Chapter Ninety-Four: The Test Field of NB Electric
Flowers, applause, hugs......
Zuo Heng and Assad were heroically welcomed by people from all walks of life in Hong Kong and journalists at Kai Tak Airport. The reunion with his wife and children brought tears to the eyes of many Hong Kong people who knew nothing about them 20 days ago.
Thanks to the company, to their colleagues, to the Hong Kong Red Cross, to the International Red Cross, to the Red Crescent, to all those who cared for and helped them, the two thanked almost everything they could at the short press conference, except for the Vietnamese government that really rescued them.
It's a deal, and there's no need to thank you.
The Vietnamese side does not want to be in the limelight, and NB Electric does not want to leave infinite reverie for the outside world.
Due to the huge difference in ideology and values, since last year, Hong Kong's mainstream public opinion on the mainland has been as negative as that of most developed Western countries, and in particular, it is extremely dissatisfied with China's abstention on the issue of Iraq's blatant invasion of Kuwait, so that it has not paid so much attention to the BJ Asian Games that are being held.
The headlines of the night were still tense Gulf tensions, the second was the safe return of NB electrical staff Zuo Heng and Assad, and finally it was the turn of Hong Kong athletes to perform at the Asian Games.
Several TV stations rushed to have an exclusive interview with NB Electric, and even wanted to make a documentary about the entire rescue process, so as to reflect the noble humanistic care and high sense of responsibility of the Hong Kong company.
Down-to-earth and hard-working, and not an entertainment star, these things are coordinated and handled by the Planning Department and the Ministry of Commerce, so there is no need to worry about the charter, let alone show up.
So in the afternoon at Kai Tak Airport, he didn't even attend the press conference, so he quietly got into the commercial vehicle under Liu Siwei's prior arrangement, crossed the customs from the Luohu port, and came back to reunite with his relatives after nearly two years of absence.
To make a fortune, buy big hair, make a hair!
The second uncle, Wu Xiucheng, is now a big boss, has a furniture store, and has a decoration team of nearly 100 people. As soon as I got my driver's license last year, I bought a "Jinmen Dafa" van.
The business has become bigger, so naturally I can't go to BJ to watch the Asian Games like Wu Xiufeng and Zhang Shuren. As soon as he saw Ding Wenming's message on the Chinese BP machine, he immediately threw down his work and rushed to the beach house.
The old lady smiled from ear to ear, the eldest sister Wu Xiulan was looking and touching, the family was happy, Wu Xiucheng couldn't help but quip: "Eldest sister, I remember that San'er is twenty this year, right?" Xiaozhu and Xiaojun are talking about each other, and he must pay attention to his life's major events. ”
Mothers don't seem to want their sons to grow up, Wu Xiulan smiled: "What twenty, on the evening of his birthday, it is a virtual year." ”
"Twenty years old is not young, I got married when I was so old."
The charter didn't want to be given by them in such a mess as a lifelong event, so he hurriedly said: "Second uncle, Xiaolian is still one year older than me, and my second sister has no object to talk to, so this matter is not in a hurry." ”
With a net worth of millions, the object of her daughter is really hard to find, she can't look down on those who don't have the ability, and those who have the ability don't want to plug in the door, Wu Xiucheng sighed secretly, and shifted the topic to Ding Wenming and Chen Baolin.
This time it was out of control, he pulled Ding Wenming and the others, Ding Wenming and the others pulled Zhang Bing, and then Wu Xiaozhu and Wu Xiaojun, all the way to the cousins and sisters of the eldest aunt and the second aunt...... I'm busy talking about marriage.
The old lady likes to listen to these Zhang family Li Jiaxiao, and her mother also likes it, and the juniors such as Ding Wenming and Li Xiaoshan and his wife can only chat with them hard. Fortunately, the old lady was not energetic, and she was used to going to bed early and getting up early, and after a while, she yawned, and everyone was finally liberated.
After going for nearly two years, of course, I had to go to the company to see, and after taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, I went to the "NB Industrial Park" under the support of Li Xiaoshan, Hu Meiqi, Ding Wenming, Zhang Bing, Chen Baolin, Wu Xiaozhu, Wu Xiaojun and Wu Xiaolian.
“…… The two Chinese managers sent by the district get along very well and know what should be managed and what should not be managed. Considering that the wages given to them by the district are too low, and that a long time will inevitably affect internal unity, I have made up a copy according to our salary standard, which is basically a bowl of water. The account is taken from the parent company, and it has nothing to do with NB Electric and NB Electric, and it will not attract any criticism of 'using power for personal gain'. In addition to being in charge of the trade union, they also took the initiative to assist and even help the company with some troublesome procedures, and also did a lot of work in the vocational training of employees. ”
As he walked towards the test workshop, he reminded: "You should get equal pay for equal work, otherwise you can't do the work at all." At the same time, we must also take into account the nature of the company, and we can't really treat people as our subordinates just because we pay salaries. They represent the joint venture party and should be given full respect. ”
Li Xiaoshan and Hu Meiqi realized that NB Electric is only the controlling party of NB Electric and NB Electric, not the parent company in the real sense.
"We are really negligent in this regard," Li Xiaoshan glanced at his wife and said thoughtfully: "You are right, they should be given full respect, from the office to the seat of the meeting." ”
"It can't be overkill, after all, there is an appointment in advance, they are only responsible for the union and do not interfere in the company's operations."
Hu Meiqi took a deep breath and sighed with emotion: "It is said that the partnership business is not easy to do, and it seems that it is not false at all." ”
"Yes, there is a joint venture with the Vietnamese government in the future, and how to deal with the Vietnamese is also a problem, so the planning department has set up a new team to study Vietnam's politics, economy and customs, and try to avoid bumps and bumps as much as possible."
The Berlin R&D center is about to be unveiled, and it has to invest in Vietnam, Chen Baolin can't help it anymore: "Charter, doesn't NB Electrician have investment in Vietnam?" ”
"One yard to one yard, the next thing to invest in is the transformer project."
"The transformer can also be on the same side, but I really can't make room for you and move our electronics division out."
"I know what's going on in people's minds."
The charter turned around and said with a serious face: "The transformer project can be launched now, who will sell the transformer to after the key is launched?" Say hello to the municipal party committee and municipal government, how many 10 thousand volt distribution transformers may be sold, but what about the main transformers above 110 thousand volts? It is related to the safety of the power grid, involving industrial electricity and thousands of lighting electricity, and there is no more than ten or twenty normal operation performance, even if it is given away in vain, it will not dare to be used. What's more, a master becomes less than a million, and more than tens of millions, even if you want to send it, I can't afford to send it! ”
Millions of equipment, thinking about it, Ding Wenming pondered for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "If you don't dare to use it in China, Vietnam will dare to use it?" ”
"Vietnam has fought with the Americans for so many years, and has fought with us for so many years, the industry is blank, and now it is a rush to go to the doctor, as long as someone invests, as long as it can earn foreign exchange for them, then they dare to use it, anyway, their power grid is not very good, and even normal lighting electricity cannot be guaranteed."
"The Berlin R&D center has more than a dozen power scientists and nearly 100 electrical engineers, many of whom have participated in the design, manufacture and construction of the 900-kilometer ultra-high voltage line of the Ekibastuz-Kokchitav-Kustannay section in Kazakhstan. ”
Of course, it's okay to experiment with others, the key is technology, Wu Xiaozhu said worriedly: "What if our technology is learned by Vietnam?" ”
"There are many kinds of technologies, materials, production, processes, design...... All of them are technology, transformers are inconspicuous, but it involves a lot of technology, there are silicon steel sheets, high-voltage insulation and cooling oil on the materials, Vietnam does not have these, all need to be imported. There is nothing technical in the production and process, just winding and assembly. The key lies in the design, and the transformer above 110 thousand volts is basically different for each unit, according to the transformer capacity and substation environment for targeted design, rectifier and electric furnace change needless to say, no theoretical basis, no design experience, even if they are given a complete set of drawings in vain. ”
"There's nothing to worry about."
Wu Xiaozhu thought about it, and then said bluntly: "Charter, we know how many Simaks you have on hand. There are so many people in the German R&D center, and you have to continue to invest in R&D funds, do you have the money to invest in Vietnam? ”
It turned out that he was worried about this, and he couldn't help but smile and asked: "Mr. Li, Mr. Hu, and Wenming, do you know what I am most proud of in the past two years?" ”
"NB Electrician listed?"
"Waste-to-energy plants?
"It's not an NB electrician, it's not a waste incineration plant, it's an NB lab! This year, the Basic Research Laboratory has published 32 high-quality papers in top international academic journals, and more than 300 professional journals and magazines. Although it cannot be applied to production, it has greatly improved the international reputation of the laboratory. The Hong Kong government's funding has doubled from last year, and it has also received funding from a number of companies, social groups and individuals.
This year's research funding is only one-fifth of the company's funding. The reward is not only international visibility, but also tangible research and development results. Because the vast majority of researchers in the system engineering laboratory and the technology application laboratory are the proud disciples of those experts and professors in the basic research laboratory, they belong to internships, do not get salaries, only need a little subsidy and research and development funds, and ask their mentors if they don't understand, so they help us get the smart building project out. ”
Chartering plucked a leaf, spun it around in his hand like a child, and continued with a fluttering eyebrow: "This pattern is good, so I copied it to Germany. Even before the accident of the overseas colleagues, the Berlin R&D Center of NB Labs had already submitted a grant application to the Federal Ministry of Research and the Berlin State Government, and if nothing else, they would each bear a third of the R&D costs of the R&D center, which means that we only need to contribute the other third, or even less! ”
"How is that possible?"
"yes, the Germans can't be so stupid, right?"
Looking at their incredulous looks, the charter smiled proudly: "I spun off the Berlin R&D Center of NB Labs from NB Electric (Germany) GmbH and registered it as a non-profit scientific research institution. Develop new technologies, new products and new processes for enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, and assist enterprises in solving organizational and management problems in their own innovation and development, in line with all laws and regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany. ”
Chen Baolin was ridiculed and asked: "Does Germany have this rule?" ”
"Of course there is, there is no such rule, how can I care if they ask for money."
She smiled at her future sister-in-law and patiently explained: "You should have heard that the West German Ministry of Education is carrying out a purge of the former East German Academy of Sciences and university institutes, disbanding and dismissing the institutes and researchers who are not on the blue list, and our Berlin R&D center is made up of these people. However, according to the liquidation plan of the German law and the Trusteeship Office, they also have the right to demand the return of the assets that belong to them from the government, which also means that their previous research results can be converted into individual patents, so we have filed nearly 1,000 patent applications in just two months.
As you can imagine, these applications caused an uproar at the Federal Ministry of Research, the Patent Office and the Max Planck Association for the Promotion of Science, which resembles the National Academy of Sciences. Because once these applications are approved, the NB Labs Berlin R&D Center will inherit a huge intangible asset from the former East German government, and if they don't approve it, they will have to change the law, so they have to sit down and talk to us. ”
Li Xiaoshan couldn't help but smile and asked, "What about the result of the negotiation?" ”
"This is a serious legal issue, but also a very sad emotional issue, our R&D personnel are all real scientists, and they held leadership positions and joined the United Socialist Party for historical reasons, and they were fired indiscriminately.
More importantly, the appearance of the West German scientific community was too ugly, and almost all the important positions in universities and institutes were occupied by them, which can be said to have aroused the public anger of the East German scientific community. On this issue, almost all of the East German parties that wanted to fight for the interests of the East Germans as much as possible were on our side, including the ruling party 'German Union'. ”
