Chapter 8, I have a dream
"Thank you all for your appreciation for your appearance and attending Qingquan Technology's job fair. To be honest, I didn't expect that there would be so many students. Please forgive me if the reception is not good." Liu Qingquan's clear and loud voice reached everyone's ears in the conference hall very clearly.
"I can't help but give it to you, and there's nothing to introduce. After all, it's just a few months old. I think many classmates think I'm a liar. After all, who would start any high-tech enterprise in a mountainous area like Liuyun Town? I think few companies will give you an annual salary starting at 120,000, but I did it because I have a dream."
"Two years ago, I graduated like everyone here. I was also confused like everyone else. Although I graduated from Tsinghua University, I was born in the countryside and my family was poor. I couldn't study abroad like other classmates in my class and continued to study for graduate students and doctoral students. My parents are old and my younger brother needs to study. As the eldest son of the family, I must come out to take on my due responsibilities." Liu Qingquan's words reminded Jiang Zhipeng of himself, and it was so similar, and a sense of common sense arises naturally.
"But, do you know how much I just got an annual salary? 200,000 yuan! It seems to be quite a lot, but in Beijing, the house price in Beijing is 160,000 yuan per square meter. It costs 5,000 yuan for a basement, and 50 yuan for a meal. This amount of money is simply the lowest level in Beijing, right? Yes, that's right, a Tsinghua University graduated with only this salary, and my unit is a research institute, which is pretty good." Liu Qingquan's words surprised hundreds of people in the audience. In everyone's impression, Tsinghua University is a pride of heaven.
"Do you know the lives of those locals in Beijing? I'm talking about ordinary people. Most local old Beijing has several houses, dozens of houses, and hundreds of houses are not uncommon. A house is easy to do and tens of millions, and a good location is even tens of millions. We calculate based on a house of 80 square meters. Generally, what they use to rent is divided into many small rooms. An 80 square meters house can create 10 rooms. Each room is rented for 5,000 yuan. A house is rented for 50,000 yuan a month, which is 600,000 yuan a year. I earn three times my income. We just calculate it so simply, and most of them have several houses, and the rent is much more expensive than the basement. I worked hard to do scientific research every month and the income after a year of research was not as good as a landlady, haha~~" Liu Qingquan's words made everyone fall into deep thoughts.
"I'll tell you something else. When you go home during the Chinese New Year, everyone knows that it's very crowded, especially coastal areas, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, etc. Beijing Railway Station has to crowd millions of people in one day. What is the concept of millions? If you stand in it, you can't see the edge, and there are crowds of people. Everyone endures more than twice as expensive as usual and endures the high prices along the way, just to be able to reunite with their family, eat, chat, and go to relatives and friends when they go home during the Chinese New Year. But after the Chinese New Year, everyone has to embark on a road of rushing, leave their hometowns, work hard, pay rent, pay taxes, etc., and be disliked by others, calling you a foreigner, a rustic guy, etc., but we still endure it the same for life."
Listening to Liu Qingquan's words, Jiang Zhipeng remembered his parents. He used to complain that his parents didn't have time to accompany him, but now he realized that everything was for life and for himself to have money to go to school.
"Why is all this? What causes it? Why do people who work hard cannot get the respect they should have? Do any classmates know that they can raise their hands to speak?" Liu Qingquan and the other three made the entire conference hall fall into deep thought.
"Because the coastal areas were the earliest areas for reform and opening up," a student stood up and said.
"Because of unbalanced development"
"Performance of Market Effect"
...
Liu Qingquan smiled and listened to one answer after another, nodded and said, "Everyone is right, because the coastal areas were the earliest reform and opening up areas. The country has concentrated resources and strength to prioritize the development of coastal areas, creating a miracle that has attracted the attention of the world for decades. Our GDP is almost surpassing the United States, but this kind of development is unbalanced, the coastal areas are becoming more and more developed, but the central and western regions have not yet risen. More than 1 billion people in the country are crowded on the coast. Can housing prices not fly to the sky? Can locals not exploit you forever? Can young people not be tired and exhausted?"
The powerful words made everyone bow their heads and ponder.
Liu Qingquan drank a sip of water and continued: "If there is a problem, it must be solved. I think the country has also tried hard and tried it, such as promoting the rise of the central and western regions, revitalizing the old industrial base in the northeast, and developing the western region, etc., but there is a 'aggregation effect' in economics, which is that many enterprises can generate excess benefits after the industries gather together. Merchants are seeking profits. The foundation in the central and western regions is poor, the transportation is inconvenient, and the quality of human resources is not good, etc., and enterprises still like to choose coastal areas. It is still difficult to develop in the central and western regions. The gap is getting bigger and bigger. What should we do?"
Liu Qingquan asked another question, and hundreds of people frowned and began to think.
Liu Qingquan smiled and continued, "Didn't I say I had a dream at the beginning? Yes, I have a dream that is different from the dream of Martin Luther, an American black man. My dream is that every family can return to their hometown together after work, no matter where they work, study, and live in a small rental house without having to endure the high rent. My dream is that everyone can eat food and vegetables they grow by themselves, no matter how expensive supermarket vegetables or genetically modified ones; my dream is that all Chinese people can treat the earth as a paradise, go to the Amazon rainforest to fish for piranhas today, and go to the African grassland to watch lion hunting tomorrow, instead of lying in the rental house and counting their pitiful salary; my dream is that everyone can surf in Hawaii after working hard, go to Tibet to see the snowy mountains, and go to Australia to fight kangaroos...
Liu Qingquan was high and excitedly sounded in the conference hall. Hundreds of people were deeply moved by his ideals. Many people sitting stood up. Jiang Zhipeng clenched his fists excitedly. Liu Qingquan's ideal life is what we should live.
After a long time, Liu Qingquan's words slowly calmed down. A head with a high-speed rail locomotive was projected on the projector in the conference hall, with a head that looked like a high-speed rail locomotive, and the tail was almost the same as an ordinary car.
Liu Qingquan smiled and said, "Do you think I'm crazy and dreaming in the daytime? I think people all over the world will go crazy for me, but I can tell the world very clearly that I am very awake, I know what I am saying, and I know how to do it. To achieve all this, I have thought of a key, that is transportation?"
Jiang Zhipeng was puzzled at first why he showed such a picture. When he heard the word "traffic", he suddenly realized and nodded unconsciously.
"In ancient times, humans basically had to travel by walking. Horses were tall, handsome and rich. Ordinary people could only move within a county in their lifetime. Stephenson, a British man, developed the first steam locomotive in 1814, known as the "father of the train". Since then, human activities have been greatly expanded, and a person's range of activities can reach the scope of many provinces; the German Karl Benz invented the car, greatly broadening the scope of activities of humans, and life has become even more different. In the words of the colonial era, Europeans can drink green tea made from China, add sugar from India, add some Australian milk, eat Brazilian barbecue made by Indian servants, and enjoy the massage of Filipino maids; since the American Wright brothers designed the first plane in 1903, humans have really begun to enter the village era. You can listen to my dreams now and go to the United States to watch basketball games at night."
Liu Qingquan's words instantly made everyone laugh.
"But I think all this is not enough. The cost of airplanes is too expensive and is not suitable for ordinary people at all. Moreover, airports are usually built in remote places, so it is very inconvenient to go back and forth. When I went home during the Chinese New Year, I heard a child's words at the train station, saying that it would be great if the car could be like a plane, and we could fly home to see our grandma every day. When I heard this sentence, I felt like I was electrocuted, yes! What a simple truth, why didn't I think of it?" Liu Qingquan's words shocked everyone here deeply. Oh my God! He is really awesome. If you want to make such a flying car, is this possible?
Liu Qingquan continued excitedly: "It is very simple to realize my dream. It is to develop a car that can fly. It needs to be able to take off and land vertically and fly to any corner of the earth within an hour. It must be about the same size as a car. More importantly, its cost must be in line with the consumption capacity of ordinary people. The price must be cheap and the fuel consumption cannot be too great."
"So I returned to my hometown, Liuyun Town, General County, that poor mountainous area. I want to use my own wisdom, hard work, ability and struggle to change my own destiny, change the destiny of my family, change the destiny of my hometown, change the destiny of our ordinary people, change the destiny of our nation, the country, and even the world!"
Liu Qingquan's series of changes made Liu Qingquan clench his fists excitedly, and he was very excited. For the first time, Liu Qingquan expressed his inner dream in front of many people. The hundreds of people in the conference hall were deeply shocked by Liu Qingquan's speech. His heart was also surging and surging. Many passionate people all turned red with excitement. Among them, Jiang Zhipeng was even more clenched with fists tightly.
