Chapter 290 The problem of superconducting impurities
The next generation of the Yang family has three boys and one girl.
Yang Shirley is the youngest daughter of the Yang family and has always been deeply loved by Mr. Yang.
After graduating from Hong Kong Baptist College, he went abroad for further study and received a master's degree from Moscow State University.
After graduation, he returned to Hong Kong City and was entrusted by Mr. Yang with the important task of developing the North American market.
At this time, although the Yang family had support from the mainland and had deep roots, it was the most famous business family in Southeast Asia and was a leader in transportation, mining, commerce, etc.
However, Mr. Yang, who was on a mission, did not take credit for this and instead continued to actively forge ahead.
The North American market was the largest capital trading market in the world at that time.
Only by establishing a firm foothold in the North American market can we earn more foreign exchange for the mainland, and at the same time obtain more materials and technology.
It's just that at this time, the Yang family's Runhua Company has attracted the attention of North American plutocrats.
They will never allow a business group with unknown background to participate in the North American market.
Coupled with the fierce competition in the North American market, products produced in the mainland are not competitive.
The Yang family has spent several years working hard but has not been able to open up the situation.
The emergence of solar panels gave the Yang family hope.
At this time, due to the extremely rapid industrial development in North America, the prices of traditional energy sources such as petroleum and coal have soared. The people and chaebols are in urgent need of a new energy source that can replace traditional energy sources.
In view of this, Bell Labs increased its research on solar panels and invented the first solar panel.
It is a pity that the conversion rate of Bell Labs' solar panels is less than 4%.
And in the manufacturing process, precious metals are required, which is extremely costly and impossible to use commercially.
Bell Labs' solar panels went silent after causing a moderate wave.
Li Weidong's solar panels gave the Yang family hope.
The conversion rate reaches 25%, and the production cost is only one-tenth that of Bell Labs, fully qualified for large-scale promotion.
In North America, if you have money, you can do whatever you want.
For the sake of high profits, those chaebols will inevitably abandon their original barriers.
The Yang family regarded Li Weidong's solar panels as a stepping stone.
On a beautiful country road, under the faint sunlight.
After listening to Yang Xueli's words, Li Weidong understood the whole story.
Unexpectedly, solar panels are related to the further development of the Yang family.
But this is fine. With the vigorous promotion of the Yang family, solar panels will definitely be quickly introduced to the world.
With solar panels, the consumption of traditional energy will inevitably be reduced, which is also a good thing for environmental protection of the earth.
Oh, maybe I can even get a medal from the World Conservation Union.
[The World Conservation Union is the world's first international organization with the purpose of environmental protection, founded in 1948.]
Li Weidong is not a narrow-minded person.
The earth is the home of mankind and is related to the future of all mankind.
As a Chinese, we also have the obligation to protect it.
Of course, the premise of protection is not to hinder one's own development.
Otherwise, you will stop eating due to choking.
As a time-traveler, he clearly remembers how the big foreign plutocrats in later generations used environmental protection sticks to hinder the development of others.
"Comrade Li Weidong, this batch of solar panels is very important to our Yang family."
Li Weidong said with a smile: "Thank you Ms. Yang for your candid confession. In fact, you can rest assured that there will be no problems in the production of solar panels even without your reminder."
"This is the mainland, not a port city. The workers know that their labor will make the factory and the country stronger."
"No amount of financial incentives can compare to this."
Yang Xueli raised her little face to look at the golden sun in the sky, and nodded:
"As you said, the culture in the mainland is completely different from that in Hong Kong.
Although the port city is developed, people are impetuous, and so are the workers.
They will always hope to work the least and get the most in return.
In the production process, speculation and mischief are inevitable.
Only now do I understand why the old man insisted on purchasing goods directly from the mainland.
Rather than building a factory in the port city."
Li Weidong chuckled, looked at Yang Shirley and said: "Of course, if the Yang family is willing to pay an incentive payment, we will not be respectful. You may also know that the workers in the poverty alleviation workshop are poor households and are in urgent need of help.
Miss Yang is so beautiful, she must be very kind at heart, she wouldn’t mind helping others, right?”
Yang Xueli burst into laughter and said, "I thought you were a noble person like Director Yang and others! I didn't expect that you would also bargain with us."
Li Weidong Xiaoxiong spread his hands: "There is no way, I am a noble person and I don't deserve to eat. As the director of the workshop, I have to feed the workers and help them solve the poverty problem. This is called material civilization and spiritual civilization, both hands must be strong. We must be strong.
We must not only promote style, but also obtain benefits, so that the poverty alleviation workshop can develop sustainably and your Yang family can also get qualified products. This is called a win-win situation."
"Material civilization, spiritual civilization, sustainable development, win-win. This is the first time I have heard these words you said, and they seem very interesting."
Before Yang Xueli met Li Weidong, she originally thought that he was a driver with some skills, a rough guy with an unshaven beard.
As a result, when they met, they found that although Li Weidong was a burly man, he was very thoughtful. He kept saying that he wanted to promote his style, but in fact, he was secretly forcing the Yang family to retreat in the distribution of interests.
Just like those profiteers in Hong Kong City.
Now hearing these words, Yang Shirley felt that Li Weidong's ideological consciousness was really not low.
The little head shook his head and said to himself: This person is really interesting.
Yang Xueli thought for a long time and said: "In addition to the share in the contract and the initial construction funds paid to the steel rolling mill, I can make the decision for the Yang family. For every solar panel produced, our Yang family will pay an additional 2 yuan to the poverty alleviation workshop.
Bonus money.”
Paid to the poverty alleviation workshop. Li Weidong was keenly aware of this attributive.
In other words, this money is given directly to the poverty alleviation workshop and does not go through the steel rolling mill.
2 yuan may not seem like a lot, but as the number of solar panels increases, the accumulation is not a small amount.
If the poverty alleviation workshop produces 1,000 solar panels a month, it will receive an additional 2,000 yuan.
How many people can't save two thousand yuan in their lifetime.
Li Weidong excitedly reached out and shook Yang Shirley's little hand: "Comrade Yang Shirley, you are indeed my comrade. On behalf of the Poverty Alleviation Workshop, I thank you!"
Yang Xueli pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course, there is another premise. I heard that you built a studio in the steel rolling mill. Can you take me to visit it?"
After learning that Li Weidong had developed solar panels, the Yang family turned their attention to Li Weidong.
Overnight, the secure telephone line from the Hong Kong city to the mainland became busy, and the same name "Li Weidong" was transmitted on the line.
All information about Li Weidong was summarized and sent to Mr. Yang's study within a week.
The details from his birth, to schooling, to working in a steel rolling mill, and even his marriage to Yu Li are all clearly shown in the data.
Mr. Yang stayed in the study for three full days, and even the meals were brought in by the old butler.
The study is a forbidden area of the Yang family. Even Shirley Yang cannot enter without Mr. Yang's permission.
No one knows what happened in the study during these three days.
All I know is that when Mr. Yang came out on the third day, he seemed to be several years younger.
It turned out that the face covered with ditches was actually a bit rosy, and he didn't need a cane to walk.
The first thing Mr. Yang did after he came out was to talk to Shirley Yang in the study.
Recalling that conversation, Shirley Yang felt puzzled.
What secrets can a little driver hide?
It deserves such special attention from the Yang family.
Even Shirley Yang, who was supposed to be in charge of channel work in North America, was sent to the mainland as her representative.
Responsible for exploration work.
After a brief contact with Li Weidong, Yang Xueli somewhat understood what Mr. Yang said.
This driver is indeed not simple.
Hearing Yang Xueli's request, Li Weidong was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded in agreement.
The Yang family had made concessions in terms of interests, and it was hard for him to refuse people thousands of miles away.
Nuclear-powered cars are still just ideas. All the technical details are stored in his head, and there are no confidential documents in the studio.
The two of them walked back to the steel rolling mill along the path. The anxiety on the face of the middle-aged man who was waiting at the door of the steel rolling mill finally dissipated a little.
He was brought here from Hong Kong City by Shirley Yang. His name is Ma Xiongbing and he is in his forties.
Although Yang Shirley claimed that Ma Xiongbing was her assistant, in Li Weidong's view, this person should be responsible for bodyguards.
His temples are bulging, and his whole body is muscular. His movements are lean and crisp. The muscles behind his arms and shoulders are bulging. He has obviously practiced kung fu.
What especially attracted Li Weidong's attention was that the joints on the back of this person's hands were flat and his fingers were calloused, which may have been caused by frequent boxing against heavy sandbags or walls.
The kung fu he practices should be Muay Thai or something like that.
"Uncle Ma, the security in the mainland is ten thousand times better than that in Hong Kong. Besides, with Comrade Li Weidong accompanying us, what can happen?"
Ma Xiongbing smiled and said nothing, but stood between the two of them indifferently, keeping Li Weidong outside.
After he met Li Weidong, he felt that this person was a bit strange. Although he didn't look like he had practiced martial arts, he felt threatened by this person.
Ma Xiongbing has experienced hundreds of battles, and more than ten Muay Thai masters have died under him. His biggest reliance is his keen sense.
If it weren't for Yang Xueli's advice, he would have tried Li Weidong's skills.
When the group came outside the studio, Li Weidong stopped and looked at Ma Xiongbing.
"Comrade Ma, I'm sorry. The studio is my private place. There may be some confidential information in it. Please wait outside."
Ma Xiongbing was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yang Xueli: "Miss, it's me."
"It's okay, this is a steel rolling mill, can anything go wrong? Uncle Ma, just wait here."
Seeing Yang Xueli's attitude, Ma Xiongbing stood outside the door unwillingly. At the same time, he pricked up his ears. If there was any change inside, he would definitely rush in immediately.
The simplicity of the studio was beyond Yang Xueli's expectation. There was only one workbench and two chairs in the entire warehouse, and most of the rest were various materials.
"It's really hard here."
"Oh, the conditions in China are relatively poor. I am satisfied to have such a studio."
Li Weidong looked at Yang Xueli with a smile: "Okay, you have visited the studio, now can we go to the poverty alleviation workshop?"
There was a lot of material in the studio that he didn't want Shirley Yang to see.
Yang Xueli glanced at Li Weidong indifferently, turned around and walked to the bookshelf in the corner, which was filled with various books.
Yang Xueli looked around the books, her expression became solemn, and she took out a book, a strange look flashed in her eyes: "Golkov's "Ginzburg-Landau Phenomenological Theory",
Comrade Li Weidong, do you know Russian?"
"Self-taught, you may already know that I like self-taught the most."
"Why, you can understand it too?"
Li Weidong did not expect that Shirley Yang also knew Russian and could call Gorkov's name.
Gorkov is a famous condensed matter physicist in the Soviet Union. He has studied physical properties such as impurities and electromagnetic response in superconductors.
After adding some materials, high-temperature superconductors will have the ability to protect against radiation and are most suitable as materials for nuclear power engines.
Li Weidong commissioned Li Zheng to obtain this book from the State of Su.
Yang Xueli was even more shocked than Li Weidong. Gorkov's "Ginzburg-Landau Phenomenological Theory" can be regarded as the latest cutting-edge theory in the Soviet Union.
Li Weidong, a little driver, can actually understand?
As for the so-called self-study, it is purely a lie to children.
If one could learn this thing by oneself, then there would be no need for the Landau School to exist.
Shirley Yang thought of Mr. Yang's incredible guess.
She carefully restrained her shock, walked up to Li Weidong with the book, and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you, but I have stayed in Moscow for seven or eight years, and I once worked for Abri at the Landau Institute of Theoretical Physics.
Professor Kossoff worked as an assistant."
"Professor Abrikosov, the physics professor who studied superconducting impurities with Ginzburg and Gorkov?" Li Weidong's eyes widened and he couldn't help but take a breath.
These are all physics bigwigs in Suzhou, and it is incredible that Yang Xueli has worked with them.
Yang Shirley seemed very satisfied with Li Weidong's shock. She puffed up her bulging chest and nodded with a smile: "I particularly like physics. While getting a business degree, I also got a master's degree in physics. It's just that the old man is older.
, so I had to give up my job at the research institute and return to the port city."
"That's really a pity." Li Weidong spread his hands.
Seeing Li Weidong pretending to be stupid, Shirley Yang didn't criticize him and just sat on a chair and opened a book.
He raised his head and winked at Li Weidong: "Partner, don't you want to know the latest progress in phenomenological theory? You must know that this book was published five years ago, and after its publication, Professor Gorkov and Abrikosov
The professor worked together to improve the theory and, with the support of the Landau Institute, conducted a standard superconducting model experiment on the permafrost of Siberia."
"What? Professor Gorkov actually conducted superconducting model experiments!"
Now Li Weidong couldn't sit still.
He originally thought that phenomenological theory had been abandoned by the Langer Institute.
If he wanted to continue studying the problem of superconducting impurities, he would have to be blind to the elephant.
Unexpectedly, phenomenological theory has been applied in experiments.
