In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 56 Is USTC good? How does it compare to Harbin Institute of Technology?

When Luo Chengye was trying to persuade Hu Chunlin to let Hongguang Factory transfer its production technology and processes to Hongfeng Factory, a guest came to Wei Guobin's office.

"Hongguang Factory was allocated to the Light Industry Bureau? Director Zheng, this joke is not funny at all."

Wei Guobin looked seriously at Zheng Hui, deputy director of the Light Industry Bureau.

"Deputy Director Wei, according to the division of responsibilities and industries, the Hongguang Factory, which produces daily necessities, should be under the Light Industry Bureau."

Zheng Hui didn't feel embarrassed at all.

The products of Hongguang Factory were very popular and the Light Industry Bureau took a fancy to them.

After being allocated to the Light Industry Bureau, Chengdu and even the entire Bashu light industry system will be able to hold their heads high at the Canton Fair next year: At present, the country's way of obtaining foreign exchange is basically through the export of traditional commodities such as raw materials, handicrafts, and ceramics.

The added value is not as high as that of industrial products.

Even crude oil is included in the export range for the sake of foreign exchange reserves!
There is very little export of industrial products.

They are all exported to poor places in the third world.

For the sake of foreign exchange, the Light Industry Bureau knew that it would be rejected, but still held on to a glimmer of hope. It still arranged for Zheng Hui, who had a good personal relationship with Wei Guoqian, to go and ask for the money.

"Really? The Industrial Bureau has many factories producing daily necessities. How about giving them all to you?"

"..."

Zheng Hui remained silent.

The production of those supporting factories of large factories, such as soy sauce factories, clothing factories, flour mills, etc., has long been stagnant.

"Director Zheng, if Hongguang Factory was not related to the future development of many units under the Industrial Bureau, I personally agree in principle to transfer Hongguang Factory to the Light Industry Bureau. After all, Hongguang Factory's clear positioning is to make tableware and kitchenware."

It’s so heartbreaking!
Zheng Hui cursed in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.

He pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why?"

"Xie Jianguo's son, Xie Wei, is the young technician who turned around Hongguang Factory. Remember?"

Zheng Hui's mouth twitched.

Damn Wei Guohan, he got another blow.

This is what bothers the Light Industry Bureau the most: At the beginning of the year, Xie Wei took the initiative to contact the Light Industry Bureau.

However, no one in the Light Industry Bureau took the young man who came to them on his own initiative and worked for a unit under the Bureau of Industry seriously.

Xie Wei entered the Light Industry Bureau but didn't even get into the leader's office.

Otherwise, how could they have the audacity to come and ask for Hongguang Factory?

One misstep.

"Before, Xie Wei proposed that Harbin Institute of Technology and the Industrial Bureau reach a strategic cooperation. The school is responsible for developing technology and designing products; the subordinate units of the Industrial Bureau produce, and the profits are shared by both parties. Hongguang Factory is a pilot. Otherwise, do you think I would ignore any resistance and gamble my personal future to let Xie Jianguo, a technician who has been retired for five years and has no management experience, be the factory director?"

Wei Guobin and Zheng Hui were old acquaintances, so they did not hide anything and told each other the inside story.

Hongguang Factory is a pilot project for strategic cooperation between Chengdu Industrial Bureau and Harbin Institute of Technology.

"Can Harbin Institute of Technology agree? Xie Wei is just a student!"

Zheng Hui looked at Wei Guohan in disbelief.

As if he didn't know him.

Wei Guobing was so calm and cautious, yet he said such frivolous words.

I can't even lie!
"The head of the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Harbin Institute of Technology, Du Guowang, has given his approval. Du Guowang and I were classmates in college."

Zheng Hui opened his mouth wide and stared at Wei Guobin in a daze.

I originally thought that many units under the Industrial Bureau were eyeing the products of the Hongguang Factory, and that allocating the funds to the Light Industry Bureau would allow the Industrial Bureau to have less worries.

"In fact, we can also cooperate with the Light Industry Bureau. Xie Jianguo is going there these days. In order to let his father become the factory director, Xie Wei promised to produce another product before the end of the year. When the Hongguang Factory achieves results in the Canton Fair next year, the Industry Bureau will sign a strategic cooperation agreement with Harbin Institute of Technology."

Are there any products that can participate in the Canton Fair?
The purpose of participating in the Canton Fair is to earn foreign exchange.

If a product can get foreign trade orders, countless factories will scramble to get it, even if it is at a loss: the country not only has various preferential treatments for export-earning enterprises, but also very generous subsidies.

You can export at a loss and still make money.

The profit is naturally subsidies.

Thinking about the large amount of foreign exchange that he had lost to the Light Industry Bureau, Zheng Hui suddenly felt a pain in his heart!
"Can it be done?"

Zheng Hui asked Wei Guohan with some reluctance.

······
Rongcheng.

East Suburb Middle School.

In Grade 1() class, Mr. Yu, the mathematics teacher, was explaining the induced formulas of trigonometric functions to the students in a low voice.

As he spoke, he looked at Xie Rou, who was sitting in the corner of the last row, sleeping on the desk with her head covered by an open book.

In front of Xie Rou, two boys spoke a little louder and were immediately hit by the chalk tip of Teacher Yu who was lecturing.

"If you don't listen to the class, get out and stand outside!"

Teacher Yu's angry voice was still suppressed.

"Ah? Is get out of class over?"

Xie Rou, who was sleeping soundly on the table, rubbed her eyes drowsily and looked around.

Teacher Yu tried to put on a kind smile and said to Xie Rou gently, "Xie Rou, there are still more than 20 minutes before the get out of class ends. How about you sleep a little longer? I'll keep my voice down when I teach."

Since the beginning of the school year, the students in the class have become numb to Teacher Yu's expression.

no way.

If Xie Rou didn't sleep in class, she would lead the teacher and classmates into trouble, and would always solve problems with Cauchy's inequality, Riemann's equation, Yang Hui's triangle, etc. The boy who was talking in front of Xie Rou turned his head to look at Xie Rou, then looked at the teacher's eyes that wanted to kill them, and walked silently to the classroom door.

"Okay, Mr. Yu, you continue talking, I'll sleep a little longer."

After Xie Rou finished speaking, she lay down on the table and prepared to go back to sleep.

The classes in the first year of high school are so boring.

The high school teacher was afraid that Xie Rou would make her classmates withdrawn, so she didn’t allow her to prepare for the high school exam.

Go home and wait for the college entrance examination?
Liu Mei wants to beat...

Poor Xie Rou, she can only sleep in the first-year high school classroom.

Teacher Yu was just about to continue explaining the induced formulas of trigonometric functions when the classroom door suddenly darkened.

Good guy!
The principal and the dean appeared at the classroom door with smiles on their faces, accompanied by a little white-haired old man.

"Teacher Yu, please ask Xie Rou to come out for a moment."

The principal looked towards Xie Rou's position, and sure enough, the girl was sleeping again.

"Ah? It's finally here!"

When Teacher Yu saw the old man's Zhongshan suit, which had been washed so well that it looked bleached and looked very energetic, like a high-level intellectual, he cheered in his heart: Liberation is coming soon.

Every day, someone from USTC, who was looking forward to recruiting geniuses, would come and take Xie Rou away.

He walked quickly to Xie Rou's seat and woke her up in a tone so gentle that it gave the whole class goose bumps.

"Is get out of class over?"

"No, the principal is looking for you."

Teacher Yu said softly.

"Ah? You want me to go back to junior high school again?"

Xie Rou woke up instantly.

Xie Rou walked out of the classroom nervously.

"Hello, Xie Rou. I'm Hou Guohua, the admissions teacher for the junior class at USTC."

Junior Class of USTC?

The school that started recruiting young geniuses from across the country this year?

When the students heard the name of the school at the classroom door, envy suddenly appeared on their faces, and they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Rou is under too much pressure in the class.

What the teacher says every day is: Look at Xie Rou, she is so much younger than you, but she can see the solution to the problem at a glance. What’s in your heads?

God knows!
This caused all the students to doubt themselves.

In September, Xie Rou skipped a grade and entered the first year of high school. She took the entrance test and scored nearly 60 points higher than the second place, ranking first in the grade. The second place student became so withdrawn that he almost dropped out of school.

Then the teacher sent him to the second year of high school, but he was sent back within a week.

Xie Rou's words in class every day: It's so simple, you can't see it? My brother said that this kind of questions don't require any brainpower; or, when faced with very complex function questions, she said, it's a mental arithmetic question, so obvious...

The students in the second grade of high school are preparing for the college entrance examination next year!

How could Xie Rou attack them every day?
Finally, it’s time to leave!

The classmates were excited and envious.

"USTC?"

Xie Rou looked at Hou Guohua with confusion.

"Yes, it's a university affiliated with the National Academy of Sciences. We are looking for geniuses like you all over the country..."

"I'm not a genius, I just work harder than others!"

Xie Rou explained to Professor Hou Guohua very seriously, "My brother said that a genius is a god (the god of mathematics, Gauss) who can occupy all students' study time for several years with a flash of inspiration..."

"Uh~"

Everyone was stunned.

What kind of brother is this, to undermine a child's confidence like this?

"Xie Rou, how about we go to the principal's office?"

Hou Guohua proposed.

"What are you doing in the principal's office? I'm not awake yet!"

"To enter USTC's junior class, you have to take a test first. It's very easy for you. As long as you work hard and get 90 points on the test, you don't have to study the boring high school basic knowledge with your classmates, and you don't have to take the college entrance examination. You can go directly to university."

Hou Guohua became more cautious.

The questions in the entrance test are difficult and do not require such a high score.

Hearing Hou Guohua talking about USTC again, Xie Rou looked confused, "Is USTC good? How does it compare to Harbin Institute of Technology? My brother said he is waiting for me at Harbin Institute of Technology, I want to apply to Harbin Institute of Technology..."

"..."

Hou Guohua almost vomited blood.

Defensive!
USTC, which is backed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was asked by a 14-year-old girl: How does it compare to Harbin Institute of Technology?

Which ignorant bastard instilled in kids the idea that USTC is not as good as Harbin Institute of Technology?

Is Harbin Institute of Technology on the same level as USTC?
