1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Hehehe, do you think I'm being arrogant?" Chen Tiezhu asked cheerfully. Dean Lu nodded, "It feels like that to me. If you want to reach domestic standards, I think there's no problem as long as you're willing to invest money." "But if we want to reach world-class standards, it seems a bit far-fetched. We're so far behind them, and we don't even understand how many machines work." "So, this is my future goal. I plan to achieve the initial goal in one and a half to two years," said Chen Tiezhu. "The problem with artificial joints is actually the materials. As an orthopedic surgeon, I can draw the shape of a joint with my eyes closed."

"As for the bone plate, I have a rough idea now. Whether it will work or not, we have to wait until the machine factory is renovated and the trial production is completed before we can verify it."

"But I don't think the goal I mentioned is so far away and unattainable. Science and technology are constantly developing, even in our country, we are constantly improving."

"In the future, I will buy these devices from foreign countries and disassemble them. Dean Lu said it well, we have to understand its working principle."

"If we can't get around the patents of some technologies, then there is no way. We can only buy the right to use the patents from others, or directly import foreign parts or something."

"And if we can continue to invest funds, constantly network talents, and do research in this area? Then can we achieve overtaking before the next technological innovation?"

"Tiezhu, I don't know if you have any knowledge of the investment in this area." Hou Jingfu said seriously.

"But I think if you want to make a breakthrough in this area in the future, you will need to invest a lot of money and it will take a long time."

"Because conducting corresponding research not only requires purchasing materials, but also supporting a group of people. These people may not have any breakthroughs for five or ten years."

"Then it also means that you have to support them in vain. This expense is also very large, and it also increases the factory's expenses a lot."

"Well..., in fact, the core problem is money, right?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

Hou Jingfu nodded. Isn't opening a factory to make money?

Now Chen Tiezhu said it very nicely, you can invest in this and don't care about that. After this matter is really managed, I am afraid that if there is no result in one or two years, you will regret it.

"Well..., in fact, there is a situation that you two don't understand very well. That is to say, I acquired our county's machinery factory, but it is not for making money." Chen Tiezhu thought for a while and said.

"I really disliked the machinery factory. But the operation of the machinery factory was not good, and I had a good relationship with the leaders of our county, so I took this job."

"If it was my own factory, I could actually invest all the profits in research and development while ensuring the operation of the factory and the treatment of the workers."

"But I am cooperating with the county, and I have to give the county 30% of the profits. In this way, the county's funds can be more sufficient, which will greatly promote the subsequent work of the county."

"And the reason why I have such confidence is that I have many ways to make money. Another enterprise in the county, the breeding farm, and the planting industry I developed in our village, these are the money-making ones."

"If I hadn't entered the door of medicine, if I hadn't had a good relationship with Lao He, the provincial hospital, and our county hospital, I really didn't want to worry about this aspect."

"And even in the future, I don't I will participate in the specific management of the enterprise. In terms of production, the original factory director will be responsible for it, and he will notify me seriously and responsibly. "

"If Lao Hou can join my small factory and fight for a little bit of future possibilities, the technology will be completely handed over to Lao Hou."

"What is my idea? Since I want to do this, I will try my best to do it. Otherwise, there will be regrets in the future. After more than ten or twenty years, I will slap my thighs and ask myself how good I should have been at the beginning."

"So in order to avoid such a situation, if I haven't considered it well, I won't do it. No matter what, you have to persist in order to gain something."

"Let's say our surgeons do surgery. No matter how difficult the surgery is, if you do it hundreds or thousands of times, you look at it again, it seems that the procedure is not that difficult."

"If everything is simple, we don't need to do this, right? There are a lot of people who want to do it, but there is nothing.Meaning."

"So I have confidence. For example, our Erdaoling Village, our goal this year is to get rid of poverty and become rich, and we are working towards this direction."

Hou Jingfu nodded, "That's right, many things are valuable because of persistence. The reason why I came out is because the tasks assigned to us by the leaders are always changing."

"Today we study this, tomorrow we study that. Just like the technology, as long as you want to study, you can solve it in a few days."

"And in the process of research, we are always facing the situation of insufficient research funds. If the research funds spent in these years were focused on the research of a certain technology, we may have made a breakthrough now."

"Hahahaha, this is normal. If the leaders of your unit change again, the previous ones may be overthrown and started again." Chen Tiezhu laughed.

"With me, you can rest assured. Take out the projects to be studied, and after discussion, as long as they are determined to be research projects of our factory, we will carry them out unswervingly. ”

“Although we are a factory, we want to be a factory with our own technology. Factories that only produce according to regulations will basically have no way to survive in the future.”

“Because once science and technology develop, the technology will be updated too quickly. The technological advancement during the war was also unprecedented. Now it is a peaceful time. If we want to leave others behind, we can't do without technology.”

“So, I feel that the next stage will be a stage of rapid technological development. Although we are behind, it is also beneficial. As I said, we can learn from others.”

“If we learn from them, we can achieve overtaking. If we can have more sophisticated medical equipment for examination and monitoring of patients' vital signs, what will the result be in the future?”

“For example, many examinations abroad, such as abdominal, thoracic, and pelvic examinations, have already begun to use endoscopes. But what about us? We still have to have a big operation at present, right?”

“Can we also invest in some research in this area? Can we have another innovation in this area, so that we can perform surgery while conducting examinations? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Dean Lu's butt jumped up as if it was on fire.
