Chapter 559 Those who aspire to great things do not care about petty gains!
"The world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit!"
Ren Hongguang continued speaking at length, before he had even finished.
Having lived two lives, Zhao Ruilong already understood the situation perfectly.
Why is it that when I had a very clear conversation with Dean Wen face to face back then, and even submitted a detailed solution afterwards, Ren Hongguang is now complaining and making trouble in front of me?
Under its strong guidance and promotion, China's electronic information industry has already ranked among the top, and there are no technical difficulties in promoting the informatization of various industries.
In order to improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and reduce accidents, all industries need network informatization. Even in fields such as online payment and e-commerce, the premise of development is network informatization itself.
With the necessary technology and market demand, what problems remain?
Behind all the complaining and whining is nothing more than the desire to bargain.
After all, whoever takes the lead has the right to a share of the pie!
Take the ETC system, which improves traffic efficiency, reduces queuing congestion, and lowers transportation costs, as an example.
From the formulation of ETC system standards to the production and sales of equipment, from the establishment of a nationwide network mechanism to the construction of a multi-party collaborative service platform... this is a massive and systematic project!
Whoever holds the dominant position will get the most lucrative share, right?
Putting aside other issues, the formulation of national standards for ETC devices can be subject to certain biases.
A certain manufacturer possesses unique technical expertise in certain areas that other manufacturers lack, and has applied for relevant patents early on.
Once the technical standard proposed by this manufacturer becomes a national standard, what can be done if other manufacturers find it difficult to meet the standard requirements using other technical means in a short period of time?
Of course, the most efficient way is to spend money to find the manufacturer and purchase the relevant technology patent license, or simply buy the existing solution directly.
The price and profit of an ETC device are not very high, but the problem is that in China, where the economy is developing rapidly, there may be hundreds of millions of vehicles with ETC installed.
Even if the profit is only a few dollars per unit, multiplied by 100 million, that's still hundreds of millions in profit.
And this... is only the in-vehicle equipment.
If we include the ETC lanes that need to be upgraded at every toll station on the highway, and the ETC gantries that need to be installed at intervals along the road, the scale of the output value becomes even larger.
China's current highway network is only over 30,000 kilometers long, but according to the development plan, at least 10,000 kilometers will be completed and opened to traffic every year in the future, and it is expected to exceed 100,000 kilometers by 2010.
With car sales and highway mileage constantly increasing, the ETC system, which allows for quick entry and exit without stopping and offers discounts, will undoubtedly be accepted by more and more car owners in the future.
Some people clearly see the immense potential for future development in the ETC market.
Similarly, the BeiDou monitoring system, online payment, online shopping...
For these new things and new business models to develop, they must have policy and regulatory support.
So whoever sets the rules naturally holds the dominant position!
and so……
Zhao Ruilong didn't need to listen carefully; he could hear Ren Hongguang, who was being used as a pawn, talking non-stop.
All they do is emphasize various difficulties and demands; it's nothing more than "exorbitant demands" in a power struggle.
Zhao Ruilong was very understanding of this.
Behind every powerful figure's rise to prominence, there are forces backing and supporting them.
Even the political figures on the stage represent the interests and demands of certain forces.
Without a solid base of support, it's impossible to rise to power.
Just like my father, Zhao Lichun...
One of the main reasons he was able to rise through the ranks in Handong was his bold and radical reforms, which made many people wealthy.
In an era where everyone is striving to develop the economy, he, who is capable of developing the economy and creating wealth for the region, naturally surpasses the conservative Liang Qunfeng and thus becomes the top leader of Handong.
As for leaving Handong and taking another step...
What is the foundation upon which Zhao Lichun, the father, relies?
Of course, it refers to the numerous enterprises and institutions that have benefited from Huilong Group's massive investments in recent years, including industrial upgrading, technological innovation, and major infrastructure projects. My father has become the de facto spokesperson for everyone's interests.
After his father took office, in addition to intensifying the fight against corruption, he also launched a comprehensive crackdown on organized crime. One of his goals was to break down the power and capital structures in many places, improve the business environment, and thus enable high technology to develop rapidly.
The most typical example is the recent case of Qinghai Province.
If we want to develop and utilize the abundant local natural resources, build a new energy base, and create a power transmission channel from west to east, then we must deal with the local troublemakers and make an example of them.
Just as a building needs a foundation, a major investment must first improve the business environment.
Also.
Vigorously promote the use of second-generation ID cards, advance the real-name registration system for the internet, and accelerate the construction of an information-based policing system...
These measures have significantly improved the level of social governance, which is conducive to high-quality social development, and has also created wealth for many high-tech enterprises and institutions related to Huilong Group.
Putting aside other things, the large-scale construction of the Skynet system in various provinces and cities, the installation of surveillance cameras in key areas and road sections, and all these projects, big and small, cost a lot of money.
With the continuous improvement of technological strength, and with the increasing number and influence of technology companies associated with Huilong Group, there is a natural need for more industries to upgrade and transform.
But as their father's base grew larger and larger, and the technology companies associated with the Zhao family became more and more profitable and powerful, certain individuals and the forces behind them naturally could not stand idly by.
Some people want to advance, some want to get rich, and some want to consolidate their power, so it's impossible not to take care of the core supporters.
Therefore, matters that are not technologically advanced but involve significant interests cannot be left to the 'Zhao family' to decide.
Just like high-speed rail, airplanes, chips, satellites, new energy vehicles...
These are tech industries with very high technical and investment barriers; they don't have the resources to make a fuss about them. Instead, by actively cooperating, they can actually get a share of the profits.
But what's so difficult about setting up an ETC system or something like that?
China's technological and industrial strength is now vastly different from what it used to be. As long as you have power, you don't need capital to acquire funds, materials, technology, and talent, and then you can win bids for projects.
Just like manufacturing computers, LCD monitors, high-definition projectors, etc., which is beyond the capabilities of many people, buying hardware equipment, hiring some programmers to develop software, and finally creating various management systems, training systems, etc., and selling them to certain organizations at high prices is naturally easy for some people.
Regarding these power struggles and conflicts...
Zhao Ruilong was not angry or annoyed; on the contrary, he felt that competition was normal.
It would be strange if you took the lead in everything.
As for how to negotiate?
In fact, Zhao Ruilong didn't care at all.
My core goal is to defy fate and change my destiny, not to make money and profit.
If the sole purpose was to make money, one wouldn't go to the trouble of investing so much money in so many high-tech projects.
Why bother with high-speed rail, large aircraft, new energy, biopharmaceuticals, and so on? These require huge investments and have long payback periods.
In particular, investments in developing high-speed trains, building passenger dedicated lines, and researching and testing domestically produced large aircraft often involve hundreds of billions of yuan, and it may take many years to recoup the investment.
With a steady stream of money brought in from abroad, you can diversify your investments in real estate, land, gold, stocks, and so on, easily reaping the benefits of rapid economic development. Isn't that appealing?
Even if you don't invest anything, just deposit the hundreds of billions of US dollars that you've gradually acquired from abroad into banks and earn enough interest to support several generations, why bother spending money and effort to promote China's technological development and industrial upgrading?
therefore.
As long as Dean Wen and his team can push for the implementation of relevant policies as soon as possible and bring about the wave of information technology, Zhao Ruilong doesn't mind if someone tries to profit from the situation.
In the past, we invested in the research and development of so many high-tech products and the construction of so many major infrastructure projects. Didn't we make enough money for many universities, research institutions and central and state-owned enterprises?
In order to speed up the project, he often took the initiative to make concessions so that other people and units would do their best for their own benefit. For example, the Railway Administration did not contribute much money, but it acquired a lot of shares.
What he wanted was to increase his strength and expand his base so that he could change his fate. He didn't care about fame or fortune. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Ding Lehui replace him as chairman of Huilong Group after Du Bozhong's incident.
Just like the celebration party held tonight after the successful maiden flight of China's domestically produced large passenger aircraft.
The one who should be on stage to deliver a speech on behalf of Huilong Group, enjoying the spotlight and thunderous applause, is Chairman Ding Lehui, not myself.
Moreover, if I really cared about money, I wouldn't have let Ding Lehui announce later that, to celebrate the successful maiden flight of the domestically produced large aircraft, all researchers would be rewarded with 10,000 yuan each.
If each person is rewarded with 10,000 yuan, that's equivalent to several hundred million yuan disappearing!
If he cared about money, why would he be so extravagant in motivating researchers?
Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trivial matters, so why would they care about petty gains?
So after Ren Hongguang finished speaking, Zhao Ruilong smiled calmly and said:
"Dean Wen is right. Any technological progress must be people-oriented and focus on practical results."
"If you organize more relevant organizations and experts and scholars later, we will study this carefully and thoroughly, and we will definitely be able to find a practical solution!"
Hearing Zhao Ruilong say this, Ren Hongguang naturally smiled with relief.
Organizing more people to participate in the discussion is tantamount to agreeing to let more people participate in sharing the pie, isn't it?
With Zhao Ruilong being so magnanimous, what more needs to be said?
At this moment.
Music began to play on stage.
"In my heart, there once was a dream..."
Several researchers from COMAC (Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China) kicked off the banquet with a simple yet powerful song.
When Ding Lehui, representing Huilong Group, took the stage to announce a reward of 10,000 yuan to each of the researchers who participated in the development of the large aircraft, the dinner party became even more exciting.
Many people know that Huilong Group is wealthy and powerful, and that Huilong Group values and treats its talents exceptionally well, but no one expected that it would reward its talents so generously.
Ten thousand yuan!
What concept?
In 2003, in China, let alone the central and western regions, even those working in coastal cities like Guangdong and Guangxi generally earned only around 1,000 yuan a month.
Ten thousand yuan is basically equivalent to the annual salary of countless ordinary workers!
And this is just the reward that Huilong Group gave to the scientific and technical personnel who participated in the research and development and testing after the successful maiden flight of the domestically produced large aircraft!
Normally, after deducting social insurance and housing fund contributions, their monthly take-home pay ranges from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan, with additional performance bonuses for completing tasks.
The salary and benefits were already enviable enough, but the successful maiden flight earned them a huge bonus of 10,000 yuan!
This naturally made many people present extremely envious, wishing they could also have the ability to participate in the development of large aircraft.
And this is exactly the effect Zhao Ruilong wanted!
It made the winners cheer with joy and the onlookers envious and jealous.
This celebration gala helped countless people realize that reading is not useless and that knowledge can truly change one's destiny.
This also lets all enterprises and institutions in the technology industry know that only by treating talent well can everyone be highly motivated.
