Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Fox's Tail Is Exposed

In the blink of an eye, autumn has passed, the golden cinnamon is fragrant, and the frost forest is dyed.

In Shaohu Town, the earthquake epicenter technology exchange meeting held by the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Petroleum was also held as scheduled. It was also the highest-level meeting ever held in Shaohu Town.

A large number of troops and public security officers were dispatched to maintain order at the venue. Relevant leaders of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Petroleum, the Intelligence Institute of the Ministry of Petroleum, the Geophysical Exploration Bureau, and the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences all arrived from Beijing.

In front of the Exploration Bureau building, a row of crown cars and several medium-sized buses were parked.

In the conference room and lecture hall, many leaders of ministries and commissions were seated.

Zhao Yuemin, on behalf of the Jiangbei Oilfield Research Institute, once again focused on the previous research of the "plug-in shallow water source system". The volume and weight of this device are only one-tenth of that of similar French, European and American products, which is also the focus of Zhao Yuemin's introduction.

Director Liu of the Department of Science and Technology and other leaders of ministries and commissions all stared at the booth as small and exquisite, and the lightweight system that could be carried by one person. And nodded and smiled from time to time to encourage Zhao Yuemin.

Compared with the scientific and technological products displayed by other bureaus and research institutes, the diving of Jiangbei Oilfield shines.

The venue will be closed at noon. A group of people came to Shaohu Town to eat boat dishes.

The vast Shao Bo Lake has excellent scenery, with green trees on both sides of the river, lush greenery, and coiled with clear water. Overlooking the lake, the smoke is vast, and the fish sails are dotted. The oil extractors on the lake are rising and falling without being allowed to do so, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

Lunch is all authentic and fresh. The main products in autumn are steamed Shaohu hairy crabs, steamed mandarin fish, steamed white fish, etc. After the main dish is served, there will be several vegetarian dishes stir-fried using aquatic plants in the lake, such as stir-fried reeds with fragrant dried herbs, stir-fried gourd stems, and stir-fried pampas with dried shrimp in the lake.

Director Liu tasted the fresh river and was in a good mood, and said: "Zhao Yuemin, your diving ** source system is indeed very exquisite. To be honest, our domestic shallow water source technology developed relatively late. In the seventies, a company called Western Earth Logistics in the United States began to study this technology. However, in our country, it was not until 82 that we began to come into contact with this technology. ”

Director Liu took a bite of fish meat and continued: "However, compared to the late starting speed, it has not affected our technological development. I think your technology is much better than that French geophysical company. ”

Zhao Yuemin was also happy when he heard it, and immediately served vegetables to Director Liu.

However, with the increasing complexity of exploration areas in recent years, in order to be able to accurately and effectively explore water resources, the requirements for seismic wave quality are getting higher and higher. You also need to study how to expand the research field of the spectrum width of the source, broaden the frequency band width of the source, and improve the low-frequency output energy of the source. Director Liu said.

"Director Liu, your guidance is right. I toast you. Zhao Yuemin picked up his glass.

The evaluation of the earthquake technology exchange meeting lasted for three days.

Su Guoliang excitedly told Zhao Yuemin that the shallow water source system of the institute was awarded the first prize of outstanding scientific and technological achievements by the Ministry of Petroleum Industry in 1986.

Zhao Yuemin went to Beijing to receive the award on behalf of Jiangbei Oilfield.

This time, he was arranged by the Ministry of Petroleum in the first guest house of the State Department.

The award was presented in the Great Hall of the People.

Representatives of oil fields from all over the country rushed in and greeted each other familiarly.

At the beginning of the commendation meeting, rows of leaders on the rostrum spoke.

An hour later, someone quietly tugged at the corner of Zhao Yuemin's clothes and told him that it was his turn to take the stage.

Zhao Yuemin shook his spirits, slowly walked to the rostrum, and received the award certificate from the kind and kind Minister of Petroleum.

Listening to the applause from the audience, Zhao Yuemin looked up at the magnificent dome in the Great Hall of the People, thinking that he was not dreaming.

At luncheon, Director Liu leaned over with a wine glass.

"Xiao Zhao, you are in the limelight this time."

One is born, and the second is ripe. Last month, Zhao Yuemin and Director Liu just had a boat family banquet in Shaohu. This time, they met in the banquet hall, and the two were no strangers.

"Director Liu, thank you for the appreciation of the leaders of the Department of Science and Technology." Zhao Yuemin also raised his glass.

"How? After this award was awarded, do the comrades of your research institute have to roll up their sleeves again and do a big job? Director Liu said with a smile.

"Director Liu, actually, I have a few words I want to say to you...... Zhao Yuemin pulled him aside, looked at the other party and said, "If I say these two sentences wrong, you will be drunk talking." ”

"You kid......" Director Liu smiled, "Okay, the one who said it is not guilty." ”

"To be honest, the bonus of the Science and Technology Department this time is not enough for a month's equipment maintenance fee of our research institute...... Zhao Yuemin said with some criticism, "You know, our research institute was a Sino-Japanese joint venture, but it was established according to the best standards at that time." With so many sets of experimental equipment left by the Japanese, many spare parts and components had to be imported. There is a limited ...... in the amount of money allocated to the institute from the oil fields."

"Director Liu......" Zhao Yuemin swallowed a few glasses of wine, and he simply became bolder, and said bitterly, "To put it mildly, our Jiangbei Oilfield Research Institute relies on the profits saved by our machine repair factory and Red Star Industry to advance money......

After hearing this, Director Liu bowed his head slightly and said, "It's really not easy......

"So, Director Liu, we at Red Star Industry send hundreds of thousands of dollars to the laboratory every year, all of which support the national oilfield science and technology research......"

"You mean, you became Lei Feng for nothing?" Director Liu put the wine glass on the table.

Zhao Yuemin swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a while, and said: "No, the state and the bureau have limited funding and cannot support the daily maintenance of the laboratory." I thought, can the research institute be classified as a subordinate research institution of Red Star Industry? ”

Director Liu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Yuemin, your fox tail is finally revealed......

"That's not what I said, Director Liu. Our Sino-Japanese research institute costs more than one million yuan every year for the cost of light experiments plus maintenance costs. Only by throwing so much money down can so many new scientific and technological achievements be produced. If I completely return this institute to the ministry, will the ministry have any money? ”

"No matter how rich the ministry is, can it allocate so much money for your Jiangbei Oilfield Research Institute." Director Liu said categorically, "If this is the case, it will be unfair. What do those oilfield units with higher specifications than you think? ”

"Then you let Red Star Industry completely contract the research institute, okay?"

"The research institute is not an enterprise, how can there be such a thing as contracting?"

"Then assign the research institute to our Red Star Industry, and we promise to invest sufficient experimental funds every year......

"Nope." Director Liu shook his head and said, "The Ministry of Petroleum is subordinate to the research institute and is directly assigned to your large collective enterprise, which is unreasonable......

"Director Liu......" Zhao Yuemin complained.

"Yuemin, listen to me......" Director Liu leaned against the wall and said, "Your action is too big." And our science and technology department can't help at all. ”

"Then I'll look for Vice Minister Wu......"

"He can't help the old man. This has to be nodded by the comrades of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Commission for the Reform of the System. At present, there is no precedent for this in the country. I think it's very difficult to ......," Director Liu replied.

"What then? Our Red Star Industry still throws money into it every year, and has no reputation? Zhao Yuemin's eyes dimmed.

Director Liu stroked the hair line of his big back with his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Yuemin, if you really want to do this, I have a trick." You can apply to the province to establish Red Star Industry's own research institute. After its establishment, the comrades of the original institute can carry out part of the mobile ......"

Zhao Yuemin suddenly realized: "You mean, the original research institute is still open, but it's just an empty shell." All the researchers of the institute are on leave without pay to join the new institute? ”

Director Liu smiled and said nothing, patting his head and saying, "I drank too much wine today, and you can figure out the rest of the things yourself." ”
