This is the second time I have heard Director Yuan say such a thing, Fang Hanmin wanted to ask in person, but he is a calm and low-key person after all, since the leader is unwilling to say it clearly, there is naturally a reason, although there is no taboo between him and Director Yuan, he feels that this kind of thing should not be investigated.

Director Yuan submitted the report on the adjustment of the technical department to the factory meeting for discussion in a timely manner, because the purpose was very clear, and there was no interest in the members of the factory-level leadership team, and the jurisdiction of the technical department was greatly weakened, and this proposal was unanimously approved by the team members.

At the same time, according to the proposal of Director Yuan, it was decided to appoint Fang Hanmin as the director of the technology center, Guo Peng as the executive deputy director of the technology center (the administrative level is at the department level), presiding over the daily work, and Wan Cheng took over as the technical section chief.

Fang Hanmin's position is a parallel transfer, and the team members have no objections, but there are big differences about the appointment of the other two young people.

Wang Deputy Factory Director and Chief Engineer Lao Xia, who are in charge of production, believe that after Fang Hanmin was transferred out of the Technical Section, the two existing deputy section chiefs of the Technical Section can completely take over his post, and there is no need to promote a new section chief at all.

In fact, Director Yuan also accepted Fang Hanmin's suggestion, and decided to promote the young man to take over as the technical section chief. When talking about this topic two days ago, Fang Hanmin did not hesitate to recommend his two assistants, because the existing two deputy chiefs of the technical department are unable to adapt to the new process of a workshop, and in the case of helplessness, they retreated from the leadership position of a workshop to the technical department to support the elderly, the two are not only older, lack of energy, but also do not know anything about the existing new technology and new technology in the whole factory, how can such a person be the technical chief?

On the other hand, the two young people recommended by Fang Hanmin not only have an age advantage, but also they have participated in almost all the process transformation projects of the whole factory so far, but Guo Peng's basic knowledge is more solid and he is more interested in exploring the unknown world, Wan Cheng is a little impetuous, but he is good at management, according to the characteristics of the two of them, Fang Hanmin suggested that they should be appointed separately.

Obviously, when Wang and Mr. Xia considered the new chief of the technical department, the first thing that came to mind was seniority, if the head of other departments was promoted, seniority may be the first factor, but as a very professional production technology centralized department of the whole plant, if the person in charge of the business does not know anything about the business, it will inevitably not play a management role.

How did the two existing deputy chiefs of the technical section be demoted from the leadership position of the first workshop to the technical section? Lao Wang and Lao Xia know it. In particular, the deputy section chief Lao Han, when he was the director of a workshop, he had a lot of relationship with the deputy director Wang, seeing that the iron buddies were living in the position of the deputy chief of the technical department, Lao Wang has always wanted to change the status quo for him, this time he finally waited for Fang Hanmin to leave the technical department, and he tried his best to let Lao Han fill the vacancy.

Of course, Director Yuan heard the clue, and he smiled disappreciatively, "The technical department is different from other departments, it is too professional, and the qualifications of the two existing deputy section chiefs are of course no problem, but how much do they know about the current process technology of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory?" In this matter, I hope that everyone will be based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, putting aside personal factors, focusing on the overall situation of work, and supporting more suitable candidates. ”

A few silent taps made Lao Wang and Mr. Xia speechless. Lao Han is a college graduate in the late sixties, he should have a certain theoretical foundation and practical experience, but in the past ten years, he neglected to learn and improve, lacked enterprising spirit, relied on the old book in his work, and was not interested in the ever-changing new knowledge and new technology, although he personally participated in the process transformation of a workshop, but he did not know the essence of the new process. How can such a person be qualified for the position of technical section chief?

In the era of the big bang of knowledge, unless we keep up with the pace of the times and constantly improve ourselves, once we stand still, or even become complacent, we will be eliminated by the times in an instant. If the older generation of scientific and technological personnel do not want to forge ahead, it will be difficult for them to adapt to the pace of scientific and technological development in the new era, and they will inevitably lag behind the times.

After the meeting, the relevant personnel appointment and dismissal notice was soon issued to the grassroots units of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, for the institutional adjustment between the technical center and the technical department, the general people can understand, but the personnel arrangements made in the factory, but let the bystanders have a variety of interpretations, even in the factory-level leadership team, in addition to Director Yuan, other members are also a little foggy, especially Deputy Director Wang and Chief Engineer Lao Xia, the other party Hanmin's position change even feel gloating.

"Fang Hanmin has made so many contributions to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, and after becoming the head of the technical section, he has promoted the technological transformation of the whole factory. Did the factory leader think that his mission had been accomplished? This is to unload the mill and kill the donkey! ”

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Fang Hanmin, this kid is too good, and he doesn't know how to protect himself, his blockbuster made all the scientific and technological personnel of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory lose their faces, who knows how many people hate him behind his back! I wish something had happened to him. ”

"Don't guess, Fang Hanmin is low-key and devoted to his work, he is not the kind of person who is obsessed with power, and he has the support of Director Yuan, what can happen to him?"

"A lie is repeated a thousand times and it becomes the truth. No matter how hard Lao Yuan supports Fang Hanmin, he can't stand those villains' dry tongues behind his back, if someone often complains to Lao Yuan and frames Fang Hanmin, can he still believe Fang Hanmin as always? I don't think so. ”

"Fang Hanmin has made so many contributions to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, it stands to reason that he should be promoted step by step, but he didn't expect to be the chief of the technical section for a few years, not only did he not get further promoted, but he went to a technical center with no job and no power, just work, the factory leaders made such a decision, which is chilling!"

"I don't think things are as pessimistic as you think, according to Fang Hanmin's personality and scientific research expertise, going to work in the technology center can maximize his potential, maybe it is his own request."

In view of Fang Hanmin's position adjustment, people are discussing in private, and even Jiao Tiehui, a good buddy who knows Fang Hanmin best, also said: "Hanmin is not only a lot higher than the average scientific and technological personnel, but also a doer, so he is not willing to sit in the office all day and work in the technology center, which must be his own choice." ”

......

On the day he received the notice of appointment and dismissal, he completed the handover of work with Wan Cheng, who took over as the head of the technical section, and immediately reported to the technical center.

In fact, the technology center is a relatively large organization, and Jiao Tiehui is responsible for the catalyst section alone, which currently has hundreds of employees, and with the increase of tasks, the scale may be expanded in the future. In addition, nearly 20 college graduates from various schools have already been in place, and these young scientists and technicians have already participated in the recycling and treatment of waste palladium carbon catalysts, and combined with the basic knowledge learned in school, they have a new understanding of the technical development of the plant.

In order to strengthen the connection between the various parts of the technology center, Fang Hanmin proposed to promote Jiao Tiehui to the deputy director of the technology center, in charge of the catalyst preparation section and future scale-up tests, which was supported by the plant leaders.

The current technology center is a brand-new organization, Fang Hanmin is the director of the technology center, Guo Peng and Jiao Tiehui are the deputy directors, but Guo Peng is responsible for the daily management of the technology center, and enjoys the treatment of the department.

After the establishment is perfect, the next work is to let the trial of generic patented drugs be carried out as soon as possible, to this end, Fang Hanmin analyzed several drugs whose patent protection is about to expire, selected three drugs with good prospects, and prepared to develop them.

Through a careful analysis of the preparation process and market prospects of the three patented drugs, it is found that a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular drug has the best market prospects, once the imitation is successful, the drug will have billions of clinical needs, but the imitation of this drug also faces one of the biggest difficulties, that is, among the more than a dozen raw materials for the synthesis of this drug, two raw materials can not be bought in the domestic market.

The market prospect of the second drug is also good, the raw materials are basically guaranteed, but the process flow is too long, and the two- or three-step synthesis process has considerable technical difficulty.

The third drug, the synthesis process is not too technically difficult, and the raw materials are easy to procure, but the market prospect is average, even if the imitation is successful, there are some uncertainties in the future clinical demand.

Through comparison, Fang Hanmin preferred to imitate cardiovascular and cerebrovascular drugs first, and at the technical analysis meeting, he expounded his views to the participating technicians.

"The problem is that we can't buy ready-made raw materials, so how can we carry out experiments?" Guo Peng seems to have a different opinion.

"Yes, the problem of raw materials is the biggest difficulty in front of us, but the market prospects of this drug are really good! If the first development is successful, it will enable the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory to take the lead in the country. As for the issue of raw materials, since we plan to imitate patented drugs, why can't we overcome the difficulties of raw materials? Fang Hanmin looked confident.

"Director, what do you mean, let's start with the raw materials?"

"Yes, start with the raw materials, what's not to do?"

"Of course, there is no problem with starting with the raw materials, but it may take a long time!"

"Generic patented drugs are a race against time, whoever takes the lead in the development of success, who will take the lead in the market, if you are passive in time, even if the development is successful, you will make greater efforts to gain market recognition in the future."

Fang Hanmin divided the scientific and technological personnel of the technology center into two research groups, he and Guo Peng respectively served as the leader of the research group, he decided to first develop two kinds of raw materials that could not be purchased in the domestic market, and Fang Hanmin's research group chose the most difficult raw materials for development.

This is a difficult bone to gnaw on, involving at least three typical reactions in organic synthesis, in addition to reduction and condensation, in which diazo reactions are extremely demanding on temperature and media conditions.

Under the condition of minus five degrees, it is necessary to keep the temperature of the reaction system constant and the pH value of the system equally uniform, if in the 21st century experienced by the traverser, such conditions are not very harsh, and a slightly formal laboratory can meet these requirements. However, in the mid-to-late eighties, especially in factories and enterprises without any scientific research accumulation, many difficulties had to be overcome to meet these external conditions.

Knowing that such harsh experimental conditions were required, colleagues frowned, "Director, it may not be difficult to reduce the temperature to minus five degrees, but it is not easy to keep the temperature constant during the reaction process and keep the pH value of the system in a uniform state!" ”

Fang Hanmin knows the reaction process well, and through thermodynamic estimation, he knows that the thermal effect of the reaction is hundreds of kilocalories per mole, which is a strong exothermic reaction, and according to past experience, Fang Hanmin knows that this reaction is difficult to control.

Do you rise to the challenge, or do you choose to run away? Colleagues were reluctant to do so, feeling that the existing conditions simply would not allow such experiments to be carried out.
