As the southernmost sea outlet in the northeast, Dagang itself has quite sufficient geographical advantages. Whether it is its location, its port throughput and mooring capacity, it can be said that it is outstanding among the ports of the Bohai Bay.

With the prosperity of the Bohai Rim Economic Belt, Dagang's geographical advantages are being transformed into economic advantages, which has led to the rapid prosperity of this coastal city.

Xinke's investment does not have an advantage in Dagang, and in fact, there is no shortage of heavyweight investors here.

For example, Intel invested $500 million in Dagang last year and built the largest chip packaging factory in China.

Toyota moved part of the powertrain production to Dagang, and employees of a factory hired more than 2,000 people.

Mitsubishi has put into production of a refrigerator and air conditioner compressor production line in Dagang. This factory alone accounts for more than 20% of the domestic compressor market.

There are many similar companies, and a large part of Dagang's economy is composed of these foreign-funded enterprises. In Dagang, there are also many growing domestic companies.

Some of them rely on the upstream and downstream chains of the foreign asset industry, some are optimistic about Dagang's location advantages, and some are based on the development of local resources.

In a sub-provincial city like Dagang, it is hard to imagine that a company can have an absolute advantage in its economic size.

But even so, Hu Wenhai would never worry about Xinke's investment environment in Dagang.

Through China Railway Construction Investment, Xinke's industries invested in Dagang are mainly concentrated in heavy industry and basic materials fields.

The fact that Dagang can attract so much foreign investment is inseparable from the demonstration effect of this part of the investment projects.

If it weren't for Xinke Fabs investing in the first chip packaging factory in Dagang, how could Intel follow the investment? Toyota's powertrain factory was attracted by the cost of raw materials in the Bohai Rim Industrial Belt. Not to mention Mitsubishi's compressor production line, the first compressor production line in Dagang was actually Hu Wenhai fooled it from Japan.

There are many similar situations. Xinke does not have very obvious advantages in economic data, but in fact it has a significant influence in Dagang.

In this case, what foods in the local area will cause damage to the new industry?

The cooperative units that are actually responsible for operating these basic industries will not be careless. Not to mention Hu Wenhai's current influence in China, it is enough for the bosses of state-owned enterprises to be susceptible to it. Just talking about China Railway Construction Investment's ability to manage investment projects, it must clean up accounts and evaluate its operating status every few days. When profitability declines slightly, inspections and investigations from all parties will follow one after another.

Don’t forget that China Railway Construction Investment is the biological son of the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Railways has its own public security, procuratorial and judicial team.

Who dared to touch the boss's butt and tail after eating the courage of the bear heart?

Although Hu Wenhai cannot guarantee that the employees below have no clean hands and feet, at least they can guarantee that the main leadership teams of a large project are combat-effective.

As long as the upper beam is straight and the lower beam is crooked, it will not be crooked.

After a week of visiting, Hu Wenhai probably looked at all the investment projects in the Dagang area. Overall, the production situation is satisfactory. This kind of sudden inspection will definitely not be able to see things that are too in-depth. However, as long as you make sure that the equipment has indeed been installed and the production capacity meets the standards, these things that cannot be faked are enough.

What's more, to be honest, most of these basic industrial equipment are major state-owned enterprises and central enterprises purchase on behalf of the company. After repaying the equipment and investment costs, the property rights relationship of these projects will be transferred to their operators. Even in order to receive the project as soon as possible, the operating unit will spare no effort to create value.

As for the PX chemical project entrusted to Sinopec, although the equipment and funds were invested by Xinke, Sinopec itself has also made huge investments. It not only mobilized elite troops in the system, but also coordinated the resources in the system to tilt. For example, the supply of chemical raw materials, including petroleum, coal tar, ethanol and acetone, these bulk raw materials are only able to supply two barrels of oil.

If you have more than ten or billions of dollars in assets, even if the person in charge of the project has any thoughts, you will have to wait until you pay off the debts of China Railway Construction Investment before you can start. So at least in the next five or six years, the operation of these large chemical projects will never go wrong.

After walking around Dagang, it was already the National Day period in 1991. When Hu Wenhai thought that there were probably still queues in the embroidery city to see each other, he could only stay in Dagang, hoping to hide for a while.

"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, how loud the song of victory is"

Listening to the singing coming from the loudspeaker, all signs indicate that the National Day of New China in 1991 has arrived.

Today's National Day is not like later, with a full seven-day holiday. Even when there is no weekend, it's like the New Year without having to go to work on National Day.

Of course, if some units have to go to work on National Day, it will be even more enviable. Workers never worry about not having a vacation or just worry about not having a job. They don’t have time to take a holiday until National Day, so the factory’s benefits will definitely be very good.

Such a job will not only not make workers complain, but will instead make people from other units envious.

"Should the plane arrive?"

Hu Wenhai looked at his watch and asked the airport staff again without getting tired of asking. The inquired reception staff quickly trotted out and asked, and then ran back with a surprise smile.

"It's here, it's here, Mr. Hu, the plane has landed and you can pick it up soon."

"Appoint them to get off the plane first and take special passages, and be sure to properly ensure the safety of personnel!"

Hu Wenhai stood up and nodded to the group of people who had been impatient next to him. Everyone quickly stood up and began to carefully organize their clothes and expressions.

"Director" Lu Xin was a little nervous. She tidied her hair, stood up pretty, and followed a middle-aged man who looked like he was in his forties: "Are we waiting here, Academician Katomtsev..."

"Let's go, don't let people wait for too long." The middle-aged man shook his head, turned to look at Hu Wenhai, and said, "Mr. Hu, I understand Kathomtsev. What we should show sincerity now, not to them take advantage of the situation. This is unfair to an outstanding scientist."

"I'll listen to you, Director Wan." Hu Wenhai nodded and began to give orders to the airport staff: "Please find more people and prepare some ceremonies when picking up the plane. Let's go to the tarmac now. The pick-up specifications are higher. Do you understand?"

"Yes, let's prepare now."

...

Katomtsev took a flight from Gongqingcheng to Dagang, and now there are direct flights from Gongqingcheng and Khabarovsk every day. Even so, the capacity still seems very insufficient.

Some Soviet/Russians who came to China either couldn't buy air tickets or could not afford air tickets. They could only take cheaper railways to enter China from the Sino-Soviet port. Most of the people who could take planes had air tickets that were affordable for public expenses, but with the economic conditions of both China and the Soviet Union, most exchange personnel could only afford ordinary economy class seats at most.

However, Katomtsev made the first class and arrived in Dagang.

As soon as the flight from Gongqingcheng Feidagang landed, the flight attendants immediately set off and stood in the aisles on both sides of the passengers.

"Sorry, please do not get up and do unnecessary movements. Please sit in your seat. Please place your hands on the back of the front seat..."

"I'm sorry, please don't get up, all passengers..."

"sorry……"

Looking at the usual gentle flight attendants, the fierce and eyeing each other, the big men of the combat race full of planes suddenly became nervous. This is not the case in China thirty years later, when someone dares to throw coins into the engine when taking off the plane. At least those who can take off are people from some social backgrounds, and the most basic observation of words and expressions is still worth the price.

Nowadays, if you don’t do it, you will be “treated” in minutes. The state organs in 1991 were full of deterrence, and obviously no one was the so-called “socialist giant baby” who was not open to his eyes.

The passengers obediently put their hands on the back of the front seat to ensure that their hands appeared in the sight of the flight attendant. It was not until the flight attendant reported one by one that they had ensured safety that a team of people protected a Russian from the first class and quickly moved to the front of the aircraft's cabin door.

Katomtev took a breath of the air outside the cabin with some novelty, which was a bit humid and a little salty. This was a completely different taste from his hometown. He came to China all the way, hoping that this would not be a wrong choice for him.

As soon as Katomtsev stepped onto the gangway, the sound of the athlete's march rang.

"Harashow!Harashow!"

The flight attendants standing on both sides of the gangway lined up to deliver flowers to Katomtev's arms. A loud applause sounded, and anyone knew that the one who was greeted must be a big shot.

"Who is this person?"

"Depending on this posture, it's probably a big deal?"

"The Chinese side attaches great importance to it. Oh, I don't know what to sell it again!"

Looking at the grand welcome ceremony outside the cabin, a quiet discussion sounded in the cabin. People looked at Katomtsev, some envious, some contempt, and some people wanted to replace him.

"These officials are the ones who can sell them at the price, and we can't even sell them at the price! It's really unfair!"

Of course, Hu Wenhai would not hear these discussions. He was standing beside Director Wan, looking up and down curiously at the Soviet Academy of Sciences. Director Wan was giving simple greetings to Katomtev in fluent English. It seemed that the two sides had already communicated, and the atmosphere was warm and just right, without causing the other party to feel resistant.

"Academician Katomtsev, let me introduce it to you. Comrade Hu Wenhai is the main sponsor of the HT-7 project transformation. Our non-circular cross-section full-superconducting Tokamak program was able to be established mainly because of his support."

"Oh, Comrade Hu Wenhai from China, I have heard of it a long time ago!"

Katomtev stretched out his hand with great enthusiasm and held it hard with Hu Wenhai. Although the old man's hair was gray, his hand was surprisingly strong, and he was grinning with some porcelain teeth.

“Our family is very grateful for the nemart shopping vouchers you gave you, and if it weren’t for them, our days would have been very sad.”

Hu Wenhai looked at the old man's eyes and said very seriously: "Compared with the achievements you have made for mankind, I must say that what I have done is not enough."

"If you can come to Dagang this time, please give me a chance. Today is our National Day, and I hope to invite you to participate in our celebration."

"Thank you, this is my honor!" Katomtev nodded happily, which was considered a matter of communication between the two sides.

"Hello Academician Katomtsev, I am Lu Xin, and I will serve you during your stay in China." Lu Xin stood beside Director Wan Xi, seized the opportunity and showed her face, and received Katomtsev's praise again.

China's enthusiasm for welcome work, but Katomtsev put his attitude very low.

The t-7 device is a Tokamak nuclear fusion theory verification device manufactured by the Kurchatov Atomic Energy Research Institute in the Soviet Union, which is used to verify whether the idea of ​​Tokamak nuclear fusion can be realized. Academician Katomtev is the director of the Kurchatov Institute and a leader in the field of nuclear fusion in the Soviet Union.

In fact, as early as 1990, because the research funds were unsustainable, Katomtsev had contacted the China Plasma Research Institute, hoping to give the T-7 device to China for free.

Because compared to the Soviet Union, China has at least some investment in the field of nuclear fusion, which can maintain the T-7 device.

Wan Xi, director of the Plasma Institute, immediately agreed to the suggestion and obtained a sum of funds to prepare to install a series of experimental equipment to further transform the T-7 device into ht-7, so that it can not only verify the theory, but also carry out engineering verification experiments.

As long as the ht-7 device is successfully transformed, China will become the first echelon of nuclear fusion research and development and become the fourth international superconducting tokamak device to be built. It is precisely because of the experience and success accumulated in the ht-7 device that China has the confidence to invest huge amounts of money in the future to build the world's most promising east nuclear fusion device with output energy greater than input energy.

Compared with those who gave Soviet technology to exchange for glory and prosperity, Academician Katomtsev is worthy of being a scientist. He chose to hand over the cause he fought for with his Chinese counterparts purely out of his public responsibility to mankind.
