Chapter 862 Thousands of Patents

Since BOE's headquarters is in Yanjing, after getting Hang Yu's approval, Wang Dongsheng first went to Yanjing Technology Company of Jiangyan Company for inspection. Xie Wujin received Wang Dongsheng and took him around the hardware branch.

Of course, some sensitive areas are impossible for the other party to look at casually, Yanjing Technology Company has been established for several years, and with the vigorous investment of the headquarters, the technical personnel of the hardware branch have reached more than 3,600 people, which is very large.

In addition to the research and development of LCD screens, they also have a team to develop other components, such as cameras, batteries, amplifiers, etc. The hardware division of Yanjing Technology Company is the company's main R&D base, but Jiangyan Company has more than this R&D base.

After walking around, Wang Dongsheng's first feeling was that Jiangyan Company was really rich, and the equipment and facilities were of the highest grade. Another thing that surprised him was that more than 99% of the R&D personnel here are Chinese, and there are very few foreigners.

You must know that there is still a lack of scientific research talents in China, so many large enterprises will build scientific research bases abroad and recruit many foreign experts, but Jiangyan Company is not like this.

Jiangyan would rather recruit inexperienced domestic high-achieving students than foreign experts, but their R&D progress is much higher than that of BOE and other companies, which is simply incredible.

"The R&D staff here are very young, and I see that about 70% of the people are in their twenties. These young people should not have graduated for a long time, do they have experience in R&D, how can they take on such an important task. Wang Dongsheng couldn't help but say.

It is difficult for him to imagine such a scene, a group of high-achieving students who have just graduated should take on the research and development tasks of a large group. About 25 per cent are only 30-40 years old, and less than 5 per cent are over 40 years old.

"At the beginning, we also focused on bringing in foreign R&D personnel, but we suffered a loss in this area and reduced the number of places. Don't look at these young people as immature, as long as there are good leaders who teach them how to do research, their efficiency is much higher than that of foreign experts. Although there are many problems, our company is not short of money and can give them the opportunity to try. Xie Wujin said.

There is a very important point he didn't say, these domestic young high-achieving students are much cheaper than foreign experts, including domestic experts. The money saved from them was used to train them, and Jiang Yan felt that it was worth it.

This group of young people has been cultivated and will become a valuable asset for the company in the future.

And Wang Dongsheng heard a nouveau riche and a smell of wealth, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious, jealous and hateful. If BOE is so rich, why waste so much time, it is estimated that it would have become the top LCD screen manufacturer in China.

Although it is also the top now, it will soon be surpassed by Jiang Yan Company.

"Do you have any basic requirements for recruiting R&D personnel?" Wang Dongsheng wanted to know through their recruitment requirements what qualities these young researchers possess and how they can create miracles.

"We divide R&D personnel into three types: the main force, the mentor and the guide, and the main force is the young people you see. The mentors are mainly experts from developed countries, and the facilitators are older but experienced researchers. The basic requirements of the main force are to be down-to-earth, diligent, passionate, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and focus on research. The basic requirements of the instructor are to have superb academic achievements in a certain field, rich experience, tangible results, and most importantly, have a scientific spirit, have no prejudice against Chinese, and are willing to teach us their own skills without reservation. The guide is from some universities or scientific research institutions, the basic requirements are experience, academic achievements, tangible results, broad vision, the most important thing is to have the spirit of pioneer and leadership, can lead everyone to the right path, for the main force to open up the road. Xie Wujin roughly introduced.

Of course, the specific requirements are not so simple, first look at the academic qualifications, test whether the basic knowledge and skills are solid during the interview, and then enter the probation stage to test the other party's work adaptability and research and development spirit, etc.

The whole process can take a month to six months, during which time it is inevitable that all those who do not meet the requirements will be recruited. For example, those who are lazy, those who are in a hurry, those who are opportunistic, and those who are pretentious......

Generally, young people can do their best to transform, and those who can't be reformed will be dismissed, while the requirements of mentors and guides are higher, and because their R&D style has matured.

Where is the money invested by the headquarters in the hardware research and development department? In addition to the rigid needs of equipment and materials, a large part of it is used on people. A lot of money is wasted just by screening and eliminating, but it's inevitable.

Even in order to expand the scale as soon as possible, Jiangyan Company also lowered the basic recruitment requirements, in order to discover some talents that are easy to miss as soon as possible. Lowering the basic requirements means greater screening efforts and greater losses.

This basic requirement is mainly academic qualifications.

Other companies recruit R&D personnel, not to get a master's degree or doctorate from a famous school, and Jiangyan's requirements are college degree or above, without a certificate from a famous school. Of course, those schools that don't want it at all. It is actually very laborious to discover talents in this way, although academic qualifications cannot prove everything, but the quality of higher academic qualifications will indeed be slightly higher, and the screening rate is higher.

However, with the large investment and unremitting efforts of Jiangyan Company, it has indeed discovered many talents from ordinary universities. These talents may not have solid basic knowledge, especially R&D skills, but they are very hard-working, very focused, and very self-motivated.

The most important thing is that many of them cherish this job more than students from prestigious schools, and they have a "desperate" research spirit in order to stay.

It's not that Jiang Yan is deliberately exploiting them, but that China's current situation is like this, and if you don't work hard, you can't surpass the developed countries. If they can't catch up with the developed countries, they will not be able to do any technological research, and the profits will not be enough to feed them.

Scientific and technological research and development requires talent, but there are only a few prodigies like Xu Shuang, and more of them are a group of "conventional talents" who are not afraid of hardships and dangers and focus on research.

"It's not easy to cultivate a large R&D team by yourself, but after coming here to see it, I can understand how you can create miracles. Wang Dongsheng didn't disturb their research, and walked out of the research institute after a general look.

"The top is willing to pay, the bottom is willing to work hard, I don't think there is anything that can't be done. Xie Wujin said proudly.

For researchers, the biggest concern is that the equipment is not good and the funds are insufficient, but Jiangyan does not have these problems. In order to achieve the goal as soon as possible, Jiang Yan Company allowed them to explore several routes at the same time, consuming several times the capital.

This approach is very expensive and stupid, but it has explored many new methods and technologies for Jiangyan Company.
