Chapter 658: Difficulties Faced

The physical manufacturing sector of Changda Group has entered a period of stable operation three or four years ago, and the listed company controlled by Changda Group, its main business pension business is now expanding in an orderly manner as planned. Guan Yuntian believes that in the relatively stable stage of the enterprise, the focus should be on improving the scientific and technological strength of the enterprise.

Guan Yuntian has long realized the importance of the scientific and technological strength of the enterprise, and for this reason, four or five years ago he specially invested in the construction of a technology center of more than 5,000 square meters, and also spent a lot of money to recruit Tong Wei, a doctor of materials science who graduated from 985 University from a large state-owned scientific research institution.

Dr. Tong went to Changda Group as the director of the technology center, and under his leadership, he developed the recycling technology of waste power batteries, but in addition, the technology center has not carried out decent scientific research and development activities in recent years, which not only makes a large number of resources idle, but also wastes high-tech talents like Dr. Tong. Although Dr. Tong was promoted to the technical director of the group company more than two years ago, that was not the original intention of introducing talents.

Guan Yuntian is a persistent person, when the Changda Group began to take shape, he was determined to be a century-old enterprise, so he eliminated interference, introduced talents, and completely belonged to his own Changda Group to carry out joint-stock reform, making it a joint-stock enterprise with a modern governance structure.

Now Changda Group has reached a new height in all aspects, Guan Yuntian feels that he should make a difference in scientific and technological innovation, but he is not an expert in this area after all, and he does not know where the focus of innovation should be.

Through this conversation, Guan Yuntian knew the direction of Changda Group's scientific and technological innovation, but after careful analysis, he found that there are many difficulties faced by enterprises to implement scientific and technological innovation.

Fortunately, Changda Group is well funded, which is enough to ensure the capital investment required for scientific and technological innovation, which is what many scientific research institutes and colleges and universities lack.

The main problem faced by Changda Group now is the lack of innovative talents, in terms of the two innovation directions established, the talent pool of drug research and development is almost blank, and the new materials are slightly better, in addition to the leading figure Dr. Tong, there are several backbones in the technology center, but they are only qualified experimenters, and do not have the ability to conduct independent scientific research, so the innovative research and development talents in new materials are not enough.

"Obviously, if the Changda Group Technology Center wants to make a difference in new drug research and development and new material innovation, the first task is to solve the talent problem.

Ye Jiayi thought for a while and first said: "If you want to start technological innovation immediately, especially in the research and development of new drugs, you must introduce expert-level talents, and you can carry out work in place." Changda Group can meet the requirements of the other party in terms of welfare benefits, which is enough to impress the hearts of experts, but I am afraid that the other party is used to staying in big cities and is unwilling to work in more remote places, so I think that at the beginning stage, we should adopt a more flexible way to introduce talents, and do not stick to a fixed model. ”

"Product innovation in new materials can be led by me, the introduction of talents is not so urgent for the time being, mainly new drug research and development, and it is true that the talent problem should be solved first. However, it is indeed not so easy to find a suitable innovation leader in a short period of time, and I think the flexible way to introduce talents mentioned by Jiayi is a feasible move, at least at the beginning stage, which is of practical significance. Dr. Tong said.

"How do you do it, and where is the best place to start?"

Ye Jiayi seems to have considered similar issues for a long time, "It's really not complicated to say, I think the way Tong Wei was introduced at the beginning is a good reference." ”

Guan Yuntian still remembers the original operation process, "Are you saying that you will first find a drug R&D institution, cooperate with the other party to develop new drugs, and then attract the main R&D personnel according to the situation?"

"The meaning is almost the same, the specific operation process may be a little different, but that is secondary, can be adapted, the key is to find a suitable drug research and development institution first, not only to have a new project worthy of cooperation, but also to have Changda Group interested in talents, especially the latter, I am afraid it is not easy to meet. Ye Jiayi said.

"Yes, it may be easier to find new projects worthy of cooperation, but the leader of the project is not only an expert-level talent, but also willing to leave the system and leave the original unit, which is probably a small incident. "Guan Yuntian said.

"Isn't it, although the experts' minds are filled with modern knowledge, but not everyone thinks as much as Tong Wei, many people are still swayed by traditional concepts when making decisions, and like to stay in the system and enjoy the atmosphere of life in a big city, although there are not many opportunities there, and they are reluctant to leave that environment. ”

As an MBA who studied at Duke University and worked as a department executive in a multinational company at the beginning of her career, Ye Jiayi came to Changda Group 20 years ago, and her concept is modern enough.

Jiayi said that this situation is indeed common in the system, but there are exceptions, such as some technical personnel have enough scientific research level and have made some achievements, because of bad interpersonal relationships, they have not been reused in the end, and they are depressed, if there are suitable conditions, they are still willing to jump out of the system. Tong Wei used to work in a scientific research institution, and this situation is not uncommon.

"Although it is difficult to find such talents, it is not possible, well, let's pay attention to this aspect of the situation, contact more with similar scientific research institutions, and choose cooperation projects is one thing, mainly to introduce talents. ”

......

Enterprises are not scientific research institutes, nor are they colleges and universities, especially joint-stock private enterprises like Changda Group, even if they are famous and large, if they want to engage in scientific research or technology development within the enterprise, the professional and technical personnel required can only rely on themselves to solve.

Unlike other professions, scientific research and development requires both a high level of theoretical knowledge and a certain amount of experience, and such talents are difficult to find even among fresh master's or doctoral graduates from universities and scientific research institutions, after all, they lack sufficient practical experience. If we want to carry out innovative research as soon as possible, we can only pay a double price, dig into the wall from the relevant units, and look for ready-made talents, because they have not yet formed the original accumulation of talents at the beginning stage.

This approach may seem like a bit of a ** way, but the reality forces them to do it this way, and it has nothing to do with morality.

Although Guan Yuntian is not in charge of the physical manufacturing industry, the two existing pharmaceutical projects of Changda Group are personally prepared by him, so he has had some dealings with professionals in the pharmaceutical industry, although he has not been in touch for a long time, after all, it is easier to contact than not to know each other.

Five or six years ago, because of some matters related to the two pharmaceutical products of Changda Group, Guan Yuntian had many dealings with Director Huang of the Planning Department of the Provincial Medical Administration under the introduction of a friend, but since then, he has not been in contact with the other party for two or three years.

Guan Yuntian dialed out a phone number with the mentality of trying it out, which was not bad, although he hadn't been in touch for a long time, the phone actually got through, and when he heard the other party pick it up, Guan Yuntian tried to ask: "Hello! Is this Director Huang's office?"

"This is the Planning Department, but I'm not Director Huang. ”

"Sorry to interrupt. May I ask where is Director Huang located?"

"Don't you know? It seems that you haven't been in touch for a long time, Director Huang was promoted last year, and he is now the deputy director of the Pharmaceutical Administration!"

Guan Yuntian was slightly surprised, "Oh, I really haven't heard of this, do you know his phone number in his office now?"

"You know, you can record it. ”

"Thank you!"

According to the number provided by the other party, Guan Yuntian dialed it, and the phone was connected, but no one answered until the last sound.

Ten minutes later, Guan Yuntian called again, but no one answered, so he had to wait patiently, until the third time, the phone was finally answered, Guan Yuntian asked eagerly: "Hello! Is it Director Huang?"

"I'm sorry, Deputy Director Huang went out for a meeting, I'm a staff member here. ”

"It's really not a coincidence, I'm a little anxious to find out the situation from Director Huang, when will he come back?" Guan Yuntian asked anxiously.

"He just left yesterday on a business trip, and I'm afraid he won't be back in a week. ”

"Ouch, what can I do? Can you tell me his mobile phone number?" Guan Yuntian looked very anxious.

"Mobile phone number, don't you know?" the other party seemed to be a little puzzled.

"Oh, I have a working relationship with Director Huang, and the contact information I left before was the phone number of the office. Guan Yuntian explained.

The other party was relieved and reported Lao Huang's mobile phone number.

Since he is out for a meeting, it must be inconvenient to answer the phone during the day, and with Guan Yuntian's quality, it is impossible for him to call and disturb Lao Huang in broad daylight. At about nine o'clock in the evening, according to Guan Yuntian's experience, he felt that Lao Huang should return to the hotel even if he participated in the entertainment, so he used his mobile phone to talk to Lao Huang, and the other party quickly picked up, "Hey, who is it?" It sounded very clear, and it seemed that Lao Huang was not drunk.

"Huang Ju, I heard that you have been promoted to director, congratulations!" Guan Yuntian said.

"Hey, it's been more than a year, and it's just a deputy director, nothing. May I ask ...... you?"

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, do you remember Guan Yuntian of Changda Group?"

"Changda Group?" Lao Huang tried his best to recall, "You are talking about the Changda Group in Fuyuan County, right? Guan Yuntian----, I remembered, you are President Guan? Ouch, I almost can't remember after not contacting me for a long time." ”

"Yes, I am Guan Yuntian of Changda Group. Huang Ju, you didn't tell me when you were promoted, I should congratulate you!"

"Forget it, how about it, the company is okay? I remember that you are also making medicines, and now the business is going well, right?"

"The company and the pharmaceutical business are developing well, I should have taken the time to report to you, but there are too many things, and I can't take care of them when I am busy, and I invite Huang Ju Haihan!" Guan Yuntian said.

"You're an entrepreneur, where can you report to me! Call today, do you have anything to do?"

"Changda Group wants to make the drug business stronger and bigger, we plan to make some efforts in new drug research and development, but we are not very familiar with the domestic drug research and development situation, I want to ask you about this knowledge, I heard that you are on a business trip, then wait for you to come back and talk about it, then I will visit you in the provincial capital." ”

"Do you want to do new drug production, or do you want to do new drug research and development?" Although Lao Huang is not a medical expert, he also has a deputy senior professional title, and he is very interested in similar information about the company.

"There are both, if we encounter a good new product, we are willing to invest in industrialization and bring the new product to the market, but our R&D center also wants to make some efforts in the research and development of new drugs. "Guan Yuntian said.

"Looks like you already have a plan, what are you going to do?"

"Huang Bureau, it's not early, you're away on a business trip again, this kind of thing can't be said clearly on the phone, let's wait for you to come back and talk about it, so as not to disturb your rest." ”

"Okay, you come to the bureau to find me in a week, and we'll have an interview. ”

Ten days later, the office of Deputy Director Huang of the Provincial Pharmaceutical Administration, Guan Yuntian arrived as scheduled, after the two exchanged pleasantries, Guan Yuntian introduced to Lao Huang the plans of the Changda Group Technology Center in drug innovation, Lao Huang listened very attentively, an enterprise can have such ambitions, Lao Huang was very surprised, "If nothing else, you can have such an idea, it is very admirable." ”

"Huang Ju, how far do you think we are from developed countries in terms of new drug research and development?"

"I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry for many years, and I know the whole picture of the industry, but the answer to your question is not clear in a few words. ”
