Material Empire

Qin Hai's request is very vague, in fact, it is necessary to send researchers to participate in Nimes' scientific research work. The use of so-called supervision funds is fake, and the real purpose of stealing teachers and learning is the real purpose. Of course, it is said that stealing the teacher to learn art, in fact, everything is done in the open, there is nothing to hide.

Nimes naturally knows Qin Hai's intentions. They want more than just the ultimate technology. They also want to master specific research methods. No matter how good a technology is, it can only be used for a period of time and will soon be replaced by newer technology. And if you have mastered the research methods, then you can continuously create new technologies, which is the long-term vision.

Church disciples, master starved to death, this principle is the same for all industries. Nim knew this, but could not refuse Qin Hai's request. The reason is simple. If he agreed to this request, he could at least finish his current research work, and maybe he could get a tenured professor position in the school because of such research. If he refused, he would not have the funds to support him , Will not even be able to maintain its current status.

What will happen in the future can only be thought about later. This is what Nim is now.

"If so, then we can initial a letter of intent, and after I return to China, we will arrange for people to contact Mr. Nim. I hope Mr. Nim can provide us with two invitation letters for visiting scholars and we will send two Researchers to assist Mr. Nim's work. "Qin Hai said.

"The cost of these two researchers ..." Nim asked cautiously. It is not a trivial expense for two people to eat and live in the United States. He must ask for it clearly.

"Their costs are all borne by us and are not included in the 500,000 US dollars we provide to you." Qin Hai said generously.

"Then there will be no problem." Nimes was relieved, as long as he didn't spend his money. Then send someone to come, who would make the US side not pay attention to this research, and don't blame the Chinese for learning technology. In fact, in the eyes of scholars, technology is just a tool for making a living, such as national defense security, China's threat and the like. What to do with him?

Sending Nim away, Qin Hai smiled secretly. He had already thought about it. Two visiting scholar places were sent to Nimes. One was given to the 70x Institute for them to arrange a researcher to go as a local person. The other place was reserved for the School of Materials. Young scholars travel. Be able to learn from foreign research methods. It doesn't really cost a million or two dollars. Qin Hai has made a rough estimate just now. The technology of magnetic polymer microspheres can be applied in many fields. It is in the hands of Daqin Group to create a profit of 10 million US dollars.

There are many people who come directly to the door like Jonas and Nimes. Qin Hai's room was almost free, and visitors were constantly flowing. Qin Hai knows all aspects of materials science. Whether he is talking about project cooperation with enterprises or scientific research support with scholars, he can grasp the essentials and propose a win-win cooperation plan. In the past few days, almost all the people who came to negotiate came back with satisfaction and returned home. They all appreciated Qin Hai's open-mindedness and fairness. they do not know. Qin Hai is also secretly enjoying himself, because he benefits far more than those of his collaborators.

During the four-day meeting, Qin Hai was busier than anyone. Others just have meetings to listen to speeches. After the meeting, you can also stroll around the streets of Paris, and Qin Hai attends the meeting during the day and negotiates with everyone in the apartment at night. He promised Germer to drink sherry again and again, until the end of the annual meeting, scholars left one after another, Qin Hai was idle. I can fulfill my promise.

"Qin, I can't remember. Have we met in the past?"

In a humble pub on the banks of the Seine, Qin Hai and Ge Mo face to face sitting at a small table by the window. There was a glass of sherry in front of everyone, and they were chatting happily. Gomer looked at Qin Hai, and couldn't remember what he had done with this young man. After enduring for a long time, he finally asked directly.

Qin Hai raised his glass and sipped the wine in a small mouth, just smiling and not answering. In the previous life, he had a good personal relationship with the older Germer, and he had several opportunities to sit and drink in the tavern like this, but how did he explain this to Germer? Since it's not clear, it's better to leave a suspense for Gemmer to figure it out.

"I'm sure we must have met for the first time because I don't know anything about you. But how did you know my nickname and also that I like to drink ice-free sherry and other things? It's totally unbelievable, "Germer said, scratching his head.

Qin Haidao: "Old Gomer, in ancient China, there was a word called" Shenjiao ", which means that although two people have never met before, they are already friends in spirit. You and me, even if you have Gods Good friends for a long time, why do we have to investigate why? "

"China is a mysterious place. It may not be surprising that such a thing happened in China." Gomer shrugged his shoulders and said, "Looks like I need to go to China to see what this has. Mysterious country with thousands of years of civilization. "

Qin Hai asked strangely, "Why, old Gemme, have you never been to China?"

"Yes, I have never been there," Germer replied.

At that time, China's degree of opening up was relatively low, Chinese people had few opportunities to go abroad, and foreigners did not have much chance to come into contact with Chinese things. They were still a little worried about China's politics and social environment, so they came to China. Few people travel. As a big-name scholar, Gemmer has been to many countries around the world, but he has never been to China.

"Since this is the case, then I solemnly send you an invitation, please go to China to have a look, and I will arrange someone to provide you with the full service." Qin Hai said seriously.

"Thank you very much for your invitation, I will definitely take the time to go. I knew very early that China has the Great Wall of China and the Summer Palace. These are places that I am very interested in, but I have never had a chance to see them." Mo said that he was a very frank person, and what he thought in his heart, he said it directly in his mouth. Nothing pretending to be polite.

Qin Haidao: "You can take your wife with you. If your children are willing to go with me, I also welcome it. You only need to bear the cost of your air tickets, and all the board and lodging expenses in China are covered by I'm responsible. "

"Really? That's great." Gomer Haha laughed. "Qin, I found that you are really an excellent businessman. I heard a lot of people say that working with you is a very pleasant thing these days. Now I feel the same way."

"In fact, I just like to make friends." Qin Hai laughed. "Of course, if these friends can become my business partners. I will be very happy."

"I'm not a businessman, and I haven't done specific research for a long time. How could you be interested in a person like me who is worthless?" Gum asked curiously.

"I don't think so." Qin Haidao, "You are a senior member of the International Materials Society. It has a great influence in the material science community. I also hope that after seeing the beauty of China, you will put the material conference next year in China. Go hold it. "

"You mean, do you want to host the annual material meeting?" Ge Mo keenly seized the machine front in Qin Hai dialect.

"If possible, we really hope to host an annual meeting of materials." Qin Hai said unabashedly, he knows Ge Mo's personality, it is best not to cover up in front of this old man, it is best to be outspoken. Strategy.

Hosting the annual academic conference is generally a loss. Although the scholars have to pay a certain amount of conference fees, these fees are not enough to compensate the conference expenses. If you want to organize an annual conference, the organizer often invites some big cattle to attend the conference for free. The transportation expenses, room and board expenses, etc. of these Daniels are all included in the conference expenses. The more people invited, the heavier the financial burden of the conference host.

However, the benefits of hosting an annual conference are also very obvious, especially for developing countries like China. In the meantime, holding the annual conference can play a propaganda role. Let the outside world know the level of China's science and technology development; secondly, hold such academic annual conferences locally. It can provide more domestic scholars and students with the opportunity to have close contact with foreign scholars, which will broaden their horizons and improve their academic level. It's all good.

At that time, China ’s overall state of science and technology was still not far behind the world ’s advanced level. In addition, the country ’s funding was tight and it was difficult to support the cost of large-scale international conferences, so there were not many annual conferences of international societies held in China. . Qin Hai came to Paris this time and saw the grand occasion at the annual meeting, and could not help but think of hosting an annual material meeting. He specifically invited Gemmer out to drink, and he also had the idea of ​​lobbying Gemmer, otherwise, he would not be so generous to invite Gemmer's family to travel to China.

"The International Materials Annual Conference has never been held in China. If the next or next annual conference can be held in China, I think everyone will be interested." Gomer said, "But before that, I hope to see the academic level demonstrated by Chinese scholars. You need to prove that China's material industry can provide enough wonderful papers for the annual conference. "

Qin Hai asked: "Are the papers submitted by our scholars at this annual meeting not enough?"

"If you are referring to a dissertation on iron-based superconductivity made by your fiancee, Ms. Tranquility, I will certainly say that it is excellent. However, the performance of other Chinese scholars at this annual meeting can only be regarded as a medium level. I have reviewed all the conference papers, and I have to say with great regret that there are many bright spots in the research of Chinese scholars, but the overall research level is still lacking, "Germer said.

"We have too much time." Qin Hai nodded, accepting Germer's criticism. The academic traditions that Western countries have accumulated over a hundred years are not so easily surpassed. Although Chinese scholars such as Chen Zongze, Sun Yuzhi, and Zhang Yating are very clever and diligent, they lack a solid academic foundation after all. Compared with foreign scholars, the gap is still very obvious.

For a simple example, when foreign scholars receive undergraduate education, the professor who taught them may be the former Nobel Prize winner. The academic training they received in the subtle way is beyond the reach of Chinese scholars. . Chen Zong, they are learning western academic norms almost from scratch. It is really difficult for them to reach the level of western academic circles in a short time.

Quiet's dissertation can be recognized by Gemmer, in fact, it is not because of its academic strength, but the discovery that iron-based superconductivity has high academic value. In other words, this is the role played by Qin Hai's golden fingers.

"Mr. Gomer, precisely because China's materials research is still relatively backward, we need such an opportunity so that our young people can access world-class scholars. You must admit that Chinese young scholars are very smart Yes, what they lack is just experience. "Qin Hai said.

"You're right." Gomer nodded, "Well, I will formally propose this proposal to all members at the next council. If China can provide sufficient funding support for the annual meeting, I think it is hopeful that this proposal will be passed on the Board. "

Qin Hai did not hesitate to say: "There is no problem in terms of funds. My Daqin Group is willing to provide all the funds for the annual meeting."

"That would be great, I look forward to seeing you again in China next year ~ www.readwn.com ~ Gomer said.

"As long as you say, cheers!" Qin Hai raised his glass.

"Cheers!" Ge Mo also raised his glass and touched Qin Hai.

This matter is enough to this extent. The remaining things need to be coordinated by Gomer, and when necessary, the Daqin Group needs to make some more expressions. Next, the two introduced the topic to some academic-related issues. Germer was a senior authority in materials science, and Qin Hai was a material genius with memories of two generations. He talked about the development trend of materials technology. The two were tacit and talked with interest.

While chatting, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and Germer's assistant Willitz hurried in. As soon as he saw Gemmer, he took three steps and stepped forward in two steps, and said, "Mr. Gemmer, you are really here, Mr. Henlock, the Minister of Ecology, sent someone to look for you everywhere."

"Is there anything?" Germer asked.

Willitz said: "A Saudi oil tanker had an accident off the coast of Le Havre, and at least 2,000 tons of crude oil leaked into the sea. Mr. Henlock asked you to rush to Le Havre immediately to discuss the issue of marine oil pollution." to be continued)
