When Qin Hai came to Cui Hongchun's office, he saw that Chen Heqian had already arrived, and he was sitting side by side on the sofa with Cui Hongchun, discussing something passionately. Seeing Qin Hai come in, Cui Hongchun smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, and the secretary quickly found a stool for Qin Hai to sit down, and then he also sat down on the side, ready to record.

"Xiao Qin, today's cannon of yours has bombed us a lot." Cui Hongchun said to Qin Hai with a smile.

"Minister Cui, I didn't think it through, I was too reckless, I'll review it for you." Qin Hai hurriedly pretended to have made a mistake and said hypocritically.

"Professor Chen, do you believe he really wants to do a review?" Cui Hongchun pointed at Qin Hai and asked Chen Heqian.

Chen Heqian knew that these two people were bluffing, but he also secretly sighed in his heart. Cui Hongchun was able to make such a joke with Qin Hai, which shows that he sincerely admires Qin Hai, a young man in his early 20s, who is so lucky to be so favored by the deputy minister. Looking at Qin Hai again, facing a senior cadre like Cui Hongchun, he was able to talk and laugh without panic, and this calm and calm attitude is really rare.

Hearing Cui Hongchun ask himself, Chen Heqian had to smile slightly and said, "Xiao Qin is still too young and inexperienced. I ask for your forgiveness for making a rash statement at today's meeting. ”

Cui Hongchun waved his hand and said, "It's a good thing that young people are a little aggressive, besides, what Xiao Qin said today is not wrong, what do you need me to forgive?" By the way, Xiao Qin, after the meeting ended just now, I saw that Director Wang found you, what did he tell you? ”

"He told me to go to the division tomorrow and discuss with them the matter of revising the plan." Qin Hai replied.

"I'm going to have to trouble you about this." Of course, Cui Hongchun knew that Wang Changsong would do this, and if Wang Changsong didn't know to hold on to Qin Hai tightly at this time, it would be too dull. He said: "Director Wang, the plan they made. There is still some merit, and it cannot be completely denied. The ideas you put forward to strengthen the research of new materials and new processes should be supplemented, and you will discuss how to do it. ”

Qin Hai nodded and said, "I understand, I will learn more from Director Wang and other leaders in the department." ”

Cui Hongchun said: "Hmm. Then I'm sorry for you, this plan has to be taken out as much as possible, and time is running out. ”

"I'll do my best." Qin Hai responded.

After Cui Hongchun finished explaining this matter, he changed his expression and said, "Professor Chen, Xiao Qin, I specially invited the two of you here, in fact, I want to ask you for advice. Do you think that if we set new materials and new processes as the main goal of catching up with the international advanced level? Is it possible to achieve this goal? If so, how much time, how much investment? ”

Cui Hongchun is not a completely layman leader, he still knows some of the importance of materials and processes, so he will vigorously support Qin Hai's opinions at the venue. However, after calming down, he began to feel a little unsteady again. According to the original scheme. In three or five years, the agricultural machinery system can come up with a number of new equipment. This can be reflected as a political achievement. If the main goal is new materials and new processes, it will be difficult for him to explain if he does not produce any remarkable results at that time.

In fact, Wang Changsong did not regard the research and development of materials and processes as a key task, and they also considered this aspect to some extent. Sometimes it is difficult to see results in the research of materials for ten or eight years, which will make the face of the supervisor very embarrassing. Each leader has his or her own term. The kind of projects that do not bear fruit during their tenure are the least liked by leaders. Although Cui Hongchun is a far-sighted leader, he can't be completely exempt from vulgarity in this regard, and he also needs something to support himself, after all, he also needs to be responsible to his superiors.

"Materials are a century-old project. It's hard to do it overnight. Some well-known material companies in the old capitalist countries in the West have a history of hundreds of years and have formed countless accumulations of experience and patents, and it may not be easy for us to catch up with and surpass them in the short term. Chen Heqian said in a deep voice.

As a well-known scholar, he also has a lot of dealings with officials, and as soon as Cui Hongchun speaks, he knows what the other party is worried about. For this problem, he must give Cui Hongchun a preventive shot in advance, after all, there is no way to pack a ticket for this kind of thing in the research of new materials.

Qin Hai was also able to understand Cui Hongchun's psychology, and he had even considered this issue earlier than Chen Heqian. After Chen Heqian finished speaking, Qin Hai took it and said: "Mr. Chen is right, the research of materials science needs to have a long period of accumulation, others have been engaged in it for hundreds of years, and we must have at least thirty or forty years to reach the level of equal dialogue with others." But ......"

"But what?" Cui Hongchun keenly grasped the turning point in Qin Hai's words, he invited Chen Heqian and Qin Hai over, and what he wanted to hear was actually this "but".

Qin Hai smiled slightly and said: "I think we can divide the research of new materials and new processes into several stages, and strive to achieve some visible results in each phase." If we adopt the strategy of doing something and leaving others undone, concentrate on breaking through some technical difficulties, and at the same time take into account the accumulation of other technical problems, we can ensure that scientific research results continue to emerge, which is also conducive to stimulating the confidence of scientific research departments and production departments. ”

"By the way, that's exactly what I want to say." Cui Hongchun happily agreed, "What I am worried about is that I will not be able to see results for a long time, which will affect the self-confidence of the whole system. If you can produce some results in a relatively short period of time...... It doesn't take a lot, as long as there are three or five technologies that can reach the international advanced level, then it can effectively inspire everyone's confidence, and at the same time, it can also let the minister and the central leadership see the feasibility of our plan. ”

From Cui Hongchun's heart, inspiring the confidence of his subordinates is only a secondary purpose, and letting the minister and the central government see the feasibility of the plan is the main purpose. However, he couldn't say it so bluntly in front of Chen Heqian and Qin Hai, and it would be more high-sounding to put forward the motivation confidence as a reason.

Of course, Qin Hai understood the trick in this, in fact, the reason for improving confidence was also deliberately proposed by him to use as a ladder for Cui Hongchun. Hearing Cui Hongchun's words, he sank for a moment and asked, "Minister Cui, what is the relatively short time you are talking about, how long is it?" ”

"Three months, is it possible?" Cui Hongchun asked.

Trimester? Qin Hai thought quickly in his mind, the materials involved in agricultural machinery, mainly metal materials, there are some technical problems, Qin Hai has a relatively mature idea, if you find a research institution, a little mention, it is not difficult to come up with one or two achievements that have reached the world's advanced level within three months.

For example, some of the transmission chains used in farming machinery, the service life of domestic products is significantly lower than that of imported products, the main reason is that the steel strength of the manufacturing chain is not enough, if you replace a certain type of steel invented by later generations, it can effectively improve its service life and make it reach the international advanced level. Qin Hai couldn't accurately recall the formula and smelting process of this type of steel, but he knew the general idea, and as long as he found a few researchers to follow this idea to make a set of real products, he could solve the formula problem.

The problem is that the selection of materials for a chain is not brilliant enough, and it is difficult to achieve the goal that Cui Hongchun wants. Think about it, when the ministry has an office meeting, can you solemnly introduce the quality problem of a certain chain to everyone?

However, if you want to come up with enough amazing results, it is not something that can be done in three months, even if Qin Hai has a golden finger to cheat, there must be a suitable time.

As if seeing Qin Hai's embarrassment, Cui Hongchun smiled slightly and made a gesture to the secretary. The secretary comprehended, picked up a copy of Wen Jiàn from Cui Hongchun's desk, handed it to Qin Hai's hand, and said, "Qin Gong, please take a look at this notice." ”

"International Farming Machinery Fair?" Qin Hai took the text and glanced at the beginning, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Cui Hongchun's secretary handed him a meeting notice from an agricultural machinery professional association affiliated with the World Food and Agriculture Organization, which said that an international farm machinery and equipment expo would be held in Brazil three months later, and agricultural machinery manufacturers from all over the world would be invited to participate in the exhibition. Looking further down, there is a more interesting content, saying that in this expo, there will be a durability competition for the basic accessories of various farming machinery, which is a competition that fully demonstrates the technical strength of various manufacturers.

The so-called basic accessories, including ploughshares, harrow blades, rotary tiller blades, cultivator hoe blades, etc., are all consumable parts, which will gradually wear out due to friction with the soil during the tillage process. Improving the durability of these basic components can not only reduce the cost of the parts, but also improve the continuity of farming and reduce the labor expenditure required for equipment maintenance, so various parts manufacturers are sparing no effort in this area of research and development.

The durability of the basic accessories is ultimately the level of materials and workmanship. The purpose of the expo to carry out such a competition is to encourage manufacturers to actively develop new materials and new processes, and to stimulate the development of international agricultural machinery technology.

If Chinese manufacturers can achieve excellent results in such a competition, not to mention winning the championship and runner-up, even if it is only the top five, it is enough to make people feel excited. Linked to the progress made by Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory in the rotary tiller blade, Qin Hai immediately understood Cui Hongchun's intentions.

"I remember you said that the service life of the rotary tiller blades produced by Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory has been able to reach the average level of similar products in the Japanese market. Think about it, is it possible to tap the potential again to make the durability level of our domestic rotary tiller blades reach the top in the world? Cui Hongchun looked at Qin Hai's eyes and asked in an expectant tone. (To be continued......)
