Chapter 186 The perfect loophole, one person’s horizontal project
Chen Jianlin was taken away so fast that even Wang Hao felt caught off guard.
He was very surprised.
Although he used mathematical methods to find problems in the alloy laboratory report, he believed that certain investigations were still needed to reveal the problem. Unexpectedly, Ding Zongquan made a phone call and Chen Jianlin was immediately taken away.
Watching Chen Jianlin's back go away, he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Everyone in the hall was talking.
Wu Linlong, Zhang Xiaodi, Xia Rong, Xie Kehua and others left after Chen Jianlin was taken away.
Several people came here to compete for Chen Jianlin's project.
Chen Jianlin was taken away, and they had no shame in staying any longer.
Wang Hao and Ding Zongquan stood together. He asked curiously, "Is this an arrest or an investigation?"
"Of course it's for review, and the Discipline Inspection Commission has no right to arrest." Ding Zongquan replied, seeming to have a lot of emotion in his heart. He and Chen Jianlin have an old relationship.
This time, Chen Jianlin went too far, but considering his past relationship, his mood was still very complicated.
He shook his head and said, "Chen Jianlin, you offended Dean Wang so much."
"How do you say this?"
Ding Zongquan pulled Wang Hao aside and whispered, "Think about it, Chen Jianlin has found several outsiders to compete for projects, where will this put our institute? Dean Wang almost hates him."
"If there is no such thing, as in this case, the normal process is to report the problem first and let the Discipline Inspection Commission investigate on its own."
"Now that the Discipline Inspection Commission takes people away directly, the situation is different."
Ding Zongquan still knew the matter very well. He continued to explain, "If the higher-level department reports the problem and actively cooperates with the investigation, the Discipline Inspection Commission will take action directly, and the relevant personnel will be directly isolated for review."
"This is the case with Chen Jianlin. Dean Wang has spoken, so he can only be taken away. If there are any problems, he should be investigated."
"After the investigation, it goes without saying that the person will be punished accordingly. If there are no problems, he will be released normally."
Wang Hao understood and continued to ask, "Is this serious?"
"It's not serious."
Ding Zongquan shook his head and said, "As you analyzed, their reporting problems may have two situations, one is that someone provides data, and the other is false data."
"The former case is the least serious and involves a confidentiality issue. The party that provides the data often receives a greater penalty than Chen Jianlin."
"Chen Jianlin will probably lose his job at most, and it shouldn't be to the extent of criminal involvement."
"If it is the latter situation, it will involve attempted fraud. Especially for such a major project, you will have to bear certain criminal liability."
"However, since it was an attempt, it won't be too serious, and the sentence will be out in a few months."
Ding Zongquan thought and concluded.
Wang Hao nodded clearly, turned around and noticed Peng Hui next to him, and immediately said, "Congratulations, Professor Peng, you guys successfully won this project!"
"……Thanks."
Peng Hui said thank you, but his expression was a little confused.
He had no idea what was happening, but while he was waiting for the results, a group of people came out cheering, and then Chen Jianlin was taken away.
what happened?
Why was Chen Jianlin suddenly taken away?
Peng Hui did not fully understand the situation. After listening to Ding Zongquan's explanation, he realized that there was something wrong with Chen Jianlin's report.
However, because he was not in the conference hall and did not know Wang Hao's mathematical analysis of the report, he was still a little confused.
At this time, many people also reacted and congratulated Peng Hui on getting the project, "Congratulations to your metal laboratory. This is the most important project of the institute's cooperation with institutions."
"You will be Wuhan Iron and Steel's most important cooperative organization from now on!"
"Congratulations, Professor Peng!"
"You did a good job in last year's project. I hope this project will do well too..."
After being congratulated by everyone, Peng Hui finally regained his energy.
Although we don't know exactly what happened, old rival Chen Jianlin was taken away for investigation, and their team got the project.
This result is good.
…
Chen Jianlin has already got in the car.
Just like Ding Zongquan's explanation, he was not arrested, but taken away for investigation. Apart from the restrictions on his freedom, he was treated well.
The people next to him also treated him very kindly and did not treat him like a prisoner. They also asked him if he had any dietary requirements.
But he didn't say a word, he just sat there blankly, thinking about the last two words Wang Hao said - perfect.
Chen Jianlin has always been a person who pursues perfection, and he treated projects the same way in his early years. He had to check many reports when applying for projects, and also checked many times on settlement project reports.
When it comes to dealing with people, he will even practice how to smile and how to speak. Every time he smiles, his expression will make people feel friendly, and how to speak can make people believe him.
Because of this, he will gain the trust of many people.
In the process of working on the project, he did a lot of work with his own hands. He would also try his best to check the work done by others and strive to make it perfect.
Whenever he encounters something, he will think about it carefully and think it through thoroughly.
He doesn't want to take any risks.
But later, Zhou Xiaolong was fired, Ma Wenjun was arrested, and there was no one available for him, so he became a little panicked when doing things.
He hopes that everything can go back to the way it was before, to establish his own prestige, to re-enter the top material circle, to compete for big projects, and to gain fame if he achieves results, until he can run for academicianship in the future, and so on.
Money, fame, power.
He wants all three.
In fact, at first, Chen Jianlin thought that he made money based on his ability.
Some projects cost more than 10 million, but he is very capable and can complete the project by spending one-third of the money. Why can't the remaining money fall into his own pocket?
That was his first money-making project.
Later it gradually changed.
He fell deeply into the temptation of 'money'. Not only for projects that could be completed, but also for some projects that might not yield results, he simply put money into his pocket and used some fake data to get through.
Now that he was in this situation, he didn't know if he could survive it.
Everything is out of control.
In Ding Zongquan's view, if Chen Jianlin's problem is magnified, that is, it involves some criminal liability, he will be sentenced to several months and lose his job, which is the maximum punishment.
Chen Jianlin didn't think so. It was just a question, and he wouldn't be so panicked.
What he fears most is being investigated, and problems may arise as soon as he investigates.
Regarding this matter itself, the Discipline Inspection Commission will definitely conduct an in-depth investigation, including people in the alloy laboratory, including other related people, will be questioned and investigated.
In addition, the scope of investigation will also be expanded.
For example, Ma Wenjun, who is about to be tried, will definitely be questioned specially, as will Zhou Xiaolong, who has already left.
Chen Jianlin is not worried about Xu Baosheng. Xu Baosheng only knows about this project.
He wasn't worried about Ma Wenjun either.
In projects that Ma Wenjun was not involved in, investigators would only ask a few casual questions.
He wasn't worried about the other people in the lab, they knew too little.
The only thing he worries about is Zhou Xiaolong.
This is an imperfect point.
Although Zhou Xiaolong has been away for a long time and does not even know the content of the project, he knows Zhou Xiaolong too well after being together for a long time.
Even if it is just a normal inquiry, Zhou Xiaolong will be very panicked.
Will Zhou Xiaolong reveal any information, which will lead to the expansion of the investigation and even dig up the original project problems?
This is what Chen Jianlin is most worried about.
But he could do nothing but wait for follow-up news.
…
WISCO Research Institute.
Everything seems to be over, but some people are still very worried.
Xu Baosheng has been waiting outside.
After Chen Jianlin was taken away, they were in an awkward situation and had no choice but to wait outside.
Xu Baosheng waited until Wang Hao arrived.
Wang Hao and Wang Jiming went to have lunch together, and saw Xu Baosheng calling him in the distance. He greeted the others and walked over there.
"Senior!"
Xu Baosheng was obviously very excited, "What's wrong with Professor Chen? What should I do?"
He had never thought of such a thing.
Wang Hao frowned slightly and asked, "Baosheng, tell me the truth, does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Xu Baosheng lowered his head and said nothing.
Wang Hao looked at his expression, sighed, and said, "If you are in trouble, I won't ask you. I just learned from others that the matter is not serious. It is estimated that it will be difficult for Chen Jianlin to preside over the alloy laboratory again."
"If someone comes to ask you, you just need to cooperate with the investigation."
"When the time comes, say whatever you want and don't cover up the facts. That's all I can tell you."
After Wang Hao finished speaking, he was about to walk away. After thinking about his previous relationship with Xu Baosheng, he added, "If your Ph.D. study is affected, you can try to apply for other related degrees. If you have any questions, please contact me."
He knew at a glance that Xu Baosheng must be involved, otherwise Chen Jianlin would not be able to bring Xu Baosheng with him, but it was hard to say how deep the involvement was.
If the involvement is deep enough, even to the point of being held criminally responsible, then this is the only place we can go.
Everyone has their own path, and if you make the wrong choice, you have to pay the price.
…
For the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute, the project bidding matter has ended.
It was completely unexpected that something like this happened midway, and many people had mixed emotions.
Wang Jiming was in a very good mood.
In the past few days, he felt very depressed because the affairs of the institute were interfered with by people from the group, and he could not make the final decision within his own rights.
Everything is solved now.
When Wang Jiming had dinner with Wang Hao, he also expressed his gratitude to him. After talking a few words about Chen Jianlin, the topic turned to the focus.
They invited Wang Hao to the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute not for project bidding.
In name, Wang Hao was invited to visit and provide guidance. In fact, there were real research problems, and he wanted Wang Hao to give his opinions, or hope that Wang Hao could help solve them.
Wang Jiming and Ding Zongquan started talking together.
"It's still a double-kun casting and rolling production line. We have been studying this."
"This production line is very important to the group, and it can now produce continuously and efficiently."
"But the problem is not solved yet."
Wang Jiming said, "The temperature and magnetic field control you mentioned are the main reasons for the occurrence of steel cracks. We have found a stable temperature and magnetic field control method, but there are problems with the adjustment."
"Because the quality of steel is different, it is also difficult to adjust the magnetic field and temperature."
"We hope to find a balance point to minimize the occurrence of defective products."
"This is the main direction!"
Wang Jiming's explanation was very general and he directly stated the problem.
Wang Hao was confused after hearing this.
The last time he came to the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute, he just said one sentence about the problem, and it was a sudden inspiration.
After I finished talking, I almost forgot about it on the way back.
What double-kun casting and rolling production line, what ultra-thin strip technology, what magnetic field, temperature control...
None of this has anything to do with mathematics.
Anyway, it was not something that Wang Hao could care about. He gave a helpless smile and said, "Academician Wang, please slow down. I still don't understand what problem you have encountered."
"It's a double-kun casting and rolling production line. I think this is what I was talking about last time?"
"What did I say?"
"..."
"..."
Wang Jiming and Ding Zongquan looked at each other, their mouths half-opened and not closed for a long time.
They discovered an overlooked point.
Wang Hao didn't pay attention to the issue of Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute at all. Maybe he said it by 'accident' last time?
The other person didn’t even remember the question!
I originally thought that Wang Hao would be able to understand it simply by explaining it, but it turned out that this was far from the case.
Ding Zongquan was helpless and explained it carefully again.
Only then did Wang Hao understand.
The last time he came to the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute, he visited the double-kun casting and rolling testing experiment and talked about the defective rate problem caused by steel cracks.
At that time, Wang Hao believed that the occurrence of steel cracks had nothing to do with technology and process, but was directly related to temperature and magnetic field stability control.
Later, Wang Jiming led a team to conduct experiments for a week before confirming that what Wang Hao said was correct.
The Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute has been conducting research on the double-kun casting and rolling production line, mainly hoping to improve the defective rate of the double-kun casting and rolling production line.
But then we encountered a series of problems.
Even with stable temperature and magnetic field control devices, the defective rate still cannot be controlled. They have done many experiments, hoping to find the balance point of temperature and magnetic field control, but because the data is too complicated, they still cannot find the best solution.
's balance point.
The purpose of inviting Wang Hao to visit and provide guidance this time is also to hope that Wang Hao can help solve this problem.
After Wang Hao heard this, he asked incomprehensibly, "You came to me to solve this problem?"
"Right?" Wang Jiming answered doubtfully.
"Let me ask you first," Wang Hao said, "How much money have you invested in this research in one year, and how much money do you plan to invest in the future?"
"this……"
Wang Jiming glanced at Ding Zongquan.
Ding Zongquan silently calculated and said, "It should be more than 30 million, right?"
"In the follow-up, maybe another 30 million?"
"So, this is a big study!"
Wang Haodao, "Such a major research, such a major problem, you invite me here, and I can solve it in one go? Do you think I am a god?"
"To put it bluntly, I am just a PhD in mathematics and a professor. No matter how great I am, I am just a scholar."
He laughed even as he spoke.
Although he is very confident in his abilities, an important research project of the institute has not produced direct results for a year, so he can solve it by just coming over?
This all sounds weird.
Wang Hao does not believe that he has this ability. It is much more difficult to do this than proving Goldbach's conjecture. It is simply impossible to accomplish.
Wang Jiming and Ding Zongquan thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case.
Wang Jiming still said, "Professor Wang, we have discussed carefully. You are good at data analysis. We have conducted many experiments in the past year, but data analysis is a big problem."
He got to the point, "Actually, this problem still comes down to data analysis, which needs to be used to draw conclusions. We have done our own research and found two teams, but they have not analyzed the problem."
"After thinking about it, I still need to find you, Professor Wang!"
"Yes, yes!" Ding Zongquan also nodded.
Wang Hao smiled bitterly and said, "That can't be completed in one day. Data analysis is a huge task, and conclusions cannot be drawn just by looking at it. For every experimental analysis task, the larger the data, the more complicated it becomes."
He still shook his head.
However, when I heard that it was experimental data analysis, I felt confident.
Wang Jiming thought about it carefully and suddenly said, "Well, Professor Wang, just follow the project process. How about you help us do data analysis and have normal horizontal project cooperation?"
"Horizontal project? Me alone?" Wang Hao didn't understand.
Wang Jiming thought for a moment and suddenly felt that his idea was very good, so he continued, "Whether you are alone or a team, as long as you can complete the analysis and come up with valid conclusions, that is the most important thing."
"Now we really need professional data analysis. I don't think it's feasible to find other people or other teams. You are the expert in this field."
"yes!"
Ding Zongquan also nodded.
He had strong objections to Wang Hao at first, but gradually he realized that Wang Hao was really great, and now he has no feelings at all, and he also supports Wang Jiming's decision.
"This... let me think about it."
Wang Hao feels that it seems strange to do data analysis and have to go through the project process. It involves the experimental content of the past year and it is difficult to analyze the results in a short time. It seems that going through the project is the best way?
one person?
Horizontal project?
Seeing Wang Hao's hesitation, Wang Jiming immediately said, "Let's do this, Professor Wang, five million dollars, you can help us solve this problem."
Wang Hao hesitated for a moment.
Ding Zongquan said, "Six million, if we can solve it for six million, everything will be worth it!"
"This can be..."
Seeing that Wang Hao was still refusing, Wang Jiming became cruel and gritted his teeth and said, "Eight million! As long as there are results, it's fine. But if there are no results within a year, we have to take back the remaining funds."
"This...okay!"
Wang Hao sighed, feeling a little helpless. A horizontal project by himself?
Everything feels weird.
However, since the other party is so sincere and they are old friends, it would not be good to refuse.
