Born Tech Mad

On the podium, Ross was a little restrained. He rarely spoke in public in his previous life.

"Mr., is your name Ross? Is what Mr. Tan just said true? Is it true that you developed the special steel technology for making special bearings?"

The female reporter from the CCTV Science and Education Channel was full of curiosity about Ross, and asked three questions in succession.

Ross nodded helplessly.

"My name is Ross, and I did create this technology."

"Wow! It's amazing. You are so young and have such high achievements in materials science. It's amazing. Little genius Ross, can you answer the question just now for Mr. Tan. If your special steel is not in the cold Technical improvements have been made in heat treatment. So how did you develop special steel?"

Ross smiled bitterly: "Can I not answer this question?"

"Mr. Ross, since you admit that you have produced special steel and special bearings, you must give everyone a convincing reason, otherwise, how can we believe that you have really produced special bearings?"

Ross scratched his head: "The technology I developed for these special steels is 'magnetic compression technology'. We use the powerful magnetic force generated by the electromagnetic device to directly compress the material more tightly, thereby changing the density of the steel and increasing its strength. quality."

"Magnetic compression technology... What kind of technology is this? Have you never heard of this advanced forging material technology?"

The female reporter opened her mouth in surprise and asked.

"Sorry, I can only answer this question here."

After Ross finished speaking, he couldn't help but want to slip away.

Another female reporter stopped in front of Ross: "Mr. Ross, I am a reporter from "People's Daily". I would like to ask, since you have produced the special steel used for this bearing, this special steel should also be able to Can it be applied to other products?"

"Uh... there is no problem with this, as long as the products are made of special steel, the performance and quality will definitely be improved."

"Little genius Ross, may I ask which school you graduated from as a top student. Why can you research such advanced technology?"

"This, it's not convenient to say. Sorry."

Ross really couldn't stand the fierce pursuit of these reporters, so he pushed the female reporter away and left the podium.

The press conference ended quickly, and discussions about special steel and special bearings soon appeared in the news media.

In this internet-developed world, an important piece of news can spread all over the world in an instant.

Ross didn't realize that the "magnetic compression technology" he just mentioned had aroused heated discussions in the scientific community, and even American scientists across the ocean had become very interested in the technology Ross mentioned.

In the press office, Ross and Tan Lin, who finished the press conference, were arranged to rest.

After a short break, a group of bigwigs from the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Industry came over smiling again.

Minister Wang smiled all over his face: "Little genius Ross, the boss of my country's Baosteel Group rushed over after hearing your speech. Baosteel Group is very interested in your technology for manufacturing special steel. Would you like to talk to their boss about this? technology."

Ross frowned: "I didn't come here to talk about my technology with others. Let me put it bluntly. Even if I tell Baosteel people about my technology, they can't figure it out. My technology for manufacturing special steel must cooperate with The powerful electricity generated by the 'arc reactor' can produce special steel."

Minister Wang smiled a bit forcedly: "Everyone is here, it's one thing to cooperate or not, but it won't be a bad thing if we see each other."

Ross also didn't want to be too unkind. Baosteel is a state-owned enterprise with an annual output of 30 million tons of steel and annual sales of 28 billion US dollars. In the steel industry, it is considered a giant. This kind of state-owned enterprise giant can not be offended, or not to be offended. There's nothing wrong with seeing it.

Rose held back his frustration: "Okay, I'll see him."

"Okay, I'll call Mr. Ma." Minister Wang walked out with a smile.

As soon as Minister Wang left, the big man of national defense stepped forward and said with a smile to Tan Lin: "Mr. Tan, can we talk about the production of bearings for the army?"

Tan Lin was a little embarrassed: "This leader, I'm telling you the truth. The bearings produced by our Lihua company are only those ring ball bearings, which cost more than a dozen yuan to dozens of yuan each. They are considered the lowest-end products, and the middle-end products. We can produce hydraulic bearings for automobiles. However, our company cannot produce high-end bearings for automobiles and military vehicles, as well as advanced bearings such as transmission shafts for automobiles, because there is no such machine. Please ask Ross about this. ?"

Ross is really annoyed. He just wants to do research, but when it comes to business, he always finds it too troublesome and a waste of time, but now he can't avoid this trouble.

Ross tried to keep himself calm, and tried to squeeze a smile on his face: "These high-grade bearings can also be made of special steel. If military vehicles or tanks use these bearings, I think the performance will improve a lot. If you use 4 times to 6 times the hardness Special steel is used to make the bearings of vehicles, and the service life of vehicles can be increased by more than 10 years. Lihua Company does not have the ability to produce these bearings, but Uncle Tan is also very familiar with these high-grade bearings. If you really want to improve the performance of military vehicles, as long as If you have money, I can make it for you."

The boss was ecstatic: "Ross is a genius, the performance and national defense of the vehicle are also very important. Compared with our missile vehicle, if the performance is improved, the mobility and survivability of the missile can be greatly improved. The Russian missile vehicle can operate at a low temperature of minus 50 degrees. The missile vehicles in our country have to overcome high temperature and low temperature, and their service life is shorter than that of foreign countries. Bearings are an important part of the vehicle. If these military vehicles use special bearings, the performance will be improved, and the service life will be increased by 10 years. No matter how expensive the price is, our Willing to buy too."

Ross laughed: "This leader, there are millions of tanks, and tens of millions or even tens of millions of missile vehicles. Their transmission bearings should be as high as one hundred thousand, or hundreds of thousands. I I want to do these things, because the drive shaft of the car is also a big business. However, the most difficult thing for us now is not only the funds, but the most important point. The country has not yet opened up private enterprises to enter the national defense industry! The country has not allowed us to produce these Bearings, if we sell them to the military privately, is this considered illegal?"

"Little genius Ross, if you can improve the performance and lifespan of military vehicles. This policy is easy to discuss, and the military can make a request to the central government. Let them open this policy to you. Then you can rest assured that production, in addition If necessary, the state can provide some financial assistance, such as subsidized loans without interest.”

Ross was overjoyed: "Thank you then, please tell the leader to talk to the central government, as long as you give me Ross the right to enter the military industry. Our country's military capabilities will be greatly improved. By then, I will be able to use special steel to produce A product for civilian and military use.”

The deputy minister was moved by what Ross said: "Ross is a genius, I will prepare some manuscripts now and report to my superiors. If there are results, I will call you."

"Thanks."

After the defense boss left in a hurry, Minister Wang walked in with Baosteel's fat boss Ma.

"Oh! Little genius Ross, it's a pleasure to meet you! What a pleasure to meet you! It's a great honor to meet you."

This Ma Boss has a big belly and smiles like a Maitreya Buddha. He gave Ross a warm hug when he met him. This kind of familiarity makes Ross a little admired. Look at how skilled they are in dealing with people. Strangers who have never met before also act like old friends who have known each other for many years.

"President Ma, please sit down."

Ross struggled to learn how to handle relationships.

"Then you're welcome. Little genius Ross, I heard that you are a person who values ​​time very much. I won't be wordy, let's be straightforward."

"Well, that's the best way, I hate talking to people who beat around the bush."

"Ross is a genius. Steel is the most important product for a country. Before World War II, the strength of a country was first measured from the output of steel. In today's world, technology is developing rapidly, but the demand for steel Dependence is still serious. China is the world's largest steel producer and largest steel consumer. The irony is that we are also the world's largest importer of special steel. Generally, we need to import high-end steel! This is embarrassing. Since you have the world's most advanced 'magnetic compression technology', are you interested in cooperating with Baosteel? If we cooperate to produce high-grade steel for civil and military use, then we will not need to import foreign high-grade steel in the future Steel. For the country and the people, this is a great thing!"

Ross shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Ma, I just told Minister Wang that our special steel needs to be produced with another state-of-the-art technology. It doesn't mean that we can produce it through cooperation."

"Young genius Ross, you can't say that. You said that you need another advanced technology to cooperate with special steel. You must have mastered that technology a long time ago. As long as you have money, you should be able to handle everything."

"I have indeed mastered all the techniques. In addition to money, it also takes time."

"Little genius Ross, tell me how much money you need. If you are willing to cooperate, Baosteel is willing to invest 5 billion to build the equipment you mentioned, to build a world-class high-grade steel and special steel production line. Baosteel is willing to invest If you invest in capital, you invest in technology, and we will give you 50% of the shares, what do you want."

"Hehe, so, if you agree, you invest 5 billion, and I already have assets of 2.5 billion."

"Well! That's how it is. The profits generated by producing high-grade steel and special steel can be shared equally by everyone."

Ross rubbed his head and smiled: "As long as you agree to cooperate, you will have 2.5 billion assets. It is indeed a big temptation. I have to think about it."

"Okay, little genius Ross, here is my business card with a private phone number on it. I'll wait for your reply, and when you agree, I will come to you with 5 billion."

"Okay, Mr. Ma, I will get back to you as soon as possible."

"Okay, Ross is a genius, I won't bother you anymore, goodbye."

After the President Ma briefly talked with Ross, he left with a smile. Only Tan Lin was left with a shocked face, sitting on the sofa in a daze like a fool. This is a business with no capital and no profit. Ross only needs to agree to cooperate with Baosteel, and he will immediately have assets of 2.5 billion.

"2.5 billion! Money that my old Tan will never make in his entire life! As long as this boy Ross agrees to cooperate, he has already made a lot of money, and he even has to consider whether to cooperate. A genius is a genius!"

Tan Lin almost burst into tears, secretly feeling sorry for Ross.
