Material Empire

Ning Zhongying's words can be said to wake up the dreamer. Qin Hai understands that it is impossible for him to get stuck with the scholars in the Materials Academy. Compensating for a good reputation is definitely a move that is not worth the candle.

A few years ago, the country was in financial difficulties and could not spend money on scientific research. In the eyes of leaders at all levels, scientific research personnel were just burdens. Under such circumstances, Qin Hai established the School of Materials Science and poached away these struggling scholars. For various universities and scientific research institutes, it was not a loss, but a sense of relief that the burden was lightened.

As for those scholars who were poached, they lived in Tongzilou with low wages in their original units, but they were able to earn high salaries and live in luxury houses in the School of Material Science and Technology. Naturally, they were also full of gratitude to Qin Hai.

Therefore, at that time, Qin Hai had a good reputation in scientific research circles, and even a long-sighted official like Yang Xinyu had to admit that Qin Hai's actions were beneficial to the country, and it was a kind of sharing the country's worries. move.

Times have changed, after so many years, the country's financial resources have gradually become abundant, and the pressure of international high-tech competition has also forced the government and enterprises to begin to pay attention to scientific research. Those scholars who were abandoned by them in the past have now become sweet pastries, and everyone wants to catch them. Put a few under your nose, work when you are busy, and keep your eyes when you are free.

As for the scholars themselves, after several years in the School of Material Science, they have all earned some money. Food and clothing are no longer a problem, and they have begun to pay attention to their fame and status. In contrast, although the temple of the School of Materials is very popular, its godhead is obviously not comparable to units such as the Academy of Sciences, Huaqing, and Beijing University. To put it bluntly, if you want to select an academician, Changjiang scholar, outstanding youth, etc., how many places can the School of Materials get? Compared with those colleagues who stayed in the original unit, these scholars who jumped to the School of Materials have produced more brilliant results in these years. At this time, returning with heavy papers is enough to blind everyone's eyes.

Under such circumstances, if Qin Hai wanted to play the emotional card or the institutional card and stuck with these scholars, he would only offend everyone. Those units that want people have some background, and when the time comes to ask for people with the approval from the central government, Qin Hai can only let go. Instead of being a human being, it is better to take the initiative and claim to be free to come and go, and maybe you can earn back a good reputation of "knowing the general situation and taking into account the overall situation".

Scholars like Yan Shuncheng benefited a lot from Qin Hai back then, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Hai has greatly favored them. If Qin Hai hadn't interfered with their departure, then this kindness would have been owed forever. Ning Zhongying was right. Generally speaking, these people had a conscience. In the future, they would give Daqin Group a little affection in their respective units, which would be enough to make up for the loss caused by their departure.

After thinking about these things, Qin Hai immediately felt relieved. As for what to do next, there is no need for Ning Zhongying to teach him, he has enough IQ to do this matter perfectly.

Qin Hai stayed in Pingyuan for two days, accompanied his parents and father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then set off for Beijing. Since he already planned to return the scholars in the academy, he had to take the initiative instead of passively waiting for others to find him.

"What did you say? Return Yan Shuncheng to the Electromechanical Research Institute?"

Yang Xinyu, deputy minister of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, stared at Qin Hai sitting in front of him with wide eyes, and asked in surprise.

The request for instructions on transferring Yan Shuncheng back to the Electromechanical Research Institute has been in Yang Xinyu's hands for a long time. This report was put forward by the Electromechanical Research Institute itself, and there are seven or eight reasons listed in it. Although the most important one has not been written, Yang Xinyu knows it well, that is, the country's major issues. There are more and more topics, but the mechanical and electrical research institute lacks talents and cannot afford it. The leaders of the institute scratched their heads and had no choice but to come up with Yan Shuncheng's idea, and wanted to invite him to come back to take the lead in scientific research.

From the bottom of his heart, Yang Xinyu also very much hopes that Yan Shuncheng can come back. Although Qin Hai's School of Materials can also undertake some subjects of the Mechanical Department system, the people under his command are not as good as his own. Yan Shuncheng has made remarkable achievements in these years, and his reputation is far better than when he left the Mechanical and Electrical Research Institute. Yang Xinyu admired him very much back then, and now he is full of expectations.

However, holding the application report from the Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Yang Xinyu's hands and face were burning like a stick of hot charcoal, and he couldn't figure out how to say this to Qin Hai.

Think about it, such a good talent, I couldn't give good treatment back then, which made them almost want to go abroad and go to sea. It was Qin Hai who raised these talents with his own personal money, gave them treatment, and created conditions for their scientific research so that their academic research would not be interrupted. This is how Yan Shuncheng and others are today. When planting a tree, I didn't water it at all. When the fruit is ripe, I stretch out my hand to pick it. Isn't that a bit shameful?

The leadership team of the Mechanical and Electrical Research Institute did not feel this way. They made an offer to Yan Shuncheng through private channels, but Yan Shuncheng declined politely. These people concluded that Yan Shuncheng must have been threatened by Qin Hai, so they turned around and tried hard on Yang Xinyu, insisting that the Mechanical Department come forward to put pressure on Qin Hai, forcing Qin Hai to release him. In order to get Yang Xinyu to follow suit, they also hinted that if the ministry can't do this, then the research institute will not be able to undertake the subjects of the ministry, such as the high-speed turning tool project and the superhard alloy grinding tool project. The delay went on.

Yang Xinyu was in a dilemma for more than ten days, and finally made up his mind to exchange his old face with Qin Hai for Yan Shuncheng. Hearing that Qin Hai came to visit today, he had prepared his emotions for a long time in advance, and was going to talk about the friendship with Qin Hai before making this inappropriate request. Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, Qin Hai raised this question himself, expressing that he would "return everything to Zhao" for Yan Shuncheng.

"As far as I know, Yan Shuncheng is the director of a key laboratory in your School of Materials, and he has developed more than a dozen patents of great economic value for you. Are you willing to let go of such a person?" Yang Xinyu asked Qin Hai.

Qin Hai pretended to be casual, and said: "Minister Yang, when I invited Yan Shuncheng to the School of Materials, I said that I was protecting talents for the country."

Yang Xinyu smiled and said, "Haha, I remember, you invented a word back then called 'protective poaching', have you forgotten it yourself?"

"Did I say that?" Qin Hai really forgot, but after hearing what Yang Xinyu said, he believed that such a nonsensical statement must have come from his own mouth. He smiled and said: "Maybe I said so. Since I said so back then, I must honor it now. I will not treat these people as my own private property."

"Yan Shuncheng is gone, what about his laboratory?" Yang Xinyu asked.

"The laboratory was built by our group, you can't move it away." Qin Hai replied with a look of panic.

"Uh... that's not what I meant." Yang Xinyu was depressed. He was clearly concerned about how the laboratory would run well in the future. Why did he come to Qin Hai and want to covet this laboratory? Recruiting Yan Shuncheng back from the School of Materials Science and Technology is already enough to be sorry for others, how dare I let others send another laboratory here for nothing.

"I mean, with Yan Shuncheng's departure, won't the work of your laboratory be affected?" Yang Xinyu tried hard to explain.

"Oh, that's what you mean, I misunderstood..." Qin Hai had a playful smile on his face.

"You little Qin, you clearly did it on purpose!" Yang Xinyu realized that he was being tricked by Qin Hai, and could not help but gnash his teeth and scolded.

Qin Hai giggled: "No, I just want to know how much of Minister Yang's integrity is left. Looking at it now, Minister Yang is still very reasonable and didn't make us feel cold."

Yang Xinyu shook his head, and said: "Xiao Qin, I really feel ashamed when you say that. To tell you the truth, we have always wanted to invite Yan Shuncheng back, but we just couldn't open our mouths. In the past, you spent money to protect Yan Shuncheng. Now that he is able to produce results and bring benefits, it is really unreasonable for us to reach out to pry the corner of the wall."

Qin Haidao: "Minister Yang, you don't have to say that. Yan Shuncheng's stay in the School of Materials Science and Technology is of course beneficial to our group. But if he returns to the Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, he will be able to play a greater role. Our Daqin Group is a private Enterprises, but our leadership understands the truth that everyone is small, and we will not patronize the interests of our own company while ignoring the interests of the country.”

"This...what should I say?" Yang Xinyu was filled with emotion.

Qin Haidao: "Yan Shuncheng is on his side, and I have already consulted him. He has feelings for the School of Materials Science and Technology, but he is also eager to return to his original unit and undertake key national projects. We respect his choice, and we will not I will give him any restrictions. You should complete the formalities as soon as possible. When will your transfer order be sent? When will Yan Shuncheng be able to return to work in the Mechanical and Electrical Research Institute. However, the position and salary that should be given to him must not be sloppy, otherwise he will If you don't want to come back, it's not our responsibility."

"There is no problem at all." Yang Xinyu said firmly.

"Another point is that it is an unfeeling request. We hope that in the future, the Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering can establish a strategic partnership with the School of Materials Science and Technology to provide mutual cooperation in scientific research and realize resource sharing. I wonder if Minister Yang can agree." Qin Hai said again.

"No problem at all!" Yang Xinyu replied affirmatively again, "I can make the decision on this matter. From now on, everything about your School of Materials will be about our Department of Mechanical Engineering, and all research institutions in our department will be able to cooperate with you. Resource sharing. Unless it involves state secrets, all materials and experimental equipment are completely open to you."
