Material Empire

"My God, young man, you know too much."

From Qin Hai's eyes, Gemo was sure that the other party knew his details, and the phrase "Old Gemo" was not just called out casually. But who leaked this internal title to this young man? If he has a close relationship with people in his own circle, there is no reason for him to know nothing about him.

"Young man, who is your teacher? Have you ever studied in the United States?" Gemmer asked thoroughly, forgetting his purpose of calling Qin Hai to power.

"I said, old man Gummer, this is not a place suitable for reminiscing about old times. If you are interested in my experience, we can find a tavern after the meeting. I will buy you a drink... Well, let me think about it, you My favorite should be sherry wine without ice, am I right?" Qin Hai teased the old gentleman with great interest, and he wanted to make Germer wonder about his own wine for the rest of his life. origin.

"You are so scary, you just came out of hell." Gemo muttered, but he didn't know that he had told the truth unintentionally. Didn't Qin Hai just come out of hell again? However, who would believe this kind of words?

"Okay, I'm waiting for you to invite me to drink sherry without ice. Now, please tell everyone why you encourage Miss Tranquility to continue researching on iron-based superconductivity, don't you have Is it the ability to predict the prophet?" Germer finally brought the topic back to the topic.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it." Qin Hai nodded, and then said to the experts in the microphone:

"I am very glad to have this opportunity to meet with the elites in the material industry around the world, and I am very grateful to everyone for their high evaluation of the keynote speech by my fiancé, Miss Tranquility.

Just now, Mr. Gemmer asked me to explain why he supported Ms. Ning Jing's research on iron-based superconductivity, so let me just say a few words. Mr. Gemmer is right. Ms. Tranquility can persevere in the field of iron-based superconductivity because I have given her the necessary and continuous support. Daqin Group, which I am in charge of, is a large-scale enterprise in China that specializes in material technology research and development and material production. We own companies in many fields such as steel, ceramics, glass, polymer materials, and rare earth materials.

As an important material facing the new century, superconducting materials are also the direction of the Group's focus on development. With the support of Professor Chen Zongze and his team, our group has obtained more than 40 application patents on copper-based superconducting materials. The communication departments and railway departments under the Chinese government are applying our technology to improve their services. Specifically The results will be seen soon.

I believe everyone is very clear about the defects of copper-based superconductors. First of all, this type of material lacks good enough machinability, and it is difficult to be used to manufacture superconducting parts with complex shapes; second, the upper limit of the critical temperature of copper-based superconductivity has been confirmed in theory, and its future development will not be able to reach the normal state temperature zone.

In this case, we must look for new materials to replace copper-based superconductivity, and the hypothesis of iron-based superconductivity proposed by my suitor Ning Jing deeply attracted me and made me willing to work in this direction. Invest sufficient funds in order not to miss any possible opportunity. In my opinion, the investment of tens of millions of dollars is insignificant compared with a possible opportunity, which is also an important reason why our Daqin Group can rank among the top in the world in the field of materials.

In fact, in addition to iron-based superconductivity, our group has also invested heavily in hundreds of promising material research fields, and these researches have achieved fruitful results. In this annual meeting, researchers from our group will More than a dozen conference papers will be read out, introducing their respective research achievements. "

Qin Hai opened his mouth and confessed endlessly. Hearing the old man Gemo nod repeatedly, Tranquility frowned slightly beside him. If it wasn't for being in front of everyone, she really wanted to take the microphone away from Qin Hai's hand. , Let him stop being ashamed in this place.

People asked Qin Hai why he had confidence in iron-based superconductors, but Qin Hai answered irrelevant questions and used this opportunity to advertise for his Daqin Group. You must know that the people in this room are all academic masters in the material field. They come to this place for academic discussions. Who cares about the business philosophy of your company?

Tranquility didn't know that Qin Hai had his own considerations when he said this. Firstly, Qin Hai's confidence in iron-based superconductivity comes from Qin Hai's foresight, which cannot be disclosed to outsiders anyway, so he can only talk about it. Secondly, Qin Hai originally came to this annual meeting with the idea of ​​promoting products and technologies. Given such an opportunity to advertise, why not do it?

Tranquility is the first time to participate in this kind of international academic annual meeting, and I don't know the depth of the water. Qin Hai had participated in similar conferences many times in his previous life, and he knew that not only academics but also business were held in this conference. Not all the participating scholars are from universities and scientific research institutes, and many of them are research directors of commercial companies, who are extremely sensitive to business opportunities. In addition, even among academics in colleges and universities, some people also work part-time as consultants in companies, and they also have business backgrounds.

Western companies attach great importance to industry-university-research collaboration, and they often look for possible business opportunities at such academic conferences. In many cases, the technologies developed by some scholars have great application prospects, but these scholars themselves may not realize it. At this time, companies will take the initiative to contact scholars, or buy out their research results, or fund their further development. All of these activities will take place at the annual meeting, and no one will feel unhappy because the annual meeting is tainted with the smell of copper.

In the eyes of scholars, it is also a good thing for them to have commercial companies involved in the annual meeting. Today's scientific research can no longer be done with just a few pieces of draft paper, but requires a lot of equipment and materials as support, or simply put, it needs the support of a big sponsor. Materials science research is particularly costly. It is very common for millions or tens of millions of dollars to be thrown in without hearing a sound. Without the backing of commercial companies, many researches would simply not be sustainable.

Qin Hai's confession sounded vulgar to Tranquility, but to all the scholars present, it was like gospel. Just because he realized the defects of copper-based superconductors and had some expectations for iron-based superconductors, this mysterious Chinese businessman was able to invest tens of millions of dollars to support his girlfriend in the research of finding a needle in a haystack. What a courageous benefactor this is.

Of course, everyone didn't think that Qin Hai supported Tranquility alone. Behind Tranquility, there should be Chen Zongze and a larger team from Capital University. As for why it was a graduate student like Tranquility who finally came out to give the keynote speech, it was naturally because of her special relationship with Qin Hai, and everyone can understand this.

For a moment, many people's eyes were fixed on Qin Hai, wondering what useful things they could get from this young man. For those commercial companies who want to find a good project at the annual meeting, they think about whether they can cooperate with Daqin Group and jointly manage the technical projects in the hands of Daqin Group. Those scholars who are only talented but lack financial resources secretly plan to find time to meet this young man, ask him for alms, and get millions to complete their research. Of course, begging for money will not be unconditional. After one's own research is completed, the research results will naturally be shared with the sponsor, which is also the practice in the circle.

"Miss Ning, now I'm even more jealous of you. If I were a lady, I would definitely compete with you. I hope I can have a boyfriend who is both capable and far-sighted." Gemo shrugged and said to Tranquility Said.

"Mr. Gemo, please forgive Qin Hai. It's his first time participating in this kind of annual academic meeting. He doesn't understand the rules. I'll go and ask him to stop saying these inappropriate words." Tranquility said to Gemo in embarrassment.

Gemo smiled and waved his hands, and said: "No, no, Miss Ning, Mr. Qin spoke very well, and I think what he said was what the scholars on the field wanted to hear. I think you are too disrespectful to your fiancé Understood, he may indeed be participating in the International Materials Annual Conference for the first time, but he is definitely not a person who does not understand the rules. On the contrary, he is very familiar with the rules, just as he knows that I like to drink sherry without ice Like wine."

"Really?" Only then did Tranquility realize that the people in the audience were not booing. On the contrary, everyone was staring at Qin Hai with piercing eyes, as if they were very interested in what he had to say. Reminiscent of Qin Hai's calmness and calmness in various academic occasions before, Tranquility suddenly felt that he really didn't know much about Qin Hai. ah.

Qin Hai didn't speak for too long, and he also knew that Germer asked him to come on stage just to liven up the atmosphere, not to let him sell dog skin plasters here for a long time. After conveying the information he wanted to convey, he smiled slightly at everyone and said: "Sorry, I think I have taken up too much of your time. If you are interested in our Daqin Group, or want to cooperate with us, you can Contact us after the meeting, I am staying at the Brophy Hotel with my assistants, and I am ready for everyone to come and advise.”

Having said this, he held the microphone with both hands, imitating the appearance of singers he had seen in later generations, and bowed deeply to everyone. The audience immediately responded with warm applause, which sounded louder than the applause given to Ning Jing just now.

After all, the world still talks about money, and a billionaire is naturally much more eye-catching than a graduate student.
