Chapter 740: Build a building, buy equipment, and build a laboratory

Several major events were decided in succession within one day, and they were all related to Chang Haonan.

The next lunch had to be handled by him no matter what.

And with today's lineup, especially the presence of a national treasure-level senior citizen like Mr. Qian, it would be a disadvantage if we went out to find a hotel to eat.

Fortunately, Chang Haonan had already prepared.

Certainly not just for today.

But it came from the beginning of the year when he wanted to talk to Lao Wu, but couldn't find a suitable place for a while. In the end, he had to go to the guest house of the Aviation Industry Corporation to book a private room.

After that, Chang Haonan learned from the experience and realized that Torch Group would probably have to do some similar sensitive business in the future.

Therefore, he specifically applied to the superiors to build two high-standard private rooms on the second floor of the group canteen to meet similar reception needs in the future.

By the way, I also made a small effort to help others personally——

A Huaiyang cuisine chef was hired for the canteen, whose cooking was very in line with Chang Haonan's own taste.

It's a pity that after the operation, he was so busy in the past few months that he was about to take off. Although he stayed in the capital for a long time, because of the affairs in the Balkans, he wanted to live in the Science and Technology Commission or Sanzuomen every day, so he had no chance. enjoy.

On the contrary, Yang Huimei and Song Jingming were advantaged.

Today's situation is obviously the time for this arrangement to work.

For a high-standard business banquet, it is naturally impossible for guests to sit and wait.

Therefore, when the group came to the private room and sat down respectively, the lunch that had already been prepared was almost completed at the same time.

"Xiao Tang."

Mr. Qian took a sip of the lion's head stewed soup, and then looked at Tang Lintian, who was sitting diagonally opposite.

In fact, after reaching Tang Lintian's level, most people would call him Teacher Tang, Principal Tang, or Professor Tang when they see him.

But Mr. Qian is obviously outside the discussion.

No matter in terms of contribution, status or qualifications, let alone Tang Lintian, even if it was Du Yishan, if he really wanted to call him Xiao Du, the latter would have to agree.

It's just that everyone is an academician of both academies, so we usually call them by their first names in private.

"Mr. Qian."

Tang Lintian quickly put down the spoon in his hand and looked like he was listening carefully.

"In addition to Beijing Hang University and Torch Group, should the local government in Beijing also provide some policy support for the joint school-enterprise laboratory you and Xiao Chang are building?"

Although this sentence sounds like a question on the surface, when it comes from Qian Lao's mouth, it should be regarded as a statement.

It means that if there is no support now, then I will suggest that they support it when I go back.

However, those who can sneak into the capital and become leaders certainly have no say in terms of vision. How could they wait until Mr. Qian said something and already provide support policies while the laboratory is still in the project approval stage.

"some."

Tang Lintian nodded and explained to Mr. Qian:

"However, it's not about funding. It's about a piece of land being approved. I've even visited it specifically outside the North Fifth Ring Road, which is currently being planned. The area is large enough to build a research institute."

"That's okay."

Mr. Qian naturally understood the value behind this support, so he nodded with satisfaction:

"You are engaged in engineering, especially you are engaged in dynamic research. How can you do it without a venue..."

Yuan Xiangya, who had been engaged in applied mathematics for half his life, had never seen such a posture before. He immediately stopped his chopsticks and looked at Tang Lintian with a blank expression:

"So...Principal Tang, are you planning to build a new laboratory starting from the building?"

Although mathematical research in the 90s no longer requires only scratch paper and pencils as in the traditional concept, if you add in the construction of supercomputer and the corresponding use costs, the consumption is actually not low, but in comparison, in the battle In terms of engineering, it is still far inferior to Chang Haonan and Tang Lintian.

Tang Lintian waved his hand:

"That land has just started to be developed, so Professor Chang will definitely have to live in our school for the first two years and wait two years before he can move there."

In fact, placing the Torch Laboratory in the Outer Rim was just the first step in his plan.

What Tang Lintian really wants is to build a brand new super-large comprehensive campus for Beijing Airlines in the suburbs.

Considering that Beijing Airlines is now a member of the C10 Alliance and the first batch of "985" engineering universities, it will definitely expand in the future.

However, Beijing Airlines’ current campus is located between the third and fourth rings.

Although it was still a suburb when the school was founded, with the rapid expansion of the city in recent years, land is now at a premium.

The school wants to continue to expand around the original site, which is basically a fantasy.

Moreover, in Tang Lintian's view, conducting research is not suitable in a downtown area, either from the perspective of confidentiality or from the perspective of the research environment.

The Torch Laboratory is equivalent to asking for directions.

After all, the area of ​​the new campus he envisioned must be far larger than a laboratory or research institute.

If he goes directly to the higher-ups to ask for policies, he is afraid of scaring others.

We have to have a little fight first to give the other party some mental preparation.

At this time, Chang Haonan also continued what Tang Lintian said and added:

"Actually, if you just do some research on the theoretical level of numerical calculation, then it is not a big problem to continue in the same place, but I still hope to combine mathematical theory with practical projects."

"In this case, it is inevitable to conduct a lot of experiments and tests, but the nature of my research content is quite special. I cannot entrust this content to outsiders, so I have to build it all myself."

The explanation of the two singing harmoniously shocked Yuan Xiangya even more:

"Then... wouldn't it be necessary to buy a large amount of equipment at once?"

"Of course."

Chang Haonan replied calmly.

Torch Group currently has two main sources of income, one is the official version of TORCH Multiphysics, and the other is the joint venture established with CB Ferrari.

Although it seems a bit monotonous, the revenue capability is absolutely incredible.

Among them, TORCH Multiphysics has a monopoly position in the world, and Torch-CB Ferrari's products are almost the only choice for high-end machine tools in the Chinese market.

Although as a state-owned enterprise, not all of the income can be used casually, but there is still no problem in spending part of it to sponsor the laboratory.

Moreover, Jinghang University has also prepared a R&D fund of hundreds of millions of yuan, which is enough to build a prototype laboratory.

"Speaking of this."

Liu Zhenxiang, who had not spoken to him just now, suddenly spoke:

"Isn't it already in Changping outside the planned North Fifth Ring Road? Isn't it a bit remote for students and faculty?"

After all, it is a school-enterprise joint laboratory, and the “school” part still needs to be taken into consideration.

It is certainly a good thing to stay away from the busy city, but it is not advisable to go to the other extreme because of this.

The balance here is where managers are tested.

"At present, there is indeed a point."

Tang Lintian did not deny it directly:

"However, on the one hand, the land planned for the Torch Laboratory is very large, covering more than 100 acres, so it is not a building, but a park-like one, where separate dormitories can be planned."

At this time, even Liu Zhenxiang felt that it was a bit exaggerated.

But Tang Lintian hasn't finished speaking yet:

"On the other hand, I am going to fight with the authorities to see if we can set up a branch line or at least a subway station nearby when planning the subway line to facilitate commuting."

"!!!"

"???"
