Fang Jiansheng is a doctor who has studied abroad. He can also be regarded as a returned scholar with profound knowledge. Recently, he applied for the position of chief engineer at Jiuzhou Industrial (Group) Co., Ltd. At the beginning of his tenure, Chairman He Yu instructed General Manager Di Yunsheng to request Fang Jiansheng to preside over the research and development of the DSA patented product invented by researcher Li Xinyi of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as soon as possible. A few days ago, the original chief engineer's contract expired, and due to his mediocre performance during his tenure, Jiuzhou Company fired him and specially hired Dr. Fang Jiansheng, who had studied abroad, as chief engineer with a high salary. At the same time, the company spent a lot of money to purchase the patent production rights of researcher Li Xinyi of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with the intention of turning this patent into an industry and monopolizing the market. The important task of developing this innovative project naturally fell on the shoulders of Chief Engineer Fang Jiansheng.
After Fang Jiansheng took over, in less than a month, he was responsible for installing the product's production equipment and turning the production technology and process blueprint into reality. In addition, he also completed the calculation of the safety factor of the high-voltage package and started the entire production line only after the high-voltage package was successfully tested. The commissioning of this production line marks that Jiuzhou Company's technical means in the field of DSA production have reached the world's advanced level.
With everything ready, Fang Jiansheng submitted a written report to General Manager Di Yunsheng, recommending a board meeting and requesting the board of directors to approve the high-voltage package test run he planned. But the board of directors was held twice, but there was still no result. The reason is that someone on the board of directors suggested that relevant experts should be invited to review Fang Jiansheng's report to see if the conditions for trial operation are currently met? In particular, the board recommended that the safety factors of high-voltage packages be verified and calculated. At the meeting, some directors proposed to invite researcher Li Xinyi, the inventor of the DSA patent, to serve as the leader of the expert group. Others raised objections, saying that researcher Li Xinyi should recuse himself and Professor Smith, an internationally renowned technical authority, should be invited to serve as the leader of the expert group.
The board of directors made the final decision: to invite Professor Smith to serve as the leader of the expert group and to hire him as the company’s technical consultant. Smith accepted the invitation very happily. As soon as he arrived in China, he signed an employment contract with Jiuzhou Company, and the company also issued a letter of employment specifically for him. Smith is a biracial person and a very dedicated international DSA technical authority. After accepting the appointment, he personally programmed the computer, repeatedly considered and re-determined various design parameters of the high-voltage package. After his calculation, the safety factor of the high-voltage package was 0.82, while Fang Jiansheng's calculation was 1.38. Relevant specification requirements: If the safety factor of the high-voltage package is greater than 1.0, the high-voltage package is safe and can be tested. If the safety factor is less than 1.0, it is unsafe and must not be tested. Therefore, Smith refused to sign the "passed review" opinion letter, and the expert group headed by him decisively rejected Fang Jiansheng's test run application report.
Fang Jiansheng questioned Smith’s veto. He believed that there was something wrong with Smith’s parameter values. Because the material of the high-pressure package is the internationally recognized RA material, this material does not deform under high temperature and pressure. In other words, from the selection of this material to the production of this material, the technology is very mature. In addition, Smith's pressure parameter value is 25MPa. Fang Jiansheng believes that this value far exceeds the actual pressure inside the high-pressure package. He believes that the upper limit of the internal pressure of the high-pressure package is 22 MPa. In the face of a stalemate, the board of directors invited researcher Li Xinyi, the inventor of the DSA patent, to review Fang Jiansheng's report with the expert group. After Li Xinyi arrived at the company, after repeatedly studying the parameter values ??of the two people, he believed that Smith not only had problems with parameter values, but also had errors in computer programming. After hearing this, Smith rejected Li Xinyi's conclusion and refused to admit any fault on his part.
Half a month has passed and several rounds of review meetings have been held, but the opinions of all parties are still not unanimous. There was no other way, so researcher Li Xinyi re-programmed a computer program. He input the parameter values ??of Fang Jiansheng and Smith into the computer respectively, and the calculated results were astonishing! It turns out that Fang Jiansheng's safety factor is not bad at all, it is still 1.38, while Smith's safety factor is 1.27. In other words, even if Smith's pressure value is 25MPa, Fang Jiansheng's design is reasonable and the test run is safe.
This result also surprised Smith himself. That night, he checked his computer program overnight. Finally, he found that in the program he programmed, there was a parameter in the denominator of the formula that should be the square root of the formula, but he had omitted the square root in the programming.
When Smith discovered this mistake, he almost collapsed in the hotel. Unable to forgive his mistake, he immediately called Chairman He Yu and General Manager Di Yunsheng to apologize. Because of the delay of half a month, it caused at least 30 million yuan in economic losses to Jiuzhou Company!
Early the next morning, Fang Jiansheng and Li Xinyi went to Smith's room to invite him to have breakfast with him. When they arrived at Smith's room, the door was open, but Smith was nowhere to be seen, and there was no one in the bathroom. Fang Jiansheng guessed that Smith might have gone for a walk outdoors, so he prepared to go outside to find him. At this time, Fang Jiansheng suddenly found a note on Smith's desk, which wrote a paragraph in English:
Dear Chinese experts and gentlemen of Jiuzhou Company:
Because I My carelessness has caused huge economic losses to Jiuzhou Company. For this, I would like to express my apology to you all. As the company's technical consultant, I also voluntarily resigned and assumed relevant responsibilities.
Wish you good luck!
Smith!
At this time, General Manager Di Yunsheng also arrived. When he saw the note, he sighed and said: We are too fond of foreign things! I trust this mixed race expert so much!
When Fang Jiansheng heard Di Yunsheng subtly scolding Smith, he suddenly remembered a sentence in the employment contract: During the period of employment of the company's employees, if the company causes significant economic losses or damages due to personal reasons When improving the company's image, you should take the initiative to leave and assume relevant responsibilities. But what happens when someone leaves office? Who will bear the company’s loss of 30 million yuan? Fang Jiansheng thought about it and suddenly shook his head.
