"Dr. Lee, I appreciate your generosity." Alex appeared calmer.

"Theodore, Alex, as the senior technical director of Zeus Laboratory, you two not only have to engage in technical work, but also need to improve management awareness."

Li Kangping found that Theodore was actually a senior technician, and Theodore had real skills in engineering applications.

But letting Theodore manage people is afraid that it is difficult for a strong man.

Alex, the son of a wealthy Russian businessman, showed a certain potential for management ability.

Li Kangping began his training: "Theodore, Alex, this is the PDCA material I asked Jennifer to write, please study it carefully. ”

“PDCA？”

"Yes, PDCA. In general, PDCA is a kind of workflow or management method, you should continue to PDCA in your future work, continue to improve, find out problems, continue to improve, form a closed loop, and so on. I hope you can complete the PDCA study as soon as possible, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask Jennifer. ”

"Okay, Dr. Lee, I'll do that."

"In addition to PDCA, I will teach you another management technique as a supplement--- SWOT."

“SWOT？ What's that? ”

Li Kangping drew a cross shape on a small blackboard and wrote strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the four quadrants.

"Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats?" Theodore, Alex thoughtfully.

Li Kangping explained: "Taking the TV project as an example, our advantage is that we have the patent and we have been successful in the public performance, and we have gained a certain amount of popularity in the American society. So, what are our weaknesses? ”

Theodore thought for a moment, and he said, "We can't do the development of the TV system alone? Do we have to count on RCA's support? ”

"Very well, Theodore, you understand very quickly! Please write your remarks on the blackboard in the W quadrant. Li Kangping praised loudly, and he asked again: "Alex, what about you?" ”

Alex is not too sure and says: "Whether it is the development of wired mode or wireless mode, there are still many technical difficulties? ”

Li Kangping encouraged: "Alex, you are amazing! Please write your 'technical difficulties' on the board! You see, you have keenly identified the strengths and weaknesses, and at this time, you can combine PDCA. With PDCA, we will continue to improve our weaknesses and maximize our strengths. In the same way, the next step is to identify opportunities and threats......"

“…… You get the idea, that's SWOT. We can manage any project through a combination of SWOT and PDCA. The same can be done in the management of Zeus's laboratory. Okay, that's all I want to say, you can go back and figure it out. ”

With the support of the RCA, the Zeus Labs TV system development project has entered the substantive development phase in an efficient manner.

First, based on the cable transmission model, we want to get the TV picture out of New York City and into other cities---- such as Jersey City.

AT AnT is one of the shareholders of RCA, so when it comes to wired transmission, the Zeus Labs development team has received the strongest technical support in the United States.

Using AT's already operational telephone transmission network, Zeus Lab engineers plan to conduct live televised testing between New York City and Jersey City.

In the mechanical TV system development project, Li Kangping gradually retreated into the background, he mainly grasped the general direction, the specific technical details by Theodore, Alex, these two senior technical executives led dozens of engineers shuttled through New York City, Jersey City, they are very busy, but also very fulfilling.

In the field of academic research, Compton's paper has not yet been published, but Li Kangping knows that the Compton Effect will soon be published, and once this article is published, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the academic community.

Li Kangping wrote a letter to Arthur Compton, asking how Compton's paper was doing.

Then, Li Kangping wrote to his father to ask about the family's situation.

After writing a letter to his family, Li Kangping then wrote a letter to Rao Yutai, who was very concerned about the recent situation of Brother Yutai at Nankai University.

Brother Qisun, Brother Youxun, Bendong and other brothers who are still studying in the United States, Li Kangping all wrote letters, also asking about the recent situation of the brothers.

In Li Kangping's memory, when he went to the United States, he first studied mechanical and electrical engineering, and after obtaining a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in engineering, he turned to experimental physics and obtained a doctorate in science. After graduating with a Ph.D., he worked for Westinghouse for a year as an engineer for the company. Then, Sa Bendong returned to China as a professor of physics at National Tsing Hua University, and wrote China's first university physics textbook.

Before the launch of the low-energy electron diffraction experiment, Li Kangping intended to arrange for Brother Qisun and Brother Youxun to come to Columbia University to participate in this project, but he failed to do so.

Now it is different from the past, Li Kangping has his own laboratory, and he can arrange for his brothers to come to Zeus's laboratory to seek common causes.

Zeus Laboratory can't arrange academic research brothers for the time being, but it can arrange engineering application brothers--- such as this building.

Of course, at this time, Bendong was only a fourth-year student at Stanford University, and Bendong had not even graduated from his bachelor's degree, so it was too early to conspire for a great cause. Li Kangping wrote a letter carefully, and this letter was addressed to Bendong.

“…… Best wishes. Kangping sent it from New York. ”

Li Kangping had just stopped writing when the phone rang.

"Hello, I'm K.P. Lee."

"Dr. Lee, please come to my office now."

"Mr. Lofes, it looks like you're telling me bad news?"

"Dr. Li, come over first, and we'll talk when we meet."

"Okay, I'll see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Li Kangping first threw the letter he wrote to Sabendong into the mailbox, and then went to the Ferdinand Building of Columbia University to meet with the editor-in-chief of Lofes.

"Dr. Li, you know, normally, a paper needs to be reviewed before it is published. In exceptional cases, it is quite rare for me, the editor-in-chief, to publish papers that I consider extremely important--- only a few times a year, or none. ”

The editor-in-chief of Lopis frowned and said: "I have read your "About Light Quantum" word by word, and I have read it three times in a row, and I think it is worth publishing, so I asked the editor to start the review process. You know, I usually don't ask which reviewer or reviewers the editor goes to, and the editor tells me that the paper has passed the review and is ready for publication, and then I let it be published. ”

"Jones, that's the handsome editor, you know him, and he follows up on your papers. Oh, my dear Mr. Jones, he actually sent your "About the Quantum of Light" to Mr. Michelson this time. ”

"Mr. Michelson is the President of APS and certainly the top leader of Physical Review. As we all know, Mr. Michelson stayed in Chicago for a long time, and he rarely came to APS headquarters in New York. Mr. Michelson is very busy, and he basically does not interfere in the day-to-day management of Physical Review, but he remains the chief decision-maker of Physical Review. ”

"All in all, Mr. Michelson happened to be in New York these days, and your 'About the Quantum of Light' happened to be placed on Mr. Michelson's desk by Jones."

"So, Dr. Lee, I think you should go up to the third floor, Mr. Michelson wants to see you."

Speaking of this, the expression of the editor-in-chief of Lofes was extremely heavy.

Li Kangping was already mentally prepared, he asked: "Just right, this is too coincidental, right?" ”

"There's no denying that there are coincidences in life." "It is well known that Mr. Michelson devoted his life to the study of the most delicate phenomena of interference, and for him the wave theory of light was an unshakable faith. ”

"So, the quantum theory of light is a terrible thing for Mr. Michelson." The editor-in-chief of Lopis sighed softly, and he said, "Anyway, Dr. Lee, I want you to go up and meet Mr. Michelson now, and you'll do it, won't you?" ”
