Chapter 224 The Right Person
Qiu Hongyi left, leaving Xu Chuan and Peng Hongxi alone in the office.
At this moment, Peng Hongxi also realized that what Xu Chuan wanted to say might be unusual or more private, so his expression became more serious.
"That's it, Academician Peng."
Xu Chuan didn't waste any time. He directly stated his purpose and revealed some things.
Before coming, he had discussed and communicated with the old man and Qin Anguo, who was advanced in science and technology, including the manpower needed for the subsequent development of some projects.
After all, such a major scientific and technological project cannot be found just by anyone, nor can it be disclosed to everyone.
This was also the reason why I asked Professor Qiu Hongyi to leave temporarily.
After listening to Xu Chuan's explanation, Peng Hongxi was a little surprised and his expression was a little moved.
He didn't expect that the young man in front of him would get in touch with senior officials as soon as he returned to China and promote a series of ambitious projects.
The research and development of room-temperature superconducting materials, the mechanism of nuclear beta radiation energy concentration and conversion into electrical energy, the ultra-high temperature plasma turbulence control system, and the final controllable nuclear fusion project.
In this series of plans, each one taken individually is a huge project involving hundreds of millions or even billions of funds.
Of course, if these projects can succeed, even if only one or two of them succeed, the returns will be huge and can far exceed the investment.
Regarding these, Peng Hongxi could only say that the ambition of the young man in front of him was astonishing.
But correspondingly, these things are also quite attractive.
Even though he is in his seventies or almost eighties this year, he is still tempted after hearing these plans.
But, can he or he be able to sustain this series of ambitious projects?
After pondering for a long time, Peng Hongxi breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his head, shook his head, and said, "Thank you Professor Xu for your invitation and consideration, but I'm afraid I can't be of much help."
"I'm getting older. I'm already in my seventies this year. It's OK for me to be an honorary professor or a consultant or something. I can provide opinions and experience, but to support such a large project, to be honest, it's difficult."
Although he was moved for a moment, after thinking for a while, Peng Hongxi finally shook his head and refused the invitation.
Xu Chuan frowned slightly and looked at Academician Peng Hongxi, and sincerely extended the invitation again: "Academician Peng, I sincerely want to invite you. In my opinion, you are the most suitable candidate."
Peng Hongxi smiled and said, "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, a bad old man, but I am also telling the truth."
"Don't look at it. I am still active in Shuimu University. I will give lectures when classes begin, and occasionally do one or two experiments myself. But as people age, energy is the biggest problem. When people get older, they really have to accept their old age."
"If it was just a simple project, I might try it again, but for this series of subsequent projects, I really can't do it, and I can't sustain it."
Sitting opposite, Xu Chuan frowned.
He actually did not expect that Academician Peng Hongxi would refuse the invitation.
Because this series of projects is extremely attractive to any scientific researcher.
Even if they are just doing odd jobs in the project, countless people will squeeze their heads to join.
What he didn't expect was that it was actually this series of huge projects that 'scared' Peng Hongxi.
If it were just one or two, Academician Peng would agree.
Opposite me, Peng Hongxi paused for a moment and then said, "If Professor Xu doesn't mind, I can recommend someone to you, which may be suitable."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan raised his head and asked, "Academician Peng, please tell me."
"Professor Han Jin is currently working in the Nuclear Industry Group." Peng Hongxi recommended a name.
Xu Chuan recalled in his mind that he knew several physicists named Han, but the name Han Jin was not in his mind.
Seemingly seeing his doubts, Peng Hongxi explained with a smile: "This Han Jin is actually my student."
"Although it is said that people should avoid relatives, but sometimes, capable people can still be recommended."
"I won't introduce much about Han Jin here, so as not to interfere with your judgment too much. Professor Xu, you can collect some information from the above to see if he is suitable."
"Of course, everything is focused on national projects."
Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Are you really not willing to go out?"
Compared with Han Jin recommended by Peng Hongxi, he was more optimistic about this old man.
He is a veteran in the field of nuclear physics, with abilities, knowledge, and connections that can help him handle many things in the early stages of the project.
It's a pity that he doesn't want to.
Peng Hongxi thought for a while and then said: "Well, thanks to Professor Xu, if you don't mind, I can serve as a consultant in the project team. Let's take advantage of the last stage of my life to use my remaining energy. "
Hearing this, Xu Chuan nodded, knowing that this was probably the result. Although he failed to invite the old man, the consultant was also good.
With a smile on his face, he stood up and said goodbye: "You are welcome to join us. I have some other things to do here, so I will leave first. I will wait for your arrival in Jinling."
Peng Hongxi shook hands with a smile and said: "It's an old bone, as long as you don't dislike it."
Xu Chuan left and stayed in the hotel for half a day before receiving the information sent from above.
The first thing I read was about the people recommended by Academician Peng Hongxi.
Han Jin is from Xijiang.
Born on November 3, 1954, father ***, mother ***
He attended elementary school, junior high school, and high school at Xiejiatan Middle School in Poyang County, Guangxin City, Xijiang. He attended Poyang No. 1 Middle School and graduated from Shuimu University with a postdoctoral degree.
In 1981, he participated in the design of China's first nuclear power plant, the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant, and was responsible for the pressurized water reactor, loop system, and fission control.
In 1984, he participated in the construction of China's first nuclear power plant, responsible for
Several thick documents were flipped through in Xu Chuan's hands.
The various information collected was also terrifyingly detailed. From elementary school to junior high school, and then to entering society, all aspects of information were collected.
In front of the country, individuals are like transparent.
It has to be said that when the state machine is used, the efficiency of various things is terrifying.
In addition to Professor Han Jin recommended by Peng Hongxi, there are several backups and candidates recommended by the Science and Technology Department.
He needs to select a manager from these candidates who can help him manage the entire project.
Xu Chuan carefully browsed the information in his hand.
The person recommended by Academician Peng Hongxi is indeed excellent in terms of information and resume.
First of all, age. Professor Han Jin is less than 65 years old.
Although he is not as energetic as those middle-aged people in their 30s and 40s, he has more work experience.
He has presided over many large-scale nuclear industrial projects. He has participated in the design and manufacture of second-generation and third-generation nuclear power plants and has rich experience. His academic level is also very good. He has published many SCI top journals and has deep research in nuclear energy physics.
This kind of person is an application-oriented talent. His theoretical research may not be very deep, but he is absolutely good in application. If there is any problem on the site, he will quickly find the cause and solve it for you.
In terms of personality, from the information sent to him above, Professor Han is not bad.
If he is placed in a company, he can be a deputy general manager.
As for the general manager, he may not be enough, because he may not have enough pioneering spirit, lack of some adventurous spirit, and is better at being calm.
To describe it in words, it is the doctrine of the mean, more than enough to maintain the status quo, less pioneering.
If such a person does not have any big opportunities in the future, it is probably like this.
Seeing this, Xu Chuan probably understood why Academician Peng Hongxi recommended Professor Han to him.
In China, there are people who are better than him.
After all, the scientific environment in China has always focused on the field of applied science, and many applied talents have been cultivated.
Whether it is his own backup candidates or those recommended by the Science and Technology Department, they are all better than Han Jin in terms of ability.
But in addition to excellent ability, Xu Chuan also needs to consider the character of the project personnel for him.
A large-scale scientific research project, especially in the early stage of establishment, has many things to do.
For example, the selection of personnel, the establishment of research institutes, the handling of various relationships, project expectations, budget management, etc., all aspects of things must be dealt with.
Although he can manage it, he can't waste time on it. His main task is to overcome the real difficulties in scientific research projects.
As for commanding big and small things, he has to find someone to help.
Academician Peng Hongxi knows very well what kind of manager he needs.
Do not fight for project management rights, do not seize the right to speak, are not strong, but can quietly do everything well, and have the ability to cooperate with him.
This is actually a very good choice.
"People become smarter as they get older."
Xu Chuan sighed and had a general idea in his mind.
However, we still have to meet these people first to see what will happen in the end.
With the help of the above, after coordination by relevant departments.
Xu Chuan met with several selected managers in the next few days, and finally determined the manager of the current project of 'Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Conversion into Electric Energy Mechanism'.
The person is Professor Han Jin, recommended by Academician Peng Hongxi, a middle-aged man with glasses and half white hair. He looks very gentle and has the temperament of a scholar.
Compared with other candidates, Han Jin is indeed more suitable at present, and the two can form a certain complement.
As for how it will develop in the future, we have to wait and see.
Xu Chuan was not too worried about this aspect. If he couldn't even suppress these people, he would still be a fool, and he would just go back to his hometown to grow sweet potatoes.
However, the candidates on his side were confirmed, and the senior management was still meeting to discuss.
After all, this is not a project, but a grand plan composed of a series of large projects. It is not so easy to completely determine it.
Before the official notice came down, Xu Chuan did not stay in Beijing for a long time.
After leaving some preliminary preparations such as personnel selection to Han Jin, Xu Chuan took the high-speed rail back to Jinling.
Before officially launching the 'Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion Electric Energy Mechanism' project, he still had some things to do.
