Dawn appears, early in the morning.
After wandering in dreamland all night, the researchers of the superconducting materials project of the Long Institute of Science and Technology gradually woke up one by one.
According to modern people's living habits, as long as they are not very old scientific researchers who do not know how to use smartphones, others will generally check their phones first to avoid missing important information.
However, if you don’t look at it, you won’t know it. When you look at it, they are all going crazy.
"No! The superconducting material project has been terminated?"
"Am I right? The superconducting material project has been stopped? This is something that cannot be avoided by controllable nuclear fusion The front-end technology!”
“I just said that people can’t stay up late. No, my eyes are so tired. I actually saw that the superconducting material project was called to stop. It’s better to sleep for a while. If you can’t do that, please Take a break.”
“Will Dean Zhang’s WeChat be hacked? Otherwise, how could he send a WeChat message with such content?”
When I woke up, the project called Stop, these researchers just felt like the sky was falling and they didn’t understand what was happening?
Some people think that they may not have woken up, so they wash their faces, wake up, and then open WeChat on their mobile phones to check the group messages.
"It's over!"
"The project has really been stopped!"
For a while.
The team leaders of the superconducting material project were bombarded with calls from their respective team members, all coming to confirm the authenticity of the news.
However, the team leaders were also confused. They had just woken up and had no idea what happened last night.
Besides, the project was going well yesterday. I heard that the institute also approved several hundred million funds to advance the progress of superconducting materials. Now it is suddenly said that the project has been terminated, and everyone is confused.
Asking from one level to the next, even academicians of superconducting materials went out to inquire about the situation in person.
In the living room of Zhang Zhongchun's apartment, several old men were already furious and came to ask for an explanation.
“Bang bang bang——”
“Zhang Zhongchun opens the door!”
"Ding dong ding dong ding dong——"
"Open the door, Zhang Zhongchun!"
There was a knock on the door and the doorbell was so noisy that I was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a tea cup and thinking. Zhang Zhongchun didn't think about how to face them, so he simply stayed behind closed doors.
"Zhang Zhongchun, I know you are inside. If you don't open the door, I will break down the door!"
"Bang, bang, bang—"
"Open the door quickly!"
"Hurry up and open the door for me!"
The banging on the door became harder and harder. Zhang Zhongchun's secretary Yan Tinghao glanced at the door of the apartment, then looked at Zhang Zhongchun with a sad face and said: " There's no way Mr. Zhang can go on like this. They might really tear down our door and break in."
"I know, I'm still thinking of a reason. Let's go out and hold off for a while, don't really let them. Tear down our door." Zhang Zhongchun looked at Yan Tinghao, looking like he was being left alone.
"This...this is not good."
Yan Tinghao shrank his neck. Now he knew several academicians outside. He was famous for his hot temper. If he really took action, he would only be beaten passively.
"Then hold the door open and don't let them in. I'm thinking of a reason." Zhang Zhongchun finished speaking and took a sip of tea. His brain was working rapidly, weaving reasons.
Ever since Wang Shan and Qin Long brought low-temperature superconducting materials last night and successfully verified their superconducting properties, he has been in a compromising situation.
The superconducting material project of Longke Academy has been established for more than ten years, but the progress is extremely slow. No materials showing superconducting properties at -150 degrees Celsius have been discovered, let alone normal temperature.
But last night Wang Shan said that as long as he lent the experimental equipment to Longxing Group, they would be sure to complete a technological breakthrough within a year. Is there any reason why he should not lend it?
Let’s not talk about Wang Shan and Qin Long personally coming forward, just talking about the technological breakthrough of room temperature superconductivity, which already makes him unable to refuse.
When the experimental equipment is loaned out, the related projects will naturally be stopped. After all, you cannot develop room-temperature superconducting materials with your own hands. After all, not all materials are graphene.
The academician of superconducting materials came to question him, which attracted a crowd of academicians from the same apartment building.
Qu Cheng, a semiconductor chip academician who stared at the big bags under his eyes and his waist was slightly bent due to age, was walking to the balcony of his apartment building. He looked at the noisy academicians on the opposite floor and said in confusion: "This happened. What? It can actually make old guys like Yin Songyang and Hao Zidong so angry."
"I heard that the normal temperature superconducting material project was stopped, and now they are all making noise like it's the Chinese New Year. "Yeah." The secretary told everything he knew.
"The superconducting project has been stopped? Whose idea was it?" Qu Cheng was stunned, his eyes flashing with surprise.
Normal temperature superconducting materials have been a popular project in recent years, and people all over the world are secretly working hard to take the lead.
Stop?
How can this stop!
Hypothetically, if the United States discovers room-temperature superconducting materials and completes the technological extension, then the Dragon Kingdom will usher in an unprecedented cold winter, which is something no one wants to see.
“I don’t know, but I heard from a doctor over there that it seems to be a group announcement personally issued by the dean of their Institute of Materials Research.”
“Group announcement?”
"Yes, group announcement."
"..."
Qu Cheng was a little messy in the wind.
How can such a thing be announced in a group?
According to the formal procedures, to stop a project, you need to hold a seminar to explain the situation and obtain the consent of the group members before stopping it.
Although the process is complicated, we respect the fruits of everyone's labor.
After all, scientific researchers have invested most of their lives, and you can’t just stop at the drop of a hat. If you stop, wouldn’t their efforts for most of their lives be in vain?
Because of this, except for some projects that are really unnecessary or extremely expensive, scientific research projects will generally not be terminated, and the country is willing to spend money to bet on the future.
“Something’s wrong, something’s wrong.” Qu Cheng had already sensed something unusual.
He looked at the academicians in the apartment building opposite who were asking for explanations. He didn't want them to continue making trouble, so he simply called someone to ask and see if he could find out the cause and prescribe the right medicine.
He first found Wang Qi, the vice president of Longke Academy and the president of Beidou Chip Research Institute, to learn about the situation.
However, when Wang Qi learned of the situation, he was stunned for a few seconds, recalling what happened in the past few days. After confirming that nothing was left behind, he responded:
"No, I didn't either. I received a notice of suspension of the room temperature superconducting material project. Are you sure academicians Hao Zidong and Yin Songyang are making trouble?”
"Right across from my apartment building, they are still frantically banging on Dean Zhang's door, and no one comes out to respond." Qu Cheng nodded in response.
"This is not right. Wait a minute and I'll ask the dean what's going on."
"Be quick to avoid trouble."
"I know. . ”
Wang Qi immediately hung up the phone and dialed Qin Long’s phone number to explain what was happening in the apartment building.
Qin Long did not seem to be surprised, but replied calmly: "I know, Dean Zhang will take care of it."
"This..." Wang Qi was stunned, and his mind flashed. After a certain possibility, he said uncertainly: "Dean, it wasn't you who personally called for the stop, was it?"
"It was me and Dean Zhang's decision."
Qin Long There was no denying that he had expected this early morning scene from the moment he decided to lend out the experimental equipment.
But Wang Qi was anxious. He had no idea what was going on, so he quickly persuaded:
"It cannot be stopped. The room-temperature superconducting materials project must not be stopped. Although this project has no short-term benefits, in the long run, it is one of the most investment-effective projects. Moreover, academicians Hao Zidong and Yin Songyang have invested most of their lives. By suddenly stopping the project, wouldn’t their efforts be wasted?”
“Oh!”
Qin Long sighed, thought about it again and again, and revealed the truth: “It’s not that we want to stop. But the experimental equipment has been loaned out, and there are no conditions at all now."
"Lending?"
Wang Qi looked moved, feeling incredible, and "Myth" flashed through his mind. The classic line template spoken by Zhao Gao in the TV series.
"You are noble, you are amazing, you actually loaned out the experimental equipment!"
If Qin Long hadn't been the dean of the Academy of Dragon Science, he would have wanted to say it to his face.
"Don't ask. Anyway, the experimental equipment has been loaned out. It's up to them to make trouble if they want, but I guess Dean Zhang can handle it." Qin Long waved his hand and didn't want to say more.
"Dean, tell me the truth, to whom did you lend the equipment of the room temperature superconducting laboratory?" Wang Qi broke the casserole and asked.
“Don’t ask anymore.”
Qin Long didn't want to reveal too much.
After all, that was the result of Wang Shan’s personal guarantee and late-night visit.
"No, you have to tell who to lend it to, otherwise I will have to follow the rules and ask for an explanation for the hundreds of scientific research comrades in the superconducting laboratory!"
Wang Qi did not give in.
Although there is a big gap between the dean and the vice-dean, the vice-dean has the power to impeach and convene meetings.
And he also learned that the loan of equipment and the suspension of the project without meeting and discussion were inconsistent with the process. If we really want to dig deeper, Qin Long and Zhang Zhongchun were the parties violating the rules.
"Brother Wang, it's not necessary..."
"It's necessary!"
Qin Long still wanted to keep it a secret and tried to make Wang Qi give up through personal relationships, but But he was rejected without any room for negotiation.
In order to prevent the matter from getting bigger, Qin Long had no choice but to sigh and said in a deep voice: "It was lent to Longxing Group, and the old leader Wang Shan personally came to coordinate the equipment late at night. You can go if you want to follow the procedures. Well, I have no objection.”
Wang Qi: "..."
He regretted it.
He regretted asking so carefully.
Wang Shan personally came to coordinate the equipment late at night. The gold content of these words had overloaded his CPU. He couldn't figure out what kind of ecstasy soup Chen Xing poured into Wang Shan to actually make this old man run away in person. One trip.
The two of them stayed on the phone, but no one spoke.
After being silent for more than ten seconds, Wang Qicai reluctantly said: "You know, I am a notorious loudmouth. If I leak anything, you, the dean, will be responsible."
"I'm responsible for you. It's you who insists on finding out clearly and threatens me with incorrect procedures. If you leak it, you'll be responsible for it. It has nothing to do with me."
"You just You can't be tougher."
"Who can resist you?"
"I..."
Wang Qi was speechless and remained silent for a few seconds. He asked in a deep voice, "What should we do now? The academicians in Qu Cheng are all asking me to inquire. I can't just ignore them, right?"
"You yourself That's it, hang up." Qin Long didn't give him time to refuse and hung up the phone.
“Rubbing…”
Wang Qi said harshly. He really didn’t expect the news to be so explosive.
Now that it’s fine, he also wants to help hide it.
Just after hanging up the phone with Qin Long, Qu Cheng called again.
"Buzz buzz——"
"To answer or not to answer?"
Looking at the vibrating cell phone, Wang Qi hesitated again and again, but chose to answer.
"How's it going?"
Qu Cheng got straight to the point, and then continued: "Dean Zhang is now open to welcome guests, but the noise is very fierce."
"How about we stop meddling in their Materials Research Institute's affairs? ." Wang Qi changed his face and attitude.
Qu Cheng heard the clue and asked: "What did the dean tell you?"
"It's nothing." "It's really nothing?"
“I really didn’t say anything.”
“That’s not your attitude just now.”
“It’s normal for our Chip Research Institute not to get involved in what happened at the Materials Research Institute. , don’t you think so?”
Wang Qi’s change in attitude made Qu Cheng even more curious, and he decided to retreat as a way forward: “Since you don’t want to say it, let it go. If the situation escalates further, I will notify you. It's up to you. If someone else goes through the process and accuses you, forget it. I don't know the inside story anyway, so there's nothing I can do to resolve it." He was afraid of Qu Cheng, but also wanted to get a helper: "The dean said that the equipment was lent to Longxing Group, and it was the old leader Wang Shan who personally coordinated, so he had to stop the room temperature superconducting material project. As for the inside story, you and I am so familiar with Chen Xing. You can go and ask, and you can give me a detailed answer..."
"The weather is nice today."
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
"This old phone is really not durable. I can't even hear the other party clearly." Qu Cheng muttered to himself and quickly hung up the phone.
After confirming that he had hung up, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Old Chief Wang Shan, Longxing Group, coordinating equipment is not easy. This old boy Wang Qi still wants to trick me into coming forward. Fortunately, I reacted quickly."
After hanging up the phone, He had to re-examine the matter.
Wang Shan coordinated the equipment for Longxing Group, or the equipment of the room temperature superconducting materials laboratory. Does this mean that Longxing Group may have a corresponding experimental team?
"Could there be any results in non-temperature superconductivity?"
Qu Cheng speculated.
After thinking for a few minutes, he decided not to think about it. A project of this level was not something he could pry into, and he had no ability to change anything.
However, the news that Longxing Group has a room temperature superconducting laboratory still shocked him. He did not expect that in just three years, Longxing Group would become a giant in the field of science and technology.
“How many secrets does this boy Chen Xing hide?”
Qu Cheng murmured in his heart.
He pays attention to every press conference of Longxing Group. Even if he cannot watch the live broadcast, he will find the recording and watch it back.
The recent new energy vehicles, solid-state batteries and L3 level autonomous driving have already made him feel that there is a technological leap forward. He never expected that Longxing Group also hid a room temperature superconductor.
If room-temperature superconductivity is really realized, the Dragon Kingdom may really soar into the sky and set the world back to two thousand years ago. By then, the people of the Dragon Kingdom will be able to shout loudly...
Anyone who offends our Dragon Kingdom will be punished no matter how far away they are!
……
And on the other side.
Dragon Kingdom Deep City.
Longxing Group Bantian Base.
In Chen Xing’s apartment suite, the bedside mobile phone sounded an annoying alarm clock, signaling the arrival of a new day.
Chen Xing, wearing gray pajamas with sleepy eyes, casually pressed the alarm clock, then rubbed his eyes, turned over and said: "System, open up the talent market."
[ bite! 】
【Opened! 】
[Talent Market]: Level 8 (It costs 1.5 billion to upgrade the level. The higher the market level, the higher the quality of talents that can be recruited.)
[List of talents that can be recruited today 】
1. The blue quality has been folded.
2. Wang Xiaoxin, purple quality, one academic degree, scientific research talent, focusing on chip design, the required funds for recruitment: 7,000 yuan.
3. Blue quality has been folded
4. Wang Solin, purple quality, 211 degree scientific research talent, focusing on new energy storage technology, recruitment required funds: 7,000 yuan.
5. Chen Ping, golden quality, 985 degree, scientific research talent, focusing on the field of aerodynamics, recruitment funds required: 70,000 yuan.
"Recruit them all." Chen Xing did not hesitate and recruited them all. It has become his daily habit to recruit a group of people every day.
Close the talent market panel and his brain wakes up.
Picking up the bedside phone, Chen Xing opened WeChat to check his unread messages. Among them, Wang Shan’s message made him instantly energetic.
"Coordinate the equipment of Longke Academy?"
"The old chief is indeed an old chief, he knows how to solve urgent needs."
Chen Xing praised.
Last night he and Wang Shan didn't mention the matter of coordinating equipment at all. They were just talking about the need for experimental equipment for normal temperature superconducting materials, and asked if there was a way to get it quickly.
Wang Shan’s reply was ambiguous, saying he would try to find out more.
Afterwards, Chen Xing mentioned the collapse of Xiaoli’s financial system, and Wang Shan also made it clear that the national trading team would help.
This coordination of Longke Academy equipment was beyond Chen Xing’s expectation.
"If I had known that the old chief would help me in this way, I would have asked him to borrow a few academicians, but I still didn't think carefully." Chen Xing muttered to himself.
He did not hesitate for too long. After understanding the situation, he went to wash up, change clothes, and go to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Today may be a historic turning point for Longxing Group, because according to the reservation information, the CEOs of Longguo car companies and the CEOs of new power car manufacturing companies have been integrated by Chen Xing into today's reception .
They have the same purpose. It is too troublesome to receive them one by one. Simply hold a meeting and put forward conditions. If you can accept it, keep it, and if you can't accept it, leave it. This is not only convenient and fast, but also saves time. It can also help CEOs of other companies come to beat other CEOs.
......
At nine o'clock in the morning, foreign vehicles began to drive into the waiting area at the entrance of Sakata Base to undergo identity verification.
"BYD CEO Wang Fu is himself. No suspicious items have been found in the vehicle. Please come in."
"Jian Chunhe, CEO of Changan Group, there is no problem with the identity information, and no suspicious items were found in the vehicle. Please come in."
"Jian Chunhe, CEO of SAIC Group, is who he is, and the identity information is correct, and no suspicious items were found in the vehicle." , please come in.”
The security at the door has been notified and received a list. As long as the people on the list arrive at Longxing Bantian Base, they do not need to ask Chen Xing for permission and will pass the security check. You can enter directly.
Managers of car companies arrived one after another, and they all waited in the parking lot in tacit understanding.
"Mr. Wang, you are here too. I didn't expect it."
Jian Chunhe greeted with a smile.
Wang Fu also smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to Mr. Jian on your successful appointment. I believe that under your leadership, Changan Automobile Group can surpass past performance and double its stock and receivables."< br>
“Haha, Mr. Wang is too polite.”
Jian Chunhe couldn’t help but clasp his fists.
To be honest, he was surprised that he was able to take the position. You must know that he should retire in six or seven years. At this age, if he is not assigned a idle position, it would be good to wait until he retires.
Promotion?
Basically impossible.
But because Tang Ruiyang was taken away for investigation, he came to power inexplicably.
While the two were talking, CEOs from car companies came one after another.
To everyone’s surprise, Dong Gui, the CEO of Yadi Group, also came.
"Mr. Dong didn't expect you to come too. Is Yadi planning to exchange shotguns for cannons and electric cars for electric cars?"
Jian Chunhe teased with a smile.
Among all the car companies in Longguo, if you want to ask who is the originator of electric vehicles, it is definitely the Yadi Group.
It has been involved in electric vehicles since 2001 and has taken the lead in the industry.
Of course.
It's just an EV, not an EV.
You said Yadi Group is a car company, right?
It doesn't have a car project.
You said it is not a car company, its electric cars are far ahead...
“New energy vehicles are the general trend. Now that we have seen the trend, we cannot miss it. Besides, our Yadi Group I still have some success in motors and electronic control." Dong Gui smiled and solved the embarrassment skillfully.
As he said, although Yadi Group does not have automobile manufacturing technology, it does have technical reserves of motors and electronic controls. After all, it has been deeply involved in electric vehicles for so many years.
Now that Chen Xing has publicly stated that he is willing to provide patented technical support, anyone with a little foresight has sensed the opportunity.
Rebus once said: Standing on the wind, even a pig can take off.
Can a pig on the air outlet take off?
Coal bosses have already given the answer, as well as bosses in the real estate industry.
But it is worth mentioning that the wind will eventually stop one day. When the wind stops, many "pigs" who have not grown up and have backhands will fall back to the ground and be shattered into pieces.
"Mr. Wang."
While several car company CEOs were chatting, more and more vehicles arrived at the parking lot, and the people getting out were getting younger and younger.
Li Xiang recognized BYD CEO Wang Fu at a glance, and quickly stepped forward to say hello: "You are my idol Mr. Wang. I wonder if we can exchange business cards. I am also in the car company."
"Oh? What brand are you from?"
Wang Fu was interested.
"New energy vehicles, my company is called Li Auto. This time I came to Longxing Group just to talk about Thor batteries, so that I can mass-produce Li Auto."
Li Xiang Excitedly, he took out his business card.
Wang Fu nodded slightly and said out of politeness: "Just add me on WeChat. I was in a hurry and didn't bring my business card."
"Okay."
Li Xiang took back the business card without thinking much.
The two took out their mobile phones and added WeChat friends.
As a "newcomer to the car company", Li Xiang joined Wang Fu and then looked for the next car company CEO, hoping to expand his network of contacts.
Why are introverts not suitable for entrepreneurship?
Many introverts know that shamelessly adding senior friends and asking for contact information may be helpful to them, but they often just don’t know how to take the initiative and ultimately miss the opportunity.
Entrepreneurship not only tests vision, social skills are also very important.
As the saying goes, rely on parents at home and rely on friends when going out. Friends represent poor information. The more friends a person has, the higher his cognitive level will be. This has a certain cause and effect relationship.
Of course, if you want to make progress, you have to make friends upwards. Even if you are just fair-weather friends, if you talk too much, your cognition will increase. But if you make friends downwards, it is of little use. You can basically just accompany them. Eat, drink and have fun.
While Li Xiang was making friends everywhere, Masik, who was far away in the Magic City, also received the news, and his expression became more solemn.
"BYD, Changan, Yadi, GAC, BAIC..."
"It seems that all the car companies in Longguo have gone to Longxing Group for a meeting. This is not good news. Adjustments must be completed as soon as possible."
Originally, he was planning to hold a Tesla press conference at the end of 2015. , but I really didn’t expect that Chen Xing forcefully asked him to postpone it for two or three months.
Now we can't delay it any longer. If we delay it any longer, the "Gambling Agreement" with Magic City will never be completed, so we can only give it a final try.
