Material Empire

This meeting has reached this point, and it really can't continue. Fortunately, it was lunch time, and Yang Xinyu made a timely haha, announcing that the morning meeting will end here, and everyone will have dinner and rest together, and discuss the rest of the matter in the afternoon.

Everyone is smart and knows how to advance and retreat. Hearing Yang Xinyu say this, all the people seemed to have forgotten the scene of swords and swords at once. They all put on a relaxed face, stood up one after another, and greeted their colleagues loudly to show your happiness. Several business leaders walked directly to Yang Xinyu's side, calling them nicknames like "Old Yang" and "Xinyu", without mentioning the topic just discussed.

A group of people walked towards the small cafeteria of the Machinery Committee in a noisy manner. No one noticed that Qin Hai fell behind everyone, and joined Zhang Daiwei who also walked behind with his head down.

"Zhang Gong, are you going to eat?" Qin Hai greeted in a normal tone.

"Huh?" Zhang Daiwei didn't expect someone to greet him, and was a little surprised for a while. When he realized that it was Qin Hai who greeted him, he gave a wry smile and said, "It's Mr. Qin, I'm not going to eat anymore, what I said at the meeting just now...you understand."

"That's just right. I can't find a place to eat. There is a small restaurant outside the Machinery Committee. The beer duck is pretty good. Why don't we try it?" Qin Hai didn't feel anything about Zhang Daiwei's situation, and smiled. invited.

"You and me?" Zhang Daiwei was even more surprised. He looked around and was convinced that what Qin Hai said just now was to himself, so he replied, "Boss Qin, you should go with the leaders. Eating is the only thing, you are the VIP."

"What kind of VIP am I? I'm just like you, I'm a technical person." Qin Hai said, and while speaking, guided Zhang Daiwei to walk out of the courtyard of the Machinery Committee.

Zhang Daiwei didn't know how to reject Qin Hai's kindness, so he could only follow Qin Hai half-heartedly, and asked in surprise, "I heard that Mr. Qin's Daqin Industrial Group is a large enterprise, and you are the chairman. What about technology?"

"I started a business by relying on technology." Qin Hai explained, "Have you heard of Anhe Institute of Materials?"

"Of course I've heard of it." Zhang Daiwei said, "That's the Whampoa Military Academy in our country's material science field. It has produced too many achievements in the past few years."

"Whampoa Military Academy? This statement is quite interesting." Qin Hai smiled, "You may not know that the Anhe Institute of Materials is a subsidiary of our Daqin Group."

"What did you say?" Zhang Daiwei stopped subconsciously, opened his mouth wide, hesitated for a while, and then asked in a guessing tone: "President Qin, what do you mean... you and An He Does the School of Materials have a cooperative relationship?"

"It's not a cooperative relationship, but an affiliation relationship. Anhe Materials College is affiliated to Daqin Industrial Group. By the way, Anhe Province also holds a small part of the equity because it provides land for the college, but the proportion is small and can be ignored. Anhe School of Materials is ours." Qin Hai said.

From the conversation between Zhang Daiwei and him just now, Qin Hai knew that Zhang Daiwei didn't have a deep understanding of Daqin Group, and he didn't know how important he was as the chairman. Zhang Daiwei must have heard of the name Daqin Group, but because they are not in the same industry, and because employees of state-owned enterprises have natural contempt for private enterprises, Zhang Daiwei doesn't think there is anything special about Daqin Group. If Zhang Daiwei knew that Qin Hai was actually the chairman of such a large company, he would have been too frightened to move forward.

The current result is just like this. Hearing that the famous Anhe Institute of Materials is actually a subsidiary of Daqin Group. In other words, Qin Hai himself is the boss of Anhe Institute of Materials. Zhang Daiwei's surprise is beyond words. He has no feelings for the Daqin Group at all, but he has always admired the Anhe Institute of Materials. However, in such a college, thousands of top materials scholars in the country are all subordinates of the chairman who is younger than himself. Zhang Daiwei feels that his brain is not enough.

"Then...then...your Daqin Group...how could it be possible to support such a big academy?" Zhang Daiwei stammered and asked.

Qin Hai smiled and said: "This question is not urgent, let's go and order the food and drink first, and talk slowly. The lunch break is quite long, I guess the leaders don't eat so fast, we have plenty of time to talk about these things. "

"Well, okay..." Zhang Daiwei could only do as Qin Hai wanted, he felt that he had no right to argue in front of Qin Hai.

The two of them left the Machinery Committee compound, turned a corner, and found a small restaurant. The facade of the restaurant is not big, but it is quite tidy. Through the bright glass windows, you can see that there are not many people eating inside, and the environment is quite good.

Qin Hai had been to this small restaurant once before, and now he walked in familiarly, found a seat for two by the window, let Zhang Daiwei sit down, and then explained the names of a few dishes to the waiter who came over. The waiter agreed and went to prepare the dishes.

"Zhang Gong, do you often come to the capital?" Qin Hai sat across from Zhang Daiwei, chatting casually.

"Well, I've been here a few times, always for meetings." Zhang Daiwei responded.

"What kind of work do you do in Beidian Group?" Qin Hai asked again.

Zhang Daiwei sighed: "I am a student of automobile manufacturing. I have worked in Beidian Group for seven or eight years. I have done everything, including model design, technology, equipment, and materials. A typical panacea."

Qin Hai smiled and said, "Does this count as hard work for the capable?"

"Barely count." Zhang Daiwei was not modest, and replied directly, "Beidian Group imported American models, and there is actually nothing to do in terms of design. The task of our technical department is mainly to solve the problems of production technology. It also involves testing, procurement, etc. The knowledge structure of those old engineers is a bit aging, and their foreign language foundation is not as good as mine, so many things can only be provoked by me.”

"Including new energy vehicles?" Qin Hai asked intentionally.

"New energy vehicles?" Zhang Daiwei sneered, "Mr. Qin, you don't think our Mr. Wang really wants to develop new energy vehicles?"

"Doesn't he still want to make a world-class car engine?" Qin Hai asked rhetorically.

Zhang Daiwei hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Qin, in fact, you know very well that our Beidian Group intends to build a world-class engine, because it is unrealistic. It took money to build an engine research center, and it took several years and hundreds of millions of dollars to make an engine with its own technology. As for whether it can reach world-class, they don’t care. With this engine, they Then we can explain it to the higher authorities, because the country has been talking about independent innovation for the past two years, and the leaders are under too much pressure."

"That is to say, in fact, you all know that first-class engines cannot be produced?" Qin Hai said.

Zhang Daiwei said: "The leaders and directors all understand it in their hearts. They just want to get money from the state. As for whether they can get the engine in the end, they don't particularly care. If it is not possible, buy one from abroad. The obsolete models can be changed over here, and they will be able to make a difference. Whether it is world-class or not is up to the experts, and the experts..."

Having said that, he smiled and stopped talking. Qin Hai gave him a knowing smile, expressing that he understood what he meant. There are only a few experts in the automobile industry, and most of them have very good relationships with large automobile companies such as Beidian and Pujiang. At that time, it will be very easy to invite them to hold an appraisal meeting and randomly issue an appraisal report, saying how many technologies have reached the world's first-class. As for whether this world-class engine can be put into production and whether it can be accepted by consumers, that is a matter of different opinions and wisdom.

"You mentioned new energy vehicles at the meeting today. Do you really think that new energy vehicles have a future?" Qin Hai asked another question.

"Of course there is a future." Speaking of this issue, Zhang Daiwei's spirit came, and he said: "Mr. Qin, I don't know if you understand new energy technology. At present, international research on new energy vehicles is very hot. It can be roughly divided into several directions. One is the traditional storage battery model. At present, the most promising is the lithium battery technology invented by the Japanese. Lithium battery has the advantages of high voltage, high specific energy, no memory effect, and no pollution. Compared with our current Widely used lead-acid batteries are more suitable as a power source for new energy vehicles."

"I've heard about this too." Qin Hai replied with a faint smile. In fact, he has not only heard about it, but in the Anhe School of Materials, there is a research team that is researching lithium battery technology. The research direction is designated by Qin Hai, which is to use lithium phosphate and lithium manganate as batteries. The cathode material will replace the lithium cobalt oxide proposed by Japanese scholars. Once this research is completed, the cost of lithium batteries will be greatly reduced, and the safety will also be greatly improved.

Zhang Daiwei didn't understand Qin Hai's work, so he continued to say: "The second way is to use fuel cell technology. Currently, due to the high cost, fuel cells are only used in the aerospace industry; the third way is to use fuel cells. One is hydrogen engine technology, which depends on the development of hydrogen storage materials; in addition, there is supercapacitor technology, which is a little farther away, but some scholars are very optimistic about it.”

Qin Hai nodded while listening, a little more appreciative of Zhang Daiwei's insight. In the mid-1990s, it was quite farsighted to be able to see several directions of new energy technology. Qin Hai's knowledge is farther than his, but this is due to the cheating of the traversers, which means that the victory is invincible.
