Chapter 273: The Price of a Lifetime Honorary Professor

In the two days of waiting for the report meeting, the manufacturers were not idle. Some of them contacted the local technical department in São Paulo to test the samples of Chinese products they had in hand; Some simply sent someone to fly back to their home country to conduct the test in their own company. The organizing committee of the expo only carried out a test of wear resistance, and these enterprises needed to conduct a comprehensive analysis of this new technology.

Due to time constraints, it was impossible to test these samples in depth, but the preliminary test results were enough to shock them. The ceramic coating on all sample surfaces is homogeneous, dense and firm, which is clearly the result of a very mature process. Although some cutting-edge aerospace and aviation companies can do this, the Chinese should be using a completely different set of processes because their products are very cheap.

After getting the test results, the technical directors of various large enterprises couldn't sit still and flew to Brazil overnight. Since some testing work is entrusted to experts from universities and scientific research institutions, and these experts are inextricably linked with technicians in many other industries, for a time, the news that Chinese have mastered a mysterious thermal spraying technology spread, and countless people can sniff out the business opportunities. These people also dialed the airline's booking phone one after another, and for a while, there was a scene of hard to find tickets for planes from all over the world to Brazil.

"What's going on? Why are there so many unfamiliar faces? Brownlee, the secretary general of the expo organizing committee, looked at the various people pouring in from outside the venue, and asked his staff in surprise.

As the organizer of the Farming Machinery Expo, Brownlee has a lot of contact with large enterprises in the agricultural machinery industry, although he cannot say that he can casually call out the names of those presidents and directors, but he will be somewhat familiar with the bigwigs in the industry. But most of the people who are entering the arena now are things he has never seen before. In particular, some of the people who came in company uniforms and had the logos embroidered on their chests were clearly unrelated to agriculture.

Let's say, for example, a high-minded guy who just walked by, claiming to be from Rolls-Royce, isn't this company that makes aircraft engines? How did you get to the tillage machinery exhibition?

"Today the Chinese are going to hold a report on the thermal spraying process. It has been set in Lecture Hall 2. If we're not mistaken, these people should have come to hear this presentation. A staff member named Krizek reported.

"Lecture hall two? Isn't there room for 100 people? Brownlee reminded.

"Yes, the seats are filled right now, and we're looking for someone to move ......chairs into the lecture hall," Krizek said.

Brownlee raised his eyes to look at the crowd outside, and said, "Krizek, are you sure that Lecture Hall 2 can hold these thousands of people?" ”

"I want to ...... It shouldn't fit it. "Krizek was sweating.

"Don't hurry up and change places!" Brownlee yelled, "While there's no chaos yet, find a bigger venue." ”

"But our largest lecture hall can only hold 300 people at most, as is the trend. I'm worried that the final number will be more than 2,000 people. Or...... Are we taking some restrictive measures to get some people out? ”

Brownlee shook his head: "The origin of these people is not something we can afford to provoke at all, besides, it is an unprecedented achievement for us to attract these people to participate in such an expo, how can we drive them out?" ”

"But......," Krizek was embarrassed.

Brownlee was worthy of being the secretary-general, and he had the courage to make a decisive decision, and he commanded: "So be it." We've moved the presentation to the open air. You should go and find more stools right away, but if you can't do it, you can dismantle the shelves and use them as seats. And also. The most important thing is the audio equipment, go and remove the speakers in each lecture hall and put them in all corners of the venue! ”

"Understood!" The staff said yes and ran to carry out the order.

That's the advantage of the show being held on the farm, and outside the exhibition area, there is a large open space. Originally, it was used to test the performance of tractors, but now it has been converted into an open-air venue. The organizing committee of the expo has a very strong executive ability, and after a while, a temporary podium was set up at the end of the open space and a microphone was set up. In the middle of the clearing. It is filled with various chairs and supports that serve as chairs.

When the people who came to observe the report heard that the venue had been changed, they all rushed out of the No. 2 lecture hall, and some of the fast runners took the front row of seats, and the slower ones could only sit in the back, and they were a little muttering at first, but they soon became happy, because they found that there were more people who did not even grab the seats in the back, and had to find a place to sit on the floor. What's even more exaggerated is that a few cattle people couldn't find a seat, so they simply drove a few tractors from the exhibition area, parked next to them, and then climbed to the top of the tractor's cab and looked down on the entire venue.

Behind the podium, Li Linguang and Yue Kun, who had just returned from the city of São Paulo, were introducing several Brazilian professors to Cui Hongchun and Qin Hai: "This is Professor Rutenberg, a ceramicist, who is also a member of the board of trustees of the University of São Paulo; This is Professor Vanham, who is also engaged in materials science, and he is very researched in plasma spraying; This is ......"

After introducing the situation of several Brazilian professors, Li Linguang went back and introduced Cui Hongchun and Qin Hai to each other. Regarding Cui Hongchun's title of vice minister, several Brazilian professors only showed some respect, but when Li Linguang introduced Qin Hai, the eyes of several Brazilian professors widened.

"Li, this is the young man you said about solving the core technical problems of the thermal spraying process?" Rutenberg asked, surprised. Qin Hai's age is written on his face, Lu Tengberg had heard Li Linguang talk about Qin Hai in advance, and he also knew that he was very young, but he didn't expect that he would be so young. In his opinion, Li Linguang's ability to solve the key technical problems in the middle of thermal spraying is already very remarkable, who would have thought that the real technical master would be such a young man.

"I think Professor Li probably praised me too much, but in fact, I just put forward some ideas, and it was Professor Li and Professor Yue who really solved the problem." Qin Hai answered Rutenberg's question with a smile. However, the effect of his answer is to confirm the image of a technical expert, and at the level of Ruitenberg, he naturally knows how important it is to be able to come up with ideas, and as for solving problems under the guidance of this kind of thinking, it is not such a difficult thing.

"Mr. Qin, how did you come up with this idea? In the past two days, we have had a very in-depth exchange with Mr. Li and Mr. Yue on the thermal spraying process you developed, and your ideas to solve the problem are very excellent, which is simply a genius idea. Vanham was also full of praise.

"This ...... It could just be a flash of inspiration. Qin Hai replied with a smile, "I don't know much, so there is no inherent pattern in my thinking, and it may be easier to generate some new ideas." However, it was only thanks to the outstanding knowledge and hard work of Professors Li and Yue that these ideas were finally realized. ”

"Yes, yes, the knowledge of the two professors is outstanding, and we intend to confer on the two professors the title of honorary professors for life, and this matter has been submitted to the board of trustees for discussion." Rutenberg said, and for some reason, there was a hint of mystery in his eyes.

"Is this true?" Qin Hai noticed Lu Tengberg's eyes, he was suspicious, and under the pretext of pulling Li Linguang aside, he asked him in a low voice.

Li Linguang's face was slightly reddened, and he also replied in a low voice: "That's right, Lu Tengberg talked to me and Lao Yue several times, and it seems to be true......"

"That's a good thing, what, do you have any concerns?" Qin Hai asked.

Li Linguang said: "You don't know, Rutenberg made a condition, asking us to give them a thermal spraying machine for free, and they want to do this for free." ”

"Damn, this guy is so rape?" Qin Hai couldn't help laughing, "It's not a big deal, a thermal spraying machine, for two tenured honorary professors, it's not expensive." ”

"Isn't that expensive? We have more than 400,000 yuan for a piece of equipment, and more than 200,000 yuan for a title. Li Linguang said.

Qin Haidao: "It's okay, the wool is out of the sheep, let's sell a few more pieces of equipment to Brazil when we go back, and we will earn back the money for this one." Teacher Li, you must know that this title is too useful for us. No, I'm going to talk to this guy right now. ”

Qin Hai said, turned around and walked towards Rutenberg. Li Linguang stretched out his hand and wanted to grab him, but he was empty. Qin Hai walked up to Rutenberg and said, "Professor Rutenberg, you just said that the University of São Paulo is going to confer the title of Honorary Professors for Life on Professor Li and Professor Yue, I don't know when it will be confirmed?" ”

"This ...... It's something that needs to be discussed by the board, and the members of the board have their own jobs, and I'm not sure when the board will be convened. Rutenberg said.

"Can you be sure now?" Qin Hai ignored his prevarication and asked directly, "If we promise to give your school a thermal spraying machine......

"You mean, you promised to give us a thermal sprayer?" Ruitenberg's face turned sunny. He wanted to get such a device so much, and after talking with Li Linguang and Yue Kun, Rutenberg was sensitive to the fact that thermal spraying technology was about to usher in a period of great development. If he can get such a device earlier than his peers, it means that he can seize the opportunity to conduct research in this field, and how many high-quality papers will be waiting for him.
