In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 87 Is it natural to give technology for free? The dilemma of 611 Institute has been solved
"What do you mean by capitalism? Lao Cao, your factory doesn't need funds to develop new products? You can just provide the formula, technology, and process. What are you keeping the research and development funds for?"

Wu Tao gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and looked at Cao Yaoli.

Go to those fucking classmates.

After getting off the train, the two went straight to the chemical plant to find Cao Yaoli. When they heard that they were seeking cooperation, Cao Yaoli made all kinds of excuses and ignored their friendship as classmates, and refused to take the two to meet the relevant leaders of the factory.

Wu Tao, who knew Cao Yaoli, spent his own money to buy two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of good wine, and secretly sent them to Cao Yaoli's home.

This bastard got the benefit, so he acted like I had to spend a lot of effort to convince the factory director to meet you, and reluctantly took the two of them to meet the factory director.

At first, the factory manager was very enthusiastic when he heard that the two had brought the formula and process of the new product.

"The factory's products are in short supply right now. Don't you see the queues of cars waiting to get goods? We don't have time to come up with new products!"

When Wu Taogang said that the factory had to pay for technology development and that a share of the profits after production had to be given to Harbin Institute of Technology, the factory director simply drove the two out of the office with a lack of interest.

Cao Yaoli saw his opportunity.

If I can help the factory get the formula and technology without spending any money, that would be a political achievement!

As a classmate, he was prepared to persuade Wu Tao to give the formula and technology to the factory for free.

"You use the funds provided by the state to research and produce results, and then submit them to the state. The state then distributes the results to relevant factories to transform them into products. Isn't this natural? Now there is only a lack of submission and distribution procedures..."

Cao Yaoli felt that his reasons were sufficient.

"Old Wu, I'm doing this for the sake of your future as a classmate..."

"Fuck you, it's only natural!"

Wu Tao suddenly got angry, waving his arm and preparing to slap Cao Yaoli in the face, but was stopped by Wang Zheng who was beside him.

"Get lost, I don't want you as my classmate!"

"Okay! Okay, Wu Tao, you acted so noble in front of me when we were in school! Now you need my help, and you still have this attitude? Very good! If you can reach a cooperation agreement with the factory, I will take your last name!"

Cao Yaoli also knew Wu Tao's violent temper. Seeing that he didn't leave, he would be beaten.

With a cold snort, he turned away.

"Director Wu, you..."

Wang Zheng looked at Wu Tao in distress.

If we offend Cao Yaoli, cooperation will be even less possible.

"If you don't hold him back, I'll beat him up! He's just a selfish villain! Ignore him!"

"We can cooperate..."

"It's okay. Xie Wei predicted it. Let's buy train tickets tomorrow and head south to Huadu..."

······
Rongcheng.

Second Fighter Design Institute.

The technical meeting room was filled with a depressing atmosphere and smoke.

"...This is the situation. Although the superiors' attitude is unclear, the funding will be reduced. The Air Force is very dissatisfied with the progress and performance of the J-9... For the J-7III project, 132 has sent a team to Romania to inspect the MiG-21MF..."

Director Wang introduced to everyone with a serious expression the severe situation currently facing the institute.

"Technical Office 132 has been unwilling to give up the initiative. Now they are sending a team abroad for inspection. I'm afraid it will be even harder for us to get the modification project. Don't our superiors care?"

Director Song from the General and Pneumatic Room asked, "The institute has more experience."

The technical backbones of Institute 611 were separated from Institute 70 in 601.

The backbone of the entire team has participated in the technical development of the J-7 and part of the development of the J-8, and has far richer R&D experience than the 132 Technical Room.

"132 has been cooperating with Romania for a long time. A new batch of H-5s will be delivered soon. 132 used the H-5s as an excuse to go there, and the superiors couldn't say anything."

Director Wang's voice was full of bitterness.

The main task of the 611 Institute is to develop the high-altitude and high-speed J-9.

Since the project was launched in 70, the high-altitude, high-speed fighter has experienced many twists and turns: constantly changing performance indicators, industrial infrastructure that could not keep up, and then restarting...

Until now, there is no funding even for prototype manufacturing.

The J-7III project is a new requirement proposed by the Air Force based on development needs and is currently under discussion.

Factory 132, which has its own technical room, is unwilling to give up the leadership of the project.

If there are no new projects, the situation of Institute 611 will be extremely embarrassing - the future of the J-9 is uncertain, and without new projects there will be no source of funding, and the work of the entire institute may come to a halt.

"Can I apply to my superiors to go abroad to inspect the MiG-21MF?"

Someone raised an opinion. "I have raised this with the department leaders, but they have not made any statement unless we go there ourselves."

Director Wang's words left everyone silent.

The department's attitude seems to be not to interfere with the competition between the institute and the 132 Technical Room.

"Forget about Romania, but Bangladesh is also equipped with MiG-21MF."

Director Wang's words made the atmosphere in the meeting room even more depressing.

"By the way, Director, how do we deal with the cooperation letter sent by Harbin Institute of Technology?"

The words of a responsible person broke the dull atmosphere.

"The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Harbin Institute of Technology hasn't even been restored yet. They don't have much funding, right?"

"Their telegram clearly stated that 601 has sent people over... I think we can send people over first to understand the situation. If we can really cooperate, we can not only train more talents, but also conduct some new technology research with the funds of Harbin Institute of Technology. It's not enough to rely on funding from higher authorities. 132 has its own funds!"

Director Song spoke up.

The 132 Technical Department is not as strong as the 611, but the reason it can compete with the 611 for project leadership is not because the unit has its own slush fund, right?

"Cooperation is no problem, the key is whether Harbin Institute of Technology has money?"

Someone raised doubts.

Everyone fell silent.

"We need to go there to find out what the situation is. If they have money, it would be easier to cooperate with them than to go to higher authorities to ask for funds and projects. Director Song, how about you go there?"

Director Wang looked at Director Song.

Now the general room and the pneumatic room have almost no other work to do except continuing to make theoretical improvements on the aerodynamic layout of the J-9.

There is no funding to produce the J-9 prototype, and there is no way to verify whether the previous plan has any flaws.

"it is good."

Director Song nodded. Although he did not think that HIT could provide financial support, as Director Wang said, even if HIT could help share the theoretical research of some small projects, it would still be cost-effective.

Huadu.

Oil and fat chemical plant.

Even late at night, the lights in the factory conference room were still on.

"…What do you think of this telegram from Northeast China?"

Factory director Hou Guoyong circulated the telegram received by the mailroom today among the key leaders in the conference room.

As the first factory director after the factory director responsibility system was implemented, Hou Guoyong established a sales team under the state's unified purchase and marketing environment, began to actively seek sales and investigate the market; expanded the technical department, and prepared to develop new products.

"Harbin Institute of Technology is very strong in chemistry? I haven't heard of it before!"

Deputy Factory Director Cao Bing frowned.

With just a telegram, the factory director called everyone together for a meeting late at night.

He was dissatisfied.

"Shampoo and shower gel are key R&D projects of the factory. If the other party has successfully developed them, we can definitely cooperate. Not only can it save R&D time and money, but it can also be brought to market faster..."

Sales Section Chief Zhao Liangyu said seriously.

"Chief Zhao, please brief everyone on the situation."

Ignoring Cao Bing, Hou Guoyong directly asked Zhao Liangyu to introduce the market situation.

Zhao Liangyu is very young, in his early 30s.

He was the sales section chief promoted by Hou Guoyong.

"Shampoo, shower gel, etc. have a large market in Hong Kong, but there is not much market for laundry detergent and soap there... In the domestic market, there are already scattered shampoo, shower gel and other products entering through abnormal channels..."

Zhao Liangyu went to Hong Kong in person.

Exporting and earning foreign exchange is what Director Hou really wants.

After obtaining the support of the leaders of the Chemical Industry Bureau, Hou Guoyong immediately sent Zhao Liangyu to Hong Kong to investigate the market.

"In other words, there is no domestic market for these products?"

Cao Bing glanced at Hou Guoyong.

Zhao Liangyu and others went abroad, and he, the deputy factory director, was unaware of the news.
