Chapter 506 Application for Permission from the United Kingdom

If it is said that it is still easy for Chang Haonan to bear a turbofan 10 project, then coupled with this heavy-duty die forging press project, it really began to make him feel a little busy.

After all, there are a lot of things in this area, and he also needs to learn and do them at the same time.

With the gradual improvement of the level of participation in the project, as well as the increasing difficulty and scale, Chang Haonan encountered a situation more and more.

That is, before he completes the project itself, he also needs to build the tools needed for the project.

If doing a project is like flipping a box, then at the time of the turbojet 14 and J-8C, it was probably the height of a hurdle, which could be climbed over with two legs and a run-up.

But when it comes to the turbofan 10, and the super-heavy die forging press, it becomes a high wall, and if you want to get there, you have to use some tools.

Of course, on another level, this is also a good thing.

There are many tools that can circumvent the wall.

And if Chang Haonan has already built a ladder when everyone else is vaulting with poles, then he can use this to collect tolls from those who want to climb over the wall later.

You can even draw a ladder.

……

Soon after Chang Haonan returned to the computing center of Beijing Airlines University after a meeting from the Northern Vehicle Research Institute, he met Yang Huimei, who came to find him.

The person who came first handed over a folder in his hand to Chang Haonan, and then took out a few crumpled envelopes from his bag and put them on the table.

"Mr. Chang, I think it's time for you to find a special secretary."

Yang Huimei said and pointed to the envelopes:

"These are the ones I found in the mailbox at the door, and while it doesn't matter what they can put there, it's not a problem to keep them piled up."

"There's no way, the above clearly stipulates that there are level restrictions on the configuration of full-time secretaries."

Chang Haonan put down the folder as he said and looked at the sender of the envelope.

It is true that they are all units that I have never heard of, and the content is nothing more than some congratulatory letters and letters.

However, Yang Huimei is also right, although this kind of thing is a red tape with little practical significance, it still has to be dealt with in the end.

So, Chang Haonan thought for a while and then continued:

"Now we only have a light commander in the office of the office of the group, and I don't have time to eat when I am busy just dealing with the coordination between various departments every day......

Since the mid-eighties, the requirements for the configuration of secretaries have been very strict.

However, at the level of departments and bureaus, such a person is really needed to help the leader deal with affairs, so over time, the chief of the office/deputy director, or the section chief of the general section under the office, becomes the actual secretarial team.

Chang Haonan's office director is a technical post transferred, belonging to the lubricant between various business departments, and it is impossible for him to specialize in chores.

Then there can only be one more comprehensive department.

"You didn't come here today to tell me about it, did you?"

Chang Haonan, who was worried that Yang Huimei would continue on this topic, hurriedly branched out from the topic-

As a professor of management, it was true that even in the 90s, it was not easy for his graduate students to find jobs.

So as the topic develops, it's easy to go in a weird direction......

"That's not it, I got this email before I got off work today."

Yang Huimei gestured towards the folder in front of Chang Haonan:

"I sent it from the United Kingdom, and I wanted to ask if we could sell a numerical calculation tool, but I didn't understand the specific technical content, so I brought it to you."

Curious, Chang Haonan flipped through the folder.

Some time ago, a user agreement adapted to EU law was codified, and users can get trial access to TORCH Multiphysics as long as they choose to accept it.

In order to cope with Europeans who love the official document format, Torch Group has even set up a standard form of trial application form on the corporate website, in which more than 85% of the content is multiple-choice questions, as long as you fill it out and submit it.

So, in general, these things can be handled by the business department itself.

You don't even have to know a foreign language.

Therefore, there are not many times when Yang Huimei needs to come over for a special trip.

Moreover, the Torch Group currently only has one product, TORCH Multiphysics.

Inside the folder turned out to be a letter.

Professor Roger Elinor from Cranfield University.

The letter mentioned the paper submitted by Chang Haonan to CMAME.

The other party said that he was very interested in the research content of the thesis, but did not have the tools at hand to carry out applied engineering research.

After being stunned for a moment, Chang Haonan realized that the other party might be the reviewer of his own article.

Of course, it is not very ethical in principle for reviewers to contact the authors directly before the article is officially published.

But no one has ever cared about it.

"What they mean is that they want to buy a professional version of TORCH Multiphysics."

After reading the whole content, Chang Haonan concluded to Yang Huimei:

"The unstructured mesh technology mentioned in it is only available in the latest version that we will release soon."

"Then just fill in the form, why are you making such trouble......

The latter shook his head rather helplessly:

"Then I'll just ask the marketing department to reply with a letter to reject them?"

The professionally upgraded version of the software needs to be reviewed by Chang Haonan himself before it can be approved, but from the beginning of the release, it was said that it would not be authorized to foreign users for the time being, so Yang Huimei didn't even ask extra.

In fact, the vast majority of users may not even know that there will be a Pro+ version on top of the Pro version.

Chang Haonan closed the folder and put it aside:

"Yes, yes, but you can attach a letter of explanation at the end."

"Say what?"

Yang Huimei said and took out the notebook and ballpoint pen she carried with her to prepare for the record.

"In other words, the professional version of TORCH Multiphysics can provide limited unstructured mesh functionality for theoretical research, and they can fill out an application form on the company's website."

"However, for further engineering applications, due to the restrictions of China's laws and regulations, it is not possible to directly transfer relevant technologies and engineering tools to foreign users, if the other party really has needs, you can submit an application for project cooperation to us in the form of joint research, or directly go to the official website of our company to purchase the numerical calculation business in the category of 'engineering calculation'."

"That's all?"

As an old fritter who often participates in various meetings, Yang Huimei's sketching skills are very good, and she completed the record almost soon after Chang Haonan finished speaking.

"Yes, it's also an advertisement for our company."

"But...... Will they really engage in R&D with us? ”

Yang Huimei didn't close the notebook immediately, but raised her head and asked with some confusion.

"This time...... Definitely not, Cranfield University is a research institute sponsored by the British Air Force, and the project is likely to be more sensitive, and it is not so easy to engage in international cooperation. ”

Chang Haonan shook his head slowly:

"Moreover, even after the Airbus incident, it is not so easy for the British to put down the shelf and engage in reciprocal cooperation with our Huaxia, old Europe, very tall."

"Wouldn't this letter be of any use, then?"

"It's really useless at the moment, but the change of perception is not something that happens overnight."

Chang Haonan paused for a moment, unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a sip of water:

"The British can think of buying us a tool this time, and their attitude has changed compared to before, we just need to subtly continue to exert this influence, and sooner or later they will be willing to take the initiative to come and ask for cooperation."
