Chapter 264: Ideas for Advancement
Without a mobile phone or laptop, it is equally unrealistic to use lithium batteries in electric vehicles.
The reason why Han Chudong did not care too much about the lithium battery development project is mainly because it is difficult to find a market.
That's why I'm not so concerned, and I don't have the idea of taking out the working principle technology of lithium batteries that I know now, this is another hen that can lay golden eggs, which is much more powerful than the original alkaline dry battery and energy gathering technology, and the value is countless times higher.
Hearing Dyson's complaint, Han Chudong replied with a smile: "I allow you not to care too much about this project for the time being, but you still need to recruit more talents in battery research and development, and I have my plans." ”
"That's what you said, then I don't have a headache, to be honest, we don't have any clue about the so-called high-performance lithium batteries. ”
"Show me the trolley case first, I want this thing very much, I've seen similar products in the airport before, but it's too simple, we have a universal wheelset, can the trolley be put away?" Han Chudong postponed the meeting with other executives, and made a special trip to take time to check this new product that had just been developed.
Seeing that Han Chudong had finished sliding left and right, Dyson fumbled to put away the lever, and found that he didn't need to answer the question, just shrugged his shoulders and told: "It's relatively simple, it takes a day to complete the design, and then draw the drawings and ask people from other factories to help design, the plastic shell comes from the light-year plastic factory, and the wheels are removed from the dining car, there is still room for improvement." ”
"How much can it hold?"
"As long as you can lift it, even if it is full of gold nuggets, it should be fine, if you change the material, such as cloth and leather, the anti-drop and anti-crush performance can also be enhanced, God knows why the people at the airport treat luggage so roughly." ”
Dyson took out a pen from his pocket and continued: "And this, a ballpoint pen with a large capacity, almost four times the size of an ordinary ballpoint pen, why would you want to invent such a thing? ”
"I will find a professional stationery production factory, OEM to help with production, its meaning is to make consumers feel that the storm is cool, if you can do it in the future, even if you don't plan to buy home appliances, you like to come to the store to see these novel little things, we have succeeded." ”
After Han Chudong finished speaking, Dyson continued: "That's why we will develop electric kettles, humidifiers, and table lamps?"
Han Chudong shook his head: "No, those are to make money, I plan to build a factory in South Korea, and then gradually enrich the self-produced household appliances, and work as a salesman for others. ”
This philosophy is obviously a bit ahead of its time.
Under the premise of the steady growth of the performance of Baofeng Electric Company, he believes that he can try in this direction and work hard as a long-term development goal.
However, now that there are three home appliance manufacturers as shareholders, they may not be happy to see competitors appear, and the current Han Chudong only has such ideas, and there is no idea that they must be realized.
As mentioned earlier, with the change of vision, Baofeng Electric has become a secondary business.
If one day Baofeng Electric Company becomes more valuable, and he happens to need money to invest in more promising projects, he may immediately transfer his shares and enter a new market with huge long-term benefits.
The number of interests is the first reference item for him to make a decision, and he has not paid too much attention to the development of Baofeng Electric since this year, and only a little bit of affection is not enough to change Han Chudong's businessman position.
It is similar to mango toys, are classified into the category of secondary assets, the current most important is beauty, luxury goods, IC three industries, it is worth mentioning that with the continued acquisition of shares, Han Chudong's share in Intel has increased to 37 percent, and is currently working on promoting a financing plan to increase the number of new shares, if successfully realized, the proportion of the total share capital may reach 50 percent, or even more than 60 percent.
Stock speculation has become a major shareholder, and it is indeed easier to deal with this medium-sized enterprise with a total capital of less than 100 million yuan with his strength.
Recently, I have taken a fancy to Texas Instruments, the IC giant is currently worth more than 300 million US dollars, and IBM, HP and other companies maintain business dealings, the main business is electronic calculators, integrated circuits, microchips, microprocessors, has been handed over to Mason private equity escrow funds, to achieve a total of 20 million US dollars to build a position.
Together with Intel, he was treated as a long-term meal ticket, and for the time being, he did not have the idea of actively interfering in their normal operations, and chose to pay close attention to various decisions, and the office of the business secretary sorted out and handed them over to him from time to time.
Han Chudong has replaced many senior executives, and is still arranging for headhunters to find smart and capable candidates, trying to build an efficient team to help him manage this growing business empire.
Mr. Dyson's ability is not bad, he used to do similar work in Bell Labs, listening to the little boss, he found that his task seemed to be more important, and he immediately felt a little self-satisfied.
Answering Han Chudong said: "In a few days, I will personally go to MIT, California Institute of Technology, maybe also go to Cambridge and Oxford, the autumn job fair is being carried out one after another, if you are only responsible for R&D tasks, I believe it should be able to meet your needs, if the human resources department allows, I hope to directly hire some professors and associate professors in the Department of Chemistry and Electrical Engineering with high salaries. ”
"Of course, I'll say hello to the HR director later, and then you can communicate with him directly, and I'll allow them to pay a high salary as long as they have excellent ability.
In addition, tell other R&D personnel that as long as they work hard, the bonus at the end of this year must be very considerable, almost a quarter's salary, and the fixed salary will be adjusted for some serious employees. ”
Han Chudong found that it is more beneficial to the healthy development of the company to let middle and low-level employees raise their salaries slightly than to pay more to executives.
Take her own nanny as an example, she was recently told that she would receive a salary increase of $100 a month, and she was so happy that she worked more seriously, cleaned the inside and out to be spotless, and praised her boss for how good and kind she was.
However, those executives are often elites with higher hearts, and even if they get a salary increase, they will only want more money.
For example, several veteran executives who have been reassigned have clearly received some compensation, and some have chosen to leave their jobs, although the salary standard has been three to four times higher than when they first joined the company last year, it still cannot satisfy their appetite.
Since realizing this, he has paid more attention to the middle and low-level employees, avoiding them as if they can be replaced at any time, considering the company's profitability and expansion since the beginning of this year, as well as the expected profit in the second half of the year, the year-end benefits equivalent to at least three months' salary have been determined, and the plan to adjust the salary package has also been put on the agenda.
Dyson was of course happy to hear this, and said: "Okay, those guys will definitely be excited, and I guess no one will think about changing jobs anymore." ”
"Are there any other samples, leave this box to me, and let people from several luxury companies come to visit in a few days, determine the production process as soon as possible, and seize the time to mass production." ”
......
After a busy day yesterday, I continue to take care of my business today.
The vacation is cool for a while, and after the coolness, you still have to gather your mind and work hard to make money.
I thought I would be able to finish the rest of the business with peace of mind today, but as soon as Dyson left on the front foot, I heard that Helena Bergman was coming.
She rushed to California to study at Stanford University, and flew to Los Angeles without saying hello in advance, and was standing outside Han Chudong's office at the moment......
