Chapter 914: Koreans want to steal technology?

"No way..."

Chang Haonan felt that this guess was a bit outrageous.

It’s not that he has much faith in the character of Koreans.

Instead, the core technology of the entire BOG reliquefaction system is in the hands of Torch Group, or more strictly speaking, it is in its own hands.

Not to mention going through the Hudong Factory, even if Liu Fangping and Lei Zhixing were bribed, it would be impossible to obtain complete technical information.

"But... Hudong Shipyard is responsible for the overall construction of the entire ship, and GTT's technical team is deeply involved in the design of the core liquid cargo tank system of the entire ship. In this process, they will inevitably come into contact with the design of the BOG reliquefaction system..."

As a doctoral student from an old military-industrial university like Bingcheng University of Technology, Wang Jie is absolutely impeccable in terms of vigilance.

"Wait a minute..."

Chang Haonan raised his hand to interrupt the other party, and then further explained:

"What Hudong Factory has is just a customized solution for their ship, or at most their ship type. We have registered the patent, so why would we need commercial espionage? We can just check with the Patent Administration Bureau and we will know..."

"Uh... Teacher, shouldn't this kind of core patent have a lot of vagueness and deliberate omissions? Even if we find it, it shouldn't be actionable, right?"

Wang Jie is also a veteran and is familiar with these scientific research tips.

But Chang Haonan's experience in two lifetimes obviously prepared him for this:

"The solution provided by Hudong Factory only has parameters, not even a design method, let alone operability..."

As Wang Jie just said, as long as you are willing, it is easy to copy a specific plan from the shipyard.

In fact, this thing is not confidential at all.

But it makes no sense for Samsung Offshore & Marine.

It is equivalent to the last big question in a math test, where you only copied the final result but did not write down the intermediate process.

Still can't get any points.

"..."

This time, Wang Jie didn't reply and seemed to be somewhat convinced.

Seeing this, Chang Haonan continued to comfort him:

"Moreover, our BOG reliquefaction system will affect the structural strength of the cargo tank itself. It must be combined with the Gas-Transport technology of the double-layer Invar steel plate. Samsung Offshore has chosen the relatively lightweight Technigaz system, which is not suitable at all. Even if they buy this technology from me openly, it will be useless..."

Having said this, Wang Jie naturally felt relieved.

"Then teacher, if there is nothing else, I will..."

He has already started imagining his vacation life for the next half month.

"Wait a moment."

Chang Haonan quickly called out to Wang Jie, whose butt was half raised.

The latter's heart skipped a beat:

"Teacher, I have already bought the ticket to go home..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm not asking you to work overtime."

Chang Haonan waved his hand;

"The intensity of the tasks at the shipyard is a little lower now. In addition, the two masters taught by Teacher Liu and Teacher Lei can also go there to help. So you should report to the school after the next semester starts. There is a junior who needs your guidance."

As usual, Chang Haonan also recruited a PhD and a Master this year.

However, I did not meet people like Li Yabo and Wang Jie whose abilities far exceeded the average level of their grade.

As usual, the master's students come from this school, but they need to take classes in the first half of the year. The doctoral students come from Beijing Institute of Technology, which is also one of the seven national defense universities. They also majored in mechanical engineering and are very suitable to be taught by the relatively experienced Wang Jie.

"Oh……"

The latter breathed a sigh of relief:

"No problem, I will definitely take good care of you..."

“Also, be mentally prepared for this holiday.”

Chang Haonan smiled:

"After next semester, I should consider letting you take charge of the project independently."

"what?"

Wang Jie was shocked:

"I...I lead the project?"

At the beginning of the 21st century, most research groups did not have many projects to work on, so letting graduate students actually lead projects was not as common as it would be a decade or twenty years later.

At least when Wang Jie studied for his master's degree at Bingcheng University of Technology for three years, the projects were basically led by several teachers.

"You'll have to be independent sooner or later."

Chang Haonan said:

"Don't feel too burdened. I will definitely provide the necessary guidance at the beginning."

"However, my requirement for you is that you cannot be like ordinary graduate students who just follow my instructions. You must at least be able to draw inferences about other cases..."

Wang Jie is considered a relatively capable doctoral student. If he had only been following his teacher's instructions during his three to four years of doctoral studies, it would actually be detrimental to his development.

Of course, after giving pressure, you also have to give some motivation:

"Also, since I've asked you to be in charge of the project, starting from next semester, your graduate student allowance will definitely be paid at a higher standard."

Sure enough, Wang Jie's eyes suddenly brightened.

When it comes to giving money, Chang Haonan has no shortage of funds at all.

Therefore, let alone in the ranks of graduate student subsidies, even compared with outside wages, the labor fee he received is definitely considered a high salary.

……

After watching Wang Jie leave, Chang Haonan quickly sat back behind his desk, spread out a piece of document paper and began to write furiously.

In fact, the reason why he stopped the former just now was because he wanted him to help him deliver a document to Shanghai.

The relationship between the Torch Laboratory and the Hudong Factory is rather delicate.

The main reason is that Chang Haonan’s own identity is rather delicate.

He is not only the second party involved in the LNG ship project, but also the leader of the Aviation Power Group. If he directly calls a unit of the shipbuilding industry group to arrange work, it will always be suspected of crossing the line.

Therefore, any matters that occurred before were conveyed through Wang Jie, Lei Zhixing or Liu Fangping.

When there are things that are inconvenient to talk about on the phone, we have to rely on these three old guys to run errands.

However, considering that the young man had finally returned home, he was unable to say it in the end -

At present, the railway is still in the third and fourth major speed-ups. A train ride a little further away can easily take more than 48 hours.

A half-month vacation may seem long, but the time actually left for the other person to be at home is only about ten days.

Fortunately, this matter does not necessarily have to be done by Wang Jie.

With the resources that Chang Haonan can mobilize now, he can write a proposal and hand it over to Li Zhongyi, and then arrange it through the Science and Technology Commission.

That's what he's doing now.

The general meaning is also very simple.

Since Samsung Offshore & Marine wants to interfere in this project, we might as well take advantage of their shrewd tactics and put on a good show for both the Norwegians and the Koreans at the same time.

Now it is Zhuoer Company that has taken the initiative to approach Hudong Factory. If we directly reject the order as we decided before, it would be too strange and there is no guarantee that the Koreans will not become suspicious.

Therefore, they still had to pretend that they were having tough negotiations with Xizhuoer and wanted to get the order, so they seized on the point that the advance payment ratio was too low, which would make it appear more realistic.

Given the Koreans' enthusiasm for grabbing orders, in order to suppress the Hudong factory, they may even proactively propose to reduce the advance payment ratio on the basis of 10%.

In this way, Zhuoer Company will find that Hudong is not so easily fooled and will most likely turn to Samsung Offshore Engineering next door.

No matter what the final result is, Samsung will inevitably suffer a lot of losses.

As its main competitor, the Chinese shipbuilding industry can reap the benefits...
