Chapter 1150 A Good Team
Another student asked, "Professor, are there any other reasons?"
Professor Li replied, "Yes, that is energy security. Our country has a huge demand for oil, not only for transportation but also for many products in the chemical industry. However, our country's oil production is not high, and most of it has to be imported from abroad. Energy security is a key focus for future development."
"If we can reduce people's use of oil for travel, then more oil can be used in the chemical industry, which can reduce energy dependence to some extent. In addition, many of us believe that electricity will be cheap in the future, and nuclear power, solar power, wind power and other fields will develop rapidly."
"Finally, there's the demand for transportation. People don't need it to be as fast, but they need it to be safer and more convenient. That's why electric bicycles have such a promising future. Look, a large investment company in Shenzhen has already set its sights on our project."
Zhao Fang asked, "Teacher, is this Sifangdao Investment Company very powerful?"
Professor Li smiled and said, "We usually keep in touch by phone for emergencies and QQ for non-emergency matters. This method is becoming more and more common. QQ is invested in by Sifangdao, and it's just one of their businesses. In addition, Mayor Xu also told me a statistic: this company has no failed investments; all of them have been successful."
Professor Li used this opportunity to encourage everyone, saying that hope is the source of motivation.
Sure enough, after Professor Li finished speaking, the students' eyes lit up: "Teacher, that's great! What do you think of the bicycle I designed that uses our batteries?"
Professor Li took it and looked at it, nodding slightly: "There's been progress compared to last time. According to our design requirements, electric vehicles not only need to be labor-saving, but also faster than bicycles, so we need to do careful calculations. We are a team, and if we work together, we can strive to get this electric vehicle project up and running as soon as possible, apply for patents, and then put it into production. Everyone will be a contributor and will receive substantial rewards."
Zhao Fang said excitedly, "Teacher, we will work hard! I think the design of electric vehicles requires safety, energy saving and sufficient power internally, while the appearance needs to be more aesthetically pleasing, while ensuring a certain level of safety."
Professor Li wholeheartedly agreed: "Well said. You should all prepare your presentations. By coming out with me this time, everyone will have a chance to shine. Whether you leave my team or stay in the future, this will be a valuable experience."
Teachers these days still have some bottom lines when leading teams.
Although some of the ideas or project priorities were proposed by the teachers, the students also did a lot of work, especially in terms of details and experiments.
To lead a team effectively, the leader must not only be highly capable but also know how to foster unity. Success should be shared with the students. Having good teachers truly benefits students, bringing tangible rewards such as financial rewards and recognition.
Like Professor Xie, he's truly good to his students. If it's Professor Xie's idea and he participates in the research, then the results will be primarily attributed to him, but the participating students will also be listed as authors, and they won't lack money or recognition. If it's a student's idea, and Professor Xie deems it feasible after reviewing it, he will genuinely provide financial and logistical support to help the student, and the final results will belong to the student, with Professor Xie only serving as a mentor.
Over the years, apart from the female student who betrayed Professor Xie after being deceived by a man because of her romantic obsession, the other students have treated Professor Xie like an elder, just like their parents.
Parents support their children in life, while Professor Xie supports them in their studies and careers. Whether these students go abroad or work in large pharmaceutical companies or universities in China, they all remember Professor Xie's kindness.
Every year, except for Qingming Festival, Professor Xie receives gifts from students all over the country and even the world during various holidays.
Some might be a postcard, some a bag of candy, and others a beautiful silk scarf...
Professor Xie has such a good reputation that many students apply to his graduate program every year, but unfortunately, he has limited energy and cannot accept so many.
This year, at the dean's strong request, he took on five more graduate students.
Professor Xie initially refused, but the dean almost cried and said many kind words, but Professor Xie remained unmoved. Finally, the dean said, "The motherland needs you to cultivate more outstanding pharmaceutical talents and break through foreign technological monopolies."
Since things had come to this point, Professor Xie had no choice but to agree, but he insisted that students must have genuine talent and skills, and resolutely refused to accept students who were just coasting along or relying on connections.
The dean will agree to any conditions as long as Professor Xie agrees to take on more students.
Of course, there are good teachers, and there are those who aren't so noble. But in most cases, however, students will receive either money or fame. For students, as long as they can learn something, they're willing to accept either.
Some professors are disgusting; they want money and fame, and their students are like free "nuclear-powered donkeys." These people only offer ideas, then have students implement them and claim the results for themselves.
Some students, for the sake of their diplomas, had no choice but to swallow their anger, while secretly cursing the other party's ancestors. Some even did things that could not be undone, ruining their promising futures.
Greed is the original sin, especially when you have some power or influence. Always remember to leave yourself a way out. Leaving a way out for others is also leaving a way out for yourself.
After all, none of us have guns. If things really come to a head, it's basically a life-for-life situation in a one-on-one fight.
These students were fortunate to have met Professor Li. They not only learned a lot but also earned money. In some ways, Professor Li and Professor Xie were the same type of good teacher.
So, without guidance, choosing a mentor is harder than being born into the right family; both ability and luck are indispensable.
The other side had eight people, plus Xu Feng, making nine. Liu Meilan's side had Liu Yiwen, Ye Qiang, and a finance staff member.
There were thirteen people in total, and they chose a small meeting room so that everyone could hear each other clearly without microphones.
Liu Meilan stood at the door and saw Xu Feng bring his men in. She asked, "Comrade Xu, hello! Is this Professor Li and his team that you praised so highly?"
Hearing Liu Meilan's words, Xu Feng was very pleased: "Yes, Ms. Liu. This is Professor Li, and these are his students and team members. They have made many achievements and discoveries in battery research and electric vehicle design."
Liu Meilan shook hands with Professor Li, her attitude respectful: "Hello Professor Li, hello everyone! Please come in."
This is a round table, with a projector, blackboard, and other equipment behind the main seat.
After everyone was seated, the support staff specifically asked if they wanted tea or coffee. After everyone had answered, Zhao Fang learned that Liu Meilan actually wanted milk tea. As the only woman in the team, she didn't like either tea or coffee, so she also ordered a cup of milk tea.
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Our company's milk tea is made with milk and tea. Do you prefer coconut jelly or tapioca pearls?"
Zhao Fang said gracefully, "I like pearls. They're bouncy and delicious."
