Xueba starts with change

Chapter 317 The National "Ten Thousand People Plan" (5000-word chapter)
The meeting room of the State Organization Department.

An old man is here to preside over the meeting of candidates for the national "Ten Thousand Talents Program".

"It's this time of year again. I believe you have received a lot of recommendation letters. If you have any ideas, you can talk about them." The old man is a leader of the Government Affairs Council.

Because the national "Ten Thousand Talents Program" was jointly launched and implemented by 11 national departments, there must be a leader who can make decisions.

Otherwise, it's really hard to say whether the selected personnel meet the standards of the plan.

Hearing the old leader's words, Tian Ligeng, the leader of the national organization department responsible for hosting the meeting, said: "Then let's talk about the situation of the initial trial."

As he said that, Tian Ligeng turned the manuscript in his hand to a new page, and continued: "There are about 1000 candidates for selection each year, of which about 10 are outstanding talents, about 800 are leading talents, and about 200 are top-notch young talents. That is our 10-year average annual target.”

"Of course, according to the original plan, the annual quota is not limited. If there are too many outstanding talents, the quota can naturally be expanded."

"During this period, our various departments have also received a lot of recommendation letters. After the joint preliminary screening of our 11 departments, there are still 1748 people left."

"It can be said that these 1748 people are all in full compliance with the selection criteria of the national 'Ten Thousand Talents Program'. In our meeting today, we will first pass through the first batch of 263 people. Next, we will start the detailed screening of personnel according to the meeting process."

After Tian Ligeng finished speaking, he nodded to the leader of the national science and technology department. The other party understood, took Tian Ligeng's words, and said: "Then, let's sort the list according to the list and discuss the first batch of 263 people."

The leader of the national science and technology department is named Li Zhenbang. He took out the list of the first batch of candidates and began to read his name: "First of all, the first batch of three candidates for outstanding talents will be screened."

"The first one is Wang Yifang. Academician of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences, director of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences. On November 11 this year, the 9 'Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics' award ceremony was held in San Jose, California."

"As the chief scientist of the Daya Bay neutrino project, Wang Yifang won this honor, and this is the first time a Chinese scientist has won this award."

"So, Wang Yifang's selection can be said to be expected by everyone. The old leader, the joint opinion of our 11 departments also ranked her first among outstanding talents."

The old leader of the Government Affairs Council nodded slightly in agreement.

Seeing the old leader nodding in agreement, the special responsible leaders of 11 departments including Tian Ligeng and Li Zhenbang breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.

Putting Wang Yifang first is to ensure the first unanimous vote.

With the smooth passage of the first one, the following will be much smoother.

Li Zhenbang picked up a pen and recorded it, and then continued: "Then Comrade Wang Yifang is confirmed to be No.1 in the first batch of outstanding talents this year."

"Next, it's the second..."

The first batch of 3 outstanding talents this year was quickly finalized.

Almost all of them are bigwigs in various fields, and they have a pivotal position in Huaguo.

It can be said that those who qualify as outstanding talents are no longer ordinary people. They are all people whose research directions are at the forefront of world science and technology, who have made major achievements in scientific research, and have the potential to grow into world-class scientists.

This is also the reason why the number of outstanding talents in the national "Ten Thousand Talents Program" is the least.

Next, there will be a discussion on the candidates for the national "Ten Thousand Talents Program" scientific and technological innovation leading talents.

If outstanding talents are leaders in the field, then leading talents in technological innovation are those who are expected to become true leaders in the field.

Of course, compared to the fact that outstanding talents are basically in the field of scientific research, leading talents in scientific and technological innovation are not only in the field of scientific research.

This is also the reason why the number of leading scientific and technological innovation talents in the national "Ten Thousand Talents Program" is the largest.

It is also because the number of people is the largest, even if the discussion is divided into batches, according to the meeting process of the organization department, the discussion meeting of the first batch of personnel alone is scheduled for two days.

"Then let's start the discussion on candidates for the first batch of technological innovation leaders this year. This number is the largest, so there may be a lot of disputes at the meeting. Let's all be patient and share more worries with the old leaders." Li Zhenbang laughed. said.

The special responsible leaders of other departments all smiled and said: "No problem, this is what it should be. I believe we can unify our opinions."

However, when they said this, their eyes passed over the old leader inadvertently.

In the final analysis, the person who can really make the decision is the old man.

However, what they didn't expect was that the person who would really cause a big controversy was still behind.

Li Zhenbang took out the candidate list of the first batch of leading talents in scientific and technological innovation, and continued to read his name: "The first one, Fang Zhong. Deputy director and researcher of the Physics Institute of Huaguo Academy of Sciences."

"This year, Fang Zhong's team discovered Weyl fermions for the first time in experiments. Scientists believe that this discovery is of great significance to breakthroughs in disruptive technologies such as topological electronics and quantum computers."

"Moreover, this research achievement was selected as the 'Top Ten Breakthroughs of 2015' by the British "Physics World"."

"According to the screening opinions of the preliminary review, I propose to put Comrade Fang Zhong at the top of the first batch of 200 leading scientific and technological innovation talents. What do you think?"

Tian Ligeng glanced at the old leader and was the first to express his opinion: "I agree with Director Li's proposal. Although the scope of leading talents in scientific and technological innovation is relatively wide, the first place should be talents in the field of scientific research."

"On the one hand, it is consistent with our country's policies, and on the other hand, it also corresponds to the field of outstanding talents, presenting a situation of successive talents."

Following closely behind Tian Ligeng, the special leaders of other departments also expressed their opinions.

Except for only two people who said that they would look at the situation of the other candidates, the rest basically agreed to put Fang Zhong in the first position of the first batch.

Huaguo has always had unspeakable talents, especially in basic science.

What is there to hesitate now?

What should be said, Tian Ligeng has said, and the aspects they can consider are also in these two reasons.

"Old leader, what's your opinion?" Li Zhenbang asked.

The list of primary elections has been reported long ago, and the old leaders have basically read it, not to mention knowing everyone's situation.

But the information of those few people, it can be said that he has more information than the other people present.

Gently nodding, the old leader made a final decision: "You don't need to look at other people anymore. Comrade Fang Zhong can be placed first. Basic scientific research in our country needs such talents."

As soon as this sentence was said, the tone was basically set, and no one had any objections.

At the same time, such a tone must be set, and it can be regarded as a direction for subsequent discussions.

It also made Li Zhenbang's proposal more confident.

In the discussion before the meeting, when it came to the choice of who would read the name, everyone hoped that someone from the organization department would come, that is, Tian Ligeng would do it.

How should I put it, the reason is probably that the meeting chaired by your organization department will result in a proposal for the candidate to be reported, but it is inappropriate to ask people from other departments to come, isn't it?

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of responsibility for the joint selection of multiple departments.

But Tian Ligeng himself has a different opinion, just like the two considerations he mentioned just now, he thinks it would be better for people from the science and technology department to come.

After all, the person in charge of scientific research projects, the allocation of scientific research funds, the research progress of scientific research projects, and the degree of understanding of each candidate are higher than him, the special person in charge of the organization department.

Reporting to the old leaders is also more direct and more "persuasive".

Li Zhenbang wanted to refuse at first, but the head of the science and technology department talked to him once.

He found Tian Ligeng "inadvertently", and after going around for a long time, he was finally "persuaded" by Tian Ligeng.

However, Tian Ligeng "finally persuaded" Li Zhenbang after paying for a meal of wine.

As the meeting progressed, Li Zhenbang glanced at Tian Ligeng inadvertently, and thought: "Anyway, I made a good meal of wine, and when he sees through it later, let's see it through, it's nothing."

At the end of the meeting on the first day, all three candidates for the first batch of outstanding talents were confirmed, and only 3 candidates for the first batch of 200 candidates for leading scientific and technological innovation talents were finalized, leaving 143 candidates to be finalized.

As for the first batch of 60 young top-notch talents who will be the backbone of future successors, all of them are still in preparation.

This speed is actually not slow, but it is not fast either.

Of course, this is also based on the situation after the old leaders set the tone.

After the meeting, Tian Ligeng approached Li Zhenbang and said with a smile, "Old Li, am I right? People from your science and technology department should report on the candidates."

Li Zhenbang looked at Tian Ligeng, and replied with a smile: "Yes, you are right, Lao Tian. Thank you for speaking for me at the meeting."

After all, Li Zhenbang drank a lot of wine, so the so-called cannibalism is short-mouthed, so naturally he responded quickly.

In addition, it was because of the advance instructions from the head of the science and technology department that he took the initiative to take on the job.

It was already a pleasant surprise to have a drink.

Hearing Li Zhenbang's words, Tian Ligeng shook his head: "I'm not talking for you, you know I'm a businessman. What I'm talking about are all issues I really think about. Our country's basic national policy is there. The formulation of the national 'Ten Thousand People Plan' also follows the national policy."

"Now it's time for specific implementation, can we still put aside the fundamentals and follow some people?"

Li Zhenbang nodded slightly, but did not speak.

He naturally knew who Tian Ligeng was referring to, but it was better not to discuss it.

After thinking about it, Li Zhenbang turned to say, "Let's go, Lao Tian, ​​I'm basically done with the work at hand, let's have a drink?"

Tian Ligeng glanced at Li Zhenbang suspiciously: "Please?"

Li Zhenbang smiled: "I invite you!"

Tian Ligeng immediately showed joy: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go, go!"

While packing his things, Li Zhenbang said, "Wait for me to pack it up!"

The next day, the meeting for the implementation of the first batch of candidates continued.

The old leaders attended as usual, and the special leaders of the other 11 departments were all present.

Tian Ligeng presided over the meeting, and Li Zhenbang reported the list of candidates.

"At our meeting yesterday, the first batch of 3 candidates for outstanding talents and 143 candidates for leading talents in scientific and technological innovation have been confirmed. implement."

Tian Ligeng briefly talked about yesterday's meeting, and then handed over the right to speak to Li Zhenbang.

Li Zhenbang had already opened the list of candidates and was waiting, and the meeting started quickly.

A new round of discussions began on the remaining candidates for the first batch of leading talents in technological innovation.

The meeting quickly reached noon, and the candidates for the first batch of 200 leading scientific and technological innovation talents were all finalized.

With the experience of the first day, today's controversial candidates are much less.

Basically, when Li Zhenbang proposed a candidate, the special directors of each department would briefly express their opinions, and then it was confirmed.

No such controversial candidate emerged.

Many people looked at the old leader who hardly said anything, and thought that the old leader could not come?

Wait until the candidate is selected, and then hold a special discussion meeting for the controversial candidate.

Some people even think that it is enough for the old leader to come and set the tone. Basically, everyone knows what to do. If he continues to be here, it does not make much sense to listen to the discussion in the meeting.

Of course, except for Li Zhenbang, probably no one knows the real intention of this old leader of the Government Affairs Council to come here and attend the meeting.

However, even Li Zhenbang, the top leader of the science and technology department, who took instructions, did not expect that the old leader would attend the whole meeting.

At the end of the morning meeting, the organization department arranged lunch and a rest area after the meal.

According to the meeting procedure, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the discussion of the first batch of top young talents of the National "Ten Thousand Talents Program" will start on time.

Due to the tense meeting process, everyone knows that there is not much time to rest.

It is just because of the presence of the old leader that many people are worried about the arrangement of such a meeting. Is it appropriate?Do you need to adjust the timing of your meeting?

But before one o'clock in the afternoon, the old leader appeared in the meeting room, chatting cheerfully with Li Zhenbang about the national "Ten Thousand People Plan".

The revitalization of a country lies in the cultivation of talents, especially young talents.

For people at the level of veteran leaders, they understand this truth even more deeply.

Therefore, before the others came, he also did some ideological work for Li Zhenbang.

Ask him to open up his mind and make the recommendation of talents bolder.

Li Zhenbang was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and soon after he understood what the old leader meant, he also verified his guess.

Li Zhenbang immediately assured the old leader that he would absolutely follow the country's basic national policy.

The old leader gave Li Zhenbang a meaningful look, and stopped talking.

As the time came to a point, all participants arrived and the meeting started on time.

There is only one main agenda in the afternoon, and that is to finalize the remaining, the first batch of candidates for the top young talents of the national "Ten Thousand Talents Program" this year.

"With regard to the selection of young top-notch talents, it is different from the previous two talent plans. We need to look at this plan from a more far-reaching perspective. Therefore, I hope that everyone can actively express their opinions and discuss more, so that true knowledge can emerge. Well."

At the beginning of the meeting, the old leader said directly.

Hearing the old leader's words, except for Li Zhenbang, everyone else looked surprised.

This is different from the candidates for the first two talent plans, isn't it?

But the question mark is the question mark. The meeting has already started, so we can only wait and see.

The old leader signaled that Li Zhenbang could start.

During the meeting, Li Zhenbang looked at the candidates' information and said, "The first one is Zhou Xin. Deputy Director of Huaguo Jiangcheng Institute of Physics and Mathematics."

"The ultra-sensitive magnetic resonance research team led by Zhou Xin is the only research team in China that has carried out hyperpolarized gas lung MRI imaging. He led the team through five years of research, and this year obtained my country's first hyperpolarized hernia—129 human lungs. MRI image."

"It can be detected early and comprehensively evaluate the function of the lungs. This technology is expected to achieve clinical application in the next 3 to 5 years."

"According to the screening opinions of the preliminary review, I propose to put Comrade Zhou Xin at the top of the first batch of 60 top-notch young talents. What do you think?"

As soon as Li Zhenbang finished speaking, the meeting room began to speak one after another, which was much more heated than the previous meeting.

However, although the special leaders of various departments talked more, there was not much difference in the overall opinions.

First, this is a breakthrough in basic scientific research.

Second, this is technology that benefits people.

For a long time, domestic MRI imaging technology has lagged behind the international level.

Most of the MRI equipment in domestic large tertiary hospitals are imported.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with this nomination.

Seeing that the old leader did not express any different views, the quota was confirmed.

The second person proposed by Li Zhenbang was Yan Ning, the youngest professor and doctoral supervisor of Shuimu University.

In February of this year, Yan Ning won the 2 "Young Scientist Award" from the International Protein Society for his outstanding contributions in the field of structural biology of transmembrane material transport.

In October, she received the Sackler International Biophysics Prize.

Her research results provide the possibility of "starving cancer cells" for many years.

For Li Zhenbang's second nomination, the discussion was louder than the first one.

Mainly focus on Yan Ning's age and qualifications.

However, with the decision of the old leader, all the disputes disappeared.

"Age and qualifications are only a matter of time. For outstanding scientists, we must pay enough attention!"

The old leader made a final decision, and the second candidate was also confirmed.

The heads of special departments of various departments who caused the controversy thought that there were only a few young professors, and not many could be nominated, and there should be fewer follow-up disputes.

As a result, Li Zhenbang's third nomination instantly blew up the meeting room.

"The third one is Chen Zhou. He is currently a sophomore in the Department of Mathematics and Department of Physics of Yenching University."

"In September this year, Chen Zhou completed the proof of the Hail Conjecture. In November this year, he was invited to participate in the MIT Mathematics Conference, where he completed the proof of Krammel's Conjecture and proposed a distribution deconstruction method. "

"This method is generally considered by the mathematics community to be the third largest method in the field of number theory alongside the sieve method and the circle method, and it has been called an 'opportunity for analytic number theory' by many internationally renowned mathematicians."

"Student Chen Zhou had a lot of controversy during the preliminary screening. But I still propose to put Chen Zhou in the third place among the first batch of 60 top-notch young talents."

Tian Ligeng looked at Li Zhenbang who had finished nominating, and was stunned.

Originally, according to the opinions discussed before the meeting, Chen Zhou was the last one to discuss.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhenbang "made the decision without authorization" and advanced Chen Zhou's name to the top three.

This courage is not insignificant.

But after thinking about it, Tian Ligeng subconsciously turned his attention to the old leader who was watching everyone's discussion with a straight face.

　I'm sorry, I really have something to do in the past two days, so I will make up for it in the past few days
