October 22nd.

United States.

Seattle.

It is a city located on the Pacific coast of Washington state.

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

Microcrystalline Technology is headquartered in the southeastern suburbs of Seattle, a huge factory area covering hundreds of acres. The production, R&D, and management departments of Microcrystalline Technology are all here.

There is only one office in downtown Seattle and one office in New York.

8:15 a.m.

Microcrystalline's two vice presidents and department managers stood at the gate.

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

All of them are white except for the director of the laboratory, who is African-American, and today is the day when the new president takes office, and they dare not slack off.

Don't look at American freedom.

But the workplace culture is still the same.

They are also very helpless, this company is sold like a toy by those rich people, only as a game of capital, but this is their job, even dreams, for such a thing as changing bosses, Americans also hate it.

Except for money.

They also want what they do to be worthwhile.

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

Therefore. They didn't look forward to this new president at all, and a few days ago, a company team called Tianyan came to investigate the entire microcrystalline technology, which made the chickens and dogs jump.

They heard that the president of Microcrystalline Technology was also recruited by Tianyan, but because they didn't have much contact, they didn't know what kind of company Tianyan was.

The previous president was Ge Feng's person, and he naturally took it away when the company was sold.

Come to think of this.

They all have a sense of a bleak future.

Soon.

Two Audi SUVs were parked at the gate of Microcrystalline Technology.

Everyone immediately cheered up, this was the car driven by the people of Tianyan before.

The door opened.

From the top down six Chinese, four of them they have seen, is the eye of the sky, and two new faces, think that one of them is the new president, for the president is a Chinese, they do not feel strange at all, the Chinese boss naturally likes to use Chinese.

I saw Kong Hao, general manager of Tianyan American Branch, in front.

Walked towards the group of people at the door.

Kong Hao himself is a returnee and has many years of work experience in the United States, so he was directly dispatched here and promoted to the general manager of Tianyan American Branch, responsible for the acquisition and carrying out tasks in the United States.

Today is his last time at Microcrystalline Technology.

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

The president of Microcrystalline Technology is named Zhou You, a Chinese, who once served as the vice president of another well-known photovoltaic company, with outstanding ability, and he personally came to the door to talk several times before he successfully persuaded Zhou You, of course, there are also practical factors, otherwise Zhou You would not leave a company so easily.

Ceiling.

The inevitable problem of Chinese in American business.

It means that if you are promoted to a certain position, you can't be promoted, and then the white man who is worse than you jumped into a leader in a few steps, and no one was happy in his heart, and when he learned that this time he was managing a company, Zhou You agreed.

Regarding his resignation, the original company was stunned and could not be retained, which made him feel cold.

Kong Hao stepped forward and introduced several senior managers of Microcrystalline Technology to Zhou Youyi one by one, to be honest, looking at these people cautiously, Zhou You could only sigh with emotion Ass determines the height, how could there be such treatment before.

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

"Good. ”

Coming to the conference room, Kong Hao read out the appointment of the board of directors, but Tang Qing was the only one on the board of directors, and from the moment the reading was completed, Zhou You was the president of Microcrystalline Technology.

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

"Thank you, Mr. Kong. Zhou You nodded and thanked him.

"You're welcome. ”

Kong Hao sat down after speaking, and then there was nothing to do with him.

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

After some encouragement and looking back on the company's past glory.

The content of the conference is back to technology and the market.

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

Of course, your original R&D expenses remain unchanged, and the technical department will not expand or increase R&D expenses until a new generation of technology or products is developed. ”

"Why? Our products and technologies are very advanced, and now that the photovoltaic industry market is ushering in a big development, I think we should invest more money in our technical department. Before the vice president could speak, the African-American director of the lab began to object.

No increase in R&D expenses.

People in the technical department don't do it.

Because of listening to Zhou You's tone, first, I don't trust their technology, and second, the money that should have been given to my department was actually given to other laboratories to entrust research and development, so I didn't have to pay, I didn't agree.

Zhou You was not surprised.

This is expected, but this is set by his own boss himself, and he is not qualified to refute and question, he can only implement it, as long as there is nothing wrong in the general direction, and Tang Qing has a decision, then he must follow.

Zhou You said: "This is the decision of the board of directors, can not be changed, if you can come up with enough results, I will apply to the above to give you 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 to the top to ask for money." ”

The meaning is obvious.

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

The commercial value is mainly a tripartite evaluation of the cost, conversion rate, and life of the solar cell module, otherwise even if the conversion rate is high and the cost is scary, then what is the commercial value.

"But with more funding, we can definitely move faster. The tone of the African-Americans was a little weaker.

In fact, it's not to blame him for not being angry, but this industry can't make breakthroughs at all, just like the conversion rate, after ten years, the most advanced crystalline silicon technology has only increased by about five percent, and it is getting more and more difficult.

Unmoved, Zhou You continued: "I remember that the company's research funding is increasing by one million dollars per year, but the growth in the comprehensive evaluation of commercial value is minimal, and it is still using the technology that can be achieved two years ago, how can you use this data to convince me to convince the chairman." ”

In response to Zhou You's question, the African-American director also understood that it was true that the technology progress was too slow, but he was 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 ready to dwell on this issue, and said directly: "Whether you have this ability or not, you will soon know, because this laboratory will carry out a certain degree of technical cooperation with you."

If, after working together for a period of time, you feel that they are not as good as you, or that the technology is not good, I will apply for your research grant. ”

"Okay, I understand. "African-Americans also know that this is the best outcome,

Zhou You said: "That's good, technically arranged by Vice President Kyle, now let's talk about the research direction of future products, and then our large-scale grid-connected power generation is only a general project."

Home storage and 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?"

"Understood. ”

“。。。 ”

Thereupon.

A meeting on 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 sat in the president's large conference room.

The white and blue factory building outside is unusually clear in the sun, and the sky blue sky makes the environment really good.

The two drank tea.

"Mr. Kong, please take care of me in the future, we are also brothers in the trenches. Zhou You said with a smile.

Kong Hao hurriedly shook his head.

"We can't say that, we all work for the chairman, do our job well, and the chairman will not treat us badly. ”

Tianyan doesn't dare to have anyone playing gangs, they are doing this, to prevent gangs and gangs in the enterprises under their supervision, mountains and the like, once there are signs, they will report upward, and Tang Qing will decide whether to make personnel adjustments.

As a general manager of Tianyan Branch, Kong Hao didn't dare to defy the law, otherwise Tang Qing would not be able to do anything, but Dou Jiao would definitely suppress this unhealthy trend. With Tang Qing's big backer, he didn't want to be expelled from any misunderstanding.

"Mr. Kong, have you seen our chairman?" Zhou Youyou said strangely.

Kong Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I haven't seen the chairman either, since I joined Tianyan, the chairman hasn't shown up, and I estimate that it is only possible to see a real person at the annual meeting of Tianyan." ”

"That's a shame. To be honest, I really admire Tianyan, which was founded by the chairman, and manages the company in this form, and the overlap of our work in the future is in all aspects. Zhou You sighed.

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

“。。。 ”

The two were chatting in the office.

When the people below hand over the matter, Kong Hao will return to New York.

Because Dou Jiao had authorized him to expand the number of people in the Tianyan American branch to sixty to eighty, he still had to rush back to work on this matter.

In addition to their own corporate service personnel, they also have to set up two cooperation departments to be responsible for business intelligence collection and cooperation consulting, which are only under their names because they do not have separate branches.

The management is still the vertical management of the two business divisions in China.

PS: Even, it's a pain that will breathe...
