A trip to the Middle East finally fulfilled Ka'an's long-cherished wish. For Qin Hai, this trip was even more fruitful. First, it confirmed a crude oil supply agreement with Flandin for the next ten years to ensure that Daqin Group can give priority to obtaining crude oil from Geizal in the face of changes in the international situation. Secondly, it clarifies the cooperation between the two parties in seawater desalination plants, desert water-retaining particles and lightning collection systems, which can bring more than one billion dollars in revenue to Daqin Group, and has a strong demonstration effect, which is conducive to the development of new business.

After completing these tasks, Qin Hai bid farewell to Flandin and returned to the capital with Tranquility. Some technicians such as Yu Lihong and Ka'an still have to stay in the local area to do some evaluation and design work, so Qin Hai doesn't need to worry about such things.

In the capital, there is another good thing waiting for Qin Hai, that is, after his years of perseverance and appeal, the central government finally approved the establishment of a coordination body at the national level aimed at promoting the development of national materials scientific research and materials industry, called the National Materials Industry Promotion Center, which is attached to the Ministry of Information Industry. Qin Hai returned to the capital, just in time for the celebration of the center's listing. Or to put it more bluntly, this celebration has been delayed, and it will not be held until Qin Hai returns from abroad.

The ceremonies were carried out on a large scale, and there was no need to elaborate on all kinds of red tape that disturbed them. The center has just been established and has not yet formed a team, and most of the organization and reception work is assisted by the Beijing Office of Daqin Group. At the end of the ceremony, the guests sent by various ministries to watch the ceremony left one after another, and Qin Hai accompanied Yang Xinyu, director of the center, and Li Linguang, chief scientist of the center, back to the conference room.

Yang Xinyu had already left his leadership position in the Machinery Committee a few years ago. He has only served as the president of one industry association. This time, the Material Industry Promotion Center was established, and he took the initiative to invite Ying to serve as the director of the center, and he also had the idea of exerting some residual heat. As for Li Linguang, he has been influential in the field of materials science and industry over the years, and this time he served as the chief scientist of the center. It's also a long-awaited return.

"Xiao Qin, you are very remarkable, so many ministries and commissions, enterprises, and universities have sent people to participate in the celebration today, I think most of it is for your face, right?"

As soon as Qin Hai and his entourage walked into the room and sat down, Ji Mingchu spoke with a smile. He is an old general, and he doesn't have to take care of other people's emotions when he speaks, so he has to at least make Yang Xinyu and Li Linguang, the two main masters, feel unhappy.

"Ji Lao, this is to pull hatred for me, the director of the center is Director Yang. The chief scientist is Professor Li, how can everyone come here for my face? Qin Hai made a gesture of reaching out to wipe his sweat and pretended to be embarrassed.

Having said that, Qin Hai knew in his heart that Ji Mingchu's judgment was right, after all, this center was only a public institution under the Ministry of Information Industry, and there were thousands of units of this level similar to them in the capital. No other unit has ever had so many people to celebrate it, in the end. Or is his Qin Hai's appeal big enough.

Qin Hai only has the title of a director in the Material Promotion Center, but everyone knows that he has the greatest right to speak in the center, and it can even be said that this center was established for him, Yang Xinyu and Li Linguang are just people who guard the stall for him.

Since the development of Daqin Group, the scale of assets has reached hundreds of billions. It is involved in almost all material fields, especially in the two largest fields of steel and chemicals. Just having money is not enough to command the world, and the most important thing is that Daqin Group has an unrivaled hegemony in material scientific research.

Someone has done a rough statistic. A quarter of the most influential material experts in the country are in Anhe Institute of Materials, a quarter have worked in Anhe Institute of Materials, and a quarter have more or less been funded by Daqin Group. I am afraid that I can't even find a quarter of those who really have nothing to do with the Daqin Group, and they are often biased towards certain unpopular fields.

Materials are the foundation of industry, and they are also the most important part of the entire industrial system. Over the years, Qin Hai has led Daqin Group to focus on the field of materials and achieve brilliant achievements. But he knows that it is impossible to support the entire country's material industry by relying on only one enterprise, and the development of the industry needs to be completed by countless enterprises. In his many years of practice, he has personally felt the negative impact of various disorderly competitions, so he has strongly promoted the establishment of such a coordination body.

Qin Hai's idea has been endorsed by many people of insight from the central ministries and commissions to grassroots enterprises, especially some influential old leaders and big-name experts and professors, etc., who have continuously responded at various meetings, and finally the establishment of this material industry promotion center. Ji Mingchu said that everyone was in front of him Qin Hai's face, which is a well-known fact.

Yang Xinyu also greatly agreed with this, and he smiled and echoed Ji Mingchu's words: "Ji Lao is right, our center can be established mainly because of Xiao Qin's credit, Professor Li and I also took over this burden because of you." ”

"Director Yang said this, just roasted me on the fire, Xiao Qin, I'm really ashamed. You are all my seniors, I am just a small generation, what can I do, dare to let you help me like this. Qin Hai smiled and thanked everyone one by one.

After laughing, Wang Hongsheng coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Qin, now that the center has been established, you are the initiator of the center, take advantage of this time to tell us about your next step." ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Qin Hai is colorful.

"Okay, let's listen to it together and help you check it." Ji Mingchu said unceremoniously, then changed to a more comfortable position on the sofa, and made the appearance of preparing to listen to Qin Hai's long speech.

Qin Haidao:

"Regarding the purpose of the establishment of the Materials Industry Promotion Center, we have also elaborated on various previous reports, and Director Yang and Professor Li have participated in the drafting of these reports, and Director Ji Lao and Director Wang have helped us point out the problems, so I will not repeat them.

The development of China's material industry has entered a fast lane. The material scientific research system is relatively complete, the talent accumulation is sufficient, and the scientific research achievements are doubled. After decades of development, the material industry has formed a huge system with a relatively complete category. The R&D and production of materials and equipment also have a good foundation, which can support the needs of faster development of the material industry in the future.

At present, the main problem we are facing is that there are still some gaps in the field of high-end materials, and there is still a gap with the advanced level of foreign countries; The structure of mid-end materials is not reasonable enough, and the production capacity of some materials is insufficient, so a large number of imports are required; In terms of low-end materials, there is overcapacity, and a large number of outdated equipment needs to be eliminated urgently. To sum it up in one sentence, the material industry needs to be upgraded. ”

"That's a good point." Yang Xinyu nodded and praised, "In the eighties and nineties of the last century, the main problem we faced was insufficient supply, so all walks of life focused on increasing supply, forming a large number of backward production capacity, and the high-end scientific research and accumulation were lacking. Now that the supply problem has been alleviated, it is time to readjust the structure and realize industrial upgrading. ”

Qin Haidao: "The situation that Director Yang said, when I participated in the governance of small iron and steel two years ago, I felt it very deeply. Those small iron and steel that were strictly ordered to be banned by the Economic and Trade Commission are precisely the projects that we vigorously supported more than ten years ago. In the late 80s and early 90s, this little steel was a treasure everywhere. ”

"That's right, there was a hairy boy who went to the engineering college, took a pot of liquor with three no-products, and tricked me into going to his small steel factory as a technical instructor......" Li Linguang replied with a smile.

"Uh......" Qin Hai scratched his scalp and was speechless. The hairy boy Li Linguang said, isn't it him Qin Hai? That's when they started to build a relationship, and it's been almost 20 years.

Ji Mingchu said: "At this time and at that time, there were reasons for doing this at that time, and we can't deny the expedient measures of the year because our economic conditions are better today and our technological level has improved." Just like when we talk about the mechanization and informatization of the army today, we do not mean to deny the millet plus rifle of the past, which is all limited by conditions. ”

"Ji Lao is right, it was necessary to do that back then. However, now that the times have changed, it is time to upgrade, and we must not be soft. Xiao Qin, you can continue to say what you think. Wang Hongsheng said.

"Okay." Qin Hai nodded and continued: "As we just said, the material industry pattern we formed in the past was an expedient measure taken under the conditions of material shortage and low production capacity. Now that we have a fairly strong industrial foundation, we should have more foresight in the future development, take precautions, aim at the industrial development trend in the next 20 or even 50 years, and choose a sustainable development path. We must not allow our descendants to pay the price for our biases today. ”

"That's a good idea." Wang Hongsheng said, "In the past, we were poor, so we could only make up and cope. Now that you have a little money, you should plan your plans and stop engaging in that kind of short-term behavior. ”

"Therefore, I think the most important work of our materials industry promotion center at the moment is to formulate a material industry development outline for 2050, as a blueprint for the development of national materials research and materials industry, and in the future, the country's industrial policy formulation, scientific research orientation, industry norms, etc., should be based on this." Qin Hai said impassionedly. (To be continued......)
