Of course Ding Huaizhong knew what Liu Lang was thinking. This kind of AOD electric stove has been widely used in the United States, but this technology is still included in the prohibited export list, especially to developing countries, which are very strict and are absolutely prohibited from exporting.
.
"Haha, Liu Lang, did you know? This kind of electric furnace used for smelting stainless steel is a Level 5 embargoed goods in the United States, especially in developing countries, the control is even stricter and it is difficult to allow it to leave the customs!"
Ding Huaizhong said with a smile.
"Oh! That's right! I don't know about this yet. Our laboratory just needs one. It won't be so strict, right?"
Liu Lang scratched his head and pretended to say.
"Nonsense, of course I know it is prohibited goods, otherwise I wouldn't have to look for you!"
Liu Lang secretly said.
"There is no way. The United States is like this. It leads the world in high technology, but at the same time it holds back some basic industrial technologies and refuses to show them to others, for fear that others will learn from them... But, I have a way!"
Ding Huaizhong smiled slightly.
"Oh? What can I do?"
Liu Lang's eyes lit up, this was what he wanted.
"It's very simple. The U.S. government is very strict on the export of industrial technology, but in the scientific and technological world, there are not so many restrictions. For example, the Sao Paulo Cultural Federation, their purpose is to promote the development of world science and technology, and this federation itself also has influence around the world.
There are many scientific and technological projects, such as helping some backward universities to establish laboratories, etc. You just said that Huaxia University has set up a laboratory. Doesn’t this meet their standards?
So you can take this as an opportunity to apply to the Sao Paulo Cultural Federation and ask them to provide some experimental equipment. Of course, these equipment cannot be used for industrial production and can only be used in laboratories."
"Yes!"
Liu Lang listened to Lao Gao and said, this method is great.
"Professor Na Ding, how do we apply?"
Liu Lang asked.
"Well, the application procedures through the association are very strict. The members of this association are well-known people in the United States and even around the world. These people are professors from famous universities. Generally, they will not know about universities in less developed countries.
situation, so generally a member has to make a recommendation. Successful recommendation is only the first step, and then some members of the federation will vote and screen. After all, there are many projects every year. After the quota is finally determined, you will enter.
Substantive stage.
At this time, the federation will send some relevant experts to inspect the university. If the federation's standards are met, it will be truly determined. At that time, they will carry out technical and equipment inspections of the university in accordance with the requirements of the agreement.
I got support from God.”
Professor Ding briefly explained the process.
"Then...Professor Ding, we know nothing about this association, who will be our introducer?"
Liu Lang asked again.
"Haha, this is easy to do! I am a member of the Federation and am qualified to be a recommender. Of course, this requires the consent of Huaxia University!"
Ding Huaizhong replied.
"I agree, I agree now!"
Liu Lang laughed after hearing this and said for a long time that Ding Huai was a member of the Federation, so there would be no problem with this first step.
"Liu Lang, don't be too happy. This review process is very strict. There can be no problems in every procedure. Moreover, some professors have very weird tempers. It is not easy to convince them. This requires you to step forward.
"
"Should I come forward? I don't know anyone!"
Liu Lang was a little confused.
"Of course you don't know them, but now, they all know you. Winning three championships at the age of four is enough to attract the attention of those scientists, and you are still a college student at Huaxia University...
...A four-year-old college student, haha, it makes people excited just thinking about it. The purpose of this federation is to cultivate outstanding talents in all aspects and promote the development of world science and technology. The abilities you have now are enough for them to focus on cultivating you, so
If you take part in this matter, it will make the project more likely."
Ding Huaizhong gave his reasons.
"That's it! There's no problem, so what do we need to do now?"
"At this stage, you need to ask Huaxia University to apply. In the application, you must list the required technology and equipment in detail and submit it to the federation. Leave this application to me and I will forward it to the federation. Well, I will try
Let’s find another recommender. After all, the more recommenders there are, the more attention the federation will pay to it.
After accepting the application, it will be discussed at an internal meeting. Once approved, an expert team will be sent to inspect... But you must prepare in advance, especially in terms of cost. After all, once approved, equipment will be introduced, and these are not provided free of charge.
Yes, you need to spend money to buy it, and it must be in US dollars."
"Money is not a problem, we will find a way. By the way, Professor Ding, I would like to ask, is Wan An, the president of Wan'an Company, a member of this association?"
"Wan'an, of course he is a member of the federation! Tai also sponsored him for this quiz competition!"
The other party nodded.
"Then is he also qualified to be a recommender?"
"No problem! And he is a rich man. He donates to the federation every year. He can participate in internal meetings and discussions. His rights are much higher than those of ordinary members. What? Do you know him?"
"Well, I have some contacts with Wan An. I will talk to him about this matter. There shouldn't be any problems!"
Liu Lang nodded.
"What? Do you still have a relationship with Wan An? Haha, it seems that you came to the United States not just to participate in the Olympic Games!"
Ding Huaizhong is also a smart man. When Liu Lang proposed to buy an electric stove, he was aware of the other party's purpose. If China wants to develop, of course it cannot rely on itself. It can only introduce advanced foreign technology first, and then after digestion, it can become its own.
The United States has the most advanced technology in the world. However, the United States is still very wary of China and will not easily bring out the best technology. It has set many restrictions in many technical aspects.
If technology is introduced through normal channels, take this kind of electric furnace for smelting stainless steel, for example. If the Chinese government comes forward to propose the introduction to the U.S. government, even if it succeeds in the end, the Chinese government will pay more, such as a 500-kilowatt electric furnace.
It's 30,000 U.S. dollars. If it were imported from the official government, the price would be too high. I'm afraid it would be more than 100,000 U.S. dollars, and it would also take longer to review. One year might not even be enough.
Because of this, Ding Huaizhong proposed to support Huaxia University in the name of the Cultural Federation. This would avoid the government, and at least the speed would be greatly improved.
Of course, the Cultural Federation also has many restrictions. For example, the equipment provided cannot be used for large-scale industrial production and can only be used for experiments. In addition, not all technologies can be exported. For example, technologies with higher technological content are still available in the United States.
It will be regulated, but stainless steel smelting, a technology that is completely common in the United States, still doesn't have many problems.
