Corning, there may be many people who don't know the details of this company.

What Chemcor glass is, I'm afraid many people don't know. But if you put it another way, Gorilla Glass - this should be known to many people.

Yes, more than 80% of future smartphones use Gorilla Glass, or claim to use this glass, but whether it's real or fake, there's no arguing that this glass is the most suitable glass for mobile phone screens.

Historically, it took 34 years for this Chemcor glass to be sealed and rebuilt. In 2005, when Motorola released the RazrV3 phone, it became a milestone in replacing high-strength plastic with glass displays. Influenced by the phone, Corning formed a small team in late 2006 to consider restarting the Chemcor Glass project to explore the possibility of using it on the phone.

With a thickness of 4 mm, making the glass thinner was Corning's primary challenge. Until Joe's phone rang, Corning couldn't make significant progress. At that time, Qiao's request to Corning was to reduce the thickness of the glass to 1.3mm.

Theoretically, it takes years for a new product to go from development to mass production, and Apple has only a few months left for Corning.

Although it didn't make it in time for the first Fruit phones, Gorilla Glass eventually took shape and became a huge driving force for Corning's meteoric growth. In the five years since the debut of the fruit phone, the product line's annual revenue has grown from zero to $1 billion.

By the time of Zhou's rebirth, Gorilla Glass had been used in a variety of electronic devices around the world. In Huaxia, Gorilla Glass is the default supplier for almost all well-known mobile phone manufacturers.

For a century-old company spanning a century, the story with Joe is just a rehash of the story Corning had told more than a hundred years ago: Thomas Edison approached Corning in 1879 when he invented the light bulb to find a stable and safe glass lampshade. Later, Corning's manufacturing process standards for bulb glass continue to this day.

As for whether the members of this project can be successfully poached, Zhou Fangyuan has no doubts.

The first is money, as long as there is money, poaching people is never a problem.

Of course, if it is some extremely important project, whether it is the United States or Corning, I am afraid that they will not release people. Unfortunately, the Chemcor project is a trivial project for Corning today. Even in later generations, Gorilla Glass is just the next young project in Corning's Specialty Materials Division, which also includes communications technology, environmental science, and life sciences.

In addition to glass substrates for LCD TVs and mobile devices, Corning's products are used in fiber optic cables for communications networks, ceramic carriers and filters for mobile emission control systems, and optical biosensors for drug development.

For such a behemoth, a project with unclear prospects and has been mothballed for almost thirty years, it would be foolish to say that it is important. So this time is the most appropriate time to poach people, if a few years earlier, maybe there are still people within Corning who will have illusions about this project, and a few years later, once Corning can confirm the prospects of this project, with their deep pockets, it is absolutely impossible to give such a project to others.

Not only the project itself, but all members of the project team will be taken care of, and Corning will inevitably spend a lot of money to keep people in the company. And these employees, if they don't have enough money, they are unlikely to leave their countries and come to China.

So at this stage, Corning itself doesn't care, and no one in the industry thinks that it is the most suitable to use glass on mobile phone screens to poach talents.

Listening to Zhou Fangyuan's plan, everyone in the room was dumbfounded, including Zhou Fangyuan's father, who didn't expect his son to think of so many things.

After a moment, Grandpa came to his senses, smiled and nodded.

"Very good, grandpa supports you, although he can't give you material help, but grandpa definitely supports you mentally. ”

It must be supported, the grandson is so promising, he hasn't gone to college yet, and he has already begun to think about such a big thing, it's too late for the old man to be happy, how can he not support it?

Other family members also expressed their support, but to put it bluntly, Zhou Fangyuan relied on the ability of foresight to make his family rich, but this process is too short, it is only two years before and after, two years ago his family was still the weakest family in the entire Zhou family, and two years later, his family's achievements have made other relatives can only look up.

Everyone just wants to help them, but they have no way to start, and can only express their support mentally.

But this is enough, Zhou Fangyuan has done so many things, in addition to letting his parents live a good life, is it not to be recognized by others? In his previous life, he was the one who was despised and ridiculed by everyone, and in this life he wants to reverse all this, he wants to become the person that others envy and yearn for, and he has been working hard for this.

The family had a very happy dinner, and while everyone was amazed by the development speed of Zhou Fangyuan's small family, it was impossible to say in their hearts that there was no jealousy and envy. So when Zhou Fangyuan and the others came out of his grandmother's house and were about to take the car home, the third uncle suddenly came over.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Yangyang, I have something I want to discuss with you. ”

"Jianmin, what's wrong?"

Dad Zhou was about to sit in the cab, but when he heard the words of the third brother, he immediately stopped.

The third uncle walked quickly to Zhou's father's side, "Brother, sister-in-law, this, I want to discuss something with you, please ......"

When he said this, his eyes looked at Zhou Fangyuan.

"If you have something, just say it, why bother. ”

Dad Zhou looked at his brother suspiciously.

"Yes, the third child, if you have something, just say it, it's all your own family, what's polite. ”

Zhou's mother also said with a smile.

"Alas, then I'll say it," the third uncle nodded, and then looked at his brother and sister-in-law, "Big brother, sister-in-law, what, can you, can you find something to do in your business for my family?" ”

The third uncle said with hope.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother glanced at each other, and they both saw a surprised expression in each other's eyes.

Zhou Fangyuan heard this sentence next to him and pouted slightly, he knew that with his own development, there would definitely be relatives who wanted to join in.

Family-owned businesses have their advantages and disadvantages, but Zhou Fangyuan honestly doesn't like family-owned businesses. Although family members and relatives are more assured to use, but this is also relative, in modern enterprise management, as long as the various rules and regulations and contracts are comprehensive enough, hiring people is not necessarily unsafe. And their own family, sometimes the pit is really going to the death pit, is this situation still rare throughout the ages? People's hearts are always insufficient, and they may be satisfied to be able to join in now, but as time goes by, people's ambitions will always get bigger and bigger, until finally the desire is difficult to fill.

Therefore, Zhou Fangyuan does not want to have too many family members in his company.

But to be honest, individual cases are treated differently, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach, nor can it be agreed to all of them. If nothing else, it's like saying that the third uncle's family, his family has no money? No, the third uncle's family is still quite rich. In his job, he always has some gray income, and he has saved a lot of money over the years, so it's good to do something. But they chose to join Zhou Fangyuan's company, to put it bluntly, they still wanted to make money in a simpler way.

Although Zhou Fangyuan also wants to have confidence in his third uncle and three aunts, he must take precautions.

So before his parents said yes or no, Zhou Fangyuan suddenly cleared his throat.

"Third uncle, actually, I have a good project here, do you want to hear about it?"

"Ahh......h

The third uncle was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother also turned their heads and looked at Zhou Fangyuan with a slightly surprised expression.

"Actually, third uncle, I've been wanting to get a cafeteria for a long time......"

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

"Buffet?"

The third uncle's eyes widened slightly.

"Yes, third uncle, have you ever heard of Korean barbecue?"

Zhou Fangyuan said.

Actually, seriously, he really thought about doing this, but how to say it. When you don't have money, you want to have a buffet, and you can't afford the initial investment. When he has money, he doesn't like such a small amount of money again. The most important thing is that he doesn't have time now, not only does he have no time, but his parents are very busy, even if a lot of work is done by the people below, but there is still a lot of work to be handled by himself every day.

It is impossible to open another buffet anyway, and with that time, it is better to do the work at hand well.

So he just thought about this idea, and gave up a long time ago.

Now that the third uncle suddenly came up and wanted to find something to do for the third aunt, Zhou Fangyuan suddenly thought of this, since he has no time, no energy, and no interest in doing this, why not leave this matter to the third aunt to do?

Meat, vegetables, and staple foods can be provided by themselves, fresh, safe, hygienic, and cheap, as long as the third aunt opens a store, there is absolutely no reason to lose money. In terms of seafood, at this time in Beitong City, seafood is still a very high-end thing, and there is no need to add seafood to the buffet, at most one shrimp is enough. Once done, this store can also be a chain store, if other relatives also want to find something to do, they can join this buffet, do not have to worry about them joining their own important industry to become a burden, and also do not have to worry about not helping will be complained by relatives, such a way to kill multiple birds with one stone, why not?

The more Zhou Fangyuan thought about it, the more he felt that it was funny, he walked to the third uncle and began to introduce the project in detail.
