Chapter 35: Peers

Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic, in the eighties, the official did not use this name, "academician" officially appeared as an official term, and it was not until 93 years that because the Academy of Engineering was also about to be established, in order to unify the caliber of the highest academic titles of the two academies, there were two titles: academician of the Academy of Sciences and academician of the Academy of Engineering.

Before that, the titles of the Academy of Sciences were all "members of the Academy", and those who could obtain this title were definitely veteran industry giants, of course, in the eighties, they were privately called academicians, in fact, there was no problem, everyone understood what was going on.

To make the simplest analogy, if we compare them to college students before the expansion of enrollment in the 90s, then in 93 they were changed to the title of academician, and the new academicians after that were the same as those who got college students after the expansion of enrollment in the 90s. It is an indisputable fact that after the members of the faculty were changed to academicians, the overall quality of academicians was reduced.

And Academician Wang Daxuan is the first batch of members of the first batch of academic departments in the early days of the Republic, his existence is quite awesome, in 99 when the election of the two bomb fathers, this is also among them, for the industry influence, national and national contributions, can be seen. But now it seems that when he gets older, he seems to be no different from ordinary people.

.......

"You mean, you don't want to be my assistant?"

In the face of Wang Zhengguo's frankness, Academician Wang didn't understand what the situation was, it stands to reason that this young man finally got the opportunity to be an assistant here under the recommendation of his teacher, but he didn't expect that this would be the case after he came.

I was a little unhappy, and asked again: "Are you sure you don't want to be my assistant? Does your teacher Liu Jiadong know that? What did he say, he also highly recommended you before, and I listened to your various industry insights just now, and I should be able to meet the basic requirements of the assistant." ”

Academician Wang was very puzzled, and Zhang Huitao on the side was even more shocked, he still wanted to be an assistant when he was arguing with himself at the door before, but now he finally had the opportunity, and he actually said something inappropriate, this is funny?

"I have obtained Professor Liu's consent before leaving, and I only came to the imperial capital this time, on the one hand, I will greet you on behalf of the teacher, and at the same time, I will explain the reason why I am suddenly not an assistant, and I also hope to get your understanding. ”

It is just a general description of the situation, followed by further explanations about the real cause of this incident.

"I came to you as an assistant, although I can greatly enhance my theoretical knowledge, but in terms of personal experience, I think in practice, there are too many disjointed places, before I was an assistant in the optical laboratory of Shu University, many theories were shelved after the results, so I decided to turn the theory into practice. For example, in terms of optical lens technology, which is the most done in our laboratory, I am ready to use these technical achievements to devote myself to the optical lens industry, making lenses, glasses and so on!"

If we can reflect the problem of the disconnection between domestic scientific research theory and practice to the top level of scientific research and academic circles through the mouth of Academician Wang, maybe these problems can be solved, and this will be a great thing.

Of course, considering that some things can't be said too bluntly, Wang Zhengguo only briefly talked about the problems encountered by the optical laboratory of Shu University, and he is not bold enough to bombard the academic circles of the entire republic, which not only will not play any role, but even he himself will be labeled as no one in his eyes, which obviously does not have any benefits.

As long as Academician Wang can listen carefully to Wang Zhengguo's extraneous meanings and is willing to think more about the common problems in the domestic scientific research and academic circles, he will naturally know the crux of the problem.

Facts have proved that although the situation is not as bad as Wang Zhengguo thought, it is definitely not much better, especially when he heard that Wang Zhengguo planned to make lenses and glasses, Academician Wang didn't know what to say for the time being.....

Wang Lao obviously knew what his assistant Zhang Huitao's ambition was, he grew up in the imperial capital since he was a child, and his family opened an optical store in the thirties, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he had a small scale, and when the public-private partnership was made, he was restructured into the imperial capital Daming glasses, and grew up watching his family make glasses, and twenty years have passed, although Zhang Huitao has been doing his assistant, but he has never stopped paying attention to the glasses industry.

That is, this time, the reason why I want to find a new assistant is also to be able to replace Zhang Huitao, Academician Wang has even helped to coordinate the imperial capital famous glasses, this time Zhang Huitao is back to this glasses company as the general manager, supervising technology.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhengguo, who originally came to replace Zhang Huitao, actually didn't do anything, in order to make glasses, is it really not as exciting to follow himself to do cutting-edge optical theory research as making a small glasses, why do you want to leave.

Zhang Huitao is also as uncomfortable as eating at this time, today's roller coaster ride is simply sour, and he was still excited before, but he didn't expect that he didn't want to be an assistant here, he really just came to visit by someone, and he was still the same as himself, ready to start in the glasses industry, but he was also a peer.

"You also make glasses, Shudu, but there is a lean glasses that can be regarded as a time-honored brand, are you over there?"

In Zhang Huitao's view, if you can give up the hot job of an academician assistant, but also save your job, and it is still in the glasses industry, then only Shudu Lean Glasses, which was also developed in the thirties, has this attraction, and naturally subconsciously thinks of this unit.

It's a pity that he thinks too much, to be honest, if Wang Zhengguo hadn't had a systematic plan a long time ago, he would have thought naively about a so-called time-honored optical store wanting to change the job of an academician's assistant, and it can be said unceremoniously that the reason why the two didn't want to be assistants this time and wanted to run to make glasses was due to their own special reasons, and ordinary people would never come like this.

"No, I'm going to Shuda Optical Laboratory, ready to build a company that produces optical lenses and glasses, which will be completely different from traditional optical stores, and that's the real reason why I chose to do the eyewear industry. ”

Wang Zhengguo knew that if he wanted to obtain Academician Wang's recognition and understanding, he had to say a convincing reason, and this kind of exploration of the mode of "laboratory closely combined with the company" to do large-scale production is a very good reason.

A new scientific research-production model, which makes Academician Wang very curious, how can he not know the shortcomings of the domestic scientific research system that Wang Zhengguo said, but he is suffering from no way to start, and now Wang Zhengguo has come up with this new model, which may be the way to make up for it, although there is no guarantee that it is effective, but as long as someone is willing to try boldly, he will not be stingy with his support.

"That's a good idea, and I'll admit that what you said has successfully attracted me, and now you really don't need to come to me as an assistant, if you can make a good use of the lab-company model you said, it's far more important than being an assistant to me. ”

He turned his head to look at Zhang Huitao, who was sitting on the other side, and found that today was really an interesting day, two people who were about to walk out of their own homes were about to walk out of their own homes, but they were going to embark on completely different paths, maybe there would be different sparks between them and in the same industry.

Since the two of them can't be kept, Academician Wang naturally won't forcibly keep people, although the twisted melon can quench his thirst, but it is not sweet after all, he is an academician, the super giant of the Republic's optical industry, and it is not that he can't find a suitable assistant, so why stick to the two of them.

"Okay, what about you, go back to Tao and report to the Imperial Capital Damin Glasses Company in a few days, and Zhengguo will go back to Shudu, ready to do your laboratory-company glasses production, I hope you can get along in harmony in the industry, but ....."

Academician Wang's eyes are like torches, and he can see at a glance that the two people in front of him are not fuel-efficient lamps, plus the scene where the two of them did not deal with each other at the door before, I am afraid that if two tigers fight, there will be an injury!

One is experienced and at the peak of his life, and the other is a fledgling who is not afraid of tigers, and has more advanced and novel ideas, and the smoke of war between the two may have quietly pervaded the moment they learned that the other party was going to engage in the industry.

Academician Wang saw it very accurately, and after this meeting, Wang Zhengguo and Zhang Huitao fought each other for many years, which can be described as a dragon fight, which not only greatly benefited consumers, but also completely changed the history of the development of the eyewear industry in the Republic.
