Chapter 269: A Road Goes to the Dark
The SAR is rainy, especially in the hot summer. But the rain in the SAR came and went quickly, and after a storm, the weather became exceptionally cool.
With the completion of 36 steel structure workshops in the second phase of the new factory area, the relocation of the factories of two Hong Kong-listed companies in Lo Hu, NB Electrician and NB Electric, has been completed.
In the former NB Industrial Park, there is only one NB electrical appliance left. However, it is only temporary, as soon as the third phase of the security plant is completed, the company, which has the largest number of employees and product variety, will also move out of the park that witnessed its birth, growth and even growth.
On the main road after the rain, a new Toyota commercial vehicle drove slowly.
Looking at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar scenery outside the window, the charter was full of emotion, grabbed the armrest of the seat and sighed: "Eagle, it is said that ten years of trees, a hundred years of people." I don't know if the tree people want to be a hundred years, but the trees definitely don't take ten years, you see these trees, they are taller than the factory, this is only a few years old? ”
"Lao Yin, not an eagle!"
It's rare that he still remembers that everyone got this nickname when they were in the collective dormitory of the old factory, and Yin Pengjun, the director of the experimental center, corrected it like six years ago, patted his thigh and smiled: "Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, it's just a metaphor." It's good that you're more realistic, not poetic at all, have you stayed abroad for a long time, and even lost the traditional culture of our ancestors? ”
In terms of the charter, not only the beach house is home, but also the experimental center outside the car window, especially when he gets along with Yin Pengjun, the former colleagues of the first phase of the electrical division, his mood is particularly relaxed, they are not only colleagues and friends. It's still the big brother. It's a loved one.
In the collective dormitory of the old factory, bickering is commonplace. As always, he quibbled: "I like new style poetry now. ”
"Haizi is dead, and Xinti poetry is also dead, let's talk about something else."
Yin Pengjun helped his glasses, pointed to the former NB electrician office building outside the window and said: "This is now Lao Zhang's territory, specializing in power supply, he himself is responsible for DC power supply, Dr. Gu who was invited back from the United States is responsible for communication power supply, and Lao Xiang is responsible for EPS power supply." Lao Gu is in charge of the UPS power supply, Dr. James from the Berlin laboratory is in charge of the regulated power supply, and Dr. Han, who has returned from the UK, is in charge of the battery power.
There are too many projects, and the complete set of NB electrical alone has placed more than 20 commissioned R&D orders, and the manpower is far from enough, and some relatively easy projects can only cooperate with several domestic research institutes, such as substation control panel, substation synchronous control panel, 35kv line and main transformer protection control panel, generator protection control panel, substation measurement and control screen and hydropower station measurement and control screen, etc. ”
These are the most basic and core projects of NB Electric, don't look at the current NB electronics and NB medical are booming, but for NB Electric, power generation and transmission and distribution is the foundation of its existence.
The charter nodded slightly, and asked with interest, "Then what are they responsible for?" ”
Yin Pengjun deserves to be the director of the experimental center. When it comes to the projects being developed, there are several treasures: "special uninterruptible power supply for electric power, intelligent microcomputer control DC screen, AC and DC integrated power supply system for intelligent stations, special emergency power supply system for civil air defense, fire emergency power supply system, intelligent DC power supply system, 240V high-voltage DC power supply system for communication, touch DC screen and AC inverter screen."
In addition, it is necessary to help NB Electric complete sets of finalized safety compensation cabinets, active power filter cabinets, intermediate frequency furnace filter compensation cabinets, low-voltage passive filter cabinets, low-voltage static reactive power generation cabinets, dynamic filter compensation cabinets and rolling mill filter compensation energy-saving cabinets......
The hardest ones are Wu Bin and Lao Zhan, who want to modularize some of the existing industrial appliances of NB Electric. This is equivalent to the development of a new set of standards, I believe that in the near future, charging module, rectifier module, monitoring module, communication module, lightning protection module, power module, power module, power module will become a new profit growth point for NB electrical appliances. ”
Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans.
Most of the people who were sent out a few years ago are now back, and they can all be on their own. Compared with the first batch of R&D directors such as Sun Xiaoguang, Huang Li'an, and Wei Huaming, who have worked hard, their level is higher, their vision is broader, and the topics they need to study are more difficult.
Thinking that at that time, due to insufficient funds and lack of confidence, only dozens of elites could be sent successively, and at the same time, most of them were concentrated in the fields of electrical engineering and automation, and the charter felt very regretful. If we had been able to be ruthless at that time, send more people, and cover a wider range of areas, the situation of the Faculty of Technology and Application and the Experimental Center would definitely be better than it is now.
Old friends are all working, and they all know that he is back, and even make an appointment to get together in the evening.
There is no need to greet each other from office to office as in the group headquarters, accompanied by Yin Pengjun, go directly to the old experimental workshop to visit the medical CT R&D team that has made great contributions to NB Medical.
“…… I think this U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom is the most appropriate to hang in the lobby of the laboratory building, because it belongs to everyone. In addition, this honor is very special, as for what is special, everyone understands it in their hearts. ”
Chief Engineer Jiang Mingqing has never been so happy as he is today, took the medal and glanced at it, and said meaningfully: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Yankees have finally admitted their mistakes, which shows that the previous secrecy measures were very necessary. If we publish any papers and hold expert review meetings at every turn, can we be as proud as we are now?
In front of Zhang Gong, I would like to emphasize once again that the application of technology is not basic research, and you can't poke it out with a little eyebrows. I can't control other teams, but in my medical imaging diagnostic technology R&D team, if anyone does something that harms the interests of the team, don't blame me for being unkind. ”
Confidentiality is the first lesson that must be taken before entering the Faculty of Technology Application and the Experimental Center, and a confidentiality agreement must be signed in front of the members of the Division, the director of the Experimental Center, the "boss" who recruited them, and the laboratory lawyer.
Once the confidentiality agreement is violated, not only will you be dismissed or dismissed, but you will also be held legally responsible.
Last month, two graduate students who came in as experimenters were persuaded to quit because they published a paper on electrical automation control in a domestic academic journal without permission, leaking the progress of the laboratory in smart grid research.
This is a matter of principle, and members of the medical imaging technology team know better than anyone the importance of confidentiality.
The chief engineer's voice just fell. A graduate student, also from Andong Institute of Technology, raised his hand and said, "Zhang Gong, Teacher Jiang." Confidentiality is fundamental. If you don't even have this bit of professional ethics, then what kind of research is there to do? Rest assured, we are an old team and will not have such problems. ”
They are indeed an old team, but the name has changed from the previous medical CT team to the current medical imaging diagnostic technology team. The research object is no longer only medical CT, but also expands to medical imaging diagnosis equipment such as magnetic resonance machines and digital color ultrasound.
The charter nodded with satisfaction, and said step by step: "As this colleague said, confidentiality is the most basic professional ethics. We are all adults, and we are all elites in the field of medical imaging diagnostic technology research, and I don't want to say more about this issue. What I want to say is that the industrialization of 'Deep-100' and 'Deep-Eye-200' has officially started the battle of medical imaging diagnosis technology, especially medical CT technology!
It is clear to everyone that our advantage in scanning and imaging technology is only temporary, and that competitors will soon be able to catch up, even surpass. Eight-slice, 16-slice, 32-slice, 64-slice, 128-slice...... It may sound unattainable, but with the rapid development of science and technology, I believe that it will be possible within 15 years.
The competition is brutal. Whoever lags behind will be eliminated, and NB Medical invests 60% of its profits in R&D. It's about the future. So happy to be happy, but not without a sense of crisis, to know that the opponent is stronger than we imagined, they have more manpower, financial resources and R&D resources than us. ”
The day before the medical CT machine was officially launched on the market, Chief Engineer Jiang Mingqing realized that this was just the beginning, he looked around at dozens of old colleagues and nearly 100 new colleagues who had just entered the team this year, and said thoughtfully: "Everyone, Zhang Gong is not alarmist, NB Medical has invested so much R&D funds, I will be responsible for NB Medical, and I must not lie on the credit book and eat the old book, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"Okay, the topic is a bit heavy, let's talk about something lighter."
The charter didn't want to put too much pressure on everyone, so he quickly changed the conversation: "I am also engaged in research, and I know better than anyone the importance of combining work and rest." Every time you walk into a dead end, go out for a walk, and a new idea or idea will pop up. It's the same for everyone, you can't always stay in the experimental center behind closed doors.
As the head of the Department of Applied Technology, it is necessary for me to create a good research atmosphere for everyone. In the future, we will organize a variety of academic exchange activities, and everyone will go out to communicate with international and domestic peers, and communicate with medical experts in the field of medical imaging diagnosis. In addition, I intend to institutionalize travel and vacations. Because we have NB Airlines, we have Pan European International Travel Agency, we have this condition. ”
At NB Labs, R&D personnel are treated with unprecedented respect.
This is not just about salaries, but about all aspects of work and life. Knowing that even travel and vacations should be institutionalized, everyone cheered in unison,
It was lunch time after leaving the old experimental workshop, and accompanied by Yin Pengjun, he walked to the former living area of NB electrician.
The employees are gone, and four five-story dormitory buildings are being converted into two-bedroom apartments. A row of warehouses in front of the apartment building has become a favorite food area for R&D personnel.
"San'er, charter, here, call you!"
A familiar voice came out of the back, and when I looked back, I saw Chen Baolin, the wife of Ding Wenming, the executive vice president of the group, actually wearing an apron and being a waiter.
Chartered was surprised, glanced at the dessert stall where she worked, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" ”
Chen Baolin beckoned them to sit down, and corrected: "Call sister!" ”
"Is there a difference?"
"Absolutely!" Chen Baolin pointed to the little guy sleeping soundly in the car, and said with a smile: "Call me sister, you are the uncle of the soldiers." If you call your sister-in-law, you won't be an uncle of soldiers. ”
"Civilization is my brother, you are my sister, I am both an uncle and an uncle, as for the division so clearly?"
The charter brought a cage of shrimp dumplings, and while signaling Yin Pengjun not to be polite, he asked suspiciously: "Sister Paulin, you said that you are true, how to give the child this name, Bingbing, don't you feel vulgar?" ”
Chen Baolin sighed lightly. took off the apron and smiled bitterly: "It's not that you don't know." Both old men were soldiers. I have feelings for the troops, and I have nothing to say on this issue, what else can I do? ”
Looking up, Hong Kong-style food stalls, tea restaurants, herbal tea shops, porridge and noodle shops, open-air tea houses, and Western-style bars, but the scale is a little smaller, and the charter feels very funny, and I can't help but ask: "Sister Pauline." This stall is yours, how is the business? ”
"It's not as good as Mrs. Zuo, it's better than Mrs. Xie."
"Zhang Gong, I'll go first, I'll see you in Area C later."
I don't know if Yin Pengjun is really in trouble, or if he doesn't want to deal with them, the wives of group executives, so he hurriedly slipped away after eating a shrimp dumpling.
The charter was puzzled, took the milk tea brought by Chen Baolin, and asked curiously: "Sister Baolin, there are so many people in total." And the canteen, do you make money opening a shop here? ”
Mrs. Kuo in the end. Chen Baolin smiled casually: "Just keep the capital, it doesn't matter if you lose points, it doesn't matter if you make money or not." ”
"If it's not to make money, then what store do you open?"
"For the sake of the child's future," Chen Baolin leaned into his ear and snickered proudly: "Here is either a doctor or a master, and the worst is also a bachelor's degree, and you can still meet so many foreigners and hear so many languages, soldiers grow up in this environment, can they have no future prospects?" ”
Pity the parents of the world, the charter was completely convinced, and after thinking about it, he asked: "You don't go to work at NB Electronics?" ”
"No, Xiaolian is not going to go. She fell in love with the one at the front and was going to open a small western restaurant, but in order not to affect the rest of the researchers and our business, her workers could only come and work for three hours every morning. ”
"She's getting married to Changhe?"
"Didn't your mom tell you?"
"She took care of my second sister's affairs, and before I came out, she was still pestering Xia Yao at home to ask this and that."
Chen Baolin suddenly became interested, grabbed his arm and asked, "How is Linlin's matter, I heard that that person is a doctor, when does she plan to bring someone back to us to see." ”
It's really a pot that can't be opened, and the charter put down the milk tea cup and said: "You are like this, let's talk about Xiaolian and Changhe first." ”
"Changhe was admitted to the graduate school of the Provincial University of Science and Technology, and he will definitely study for a doctorate in the future after finishing his master's degree, Xiaolian is in his twenties, so naturally he can't wait for him to finish his studies before getting married.
"Provincial University of Science and Technology?"
"A joint project between the Experimental Center and HKUST, don't you know? People also work here as experimenters, and the degree is awarded by the University of Science and Technology. ”
The charter reacted, shook his head and smiled: "I've been busy for this time, and I haven't bothered to ask." ”
Considering that their family reunited after a long absence, so they didn't go to the beach villa last night, and now that they finally caught the main owner, Chen Baolin naturally wouldn't let him go, and after letting her only female employee bring up all the delicious food, she held her chin and asked mysteriously: "San'er, tell me honestly to my sister, how much money do you have now?" ”
"It's not like you haven't been involved in finance, you should know that I can't know at all."
"I'll ask you probably."
"I probably don't know, I haven't counted it, and many assets can't be counted at all."
"Anyway, very, very rich."
"Sister Pauline, it's not that you don't have money, why are you asking this?"
"Who cares about your money, sister is worried about your safety."
Chen Baolin glared at him fiercely, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Your mother called my dad, the tenth richest man in Hong Kong, and my dad also thinks that you are too ostentatious now, so I asked Uncle Wang and Uncle Gu to find a few people to be your bodyguards." Listen to my sister's advice, and don't show up less in the future, it's not a good thing to be in the limelight. ”
In the end, it was his own person, and the charter felt warm in his heart: "Sister, I made you worried, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about this," Chen Baolin diverted the topic and asked with a smile: "To be honest with my sister, what is civilization doing now?" I don't go home all day, and when I come back and talk about him, I can't be doing those things that I'm sorry for our mother and son outside, right? ”
"How dare he, Sister Pauling, don't worry, he's doing business."
"Really?"
"What am I lying to you," the charter paused, and then said: "At most a month and a half, when he is done with this period of time, he will have enough time to spend with you and your son, and then he can go wherever he wants, Leipzig has a good environment, you can consider staying for a few days." ”
"Sister believes you," Chen Baolin smiled. Then he asked, "What about Linlin?" When do they plan to get married? ”
The charter doesn't have time to talk to her about these parents. He pulled out a tissue and stood up and said, "I won't be able to tell you clearly for a while." I want to know to go back and ask Xia Yao, by the way, your dim sum tastes good, prepare two cages for me when I get off work, so that my mother will have to go out to buy it early tomorrow morning. ”
"Forget it for nothing, and be ready to take it for nothing, is it easy to have a small business, give money!"
"Bookkeeping. When the time comes, we will count together. ”
"Xiaocui, bookkeeping, counting the packing in the afternoon, a total of 37 yuan and 5 cents."
Her family's business is obviously not less on credit, and the only pastry chef who is also a waiter poked his head out and asked stupidly: "Sister Chen, 37 yuan 5, whose name is remembered, which unit?" ”
Chen Baolin snorted and said, "Forget it, I'll go to his house to ask for it at night." Save him from paying you a debt when the time comes. ”
For these broad wives, opening a small shop is just a leisure way to pass the time. If you have time to come and take a look, if you don't have time, throw them away, as Chen Baolin said before, just keep the capital, and it doesn't matter if you lose points. So those proprietors who are in Hong Kong didn't come today because of the weather, otherwise they would have been entangled in the charter and don't want to leave like this.
I had a serious lunch in the big canteen, chatted with several veterans of NB Electric for a while, and rushed to the former factory of NB Electric on time.
On the floor plan of the experimental center, it is named Area C.
Without the permission of Yin Pengjun, director of the experimental center, or Xiong Yongwang, director of Area C, no researchers from non-Area C are allowed to enter, let alone anyone outside the laboratory.
As soon as he passed through the two security checks, Xiong Yongwang introduced in a low voice: "Zhang Gong, C-1, C-2 workshop and D-1 warehouse were handed over to Dr. Frederick, and half of the living area was allocated to them, and we really can't help anything else." ”
In order to make sure that nothing went wrong, Dr. Frederick, head of the power project team at the NB Laboratory in Berlin, decided to move the gas turbine research center in Hong Kong's Taipu Industrial Estate to a relatively safe SAR experimental center.
The charter glanced at the previous high-voltage cabinet workshop, and said lightly: "The doctor has a doctor's plan, and if he really needs help, he will naturally speak." ”
"Also, interlacing is like a mountain, and you can't help if you want to."
Xiong Yongwang nodded slightly, pointed to the office building in front of him and said: "This side belongs to silicon purification, I am personally responsible, BJ is very supportive, once Mr. Li proposed, the Ministry of Chemical Industry, Hujiang Electronics Institute, 605 Factory and more than a dozen units to undertake the 863 project, in accordance with the requirements of BJ sent more than 160 experts, and even brought 24 pairs of rod polysilicon reduction furnace device technology. ”
There is a law in China's industrial circles, when there is no technology in China, foreign countries will ignore you, ask for technology and do not give technology, and cooperate or not cooperate, only when you have initially mastered this technology, after you have an industry, foreign enterprises will enter China in a big way.
Polysilicon is a prime example!
In the early days of reform and opening up, when Chinese experts went to companies in the United States, Europe and Japan to talk about introduction, they ignored them and did not receive them. Later, some technology was introduced from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe to produce polysilicon, and better foreign technology began to set up factories in China to sell cheaper and better quality products.
If you can't compete with others, the company will naturally not survive. But in the process, I also learned and accumulated a lot of skills.
The old man and the head of the central government were deeply touched, so they provided a series of help to the NB laboratory with the attitude of being a dead horse and a live horse doctor. It can be said that the current NB laboratory silicon purification team is also "gathering the strength of the whole country", and almost all the top experts in this field in China have come.
The charter took a deep breath and said half-jokingly: "Old bear, eagle, you are both beasts, whether you can purify the silicon and gnaw it down is up to the two of you, and your job is not to do research, but to coordinate." Russian experts, East German experts and Chinese experts being recruited by the Ministry of Technology will join one after another, and how to form a joint force is what you should consider. ”
This is a huge system project, with hundreds of millions of dollars invested, Xiong Yongwang couldn't help but ask: "You don't plan to take over?" ”
"You just said that interlacing is like a mountain, and I can't help anything other than ensuring research funding, and besides, I also have my own project."
Xiong Yongwang asked suspiciously: "Is graphite really tricky?" ”
"Who knows, if you don't do it, anyway, I'm going to go all the way to the dark." (To be continued......)
