Chapter 694 History of the Development of Human Science and Technology

The diplomatic system has never been a purely external organization. Local external exchanges also need to control the rhythm. If you know nothing about local activities, it can only mean that there is a problem in a certain link, which means that you have never looked at the people below or your own people.

The current "Frontier Science and Technology Event" in Jiankang, the capital of Liangjiang Province, was not even noticed by the diplomatic office in Songjiang before. It can be seen that the steak and red wine are indeed a bit fascinating.

It's embarrassing.

In these few days, until the 24th, 25th, and 26th, the entire diplomatic system has been keeping a low profile as much as possible, because this kind of work mistake is too funny and exaggerated.

It's the same with or without them, so are most of the members of this department dispensable?

When they arrived in Jiankang, the people from the State Council did not look for Zhang Haonan, because this matter had nothing to do with Zhang Haonan. He just wanted to graduate from university. What did he do wrong?

The provincial government compound was actually not wrong. They were just doing some normal foreign exchange work, and then they worked together with the Jiankang Municipal Government, Jiankang University Circle, and Songjiang University Circle. It was originally a large-scale celebration event. The academicians and prospective academicians who said they would come had all been reported.

There were no loopholes in the work. Even because it involved foreign affairs, the consulates of various countries in Songjiang also had records of letters from Liangjiang Province.

The major universities were even more wrong. I even used my dormitories to entertain people. How could I be wrong?

It was quite terrifying, so I could only continue to reduce my influence.

The most wronged among them was Jinghua University.

I just provided a place, damn...

Wu Taian knew that the number of people who wanted Boss Zhang to die had probably increased by nearly two hundred in one go.

Why?

"Just keep a low profile. Work is so difficult now. As a pillar of the country and a contributor to several major decisions, you should give your comrades some face and stop doing this... How bad is the impact?"

"No, what does this have to do with me? I think the fun will only last for two or three days. I didn't do anything before. Besides, the capital didn't just know about these old foreigners coming today. It was reported last month. And that office in Songjiang even replied that it was known. So you blame me?"

"Am I blaming you? I mean, give people some face, just a little. You are now in broad daylight, which is equivalent to stripping their pants in the street. Is this appropriate?"

"Hehehehehehe..."

Boss Zhang suddenly laughed abnormally. The old man waiting for retirement in the State Council was speechless. He pointed his finger and had nothing to say.

If he bumped into the fun in Boss Zhang's hand, how could he not play with it?

Besides, the Cai family's matter has not been settled yet, and the diplomatic people didn't say to give him some high-end cosmetics or branded bags.

It can be seen that he still has a problem with Boss Zhang.

But since he came here to clean up the mess today, he was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Zhang Haonan. They went to Runzhou next door to eat a bowl of "pot cover noodles", made some crystal braised pork, and took a look at some infrastructure construction sites along the river.

That was the end.

Liangjiang Province also had local TV stations in Jiankang, Guangling, Runzhou, and Xiangtai to broadcast some pictures. Boss Zhang's style was quite like the top contractor in the village, and the mayors of various places with him seemed to be here to discuss the contract.

But because of Zhang Haonan, he still looked a bit rural in the camera, just like an old village head or something.

Those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black. If you stand together, you will be polluted.

Because they are anchored in cutting-edge technology, they are all relatively developed provinces and cities, or universities with relatively flexible scientific research funds.

Among them, Songjiang University Circle and Jiankang University Circle are the most powerful, and their ability to raise funds from the society is the highest in the country.

At the same time, Liangjiang Province has a far-leading postdoctoral station, so it has activated a large number of scholars who are willing to take root.

The model project that Zhang Haonan focuses on is the Biological Center of Jiankang University, which was copied from Jiankang Agricultural University, and Jiankang Agricultural University inherited this important "legacy" in less than a year.

Therefore, scholars who know about this matter are all planning to rely on "biotechnology" at the first time. It is not known how many biological companies can be incubated, but the funds are very abundant anyway.

For the old lady Lin Shengnan, Boss Zhang packaged a lot of high-quality assets on it, including the research and development funds of "Sha Beer", and set up a postdoctoral station in "Sha Beer".

The old foreign devils don't understand anything else, but they can see the good funding situation.

What is "Sha Beer"?

"Sha Beer" is an inexhaustible "golden town"!

As for when to add "basic research", it takes time, requires the establishment of relevant project committees, requires the coordination of national scientific research units, and needs to go through the process.

It is normal to take a year or two. After all, research at this level does not only cost money, but also costs a lot of money.

The money is spent in billions, and millions may be gone in the time of farting.

Therefore, even in the top university circles on both sides of the Atlantic, it is not enough to rely solely on the sponsorship of rich alumni. There must be commissioned research projects like the American Department of Defense.

This is also the reason why it takes so long to go through the process. If you want to open the budget and convince the "masters" at each conference, you really have to keep explaining this thing "Although it is useless now, and I can't guarantee that it will be useful in the future, please give me research funds, please."

Looking around the world, the only big money sponsor who never frowns when spending money, apart from old Rockefeller who is very diligent in replacing his heart, is probably "Siegel".

Old Rockefeller is trying to prolong his life, what about Zhang Haonan?

In addition to the bragging of the "Trump Group" in the capital market of the East Coast of America, and the unanimous praise of the academicians of the American Academy of Engineering, "Siegel" also has the reputation of "the god who controls wealth" in the small circle.

Of course, in another small circle with a little overlap, he has the nickname "the devil who controls wealth".

For example, the Hilton family will mention "that devil" when participating in the "casino show" of some golden-haired old men in Las Vegas.

When someone asks which devil it is.

The people of the Hilton family will raise their glasses and smile: the devil who controls wealth.

There is no way, the "Trump Group" has now ushered in a new wealth growth point, and the income from the hotel industry and mobile communication terminal business is quite good.

And signed a two-year contract with the telecommunications departments of many countries in Latin America. The continuous profits will be a small climax in the third and fourth quarters of this year.

The "Trump Hotel Group" owned by the "Trump Group" is eroding the ordinary chain hotel business under the name of the Hilton family. Although there is no conflict in the high-end hotel business, the "overseas medical service" project carried out by the "Trump Group" in the hotel vacation business is really a sudden rise.

The capital market on the East Coast is rumored that the "Trump Group" is going to open up a new international insurance business. It is not known when it will be launched, but it is certain.

In fact, there is no conflict between Hilton and the Trump family. It is purely the business expansion of the "Trump Group" in China, which objectively greatly reduces the relevant business costs of the "Trump Group".

And in terms of time, Hilton Hotels entered China earlier, developed business in China more maturely, and had deeper connections in the political and business circles.

Unlike the "Trump Group", the main connections are reversed, and it is closer to the academic community, which seems very strange.

Therefore, the lobbying and roadshow of the "Trump Group" on the East Coast was originally intended to raise money by listing a new company, but it has a considerable influence in the academic and industrial academic circles.

The alma mater of the golden-haired old man usually does not take advantage of the name of "Wharton School of Business", but this time, for research funds, it also chased "Siegel".

You know, the research and development expenditure of the University of Pennsylvania did not increase significantly last year, and the expenditure on key scientific research projects was only 70 million US dollars.

Of course, the overall funds are still sufficient, but the desire to increase research and development expenditure has increased the threshold difficulty for secondary colleges.

Therefore, some Nobel Prize-level academic tycoons want to do some "repetitive research", of course not in North America or Western Europe, but in developing countries.

Among them, the Moore School of Electronic Engineering heard that Liangjiang Province was going to build a data center, and also heard that Liangjiang Province had a "Golden Bridge Computer", so it lobbied some scholars through various channels, formed a group to explore the way first, and try its luck.

This is why there are not many people in the field of theoretical physics at this "research event" in Jiankang. Except for the academicians of the "Pontifical Academy of Sciences and Engineering" who chat casually, the rest of the people who study the essence of the world are all application-oriented.

Even "biotechnology" is the same. Even if the proportion of basic research is particularly large, it is not all, and there is still content of technology transformation.

These are all money.

Circles are within circles, spanning the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, from traditional industrial capital to university alumni, from university alumni to academic factions, and from academic factions to cross-border exchanges in related fields. There are too many barriers, which has led to the collective loss of function of the diplomatic work.

Not everyone will admit it.

Like the alumni of the golden-haired old man, the high-quality paper contribution index of the University of Pennsylvania is a key assessment indicator. The KPI of private universities has never been simple. In terms of internal circulation, China is still just catching up. Who is not a cow or a horse in a serious academic institution?

So, funding, funding, funding, and funding!

Whether "Siegel" is a demon or a god, it doesn't matter.

As long as our school is among the top 20 in the annual report of Nature magazine, it will be enough, and a year of hard work will be worth it.

The rest is not worth mentioning.

"... The Chinese nation is facing the best development opportunity in history."

At the discussion meeting on the establishment of the scientific research foundation, the vice premier said some polite words, and the people in the diplomatic department finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled like chrysanthemums.

Boss Zhang didn't plan to invite them at all, but for the sake of the old comrades, the provincial government compound also thought that they should not always pull people's pants, so they arranged a few stools.

"...The competition in scientific development is ultimately a competition for talent. Only a nation with the latest scientific knowledge, scientific thinking and innovation can keep up with the trend of world development..."

The leader on the stage was talking, and Boss Zhang was sitting with his legs crossed and chatting with the bald old man. Wei Gang was peeling pine nuts and said, "You, Zong Sang, don't plan to go abroad after the end of the dynasty? It's not necessarily a good thing to embarrass people in the diplomatic unit."

"Last time I wanted to take a boat to secretly go to the Japanese, but was stopped by the navy."

"..."

The bald old man turned his head in astonishment, opened his mouth, and wanted to curse, but finally laughed and nodded repeatedly, "Your coffin is old eggs, how can the navy not blow up such a short-lived thing?"

"It's hard to go abroad in the future. It seems that you can go abroad freely only after you become famous."

"..."

Reputation is indeed a good thing.

If you are known to the world, it is safe for you to wander around.

Of course, it is only relatively safe.

"...China will continue to implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, give strong support to the research of cutting-edge science, and take the training, attraction and use of talents as a strategic task. I believe that Chinese scientists will work hard to learn the world's advanced science and technology, and will be able to fight shoulder to shoulder with scientists from all over the world. In the process of climbing the peak of science, they will continue to make discoveries and innovations..."

The speech on the stage continued. In order to save face for the diplomatic mouth, the old comrade who was old was really a skilled worker.

Zhang Haonan sighed, "It's really not easy."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Diplomatic work is also a top priority, and someone still has to do it."

The bald old man suddenly said, "The key is that I think there are problems with domestic social science and liberal arts education, at least there are big problems in high school. For example, Shacheng is not a big city, but it is relatively not too poor or backward. However, in the stage of arts and science division, taking the best No. 1 Middle School as an example, the liberal arts is a part of the students with weaker competitiveness. This is very unreasonable. And big cities should be balanced, but the results guided by the family environment are all the same, which is difficult to deal with."

"On your balls? This kind of thing is not what we want to consider. Don't forget how many stinky socks you were stuffed with when you farted on "quality education" in the past two years."

"..."

In fact, neither of them paid much attention to these things, and they didn't have the ability.

The scope involved is too large, it's completely a "chaos", and neither of them can see any clues, or in other words, there is no clue at all.

Perhaps we should start from the historical account of China's "poverty and weakness", and the subsequent historical inertia cannot be settled by one or two Jiangnan dogs.

Historical inertia is like a wave or a torrent, in which this old man and this young man... are nothing.

"... I hope that all scientists will continue to actively participate in the development of China's science and education in various ways, and continue to contribute to promoting friendship and cooperation among peoples of all countries in the world..."

Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa...

Boss Zhang and the bald old man both responded to the applause of the whole audience and took a lot of photos.

After the photo shoot, this tentatively named "Yangtze River Frontier Science and Technology Development Foundation", even if there is a founding outline, all scientists, regardless of whether they are Nobel Prize-level or quasi-Nobel Prize-level, have said that this is a model of international cooperation, a new chapter in the development of science and technology, and a new model of coordinated development in the world...

Ask how much this model is worth?

Tentatively set at 700 million... US dollars.

"Shacheng Peace Organization" is the first time to appear at "Guo (Jian) ​​International (Kang)".

Scientists from various countries sent short messages and emails to their disciples, which were all very concise: People here are stupid and have a lot of money, come quickly! ! ! !

Some of the academic tycoons are not short of money, but it is possible that a "favorite disciple" is short of money. At this time, the project must be launched.

It is not a problem to register under the name of Jiankang University, Liangjiang University of Technology, Songjiang Jiaotong University, etc., and even some universities with not enough level, such as Jiankang Agricultural University, can directly add a secondary college.

You can be the dean, you can be the director of the research center...

Everything can be discussed.

For example, Welsman is a theoretical physicist. He originally did not plan to come to Jiankang, but his favorite disciple Gerardus Hoft is a professor of physics at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, and Utrecht University also happened to have a "repetitive research" project in medicine that was shelved.

There is no hope in the Netherlands, but if it can go to some developing countries in the East through some channels to bypass the technology embargo, the project can still be restarted.

Although most of them are definitely "repetitive research", as long as there is a part, even if it is only one percent of new results, it is worth a try.

So, Welshman came even though he didn't need to come.

Did he smile and applaud because he affirmed that "scientists from all over the world work side by side, and in the process of climbing the peak of science, they continue to make discoveries and innovations"?

He has heard enough similar words in his life.

In the history of human scientific and technological development, he has planted a flag and has no regrets.

The rest is nothing more than "making some fries" for his disciples.

Oriental fries are also delicious.
