"Just last year, the Utah smelter in the United States expanded its smelting capacity to 300,000 t/a and began to use new technologies such as flash smelting furnaces and flash blowing furnaces."

"Just such a technological innovation alone has increased the sulfur capture rate of its entire plant to 99.9%, greatly reducing pollution in the steel plant."

Zhao Guoyang turned his eyes around and sighed: "And in our country, even the cleanest steel manufacturer, Angang Group, is less than 30%..."

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's example, the entrepreneurs in the audience couldn't help but look at Tu Zhixing, chairman of Angang Group.

Everyone felt a little embarrassed to see it, Tu Zhixing couldn't help but mutter to Meng Guoliang beside him: "Old Meng, I said the researcher Zhao you know is too thief, and he transferred the 'hate' to me in an instant!"

After hearing this, Meng Guoliang smiled slightly: "Old Tu, Researcher Zhao is talking about you Angang, but he is actually praising you, because your Angang is indeed the best in China in terms of environmental protection!"

Tu Zhixing felt a little relieved after Meng Guoliang said this.

Zhao Guoyang gave two examples and talked about the importance of research and development of new smelting technologies to the steel industry, and his speech was not far behind.

He finally called out: "I am very excited to be lucky enough to attend such an important meeting today and said some excessive words. I hope that the leaders and colleagues here will be more grateful."

"But what I can assure you is that my original intention is the same as everyone else, and I hope that our China metallurgical industry can catch up with the international advanced level as soon as possible."

After bowing to everyone, Zhao Guoyang finally spoke: "That's all I want to say, thank you everyone!"

After he sat down, the applause from the audience rang out loud.

Everyone applauded vigorously, applauding the wonderful speech of the young attendee.

Indeed, Zhao Guoyang's three speeches just now, the content of each lecture was different, which made people admire the young man's profound knowledge of metal smelting.

On the rostrum, Lin Yuan was completely conquered by Zhao Guoyang's achievements in metallurgical technology.

The chief engineer glanced at Li Kejian who was smiling beside him and couldn't help asking: "Old Li, who is this researcher Zhao? Where did you discover such a talent?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this young man is probably not only very proficient in steel smelting, but also has some profound attainments in the ship industry and railway industry!"

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, Li Kejian nodded with a smile, but did not explain much.

Being a little itchy by Mr. Li's "pretending to be mysterious", Lin Yuan whispered and said, "Mr. Li, can you tell me what is the origin of this researcher Zhao? Can our Ministry of Metallurgical Industry take him under his command?"

Director Hong Wenbin, who was not far away, couldn't help but sneer after hearing this: "General Engineer Lin, it's too late to think of attacking Guoyang now! He has been 'trapped' by Mr. Li's Ministry of Mechanical and Electronics Industry!"

"Yes, yes, Zhao Guoyang was hired as a 'special researcher' by the Ministry of Mechanical and Electronics Industry in the morning. General Engineer Lin, you, the Ministry of Metallurgical and Industrial, are one step late!" Leader Jia Zhichun also added jealousy.

After being squeezed by these two bigwigs at the same time, Lin Yuan could only look at his leader Chen Xianshang for help.

Chen Xianshang looked at Director Hong and Leader Jia around him with some curiosity, and asked in confusion: "Leader Jia, Director Hong, since this researcher Zhao is the Ministry of Mechanical and Electronics Industry of Mr. Li, why do you two seem to be so familiar with him?"

After hearing this, Jia Zhichun and Hong Wenbin looked at each other, both of which were tacitly understood.

Jia Zhichun said casually: "Ah, Leader Chen, this matter is a long story! Look, everyone is still waiting in the audience now. Let's finish the meeting first and then talk about other things!"

Of course, Chen Xianshang saw something tricky, but Jia Zhichun's words also made sense. In desperation, he could only listen to the other party's advice and preside over the meeting first.

At this time, the applause gradually subsided. The boss moved the microphone to himself and coughed: "Comrades, the speech of this researcher Zhao just now was very exciting and very popular!"

"I believe that with an outstanding young man like Researcher Zhao who works hard for China's metallurgical industry, we will definitely be able to catch up with the advanced level of Europe and the United States."

Speaking of this, Chen Xianshang stopped his eyes on Zhao Guoyang.

Looking at this young man who is not surprised by his favor and disgrace, he likes the more he looks at it.

"In addition, Researcher Zhao just mentioned that his 'Ship Manufacturing-Special Materials' Institute is innovating new technologies for railway rails."

"Here, on behalf of our Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, I will fully support Researcher Zhao's research institute in the future."

Chen Xianshang said with a solemn look: "This support is not only about funds and policies, but also about personnel, equipment, inspection and testing, etc. We will give Researcher Zhao's research institute as convenient as possible!"

After hearing Leader Chen’s statement, the audience was in an uproar.

You should know that the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry has great constraints on steel manufacturing enterprises in many aspects such as inspection and testing.

It’s like a steel company is awesome, but if your product needs to be issued an inspection report, the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry must first pass the review.

Now, the words of Leader Chen are equivalent to giving this researcher Zhao’s “research institute” a great convenience. This is definitely not comparable to some funding and policy support.

Zhao Guoyang was also very surprised by Leader Chen's love, and a hint of gratitude appeared on his face.

After Leader Chen made a summary of the words, the meeting was almost over.

Finally, the deputy leader Zhu Xinmin announced several awards for the metallurgical system of the year.

Among them, Baosteel Group, Songjiang No. 5 Iron and Steel Plant, Ansteel Group, Benxi Iron and Steel Company, and Shagang Group were rated as "National User Satisfaction Enterprises".

The cold-rolled deep-printed plates for automobiles produced by Baosteel Group, the hot-rolled ribbed steel bars of Shangsteel Factory No. 3, the cast pig iron produced by Shasteel Group, and the hot-rolled steel for automobile rims produced by Ansteel were rated as "National User Satisfaction Products".

In terms of patents, Zhao Guoyang and his research institute achieved great success.

The five patents that the metallurgical system won the China Patent Excellence Award, three of which were included in his research institute.

They are "Heat Treatment Methods and Devices for Production of High-Strength Steel Rails", "Exhaust-Furt Short Landslide Outside the Furnace", and "Blast Furnace Ring Bridge Crane".

The "Three-stage vertical oxygen machine with anhydrous bottled oxygen" and "Hydraulic Dwarf Mud Cannon" invented by Panzhihua Iron and Steel Company and other units divided the remaining two items.

In addition, among the 178 advanced units and 200 advanced individuals commended by the National Audit Office, 22 units and 8 individuals in the metallurgical system were commended.

Among the eight individuals who were commended were Zhao Guoyang and Shen Zhirong of Shagang Group.

When Zhao Guoyang came to the stage to take the certificate from leader Chen Xianshang, the warmest applause since the opening of the conference sounded from the audience.

After the meeting, Zhao Guoyang was chatting with Chairman Shen Zhirong and was about to leave one by one, a staff member trotted over.

"Researcher Zhao, please stay. Leader Chen asked you to go over and have something to talk to you!"

Zhao Guoyang was stunned for a moment, but Shen Zhirong next to him was already reminding him: "Mr. Zhao, what are you going to do when you are still standing there? You can't let the leader wait in a hurry, go quickly."

"Uh, okay, then Chairman Shen, I'll go there first. You don't have to wait for me, I may have to delay in the capital for a few more days!" Zhao Guoyang said embarrassedly.

"Okay, I know Mr. Zhao, you are busy! Then let's see you back?" Shen Zhirong waved his hands with Zhao Guoyang with a smile, and slowly walked out of the conference room door.

Watching the old man leave, Zhao Guoyang then apologized to the staff waiting around him and followed him toward another exit.

The staff member took Zhao Guoyang out of the conference hall and walked around to a small living room.

After entering, Zhao Guoyang saw several big guys sitting there chatting.

"Ha, our researcher Zhao has arrived!"

As soon as he saw Zhao Guoyang coming in, leader Chen Xianshang happily reached out to him and smiled.

Then Zhu Xinmin and Lin Yuan also chatted with Zhao Guoyang with a few words.

On the other hand, the three big bosses Li Kejian, Jia Zhichun and Hong Wenbin were leisurely watching the three "hosts" of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry show their attentiveness to Zhao Guoyang, and seemed to have guessed that this would be the scene.

After the greetings, Leader Chen first expressed his opinion: "Researcher Zhao, our Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, I want to say sorry to you! I just knew that your research institute existed before, but I have not taken it seriously. It's really inappropriate!"

"Yes, if it weren't for this meeting, our department might have missed a top talent in the metallurgical industry!" Chief Engineer Lin Yuan also nodded repeatedly.

"But it's not too late!"

Zhu Xinmin also said, "Researcher Zhao raised his anger to our Ministry of Metallurgical Industry at the meeting today. We must not let such talents be buried..."

After listening to the singing and reunion of these people, Director Hong next to him was happy: "I said Lao Chen, Lao Zhu, General Manager Lin, you three should not do useless work here."
