Chapter 188 Comrade Gao Zhendong, you count as half a vote (3k)

Upon hearing this, the leaders of the foreign affairs department and the foreign business department sat up straight in surprise.

The fact that this young man could attend this meeting shows that he is extraordinary.

However, this sentence from the leader of the Defense Work Committee completely refreshed their understanding of "extraordinary". Not only is he young and promising, but he also straddles two worlds, right?

Moreover, "alloy materials" and "electronic computers" are really too far apart. This is even more surprising than the span between electronic computers and semiconductors that Gao Zhendong mentioned just now. If semiconductors are mostly related to computers, then 591 high-temperature alloy has nothing to do with computers.

The head of the foreign business department pointed at Gao Zhendong and said, "The high-temperature alloy we export is also made by him? That's impossible. The gap is too big."

The head of the foreign affairs department was full of admiration: "I never thought that we could reduce the pressure last year, and the root cause was actually you alone."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee laughed and said, "Don't say you don't believe me. I have a lot of top technical talents there, but this is the first time I've seen such a big span. I didn't believe it at first. You should already know that DJS-59 was developed by him alone from the beginning. Apart from his girlfriend's family paying for the raw materials, there was no other help."

We have all heard about this matter last time when we were discussing the northern exit of DJS-59. At that time, we were all impressed by Gao Zhendong, a person who did not attend the meeting. What a talent.

Listening to it again now, it still seems outrageous, especially the part about “no other help”.

However, in this era, it is common for individuals to pay for scientific research and make contributions out of their own pockets.

One of the founders of the domestic semiconductor industry, a respectable lady, also the first female doctor and the first Chinese doctor at the University of Pennsylvania. When she overcame numerous obstacles and left the United States to return to China, all her savings were confiscated by the United States and she returned penniless.

Even under such conditions, she managed to bring back 500 grams of germanium single crystals and 100 grams of silicon single crystals, worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, all of which she donated free of charge to the scientific cause of her motherland.

Early domestic scientific research was carried out with everyone working together to build a strong foundation.

So I admire but am not surprised that Gao Zhendong's partner invested in the research of DJS-59.

The leader of the National Defense Work Committee added: "In fact, his achievements are far more than these, but there are some that cannot be mentioned, so I won't say them, haha. This is also the reason why he has many achievements but his name is rarely heard."

People probably feel like: If you can’t say it, then don’t say it. Is it fun to keep people in suspense?
However, after this incident, everyone gained some confidence in what Gao Zhendong said about the semiconductor production process and began to look forward to it.

The words of the leader of the Defense Work Committee proved at least a few things.

First, Comrade Gao Zhendong really has the ability to conduct cross-disciplinary scientific research and has successful experience.

Second, this comrade should not fire blanks, after all, there is a precedent.

If you have the ability and don't fire blanks, then this matter will have some clues.

The director of Factory 1274 said with a smile: "Director Gao, we will wait for good news then."

Gao Zhendong is not modest either. The textbook he drew, called "Integrated Circuit Design and Manufacturing", gave him enough confidence.

Although high-process technologies and products cannot be produced due to environmental and technological conditions, some of the contents are relatively easy to implement in the early stages of the development of integrated circuits because of their low process and requirements.

He smiled and said, "No problem. Let me pull out the silicon single crystal first, build the single crystal furnace, and then make this."

The head of the foreign affairs department laughed and said, "Comrade Gao Zhendong has such a high level of electronic technology, but why is he working in the 17th Ministry of Machine Building?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the face of the leader of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building darkened. Comrade, you are bringing up something that is not relevant, right?
He smiled awkwardly to save face for himself: "His 591 achievements are within the scope of business of the th Ministry of Machinery. They are gold and shine everywhere."

The leaders of the foreign business department were in a very good mood, which meant that there was hope for the export of DJS-59.

To be on the safe side, he asked: "Comrade Gao Zhendong, are you sure that the large-scale export of DJS-59 will not have a significant impact on its production and that of the next generation of computers?"

Hearing this question, the leader of the foreign affairs department also looked at Gao Zhendong.

In theory, Gao Zhendong shouldn't have said this, as it would be a bit of forcing things forward.

However, since the leader asked him this question, it is a responsibility and an honor.

If you don't have sufficient ability and proof in this profession, who would ask you this question? Who would dare to ask you this question?

They are the decision makers. No matter what Gao Zhendong says, the final result and leadership responsibility will be on their shoulders. They cannot shirk the blame. On the contrary, it is because Gao Zhendong has demonstrated sufficient ability that they asked Gao Zhendong this question, which serves as an important basis and reference for their own decision-making.

Gao Zhendong stood up and stood at attention: "Leader, I am very confident that within one to two years, we can design a second-generation transistor computer that can be produced nationwide. If there are any deficiencies in its semiconductor production process, I will be responsible for supplementing and improving it!!"

These words were powerful and all the leaders nodded.

Everyone looked at each other, and at this time, the role of the foreign affairs department's meeting host was reflected. "Comrades, let's make a vote." The foreign affairs department leader smiled.

Everyone was about to nod, but the leader of the Defense Work Committee suddenly remembered something: "No, there are only four people here, not an odd number."

The Foreign Affairs Department, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Defense Working Committee, and the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, four leaders, four votes. From a procedural point of view, there seems to be a little problem.

The leader of the foreign affairs department thought for a moment and looked at Gao Zhendong: "Comrade Gao Zhendong, let's put it this way. You are from the 17th Ministry of Machinery and have nothing to do with other departments. Although you cannot represent the 17th Ministry of Machinery, you are very important in this matter, so as a compromise, you will be counted as half a vote, haha."

This arrangement is very good, worthy of being in charge of foreign affairs.

It not only cleverly solved the problem of odd numbers, but also did not put too much pressure on Gao Zhendong, and also highlighted the importance attached to Gao Zhendong.

When the other leaders heard this, they all laughed and said, "Okay, this is a good idea."

The leader of the National Defense Work Committee also said to Gao Zhendong: "Zhendong, don't feel pressured. This authority was given to you by the four of us. If there are any problems, we are responsible for them. You just need to express your opinions from a professional perspective."

Several other leaders also looked at him, smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's right."

The people from the Operation Institute and Factory 1274 looked at Gao Zhendong with envy.

Although their ranks are much higher than Gao Zhendong's, they cannot get involved in this matter. This is about seniority, and it is an impressive qualification at that.

As I said, this is a responsibility and an honor.

Gao Zhendong was really a little nervous and frightened, and was covered in cold sweat. To him, this scene was really a bit too big.

However, after hearing what the leader of the Defense Work Committee said and looking at several other leaders, I made up my mind and did it.

As the saying goes, if a person dies, the sky will be warm, and he will live forever.

This kind of opportunity doesn't always come along, so just treat it as a rehearsal for the future, since there's always someone taller to support you.

He nodded: "Okay, leaders."

At this time, there is no need to say humble words. Such words are inappropriate at this time. If you are timid, it is better not to vote.

When it is time to step up, step up; when it is time to take responsibility, take it with the courage to do so. Rights and responsibilities are interdependent.

Finally, after the procedures, the meeting passed the decision to export DJS-4.5 on a large scale with a result of 0:59.

As for which export destinations the products will be exported to, this is something that the Foreign Affairs Department, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and the Defense Work Committee should discuss behind closed doors, and there is no need to discuss it at this meeting.

After deciding on something with the leaders, Gao Zhendong began to relax a little after this baptism. He smiled and said, "Leaders, I think we can make a list of products allowed to be exported, or vice versa, a list of products prohibited from being exported, so that we don't have to hold meetings every time."

The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade's eyes lit up first: "Hey, Comrade Xiao Gao, this is a good idea. It seems to be quite time-consuming to come here several times every time. Let's make a prohibited export list, and everything outside the list can be exported."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee smiled and said, "Well, that's fine. Sensitive items can be classified to determine whether they are allowed to be exported. If they are allowed, what are the export scopes? In this way, when a new item comes out, we can conduct a demonstration and put it in the appropriate place on the list."

The leader of the 12th Ministry of Machinery also nodded: "Yes, it can indeed reduce some workload and improve work efficiency. I didn't expect that we would have to worry about whether the exported goods are too good so soon, haha."

The leaders of the foreign affairs department also agreed: "This way, some work can be carried out more flexibly and proactively. Comrade Xiao Gao has a flexible mind, no wonder he can produce so many results in different industries, haha."

However, this matter is not something that can be handled by these departments behind closed doors. It involves all the primary, secondary and tertiary industries.

Several leaders took note of this matter and will naturally promote related work in the future.

The decision to grant large-scale export license for DJS-59 can be expected to greatly ease the relevant pressure, which makes the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Trade in a good mood.

While signing the relevant documents for the meeting, he joked to Gao Zhendong: "Comrade Gao Zhendong, if you have any good products that I can export again, don't be stingy, haha."

This was originally a joke, but I didn't expect Gao Zhendong to actually think of one. Since you asked me to say it, I'll just say it.

"Leader, if I were to say, there is a possibility."

Hmm? Really? Everyone was excited. This must not be one of those things that the leader of the National Defense Work Committee mentioned just now that cannot be said.
