Chapter 696: This is the duty of our university
A vigorous technical appraisal meeting ended, and representatives of Western companies such as Brown Company and El Company left China with rich gifts from equipment companies. Hagner took Boehly and other entourage, accompanied by Jiang Xianyu, Zhao He and other cadres in the enterprise, to several construction sites of Beihua Machinery and Xinyang No. 2 Chemical Machinery in other provinces to continue the inspection, which will help them have a more comprehensive understanding of the technical level of Chinese enterprises and enhance their confidence in Chinese manufacturing.
Seeing off all the foreign guests, Feng Xiaochen had time to meet Wang Hongtai, who made a special trip from Pujiang to make a technical report. This time, Feng Xiaochen invited representatives of more than a dozen European and American companies under the banner of technical seminars. Ruthenium catalyst process is a hot topic in the chemical industry nowadays, and China has made some achievements in this area, so everyone wants to see what kind of innovations China has in the ruthenium catalyst ammonia synthesis process, and whether these innovations can inspire them.
As an authority in the field of ruthenium catalysts, Wang Hongtai's appearance has undoubtedly raised the level of this technical seminar. No matter how Jiang Xianyu and others muttered behind their backs, they still had to admit that Wang Hongtai's academic status was much higher than that of enterprise engineers like them, and only when he came forward could he calm the scene. Representatives of those foreign companies will speak highly of China's ruthenium catalyst ammonia synthesis process, to a certain extent, it is also for Wang Hongtai's face.
Wang Hongtai does not have a deep understanding of the process of Binhai Erhua, and his speech at the seminar was completely written by Xu Zhiyuan, a doctoral student, and even when discussing with foreign experts, there are some places that Xu Zhiyuan said for him, otherwise he may really expose his flaws. However, Wang Hongtai is not entangled in this, the achievements of doctoral students are also the achievements of their supervisors, this is the rule in the academic circle, no matter who does the specific thing, the final limelight belongs to him, which is enough.
"Professor Wang, thank you very much, if Professor Wang hadn't come to preside over the seminar in person this time, the experts from Brown Company and El Company might not have been so easy to speak. Feng Xiaochen asked Wang Hongtai to sit down in his temporary office and said to him with a smile.
Wang Hongtai was a little reserved, and said with a smile: "Mr. Feng is serious, the ruthenium catalyst process is my hard work for many years, and in my opinion, it is the same as my own child." Now that the child is going to start a family, how can I not come and see it?"
"Professor Wang's analogy is good. Feng Xiaochen praised, "Being able to treat scientific research projects as his own children, it is no wonder that Professor Wang has been able to achieve such great academic results." ”
"In fact, the success of the research on ruthenium catalyst technology is inseparable from the support of Mr. Feng and Professor Wu, and I will never forget how Mr. Feng and Professor Wu provided me with a fund of 500,000 yuan when I first went to Beijing to participate in the project defense. ”
That's because Professor Wang's topic selection is valuable, and the successful completion of today's Binhai II project proves how predictable Professor Wang's judgment was back then. ”
"This is the blind cat encountering a dead mouse......
Both of them pretended to be enthusiastic, reviewed their friendship back then, praised and praised themselves, and finally slowly converged the topic in front of them.
"Professor Wang, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if it's appropriate to say it. Feng Xiaochen sat up straight and said solemnly.
Wang Hongtai smiled and said slowly: "Look at what Mr. Feng said, you are a leader, just put forward any requirements, what is not suitable to say." ”
Feng Xiaochen said: "You have also seen this time, we suddenly modified the process design of Binhai Erhua, replaced the traditional pond valley process with ruthenium catalyst process, and also achieved the success of trial production. As a next step, we will definitely continue to refine the design and apply this process to four large fertilizer plants in Argentina. As far as we know so far, the Argentine side is still more interested in our plan, and our equipment quotation is more than 20% lower than that of the Japan Chemical Equipment Association, which is also very important for Argentina, which is short of foreign exchange like ours, so we judge that Argentina will eventually choose our plan. ”
"That's true, the Argentine engineers who accompanied Minister Hagner on this visit also attended our seminar and asked a lot of questions, and I think they should be interested in our equipment. Wang Hongtai said.
Feng Xiaochen nodded, accepted the information provided by Wang Hongtai, and continued: "In this way, the pressure on us in the next step is not smaller, but greater. Export orders can not tolerate the slightest omission, Beihua machine and Xinyang two chemical machine have rich experience in the production of large fertilizer complete sets of equipment, but the accumulation of ruthenium catalyst process principle is insufficient, very much need your academic experts to give them strong support. ”
"That's no problem at all. Wang Hongtai agreed, "We are also for the production practice of service, let's put it this way, my laboratory door will always be open to your equipment department, at any time, you have any technical difficulties, you can come to Pudong Jiaotong University to find me, I will do my best to help you solve." I mean, of course, if I can solve these problems. ”
"Hehe, then I will thank Professor Wang for his strong support on behalf of Director Zhao and Director Jiang. ”
"Yes, yes. ”
"In addition, Director Zhao and Director Jiang have another request, that is, they want to borrow your doctor Xu Zhiyuan to help them, because there are some technical problems, I am afraid that you need to go to the scene to see what is going on. ”
"This ......" Wang Hongtai was not as happy as he was just now this time.
Feng Xiaochen smiled slightly and said, "Actually, what Director Zhao hopes most is to invite Professor Wang to take a temporary position in their factory, and guide their work with your level, of course, it is much better than Dr. Xu." In the future, when the construction of the project in Argentina begins, Professor Wang will definitely have to be asked to come over and check on them. ”
Wang Hongtai scolded in his heart, and he said categorically: "This is impossible, I still have teaching tasks in school, and in addition, I have several scientific research projects in hand, which are also very important." ”
Feng Xiaochen said: "Director Zhao proposed at that time, saying whether the Economic and Trade Commission could come forward and directly contact the State Education Commission, and the Education Commission would send a letter to transfer Professor Wang to the enterprise to help, so that the teaching task would be easily solved." ”
"This ......" Wang Hongtai was dumbfounded, what kind of thing is this! Feng Xiaochen and Wu Shican went to Pudong Jiaotong University to invite him, and he could politely refuse or even ignore it. But if the Economic and Trade Commission really came forward and asked the Education Commission to transfer him to the enterprise to help, Wang Hongtai really couldn't refuse. This is not to say that the Education Committee has taken any coercive action against him, but that as a university professor, his prestige and treatment are in the hands of the Education Committee, and if he offends the Education Committee, he will not have a good life.
"Professor Wang, don't worry, I've already criticized them very harshly. Feng Xiaochen smiled and reassured Wang Hongtai and said, "I told them that Professor Wang is the wealth of the country, not something that two small enterprises like you can monopolize." ”
"Not really, mainly ...... I'm doing a study on education reform, and the significance is still relatively large, and it would be a pity if I gave up halfway. Wang Hongtai explained curtly, after that, he remembered something again, and hurriedly added: "Actually, the level of Zhiyuan is also very high, and some hands-on abilities are even above me, so it should be no problem for him to go to the enterprise to guide him instead of me." ”
"But will this affect your scientific research work? I heard that Dr. Xu is your right-hand man. Feng Xiaochen smiled secretly in his heart, but his face showed a considerate look.
Wang Hongtai pretended to be sorry and said: "The impact is definitely influential, but supporting the country's industrial construction is originally the responsibility of our universities. ”
"Thank you so much Professor Wang!"
"It should, it should!"
Having said this, Wang Hongtai also understood in his heart. The Mr. Feng in front of him has taken a fancy to his doctoral student and is about to pry the corner. Xu Zhiyuan is the most capable one of Wang Hongtai's students, so to speak, Wang Hongtai's papers in the past two years are all pointed to Xu Zhiyuan. This time, Feng Xiaochen went to Pudong Jiaotong University to invite Wang Hongtai out of the mountain, Wang Hongtai himself was not happy to come, so he sent Xu Zhiyuan over, thinking that it was to deal with it, who knew that Xu Zhiyuan's performance was so good, it actually made Feng Xiaochen move the idea of robbing people.
According to Wang Hongtai's idea, he could let Xu Zhiyuan temporarily come to Binhai No. 2 to help, but he absolutely could not tolerate Xu Zhiyuan to go to Beihua Machine, Xinyang No. 2 Chemical Machinery and other enterprises to take a long-term temporary position, because in this way, Xu Zhiyuan would not have time to stay in the laboratory to help him do experiments, and he would not have time to help him write papers. Isn't the purpose of recruiting doctors to find a free and obedient migrant worker, and finally cultivate one, you Feng Xiaochen will start to grab it, is there any Wang Fa?
But Feng Xiaochen let out the wind and said that he planned to let the Economic and Trade Commission come forward and seconded Wang Hongtai himself through the Education Commission, which scared Wang Hongtai. He had no doubt that Feng Xiaochen would be able to do such a thing. Wang Hongtai knew about Feng Xiaochen's deal with Qu Shoulin back then, so he also knew that Feng Xiaochen was a person who would do whatever it took to achieve his goals.
Wang Hongtai is also a bull now, but his cow is in the academic circle, and Feng Xiaochen does not pay attention to the rules of the academic circle. When Wang Hongtai met him, it can be said that Xiucai met a soldier, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so it was better to admit defeat quickly, hand over Xu Zhiyuan, and change his own safety.
