"The members of the jury are mainly high-level scientists from universities and research institutions, and 60% of them are from abroad. They read the status report of the research institute, listened to the report, conducted a field visit for about two days, and finally gave an evaluation......

The status report consists of three aspects: research activities, management and external relations. Among them, the content of research activities includes research concepts and strategies, the layout of key research areas, young scientists and visiting scientists, and the connection with domestic and foreign research institutions. Management aspects include budget, third-party funding, personnel structure, equipment and working environment arrangements;

External relations include teaching activities, appointments, awards and academic titles in universities, contacts with business, politics and society, special events and popular science. Status reports are bilingual in German and English and are between 100-600 pages in length......"

In order to ensure that German manufacturing is always in the leading position, the German government is very willing to invest in research and development, and R&D expenditure accounts for nearly 2% of GDP, which is higher than China's military spending.

The 1,500 DM funding requested by the laboratory from the Federal Ministry of Research and the Länder is a drop in the bucket compared to the entire R&D investment.

However, it will not be easy to secure these two grants next year.

Not to mention that the NB laboratory in Berlin is a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the West German research institute, even if they can level the bowl without any discrimination, they must meet all the evaluation criteria.

At this point, there is no room for bargaining.

Last year alone, the Federal Ministry of Scientific Research and the three major societies closed six research institutes on the recommendation of experts from a serious and old-fashioned review committee. Another 3 were redirected.

Whether or not it can successfully pass the review is related to the life and death of the Berlin NB laboratory.

I just finished talking to Dr. Klinsmann about sending people to the Middle East. Dr. Marcus, the director of the Academic Committee, and Dr. Christian and Dr. Frederick, members of the Academic Committee, heard the news. Discuss the preparation status of the first screening.

It's a battle for survival and a battle for honor.

Dr. Marcus had a grim expression, wearing a pair of wide-rimmed black glasses on his rectangular face, and two small eyes shining behind the lenses. Dr. Christian's face was white and yellow, and he was so thin that he was worried, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, but he was in good spirits, and he did not have the slightest depression.

Dr. Frederick was tall, with naturally curly blond hair. There are a pair of eyes full of wisdom embedded in the white square face, and a pair of nostrils appear particularly large under the high bridge of the nose.

"The concept and strategy have long been determined, that is, environmental protection and clean energy and new energy are being done now, and we are confident enough to pass the review in this regard."

Speaking of this, Dr. Marcus smiled a little rarely: "Zhang, my dear little capitalist, maybe you haven't had time to go to the garbage incineration plant site. With the assistance of their counterparts in Hong Kong. We have used computer simulation technology to completely improve the three incineration processes: temperature, residence time and sufficient agitation. Through a series of methods such as secondary injection of combustion air and artificial intelligence height control, the efficiency of power generation and pollution emissions can be reduced, especially in the emission of dioxin substances. We can bring it down to a level that has never been seen before. ”

Dr. Christian put down his pen and paper and added: "It is 27% lower than the Japanese design standard and 28% lower than the West German standard. However, it all has to be built on the basis of meticulous sorting process. ”

Times are evolving. It's no surprise that the arts are improving.

It's like the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan in later generations. Although there was an accident, it does not mean that Japan's nuclear power technology is not good. Just due to its huge investment. Once built, it is difficult to upgrade it.

The latter must be more advanced than the first, and this is the natural law of historical development. It is only in later generations that China will have those hateful tofu scum projects. Cutting corners, the new ones are not as strong as they were built decades ago, and there are problems of one kind or another within a few years of use.

The charter pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Dr. Christian, how many subordinate patents are there in improvement?" ”

"Sixty-three," Dr. Christian said with a smile, "and there are also forty-three of our own practical invention patents, but most of them are concentrated in the sorting process." ”

"Sorting?"

"Yes."

Dr. Marcus patiently explained, "There is nothing new in principle about sorting mixed household waste. However, we still want to carry out some forward-looking research in mechanical biological processing, and with the help of the great improvement of computer computing power in recent years, through the improvement of mechanical technology and the application of near-infrared technology, a relatively accurate material identification system has been developed. ”

It can not only meet the needs of the review, but also improve the technical content of the Berlin NB waste incineration plant.

The charter was extremely satisfied, and couldn't help laughing: "Gentlemen, I think that after our first power plant is put into operation, we can consider undertaking or investing in the second and third power plants." ”

"There's no doubt about it."

There's nothing more exciting than doing something that their West German counterparts didn't, Dr. Klinsmann and the others smiled knowingly.

They are well prepared, such as the staffing structure, equipment and working environment arrangements, external relations including teaching activities at the university, appointments, awards and academic titles, contacts with business, politics and society, etc., to meet almost all the requirements of the jury.

Long live 60 points, although the overall level is still far from its West German counterparts, but after all, the first step has been taken.

There was not much of a problem in surviving, and the charter finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say something, when Dr. Klinsmann turned around and said again: "Zhang, I know that the company is not very well funded, but I still want to ask you to consider whether you can leave this factory behind." ”

"Put Thomas. The Minzel Machinery Factory stayed? ”

"Yes, it's very valuable."

Dr. Klinsmann said in an almost pleading tone: "Zhang, you must know that the Japanese only provided drawings, and the main equipment such as the garbage incinerator is produced here, and the equipment and workers here save you a lot of money!" What's more, they can also provide after-sales service, and they can support themselves, and all they need is one or two million marks. ”

As he said, in addition to the purchased generator sets, wires and cables, as well as industrial appliances, high and low voltage switchgears and power transformers purchased from Chinese factories and Vietnamese factories, the machinery and equipment of the power plant are processed and produced here, which does save the company a lot of expenses.

One or two million marks is not a big number, it should not be much of a problem to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, the key is that NB Electric is an enterprise dedicated to providing power technology and services, interlaced like a mountain, except for the necessary generator sets, never considered the manufacture of machinery and equipment.

Hesitant about the charter, Dr. Klinsmann continued: "Chapter, most of them are borrowed workers, and their wages are 30% lower than those of West Germany, and they still have no regrets and are doing their work in full swing. My Friends Association is a talent pool, and you can find what kind of people you need. And what kind of production equipment you need, they can build you what kind of equipment. Please, give them a chance. ”

Thinking that both the former East Germany and the current Federal Republic of Germany are typical artisan countries, and the artisan culture is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, almost everyone is proud of having a skill. Realizing that if the factory was bought and these borrowed workers were kept, it would not only save a lot of money on equipment procurement for the large-scale investment in two years, but also accumulate some manufacturing experience for future large-scale generator set projects, so he asked, "Doctor, is it one million or two million?" ”

Dr. Klinsmann was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Zhang, you may not know that the Trusteeship Bureau has recently introduced a new plan, which selects the best and willing companies to take over the factory in a fiduciary manner. The Trusteeship Board plays the role of a 'silent shareholder' in the company. After the successful operation of the new company after the reorganization, the trusteeship office transferred its shares to an investment fund held by the East German people. The one or two million I am talking about is for the transformation of production equipment, in fact, you don't have to spend a penny. ”

The West German companies were not interested in East German companies, and the restructuring plan of the Trusteeship Bureau was half buy and half give.

The charter was happy, and he turned around and asked with a smile: "Mr. President, what do you think?" ”

Dr. Klinsmann had said this countless times, and Daniel did not consider it at all, considering that there were a series of troubles in the property rights, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he simply said bluntly: "Gentlemen, God knows what will happen to the equity in the future, and I personally think that it is very risky to entrust this factory, although it does save us a lot of money in the procurement budget." ”

This has become the base camp of the "Klinsmann's Friends Association", NB Electric does not take over the factory from the Trusteeship Bureau, there will be other companies to take over, no space, no equipment, no workers, how to continue to undertake the "upgrading and transformation of research and development projects" orders?

As the director of the academic committee of the NB Laboratory in Berlin and one of the founders of the "Klinsmann's Friends Association", how could Dr. Marcus watch the laboratory close and watch the association break up, and immediately took over: "Mr. President, don't forget that according to the 'restitution act', the workers still hold 30% of the shares. If you really need it, I can mobilize them all. ”

Dr. Markus was not joking, and the East Germans paid little attention to the issue of ownership of the former East German state assets, which was of vital interest to all East Germans, and focused on trivial issues such as nurseries and abortion.

For them, it is better to exchange it for a real job than to hold a part of the shares that they don't know when they will be profitable, or even never to be profitable.

Thinking that talent is the precious wealth of the company, as long as there are people, even if the equity changes, it is nothing. Anyway, the brand is authorized, the sales channel is its own, and it is a big deal to rebuild a factory.

The charter finally made up his mind and resolutely said, "Since they can support themselves, let's try to entrust the factory to it." In accordance with relevant laws, a board of directors, a board of supervisors and a trade union shall be established to operate independently and be responsible for its own profits and losses. As for one or two million renovation funds, I don't have them, but I can give the factory a batch of equipment purchase orders. (To be continued......)
