Material Empire

Conversations similar to this have been carried out successively in other ministries and various scientific research institutes. Qin Hai visited the original units of the scholars one by one as he did when he was poaching people, and discussed with them the issue of the return of the scholars. Of course, the people he mentioned in the negotiation are all those scholars who have communicated in advance and confirmed their intention to return to their original units. If the scholar himself has no intention of leaving the School of Materials, Qin Hai doesn't have to drive them away.

What pleased Qin Hai was that after Wang Xiaochen conducted a thorough investigation of the professors and scholars in the school, only about 20% of them confirmed that they had the intention to leave. Some of the remaining people are from the original unit and have no intention of inviting them back, and they don’t want to take the initiative to post the cold ass of the original unit. Most of them have already developed feelings for the School of Materials, claiming that other places are a golden mountain and a silver mountain. , they are not rare.

Most of the scholars who were able to be recruited by Qin Hai to the School of Materials back then were indifferent to utilitarianism. What they wanted was a stable living environment and a relaxed scientific research atmosphere. These two points are still the advantages of the School of Materials even today. Although the conditions of those national key research institutions have improved a lot compared to the past, the underlying hierarchical concept and rigid management model have not changed much. These scholars have escaped from such an environment, and they are not willing to go to such an environment again. day.

For those scholars whose original unit wants them to return, but they themselves are unwilling to leave, Qin Hai also adopted a flexible method, which is to allow these scholars to choose an amphibious mode, and their identities remain in the School of Materials, but You can return to your original school or scientific research institution to take classes, lead graduate students, and participate in some scientific research tasks on a part-time basis. As a result of this, the School of Materials has established close ties with many domestic research institutions, and the scientific research strength of the School of Materials has been improved instead.

Since the door was opened to allow scholars to return to their original units, the School of Materials has seen people leaving almost every day. Most of the people who left were reluctant to leave, and there were many who stood in tears at the school gate. Almost everyone who left would swear that they would never forget the School of Materials and the care that Daqin Group took for them. As for the shelf life of these words, it varies from person to person.

In addition to returning to the original unit, there are also a small number of scholars who choose to change jobs to companies that offer more money. Those who can do this are basically foreign companies. Tao Fuyuan is one of these people. He has defected to an American company called Ponak Metallurgical Materials Company. This company has some strength in refractory materials, and Tao Fuyuan is an expert in refractory materials. .

According to the ideas of Fu Wenbin and others, in the case of Tao Fuyuan, the School of Materials should take some punitive measures. After all, the original intention of the School of Materials was to retain talents for the country, but Tao Fuyuan's behavior violated this original intention. He developed in the School of Materials, but did not use his talents to give back to society. However, Qin Hai took an indifferent attitude towards this. He told Wang Xiaochen not to embarrass Tao Fuyuan. Since Tao Fuyuan wanted to leave, he should go through the formalities directly.

Qin Hai didn't have the energy to care about such trivial matters, so he didn't agree to embarrass Tao Fuyuan, he just didn't bother to care about such things. With the development of the times today, it is impossible to use administrative means to prevent a person from defecting to a foreign company. However, if economic means are used, such as asking Tao Fuyuan to compensate for the project funds of these years, it seems too wretched and will make those The scholars who stayed felt threatened. Rather than creating obstacles for Tao Fuyuan at the expense of others, it is better to be more generous and just let him go.

When Tao Fuyuan left the college, no one went to the school gate to see him off. He and his wife walked through the campus with their luggage, and all they got were blank stares. People's hearts are a steelyard, everyone's eyes are discerning who is right and wrong. After learning that the college did not take any punitive measures against Tao Fuyuan, many people felt that the college was really a humane place, and they were happy to contribute to such an employer.

After some scholars left, vacancies appeared in some laboratories. Under Qin Hai's arrangement, the School of Materials launched a global recruitment campaign and recruited a group of outstanding scholars. All scientific research activities have not been significantly disturbed, and are still going on in full swing.

People come and go, winter goes and spring comes, and in a blink of an eye it is already the midsummer of 1998. Qin Hai, who was busy testing the newly released new energy vehicle with Zhang Daiwei, suddenly received a call from Ji Mingchu, asking him to rush to the capital immediately, and to discuss with him on urgent matters.

Old Ji, I'm here.

Less than 4 hours after putting down the phone, Qin Hai appeared in Ji Mingchu's office. Even though the air conditioner was fully turned on in the car coming from the airport, Qin Hai was still sweating profusely.

It came so fast. Ji Mingchu, who was sitting behind the desk, said with a smile, Sit down and wipe off your sweat. Xiao Li, pour Xiao Qin a cup of tea, don't take cold water, it's too hot to drink cold water suddenly, it's not good for the spleen and stomach good.

The secretary agreed and poured tea for Qin Hai. Qin Hai sat down on the sofa next to him, wiped his sweat, and asked with a smile: Mr. Ji, what's urgent? You said that on the phone, so scared that I didn't dare to delay at all, so I just grabbed it. Someone else’s ticket, I took the earliest flight and rushed over.”

Haha, Chairman Qin still doesn't have his own private jet? Ji Mingchu joked with a smile.

Qin Haidao: Don't say that our country's laws do not allow it. Even if it is allowed, I dare not buy it. It's too public. I'm afraid you won't let me go.

Well, it's still the original character. Ji Mingchu was quite satisfied with Qin Hai's answer. Now there are more and more wealthy entrepreneurs in the society. Many people are afraid that others will not know that they are rich, so they try their best to spend all kinds of luxury. Old comrades like Ji Mingchu couldn't get used to it. Qin Hai is an exception among these people. Although his net worth can already be called the richest man in the country, he still dresses, spends, speaks and behaves like an ordinary person. This is what Ji Mingchu admires most about him.

Have you seen the recent situation? After a few gossips, Ji Mingchu put away his smile and started to get down to business.

The recent situation? Qin Hai was puzzled by Monk Zhanger, he thought for a while, shook his head and said, Which situation are you talking about, whether it is Iraq or Yugoslavia, I really don't know .”

What about Iraq and Yugoslavia? I'm asking you about the situation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Ji Mingchu said angrily.

Uh... Only then did Qin Hai realize that his brain was a little too big. He felt that Ji Mingchu was an old leader of the military, and his attention must be on international political and military affairs, but he didn't expect that Ji Mingchu was talking about domestic affairs. thing. When it comes to the current major domestic event, Qin Hai certainly knows about it, and that is the catastrophic flood in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River that has never happened in a century.

I have been paying attention to this matter. Our province of Anhe has also been affected, and the situation of flood control is very severe. Thanks to the troops in the front, otherwise it would be a bit overwhelming to rely on local strength alone. Qin Hai said. Speaking of flood fighting troops, he began to understand why Ji Mingchu cared about this matter. In the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, there are now hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting on the embankment. The number of troops used is almost equivalent to the scale of a major battle.

Raising soldiers for thousands of days is for this kind of time. Ji Mingchu said proudly. After saying this, he changed the subject and showed a sad expression on his face: However, the pressure on the troops is also very high now, and the follow-up Hong Feng still has a lot to do. They are coming one after another, and the soldiers are very tired. The supply of materials in front is also difficult, and the life security of the soldiers has problems. Looking at the materials reported below, I really feel bad.

What do you want me to do? Qin Hai asked directly without any detours. Ji Mingchu called him to come to the capital, obviously not to chat with him, but to hope that he could take on some things. When he was in Anhe, Qin Hai had already arranged for the group to donate money for flood relief and send personnel and vehicles to assist in flood fighting, but this was limited to Anhe province. What Ji Mingchu was concerned about in the early Ming Dynasty should obviously be the overall situation of the entire river basin.

Ji Mingchu said: Now, from the central government to the local governments, they are all going all out to support flood relief. Those who have money will contribute money, and those who are powerful will contribute. I think, your Daqin Group is a technology-based enterprise group. Is it possible to learn from your professional knowledge? Let’s start to solve some key problems for the front line of flood control. For example, fast-drying cement is needed to repair the dam ahead. I remember that your group’s quick-drying cement products are leading in the country. Could you please dig out the inventory? At the same time, speed up production and provide more products for the front as soon as possible.”

That's no problem at all. Qin Hai responded, Anhe Provincial Military District has dispatched a large amount of quick-drying cement from our group, and other provinces have not contacted us for the time being, so we don't know the demand ahead. Since Mr. Ji, you Having said that, I will immediately arrange for the sales department to contact the flood control headquarters of each province, as long as they make a request, we will send the cement to the front line as quickly as possible.”

Okay, what I want is your attitude. Ji Mingchu said, I just mentioned quick-drying cement, just to give an example. There are a lot of materials needed ahead, and we don't know what kind of help you can provide. I mean Yes, I hope you will arrange some technicians to go to the front for on-the-spot inspections, connect with the troops on the spot, and use your technology to help the troops solve the actual difficulties that exist.”

No problem! Qin Hai said, I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, we have neglected this matter. In fact, we should take the initiative to contact the army without your reminding.

The military situation is on fire, so hurry up and do it. Ji Mingchu said, I'll celebrate you when the victory against the flood is over.
