For the whole day, Hu Zhizhong was in a state of uneasiness. If there was a Weibo or something at that time, he would definitely have posted a message asking others to teach him how to make it look like it was not the first time he was negotiating with foreign businessmen. In the end, he
I have to add: "Waiting online, urgent..."
The next morning, he was even more absent-minded. When it was almost 11 o'clock, he made up an excuse, left the factory, got on the bus and went straight to People's Square. Hongze City is not that big, and he arrived at the door of Xinghai Restaurant
When he arrived, it was only 11:30, still half an hour away from the time Tian Ruzhi agreed to meet with him. He was afraid of giving the impression that he couldn't wait, so he went to a nearby newsstand, bought a newspaper, and stood on the street.
On the teeth, watching and waiting.
It wasn't until five minutes to twelve that Hu Zhizhong rolled up the newspaper, pretended to be calm, and walked to Xinghai Restaurant.
"Hello, are you Mr. Hu?"
In front of the restaurant, a woman wearing professional attire and looking capable came up to Hu Zhizhong and asked him with a smile.
"I am." Hu Zhizhong responded, "Excuse me, are you..."
"My name is Tian Ruzhi, the financial director of American Semi Electric Company, and now also the deputy general manager of Hongze Electric Machinery Factory." The woman replied.
"Oh, 1 you are Director Tian, nice to meet you." Hu Zhizhong said a little at a loss.
"I have reserved a private room inside. Mr. Hu can invite you," Tian Ruzhi said.
Hu Zhizhong also made a gesture and said: "Director Tian, please..."
The two of them entered the restaurant with humility to each other and went to the private room that Tian Ruzhi had booked in advance. Xinghai Restaurant is a high-end restaurant in Hongze City. Although Tian Ruzhi booked a four-person room, the room was very large except for the dining table.
, there are sofas and coffee tables on the side. On the wall is "Qinyuan Chun-Snow" written by a famous calligrapher in the province, which looks a bit arty.
When he walked into the private room, Hu Zhizhong found that there was already a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa waiting in the room. Seeing Hu Zhizhong come in, the middle-aged man stood up and came forward with a smile. He stretched out his hand and asked, "Yes."
Mr. Hu, I have admired your name for a long time."
"This is Mr. Zhou Linlei, our temporary chief engineer." Tian Ruzhi pointed at the middle-aged man and introduced to Hu Zhizhong.
"Oh, it turns out to be Chief Engineer Zhou... Wait, Director Tian, you just said that his name is Zhou Linlei?" Hu Zhizhong's eyes widened, he pointed at Zhou Linlei and asked Tian Ruzhi.
"Yes." Tian Ruzhi replied.
"Is it the forest of the woods, upright and aboveboard?" Hu Zhizhong asked again. There was a bit of excitement in his tone.
"Exactly, how come, Mr. Hu has heard of my name?" Zhou Linlei asked with a smile.
"Are you the same Zhou Linlei who studied electrical engineering at Bingcheng University of Technology?" Hu Zhizhong looked at Zhou Linlei and asked, the old scholar's dullness in him came back again, and he didn't care that it would be impolite to inquire like this.
Zhou Linlei nodded and said, "That was more than 30 years ago. Why, does Mr. Hu know me?"
"Oh. I don't just know you!" Hu Zhizhong stretched out his two hands, held Zhou Linlei's hand, shook it desperately, and said: "You published a paper in the Journal of Electrical Machinery and Control, called
He wrote "Permanent Magnet Motor Magnetic Field Calculation and Electric Potential Analysis" and it was very wonderful. I was a college student back then, and I was really amazed when I saw that article. I remember reading it dozens of times. It's been more than 30 years now.
I can still clearly remember the derivation formulas listed above, it’s so beautiful!”
"That was part of my master's thesis. It filled a gap at the time. It's hard for Mr. Hu to still remember it now." Zhou Linlei said with a smile, a little embarrassed and a little proud. He didn't expect Hu Zhizhong.
He was actually his fan more than 30 years ago, and he still worships her to this day.
Tian Ruzhi laughed at the side and said: "It turns out that Mr. Hu has known Mr. Zhou for a long time. What a coincidence. How about we sit down first and chat while we eat?"
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhou, please!" Hu Zhizhong said to Zhou Linlei with a respectful look.
"You're welcome, Mr. Hu, please." Zhou Linlei responded.
The three of them sat at the dining table. Tian Ruzhi called the waiter and ordered the dishes to be served. Hu Zhizhong said a little politely, and then pestered Zhou Linlei to ask questions.
"General Manager Zhou, I later read several articles you wrote, and they were very inspiring to me. However, it seems that after 75 years, I haven't seen you publish any more articles. Could it be that you have changed your career to administrative work?
?" Hu Zhizhong asked.
Zhou Linlei smiled slightly and said: "No, I have been doing research on electrical machinery. In 1975, I changed my unit and the nature of my work was somewhat special, so it was inconvenient for me to publish any more articles. I didn't expect that I would still be doing research in the local area.
Someone can remember me."
"Of course I remember." Hu Zhizhong said, "I often tell the technicians in our department that the most outstanding person in the country in terms of motor research is Mr. Zhou. It's a pity that I haven't heard from you in these years, otherwise
I've been here to ask for your advice a long time ago. Why, you are now working at Semi Company? By the way, just now Director Tian said that you are their temporary chief engineer, what's going on?"
Zhou Linlei said: "I still have a formal job now, and I came to Director Tian to help them temporarily. They want to develop rare earth permanent magnet motors, but they currently lack technical personnel who can lead them, so I just fill in the gaps and come here to make a temporary guest appearance.
.I heard that Chief Engineer Hu has been doing research on permanent magnet motors and is an authority in this field, so I came with Director Tian today to ask Chief Engineer Hu for advice."
Hu Zhizhong's face turned red, and he waved his hands and said: "General Manager Zhou is really laughing at me when he says this. Who doesn't know your achievements in motor research? In front of you, I am just a primary school student."
"General Manager Hu is too modest." Zhou Linlei said, "I heard Xiao Qin introduce it to me, saying that General Manager Hu has rich experience in the development of rare earth permanent magnet motors. Besides, I still have my own job, so it is impossible for me to work in Hongze."
I have been here for a long time, so I very much hope that Mr. Hu can take over my job and join Hongze Electric Machinery Factory."
"Xiao Qin?" Hu Zhizhong said in surprise, "You are talking about..."
"Oh, it's Comrade Qin Hai, the chairman of Daqin Group, who asked me to come to Hongze Motor Factory to help." Zhou Linlei explained.
"You mean... Hongze Electric Machinery Factory is related to Daqin Group?" A bright light seemed to flash in Hu Zhizhong's mind, and he vaguely guessed something.
Tian Ruzhi smiled and said, "I didn't say anything. We are the American Semi Company and have nothing to do with the Daqin Group."
She said it didn't matter, but the expression on her face was a bit joking, and people knew she was lying at a glance. Think of the ins and outs of Obara Corporation's acquisition of Yasuka Electric Factory, and then think of Hongze Electric Factory.
After all these actions, Hu Zhizhong suddenly understood the connection and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yes, yes, I'm confused. Isn't Director Tian the financial director of American Semi Company?"
"How about it? Can Mr. Hu consider Mr. Zhou's proposal?" Tian Ruzhi asked.
Hu Zhizhong looked at Zhou Linlei and asked: "Chief Engineer Zhou, can I ask what unit you work for now, why you came to help Hongze Electric Machinery Factory, and why you can't stay in Hongze Electric Machinery Factory for a long time?"
Zhou Linlei looked at Tian Ruzhi, and then said: "My workplace is inconvenient to tell Mr. Hu clearly. However, I came to Hongze Motor Factory to help. I was appointed by Mr. Ji. You should understand, right?"
"Is it Ji Mingchu... Ji Lao?" Hu Zhizhong asked in surprise.
Zhou Linlei nodded slightly and said nothing.
Hu Zhizhong took a long breath and said: "So that's it...Why, the production of Hongze Electric Machinery Factory...is also related to national defense construction?"
"It's good that Mr. Hu understands in his heart. It's really not convenient for us to talk too much about some things." Tian Ruzhi replied.
"I understand." Hu Zhizhong said, and then fell into silence. However, his heart was like a turmoil, and he could not calm down at all.
Before today, Hu Zhizhong’s knowledge of Semi Company was limited to the fact that it was an American company and that it had the desire to enter the rare earth permanent magnet motor market. He didn’t know how powerful Semi Company was or what it could do.
If it cannot gain a foothold in China, it may be like the Obara Company, which just played a gimmick but ultimately achieved nothing. If this is the case, Hu Zhizhong would not dare to change jobs. After all, he already has a stable job at Anhe Electric Factory.
He can stay in this position until he retires. He hastily invested in a new company with unclear details. If something happens, he will lose his job.
But just now, he got two important pieces of information one after another. One is that Saimi Company is related to Qin Hai, and he can even directly guess that this is a cover-up trick used by the Daqin Group. As for the reason, naturally
The reason is that they don’t want to publicly offend Vice Governor Wang He; secondly, the production of Hongze Electric Machinery Factory is actually related to the military, and it is directly related to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Hu Zhizhong also understands the status of the early Ming Dynasty in the central government
, can a company that Ji Mingchu personally cares about be a pheasant company that can be shot and gone?
Since there is no chance to start a career in Anhe Electric Machinery Factory, and Hongze Electric Machinery Factory has the dual support of Daqin Group and Ji Mingchu, not to mention that there are motor masters like Zhou Linlei on the battlefield, what reason do I have to reject the other party's offer?
?
"Director Tian, do you think I am still of some use?" Hu Zhizhong asked timidly to Tian Ruzhi.
Tian Ruzhi said with a smile: "What General Engineer Hu said, you are the most authoritative motor expert in the entire Anhe Province. Our boss has repeatedly asked us to ask General Engineer Hu to come out. Do you think you are of any use?"
"Could it be that the boss Director Tian was talking about is..." Hu Zhizhong did not express his guess. He believed that everyone could understand it.
Tian Ruzhi nodded solemnly and said: "You guessed it right, are you relieved now?" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
