Chapter 214: ‘Advanced Individuals’ Earning Foreign Exchange from Exports? (3k)
I am very lucky, or the quality of the customized parts in the factory is very good. A beam of red light lights up from the front end of the laser. Occasionally, dust in the air passes through the beam and reflects the light. , little stars.
Gao Zhendong fist-bumped: "Haha, yes!"
In this case, it depends on the crystal. In fact, as long as the crystal is qualified and other parts are adjusted, the laser can also be used. Send it out.
This should be considered semi-original, right? Gao Zhendong thought to himself.
——
While Gao Zhendong was worrying about projects such as lasers and modems, in Beijing, the place where he last discussed whether his paper was allowed to be published abroad, a discussion related to him started again.
In front of several people, there were copies of Gao Zhendong's new work "C Programming" and the accompanying exercise set, as well as a letter and a translation.
"C Programming" Needless to say, but that letter is worth talking about.
That letter came from Cramer, the deputy editor-in-chief of a certain AIEE journal. Yes, he was the preliminary editor of Gao Zhendong’s C language paper.
The letter is not long and the meaning is relatively simple.
In addition to greetings to old friends who have returned home, they mainly focus on three points.
C language is a good thing, and many of us here like it!
C language is so difficult, which makes us feel uncomfortable.
Didn’t the inventor of your C language write a slightly simpler and easier-to-understand textbook?
A comrade who participated in the meeting looked at the translation of this letter and said with a smile: "Comrades, look, what a coincidence, we actually have teaching materials. Comrade Gao Zhendong is very productive. The teaching materials and exercise books are all out."
Another comrade who participated in the meeting said: "I have taken a rough look at it and also communicated with comrades from the Computing Institute. This textbook is much easier to understand than the C language standard, and it also adds "
"The question now is, should we provide them with this teaching material?"
"Is this a bit sensitive?"
"Haha, if it's not sensitive, why are we having a meeting here?"
A practical problem is that in China, there are very few results that can be published in internationally influential journals.
One reason is that the technical foundation is indeed weak and there is no stock.
Another reason is the sensitivity mentioned just now. Most domestic technologies that can be considered acceptable internationally are related to national strategic security, such as those in the desert. Is that going to be published? I'm afraid it's not a serious illness.
From a technical perspective and external image, no matter what level, if possible, we still hope to show as many results as possible.
If you don’t have the goods in hand, others will look down on you and won’t communicate with you. It is a very disadvantageous thing to engage in technology, rest on your own laurels, or be self-absorbed in your own circle.
One comrade sighed: "We still have to go out. Especially when I look at the development of computer technology, I feel that this is something that will bring disruptive development to the entire industrial system. Although we are generally weak, we are also We need to get our own say in this.”
Another nodded and said: “We don’t have much to offer in this area, or at this stage, in all aspects. Inside, we can achieve very little results.”
“This is all about the general direction. What we need to determine now is whether this thing should be taken out, and if it can be taken out. "Go, how to get it?"
A comrade who is familiar with this aspect said: "We discussed computer language last time. We can take it out. Now we are not sure. It’s just about releasing this textbook.”
“I think it can be released. There is more than one computer language. If you cause learning difficulties for others, they can use another language. In fact, for Their overall impact is not decisive. ”
"It makes sense, and this is a textbook. It is impossible to cover up something like a textbook."
"Well, another key point is that people hold C language standards , gnawing slowly can yield results. We hold on to it, but we give up an opportunity to promote ourselves and occupy the high ground. To be honest, among the things that others are interested in, there is really nothing more important than this. It’s time to let it go.”
“Rivalry, propaganda position, if we don’t take the initiative, others will occupy it.”
“I feel that in a system like computer technology. It is extremely detrimental to the development of technology to operate behind closed doors in the modernized technology industry. This technology has too many directions and too many application methods. We still need to go out and gain as much say as possible. ”
Everyone just expressed their opinions and discussed it for a long time. Generally speaking, they were inclined to let it go.
In the end, the vote was unanimous and the textbook was released.
The next step is how to get out.
“Let’s do it in my own name, but we have to take care of the laws and regulations for the author and not let him be distracted in this regard.”
“There are comparisons abroad. We need to ask the comrades in charge of foreign affairs to help solve the problem of complete copyright regulations and protection. "
In this year, there is no third-party service system as complete as in the future. As long as you put forward your opinions, Of course, the most important thing is to give money, and they will take care of copyright, legal, and economic matters for you, but the fees are also relatively troublesome. At this time, everyone was blinded and unclear about many of the regulations and requirements outside.
It would be a bit difficult for Gao Zhendong to do this by himself.
"Well, that makes sense. This can protect our interests to the greatest extent."
"Publishing abroad can also earn some foreign exchange, haha."
Foreign exchange will be in short supply until a few decades from now. Although we are about to reach the time when we have "neither foreign debt nor domestic debt" at this point in time, but such a huge industry is waiting to be prospered. Everywhere is crying out for food and urgently needs the introduction of advanced technologies and products, and there is always a shortage of foreign exchange.
In the 1980s, someone once published a book abroad, collected tens of thousands of Citi dollars in foreign exchange, and it was published in newspapers. It was also included in the local work summary as one of the achievements of economic development.
However, individuals cannot receive these foreign exchanges. What they receive are "foreign exchange coupons". Foreign exchange coupons can buy things that cannot be bought normally in some special stores. Foreign exchange itself is managed uniformly by financial institutions.
In the earlier days, there was not even such a thing as a foreign exchange coupon. They were converted into national currency according to the bookkeeping exchange rate and handed over to individuals.
"Maybe Comrade Gao Zhendong can be regarded as an advanced individual in terms of earning foreign exchange through exports, haha."
If the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce were here, he would definitely laugh. That's it? It doesn't matter, you guys didn't see anything else.
Everyone talked and laughed, and the matter was settled.
In this way, without Gao Zhendong's knowledge, one of his books is about to be published abroad.
——
At this time, Gao Zhendong was also dealing with matters related to C language.
Chief Engineer Chi of the Computing Institute came over in person and delivered the equipment circuit board he commissioned the Computing Institute to make.
Putting away the circuit board, Gao Zhendong smiled at Mr. Chi and said, "Mr. Chi, why do you bother to go there in person for such a small matter?"
Mr. Chi said with a smile: "It's a good thing. Son, this matter is important, I’d better come and do it myself.”
What’s the good thing? Generally speaking, you are looking for good things for the computing center, and the computing center is looking for good things for you? This is the first time this has ever happened.
Looking at Gao Zhendong’s confused eyes, Mr. Chi took out a package of things from his bag.
——Two AIEE journals and sample issues of supplements.
Hey, isn't this a good thing that you bring to your calculations?
The journal publishes papers on the C language, and the supplement has only one content: the standard of the C language.
Looking at the sample issue, Gao Zhendong was still a little excited. As an ordinary senior student in his previous life, he had never thought about a journal of the same level as the AIEE journal. Let’s put it this way, he had never thought about it. Published papers.
In this life? Haha, this question is a bit of a joke.
These sample issues were sent together with a letter from Cramer, deputy editor-in-chief of AIEE. The speed is a bit slow. There is no way. This is the situation these days.
As an author, Gao Zhendong should be the last to receive this journal from AIEE. Not to mention readers from Citigroup, even people from the Institute of Computing Technology received it before him.
There are more than two sample journals, but as Chief Engineer Chi and Director Li are the second and third authors of the thesis, they naturally want to collect one copy. In addition, the Institute of Computing Technology, as an organization, also wants to enrich its own. It was a collection, so out of the five sample magazines that came and went, only two were in Gao Zhendong’s hands.
Fortunately, it’s okay, he and Lou Xiao’e can each still have a copy, Gao Zhendong thought.
Seeing Gao Zhendong put away the book, Chief Engineer Chi said another thing: "Director Gao, we are already preparing for C language training. We simply contacted the publishing house this time and published you directly. It is estimated that the first batch of textbooks will be printed in early March. Looking at your time, when is the best time to start?"
Gao Zhendong thought for a while: "If possible, March? The 21st, I’m getting married on the 20th, and there are one or two projects to deal with before that.”
Hearing this, Chief Engineer Chi put aside the training matters: "Huh? Director Gao is getting married? Congratulations, it's the 20th, right? Has the place been decided? Be sure to send it to me and Lao Li Post here, we must drink your wedding wine!”
This is not unexpected. At Gao Zhendong’s age, he got married relatively late in this era.
There was no need to ask Director Li, Chief Engineer Chi expressed his position on his behalf.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "The place has not been decided yet. My partner's family is in Zhangluo, and I am the only one in my family. These things are not as convenient as their family."
Chief Engineer Chi and several others After the matter was done, I got unexpected good news. I was very happy for Gao Zhendong. I took the exact news of the training and returned to the computing office.
