Chapter 852 Heading to Hudong
The large-scale experimental equipment Chang Haonan wants, especially the two electron microscopes, are not only expensive, but the equipment itself needs to be specially adjusted for the use environment.
So the form must not be the same as those that Li Yabo bought before. Make a product list to see the models and configurations, and then directly pay a deposit to place an order.
It is closer to the arms sales trade that Chang Haonan is familiar with.
The buyer needs to send a delegation, or at least a few representatives, to communicate with the other party and determine the details from production to transportation to installation to after-sales before signing the contract.
If it were left to China in the past, then if you want to buy this kind of high-end equipment, there will most likely be many restrictions on usage, making negotiations even more complicated.
In addition, Tang Lintian is planning to raise some funds through multi-party co-construction, so the process is even more complicated.
Even though Chang Haonan is a very popular brand at the moment, all the approvals are basically given green light, but it still took two rounds of feasibility studies, totaling more than a month, before going to Europe to purchase equipment. A delegation was formed.
In this way, different brands and models of equipment can be inspected while going through the subsequent fund allocation process.
After the money is approved, place the order as soon as possible.
Professor Yang Huimei, as a representative recognized by both Beijing Hang University and Torch Group, and with rich experience in conducting trade negotiations with many countries in the past, naturally became the deputy leader who actually presided over the work of the delegation.
After going round and round, by the time the delegation set off, it was already late August.
The Torch Laboratory has gradually become more lively -
Except for Li Yabo, who was led by Chang Haonan himself, the first batch of students in the laboratory were all from other schools.
There is definitely no way to join the group before graduation in June.
As for the summer vacation...
The four teachers, including Chang Haonan, have just finished their student careers and are not devils.
It is not mandatory to join the group in advance.
So several people came to Beijing Airlines to report one after another in August.
Among them, Wan Chuanqing was still the disciple that Yao Mengna finally officially selected to open the door.
She was the girl from the Physics Department of Jinling University who had participated in the interview with Li Yabo before.
Liu Fangping also chose another person in that interview, from Hunan University, named Tan Ruifan.
Although he and Lei Zhixing did not attend the interview in person, Chang Haonan later compiled the interview information and handed it over to them, allowing them to decide on their own.
The latter did not choose from the list, but recruited a junior student from Qinghua University.
It seems that the two should have known each other before Lei Zhixing graduated and joined the Torch Laboratory.
In addition to three master's students, there is also a doctor named Chang Haonan.
Wang Jie.
Graduated with a master's degree from Professor Li Zhihong's research group at Bingcheng University of Technology.
Originally, he could have continued his Ph.D. studies in the original group.
However, he had indirect contact with the bearing project hosted by Chang Haonan when he was in his first year of master's degree.
Of course, at that time, Chang Haonan was only in the first year of his Ph.D.
So Wang Jie didn’t have much idea.
But two years later, when the latter was about to graduate, he accidentally saw a piece of news.
A piece of news from Beijing Hang University.
It was then that I discovered that Chang Haonan, who originally graduated from the undergraduate program in the same year as me, had already become a graduate! teach! Grant! La!
Still a second-level professor.
Even one level higher than his mentor at the time, Professor Li Zhihong.
So, his mind became alive again.
Fortunately, Teacher Li Zhihong is also a reasonable person and did not set any obstacles to graduation because of this incident.
In short, Wang Jie went from Bingcheng Industrial to Beijing Airlines.
For these students from outside schools, especially master's students, in the first semester, in addition to intensive classes, they also need to be familiar with their own topics and laboratory conditions. In fact, it is difficult to spare time for actual scientific research.
So although there were five graduate students at once, only Li Yabo and Wang Jie were able to start working immediately.
Originally, according to Chang Haonan's intention, the nine of us, as the starting members of Torch Lab, should find a time when everyone is free to go out for a meal or something.
But the plan cannot keep up with the changes.
On August 21, the day after the freshman report, new jobs came to Liu Fangping and Lei Zhixing. China Shipbuilding Industry Group has approved the feasibility study submitted by Hudong Shipyard.
The LNG ship using Gas-Transport cargo tank and boil-off gas complete reliquefaction system has officially entered the project research and development process.
Among them, the calculation of the overall structure of the ship and the coordination between the reliquefaction system and other subsystems will be completed by Torch Group and Torch Laboratory.
So, the two of them, who had just returned to Beijing Airlines for a few days, had no choice but to go to Shanghai again.
Considering that this time is a formal cooperation between the two parties.
Therefore, Chang Haonan, who is also the head of the group and the laboratory, naturally had to follow and show up to sign.
The dinner party had to be put on hold for now.
......
From the moment the plane was about to land, Lei Zhixing began to introduce the general situation of the Hudong Shipyard to Chang Haonan.
After all, he and Liu Fangping have been there on and off for almost seven or eight months.
According to their understanding, Chang Haonan's only previous visit to Shanghai was at the beginning of the year to participate in the successful certification ceremony of the C808 passenger aircraft.
I have not been to other places.
Even except for Cai Honggui, I probably haven’t had direct contact with the comrades there.
As a result, after the plane landed, Chang Haonan started to communicate enthusiastically with the comrades who came to receive him.
Lei Zhixing and Liu Fangping were stunned.
The two of them stayed at the door of the cabin and even forgot to go down the gangway for a while.
“Before we returned to Beijing Airlines last month, didn’t the people here in Hudong also say that they were not familiar with Professor Chang?”
Lei Zhixing approached Liu Fangping slightly and asked in a low voice road.
“That’s indeed what I said.”
The latter’s answer was concise and to the point.
However, Lei Zhixing had long been accustomed to the old man's way of speaking, so he didn't care. Instead, he sighed and shook his head
"Our boss's connections are simply unfathomable... ”
Actually, Chang Haonan really doesn’t know the people at Hudong Shipyard very well.
Even Cai Honggui has only met twice.
But on the National Day last year, he made an appointment with Lin Qing from the 701 Institute to take time to inspect the new domestic frigates that were under construction.
But then he was always busy, so it wasn't worth a special trip to Hudong just for this matter.
So it has been postponed until now.
It was Lin Qing who was chatting and laughing with Chang Haonan on the tarmac of Dachang Airport.
And Wu Wentao, a deputy general manager of the Shipbuilding Industry Group.
The latter and Chang Haonan met once at the Millennium Gala at the end of last year.
In fact, after the split of the Shipbuilding Corporation, 701 Institute and Hudong Shipyard have been affiliated to two groups, Shipbuilding Industry and Shipbuilding Industry respectively.
However, within the ship system, it is very common for you to be in the same situation. In addition, the two main shipyards in China that produce frigates, namely Hudong and Huangpu, are both under the shipbuilding industry. Therefore, the separation has little impact on the cooperation between the two parties.
Including Lin Qing and Wu Wentao, they are old acquaintances.
After some pleasantries, Chang Haonan and his party got into several minibuses.
"Mr. Chang, our contract signing ceremony for the LNG ship is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. So today, according to Comrade Lin Qing's arrangement, I will take you to the frigate first?"
After the car started moving, Wu Wentao, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, turned sideways and asked Chang Haonan for his opinion on the itinerary.
"We... guests are welcome to host."
Chang Haonan has never seen what is like inside a shipyard in his two lifetimes, and no matter how he arranges it, he will not Opinion.
"Okay."
Wu Wentao nodded, and then instructed a staff member sitting in front:
"Go to the #2 dock."
