black market in Hong Kong? Let's not talk about whether the school has foreign exchange. Even if we do, we don't have any channels to get it directly from outside. There are many units that need this stuff. How long will our school have to wait for it?"

When it comes to this, Xie Wei feels annoyed.

In a few decades, except for the most advanced defense technologies, everything can be bought on the market.

Now, you have to do it yourself.

Not to mention anything else, it is impossible to get even slightly advanced microcontrollers and chips.

"So you're using the funds from the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering to support the Department of Computer Science?"

It was one thing to understand that what Xie Wei said was the truth, but Du Guowang still found it hard to accept it.

20 is a huge amount of money.

Compared with the funds required for the PLC programmable controller and CNC numerical control system projects, the funds are too little.

“It doesn’t count as misappropriation of project funds!”

Xie Wei defended himself with a helpless look on his face, "PLC programmable logic controllers cannot avoid single-chip microcomputers. Director Du, I didn't directly ask the computer department to design and develop single-chip microcomputers, but to make calculators, because the core of calculators is also single-chip microcomputers. If they want to make a counter, they have to make a single-chip microcomputer first, right?"

The anger on Du Guowang's face disappeared instantly.

I even had the urge to give Xie Wei a thumbs up.

He suppressed the urge to give a thumbs-up.

Still angry!
Sure enough, my trip to Chengdu was not in vain, the boy still remembers our friendship.

"Calculators are widely used in the field of scientific research. The Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering invested funds, and the Department of Computer Science has achieved results and made money. So they should also share some of the profits with the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering that provided the funds, right?"

Seeing Du Guowang's anger dissipate, Xie Wei also breathed a sigh of relief.

I’m afraid that Du Guowang will hold on to the funds tightly and won’t let go.

"You kid, you are really...not bad!"

Du Guowang almost directly praised Xie Wei as an old swindler, but thinking of his identity as the head of the department, he forced himself to change his words.

"..."

Got the money.

I passed the test.

Xie Wei wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and grinned: "Under your leadership, I am working hard for the development of the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department!"

Director Du found Xie Wei's words very useful, even though they were so fake.

He is worthy of being the candidate that I value as the successor to the director of the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department.

"Let's go find Yu Guofeng. If we have any results, he won't give us a share of the money."

Yu Guofeng didn't expect Du Guowang to come to him so soon.

At the same time, he also further understood the position of Xie Wei in Du Guowang's mind.

He cast an inquiring look at Xie Wei, but Xie Wei just smiled and said nothing.

"Old Yu, you're using Xie Wei's time to work on a computer project. I won't argue with you today. But you're using Xie Wei's time to work on the department's funding. We have to discuss this!"

Before Guofeng could even open his mouth, Du Guowang started firing with a stern face.

"What do you mean I borrowed Xie Wei to get funding for your Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering? Old Du, we are already in our forties, please stop throwing dirty water at us. I won't take the blame for this!"

Before the change, Yu Guofeng started cursing directly.

Or to be more direct, roll up your sleeves.

Today, for the sake of the 50,000 yuan project funding, Director Yu rarely showed his temper towards Du Guowang. "Xie Wei came to your computer department to make a calculator, and came back to ask me for funding. Why do you want money from my electromechanical department for your computer project?"

"..."

Yu Guofeng stared at Xie Wei in a daze, not knowing how Xie Wei asked for money.

Xie Wei kept giving Yu Guofeng glances, which made Yu Guofeng even more confused.

Yu Guofeng, who was a college classmate of Du Guowang and had been in the bullpen together, knew very well that Du Guowang was counting Pi Xiu. Once the money went into his pocket, it could never come out.

For the sake of 50,000 yuan in funding, what's the harm in bowing to Du Guowang once?
"Well, Lao Du, you can't blame me for fooling Xie Wei. It was Xie Wei who felt that the slide rule issued by the school was not easy to use and was not accurate for calculating logarithms, so he designed a calculator himself."

Yu Guofeng deliberately emphasized that it was Xie Wei who designed it.

Seeing that Du Guowang's face was relieved, he continued, "You also know the situation of the Computer Department. There is no funding at all..."

"Money, I can give it. But how do you calculate the results?"

In the past, Du Guowang didn't care who owned the results.

It is different now.

After the principal obtains the policy, the results will become the source of funds for subsequent research and development.

The Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering requires too much funding.

"The design was proposed by Xie Wei, and the funding was provided by the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Logically, the results should belong to the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering."

Du Guowang benefited greatly from Yu Guofeng's words.

But before Du Guowang's mouth could fully curl up, he showed a difficult expression on his face and changed the subject, "Old Du, Xie Wei's project looks simple, but it is very difficult. Just the design of the integrated circuit requires a lot of manpower and time... Other spare parts cannot be directly provided in China..."

"Come on, stop crying poor."

Yu Guofeng bowed his head, and Director Du naturally didn't care about it. He waved his hand and said generously: "We pay the money, you do the work, and we split the money 50-50. How about that?"

"Our entire department..."

Yu Guofeng was unwilling to do so. As soon as he opened his mouth, Du Guowang's face changed.

Xie Wei on the side also kept winking at him.

I’m afraid that by then all the 5 will be gone.

Helplessly, Yu Guofeng could only smile and said, "Old Du, don't worry, our entire department will go all out to get it done as soon as possible."

"Okay, let's write it down in black and white in front of Xie Wei, so that you won't deny it later."

"..."

Xie Wei looked at the two men speechlessly.

As for that!
They are all from the same school.

To his surprise, Yu Guofeng did not hesitate at all.

He took out a pen and wrote the first "Technical Cooperation and Development Agreement" in the history of Harbin Institute of Technology. With Xie Wei by his side, both parties clarified their respective rights and obligations.

Both parties were very formal: a handwritten contract in triplicate, and both parties not only signed it but also stamped it with the department's official seal.

The witness Xie Wei was also asked to sign and put his fingerprints on the document.

This simple cooperation agreement has also become a model for subsequent cooperation between schools and enterprises.

"That's not right. Why is Yu Guofeng suddenly so easy to talk to today? Is he trying to defraud our Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of our funds?"

On the way back, Du Guowang always felt that Yu Guofeng was abnormal today.

Bowing to yourself easily?

But he read the contract word by word and found nothing wrong with it.

"Xie Wei, could it be that you and Yu Guofeng teamed up to do this for the 5 yuan in funding?"

Just lower your head and you will get a project and supporting funds.

Director Du thinks that anyone who can give the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department millions of dollars in research and development funds will kneel down!
"God knows what I am talking about! Director Du, it was you who proposed the 50-50 split~"

Xie Wei was speechless.

"Forget it. It's rare that Yu Guofeng lowers his head."

Du Guowang couldn't figure it out, and he was too lazy to think about it. He turned his head and said, "It's getting late, and there's no midnight snack at school tonight. Come back home with me."

"what?"

Xie Wei didn't want to go to Du Guowang's house.

Really!

Liang Hongling has become increasingly irritable these days because Xie Wei has not shown up in her classes.

Although they didn't go to the classroom, Yao Xinwei and others reported the situation in the class in detail to the class monitor in the morning.

Go to Du Guowang's house to eat cornmeal porridge, and then be forced by Liang Hongling to do difficult math problems all night?
