life in the sky

As soon as he said this, Elder Zhong also remembered that he had once told Zhong Ling that the affairs of the Northwest Aeronautical Research Institute should be kept strictly confidential, and no one could talk about it except their grandparents and grandchildren.But he didn't expect Zhong Ling to include Mu Guoxing in anyone.

"Wang Liudan, you should know him, right? His son Liu Qiang is in charge of the Institute of Aeronautics. It took a lot of effort to send him abroad to study aviation. This child worked very hard while studying. After finishing his Ph.D., it took him 15 years to climb to the position of deputy technical director of one of the most famous aircraft manufacturing companies in the United States, even if he returned to China this time, we also put in a lot of effort!"

Although Zhong Lao said these words lightly, Mu Guoxing knew that things were far from that simple.As Wang Liudan, if he wanted his son to study such a sensitive subject abroad, he had to set up another identity.You must know that some Western countries still have strict technology blockades. If they knew Liu Qiang's true identity, they would not let him study in the subject of aerodynamics, let alone a famous aircraft manufacturing company. Served as Deputy Technical Director.

"Haha, how about it, I told you before, the person I chose will definitely not be inferior to Shao Jingyi from the Institute of Electronics, right?"

"If Liu Qiang is in charge of this research institute, we can rest assured! He gave up the favorable living conditions abroad, so we can't treat him badly just because of this."

Zhong Lao Zou frowned and said slowly: "Do you think that you are the only one in our country who is truly patriotic? Don't forget that there are thousands of people like you in our country who are dedicated to making the country prosperous and strong." And hard-working people with lofty ideals, without these people, can you alone take on the great cause of national rejuvenation?"

Mu Guoxing was taken aback when he heard this. Ever since he met Zhong Ling, Mr. Zhong had never talked to him so seriously. He could tell that Mr. Zhong was very dissatisfied with what he just said.

"Grandpa, I'm wrong, please criticize me. I think since we are a private scientific research unit, it's better to follow the market rules. It's right to pay attention to dedication, but we should also give them some due treatment. It can better mobilize everyone’s enthusiasm.”

Mr. Zhong nodded: "It seems that I have misunderstood you a little bit, and what you said has some truth. After all, it is not the era of the past. It is not advisable to just let people donate and not give them back. You should pay attention to these trivial matters. I will not participate in the opinion as long as it is done.”

The two raised their teacups at the same time, savoring the overnight fragrant tea brought by Mu Guoxing, and after a while, Mr. Zhong said: "I plan to set up the ship research institute in this place!"

With the voice, a bright spot of Zhong Lao's laser pointer came to a harbor in the eastern coastal area. Not far from here was a secret military port.

"In this area, I sent people to requisition [-] mu of land. I estimate that it will cost you another [-] billion. The whole project will take three years to complete, and the person in charge of the work there is the commander of the Anjiang Naval Base. Jiang Haopei's son, Jiang Hai, was sent abroad by us for further study at the same time as Liu Qiang, and was also the deputy technical director of a famous foreign shipbuilding company before returning to China."

Hearing this, Mu Guoxing understood that these old guys, who usually keep silent, have arranged for so many young talents to go abroad for further study in advance over the years, and they are looking at the long-term.Presumably, seeing Mu Guoxing can invest such a large amount of money this time, these people were called back to China. As for the number of other disciplines that have not been called back, I don’t know how many.

Seeing that Mu Guoxing was deep in thought, Elder Zhong smiled and continued, "You are now a senior cadre of the party, and there are some things I should let you know."

Mr. Zhong took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I have reported to the old No. [-] and the current No. [-] many times about your plan to establish a private military research institute. They agree with your idea very much and authorized me to let you Let me tell you something, these are the top secrets of our country, I hope you will strictly keep them secret at any time and place."

Mu Guoxing knew what the top secrets Mr. Zhong was talking about were those secrets that only the top leaders of the central government could grasp.The new and old No. [-] can authorize Zhong Lao to tell his secret, which means that from now on, the central government has fully trusted him.

"Please rest assured that the Central Committee, I will always keep the secret."

Mr. Zhong nodded, looked at Mu Guoxing with such deep eyes, and said slowly as if reminiscing about a past event: "In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to various blockades against our country by the Western countries headed by the United States, after In addition, our country has been ravaged by foreign invaders for nearly a hundred years, and the industrial base is almost equal to zero. Under such circumstances, the first generation of central leadership formulated an unprecedented plan, code-named 'Longteng'!"

"The main content of this plan is to select a group of outstanding talents from among the children of some senior cadres in our country, and send them to western developed countries for study. The purpose is to master their advanced technology. When our country's economic situation improves fundamentally, According to the needs, they will be recalled to the country in stages and batches to participate in the construction of various fields."

VIP Chapter [-] Special Functions

"In the past few decades, we have sent a large number of overseas study teams. Most of them have achieved success in their studies, and some have held important positions in some famous foreign companies. Of course, our country has also spent on these people. With a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, judging from the current situation, it can be said that the Longteng Project is progressing very smoothly."

"You also know that modern science and technology cannot achieve progress by relying on a single discipline. It requires the coordinated progress and development of multiple disciplines in order to achieve the success of a scientific research project. Take the Shipbuilding Research Institute you are about to establish To put it bluntly, dozens or even hundreds of different processes such as metallurgy, electronics, and welding are involved, and the technical level of these processes needs to be greatly improved. If one aspect is missing, the consequences will be unimaginable. .”

"Such a huge project cannot be completed by relying on you, Ssangyong Group alone. The goal must be achieved by concentrating the efforts of the whole country, and the most important factor to achieve this goal is people. Originally, the country still thought about it in a few years. Initiate this project, but because of your inadvertent push, the plan was started ahead of schedule."

"In recent years, a large number of technical talents who have successfully studied abroad will return to China one after another. This requires the overall consideration of the central government. It is impossible for Western countries to discover our intentions and allow these people to return to China smoothly. The size and complexity of the situation is unimaginable.”

"Fortunately, the non-governmental scientific research institution you established has created a convenient condition for these people to return to China, and it has also created a good reason for us to accept top scientists from all over the world. This is also why the central government launched the Longteng One of the main reasons for planning!"

After hearing Mr. Zhong's words, Mu Guoxing sat blankly on the chair and didn't say a word. He also didn't expect that the three private scientific research institutions established by Ssangyong Group were involved in the top secrets of the country and obtained the top secrets of the central government. So much attention.

"Grandpa, what do we need from now on?"

Mr. Zhong looked at Mu Guoxing's firm eyes, and said word by word: "Since the plan has been launched, it is beyond your control. What you need to do is to provide these three scientific research institutions with a steady stream of funds. Support! The central government will also provide some convenience for the operation of Ssangyong Group at an appropriate time. Since you have used all the dividends of the shares for military research, why should we let some foreign companies or joint ventures earn money from our country? Woolen cloth?"

Mu Guoxing thought for a while and then said: "We are going to spend [-] billion for the start-up capital of the first phase. According to the current operating conditions of Ssangyong Group, we can add another [-] billion for scientific research every year. If If it is not enough, I will go to foreign futures markets to earn their money and use their money to support our scientific research work.”

Mr. Zhong smiled: "The initial start-up funds are not so much. The basic construction of the two scientific research institutes needs about [-] billion yuan, and [-] billion yuan is used to import advanced equipment and instruments from abroad, and another [-] billion yuan is used Hiring top scientists from abroad, in this case, with [-] billion yuan, these three scientific research institutes can be established and operate normally.”

"However, I want to tell you that after the establishment of these three scientific research institutes, they will be three money-burning machines. The annual scientific research funding is usually [-] billion, which is about the same. , this amount of money is simply not enough.”

In fact, in Mu Guoxing's heart, what he wants most is the manufacture of aircraft carriers and aircraft.Whenever he sees the aircraft carrier and aircraft of that western power in the newspaper or on TV, showing off its power at our door, his heart feels like being cut by a knife.This is why he spent [-] billion a year to support the construction of the army at the beginning of the establishment of Ssangyong Group, and now he wants to establish a private scientific research institution.

"Grandpa, don't worry! Ssangyong Group is now controlled by us, and we spend [-] billion yuan every year from our share dividends. In the future, if we add the support of the central government, I estimate that [-] billion yuan will be used every year. It shouldn’t be a problem for military scientific research. I still say that, if it doesn’t work, I’ll go to earn money from foreigners!”

Hearing this, Mr. Zhong suddenly asked, "Guoxing, I heard from Linger that the financial investment department you personally direct accounts for one-third of Ssangyong Group's profits every year. How do you do that?" How did you do this? Your grandfather and I, as well as your grandfather Wu, have been wondering, do you have any supernatural powers? How do you know so clearly about the changes in futures and the stock market?"

Mu Guoxing was taken aback. He had already sensed that these three old fellows had doubts about him, but it was the first time for Mr. Zhong to ask such a straightforward question today!

"Grandpa, look at what you said. The supernatural powers are all other people's legends. Who has seen them with their own eyes? I can understand the market changes so well, not only because I have a background in economics, but also because I have done a lot. For investigation and research work, who knows how much effort I have put into it? However, I am indeed very sensitive to numbers. After researching, I feel that these numbers seem to be alive. There are some rules in the market changes, I just discovered the rules that others have not discovered!"

Hearing Mu Guoxing's half-truth and half-false words, Veteran Zhong nodded suspiciously. He also knew that Mu Guoxing hadn't told him the truth, so he sighed and said, "Our country has a long history. Things happen endlessly. When you were a child, you followed that old fairy for 16 years. If you say you haven’t learned his skills, who will believe it? Okay, I won’t force you if you don’t want to talk about it, so as not to let others know it’s shocking! It’s taken away by others As a guinea pig experiment, Ling'er can't come to settle accounts with us three old fellows!"

Mu Guoxing felt that the back of his shirt was wet and uncomfortable, and only then did he realize that he was sweating from the fright of Mr. Zhong just now.He also knew very well that Mr. Zhong would not believe his nonsense, otherwise Mr. Zhong would not say that he would learn the real skills from the old fairy grandpa.This matter is Mu Guoxing's bottom line. Apart from him and the old fairy grandfather, he will keep this secret in his heart forever until he takes it to the grave.

Hearing the knock on the door, Mr. Mu tapped lightly on the keyboard in front of him, and the huge electronic map disappeared immediately.Then Elder Mu said majestically, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and before the staff came in, Qi'er and Lin'er sneaked in first, and saluted Mr. Zhong and Mu Guoxing in a dignified way: "Report to the two chiefs, the dinner is ready , Mom invites you to go down for dinner!"

Elder Zhong stood up with a smile and took a step forward. Just as he was about to hug the two little guys, he heard the two brothers say together: "Grandpa, we are on a mission now, and you haven't returned the gift to us yet. I Mom has said that, in order to ensure your health, you will not be allowed to walk with us in the future!"

Elder Zhong laughed loudly, took a child by the hand, and walked downstairs with Mu Guoxing!

On the way back to Bibo Lake, Zhong Ling asked, "Honey, what have you been talking about with grandpa for the whole afternoon!"

"Hehe, our conversation today is highly confidential. Grandpa told me that no one can talk about it except me and him!"

Zhong Ling knew that Mu Guoxing was teasing her.Because she didn't tell Mu Guoxing who the person in charge of the ship and aircraft research institutes was, and she deliberately "revenged" her!

"Tch, you think I rarely know, I'm just asking casually, and my curiosity is not strong! Let your secrets rot in your stomach!"

When Qier and Liner heard what Zhong Ling said, they also interjected: "The two of us are not very curious, and we don't want to know! Grandpa told us that there are confidentiality regulations, and we must not know what we should not know! Let those Let the secret rot in Dad's belly!"

I don't know who the two brothers spoke first, and who followed suit.After hearing their childish talk, Mu Guoxing and Zhong Ling laughed together.

VIP Chapter [-] Opening Ceremony

The opening ceremony of Yenching University's in-service doctoral class was arranged in the conference room on the third floor of the school's administrative building, and the time was set at ten o'clock in the morning.The school leaders of Yenching University still attach great importance to the opening ceremony of this class.

This time, 84 students from all over the country signed up for the study.Among the 84 students, there are four senior officials at the vice-ministerial level, and the others are all cadres at the departmental level.

Although according to the school's relevant regulations, the school will not give any preferential treatment to students who come to participate in the study according to their positions, and they will all be treated equally, but that's just talking on the surface, and it's different in practice It's over.

The leaders of the school are also very clear that some of these students are now at the deputy ministerial level. Who knows if any of them will be able to reach a high position in the future? up.

Therefore, the school held a special meeting for this doctoral class to conduct research. After some debate, the school finally made a decision to be flexible on the basis of the original regulations.

The so-called flexible control means holding the opening ceremony with a high standard and entertaining these students after the ceremony. This is a precedent for Yenching University.

Mu Guoxing came to the school administration building within a few minutes. Just as he was about to go upstairs, he saw a person rushing out of an office and pretended to be full of love with him. If it wasn't for Mu Guoxing With agility, he grabbed that person, and it was really possible to make that person throw a big horse.

With a yell, a large stack of documents fell to the ground and flew everywhere.Then a soprano sounded, "What's the matter with you, why don't you look at Luna when you walk!"

Mu Guoxing saw that a young woman with a few freckles on her face was glaring at him with a flushed face.

"I'm really sorry," Mu Guoxing knelt down to collect the documents on the floor while apologizing.Instead of helping to pick it up, the woman yelled again: "I said, don't mess up these documents, okay, there is a meeting going on soon, so what are you waiting for?"

While picking it up, Mu Guoxing looked at it, and saw that these documents were nothing more than the speeches of some school leaders at the opening ceremony of the upcoming in-service graduate class, but each speech had been copied dozens of copies.Mu Guoxing understood that these speeches were to be distributed to every student.
