The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 247 Money Arrived

Liu Hua said jokingly: "There is a saying that meat eaters are vulgar. How can these people who eat ready-made food all day have such vision? If they don't approve, you can just fight with them."

Director Xu was so stunned by Liu Hua's words that it took him a while to realize that Liu Hua was joking.

"Engineer Liu, we have no grudges against each other in the past or in the present, but you are trying to kill me." Director Xu said with a smile, "Did Old Sun teach you that? I know he has always wanted to be the director, and he is trying to kill me."

Liu Hua was shocked. He thought it was just a joke, don’t kill Lao Sun. He quickly explained: “It’s just a joke, don’t take it seriously. I have only met Lao Sun once. He doesn’t have the courage to say these things, but he wants to progress to the real thing.”

“Hahahaha.” Director Xu laughed and said, “I’m sorry to scare you. I promoted Lao Sun. He’s my old subordinate. I also hope he can make progress.”

After Director Xu finished speaking, he was silent for a while: "Two million is impossible, the best is one million. I still need to hold a meeting to discuss this, and I will have to argue with my superiors for a long time. Anyway, don't expect so much, but I can guarantee that it will be at least 500,000."

"Deal." Liu Hua nodded: "Just your words will do."

Director Xu was stunned: "You planned to spend 500,000 yuan at the beginning, right?"

"In business, you ask for a high price and pay it back." Liu Hua said with a smile: "If I ask for 500,000 directly, you will also bargain. I ask for 2 million. At least the 500,000 should be kept. Maybe you can even ask for a little more."

Director Xu gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Liu, you should be a businessman."

"Maybe."

In the next few days, Liu Hua was doing avionics optimization work at the Shanghai Aircraft Design Institute while also going to the Seagull to communicate with them about sponsorship funds.

Colleagues at Huaqing University make three phone calls a day, asking about whether the funding has been secured. As long as the funding is secured, they can focus on the next step of research. It is quite sad that a good housewife cannot cook without rice.

The avionics optimization work is actually not that difficult. We have been working together for such a long time and have a good understanding of each other. In addition, their original industry design is already very good. All we have to do is optimize the details. The flight control system was tested very smoothly in the wind tunnel.

How could it not be smooth? The data Liu Hua added were provided by the system. Although they may not be completely suitable for current aircraft, at least they have been tested by actual conditions.

After receiving feedback from the wind tunnel, Mr. Ma talked to Liu Hua and said, "The flight control system you designed seems to be more complete than those in Europe and the United States. I also know a little about their situation. Compared with your flight control system, it can be described in two words: crude."

"Don't praise me, I have some whimsical designs too."

Mr. Ma nodded: "It's not a wild idea. You've thought ahead. There are some problems we haven't encountered, but you raised them and we have also imagined them. There may really be troubles in the future."

For example, Liu Hua added a remote locking function to his flight control system. European and American flight control systems have this function after 911/.

In order to prevent terrorists from doing similar things again, if the plane deviates from its course, they can remotely lock the control of the plane and let the plane fly according to the guidance of the ground. Mr. Ma smiled and said, "Sometimes I really want to open your brain and see what you are thinking. Many of the questions you raise are too forward-looking and somewhat out of tune with the current situation."

Liu Hua could only smile: "I can't help it, my mind is full of random thoughts, and I always have some unrealistic ideas."

"I'll give you a suggestion." Mr. Ma said seriously: "Whether you are a person or a worker, you can't be too forward-looking. Even if you have seen the future, please keep your opinion to yourself. You can make minor adjustments, but you must not make major changes. If you take too big a step and involve too many things, you will often fail."

This is the teaching of all elders to later generations, and it is teaching with earnest words.

Liu Hua straightened his spine and said, "Thank you Mr. Ma for your teachings. I will keep it in mind."

"You should judge the situation and act accordingly." Mr. Ma shook his head. "I have a hunch that our country will develop rapidly in the coming period. I don't know how many years you can foresee. Maybe the development is too fast and your last idea will be outdated just as you are about to implement it. But in general, I think it is better to be cautious. Sometimes too radical views are not popular."

Director Xu of the Seagull Factory argued with his superiors for many days and finally approved 650,000 yuan of funding.

He said to Liu Hua with a sense of relief: "I have finally lived up to the trust placed in me. I broke down the concept of digital cameras and explained it to our leaders, but some people still couldn't understand. They thought I was just daydreaming and not working hard on making products. I was always thinking about future technologies. Some people were even more angry because they thought our country couldn't invent such high-tech technology. I was so angry that I slammed the table and had a big fight with them. If my leaders hadn't stopped me, I really wanted to wrestle with them."

Liu Hua smiled and said: "This is a very normal phenomenon. Since 1840, some people have always knelt before foreigners, and always felt that our country had no chance of developing high technology. Even though we stood up in 1949, they still did not stand up in their hearts."

"I hate it so much that my teeth itch."

Liu Hua called Professor Li to report on the research funding and told him that the superiors at the Seagull Factory had approved it and it would be transferred to the corporate account soon.

"We received a sum of 150,000 yuan today." Professor Li said puzzledly, "It was transferred from the Science and Technology Commission to us to research the lenses of the next generation of remote sensing satellites, but I don't understand how it was transferred to our account."

Liu Hua understood immediately and said with a smile, "When I came to the Seagull Factory to discuss this, I happened to meet two comrades from the Science and Technology Commission. They came to the Seagull Factory to discuss the lens for the remote sensing satellite. They were very satisfied with our lens and it already met their needs. This 150,000 is for the research fee of the next generation of lenses."

"Shouldn't it be given to the Department of Physics or the Department of Chemistry?"

"The Science and Technology Commission is well-informed." Liu Hua said happily: "I guess they found out that I was the person in charge of the digital camera project, so they gave this task to our project."

"I was so happy for nothing. I thought I could use it temporarily."

Liu Hua said nervously: "That won't do. The rest of the money doesn't matter. This 150,000 yuan must be used for its intended purpose."
