Training the Heavens

Chapter 130: Public and Private Benefits
Today's press cards are not yet standardized. Whether it is newspapers, magazines, television or radio stations, each one issues its own, and Xinhua News Agency is no exception. In the past, press cards were relatively simple, with a plastic cover. On one side was the photo and name, and on the other side was the unit name, certificate number, and content requesting cooperation from stations and other places.

Today's press cards are very impressive. The cover is made of ochre lambskin and cotton thread, and inside is a stack of central documents in red-headed Song-style font, such as China Civil Aviation No. XXX, Ministry of Railways No. XXX... Without exception, all units are ordered to ensure unimpeded access for Xinhua News Agency reporters.

This certificate is the most powerful press card among press cards. There are no more than 2,000 of them in the country. With this certificate, Gao Jialin can board any regular means of transportation. If he is late, he can just stop a public car on the side of the road and show his certificate to get the greatest cooperation.

It also allows for open entry into most state-owned enterprises. When Tang Shizeng, a renowned journalist who reported on the Iran-Iraq War in the Middle East, received this certificate, he even said, "There is no place in the world that I cannot enter."

By the way, he just happened to join Xinhua News Agency this year. Unfortunately, Gao Jialin hasn't seen it yet. I don't know if he hasn't come in yet or has been queued up somewhere else.

"It's still summer vacation, and it's not appropriate to keep you in the company all the time. You should go home quickly before the vacation is over, and then send the articles to us. The same goes for after school starts. We don't have any requirements for your attendance, as long as you can submit high-quality articles." Considering that Gao Jialin has not graduated yet, the conditions offered by the publishing house are still very relaxed.

"Okay, I've also thought of the focus for the recent interviews!" Gao Jialin reported to Ji Jingshuo, "When I was visiting Japan, I found that Japanese universities have a good combination of scientific research and corporate applications. When universities produce useful research results, they can quickly be applied in businesses. If businesses have needs, they can also fund and commission research from universities."

"But China seems to be doing less in this area. The old saying goes, 'Science and technology are the primary productive forces,' but that's clearly no longer true. So I plan to conduct a long-term, sustained interview on this issue. This time, when I return to Shaanxi, I'll first visit Jiaotong University to get a feel for the situation. Then, when I return to Shanghai for the start of the semester, I'll visit universities and businesses there. I hope to write a useful article that will capture the attention of leaders."

"Well, your topic is very good. It fits your identity as a college student and also meets the needs of the times. Just go for it boldly. I'll help you get coverage later! Oh, by the way, if you spend money during the interview, remember to get tickets and get them reimbursed when you come back to the publishing house." Ji Jingshuo clapped his hands without much thought.

Gao Jialin smiled and used the words of an old man to endorse the topic. How could such a topic be bad?

Moreover, choosing this topic will not only help him complete the task assigned by Xinhua News Agency, but will also be very beneficial to him personally. Today, the research level of domestic universities is not useless, and the vast number of scientific researchers have also produced many valuable results in the laboratory. Unfortunately, most of these results cannot generate economic benefits.

On the other hand, domestic companies have long been plagued by the problem of insufficient technology and are unable to obtain advanced technology to improve production efficiency and produce more competitive products.

Whoever can open up this link can make huge profits. Simply put, it means acting as an intermediary, buying technology from university researchers, and then selling it to companies at a higher price, so that money can be easily obtained.

This is what Yuan Baojing, the future richest man in Liaoyang, did when he started his business. He imitated a salesman and first knocked on the doors of companies one by one, recorded the list of companies with technology needs and the types of technology they required, and then found various universities and research institutions to buy out the scientific research results that had been shelved and dormant after demonstration and appraisal, and resold them to companies that needed these results.

At the same time, he also found a technological achievement that suited him. At that time, an agricultural university had developed a high-yield "triticale", but it had not been promoted and popularized. Yuan Baojing spent 10 yuan to buy the patent for "triticale" and rented 5 acres of land from farmers for 300 yuan to grow wheat.

Six months later, the triticale matured, and the seeds quickly dominated the national market, earning him a profit of over 200 million yuan that year. He then used the money to invest in the "327 Treasury Bond," becoming a tycoon. Unfortunately, his wealth became irresponsible, leading to his tragic end. I won't go into detail; those interested can find it by searching; it's sure to be an eye-opener.

Gao Jialin knew the value of those technologies better than he did, and his identity as a Xinhua News Agency reporter also made it easier for him to obtain information from both universities and enterprises. This business was simply tailor-made for him, and it would be a shame not to do it.

Before leaving Beijing, he called Gao Jiawang and stayed in Gaojia Village, Kuanzhou County for a few days. Gao Jiawang then came back with a lot of bags, which naturally included gifts for Gao Jialin's family.

In the evening, they had dinner at Gao Jialin's house. After they had their fill, Gao Jialin and Gao Jiawang avoided the crowd watching TV in the threshing ground and went to the river to enjoy the cool air. They talked about business and said, "I have a new idea now and I want to find someone to help me. Who do you think is suitable?"

"If you think I can do it, then let me do it!" Gao Jiawang said without any hesitation.

"If you leave, what will happen to the furniture factory?" Gao Jialin was very pleased. The income of the furniture factory was not low. Gao Jiawang was willing to give up without even asking about the specific situation. This showed that Gao Jiawang wanted to help him from the bottom of his heart.

"Jiasuo and the others learn things very quickly. Just let whoever you think is suitable manage the furniture factory. They can do a good job." Gao Jiawang did not say who would replace him. He knew very well that Gao Jialin was the boss and he had to decide on this matter.

"Okay, then let's add the lock. It will take me more than half a month to return to Shanghai. You can go back in a couple of days to make arrangements. I'll tell you about the new idea when I get there." Gao Jialin could also guarantee that Gao Jiawang would definitely earn more if he came to be in charge of the technology intermediary business.

It is also a good opportunity to train people. When I was making furniture before, I either came into contact with workers in the factory or customers. Now I have contact with more companies and can learn more.

After staying at home for a few days, Gao Jialin first went to Xi'an, visited Jiaotong University to learn about the situation, interviewed several local companies, helped them connect, and then wrote a short article and sent it to Ji Jingshuo.

At this point, his summer vacation mission was completed. Now he still had time, so he could go to Dunhuang to see how the filming was going and how Chen Hong and Li Jianqun were doing on the crew.
