Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Chapter 642 One subject with four academicians, the biggest winner

In the domestic science and technology community, every academician co-election is undoubtedly one of the most watched events.

The result of each academician co-optation is not only related to the honor of the individual scientist, but also to a large extent will affect the influence and voice of the academician's university and scientific research institution in the industry.

Academician is an honorary title used by countries all over the world to award the most accomplished scholars in their countries.

Due to its high value, the selection process for academicians from various countries is relatively complicated, especially for the selection of academicians from the two domestic academies.

In view of the important status of academicians in the domestic scientific community, the country attaches great importance to the selection of academicians, and the rules for the selection of academicians have been revised many times.

In terms of process, the selection steps for academicians of the two domestic academies can be roughly divided into preliminary selection, second round review, determination of candidates, and voting by all academicians.

Since the number of co-opted academicians of the two academies is small each year and is generally only in single digits allocated to each university department, a large number of candidates will be eliminated in each round of selection.

The scarcity of academician seats determines that the elected academicians need to truly produce influential innovative results, and the production of innovative results requires the accumulation of time. The result is that to be elected as an academician, you generally need to be over 50 years old.

In recent years, in terms of influential innovation achievements, scientific research institutions and schools across the country cannot compare with Nanshan Group if they work alone.

Many people think that academicians are only found in universities and scientific research institutions, but this is definitely not the case.

The same thing exists in enterprises.

There are many academicians in companies such as PetroChina and Sinopec.

Of course, in private enterprises, academicians are more rare than giant pandas.

Precisely because they know that the selection of academicians is unlikely to have anything to do with Nanshan Group, experts from Nanshan Group did not focus on this task before.

However, at the end of last year, the leaders spoke during the inspection and asked Nanshan Group to boldly participate in various honorary selections, including academician selections.

Therefore, Cao Yang set up a group within the group to assist experts who hoped to compete in the academician selection process.

After more than a year of hard work, it’s finally time to harvest success.

"Mr. Cao, Zeng Jianying of Nanshan Carbon Fiber and Xie Lingyun of Nanshan Special Steel were elected as academicians of the Academy of Sciences, and Zhang Jing of Nanshan Semiconductor and Pan Jinxing of Nanshan Equipment were elected as academicians of the Academy of Engineering."

"Our group has a total of four academicians, which is the most among all universities and research institutes."

"Even Imperial University and Huaqing University each have only three new academicians."

"However, it is a pity that Ji Hua from Nanshan Transmission, Cheng Tao from Nanshan Engine, Li Shigui from Nanshan Robot, Lin Cheng from Nanshan Battery and Lai Yuanhong from Nanshan Chemical were not included in the selection."

Early in the morning, Mi Ying reported great news to Cao Yang.

In fact, when he got up this morning, Cao Yang had a lot of text messages on his phone, and he already knew the situation.

Now that I have officially listened to Mi Ying's report, I have a clearer understanding of this year's academician co-optation.

"With four academicians in one subject, we are already the biggest winners in this academician selection."

“Just because others behind you didn’t succeed today doesn’t mean they won’t have opportunities in the future.”

"Especially Nanshan Chemical and Nanshan Robotics will have new results soon."

"By then, the results of Lai Yuanhong and Li Shigui will become more and more outstanding, and with the help of our own four academicians, many things will become relatively easier."

Cao Yang had a hunch that some people from Nanshan Group would be successfully elected as academicians this year.

After all, the leaders have already taken the initiative to ask Cao Yang to arrange for people to run for election, so there is no reason to take a duck egg back.

But he didn't expect to get four in one go.

Although objectively speaking, the four academicians of Nanshan Group are not many at all.

If these achievements of Nanshan Group were compared to other universities or state-owned enterprises, ten academicians would have already appeared.

Not to mention other things, the achievements of carbon fiber alone cannot be described by simple honors.

Even the invisible coating that Nanshan Chemical accidentally created cannot be easily matched by other academicians.

Of course, people can't be too greedy.

There are now four academicians, which is already an exaggeration.

Looking across the country, except for a few central enterprises such as Petroleum Corporation, no other enterprise can match this number of academicians.

"Indeed, you may have to call those who were unsuccessful later to comfort them."

Mi Ying knows priorities very well.

The urgency of calling academicians such as Zeng Jianying at this time is far less urgent than calling Lai Yuanhong and others who were unsuccessful.

Although everyone said before that it doesn't matter whether it is successful or not.

But after all, if something really happens, the situation will be different.

"Well, what you said makes sense. I'll talk to them first."

Cao Yang is not the kind of person who is stubborn in his opinions. Of course he immediately accepted the suggestions that were obviously reasonable.

He first called Ji Hua.

Nanshan Transmission's achievements in recent years are very remarkable. Whether it is 6AT, 8AT, or 10AT, all products are very good.

Even 8AT and 10AT are the first in the world and are ahead of the competition.

Normally, this kind of achievement would put Ji Hua on the path to becoming an academician.

But Nanshan Group already has four academicians, and it is certainly impossible to select all other qualified people in one year.

Not even with a hint from the leader.

By then other institutions will have opinions on Nanshan Group, which is not good.

"Mr. Cao, this result has exceeded my previous expectations, and I am already a Yangtze River Scholar. I am satisfied."

Ji Hua knew very well that if he failed to make it the first time, it would be even more difficult in the future.

Nanshan Chemical, Nanshan Robot, and even Nanshan Battery will have endless new achievements emerging in the future, but Nanshan gearbox is more difficult.

To a certain extent, Ji Hua is resting on his laurels.

Therefore, the possibility that he will surpass several other candidates in the group in the subsequent competition is the lowest.

He himself saw this very clearly.

“The selection of academicians also pays attention to the right time, place, and people.”

"Our results are adequate, but other people's results are not bad either."

“In particular, many people’s results are relatively cutting-edge and have their own unique advantages.”

"But it's not like there's no chance at all. We'll keep working hard next time."

Cao Yang didn't say too many empty words.

After all, he and Ji Hua both knew what the actual situation was.

If you don’t have your own original and important achievements, even if you have the endorsement of a big boss and the support of a strong unit, it will be difficult to get promoted.

Fundamentally speaking, your own efforts are more important.

It's not that Jihua doesn't work hard, it's just that for a practical product like a gearbox, although there is originality, it is not something created from scratch, and it is much weaker than some people.

So if I didn’t get selected this time, it will be even more difficult in the future.

After communicating with Ji Hua for seven or eight minutes, Cao Yang continued to call Cheng Tao.

Relatively speaking, Nanshan Engine's past results are not bad at all, and they will continue to face some challenges in the future.

For example, high-power diesel engines and other special-purpose engines have some areas where Cheng Tao can continue to develop.

"Lao Cheng, let's set a small goal and strive to add you to the title of outstanding young man as an academician of the Academy of Engineering within five years."

After a few simple greetings, Cao Yang set a goal for Cheng Tao.

This goal can be regarded as a commitment to a certain extent.

He said that Nanshan Group will fully support Cheng Tao in continuing to apply for academicianship, so as to further expand the influence of Nanshan Engine.

Although many of Nanshan Engine's technologies are influenced by Cao Yang, Cheng Tao's personal abilities are also very strong.

At least compared to many academicians, his strength is not bad at all.

"Mr. Cao, don't worry. I'll try two or three more times. If I still don't succeed, I will consider giving up."

"After Mr. Lai, Mr. Lin and Mr. Li are all elected, I think it will be my turn."

Cheng Tao is still very confident about his future.

Nanshan Engine is the largest and most technologically advanced engine company in China.

Especially in the field of large-displacement engines, it has made up for the domestic gaps many times, and its level has caught up with or even surpassed the level of international automobile giants.

At the same time, Nanshan Engine has never stopped developing in the field of diesel engines.

Even Nanshan Robotics is developing drones because of Cheng Tao's efforts.

Therefore, Cheng Tao will continue to have some new achievements in the future, which will provide assistance for his path to be elected as an academician.

"Well, as long as you have confidence."

"Many of the achievements we have made now can be used in some military applications, which will also be beneficial to everyone in the future when they select more academicians."

"Especially the engine you are researching for the drone project may bring unexpected surprises to everyone when the drone is tested."

Cao Yang knew very well how powerful the twin-tailed scorpion was.

A large unmanned bomber that costs several million apiece is simply invincible if equipped with several thousand of them.

Each aircraft can also carry multiple missiles of various types. After being dispatched directly, any aircraft carrier fleet will have to step aside.

The most important thing is that such a top-level configuration only costs a few billion yuan.

This price is just the price of a few F22s.

Even if the cost of missiles is included, it is still within an acceptable range.

Because of the carbon fiber needed to produce missiles, and because of the emergence of Nanshan carbon fiber, the cost has also dropped significantly.

At that time, we can even mass-produce various types of missiles in large quantities, allowing China's enemies to experience what a saturation strike is.

"Mr. Cao, according to the current planning parameters, if the performance of the Scorpion UAV can all meet the standards, then the final result is really worth looking forward to."

"In the future, we can even set up a dedicated team to develop aero engines and develop our aircraft business."

Cheng Tao also participated in the drone project of Nanshan Robot, and he is also looking forward to this drone, which Cao Yang calls the Double-tailed Scorpion.

Although the Nanshan Robot is officially positioned internally, the Twin-Tailed Scorpion is a large unmanned transport aircraft used to transport cargo.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the military.

But it takes just a matter of minutes to transform such a large drone into an unmanned bomber.

There are also companies in the automotive industry that are engaged in the aviation business.

Not to mention that BMW originally produces aero engines, and even Honda Motor is developing business jets. Is there any reason why Nanshan Group can't do it?

"I have discussed this topic with others before. Since you are also interested, let's plan it carefully and officially launch the project then!"

The more the United States imposes sanctions on Nanshan Group's industries, the higher Cao Yang's crisis awareness becomes.

To a certain extent, an individual's destiny is closely related to the future of the country.

Only when China becomes stronger can Nanshan Group's position in the world become more stable.

Cao Yang's personal safety is more secure.

Otherwise, no matter how big the Nanshan Group becomes, it will only be a coveted piece of fat.

He was still debating whether to engage in the military industry business, but now he is no longer so entangled.

Anyway, as long as I don't admit that what I produce is military products, it will be fine.

After all, even if an aircraft is produced, it can still be for civilian use.

Even if rockets are produced, they can also be used by civilians.

Even if this kind of rocket can be modified to become an intercontinental second kicker, it is still for civilian use!

As for whether you believe it or not, it doesn’t matter!

Anyway, I just have to stick to it.

Just like the DJI drone at the back, no matter what you buy it for, I still insist that it is a civilian drone.

Next, Cao Yang chatted with several other people who had not been successfully elected as academicians one by one, and then he had time to congratulate Zeng Jianying and others.

Cao Yang basically spent the whole day congratulating and being congratulated.

Nanshan Group suddenly gained four academicians, and the boss, Cao Yang, was the biggest beneficiary.

Many people don't know the influence of academicians. Even one academician, let alone four, can bring a lot of benefits to Nanshan Group.

"Ayang, I'm going to compete in the next academician selection."

When Xiang Changle called Cao Yang, he said his thoughts directly after a few pleasantries.

As the vice president of Lingnan University of Technology, he is directly in charge of the Semiconductor School and the Automotive School, both of which have achieved outstanding results.

The wind tunnel laboratory has become the leading presence in the domestic automobile industry.

"Teacher, just give it a try. I think you will definitely succeed next time!"

Although Xiang Changle's results may not be that outstanding, compared with many professors in China, they are definitely not bad at all.

Especially in the automotive industry, his achievements are very impressive.

Occupying an academician quota is not an exaggeration at all.

“Our Semiconductor College has also developed rapidly in recent years.”

"It will be even more beneficial to the development of the college if we can have an academician by then."

"I think of inviting Mr. Zhang to concurrently serve as the deputy dean of our Semiconductor College. What do you think?"

Many senior R\u0026D personnel of Nanshan Group were originally university professors, and so was Zhang Jing.

Therefore, there is really no problem for Xiang Changle to invite him to serve as the vice president.

"Of course it's possible, but Zhang Jing may not have time to go to school often."

Cao Yang agreed on behalf of Zhang Jing without any hesitation.

There is no harm in this matter.

It's not like Zhang Jing was asked to stay in school and teach every day.

Besides, if Zhang Jing serves as the deputy dean of the School of Semiconductor at Lingnan University of Technology, it will be more beneficial to Nanshan Semiconductor in the future.

At the rate of development of Nanshan Semiconductor, no matter how many talents we have, it will not be enough.

Basically, in the next five years, Nanshan Semiconductor will have as many suitable semiconductor talents as it needs.

"It doesn't matter. When the time comes, the graduate students and doctoral students he brings will just go to Nanshan Semiconductor to do research."

"It's okay to take time to go back to school and take a few classes occasionally."

Xiang Changle naturally did not expect Zhang Jing to come to class every day. That was simply unrealistic.

While Cao Yang and Zhang Jing were communicating, some companies outside were discussing how to get along with Nanshan Group in the future because of the matter of Nanshan Group's four academicians.

"Tao Wen, do you think it will be more beneficial to the development of the company if we completely hand over the management of Nanshan Hongqi to Nanshan Group?"

As the general manager of Spring City Automobile Group, Zhu Zhengfeng is naturally very aware of the meaning behind Nanshan Group's one-time addition of four academicians.

Combined with the cooperation between Nanshan Special Steel and Anshan Iron and Steel some time ago, they produced aircraft carrier steel plates, as well as countless National Science and Technology Progress Awards in the past.

This all represents the special status of Nanshan Group in China.

This kind of status can no longer be controlled by an enterprise like Spring City Automobile Group that relies solely on administrative levels.

In the past, Spring City Automobile Group could still have a hint of condescension when facing Nanshan Group, but now it no longer exists.

"If management is completely handed over to Nanshan Group, then they can completely transfer the company's profits by purchasing parts and components from Nanshan Group."

Tao Wen got to the crux of the problem right away.

The purpose of a business's existence is to make money.

In Nanshan Hongqi, Nanshan Group only holds 40% of its shares.

However, whether it is the engine, gearbox, or other important parts of each model, they are all purchased from Nanshan Group.

Nanshan Group, which only has 40% of the shares, is fully capable of taking away 80% of the profits.

This process even leaves you without any temper.

"The things you mentioned are indeed something that ordinary companies need to worry about."

"But I think Nanshan Group's food appearance shouldn't be that ugly."

"Besides, for us, the most important thing about Nanshan Hongqi is sales volume and influence. How much money we make, or even whether we make money, is not the most critical."

"As long as Nanshan Group does not cause Nanshan Hongqi to suffer losses, it is actually acceptable to us."

"Only if we can thoroughly master Nanshan Hongqi can Nanshan Group fully promote the development of the Hongqi brand and take our sales to a higher level."

"Otherwise, it will end up being just a second-tier independent brand."

2010 was a good year for Nanshan Hongqi.

But other independent brands are also developing well. In this case, Zhu Zhengfeng must be a little unwilling.

He hopes that Nanshan Hongqi will become one of the best independent brands in China.

Nanshan Group has been very successful in developing Xingchen Motors.

The newly launched future cars are also very successful.

In comparison, Nanshan Red Flag is not that outstanding.

"If the factor of making money is not considered, then completely handing Nanshan Hongqi over to Nanshan Group for management should be beneficial to the company's increase in sales."

"Nanshan Group has a presence in high-end models and mid- to high-end models, but it has no special products in the mid-range and mid- to low-end segments."

"The existence of Nanshan Red Flag can just make up for this impact."

Tao Wen felt Zhu Zhengfeng's determination, so he naturally had to adjust his speaking style.

Soon, Zhu Zhengfeng made up his mind completely.

Except for the financial department, the heads of all departments of Nanshan Hongqi are arranged by Nanshan Group.

In the end, Spring City Automobile Group only had two employees stationed in Nanshan Hongqi.

One is the deputy general manager in charge of finance, and the other is the deputy director of the finance department.

All other matters are decided by Nanshan Group.

Even these two residents play a supervisory role.

As long as the project is not too outrageous, they will not speak.

Cao Yang was also quite surprised by Spring City Automobile's proposal.

"Xiao Zeng, what do you think is the main reason why Mr. Zhu made such a strong determination this time to directly give up the rights of the major shareholder and completely hand over the company to us for management?"

Cao Yang could probably guess part of Zhu Zhengfeng's thoughts, but he was not sure that what he was thinking was right.

"I think there are two reasons. One is that the development of car companies such as Chery, Geely, Great Wall, Changan and BYD has stimulated Mr. Zhu."

"As the first automobile company in China, we have placed many people's expectations on it, but there are not many tangible results."

"On the other hand, we have gained four more academicians at one time, which shows that the support from above for our group is very strong."

"Mr. Zhu also hopes to strengthen the cooperative relationship with our group through this concession."

"Domestic companies will benefit from cooperation with us, while those who work against us will lose a lot."

Zeng Tingting gave her answer with certainty.

Nanshan Group is now an invincible presence in the country, and there are many companies that want to establish a good relationship with Nanshan Group.

Although Spring City Automobile Group was once the big brother in the automobile industry, times are changing. Now Nanshan Group is the real leading brother and leader of the martial arts alliance!

If Zhu Zhengfeng never lowers his head, Spring City Automobile Group's influence in China will definitely continue to decline.

This is definitely not good for Zhu Zhengfeng's career development.

Zhu Zhengfeng should also see this very clearly.

That’s why this time we were so determined to hand over Nanshan Hongqi to Nanshan Group for development.

"So the Nanshan Red Flag thing should be a good thing for us?"

"Spring City Automobile Group only wants sales volume and reputation, and has it given up all its profits to us?"

Cao Yang also quickly understood the meaning of Zeng Tingting's words.

This result can be considered a good result for Nanshan Group.

After all, Nanshan Group is in short supply of reputation.

Although there is no shortage of benefits, building Nanshan Red Flag can also make a lot of contributions to the development of the group.

"Yes, I think so!"

"If that's the case, then we don't have to be polite!"

Chapters have often been reviewed recently. In order to avoid the situation where the old chapters have not been released and new chapters are released, I will try to adjust the second chapter to be released at 12 noon today.
