When Vézé received the letter from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), he was very worried before he opened it. As long as the SASAC managed the state-owned assets well and strictly checked the industrial investment and basic investment projects, it would be fine. It was not in the name of the chairman of the SASAC or any other director. The sender's position on the envelope was neatly written with the words "State-owned Assets Management Committee", which meant that the letter was sent in the name of the SASAC. What kind of important matter could make the SASAC write to Vézé so solemnly? It was impossible for Vézé not to be nervous.
He opened the big envelope, which contained the consensus document of the SASAC and another letter. If it was before, Vézé would definitely read the letter first, but now he read the consensus document first. Vézé remembered a saying: "Some people arrive at a place, and as soon as they get out of the car, they talk and give their opinions. This is criticism, and that is accusation. In fact, ten out of ten people like this will fail. " Wei Ze had heard of this saying since he was a teenager. It wasn't until he was almost 40 that he realized that this saying was true. Moreover, he was able to put into practice the concept of 'no investigation, no right to speak'. Vézé was actually quite disappointed with himself. He read the document first, and then the letter. This could be considered as completing the investigation as soon as possible.
Halfway through, Vézé put down the document, which was a relatively rare thing for Vézé. He had read many worse documents than this consensus, or in other words, most of the economic reports that Vézé had read up to now did not reach the level of this consensus. The reason why he could not continue reading was that Vézé was too happy and excited.
Finally, someone could connect the development of science and technology with the development of society. This was not Vézé's request, but the final conclusion that everyone came to after discussion and consideration. This meant that a group of industrialists had finally appeared in the Party and the Central Committee, and they were a group of cadres.
Until now, most of the provincial cadres' understanding of industrialization was limited to building a bunch of factories, making some things and selling them. It was hard for Vézé to tell if the reason behind their strong impulses was because they thought that the factories were good, or because they thought that building more factories would help them get promoted.
Lighting a cigarette, Vézé paced back and forth in the study of the Old Summer Palace for a while. With great difficulty, he suppressed his chaotic thoughts and calmed his mood. He picked up the consensus and continued reading. After reading the last page, Vézé was no longer in the mood to read the letter. This time, Vézé simply went out with his hands clasped behind his back and strolled along the lakeside of the Summer Palace.
The SASAC's comrades had indeed seen the crux of the problem. Currently, China had not started to engage in the financial industry, let alone engage in financial leverage. The government's approach was still very traditional, which was to engage in production, generate surplus, and invest this surplus into infrastructure. It must be admitted that this kind of accumulation was very solid. At the same time, it had to be admitted that the efficiency of this kind of accumulation was not that high. Now, both China and the US are building railways crazily. The US is using the corporate model and is raising funds in the stock market. Therefore, in a very short period of time, the US has raised a huge amount of funds from the US and the rest of the world to build hundreds of thousands of kilometers of railways.
Of course, after the collapse of the US railway bubble, the economic crisis broke out.
Currently, the SASAC's comrades did not understand financial instruments, but they deeply felt the problem of insufficient funds. In order to solve this problem, the SASAC's comrades asked Vézé to come out and use Vézé's earth-shattering ability to lead China to achieve a breakthrough in the industry, thereby promoting another explosion of productivity to solve the current predicament.
The guards and the secretary watched Vézé with his hands clasped behind his back, leisurely strolling in the picturesque Old Summer Palace. Smiles appeared on their faces again, but not long after, their expressions became serious. Everyone knew that the Military Governor Vaize considered the overall good, but he also had to make a relatively important decision. For example, a few days ago, after Vézé met with the Russian ambassador, he also went out for a walk. The thick murderous look on his face made the guards and the secretary feel a chill down their spines.
In the afternoon, Ruan Xihao came to see Vézé. He said, "The preliminary plan to go north to Heilongjiang has been completed. Commander-in-chief, please review it."
However, Vézé said, "I will leave this matter to the Northern Command. I have decided to go back to Nanjing."
"Why?" Ruan Xihao was quite surprised, but he was also a little happy. Vézé was in Beijing, and all of Ruan Xihao's military commands had to be reported to Vézé first. It was not a big deal to run around, but with Vézé above him, Ruan Xihao felt that he could not do anything.
Vézé did not answer directly. He said, "I am going to transfer Comrade Shen Xin to be in charge of the land reform in the north. You will have to cooperate with him in this regard."
If Shen Xin was only in charge of the land reform, of course, Ruan Xihao had no objections. He immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"
"Also, I remember you talking about how great it would be if there were no wires in the telegraph and it could be moved everywhere. There should be such a thing, right? "Vézé asked Ruan Xihao.
"Is there really such a thing?" Ruan Xihao was overjoyed.
Vézé looked at Ruan Xihao seriously and said word by word, "The wireless telegram is an absolutely confidential thing. I think you know the significance of the wireless telegram."
"Commander-in-chief, you asked to strengthen the confidentiality a while ago. Does it have anything to do with the wireless telegram?" Ruan Xihao asked with an overjoyed expression.
After this period of reorganization, not only did the discipline of confidentiality gradually take root in people's hearts, but Ruan Xihao also gradually understood the significance of confidentiality. If foreigners knew the internal design of the warship Qingdao, they could learn it. If the Liberation Army had the warship Qingdao, they could easily crush the warships of other countries. If other countries had warships like the warship Qingdao, how would the Liberation Army deal with them? Nowadays, confidentiality was no longer as simple as keeping combat information confidential. A country's economy and technology also needed to be kept strictly confidential. Hearing the wireless telegram, Ruan Xihao felt that Vézé's method wasn't a spur of the moment idea. He really had a long-term plan.
Vézé didn't answer this question. Instead, he talked about the implementation. "Let me tell you, what I'm worried about now isn't that you don't want to keep it confidential, but that your method of keeping it confidential isn't right. Right now, I think you've been holding back too much. Everything you do is confidential, confidential, confidential. This kind of thing needs to be done in a way. You can't just blindly do it. According to your method, outsiders don't know what secrets we want to keep, but from your actions, they can find out that you've put a lot of secrets in some places. The confidentiality system isn't aimed at the contents of the secret, but it's to make the army more disciplined. That means not going to places that you shouldn't go, not asking about things that you shouldn't ask about, and not saying things that you shouldn't say. This is confidentiality. You can experience it yourself. "
When Ruan Xihao first heard this, he was a little confused. However, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Vézé's words might be a warning to Ruan Xihao, "Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about." Even though he understood this point, his curiosity grew. Did Vézé really have a comprehensive plan? His desire to find out the truth grew stronger. However, after understanding his own thoughts, Ruan Xihao had to admit that curiosity was a human's instinct. Seeing those secrets, everyone wanted to know about them. Just like what Vézé said just now, confidentiality should be a system, and confidentiality really was a science.
"Also, don't have too high of an expectation for the wireless telegram. Right now, our technical level isn't good enough, and there are still many problems. Of course, the technical department will solve it as soon as possible, but I don't know when it will be completely solved. When the wireless telegram department arrives, you will know the specific problem. "Vézé explained to Ruan Xihao. Following this explanation, Vézé found that he wanted to return to Nanjing as soon as possible. The impact of technological progress on a society was too great. Previously, Vézé forced himself to focus on politics. How could he not know that there were too many flaws in industrial development? But choosing the lesser of two evils, Vézé could only choose to solve the most urgent problem.
Just like the wireless telegram. In 1883, the king of invention, Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison was looking for the best filament material for electric light bulbs. He once did a small experiment. He installed a small piece of copper wire near the carbon filament inside the vacuum electric light bulb, hoping that the copper wire could prevent the carbon filament from evaporating. However, he failed. He accidentally discovered that the copper wire, which was not connected to the circuit, generated a weak current because of the hot electrons emitted by the carbon filament. At that time, Thomas Edison was concentrating on the city's power system and didn't pay attention to this phenomenon. But he applied for a patent for this discovery and named it the "Thomas Edison Effect."
In 1904, the world's first electronic diode was created under the hands of British physicist Fleming, which made the Thomas Edison Effect practical. Fleming also obtained the patent for this invention.
In 1906, the American inventor DeForest Lee cleverly added a grid between the filament and plate of the diode, and thus invented the first vacuum triode.
Vézé's industrial team had actually "discovered" the Thomas Edison Effect long ago. The problem was that this fundamental physics had not yet become a complete system. People only looked for information from Europe, especially from the Royal Academy of Sciences. Maxwell first explained the theoretical basis of electromagnetic wave propagation in his paper "The Dynamic Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" that he submitted to the Royal Society. His work was completed between 1861 and 1865.
Under the direction of Vézé, China was the first to complete the generator and motor. Electromagnetic theory developed well in China. In the laboratory, which had strict security measures, the triode was created in early 1868. But due to technical problems, the vacuum tube production process was not good enough. Burning the tube when it was turned on became the norm. After more than half a year of hard work, the transfer of many of the latest technicians, under a set of strict operating rules, the life of the vacuum triode was finally extended to hundreds of hours. Coupled with the fact that the Tsingtao had personally joined the war, Vézé had no choice but to accept the inevitability of the spread of technology. Vézé finally made up his mind to put the wireless telegram into use. In Vézé's original plan, the wireless telegram would be put into use in 1872 after the decision to go to war with England was made.
