How Li Qing and Zhou Yicheng guessed Qin Hai, Qin Hai didn't know. After returning from Jingshiji, he quickly reported what he had seen and heard to Wang Hongsheng, and asked Wang Hongsheng whether his actions were appropriate.

"What do you think is the root cause of this?" After listening to Qin Hai's story, Wang Hongsheng asked him.

"The question of the evaluation mechanism." Qin Hai replied without thinking. He had been thinking about this question for a long time, and he was naturally able to blurt it out at this time.

Wang Hongsheng smiled and said, "Tell me in detail about the evaluation mechanism." ”

Qin Hai did not answer directly, but asked Wang Hongsheng in reverse: "Director Wang, this time the key research of the complete set of equipment is under your command, I want to ask, after this operation is over, do you want to report the results of this research to the central leadership?" ”

"Of course, our work is to be responsible to the central leadership." Wang Hongsheng replied.

"So, what do you want the end result to look like?" Qin Hai asked again.

Wang Hongsheng knew that Qin Hai was not a man of letters, and he naturally had a deep meaning in raising these questions, so he didn't care about Qin Hai's question, but replied seriously: "According to the past practice, we will introduce to the central leaders how many technical problems we have solved this time, how many achievements have been formed, and if possible, it is best to have photos of the results, which is the most convincing." ”

Qin Hai smiled and handed over a few pictures and asked, "Director Wang, if the photos we finally submit look like this, do you think the leaders will be satisfied?" ”

Wang Hongsheng took the photo, looked at it, frowned and asked, "What is this photo?" Why can't you see the name at all? ”

Qin Haidao: "This is the cross-sectional electron microscope photo of our newly developed low-temperature steel, from which you can clearly see the lattice structure, which fully demonstrates that this low-temperature steel can maintain good impact toughness at a low temperature of minus 196 degrees Celsius." The desired effect was fully achieved. ”

Wang Hongsheng was confused when he heard it, and he said with a bitter face: "Xiao Qin, your statement is too professional, right?" Not to mention that the central leaders can't understand it, I, a perennial industrial person, can't understand it. Take a photo like this and report it to the leader......"

Speaking of which. He shook his head, indicating that it was not feasible at all. As a veteran cadre of the Planning Commission, he is well aware of the routine of reporting his achievements to the leaders. In the past reports, photos were indispensable, but these photos were taken of rectification towers tens of meters high, large gears more than one person high, and machinery that baked blue and shiny, etc., and how to have a fantasy effect.

According to his experience, leaders are most interested in such things, and after reading them, they can see them at a glance, and then they are happy. If someone makes a few photos of what material section and so on, send it to the leader. That's the surface of the brain's water.

Qin Hai naturally knew that Wang Hongsheng would have such an attitude, he spread his hands and said, "Director Wang, you have also seen that material research is like this, no matter how important it is in reality, just looking like it is not popular." The technicians of Jingshi Machinery are reluctant to engage in materials and processes, and only want to make large machines. That's why. If we don't change this layman's evaluation mechanism, our scientific research will always be superficial. Unable to get to the bottom line. ”

Qin Hai had already spoken to Cui Hongchun a few years ago at the Ministry of Agriculture, and at that time, he had already recognized the shortcomings of such great joy in China's administrative system. At that time, Cui Hongchun accepted his proposal and proposed new materials and new processes as the key link to comprehensively improve the level of domestic agricultural machinery. This time. He wanted to use the platform of the Planning Commission to spread this concept to the entire industrial system.

"You're right." Wang Hongsheng understood what Qin Hai meant, he nodded, and said, "Our previous work. It is true that there is such a mentality, whether it is subjective intentional or unconscious behavior, there is such a tendency. When the central leaders came to us for investigation, they also had this attitude. For example, when someone else has a 200-ton dump truck, the leader asks: Can we build it? If they had heard that we could make it, they would have been satisfied. As for factors such as work efficiency, service life, noise, etc., they don't pay much attention to it. ”

"That's why we've built a lot of the world's first large-scale equipment, but it's often flashy, and it's not even half as efficient." Qin Hai commented unceremoniously.

"This ...... It can be regarded as the rules for the ministry to do things. Wang Hongsheng admitted with a smile that since he was willing to discuss this topic with Qin Hai, he didn't care if Qin Hai was outspoken. In fact, in his own heart, he also felt that this kind of rule was very problematic, and it was time to change.

"This kind of rule kills people, so Jing Shiji will avoid the truth like this, it is the result of being guided by this kind of rule. The philosopher said well, the most important thing to do a good job is to educate leaders. Qin Hai complained endlessly.

"Xiao Qin, what do you think about changing this situation?" Wang Hongsheng accepted Qin Hai's criticism and sincerely asked Qin Hai for advice. He knew that Qin Hai's mind was active, and since he saw the problem, he should be able to come up with a solution.

Qin Hai offered advice: "Can we create a momentum in public opinion, and publicize the importance of materials and processes in the manufacturing industry, so that leaders can change their concepts." ”

Wang Hongsheng said: "Public opinion building must be done, you think about it, organize Professor Chen, Professor Li and them to write some popular science articles, and I will arrange for the media to publish them." However, this kind of public opinion building has a more obvious effect on the ordinary masses and grassroots cadres, and it may not be effective for high-level leaders. You know, the central leadership is very busy with work, time is tight, and there is not so much time to read such articles. ”

"So can we consider handing over a special internal reference to the leader?" Qin Hai asked again.

Wang Hongsheng shook his head and said: "Leaders may not be able to understand such professional content. After all, materials are not strategic technologies like two bombs and one satellite, and the leaders all consider macro issues and will not waste time on such specific technical details. ”

"Materials are also a matter of strategy, right?" Qin Hai said indignantly, "The deck steel used for aircraft carriers, only the United States in the world can do a good job, and even the Soviet Union can't catch up in this regard, let alone let's talk about it." How is it that such a technology is not a strategic technology? ”

Wang Hongsheng said: "You are right, but leaders have a way of looking at problems. What is going on with deck steel, what technical performance indicators to achieve, what are the current difficulties, these are very specific technical problems, how can leaders have time to study in detail? ”

"Our leaders are too ...... It's shallow. Qin Hai commented half-jokingly and half-helplessly.

Wang Hongsheng glared at Qin Hai and said, "Don't talk like this all day long, you are now a staff member of the Planning Commission, although you are hired temporarily, you also represent the image of the Planning Commission." This kind of evaluation of the central leadership has a very bad impact, you know? ”

Qin Hai naughtily stuck out his tongue and said, "Director Wang, you know that I am such a person, when there are leaders present in the future, I will try to avoid it." Let's get down to business, Director Wang, how do you think we can make the leaders realize the importance of materials technology? ”

Wang Hongsheng raised his head and thought for a while, and asked, "Xiao Qin, I heard you talk about such and such materials, and I think it's all interesting." Can you organize a material science and technology exhibition, I want to find a way to get the central leadership to visit once. It is better to see than to hear, and if they have seen something with their own eyes, they will have an impression. At that time, if we raise the issue of changing the concept of evaluation, it will be easier for them to accept it. ”

"Materials Science and Technology Expo?" Qin Hai was stunned for a moment, and then thought quickly in his mind. He took stock of all the materials he could find, imagining which materials should be displayed in what way, and how to best express the magic of material technology. Thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded: "Director Wang, your idea is really good, as long as you can invite the leaders, I promise to open their eyes." ”

"Okay, then we'll make up our minds." Wang Hongsheng knew that Qin Hai was still relatively reliable, and he said, "By the way, what conditions do you need, and how long do you have to prepare?" ”

Qin Haidao: "I need a large exhibition hall that can open 50 large booths at the same time. In addition, I need to ask some well-known materials scientists and research institutions in China to cooperate, and this may require a document from the Planning Commission. As for the preparation time, I think about a month should be enough, and there are some materials that need to be made into exhibits to attract the attention of the leaders. There are also some things that cannot be directly observed, and it is necessary to make zuò pictures, slideshows, etc., which also take time. ”

"A month, a little rushed." Wang Hongsheng said, "The work schedule of the leaders should be arranged two or three months in advance. If we were to do this exhibition in a month's time, it would be a bit too nervous to make a request to the office now. However, you don't have to worry about this matter, I'll just find a way to solve it.

I have only one request to you, that is, the things on display must achieve the effect of shocking the leaders, you must know that it is not easy for us to organize such an exhibition, and it is even more difficult to invite the central leaders to visit. If it doesn't work, it's hard to explain. ”

"Understood." Qin Hai resoundingly agreed, "Director Wang, don't worry, I promise that I can make the leader come here and return satisfied." ”

"Okay, then you should hurry up and prepare, and I'll report to the director about inviting the leader to attend." Wang Hongsheng said. (To be continued......)
