Comrade Makarov needs 'the Soviet Union, the Party Central Committee, the State Planning Commission, the Military Industry Commission and nine ministries of defense industry, 600 related majors, 8,000 supporting manufacturers and more than 200,000 technical talents.'
When the country engages in large-scale projects, it will look for someone to serve as the chief designer who understands the country's industrial layout and capabilities, can coordinate many scientific research institutes and factories, is familiar with sub-system architecture, and is good at system engineering.
But every person like this is a national treasure, so Zhou Qingfeng doesn’t need to think about it. He can’t even make a hammer, so he should just settle down and be a big ‘coin thrower’.
‘Shengguang Machinery’ built a motorized tricycle, and Professor Zheng, who was originally engaged in mining machinery, was able to steer it alone.
As Zhou Qingfeng's ambitions grew, Professor Zheng admitted that his energy and ability were limited. He, a retired professor who stayed in a fourth-tier town, did not have the ability to coordinate the overall situation.
When individual wisdom is not enough to cope with complex work, one must rely on the division of labor and cooperation of the team. Zhou Qingfeng did the next best thing and recruited an advisory group composed of old comrades through Xiao Jinlang.
This is when the role of money comes into play.
With money and plenty of money, cheerful laughter filled the conference room.
The members of the advisory board are generally older, some are considered young in their fifties and sixties, and some are in their seventies.
Zhou Qingfeng specially gave each of them a bottle of 'Holy Water', and when shaking hands, he and the fairies jointly gave them a 'Cure for Minor Injuries'.
‘Holy water’ can refresh the mind and get rid of negative states. ‘Treat minor injuries’ can cure diseases, strengthen the body and prolong life.
If you have time, let the tree spirit Irene prepare it, and you can also use 'remove disease' and 'treat minor injuries'.
If she waits for her abilities to improve, she might master the 'Regeneration Technique' one day, and paralyzed people can stand up again.
This can also be regarded as a small gift to the older generation, making them five, six or even ten years younger.
Zhou Qingfeng spent a large sum of money and paired it with teachers and students from Tianyang Metallurgical College, hoping to bring the experience and abilities of the advisory group into full play.
Who doesn’t like being able to do big things with a small amount of money?
It was not that there was no talent in the country in the 1990s, it was just that the country was too poor to let the talents show their abilities.
Without Zhou Qingfeng's intervention, the seven or eight old guys were at the associate researcher level at their worst. They divided their responsibilities by themselves and divided them into several groups according to power, electronics, materials, and machinery.
Each old guy has his or her own personal connections. I dare not say that he has disciples all over the world, but he must understand the situation in the industry.
Without financial support, personal connections are just connections. But with money in hand, connections can start to work.
Professor Zheng chatted with the consultants, jokingly talking about the past, present, and future. In just a few words, he got a thorough understanding of the current situation of the Holy Light.
'Shengguang Machinery' actually has nothing to say at the moment. The manufacturing industry is just a tricycle and a mixer. The advisory team came to Tianyang but it was overkill and underutilized.
Zhou Qingfeng's development goals are also very clear. He will do whatever is stuck in China thirty years from now. Therefore, he has listed many development directions.
Not to mention semiconductors and engines. CNC machine tools, high-tech materials, biochemical pharmaceuticals, aerospace, any direction can expand into thousands of subcategories.
Zhou Qingfeng wants to do everything, but can't achieve anything.
Professor Zheng scolded him for not grasping the key point, and pointed out pointedly, "Xiao Zhou, if you really want to make a career, you should start a big project that can drive the overall situation."
What is a big project?
A big project like "Star Wars" can drive upgrading and upgrading of the entire industrial system. However, the design of such a big project must take into account the actual situation, and it cannot be decided by just thinking.
After chatting with the old comrades on the advisory board for a long time, everyone praised Zhou Qingfeng as a young man with great energy and abundant capital, and his future is unlimited. But...
As for Tianyang Yeyuan and even the entire Tianyang City, even if all the technical personnel were gathered together, they could not support Zhou Qingfeng's ambition.
This is not directed at anyone in the 'Holy Light Machinery', but as a small town with little industrial capability, Tianyang really does not have outstanding talents.
Even if there are, they will all go to big cities to find jobs. Tianyang cannot retain people at all. Even if they retain one or two, they will not get the opportunity to exercise, and they will be useless after a long time.
People like Lin Wan who should have entered ministries and commissions or even gone abroad, but now stayed in Tianyang and developed, are exceptions among exceptions.
If 'Holy Light' wants to develop, it must first have someone. It cannot rely on a bunch of old consultants in their 60s and 70s, nor can it rely on young people in their twenties.
The 'Holy Light' lacks backbone personnel who are around thirty to fifty years old and in the prime of life. But this kind of talent is no better than a bunch of old men that no one wants. They are popular wherever they go, and every unit will definitely not let them go.
For example, the old engineer Xiao Jinlang met on the train was good at precision casting of molds. This is an important production process. For example, the engine casing requires precision casting.
The old engineer has rich experience and very good abilities. But he is in his sixties, and he has several students from the metallurgical institute as apprentices under him.
One side had a hard time teaching, the other side had a hard time learning, and the work progress was extremely slow. If the Holy Light hadn't given him so much money, the old engineer would have scolded his mother and returned to Wuhan.
We must continue to recruit people, and we must also recruit a group of backbones who can connect the previous and the next, who can work as soon as they arrive. The number of this group of people cannot be small, and it must be at least one hundred or more to achieve scale effect.
Xiao Jinlang recruited seven or eight 'Professors Zheng' in a week. Zhou Qingfeng said cruelly: "We still need young and middle-aged key personnel. If you are asked to free up your hands to recruit people, can you recruit a group of them?"
"
Xiao Jinlang was stunned for a moment and replied: "It's not impossible. Although the places in the Demon City and the Imperial Capital are not considered, there are quite a few scientific research units in the country that cannot pay wages.
These old consultants are familiar with the situation. With their guidance, I really want to let go. I dare not say tens of thousands, but it is no problem to recruit only one or two hundred key engineering personnel from the poor valleys of the third line.
The shock of the Gulf War has just begun, and the country is in a state of halo. Those people are now in the most miserable and poorest time. Are you sure you want to pull them in? Who specifically are you going to pull?"
Zhou Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what kind of people I want. But no matter what I can do if I recruit them, it is a good thing to have a lot of talents."
There are so many projects that I can spend money on here, so I can just keep a bunch of people for nothing. It’s better than having to recruit people to temporarily handle things.
I’ll give you two million first, for a one-month period. I’ll give you as much as you can in the fields of machinery, chemicals, electronics, and medicine. Let’s have sex.”
Xiao Jinlang pursed his lips and nodded: "Compared with foreign countries, domestic human resources are really cheap now. It is good to take the opportunity to gather a group of talents. As long as you have money, you don't have to worry about no one coming to work."
With the combination of Zhou Xiao and their money and connections, the fate of many people changed.
Xiao Jinlang once again ran around looking for connections with departments. Being familiar with the bureaucracy, he worked very efficiently.
