Chapter 988: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand!
That afternoon.
Accompanied by his family, Bashir left the hospital by car and arrived at Moscow International Airport. He boarded Yang Ming's private plane and flew directly from Moscow to Hong Kong.
At this time, a large private hospital in Hong Kong was already prepared at Kai Tak Airport.
All this was very shocking news in Moscow and even to Su Lian.
Why would the chairman of the Empire Group help a strange old man Su Lian in that way?
No one understood.
However, Brooke and Yuri Rogachev might have guessed something.
Even so, in the eyes of the two, they were happy for their old friend Bashir. If it weren't for Sir Yang's help, Bashir would have really died in the hospital without anyone knowing.
Now, because of Sir Yang's help, Bashir is likely to survive.
Yang Ming looked out the window at the villa.
Huo Jianning reported the matter in detail to Yang Ming behind him.
At that time, Huo Jianning and Gore mentioned that they wanted to send a Su Lian patient to Hong Kong for treatment. Gore thought Bashir was a certain kind of person. Unexpectedly, after someone investigated, he found that he was just a retired farm elder.
Gore agreed directly.
"Jian Ning, he is a talent and deserves our attention. Even though he is old now, he is still very meaningful to us."
Talent is very, very important.
In the early 20th century, the world's technological highland was not in America but in Europe, and the leader was the country D at that time.
With the achievements of the early industrial revolution, country D not only became a powerful country in the development of science and technology at that time, but also had a very strong development momentum.
However, science and technology sometimes produce unexpected "counteractions", which was particularly evident in country D before World War II.
The technological level of country D also directly promoted the development of the military industry, but also greatly stimulated the ambition of country D's military expansion.
The reason why country D was able to "sweep" most of Europe during World War II was that technological factors played a vital role.
At that time, country D's Gustav railway gun, Go-229 bomber and V9 series long-range missiles, which were the most advanced military products at that time, greatly helped country D gain strategic advantages in World War II.
If Einstein had not gone to the United States with his family in 1933, the United States would have been the first country in the world to produce round bullets.
Regarding the technological level of the United States, nearly 60% of the Nobel Prize winners in 1938 were won by people from the United States.
From today's perspective, the technological level of the United States at that time was equivalent to that of the United States today.
At that time, both the United States and the Soviet Union coveted this group of top scientific and technological talents from the United States. Before the end of World War II, the United States specially formulated a "talent grabbing" plan called "Operation Paperclip".
The United States also compiled a list of 1,500 people, among which von Braun, the father of the missile of the United States, was undoubtedly the person that the United States wanted most.
Von Braun once designed the famous V-2 rocket for the United States, which was also the earliest ballistic missile put into actual combat in the world.
The 44th Infantry Division of the 1st Army found von Braun and his design team in Bavaria.
It is said that when the American soldiers appeared in front of him, von Braun said: "You found me just to get this technology (V-2 rocket)?"
The American people did not hesitate to take him back to America with his design team.
Although America only found 700 people on the "Paperclip Project" list, these scientists did play a great role in promoting the development of American science and technology.
As for von Braun alone, he joined NASA soon after arriving in America. The Saturn V launch vehicle he designed played an important role in the first human landing on the moon, and he also became one of the pioneers of the 20th century's aerospace industry.
Historically, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, the "giant" that competed with America collapsed.
But even so, the large number of talents accumulated by the Soviet Union during its glorious period and when it was engaged in space and arms race with America are still distributed in 15 countries.
These talent resources that should have become an indispensable driving force for the development of their respective countries, many people cannot even guarantee their basic lives.
Among them are engineers, scientists, artists, etc. Some of these people who enjoyed high social status and high income in the Soviet era had to make ends meet by selling goods.
When knowledge was not respected and the dignity they deserved was not guaranteed, Europe and the United States began to extend olive branches to them, and many people chose to leave their country.
As early as the 1980s, the first wave of immigration from the Soviet Union had already appeared.
According to relevant data records, from 1987 to 1991, nearly 800,000 Soviets immigrated to the United States, among which there were as many as 700 famous scientists, and other senior talents accounted for nearly 20%.
Someone has calculated that in the 1990s, the cost of training an engineer in Europe and the United States alone was 3 million US dollars, while scientists needed 12 million US dollars.
This set of data may not be accurate, but it can also illustrate the difficulty and high cost of training talents, especially high-end talents.
From 1991 to 1995, nearly 800,000 former Soviets immigrated to the United States.
For countries like Goose and Russia, this second wave of immigration has resulted in the loss of not only talents in various fields but also the huge amount of money invested in cultivating talents.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the economies of the Commonwealth of Independent States were in serious recession, which gave developed countries led by the United States an opportunity to absorb talents from the former Soviet Union at a very low cost.
At that time, it only cost a few thousand dollars a month to absorb an engineer from the Commonwealth of Independent States.
The "bad consequences" brought about by the loss of talent may not be obvious in the short term, but the "results" are easy to show.
At this time, it was already 1985.
After Gore came to power.
Yang Ming had noticed that all aspects of the Soviet Union began to decline.
When Europe and the United States had not yet begun to target the talents of the Soviet Union, it was the best opportunity for the Empire Group to start.
At this time, for Yang Ming, he needed these talents too much.
Now there are more than five million people in Hong Kong, and there are not many real scientific and technological talents. Moreover, many of the talents in Hong Kong are almost in the financial field.
If Yang Ming had not been introducing semiconductor talents over the years, Hong Kong would almost be a talent desert in this regard.
On the contrary, Yang Ming's three universities.
Including Oriental University, Oriental Polytechnic University, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. In addition, there is Yang Ming's Hong Kong Science City in Hong Kong. According to Yang Ming's plan, it can accommodate millions of people. In other words, these places are exactly where talents are most needed.
When Europe and the United States have not yet set their sights on those Soviet and even Eastern European talents, Yang Ming knows that it is most advantageous to strike first.
If the Soviet Union disintegrates, it will be difficult for Hong Kong or the Empire Group to absorb that batch of Soviet talents.
There is another difference.
These are all Soviet talents, except for some Jewish talents, who are very yearning for Europe and the United States.
In fact, these people may prefer countries like Soviet Union.
In history, it was just like that. China also divided a piece of the pie and absorbed a small part of the talents. The main reason was that the country did not have much strength and funds to eat up these Soviet talents at that time.
It is different for Yang Ming.
What he has now is money, and what he lacks is talent.
If these talents all flock to Hong Kong, they will bring advanced science and technology, or study certain aspects of technology under the guidance of Yang Ming.
Even entering the country, it is enough to change Hong Kong and even the future technology of the country.
