Chapter 852 Heading to Hudong

The large experimental equipment that Chang Haonan wanted, especially the two electron microscopes, were not only expensive, but the equipment itself had to be specially adjusted for the use environment.

So the form could not be the same as the small-scale ones that Li Yabo had purchased before, where he would make a product list to see the model and configuration, and then directly pay the deposit and place an order.

Instead, it was closer to the arms trade that Chang Haonan was familiar with.

The buyer needed to send a delegation, or at least several representatives, to communicate with the other party, and only after the details from production to transportation to installation and after-sales were determined could the contract be signed.

If it were in the past in China, if such high-end equipment was to be purchased, there would probably be many restrictions on its use, and the negotiation would be more complicated.

In addition, Tang Lintian was going to raise some funds through multi-party co-construction, so the process would be even more complicated.

Even though Chang Haonan, who was a hot name at the moment, had basically been green-lit for approval all the way, it took two rounds of feasibility studies, totaling more than a month, before the delegation to Europe to purchase equipment was formed.

In this way, we can inspect equipment of different brands and models while going through the subsequent funding allocation process.

Once the money is approved, we will place an order as soon as possible.

As a representative recognized by both Beijing University of Aeronautics and Torch Group, and with rich experience in trade negotiations with many countries in the past, Professor Yang Huimei naturally became the deputy head of the delegation who actually presided over the work.

After going around in circles, it was already late August when the delegation set off.

The Torch Laboratory has gradually become lively-

Among the first batch of students in the laboratory, except for Li Yabo, who was personally led by Chang Haonan, all came 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.

There is no mandatory requirement to join the group in advance.

So several people came to Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics after entering August.

Among them, the disciple finally selected by Yao Mengna is still Wan Chuanqing.

That is the girl from the Department of Physics of Jinling University who participated in the interview with Li Yabo before.

Liu Fangping also chose another person from the interview, Tan Ruifan, from Hunan University.

Although he and Lei Zhixing did not attend the interview in person, Chang Haonan later sorted out the interview situation and handed it to them, allowing the two to decide on the candidates.

The latter did not choose from the list, but recruited a junior from Qinghua University.

It seems that the two should have known each other long before Lei Zhixing graduated and joined the Torch Laboratory.

In addition to the three master's students, there is also a doctor under Chang Haonan's name.

Wang Jie.

Graduated from the research group of Professor Li Zhihong of Bingcheng University of Technology with a master's degree.

Originally, he could continue to study for a doctorate in the original group.

However, he had indirectly contacted the bearing project led by Chang Haonan when he was in the first year of his master's degree.

Of course, at that time, Chang Haonan was only in the first year of his doctorate.

So Wang Jie didn't have any ideas.

But two years later, when the latter was about to graduate, he accidentally saw a piece of news.

A piece of news from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Only then did he realize that Chang Haonan, who graduated from undergraduate studies in the same year as himself, had become! Professor! Professor! La!

He is a second-level professor.

He is even one level higher than his then-mentor, Professor Li Zhihong.

So, his mind became active again.

Fortunately, Professor 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 Industry to Jinghang.

For these students from other schools, especially master students, in the first semester, in addition to intensive classes, they also need to familiarize themselves with their own topics and the situation of the laboratory. In fact, it is difficult to spare any time to conduct real scientific research.

So although there are 5 graduate students at once, only Li Yabo and Wang Jie can really start working immediately.

Originally, according to Chang Haonan's idea, the 9 of us as the starting members of the Torch Laboratory should find a time when everyone is free to go out for a meal or something.

But plans cannot keep up with changes.

On August 21, the day after the new students reported, Liu Fangping and Lei Zhixing had new work.

China Shipbuilding Industry Group has approved the feasibility study of the plan submitted by Hudong Shipyard.

The LNG ship using Gas-Transport cargo tanks and boil-off gas full reliquefaction system has officially entered the project development process.

Among them, the overall structural calculation of the ship and the coordination between the reliquefaction system and other subsystems will be handed over to Torch Group and Torch Laboratory to complete.

So, the two who had just returned to Beijing Airlines for a few days had to go to Shanghai again.

Considering that this time it was a formal cooperation between the two parties.

So Chang Haonan, who is also the head of the group and the laboratory, naturally had to go there to show up and sign.

The dinner had to be put on hold for the time being.

…

From the time the plane was about to land, Lei Zhixing began to introduce the general situation of Hudong Shipyard to Chang Haonan.

After all, he and Liu Fangping had been there for almost seven or eight months on and off.

According to their understanding, Chang Haonan's only visit to Shanghai was to attend the successful certification ceremony of the C808 aircraft at the beginning of the year.

He has not been to other places.

Even except Cai Honggui, he should not have had direct contact with the comrades there.

As a result, after the plane landed, Chang Haonan began to communicate enthusiastically with the comrades who came to receive him.

Lei Zhixing and Liu Fangping were stunned.

The two 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 from Hudong say that they were not familiar with Professor Chang?"

Lei Zhixing approached Liu Fangping slightly and asked in a low voice.

"That's what they said."

The latter's answer emphasized conciseness.

However, Lei Zhixing had long been accustomed to the old friend's way of speaking, and did not care, but sighed, and then shook his head

"Our boss's network of contacts is simply unfathomable..."

In fact, Chang Haonan did not know the people from Hudong Shipyard very well.

Even Cai Honggui had only met him twice.

But during the National Day last year, he made an appointment with Lin Qing of the 701 Institute to take time to visit and observe the new domestic frigates under construction.

But later he was always busy, and it was not worth going to Hudong for this matter.

So it was delayed until now.

And it was Lin Qing who was chatting and laughing with Chang Haonan on the apron of Dachang Airport.

And Wu Wentao, a deputy general manager of the Shipbuilding Industry Group.

The latter had met Chang Haonan at the millennium party at the end of last year.

In fact, after the split of the Shipbuilding Corporation, the 701 Institute and Hudong Shipyard have been affiliated with the Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Group and the Shipbuilding Industry Group respectively.

However, this kind of situation of you in me and I in you is very common within the ship system. In addition, the two major shipyards in China that produce frigates, namely Hudong and Huangpu, are both under the Shipbuilding Industry, so the separation has hardly affected the cooperation between the two parties.

Including Lin Qing and Wu Wentao, they are also old acquaintances.

After some greetings, Chang Haonan and his party got on 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, let's take you to the frigate to have a look?"

After the car started, Wu Wentao, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, turned sideways and asked Chang Haonan for his opinion on the itinerary.

"As for me... the guest follows the host's wishes."

Chang Haonan had never seen what a shipyard looked like in his two lifetimes, so he would have no objection no matter how it was arranged.

"Okay."

Wu Wentao nodded, and then instructed a staff member sitting in front:

"Go to 2 # dock."
