Chapter 406: East Asian shrewdness

After the laboratory safety test, Xu Qiu, Sun Wo and Mo Wenlin returned directly to Caiyi, and all three passed the test.
Later, they learned that three of the 100 questions in this test were wrong.
Xu Qiu's actual score is 99 points.
But for Xu Qiu, whether it is 98 or 99, it is not very important. Anyway, it is passed.
As for how these wrong questions were discovered, it was because seven students failed the exam.
Among them, there are the unlucky ones who were directly deducted to 0 points, and some students who came directly to the naked exam probably did not review them well. They made more than a dozen questions wrong and scored less than 90 points.
Because failing the exam will affect the subsequent experiment arrangements, they naturally refuse to accept the fact that they have not passed the exam.
So they analyzed the wrong questions one by one, and finally found that there were problems with three questions.
Among them, two have no correct answers, and one has wrong answers. C should have been chosen. The questionnaire star system is processed according to B.
After recalculating the scores, two of them successfully landed ashore with scores of 88 and 89, and got a pass score of 90 or more.
Sunday.
Not long after Xu Qiu arrived at 216, Wei Xingsi was summoned to the office.
Wei Xingsi said straightforwardly: "There are a few things. First, Ronald worked with us before and voted for an article. The article was voted on ACSAMI. Xu Qiu, you are the second one..."
Xu Qiu was still a little confused when he heard the news, and then recalled it carefully.
It seems that when Ronald came to visit in the summer, the other party brought some ITIC-related device samples back.
Later, they sent an email asking for "fresh" samples, and Xu Qiu asked Mo Wenlin to do some mailing.
During this period, Xu Qiu also emailed a few times with Ronald himself and a postdoctoral fellow under Ronald.
It's unintentional, but I didn't expect to find a second article.
To Xu Qiu now, an ACSAMI in the field of materials is nothing.
But for some fields, it is more difficult to post articles. ACSAMI is already a very good article.
Just like the two characterization methods of CEILV and TOF that Ronald mainly studies, they are only used in the semiconductor field, and it is more difficult to publish high-impact articles.
But can you say that these less widely used instruments are not important?
Obviously not.
In fact, the domestic research on various precision instruments and equipment is very, very, very backward, and cannot match the current status of the second largest economy.
Among them, the reason for the large proportion may be that the policy of "buying is worse than manufacturing" back then directly guided a wrong direction.
A sentence from the former vice minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Flower Planter expressed the helplessness of the domestic scientific and technological circles: "The craze for flower growers to purchase scientific research equipment has saved many foreign companies!"
Not long ago, a nuclear magnetic resonance instrument in the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Center of Qingbei University failed, and they contacted the German company Bruker for repairs.
When Brooke Company spoke, it said that it would pay 230,000 yuan in labor costs first, and then they would prepare liquid helium to see if it could be repaired.
In other words, if it fails, the money will be spent.
When did Qingbei University, the highest institution of dignified flower growers, experience this kind of anger?
The center angrily terminated the cooperation between the two parties.
This incident alarmed dozens of professors in China.
But this struggle is destined to be futile, because almost no domestic manufacturer can produce this kind of nuclear magnetic resonance instrument, or almost two words can be removed.
This situation has existed for many years.
As early as 2010, flower growers replaced the beautiful country and became the world's largest manufacturing country.
However, in recent years, the reliance of florists on foreign high-end instruments has not decreased, but has continued to rise.
Statistics show that my country imports nearly 100 billion U.S. dollars of equipment each year, second only to petroleum and semiconductors.
Among them, 90% of high-end instruments are monopolized by foreign companies.
Take nuclear magnetic resonance instrument as an example. Only a few companies such as Deutsche Bruker can provide it in the world.
It is this German company with an annual revenue of only US$2 billion, which monopolizes more than 80% of the domestic market, and squeezes Qingbei University to death.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Cryo-electron microscopy is an important tool for studying protein structure. Only the beautiful country FEI, Neon International Electronics, and Hitachi can produce it in the world, and even the knock-off version cannot be produced in China.
The slightly lower-end scanning electron microscope has a domestic share of less than 10%.
Mass spectrometers are used to measure the quality of microscopic particles. At present, they basically rely on imports. The high-end liquid-mass spectrometry technology comes from manufacturers such as Agilent and Thermo Fisher.
Because domestic production is not possible, the annual investment in fixed assets of trillions of scientific research by flower growers is 60% for imported equipment.
In addition to laboratories, in hospitals, including CT, nuclear magnetic resonance, and large X-ray machines, they are almost monopolized by the three companies commonly known as GPS, GE (General Electric), Philips, and Siemens.
A few years ago, a reporter from the People's Daily visited hundreds of companies and found that the production lines and R&D centers there were almost reduced to a feast of "foreign equipment".
"Made in China is in Western shopping malls, Germany and Japan are manufactured in Chinese factories, and American manufacturing is in Chinese laboratories."
Such ridicule is somewhat embarrassing.
In 2009, Peking University conducted a survey, and the conclusion was: "In the past 20 years, the gap between my country's scientific instruments and developed countries has not narrowed, but gradually widened."
Fortunately, the country has realized this problem. The Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Natural Science Foundation of China have set up major projects to increase investment, and many instrument companies are also emerging.
In 2006, Beijing East-West Analytical Instrument Co., Ltd. independently developed the first mass spectrometer, which blew the Chinese scientific instrument’s high-end Charge.
BGI, who was stuck by Illumina, also knew its shame and courageously. Through self-research and acquisition of overseas technology, it became one of the three companies in the world that can mass-produce clinical-grade gene sequencers.
Mordor United Medical also launched the first ultra-high field animal magnetic resonance system of the flower grower, breaking the 30-year monopoly of GPS.
Nevertheless, in terms of high-end instruments, the country has a long, long way to go.
On the other hand, Ronald is 50+ years old and is still active in the front line of scientific research, doing experiments by himself. In China, professors at Ronald's age rarely do experiments by themselves.
For example, Wei Xingsi, after returning to China, only taught various experimental skills to Wu Feifei, Chen Wanqing, Duan Yun and Tian Qing at the very beginning, and then he directed behind the scenes instead of conducting experiments in person.
Most of the harder ones are young green pepper scholars, because there are provisions like "promote or leave".
A horizontal comparison of practitioners in scientific research circles, especially head scientific researchers, gave Xu Qiu the subjective feeling:
Foreigners are relatively more enthusiastic about scientific research, and more of them treat scientific research as a career, while domestic scientific research workers treat scientific research as a relatively stable "iron rice bowl" job.
One is a career and the other is a job. Different positioning means different energy input.
"Career" is similar to being your own boss, and "work" is equivalent to working for other people.
When you are a boss, you may focus on the long-term development of the company and work for other people. Most of them just think about how to make more money, ideals and ambitions, which are all drawn.
For example, if Qiandu is now being beaten by everyone, the founder must be blamed, but is this situation really what the founder wants to see? Actually not necessarily.
When a company swells to a certain size, it may be difficult for the founder to actually control the entire company.
On the one hand, it is the alienating effect of capital on people, which makes people chase excessive returns excessively.
On the other hand, the people in charge of specific affairs are all middle-level employees. If the middle-level employees are united, they can ignore the high-level orders and take advantage of them. In this way, the orders given by the high-level will be difficult to pass to the bottom and be executed.
Moreover, this kind of problem is also difficult to solve. It is impossible for you to change all the middle level, even if you change to a new one, can you guarantee that he/she will not be assimilated?
As for why the middle-level people do this, the reason is also very simple. They are not in the same class as the boss and high-level people.
For large companies, the bosses and senior executives have usually achieved financial freedom. They may fight for their ideals and become "entrepreneurs" who benefit society; and middle-level employees don’t care how big your pie is. For them, the benefits in their hands are real.
In the case of bidding advertisements, the bosses and senior executives put forward this idea. There is a high probability that the company will not want the company to receive some bad-quality advertisements to make bad money. They just delineate KPIs and let the middle-level employees below to carry out the implementation. .
The thoughts of middle-level employees may be: "Let’s receive bidding advertisements for XX Medical and XX Andrology together, so that we can create tens of millions or hundreds of millions of revenue for the company. We earn tens or millions of dollars a year. , And then work for a few years to save enough money, and when financial freedom is achieved, I will retire and enjoy my life. As for if things are revealed later, will it be cold at a thousand degrees? What does it have to do with us? We will not go to Qiandu to search for a hospital, and it is completely legal and compliant to do so. At most, others will condemn it morally, which is not painful."
Then they did that. UU reading www.uukanshu. cm
The scientific research circle is similar. In the real society, how many people in China really struggle for scientific research itself.
In the last century, when the Internet was not so developed, it might be possible to induce some people to focus on scientific research through flicking, ideological reforms, or other methods. Now many people have become the mainstays of all walks of life.
Now, when the entire society is guided by "money first", young people have been exposed to this feasting world through the Internet since they were young, mature early, and are not so easy to be fooled and ideologically transformed. How many people in the scientific research circle can guarantee their original intentions It.
Perhaps there is also a decent and stable job for that kind of people.
According to the grapevine, the average IQ of East Asians is very high, ranking first in the world with Jews, reaching 106, while the average IQ of beautiful countries is only 90.
To a certain extent, many domestic scientific researchers are really "pretty", the kind of shrewdness that belongs exclusively to East Asians.
