When Fang Hanmin showed up at the registration desk of the conference affairs team with fatigue from the journey, several young people were receiving the attendees who arrived one after another. There was also a man in his sixties who was wearing glasses, with a thin face and some gray hair. The staff casually looked through the participant information forms that had gone through the registration procedures.
According to the staff's request, Fang Hanmin put the filled-in form on the table and waited for the conference team to arrange the room number of the hotel. The older staff member picked up the form and looked at it, and asked in surprise: "You are Red Star Pharmaceuticals Comrade Fang Hanmin from the factory?"
Fang Hanmin was also surprised when he suddenly heard someone asking, "Yes, I am Fang Hanmin from Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. Are you...?"
"Comrade Fang Hanmin, welcome to our meeting! I am Lao Xu from "Pharmaceutical Technology" magazine. We have written several letters and made several phone calls. I am here to wait for your arrival."
Fang Hanmin immediately put down his luggage, took the initiative to stretch out his hands, and stepped forward to shake hands with Lao Xu, "Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Xu! Thank you for your kindness! Yes, we are old acquaintances, but this is the first time we have met. ,Nice to meet you!"
"That's right. We have known each other for a long time through your thesis. Although this is the first time we have met, we feel like old friends at first sight." Lao Xu greeted sideways: "Xiao Lin, don't arrange anything else in Section Chief Fang's room." People."
"Mr. Xu, are you saying that Mr. Fang Hanmin only has his own room?"
"Yes, that's what it means."
"However, the conference affairs team stipulated that all participants should stay in standard double rooms, and two guests must be accommodated in each room, so no waste can be caused."
"I know the rules of the conference affairs team, but Section Chief Fang is an exception. He must have a quiet environment. I will say hello to the conference affairs team later, and I will be responsible for anything."
Fang Hanmin on the side was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Xu, I'd better stay in a double standard room as requested by the conference team."
"You don't have to worry about it. This is my arrangement. Come on, I'll accompany you to the hotel." Lao Xu asked again: "Xiao Lin, has Section Chief Fang's room been arranged? Which room is it in?"
"The arrangements have been made, let Mr. Fang stay in room 606."
"Okay, Chief Fang, let's go."...
Accompanied by Editor-in-Chief Xu, the driver of the conference team took them to the reserved hotel. After entering the room and putting down his luggage, Lao Xu asked Fang Hanmin to take a rest. In the evening, the organizing committee arranged a welcome banquet for the participants.
Lao Xu is the editor-in-chief of "Pharmaceutical Technology" magazine. He is responsible for contacting experts and professors for this technical seminar. He selected the topics involved in the papers and speeches read at the seminar.
Before the dinner started, Editor-in-Chief Xu insisted that Fang Hanmin sit at the same table with several nationally renowned industry experts. Fang Hanmin didn't like such an occasion very much. The age difference between him and these technical authorities in the pharmaceutical industry was too big, so someone would inevitably ask him about it. Because of his status as a time traveler, Fang Hanmin felt bored whenever he lied to excuse such questions. In addition, because he is from a different world from those industry giants, Fang Hanmin does not want to have anything to do with them.
However, Lao Xu's invitation was due to Fang Hanmin's respect, and Fang Hanmin fully understood this hospitality. From the moment they met until now, Editor-in-Chief Xu never mentioned his old classmate, Lao Xia, chief engineer of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. His enthusiasm for Fang Hanmin surprised even Fang Hanmin himself.
It's not that Editor-in-Chief Xu has forgotten his old classmate. He has been in contact with Lao Xia for so many years, and he is the only one among their classmates in college. It was Lao Xia who led Lao Xu to get in touch with Fang Hanmin.
However, Fang Hanmin impressed Editor Xu so deeply!
Although the two did not know each other before, Hanmin's four consecutive papers published in "Pharmaceutical Technology" more than half a year ago caused a strong shock in the industry. The editorial department not only received many letters from readers, but also subscribed to the magazine. It has made a huge contribution to the volume of sales. The number of subscriptions to "Pharmaceutical Technology" magazine this year has increased by 50% compared with previous years!
The key is that from the perspective of Mr. Xu, who has been an editor of pharmaceutical science and technology for more than 30 years, he believes that the level of Fang Hanmin's papers is too high. In the more than 30 years of "Pharmaceutical Science and Technology" being published, Fang Hanmin's four papers belong to the only category. s level.
Lao Xu believes that the process technology described in the four papers is quite advanced and is currently unique in the country.
Therefore, when Lao Xu was looking for candidates to read the thesis, he first thought of Fang Hanmin and his thesis. As soon as they met, the two talked endlessly. Of course, he had no time to ask about his old classmate Mr. Xia.
Although Fang Hanmin is only in his twenties and is still a fledgling young man, and his reputation is not comparable to that of several well-known industry experts in the country, several of his papers can be said to stand out from the crowd, and the new hydrogenation catalysis process of Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory, It is enough to stand out among the others in the industry. Lao Xu believes that Fang Hanmin is fully qualified to be on an equal footing with these famous experts.
It was hard to refuse such hospitality, and Fang Hanmin really couldn't refute Lao Xu's face, so he had no choice but to agree.
When Lao Xu and Fang Hanmin came to table No. 1, several experts had already taken their seats.
"Editor-in-chief Xu, you are so late, so we have to wait!" said an expert.
"I'm sorry for keeping the experts waiting for so long, but the food hasn't been served yet, so it's not too late. I'll punish myself with a drink later to apologize to you all." It was obvious that Lao Xu had long been familiar with these experts.
"With your drinking capacity, we can't bear it, so let's just drink as a penalty. Oh, why don't you introduce to everyone, which institution or university does the young man next to you come from?"
Before Editor-in-Chief Xu could introduce him, the old expert opposite suddenly stood up and said, "Xiao Fang, Fang Hanmin, is that you? When did you arrive?"
Except for the two parties involved, everyone else including Lao Xu felt baffled.
Because it was the first time for him to sit at the same table with so many unknown domestic well-known industry experts, Fang Hanmin was a little uneasy. Therefore, he lowered his head after sitting down and did not pay attention to the other guests at the same table.
When he heard someone calling his name, Fang Hanmin raised his head and recognized the other person immediately. He quickly stood up and ran over, stretching out his hands to shake each other's hands. "Professor Fei, are you here too? Are you feeling well?"
Everyone was confused. There was an age difference of about fifty years between the two of them. How come they seemed to be like old friends at first sight? Are they teachers and students, fellow townsmen or alumni? Everyone knows that Lao Fei graduated from a prestigious school. It seems that this young man's background is not simple.
Just when everyone was confused, Professor Fei asked Lao Xu: "Editor-in-Chief Xu, let me go ahead and introduce this young man to you first, okay?"
"Of course! Professor Fei, I also want to know, how did you meet?"
Lao Fei motioned Fang Hanmin to return to his seat, and he introduced to everyone the general process of how he and Fang Hanmin got to know each other, "Their results are very technical. Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory invited seven of us to do the appraisal, and the other six are also very good. , I told you that everyone here is familiar with it. It is said that that achievement later won the first prize of their province's Science and Technology Progress Award, which is indeed good. What I want to say is that Comrade Xiaofang's performance at the appraisal meeting was very exciting!"
"Professor Fei, it must be quite good to get your praise!" Another expert agreed.
"It's not enough to just listen to what I say. I read the agenda of the seminar and it seems that he is going to read a paper at the meeting. You will know when the time comes." A great expert like Lao Fei never imposes his views on others.
Editor-in-Chief Xu took over, introduced the experts first, and then said: "Yes, he will read the paper at the seminar, and if time permits, he may also make a report on 'Analysis of Development Trends of Pharmaceutical Technology' .”
One of the experts suddenly realized: "After a long time, he is the author of four papers published in "Pharmaceutical Technology"? Unexpectedly! So young?"
"I have read all those papers, and the level is quite high."
"Are the technologies involved in several papers the results of the appraisal conducted by Professor Fei? That technology has been industrialized? It's unbelievable!"
"What's unbelievable about that? Professor Fei said that his achievements have been authenticated, and the appraisal standards are very high, and he won the first prize for provincial scientific and technological progress."
"The technology is so advanced that I can't even imagine it. It's really not simple!"
“I’ve never heard of Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory before. Is it a local small business?”…
Experts were talking a lot, and Fang Hanmin wanted to take this opportunity to promote the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, "Our unit is a local state-owned enterprise with more than 4,000 employees. It currently has two major workshops and six production lines. Professor Fei and the others saw with their own eyes that our two All production lines in the workshop adopt this new process, and the effect is very good.”
While he was talking, the sumptuous dishes were already on the table. Editor-in-Chief Xu asked the waiter to pour wine, "Fill the glasses in front of everyone, no limit, drink as you like. It's not easy for everyone to meet. Let's take this opportunity to drink and communicate." .”
It is different from ordinary dinner parties. The people here are all technical elites. They drink on their own initiative. There are no routines like those in social drinking parties. Even Editor-in-Chief Xu, who represents the organizer of the conference, only gave a symbolic speech after a brief speech. It is suggested that everyone raise a glass together, and after taking a sip, he will no longer take the lead in initiating the initiative.
A younger expert may want to find someone to drink with him. He picked up his glass and said, "Chief Fang, it looks like you are not old. You should be able to drink some wine?"
"You can drink as much as you want, Professor Li. It's an honor to meet you. I respect you." Fang Hanmin came over with a wine glass.
"Oh, thank you, thank you! Let's respect each other, okay?" Professor Li stood up and clinked glasses with Fang Hanmin.
Professor Li is a professor-level senior engineer at a medical research institute. He seemed to have found a close friend at the wine table. After Fang Hanmin returned to his seat, Professor Li changed seats with the guest next to Fang Hanmin and insisted on sitting next to Fang Hanmin. Together.
The glass of wine just now was proposed by Professor Li. Fang Hanmin knew that it would be disrespectful to reciprocate. Besides, Lao Li is a highly respected expert. Of course, Fang Hanmin had to reciprocate, "Professor Li, although my drinking capacity is limited, I have been able to meet so many people from home and abroad today." A top pharmaceutical expert, you opened my eyes and I respect you again!"
Professor Li did not refuse, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then asked: "Chief Fang, your achievements won the first prize of the provincial scientific and technological progress award, which shows that the technical level is quite high. Just now you said that the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory is a local It is a state-owned enterprise with more than 4,000 people. It is not very large in scale. What I want to know is, is your country's first-of-its-kind technology independently developed by Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory?"
This seemingly simple question cannot be treated simply. Professor Li is a top expert in pharmaceutical technology. He knows how difficult this technology is. Let alone a small-scale enterprise, even if it is placed in a national-level scientific research center like theirs, Institutions, there are also great difficulties in developing such technology at this stage.
