Chapter 335 Freedom to Come and Go
"This trip to the United States has exhausted me."

Lin Zhenhua sat on the sofa in He Haifeng's office, complaining exaggeratedly.On this trip, he and his companions stayed in the United States for more than half a month, and they just returned to Beijing today.He asked everyone to find a hotel to stay in, and he himself came to the Economic Reform Commission to report the situation of the trip to He Haifeng.

He Haifeng personally poured a cup of tea for Lin Zhenhua, put it on the tea table beside him, then sat back behind his desk, and said to Lin Zhenhua with a smile: "Tell me, how you harvested, just look at your expression, Your trip to the United States should be a great harvest."

Lin Zhenhua sat up straight at once, looked at He Haifeng in surprise and asked, "Why, is my expression very unreserved?"

He Haifeng said: "It's time to change your expression. Every time you do something proud, you pretend to be careless and want to surprise others. It's not new if you keep doing it like this. Okay. , tell me, what did you gain this time?"

"The harvest is not small." Seeing that his pretentiousness was exposed, Lin Zhenhua was also embarrassed, and he admitted honestly: "We have negotiated an agreement with Spischer to jointly develop the numerical control module. At the same time, Spischer Seoul also agreed to ask our Hanlu Machine Tool Company to do the OEM for them.”

"This is a remarkable achievement." He Haifeng said happily.Although he works in the Economic Reform Commission, mainly doing some policy research, he also knows a lot about industrial technology issues. He knows Spischer's position in the field of CNC machine tools. If Hanlu Machine Tool can compete with Spischer's cooperation in the development of CNC modules is of great help to improve the level of CNC machine tools in our country.

"Hehe, what's even more remarkable is that Spischer also agreed to secretly provide us with the control chip of the five-axis machine tool." Lin Zhenhua proudly showed off.

He Haifeng's eyes lit up: "The control chip of the five-axis machine tool? This is a cutting-edge technology product. I heard that the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense has been trying to find a way to make this kind of chip."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Who says it's not? I'm going to have a chat with the people from the Science and Industry Committee in Beijing this time. If you come to trade it with me, I won’t give it to them.”

He Haifeng said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Xiao Lin, you are getting more and more courageous, and dare to bargain with the Science and Industry Committee. Are you afraid that the military will force you?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "The military has to be reasonable, right? If I get them good things and they come up and grab them, who will work for them in the future?"

"You're right." He Haifeng nodded.He knew that Lin Zhenhua had a lot of connections with the national defense science and industry system. Liu Xianghai, Chen Tian, ​​and Zhang Zhifang were all people in this area. Presumably Lin Zhenhua would not suffer.

"In addition to the cooperation with Spischer, we have some unexpected gains this time." Lin Zhenhua said.

He Haifeng asked: "What harvest?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "When we were in the United States, a strike happened at a refrigerator company in New York. The boss of the company was very annoyed and determined not to compromise with the workers."

"Oh, what is he going to do?" He Haifeng asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "His solution is very simple, that is, to move the production of refrigerators to China and close the production line in the United States. In this way, American workers will no longer be able to threaten him with a strike."

"So, he wants to subcontract the production task to you?" He Haifeng said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Exactly. We initially agreed to undertake the assembly business of 30 refrigerators per year. The raw materials are provided by the United States. We are only responsible for the assembly. The processing fee is 750 million US dollars."

He Haifeng nodded and said: "It's really a good deal. Xiaolin, you are really a lucky general, and you can get such orders."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old He, I told you this not just to show off our orders, but to remind the Economic Reform Commission that there should be a large number of similar orders in the United States. We should organize a huge delegation to the United States to grab orders.”

"Are you sure?" He Haifeng asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "I have specifically learned that two years ago, the Reagan administration proposed the Star Wars plan, which included a series of high-tech technologies such as rocket technology, aerospace technology, high-energy laser technology, microelectronics technology, and computer technology. Currently , the entire industry in the United States is leaning towards high-tech, and traditional industries are declining. Under such circumstances, many traditional industries will inevitably relocate to developing countries, and we must seize the opportunity to pick up these foreign countries.”

He Haifeng frowned when Lin Zhenhua talked about the Star Wars project, and said: "The central leadership attaches great importance to the Star Wars project, and even tasked several ministries and commissions to conduct research and discuss countermeasures. If the United States really completes With the Star Wars plan, they are equivalent to having a protective umbrella, and they can only fight others, and others cannot fight them, which is also a great threat to our country's national defense security."

"No way? Even the central leadership is paying attention to this matter?" Lin Zhenhua felt a little surprised.

The so-called Star Wars program was a concept proposed by US President Ronald Reagan in a speech in 1983, and was later approved for implementation in 1984.According to the information disclosed by the U.S. government, this plan refers to an investment of 1984 billion U.S. dollars from the 1989 fiscal year to the 250 fiscal year to develop key technologies and verify possible solutions for advanced anti-ballistic missile systems, and complete the entire plan by 1994. and determine whether to deploy.This plan was once considered to be another major science and technology plan of the United States after the Apollo moon landing project.

However, as a time traveler, Lin Zhenhua knew that the Star Wars plan was not implemented in the end, and the US anti-ballistic missile system had not yet matured until the beginning of the 21st century, let alone deployed it in 1994.This plan with loud noises and little rain has actually produced two effects in history. One is to give birth to a number of high-tech in the United States, and the other is to lure the former Soviet Union into an arms race, which eventually dragged down the Soviet Union’s economy and contributed to the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhenhua reminded: "Old He, I have heard some other opinions about the Star Wars plan for your reference. This plan is probably just a smoke bomb thrown by the US government to deceive the Soviet Union. Compete with the United States. If the Soviet Union tries to defeat the American anti-ballistic missile system, it will have to invest huge sums of money to develop a new generation of ballistic missiles, and with the current economic strength of the Soviet Union, such a huge investment may make it fall into a quagmire."

"Who did you hear it from? Is this news reliable?" He Haifeng asked seriously. Obviously, Lin Zhenhua's words gave him some inspiration.

Lin Zhenhua quickly said: "Actually, no one directly said that. I just made such a judgment based on some news I heard. It's just for reference."

That's all Lin Zhenhua can say. He can't say he has foresight, can he?At that time, there were many introductions to the American Star Wars program in China. The mainstream view was that the United States would experience a new technological leap, and China should imitate the United States and increase investment in high technology to avoid further widening the gap.The question raised by Lin Zhenhua should belong to a relatively different point of view, and I believe people of insight will be inspired by it.

"Your idea is very valuable. I will pass it on to the relevant comrades in the Military Commission and the Science and Technology Commission, and ask them to evaluate it again. If this is really a scam by the US government, our strategy will have to be changed." He Haifeng said.

"Will we remind the Soviet Union not to be fooled?" Lin Zhenhua asked stupidly.

He Haifeng said: "Our country has normalized relations with the Soviet Union. As for whether such information will be exchanged with them, I don't know. Do you want to remind them?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "I think it's better not to remind them?"

"Why?" He Haifeng asked with interest.

Lin Zhenhua said: "A powerful Soviet Union is not a good thing for China."

He Haifeng laughed silently. On this issue, he and Lin Zhenhua shared the same opinion. However, in his capacity, it was impossible for him to say this straightforwardly like Lin Zhenhua.

"Forget it, let's leave diplomatic affairs to the diplomatic department." He Haifeng put aside this topic, and returned to the original topic: "Xiao Lin, you just talked about picking up foreign lands, can you explain in detail? ?”

"Yes." Lin Zhenhua said, "The refrigerator company we cooperate with is called Tiger Company. The average weekly salary of their workers is 420 US dollars. Even so, the workers still feel that the wages are too low, and they are still on strike. Blackmail the boss to raise wages. The weekly salary of our Chinese workers is less than 10 US dollars, which is very attractive to American capitalists. I think that we should have the government come forward and organize a large number of enterprises to go to the United States for sales promotion. The industries that American companies are about to give up are brought to China.”

"The Ministry of Foreign Trade has been doing this all the time." He Haifeng said.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said: "The Ministry of Foreign Trade has not done enough. They want to win foreign trade orders, so they are desperately lowering our asking price. This is wrong. In fact, it is the capitalists in the United States who need us more now. They want something from us, and we can have a certain degree of initiative in negotiations. I think you, the Economic Reform Commission, can go to the United States to investigate and fully understand the situation in American society, and then formulate a more favorable marketing strategy. "

"Well, that's a good idea." He Haifeng nodded. He picked up a pen and wrote down Lin Zhenhua's suggestion, planning to find someone to conduct research later.

Next, Lin Zhenhua told He Haifeng about Du Xiangyang again, and He Haifeng sighed: "It's really sad. We have cultivated talents for so long, but finally fell into the arms of others. It seems that we need to strengthen our skills." Ideological education for overseas students."

Lin Zhenhua said: "You are too bureaucratic. Du Xiangyang's matter cannot be solved by simply strengthening ideological education. People are self-interested. For scientific researchers, they need to have scientific research conditions and good training. Living environment, if we can't solve these two things, it will be impossible to attract talents to return to China only by ideological education."

"But the conditions of our country are like this, and this cannot be changed overnight." He Haifeng said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "I have an idea about this matter. After I go back, I plan to build a business park for returnees in Xunyang to provide returnees with the same living environment as in the United States, and at the same time provide them with scientific research institutes. The required funds and technical conditions. If they intend to use the knowledge they have learned to start a business, I will also provide them with start-up funds so that they can use what they have learned.”

"This investment is quite a lot." He Haifeng said, "Is it appropriate for such an investment to be made by one of your companies?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "I've thought about it. The investment in doing this is indeed a lot, but the benefits are also very obvious. Compared with the United States, the current level of technology in China is far behind. Those who have achieved success in the United States, if If we can bring the knowledge we have learned back to China, there will be a huge market, and I believe our investment will definitely be rewarded.”

He Haifeng thought for a while, nodded and said: "Xiao Lin, I found that your courage is getting bigger and bigger. In fact, this matter should be done by the state, but the current financial situation of the state is not optimistic. If you need money, it may be difficult to squeeze out funds to do this. If you can do it, it will ease some of the burden on the country."

Lin Zhenhua said: "This plan is still just my personal idea. Because it involves the investment of the company, I have to go back and discuss it with other leaders of the company before making a decision. However, there is a policy that I would like to ask you to help us fight for. "

"What policy?" He Haifeng asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "At present, many students studying abroad are worried about the instability of domestic policies, which is one of the reasons why they are unwilling to come back. I think that if they want to return to China to work with peace of mind, they should be promised to come and go freely. Eliminate their worries. When they come back to work, if they feel that the domestic environment is not good, they can leave at any time, so that they will not have a psychological burden."

"Freedom to come and go?" He Haifeng was a little hesitant. "It is very difficult for us to train an international student. We finally got them back and promised to come and go freely. What if they can't stay here and go away?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "It depends on whether our policies are right. If our policies can make everyone feel happy, why do you leave? After all, this is their motherland, and they have feelings for the motherland. On the contrary, if Our policies are not good, and people feel that they cannot display their talents, so what is the use of using policies to forcibly call them back, or detain them?"

"You're right." He Haifeng also figured it out. In fact, he and Lin Zhenhua had a tacit understanding in many aspects.At first he heard Lin Zhenhua's idea, he was somewhat conflicted, but after thinking about it carefully, he still understood it very well.

"How about this, Xiaolin, write your thoughts into a report and give it to me. I'll ask the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Education to discuss it together. The idea of ​​freedom of coming and going is very good, and we should have such confidence. "

　Well, there are two updates today, a total of 9000 words, is it okay?I know that everyone has no monthly tickets, so how about some recommendation votes to encourage them?
