Chapter 631 Microcrystalline Set Sail (Please Subscribe!)

October 22.

U.S.

Seattle.

This is a city on the Pacific coast of Washington State.

It is also an important technology industry cluster in the United States, where large and small high-tech enterprises are distributed.

The headquarters of Microchip Technology is located in the southeastern suburbs of Seattle, which is a huge factory area covering an area of ​​100 acres. The production, R&D, and management departments of Microcrystalline Technology are all here.

Just one office each in downtown Seattle and New York.

Eight fifteen in the morning.

The two vice presidents of Microchip Technology and the managers of various departments stood at the gate.

They stood in the shadow of the huge arch, and it was not too hot.

All of them are in suits and leather shoes. Except for the director of the laboratory, who is African-American, all the others are white. Today is the day when the new president takes office, and they dare not neglect.

Don't look at American freedom.

But the workplace culture remains the same.

They are also very helpless. This company is sold by the rich as a toy, only as a game of capital, but this is their job, even their dream, and Americans hate changing bosses.

Except for money.

They also want what they do to have value.

However, these values ​​are often used by capital as a bargaining chip to obtain greater capital, even in the hands of Ge Feng, a Chinese.

therefore. They are not looking forward to this new president at all. A few days ago, a company team called Tianyan came to investigate the entire Microchip Technology, which made chickens fly.

They heard that the president of Microcrystalline Technology was also recruited by Tianyan. Due to not much contact, they did not know what kind of company Tianyan was.

The previous president belonged to Ge Feng, and he naturally took him away after the company was sold.

Think of this.

They all have a sense of a bleak future.

soon.

Two Audi off-road vehicles parked at the gate of Microcrystalline Technology.

Everyone immediately cheered up, this is the car driven by the person from the sky before.

The door opened.

Six Chinese descended from the top, four of whom they had met, who were from the sky, and two new faces. One of them was the new president. They were not surprised that the president was a Chinese. The Chinese boss naturally likes it. Use Chinese.

I saw Kong Hao, general manager of Sky Eye's US branch, in front.

A group of people walked towards the door.

Kong Hao is a returnee himself and has many years of work experience in the United States. Therefore, he was dispatched here immediately and was promoted to the general manager of Sky Eye's US branch, in charge of the acquisition and carrying out tasks in the United States.

Today is his last visit to Microchip Technology.

The purpose is to bring the president who Tianyan recruited for Microchip Technology to take office, and then the management and supervision work will be completed by Tianyan employees. Thinking of the identity of the new president beside him, Kong Hao felt that this was a relatively beautiful case of poaching.

The president of Microchip Technology is named Zhou You, a Chinese. He used to be the vice president of another well-known photovoltaic company and has outstanding abilities. He personally went to the door to talk several times before successfully convincing Zhou You. Of course, there are also practical reasons, otherwise Zhou You Friends will not leave a company so easily.

ceiling.

The inevitable problem of Chinese in corporate America.

It means that if you get promoted to a certain position, you won't be able to get promoted. Later, a white man who is worse than you jumped into a leader a few steps, and no one was happy. When he learned that this time he was managing a company, Zhou You agreed.

For his resignation, the original company did not retain it, which made him feel cold.

Kong Hao stepped forward and introduced Zhou You one by one several senior management staff of Microchip Technology. To be honest, watching these people look cautiously, Zhou You could only sigh with emotion to decide the height, how could there be such treatment before.

"Let's go to the conference room." Kong Hao said.

"it is good."

When he came to the conference room, Kong Hao read out the appointment of the board of directors, but there was only Tang Qing on the board. From the moment the reading was completed, Zhou You was the president of Microchip Technology.

"Mr. Zhou, my work is done, I'll leave it to you next." Kong Hao said to Zhou You with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Kong." Zhou You nodded in thanks.

"polite."

After Kong Hao finished speaking, he sat down, and he had nothing to do with him.

Zhou Youzheng straightened his clothes, looked at the respectful eyes below, and started the first development meeting of Microchip Technology.

After some encouragement, and a review of the company's past glory.

The conference content went back to technology and markets.

Zhou You solemnly said: "Now, I will convey the order of the board of directors that we will reach a strategic cooperation agreement with a research institution for the research and development of the next-generation solar cell technology and its components, and conduct research in a semi-commissioned and semi-cooperative manner.

Of course, your original R&D expenses will remain unchanged. Before a new generation of technology or products is developed, the technology department will not expand, nor will it increase R&D expenses. "

"Why? Our products and technologies are very advanced. Now the photovoltaic industry market is experiencing great development. I think more funds should be invested in our technical department." Before the vice president in charge could speak, the African-American laboratory director began to oppose.

No increase in R&D expenses.

People in the technical department don't do it.

Because listening to Zhou You's tone, firstly, I don't trust their technology, and secondly, the money that should have been given to my own department was given to another laboratory for entrusting research and development, so why not pay?

Zhou You was not surprised either.

This was something that was expected, but it was decided by his own boss himself. He was not qualified to refute and question, he could only implement it. As long as there was nothing wrong with the general direction and Tang Qing had made a decision, then he had to follow suit. .

Zhou You said: "This is decided by the board of directors and cannot be changed. If you can produce enough results, I will apply to you for more research and development funds, but if the commercial value of the product is still the same as before, I think, I Can't report up for money."

The meaning is obvious.

If something doesn't work, don't beep, and come up with real technology if you have the ability.

The commercial value is mainly a three-way evaluation of the cost, conversion rate, and lifespan of solar cell modules. Otherwise, even if the conversion rate is high and the cost is terrifyingly high, there is no commercial value.

"But with more funds, our research and development progress must be faster." The African-American tone was a little weaker.

In fact, it's not that he's not up to his expectations, it's just that he can't achieve breakthroughs in this industry. Just like the conversion rate, after ten years, the most advanced crystalline silicon technology has only increased by about 5%, and more and more the harder.

Zhou You was unmoved and continued: "I remember that the company's research funding increases by one million US dollars every year, but the increase in the comprehensive evaluation of commercial value is very small, and it is still using the technology that could be achieved two years ago. How about you? Use this data to convince me to convince the chairman."

Regarding Zhou You's question, the African-American director also understands that it is true that the technology is progressing too slowly, but he is very unconvinced: "Can that laboratory improve the commercial value of the company's products?"

Zhou You just carried out Tang Qing's order, and was not prepared to dwell on this issue, and said directly: "You will know soon if you have this ability, because this laboratory will have a certain degree of technical cooperation with you.

If after a period of cooperation, you feel that they are not as good as you, or the technology is not good, I will apply for your research funding. "

"Okay, I understand." African Americans also knew that this was the best outcome,

Zhou You added: "That's good. Technically, it will be arranged by the vice president of Kyle. Now let's talk about the research direction of future products. Next, our large-scale grid-connected power generation is only a general project.

Home storage, portable solar power generation devices will be the company's future market focus. . . . In three days, I want to see your planning report and upload it to me through the management system of Tianyan, understand? "

"clear."

"..."

then.

A meeting about the future of Microcrystalline Technology has come to an end.

It also represents Microcrystalline Technology.

Officially set sail.

. . .

after the meeting.

Zhou You and Kong Hao are sitting in the president's conference room.

Outside, the white and blue factory building is very clear in the sun, and with the sky blue sky, the environment is really good.

The two were drinking tea.

"Mr. Kong, please take care of us in the future. We are also brothers in the trenches." Zhou You smiled.

Kong Hao hurriedly shook his head.

"It can't be said that way. We all work for the chairman, do our job well, and the chairman will not treat us badly."

Inside Tianyan, no one dares to play gangs. They do this in the first place, to prevent gangs, hilltops, etc. in the companies they supervise. Once there are signs, they will report to the top, and Tang Qing will decide whether to make personnel adjustments.

As a general manager of the Tianyan branch, Kong Hao didn't dare to try his own way. Otherwise, although Tang Qing would not be good, Dou Jiao would definitely suppress this crooked trend. With such a big backer as Tang Qing, he didn't want to have any misunderstanding and be fired.

"Mr. Kong, have you met our chairman?" Zhou Youyou asked curiously.

Kong Hao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I have never met the chairman. Since joining Tianyan, the chairman has not shown up. I guess it is only possible to meet the real person during the Tianyan annual meeting."

"That's a pity. To be honest, I really admire Tianyan, founded by the chairman, to manage the company in this way. In the future, our work will overlap in all aspects." Zhou You said with emotion.

"That is, our chairman is not an ordinary person." Kong Hao said proudly.

"..."

The two chatted in the office.

Kong Hao will go back to New York when the people below take over the matter.

Because Dou Jiao had authorized him to expand the number of people in the Sky Eye US branch to 60 to 80 people, he had to rush back to work on this matter.

In addition to its own enterprise service personnel, two cooperation departments have to be set up to be responsible for business information collection and cooperation consultation. Since these two departments do not have separate branches, they are only listed under them.

Management is also vertical management of two domestic business units.

PS: Both are ordered, it is a pain to breathe. . .
