Chapter 804 The Bold Idea of ​​the Old Comrade

As the music sounded, Yao Mengna led Chang Haonan and quickly walked to a specially set aside area in the middle of the venue to start on-site training.

"As long as this happens first, then this, then again..."

With a real dance partner as a sparring partner, the most basic movements are not complicated for those who have at least a basic foundation in broadcast gymnastics.

The only troublesome thing is that the ballroom dance moves are designed based on the height difference between men and women, which is about 10 centimeters.

Yao Mengna is tall and can almost reach Chang Haonan's eyebrows after wearing high heels.

So sometimes you need to bend down to do it.

"I didn't expect you had practiced this before?"

In fact, Chang Haonan soon discovered that Yao Mengna was not an expert. She just couldn't jump with her left foot stepping on her right foot.

Even if it's not a temporary study, it should only be learned for a short period of time.

Fortunately, as a social activity, the focus of everyone's attention is obviously not on the quality of technology.

"That was... when I was an undergraduate, the school just happened to allow the formation of student clubs. At that time, everyone was asked to sign up for at least one. I saw that the dance club was the first one in the selection list, so I signed up."

Yao Mengna answered while guiding Chang Haonan to keep up with the music:

"Actually, I originally thought that the dance club would teach some classical dance, but when I finally entered, I found out that it was ballroom dancing."

Chang Haonan thought for a while, then continued:

"Most of the dances are youth kung fu. Those who can become a monk and start practicing halfway are probably the only ones who can practice ballroom dancing..."

Some people who were still eager to try it out just now realized that the two of them had obviously known each other for a long time, and finally the surroundings became a little quieter.

"I heard from Principal Tang before that you also received an invitation from the American Mathematical Society to attend their annual meeting?"

The occasion here is obviously not suitable for talking about work-related topics, but the matter Yao Mengna asked seems to be closer to life or gossip, so it doesn't seem so inconsistent.

"Uh...he probably heard the second-hand news from somewhere."

Chang Haonan felt helpless after hearing this:

"It's not the American Mathematical Society, it's Princeton's Annual Mathematics Meeting... Of course, judging from the size of the attendees, it's about the same..."

"To be honest, if it weren't for the inconvenience of my status, I would really like to see how capable those top mathematicians are."

Yao Mengna naturally understood the specific meaning of "inconvenience" in Chang Haonan's words, so she suggested with a smile:

"If you really want to, I think you might consider asking Principal Tang to come forward and invite some famous scholars to visit or give lectures in the name of the school?"

At this time, Beijing Airlines has not been included in the list of sanctioned entities, so those non-confidential majors can still conduct normal foreign academic exchange activities.

But...

Communication requires the subjective will of others.

Chang Haonan shook his head:

"Our school has almost no voice in the mathematics community, and Principal Tang is not a professional in mathematics research. It would be hard to invite those math geniuses to come over."

After finishing speaking, he added in his heart:

"Actually, if you spend money to pay huge appearance fees, it's not hopeless..."

Of course, it would be a bit embarrassing to say this.

There are only a few people who can truly treat money like dirt, even in the mathematical community. However, this is a tacit content and is not suitable for speaking publicly.

Moreover, Chang Haonan is currently only "interested" in mathematics, and it is impossible for the school to spend a lot of money just for this personal interest.

Although the funds in the past two years are indeed much more abundant than before, for most projects, they are far from the level of deep pockets, and you still have to plan carefully.

"It was true that it didn't exist in the past, but now it does..."

Yao Mengna raised her head slightly, looked into Chang Haonan's eyes and said.

"Well……"

The latter felt a little strange being stared at by her like this, so he immediately changed his gaze:

"I just published a paper in the Annual Journal of Mathematics. At best, I can only be considered a nouveau riche... In fact, I am not even a nouveau riche. It's not like I won the Fields Medal."

"In short, not only Beijing Airlines, but also our country is still relatively lacking in theoretical exploration. Of course, it is not yet time to pay attention to this aspect..."

"..."

After all, he was a rookie with a purely cute new configuration. By the time the first song ended, Chang Haonan already felt that his body was stiff and his limbs were sore, and his level of fatigue was comparable to staying up late for a week to complete the project.

Yao Mengna still has some unfinished ideas, but she also knows that today has been a good start. At this time, it is necessary to advance and retreat in a measured way.

So he followed Chang Haonan out of the dance floor very generously.

"Okay, I should be waiting for you over there. I'm going to get something to eat."

After saying that, she raised her hand to help Chang Haonan adjust his slightly wrinkled collar.

…

Seeing Yao Mengna's figure disappear into the crowd, Chang Haonan sighed softly, turned around and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Xu Yang standing behind him wearing a women's suit.

It looks like he has not just arrived, but has been here for a while.

However, Chang Haonan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Researcher Xu, long time no see."

Compared to the "evil-minded" Yao Mengna, although Xu Yang and him have a good relationship, after a long time of contact, you can still feel that the former's mentality is closer to "after years of seeking defeat alone, he finally met a partner of equal strength."

In other words, it is a simple working relationship.

It's just that Xu Yang himself is probably a little lacking in emotions, so sometimes he behaves a little strangely.

And the other party's behavior also confirmed Chang Haonan's thoughts.

"Mr. Chang, you are not polite..."

Xu Yang shook his head with a look of grief and indignation:

"You just published an article in the Mathematical Annals without any notice. How come I didn't realize that you were also studying differential geometry before?"

"You are right. I didn't study it before."

Chang Haonan walked to the door while explaining:

"In recent months, I encountered some problems in the project, so I accidentally discovered something new..."

"Alas..."

Xu Yang is used to this situation:

"It's just you. If someone else said this, I wouldn't believe anything I said..."

After a brief chat with Xu Yang, Chang Haonan quickly came to the "Middle-aged and Elderly Field" next door.

"Hey, Comrade Haonan... Why... are you here so soon?"

The first person to see Chang Haonan was Zhu Linyu, the general manager of the Aviation Power Group.

He was also one of the "culprits" who arranged the former to give a speech at another place.

It was mainly because he was old, so he didn't participate in the drinking party next door.

"Well... it's just a speech, there are only a few words in total, it's over after you finish speaking..." Chang Haonan picked up a glass of sparkling water from the side and gently clinked it with Zhu Linyu, who also had water in his glass: "Leave the occasion over there to the young people..." Zhu Linyu glanced at Chang Haonan with a strange look. In fact, most of the "young people" participating in the social gathering today are older than Chang Haonan. But from the perspective of the group leader, it seems normal to say this... a bit strange. So he decided to change the subject. Because there are several people from the military industry group here, the topic can be a little more open: "Shenyang... I mean the cooperation with the French to develop M88, how is it going now?" "Very smooth." Chang Haonan said and drank the liquid in the glass: "Or it's better to say... a little too smooth..." Then, he spent about 5 minutes roughly repeating the operation of Snecma's subjective initiative. Although Zhu Linyu was not present, even if he just listened to Chang Haonan's talk, his mouth was almost grinning to the sky.

He belongs to the second generation of Chinese aviation people. It can be said that 90% of his career was spent in digesting and absorbing foreign technology-

The first 45% was from the Soviet Union, and the last 45% was from Europe and the United States.

Now, in the final stage of his retirement, he witnessed this scene that could be called the reversal of the heavens. It is impossible for him not to be happy.

"Comrade Haonan."

Zhu Linyu hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively said:

"In the field of aero engines, the French have always had a deep connection with the United States. For example, the CFM Group was jointly established by General Electric and Snecma."

"Do you think it is possible that this incident will lead to a gradual split between the two sides?"

Chang Haonan almost instantly saw through what the other party was thinking-

In the field of aero engines, although the French are seriously biased, they still have some housekeeping technologies.

This means that although it is difficult for them to completely independently develop high-level aero engines, they can serve as a boost in the research and development process of other countries and play a very effective auxiliary role.

To make an analogy, it is roughly equivalent to a bard who buffs his teammates.

Therefore, if this incident can be used as an opportunity to completely tie the French aviation industry to China's chariot, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to future development.

The idea is good.

But...

"I have to say... the possibility is very small."

Chang Haonan made a decisive judgment:

"In fact, the reason why the M88 engine has come to this point is largely because General Electric made a misjudgment, not because they really want to force the French to our side."

"In any case, as a NATO member and a European country, France, at least in the short term, is unlikely to completely break up with the Americans. Even this time, the dispute between General Electric and Snecma is basically limited to the military field, and the operation of the more important civilian field, such as the CFM Group, has not been affected."

"And I speculate that in order to appease the French, the Americans will definitely let them taste some sweetness in the aviation field next. In this way, even the best result for us is that the French will stay in the middle and not help either side."

This analysis dispelled Zhu Linyu's fantasy of letting himself go.

Fortunately, the old comrades have been through so many years, and they still have some self-control.

And no matter what, this wave is considered a win.

Cooperation is something that will happen again after the first time.

As long as the hoe is used well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down.

"Okay, you are the chief planner, so you should worry more about these matters related to the group's strategic route."

Zhu Linyu said, patting Chang Haonan on the shoulder:

"The future belongs to you young people..."
