Chapter 318: Capitalists are mercenary
Qin Hai's words were not high-profile. As a time-traveler, he has always had a desire to be able to do something for the country and the times, and in the past few years, he has done many times to implement this idea.
The idea of establishing a material academy had been conceived by Qin Hai long before the crossing, and in this life, after he found the first pot of gold with the help of gold fingers, his desire was even stronger. If you want to ask him what is the purpose of establishing the School of Materials, the first thing he can say is to revitalize China's materials science, which is not a rhetoric on the scene.
The scholars present are skeptical of these remarks. If you want to say that you believe it, it is because they have heard about some of Qin Hai's actions and know that this person does have a heart for public welfare, and it is not surprising that there is such a move now. On the skeptical side, it is that Qin Hai's investment in the School of Materials is too huge, and a rich man takes out 108,000 yuan to do public welfare, and everyone can understand that one investment is hundreds of millions, which is too shocking.
Qin Hai looked at everyone's expressions, smiled, and said, "With these words just now, do you think my tone is too high?" Alright then, I'll just say something a little lower. Everyone knows that I am a capitalist, and everyone knows that capitalists are mercenary. Since I dare to spend so much money to build this materials college, it is naturally because I can make my own profits from it. Do you believe this? ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. If you want to say that you don't believe it, you can't help but give Qin Hai some face. But if you want to believe it, everyone really can't think of it for a while, how can this room of people be able to create a value of hundreds of millions of yuan, so that Qin Hai can recover a huge investment. You can also get a profit.
Qin Hai did not wait for everyone's answer, he continued: "The investment in the construction of the Institute of Materials is very large, and it will also require a huge amount of money to maintain the operation of the School of Materials in the future. No matter how high my consciousness Qin Hai is, it is impossible for me to bear such a big financial pressure, so. The School of Materials must be able to earn money on its own, and this needs to be entrusted to everyone here.
When I say this, I'm afraid that some teachers will be worried, worried about whether I, Qin Hai, will learn to crow in the middle of the night, forcing everyone to get up and work. Rest assured, this kind of thing will never happen. ”
Everyone laughed, and they also knew in their hearts that Qin Hai couldn't do it so extremely, but hearing it now. They still didn't understand what Qin Hai planned to let them do.
Qin Haidao: "I plan it this way, everyone comes to work in the School of Materials, and the working hours are arranged according to the unified arrangement of the country, eight hours a day, six days a week." It doesn't matter if you're used to working at night, or if you work flexibly. It's okay to arrange it yourself, and I fully believe in everyone's academic ethics.
For everyone's time. I would like to break it down into three parts. The first part is for teaching, which will take up about 1/10 of everyone's time; The second part, for earning money for me, this part, I hope not less than 1/10......"
"Not less than...... Is it more than that? An impatient scholar asked.
Qin Hai shook his head: "Not less." is more than or equal to. In principle, as long as you can ensure that you can devote 1/10 of your time to complete the scientific research tasks I propose, the rest of the time can be freely used by you to do the scientific research work that everyone is interested in. ”
"A tenth of the time?" Someone began to figure it out. "Mr. Qin, do you mean that we have 3 days a month to do the tasks you assigned, and the rest of the time is our own?"
"Let's just put it that way." Qin Hai said, "Everyone is the best material scholar in our country, I invite you to come here, I don't want to delay everyone's future in scientific research, so I just want to occupy 1/10 of everyone's time." The time for teaching is not occupied by me, and everyone also has teaching tasks when they are in their respective units, right? It is also everyone's responsibility to cultivate talents for the country, and I think you have no opinion, right? ”
"Nope!" The crowd replied unevenly that they did not refuse to take on the task of teaching, which was what they were used to doing. But for only 1/10 of the time to be able to help Qin Hai earn back all the investment, everyone still feels unsure. A female scholar named Zhang Yating asked, "Mr. Qin, you said that it only takes 3 days a month, 3 days...... What can you make? ”
Qin Hai looked at Zhang Yating, knowing that she was an expert in functional ceramics, and her main research direction was thermal ceramics, he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I need a ceramic resistance material, the resistance value is relatively small under low temperature conditions, when it reaches 100 degrees Celsius, with the increase of temperature, the resistance value rises exponentially, and the resistivity will increase by 3 to 4 orders of magnitude. ”
"The material you are talking about is the PTC thermistor that I worked on in the past. The specific temperature parameters need to be measured through guò real yàn, if the real yàn conditions are complete, I estimate that it should be able to come up with half a month, right? Zhang Yating hesitated for a moment and replied.
To study a PTC thermistor from scratch, half a month is of course far from enough. However, Zhang Yating had already studied this kind of material and was very familiar with the relevant literature and principles, so in this case, it would naturally not take much time to make a result. Qin Hai asked her about this product, in fact, it was also considered in advance, if she asked about other products, Zhang Yating's answer would definitely be different.
Qin Hai nodded and said, "Teacher Zhang, do you know how valuable this achievement is to me?" ”
"Thermistors...... I know it's a lot of importance to be used for overheating protection in motors, but how much is it worth...... I can't figure it out, this thing can't be too expensive, can it? Zhang Yating said.
Qin Haidao: "I plan to use it for the control of electric kettles, at present, families in Western countries generally use small electric kettles, electric kettles sell no less than 10 million units a year, counting 1 US dollar for each temperature control element, this is the market of 10 million US dollars, do you think it is small?" ”
"$10 million!" Zhang Yating was stunned, she never thought that such a small thing could do such a big thing. If she is facing something in such a large market, of course, she can't be too sloppy, maybe she needs to study it a little more thoroughly, but even so, the difference between input and output is shocking enough.
Qin Haidao: "I'm just giving an example, even if there are 10 million US dollars in this market, we can't win them all, but if we get one percent of them, there are also 1 million US dollars, which is enough to make up for my efforts to hire Mr. Zhang to work in the School of Materials, right?" ”
"Ha, that's still my loss!" When Zhang Yating heard that her work was able to create such a big profit, she was overjoyed, and couldn't help but joke with Qin Hai, "No, no, Mr. Qin, you have exploited me, and I ask for a commission." ”
"If you can really research it, I'll give you a commission." Qin Hai said.
"Don't, I'm just joking." Zhang Yating saw that Qin Hai's words seemed to have some serious meaning, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, she didn't want to leave an impression of greed for money in front of everyone.
Qin Haizheng said: "I'm serious. In the future, the experts of our School of Materials, no matter who can transform the results into products and create income for the School of Materials, can get a commission. The proportion of the commission will be discussed separately according to the difficulty of the results and the value of the creation. Part of these commissions is directly used as the remuneration of the inventor's individual, and the other part is used as a scientific research fund, and then invested in the inventor's real room, what do you think? ”
"Agreed!"
This time, everyone's answer was unanimous, and they all saw their own value from this small example cited by Qin Hai, and also saw the benefits that such a distribution method could bring to themselves.
Every scholar who studies something, if deliberately extended outward, can produce valuable and productive results. However, in the past, they stayed in school, did not have access to the production department, and did not know how these results could be translated, nor what kind of value they could create. Now, Qin Hai opened a door in front of their eyes, letting them know that knowledge can be transformed into productivity and can earn a lot of money.
Part of this money can be used to repay Qin Hai's efforts, which the experts are willing to do, after all, only in this way can they enjoy the existing conditions more comfortably. The other part, listening to Qin Hai's meaning, is willing to give feedback to them as their personal income and additional research funds. If this can be done, it means that their research work can be self-circular and thus continuous.
At this moment, everyone is thinking about their own research, and some people are even eager to start research right away in order to produce useful results. As for how much time it takes to make these results, no one cares, but in fact, isn't it scientific research to do theoretical research and applied research? Why bother with it for yourself or for the Academy?
"Okay, now that you understand the operation mechanism of the academy, please come up with your own research ideas and the conditions you need. As I said, you will be the masters of the college in the future, Dean Long and I are all serving everyone, what you need, we will provide you with something, and we will definitely create a relaxed and pleasant scientific research environment for everyone. Qin Hai said with a smile.
"Mr. Qin, I've already thought about it, I'm a ...... engaged in electronic materials"
"Mr. Qin, does our college have any intention to ...... electrical functional materials?"
"Polymer ......"
"Optical Fiber ......"
The crowd shouted as if offering treasures. (To be continued......)
