Chapter 153: The Future of Paramotor
Xiao Yizhan was quite happy when he received Shen Yiyi's call. He was about to tell Shen Yiyi that the two papers on formulas she had given him earlier had now been published, but before he could say the good news, Shen Yiyi told Old Man Xiao about the problems she was encountering now.
Old Man Xiao is also a person who has been in the scientific research circle for a long time, so basically Shen Yiyi has almost just said a rough idea, and he already understands what is going on. Of course, he knows how important it is for the identification of scientific research results. In fact, as a scientific researcher, he also has a feeling of sympathy for Professor Chen. Whenever he wants to get an appraisal of the results, he also empathizes with the eagerness to find a way to get something like that.
After Shen Yiyi finished speaking, Old Man Xiao pondered for a while, and said to Shen Yiyi: "That's it, Yiyi girl, I think if your father really has trouble issuing that certificate, then how about I and Old Man An give him a certificate together?" Then sign the two of our names on the certificate. The names of the two of us still have a little effect in China. ”
Shen Yiyi listened to it one by one, and knew in his heart that Old Man Xiao had completely expressed his support for himself now. You must know that Xiao Yizhan and An Zhusheng are two big bulls in the domestic aviation industry. What can be verified by the two big bulls, does this credibility still need to be said? However, Shen Yiyi still felt a little embarrassed. She tried her best to say to Xiao Yizhan in a tactful way: "That...... Xiao Lao...... It would be great if you could prove it with Ann and Lao Er. I believe Mr. Chen will be very happy to get your proof. However, it seems that the requirements for the proof of the appraisal results are more special, and the unit that is generally issued by the unit must be stamped with the official seal of the unit. Do you say that Shen Fei and 606 can put an official seal on the certificate? ”
China is an official-based society, so the effectiveness of the official seal of the unit is far greater than the credit of any individual in all activities in the government system, and the appraisal of scientific and technological achievements as a part of the national scientific research system is naturally not exempt.
Xiao Yizhan listened to Shen Yiyi's words. He laughed on the other end of the phone. He laughed for a while before he said to Shen Yiyi: "Yiyi girl, I am also a person who has appraised many achievements, so of course the certificate of the appraisal of the achievements of Zhilu Dao must be stamped with an official seal." I won't forget that. Then he paused, as if to keep Shen Yiyi from feeling embarrassed, and Old Man Xiao said, "But your concerns are not meaningless. The official seals of Shen Fei and the 606 Institute are naturally in accordance with the principles of organization, and neither I nor An Zhusheng have the right to use them. But you don't know what to do. In addition to the apparent affiliation of the unit, Lao An and I also have an identity as a member of the AVIC Expert Advisory Committee. As the two representatives of the committee in Shenyang, we also have a co-leadership office, called the AVIC Flight Technology Expert Office, which is a unit with an official seal. You said that if you issue a certificate in the name of the expert office, isn't it much worse than your father's unit? ”
Shen Yiyi heard it one by one, and he was really overjoyed. AVIC's expert office is a technical think tank in the local industrial sector. It is also well-known in the defense industry system. If such an institution can issue a certificate of application to Mr. Chen, the validity of the certificate is not only not lower than that of the first teacher. It may even play a larger role in the scientific research system. That's great.
However, speaking of which, Old Man Xiao Yizhan talked about another thing.
"One by one, girl, I heard our Luo Yu and his father say, it seems that people from your military region have come to Shen Fei to ask about your paramotor, as if they want to equip a batch. The leadership team in the factory was a little strange, as if they had never heard of such a thing before. ”
In fact, as Old Man Xiao said, Shen Fei's leaders really felt very strange when they were asked about such a thing. At that time, the first reaction was whether the people in the military region were mistaken. We build airplanes. It's not an umbrella. However, the leaders felt strange in their hearts. I didn't say no right away, but just told the heads of the military region that I would find out about it. Although the military industrial complex is still far from the main battlefield of the market economy, this does not prevent them from smelling business opportunities from the troops' inquiries. In the years since the reform and opening up, we have been practicing the policy of "taoguang and cultivating obscurity," and the orders for the military industry have been reduced again and again. As a result, the major military industrial groups are having a hard time. You must know that these groups are behemoths, the number of employees at the bottom, and the complexity of the establishment of various institutions, it is really a scale. But now there are fewer orders, and the expenditure of personnel salaries cannot be stopped. Those leaders are in a hurry. Now that they see that their original single customer, the Air Force, and now even the field army has asked themselves about this, many of these leaders have started to think about whether it is possible to get some orders from the army. Of course, they also know that just from the name, the price of any paramotor will not be too high, and it will definitely not be comparable to the aircraft that cost tens of millions at every turn. However, the state-owned enterprises in the Northeast are generally not doing well, and no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. If there is really a profit, then even if it can only improve the treatment of a small number of people, it is a good thing. Driven by such a mentality, Shen Fei's officials naturally wanted to figure out what kind of sacredness this parachute that could drive the military region to inquire.
Luo Yu's father is a member of Shen Fei's leadership, and he actually probably knows that his father-in-law and son were really doing something new some time ago, so he asked his father-in-law, that is, Old Man Xiao, about it as soon as possible. Old Man Xiao also learned from him what Shen Fei's current leadership thought.
After Shen Yiyi learned about this situation from Old Man Xiao, she knew that she was now facing an opportunity to choose. According to her original idea, it was actually very simple. Getting a paramotor is just another way to prove your ability to your parents, and of course, it is also to help your father get a helping hand at the critical moment of promotion. After the things came out, she also felt that it would be a pity for such a big guy to work so hard to get something for so long, if it was only used as a one-time consumable for this exercise. She also thought about whether she could get a factory or something to produce this thing, and everyone could make a little money. But when it comes to mechanical processing factories, it's not like a catering or garment factory. The initial investment in a machine shop is very high. And even with the fixed assets such as the machine shop, it is the skilled workers and masters who are more valuable than these assets. The higher the performance requirements, the higher the requirements for the proficiency and understanding of the workers. Skilled workers are not the kind of migrant workers who can be recruited in factories wherever they go and post a notice. That's the elite of workers who have a certain level of education and are willing to use their brains to figure out what to do with it. Later, after breaking the lifelong work system and hierarchical worker system, Chinese mainland became a world-famous factory in the world, but the product performance and reliability have always been inferior to the equipment imported by Western industrial powers, and unfortunately it cannot become an industrial power, which shows that imported advanced machines cannot make up for the quality of people who use machines. This is a bit like what is often said in our military when emphasizing the quality of people, and we cannot "talk about weapons only." After Shen Yiyi thought about this problem clearly, he also extinguished the idea of launching the paramotor as a product immediately. The reason is very simple, her eldest girl doesn't have enough money now.
But now when Mr. Xiao talked to her about this on the phone, she knew very well that she was giving up this equipment and donating it to the country's equipment construction free of charge; Or in another way, make paramotor a profitable business in advance, and such an opportunity is right in the corner. The same invention, if the troops find it useful, then they will place an order to the factories of the country. Even if the state-run factory has not yet mastered the technology of this product, the state will immediately issue a scientific research task. For products such as paramotors, the technical threshold is relatively low. Shen Yiyi believes that if it really allows China's scientific researchers to spend time on research, they will be able to study it soon. What's more, in the process of researching his paramotor, he still borrowed a lot of external forces from Shen Fei and the 606 Institute. If AVIC really regards paramotor as a scientific research task, these two units actually already have technical reserves. So as long as they start doing it, they definitely won't have a chance. But now that Mr. Xiao is talking about this matter, maybe he can try another way to start the industrial layout of machinery in advance?
Shen Yiyi had a preliminary idea. She tried to ask Old Man Xiao, "Old Xiao, did you tell Uncle Luo about paramotor?" ”
"Yes, I told him." Xiao Yizhan readily admitted, "Even if I don't tell him, the leaders of the factory can get the news from the workshop." After all, we still have a lot of components that are processed there. Why, girl, don't you want me to tell the factory? ”
"No. I'm just asking. Shen Yiyi hurriedly denied it, she was not so stupid to think that it was useful to cover her ears and steal the bell, "Actually, I always think the same thing as you, sooner or later, the factory will find out, so I just tell them the truth." Moreover, there are many materials from the factory this time, and the workers and masters are also equivalent to voluntary labor, and the factory still makes great efforts to the paramotor. Mr. Xiao, I have an idea, just discuss it with you, what do you think after listening to it, you can also discuss it with Mr. An to see if what I think makes sense. ”
Xiao Yizhan listened to the idea that Shen Yiyi told him next, and the more he listened, the more he felt that Shen Yiyi's idea was really bold and interesting. (To be continued......)
PS: The opportunity came, and Shen Yiyi's big leap began.
