Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

A postdoctoral fellow is not a degree. In China, a postdoctoral fellow refers to a job position in a higher education institution or research institution to engage in scientific research after obtaining a doctoral degree.

In foreign countries, there are also some people who have not obtained a doctorate degree and participate in scientific research as a postdoctoral fellow.

China only formally established the post-doctoral system in 1985, but the college entrance examination has only resumed for seven years, and there are not many doctors in China at all.

Those with doctorate degrees were all cultivated in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1980s, they were also professors. The most powerful ones even went to academicians, and there was no need to become a postdoctoral fellow.

In the following few years, first-class universities in China began to set up post-doctoral research stations, and scientific research institutes also began to set up post-doctoral research stations. Scientific research workstations and scientific research funds are not rich.

The situation of colleges and universities is better than that of scientific research institutions. Although everyone is short of funds, after two years of post-doctoral work in colleges and universities, at least one can become an associate professor. This is also a very socially important profession.

In scientific research institutions, there is no such kind of treatment. Many positions in scientific research institutions are thankless, the treatment is poor, and the pressure is high. Most people are reluctant to do it, and it does not sound as compelling as a university professor.

Therefore, the preferred choice of many postdoctoral fellows is not scientific research institutes, but scientific research institutions in universities.

After entering the 1990s, the funds of domestic scientific research institutes began to be abundant. At this time, the post-doctoral scientific research stations established by various institutes really began to play their role.

Li Weidong has long wanted to get a post-doctoral workstation. After all, in terms of scientific research capabilities, the level of post-doctoral workstations must be a few blocks away from the company's own R\u0026D department.

However, according to the regulations, the establishment of a postdoctoral research mobile station or a scientific research station requires the approval of the Ministry of Personnel and the National Postdoctoral Committee.

Many colleges or scientific research institutions have insufficient levels, and the National Postdoctoral Committee will not approve the application.

As a national-level scientific research institution, the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute obviously has the qualifications to set up post-doctoral workstations. So Li Weidong had already made up his mind, and then he took down the post-doctoral research station as the signboard of the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute.

When Dean Chen lion opened his mouth and mentioned the 10 million scientific research funds, Li Weidong knew that Dean Chen was asking for money in a different way, and he did not immediately refuse, but detoured and talked about the development of Invoice thing.

A sentence of paying taxes in accordance with the law directly blocked the mouth of Dean Chen.

No matter how good Dean Chen is, he can't get around the country's laws.

What's more, Dean Chen has spent his whole life in a public scientific research institution. How can he understand the ways of corporate taxation? Li Weidong can fool Dean Chen and fool you lame with a few words.

Later, Li Weidong proposed the establishment of a post-doctoral research station, and made it clear that he would use the resources of the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute to make a wedding dress for Fukang Agricultural Machinery.

According to the regulations, post-doctoral research workstations are independent organizations within universities or scientific research institutions.

Units that set up post-doctoral workstations have the right to conduct target management, index assessment, performance evaluation, and reward and punishment of workstations, but the funds for post-doctoral workstations can be earmarked.

Because up to the country, down to the governments at all levels, the postdoctoral workstations will be subsidized in terms of funding, which also makes the units dare not embezzle the funds of the postdoctoral workstations.

Audit departments at all levels are not blind. If they dare to misappropriate scientific research funds without authorization, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around when auditing scientific research funds every year.

This also means that once the post-doctoral scientific research workstation is established, the scientific research funds paid by Fukang Agricultural Machinery will be owned by the post-doctoral scientific research workstation, and Dean Chen will not be able to take this tens of millions to the big scale.

Secondly, the results of the post-doctoral research station are handled in accordance with national laws and regulations on intellectual property rights. This is also a mandatory state regulation.

This stipulation was originally intended to protect the interests of the establishment of workstations, but in the eyes of the current Director Chen, this stipulation is simply cutting the flesh of the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute.

Because the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute did not provide scientific research funds!

Without money, there is no justification for obtaining research results. In this regard, the intellectual property laws and regulations of any country will protect the interests of investors. After all, if no one pays, the scientific research results will not be produced.

If the project team of the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute has received external financial sponsorship and finally produced results, the agricultural machinery researcher can be shameless, keep the results as their own, and give the funder the right to use it.

The things that have been researched by themselves are also more flexible at the operational level.

However, the postdoctoral workstation is an independent organization, and the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute cannot take its research results as its own, and needs to handle it according to the national intellectual property laws and regulations.

It is precisely because the state has special regulations on post-doctoral workstations that Dean Chen cannot take advantage of it. Therefore, when Li Weidong proposed to build a post-doctoral research station, Dean Chen immediately understood that Li Weidong was a good child, he clearly regarded himself as Kay!

...

Dean Chen was a little angry and a little depressed, but he didn't show it on his face, but said, "Chairman Li, you are an enterprise, and there is no precedent for setting up a postdoctoral workstation in an enterprise in our country, right?"

"But it's not forbidden in terms of policy. It can only be said that this aspect is temporarily in a blank stage." Li Weidong continued with a smile:

"Furthermore, this post-doctoral research workstation was essentially established by your Agricultural Machinery Research Institute, but the office is located in our Fukang Agricultural Machinery Company!"

The dissatisfaction in Dean Chen's eyes flashed, and he secretly said in his heart, if the office is placed in your Fukang Agricultural Machinery Company, the 10 million scientific research funds will not be divided by our Agricultural Machinery Research Institute, I am afraid even a penny will be spent. Can't see.

Li Weidong continued; "President Chen, in fact, I also know that your scientific research funds are relatively tight, and you are responsible for many scientific research projects, so there should not be too much money invested in the research and development of cotton harvesters.

If there is no financial support, the cotton harvester may not be able to achieve phased results in a short period of time. So our collaboration is the only way to speed up research on cotton harvesters.

And this is definitely good for your hospital. After the cotton harvester is developed, we have products that can be used, and you can also hand over the scientific research results to your superiors! This is better than cutting projects without funding! "

Dean Chen frowned slightly, and he naturally understood what Li Weidong said.

Public scientific research institutions like them do not exist to make money, but to meet the needs of the country, so they provide scientific research results to their superiors.

Dean Chen tried his best to defraud funds, and he also hoped that various projects in the hospital could speed up and achieve results as soon as possible.

In this regard, it is indeed a good way to cooperate with Li Weidong. Although the cotton harvester is not such a key scientific research project, if it can be made, it will fill the gap in China, which is also an achievement of the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute.

However, Dean Chen always felt that he didn't get any money from Kaizi, and he was at a loss.

This mentality is probably like going out and not picking up something even if you lose it!

Li Weidong saw through Dean Chen's thoughts, and he said, "President Chen, I also know that applying for the establishment of a postdoctoral research workstation is not an easy task, and the management of postdoctoral workstations in the future is also a very important task, so Well, if this post-doctoral research station is built, I can pay 200,000 yuan for the management fee to your institute every year!"

Dean Chen knew that this was the money to buy his own way.

200,000 a year is not a small amount for a project like a cotton harvester that was originally to be cut down, but compared with 10 million, it is a drop in the bucket.

Dean Chen also knows that in this situation, 10 million is definitely impossible to get, so if you can order more, you must order as much as possible!

I saw President Chen pondering for a moment, then said: "Chairman Li, you have never been in a scientific research institution, you don't know how difficult it is to manage a scientific research institution! Just like last year, something happened in our hospital. …”

Seeing that Dean Chen began to complain, Li Weidong smiled helplessly and said, "The management fee is 300,000 yuan a year."

"Speaking of last summer..." Dean Chen said another thing.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand a year?" Li Weidong had to raise the price again.

"In 1992, in the winter, I remember that it snowed quite a lot..."

"400,000 a year! Headquarters, right?"

"In the late 1980s, scientific research institutions were reformed..."

"President Chen, why don't you make a price!" Li Weidong said.

"500,000 a year!" Dean Chen stretched out five fingers.

Dean Chen pondered that 500,000 yuan a year, if applying for a six-year postdoctoral workstation, it would be 3 million yuan, which is also a lot of income.

"Deal!" Li Weidong slapped Dean Chen and gave him no more room to bargain.

Dean Chen was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Am I going to have less?"

...

500,000 yuan for a postdoctoral workstation, Li Weidong thinks it is worth it.

That Dr. Ni Guilin has already done a certain degree of research on cotton harvesters. Li Weidong only needs to give a part of the funds, and the research progress will definitely improve rapidly.

It is impossible for Li Weidong to really invest 10 million. The post-doctoral workstation is built in Fukang Agricultural Machinery Company.

After the post-doctoral research station is established, it is not possible to only study cotton harvesters, but also provide comprehensive technical guidance to Fukang agricultural machinery.

At that time, what kind of technical problems Fukang Agricultural Machinery encounters? Go to the post-doctoral workstation for advice. Can the workstation help? The big deal is to give some gifts, bring two bottles of Maotai, and then secretly compete for a red envelope, and the matter will naturally be solved.

As for the 500,000 "road money" given to the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute every year, this is also a last resort.

The Agricultural Machinery Research Institute is also in charge of the quality inspection of agricultural machinery, so it is absolutely impossible to have a deadlock relationship with the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute, so as not to wear small shoes for Fukang Agricultural Machinery in the future.

Therefore, 500,000 yuan this year is absolutely impossible to save, and it is regarded as a tribute to the ice and carbon of the Agricultural Machinery Institute.

In Li Weidong's plan, as long as this postdoctoral research station is built, he will live here forever.

At that time, postdoctoral workstations were all established in colleges and research institutes, and enterprises did not have postdoctoral workstations.

It was also in 1997 that in order to promote the combination of production, education and research and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into production, the state issued the "Notice on Expanding the Pilot Program of Postdoctoral Work in Enterprises", which cleared up policy issues. Since then, enterprises can apply to the state. , set up a post-doctoral research station.

But until 2004, the enterprises that set up post-doctoral research stations were state-owned super-large or large enterprises, as well as a few high-tech enterprises. Most of the enterprise doctoral research workstations are concentrated in "Chinese prefix" enterprises.

Obviously, if you are not a large state-owned enterprise, or a high-tech enterprise, you are not qualified to set up a postdoctoral workstation at all.

Of course, in that era, apart from Huawei and other individual companies, other private companies did not have the capital to set up post-doctoral workstations. Those who really had the ability to see post-doctoral workstations were all powerful state-owned mega-enterprises.

The scale of Fukang Agricultural Machinery Company is definitely incomparable with those giants with "Chinese prefixes", and the high-tech in that era was concentrated in the IT field. At that time, agricultural machinery manufacturing could only be regarded as traditional machinery manufacturing, not high-tech.

Therefore, it will be very difficult for Fukang Agricultural Machinery to apply for a post-doctoral workstation through the formal process after the "Pilot Notice" is officially issued.

However, if the Fukang Agricultural Machinery Company had a post-doctoral research station before the "Pilot Notice" was issued, the situation would be completely different.

At that time, after a little operation and finding ways to find relationships, the original post-doctoral scientific research workstation can be turned into Fukang Agricultural Machinery's own enterprise post-doctoral scientific research workstation.

It can be said that for Fukang Agricultural Machinery Company, the establishment of this post-doctoral workstation is a strategic weapon for enterprise development.

...

Qinghe City, Shilibao Village, the newly built textile wholesale mall, has completed the interior decoration, such as fire protection, safety, civil air defense and other acceptance work has also been completed.

Next is the turn to rent, and after some merchants are available, they can officially open for business.

This is only the first phase of the textile wholesaler's project. According to Li Weidong's plan, there will be a second phase and a third phase. After the third phase is completed, the wholesale mall will be able to attract at least 20,000 merchants.

Walking in the spacious and bright aisle, Li Weidong nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Ma Zhongyi next to him: "Brother Ma, I have already applied for the establishment of a special mall management company to conduct commercial management and operation of the mall. When the time comes, the general manager will But it's not you!"

"I'm not good at doing business. I was able to close an electric furnace factory back then. And I don't have much education, so how can I manage such a big mall." Ma Zhongyi said quickly.

"Managing a mall is different from ordinary business. It's mainly about dealing with people. Brother Ma, it must be difficult for you!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

Commerce is different from production. Doing commerce is actually communicating with people. It is especially important for commerce to have good interpersonal relationships in all aspects.

Ma Zhongyi is very good at this. Don't look at Ma Zhongyi's low education, but he can't bear this guy's social bullshit, and he also has a congenital aura of "good brothers", from business owners to dealers Pawns, Ma Zhongyi can deal with each other, and after a drink, they can be called brothers and sisters.

Seeing what Li Weidong said, Ma Zhongyi didn't refuse. After all, he started the wholesale mall from scratch. Just like his child, if it was handed over to others, Ma Zhongyi would really feel a little lost.

Li Weidong went on to say: "The next step is to attract investment. Let's try to fill all the business spaces here in one year!"

Ma Zhongyi, who was next to him, hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Weidong, there are so many stalls here, it's a little hard to fill them up in a year. As far as I know, the businesses at the bottom of the sheds in the city are reluctant to move here. !"
