Chapter 219 Donating Computers
Around ten o'clock the next morning.
Liu Tao and Zhu Lin came to the dormitory area of Beijing Institute of Technology.
Liu Tao was carrying two bags in his hands. It was impossible for him to come empty-handed when he accompanied his wife back to her parents' home.
In addition to cigarettes and alcohol, there were some mushrooms and medicinal herbs.
Zhu Xiongxin and Fang Zhen were delighted, and Fang Zhen took the child.
After a brief greeting at the door, Liu Tao saw the cut meat and vegetables in the kitchen before entering the house.
Zhu Lin and his mother held the child and chatted to one side, while Liu Tao and Zhu Xiongxin sat on the sofa. Zhu Xiongxin made tea, and the father-in-law and son-in-law chatted while making tea.
"This year, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building has given the school a lot more funds. Now you are going to donate so many computers to the school. The school leaders are very happy." Zhu Xiongxin said with emotion.
Liu Tao smiled and said, "Now the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building is rich, and the universities under its jurisdiction will naturally benefit from it."
There are 14 schools directly under the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building nationwide. In addition to Jingcheng Industrial College, there are East China Engineering College, Jinyang Mechanical College, Bingcheng Optical Precision Machinery College, Shencheng Industrial College, Chang'an Industrial College, Shancheng Industrial College, Jinyang Industrial College, Shencheng First College, Baotou Mechanical Industry College, Shaanxi First Industrial College, Zhongyuan Mechanical Industry College, South Sichuan Industrial Management College, Changzhi Mars Mechanical Industry College.
And this kind of directly affiliated colleges is not only under the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, but also under other mechanical industry ministries.
For example, there are 44 schools directly under the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, including 27 university colleges, 5 junior colleges, 9 technical secondary schools, and 3 adult college cadre colleges.
For example, Panshan Machinery Factory is a factory under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, so the workers or their families can go to the schools directly under the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building to study through Panshan Machinery Factory.
Jingcheng Industrial College can be said to be the son of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building. The Fifth Ministry of Machine Building has money, so naturally the sons will benefit first.
"I heard that the computers you want to donate are very expensive?" Zhu Xiongxin asked.
Liu Tao said patiently: "This is not a personal donation from me, but a donation from Jinlong Computer Company. Each of these computers sells for 3,500 US dollars in Europe and the United States."
"3,500 US dollars? Doesn't that mean that 20 computers are worth 70,000 US dollars?" Zhu Xiongxin couldn't help but take a breath.
70,000 US dollars, even if it is based on the exchange rate announced by the bank, it is 124,400 RMB.
What's more, everyone knows that this exchange rate is slightly distorted. Anyway, 124,400 RMB can never be exchanged for 70,000 US dollars.
Before, Zhu Xiongxin only knew that the computer was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Even if he had some savings, he would not be willing to buy a computer.
Liu Tao smiled.
This time, Jinlong Computer donated a total of 100 computers to five domestic colleges and universities, with 20 computers donated to each college and university, equivalent to a computer room, to cultivate talents in the computer field.
There are even a batch of computer-related books.
As his alma mater, Liu Tao naturally favors Beijing Institute of Technology and puts it in the first donation list.
Later, Jinlong Computer will regularly donate computers to domestic universities to promote talent cultivation in the computer field.
Otherwise, even if Liu Tao launches more advanced computers, there will not be so many talents.
To put it bluntly, even if he creates the Internet, it is probably useless because there are not so many talents to implement it.
In the field of computer talents, China is now far behind the United States.
The gap is so big that it is by no means a little bit.
And colleges and universities are undoubtedly places to cultivate talents and are the easiest to learn knowledge.
Liu Tao remembers that decades later, even elementary schools had computer courses and were exposed to computers from an early age. As for universities, there are many computer-related majors.
Even if university teachers don’t understand computers now, it doesn’t matter. They can read books first or hire talents who understand computers.
And colleges and universities can also use these computers for scientific research.
After all, although Liu Tao doesn’t like these computers, they still run very fast and can definitely play a significant role in scientific research.
At this time, Zhu Lin came over with the child, but Fang Zhen was about to start cooking.
Liu Tao took the child, and Zhu Lin went to help.
The child is now more than five months old, and is not as soft as when he was just born.
And the five-month-old child is also more lively, and his smile is enough to dispel any troubles.
The son is chubby, and his smile is like Maitreya Buddha, and he looks very blessed.
He is not afraid of strangers, and smiles at everyone he sees.
The lunch is very rich, with chicken girl stewed red mushroom soup, braised pig's trotters, braised carp, fried pork liver and a plate of green vegetables.
Fang Zhen's cooking skills are very good, much better than Liu Tao's mother.
Liu Tao's appetite is very good, and he eats one more bowl of rice than usual.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon.
The auditorium of Beijing Institute of Technology was full, and the big red festive banner showed the theme of today.
It was a computer donation ceremony.
Liu Tao donated 20 computers to Beijing Institute of Technology on behalf of Jinlong Computer.
This makes Jingcheng Institute of Technology the first university in China to have a computer room.
The president of Jingcheng Institute of Technology was grinning from ear to ear.
Beijing Institute of Technology is an ace university in the field of weapon science and technology. It ranks first in the country in firearms. Similarly, the first light tank and the first surface-to-air missile in the country all come from Beijing Institute of Technology.
With this batch of computers, it will play a very important role in the school's scientific research.
Moreover, it can also develop computer-related courses to allow students to master new knowledge.
Principal Su looked at Liu Tao again, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
Who would have thought that a student who had just graduated a few years ago would be on par with him when he returned to school.
Now he has donated computers to the school.
At that time, Principal Su personally wrote to Liu Tao, trying to persuade Liu Tao to return to school to teach and cultivate more talents.
After all, Liu Tao's development of several firearms all shows Liu Tao's talent and attainments in the field of firearms. If Liu Tao can return to school to work, it will greatly enhance the strength of Beijing Institute of Technology in the field of firearms.
Look at these few years, Liu Tao has become China's first firearms designer, famous throughout the entire firearms industry.
The book written by Liu Tao in his spare time was included in the textbooks of Beijing Institute of Technology and was regarded as a treasure by many people.
Moreover, Liu Tao not only has outstanding talents in firearms, but also has strong talents in other weapons.
Self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and tanks are all powerful weapons of a great country.
Now Principal Su still regrets that he should have personally gone to Yun Province to invite Liu Tao, maybe he could have persuaded Liu Tao to come to the school.
Liu Tao didn't know what Principal Su was thinking. In addition to donating computers, he also gave a lecture to his younger classmates to share his learning experience, learning methods, and some experience in participating in work.
