"Dad, what did you call me for?" Viktor Tsereteli asked Rajmov in surprise.

"This is a friend I met when I was in China." Rajmov pointed at Lu Jingrong with his finger, "The rest are his colleagues. ”

"Hello." Tsereteli nodded to everyone, and when he heard that Lu Jingrong was busy translating Russian for Qin Hai and Xiao Hei, he immediately changed to English and repeated the greetings.

Seeing that the other party could speak English, Qin Hai finally found his own place, he stretched out his hand to Celeteli and said: "Mr. Celeteli, my name is Qin Hai, and I came to the Soviet Union to recruit talents on behalf of China Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory. ”

Tsereteli shook hands with Qin Hai, and then asked: "Mr. Qin, you said that you are from China Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory, may I ask, is it the company that first invented the thermal spraying machine?" ”

This is called the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the thermal spraying technology has made such a big impact, but all the experts who are engaged in metal materials will know more or less. The Chita Petroleum Machinery Complex has not been in a good economic situation in recent years, and there is no spare money to purchase such equipment, but Tseletel's attention to thermal spraying machines has not been a day or two. From some technical literature, he learned that the company that first invented the thermal spraying machine was called Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory.

"Yes, and this business is owned by me. The earliest patents for thermal spraying machines belong to me. Qin Hai said unabashedly.

"I see." Tsereteli's eyes as he looked at Qin Hai obviously changed. After the advent of Qinhai's thermal spraying machine, the international research on thermal spraying technology has set off a climax, new patents have emerged one after another, and the price of thermal spraying machines has been declining. But Celeteli knew that as the first person to bring a thermal sprayer to the market, the profit from the machine was measured in hundreds of millions of dollars. And this person is now standing in front of him.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Seryosha didn't know English, and he didn't know what his father said to Qin Hai, but he could see something abnormal from his father's face, and there was actually some admiration on it. He knows. His father has always been over-eyed, and he rarely worships anyone.

Of course, Tsereteli would not explain anything to his son, but Rajmov called his grandson over and whispered something to him, and then Seryosha's eyes became wrong. Rajmov also knows some English, and he has also heard from his son-in-law about thermal sprayers, although he doesn't know much about this equipment. But at least you can guess what kind of cow Qin Hai is.

Qin Hai's purpose in revealing his identity is precisely to convince the other party, if there is no prestige, it is very difficult to dig people with red mouth and white teeth. He smiled at Celeteli and said, "We now have some new research projects that require experienced engineers, and I wonder if Mr. Celeteli would be interested in joining." ”

"What kind of work do you do?" Tsereteli asked involuntarily. He didn't even think about the fact that the other party was a Chinese if he wanted to join the other party's research program. It means going to China to work.

Qin Hai told the chemical design institute that he entrusted to develop ethylene equipment, focusing on the problem of low-temperature steel. After hearing this, Tsereteli nodded, and said: "These are all technologies that we have already solved, but there are some aspects that can be optimized. If it weren't for the interruption of research in the factory, maybe we would have come up with better steel by now. ”

Qin Hai was not surprised by Tsereteli's answer. The Soviet Union's technological accumulation in heavy industry has always been very deep, and in many fields it has even reached the world's leading level, just because the Soviet Union likes to engage in self-isolation in technology. They don't participate in international cooperation and competition, so none of these technologies have been able to meet the world. Perhaps due to the cold climate, the Soviet Union's research on low-temperature materials was even better, and the Chinese engineers and technicians were still struggling to solve the problem, which in the eyes of the Soviet engineers could indeed be regarded as a piece of cake.

"Mr. Tsereteli, are you interested in going to China to continue your research?" Qin Hai asked, "We can provide you with the research conditions you need." ”

"What do you think, Dad?" Tsereteli turned his face to Rajmov, who was both Rajmov's son-in-law and a student of Rajmov, and he would definitely have to ask Rajmov's opinion first for such a big thing.

Rajimov said slowly: "I'm old, and I can't understand many things. You still have to make your own decisions about such a big thing, right? However, if you are still doing nothing in the future, it is better to find a place where you can do things, so as not to waste your research. ”

In recent years, as the operating conditions of the factory have deteriorated, the technology research and development work has long been stagnant. Radimov said that Tsereteli had nothing to do, precisely in response to this situation. Believing that this situation could not change substantially in the foreseeable future, it is understandable that his father-in-law spoke to him in this way.

In recent years, there are not a few colleagues and peers who have gone abroad to work, and it is not that Celeteli has not been moved to go abroad, but he has not found a suitable opportunity. Now that someone had come to the door, and his father-in-law had expressed his approval, there was little hesitation in Celeteli.

"If I go to China to work, what kind of treatment can you give me?" Tsereteli asked Qin Hai.

"At your current salary, multiply by five times. Housing, airfare to visit family, full cost of family travel to China to visit you, twice a year off, and the ability to travel anywhere you want to go in China. Qin Hai replied without hesitation, this was a condition that he had considered before setting off, and he had already discussed it with Ji Zhenrong, Fan Zhiyuan and others, and it was applicable to all experts of the level of Cereteli.

Wages in the Soviet Union have always been higher than in China, and when multiplied by five times, they are more than ten times higher than those of researchers like Lu Jingrong. But Lu Jingrong listened to Qin Hai say this on the side, and there was not the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart. In his opinion, foreign specialists should be treated much higher than themselves, as was the case in the 50s and still is.

"That's a good condition." There was a bit of blush on Celeteli's face, he was a tech nerd, and he wasn't good at bargaining with people, especially when it came to his own treatment, and he was even more embarrassed to fight too much. In fact, if he is willing to raise the price, Qin Hai will also agree, because if countries such as Japan and the United States come to poach people, the treatment given should be better than Qin Hai's.

"I also need some assistants to do research in this area...... Of course, I know that there are many colleagues in China, but I have a few assistants who work well with me, if possible......" Tsereteli stammered.

Qin Hai smiled: "Mr. Tsereteli, you don't have to worry about anything at all. If you need to bring any helpers with you, just ask them and we'll take them all if they want to. However, depending on the level of skill, we may be treated a little less, I think you should be able to understand that, right? ”

"Of course, that's of course." "I think they'll know what they're going to do." ”

"Do you know anything other than your research team...... Don't have a lot of experts working on research at the moment? Qin Hai asked further, he originally wanted to say which experts were also in a difficult situation, but after thinking about it, he replaced it with a more euphemistic statement.

"Of course, now the businesses in Chita have basically stopped production, and my colleagues are idle at home. However, they are not all engaged in low-temperature materials, some are engaged in chemical engineering control, and some are engaged in machinery, and I don't know if your research plan also needs experts in these fields. Tsereteli said.

Qin Haidao: "As long as it is a truly talented expert, we all need it." Can Mr. Tsereteli introduce us to us? ”

"I'm more than happy to." "I think my friends would be interested in meeting you. ”

Speaking of this, everyone is already happy. When Seryosha heard that his father had agreed to work in China and that he would be able to get five times the salary he is now, his face was already smiling. Thanks to Goech's enlightened policy, countless "liberal" media that have sprung up like mushrooms have long blackened the USSR into cinders, and young people like Seryosha do not have any good feelings about the state and doctrine, and in their opinion, only the clicking ruble is the most intimate, of course, if it can be exchanged for clicking dollars, it will be even better.

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask you about." Qin Hai struck while the iron was hot, and then said to Celeteli: "According to the information I heard, there are some enterprises in Chita Prefecture that plan to eliminate some equipment because of insufficient operation, do you have any information on this?" ”

"You mean...... You're going to buy these too...... Obsolete equipment? Tsereteli's face looked a little unnatural.

Of course, he knew what Qin Hai meant by "elimination", and there were indeed many factories in Chita that were "eliminating" a lot of equipment. The equipment that can be "eliminated" is basically the most valuable equipment in the factory, otherwise no one would want to take over. At the petroleum machinery complex where Tsereteli served, the director of the factory was also working with the chief engineer to sell the equipment in the factory in various ways to enrich his own pockets.

For these things, Tsereteli both hated and felt helpless. Now that Qin Hai actually asked about this matter, and obviously revealed that he wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob like others, Tsereteli was a little embarrassed. (To be continued......)
