Sail across the sea

Chapter 256 Take a little spare time
"How can this be an unreasonable idea?" Gao Fan said, "Mr. Hai, we are the top scientific research institution in the country, and we cooperate with a county-level chemical fertilizer factory, which is called favor.

"You don't know, I heard that a professor from Peking University is going to visit our factory. Our factory can't wait to pour clean water on the street, pad the road with loess, and let every family take a bath and burn incense..."

"Stop it!"

Hai Qingwen just felt uncomfortable, as if someone had thrown two dead mice into his neck.He waved his hand to interrupt Gao Fan's narration, and then said:
"Gao Fan, the matter of the base has been finalized, but in the later stage, it will require some funds for equipment modification and experimentation. I remember you promised me this matter."

"10 a year, if it is not enough, I will add more." Gao Fan did not forget his promise to Hai Qingwen.

Hai Qingwen nodded slightly, while Zhou Xiaoyun clicked his tongue softly, a little bit hesitant to speak.

"Why, Aunt Zhou, is there a problem?" Gao Fan saw it and asked Zhou Xiaoyun.

Zhou Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, and asked: "10 a year, and it's just a payment without return. Will it be too much pressure for your labor service company?"

Gao Fan said: "It's okay, we still have cleaning agent export business, and the profit is not bad."

Zhou Xiaoyun changed the subject: "Actually, what I want to say is that according to Professor Hai's proposal, the annual funding of 10 yuan may not be enough."

Gao Fan couldn't help laughing: "Aunt Zhou, which side are you on?"

Zhou Xiaoyun also smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "I don't take sides, I'm just seeking truth from facts. It's too difficult for a small labor service company like yours to fund such a large project of coal liquefaction. "

"It's good to have 10 yuan in funding." Hai Qingwen excused Gao Fan, "We are in school, and it is almost impossible to apply for a 10 yuan project. With this 10 yuan, Some basic experiments can be done, at least not to be left too far behind by foreigners.”

"For the issue of funds, we can still think of a way. If the company's income is good, it is not impossible to add some more." Gao Fan said.

"This... Xiao Gao, you don't have to force yourself too much. Coal chemical research is a bottomless pit. Zhou Gong is right. I count on your support from a labor service company full of unemployed young people, and there is only input and no output. It's really inappropriate." Hai Qingwen said insincerely.

From his heart, he certainly hoped that Gao Fan could provide him with more funds.But Lao Hai is also a person who needs face after all. As a dignified professor of Peking University, he asked a first-year undergraduate to bring more than 200 unemployed youths to earn research funds for him. This old face is really unbearable.

As everyone knows, what Gao Fan was waiting for was Hai Qingwen's words, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Hai, if you are really sorry, you can spare some spare time and do us a little favor, so as to save you from saying that the funds we provide are only Input, no output."

"Help?" Hai Qingwen was taken aback, hey, something seems wrong?
Gao Fan smiled innocently, and said, "Actually, the main reason is that you feel sorry for Mr. Hai. You took the funds we provided, took a little spare time, and even just need to ask my brothers and sisters to help us The company solves some small technical problems, which can also be regarded as an equivalent exchange.

"If our company can earn more money in the future, if I propose to add some funds to the base, the resistance in the company will be less, don't you think?"

When he said this, Zhou Xiaoyun had already understood. While Hai Qingwen was still in a daze, Zhou Xiaoyun gave Gao Fan a hard look, and after the stare, there was already a smile in her eyes.

He is really a child who refuses to suffer, why didn't he see it when he was a child?
Hai Qingwen pondered what Gao Fan said, and then filtered out modifiers such as "a little bit", "amateur", and "little".Anyway, he is also a person who is about to go to the fifth place, and he has been tested for a long time, and he still can't understand the subtext in these modifiers.What "a little bit" is clearly "billion points", okay?

Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, but this is also good, and let's hear what the white-eyed wolf student has in mind.If the requirements are not too harsh, you can spare some time to help them do some work, and then ask him for money in the future, and you will have the confidence.

Thinking of this, Hai Qingwen nodded and said, "There is no problem at all. Why, Xiao Gao, did you encounter any technical problems during the production process?"

Gao Fan led the two of them to a nearby table, blew the dust off the table, then took out a few prints from his small satchel, spread them out on the table, and invited them to look at them.

On the blueprint, there are schematic diagrams of several equipment drawn by Gao Fan with a pencil, and the approximate size is also marked.Both Hai Qingwen and Zhou Xiaoyun are experts in the chemical industry, and they can tell at a glance that these equipments are several tanks, an evaporator, and a centrifuge. I can't see it anymore.

"Our company intends to build a vitamin C production facility. The initial consideration is to produce 5000 tons per year. These are several key equipment in this facility."

"A vitamin device with an annual output of 5000 tons?" Hai Qingwen widened his eyes, "Xiao Gao, do you know how much it costs to build such a device?"

Gao Fan shook his head.In fact, he remembered some investment data about the vitamin C device. Although it was a quotation from later generations, it can also estimate the investment required to build a set of such a device based on the price level.

However, he planned to listen to the data Hai Qingwen said first, so as to compare it with his own judgment.

"The North Pharmaceutical Factory in Qidong built a 2000-ton plant last year, and it cost more than 5000 million yuan. I went to see them, and they said that if they want to install a 4-ton plant, the investment will be more than twice as much. You can't beat even a billion," Hai Qingwen said.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of high-end talents in China. Although Hai Qingwen's research direction is coal chemical industry, he is often invited to participate in the research or review of chemical engineering projects in other fields.In fact, chemical processes in different fields have similarities, and even many equipments can be used in common.

"4 million is a bit exaggerated." Gao Fan shook his head, "I have read about the device in the North Pharmaceutical Factory, it was imported from abroad, and it uses the Layer process. My device, We plan to use the two-step method invented in our country, the process is simpler, and the equipment requirements can be greatly reduced, so it will definitely not cost so much money."
