"How can this be considered unreasonable?" Gao Fan said, "Teacher Hai, we are the top scientific research institution in the country, and we are cooperating with a county-level fertilizer factory. That is called favoring.
"You don't know, I heard that professors from Peking University are coming to inspect our factory. Our factory is eager to splash clean water on the streets, pave the roads with loess, and have every household bathe and burn incense..."
"Stop it, stop it!"
Hai Qingwen felt uncomfortable all over, as if someone had thrown two dead mice into his neck. He waved his hand to interrupt Gao Fan's narration, and then said:
"Gao Fan, the base matter has been settled, but later modification of equipment and input of materials for experiments will require some funds. I remember you promised me this."
"100,000 a year, if it's not enough, we'll add more." Gao Fan did not forget his promise to Hai Qingwen.
Hai Qingwen nodded slightly, while Zhou Xiaoyun lightly clicked her tongue, somewhat hesitant to speak.
"What, Aunt Zhou, is there any problem?" Gao Fan noticed and asked Zhou Xiaoyun.
Zhou Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment and asked: "100,000 a year, and it is just payment without return. Will it be too much pressure for your labor service company?"
Gao Fan said: "It's okay, we still have the export business of cleaning agents, and the profits are pretty good."
Zhou Xiaoyun changed the subject: "Actually, what I want to say is that if we follow the idea proposed by Professor Hai, the annual funding of 100,000 yuan is probably far from enough."
Gao Fan burst into laughter: "Aunt Zhou, where are you on the ground?"
Zhou Xiaoyun also smiled sheepishly and said: "I don't take any side, I'm just seeking truth from facts. It's really difficult for a small labor service company like you to fund such a large project as coal liquefaction.
"
"It would be great to have 100,000 yuan in funding." Hai Qingwen excused Gao Fan, "We are in school, and it is almost impossible to apply for a 100,000 yuan project. With this 100,000 yuan,
We can start with some basic experiments, and at least we won't be left too far behind by foreigners."
"We can still think of ways to deal with the funding issue. If the company's income is good, it's not impossible to add more," Gao Fan said.
"Well..., Xiao Gao, you don't have to force yourself too much. The research on coal chemical industry is a bottomless pit. Zhou Gong is right. I count on the support of a labor service company like you, which is full of unemployed young people. Moreover, there is only input and no output.
It’s really inappropriate.” Hai Qingwen said somewhat insincerely.
From his heart, of course he hopes Gao Fan can provide him with more funds. But Lao Hai is also a shameless person after all. He is a dignified Peking University professor and asked a first-year undergraduate student to bring more than 200 unemployed young people to him.
Earning scientific research funds, this old face is really a bit unsatisfactory.
As everyone knows, what Gao Fan was waiting for was Hai Qingwen's words. He smiled and said: "Teacher Hai, if you really feel sorry for yourself, just spare some of your spare time and help us with some small favors. This will save you the trouble of saying that the funds we provide are only
Input, no output.”
"Help?" Hai Qingwen was stunned, hey, something seems wrong?
Gao Fan smiled innocently and said: "Actually, the main reason is that I am worried that you will feel sorry for me, Teacher Hai. You took the funds we provided, spared a little spare time, and even just asked my senior brothers and sisters to contribute a little to help us.
If the company solves some minor technical problems, this can be regarded as an exchange of equal value.
"If our company can make more money in the future, I propose to add some additional funds to the base, and the resistance in the company will be smaller. Don't you think so?"
When he said this, Zhou Xiaoyun had already understood. While Hai Qingwen was still confused, Zhou Xiaoyun glared at Gao Fan fiercely. After glaring, there was already a smile in his eyes.
He is really a child who refuses to suffer. Why didn’t he notice it when he was a child?
Hai Qingwen thought about what Gao Fan said for a while, and then filtered out the modifiers such as "a little bit", "amateur", and "little". After all, he is also a person who is about to run for the fifth grade. After many tests,
I still can’t understand the subtext in these modifiers. What “a little bit” means is clearly “hundred million points”, okay?
Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch, but that’s okay. Let’s listen to what this white-eyed student has to ask for. If the request is not too harsh, you can spare some time to help them with some work, and then ask him for money in the future.
That gives me confidence.
Thinking of this, Hai Qingwen nodded and said: "This is no problem at all. What, Xiao Gao, did you encounter any technical problems during the production process?"
Gao Fan led the two of them to a table nearby, blew away the dust accumulated on the table, then took out a few drawings from his small shoulder bag, spread them out on the table, and invited the two of them to look at them.
On the drawing paper, there are schematic diagrams of several pieces of equipment drawn by Gao Fan in pencil, with rough dimensions also marked. Hai Qingwen and Zhou Xiaoyun are both experts in chemical industry, and they can tell at a glance that these pieces of equipment consist of several tanks.
, an evaporator and a centrifuge. As for what chemical product process they are used in, I can’t tell.
"Our company plans to install a set of vitamin C production equipment. The initial consideration is to produce 5,000 tons per year. These are several key equipments in this equipment."
"A vitamin device with an annual output of 5,000 tons?" Hai Qingwen stared, "Xiao Gao, do you know how much money it costs to build such a device?"
Gao Fan shook his head. In fact, he remembered some investment data about vitamin C equipment. Although it was a quotation from later generations, based on the price level, he could estimate the investment required to build such a equipment today.
However, he planned to listen to the data Hai Qingwen said first so that he could compare it with his own judgment.
"The Northern Pharmaceutical Factory in Qidong installed a 2,000-ton device two years ago, which cost more than 100 million. I went to see them, and they said that if they want to install a 5,000-ton device, the investment will be more than twice as much, 4
Yidu can't stop it," Hai Qingwen said.
There is a serious shortage of high-end talents in China nowadays. Although Hai Qingwen’s research direction is coal chemical industry, he is often invited to participate in the research or review of chemical projects in other fields. In fact, the chemical processes in different fields have similarities, and even many equipments are similar.
Can be used universally.
"Four hundred million is a bit exaggerated." Gao Fan shook his head, "I have seen the equipment in the Northern Pharmaceutical Factory in journals. It was imported from abroad and used the Rysch process. My equipment,
We plan to use the two-step method invented in our country. The process is simpler, the equipment requirements can be greatly reduced, and it will definitely not cost so much money."
