Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

"An expert in chip research?"

The big boss looked at Wang Jianjun with some curiosity, not knowing why he asked that.

"Yes, of course, not just experts in chips. I also need talents in mechanical, energy, and material fields."

"Xiao Wang, can I ask, as a buyer, what do you need these people for?"

Wang Jianjun glanced at Old Man Chen and said:

"Boss, only Uncle Chen and I knew about this. But I think if it were you, I would be willing to believe it. You also know that I married a daughter of a capitalist before."

The big leader nodded. He knew something when Old Man Chen asked him for help before. His own position did not have much political discrimination against those capitalists.

"To be honest, my daughter-in-law ran away to Hong Kong. She has relatives in Hong Kong, and now she is living with them."

"Oh, Xiangjiang? It is indeed safer to go there now. But what does this have to do with you wanting these people?"

"Boss, my wife and her relatives are planning to invest in building an electronics factory in Hong Kong. They are in urgent need of talent in this field. I was thinking that there are many experts in this field in China who have been defeated. Instead of letting them sweep the floor, it is better to let them go to Hong Kong to do research, which can also avoid wasting talent."

In fact, Wang Jianjun had been thinking about making chips a few years ago.

The sooner you plan this thing, the better.

Climbing the technology tree requires time, talent and money.

He is not in a hurry and he has sufficient funds now.

What is urgently needed at the moment is talent.

This kind of thing can only be entrusted to professionals.

Wang Jianjun also tried to poach talent from other countries, but this approach simply didn't work.

Finally, he set his sights on domestic affairs.

Wang Jianjun knew that there was a slogan in this era: the more knowledge you have, the more you gain.

Almost all professors and scientists who had achieved some success in colleges and universities were brought down.

Then they were sent to dig out manure, sweep the streets, reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land.

Many of these people have returned from studying abroad and want to serve their country.

Who could have thought it would end up like this.

So instead of letting these people waste their knowledge, it is better to pack them up and send them to Hong Kong to help research and produce chips.

The big boss looked at him with a strange expression after hearing this.

That expression was as if he was looking at a whimsical fool.

"Xiao Wang, I'm not trying to discourage you. Although I don't really understand high-tech things like chips, I also know that they are very expensive and time-consuming. Our country has also invested a lot of time and money in this area, but there is still a big gap between us and foreign countries."

The leader's words were not meant to pour cold water on Wang Jianjun.

China actually started researching chips in the 1950s.

However, due to technological blockade, development has not been smooth in recent years.

The whole process can be said to be full of bumps, stops and starts, and full of thorns.

Coupled with the human sabotage in recent years, research on chips has been directly interrupted.

The latest domestic achievement is the 65 contact lithography machine.

The accuracy was only at the micron level, which was not even on the same level as the nanometer level of later generations.

Wang Jianjun knew that it was a bit unrealistic to manufacture chips now.

He didn't think about doing it all in one go.

Fortunately, it is only 69 years now, and other countries are not much ahead in research in this area.

Wang Jianjun was not in a hurry. He believed that he could take his time with this matter and that he believed that success would come one day.

And he has the space to help, which can save a lot of time and money.

"Boss, I know this is not easy. But I still want to try. Some things may not succeed even if you do them, but if you don't do them, you will definitely not succeed."

When the leader heard what Wang Jianjun said, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter.

"Young people are to be feared. I am old now and I am afraid to act.

Since you have such ambition, I won't persuade you. But I can't guarantee that it will be done. Besides, if those people don't want to go to Hong Kong with you, you can't force them. "

"Don't worry, sir. As long as they are willing to go, I will provide them with the best conditions in all aspects."

Wang Jianjun thought that as long as he offered enough conditions, those people would be willing to go with him.

After all, feelings can’t be eaten.

"One more thing, if one day you really have some research results on chips, I hope you will not forget your motherland."

Although the senior leader told Wang Jianjun that he did not have high expectations for chip development.

What he thought more about was settling those valuable talents.

Many of those people gave up the favorable conditions abroad and returned to build the country.

He didn't want to disappoint those people.

Even though Hong Kong is capitalist, it is still China's territory.

After the movement is over, I can welcome those people back.

Of course, it would be best if Wang Jianjun could really succeed.

The big boss then asked some more questions about the situation in Hong Kong. In order not to reveal the secret, Wang Jianjun only said that his wife would occasionally contact him by asking someone to send letters from Hong Kong.

After understanding some of the circumstances, the leader felt relieved and said that he would try to get more people over there.

Wang Jianjun didn't ask the boss what method he used to rescue the people.

He heard from Old Man Chen that big leaders have extensive networks and strong connections.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to invite such an important person.

After the three of them chatted for a while, the boss's wife invited them to have dinner first.

Finally, Wang Jianjun didn’t cook this meal.

It seems that he is afraid that he will never be able to eat Sha Zhu's cooking again after going to the South.

So the boss’s wife specifically asked Sha Zhu to teach her how to cook some home-cooked dishes.

The big boss didn't want people to know that Wang Jianjun was involved in this matter, so he didn't invite Sha Zhu to cook this time.

Even with the personal instruction of the chef Sha Zhu, the dishes cooked by the boss's wife can only be described as just okay.

But Wang Jianjun didn't care, because the leader's wife cooked for him herself.

How can I be picky?

During the meal, Wang Jianjun also asked about Director Yang.

The big boss said that Director Yang would go to the south with him and would bring him back after the movement was over.

Wang Jianjun thought to himself that he was Director Yang's benefactor this time.

For example, Sha Zhu brought him meals a few times, and Director Yang later appointed him as the canteen director.

With such a great favor from me, I'm afraid I'll have to get the position of deputy factory director.
