Chapter 66: "The Great Discovery"

Professional things are left to professional people, and the next negotiations with South Korea's four-star are fully responsible for Chen Hao, manager of the commercial department, and Henry Pearce, deputy manager of the overseas department.

Chairman Liu Siwei put all his energy on asset division, improving the rules and systems, personnel adjustment and management training. A series of procedures in Hong Kong and the mainland need to be changed, and nearly 3,000 questions from listing consultants and compliance lawyers need to be mocked and defended countless times. In order to ensure that NB Electrician can go public smoothly at the end of next year or the beginning of the next year, he must race against time and dare not slack off.

Everyone was busy, but the real boss of the charter became the shopkeeper.

Get up in the morning and take a run, take a shower and change into clean clothes to go to Hutchison Tea Restaurant for breakfast, after eating, take a bus to the subway station, and arrive at the destination - Hong Kong Chinese University at about 9 o'clock.

It is a fine tradition of Hong Kong companies to donate to education, and NB Electric also donated 200,000 Hong Kong dollars after moving its headquarters to the factory building in Kwai Tsing District, so he can not only freely enter and exit the library, but also visit the laboratories of the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Science.

A soak is a whole day, sometimes I even forget to eat lunch, under the gaze of the teachers and students of Chinese University, I go my own way, state function, microsystem, uncertainty, Bohr theory, Pauli's principle...... As long as there are books on quantum mechanics, he will not let go, and he will take notes while reading, and work harder than anyone else.

After more than a month of self-study, even the teachers and students of the School of Science were not surprised, as if they regarded him as a supernumerary student, and it felt a little strange that he did not come one day.

It was seven o'clock in the evening when I returned to the company, and just finished the design of the new panel, Lin Huixian was relaxed, and teased: "Running to Chinese University every day, is it a female college student who you fancy it?" Charter, it's not that Sister Lin said you, even if you want to have a girlfriend, you should go to middle school, otherwise when you become an adult, people will be old, and it will hurt others and yourself. ”

With the theory of quantum mechanics in her mind, how could she have the heart to joke with her, pointing to the second floor and asking, "Has the contract been signed?" ”

The negotiation with the four-star group was not practical for so long, and the reason why it has dragged on to this day is entirely to buy time for colleagues in the overseas department. Only by taking down the best quality agents and ensuring the market share of NB electrical switch panels will the four-star group switch director department use NB electric's advanced design and technology to expand its market share.

"Signed."

The signing ceremony in the afternoon was very grand, and Lin Huixian was still immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Needless to say, the OEM contract, the first batch of orders will be at least until June next year." In addition to exchanging 26 patents, Four Star also proposed to merge their design team with us to ensure the absolute superiority of both parties in design. ”

"Expected," he smiled, pointing to the tea restaurant opposite and asking, "I didn't eat, did you eat, if you didn't eat, we'll go over together." ”

Speaking of eating, Lin Huixian suddenly remembered the strange thing that happened today, and while pulling his arm to the elevator, she said eagerly: "Don't eat yet, come with me to the laboratory!" ”

"Why, what's wrong with the lab?"

"In the morning, you received a parcel after you left, and the poor sour Ru and Shen Yatou went crazy when they opened it, crying and laughing, and they didn't say anything when they asked them anything.

When I received a parcel, I cried and laughed...... As soon as he shook his fist, he raised his fist and waved it vigorously in front of his chest, and couldn't help shouting, "Yay! ”

Lin Huixian was taken aback, grabbed the arm he had just broken free, and asked eagerly, "Charter, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, I'm fine."

As he spoke, the elevator door opened, and he rushed to the door of the laboratory, shouting ecstatically: "Lao Guo, Sister Shen, don't steal fun inside, open the door quickly, and make me happy." ”

The door was opened by Shen Xinru, and Guo Junru was still sitting on the ground holding the English magazine, reading it over and over again, unaware of the charter and Lin Huixian's arrival.

"A New Breakthrough in Quantum Mechanics - The Giant Magnetoresistive Effect?"

Lin Huixian glanced at the title and asked with a puzzled expression: "Xinru, isn't it just a paper, as for making you crazy, I won't eat, and the door won't open, so I have been worried all day." ”

Shen Xinru glanced at her like an idiot, and said in an almost trembling voice: "This is not an ordinary paper, this is a new scientific discovery, a new scientific discovery that can allow us to go to the Solvay Conference." ”

"Solvay Conference, which country is Solvay in?"

What a physics idiot, he didn't even know about the most prestigious Solvay conference in physics, and he sat on the ground, grabbed Guo Junru's arms, and said excitedly: "Not only can I go to the Solvay conference, but I may also win the Nobel Prize in physics." ”

Guo Junru's eyes were glazed, and after a long while, he asked in a low voice: "Charter, tell me, is this all true?" ”

He didn't ask if he could attend the Solvay Conference or win any Nobel Prizes, but he still couldn't believe that the magazine in his hand was real.

As a doctor of electrical engineering, he can understand his feelings at this moment, and confirmed with a serious face: "It's true, if you don't believe it, you can pinch yourself and see if it hurts." ”

Ignoring himself, Lin Huixian was anxious, and blurted out: "Three great scientists, what is the use of this giant magnetoresistance effect that you have discovered?" ”

Shen Xinru proudly explained: "The giant magnetoresistive effect is a quantum mechanical and condensed matter physics phenomenon that we have discovered, which can be observed in the thin film layer structure between magnetic and non-magnetic materials. The resistance value of this structural material is related to the magnetization direction of the ferromagnetic material film layer, and the resistance value of the two layers of magnetic materials in the case of opposite magnetization direction is obviously greater than the resistance value when the magnetization direction is the same, and the resistance has a great change under the weak applied magnetic field, which has high scientific value. ”

I couldn't understand it when I told her, so she simply pointed to the magazine in Guo Junru's hand and said: "Nature is the world's earliest international scientific and technological journal, and since its inception in 1869, it has consistently reported and commented on the most important breakthroughs in the field of global science and technology. The fact that our findings have been published in the most authoritative journal of physics is enough to show how great the discovery of the 'giant magnetoresistive effect' is! ”

Sounds remarkable, Lin Huixian thought for a moment and then asked, "Then what is the use of this effect?" ”

"In the 50s, computers used to fill an entire room, but now computers are only a few tenths of what they used to be. Once our new discoveries are applied, they will greatly increase the storage capacity of computer hard drives, making the computers of the future smaller and smaller than you can imagine. ”

"Charter, are you saying that we will develop computer hard drives in the future?"

"No, the company doesn't have a plan, and it's just a theory, and it will take a lot of human and financial resources to make it happen, and it will take years or even decades. It's like Albert Einstein discovered the theory of relativity, but if he was asked to build an atomic bomb, he wouldn't be able to build it. ”

Lin Huixian was confused, pointed to the expensive instruments in the laboratory and asked, "Since it is useless to the company, what is it doing in research?" ”

The charter said with a straight face: "Whether a company can be respected depends not only on how many assets it has, not only on how many jobs it can provide, but also on how much it has contributed to social development and scientific progress!" Our new discoveries in the field of basic research will surely benefit all mankind in the future. And our company, especially our NB Laboratory, will definitely be respected all over the world. ”

The giant magnetoresistive effect is a great discovery, and it has indeed won the Nobel Prize in Physics for later generations.

The reason for plagiarizing other people's discoveries is entirely based on the company's future development considerations.

In the long run, if you put a satellite in the field of quantum mechanics, make a little "contribution" to science, and determine the status of NB Lab in the scientific community, who will accuse NB Electric of being an ambitious "grabber" of advanced technology in the future?

What's more, this "great discovery" can not only attract high-end talents from all over the world for the company, but also solve the nationality problem of him, Guo Junru and Shen Xinru. After all, holding a Panamanian passport is not a long-term solution, and if you want to really gain a foothold in Hong Kong and really go abroad, skilled immigration is the only shortcut at present.

Because of this, he doesn't care about anything these days, and he is obsessed with the theory of quantum mechanics to ensure that he will not be unaware when asked by others in the future.

Where did Lin Huixian know his good intentions, she actually shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Invest so much money, just for a respect?" ”

"Isn't that enough?" The charter asked rhetorically, turned around and said with a smile: "Lao Guo, Sister Shen, I think we should go to celebrate, and then come back to take a shower and sleep well, or how can we have the spirit to accept the congratulations of our international colleagues tomorrow?" ”

Guo Junru asked suspiciously: "Congratulations?" ”

"Lao Guo, this is a great discovery!" The charter put his arm around him and Shen Xinru's shoulders, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "You are now scientists, and you are still accomplished scientists, of course there will be many people to congratulate you." ”

Shen Xinru sighed lightly, and said with a bitter face: "Charter, the idea was proposed by you, Lao Guo and I are only responsible for verification, you are the real scientist, and we are the assistants of you, a scientist." ”

Don't make jokes, let alone talk nonsense.

The charter immediately stopped, and admonished with a serious face: "Sister Shen, Lao Guo, the three of us have signed the paper, and the giant magnetoresistance effect was actually discovered by the three of us. Say you are you, you are, no, you are! In the future, don't say these things that are out of tune, otherwise international colleagues will think that our academic attitude is not rigorous. ”

"yes, it's already signed, it's too late to say anything."

Guo Junru paused, and then said: "But the regulations, through the past few months of research, I am really interested in the magnetoresistive effect. Why don't we go a little deeper, try a few more materials, and see if we can reduce the resistance by another 10%? ”

"Of course," he nodded and said thoughtfully, "How far NB Electric can go depends entirely on how much results the NB Lab can produce." In fact, I wanted to divide the R&D center into three parts: basic research, systems engineering and application development, like Bell Labs, with you and Sister Shen in charge of basic research, focusing on electricity, magnetism and electricity and magnetism-related materials, so as to lay the foundation for the company's future development. ”
