The economy is developing, the times are advancing, and in the 90s, air tickets are much easier to buy than two years ago. Although I also had to look for a relationship, I didn't have to provide a letter of introduction issued by a unit at or above the department level and a work permit for a cadre at or above the deputy department level as before.

It's still China Southern Airlines, it's still a Boeing 747, Moutai is gone, cigarettes and ashtrays on the chairs are still there. If they had a choice, they would rather continue to provide Moutai than see the cabin be made into a miasma.

When they went to Japan to apply for a switch panel patent two years ago, Wei Huaming and Xie Jingwen looked very excited, taking pictures and grabbing the window position, and did not stop until the plane took off.

This is a business trip and an academic exchange.

In addition to the charter and the two of them, there are Sun Xiaoguang, director of the Systems Engineering Laboratory, Tong Jiaming, director of the Hong Kong PLC R&D project, Liang Bao'er, deputy director of the Ministry of Commerce, and Song Jia, the third director of the business center of Heung Kong Company.

Wei Huaming and Xie Jingwen, two old friends, were lying on the porthole looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Tong Jiaming had studied in the United States after graduating from Chinese University, and the Ivy League Ph.D. was chatting with a foreign tourist on the same plane. Maybe it's a system, or maybe because they are all women, Liang Baoer and Song Jia also had a hot chat.

He doesn't smoke, can't sleep and can't sleep, Sun Xiaoguang is bored, and uncharacteristically cares about the company's internal affairs, "The articles of association, there was no communication in advance, and there was no investigation and research, is the company's structure and personnel adjustment too hasty?" ”

"It does seem a bit sloppy."

The charter felt a little surprised, but still patiently explained: "There are several reasons why it is so arbitrary, one is that the company really needs to make adjustments, and the other is that our promotion and selection system only covers the manager level, and then it is gone." Everyone is very good, if the worker is promoted to team leader, team leader to class leader, team leader to workshop deputy supervisor, deputy supervisor to supervisor, it will inevitably lead to a series of unnecessary contradictions. What's more, we are a company, not a government department, and we don't need to think about those intricate interpersonal relationships at all.

In addition, the company is getting bigger and bigger, more and more investment projects, and most of them are abroad, the political system is different, the cultural background is different, the whip is beyond the reach, the headquarters can not manage every branch and factory, and can not be more and more branches and factories overhead, so the regional president of the level of executives, only need to be responsible to the board of directors! ”

Sun Xiaoguang suddenly remembered that the managers of the overseas department were only shareholders of NB Electrician, not shareholders of NB Electrical, and couldn't help but smile and ask: "Professional managers? ”

The charter nodded and said meaningfully: "In the appointment of senior executives, the board of directors has absolute authority, and can be selected internally or hired professional managers with rich management experience. In this way, everyone will definitely have a sense of crisis, but a sense of crisis is not a bad thing, in fact, I have never been down-to-earth in my heart in the past few years, and maybe only people who are not down-to-earth can do a career. ”

The ban on the original shares of NB Electricians was lifted, and the company had dozens of more millionaires.

Contentment is a virtue, but it's not a good thing for a company that's still in the development stage. Sun Xiaoguang sighed and sighed a lot: "You are right, the past two years have been smooth, and the sense of crisis has become weaker and weaker, especially after NB Electrician is listed, some people plan to buy a house, some people plan to buy a car, and some people want to emigrate." Dreams change the future, I have a few dollars in my hands, and a few can remember the dreams at that time, alas...... I don't have the same enthusiasm as when I lived in the dormitory! ”

An era full of ideals and passion has passed, and I can no longer see the scholarly atmosphere of the year, and I can no longer hear the ghosts crying wolf howls of the year, and the charter sighed secretly, and said casually: "Life is not satisfactory nine times out of ten, at least you have me, Lao Huang, Lao Guo, Lao Wei and Lao Zhang, who studied in Germany, they have, not to mention that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, there will always be people like us who can stick to their dreams." ”

Everyone has their own ambitions, and they are all good friends and colleagues, Sun Xiaoguang didn't want to continue this topic, and suddenly asked: "Charter, you borrowed 20 million pounds, just to give yourself a sense of crisis?" ”

"Sort of, but the company does need the loan."

Sun Xiaoguang was confused, and asked puzzledly: "Why don't you lend Hong Kong dollars or US dollars directly?" ”

Iraq's invasion of Kuwait led to a sharp rise in international oil prices, which reminded the charter that it is important to do business, but also to do business, and to build a factory, why not take advantage of it?

In two years, Soros will have to attack the pound, and I'm sorry for God if he doesn't fish in troubled waters to fish for some R&D funds.

£2,000 is just the beginning, and when the German power plant and factory are completed and put into operation, and when NB Electrician officially launches the smart building business, he will have to borrow more pounds. As for how to operate, the company has an investment department, so that those professionals who stare at NB electrician stocks all day long can find a way, whether it is the futures market or the stock market, as long as they can get the maximum benefit.

These things can only be hidden in my heart, and even my brother-in-law Liu Siwei didn't tell him, and the charter is still that ridiculous excuse: "Borrowing pounds sounds like a lot, only 20 million, and if you borrow 270 million Hong Kong dollars, my mother will have to be scared to death." ”

Sun Xiaoguang was really ridiculed, and immediately shook his head again and again: "You can do this kind of thing." ”

Three hours passed unconsciously, and the plane landed safely on the runway of Taoxian Airport, which was only completed two years ago.

The destination of this trip, Andong Institute of Technology, has a high reputation in old China, and its alumni are all over the world.

During the period when Zhang's father and son were in charge of Northeast China, the college developed rapidly and ranked among the "Top Ten Famous Universities" in China, along with Central University, Yenching University, Sun Yat-sen University, B City University, CQ University, Fu Jen University and other Niu schools. In 1928, Zhang Shaoshuai, who had a mixed reputation, personally served as the principal.

After the "918" incident, the school moved south to Beiping, and then entered the SC, and the teachers and students went into exile. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he returned to the northeast to resume school. However, in 1950, it was split into Andong Institute of Technology and Andong Normal University...... After a bumpy ride, it would not be until three years later that its earliest name would be restored.

It is not a prestigious school, nor is it the alma mater of future generations, but it is absolutely one of the few in terms of computers and automatic control. In the near future, the software developed by the school-run company An Nguyen Group will be widely used in engineering, electric power, telecommunications, real estate, and factory design industries, with the highest software commercialization rate in China, and will also be the largest offshore software outsourcing provider in China.

Therefore, compared with those first-class universities that specialize in sending talents to Ivy League schools, the charter admires Andong Institute of Technology, which is still unknown.

"Dean Zhang, let me introduce to you, Mr. Sun Xiaoguang, Chief Engineering Officer of NB Electrical, Director of NB System Engineering Laboratory, and Mr. Tong Jiaming, Director of Software Project, this is Miss Liang Baoer, Deputy Director of NB Electric's Business Department......

Song Jia, the director of the business center of Xiangjiang Company, came once, and when she saw Vice President Zhang personally picking up the plane, she hurriedly put down the trolley box and introduced it.

"The discoverer of the giant magnetoresistance effect, long admired."

When the God of Wealth arrived, Vice President Zhang was a little incoherent: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be so young, this is my business card, Director Sun...... Welcome, Mr. Tong, it's an honor to know you, the northeast is not better than the south, the weather is cooler, Miss Liang, you put on your coat quickly, don't catch a cold. ”

In addition to his position in the college, Vice President Zhang is also the chairman of Ontario Development Software System Co., Ltd., and Tong Jiaming has always been very incomprehensible about the business of universities that cultivate educational talents. Sun Xiaoguang has warned him countless times about this, so he reluctantly accepted the business card.

When we meet for the first time, a greeting is indispensable.

It wasn't until the guests were greeted to sit on the college bus that Vice Dean Zhang got to the point: "Mr. Zhang, Director Sun, and the information brought by Director Song last time we have carefully studied, and more than a dozen experts and professors of the college and the company's technical personnel agree that it is no problem to develop sub-programs and interrupt programs on behalf of your company. However, our software company is just starting out, and the personnel and equipment are not yet in place, and the time may not meet your company's requirements. ”

Programmable controller is an electronic system of digital operation operation, which adopts memory that can be programmed to perform storage logic operations and sequence control, timing, counting and arithmetic operations and other operation instructions, and controls various types of mechanical equipment or production processes through digital or analog input and output interfaces.

It can replace the traditional relay circuit to achieve logic control and sequence control, which can be used for single equipment control, multi-machine group control and automatic assembly line. It is widely used in steel, petroleum, chemical industry, electric power, building materials, machinery manufacturing, automobiles, textiles, transportation, environmental protection, water treatment, culture and entertainment and other industries, and is the backbone of industrial modernization.

As early as three years ago, the then R&D center of the electrical division began research.

With the establishment of NB Electric's Hong Kong System Engineering Laboratory, Berlin NB Laboratory and NB Laboratory's Taiwan R&D Center, the hardware design of the programmable controller is no longer a problem, and the key is the programmable control software that matches it.

In order to strive for this market, in order to drive the development of inverter and drive technology, the charter finally decided to put it in place in one step, "borrowing" from the program launched by Orient more than ten years later, with a clear structure, easy to find instructions, and strict distinction between data types.

It's hard to develop software, it's even harder to develop programmable software, and it's even harder to develop a programmable software that can be accepted by the whole world! Systems engineering labs alone are not enough, and outsourcing must be sought like chips.

However, Ontar Software is also in the development stage, and it is not the listed company with tens of thousands of employees in later generations.

Realizing that this was not an opportunity, the charter asked thoughtfully: "Dean Zhang, do you think there is any possibility of more in-depth cooperation between Ontario and our NB Electrical?"

In Hong Kong, NB Lab collaborates with several universities in Hong Kong. In the Special Economic Zone, NB Laboratory cooperated with Xiangjiang University to establish the Institute of Optoelectronics; In Germany, there is the NB laboratory in Berlin; According to Director Song, NB Electric also has a R&D center in Taiwan.

Computers are still expensive luxuries, computers have not been popularized in thousands of households, the prospects are bright, the road is bumpy, Vice President Zhang, who is worried about funds, his eyes lit up: "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?" ”

The charter smiled and said, "President Zhang, I have great confidence in your company, and you can talk about any kind of cooperation, such as investment and shareholding." ”

NB Electric donated 10 million yuan to the Hope Project in the first half of the year, and also vigorously fought six infringement lawsuits, and Xiangjiang University has set an example and cooperated with them without considering political risks.

Vice President Zhang was overjoyed and asked eagerly: "Mr. Zhang, how much can NB Electric invest?" ”

Thinking that there were still more than 10 million pounds left to spend in the charter, Sun Xiaoguang was overjoyed, and couldn't help but interject: "Principal Zhang, it depends on how much you need?" ”

"5 million, if you can invest 5 million, then I can persuade the party committee of the hospital to agree to your company's shares."
