Chapter 319 Surprise, won the national award
In March, the Future Technology Group factory is full of spring and vitality.
The camphor trees and banyan trees in front of the office building have sprouted new buds, and their tender green leaves are swaying gently in the breeze.
On the ninth floor, in the chairman's office, Hao Qiang was sitting in front of the computer, typing intently.
Despite being an entrepreneur with a net worth of tens of billions, he still maintains the habit of typing every day.
"It's really hard to stick to doing something." Hao Qiang sighed in his heart.
He reached out and picked up a plump cherry from the exquisite crystal fruit plate on the table and gently put it into his mouth.
The sweet and juicy taste reminded him of his financially strapped days, and he couldn't help but sigh, "This fruit was too expensive. I couldn't afford it in my past life, but now I finally have fruit freedom."
Just as Hao Qiang was immersed in the memories of the past, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
"Chairman, I have good news to report to you!" Qiu Xueya, the group's human resources director, pushed the door open and walked in with a joyful smile on her face.
Hao Qiang raised his head, his eyes fell on Qiu Xueya, and asked calmly: "Oh? What good news?"
Qiu Xueya walked gracefully to the desk and excitedly reported: "The results of the National Technological Invention Award I applied for last year have come out.
Our company's "A New Ternary Lithium Battery Technology" won the first prize of the National Technological Invention Award, "A New Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Technology" won the second prize, and "Ternary Lithium Battery Production Line" won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award."
She was just watching the live news broadcast, which was very important to the group.
Hao Qiang heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This is indeed good news!"
The first prize of the National Technological Invention Award is of very high value, and the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award is also of considerable weight, almost the same as the second prize of the National Technological Invention Award.
Qiu Xueya nodded in agreement: "There are only two first-class prizes for the National Technological Invention Award this year. It is really gratifying that our company can take one of them.
It’s a bit regrettable that “A New Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Technology” only won second prize.”
Hao Qiang said happily: "It is impossible for our company to receive all the first prizes, and there are not many second prizes, so it is very good to be able to win one.
Moreover, this technology currently has no significant economic benefits.”
What Future Technology Group applied for is a high-performance lithium battery technology project, not a super lithium battery.
The selection criteria for the first prize of the National Technological Invention Award are very strict. Usually there are only two or three awards each year, and some years there are no awards.
There are at least a dozen and sometimes more than thirty second-prize winners selected each year, but it is also extremely difficult to obtain.
"That's true. Second prize is already very rare, and it's very difficult for many companies to get it." Qiu Xueya agreed.
Hao Qiang smiled and nodded. "Well, this award is of great significance to the company. We finally have a technical honor that can truly hold our own in the industry."
The National Technological Invention Award has always been the domain of engineering colleges. It is very difficult for enterprises to win the award, let alone the first prize.
When applying for such awards, colleges and universities prepare sufficient information and use cutting-edge technology, while enterprises pay more attention to economic benefits.
However, Future Technology Group's ternary lithium battery technology is extremely high, has international voice, and directly affects the country's new energy strategy. At the same time, it has huge economic benefits and creates high tax revenue for the country. It is reasonable for it to win the first prize.
Of course, there are other factors, and being selected is not solely based on high technical content.
While they were chatting, Wang He, who was in the imperial capital, called Hao Qiang to tell him the good news.
"Okay, Mr. Wang, thank you for your hard work."
"Well, the meeting wasn't tiring. I'm very honored to be able to attend this kind of conference and even shake hands with the big boss. Haha, I was in a meeting just now, so it's not convenient for me to report by phone."
Wang He represented the group in the 2008 National Science and Technology Awards Conference. Before the awards ceremony, the country did not announce the final winners, but only announced them at the conference.
After the company was shortlisted, Hao Qiang sent Wang He to attend the meeting.
Hao Qiang doesn't like attending meetings because he feels they take too long and involve too much going back and forth.
Of course, the advantage is that you can meet important leaders, and if you win awards, you can even shake hands with several important leaders.
After a brief conversation with Wang He, Hao Qiang asked him to stay in the capital for two more days before coming back.
He was the first person to complete the project "A New Ternary Lithium Battery Technology," followed by Wang He in second place and Dr. Tang Shaojun in third place. Many other participants participated. Winning first prize is very useful, as it provides strong qualifications and conditions for applying for professional titles, job recruitment, and even academician membership.
In other words, Hao Qiang is already qualified to apply for "Academician" based on his scientific research achievements, and the other top three are eligible to be nominated as Academicians.
Of course, if you want to apply for academician, you need to meet many conditions, which is too difficult. It is not enough to just get one or two awards.
Even if Dr. Hao Qiang graduates with more awards, he is still too young to become an academician in terms of qualifications.
If Dr. Hao Qiang wants to work in a university after graduation, he can start as a "professor" and become a national leader based on his first prize of the National Technological Invention Award.
There are also many benefits for enterprises.
Enhance company reputation, attract talent, provide tax incentives, support scientific research funding, increase company valuation, etc.
After hanging up the phone, Hao Qiang thought for a moment and said to Qiu Xueya, "Let's hold an awards ceremony when Wang He comes back.
According to the company's reward system, in addition to the national awards, the company will provide an additional one million yuan subsidy for the first prize of the National Technological Invention Award, and 30 yuan each for the second prize and the first prize of the Progress Award, which will be distributed to all participants.
Just come up with a plan first, and don't count me in the bonus."
"Okay, the chairman is very generous." Qiu Xueya nodded in praise.
The first prize of the National Technological Invention Award is 20 yuan, and the second prize is 10 yuan.
If the company pays more money, the first prize will be 120 million yuan.
The chairman doesn't want this bonus. Even if there are many participants, everyone can still get a lot of money.
On the same day,
The media reported the results of the 2008 National Science and Technology Awards, and two academicians won the highest science and technology awards.
At the same time, many media outlets also highlighted Future Technology Group, saying that it was particularly impressive for a company to win three awards.
What surprised the media and netizens was that Hao Qiang was the first person to complete all three projects, which made many people wonder whether Hao Qiang was using his status to grab the honor.
This situation is quite common in companies and universities. Leaders do not put much effort into their work, but are very active in applying for awards, trying to steal the honors from those who really work hard.
Future Technology Group announced the award on its official website and briefly stated the contributions and main work of the main participants.
For example, Hao Qiang is the project initiator and project technical framework maker, guides the team's research and development, and independently completes many core technical issues. He is more than just the chairman.
At the group headquarters, employees all know that the chairman often stays in the laboratory to solve technical problems with scientific researchers. There is no doubt that he is the first person to complete the project.
Wang He is the general manager of Galaxy New Energy Vehicle Company. He is a PhD from Tianjin University and an electrochemistry expert. He also participates in scientific research. His main contribution is to study the electrochemical properties of batteries and improve their energy density and safety.
This statement is not only made within the company, but also announced to the outside world.
CUHK also hung a banner to congratulate: "Congratulations to our school's Hao Qiang for winning the first and second prizes of the National Technological Invention Award, and the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award."
Chinese university students were also surprised when they saw the banner.
Especially for doctoral students, if they are among the top three achievers of the second prize of the National Technological Invention Award, they will not have to worry about graduation and future professional title evaluation.
