Material Empire

Qin Hai's thinking has always been broad, and Fu Wenbin and others are very used to it. Hearing Qin Hai's question, several people looked at each other, and finally Wang Xiaochen raised the question: "Xiao Qin, are you planning to introduce talents from abroad?"

"Exactly." Qin Hai nodded.

"How much will it cost?" Wang Xiaochen is a person who is used to living a hard life, and his first reaction is to worry about the cost. "The salary of foreign people is dozens of times higher than ours. Can we afford to hire these people?" ?”

"We can't afford to hire full-timers, so it's okay to hire some short-term visiting scholars." Qin Hai replied, "For useful talents, we can invite them to come to China for two months every year to give advice on our research work. In addition , we can also send our scholars abroad to study and learn their technologies. Of course, it will cost some money to do so, but this is also a necessary investment and cannot be saved.”

"Well, what Xiao Qin said is right, you can't save where you should spend money." Fu Wenbin commented, he is more courageous than Wang Xiaochen, and knows these truths.

Wang Xiaochen said with a smile: "Since you leaders have already made a decision, my assistant will be in charge of implementing it. In fact, our School of Materials has invited many experts from abroad in recent years. According to Professor Sun and Professor Zhang, These experts have helped them a lot, and the money is well spent."

"Xiaochen, this matter is up to you." Qin Hai ordered, "You find experts in the college and ask them to help you understand the talent situation of permanent magnet motors. For young and middle-aged scholars in China , find a way to introduce a few, especially talents who can serve as academic leaders. Foreign scholars should make a list, and then contact them separately to see if anyone is willing to cooperate with us. In terms of funding, you report a budget Come here, just prepare according to the quota of 10 million yuan."

"10 million, so much money!" Wang Xiaochen stuck out his tongue, pretending to be surprised. Seeing her like this, everyone burst into laughter.

From the beginning of its establishment, the Anhe Institute of Materials has been a bottomless pit of spending money. The infrastructure of the college alone cost two to three hundred million yuan, and then, buying equipment, buying experimental materials, ordering domestic and foreign books and materials, supporting scholars to study abroad or participating in various academic conferences. No matter what, it will cost one or two hundred million yuan. As for the 10-20 million head-up fee used to pay the scholars, it is not worth mentioning.

As the assistant to the dean, Wang Xiaochen is very clear about the college's expenses. In fact, most of the money is spent from her hands. Just hearing about the 10 million quota is not enough to surprise Wang Xiaochen. She put on this appearance just to express her emotion for the importance of this project.

Today's Wang Xiaochen, of course, is no longer the little girl worker who had never seen money in the Qingfeng factory. She also understands the truth that what you pay, what you get. Over the years, she has seen a lot of scientific research funds invested in the research process, and at the same time, she has also seen huge returns that can be exchanged for tens of millions of profits with just one patent. Although she doesn't know the details of the permanent magnet motor technology, but based on her admiration for Qin Hai, she believes that this must be a good project with huge profits.

"Dean Long, you are familiar with the people in Anhe Electric Factory, can you help me find some knowledgeable engineers to help me work out this plan?" Wang Xiaochen looked at Long Changsheng and asked.

"It's absolutely possible." Long Changsheng said, "The deputy director of the technical department of Anhe Electric Factory is my classmate in college. Give us an idea and determine the research ideas of permanent magnet motors, there must be no problem."

Fu Wenbin asked with some concern: "Xiao Qin, we have only proposed an annexation intention to the province, and the province has not finally agreed. Would it be inappropriate to contact the people of Anhe Electric Factory with great fanfare at this time? Ah? If something happens in the end, it will not be very good."

Qin Hai shook his head and said, "President Fu, don't worry, this matter is already inseparable. Governor Chai personally promised me, what else can happen? It is estimated that the governors will open We will discuss it in a meeting, and then go through the formalities in the relevant departments, and it will take at most half a month before the matter is settled."

"Yeah, it's good that you have such confidence." Fu Wenbin heard Qin Hai's words were so sure, so he didn't say anything more.

Several people chatted for a while about other things in the college, and then the meeting broke up. Accompanied by Wang Xiaochen, Qin Hai came to the experimental building and went straight to Sun Yuzhi's laboratory.

"President Qin, when did you come?" Sun Yuzhi, who was doing experiments, saw Qin Hai, and hurriedly handed over the work to the students around him, and greeted Qin Hai with a smile on his face, shaking hands with Qin Hai.

Qin Hai was not overly polite. He shook hands with Sun Yuzhi and said, "I just went to the province to discuss something with Governor Chai, and then I came to the academy. Come on, Teacher Sun, let's go to your office to talk. .”

"Okay." Sun Yuzhi knew that Qin Hai must have something to discuss with him, so he brought Qin Hai and Wang Xiaochen to his office without saying a word, and after telling them to sit down, he was busy looking for a cup to make tea.

"Mr. Sun, you don't need to be busy. I'll leave after a while." Qin Hai stopped him.

Sun Yuzhi waved his hand and said, "Even if you only sit for a while, you have to drink a cup of tea. This is the minimum etiquette. Let me tell you, Mr. Qin, this is the tea I brought here specially from my hometown. Although it is not famous, But I heard people say that it contains a lot of selenium, and drinking it often has the effect of preventing disease, strengthening the body, and prolonging life."

"Haha, Teacher Sun has also talked about health preservation, it's really not easy." Qin Hai laughed.

Being able to care about health maintenance shows that Sun Yuzhi's life has become more affluent and relaxed. If you worry about financial income all day long, or are entangled in troubles such as applying for projects, you will not have the leisure to talk about prolonging your life. . Seeing that these scholars who were once struggling for livelihood can live a comfortable life under his own protection, Qin Hai felt that he still had a sense of accomplishment.

"Boss Qin, what's the matter with you coming to see me this time?"

Sun Yuzhi put two cups of brewed tea in front of Qin Hai and Wang Xiaochen respectively, then sat opposite Qin Hai, and asked in a low voice.

"Regarding the research on cerium-based permanent magnet materials, how far have you progressed?" Qin Hai asked straight to the point.

Hearing that it was related to professional matters, Sun Yuzhi replied fluently without even thinking about it: "We have completed the research on 15 kinds of cerium-based permanent magnet materials. According to Mr. Qin, we tried to use chromium, Manganese and other elements replace iron, nitrogen and carbon replace boron, and then add trace amounts of heavy rare earth elements to develop cerium-based materials with different magnetic properties. The technical problems of industrial preparation have also been basically solved, and now we are waiting With your order, we can apply for related patents.”

"Haha, are you impatient to wait?" Qin Hai laughed. In order to allow Chunshan Company to sink deeper into the pit of dysprosium-terbium ferroalloy, Qin Hai imposed a ban on Sun Yuzhi, forbidding him to publish research results on cerium-based materials, and not allowing him to apply for related patents. As a scientist, Qin Hai can fully understand the unbearable feeling of itching to see the important achievements he has made cannot be made public.

After Qin Hai broke his mind, Sun Yuzhi smiled awkwardly: "It must be a lie to say that I am not in a hurry. However, for the sake of the company's overall strategy, I can still accept this arrangement. I just hope that I won't be made to wait too long." .”

Qin Haidao: "Mr. Sun is tired, I came to you today just to inform you that it's time to close the net."

"Collect the net?" Sun Yuzhi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what Qin Hai was referring to. He couldn't help standing up, and asked in disbelief, "Boss Qin, you mean...our research results can be released?"

"Yes." Qin Hai said, "According to what we know, Spring Mountain's stockpiling of dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide has reached its limit, and they have also invested tens of millions of dollars in the development of dysprosium-terbium-iron alloy. It is preparing to launch dysprosium-terbium-iron alloy products across the board. The company has decided to release cerium-based superconducting materials immediately, and at the same time apply for relevant patents in major patent agencies around the world, so that Chunshan has no room for maneuver.”

"Great!" Sun Yuzhi shook his fist vigorously. Of course, he could imagine what Qin Hai's hole would do to Chunshan Company, but after staying under the Daqin Group for so many years, his values ​​have been highly assimilated. In his opinion, the group regards Chunshan Company as a competitor, so he has no need to sympathize with this enterprise.

"Liu Ming, Meng Yi, you two come over immediately!" Sun Yuzhi opened the office door and shouted to the laboratory.

Two students, a man and a woman, came over and asked, "Mr. Sun, what's the matter?"

"Both of you, immediately find out the three papers written last year on cerium-based permanent magnet materials, and submit them to the International Journal of Materials, Journal of Magnetic Materials, and Rare Earth Technology. They will be submitted today." Sun Yuzhi was full of enthusiasm commanded.

"Mr. Sun, didn't you say that you can't publish a single word of the article about cerium-based materials?" The boy named Liu Ming asked without realizing it.

"Liu Ming, you're stupid!" The girl named Meng Yi raised her hand and patted Liu Ming's body, scolding, "Didn't Teacher Sun say it? It's not time yet. Now that Teacher Sun said you can If so, then the time must be ripe!"

Liu Ming suddenly realized, and said happily: "Yes, I will go right away! I have saved the addresses of Yimeier in these three publications for more than half a year!"
