Sail across the sea

Chapter 198 I guessed it all at once
"The old man said that technology is the primary productive force." Gao Fan said, "With the strength of our Peking University, the professors should not be so poor."

"What do you mean?"

The brothers didn't react for a while.

Gao Fan smiled and said, "Didn't the fat man just say that even if Director Teng came to Hepingmen to have a meal of roast duck, the school must approve it. Even a freshman like me can afford to invite guests, but Director Teng can't." Qike, this is not normal."

"That's different." Gu Songtao said, "You are an enterprise and can make money. We are a school, so there is no chance to make money. Our teachers, no matter how great their skills are, they can't make money. "

Gao Fan said: "In fact, our company really needs the technology of universities. When I came back this time, I wanted to discuss cooperation with the department. Our chemistry department will help develop some technologies, and we will use them for production. The money we earn will be shared by both parties." Divide together.

"As a result, several leaders in the department felt that this did not comply with the regulations and did not dare to accept it."

Hu Dongming thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid this kind of thing really doesn't comply with the regulations. I haven't heard of anyone doing this."

Wu Zixian retorted: "Regulations are dead, but people are alive. If the cooperation between the two parties is beneficial to Gao Fan's business and our department, why can't we do it?"

In other words, this is the experience Wu Zixian came to sell socks and gloves in various schools in the past six months.At the beginning, Wu Zixian was also worried that he would violate some regulations by doing so. It was because his family was too poor that he had to take the risk.

After working for a period of time, Wu Zixian's courage gradually grew, and he also had some intuitive insights into policies. He knew that many policies in the country have been liberalized. Not much to mention.

Hu Dongming's parents are inside the system, and they are more sensitive to certain rules and regulations. They feel that it is not in compliance with the regulations for a unit like a school to do business.

But Wu Zixian was born in a farming family, so he didn't understand these things at first, and he had a certain worship of Gao Fan, so he instinctively thought that Gao Fan's idea was right.

He Xujie waved his hand and said, "As students, we don't understand this kind of thing, so don't make wild guesses. Gao Fan, so you didn't succeed in what you wanted to do?"

Gao Fan shook his head: "It didn't work out. The department leaders said it was inappropriate. As a student, I am soft-spoken, so I can't argue with them."

"Then how do you think we can help you?" He Xujie continued to ask.

Gao Fan laughed and said, "Sure enough, the fourth child is shrewd, and he guessed it right away."

He Xujie pretended to be angry and said: "You little boy paid so much money to treat us to dinner, it would be strange if you didn't want to get our ideas. I knew from the beginning that the food on the table was delicious and not easy to digest."

"What else? Little Six, you are too insidious, aren't you?" Pan Chang also put on a wronged expression of being deceived, and said while glaring at Gao Fan.

"No!" Gao Fan quickly denied, "Brothers, today's meal is purely because you have known each other for half a year, and I happen to have a little power, so it can be regarded as using power for personal gain.

"As for what the fourth brother said just now, it's actually a different matter. I think that the teachers in the department have scruples and dare not cooperate with our company. I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with us?"

"How do you talk about cooperation?" Chen Chuanlin asked.

The others didn't speak, but they all focused on Gao Fan, obviously interested in Gao Fan's words.

Gao Fan said: "I want our company to propose a topic about the development of new surfactants. The funding is provided by our company and is limited to two years. You can continue this topic. In the next two years, other I I can’t guarantee it, at least you can get 50 yuan per month as a service fee, it’s not a problem.”

"50 bucks!"

Several people exchanged glances with each other, and each could see each other's excitement.

At the beginning of 1983, the monthly living expenses of a college student were only more than 20 yuan.If you save a little, you can manage with more than 10 yuan a month.

Those in dormitory 449, that is, Pan Chang's family, have a slightly better family situation, but it's only slightly better, not a wealthy family.The rest of the family just had enough food and clothing, and there were even children from such an extremely poor family as Wu Zixian.

The labor fee of 50 yuan per month is a huge sum of money that is difficult to refuse for everyone.If they have this money, they will no longer need to send living expenses from home. If they are more filial, it will not be a problem to send 10 or 20 yuan to their parents every month.

However, is this kind of money so easy to earn?
"Lao Liu, is there any specific scope for the development of new surfactants you mentioned?" Chen Chuanlin asked.

Gao Fan said: "In fact, I already have some ideas, which are roughly acylation modification of heavy alkyl benzene, and then sulfonation with chlorosulfonic acid as a sulfonating agent to synthesize a modified heavy alkyl benzene sulfonic acid. Salt surfactant.

"I have seen some introductions in foreign materials, and I think this direction is feasible. But now I don't have time, and second, I don't have experimental conditions, so I can't do experiments in this area.

"If you are interested, you can follow this direction. Without delaying your studies, I estimate that you should be able to make some famous things in two years."

Everyone has studied organic chemistry. Although they have never been exposed to the heavy alkylbenzene sulfonates mentioned by Gao Fan, they can understand the general meaning.Gao Fan has already pointed out the direction. All you need to do is to search for literature, design an experimental plan, and then start the experiment.

There will also be some theoretical analysis involved, but it is not difficult.Of the students who can be admitted to Peking University, which one is not a top student and has super self-study ability, it is easy to solve these problems.

"But, Gao Fan, are you sure that this direction will definitely produce results?" Wu Zixian asked.

Gao Fan naturally knew that this direction must have results, but now he couldn't give Wu Zixian an affirmative answer.He said:

"Scientific research is not guaranteed to produce results. I just read such ideas in foreign literature, and I think it is feasible. If there is no result, it doesn't matter. At least we can prove that this path will not work."

"Then why do we get labor fees?" Pan Chang asked.

Gao Fan smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. We are a company, and we must pay labor fees for hiring people to do things. We will pay bonuses if we make results. If we can't make results, it's not everyone's responsibility. Why? Can I owe you labor fees?"
