Chapter 176 Deputy Director Li’s Thoughts (3k)

Semiconductor power components play a very important role in technologies that use electricity. One of the most commonly mentioned ones in the future is the IGBT used in high-speed rail. The electromagnetic catapult that military fans talk about with great relish is also inseparable from this, as well as new energy vehicles and so on.

There is a course in college called "Power Electronics Technology" which specifically talks about this.

But for now, don’t think too much about it, just make silicon single crystals first.

When Gao Zhendong was compiling and debugging the complete control program for the single crystal furnace, Liang Faming came over.

He came to get some material development plans from Gao Zhendong. Although they were called development plans, there were actually not many parts that required "research". Gao Zhendong had a relatively complete process description, and more were done with experiments.

Therefore, the development plans for these materials are basically extremely simple, so simple that they can be thrown on the street without any problem. The major testing procedures are not mentioned in the plans at all.

Liang Faming took the plan and first went to the Technical Department to get Mr. Chen's signature, then sent it to the factory for signature, and finally prepared to send it to the 17th Ministry of Machine Building. This had to be reported to the ministry and the funds used were from the ministry.

Although in principle the factory and the department cannot interfere with the use of this fund, the process still has to be followed.

Once the technical department has signed, the factory will just follow the procedure. It doesn't necessarily require Director Yang's signature, but it can be signed by the on-duty leader and stamped with the factory seal.

Deputy Director Li was on duty today. Looking at the plan, he turned his head and said to Liang Faming with a smile: "Chief Liang, how about this, you put this thing here first, I will discuss it with your Director Gao, and then you can report it to the department."

Liang Faming didn't understand what this person was up to, but he didn't say anything. He put down the report and left.

Deputy Director Li took the report and read it carefully.

After reading it, he picked up the phone and called Gao Zhendong. No one answered, but he was not surprised because Gao Zhendong had a lot of things to do. Then he came to Gao Zhendong with the report.

Gao Zhendong was writing a program in the computer room when Deputy Director Li came over.

"Zhendong, are you busy?"

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Director Li, how come you have time to come here today?"

Deputy Factory Director Li took out the report that Gao Zhendong had just asked Liang Faming to sign and said, "I know you are busy with work, so I wouldn't dare to bother you with ordinary matters. Haha, it's about this plan."

Gao Zhendong was a little puzzled. This plan used the funds from the ministry, and the application procedure was a little special. The factory was only responsible for stamping it as a token of approval. However, he knew that Deputy Director Li was a man who knew when to stick his hands in places where he shouldn't, so he nodded and continued to wait for Deputy Director Li to continue.

Perhaps fearing that Gao Zhendong might misunderstand him, Deputy Director Li immediately continued, "It's like this. I've seen the plan, and it will cost some money, and I guess it's not easy for the department right now. I wonder if it's true that the factory still has some unplanned income, especially since you've put so many new products into production."

Gao Zhendong roughly understood what he meant, which was to give him a ride in the factory.

As expected, Deputy Director Li said, "I think that we should use part of the money we earn from developing new technologies on new technologies. It will be a virtuous cycle and also reduce the burden on the department. After all, there are many sister units."

Deputy Director Li tasted the sweetness of ESR and the "reimbursement" of electricity bills for the DJS-59 project. According to the news from his information channels, his performance on these projects was more or less pleasing to the higher-ups.

It would be a shame if we don’t make good use of Gao Zhendong, the goose that lays golden eggs.

He doesn't even need to put his name on everything. It's enough for him to show that all the golden eggs are supported by the factory's funds and policies.

He is in charge of finance, and he provided support for the project based on his job, so he cannot escape the credit.

He had no psychological burden at all about using the funds for the laboratory's projects. They were all public matters, and he didn't put them in his own pocket. Moreover, they were things that would produce results.

Even if there are no results, there is no need to be afraid. In scientific research, under the current conditions, success is a happy event, and failure is normal. As long as you don't put the money into your own pocket, no one can complain.

Moreover, with the factory's funds, I can naturally exert some influence on the project when necessary.

What's more, Gao Zhendong's success rate is really scary.

Gao Zhendong understood what Deputy Director Li meant and laughed: "Haha, it would be great if the factory could give some support. I'm worried that I don't have enough money." For Gao Zhendong, the department only has so much funding a year. If he uses too much on this project, there will be less for the next project.

It is not so convenient to ask the ministry for additional funds, as the support given is already great enough.

With Deputy Director Li's help, the funds from the department are just an introduction. It can be used as an excuse to mobilize more resources and complete more projects. This is a win-win situation, and Gao Zhendong couldn't ask for more.

Gao Zhendong didn't care about the possible influence of Deputy Director Li on the project. It was impossible for him to have all the good things. Moreover, since he had the funding from the department and the technology was mainly his own, the impact would not be that big.

Besides, there are many kinds of influence. As long as things are handled well, it is not all bad. For example, ESR’s influence is all for the good.

When Deputy Factory Director Li heard Gao Zhendong agree, he was overjoyed and said, "Then Director Gao, this time, our factory will bear 50% of the cost. What do you think?"

Now that Deputy Director Li has spoken, Gao Zhendong doesn't want to just focus on this simple project.

Hearing what Deputy Director Li said, Gao Zhendong pretended to think for a moment and said to him, "Director Li, how about this? There are more than one project. It's too much trouble for you to come to me every time to discuss whether to provide support and how much support. You are busy with your work and can't delay it. Can you see if the factory can come up with a policy? For all projects where we use the department's funds, the factory will provide 50% in principle. This way the process will be smoother and we will be more confident in doing things."

Deputy Director Li took a deep breath and thought, Director Gao has quite a big appetite.

But on second thought, this is a good thing. I have been eyeing this area. Now that the research lab is willing to show sincerity, it is also a good thing for me to go with the flow and strengthen this cooperation.

Besides, Director Gao is very good at speaking. He said, "In principle, we will provide matching services." If there are specific reasons and a certain project cannot be matched, the gap will be left there, and it is not unreasonable.

In fact, in recent days, in Director Li's mind, Gao Zhendong is basically someone who can communicate with him on the same level.

Although his administrative level is much lower than mine, he is able to walk on two legs, administrative and technical. The other leg is much stronger and has a greater influence outside the factory.

Deputy Director Li was aware of Gao Zhendong's influence. Although he could not interfere in technical matters, all the bills related to the 17th Ministry of Machine Building, the Defense Work Committee, the 12th Ministry of Machine Building and many other ministries and units had to go through his hands.

Gao Zhendong's influence goes far beyond the Third Steel Rolling Mill.

Therefore, Deputy Director Li was very happy that Gao Zhendong showed sincerity and put forward conditions. Willingness to put forward conditions is the basis of communication.

After a moment of hesitation, Deputy Director Li felt that he still needed to push for it. He said, "Well, Director Gao's idea is good, but the fixed ratio of 50% is too rigid. It is not conducive to the development of work and the flexible allocation of resources. In my opinion, it is more appropriate to float in the range of 40% to 55%. What do you think, Director Gao?"

The floating range is very interesting. The lower limit is lowered by 10 points, but the upper limit is also raised by 5 points. This way, there is a slight pull, but at the same time, enough face is given. You see, you only want 50%, but I have given you 55%. As for how much it will be, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, it will not be lower than 40%.

Gao Zhendong didn't care about this little tug of war at all. 40% was a good thing, and from the perspective of Deputy Director Li, this adjustment suggestion was completely reasonable.

Gao Zhendong laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, Director Li is very thoughtful. A leader is a leader. Then I will put this report on hold for now and submit it again after the factory has formed a formal opinion."

Deputy Director Li said meaningfully, "We are all serving the cause of social development, so we dare not call ourselves leaders. So, for this report, just follow the 50% I said, and just revise it and submit it. Don't delay the work."

"As for the matter we just talked about, I will push it forward. You know, once this matter is pushed forward, it may delay the matter on your hands."

Deputy Director Li is not afraid that this matter will not be pushed forward. To put it bluntly, when this matter is brought to the table, everyone is fair-minded. With the help of Director Yang and General Manager Chen, this matter is not difficult in the general direction. If there is any change, the most likely possibility is nothing more than a change in proportion.

His style is that once he has made up his mind about something, he will go all out. Of course, if he has to retreat, he will do so very resolutely. In his previous life's TV series, when he took down Xu Damao, he did so without any hesitation or dragging his feet. He didn't even care about the embarrassment caused by the huge contrast with the person he had been promoting in the early days.

Seeing that Deputy Director Li was so understanding, Gao Zhendong had nothing to say. There was nothing he could do. Deputy Director Li had given him so much. As long as it was beneficial to the work, he would not be so concerned about the process.

That's how you do your job.

After Deputy Director Li left, Gao Zhendong called Liang Faming and asked him to adjust the funding sources in the plan according to the results of the discussion between him and Deputy Director Li and report it again.

The factory acted quickly, and the research plan for new materials was quickly given the green light and sent to the leaders of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building.
