Chapter 506: Exchanging Technology for Dollars

Qin Hai made a lot of money in the domestic market with imported steel, but there were many troubles in the follow-up. The import of 10 million tons of steel cost nearly 4 billion US dollars in foreign exchange, which could not be repaid with the RMB earned by Qin Hai. Although others saw the price difference between imported steel and domestic steel, they could not do such reselling, precisely because of the restrictions on foreign exchange. To put it bluntly, in those days, if you could get foreign exchange in your hands, not only reselling steel, but also reselling any kind of commodity could make a lot of money.

In front of Wang Hongsheng, Qin Hai did not explain how he would solve the problem of repaying foreign exchange loans. The price of steel has stabilized, and some finishing work is also being carried out in an orderly manner, Qin Hai said goodbye to Wang Hongsheng and returned to Anhe.

"$4 billion, do you have the confidence to earn it?"

In the large conference room of the Anhe Institute of Materials, Qin Hai faced a room of scientists and proposed the task with a smile.

In those days, China's main export commodities were nothing more than two categories: primary products and labor-intensive industrial products. The former refers to agricultural products, mineral raw materials, etc., while the latter refers to familiar clothing, shoes and hats, assembly and processing products. At that time, the hat of the world's factory had not yet been put on China's head, the scale of China's export processing industry was still relatively small, the ability to earn foreign exchange was insufficient, and the foreign trade deficit was every year, and the difference could only be made up by borrowing foreign debts.

Qin Hai borrowed 4 billion seller's credit abroad for the import of steel, part of which was borrowed with rare earths as collateral, which was also a helpless move in an emergency, of course, there was also the intention of digging a pit for Chunshan Company. Now that the dust has settled on the steel market, Qin Hai has freed up his hands and began to arrange the repayment of debts.

He doesn't plan to exchange his precious mineral resources for foreign exchange. That is the sale of the wealth of future generations, and as a time-traveler in the 21st century, it is extremely shameful to do so. His plan was to exchange the technology he had for money, and this would have to be realized by the scholars of the School of Materials.

"The task has been arranged for a long time, and there are 24 majors in the college, and each major has a corresponding task. What do you think. Let's talk about the completion of the mission, shall we? Fu Wenbin, the dean of the college, said, scanning a room of people with his eyes, waiting for someone to get up and speak.

I don't know if it's modesty, or if I have a little bit of awe for Qin Hai, when I hold academic seminars on weekdays, the scholars who are very lively talk about each other, are actually a little shy at this time. Everyone exchanged glances with each other, not knowing who should take the lead.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaochen, who was sitting next to Qin Hai, smiled slightly, and pointed to Zhang Yating, director of the research office specializing in sensitive materials. said: "Sister Zhang, why don't you start first, several achievements in your profession are already very mature." ”

"Okay, then I'll talk about it first, it's time to throw bricks and lead the way." Zhang Yating, who was in her 40s, responded briskly, she spread out a piece of material in her hand, and reported to Qin Hai:

"Our practical laboratory is mainly responsible for the research of sensitive materials. So far, we have done three directions: gas-sensitive ceramics, thermal-sensitive ceramics and pyroelectric ceramics. The tin oxide gas-sensitive ceramics we studied are sensitive to changes in flammable gases such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane in the air. The maximum sensitivity can reach the magnitude of minus 6 of 10, and the reaction speed also exceeds the level of similar foreign products. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yating smiled, turned her head and said to everyone:

"By the way, our breakthrough in the sensitivity of gas-sensitive ceramics also benefited from Mr. Qin's tips. We add a trace amount of tin oxide to the tin dioxide. At the same time, divalent metal oxides such as magnesium oxide are used on the surface of the sensor as a coating. After trying it out, we found that the results were very remarkable. Our colleagues in the real room all said that the military merit medal is half that of President Qin. ”

Hearing Zhang Yating say this, a room of scholars echoed it:

"Haha, that's true. There are many places where we have been guided by Mr. Qin, who is really an all-rounder in materials science! ”

"That's right, that's right, I often tell my assistant, if there is any problem that can't be solved, ask Mr. Qin for help, and Mr. Qin will definitely have an unexpectedly good construction!"

"It's really a god, you said that I have been engaged in luminescent materials for so many years, last time Mr. Qin said a word, it made me feel that my mouth was suddenly opened, I sometimes feel that my age has lived to a dog......"

“……”

"Okay, okay, everyone stop praising me." Rao is Qin Hai has a cheeky face that has been a man of two lifetimes, and he also felt that he couldn't hang it at this time, so he quickly interrupted everyone's praise.

In fact, what everyone says is the truth, the development of modern science and technology can be said to be changing with each passing day, even if it is a year ahead of the thinking will be different, not to mention that Qin Hai's insight is more than 20 years ahead of everyone. Qin Hai didn't want to waste his foresight, so he often participated in academic seminars in various majors in the college, and put forward some ideas at the meeting for everyone to try.

At the beginning, everyone didn't care about the chairman of the technical school, at best, out of the idea of not embarrassing Qin Hai, and gave it a try according to his advice, so that there would be an explanation in the future. Who would have thought that after the test, everyone found that Qin Hai's construction was so accurate, and many problems that had plagued everyone for a long time were often solved in his casual words.

Scholars from different majors sometimes get together to chat, and when they talk about it, they find that not only their own major, but also other professional researchers have had similar experiences. In other words, Qin Hai is actually an interdisciplinary materials talent, and his understanding of scientific research is by no means too far-sighted.

Of course, it does not mean that Qin Hai alone has the ability to conquer the world, in fact, Qin Hai's allocation to everyone is only directional, such as adding some trace elements to a certain material, or using a certain process in the preparation of a certain material, what is the specific amount added, what is the process flow, or the scientists need to explore it themselves, and everyone pays much more energy than Qin Hai said.

However, the characteristic of scientific research is that a directional guidance can make people avoid many detours, and many scientific and technological innovations are the result of a flash of inspiration in the minds of scientists. What Qin Hai did was to provide countless flashes of light for everyone, so that they could achieve the expected goal with half the effort.

With this understanding, everyone turned from passively accepting Qin Hai's advice to actively seeking Qin Hai's help. Qin Hai has been running around for the past two years, busy developing contacts in the business circle, but as long as he has time, he will go back to the School of Materials for a few days to talk about scientific research with everyone. Every time he heard that he was coming back, the heads of the various research laboratories would line up to meet him, or make an appointment with Wang Xiaochen to invite Qin Hai to his place to have a look and give advice.

Zhang Yating's sensitive materials are really in the room, and it is a unit that has received a lot of guidance from Qin Hai, as Zhang Yating said, half of her and her assistants are in the military merit medal, and there is also half of Qin Hai.

"Today is not my commendation meeting, but to listen to everyone's achievements. Professor Zhang, you just mentioned that you have made a breakthrough in tin oxide gas-sensitive ceramic materials, and the performance of the sensor exceeds the foreign level, so how is the progress in practical application? Qin Hai asked Zhang Yating.

Zhang Yating pursed her mouth slightly and said, "Mr. Qin, I have an opinion on you." ”

"What's the opinion?" Qin Hai was a little confused.

Zhang Yating smiled: "I don't like people to call me Professor Zhang, you ask everyone, what do they call me now." ”

"Professor Zhang now asks everyone to call her Sister Zhang, and she says that's kind." Wang Xiaochen pursed his lips and smiled on the side, reminding Qin Hai.

"Haha, gaffe, gaffe." Qin Hai is as good as a stream, and he also said with a smile: "Then I will follow the customs of the locals, and also call you Sister Zhang, but Sister Zhang should not be a Mr. Qin, call me Xiao Qin or Brother Qin, isn't it more affectionate." ”

"Then I wouldn't dare." Zhang Yating covered her mouth and smiled, "Mr. Qin is Mr. Qin, if I call you Brother Qin, then you will have no leader." ”

"That's unfair, isn't it?" Qin Hai pretended to be depressed, but he didn't force it. He is the owner of the Materials Academy, and the necessary majesty still needs to be maintained. He can let Fu Wenbin and Wang Xiaochen call him Xiao Qin, but if ordinary researchers also call him that, it would be a bit too casual. When an organization develops to a certain level, it will inevitably produce hierarchical divisions, and blindly erasing such divisions is not conducive to orders and prohibitions.

Regarding Zhang Yating's changes, Qin Hai also had some feelings in his heart. Zhang Yating is also a scholar he personally introduced, he remembers that Zhang Yating was relatively silent in the past, somewhat arrogant, lukewarm to people, and not like a good way to get along with. However, in the past two years or so since she came to the School of Materials, her personality has completely changed and she has become enthusiastic and cheerful, otherwise she would not be more serious in the titles of "Professor Zhang" and "Sister Zhang".

Anhe Institute of Materials is a scientific research institution established in accordance with Qin Hai's intentions, and from the very beginning, Qin Hai has required the college to establish a harmonious and sunny scientific research and living atmosphere. Where intellectuals are piled up, they are often also the places where intrigue is most powerful, and many scientific research institutes have such characteristics. Some leaders like to fight among employees, and even deliberately encourage this kind of gladiatorial fighting, because the more fierce the fight between employees, the easier it is for leaders to pull one faction and one faction to establish their own authority.

But Qin Hai didn't like this, he didn't want the scientific researchers he had spent a lot of effort to recruit to spend their energy on infighting, and he didn't need to use the method of division and disintegration to maintain his rule. He instilled his ideas into Fu Wenbin, Wang Xiaochen and others, hoping that they could create a harmonious atmosphere in the academy.

It now appears that this effort has paid off. (To be continued......)
