Chapter 421: R&D

"Then why was you discharged?"

Li's father said with emotion: "It's not to save some money, in his words, instead of spending so much money in the hospital every day, it's better to take care of it at home." ”

"It's good if you can. ”

In the previous life, Li Zhengyi's uncle also had this disease, after the death of Li's father and mother, Li Liangyou followed the aggravation of his condition, a serious illness, almost did not survive, and finally saved his life, until 2012, the condition suddenly continued to worsen, and finally died after only three months.

The night was too dark, and the father and son didn't talk long before they went to sleep.

The next day, the last day of the National Day.

Li Zhengyi and Zhuang Xiangqiu stayed in Xiangning City for most of the day, and only returned to Changshui in the evening.

October 8th.

The National Day holiday is officially over.

Half past eight in the morning.

Alipay's conference room, where the first core group meeting after the holiday was held.

Unlike the previous core group meeting list used at Taobao Technology, the list of team members has changed since the companies were managed separately and the office locations were separated.

The list of existing core team members includes Zhuang Xiangqiu, general manager of Alipay, Liu Walldong, general manager of Taobao Technology Company, Shi Shengjie, technical director, Zhang Xiaolong, general manager of Zhengtu Technology Company, Ouyang Qing, technical director, Ling Haixiao, head of game production, plus Li Zhengyi, a total of 7 people.

When the personnel arrived, Li Zhengyi unexpectedly found that Shi Shengjie was also here.

"Didn't I tell you? Special circumstances, you can not use it. Li Zhengyi said of him.

Shi Shengjie said: "There are two elders over there to take care of, it's okay." ”

Liu Qiandong said with a smile: "When I was old, I was such a person, I always focused on work on weekdays, often working overtime, and I even saw him staying up late to work a few times, which was too hard." ”

Shi Shengjie smiled and didn't say much.

The meeting officially began.

According to the usual practice, Li Zhengyi will speak first to determine the tone and theme of the meeting.

Li Zhengyi's speech has a characteristic, that is, he has always been concise and to the point, and he has tried to speak as little as possible if he can.

After two sentences of gossip, let's get straight to the point:

"Okay, everyone has arrived, I'll make a long story short, the theme of today's meeting is one, I want to set up a product research and development center in the near future, the direction of research is mainly high-tech including Internet software and hardware related technologies and other communication software and hardware technologies. ”

The other people looked at each other at once, and they didn't understand why Li Zhengyi was so abrupt, and what was the use of the whole so-called product research and development center.

After a moment of silence, Ouyang Qingcai spoke first and asked, "Can you be specific? In addition to these two specific directions, are there any specific goals?"

Li Zhengyi said: "There are no specific goals for the time being, just these two general directions. First of all, it is stated that the object of future research and development is not blind, and it is not something that a certain person can do if he wants. In my concept, all of you, even including all employees of our company, can submit proposals to our core team members, all plans after your preliminary screening, think that valuable and feasible solutions, can be specially proposed by team members, to the core group meeting to discuss, after discussion, evaluation, approval and project approval, you can set up a project team in the R & D center. ”

"In what way does the product R&D center operate? Is it registered under the name of a certain company, or is it a special company set up to operate it? Where is the source of funds and the direction of profits?" Liu Qiandong raised specific questions.

Li Zhengyi spread his hands and said: "I haven't considered these things for the time being, and when I bring them to the group meeting to discuss, I hope to work together and use our brains together to see if there are feasible ideas." ”

Zhang Xiaolong said: "What is the purpose of this?"

"For single-mindedness, but also for technical reserves. ”

Li Zhengyi emphasized a sentence and explained: "The development of any company is inseparable from core technology and technical reserves, so every company, as long as it has the ability, no matter how big or small, will have a similar science and technology research and development center." We have only three companies at present, and will soon set up a logistics company, with the development of enterprises, the company group is an inevitable trend, after the group, diversification is an inevitable trend, in the future, a single product of the enterprise, in the cruel Internet competition, its competitiveness will only become weaker and weaker. ”

"Once the group is diversified, if each of its subsidiaries has its own R&D center or technology center, it seems to be very complete and go hand in hand. In fact, it is a waste of resources and talents, if a general R&D center is established in the name of the group, the research direction is not limited to the restrictions of the enterprises under its command, all resources and talents are uniformly distributed, and all achievements can be shared and used within the group. ”

In fact, Lee Jong-il's true purpose has several meanings.

The above-mentioned single-mindedness and technical reserves are only two of them, single-mindedness is to let every company under his command identify the direction of development and concentrate on doing what the company should do, and the technical reserves are in order to make their own company have enough foundation in the future Internet world, which is a precautionary measure, and it is also the manifestation of Li Zhengyi's sense of crisis.

There is also a real meaning, I am afraid that it is not enough for outsiders, the R&D center established in the future, after independent operation, he intends to firmly control it in his own hands, and other external companies, such as Taobao, Alipay, Zhengtu Technology and all other companies that may be established in the future, he can let anyone participate in the financing, but the R&D center must be absolutely controlled in his own hands.

Technology is king.

After discussing for half an hour, all of them voted to pass, only Ouyang Qing hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to Li Zhengyi's plan.

After the plan was approved, the next step was to discuss the specific details of the establishment of the R&D center.

The detailed discussion was very cumbersome, involving many aspects, such as talents, collectivization, person in charge, establishment, system, etc., and everyone present actively spoke and participated in the discussion.

The main issue is focused on talent, which is the key.

In the end, the results were obtained, and the general middle and senior talents came forward from Zhuang Xiangqiu, using various recruitment opportunities, headhunting companies, etc., to dig out from the society, and the top high-precision talents were used by the other few people present to use social relations to carry out activities, as long as there were signs, they would be reported immediately, and Li Zhengyi would arrange a special person to follow up.

The meeting lasted for three hours, and it was not until lunchtime that everyone returned to work.

Ouyang Qing, who left in the end, was left behind by Li Zhengyi.

"I'll talk about it in the afternoon. Ouyang Qing also had something to tell Li Zhengyi, so he spoke straightforwardly.

Li Zhengyi said: "Let's eat together first." ”
