Material Empire

After reaching a tacit understanding with Yang Xinyu, Qin Hai didn't have much to do in the capital. He has personally visited some of the more important material experts. As for those second- and third-rate ones, the Beijing office of Qingfeng Factory can contact them further.

The impact of Qin Hai's actions in the materials science circle in the capital has spread to the whole country. None of these scholars are fellow students, students, etc. If there is such news, they will definitely inform each other and find out the truth. Back then, communication was not as developed as in later generations. Everyone exchanged information mainly through letters, and it took a few months to go back and forth, but it also made it easier for relevant personnel to understand the situation in multiple ways and be thoughtful.

After inviting Qin Shan and Tranquility out for a big meal, Qin Hai left the capital by plane and returned to Hongze. Heizi drove to the airport to pick him up and sent him directly to the provincial government.

It was not the first time for Qin Hai to come to Chai Peide. After registering with the guard, he arrived at the door of Chai Peide's office familiarly. Hou Yantao, Chai Peide's new secretary, was waiting for him there.

"Brother Hou, I've been waiting for a long time." Qin Hai greeted Hou Yantao respectfully. This title was called at the request of Hou Yantao. Hou Yantao thought that calling him "Secretary Hou" seemed too natural, so he insisted that Qin Hai should call him a brother.

"Xiao Qin is here. I heard that you just got off the plane. Have you worked hard?" Hou Yantao shook hands with Qin Hai and said in a pleasant way.

Qin Hai nodded and said, "Fortunately, the journey was not bumpy. Brother Hou, is Governor Chai free now?"

"I'm free. I heard that when you came back today, the governor specifically canceled two meetings just to have a good talk with you." Hou Yantao said while leading Qin Hai to Chai Peide's office.

Qin Hai found that these high-ranking officials like to say how many meetings they have rejected, in order to show that they attach importance to a certain matter. But if you think about it carefully, if these meetings themselves can be postponed, then it means that these officials are usually boring enough, and such meetings are actually on the agenda.

Qin Hai is also quite a big boss now, but he doesn't like to hold endless meetings, but prefers to spend time walking around, or go to the front line of production and scientific research to solve some practical problems. The several enterprises he owns are all entrusted to special managers to take care of them, such as Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory, Ning Zhongying is still calling the shots today, which is no different from the era of state-owned enterprises. Qin Hai thought to himself that his ability to manage the company was far inferior to Ning Zhongying's. If that was the case, why bother to point fingers?

However, Chai Peide's situation is quite different from Qin Hai's. He is in charge of a province's economic work and other miscellaneous affairs. Information. In fact, being an official is a very hard job. Of course, there are many people who find it enjoyable.

With these wild thoughts, Qin Hai followed Hou Yantao into Chai Peide's office. Chai Peide was burying his head in approving the documents. When he saw Qin Hai coming in, he greeted Qin Hai with a smile, and then continued to work with his head bowed. Qin Hai was familiar with Chai Peide's character and working style, so he didn't care. He just sat down under Hou Yantao's greeting, sipped his tea, and waited quietly.

After about five or six minutes, Chapeide finished the work in hand, put down the document, took a sip of water from his own cup, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I just wrote an instruction in the middle, I'm afraid of thinking. broken."

"It's okay, I'm just an idler." Qin Hai replied with a smile.

Chai Peide said: "Hey, if your big boss Qin said he was idle, we Anhe people would not be busy. Last time I heard the young man in the office calculating, saying that if Qin Hai saw ten yuan on the road, Will you bend down to pick it up? After calculation, they concluded that no, because you can earn a hundred dollars when you bend down."

"Uh... this joke has already been made up on my head?" Qin Hai sweated profusely. In his impression, this joke was used by later generations to talk about Bill Gaizi. Could it be that a time traveler also came to the provincial government office?

The two joked a few words, and Chai Peide brought the topic back to the right path: "Xiao Qin, you said on the long-distance call that you plan to build an Anhe School of Materials. Please tell me in detail about your idea."

Qin Hai nodded and said: "Materials are the foundation of all industries. The competition of global industrial technology is largely the competition of materials science. Many of our products in China are inferior in technology. The fundamental problem is that materials are not good enough. Take Pu Sang Taking automobiles as an example, many of the bottlenecks in the localization of parts in the early stage lie in materials and related processes. Beixi can become an important parts production base for Pushang Auto because we solved a large number of material technology problems at the beginning.”

"I agree with what you said." Chapeide replied.

Qin Hai continued: "The difficulty of materials science lies in the fact that the formation of a technology requires a long cycle. From the conception of a new material to its final production, it may require tens of thousands of experiments, which cost a lot of time and money. .With the help of high-precision and automated processing machine tools, we can quickly realize the upgrade of processing and manufacturing technology. However, the upgrade of material technology must be done step by step, and there is no shortcut to follow."

Chai Peide laughed and said, "What I saw was exactly the opposite. Someone said they wanted to solve a material problem, and within a few days they came up with results. It seems that there is no accumulation."

Qin Hai blushed a little. Of course he knew that the person Chapeide was referring to was Qin Hai, and his incredible performance in material technology was actually due to his golden finger as a traveler. He faltered and said: "The things on my side are somewhat accidental. In fact, I also made some mistakes and got some inspirations, so I achieved some relatively quick success in certain fields. But this model cannot be copied. The material It is a vast field, and it is impossible for me to be proficient in everything. I can win for a while with luck, but to win for a long time, I still need to rely on solid accumulation.”

"Your attitude is very correct." Chai Peide commented, "I have always been worried that you are a young man, and success comes too easily, which will make you impetuous. Now it seems that you are relatively objective about your own success. That puts me at ease."

"Thank you Governor Chai for your criticism." Qin Hai said while rubbing his head. He can see clearly how much he weighs. In fact, there is still a lot of room for his golden finger to be used, and it is not a dream to make ten times the previous achievements. But the problem is that what he wants is not just personal success, but a material empire that can be proud of the world, which requires a huge technical team as support. Building such a team takes time and money.

"Go ahead and say what you think," Chaupede said.

Qin Haidao: "Based on what I said above, I think that if our country wants to become an industrial power, there should be no delay in the research of materials science. We must start now and go all out to do it. However, when I went to the capital this time, what I learned was worrying..."

Then, he introduced the situation that Chen Heqian told him to him and the situation he had witnessed with his own eyes, and finally said: "Our country is still in a period of economic difficulties, and all inputs cannot be guaranteed. , I can fully understand this point. In order to retain these precious materials science talents and not lose precious opportunities, I plan to gather them all to Anhe, create good conditions for them, and let them devote themselves to Scientific research will support China's material science system."

"This idea is very good!" Chai Peide praised, "There are too many aspects that the country needs to manage, and it is impossible to invest more funds in this specific field. But you only grasp a little, so you can make this matter better This is also a manifestation of your concern for the country. From this alone, it can be seen that you Xiao Qin is a person who understands the general situation and takes into account the overall situation, and is not a person who blindly pursues personal economic interests."

"I really never thought that I would be so noble. It's just that I have been engaged in material work and have a deep affection for material science." Qin Hai hurriedly expressed humility, he didn't want to wear too much halo on himself.

Chai Peide said: "To establish a materials college in Anhe, as long as you can guarantee the investment, the province can provide you with other aspects, including land, policies, etc., so you don't have to worry. However, I will report this matter to Governor Yang He asked me a question: Is it appropriate to build such a college that concentrates the national materials science elites in Anhe Province? Why should a college like this be built in the capital?"

The governor Yang that Chai Peide mentioned is also an old acquaintance of Qin Hai. He is the former deputy governor Yang Yihe, and the word "deputy" in front of him has been erased now. Yang Yihe's worry is also a joke. In fact, Anhe Province has always been an economically backward province in China, and the leaders are really not used to being able to have the reputation of representing the whole country in a certain aspect.

Qin Hai smiled and replied: "Actually, all the elites are concentrated in big cities like Beijing, Pudong, and Guangzhou. Research institutions are scattered in various places, such as California, Massachusetts, etc. This separation can reduce the burden on big cities and provide better conditions for researchers, so why not do it?"

"You are right." Chai Peide replied, "Governor Yang's original intention is to welcome your approach. If this school of materials can really be built, it will greatly improve the status of our Anhe in the country. .”
