Chapter 82: In one word

Zheng Xiangqing was really trustworthy, and when he returned to Wenzhou, he gave Tan Zhenhua and Liu Mei 20,000 yuan each.
Tan Zhenhua is okay. After all, in his previous life, he was also an expert with state subsidies, and his monthly salary is more than that. But Liu Mei is a little bit unbearable. Although she is now the director of the factory, and she pays tens of thousands of dollars every month, but the 20,000 is for her own money, it is completely different. Although I heard that Zheng Xiangqing had made a lot of money this time when he settled the accounts before, it was only a figure on the account after all. Now it is a real huge sum of money in her hands. She and Pan Shuisheng worked hard. She hasn't saved so much money in her whole life, she was shaking with one hand holding the remittance notice.
It was because Tan Zhenhua comforted her for a long time, saying that this money was not money from a bad source. Besides, it was not income. It was only for the travel expenses for future development of new products. Liu Mei was relieved.
That person has to ask, since Liu Mei is the director of the magnetic material factory, why not spend the research and development expenses of this new material from the factory?
Just kidding, this rare-earth permanent magnet material is Tan Zhenhua's heart. He is so kind to give it to the magnetic material factory? Besides, with such a large amount of R&D investment, based on the current situation of the magnetic material factory, it is impossible to say anything. And even if you can get the money, even if the sign of "reopening pilot units" is hung at the entrance of the factory, it will definitely fail in the office. Which leader dares to bear the responsibility for this development failure? This magnetic material is not the main business of the institute.
Therefore, this matter can only be done by Tan Zhenhua himself.
On the second day after receiving Zheng Xiangqing's remittance, Liu Mei received a telegram from Lu University with only four words: "Come to interview."
Let us go back a few days.
After a few hours of hard work, Li Wei boarded the return train. Fortunately, Tainan City is located between Ningdu and Beijing. This railway line is the main artery connecting China's north and south. There are still relatively many trains. So Li Wei bought the return ticket without much effort, but there is no need to think about the sleeper. Even if there is, even if he has the qualifications of a student half vote, he will not bear it.
His home is in the mountainous area in the central part of Ludong Province. Both parents are farmers with their faces on the loess soil and their backs to the sky. They finally cultivated a college student who jumped out of the farm and eats national food in the future. It can be said that Li Wei spends now Every cent of his money is soaked in the sweat of his parents.
He knows that these are hard to come by, so he is very demanding of himself. He does not want to waste time to live up to his parents' expectations, and he does not want to waste money. It is the blood and sweat of his parents. Fortunately, he is still young. Fortunately, this is a direct train. This section of the road lasts about a dozen hours. It will pass after a long time. He is still young and can survive.
After one night and half a day, Li Wei finally returned to Tainan. Even if he was young and could bear it, he felt a little tired. However, when he returned to the familiar campus, he didn't go back to the dormitory to make up his sleep, but went straight to Professor Guo's office.
Professor Guo Yicheng is already 70 this year, and he should have retired long ago at his age, but he has been fighting on the front line of scientific research and teaching. According to his own words, he wants to recover the lost ten years. At this moment, he was looking at Li Wei in surprise, his most optimistic and proud student of this year.
Li Wei didn’t know why. He suddenly applied for leave a few days ago and disappeared without a trace, which made him worry for several days. Now that he comes back, he plans to ask him what’s going on. I was worried about what happened to Li Wei's family and delayed his studies.
At this time, Li Wei’s clothes were disheveled and his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. When he saw Professor Guo, he didn’t say much. He directly took out the letter paper written by Tan Zhenhua’s mysterious secret, handed it to Professor Guo, and said: "I am For this leave."
Professor Guo took the letter paper and looked up. The three characters "NdFeB" on it immediately made him gasp. He was frightened and asked quickly: "Student Xiao Li, don't worry, sit first. Drink your saliva slowly. I think you have a hard time running along the way. Since people have returned, there is no need to rush for a while, wait for you to come back and talk to me."
There was a warm current in Li Wei's heart. Professor Guo is highly respected in academia. He is considered to be Li Wei’s grandfather at his age, but he doesn’t put any airs on young students like him. When he sees these three words, he feels scared when he sees them. Professor Guo’s shock may not be smaller than his own, but he can put it aside first and care about his own body first. This is a model of being a teacher.
At the moment, he just sat down on the opposite side according to what Professor Guo said, and poured a few sips of water into the big tea jar that the professor brought over, calmed his mind, and then spoke, starting from how he met Liu Mei. Speaking of, I have been talking about the conditions set by Tan Zhenhua, especially Tan Zhenhua's remarks about "NdFeB" and iron-based permanent magnet materials, even the 100,000 people who Tan Zhenhua said at the end. There is no secret of the reward.
To say that this Li Wei has good grades, the teachers should like it, because of his unforgettable ability, few people can match it, and his character is also the best choice.
After hearing these words, Professor Guo was silent for a long time. Although his face was still calm, his heart was full of stormy waves.
With his more than 50 years of experience in magnetism, the three characters on this note are very possible, and from the point of view of his inner desires, he also very much hopes that all of these are true. If it is true, it is definitely one of the greatest discoveries in the history of science, which can bring earth-shaking changes to the scientific undertakings of the country and even the entire human race!
However, according to Li Wei's statement, this note was obtained from a student who was under 18 years old and was still in the third year of high school. This is wicked. Where did the child know it? How did you know? Is there any basis? If he believes Lao Guo recklessly, and finally proves that all this is just a naughty joke, wouldn't his Lao Guo become the laughing stock of the entire magnetic field, and put his fame to nothing?
After all, Professor Guo has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but his face is still indifferent. He said to Li Wei: "This matter is of great importance. Don't say anything first. I have to think about it. The department and school must communicate and discuss before making a decision. You have been working hard these days, so go back and rest first, and I will reply to you as soon as possible.
Professor Guo did not make up his mind after thinking about it for a few days. So a discussion meeting with related teachers of the department was held. He is the dean of the department and of course has this right.
Sure enough, the opinions at the meeting were divided into two completely different groups. One group advocated that the topic of "Samarium Cobalt Permanent Magnets" should be carried out steadily. After all, the research direction of this topic is relatively mature, and it is also a stage of obtaining state funding. There are a lot of sexual results, and the guy who is big enough has written a few excellent papers. Of course, the boy Tan Zhenhua who came out of nowhere is also the target of the attack. Just kidding, Huangkouruzi, just a few words of flicker, we have to These highly respected professors helped him conduct experiments, and there was no way!
The other faction’s view is more radical. They feel that the research on "Samarium Cobalt Permanent Magnets" has been conducted in China for more than 20 years, and the relevant results have been quite abundant, and no further research can produce any flowers. Moreover, both samarium and cobalt are extremely rare elements, which are too expensive, so the price is the fundamental reason that limits their large-scale application. And if this "neodymium iron boron" can really be achieved, let alone the price reduction brought about by reducing the amount of rare metals, it is worth a try. Besides, they agreed to pay for scientific research. You don't care how old he is, but they agreed to pay first. Maybe they have overseas relations, but what is money in the family? The big deal, promise him first, not to scatter eagles if you don't see rabbits.
The two factions insisted on each other's arguments, arguing with each other endlessly, and Guo Yicheng had a splitting headache, but it was a pity that no one could convince anyone.
Mobilizing the masses still fails to solve the problem, so there is only one trick left.
Which trick?
If you have difficulties, find a leader!
Leaders can become leaders because they are more capable of solving problems. Thinking of this, Professor Guo dropped a room of arguing teachers and went straight to the office of the deputy principal in charge of the department.
When Professor Guo finished talking about the situation with Vice President Wang in charge, Vice President Wang first thought about it for a while, and then said: "Old Guo, let me ask you a question first. According to your experience, you can talk about this. Tan Zhenhua’s child proposed the direction of "NdFeB" materials. Is it possible to succeed?
After thinking about it, Professor Guo replied: "It is possible, and the possibility is quite large. From the analysis of the element table, neodymium and samarium belong to the cerium group of light rare earths, and their physical and chemical properties are similar. Of course, the content and acquisition of neodymium are higher than that of samarium. It is much higher and easier; in terms of intermediate medium, although cobalt-based has many advantages, it is expensive, iron-based is much cheaper, and it is a traditional permanent magnetic material medium; and it has added boron, which is a non-metal Elements, but they can play an important role in the formation of tetragonal intermetallic compounds, so I think there is a lot of chance of success."
Vice President Wang said:
I have also seen in recent issues of foreign academic journals that several countries are conducting research on iron-based permanent magnet materials, and some have made some progress. This also verifies the child’s statement from the side. There is some truth to this. Our country is lagging behind in this respect, but now that everyone has not achieved decisive results, there is still time to catch up."
As soon as Professor Guo heard this, Vice President Wang’s opinions were inclined. He was about to speak out his doubts, but was stopped by Vice President Wang waved his hand and said:
I don’t know what Elder Guo is still hesitating? Scientific exploration In the first place, you need to have the courage and perseverance to be able to bear the failure. Now someone gives directions and is willing to pay for it. You still don’t do it. If you change to another school, you may be able to break your head!
Besides, Mr. Guo, you know how difficult it is to apply for scientific research funding from the state, and you are still doing basic research in materials, so it is even more difficult! What are you doing in charge of people's age? Maybe they are a genius child prodigy? Three hundred thousand Chinese coins may not be a big deal, but they also promised one hundred thousand dollars! That's US dollars. My professor Guo Da, tell me how much of the equipment in your laboratory can be bought in US dollars. Is it enough to rely on the indicators given by the state every year? "
Guo Yicheng was dizzy by Vice-President Wang’s arrogance and a small abacus, but the leadership's meaning is clearly here, this single job must be taken! Okay, now that the leader has already decided, he will follow suit, but he has another worry to resolve, so he asks: "Then what if the internal opinions of this research group are not unified?"
Vice President Wang curled his lips, "I said Professor Guo Da, what's wrong with you today, and you have to ask me for such a simple matter, what are you afraid of if your opinions are not unified? If you split it up, you will be divided into two research groups. What a simple thing."
Guo Yicheng patted his forehead: "I'm making them confused just now." After that, he turned and went out.
As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Vice President Wang. "I heard you just said that you, an undergraduate student, took this matter back?"
"Yes, his name is Li Wei, his grades have always been top in the class, and his hands-on skills are also good. He will graduate next year and is now helping with experiments in the research group."
"That's it, Mr. Guo, would you like to recruit him as a graduate student?"
"That is definitely willing, but I heard that his family conditions are not very good, and he wants to go out to work early to make money to support his family."
"Oh, I said Mr. Guo, your old man is considered to be highly respected in academia, but his sophistication is almost meaningless. This classmate Xiao Li, since his grades are good, he is a promising candidate, how can he easily let go of this kind of talent? What's more, if you can still get the project and funding for our school, then you can't let him go easily. You said that his family has difficulties and wants to work to make money. Why is it difficult? Lao Guo, just tell him, as long as he is willing To study your graduate student, you will be exempted from the exam, and you will be admitted directly. In addition to the graduate subsidy, the school will give him a scholarship of 20 yuan a month. You must leave this person with me!"
Still have money for graduate students? It really is. In the 1980s, countries that studied for master's degree not only exempted tuition fees, but also gave a subsidy of 27 yuan a month. If the school can really provide Li Wei with a scholarship of 20 yuan a month, it would be a high-income class. . Just kidding, haven't I seen Tan Zhenhua's mother who has been working for more than 20 years, and the salary is only 43 yuan a month?
Vice President Wang’s abacus is a fine one, with an additional scholarship of 20 yuan per month. After three years of postgraduate work, it only spent 720 more. But a big project worth 500,000 was locked up in one go, and there was still US dollars. Take, this sale is a big profit!
But for Li Wei, that was totally great news, so when he heard the news, he was happily confused. This is a pie in the sky! It is appropriate to become the CEO to win Bai Fume's rhythm to the pinnacle of his life. Therefore, when Professor Guo asked him to bring a message to Tan Zhenhua, he rushed to the post office at a speed of 100 meters.
