"What do you think of me as a young man? What do you think of me? A Liangshan hero who blocks the road? I want scientific funding from you. It's a nail, a nail, a mao, and I'm not asking you for money blindly. , how can I raise the price for you just because of a meal? Of course, if you are willing to support the development of the motherland's scientific undertakings and give us more support, I will not refuse. Money, if you don't bring it in life, you will die. If you take it with you, you should put it into these meaningful things, so that your money can be spent meaningfully.
"
Jiang Hua said dumbfounded: "I know money needs to be spent meaningfully. The problem is that you are not the only place where I have to spend money. Our company is building a new silicon wafer factory. Machinery, equipment, workers, and raw materials are free of charge." "
The principal rolled his eyes and said, "I heard that you are quite rich yourself. There is a kind of charity activity abroad where you donate money to fund education. Why don't you follow suit?"
I have fallen into a wolf's den, and I can't leave without giving up a piece of meat.
Jiang Hua could only take out the check, signed a check for one million, and handed it to the principal: "This money is interesting enough. It's not that I can't bear to give you more money. My money also has other uses, and it can be used for other purposes." It’s also very meaningful.”
"What can be more meaningful than funding scientific research?" The old principal was very satisfied with the check in his hand, but he still said it reluctantly.
"I am also engaged in scientific research. I am planning to set up a private research institute recently. You also know how expensive scientific research is. This private research institute does not have state funding, so it has to rely on my money to support it, so I also You have to work harder to make money."
Jiang Hua's statement was very new, and the principal was immediately shocked.
"There are so many research institutes in our country, why do you bother to do so? If you can't spend the money, why don't you just donate to these research institutes?"
"It's different. Private research institutes have the benefits of private research institutes."
"What are the benefits? Let's talk in detail."
Jiang Hua's words aroused the principal's interest in conversation. He took Jiang Hua and sat directly on the flower bed in the courtyard, ready to have a good chat with Jiang Hua about the secrets of this private research institute.
Jiang Hua sat next to the principal, crossed his legs and said with a smile: "Then I will talk to you from several aspects. First, when the country allocates these graduate students, does it put the ones with good grades into those research institutes? Assignment, those with slightly worse grades may not be able to enter the research institute, or even worse, they may not be able to engage in scientific research for the rest of their lives. Do you admit this?"
The principal nodded: "I don't deny this. To engage in scientific research, you must concentrate your power to tackle key problems. Naturally, you must choose people with good academic performance. These people have a solid foundation."
"But have you noticed that there are two situations in scientific research? One is a person who is particularly talented but does not follow the rules. This may lead to his performance not being top-notch, but it is easy for him to have a flash of inspiration. The other is that this kind of person is not very qualified, but he is very resilient, his grades are not top-notch, but he loves to study, and if he studies a problem day by day for decades, he will eventually produce results."
The principal nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, there are indeed many such situations."
Jiang Hua continued: "The average college student is already in his twenties after graduation. If he graduates with a master's degree or a doctorate, he will be nearly thirty years old or even in his thirties. This is when they are young and strong and their thinking is active. Many great scientists at home and abroad
This is the age group that achieves results, but in many research institutes, students who have just graduated and started working are still junior researchers. Generally speaking, they can only play a minor role in research topics, which delays their performance.
.”
The principal took a deep breath, nodded slowly and said, "That's right. Some things are just delayed like this."
"What's left is that the national research institutes have a fixed system. The wages of most researchers are low and the welfare protection is not enough. Many researchers in their 30s and 40s still have to worry about daily necessities and cannot devote themselves to research.
Go, and the private research institute I established can provide high wages and high benefits, so that they no longer have to worry about the grunts in life, and only need to do research wholeheartedly. Isn't it easier to achieve results this way?"
The principal looked solemnly and said: "Everything is well-founded and hits the mark."
Jiang Hua shrugged and said, "One more thing. Just like you and I are asking for research funds, major research institutes across the country are also asking for funds. Money is really tight. My private research institute is definitely in a better situation.
"
"Could it be that the national research institutes are as bad as you said and have no merit at all? Then why are these research institutes established?"
"Yeah!" Jiang Hua shook his head: "I don't dare to talk nonsense. The country's research institutes still have many advantages."
"Then you can tell me a thing or two and I'll listen."
"First of all, there is strength with more people. The national research institute can concentrate its efforts on big things. If these people carry out technical research, compared with the national research institute, we will not have this advantage."
The principal smiled and patted his thigh: "That's true at all. Two bombs and one satellite. Isn't that how nuclear submarines are built?"
"There must be a lot of talents in the national research institutes. The talents that can be found in the private research institute I want to establish must have slipped through the net. The proportions are different and the results are different. At most, I am checking for leaks for the country.
It’s just filling a gap.”
The principal patted Jiang Hua on the shoulder and said: "What you said is quite fair. It shows that you have worked hard to study this matter. In principle, I support your approach. In the future, students from South China University of Technology will be willing to
I can introduce it to you."
"Then I really want to thank you for being old."
The principal then asked: "What kind of research does the institute you founded mainly conduct?"
Jiang Hua said proudly: "I think we should engage more in basic science research. On the one hand, it is very important, and our country cannot take care of it now. The country must now concentrate funds on cutting-edge research to solve current problems. Then
I’ll make arrangements in advance.”
"Hey, you kid is too mean to me." The principal excitedly slapped Jiang Hua on the thigh: "This kind of research is very critical and important. It is related to whether our country can take the lead in scientific research in the future and whether it can develop more.
long."
"You are too generous." Jiang Hua said humbly: "We are flower growers. We have been prosperous for thousands of years, but have declined in the past hundred years, so we have the responsibility to do our part for revival."
