Material Empire

In the next few days, Qin Hai took a few staff members of the office to more than a dozen universities and research institutes, and contacted a large number of materials experts he knew well. During the visit, he also found some scholars who are brilliant now but unknown in later generations. Listening to them, it seems that they have already moved the idea of ​​doing business at this time, and are hesitating. Perhaps these one by one This is how stars fade.

Chen Heqian accompanied Qin Hai to some places, but stayed in his office most of the time. However, the phone calls in his office have never stopped these days. Countless colleagues, students, old friends, etc. have called him one after another. The core problem is one: is this kid Qin Hai reliable or not.

Qin Hai made such a big fuss that even Chen Heqian felt uneasy. He never thought that there would be a person who planned to collect all the elites of material science in China for his own use. On the good side, this kind of thing is ambitious; on the bad side, it shakes the foundation of the entire country.

"Xiao Qin, aren't you a bit too greedy?" When seeing Qin Hai again, Chen Heqian couldn't help persuading, "You want to build a materials college, which is a good idea. But you put the best materials in all of China Scientists have been poached away, and they have been poached under your personal name, no matter how you look at it, this is inappropriate, right?"

"I didn't poach all of them. Didn't you still stay in the General Iron and Steel Institute? In fact, I ran down these days, and less than half of the people intend to follow me." Qin Hai smiled and argued.

Chen Heqian looked up to the sky and sighed: "Half is still less! There are only so few available material talents in the whole country, and you took half of them by yourself. Isn't your material school going to compete with the country?"

Qin Hai said sternly: "Mr. Chen, you can make a report to the Education Committee or the Science and Technology Committee right now, and ask them to come forward to fund the establishment of a National Institute of Materials Science and Technology. According to the same treatment, I promise to withdraw completely, and I will never compete with the state. .”

Chen Heqian was speechless: "You know it's impossible, aren't you taking advantage of the fire?"

To put it bluntly, with the strength of the country, it is not impossible to build a school of materials, gather capable and potential materials scholars, and provide good experimental conditions. The point is, you can do this in the field of materials, but what about other fields? For the country, materials are only one of many scientific and technological fields that need support, and it is impossible to favor one over the other. But if every field does this, the country's financial resources will obviously not be able to afford it.

But Qin Hai doesn't have this burden. He is engaged in materials, so he only cares about materials. Life and death in other fields is none of his business. And because he is privately funded, scholars in other fields cannot accuse him of being unfair, but can only lament that there is no monster like Qin Hai in his own field.

Naturally, the State Education Commission and the Science and Technology Commission could not have been unaware of Qin Hai's actions. However, the national policy does not prohibit the flow of talents, and the phenomenon of brain drain in universities and scientific research institutes did not start in Qin Hai, so these two departments are also a little at a loss about this incident, and it is not even clear which department or bureau should intervene Can't figure it out. Some officials with relatively high positions even felt that it would be a good way to have private capital come forward to support scientific research, and adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye to this matter, so in the end everyone tacitly kept silent up.

In the end, Yang Xinyu, the newly promoted deputy director of the State Machinery Committee, couldn't sit still, and called Qin Hai to his office.

"Xiao Qin, long time no see, you have matured a lot." Yang Xinyu's official status rose, and he said this as soon as he saw Qin Hai.

In the past three years, with Qin Hai's assistance, Pusang Automobile's material localization work has achieved fruitful results, which has rapidly increased the localization rate of auto parts to more than 70%, and successfully completed the first phase of localization goals. The new materials and material processing and treatment techniques developed during this process have also been widely used in other fields of the machinery industry, which has promoted the improvement of the technical level of the national machinery industry.

Because of his performance in the localization of Pusang Automobile, Yang Xinyu was promoted to deputy director of the Machinery Committee, replacing Su Chengying who had retired to the second line. After that, he did not see Qin Hai for nearly a year.

"Director Yang, after you were promoted, I haven't congratulated you yet. It's a sin, and I don't know if it's too late to make up for it now." Qin Hai smiled and bowed to Yang Xinyu repeatedly, doing enough to flatter his boss.

Yang Xinyu had dealt with Qin Hai a lot, and knew that this person had never been in good shape, so he didn't care about it. He beckoned Qin Hai to sit down, asked his secretary to come in and pour tea, then sat himself on the sofa beside Qin Hai, and said, "It's not about getting promoted, for me, it's just that the work is several times more than before. I have been doing specific work in Pujiang for the past few years, and when I first came into contact with the overall situation, I was a little flustered, so I haven't chatted with you for a long time."

Qin Hai responded: "It's because I didn't take the initiative to report to Director Yang. In fact, the main reason is that I know that Director Yang is too busy with work, and I'm afraid of delaying your time."

Yang Xinyu waved his hand and said, "For you, there is no such problem. No matter how busy I am at work, I always have time to see you, Xiao Qin. You are flexible and have many ideas. Chatting with you is very helpful to my work. Inspiration. So, you remember, my door here is always open to you."

"I'm ashamed and ashamed. Director Yang trusts me so much, but I didn't take the initiative to share his worries for him. I'm really sorry." Qin Hai said.

Yang Xinyu smiled and said: "If you don't share my worries, I will admit it. But you have caused me trouble, I have to talk to you about this matter."

"Director Yang just said that?" Qin Hai could guess what Yang Xinyu wanted to say, but deliberately pretended to be ignorant, waiting for Yang Xinyu to continue.

Yang Xinyu said: "I heard that you went to the Electromechanical Research Institute yesterday to persuade Yan Shuncheng to come to your place?"

"Director Yang is really perceptive. You will know what happened yesterday." Qin Hai admitted indirectly with a smile on his face.

Yang Xinyu said: "Can I not know, Yan Shuncheng is the first person in our system to engage in cutting tool materials, if he leaves, the research on cutting tools at the Electromechanical Institute will be over."

Qin Haidao: "No way? I know that Mr. Yan is just a deputy chief engineer, and there are two deputy chief engineers in their research room. I didn't let them go. Teacher Yan is gone. I think the two of them should understand I'm very happy, maybe I can also burst out new enthusiasm for scientific research."

"Xiao Qin, why don't you just carry which pot without opening it?" Yang Xinyu said through gritted teeth.

The Mechanical and Electrical Research Institute is an important research institution under the Machinery Committee. Yang Xinyu is a technical cadre himself, so he cares more about the Mechanical and Electrical Research Institute and has a better understanding of its situation. Yang Xinyu knew about the other two deputy chief engineers that Qin Hai was talking about. They were all recruited through fame and qualifications.

Yan Shuncheng is a technical geek, and he became the deputy chief engineer by relying on his own strength. But because of his outstanding achievements, he posed a huge threat to the other two, so he was jointly excluded by the two of them. Yang Xinyu also heard some people report this situation during his research.

Yang Xinyu once thought about solving this problem, but he had no choice but to deal with the intertwined relationships within the system, which would affect his whole body. Yang Xinyu had just been promoted, and it was impossible for him to touch the entire system for the sake of a researcher. It was put on hold. The only thing he could do was to inspect Yan Shuncheng's laboratory in person as the deputy director of the Machinery Committee, and gave him some encouragement in public, which was considered as a support for him. As for the effect, it is another matter.

Yesterday, after Qin Hai visited Yan Shuncheng, Yan Shuncheng hesitated again and again, dialed Yang Xinyu's phone, told Qin Hai's intentions, and timidly expressed his willingness to leave. According to Yan Shuncheng's thinking, Yang Xinyu was kind to him. If he wanted to leave, he should inform Yang Xinyu anyway. Even if Yang Xinyu objected, he would resolutely stay in the Mechanical and Electrical Research Institute.

Yang Xinyu did not express his opinion on the spot, but only expressed his understanding of Yan Shuncheng's choice, saying that he would contact Qin Hai to find out the specific situation, and then give him an answer.

After hanging up Yan Shuncheng's phone call, Yang Xinyu asked the secretary to find out, and only then did he know that Qin Hai's place was not limited to the Mechanical and Electrical Research Institute, but also several other research institutes and universities directly under the Machinery Committee. Some materials experts with a little bit of achievements have all received offers from Qin Hai.

In this way, Yang Xinyu urgently contacted Qin Hai to ask him what happened.

"You should understand better than me what the other two are. If you poach Yan Shuncheng away and keep them, my mechanical and electrical research institute will become a chicken farm." Yang Xinyu said to Qin Hai angrily .

Qin Hai smiled and said: "It turns out that Director Yang also knows that your subordinates are overstaffed, so why didn't you remove them?"

"Do you think it's so easy to withdraw someone?" Yang Xinyu said, "They haven't made any mistakes, and they can produce a few achievements as required in a year. Although those achievements are not as good as Yan Shuncheng, they can still pass the review anyway. Why should I remove them? ? And these two have much more seniority than me, if I get rid of them today, they will be able to go to the central government tomorrow."

"So you can only watch them occupy the latrine and let Teacher Yan pull the cart with a donkey?" Qin Hai asked.

"Why do you have so many witty words!" Yang Xinyu said helplessly, "There are some things, you have to understand, not everything can be done according to our wishes. After all..."

"Stop, stop, do you want to say that we are still in the primary stage?" Qin Hai asked with a smile.

"Elementary stage?" Yang Xinyu rubbed his head, "I didn't intend to say that...but it's quite appropriate for you to say that."
