The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 277 Inspection
Liu Hua stood back and pushed Lu Yuanshan to the front. At this moment, Lu Yuanshan felt his head buzzing and his face burning.

He turned around and whispered to Liu Hua: "Teacher, why don't you do it? I'm too nervous and I'm afraid I'll say something wrong."

"You should come if I ask you to. You have to be able to perform well." Liu Hua said seriously, "No matter how weak a fledgling eagle is, it must spread its wings and fly high. I am giving you the stage now because I hope you can become a talent as soon as possible."

The leader watched the conversation between the teacher and the student with a smile on his face. After they finished speaking, he asked, "What's the matter? You don't want to explain it to me, an old man. Do you think I don't have a high degree and can't understand what you are saying?"

Liu Hua smiled and said to the leader: "The child is still young and a little nervous. I will counsel him."

"Let the kids talk?" The leader asked in confusion, "If I remember correctly, you are the leader of this laboratory and you are also their teacher. Shouldn't you, the teacher, be the one to talk?"

"This is a training for them." Liu Hua explained: "We have been interrupted in talent training before, so cultivating young talents is the most urgent thing now. This kid is a good material and can withstand pressure. The greater the pressure, the greater his motivation."

"I see." The leader laughed: "So you teach students in accordance with their aptitude."

"There is nothing we can do. Time is running out." Liu Hua pointed at the laboratories around him and said, "Leader, can you ask someone to take a look at the laboratories around here? The top workers are all around 40 years old. This is not a good sign."

"Oh? Then what do you think is a good sign?"

Liu Hua thought for a moment and said, "When the chief designers of our country's major projects, such as fighter jets, aircraft carriers, rockets, and missiles, are people between 30 and 40 years old, and the researchers below are all young people between 20 and 30 years old, then it means that our country's science and technology has begun to take off."

The leader put his hands on his hips, lost in thought. In his mind, he began to envision the scene that Liu Hua had described. Young people in their twenties and thirties are in the prime of their lives and are in the best period of their lives to do their work. The age of researchers represents the level of development of a country's scientific research strength. The more young people there are in the scientific research team, the more it means that the country's scientific research strength is in a stage of rapid development.

The leader sighed and said, "It's really something to yearn for. I wonder if I can see such a sight in my lifetime."

Over there, Lu Yuanshan took two deep breaths to relieve his tension, then stood next to Liu Hua who nodded.

The leader was paying close attention to everyone at the scene. Seeing Lu Yuanshan like this, he jokingly said, "Oh, our future chief designer is not nervous anymore?"

Lu Yuanshan scratched his head and smiled innocently.

The leader patted the boy on the back as if he were patting his own child and grandchildren: "Young man, your teacher has considered things in the long term and in detail. You must not let him down."

"I won't let the teacher down."

After relieving his tension, Lu Yuanshan became calm and composed. Once he focused all his attention on the project, he was able to concentrate on it immediately. This is also an unprecedented talent.

He explained the design ideas, operating principles, and development prospects in detail to the leaders. The most valuable thing was that he not only used very complex professional terms, but also explained them in the most understandable language.

Even if the leader has no idea what a digital copier is, he can understand how it works.

The leader patted Lu Yuanshan on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you are indeed a brilliant general. I actually understood everything you said. Give me a document and a piece of paper so I can try it out." Someone next to him handed over a document. After the leader put it away, he pressed a button. A quiet and pleasant sound was heard, and a flash of light could be seen from the gap under the lid.

Then a document with full printouts came out of the paper outlet. The leader picked up the original document and compared it with it. He smiled and said, "It's very clear, convenient, fast, and easy to operate. This is a very successful high-tech product."

The leader's secretary echoed, "Secretaries like us who do paperwork will be blessed in the future. It used to be troublesome to copy something, but with this copier, our work will be much easier."

The leader smiled and said to everyone: "Did you hear that? My secretary called me. He was complaining to me about his heavy workload and asked me to quickly equip him with such a high-tech product."

Being a secretary to a leader means that the leader is an absolute confidant. Some secretaries are no different from family members, so even if the leader jokes with him casually, he will not panic.

The secretary joked, "The leader just opens his mouth and the secretary runs around. As leaders, how can you know how heavy our secretaries' work is? I really want a copier like this."

The leader clapped his hands and said, "What a pity! You are a poor leader and cannot afford a copy machine."

The atmosphere was quite harmonious and everyone could laugh freely.

At this time, the leader saw the half-finished printer and asked with interest: "What is this? Is it also a copier? Why is it so small? Are you already considering upgrading the technology?"

Lu Yuanshan quickly introduced: "This is not a copier, this is a printer."

"Is this printer the same thing as the typewriter we had before?"

Lu Yuanshan thought for a moment and said, "To some extent, it can be considered as such, but the efficiency of a printer is much better than that of a typewriter."

"Now with personal computers, we can process files on the computer, make revisions, and format them. Once the files on the computer are processed, we can connect them to a typewriter and have the typewriter print out the files on the computer."

The leader said happily: "It's high-tech again. You have received orders for copiers worth more than 100 million. I hope you can keep up the good work. The orders for printers will be more than those for copiers."

Liu Hua continued: "In terms of application scenarios, printers have a wider range of applications than copiers. Although the price is slightly lower, the future market is even larger."

The leader shook Liu Hua's hand and said with a smile: "I understand. Professor Liu means that this printer will make more money in the future."

Liu Hua nodded: "Yes, from a business perspective, the printer can be sold at a lower price, but we can definitely make more money through consumables, that is, the ink used by the printer."

The leader laughed and said, "I heard that Professor Liu wanted to go into business. I had objections at first, but seeing that you are so good at business, I thought you might as well give it a try. This is also a new path."
