"Dad, why did you call me here?" Victor Tsereteli asked Ragimov in surprise.
"This is a friend I met when I was in China." Rajimov pointed at Lu Jingrong, "The others are his colleagues."
"Hello." Tsereteli nodded to everyone. When he heard that Lu Jingrong was busy translating Russian for Qin Hai and Xiao Hei, he immediately changed to English and said his greetings again.
Seeing that the other party could speak English, Qin Hai finally found his own use. He stretched out his hand to Tsereteli and said: "Mr. Tsereteli, my name is Qin Hai, and I came to the Soviet Union to recruit on behalf of China Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory.
Talented.”
Tsereteli shook hands with Qin Hai and then asked: "Mr. Qin, you said you are from China Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory. Are you the company that first invented the thermal spray machine?"
This is called the name of a person and the shadow of a tree. Thermal spray technology has such a big impact, but any expert in the field of metal materials will know more or less. Chita Petroleum Machinery United Factory's economic situation has not been good in recent years.
Well, he didn’t have the spare money to purchase such equipment, but Tsereteli had been paying attention to thermal spray machines for more than a day or two. From some technical literature, he learned that the company that first invented the thermal spray machine was called Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery.
Factory, now that Qin Hai said it, he naturally took the lead.
"Yes, and this company is controlled by me personally. The earliest patents on the thermal spray machine all belong to me." Qin Hai said without concealment.
"So that's it." Tsereteli's eyes changed obviously when he looked at Qin Hai. After the advent of Qin Hai's thermal spray machine, international research on thermal spray technology set off a revolution, with new patents emerging one after another.
The price of spraying machines has also been declining. But Tsereteli knows that as the first person to introduce a thermal spraying machine to the market, the profits gained from this equipment are calculated in billions of dollars. And this person is actually standing now
in front of yourself.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Seryozha didn't understand English, and he didn't know what his father said to Qin Hai, but he saw something unusual in his father's face, and there was actually a look of admiration on it.
.Does he know that his father has always been too high-minded and rarely worships anyone?
Of course, Tsereteli would not explain anything to his son, but Ragimov called his grandson over and whispered something to him. Then, Seryosha’s eyes became strange. Ragimov
He also knows some English. He has heard his son-in-law talk about thermal spray machines. Although he doesn't know much about this kind of equipment, he can at least guess what kind of person Qin Hai is.
The purpose of Qin Hai revealing his identity was to convince the other party. Without any prestige, it would be very difficult to poach people with red lips and white teeth. He smiled at Tsereteli and said: "We
There are some new research projects now that require experienced engineers, and I wonder if Mr. Tsereteli is interested in joining them."
"What kind of work are you doing?" Tsereteli asked involuntarily. He didn't even think about the fact that the other party was Chinese. If he wanted to join the other party's research plan, it would mean going to China to work.
Qin Hai told the Chemical Engineering Design Institute about the development of ethylene equipment, focusing on the issue of low-temperature steel. After listening, Tsereteli nodded and said: "These are technologies we have already solved.
However, some aspects can still be optimized. If it weren't for the discontinuation of research in the factory, maybe we would have come up with better steel now."
Qin Hai was not surprised by Tsereteli's answer. The Soviet Union's technological accumulation in heavy industry has always been very profound, and many fields have even reached the world's leading level. This is just because the Soviet Union likes to be self-isolated in technology. Not quite.
Participating in international cooperation and competition, these technologies have not been able to meet the world. Perhaps due to the cold climate, the Soviet Union’s research on low-temperature materials is even better than others. Chinese engineers and technicians are still struggling to solve the problem.
In the eyes of Soviet engineers, it was indeed a piece of cake.
"Mr. Tsereteli, are you interested in going to China to continue your research?" Qin Hai asked, "We can provide you with all the research conditions you need."
"Dad, what do you think?" Tsereteli turned to Ragimov. He was both Ragimov's son-in-law and his student. For such a big matter, he must have consulted Ragimov first.
Husband’s opinion.
Rajimov said slowly: "I'm old, and I can't understand many things anymore. You still have to make your own decisions about such big things, right? However, if you are still doing nothing in the future like now, you might as well find someone who can
Wherever you work, you can avoid wasting your own research."
In recent years, as the operating conditions of the factory have deteriorated, technology research and development work has long been at a standstill. Ragimov said that Tsereteli had nothing to do, which was precisely for this situation. Tsereteli believes that in the foreseeable future, Tsereteli will
, this situation is unlikely to change substantially, and the tendency of his father-in-law speaking to him in this way can be imagined.
In recent years, there are not a few colleagues who have gone to work abroad. It is not that Tsereteli has never thought about going abroad, but he has not found a suitable opportunity. Now someone comes to the door, and his father-in-law also expresses his approval
, Tsereteli has nothing to hesitate about.
"If I go to work in China, what kind of treatment can you give me?" Tsereteli asked Qin Hai.
"Based on your current salary, multiply it by five times. Provide housing, air tickets to visit relatives, all expenses for your family to visit you in China, two vacations a year, and you can go anywhere in China you want to go." Qin Hai replied without thinking.
, these are the conditions that he had already considered before setting off, and had also discussed them with Ji Zhenrong, Fan Zhiyuan and others. They are all applicable to experts of Tsereteli's level.
The Soviet Union's salary standards have always been higher than those in China. Multiplied by five times, it is more than ten times higher than that of researchers like Lu Jingrong. But Lu Jingrong listened to Qin Hai's words without any dissatisfaction in his heart.
In his view, the treatment of foreign experts should be much higher than his own. This was true in the 1950s and is still true now.
"The conditions are pretty good." There was a blush on Tsereteli's face. He was a technical geek and was not good at bargaining with others, especially when it came to his own treatment. He was embarrassed to argue too much.
In fact, if he is willing to raise the price, Qin Hai will also agree, because if countries like Japan and the United States come to poach people, the treatment they will give should be better than what Qin Hai gives.
"I still need some assistants to do research in this area... Of course I know there are many colleagues in China, but I have a few assistants who can cooperate with me quite well. If possible..." Tsereteli stammered
said.
Qin Hai smiled: "Mr. Tsereteli, you don't have to worry about anything. If you need to bring any assistants with you, just ask them. As long as they are willing, we will accept them. However, the treatment we will give depends on the technical level.
It may be slightly lower, I think you should be able to understand, right?"
"Of course, of course." Tsereteli said repeatedly, "I think they will know what kind of treatment they should enjoy."
"In addition to your research team, do you know other...experts who don't have much research work currently?" Qin Hai asked further. He originally wanted to say which experts were also in a difficult situation, but after thinking about it, he still
Changed to a more euphemistic term.
"Of course, most of the companies in Chita Prefecture have stopped production now, and my colleagues are all idle at home. However, not all of them are engaged in low-temperature materials, some are engaged in chemical engineering control, and some are engaged in machinery. I don't
Find out if your research project also requires experts in these fields,” Tsereteli said.
Qin Haidao: "As long as they are truly talented experts, we need them. Can Mr. Tsereteli introduce them to us?"
"I'm very happy," Tsereteli said, "I think my friends are also interested in meeting you."
At this point, everyone was already enjoying themselves. When Seryozha heard that his father had agreed to work in China and could get five times the current salary, his face had already burst into laughter. Thanks to Gossip for his enlightened policies.
, the countless "free" media that have sprung up have long turned the Soviet Union into cinders. Young people like Seryosha no longer have any good impressions of the country and doctrine. In their eyes, there is only the sound of
The ruble is the most dear, of course, if it can be exchanged for rattling dollars, that would be even better.
"There is one more thing I want to ask you about." Qin Hai struck while the iron was hot and then said to Tsereteli: "According to the news I heard, some companies in Chita Prefecture are planning to eliminate some equipment due to insufficient operation. Do you have
No information on this?"
"You mean... you also plan to purchase these... obsolete equipment?" Tsereteli's face looked a little unnatural.
Of course he knew what Qin Hai meant by "elimination", and there were indeed many factories in Chita that were "eliminating" a lot of equipment. The equipment that could be "eliminated" was basically the most advanced equipment in the factory.
Otherwise, no one would be willing to take over the valuable equipment. At the joint petroleum machinery factory where Tsereteli works, the director is working with the chief engineer to resell the equipment in the factory through various methods to enrich their own pockets.
.
For these things, Tsereteli both hated and felt helpless. Now that Qin Hai actually asked about this matter, and clearly showed that he wanted to take advantage of the situation like others, Tsereteli was in a bit of a dilemma. (To be continued...
