Chapter 486 The Flower Growers Are Short of Money Again
In the conference room, neither party could convince the other. Finally, Chen Changliu said:
"I understand everyone's opinions, and they all make sense. So why can't we take two paths at the same time? It won't be a waste of our manpower and material resources to cooperate with a professional company. At the same time, we can expand our original touch screen R&D team.
In this case, we won’t be afraid of others getting stuck in the future..."
Chen Changliu made the decision, so there would be no objections.
“This time the mobile phone division proposed to set up a screen research and development team, which allowed me to see the problems in our structure. In view of the need to optimize the integration of research and development resources, we can improve the efficiency of research and development.
I decided to establish the Central Institute of Innovation and Development to better coordinate R&D directions in the future, and many R&D groups can be established under this central institute..."
Chen Changliu's words raised eyebrows among many executives, because with such an integration, the resources at the Central Institute of Innovation and Development would be too high, and Flower Planter was originally a technology company, so R&D would definitely be its lifeblood.
This also means that whoever becomes the head of Academia Sinica will basically become the vice president of the company. No matter who the technical master is, his ears are pricked up. Who doesn't want a promotion and a salary increase?
You must know that the company currently has only one vice president, and that is Feng Xiao. For the current size of the flower grower, having only one vice president is indeed too few.
Chen Changliu paused for a moment, then looked at Wu Bo and said:
"Mr. Wu, you will be responsible for establishing this central research institute. At the same time, Mr. Wu will be officially promoted to the vice president of the company..."
"Papa pa pa"
Warm applause rang out in the conference room. Everyone had no objections to Wu Bo's appointment. After all, he was the oldest veteran of the company. Together with the boss, one was responsible for technology, and the other was responsible for marketing and products to build a flower grower.
Chen Changliu was not worried about whether he could be promoted. After all, he was also a top student from the University of Science and Technology. There was no problem with his personal knowledge or management ability.
The chief engineer of Jingyuan Division, who had just joined the company, was directly promoted to the general manager and chief engineer of the division. It can be said that he is the biggest winner like Wu Bo.
"That's it for the personnel appointments. Mr. Wu, I want you to set up the Central Research Institute as soon as possible and put it into work. Your biggest task now is to solve the technical problems of commercialization of capacitive touch screen mobile phones.
The new generation of Jade Bird and Suzaku series mobile phones must be launched in the second half of next year. If we miss this node, it will definitely be a major blow to our mobile phone business..."
Chen Changliu couldn't be impatient. After all, in 2007 Apple was going to launch a full-touch screen, cross-generational smartphone. However, it was impossible for smartphones to become mainstream in 2007, and it would only start to become popular in 2009.
Therefore, flower growers must establish their own competitiveness before this, otherwise the domestic mobile phone market in the future will have to make cost-effective smartphones from the beginning, which is not a good thing for flower growers who focus on research and development.
Because this means there is not much profit, and there is no money to invest in research and development.
This meeting was the longest since the establishment of Huajiajia Technology Co., Ltd. It lasted all day, and lunch was all solved in the conference room because there were too many things to solve.
For example, there are coordination issues between Academia Sinica and various business divisions. For example, the mobile phone division, small electronics division, Jingyuan division, and lithium battery division all have their own R&D centers. These R&D centers will involve many R&D tasks. , just for the research of basic materials, many research groups can be divided.
In short, the conference room was noisy all day long, but Chen Changliu was basically acting as a referee.
When the meeting ended, Chen Changliu returned to the office tiredly and was about to leave. Such a meeting was too draining on his energy, but before he left, Wu Bo, Zhang Hao, Liu Yang and Zhao Na came together again.
Chen Changliu looked at the four of them coming together and was a little puzzled. What could happen to three R&D bosses and one financial boss? Are the R&D funds allocated on time?
But after Wu Bo finished talking about the matter, Chen Changliu had no choice but to sit down and let Zhao Yanan call Feng Xiao and Ke Meng over.
"You guys are not letting me get off work."
Wu Bo, Liu Yang, and Zhang Hao are in good spirits.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, we are older and don't feel tired yet, but you are tired at such a young age. This is not okay. You need to exercise more!"
"Puff"
Zhao Na, who was also very tired, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
Feng Xiao and Ke Meng arrived soon. They looked at Chen Changliu with doubts on their faces. Chen Changliu explored his hands and said:
"Don't look at me, ask these big guys!"
Wu Bo smiled helplessly:
"Actually, it was because a few of us discovered a very important issue while communicating after the meeting just now, so we came to see Mr. Chen."
Feng Xiao asked curiously:
"What's the problem?"
"The company's problem is attracting talents. All of our R&D personnel at Zhonghuajia Technology Co., Ltd. basically work at the Yangcheng headquarters, so there will be certain limitations in attracting talents.
After all, some talents are really unwilling to travel so far to come to Yangcheng, and as our research and development research groups increase, the current scale of the headquarters will not be enough in the future.
So our idea is to set up R&D centers in cities with relatively high-quality universities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, etc.
We can put some research groups there for research and development, so that the attraction for talents nearby will be stronger..."
After Wu Bo analyzed it, Chen Changliu, Feng Xiao, Ke Meng and others all agreed, but Zhao Na said worriedly:
"Mr. Chen, I agree with Mr. Wu's point of view, but what I mean is whether we can delay the work for two years.
Our current financial pressure is too great. R&D expenditures are fixed there, which you have already set, and our staff expenses are also placed here. My suggestion is to wait until the mobile phone wafer is developed and put into the market before implementing what Mr. Wu just said. .
Otherwise, building our new R&D centers in multiple places, buying land, building R&D centers, recruiting scientific researchers, etc. will all be a big expense. We are afraid that there will be problems with our capital chain by then, in which case the problem will be huge... .....”
Zhao Na also estimated the size and cost of the R&D center with Wu Bo and others.
"The company's current revenue and expenditure can still be balanced. Of course, we can still borrow money, but don't forget, we still owe 600 million to the bank, and this 600 million will not be until next year at the latest... .”
Well, after hearing this, Chen Changliu knew one thing. The flower grower was short of money again.
