Chapter 781 Ready to start being a mentor!
Although Bai Lid couldn't find any logical loopholes in Zhou Ruifu's analysis, he still felt that something was not right.
"Mr. Brigadier General."
The latter rubbed his hands a little restlessly:
"Although the author of the article you mentioned is Chinese, Jane's Defense After all, weekly magazines are relatively influential media..."
At the end of the 1990s, Jane's Defense had not yet become completely entertainment-oriented, and the content was still somewhat in-depth.
Military, political and business people in many countries subscribe to it and even post comments on it.
However, Zhou Ruifu waved his hand:
"If it is in Europe or the United States, then your statement may be correct, but in China, or in the entire East Asia, Jane's The defense content is actually nothing interesting."
Then he opened the drawer, took out a newspaper and a magazine, and placed them on the desk.
There were many pencil marks on the newspaper, which had obviously been carefully read.
"On the contrary, this newspaper and of course the accompanying publications are not very famous, but I asked someone to check the background and found that it was actually founded by a Chinese military industry company about ten years ago. , and we still maintain financial exchanges to this day."
Zhou Ruifu said, reaching out and tapping lightly on the newspaper:
"So, it can be published here. The articles must be inextricably linked to the financial backers behind them!”
No one could have imagined that an article written by a small person based solely on his imagination in order to complete KPIs would end up like this. Indirectly and directly affects international politics.
In fact, he is completely judging others by himself.
In the late 1980s, in order to satisfy the people's growing curiosity about military equipment, and of course to generate income during the trough of the military industry, major military industry corporations did register a number of literary publications .
Some even established their own publishing houses.
But the good times did not last long. Because the operation methods of the old state-owned enterprises were not flexible enough, and the content was more professional but not interesting enough, these newspapers and magazines quickly changed from blood transfusion kits to bloodletting troughs. Unable to provide income, but often unable to make ends meet.
Therefore, by the second half of the 1990s, most of them were entrusted to individuals or professional publishing organizations on a contract basis.
In other words, the original name is retained, but in fact it has little to do with the military industrial unit behind it.
Correspondingly, the content quality of publications has also begun to decline.
Later, the five major head offices were split into groups, so it didn’t matter anymore.
But in the view of Zhou Ruifu, a senior US military officer, isn't this a proper script of "military-industrial complex sponsoring media and lobbying groups"?
You also said you have no background?
Baili De had not stayed in China as long as Zhou Rui, so when he heard what the latter said, he no longer had any doubts.
So, they reported this conjecture of "AL31F improvement theory" as the conclusion of open source intelligence analysis.
Originally, this kind of report is just a routine matter. In addition, Zhou Ruifu and Bradbury were both professional soldiers who started their career halfway. They have neither diplomacy nor intelligence training.
Moreover, in the post-Cold War era, military technical intelligence is not something that requires particularly high timeliness. As long as we wait a little longer, more professional intelligence agencies will submit analytical conclusions with higher credibility. .
So usually, no one takes it seriously.
But this time, the analysis that the two copied directly happened to be stuck at a strange point in time.
So much so that a little-known essay compiled by a little-known author in order to complete KPIs eventually changed the entire world's aviation industry structure...

Of course, for Chang Haonan, the decision to facilitate the negotiations had just been made, and the negotiating team had not even started, so there was no follow-up at all.
After the meeting, we went back to school as usual.
For him, the most important thing right now is...
enrollment.
This enrollment involves two aspects.
First, after the National Day, until early November, graduate students choose their tutors.
Second, at roughly the same time, students who have obtained postgraduate exemption qualifications must confirm their supervisor——
The work of recommending and exempting graduate students actually started very early, but these days there is no Xuexin.com and no online files, so the progress in all aspects will be slower than before Chang Haonan traveled through.
Of course, since most schools’ recommendation interviews are just a formality, and the final ranking is basically the grade point average ranking, so as early as the end of the second semester of their junior year, some students who think they have hope I will start contacting the instructor.
Just like Chang Haonan himself did back then (although he was actively contacted by his mentor).
However, not everyone will do this. Some students who want to be exempted from studying for postgraduate studies at other schools have no basis for this. Teachers from other schools cannot determine their professional rankings based on just a transcript.
And the contact at this time, no matter what the outcome, can only be regarded as a personal agreement between teacher and student.
In principle, both sides can pigeon.
The mentor candidates will not be finalized in the form of files until November.
So after the results of the exemption are announced in October, there will be a peak period for contacting tutors——
In other words, when students taking postgraduate entrance examinations choose tutors in March next year , in fact, tutors have been snatched up twice by our school and other schools.
What's left of this time...
Ahem.
Normally speaking, young teachers who have just been promoted to master's degree/doctoral degree supervisor can usually only wait until the next year.
But Chang Haonan’s situation is not normal after all.
Even if you only look at the public part of his profile, you can realize from the densely packed topics and projects that this teacher is anything but simple.
On the other hand, such a young full professor is a golden brand in his own right...
"Professor Chang, these are the letters from students that the laboratory has received in the past period. I sorted them out and they are all here. . ”
After officially joining the job, Chang Haonan finally felt that there was a shortage of manpower. Finally, under the strong suggestion of teacher Yang Huimei, she recruited Liu Chenchen, a counselor who had just graduated from her.
It’s just that he is not in the Torch Group, but as the administrative secretary of the entire laboratory.
“Put it on my desk first.”
Chang Haonan was checking his mailbox on the computer at this time. He reached out and pointed to the side, indicating to the other party to put the letter aside.
"Okay."
Liu Chenchen put a large pile of envelopes away, and then left Chang Haonan's office with brisk steps.
I didn’t forget to close the door before leaving.
Chang Haonan took out a letter opener from the pen holder and began to open the letters.
Compared with later generations, the usage rate of email during this period was not high.
Chang Haonan just looked through the mailbox and only found two emails related to graduate student applications, and both of them said that they had sent the relevant materials by letter.
Obviously, sending letters through the post office or human express delivery is still the main means of communication.
“A junior student from Beijing Airlines ranks second in his major. He hopes to engage in research and development of flight control. He took a class from Mr. Liu Hongbo and scored 95 points...”
“Also A junior student from Jinghang University. He is No. 1 in his major. He hopes to engage in research in structural mechanics. He has published a paper during his undergraduate period... uh... Journal of Jinghang University..."
"Master's degree from Bingcheng University of Technology, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. My supervisor is Professor Li Zhihong. I participated in the above-mentioned project 'New Principles and New Methods of Digital Precision Machining of High-Performance Complex Surfaces'... Hiss... I remember this seems to be part of the Seiko Project. A project... and letters of recommendation..."
Chang Haonan opened and read at the same time. It took him almost an hour and a half to read the contents of dozens of envelopes.
They are all top academics who have obtained postgraduate placements. In terms of average grade, there is nothing to choose from.
The worst one, the undergraduate major ranking is also fifth in the major.
Many people even have scientific research experience at the undergraduate level - although it is unlikely to be Chang Haonan's unparalleled experience, but in this era when there are no projects such as SRTP, it is already enough for undergraduates to enter the laboratory It’s not easy...
For the first time, Chang Haonan felt that he had difficulty choosing.
Professor Li Zhihong’s student, if he confirms with Li Zhihong later and finds no problems, he has basically decided to recruit him to study for a Ph.D.
After all, Bingcheng University of Technology is also one of the seven national defense universities. Students from there will have a lot less to do when participating in projects.
But the remaining master's degree spot still made it difficult for him to make a decision.
Many tutors would prefer to recruit students from their own school, but Chang Haonan does not have this tendency.
"Then...let's have an interview..."
Chang Haonan selected the five files that he was most satisfied with and handed them to Liu Chenchen, indicating that the other party would call them back one by one and invite them to come to Beijing Airlines for an interview.
If there are students from other places, travel expenses and accommodation expenses can be reimbursed.
