According to the usual practice, after the leader takes office, he will conduct a survey of all units and departments in order to better carry out his work.

Wang Xichang, member of the Standing Committee of the Xiangjiang Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor, also started to investigate enterprises non-stop after investigating several districts and several important bureaus and commissions.

Longkou Industrial Zone is a top priority, and NB Electric, located in the Lohu District, is not on the list of companies surveyed. When passing by the NB Industrial Park and seeing the big blue logo of NB Electric and the slogan of "Dream Changes the Future", Vice Mayor Wang was on a whim and suddenly wanted to go in and have a look.

temporarily changed the itinerary and made the secretary general of the municipal government who accompanied the investigation anxious. while signaling Secretary Han to call the leaders of China Merchants Longkou Industrial Zone and tell them not to wait; At the same time, I contacted Secretary Zhang and District Mayor Kong of Luohu District and asked them to arrange it quickly.

As soon as Li Xiaoshan received a call from District Mayor Kong, he hurriedly put down his work and ran outside the park to greet him.

Vice Mayor Wang was full of interest, and asked while walking along the main road: "Mr. Li, the factory is doing a very good job, designed by Hong Kong designers?" ”

"Wherever there are Hong Kong designers, they are all planned by the Municipal Planning Bureau and designed by the Municipal Architectural Design Institute, but we also put forward some of our own opinions."

The tall steel structure workshop, lush greenery, neat and tidy hygiene, and the surrounding factories form a sharp contrast, Vice Mayor Wang said with emotion: "Planning and design is very important, if all planning and design into your NB electric, but also to make greening, the whole city can come to a big change." ”

This is clearly addressed to the Secretary-General of Cuba. Li Xiaoshan hehe There is no re-interface.

When I saw the signs of the experimental base of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Polytechnic University and the University of Science and Technology in front of the experimental workshop. Vice Mayor Wang stopped and asked curiously: "Mr. Li, why are so many Hong Kong universities willing to cooperate with your group and award master's or even doctoral degrees to your researchers?" ”

"Industry-university-research, there's nothing to say. As for the degree, it can only be obtained if the researcher is admitted to the graduate school of these universities and successfully passes the graduation defense. In addition, there is a certain limit on the number of places, and not every researcher can become a doctorate. ”

"Then why don't they train in their own university laboratories or institutes?"

"Hong Kong and German universities are not allotted." Li Xiaoshan patiently explained: "For them. The quality of education is as important as employment, and if the college students cannot find a job, it will inevitably affect the reputation and even the ranking of the university. In addition, university laboratories and research institutes train research-oriented talents, while corporate laboratories like ours train practical talents.

At the same time, whether in basic research or technical application, we NB Electric has made a little name in the world in recent years, such as the 'giant magnetoresistive effect' in the field of quantum mechanics, such as the vortex spray fire-fighting equipment being used in Kuwait, and some contributions to environmental protection and clean energy.

So for the students. Having a track record of research and working in the NB laboratory can greatly benefit future employment. It's like recruiting. No matter which business likes to recruit workers with work experience. ”

Inside is high-tech, Vice Mayor Wang suddenly became interested, pointed to the retractable door and asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, can we go in and have a look?" ”

The city leaders visited to give NB Electric face, followed by TV reporters, and going in for a turn is equivalent to advertising NB Electric for free, to everyone's surprise, Li Xiaoshan actually shook his head apologetically and said: "Mayor Wang, I'm really sorry, you really can't go in." ”

In front of so many people being rejected, Vice Mayor Wang was embarrassed and was about to find an excuse to cover up the past, when a luxury passenger car with a Hong Kong and Macao license plate drove over. The doorman of the experimental workshop pressed the telescopic door switch, and the bus passed by and stopped directly in front of the experimental building.

Hong Kong people can enter, but Chinese are turned away, and they are not ordinary Chinese, they are dignified members of the municipal party committee, standing committee members, deputy secretaries and executive vice mayors!

This is not a concession, Wang Xichang's face was even more unbearable, and he asked expressionlessly: "There are secrets, are you worried that we will leak them?" ”

Li Xiaoshan complained bitterly, and hurriedly explained: "Mayor Wang, there are two reasons why you can't go in, one is that you came too suddenly, if you notify me early, I would have better make some arrangements; The second is that it is not at the right time, and the car that just entered is full of some special guests, so it is best not to disturb it. ”

It was simply a copy of "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter", Secretary General Gu gritted his teeth angrily and asked coldly: "What are the arrangements, what kind of guests?" ”

Don't say hello, just come, don't look anywhere, you can enter if you want to?

Li Xiaoshan was also unhappy, and said bluntly: "Mayor Wang, Secretary General Gu, the laboratory does have secrets and business secrets. Without signing a confidentiality agreement, no one, including me, is allowed to enter, and the last time the permanent secretary did not enter; As for the guests in the car, don't let me introduce you to one or two of them. ”

As he spoke, an old man in good spirits, accompanied by a young man, took the lead out of the bus. Looking at that familiar face, Secretary-General Gu was taken aback, and leaned over to Vice Mayor Wang and said in a low voice: "The one in front is Mr. Gu, and the one in the back is Chairman Zhong of the Federation of Hong Kong Industries." ”

Even the leaders of the country have to treat Hong Kong business tycoons with courtesy, Vice Mayor Wang realized that he was really not qualified to move forward, and hurriedly said: "Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Gu, then we will wait outside." Secretary Han, what are you still doing? Report immediately to the Permanent Secretary. And Mr. Li, you are busy with yours, go and receive it, leave us alone. ”

Li Xiaoshan shook his head and smiled: "I can't say one, two, three, or four when I go in, so I'll accompany you inside." ”

Vice Mayor Wang's face turned straight and urged: "Go, it's really okay." ”

"Mayor Wang, there is our chief engineer inside, and I will only cause trouble for them if I go. Otherwise, let's go to the opposite office area and wait, Mr. Gu and they will definitely go over and sit down after visiting the laboratory. ”

"No, it's polite to wait here."

At the same time, the charter was accompanying Mr. Gu, Chairman Zhong of the Federation of Industries, President Gao and others to change clothes. Seeing that Sun Xiaoguang and the three of them couldn't hide their excitement and walked in, they smiled and introduced, "Everyone." These three are Director Sun Xiaoguang of our Systems Engineering Laboratory, Director Huang Li'an of Technology Application and Director Wei Huaming of the Experimental Workshop. What to see next. All of them are condensed with their hard work. ”

"Young and promising, all so young and promising, three, I'll trouble you later."

As soon as Mr. Gu's words fell, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses quipped: "Director Sun, we are peers, aren't you afraid that I will rob you of your job?" ”

Ng Kam Wah, former Vice President of the Hong Kong Productivity Council. JP, graduated from the Department of Electronic Engineering of the University of Hong Kong Chinese, Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a senior member of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of the United States, and worked as a R&D supervisor at Bell Laboratories in the United States.

After returning to Hong Kong, he successively served as Chief Engineer, Director and Deputy General Manager of Hongkong Electric and Vice President in charge of Corporate Innovation of the Hong Kong Productivity Council. Although he resigned from public office, he is also a director of the Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre, a member of the Innovation and Technology Division – Promotion of Innovation and Design Steering Committee, and a member of the Electrical and Electronic Industry Advisory Committee.

Having dealt with him before, Sun Xiaoguang was no stranger to him, and said sincerely: "Mr. Wu, all my colleagues, including me, believe that if you can't retain first-class talents. Then we NB Electric will never become a first-class enterprise. ”

Today I just came to see, as for whether they will accept the invitation of NB Electric, it is still unknown. Chairman Zhong of the Federation of Industry wasted no time in smiling and said: "What a first-class talent, what a first-class enterprise!" Ladies and gentlemen, the media's claim that NB Electric is the hope of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry has always been exaggerated. But now I think the media has a point, because I really see hope. ”

"Dreams change the future, and we've been working hard for that."

The charter opened the security gate leading to the No. 1 laboratory workshop and greeted, "Everyone, please, I hope what you see next will not disappoint you." ”

Principal Gao quipped, "I'm still selling Guanzi, Mr. Zhang, if the contents disappoint me, then you have to add 30 additional places to CUHK for the entrepreneurship plan." ”

The charter pretended to be pitiful, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "President Gao, there is an academic committee in the laboratory, it's not that I can't afford the money, but I really can't be the master." ”

The division of rights and responsibilities is clear, and Principal Gao secretly praised one.

Walking into Area A of the No. 1 experimental workshop, tall insulators appeared in front of everyone, and Huang Li'an introduced them unyieldingly: "Mr. Gu, Chairman Zhong, friends, this is the composite material provided by the basic research laboratory of our technology application laboratory, and the 220 kV, 500 kV and 1000 kV composite insulators are developed......

The withstand voltage test and impact resistance test have all passed, and the samples are being tested in the Swiss CGF laboratory, if all the tests are okay, it will be able to fully replace the current porcelain casing and solve the insulation problems in the field of ultra-high voltage and ultra-high voltage transmission. ”

No one knew the significance of this invention better than Guan Hao, and couldn't help asking, "Director Huang, what about the cost?" ”

"Lower than porcelain insulators."

"It's amazing."

Looking at the puzzled appearance of Mr. Gu and others, he studied at Nanhua High School in Hong Kong, and was admitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering of National Taiwan University with a bachelor's degree, and then studied in the Department of Electrical Engineering of the University of Hong Kong with a master's degree, and is a fellow member of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, a fellow member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers in the United Kingdom, and a chartered engineer in the United Kingdom.

Kwan Ho, who joined CLP Power and later became Vice President of CLP Power Hong Kong Limited after returning to Hong Kong, explained: "Insulation has always been a problem for ultra-high voltage transmission, and if this composite material is applied to other ultra-high voltage fields, it will be able to completely eliminate accidents such as insulation explosions, pollution flashovers and brittle fractures of power station equipment. ”

As soon as the connoisseur speaks, he will know if there is one.

Huang Li'an emphasized his head and added: "Mechanical properties, insulation performance is far better than porcelain materials, the weight is only one-third of porcelain insulation materials, we have calculated, if this new composite material is used as the transmission tower cross-arm, the tower height can be reduced by at least 8 meters, each base can reduce more than 12 tons of tower materials, reduce more than 12 cubic meters of concrete, not only has huge economic benefits and technical advantages, but also low-carbon environmental protection." ”

Interlaced like a mountain, Chairman Zhong asked with interest: "How much economic benefit can that create?" ”

Without waiting for Huang Li'an to speak, Guan Hao said like a treasure: "A high-voltage transmission line is dozens of kilometers short, hundreds of kilometers long, or even thousands of kilometers, can you imagine how many transmission towers are needed for a line?" If all the insulators and cross arms of this composite material are used, it will definitely save a lot of budget. I believe that it will be no problem to bring it to the market and make tens of billions a year! ”

A seemingly ordinary pillar can actually do tens of billions of output value a year, Mr. Gu and Chairman Zhong will be suspicious, and Wu Jinhua, former vice president of the Hong Kong Productivity Council, nodded and confirmed: "It is indeed a very remarkable invention, which is extremely valuable and competitive in the field of high-voltage transmission and distribution, and it should be no problem to do tens of billions a year." ”

High-voltage circuit breakers above 220 kV, transformers above 220 kV developed with composite materials, and other high-value-added high-voltage electrical samples appeared in front of everyone one after another.

The three electrical engineers were completely convinced, and while they were pondering how to negotiate the salary, the charter took them to the No. 2 experimental workshop.

One CT machine, two CT machines, three CT machines, from a simple prototype, to a decent prototype, to a spiral CT machine that is no different from those mature CT machines in the hospital, everyone is dazzled.

"This side is medical CT, opposite is digital X-ray machine, industrial CT and security doors and other extension products, imaging system developed by itself, including detectors, tubes and high-voltage power supplies, most of the spare parts are self-produced or domestic, double-layer scanning has reached the international level, is in the process of four-layer research and development. If you are not afraid of electromagnetic radiation, I can ask Mr. Jiang to help you do a full-body CT for free. ”

From an R&D point of view, this is easier than composite insulation. But it's not easy to make it. Principal Gao is an expert in the application of technology, and no one knows better how difficult it is to build it without sufficient basic industrial support.

Looking at the stunned looks, the charter continued: "There is no doubt that this is a huge system project, for which we have concentrated more than 80% of our R&D strength and invested hundreds of millions of funds, and finally caught up with our international counterparts." What we have to do now is to go beyond, we have to get the four-layer scan out before they do, and only when the four-layer scan is done will we bring it to market. ”

Principal Gao couldn't hold back any longer, and asked puzzledly, "Mr. Zhang, how did you do it?" ”

"Imaging software from Annsoft, control system from the system engineering laboratory, servo system from NB motor, materials and machining from NB industrial manufacturing, high-voltage power supply from technology application laboratory, film from NB laboratory in Berlin, chip from Taiwan R&D center...... Pooled all the forces we could, and just got it out. ”

"Ann soft?"

"A software outsourcing company that we control." After a pause, he pointed to a few researchers who were debugging equipment in the test room, and asked with a meaningful smile, "Principal Gao, would you like to say hello to your students?" ”

"They were involved in the whole process?"

"Not only was he involved in the whole process, but he was in the core team, but you don't want to poach him."

This is a CT machine that can only be manufactured by Western countries and Japan, Mr. Gu was excited, and looked at it for a long time in front of the tempered glass before turning back and saying: "It has reached the international level, and it can be put on the market to boost the morale of our Chinese." ”

The charter shook his head and said solemnly, "Without enough technical advantages and insufficient production capacity, I don't dare to take this risk." Because this is not only related to the huge investment before, but also the hard work of everyone here, especially Chief Engineer Jiang, who has worked hard for three years. ”

Without sufficient production capacity, Chairman Zhong's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I think you definitely need many enterprises to provide support, and the Federation of Industry may be able to help you solve this problem." ”

"I can't ask for it," the charter smiled, and said in a pun, "In the promotion of products, we also need the help of the Federation of Industry and Commerce." ”
