The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 412 Zhu - Academic Committee Member - Jiansheng
The arrival of Jiang Hui’s eldest son seemed to be the prelude to a series of good things.

All projects at BMW are being advanced at full speed.

After several years of development, many tasks have gradually become streamlined and Jiang Hui no longer needs to worry about everything.

After years of hard work, my father-in-law also ushered in an important change in his life.

In the past two years, Zhu Jiansheng has been promoting the transformation of academicians of the Academy of Sciences into academicians.

The purpose behind this is naturally the hope that one can become an academician.

When Hua Xia was first established, due to the particularity of the scientific research circle at the time, the conditions for the promotion of the academician system were not yet met.

After all, China's scientific undertakings were a bit poor at that time, and the selection of academicians would seem a bit of a joke, which reduced the value of the academicians.

But after decades of development, especially the nearly ten years of rapid development after the reform, many situations have changed.

At last year's special meeting, Zhu Jiansheng had contacted a group of people to formally propose that "at present, the Soviet Union, Britain, the United States, France, Japan, India and other countries in the world have implemented the academician system, most of which have a history of more than 100 years."

"The implementation of the academician system in China is of great significance in promoting the whole nation's respect for knowledge and talents."

This proposal finally prompted the Chinese Academy of Sciences to put the establishment of the academician system on the agenda.

At the same time, the election of additional members of the existing faculty is also continuing.

This proposal was also supported by bigwigs in the technology circle. Mr. Qian suggested resuming the election of academician members to make the academician younger.

Under the stricter "differential election", a new batch of academicians were selected under the regulation of "no less than two-thirds of the votes", totaling 59 people, which further increased the bargaining chips for the final transition of academicians to academicians.

As the main designer of intercontinental ballistic missile launchers, the main designer of Hummer military vehicles, the main designer of 4MT manual transmissions, and a leader in a series of other new military and civilian technologies, Zhu Jiansheng naturally became one of the newly elected academicians.

In March 1981, for the first time in the history of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 3 academicians were independently elected through a relatively rigorous institutionalized democratic selection process.

For many years thereafter, the number of academicians remained unchanged.

This year, the number increased by 59 again, which is obviously a huge breakthrough.

“Congratulations, Dad!”

Jiang Hui put a lot of effort behind the scenes to get Zhu Jiansheng elected as a member of the academic department.

Whether it was proposing to the conference to change the academician system to the academician system, or the specific process of electing academician members, Jiang Hui's shadow was there.

Otherwise, according to the normal development of history, it would not be until 1988 that relevant scientists would formally raise this topic at the conference, and it would not be until 1990 that a new batch of academicians would be elected.

For Zhu Jiansheng, who already has all the qualifications to become an academician, it would be a pity to wait another three years.

In particular, due to Zhu Jiansheng's outstanding performance, his superiors intended to move him from the position of president of Capital University of Technology.

If he does not get this position of academician, when he goes to the ministry, as a leader he will not be suitable to handle matters in this area.

Even if you eventually become an academician, you are more likely to be criticized.

Well now, all worries are resolved.

When the academician system is established, the previous members of the academic department will naturally become the first batch of academicians.

Although academician is just an honor, its influence in the scientific research circle is enormous.

A certain discipline in some universities can have a great influence in the industry simply because the school has academicians in this field.

Once this academician dies, the situation will change drastically.

The most important thing is that academicians enjoy vice-ministerial treatment, which is also very important in the special environment of China.

For a professor, the normal rank is department level.

However, if you can become an academician, even if you do not hold an administrative position in the school, you can still enjoy the honors and treatment of a vice-ministerial level.

This is also a great incentive for professional scientific researchers.

After all, we can't always expect everyone to talk about dedication every day without talking about treatment.

Maybe this is okay in the next few years, but in a few years, this approach will surely be supported by fewer and fewer people.

"After several years of hard work, there is finally a result. It can be regarded as a relief."

In front of his son-in-law and student, Zhu Jiansheng had nothing to hide.

Just say what you think in your heart.

He really wants the honor of being a member of the academic department and an academician.

This is a normal personal pursuit.

"The Capital University of Technology Shenzhen Branch has been successfully established, and the enrollment scale of various majors at the main campus is also increasing."

"Nowadays, Capital University of Technology's influence in China is constantly increasing, and it has firmly entered the top 10."

“These are all the results of your hard work.”

"Otherwise, given the school's previous reputation and professional configuration, it would be difficult to enter the top 20."

Jiang Hui was not trying to flatter Zhu Jiansheng.

He told the truth.

In recent years, the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, as the leading college, has driven the development of many colleges of Capital University of Technology.

For example, the School of Materials Science, School of Science, School of Computer Science and Technology and other science and engineering colleges, many of their projects are related to intercontinental ballistic missiles, Hummer military vehicles and other projects.

The impact and benefits these two major projects have brought to the school are absolutely immeasurable.

This is not as simple as the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory making huge extra profits every year.

Instead, it has led to the rapid development of many majors in the school and provided many teachers with the opportunity to come into contact with cutting-edge international technologies.

For Chinese universities at this time, these are priceless.

In addition, after Zhu Jiansheng built a branch in Shenzhen, he focused on expanding the development of liberal arts-oriented majors such as management, economics, finance, law, and foreign languages, making Capital University of Technology gradually become a comprehensive university.

This is also very beneficial for improving the school's ranking.

Of course, the establishment of Capital University of Technology Shenzhen Branch will definitely be of great benefit to the BMW Group.

As a newly emerging enterprise, the demand for talent is very strong.

Currently, there are only two universities in Shanghai that are worth mentioning: Shenzhen University and Capital University of Technology Shenzhen Branch.

Seeing the benefits brought by the construction of Capital University of Technology's Shenzhen branch, Harbin Institute of Technology, Capital Aviation University and Capital University of Science and Technology are currently considering whether to build branches in Shenzhen.

Once the branches of these universities are finally successfully established in Shenzhen, the high-level talent training system in Shenzhen will be almost complete.

This matter is taken very seriously not only in Shenzhen City but also in Lingnan Province.

After all, compared with the capital and cities like Shanghai, the university resources and strength of Lingnan Province are still relatively weak.

It is very difficult to develop entirely on your own.

If we can overtake others by introducing famous schools from other places to build branches, it will definitely be very attractive.

Lingnan Province is a pioneer in reform, and these special practices are much more likely to be implemented here.

All these changes are currently moving in a good direction.

Naturally, his superiors also saw Zhu Jiansheng's efforts and achievements, so they considered changing his position.

"You know what, after several years of hard work, the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory will be able to mass-produce heavy-duty trucks this year."

"This is good news for all industries in the country."

"The convenience of land transportation will gradually improve in the future."

"Especially with the construction of highways in various places, this impact will become even greater."

As Zhu Jiansheng and Jiang Hui chatted, they naturally turned to specific work matters.

The two had previously discussed the future development direction of the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory.

Heavy trucks and various special vehicles are naturally the most suitable areas for the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory to focus on.

These products also have the most in common with intercontinental ballistic missile launchers, Hummer military vehicles and other products.

Relatively speaking, the update and replacement speed of these products is not that fast, and they are more suitable for school-run enterprises under the management system of universities.

Otherwise, if we try to develop passenger cars, we will not only face competition from BMW Group and various joint venture auto giants, but there will also certainly be competition from Chinese private enterprises in the future. It will not be easy to really make a name for ourselves.

"That's great."

"With the rapid development of the economy, the demand for heavy trucks in all walks of life will become increasingly strong."

“The same is true for construction machinery.”

"Whether it is for military or civilian use, the market prospects for construction machinery are very broad."

"If the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory can establish an advantage in this area, the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering may be able to produce one or two more academicians in the future."

In Jiang Hui's opinion, if the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering of Capital University of Technology wants to maintain its top position in the country, it is definitely not enough to rely solely on Zhu Jiansheng, the president who will soon be promoted.

It would be best if some of the senior professors in the college could produce one or two more academicians.

Of course, it would be great if there were more.

Otherwise, the advantages established now will gradually become less obvious.

After all, other universities like Huaqing University will not stand still.

They will quickly catch up in other areas such as civilian cars to enhance their influence.

"I think so too. I have begun to hand over many matters of the college to the leaders of various disciplines."

"Even if I am no longer in school in the future, it will not affect the development of various projects."

Zhu Jiansheng did not hide his next development direction, which was something he and Jiang Hui had planned together.

And according to the current situation, it will basically be implemented this year, or at the latest next year.

……

After chatting with Jiang Hui, Zhu Jiansheng’s old classmate Zou Yuan came over with two bottles of Wuliangye.

His name is also on the list of newly elected academicians this year.

As classmates, it was definitely a major event for both of them to be added as academic committee members at the same time.

At this moment, it is definitely inappropriate to celebrate in a high-profile manner.

But if the two of them get together, there will be no problem at all.

"Old Zhu, I was able to make the list this time because of you."

"I'll drink this first as a sign of respect!"

Although Zou Yuan and Zhu Jiansheng are already very familiar with each other, they still need to be thanked.

Although he was elected as a member of the academic department based on his research achievements in the fields of automotive high-strength steel plates and the fact that he is the president of Capital University of Science and Technology, he deserves the title.

But without Zhu Jiansheng's help, Zou Yuan knew that he would miss the chance this time. There are many people who meet the same requirements as him, why you?
He is not the kind of person whose talent is so outstanding that it cannot be concealed.

"You are too polite. You also contributed to the proposal to the conference to restore the list of academicians."

"Besides, the achievements you have made over the years are obvious to all within the Ministry of Metallurgy."

"Otherwise, the Ministry of Metallurgy will not fully support you."

At this time, Zhu Jiansheng must be humble.

It is enough for everyone to understand the favor between old classmates. There is no need to talk about it verbally.

"Sometimes I really envy you for having a good son-in-law, but unfortunately all three of my children are sons."

Zou Yuan was not particularly clear about the influence Jiang Hui played in the election of new academicians, but he certainly knew more than outsiders.

In addition, he was greatly influenced by Jiang Hui when he was doing research on high-strength automotive steel plates.

Jiang Hui also made many suggestions on the material formulation and production process of various automotive steel plates such as interstitial atomic steel and dual-phase steel.

Of course, Zou Yuan will give the greatest support to the BMW Group to the best of his ability.

"You have educated your three sons very successfully."

"A Huaqing University graduate who joins Shougang can definitely inherit your legacy in the future."

"The other two are also doing well in the company now."

"You envy my son-in-law, but I envy you for having three sons."

The two of them must have been chatting at the beginning.

However, as the conversation went on, they naturally mentioned some things about their respective work.

"The School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering of your school is now very famous in the country."

"Even the relevant majors at Huaqing University cannot compare with you."

“How do you plan to develop further next?”

Zou Yuan is actually a little envious of the development of Capital University of Technology.

We all belong to the same ministry-affiliated university. Although our superiors are different, the gap in resources is actually not that big.

But now the status of Capital Polytechnic University is several levels higher than that of Capital University of Science and Technology.

While Zhu Jiansheng himself became more powerful, he also made the school more powerful.

This made Zou Yuan very envious.

Although he had made some achievements at Capital University of Science and Technology, he was nothing compared to Zhu Jiansheng.

"My previous plans have not yet been fully implemented. At least in the next three years, we will continue to develop according to the plan."

"In the future, military special vehicles and civilian special vehicles will develop simultaneously, making the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory the largest special vehicle factory in China."

"This can provide many scientific research opportunities and internship opportunities for all majors in the school."

"Let our school truly become a comprehensive university."

Zhu Jiansheng naturally had nothing special to hide from Zou Yuan.

Especially in this case where you are not afraid of others copying you.

Although they are both presidents, the positioning of the two universities is completely different.

Zhu Jiansheng doesn't need to worry about Zou Yuan copying his homework.

"Our school's strength lies in the research of various materials. If you want to research and produce special vehicles, you should have a very deep demand for the research of various materials such as steel."

"Can both sides consider deepening cooperation in this regard?"

Although Capital University of Technology also has a materials science major, it focuses more on research in polymer materials and does not have any particularly professional exploration in the steel field.

Zou Yuan's proposal is undoubtedly beneficial to both parties.

"Old Zou, I totally agree with your suggestion."

“The more I researched, the more I realized that the implementation of many designs is closely related to the performance of materials.”

“If there are no good materials, even if the design is excellent, there is no way to produce qualified parts in the end.”

"For example, some of the special structural designs of our car chassis control arms will not work if the material strength does not meet the requirements."

"In addition, the material selection of key parts such as the engine crankshaft, connecting rod, camshaft, etc. is also closely related to the final performance."

Zhu Jiansheng agreed to strengthen cooperation with Capital University of Science and Technology without any hesitation.

Especially in the field of metal materials, cooperation between the two sides can definitely achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

He had no reason to refuse.

"If you say so, I will arrange someone to contact you later."

"I think we should rely on the two universities and your Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory, and also bring Shougang in."

"We can work together to find ways to improve the performance of steel for new projects, which will definitely have unexpected results in the end."

As both institutions are affiliated to the Ministry of Metallurgy, Zou Yuan has a good relationship with Shougang.

Moreover, many of his scientific research projects ultimately need to rely on Shougang’s production equipment to be implemented.

Steel research cannot be done without various large-scale equipment.

Although their school has a laboratory, some experiments can only be finally confirmed on the Shougang production line.

“No problem. Shougang has always been our partner. There is no problem in continuing to deepen development.”

Although Capital University of Technology is very close to Nanshan Iron and Steel Plant now, the two will be even more closely tied together in the future.

However, Zhu Jiansheng would not reject Zou Yuan's proposal at this time.

Anyway, there can't be only one partner.

Especially since there are so many types of metal materials, it is impossible for Nanshan Iron and Steel Plant to deal with all of them.

……

"Leader, yesterday the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced the list of the latest elected academicians, and Zhu Jiansheng, president of Capital University of Technology, was among them."

Yao Yiming is well aware of how much importance his leaders attach to various matters related to the BMW Group.

Jiang Hui graduated from Capital University of Technology. His father-in-law and teacher Zhu Jiansheng is now the principal of the school.

Now Zhu Jiansheng has become a member of the new academician, which is naturally a big event.

You should know that the influence of academicians in a certain field is enormous.

Generally, deputies in ministries may not be able to compete with others when they encounter certain things.

"This is a great thing. The stronger the support behind Jiang Hui, the more stable his foundation will be."

Liu Tianwu has a very thorough understanding of issues.

He immediately saw the impact of this incident.

"Indeed, in addition to Zhu Jiansheng, the president of Capital University of Science and Technology is also among the candidates for election this time."

"He and Jiang Hui had collaborated very early on, and he was a college classmate of Zhu Jiansheng."

I have to say that Yao Yiming is a very qualified secretary.

He had a detailed understanding of Jiang Hui's social relationships in all aspects, and also regularly paid attention to the news about these people.

If you reach a certain level of person, you can find out a lot of information just by asking through public channels.

"So, Jiang Hui has a strong influence in the Ministry of Metallurgy and the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building."

"He has a very close relationship with the First Ministry of Machine Building, and Lingnan Province also strongly supports him."

"As long as the BMW Group maintains this pace of development, his personal influence will probably be comparable to that of other local lords."

Liu Tianwu said this with emotion.

He has been dealing with Jiang Hui for quite some time.

He had specially arranged people to inquire about many things about Jiang Hui from childhood to adulthood.

It can be said that he witnessed Jiang Hui's rapid rise.

Although there is a reason that heroes are made by the times, it is more of a reflection of Jiang Hui's personal talent.

For example, when he was still in college, he chose the 4MT manual transmission, a leading domestic product, as the research object for his graduation project.

After entering the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, a key model such as the new BJ212 was developed in a short period of time.

He has completely established his position and influence in the factory.

The key point is that at this time, they were able to successfully contact General Motors.

This laid the foundation for many of Jiang Hui's future actions.

Although Liu Tianwu was not very clear why BMW Technology was able to come up with so much funding.

But he knew very well that BMW Technology was actually Jiang Hui's industry.

The nominal general manager Zhu Ling is Jiang Hui’s daughter-in-law.

"That's true. If it weren't for the good relationship with the Ministry of Metallurgy, the large amount of steel consumed by BMW Group in recent years would probably have been caused by supply problems."

As a secretary, Yao Yiming was very aware of the problem of raw material supply under the dual-track pricing system.

The raw materials within the price system are at one level, and the price on the market is at a completely different level.

Many people earned their first pot of gold in life by relying on this price difference, laying the foundation for future development.

Although this pot of gold is not particularly glorious, it is definitely not illegal and can stand up to scrutiny.

"You must handle any needs from the BMW Group as soon as possible."

"I think the BMW Group will eventually expand elsewhere."

"What we have to do now is to postpone the arrival of this day as long as possible."

The stronger Jiang Hui's background is, the more confident he will be in developing in other places.

This is something Liu Tianwu doesn't really want to see.

Fortunately, his mentality is relatively good. He understands some future situations and just wants to make the situation develop in a direction that is beneficial to him to the greatest extent possible.

He did not make any mistakes in this regard.

After all, no matter who does the work, they definitely hope to work in a direction that is beneficial to themselves.
