Chapter 479: No Regrets
In order to provide Dr. Tong with a proper remuneration without violating the financial system, Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi came up with the best of both worlds, and they decided to give Dr. Tong a house that he could choose between his city and the provincial capital.
This decision was a bit unexpected by Tong Wei, "Jiayi, this, this reward is too high, I feel a little ashamed!"
"You're welcome, Changda Group has always respected knowledge and talents, and your efforts should be rewarded and should not be ashamed. Ye Jiayi said.
"However, this reward is far beyond the value of my labor, how can I face you in the future?" Tong Wei thought further, he was afraid that accepting such a valuable gift would bring pressure to himself.
Indeed, a house of more than 100 square meters is worth nearly three million in the provincial capital, and even in the third-tier city where Tong Wei is located, it will cost more than one million yuan to buy a house with an agreed area. Just providing some technical guidance for the experimental center of Changda Group, and accepting such a generous remuneration, Tong Wei couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
Ye Jiayi felt that Tong Wei was thinking a little too much, "What's not easy to face? You don't need any pressure at all, don't worry, we won't embarrass you, if Changda Group wants to poach you from the New Materials Research Institute, we will not only use other methods, but also ask for your consent." You can accept this reward with peace of mind, except for providing guidance to the best of our ability for the development of waste battery recycling technology of Changda Group, we do not have any additional requirements for you. ”
In addition to feeling that the remuneration is too generous, it is also difficult for Tong Wei to choose between two cities. To tell the truth, he is very willing to live in the provincial capital here, although this city is not as developed as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but in the national provincial capitals, at least ranked before the tenth, the transportation here is developed, the permanent population is nearly 10 million, and the level of urban science, education and medical care is in the upper reaches of the country. On the other hand, the third-tier city where he lives now is far from the same in all aspects.
However, at least before being promoted to the senior title, Tong Wei did not want to leave the Institute of New Materials. Outside the system, in accordance with the latest policies of the state personnel system, professional and technical personnel of units of various ownership systems can still be promoted to professional titles. Perhaps it is the influence of traditional thinking, in Tong Wei's mind, he thinks that the title promoted within the system has a higher gold content. In fact, there is no such situation at all, this is only the prejudice of some personnel in the system, because in the process of promotion of senior titles, the assessment standards for professional and technical personnel inside and outside the system are the same.
Since it is impossible to leave the Institute of New Materials within three or five years, it makes no sense to choose housing in a provincial capital. Of course, if you are an ordinary person, choose a house in the provincial capital here, then sell it, and then go back to the city where you live now to buy a house of the same size, you can still have nearly half of the funds left, and it is not difficult to maximize your own interests. Such a simple account, Tong Wei will naturally calculate, but after all, he is a senior technical expert, especially in front of his old classmate Ye Jiayi, at least he still has to be reserved, Tong Wei will never do that kind of thing.
After careful consideration, Tong Wei said on the spot: "Old classmate, if you have to let me accept it, then I still choose to buy a house with us." ”
"Yes, the next time you go home, you discuss with your family, choose a house of 130 or 40 square meters in your better community, and after determining the price with the developer, tell me their account number, and the finance department of Changda Group will pay you. You don't want to save us money, the location and floor of the house must be the best. Ye Jiayi advised.
"To be honest, the development of waste battery recycling technology has only just begun, and I am very uneasy to accept such a generous remuneration before I have achieved anything. ”
"Didn't I say it earlier, let you not think too much, we have no other purpose,

Even if the development of waste battery recycling technology is not successful, Changda Group will give you the remuneration you deserve, and we will not regret it. "Ye Jiayi tried to create a relaxed environment.
"From the analysis of existing technical data at home and abroad, the recycling technology of waste batteries is difficult, but it is not unattainable, as long as it takes time, it should be able to make a breakthrough. Tong Wei is full of confidence in technology development.
"Okay, the house is settled, the next time I go home, hurry up and do it, don't my parents in my hometown want to live with you for a long time? Here in the experimental center, if there is anything that needs my cooperation, if you put it forward, I will do my best to create favorable conditions for you. Ye Jiayi said.
......
The construction of the battery industrial production line is in full swing, and it will be put into production in half a year, although it has negotiated the intention with the chairman of Tiancheng Automobile Company, Mr. Zhou, but so far has not signed a supply contract, "or send an invitation to Lao Zhou in your name to see what his attitude is." Ye Jiayi suggested to Guan Yuntian.
"What did you talk to Lao Zhou about on the phone last time?"
"The supporting intentions are set, just a price problem, at that time Lao Zhou asked to enjoy the discount, I didn't agree, told him to sign the supply contract. Ye Jiayi said.
"How could he ask for a price concession? Is there any reason?"
"Lao Zhou is also calculating, I don't know where to know, he said that Changda brand battery in Chengsheng Automobile Company to do the actual test, not only provided many batches of samples, but also spent money, in their Tiancheng Automobile Company to do the actual measurement, for us to save a lot of money. ”
"Just by virtue of this, he wants to give a nine-percent discount on the price of the battery we supply to Chengsheng Automobile Company? This old Zhou is too whimsical! Okay, I'll call him and invite him to come over and talk, isn't there still the auto parts that Shen Yuehong talked about with him? It's better to talk about it together. Uh, has the cost of the battery been calculated?" Guan Yuntian said.
"The calculation has come out, if the annual output of 30,000 sets of high-capacity batteries in the first phase of the project is accurately calculated, the real cost is 10% lower than the original estimate. ”
"Oh, and the cost of achieving economies of scale is just different. ”
Guan Yuntian grabbed the phone on the table and called, and the phone was connected, "Hey, Mr. Zhou of Tiancheng Automobile Company? Hello Mr. Zhou! I am Guan Yuntian of Changda Group." ”
"Hello, Mr. Guan, I'm Lao Zhou, what's the matter with you?"
"It's been two or three months since we last met, right? Are you okay during this time?"
"Hey, we are both in business, we should have a mutual experience, what is good or not? In addition to being busy all day, we are still busy, and we don't have free time at all. Lao Zhou looked helpless.
"Yes, the administrative staff of the government department has holidays and weekends, and as long as we open our eyes, we will not be free for a moment. Mr. Zhou, if there are no other arrangements, I would like to invite you to come to Changda Group for a gathering in the near future, and by the way, what do you think?"
"First of all, thank you Mr. Guan for the invitation......! , I'll see if there are any other arrangements," Lao Zhou seemed to be looking at something, and paused for twenty or thirty seconds, "There are no arrangements to go out in the near future, or ----? Okay, I'll take some time to visit in the near future." ”
"Take a plane to the provincial capital, you notify me in advance, and I will send a car to pick you up at the airport when the time comes. ”
Three days later, at about 12 o'clock at noon, Guan Yuntian was waiting in the welcome hall of Changda Building, and ten minutes ago, he called the driver who went to the airport to pick up the airport, knowing that they were about to arrive.
At this time, the black Mercedes-Benz business car drove into the square in front of the Changda Building, and the driver made a small circle and parked the car at the entrance of the welcome hall of the Changda Building, and the door opened

Yes, the three people got out of the car, and the middle-aged man led by him was Lao Zhou, chairman of Tiancheng Automobile Company, and the two people who followed him, Guan Yuntian didn't know.
"Hello Mr. Zhou!Welcome to Changda Group!" Guan Yuntian took a few steps forward and took the initiative to shake hands with Lao Zhou.
"Hello Mr. Guan! Let me introduce," Lao Zhou turned his head to look, "This is Mr. Xiang of Tiancheng Company in charge of production, and this is Mr. Fei of our purchasing department." ”
Guan Yuntian shook hands with the two vice presidents one by one, "Welcome Mr. Xiang!"
Leading the three guests into his office, the guests put down their simple luggage, and after greeting each other, Guan Yuntian said: "It's not early, Mr. Zhou, why don't you have lunch first?"
"Okay, I'll talk about it after lunch. ”
"At noon, we eat a working meal in our canteen, and in the evening, we give three more people to pick up the wind. ”
"Mr. Guan doesn't have to be polite. ”
After having lunch with the guests, Guan Yuntian discussed with Lao Zhou, "Mr. Zhou, you catch a plane early in the morning, and you take a two-hour car ride from the airport to us, you can't help but be tired, why don't you go back to the hotel in the afternoon to rest, let's see you in the evening, and then go around our company tomorrow?"
Lao Zhou is already a middle-aged man in his fifties, and from morning to now, he really feels a little tired, "Okay, rest in the afternoon, and talk about work tomorrow." ”
The old Wednesday was sent to the hotel by the driver, and the fee of the purchasing department always had to go to the main desk to ask for a room, "I have booked a room for you, this is the door card." The driver took out three magnetic cards from his bag and handed them over.
At six o'clock in the evening, the Mercedes-Benz business vehicle driver knocked on the door of the three guests, "The leader asked me to pick you up and take you to the hotel, and I will wait for you downstairs." ”
More than ten minutes later, the driver pulled three guests out of the hotel, the county is not big, a while to the hotel, the guests followed the waiter to the reserved private room, the host has been waiting inside.
In addition to Guan Yuntian and Lao Zhou, the rest of the guests and hosts are meeting for the first time, before taking a seat, Guan Yuntian spoke first, "Let me introduce, this is Mr. Zhou, chairman of Tiancheng Automobile Company, I have met last time, this is Mr. Xiang of Tiancheng Company in charge of production, and that is Mr. Fei of Tiancheng Company's purchasing department." ”
On the host's side, Guan Yuntian introduced Ye Jiayi and Shen Yuehong to the guests, and the guests shook hands, exchanged greetings, and then arranged seats. Because the guests were not familiar with the local customs, Guan Yuntian saved them from the procedure of ordering food.
Ye Jiayi and Shen Yuehong quickly ordered all the dishes and drinks, and at the wine game that night, Guan Yuntian took out his ability to persuade wine according to local customs, and took the lead in setting an example, so that the three guests only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back.
In the morning of the next day, Ye Jiayi and Shen Yuehong took the guests to visit the agriculture-related projects in the northern mountainous area, and in the afternoon, they visited Changda Auto Parts Company and went to the battery production line under construction to take a turn.
From the two deputies brought by Lao Zhou, it can be seen that the purpose of his trip is basically the same as Guan Yuntian's thoughts. Therefore, on the third day of business talks, Guan Yuntian asked Ye Jiayi and Shen Yuehong to participate together.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, the guests and hosts sat down face-to-face in the small conference room, and Guan Yuntian spoke first, "Mr. Zhou, may I ask Tiancheng Automobile Company's electric vehicle project, to what extent is it progressing now?"
"According to Mr. Ye's last suggestion, we have also built the production capacity of 20,000 vehicles in two phases, and the design of the production line of the first phase of the project has been completed, and the plant is currently being built. ”
"Has the final supplier of the various accessories been decided?" Guan Yuntian asked knowingly.
"It's basically decided, the power system will use your Changda brand battery, didn't you tell Mr. Ye last time?"
"I knew that, but after all, there was no supply contract, and there was no movement for such a long time, so I thought the situation had changed. ”
