Chapter 213 China Experimental University (Part 1)

"As a matter of fact, I can't hide anything from the eldest son. If Lao Su and his friends had not set off for the United States in the second year of junior high school, they would have come together this time." Qilianshan said with a smile.

Foreigners do not have the idea of ​​celebrating the Spring Festival in the Lunar New Year. In Yuanjia, Hong Kong Basic Electronics and Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Company, abbreviated as Hong Kong Basic Electric Co., Ltd., signed with the American MiPS Company on the Japanese MiPS processor settlement agreement based on MiPS architecture officially came into effect on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Su Liangyu, Fang Xingdong, Jian Zhikang and others, who were already eager to see the r2000 processor, were all restless and spent a big day at home. On the second day of the New Year, they collectively set off for the United States to handle the return of r2000 chips and related technologies.

"Oh? What exactly does this Mr. Chen do? Even Lao Su and the others want to come over?"

Liang Yuan was even more curious when he heard Qilianshan say this. Although Yuanjia is far from the scale of the consortium at this time, it is absolutely impossible to call it a super-large enterprise according to the traditional name of the Republic. What can alarm the entire Yuanjia senior management, at least it must be the same as Liang Haiping's current preparation for the establishment of COMAC.

"This matter should have a lot to do with the Shangri-La Foundation established by General Liang." Zhou Yuanhang answered after taking over the conversation.

In order to make his lawless life in the Youth League class, Liang Yuan instigated Liang Haiping to set up a Shangri-La Foundation, which specifically sponsored the research expenses of Dongda University. At the beginning, the foundation mainly dealt with the metallurgy department of Dongda University. With the good operation of the foundation, and the rapid expansion of the chip laboratory after Jian Zhikang returned to China, he urgently needed a large number of engineers to enrich him. Su Liangyu and others simply used the foundation's channels to negotiate with Dongda University, intending to use Dongda University's strong educational resources to cultivate reserve technical strength for the science and technology park.

However, college students in the 1980s were no longer as scattered as the market and struggled to survive. Now they are all unified by the state to recruit students. Although global companies such as Yuanjia, Motorola and Coca-Cola have also obtained the qualification to directly recruit some national universities, with Yuanjia's popularity and sensitivity to the industry, there are very few people who can be recruited.

Before the New Year, Su Liangyu and others complained to Liang Yuan about personnel issues such as archives and compilation that affect the normal flow of scientific and technological personnel.

"It has something to do with the Shangri-La Foundation? Is the old man planning to return to China to give lectures?" Liang Yuan asked in a silence.

"Young Master has too many clues about this matter, and it is really hard to explain it clearly. Here is a detailed information. Young Master first checked out the basic bag he carried around, and took out a thick piece of information from it and handed it to Liang Yuan.

After taking the information handed over by Liu Wenyue, Liang Yuan only glanced at the cover of the information, and memories of his previous life suddenly popped up from his mind. No wonder he felt very familiar when he heard the name Chen Shubai just now. Looking at the big words "Preparation matters of China Experimental University" on the cover of the information, a wry smile appeared from the corner of Liang Yuan's mouth.

This time, Liu Wenyue really picked up an extremely hot potato and came back.

Chen Shubai is a well-known computer and network expert in the United States, and has profound attainments in the direction of local area networks and data links. He was the chairman of the International Academic Conference held by the IEEE Circuit and Systems Society in San Jose, California, USA. He is one of the top Chinese experts in computer networks. Due to his outstanding achievements in network and system theory research and teaching, Professor Chen Shubai won the "Presidential Special Award" in 1979.

When he was teaching at St. Clera University in his early years, he witnessed the rapid technological development of Silicon Valley in the United States, Chen Shubai had an increasingly strong desire to establish a science and technology university that combines theory and practice to let students apply what they have learned.

Due to his background, Chen Shubo initially looked for the Kuomintang authorities. In 1973, when Chen Shubo was a visiting professor in Taiwan, he suggested to Chiang Ching-kuo, who was in power at the time, to refer to the experience of Silicon Valley in the United States to establish a university of science and technology in Hsinchu, Taiwan. However, Chiang Ching-kuo did not pay much attention to Chen Shubo's suggestions, and Chen Shubo's school plan eventually died.

After the Republic was reopened in the late 1970s, domestic education and computer departments such as relevant departments invited Chen Shubai back to China twice. At first, Chen Shubai was worried about his father Chen Jitang, and he tentatively wrote a letter to 286. In the end, Mr. Qian Sanqiang, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, replied that 286 received his letter and welcomed him to return to China to give lectures, hoping that he would relieve his concerns and set off as soon as possible.

On September 9, 1980, 286 met Chen Shubai and his wife at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. During the meeting, 286 not only highly praised Chen Jitang's achievements in governing Guangdong, but also wrote a poem by Chen Shubai and his wife: "The brothers are here to overcome all the disasters, and they will clear their grudges when they meet," expressing their desire for unification between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

During the three months after his first return to China, Professor Chen Shubai conducted an inspection of more than 20 universities in the Republic. After returning to the United States, Professor Chen Shubai wrote a proposal, planning to establish a new university in the Republic, fully absorb the experience of American universities and cultivate high-tech talents urgently needed by the country.

After careful exchanges and rigorous research, in 1982, Professor Chen Shubai suggested to 286 during the summer lectures at the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to establish a "China Experimental Univertical Univery" in the Republic to catch up with the Republic's electronics industry, and relying on the newly established "China Experimental University" to develop the university's location into the Republic's Silicon Valley.

After receiving Professor Chen Shubo's suggestion, 286 said that he would consider it seriously. Later, Professor Chen Shubo's suggestion received a reply letter from Fang Yi, then director of the Science and Technology Commission of the Republic and He Dongchang, Minister of Education, to express his gratitude, but from the autumn of 1982 to the spring of 1984, there was no new news about the Experimental University, and Professor Chen Shubo thought it had fallen into the sea.

On January 24, 1984, 286 inspected Shenzhen, the then Secretary of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee and Mayor Liang Xiang, when he focused on the lack of relevant talents in the report, 286 said: A university should be run in the Shenzhen Special Administrative Region. This university should be run by overseas Chinese and foreign industrialists, using Western scientific and management methods. Teachers invite foreign scholars to be appointed. Foreign Chinese are invited to be the principals.

After the first trip to Shenzhen Special Zone in 286, the appearance of the special zone left a deep impression on 286. After returning to Peking, 286 invited senior central leaders at that time to talk to him: There are at least two things to do in Shenzhen now, one is to build a nuclear power plant, and the other is to run a university where Overseas Chinese investment runs a university. Overseas Chinese runs a university with high professorships. Many people are first-class scholars, and people pay to buy teaching equipment from abroad. This matter must be done seriously. We can't spend a lot of money. We can train a group of talents for us.

After the first inspection of the Special Administrative Region, 286 decided to promote further deepening of reform. According to 286's opinion, the central government decided to open up fourteen coastal cities including Wusong, Dalian, and Qingdao. This set off a new wave of opening up of the Republic. It can be said that the China Experimental University, which was planned to be established in Shenzhen at that time, was a very critical step in deepening reform.

In the summer of 1985, Chen Shubai, who learned that the preparations for China Experimental University had officially begun, returned to China happily and drafted the establishment agreement of the "China Experimental University", which is the thick document that Liang Yuan is holding.

Liang Yuan learned about China Experimental University in his previous life. He was chatting about aviation engine talent issues and occasionally heard his mother Li Yuanling mention it. He didn’t have a deep impression of other aspects. It was Li Yuanling’s words that this university had no party committee, which made Liang Yuan still remember it fresh.

Liang Yuanxian skipped the infrastructure and planning part of the information he was in hand and directly found the core part of the information he was in hand - the agreement signed by Professor Chen Shubai and the Shenzhen Special Administrative Region Government to establish China Experimental University.

The entire agreement is extremely short and capable, with only ten items.

1. The SAR government authorized Professor Chen Shubai to preside over the establishment of a comprehensive university, named "China Experimental University".

2. The purpose of China Experimental University is to learn from the advantages of education in advanced industrial countries, explore an advanced and suitable education system for China's national conditions, and cultivate a new generation of builders with advanced scientific knowledge.

3. The campus site is set in Shenzhen Special Zone, Guangdong Province. The government will obtain a piece of land with a suitable size and location and convenient transportation for the school as the campus site.

4. The school funding will be resolved by government funding and Professor Chen Shubo’s fundraising, and advanced instruments and equipment will be mainly resolved by fundraising.

5. Establish a school board of directors, composed of government leaders and famous people from home and abroad. The school board of directors decides the school's budget and other most important matters.

6. The principal is the highest person in charge of the school and is fully responsible for all the work of the school. The principal is nominated by the school board of directors and submitted to the government for appointment. The government agreed to appoint Professor Chen Shubai as the first and second principals, each term of six years, totaling twelve years.

7. The school affairs committee is appointed by the principal and filed with the government. The committee assists the principal and is responsible for full teaching and administrative work. The school implements the principle of separation of party and government.

8. The government authorizes the school to transfer faculty and staff from various departments across the country under the conditions of voluntary action. For incompetent personnel, the school has the right to return the personnel department to reassign work. The school has the right to determine the staffing and professional titles of faculty and staff.

9. The School Committee is fully responsible for leveraging the school’s funds, including equipment and salary funds, in accordance with the budget approved by the school board, and has the right to adjust the level of wages and tuition and miscellaneous fees.

10. The school participates in national enrollment, and graduates do not participate in the unified national allocation. The school is responsible for recommending to employers based on students' character and academic performance and their own volunteers. The government promises to provide personnel and household registration support.

Liang Yuan, who was baptized by the tide of information, smiled bitterly as he looked at the words of separation of the party and government in his hand. These four words seemed simple, but the storm that could cause might not even be able to control the 286 that could not be done well. Thinking about the storm that almost swept the entire Republic a few months later, Liang Yuan felt even more overwhelmed.

Zhou Yuanhang, sitting on the sofa on the right side of Liang Yuan, returned home shortly after he was moved by the complex political ecology in China. He looked at Liang Yuan with a wry smile and said anxiously: "Young Master Yuan, this university is crucial to the group. Let me give you the simplest example. When I served Gulfstream Aerospace, there were more than 5,000 aerospace engineers who were responsible for the development of Gulfstream 3 business jets, and there were about 20,000 developers indirectly. If there were at least 100,000 aerospace engineers in the industrial chain were serving Gulfstream projects."

"The situation in the domestic aviation industry should be clear that at present, the entire domestic aviation industry can be competent for the title of civil aviation engineer, there will definitely not exceed 60,000. At present, there are less than 6,000 related college students graduated from national aviation colleges every year. Even if all external factors are excluded, from the perspective of human resources alone, even if all the country's aviation resources are controlled by us, the current level of the domestic aviation industry cannot support the group's strategic planning."

"Considering that the MPC75 passenger aircraft project currently operates is close to large trunk passenger aircraft, the Gulfstream business aircraft with relatively small human resources are far beyond that. Unless Yuanjia only does component assembly in the future, human resources issues are destined to be a reality that we cannot avoid."

After hearing Zhou Yuanhang say this, Liang Yuan nodded secretly and was particularly satisfied with the headhunting company that found Zhou Yuanhang. Although the price is higher, judging from the ability Zhou Yuanhang has shown at present, it is definitely worth the money.

If we summarize the reasons for the backwardness of the Republic's aviation industry, from the R&D system to capital investment, from the technical level to the international environment, it would be absolutely uncommon to write a hundred thousand words in a scattered manner. However, Zhou Yuanhang did not talk about these things and directly grasped the most important core of the problem - people.

In 1988, even the Minister of Aviation and the Old Man who was guarding the door included, the entire Republic's aviation industry had about 500,000 employees. In the 1980s, in terms of the employee structure of state-owned enterprises in the Republic, excluding non-R&D personnel such as administration, management, production, logistics, affiliated enterprises, etc., one-fifth of the total number of scientific researchers who were technically employed would burn the incense.

These 100,000 technical R&D personnel are scattered among more than 200 aviation enterprises and institutions in the Republic, with an average of 500 people per company. If the military personnel and people with duplicate knowledge structure are eliminated, Zhou Yuanhang said that there are no more than 60,000 qualified aviation engineers in the entire Republic, which should be polite. According to Liang Yuan's own estimate, there will be 20,000 people, which is optimistic.

Even if you have money, equipment, and technology, what can you do without anyone? You can't do anything. Although the Chinese people's IQ is first-class on this planet, you can surpass five myths in the field of scientific research and Liang Yuan will definitely not meet.
