Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 198 Applying Eye Drops (First Update)
"Then there's no rush!" Li Song said.

"Mhm!" Ma Shengli nodded.

Then Ma Shengli spoke up, saying, "The main reason is that some research institutes want to participate in Mr. Li's semiconductor research."

"Mr. Li, as you know, we have many research institutes in China, and different institutes for different specialties!"

"And they also have research institutes for semiconductors and processors!"

“Mr. Li, you’ve brought back so much technology that it’s inevitable that these research institutions will find out about it.”

"The technology you brought back has enabled hundreds of research institutes in our country to make a tremendous leap forward!"

"To put it bluntly, someone has been watching us for a while now."

"Although Mr. Li, please keep your identity confidential!"

"But as long as we do something, people will know about it. Others may not know who you are, Mr. Li, but they know what we are about to do!"

"Mr. Li, you know about this too!"

"The personnel structure in China is still quite complex."

“The directors of these research institutes have teachers, leaders, and classmates, so they naturally have influence with higher-level departments,” Ma Shengli said.

Li Song chuckled upon hearing this: "Actually, we don't rule out the possibility of mainland research institutes joining us."

"But Mr. Ma, have you thought about this?"

"Their motives for some things are not so pure."

Upon hearing this, Ma Shengli asked with a serious expression, "What does Mr. Li mean?"

"We brought back so much technology and so much equipment."

"And we've applied for so many patents!"

"Others have probably already discovered this, so if they want to trace the source of these technologies, what methods do you think they will use?"

"Through whom will they investigate these technologies?"

"It depends on relationships between people, of course!"

"It's impossible for someone to provide information to someone they don't know for no reason!"

"So being too proactive in some things isn't necessarily a good thing!"

"To put it bluntly, in a research environment like this in China, the monthly salary is only so much, no matter how good or bad it is?"

"To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief!"

Ma Shengli nodded in agreement upon hearing Li Song's analysis.

Li Song is right; no matter how you work, your monthly salary will only be the same.

"And they knew perfectly well that these technologies were classified."

"We should obey our superiors and follow orders!"

"So I have a suggestion, though it's not a formal one: those who are overly enthusiastic should probably be investigated!"

"Of course, I also know that many people want domestic technology development!"

"But no matter what, since they want to get involved, they'll definitely have to investigate first, since the technology inside this research institute is top secret!"

"Finally, I would like to tell Mr. Ma that we can select some people to join our research institute, but we will not cooperate with any other organization!"

"This involves future intellectual property patents!"

Li Song didn't know who was being so enthusiastic, but that didn't stop him from trying to sow discord among them.

There are only a few reasons why these people are so enthusiastic. The first is that they genuinely want technological advancement.

Li Song can understand this, but he doesn't agree with it, because the technology belongs to oneself, and one cannot share this technology with others for free.

The technology was acquired from a second-hand platform with my own hard-earned money.

Of course, when it comes to military technology, it doesn't matter, because we can't do it ourselves!

Secondly, some people want to get promoted and make money, since they believe that only by achieving results can they get promoted and make money.

The third possibility is that they have other ideas.

But no matter what his ideas are, Li Song will never cooperate with domestic organizations!

Because the interests involved in semiconductors are too great. Once the other party gets involved, there will be issues regarding the subsequent distribution of profits.

They might be falsely accused of being a swindler who embezzles state-owned assets.

Ma Shengli nodded: "I will report to my superiors."

Ma Shengli knew that his superiors might have similar thoughts, but there were some things he couldn't bring himself to say.

If it's something one's own people bring up, then it means they don't trust their own people.

What will others say?
But it's different when Li Song mentions it.

Because the system doesn't mean that anyone can decide something with just a word.

This would be a major taboo.

Moreover, Ma Shengli felt that the reason why this matter had not been decided was probably because they were waiting for Li Song's side to react.

Li Song's intention is now very clear: he refuses to cooperate with domestic entities.

However, it did not refuse to utilize domestic talent.

This is also Li Song's consistent way of doing things.

Thursday, August 28, 1980.

Li Song took a plane to Chang'an in the morning.

BMW's aircraft manufacturing plant has already started construction.

BMW, the aircraft manufacturing company, is headquartered south of Chang'an City.

It's not far from the current airport!
From the outside, it looks like a large area of ​​bungalows.

This used to be a military camp, but it has now been transferred to BMW Aircraft Manufacturing Company.

This military camp contains many concrete bunkers and underground works.

It's perfect for storing all sorts of confidential technologies.

"Boss!!!" Mr. Ma, the head of BMW Aircraft Manufacturing Company.

"Mr. Ma, is there any difficulty?" Actually, Li Song didn't have to come here, but it wouldn't be right for him not to come. As a boss, he couldn't really just wash his hands of the business.

"There are no difficulties; everything has been resolved."

"The only difficulty is that we are too slow in mastering the technology!"

"Because this technology is far more advanced than the technology we've come into contact with!"

"We used to use turbofan engines with a bypass ratio of only 1.8, but now this engine has a bypass ratio of 5!"

“In the past, we needed four engines for one airplane.”

"Now an airplane only needs two engines."

"Moreover, in terms of payload capacity, the new aircraft is in no way inferior to our original aircraft!"

"The new aircraft technology completely surpasses our old aircraft, whether in terms of flight distance or flight altitude!" Teacher Ma said with emotion.

"I know your plane was modeled after the Boeing 707!"

"The Boeing 707 was developed in the late 1950s!"

"This aircraft is a new technology that has only been researched in recent years; there was a gap of a full twenty years in between!"

"I think Professor Ma should build a core engine based on the technical data first!" The core engine that Li Song was referring to was the core engine design of the two aircraft engines that they had presented this time!
Li Song could have brought the core unit back with him, but he decided that the core unit was the foundation of the entire technology.

Involving the technical team in the manufacturing of the core engine will greatly help in future upgrades and replacements of engine technology.

Assembling someone else's is completely different from making your own.

"Yes, that's exactly what we're planning!" Teacher Ma nodded.

Then, under Teacher Ma's guidance, Li Song met the team that Teacher Ma had brought.

The team that has arrived so far is just the technical team, which numbers over two hundred people.

Actually, Teacher Ma selected more than just these people, but the others were unwilling to come to Chang'an!
What kind of place is Shanghai?
That's why many people are unwilling to come to Chang'an!
