Qin Hai's request is very vague. In fact, it is to send researchers to participate in Nim's scientific research work. The so-called supervision of the use of funds is false, and the real purpose is to learn from others. Of course, it is said to be to learn from others.
, in fact, everything is done in the open, there is nothing to hide.
Nimu naturally knew Qin Hai's intentions. What he wanted was not just the final technology, but also the specific research methods. No matter how good a technology is, it can only be used for a period of time and will be updated soon.
replaced by technology. And if you master the research methods, you can continuously create new technologies. This is the long-term perspective.
The principle of teaching apprentices and starving masters is the same for all industries. Nimu knew this, but he could not refuse Qin Hai's request. The reason was simple. By agreeing to this request, he could at least complete his current research work.
After all, he might be able to get a tenured professor position in the school because of such research; and if he refuses, he will not even be able to maintain his current position without financial support.
We can only think about future things later. This is Nim's current mentality.
"If this is the case, then we can initial a letter of intent, and when I return to China, I will arrange for someone to contact Mr. Nimu. I hope Mr. Nimu can provide us with two invitation letters for visiting scholars, and we will send two
Researchers are going to assist Mr. Nimu in his work." Qin Hai said.
"Then the fees for these two researchers..." Nim asked cautiously. The food, accommodation and transportation for two people in the United States was not a small expense, and he had to ask clearly.
"Their expenses are all borne by us, and are not included in the 500,000 US dollars we provide you." Qin Hai said generously.
"Then there will be no problem." Nimu was relieved. As long as it didn't cost him money, he could just send people. Who told the United States not to pay attention to this research? Don't blame the Chinese for taking away the technology.
In fact, in the eyes of scholars, technology is just a tool for making a living. What does national defense, security, China threats, etc. have to do with them?
After sending Nim away, Qin Hai smiled secretly in his heart. He had already considered two places for visiting scholars to be sent to Nim. One was given to the 70x Institute and asked them to arrange for a researcher to go as a local staff; the other was sent to Nim.
One spot is reserved for the School of Materials Science and Technology to select a young scholar to travel.
It is not too much to spend one to two million US dollars to learn foreign research methods. Qin Hai has made a rough estimate just now. The technology of magnetic polymer microspheres can be applied in many fields. In Daqin
In the hands of the group, it is easy to create a profit of 10 to 20 million US dollars.
There are many people like Jonas and Nim who come directly to Qin Hai's room, and Qin Hai's room is almost never free. There is an endless stream of visitors. Qin Hai knows something about all fields of materials science, whether he is discussing projects with companies
Cooperation, or discussing scientific research support with scholars, he can grasp the key points.
Leader, he proposed a win-win cooperation plan. In the past few days, almost all the people who came to negotiate came out of the excitement and came back satisfied. They all praised Qin Hai for his open-mindedness and fairness in dealing with things. They didn't know that Qin Hai was also secretly thinking about it in his heart.
Happy. Because he gets far more benefits than his collaborators.
During the four-day meeting, Qin Hai was busier than anyone else. Others only attended the meeting and listened to speeches. After the meeting, they could also go shopping on the streets of Paris, while Qin Hai attended meetings during the day and negotiated with various people at his residence at night. He
The promised invitation to Gemo to drink sherry was also postponed again and again. It was not until the annual meeting was over and the scholars left one after another that Qin Hai was free and able to fulfill his promise.
"Qin, I can't remember. Have we met before?"
In an inconspicuous tavern by the Seine River, Qin Hai and Gemo sat face to face at a small table by the window, each with a glass of sherry in front of them. They were chatting happily. Gemo looked at Qin
Hai couldn't remember what kind of relationship he had with this young man. After enduring it for a long time, he finally asked directly.
Qin Hai picked up the wine glass and sipped the wine. He just smiled and did not answer. In his previous life, he had a good personal relationship with the elderly Gemo. There were several opportunities to sit and drink together in a tavern, but like this
How could he explain to Gemo about this? Since he couldn't explain clearly, it would be better to leave a suspense for Gemo to ponder.
"I'm sure this is the first time we've met, because I know nothing about you. But how do you know my nickname, and also know that I like to drink sherry without ice, among other things?
This is completely unbelievable." Gemo said, scratching his head.
Qin Haidao: "Old man Gemo, there is a word in ancient China called 'divine friendship', which means that although two people have never met, they have been spiritual friends for a long time. Between you and me, we have a spiritual friendship.
My long-time friend is well, why do we have to investigate the reason?"
"China is a mysterious place. It may not be surprising that something like this happens in China." Gemo shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that I need to go to China to see and understand this mysterious country."
A mysterious country with thousands of years of civilization and history.”
Qin Hai asked strangely: "Why, old man Gemo, have you never been to China?"
"Yes, I have never been there," Gemo replied.
At that time, China's degree of opening up to the outside world was still relatively low. Chinese people had few opportunities to go abroad, and foreigners had little opportunity to come into contact with Chinese things. They were still somewhat worried about China's politics and social environment, so going to China
There are also very few people traveling. As a famous scholar, Gemo has visited many countries around the world, but he has never been to China.
"In this case, I solemnly extend an invitation to you, please go to China and have a look. I will arrange for someone to provide you with full service." Qin Hai said seriously.
"Thank you very much for your invitation. I will definitely make time to go there. I have known for a long time that China has the Great Wall and the Summer Palace. These are places that I am very interested in, but I have never had the opportunity to visit them."
Mo said, he is a very straightforward person, he says what he thinks in his heart without any pretense of politeness.
Qin Haidao: "You can bring your wife with you. If your children are willing to go with you, I'm very welcome. You only need to pay for your own air tickets. All food and accommodation expenses in China will be covered by
I'm responsible."
"Really? That's great." Gemo laughed, "Qin, I found that you are really an outstanding businessman. I have heard many people say in the past few days that it is a very pleasant thing to work with you. Now
I feel the same way."
"Actually, I just like to make friends." Qin Hai said with a smile, "Of course, if these friends can become my business partners, I will also be very happy."
"I'm not a businessman, and I haven't done any specific research work for a long time. Why would you be interested in a useless person like me?" Gemo asked curiously.
"I don't think so." Qin Haidao, "You are a senior director of the International Society of Materials and have a great influence in the field of materials science. I also hope that after seeing the beautiful scenery of China, you will hold next year's annual meeting of materials in China.
Going to hold a meeting."
"You mean, you want to host the annual materials meeting?" Gemo keenly caught the edge in Qin Hai's words.
"If possible, we really hope to host an annual materials conference." Qin Hai said without concealment. He knew Gemo's character. There is no need to be too secretive when speaking in front of this old man. It is best to be outspoken.
strategy.
Hosting academic annual conferences is generally a loss-making business. Although participating scholars have to pay a certain amount of conference fees, these fees are not enough to compensate for the expenses of the conference. If you want to host an annual conference well, the organizer often has to pay for it for free.
Invite some big names to attend the conference. The transportation expenses, room and board expenses, etc. of these big names must be included in the conference expenses. The more people you invite, the heavier the financial burden will be on the conference organizer.
However, the benefits of hosting an annual meeting are also very obvious, especially for developing countries like China. Firstly, holding an annual meeting can play a publicity role and let the outside world understand China's scientific and technological development level; secondly, in
Holding this kind of annual academic conference locally can give more domestic scholars and students the opportunity to have close contact with foreign scholars, which is of great benefit to broadening their horizons and improving their academic standards.
During that period, China's overall scientific and technological status was still far behind the world's advanced level. Coupled with tight national funds, it was difficult to support the expenses of large-scale international conferences, so there were not many annual conferences of international societies held in China.
When Qin Hai came to Paris this time and saw the grand occasion of the annual meeting, he couldn't help but think of hosting an annual material meeting. He specially invited Gemo out for a drink, and he also had the idea of lobbying Gemo.
Otherwise, he would not have been so generous in inviting Gemo's family to travel to China.
"The International Materials Annual Conference has never been held in China. If the next or the next annual conference can be held in China, I think everyone will be interested." Gemo said, "However, before that,
, I hope to see the academic level demonstrated by Chinese scholars, and you need to prove that China’s materials community can provide enough exciting papers for the annual meeting.”
Qin Hai asked: "Are the papers submitted by our scholars at this annual meeting not enough?"
"If you are referring to the paper on iron-based superconductivity written by your fiancée Miss Ning Jing, of course I would say it is excellent. However, the performance of other Chinese scholars at this annual meeting can only be regarded as average.
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," said Gemmer.
"We wasted too much time." Qin Hai nodded and accepted Gemo's criticism. The academic tradition accumulated by Western countries over a hundred years is not so easy to surpass. Chen Zongze, Sun Yuzhi, Zhang
Although Chinese scholars like Yating are very smart and diligent, they lack a solid academic foundation. Compared with foreign scholars, the gap is still very obvious.
To give a simple example, when foreign scholars receive undergraduate education, the professors who teach them may be former Nobel Prize winners. The academic training they receive subtly is beyond the reach of Chinese scholars.
People like Chen Zongze and others have learned Western academic norms almost from scratch. It is really difficult for others to reach the level of Western academic circles in a short period of time.
The reason why Ning Ning's paper was recognized by Gemo is not because of how strong his academic foundation is, but because the discovery of iron-based superconductivity has extremely high academic value. In other words, this is what Qin Hai's golden finger means.
It worked.
"Mr. Gemo, precisely because China's materials research is still relatively backward, we need such an opportunity even more so that our young people can have access to world-class scholars. You must admit that China's young scholars are very smart.
Yes, what they lack is just experience." Qin Hai said.
"You are right." Gemo also nodded, "Okay, I will formally propose this proposal to all directors at the next board meeting. If China can provide sufficient financial support for the annual meeting,
I think there is a good chance that this proposal will be passed by the council.”
Qin Hai said without hesitation: "There is no problem with funding. My Daqin Group is willing to provide all funds for the annual meeting."
"That would be great. I look forward to meeting you again in China next year," Gemo said.
"It's settled, cheers!" Qin Hai raised his wine glass.
"Cheers!" Gemo also raised his glass and clinked it with Qin Hai.
It is enough to talk about this matter to this extent. The rest of the matter needs to be coordinated by Gemo. If necessary, the Daqin Group will also need to make some further remarks. Next, the two people brought the topic to some academic-related matters.
Regarding the issue, Gemo is a senior authority in materials science, while Qin Hai is a materials genius with two generations of memories. When talking about the development trends of materials technology, the two of them had a tacit understanding and talked with great interest.
When the conversation was going on, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and Germer's assistant Willits hurried in. As soon as he saw Germer, he walked forward in three steps and two steps at a time, and said: "
Mr. Germer, you are indeed here, and the Minister of Ecology, Mr. Henlock, sent people everywhere to look for you."
"What's the matter?" Gemo asked.
Willetts 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 dealing with marine oil pollution." (Unfinished)
