Material Empire

Hu Zhizhong, the chief engineer of Anhe Electric Factory, felt very pained for a while when he heard that Hongze Electric Factory was acquired by American capital and began to recruit high-level technicians and technicians on a large scale.

A few years ago, the operation of Anhe Electric Factory was in trouble, and the technical department fell into a situation where there was no technology to develop. Later, a Daqin Group finally came and said that it would merge Anhe Electric Machinery Factory, and started the research work on cerium-based rare earth permanent magnet motors ahead of schedule. Hu Zhizhong was quite excited for a while. The next thing poured cold water on Hu Zhizhong. The merger of Daqin Group was rejected, and a Japanese company named Ohara Machinery Co., Ltd. completed the merger of Anhe Electric Factory.

At the beginning of the merger, Hu Zhizhong still had some illusions, thinking that Japanese companies should also attach great importance to technology research and development. Maybe they will devote more energy to the development of new motors than Daqin Group, and they may also bring some new technologies from Japan. Let everyone open their eyes. Who would have thought that after Ohara Corporation merged with Anhe Electric Factory, it adopted a strategy of limiting production and reducing consumption. Not only did it not intend to expand the production scale, but even some of the original production business was shrinking. the meaning of.

Hu Zhizhong went to Mitsumasa Ogura, the Japanese director sent by Ohara Corporation, and asked him about the research and development of rare earth permanent magnet motors. Ogura Mitsumasa was very polite to Hu Zhizhong, saying "Hu Sang" every time, but he gritted his teeth tightly and refused to accept Hu Zhizhong's request. Hu Zhizhong asked the reason, and Mitsumasa Ogura told him: Ohara Corporation does not think that cerium-based rare earth permanent magnet materials have any application prospects, and Ohara Corporation has its own ideas for the research and development of rare earth motors.

Hu Zhizhong also approached Liu Xuping through Chen Hao, and wanted to use this translator who was good at saving the country with curves to blow the wind to Mitsumasa Ogura, so that Mitsumasa Ogura would pay attention to Rare Earth Motors. What made him even more disappointed was that Liu Xuping's answer was more indifferent than that of Ogura Mitsumasa. According to Liu Xuping's point of view, the Japanese are much smarter and more skilled than the Chinese. People don't like things. What qualifications do we have? What about making suggestions?

Hu Zhizhong was completely desperate. He began to calculate his retirement age, thinking that after a few more years, he would leave his job steadily and go home to entertain his grandchildren. Whatever rare earths or electric motors, let them become his life. A piece of cloud in it.

With this idea in mind, Hu Zhizhong began to study the techniques of growing flowers and fishing, and stopped talking about technology development. On the contrary, his assistant, Chen Hao, has been doing a lot of dancing lately. He and Liu Xuping accompany Kokura Mitsumasa to drink flowers and wine, and then go to the ballroom to find prostitutes to discuss the true meaning of life. Hu Zhizhong saw that Chen Hao was becoming more and more like a Japanese day by day, speaking and doing things in a Japanese way, so he could only shake his head and sigh, so he didn't have much to say.

At this time, news came that Hongze Electric Machinery Factory was recruiting workers and was preparing to do a big job. Hu Zhizhong thought that he was unemployed, and his heart was full of envy and hatred.

Some people in the factory are already ready to move, planning to go to Hongze Electric Factory to try their luck. Of course, before the final results came out, these people didn't dare to make too much publicity in the factory. Like the guerrillas hiding from the devils, they secretly hid Kokura Mitsumasa, Liu Xuping, Chen Hao and other "Imperial Association Army" Run to apply for a job, and then secretly come back to discuss with trusted colleagues how to negotiate with the other party.

Hu Zhizhong has a very high prestige in the factory, so many people privately asked him if he wanted to change jobs. To these inquiries, Hu Zhizhong’s answer was nothing more than two points: first, he was very supportive of others moving to the Hongze factory; .

His thoughts continued until a mysterious call came into his office.

"Boss Hu, I'm Xiao Sun, how are you doing recently?"

On the phone, Sun Yuzhi's voice was so intimate that Hu Zhizhong was inexplicably moved.

"It's Professor Sun. I'm pretty good now. How are you doing? Have you made any achievements recently?" Hu Zhizhong asked back.

Sun Yuzhi said: "Well, there is no result, but an article was accepted by the Journal of Physics, and some suggestions for revision were made, but I am a little busy recently, and I can't take care of it. I am asking a few teaching assistants in the laboratory to help me. It's going to be revised."

"Acta Physica? This is one of the top 10 journals, right? Congratulations, Professor Sun." Hu Zhizhong said sincerely. He is engaged in scientific research in an enterprise and does not have too many requirements for publishing papers, so he is only happy with Sun Yuzhi's achievements , there is nothing sour. After the compliment, he asked casually, "Professor Sun, what have you been up to lately? What can be more important than publishing an article in the Journal of Physics?"

"It's all commonplace." Sun Yuzhi said with an exaggerated sigh, "I have a colleague who used to be in a technical university. He studied abroad, and now he is the chief financial officer of an American Semi company, and he came back to invest in China... ..."

"Sami company?" Hu Zhizhong was shocked, "Is it the same company that bought Hongze Electric Factory?"

"Why, Mr. Hu also heard about this?" Sun Yuzhi asked pretending to be surprised.

"Of course I know, they are all colleagues." Hu Zhizhong said, he vaguely guessed Sun Yuzhi's intention to call him, but it was inconvenient to say it directly, just asked: "Why, Professor Sun is also involved in this matter ?”

"Actually, it's not that I want to participate." Sun Yuzhi said in a veiled manner, "My old classmate came to me as soon as he arrived in Hongze, saying that the reason why their Semi Company invested in Anhe was because they liked Anhe's rare earth resources. Among them, our newly developed cerium-based rare earth permanent magnet material is the most attractive. She knew that I was the first to develop the cerium-based permanent magnet material, so she insisted on asking me to help them with product development.”

Hu Zhizhong replied absent-mindedly: "This means that the east side is not bright and the west side is bright. You originally planned to cooperate with Anhe Electric Factory, but it didn't work out. I regret it. Now it's all right. With Semi Company cooperating with you, you should Is it possible to get what you want?"

"In fact, this matter has nothing to do with our Daqin Group." Sun Yuzhi said, "However, if the cerium-based rare earth permanent magnet motor can be successfully developed, it will promote the market promotion of cerium-based permanent magnet materials, which can be regarded as indirectly helping us. Bar."

"Yes, yes, in fact, cerium-based permanent magnet motors still have great market prospects." Hu Zhizhong said perfunctorily. He knew that Sun Yuzhi definitely didn't call him to chat, but it was inconvenient for him to ask Sun Yuzhi's intentions directly, so he could only pretend to be false and wait for Sun Yuzhi to reveal the real purpose.

Sure enough, after a few digressions, Sun Yuzhi got to the point, and said, "By the way, Mr. Hu, I'm calling you today because I have something to ask you. My classmate asked me Ask who is the most authoritative in motor research and development in Anhe Province, and I recommend you to her. She said she would like to visit you, but I don't know if you are convenient."

Hu Zhizhong's heart jumped violently. Although he had expressed to several colleagues that he would not quit, and he had repeatedly persuaded himself not to consider quitting, there was always a feeling in his heart that he couldn't get rid of. Voice: Why not give it a try, why not give your career a glorious end?

Now that he suddenly heard that the Chinese representative of Semi Company wanted to meet him, he originally planned to flatly refuse, but the words came to his throat, but he couldn't say it anyway.

"This...uh, what kind of authority am I? Let's not waste her time..." Hu Zhizhong said in a weak voice.

On the other end of the phone, Sun Yuzhi covered the phone receiver in astonishment, turned to Tian Ruzhi beside him and said, "Mr. Hu said he didn't want to see you..."

"Ms. Sun, aren't you too honest?" Tian Ruzhi, who had been listening to their phone conversation, couldn't laugh or cry, "You didn't realize that, did this old man say something insincere?"

"Is this insincere?" Sun Yuzhi asked in surprise, "Why can't I hear it?"

"Tell him that I just want to meet with him to discuss technical issues and nothing else is involved." Tian Ruzhi taught Sun Yuzhi bitterly.

Only then did Sun Yuzhi put the microphone close to his ear again, but he heard Hu Zhizhong anxiously asking in the microphone: "Professor Sun, Professor Sun, are you listening? Don't get me wrong, I mean... I'm afraid to delay your colleague her time, after all, her time is also very precious, I have nothing to do."

Tian Ruzhi covered her mouth and didn't dare to laugh out loud. This old man really put on too much, and he is busy withdrawing his words now.

Sun Yuzhi is also a person with a high enough IQ. After hearing Tian Ruzhi's point, and then listening to Hu Zhizhong's explanation, he realized the truth. He smiled and said into the microphone: "Boss Hu, don't worry, Director Tian said Yes, she just wants to meet with you and ask some technical questions, nothing else is involved, but she doesn't know if your time is convenient or not."

"Convenience, convenience." Hu Zhizhong said repeatedly, "I don't have anything to do now, and I am more interested in discussing technical matters."

"Well, tomorrow at 12:00 noon, there will be Jiaxinghai Restaurant next to People's Square. Director Tian would like to invite you to meet there. Do you think it would be suitable?" Sun Yuzhi asked Hu Zhizhong according to the time and place that Tian Ruzhi wrote to him. asked.

"Appropriate, I know that restaurant. Please tell Director Tian, ​​I will be there on time at 12 o'clock." Hu Zhizhong responded readily, he was really worried that the opportunity would slip through his fingers.

"Boss Hu agreed." Sun Yuzhi put down the phone and said to Tian Ruzhi with a smile, "The next thing is to see how you persuade him to come."

"To convince Mr. Hu, it is not enough to rely on me alone. Mr. Zhou must be invited to come forward." Tian Ruzhi said.

I just came back from a business trip...By the way, I would like to recommend a friend's new book "I have too many clones". This should be a cool mix of space essays and clone essays, right? Well, it should be cool
