Chapter 93 Difficulties in returning talents

“Let’s go eat.” At this moment, Xiao Bozhi walked over to greet the two of them.

Lunch was eaten in a restaurant at the entrance of the study. Meng Qian sat with Shi Yuzhu. During this period, many entrepreneurs deliberately talked to Meng Qian a little bit, which surprised Meng Qian a little bit.

The atmosphere for lunch 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 court.

At the same time, during the meal, Meng Qian got to know Xiao Bozhi.

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

He and Shi Yuzhu had known each other when they went to school. It is said that this time he returned to China to look at the domestic development situation and find out if he could go back to China for development.

Meng Qian didn’t ask too much during the meal, and I just wanted to know about it. However, Xiao Bozhi has been getting closer to Meng Qian consciously or unconsciously, and Meng Qian clearly felt it deliberately.

In the afternoon, everyone walked around the school for a while, and then found a conference room to continue talking about the donation.

The leaders of the supper academy did not participate here. The entrepreneurs who were present today continued to gather for another meal. Except for a few urgent matters, most of them attended the dinner.

In a little free time before the dinner, Meng Qian found an opportunity to take the initiative to walk to Xiao Bozhi’s side, “Senior, have a chat?”

Xiao Bozhi looked at Meng Qian and smiled slightly, “Okay.”

The two found a corner to sit down. Because they had the basic knowledge at the dinner table before, Meng Qian went straight to the subject and said, “Is the senior’s return to China for inspection related to the Internet winter in the United States?”

“Yes.” Xiao Boshi nodded without evasiveness. “The extent of the Internet crisis in the United States this time exceeded everyone’s estimate. The impact is no longer just the Internet industry. Some time ago, I heard domestic friends say that the domestic Internet Although companies have also been impacted, there are also a group of companies that are a little bit interested in taking the opportunity. They told me that they saw a strange potential in China. I was curious, so I came back to take a look.”

“Then how many people are in the U.S. who intend to return to China just like seniors?”

“Those who want to return to China?” Xiao Bozhi looked at Meng Qian with a puzzled expression, and then directly asked, “Which group does President Meng refer to?”

“The seniors also know that I do the Internet myself, but many people think that I just do games and hyacinths. In fact, I want to do a lot, but I can’t find anyone. There are too few experienced Internet practitioners in China. There are not many experienced programmers and managers, so…”

Xiao Boshi understood what Meng Qian meant, and suddenly laughed, “If President Meng expects the Chinese from the U.S. to return to China in large quantities because of the cold winter of the Internet, then don’t think about it. Let alone the cold winter of the Internet, the universe is exploding. They will not return home either.”

“Huh? Why did the senior say that?” Because later generations have also communicated with some friends overseas, Meng Qian can probably guess what Xiao Bozhi meant, but he can’t be sure. After all, this is 2001, which is different from his own time. .

Xiao Bozhi turned around the ashtray on the table, and after thinking for a while, he said, “People who go abroad have two categories, either to survive or to study.

But more people still want to survive, and to go abroad to pursue a better life, they can’t even talk about the American dream, just can live better than living in China.

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

For these people, they will feel homesick. Although it is undeniable that some people have been assimilated in the U.S. and want to change their skin color, of course, more people are family lovers. Everyone does not want to be discriminated against and bullied outside. Discrimination abroad. Only those who have been there know how serious it is.

But again, it’s all ordinary people, who don’t want to live better, return to China, low wages, poor living environment, heavy work pressure, and those who can survive in the United States, do not rule out the possibility of some living It’s not as good as those in China, but most of them have decent jobs and settled abroad through normal channels. It is indeed much better than in China. After all, the development of the two countries is far worse.

So in a cold winter for them, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and they have no reason to come back. You can’t get involved with the issue of patriotism or not, right? ”

Seeing the obvious change in Xiao Boshi’s expression when he said this, and he was 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, “I believe that many overseas Chinese will be sensitive to this topic. There are always people who say at every turn that those who go abroad or come back are unpatriotic. Let me give you an example. A programmer said this not long ago. One sentence.

I just say an ordinary programmer. I am a programmer in the United States. I am also a programmer when I return to China. When I go back, I can’t build rockets and cannons for the country. I also want to build a country, and I also want to be an old man with money. The same great hero, I also want to go down in history, but my ability is only worthy of being a small common man, even if I go back, I won’t bring anything to the country.

I can make a choice. Only me, a small commoner, can live better. The only thing I can take care of is how my family can live better. ”

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

But under the current objective circumstances, Mr. Meng, what can he do when he returns to China? That is to find a software company to be a small programmer, with a meager salary, and lead a hard life, so patriotism has to let oneself live in order to be patriotic?

Is returning home to be patriotic? Is this unreasonable?

Even if there is a saying that one person may not be able to do anything when he returns to his country, if everyone returns to his country, he can gather together into a force, but the question is, who has this appeal? Who can call on all overseas Chinese to return home and participate in construction?

Let me tell you that only the country has this ability, and it is not based on coercion. It depends on the day when our overall development of China is really real. Everyone feels that when the life abroad is similar to the life in China, more people will spontaneously return to China. .

But at this moment, none of them will come back from the explosion of the universe. ”

Xiao Bozhi was silent again, and he could see that he really cared about this topic. Meng Qian estimated that he had been kidnapped by morals.

Meng Qian was thinking about how to adjust the atmosphere. Xiao Bozhi took the initiative to speak again. It seems that he does not want Meng Qian to be the person who adjusts the atmosphere because of his emotions. “Let me talk about the second type of people, studying, what I call here The study 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 the country. However, according to the data released by the two countries, the proportion of high-end talents in our country is also very low. Why?

My personal opinion is for two reasons. The first is the basic environment of scientific research in China. Compared with the United States, the biggest gap between us is that the industrial infrastructure started late, which has caused a gap in the basic environment of scientific research. In all fairness, you really can’t do it after you return to your country. 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, it is not something you can return if you want to.

In fact, there are not many high-end talents who want to return to China. There is a kind of national plot that we are born with here. On the other hand, the country’s policy for high-end talents is very good, and returning high-end talents can at least protect you from worry about food and clothing.

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

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 strict technology export control policies. First of all, you, a Chinese, want to participate in high-end technology research and development in the United States. It is very difficult. Many companies must change their nationality for core positions.

Secondly, if one day you want to return to China, they will have a hundred reasons to prohibit you from returning, because they will suspect that you will return to China with American technology. The American people have a very strange idea that the technology they created is theirs. The technology created by others is the world’s.

Many people know that Qian Lao almost never returned to China, but they don’t know how many Chinese researchers in history wanted to return to China but failed.

And even if you come back, once the project you participated in has achieved success, the United States will immediately begin investigations and complaints on the grounds of various technology export bans. High-tech talents returning from China have a large number of such prosecutions every year. Uncomfortable.

So in summary, overseas Chinese either don’t want to return to China, or they can’t return to China. It’s not fair to say that many Chinese who return to China now can’t be mixed overseas. There are many objective problems for talents to return to China.

If we want to realize the return of a large number of overseas talents, we must first let the country develop quickly. ”

Looking at Xiao Boshi’s sigh, Meng Qian asked, “Does the senior think that there are any good ways to cultivate talents in China?”

Xiao Bo sighed, “Set a benchmark, just follow us to build Shanghai, build Shenzhen is a concept, some basic things are behind, you are developing, others are also developing, you think we are a 1.3 billion In a country with a large population, how difficult is it to develop in an all-round way?

It’s better to concentrate on setting a benchmark first, benchmark schools, benchmark scientific research units, benchmark laboratories, benchmark enterprises, and focus on the points, and the small to grow. ”

“So, when the senior came back to China this time, he wanted to find a benchmark company?”

“That’s right.” Xiao Bozhi recognized Meng Qian’s statement, “My friend recommended me several companies.”

“Oh? Which ones?” Meng Qian couldn’t help being curious.

“Baidu, 3721, Yinghaiwei, eBay, Kingsoft, Sina, Sohu.” Speaking of this, Xiao Boshi suddenly paused and continued, “Dafeng Technology Innovation.”

Meng Qian, “…”
