Rewrite the Technological Landscape

"Let's go eat." At this moment, Xiao Boshi came over to greet the two of them.

We ate lunch at a restaurant in front of the school. Meng Qian and Shi Yuzhu were sitting together. During this period, many entrepreneurs deliberately chatted with Meng Qian, which surprised Meng Qian.

The lunch atmosphere was harmonious, and Meng Qian also exchanged business cards and wind signals with everyone.

Generally speaking, Meng Qian has always been relatively low-key, after all, today is not his home game.

At the same time, during the meal, Meng Qian got to know Xiao Boshi a bit.

After graduating from Jiangda University, Boshi Xiao went to the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota in the United States to study for an EMBA in management. He is currently working in Cisco's strategic planning department and is a middle-level manager.

He and Shi Yuzhu have known each other since they were in school, and it is said that this time he returned to China to see the development of the country and see if he had the opportunity to return to China for development.

During the meal, Meng Qian didn't ask too many questions, he only wanted to know more about it, but Xiao Boshi has been getting closer to Meng Qian intentionally or unintentionally, and Meng Qian clearly felt it deliberately.

In the afternoon, we strolled around the school for a while, and then found a meeting room to continue chatting about donations.

The leaders of the dinner college will not participate here. The entrepreneurs present today continue to gather for another meal. Except for a few urgent matters, most of them attended the dinner.

In the free time before the dinner, Meng Qian found an opportunity to walk up to Xiao Boshi, "Senior, let's chat for a while?"

Xiao Boshi looked at Meng Qian and smiled slightly, "Okay."

The two found a corner and sat down. Because of the basic understanding at the dinner table before, Meng Qian went straight to the topic and said, "Is it related to the cold winter of the Internet in the United States?"

"Yes." Xiao Bozhi nodded without hesitation, "The extent of the Internet crisis in the United States this time has exceeded everyone's expectations, and it has affected not only the Internet industry. Some time ago, I heard from friends in China that the domestic Internet Although enterprises have also been impacted, there are also a group of enterprises that are a little bit interested in taking advantage of the opportunity. They told me that they saw a strange potential in China, and I was very curious, so I came back to take a look.”

"Then how many people in the United States are interested in returning to China like the seniors?"

"People who want to go back to China?" Xiao Boshi looked at Meng Qian with a puzzled expression, and then asked directly, "Which group is Mr. Meng referring to?"

"Seniors also know that I am doing the Internet myself, but many people think that I am only doing games and news. In fact, I want to do a lot of things, but I can't find anyone. There are too few experienced Internet practitioners in China. Now, there are not many experienced programmers and managers, so."

Xiao Bozhi understood Meng Qian's meaning, and suddenly laughed, "Mr. Meng, if you expect the Chinese in the United States to return to China in large numbers because of the cold winter of the Internet, then don't think about it. Let alone the cold winter of the Internet, the universe exploded. They're not going back home either."

"Huh? Senior why did you say that?" Because later generations have also communicated with some friends overseas, Meng Qian can probably guess a little what Xiao Boshi meant, but he can't be sure, after all, this is 2001, which is different from his time at that time. .

Xiao Boshi turned the ashtray on the table, and after thinking for a while, he said, "There are two types of people who go abroad, either to survive or to study.

But more people still want to survive and go abroad to pursue a better life, not even talking about the American dream, as long as they can live better than in China.

Therefore, the purpose of most of the Chinese abroad is actually very pure, to earn more money there, enjoy a better social environment and social welfare, and send more money to their families to improve their lives. It is all for survival. That's all.

As for these people, they will be homesick. Although it is undeniable that some people were assimilated in the United States and wished to change their skin color, more people are of course family-loving. Everyone does not want to be discriminated against or bullied outside. Discrimination abroad How serious it is, only those who have been there know.

But still the same sentence, they are all ordinary people. Who doesn’t want to live a better life? After returning to China, the wages are low, the living environment is poor, and the work pressure is high. Those who can survive in the United States do not rule out the possibility of living in the United States. It is not as good as those in China, but most of them have serious jobs and have settled abroad through normal channels. It is indeed much better than those in China. After all, the development conditions of the two countries are far apart.

So for them, a deadly camel is bigger than a horse in an Internet winter, and they have no reason to come back. You can't get involved in the issue of patriotism or not, right? "

Seeing Xiao Bozhi's obvious expression change when he said this, and being silent for a few seconds, Meng Qian couldn't help asking, "Senior seems to be very concerned about this statement?"

Xiao Bozhi couldn't help smiling wryly, "I believe that many Chinese abroad will be sensitive to this topic. Some people will always say that those who go abroad and don't come back are not patriotic. Let me give you an example. Not long ago, a programmer said this. In a word.

Let me just say an ordinary programmer. I was a programmer in the United States, and I was also a programmer when I returned to China. I can’t build rockets and cannons for the country when I go back. I also want to build the country, and I also want to be an old man with money. The same great hero, I also want to be famous in history, but my ability is only worthy of being a commoner, even if I go back, I will bring nothing to the country.

I can choose, only how I, a commoner, can live a better life. The only thing I can take care of is how my family can live a better life. "

Xiao Boshi was silent for a while before he said, "Is this person patriotic? I dare say he is absolutely patriotic. Last year, because a white man made fun of Huaxia, he was almost sent back to China because of a fight with him. I believe he is that kind of person. Today, if the country is in trouble, he can charge forward with a gun.

But under the current objective situation, Mr. Meng, what can he do when he returns to China? That is to find a software company as a small programmer, with a meager salary, and live a hard life, so patriotism must make oneself suffer to be called patriotism?

Returning home equals patriotism? This is unreasonable, right?

Even if there is a saying that one person may not be able to do much when returning to the country, if everyone returns to the country, they can gather together as a force, but the question is, who has this appeal? Who can call on all overseas Chinese to return to China to participate in the construction?

Let me tell you, only the country has this ability, and it is not by coercion, but by the overall development of China one day. Everyone thinks that when life overseas is similar to life in China, more people will spontaneously return to China .

But at this moment, the universe explodes and none of them will return. "

Xiao Boshi was silent again, it could be seen that he really cared about this topic, Meng Qian guessed that he had also been kidnapped by Daode.

Meng Qian was thinking about how to adjust the atmosphere, Xiao Boshi took the initiative to speak again, and it seemed that he didn't want Meng Qian to be the person who adjusted the atmosphere because of his emotions, "Let me talk about the second type of people, studying, what I call Studying here is not simply studying abroad, but refers to those talents who really pursue high-end technology and high-end scientific research.

These people can make effective contributions to the development of the country when they return to China, but according to the data released by the two countries, we have a very low proportion of high-end talents returning to China. Why?

In my personal opinion, there are two reasons. The first is the basic environment of scientific research in China. Compared with the United States, the biggest gap between us and the United States is that the industrial infrastructure construction started late, which also led to the gap in the basic environment of scientific research. Many scientific research In all fairness to the project, you really can’t do it after you return to China, and there is no such condition in China.

The second reason why high-end talents do not return to China is that it is not so easy for them to return to China. When you are really a high-end talent, you can’t just go back if you want.

In fact, there are quite a few high-end talents who want to return to China. There is a natural ethnicity here. On the other hand, the country’s policy for high-end talents is very good. High-end talents returning to China can at least protect you from food and clothing.

But you have to know that the United States is the country with the strictest technology export controls in the world, not one of them.

If you look at European countries, they are very willing to share technology. Their overseas technical support ratio is very high, but the United States has always implemented a strict technology export control policy. First of all, you, a Chinese, want to participate in high-end technology research and development in the United States. It is very difficult. The core positions of many companies require that they must change their American nationality.

Secondly, if one day you want to return to China, they will have a hundred reasons to prohibit you from returning to China, because they will suspect that you bring the technology of the United States back to China for construction. The Americans have a very strange idea that the technology they create is theirs. , The technology created by others belongs to the world.

Many people know that Mr. Qian almost didn't return to China at the beginning, but they don't know how many Chinese scientific researchers in history wanted to return to China but failed.

And even if you come back, once the project you participated in achieves success, the United States will immediately start an investigation and sue on the grounds of various technology export prohibition regulations. There will be a large number of such prosecutions by high-tech talents returning from China every year. uncomfortable.

So to sum it up, overseas Chinese either don’t want to return to their country, or they can’t.

If you want to realize the return of a large number of overseas talents, you still have to let the country develop quickly. "

Seeing Xiao Bozhi's sigh, Meng Qian asked, "The senior thinks, is there any good way to cultivate talents in China?"

Xiao Boshi clicked his tongue and said, "Let's build a benchmark, just build Shanghai with us, and build Shenzhen is a concept. Some basic things are backward. If you are developing, others are also developing. You think we are a 1.3 billion How difficult is it for a country with a large population to develop in an all-round way?

It is better to concentrate on setting up benchmarks first, benchmarking schools, benchmarking scientific research units, benchmarking laboratories, benchmarking enterprises, and use points to lead to areas, and small to large. "

"So, the senior came back to China this time to find a benchmark company?"

"That's right." Xiao Boshi recognized Meng Qian's statement, "My friend recommended several companies to me."

"Oh? Which ones?" Meng Qian couldn't help being curious.

"Baidu, 3721, Yinghaiwei, eBay, Jinshan, Sina, Sohu." Speaking of this, Xiao Boshi suddenly paused and continued, "Dafeng Kechuang."

Meng Qian, "."

Thank you for your reward for negotiating!
