Chapter 458 Mode Change
The leader's words caused an uproar in the major research institutes below the rostrum.

After a long while, when the discussion in the audience became quieter, the leader continued, "Our current model is not market-oriented, it is too planned."

“This is not in line with market rules.”

"Not only our research institutes, but also our enterprises directly under the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building have undergone great changes."

The leader took out a red-letter document, held it up and shook it, "This is the latest instruction."

"In the future, our factories and research institutes will be responsible for their own profits and losses. Factories will no longer produce and allocate funds according to national plans. Instead, they will sell the products they produce and operate them commercially through banks."

"That is to say, there is no government funding. If the factory wants to develop, the funds needed will be obtained through banks."

“The state will collect taxes from factories as normal.”

After saying that, the leader waved his hand and asked the secretary to distribute the official document so that the participating research institutes could watch and study it.

This was the second propaganda meeting held by the leaders of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building. The first one was held for responsible comrades in various factories to convey this notice.

Although the number of factories directly under the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building has been reduced a lot and most of them have been decentralized to various regions, several large electronic factories in Jiuxianqiao in the capital are already directly affiliated.

Of course, the heads of several factories that had already established joint ventures or cooperation with Universal Electronics were very happy to receive this notice.

In the future, any excess money from sales can be directly controlled by the factory.

In the future, when distributing benefits during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, there will no longer be a need to produce extra products outside the plan and exchange them with other factories, although the radios they produced before are definitely good items for exchange.

But in the past two years, the radios they produced before have been unsalable.
According to statistics, the total amount of foreign exchange for the country's annual imports of electronics and automobiles has been increasing year by year since the 80s, reaching more than 84 million US dollars in 5 alone.

So of course these factories are happy because they have more money to use!
The noise from the rostrum did not stop. The leader of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building tapped the microphone. After a few buzzing and sizzling sounds, he said again: "Comrades, this is our country's strategy for change."

"There is absolutely no room for that."

"We will take the market-oriented path in the future."

The leader pointed outside and said, "The World Bank's investigation team is now in our capital. They are here to investigate whether our country is promoting a market economy and conducting free trade in accordance with the World Bank's standards."

The leader said earnestly: "Comrades, the world has changed, and we need to keep pace with the times!"

"Otherwise, how can our country develop? When can it develop?"

Suddenly someone on the rostrum stood up and shouted indignantly: "Our research institute has always been undertaking national research projects and has received funding from the state."

"What do you want us to do?"

"That's why our Fourth Ministry of Machine Building invited a large American company."

"Okay," the leaders left without waiting for anyone else to speak. "The American company's research manager will come to us tomorrow. They will separate the research direction and plan. You can discuss the details in detail."

After saying that, they left the venue one after another.

"Woo" Some fifty-year-old men and middle-aged men couldn't help but shed tears.

The next day, Wang Deming brought engineers from Global Electronics and a thick directory to the venue.

The venue changed its appearance again. There was an open space in the middle, surrounded by a circle of tables, and each table was a research institute.

Wang Deming arranged for someone to distribute the booklet, and then said, "The books here all contain the directions our company wants to research in the future. Please make your choice and then communicate in detail with the head of our technical department." After that, he left the venue and went to find the leader of the Fourth Machine Department.

He came today just to give face to the leaders of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, and he was also worried that the researchers of Global Electronics would look down on domestic scientific researchers.

This research cooperation meeting lasted for nearly a month, because many leaders of scientific research institutes are not researchers by background, and some of the people who came to the meeting were not the real technical masters of the institute.

I didn't know the answers to many questions, so after the meeting on the first day, I immediately made a phone call and asked someone in my family who was really skilled to come and participate in the discussion.

In this way, intermittently, the researchers of Global Electronics finally distributed all the research directions and plans.

Since Wang Deming took over Global Electronics, it changed its previous assembly plant and recruited many electronic talents from Japan and the United States in order to catch up with the wave of electronic technology in the 80s.

Basically, all profits each year are reinvested in scientific research.

Wang Deming went to the United States early on. This year, a Chinese delegation is participating in the Los Angeles Olympics.

Mr. Huo contributed a lot to the delegation's funding problem.

In this Olympics, shooting athlete Xu Haifeng won the first Olympic gold medal for China.

The Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the US team to win the Olympic volleyball gold medal!

The whole country is excited!

It was not until Wang Deming returned to Beijing that he learned that the first joint-stock company in China, Beijing Tianqiao Department Store Co., Ltd., was established.

Then the China Software Industry Association was established
In fact, China's software industry also started research very early, such as supercomputer programming software and Chinese character laser typesetting.

The latter was successfully developed by Wang Xuan, a famous academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, because previous publishing software was only in English and did not contain Chinese characters.

After Academician Wang Xuan successfully developed the Chinese character laser typesetting, my country's printing and publishing industry was able to develop its underlying technical strength and flourish.

It is also because of these technologies that Peking University established a company called Peking University Founder.

Tsinghua also established a company called Tsinghua Unigroup.

For decades, these two companies have dominated most of the traditional printing market in China. As long as it comes to printing and publishing, from Chinese character font size to printing and typesetting, these two companies are indispensable.

Until one year, Peking University Founder announced its dissolution because it was related to someone's son.

That's too far.
After Wang Deming learned that this association was established, he immediately donated money to it.

Then, through this association, we contacted several major universities in China, especially the teachers in those universities.

This is also the most common model of other foreign foundations, which is to donate to associations in a certain country and look for candidates who suit their interests.

Wang Deming found the Software Association for microcomputers.

He directly set up a company in the country and put his niece Renchun in charge.

The main research directions are operating systems and databases.

There were three wealth vanes in the 80s: Microsoft, Apple, and Cisco.
