Since we all live in the same city, we arrange to meet the next day and on the weekend.

Teacher Liu from the school was responsible for the introduction: "Hu Yue, my former student, specializes in battery material research, production and manufacturing; Meng Qian, a junior who is ten years younger than you, although he is not in this major, his theoretical knowledge can be called a genius, and his innovation ability is also very strong. ”

The two looked at each other, Hu Yue was in his thirties, his beard and hair were a little long, and he looked unkempt, but he had sufficient experience, strong professional ability, and had a master's degree, and he was a high-achieving student; On the other hand, Meng Qian is not professional, and he is still too young.

After everyone sat down, the thinking of science students was not so roundabout, and Hu Yue asked: "I heard Mr. Liu say that Mr. Meng has made a new technology?" ”

"Based on the upgrade of the lithium-ion system, it is mainly used for mobile phones." Meng Qian nodded and took out the USB flash drive, "The data and videos of the experimental test are all there." ”

Mr. Liu also said in a timely manner: "Xiao Meng has been busy in the laboratory for a month, and I have seen him in several experiments, and the direction is very novel. ”

Hu Yue didn't believe Meng Qian very much, but he believed his teacher: "Can you briefly introduce it?" ”

The other party didn't ask to see the data, Meng Qian said a bunch of things when he opened his mouth, Hu Yue and Mr. Liu listened carefully, his analysis angle, the direction of creativity are novel, although it is based on the traditional system, but this upgrade, it can be said that the potential is squeezed to the limit.

After listening, Hu Yue was really moved: "If you don't mind, I want to see the finished product." ”

Meng Qian was brisk: "No problem, but school weekends? ”

Teacher Liu smiled and said, "I am the one who manages the laboratory, although I use it." ”

The three of them were eager in their hearts, and immediately rushed back to the school, Meng Qian also took out several of his laboratory products, and the aging machine started immediately, and then all the results were brand new results that refreshed their understanding, and Hu Yue's eyes lit up, and finally it can be said that he was impressed.

In addition to admiration, Hu Yue also saw shortcomings: "Materials are a big problem, right?" If you want to mass-produce it, you need to make many materials yourself. ”

Meng Qian admitted: "I can only produce semi-finished products that can be purchased by large companies, and it is also related to the issue of cost and output, so I need professional talents." ”

Teacher Liu smiled: "Xiaohu, are you interested?" ”

"It's a challenging, new field." Hu Yue nodded, his attitude and meaning were very clear.

"Welcome aboard." Meng Qian stretched out his hand to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Meng, for the opportunity." Hu Yue is also happy, to put it bluntly, he is a technical maniac, with a high salary and a broader world, who is not tempted?

……

Recruiting a talent, Meng Qian was in a good mood, and with the recommended Mr. Liu, he also gave some gifts to express his heart, so he can't let people work in vain, right? Then there is the exchange of technical men between the two sides, which is a day, and a lot of development guidelines and strategies are obtained.

Then, Hu Yue also took advantage of his position to take him to visit the battery factory.

In his words, Meng Qian is very theoretical and innovative, but he lacks too much for practical production. The best way to make up for the bad is to visit the factory and learn about the traditional production line from beginning to end. Technological innovation has helped a lot to enrich his knowledge.

Meng Qian's only question: "Won't cause you trouble, right?" ”

Hu Yue was very relieved: "It doesn't matter, production visits are frequent, and the company has a quota." ”

After receiving the visit card and putting on the work clothes, Hu Yue personally took him to observe, starting from the most basic steps: coating, assembly, liquid injection, etc. of positive and negative electrode materials, the scale of this factory is not small, and it is mainly for mobile phone batteries.

"The S-MT production line is very important, and automatic patching, as one of the core technologies of electronic products, can be said to be an important criterion for judging the technical level of an electronics factory. The factory has five S-MT production lines, including S-MT automatic placement machines and reflow soldering, wave soldering and other soldering equipment. ”

Listening to his introduction, Meng Qian looked at the equipment again: "Are they all imported products?" ”

"The high-end technology in this area is mainly Japan and Germany, such as the placement machine, which comes from Panasonic and Fujifilm, which can carry out high-precision placement of various micro electronic components, with an accuracy of up to 0.025mm, which belongs to the cutting-edge level of the industry.

High-end, especially innovative, the purchase of equipment will be a big expense, the placement machine is cheaper than hundreds of thousands, and foreign imports are tens of millions, a complete production line down, the cost of imported equipment is a big number; He also needs to produce his own materials.

In addition to money and equipment, manpower is most needed.

Meng Qian gave Hu Yue the task: "Find as many professionals as possible, from materials to production design, there is a big demand, and the treatment is very good." ”

"I know a lot of people who are in this area." Hu Yue did not prevaricate.

"Very good, I'll try to recruit some more and try to build a good team."

……

If the materials and production equipment are sophisticated, the new battery will be stronger.

Meng Qian's best work in the laboratory is 2.8 times the capacity, but theoretically it has not yet reached the limit, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, and the charging time of triple capacity and shorter charging time is not far away. And all of this needs to be prepared to burn money and pave the way for commercialization.

In addition to the technical aspects, the recruitment of other positions in the company is also hot.

The attractiveness of a company with a capital of more than 50 million is not weak, and the recruitment information is hung out, and the electronic resume is a bunch of them. The demand for positions in companies is also greater than in software companies, and the finance department, for example, can be delegated to an accounting firm, but now needs its own finance department.

Meng Qian began to get busy.

In the past, he was in charge of more than a dozen people, and he was not under much pressure and was very relaxed. Now the position is complex and the demand is large, he has to pay attention to technology and management, if it is not for the help of his assistant, he will definitely be a mess. In the long run, it is possible for thousands of people in the company to be in the future, and he will definitely not be able to manage it.

He is self-aware and is good at technology, not management.

In addition to the recruitment of ordinary employees, the company's senior management is also in short supply, and the management is related to development, so Meng Qian uses a more high-end recruitment method - headhunting services. He needs headhunters to recommend outstanding high-end talents for him, and have the ability to lead the development of the entire company.

……

A few days later, the technical team was organized by Hu Yue.

The number of people is less than ten, and it is because of the essence and not the many. In the case that the core technology was conquered by Meng Qian, the most important task they faced was: product cost performance. Get the best performance out of it while saving costs, and find the best combination point for commercialization.

Meng Qian instructed the team to task: "Because most of the materials rely on independent research and development, we need to set up a factory; On the issue of production lines, the company aims at high-end battery products, the quality is first guaranteed, followed by the cost, the current cost of the product is too high and needs to be compressed. ”

The reason is very simple, like a product with 3 times the capacity and 3.5 times the capacity, it is great to increase the capacity by 3.5 times, but if the cost is twice that of the former, this business cannot be done. The team's task was to select the most efficient and cost-effective route.

This requires frequent testing and screening.

Hu Yue was appointed as the team leader, and he was the first to say: "Material cost control, production cost control, two tasks, the R & D team will start as soon as possible." ”

"Very good, the equipment that needs to be added to the laboratory, you can tell me at any time." Meng Qian expressed the trust of a leader who helped Hu Yue build his prestige.
