Chapter 164 The Great Times Have Changed(1/2)

Zhao Wanqiu did not stay in the end, but spent a short time with Lin Ping in the room for a few minutes, and then followed his grandmother to the alley.

After Zhao Wanqiu left, Lin Ping once again closed the doors and windows and pulled the curtains.

I turned on my laptop, but this time I put on my headphones.

There are two documentaries about archaeological discoveries on the computer, and Lin Ping strives to remember more content.

Although Lin Ping has read these contents seven or eight times.

After all, when I was crazy about landscape photography and starry sky photography, the content here accompanied Lin Ping one lonely day after another.

However, just as Lin Ping reviewed the previous content, an internal reference document was quietly placed on the leaders' desktop.

Some leaders even dragged their tired bodies after a busy day of work and were reading this book of internal reference.

With such internal reference, the levels of characters that can be read are very high.

It can even determine the arrival of the private economy.

It was this small internal reference back then, which played a decisive role at the end of 1983.

Although it is not the end of 1983, many things may not be mature yet and cannot meet the conditions for fully opening up the company registration.

However, for many leaders who read this internal reference, each of them was surprised at what they saw.

This internal reference records in detail how Chen Chunxian devoted himself to entrepreneurship as a scientist.

It is clearly recorded in it, the shock that Chen Chunxian saw in Silicon Valley, USA.

"Silicon Valley is very densely populated with countless talents. This is very similar to Zhongguancun, represented by our two prestigious universities in Tsinghua and Peking University.

Silicon Valley is leading the global semiconductor industry, and even in the cutting-edge field of computers, it also affects global development. All of this is dominated by policies, but more of the infinite vitality brought by commercial intervention.

There is no shortage of passionate young people in universities. They have ideas, knowledge and motivation. The only thing these young people lack is social experience and the funds needed to start a business.

Young people are the hope of the future, and there are countless investment companies waving money to recruit talents in Silicon Valley.

Such a grand occasion may not be possible in our country for the time being, but universities and commercial companies are completely insulated, which seriously violates the laws of nature.

What we should do is to guide funds into campus and let these funds activate one project after another that is surviving. Letting these projects shine will not only bring one patent after another to the country, but also activate the market and give consumers more choices.

And once the project is transformed into a successful commercial operation, the jobs it brings can also benefit many families.

Now, there is no capital. There are still various restrictions and shackles within the system. Even if everyone is willing to endure hardships, the various restrictions and shackles make the eyes of those with ideals dim.

The country will eventually re-establish the world stage. If the country is full of state-owned enterprises that are like stagnant waters, their work efficiency is inefficient, their capital turnover is slow, and they rely heavily on orders from superior leaders. The intellectual property rights are backward and they do not master core technology. How can such state-owned enterprises compete with those companies that have been fighting in the market economy for decades?

Just like a domestic pet dog, how can you escape when facing a wolf pack?

It is time to cultivate batches of wild wolves, make these enterprises rich in spirit, and let them compete with the world's powerful enterprises. To achieve this, the country must open up the registration and operation of private enterprises." Chen Chunxian, as a protagonist of the internal reference, was recorded in a complete manner.

After seeing Chen Chunxian’s report, some leaders attached great importance to it and even brought a pen to write something on this internal reference.

After writing, the leader continued to read the following content.

Many leaders are a little unfamiliar with Chen Chunxian, a nuclear physics expert.

But they are very familiar with the names they see later, because these days, they have frequently seen the name of this person in various internal reports.

Even in the internal information sent by other newspapers, the person's name often appears.

Lin Ping, a university professor.

This person is not only a university professor, but also returned to China to carry out joint production through a company founded in Hong Kong City.

In a very short period of time, some apprentices instantly changed from a monthly salary of more than 30 yuan to a high income of 1,200 yuan.

For these leaders, they have seen foreign intelligence all year round.

This kind of high wage is extremely common in developed countries.

But from another perspective, it is completely different to find that earning 1,200 yuan per person is not a sensational thing.

But it can allow a group of people, even workers in a industry, to raise their wages collectively.

This is more attractive to the leaders' attention and is also in line with the concept proposed by some leaders to make a small number of people rich first.

Even in foreign countries, it is extremely rare to collectively increase the income of workers in a industry in the short term.

Although some leaders have read the report sent by the Fourth Machinery Department, there are different contents in this internal reference, and there is even a whole interview about Lin Ping.

After reading so many reports and reports from Lin Ping, the leaders are naturally very curious about Lin Ping's interview and are extremely concerned about it. Now that they have the opportunity to see it, they will naturally not miss it.

"Have Mr. Lin considered making other electronic products besides game consoles, such as color TV recorders, or higher-end personal computers? I heard that in the United States, personal computers are already walking through many personal homes. Computers are no longer exclusive equipment for laboratories, and this has become a production tool for ordinary people." Reporter Zhou asked.

“Many people have asked me this question, and I have answered many versions, but because I told them the real reason, they may not understand it.

TVs and video recorders will never appear on our company's product list. Although TVs are praised as replacing radio stations and traditional paper media, in the final analysis, TVs are just a communication tool and no one can replace them. It's just forcing traditional media to add new departments and expand their own publicity channels.

TVs are just ordinary tools, and video recorders are even more worthless.

My company does want to develop personal computers, but it is hard to have no funds and no talents. In desperation, I can only find a way to make money first. Only when the company can survive can I be qualified to imagine the future. If I have ideals in my mind, but I starve to death tomorrow, then my ideals are not worth even a penny.

Even this small game console is also a famous university in Tsinghua and Peking University. It has taken great risks and worked together with our company to complete the research and development." Lin Ping helped reporter Zhou and told his secret.

The reason why Lin Ping confessed frankly was that he wanted to influence people who could determine their future destiny through reporter Zhou's interview.

"Risk? Since Professor Lin knows the risks, why are he still so persistent? After you make your first pot of gold, you can set up your own R&D team in Hong Kong City. What is the reason that makes you choose to stay?" reporter Zhou continued to ask.

"It's dedication! I do have some money in my hands now and can find the top R&D team abroad. But these people only have money in their eyes. And the teachers and professors I saw in two prestigious schools in Tsinghua and Peking University have not had such pathological persistence and pursuit of money.

Especially the principals of the two schools, he knew that cooperation with commercial companies would take great risks, and he might even lose his reputation for his whole life.

Do you think these two principals are for money? They are for the country's talent reserves and for talents with dreams and ideals to continue their research and development. Instead of letting a top nuclear physics expert do electrician work, or even letting a top astronaut sell popsicles on the street. They don't want top microbiologists to engage in agriculture and animal husbandry.

Education is the future of a country. When two principals watch one talent after another lose, it is probably even more unacceptable than their bleeding.

Many projects in the school have to be suspended due to lack of funds. Once a project is forced to suspend, the difference between us and the world's top level is getting bigger and bigger. Once a project is suspended for too long, the talents participating in the project will definitely be lost.

The two presidents cooperated with me in the hope that I could provide stable funds to help these precarious projects extend their lives. They could not get the benefits of a penny, but they would overwhelm their own lives. If our domestic environment is a little more relaxed and these universities are allowed to align with commercial companies in a reasonable way, then our country's technological level will improve rapidly and flourish.

However, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, first, private enterprises are allowed to register and operate legally. Compared with state-owned enterprises within the system, private enterprises are smaller in size and flexible in decision-making. There is no need to report and approve them at all levels. Moreover, profits and losses belong to individuals and will not drag down national finances.

Once thousands of private enterprises grow up, countless funds will support them in the research and development of various projects." Lin Ping said in a cliché.

"If the country opens up private enterprises, what kind of enterprises do you want to set up besides building game consoles?" reporter Zhou asked after hesitating.

"If possible, I hope to achieve the scale of the semiconductor industry chain. Whether it is to go to basic research and development in the upstream or consumer products in the downstream, I hope to get involved more deeply.

Of course, in addition to the electronics industry, I also hope to get involved in the aerospace field. I once had a dream, which was to go to the moon one day to take a look. If the country opens up private enterprise registration, I will definitely register an aerospace company. Maybe the first Chinese to land on the moon in the future will be me." Lin Ping said arrogantly.

This is because of this arrogance that has not been persisted for two seconds. Reporter Zhou said in a crackdown: "Do you know how much US dollars the Apollo plan costs? Do you know how much the entire Apollo plan has cost? This is not an industry that a private enterprise can operate.

Even if the state allows you, you don’t have that much money. At best, you can produce some small sports planes, such as two-seat or single-seat private planes, which I heard are very popular in the United States.”

"Money is not a problem for me. What really becomes a problem is that I need a relaxed environment. If one day I really own my own aerospace company, but it is limited to various policy orders, such as one day I built a rocket but could only stay on the launch pad for several years and could not move. Then no matter how much money I have, I am afraid I can do nothing. In order to fulfill my dream, I can only go to other countries to rent a piece of land." As long as I talk about money, Lin Ping will be very confident.

"According to foreign colleagues, the Apollo plan spent a total of US$49.2 billion. Is your company planning to earn US$49.2 billion with game consoles?" reporter Zhou deliberately raised a very difficult topic.

"The Apollo plan lasted for many years, and the 49.2 billion US dollars were not spent in one year.

If our domestic production capacity can keep up, even subsequent R&D can catch up with our company's needs. I have the ability to sell 50 million sets of game consoles a year to ensure a net profit of 5 billion US dollars within the year. With this money, I can carry out new R&D.

Within ten years, our investment can be equivalent to the Apollo plan. So money is not a problem to me. The real problem is that if we really have such a large amount of money and want to do aerospace, someone will definitely stand up and say that it is better to hand over the money to domestic aerospace and let them fulfill our dreams." Lin Ping stared into reporter Zhou's eyes and said this.

Of course, Lin Ping would not naively want to land in the moon, but what Lin Ping wanted was the ‘Star Link Project’.

Launch thousands of satellites in space to form a huge global Internet.

Just make the Internet speed reach 10 trillion per second, and you can become the largest leading company in the Internet industry in the next twenty years.

In this era when the Internet was not yet born, investing in the Starlink plan is much more reliable than the one Musk invested in later generations.

After all, in later generations, few people are willing to spend a lot of money on satellite Internet access.

Taking China as an example, there are few customers except in the Gobi Desert and the vast ocean.

After all, it is extremely cheap to use fiber to the home, and even if the traffic of using mobile phones is not used, ordinary consumers can afford it.

In this era, large-scale lines have not been newly built.

Instead of waiting for new routes in each country, it is really better to invest in satellite plans.

More importantly, Lin Ping has a Chinese business background and it is simply a dream to enter other countries to engage in the communications industry.

Even a small country does not want to hand over its own telecommunications Internet to foreign companies.

Not to mention, how can a developed country allow companies like Lin Ping to control their country's telecommunications Internet?

And the satellite project can bypass all this perfectly.

There is no need to wait for the other country's administrative approval, and there is no need to pay attention to the other country's various clamors.

Unless they use powerful signal shielding equipment to block communication between the ground and satellites, as long as consumers purchase signal antennas, they can connect to the satellite network in the sky to achieve the purpose of a free Internet trip.

This plan, whether from capital investment or administrative approvals in various countries, is the best choice.

When the Starlink project was successfully implemented, Lin Ping not only instantly had the Internet, but also had a global positioning system.

How could Lin Ping be willing to miss the good thing that wins multiple goals in one fell swoop?

It was in the early 1980s that this plan showed its true value.

Once this plan is dragged into the new century, in two thousand years, the value of this plan will shrink by 90%.
