After bringing a senior brother Fan over from the mentor and making the mentor a consultant of his own research institute by the way, Xu Chuan left satisfied.

As for the acquisition of the research institute called 'Zijin Composite Materials Research Laboratory', it naturally fell to Fan Pengyue.

Xu Chuan didn't care about it, and didn't even go to the research institute to take a look.

Because the information given to him by Chen Zhengping is very detailed, from the building facilities, to the scientific researchers, to the service life and status of the various equipment in the laboratory..... And so on, all of which are well documented.

With such a piece of information, coupled with Senior Brother Fan checking for him, there is no problem with whether he goes to the scene to see it.

There were a few other things he had to deal with before he could start his research.

......

Following the familiar road, Xu Chuan came all the way to the office of the principal, Liu Gaojun.

There was a knock on the door, and a voice came from inside: "Please come in." ”

Xu Chuan pushed open the door and walked in, and greeted with a smile: "Principal." ”

In front of the desk, Liu Gaojun was processing the documents on the desk, looked up and saw Xu Chuan, and was a little surprised for a second before a smile appeared on his face.

Getting up from the office chair, Liu Gaojun walked to the office cabinet on the side with a smile, and greeted Xu Chuan while taking tea leaves from it to make tea.

"Why don't you say hello before you come back? The school didn't have time to greet it. ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "It's not an important thing, why do you do so tedious." ”

Liu Gaojun said with a smile: "Why is it not an important matter for a Fields Medal winner to come to NTU. ”

Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile and teased: "Then it's better to be like this, Mizuki invited me over to be a professor, and I went over here, and then came back every time to see you to greet you?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Gaojun said with a serious face: "That's not good, we have already said it in advance." ”

Xu Chuan smiled: "That's it, it's not an outsider, why are you making so much trouble." ”

"I like that." Liu Gaojun laughed, feeling happy for his own people in Xu Chuan's mouth.

After chatting for a few words, Liu Gaojun brought over a cup of tea and asked, "Have you finished where you live here?" ”

Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "Not yet, I'm looking for a house." ”

He didn't care about where he lived, and when he contacted Minister Mu before returning to China, he had said that no matter which city he worked in China, the state would allocate him corresponding housing.

】

If he doesn't look for a house, he can also be reimbursed if he stays in a hotel directly, and there is nothing wrong with this.

Liu Gaojun: "There are still some villas on the side of the school, for some professors to stay, some are on the Purple Mountain, and some are inside each school, can you pick them here?" See if there's a favorite? ”

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "It's okay, then let's take a look, the house here is closer to the school, and it's convenient for me to be a professor here." ”

"But I should have bought another one so I could handle some other research and stuff."

Liu Gaojun didn't care, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll ask someone to send the housing information to your mailbox, you pick it." ”

Neither of them cared about the matter of living, although in terms of the housing price in Jinling, a villa is almost tens of millions, and the location is more expensive.

But whether it is for Xu Chuan or for NTU, a villa is not a thing.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Liu Gaojun continued: "The military training will be over after a while, do you have time for the opening ceremony at that time, the school wants to invite you to give a speech on stage to encourage the new students." ”

Xu Chuan asked, "What day?" ”

Previously, he rejected Mizuki's invitation to the opening ceremony, but the relationship is close and estranged, and Nanda is his alma mater, and if he has time, he is still willing to give a speech at Nanda. If you really don't have time, then you can't help it.

"It's currently scheduled for September 25th." Liu Gaojun replied.

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said: "It should be possible, let's talk about it then, mainly to see if there are other things at that time, I talked about some scientific research projects with the above some time ago, which have been decided and are being launched, and it may be busy at that time." ”

Liu Gaojun nodded, as the president of Nanda, his level is not low, and he also knows some things, so he just invited it.

Skipping this matter, he then asked, "One more thing, how are your classes arranged?" ”

"Let's start with 'Algebraic Geometry', but I'll arrange the specific teaching time." After a deep groan, Xu Chuan spoke.

As a professor at NTU, his position is the same as that of Princeton University, where he has to teach and lead students.

But at his level, he is very free to teach or not, and it doesn't matter if he starts classes or not, especially when he has other research on him now.

......

After staying here at NTU for a few days, completing the formalities for the entry of professors and handling some daily trivial matters such as residence, Fan Pengyue's acquisition of the institute was also completed.

After spending 12 million dollars, Xu Chuan bought the 'Zijin Composite Materials Research Laboratory' that he had selected earlier.

It was his first private research institute in the country.

After the Industrial and Commercial Bureau changed the name of the institute to 'Chuanhai Materials Research Institute', Xu Chuan came to this laboratory for the first time, which is located near the Purple Mountain.

The former boss of the institute has left, and now Fan Pengyue, who is in charge of affairs.

Although he is only a postdoctoral fellow, fortunately, the scale of the institute is not large, and there are not many researchers in it, only about a dozen.

Of more than a dozen people, Fan Pengyue can still manage it, and he was often responsible for managing the entire project when he followed Chen Zhengping to do experiments when he was studying for a doctorate.

"Boss, you're here."

In the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, Fan Pengyue, who received the call, quickly ran out to greet him.

For Xu Chuan, his title has also changed, he could be called junior brother or junior brother Sichuan in the school before, but the status of the two people has changed, and Fan Pengyue still understands this.

"How's the research institute organized, Senior Brother Fan. When can I start doing materials research? Xu Chuan didn't care about Fan Pengyue's title, and followed him into the building.

Fan Pengyue: "The relevant information and data have been sorted out almost, and according to your previous requirements, there has been no adjustment in terms of personnel for the time being." ”

However, after hearing that the institute had changed its boss, three people left voluntarily. The three people who left were two sales and one quality manager, and these two pieces needed to be refounded. ”

"In addition, there are a total of 23 people left in the institute, including two formal researchers, three assistant researchers, four doctoral students, and four master's students."

"The others are the people in charge of finance, quality and miscellaneous people."

"As for the material research experiment, it can be done at any time, and I can temporarily top it on my side due to the lack of quality managers."

Fan Pengyue quickly reported the information sorted out in the past two days, Xu Chuan nodded after listening carefully, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, the lack of personnel must be quickly filled." ”

"As for now, let's go and meet those researchers first, if there is no problem, the institute should be mobilized, and it can't be idle forever."

Fan Pengyue nodded, the benefits of acquiring a complete research institute or laboratory are here.

As long as the personnel does not change much, it can be quickly invested in subsequent research and development, including previously uncompleted material research experiments, and can also be continued.

......

In the office, Xu Chuan looked at the more than a dozen researchers and other leaders in the laboratory, and at the same time, these researchers and leaders were also looking at the new boss worriedly.

For a small materials research institute, a boss change is a big deal, especially for two full-fledged researchers.

Because they all have previous research projects in their hands, no one knows whether the new boss will cut these projects or shrink the research funding or something after taking office.

This is related to their own vital interests, if the project is cut, then all the time and energy invested in the previous time will be wasted.

More than a dozen researchers looked at Xu Chuan with different eyes, some curious, some surprised, some excited, and some shocked.

Not everyone recognized Xu Chuan, and there were many people who devoted themselves to their own research and didn't pay much attention to external things.

When everyone gathered, Fan Pengyue presided over the meeting.

"At today's meeting, first of all, I would like to introduce our new boss to you, and I hope you don't get too excited for a while."

At the conference table, Fan Pengyue said with a smile, his words aroused the curiosity of some people, and also made the other people who recognized Xu Chuan even more excited.

"Xu Chuan, Professor Xu, this year's Fields Medal winner, the probe of Hodge's conjecture, from today on, he is the new boss of our 'Chuanhai Materials Research Institute'."

"Everyone's applause."

As the words fell, loud applause erupted in the small conference room, and some of the researchers who had recognized Xu Chuan in advance clapped vigorously, their faces full of excitement and excitement.

The faces of the other unsuspecting were full of astonishment.

Although they didn't recognize Xu Chuan, it didn't mean they hadn't heard of the name.

It's just that no one thought that this legendary name would actually appear alive in front of their eyes today and become their boss.

Xu Chuan stood up, nodded with a smile and said hello to the people in the conference room.

"It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time, and I hope that everything will go smoothly and be happy together in the future."

In the conference room, the applause was even more enthusiastic, and the applause of a small meeting of less than 20 people showed the feeling of a crowd.

Xu Chuan pressed his hand, suppressed the fierce applause, and continued: "Today's meeting, my side is just an audience, and Fan Pengyue is presiding. ”

On the side, Fan Pengyue nodded, took over the topic from Xu Chuan's hand and continued.

"Our boss has also seen it, and I believe that the future of the institute will definitely be brighter."

“....... What follows is some work scheduling. ”

"First of all, the material research and development experiment, at present, the two formal researchers have their own independent material experiments in their hands, and I know the relevant progress and the situation."

"However, from today onwards, both of them will have their material research and development projects suspended, and then there will be other tasks to be assigned.......

In the conference room, Fan Pengyue distributed related work, and Xu Chuan carefully observed the performance of various scientific researchers on the side.

It was his arrangement to directly suspend all projects of the study.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it is not suspended, a materials laboratory with total assets of only one or two hundred million, the two projects actually do not account for much scientific research funds, and it is nothing for him to continue to allocate funds for research and development.

However, he would like to take the opportunity to see some of the performances of the researchers in the institute.

He is different from the previous boss of this research institute, he does not need these scientific researchers to have strong innovation ability, as long as they are obedient enough and can do experiments, he will arrange any project.

But at the same time, he didn't want anyone in the team to be a mess.

Suspending the institute's projects will hurt the interests of most of the institute's people, and the people's hearts can be best reflected when their own interests are damaged.

.......

With Fan Pengyue's arrangement, there was a slight commotion in the conference room.

The new boss took office and directly suspended all previous research, which can be fatal for the researchers in the laboratory.

After all, the bonuses, performance, and income of the project are all linked to the experimental project.

If it is in other places, the boss dares to directly suspend the experimental project of the formal researcher for no reason, and the researcher dares to leave directly.

But here, no one spoke up, no one raised objections, and the two official researchers who had been cut off did not even frown.

No one will be a fool to be able to achieve the position of a formal researcher, and no fool will be able to do this position.

For a research dog, they know exactly what it means to be able to do research with a Fields Medal winner.

Funds, resources, top scientific research journals, and fame that were almost impossible to access before....... and all other things will be at your fingertips in the future.

Whether it is for talents who want to go further in academics, or for working dogs who want to earn more money, whether to choose to continue their own research, or follow a top bull to listen to the arrangement of the big bull from the beginning, everyone knows how to choose.

After all, in academia, it can be said that as long as you have fame, you have everything.

Otherwise, there won't be so many scientific research dogs who would rather not have money, as long as they are given the opportunity to do experiments, and they want to blend into the big cow laboratory after sharpening their heads.

Being able to do chores under the hands of top bulls is also a kind of gilding.

.......

In the conference room, Fan Pengyue's arrangement continued.

“....... In the following time, the main tasks of Chuanhai Materials Research Institute are in two aspects. ”

"The first is the research and development of electrolyte materials in lithium batteries."

"The second is the research and development of artificial SEI film materials in lithium batteries."

"The two projects are the next work of the institute, formal researcher Yu Zhen is responsible for the research and development of electrolyte materials, and Ye Zan is responsible for the research and development of artificial sei thin film materials."

"For the time being, the other researchers will continue to work with whomever they used to work with, and they still work with whomever they want."

"If there is an opinion, it can be raised now."
