Great Country Academician

After recruiting Senior Brother Fan from his tutor, and by the way, Xu Chuan left contentedly after he recruited the tutor as a consultant for his research institute.

As for the acquisition of the research institute called 'Zijin Composite Materials Research Laboratory', it naturally fell on Fan Pengyue.

Xu Chuan didn't care about it, and didn't even go to the research institute to take a look.

Because the information Chen Zhengping gave him is very detailed, from construction facilities, to scientific research personnel, to the service life and status of various equipment in the laboratory, etc., all have very complete records.

With such a document, and with Senior Brother Fan checking it out for him, it doesn't matter whether he goes to the scene to see it or not.

Before officially starting the research work, he had to deal with some other things.

Following the familiar path, Xu Chuan came all the way to the office of Principal Liu Gaojun.

He knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Xu Chuan opened the door and walked in, and greeted with a smile: "Principal."

In front of the desk, Liu Gaojun was dealing with the documents on the desk. When he looked up to see Xu Chuan, he was a little surprised for a second, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Getting up from the office chair, Liu Gaojun walked to the office cabinet beside him with a smile, and greeted Xu Chuan while taking tea from it to make tea.

"Why didn't you say hello before you came back? The school didn't even have time to greet you."

Xu Chuan smiled, and said, "It's not an important matter, why make it so complicated."

Liu Gaojun laughed and said, "It's not an important thing for a Fields Medal winner to come to Nanjing University."

Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile, and joked: "How about this, Mizuki invited me to be a professor, and I will go here, and then come back every time to see you for a welcome?"

Hearing this, Liu Gaojun said with a serious face: "That won't work, we have already agreed in advance."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "That's it, and I'm not an outsider, so why bother?"

"I like that." Liu Gaojun laughed, feeling delighted at what Xu Chuan said about his own people.

After chatting for a while, Liu Gaojun brought over a cup of tea and asked, "Is your place here ready?"

Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "Not yet, I'm looking for a house."

He didn't worry about where he lived. When he came into contact with the head Mu Fu before returning to China, he had talked about that no matter which city in the country he worked in, the country would assign him a corresponding housing.

If he doesn't look for a house, he can get reimbursed if he stays in a hotel directly. There is nothing wrong with these.

Liu Gaojun: "There are also some villas on the school side for some professors to live in. Some are on the Zijin Mountain side, and some are inside each school. You can choose here? See if you like it?"

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "That's fine, let's take a look. The house on the school side is relatively close to the school, and it's convenient for me to work as a professor here."

"But I should buy another one to facilitate other research and things."

Liu Gaojun didn't care, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll have someone send the housing information to your email, so you can pick it."

The two of them didn't care about living, even though in terms of housing prices in Jinling, a villa costs tens of millions, and a better location is more expensive.

But whether it is for Xu Chuan or NTU, a villa is nothing.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Liu Gaojun continued, "The military training will be over in a while. Do you have time for the opening ceremony? The school would like to invite you to give a speech on stage to cheer up the freshmen."

Xu Chuan asked, "What day?"

Previously, he rejected Mizuki's invitation to the opening ceremony, but the relationship can be divided into close and distant. Nantah University is his alma mater. If he has time, he would still like to give a speech at Nantah University. If you really don't have time, there's nothing you can do.

"It's currently scheduled for September 25th." Liu Gaojun replied.

Xu Chuan thought for a while, and said: "It should be possible. Let's talk about it at that time. It mainly depends on whether there are other things at that time. I talked with the above about some scientific research projects. It will be busy."

Liu Gaojun nodded. As the principal of Nantah University, he is not low in rank and knows some things, so he just invited him.

Skipping this matter, he then asked: "There is another matter, how is your class arranged?"

"Let's take a course of 'Algebraic Geometry' first, but I will arrange the specific teaching time." After pondering for a while, Xu Chuan said.

As a professor of Nantah University, his position is the same as that of Princeton University, and he is to teach and guide students.

But at his level, teaching is very free, and it doesn't matter whether he has a class or not, especially when he has other studies on him now.

After staying at Nantah University for a few days, after finishing the professor entry procedures and dealing with some daily trivial matters such as domicile, Fan Pengyue's acquisition of the research institute was also completed.

After spending 12 million yuan, Xu Chuan purchased the 'Zijin Composite Materials Research Laboratory' that he had previously selected.

This is his first private research institute in China.

Xu Chuan came to this laboratory located near Zijin Mountain for the first time after the Industrial and Commercial Bureau changed the name of the institute to "Chuanhai Materials Research Institute".

The former boss of the research institute has left, and now Fan Pengyue is in charge.

Although he is only a postdoctoral fellow, fortunately, the scale of the institute is not large, and there are not many researchers in it, only a dozen or so people.

Fan Pengyue can still manage a dozen or so people. Before that, he was doing experiments with Chen Zhengping when he was studying for a Ph. D. and was often responsible for managing the entire project.

"Boss, you are here."

In the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, Fan Pengyue who received the call quickly ran out to greet him.

As for Xu Chuan, his address has also changed. He could be called Junior Junior Brother or Chuan Junior Brother in school before, but now the status of the two has changed. Fan Pengyue can still understand this.

"How is the research institute organized, Brother Fan? When can we start material research?" Xu Chuan didn't care about Fan Pengyue's address, and followed him into the building.

Fan Pengyue: "The relevant information and data have almost been sorted out. According to your previous request, the personnel aspect has not been adjusted for the time being."

"However, after hearing that the institute changed its boss, three people resigned voluntarily. The three who resigned were two salesmen and one quality administrator. These two positions need to be found again."

"In addition, there are a total of 23 people left in the institute, including two full-time researchers, three assistant researchers, four doctoral students, and four master's students."

"Others are the person in charge of finance, quality and some miscellaneous personnel."

"As for the material research experiment, it can be done at any time. I can give up on the lack of a quality administrator for the time being."

Fan Pengyue quickly reported the materials sorted out in the past two days. After Xu Chuan listened carefully, he nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The missing personnel must be filled quickly."

"As for now, let's go see those researchers first. If there are no problems, the research institute should start to move, and it can't be idle forever."

Fan Pengyue nodded. This is the advantage of acquiring a complete research institute or laboratory.

As long as there is not much change in personnel, they can quickly invest in subsequent research and development, including material research experiments that have not been completed before, and can also continue.

In the office, Xu Chuan looked at more than a dozen researchers and other leaders in the laboratory. At the same time, these researchers and leaders also looked at the new boss nervously.

For a small material research institute, boss change is a big deal, especially for two full-time researchers.

Because they all have previous research projects in their hands, no one knows whether the new boss will cut these projects or shrink scientific research funds after taking office.

This is related to their own vital interests. If the project is cut, all the time and energy invested before will be wasted.

A dozen or so researchers looked at Xu Chuan with different eyes, some curious, some surprised, some excited, some shocked.

Not everyone recognized Xu Chuan, and there were quite a few people who devoted themselves to their own research and didn't pay much attention to external affairs.

When everyone was present, Fan Pengyue presided over the meeting.

"Today's meeting, let me first introduce our new boss to everyone. I hope everyone will not get too excited for a while."

At the conference table, Fan Pengyue smiled and said, his words aroused the curiosity of some people, and made others even more excited when they recognized Xu Chuan.

"Xu Chuan, Professor Xu, this year's Fields Medal winner and the prover of Hodge's conjecture, from today onwards, he is the new boss of our 'Chuanhai Materials Research Institute'."

"Everyone applauds and welcomes."

After the voice fell, loud applause broke out in the not-so-large conference room. Some researchers who had recognized Xu Chuan in advance clapped vigorously, their faces full of excitement and excitement.

On the other hand, the faces of the uninformed people were full of astonishment.

Although they didn't recognize Xu Chuan, it didn't mean they hadn't heard of the name.

However, no one expected that this legendary name would actually appear in front of their eyes today and become their boss.

Xu Chuan stood up, nodded with a smile and greeted the people in the meeting room.

"It's the first time to meet you. I am very glad to meet you. I hope that everything will go smoothly in the future work and we can get along happily together."

In the meeting room, the applause became more enthusiastic. For a small meeting with less than twenty people, the applause felt like a sea of ​​people.

Xu Chuan suppressed his hand, suppressed the violent applause, and continued: "Today's meeting, I am only the audience, and Fan Pengyue will preside over it."

On the side, Fan Pengyue nodded, took the topic from Xu Chuan and continued.

"Our bosses have also seen it, and I believe the future of the institute will definitely be brighter."

"...Next is some work arrangements."

"The first is the material research and development experiment. At present, the two official researchers have their own independent material experiments. I know the relevant progress and the situation."

"However, starting today, the material research and development projects of the two are suspended first, and then there are other tasks assigned."

In the conference room, Fan Pengyue distributed related work, while Xu Chuan carefully observed the performance of various scientific researchers.

It is his arrangement to directly suspend all research projects.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it doesn't suspend. A material laboratory with a total asset of only 10 to 20 million yuan, the two projects actually don't take up much scientific research funds. It's worth a million yuan, so it's okay for him to continue to allocate funds for research and development.

However, he wanted to take the opportunity to see some of the performance of the researchers in the institute.

He is different from the previous boss of this research institute. He does not need these researchers to have strong innovation ability at present, as long as they are obedient enough and able to do experiments, he will arrange all the projects.

But at the same time, he didn't want people who were fooling around in the team.

Suspending the projects of the research institute will damage the interests of most people in the research institute, and only when their own interests are damaged can they best reflect the hearts of the people.

Following Fan Pengyue's arrangements, there was a slight commotion in the conference room.

The new boss took office and directly suspended all previous research, which can be said to be fatal to the researchers in the laboratory.

After all, the project's bonus, performance, income, etc. are all linked to the experimental project.

If it is in other places, if the boss dares to suspend the experimental project of the official researcher without any reason, the researcher will dare to leave directly.

But here, no one made a sound, and no one raised any objections. The two official researchers whose projects were cut off didn't even frown.

No one would be an idiot if he could achieve the position of a formal researcher, and even an idiot would not be able to take this position.

For a scientific research dog, they can't understand what it means to be able to follow a Fields Medal winner to do scientific research.

Funds, resources, top scientific research journals, fame, etc., which were almost unreachable before, will be available at your fingertips in the future.

Whether it is for talents who want to go further in academics, or for working dogs who want to earn more money, whether to choose to continue their own research, or to follow a top big cow and listen to the big cow's arrangement from scratch Been here, everyone knows how to choose.

After all, in academia, it can be said that as long as one has fame, one has everything.

Otherwise, there would not be so many scientific research dogs who would rather not pay, as long as they give the opportunity to do experiments, sharpen their heads and want to sneak into Daniel's laboratory.

Being able to do odd jobs under the hands of a top-notch expert is also a kind of gilding.

In the meeting room, Fan Pengyue's arrangements were still going on.

".In the coming time, Chuanhai Materials Research Institute's main tasks will be in two aspects."

"The first is the research and development of electrolyte materials in lithium batteries."

"The second is the research and development of artificial SEI thin film materials in lithium batteries."

"The two projects are the next work of the institute. Official researcher Yu Zhen is responsible for the research and development of electrolyte materials, and official researcher Ye Zan is responsible for the research and development of artificial SEI thin film materials."

"Other researchers will continue to work as usual for the time being, who they worked with before, and who they still work with now."

"If you have an opinion, you can raise it now."
