For a whole day, Hu Zhizhong was in a state of anxiety. If there was a Weibo or something at that time, he would definitely post a message, so that others could teach him how to do it so that it was not the first time he negotiated with a foreign businessman, and finally had to add a sentence: "Wait online, ...... urgently"

The next morning, he was even more distracted. When it was almost 11 o'clock, he made up an excuse, left the factory, got on the bus and went straight to People's Square. Hongze City is not very big, and when he arrived at the door of Xinghai Restaurant, it was only half past eleven, and it was still half an hour away from the meeting time agreed between Tian Ruzhi and him. Fearing to give the impression that he couldn't wait, he went to a nearby newsstand, bought a newspaper, and stood on the curb of the road, reading and waiting.

It wasn't until 12 o'clock that Hu Zhizhong rolled up the newspaper, pretended to be calm, and walked towards Xinghai Restaurant.

"Hello, are you Chief Engineer Hu?"

In front of the restaurant, a woman dressed in professional attire greeted Hu Zhizhong and asked him with a smile.

"I am." Hu Zhizhong replied, "May I ask you ......?"

"My name is Tian Ruzhi, the financial director of Semi Motor Company in the United States, and now I am also the deputy general manager of Hongze Motor Factory." The woman replied.

"Oh, you are Director Tian, I am glad to meet you." Hu Zhizhong said a little helplessly.

"I've already booked a private room inside, Chief Engineer Hu, please." Tian Ruzhi said.

Hu Zhizhong also made a gesture and said, "Director Tian, please ......"

The two of them humbly entered the restaurant and came to Tian Ruzhi's pre-booked private room. Xinghai Restaurant is a high-grade restaurant in Hongze City, although Tian Ruzhi booked a four-person room, but the room area is very large, in addition to the dining table, there are sofas and coffee tables on the side. On the wall, there is also a famous calligrapher in the province to write "Qinyuan Spring-Snow", which looks very subservient and elegant.

When he walked into the private room, Hu Zhizhong found that there was already a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa waiting in the room. Seeing Hu Zhizhong come in, the middle-aged man stood up and greeted him with a smile. Stretched out his hand and asked, "It's Chief Engineer Hu, I have admired you for a long time." ”

"This is Mr. Zhou Linlei, the chief engineer we hired temporarily." Tian Ruzhi pointed to the middle-aged man and introduced it to Hu Zhizhong.

"Oh, it turned out to be Chief Engineer Zhou...... Wait, Director Tian, you just said that his name is Zhou Linlei? Hu Zhizhong's eyes widened, pointed at Zhou Linlei, and asked Tian Ruzhi.

"yes." Tian Ruzhi replied.

"Is it a forest of woods, a bright and upright Lei?" Hu Zhizhong asked again. There was a bit of excitement in his tone.

"Exactly, why, Chief Engineer Hu has heard my name?" Zhou Linlei asked with a smile.

"Are you the Zhou Linlei who studied for a master's degree in electrical engineering at Bingcheng University of Technology?" Hu Zhizhong looked at Zhou Linlei and asked, the old pedantic stupidity in him was committed again, and he didn't care about being rude enough to ask questions like this.

Zhou Linlei nodded and said, "That was more than 30 years ago, why, Chief Engineer Hu knows me?" ”

"Oops. I don't just know you! Hu Zhizhong stretched out two hands and held Zhou Linlei's hand. Shaking desperately, he said: "You published a paper in the Journal of Electrical Machinery and Control back then, called "Magnetic Field Calculation and Electric Potential Analysis of Permanent Magnet Motors", which was very wonderful. When I was a college student, I was amazed to see that article. I remember rereading it dozens of times at the time. Now, more than 30 years later, I can still clearly remember the derivation formulas listed above, which is so beautiful! ”

"It was part of my master's thesis, and it was a gap filled at the time, and it's hard for Chief Engineer Hu to remember it now." Zhou Linlei was a little embarrassed. A little smug again, he said with a smile. Unexpectedly, Hu Zhizhong was actually a fan of himself more than 30 years ago, and he still worships him.

Tian Ruzhi said with a smile on the side: "It turns out that Chief Engineer Hu has known Chief Engineer Zhou for a long time, which is really a coincidence." Why don't we sit down first, and let's talk while eating? ”

"Okay, good, Chief Engineer Zhou, please!" Hu Zhizhong put on a humble look and said to Zhou Linlei.

"You're welcome, Chief Engineer Hu, please." Zhou Linlei responded.

The three of them sat at the table, and Tian Ruzhi called the waiter and ordered the food to be served. Hu Zhizhong said a little politely, and then pestered Zhou Linlei to ask long and short questions.

"Chief Engineer Zhou, I also read several articles written by you later, which inspired me very much. However, it seems that after 75 years, I have not seen you publish again, so did you switch to administrative work? Hu Zhizhong asked.

Zhou Linlei smiled slightly and said, "No, I have been doing research work on motors. In 75 years, I changed units, and the nature of my work was somewhat special, so it was inconvenient to publish any more articles. I didn't expect that there would be people in the local area who would remember me. ”

"Of course I do." Hu Zhizhong said, "I often tell the technicians of our department that in terms of motor research, the best in China is Chief Engineer Zhou." It's a pity that I haven't heard from you all these years, otherwise I would have come to your door to ask for advice. Why, you're working at SEMI now? By the way, Director Tian just said that you are the chief engineer hired by them temporarily, what is going on? ”

Zhou Linlei said: "I still have a formal job, and when I come to Director Tian, I am here to help them temporarily." They want to develop rare earth permanent magnet motors, but there is currently a lack of technical personnel who can lead the way, so I will make a temporary cameo. I heard that Chief Engineer Hu has been doing research on permanent magnet motors and is an authority in this area, so today I will ask Chief Engineer Hu for advice or two together with Director Tian. ”

Hu Zhizhong's old face turned red, waved his hand and said, "Chief Engineer Zhou said this, he really laughed at me." Who doesn't know your accomplishments in the study of electric motors, in front of you, I am just a schoolboy. ”

"Chief Engineer Hu is too modest." Zhou Linlei said, "I heard Xiao Qin introduce me to him, saying that Chief Engineer Hu has rich experience in the development of rare earth permanent magnet motors, and I still have my own job, and it is impossible to stay in Hongze for a long time, so I very much hope that Chief Engineer Hu can take over my work and join Hongze Motor Factory." ”

"Xiao Qin?" Hu Zhizhong was surprised, "What you said ......"

"Oh, it's Comrade Qin Hai, the chairman of Daqin Group, who came forward to ask me to help with Hongze Motor Factory." Zhou Linlei explained.

"You mean...... Is there a relationship between Hongze Motor Factory and Daqin Group? A bright light seemed to flash in Hu Zhizhong's mind, and he vaguely guessed something.

Tian Ruzhi smiled: "I didn't say anything, we are the American Semi Company, and it has nothing to do with the Daqin Group." ”

She said that it didn't matter, but the expression on her face was a bit playful, which made people know that she was lying at a glance. Thinking of the before and after of Ohara Society's acquisition of Anhe Electric Factory, and then thinking of the various actions of Hongze Electric Factory, Hu Zhizhong suddenly understood the joint, and couldn't help laughing, and said: "Yes, yes, I'm confused, isn't Director Tian the financial director of Semi Company in the United States?" ”

"How about it, can Chief Engineer Hu consider Chief Engineer Zhou's suggestion?" Tian Ruzhi asked.

Hu Zhizhong looked at Zhou Linlei and asked, "Chief Engineer Zhou, can I inquire what unit you are working in now, why did you come to help Hongze Motor Factory, and why can't you stay in Hongze Motor Factory for a long time?" ”

Zhou Linlei looked at Tian Ruzhi, and then said: "My work unit, it is inconvenient to tell Chief Engineer Hu. However, I came to Hongze Motor Factory to help, and I was appointed by Ji Lao, you should understand, right? ”

"It's the beginning of the Ming Dynasty...... Ji Lao? Hu Zhizhong asked in surprise.

Zhou Linlei nodded slightly, but did not say anything.

Hu Zhizhong took a long breath and said, "I see...... How, the production ...... of Hongze Motor Factory It also has something to do with national defense construction? ”

"It's good that Chief Engineer Hu understands in his heart, and there are some things that we really don't want to talk about too much." Tian Ruzhi replied.

"I see." Hu Zhizhong said, and then fell silent, but his heart was like a river overturning, and he couldn't calm down at all.

Before today, Hu Zhizhong's perception of Semi was limited to that it was an American company and had the desire to enter the rare earth permanent magnet motor market. He didn't know how powerful Sammy was, and he didn't know if it would be able to gain a foothold in China, or if it was just a gimmick like Ohara Kaisha, but in the end nothing was accomplished. If this is the case, Hu Zhizhong will not dare to change jobs, after all, he already has a stable position in the Anhe Electric Factory, and he can stay up until retirement. Rushed to a new company that he didn't know the details of, and if something happened, he would lose his job.

But just now, he got two important pieces of information one after another. One is that Semi Company is related to Qin Hai, and it can even be directly guessed that this is a trick by the Daqin Group, as for the reason, naturally I don't want to publicly offend Vice Governor Wang He; The second is that the production of Hongze Motor Factory is actually related to the military, and it is directly related to the early Ming Dynasty. What is the status of Ji Mingchu in the central government, Hu Zhizhong also understands, can an enterprise that Ji Mingchu personally care about be a pheasant enterprise that can leave with one shot?

Since there is no opportunity to do business in Anhe Motor Factory, and Hongze Motor Factory has the dual support of Daqin Group and Ji Mingchu, not to mention that there is a motor god like Zhou Linlei sitting in the array, what reason do you have to refuse the other party's offer?

"Director Tian, do you think I still have any use?" Hu Zhizhong asked Tian Ruzhi timidly.

Tian Ruzhi said with a smile: "What Chief Engineer Hu said, you are the most authoritative motor expert in the entire Anhe Province, our boss told us to ask Chief Engineer Hu to go out of the mountain, do you say you are useful?" ”

"The boss that Director Tian said is the ......" Hu Zhizhong did not say his guess, he believed that everyone could understand.

Tian Ruzhi nodded solemnly and said, "You guessed right, now you are relieved, right?" (To be continued......) R1292
