Chapter 561

After Pei Wencong listened to Li Ye's "persuasion," he soon had a pleasant conversation with Old Bu. The three of them talked back and forth, and finally, they preliminarily finalized the donation plan for two "Talent Buildings."

"I will have my secretary contact Mr. Bu. Goodbye, goodbye."

"Goodbye, goodbye. Thank you, Mr. Pei..."

Old Bu watched Pei Wencong leave until he was gone before letting out a long sigh.

Ni Dashen turned his head to look at him and asked, "What? They donated two buildings to you, and you are still sighing? Don't be ungrateful!"

Old Bu shook his head and said, "How could I still be ungrateful? When I came, I just thought, let's take a shot first, just in case they can help... Sigh."

Ni Dashen asked strangely, "Then what are you sighing about?"

Old Bu was silent for a few seconds and said worriedly, "I am sighing because young people today have begun to distrust us. If even our young people no longer trust us, how can we carry out our work in the future?"

"Are you talking about Li Ye?"

Ni Dashen was stunned for a moment and immediately said with some displeasure, "You say Li Ye doesn't trust you? How else do you want people to trust you?

Your project doesn't even have a start yet, and he helped persuade Mr. Pei to donate two buildings to you. I have known Li Ye for a while, and he is the most insightful young person I have ever seen..."

"I also think he is insightful!" Old Bu smiled bitterly and said, "But didn't you hear the special request that Li Ye just made?

Of the two donated buildings, one is an expert building and one is a talent building. The target for the talent building is not allowed to be over thirty years old. How deep must the misunderstanding of us be to propose this special restriction?"

"If it were me, I would also misunderstand," Ni Dashen turned his head away and said unpleasantly, "What good things are there in the unit, and how are they distributed? Can the young people who work hard get a turn?

If he didn't propose this restriction, do you believe that not a single young person would be able to get a new apartment?"

Ni Dashen knew the situation in some mainland units. Those silent technical men who only knew how to work hard would never be able to compete with those who relied on seniority and had flexible minds.

The consequences of doing this might not appear at the time; after all, people who work hard only hide their resentment in their hearts.

But when bad phenomena like passive sabotage or even resignation appear, it will be too difficult to save the situation.

"We must change people's misunderstanding of us," Old Bu exhaled and said with a firm look, "A student who hasn't even graduated has seen our long-standing drawbacks, but he is still willing to support us. Then why shouldn't we work hard and show something to the world?"

Ni Dashen nodded solemnly: "You are right. We must show something to the world, and show it to young people like Li Ye."

Ni Dashen and Colonel Bu were sighing here, and Pei Wencong was equally puzzled on the other side.

After leaving the post office, Pei Wencong asked Li Ye, "Mr. Li, do you have any understanding of Mr. Bu's research project?"

Li Ye asked in surprise, "You asked him twice and he didn't answer carefully, so how would I know?"

"Mr. Li, please don't misunderstand. I mean, if you think Mr. Bu's research has value, we can invest more. If it's just out of human sentiment, then..."

Pei Wencong stopped mid-sentence, looking at Li Ye with some embarrassment.

He was not sure about Li Ye's specific opinion on Colonel Bu's research project. If it was just out of human sentiment, he could just have his secretary throw some money at it later.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Old Pei, it seems you have encountered quite a few people 'begging for help' recently, right?"

"Indeed quite a few," Pei Wencong said frankly, "I have now specially arranged a secretary to deal with this kind of thing, because I really can't refuse,

but some people are really incredible. A few days ago, a scientific genius actually found me, saying that he had a major 'scientific research patent' that could turn water into oil, and asked me if I wanted to buy his patent..."

Pei Wencong said with a laugh, "If water could turn into oil, the Nobel Prize would be his, right? Although we have made a lot of money recently, we can't be cheated by these people."

Li Ye was surprised; he didn't expect Pei Wencong to encounter the famous "water into oil."

Injecting a few drops of the base liquid he developed into a basin of clear water, that basin of water can be converted into "water-based fuel" that can be used to drive cars. Do you dare to believe this stuff?

But this "technology" appeared starting in 1984, and during that period, it was rumored to be miraculous, even appearing in official newspapers and receiving official personnel.

The inventor of this black technology, Wang Hongcheng, had only attended four years of elementary school, raised pigs, and learned to be a carpenter. He had extraordinary experiences, was clever, and was daring. He demonstrated his technology in public on many occasions, and many news media reported extensively on his invention.

The highest realm of a swindler is to cheat oneself. This gentleman later played bigger and bigger, cheated the national scientific research funds, "cooperatively developed" with enterprises all over the country, and then was poked through like a balloon that had been blown up.

And when it was poked through, it was already 1993.

And the fact that this kind of thing appeared in front of an elite like Pei Wencong, who had received orthodox higher education, undoubtedly had a strong negative effect on the mainland's image, to the point that he even doubted Colonel Bu's research project.

Li Ye waved his hand very seriously and said, "Old Pei! How can you compare that kind of swindler with Colonel Bu? Even if you met Colonel Bu for the first time, can't you trust Ni Guangnan?"

"I certainly trust Mr. Ni," Pei Wencong thought for a while and said, "Then should I increase the donation? I feel that Colonel Bu is a bit anxious."

Li Ye was silent for a few seconds and nodded: "He is indeed a bit anxious, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed."

Just at the beginning of this year, when Colonel Bu went to the Lighthouse to attend the GPS global navigation seminar, the Lighthouse side clearly stated at the meeting that under special circumstances, they would take three measures against GPS—reducing accuracy, closing regions, or even changing communication codes.

This is clearly being controlled by others. It would be fine if it were a small family, but as a dignified and vast country, how can it look at others' faces?

So after Colonel Bu came back, he visited Academician Chen of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to discuss developing his own satellite positioning system.

When Academician Chen was studying abroad, she had designed the world's first marine radar. After returning to the country, she participated in the research and development of the first satellite. In the seventies, she proposed the "Lighthouse" plan for satellite positioning, but due to national strength, it had to be shelved.

After Colonel Bu found her, Academician Chen designed a "two-star positioning" scheme, but due to the national strength of the eighties, it was shelved again, to the point that Academician Chen had to write the poem, "The road of life must be winding, but I must still establish my ambition."

The mainland's Beidou system construction was truly started after the "Galaxy" incident.

Li Ye pondered that even if he was just a small butterfly and could only flap a little bit of wind, he should still flap his wings hard.

At least with the name of these two buildings, it should be easier to get the project approved, right? Even if it could allow this world-class project to start theoretical research a few years in advance, it would be good!

Of course, if you build a good relationship today, there will definitely be a return in the future. When the mobile phones of Pengcheng Fengyu are launched in the future, can we also give some satellite text messages?

Can other high-tech research projects also cooperate?

Just as Li Ye said, the mainland is not lacking in research talent. As long as the environment and treatment are in place, it is not a problem to create a few high-tech giant companies.
