Tian Shuyuan said: "in fact, we can think about it in reverse, maybe there is still some hope."
"The other way round?" Zhang Qianxiu immediately responded that Tian Shuyuan meant to invite foreign professors and experts back to teach.
On second thought, it seems that there is no problem, but on second thought, it is no less difficult than sending people to study abroad.
Which universities did Zhang Qianxiu send people to study abroad? Universities like Oxford, Harvard, Stanford, Yale and Cambridge.
Why are these universities so powerful? Education resources are good. There are top teachers in all walks of life in the world. They have good welfare to keep these teachers.
These teachers not only teach in schools, but also conduct scientific research. These universities can provide good scientific research places and research equipment. When many teachers choose a school, they not only depend on their income, but also on what kind of scientific research resources they can get in this school. Just like yuan pengchi, why is he willing to go to Zhang Qianxiu? Because Zhang Qianxiu gave scientific research funds!
The same is true for top teachers in other schools. On the one hand, they need research resources.
However, China simply can not provide good research sites and resources, and there is no way to retain top professors only by relying on high welfare.
Zhang Qianxiu said with a bitter smile: "Professor Tian, Qingda and Shangjing University have an advantage over me, don't they?"
In his last life, Zhang Qianxiu saw a picture of the research funds of foreign universities. The research funds of the world's first-class universities are about 1 billion yuan a year.
Now how much R & D funds these universities have? Zhang Qianxiu doesn't know. Even if it shrinks ten times, there will be 100 million meters of gold, 4.5 billion Chinese yuan!
Now there are few people worth more than 100 million in China. To put it bluntly, Zhang Qianxiu has enough money in his hand to rank in the top 50 of the country.
In 1992, Mou called himself the richest man in the mainland with 2 billion yuan.
Around 2000, the total assets of the richest man in China did not exceed 10 billion, basically around 8 billion.
In 2001, the richest man was no more than 8.5 billion, ranking No. 100 with a total assets of 500 million.
By 2020, the wealth of the richest person will be more than 430 billion, and the number one hundred will be 33.5 billion.
Zhang Qianxiu does not know how many of the richest people in China are now, but it is estimated that they will not exceed 2 billion.
Of course, some people's wealth can't be calculated. For example, some people with official background are not easy to calculate, and no one dares to calculate.
However, given the current domestic economic situation, it is impossible to pay several hundred million Chinese yuan a year.
Tian Shuyuan naturally knew the degree of suffering in the middle, and said: "Mr. Zhang, this is the reality. If it was easy to do, someone would have done it long ago."
Zhang Qianxiu knew that what Tian Shuyuan said was right: "Professor Tian, to be honest, before I came to Beijing, I was full of ambition. I felt that what I wanted to do must be within reach."
"When I came here, I found that I thought things too simply."
Tian Shuyuan said: "if there are more people like Mr. Zhang, the education and scientific research in our country will surely usher in a big explosion."
Zhang Qianxiu said modestly: "Professor Tian is flattered."
When they chatted, people from the education department came, a man and a woman, both 40 and 50 years old.
Tian Shuyuan introduced Zhang Qianxiu. One of them was Hu Xueyi, who was specially responsible for studying abroad by the government; Another person, who is more senior, is Xie Donggang, the second leader of the education department.
After a few polite greetings, Xie Donggang said, "Mr. Zhang, we heard that you want to set up a fund to send people to study abroad. Moreover, the scale of the fund is not small. There are 20 million in the early stage, and there will be long-term investment in the future?"
Zhang Qianxiu said: "I have this plan, but there are many difficulties in it. I don't know how to operate it."
Hu Xueyi said, "Mr. Zhang, I didn't pour your cold water. It's not feasible at all."
"The state is also vigorously supporting and spending our talents to study abroad, but the results achieved are relatively limited, at least not up to our expectations."
"Too many people go out and don't come back, which leads to a lot of brain drain in our country."
"The people sent out by the state are still like this, not to mention how much it costs to send them to study abroad. Even if you send out 100 people, less than 10 will come back and more than 90 will be lost, it's not cost-effective at all. The cost is too high."
"It's not just the high cost of money, it's also the high cost of losing talent."
"There are not enough talents in our country. I heard Professor Tian say that the people you want to send out are basically concentrated in several areas where chips are needed, which will lead to a more shortage of talents in our country."
Although Hu Xueyi's words are not pleasant to hear, it is a fact.
Zhang Qianxiu said: "I just have such an idea now. I have to discuss it. Since I want to send people to study abroad, my goal is to cultivate more and more high-end talents for the country, right?"
Hu Xueyi saw that Zhang Qianxiu's speech was neither humble nor overbearing, and indeed, as Zhang Qianxiu said, his starting point was good.
Hu Xueyi's tone eased down and said, "Mr. Zhang, in fact, your idea is good, but the feasibility is not high."
"Another problem is that the number of undergraduate graduates in our country is not large in these fields you need at present."
"It's just like Qingda. There are only a few hundred students who are related to integrated circuits. The scope is expanded a little. There are only two hundred students who are related to integrated circuits."
"You can't send all the fresh graduates related to chips from the top 20 universities in our country!"
"If you send thousands of people out this year for five consecutive years, there will be a five-year vacuum for talents in this related field in our country, and the talents cultivated by other schools are limited, which can not make up for this lack."
"In our country, there are relatively few talents in the field of integrated circuits, and the development is relatively slow. If you give us such a gift, our whole industry may be biased."
Xie Donggang said: "Mr. Zhang, director Hu's talk is a bit alarmist, but it's not totally unreasonable."
"Thousands of talented students are sent out in this way, not to mention how many can come back. Even if there are those who can come back, they all work in your company. Then there are basically no talents available for other companies in our country's integrated circuit industry."
"Mr. Zhang, you want to make chips. I don't know much about chips, but I probably know some of them. They are only one kind of integrated circuits. Even chips can be divided into many kinds."
"Our country can't compensate all other chip industries and integrated circuits for the development of computer chips, do you think?"
"After our research and consideration, we feel that if you send people out, you might as well invite the professor back."
"Put these professors in various colleges and universities, and you can give some financial aid to all the schools. These schools, every year in the fields you need, expand the enrollment, cultivate talents, you can sign some contracts and so on, and go to work in your company after graduation."
"In this way, we can take care of Mr. Zhang's employment plan and ensure the employment of our country's integrated circuit industry."
When Zhang Qianxiu heard this, he couldn't help wondering whether they were deliberately trying to give money to universities.
Now, it's not a small number to give each university one or two million. The university is very willing to expand its enrollment.
However, this idea is only a flash. There are only so many college students in China now. There are absolutely not many students who are assigned to the field of integrated circuits, especially in every school.
Xie Donggang took out a piece of information and handed it to Zhang Qianxiu: "Mr. Zhang, if you look at the information, we don't have enough talents."
Zhang Qianxiu took over. This is a statistical table of the number of students admitted to universities every year.
In 1985, 1.76 million people applied for university entrance examination and 620000 people were admitted. In this year, only more than 1000 people studied integrated circuit. Integrated circuit is better. The chip field is the most popular in China, because there is no related work at all, and only a few national research institutes are struggling.
In 1986, 1.91 million people applied for the examination and 570000 were admitted.
In 1987, 2.28 million people applied for the examination and 620000 people were enrolled.
In 1988, 2.72 million people applied for the examination and 670000 were admitted.
In 1989, 2.66 million people applied for the examination and 400000 were admitted.
By 1990, 600000 people had been enrolled.
It seems that there are many students enrolled, but in fact, there are many majors.
China is generally divided into 12 categories: philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, management and art.
Under these 12 categories, there are also 80 or 90 sub categories, such as economics, finance, and so on. Among them, finance is divided into financial engineering, insurance, actuarial science, investment, and so on.
There are more than 600 small categories. On average, there are about 1000 students in one major. Some of them are popular, so naturally there are more students. Moreover, some schools do not have integrated circuit majors at all.
In the end, we can count that at present, there are no more than 10000 talents in the field of chips and no more than 50000 talents in the field of integrated circuits in China.
These people may not be engaged in their professional counterpart work in the end, because there are no job opportunities in domestic chip industry; Integrated circuits are better, at least TV, radio and tape recorder.
Zhang Qianxiu's heart was cool when he saw the data.
In such a situation, how to make a chip? Relying on a few experts with dozens of people, hundreds of people to study? How can it compare with a team of thousands or even tens of thousands of people?
The funny thing is that even if all the talents in this field in the whole country are gathered together, there may not be more talents from other people, who are more professional, because they have the most advanced technology and the latest scientific research data, and we have nothing.
Even if Zhang Qianxiu wants to send people to study abroad, he can't find so many students. What Xie Donggang and Hu Xueyi say is right, unless he sends out all the students in related fields every year.
But in that case, will the domestic TV industry still need to develop? These industries all need integrated circuit talents. TV and other industries need to recruit talents when they expand. Now there are just enough people in the market, or even lack of them. When enterprises recruit talents and no new talents enter the market, they will rush for talents. Some enterprises with poor efficiency can't afford high wages, so the talents will be gone, and the factories can only wait to close down.
Even if Zhang Qianxiu wants to continue to send a large number of people to study abroad, it is estimated that at the beginning, the state will slap him. He doesn't care about the life or death of other IC industries in China. The state cares! The state will not allow Zhang Qianxiu to do so.
Zhang Qianxiu suddenly felt a sense of frustration, but he was not reconciled at the same time. He was defeated by the domestic reality before it even started?
