King of Industry

  Chapter 801 Second 'Research Team'

   Sitting in the chairman's office on the top floor of "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company", Zhao Guoyang rarely had time to enjoy the scenery outside.

  Across the river is the Bund, and to the east is the coastline. Through floor-to-ceiling glass, you can have a panoramic view of the river and sea.

   It has been more than ten days since I came back from the metallurgical work conference in Beijing, and New Year's Day has already passed.

   In a blink of an eye, it is time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

   During the past ten days, Zhao Guoyang has not returned to Hongda Machinery Factory.

  Because Factory Director Mu knew his situation, of course he would not urge him to do anything, but just informed him that he should try to come back before the Spring Festival to discuss the restructuring of the factory.

   Of course, Zhao Guoyang agreed to everything.

  After the previous metallurgical work conference, Zhao Guoyang has relisted the "Ship Industry-Special Materials" Research Institute under "Xingtai International".

   Now this research institute has already hung up the brands of several ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, the State Oceanic Administration, the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry.

   This means that Zhao Guoyang's research institute can get full support from these ministries and commissions in the future.

   In addition, Minister Chen from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry also promised him that in the future, his research institute will be able to select excellent talents from the universities directly under the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry.

  This promise is actually more meaningful to Zhao Guoyang.

   You must know that some heavyweight metallurgical colleges in China do not only have "metallurgical majors".

   Some powerful metallurgical universities offer majors including mechanical, electronic, radio and other engineering majors.

  With the "golden brand name" of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, Zhao Guoyang believes that in the future, he and the research institute will no longer have to worry about recruiting people.

  The knock on the door interrupted Zhao Guoyang's thoughts, he straightened up and said loudly: "Please come in!"

  The person who came in was Zhang Yufang. She has basically established her second-in-command position in "Xingtai International". Everyone, including returnees and high-achieving students like Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman, respects her very much.

   "Mr. Zhao, several graduates from McGill University in Canada have arrived. Would you like to go and have a look?"

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang said "ah" and said, "It's coming so soon? Then we must go and have a look. Those graduate students are going to work in our 'Xingtai International' for a long time, or should they be respected !"

  The graduate student of McGill University that Zhang Yufang mentioned was the few students who Zhao Guoyang met on the "trip to North America" ​​who were engaged in the "unmanned car" project.

  When Zhao Guoyang met them, these students were seeking financial assistance for their own projects.

  Zhao Guoyang, who knows people with his eyes, has taken a fancy to the creativity of these young people, directly and fully funded their project research, and promised to open a "research institute" for them in China.

  Originally among these few students, Oviglia and Emma were going to give up their studies directly and follow Zhao Guoyang to China to start a new era.

  But after Zhao Guoyang thought about it for a while, he decided not to rush.

   After all, they only need to stay in school for another year or so, and they can complete all their postgraduate studies. It is really not worthwhile to give up halfway.

   What's more, the "Ship Industry-Special Materials" research institute at "Xingtai International" had not yet been established, so it would be too ostentatious and hasty to set up a "Automobile and Motor Vehicle New Technology Research Institute" rashly.

  After thinking about it, Zhao Guoyang made an appointment with them a year and a half later, and met them in SJ City, China, to formally admit them into his company.

   Now, the time agreed by both parties has come.

After chatting with Zhang Yufang for a few words, and hearing from her that six students were already waiting at the reception desk downstairs, Zhao Guoyang stood up and waved his hands: "Okay, Teacher Zhang, let's go over to welcome the second student from our company." A 'research team'!"

  Zhang Yufang is of course very clear about the Canadian affairs, after all, she was also accompanying Zhao Guoyang the whole time.

  The students Ovelia, Emma, ​​Isabella, Noah, Mason, Benjamin and others just now were a little nervous when they were questioned by some unfamiliar faces from "Xingtai International".

  When they met Zhang Yufang later, these people felt very cordial.

  Several girls dragged her to ask this and that, which almost made Zhang Yufang busy.

  Thinking of the scene when they first met, Zhang Yufang smiled slightly.

When she followed Zhao Guoyang out, she couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhao, are you really planning to build another technical team? In this way, won't our 'Xingtai International' have to invest a lot of money again? "

  Zhao Guoyang certainly understood what Zhang Yufang meant.

  The assistant to the chairman is worried that the company's funds are not enough to support two large technical teams.

The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and Zhao Guoyang explained with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to worry about this. Like the 'Ship Industry-Special Materials' Institute, our 'Automobile and Motor Vehicle New Technology Institute' is not sole proprietorship."

"Before I made an agreement with Chairman Mao of Songqi Group, Chairman Wu of FAW Group, and Chairman Wang of Jiangnan Jinling Automobile Group Company, the research funds of our research institute will be equally distributed by the three of them !"

  Hearing this, Zhang Yufang was a little confused.

She let out an "uh" and said suspiciously: "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean, we at 'Xingtai International' don't need to spend a penny? We can create a new research institute? This is...too exaggerated Come on!"

Zhao Guoyang shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "It's not an exaggeration at all! Teacher Zhang, you must know that the skeleton of this team was built by our 'Xingtai International', and Olivia, Isabel They are all technicians registered with our company."

   "We provide technology and personnel, Chairman Mao and others provide funds, and the scientific research and technology obtained are shared by both parties. This is a very cost-effective thing for Songqi Group and FAW Group."

  After Zhao Guoyang explained it like this, Zhang Yufang understood it all at once.

  Obviously, because of the existence of this big boss, whether it is Mao Zhichun of Songqi Group or Wu Jianlong of FAW Group, they must have great trust in the scientific research capabilities of this research institute.

Under the circumstances that the future of this "research institute" is optimistic, the three car manufacturers with deep pockets come to inject capital into this "research institute" at the same time in order to win the right to use the future technology patents of the institute. This is really nothing. You can hesitate.

  These bigwigs must have calculated it a long time ago. With Mr. Zhao's current attainments in domestic automobile technology, their investment must be worth the money.

  Maybe, the three car companies had a quarrel for a while because of the share of the capital injection.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Yufang smiled admiringly when she looked at the profile of Zhao Guoyang in front of her.

  Yes, although Mr. Zhao has not been around "Xingtai International" for a long time, he may not have directed the people below to do as many things.

  But everyone in the company knows one thing, this young and promising Mr. Zhao is the backbone of the company.

   Without his existence, "Xingtai International" would not have the current momentum of development.

   Just when Zhang Yufang was sighing, Zhao Guoyang turned his head and glanced at her, and said, "Well, yes, Mr. Zhang. The Huaxia Automobile Group Company must be officially put into production a year ago."

   "I have some shares over there, and I also serve as the head of the technology research and development department. The right to use the patents of our research institute should also be counted as one of them. In this way, my shares are not in vain..."

   "Understood!" Zhang Yufang smiled and nodded repeatedly.

  When Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang arrived at the reception, the company's two administrative assistants, Song Meiting and Xiao Ling, were chatting with several Canadian students with smiles on their faces.

   Everyone is about the same age, and there are quite a few common languages.

  Among the several students, girls accounted for three, Song Meiting and Xiao Ling were naturally happy to chat with them more.

  Seeing the arrival of their boss through the glass, the two administrative assistants quickly reminded a few students, and then stood up to greet him.

   "Mr. Zhao, Assistant Zhang!"

  Zhao Guoyang smiled and nodded at the two girls, and then turned his attention to the team he accepted at the beginning.

  Compared with more than a year ago, the current team has shed its original childishness and gradually matured.

  Isabella's hair has also been curled, and Benjamin's beard has also grown. Everyone's image has changed a lot.

   "Ovelia, Isabella... welcome!" Zhao Guoyang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang and I have been waiting for this day, but we have been waiting for five hundred days!"

  Listening to Zhao Guoyang's kind words, several Canadian students felt very honored, and bursts of smiles appeared on their faces.

   "It's our honor to be able to enter Xingtai International and work under Mr. Zhao and Assistant Zhang!" the leader Ovelia said with a smile.

  Foreigners sometimes take face matters more seriously than Chinese people.

  The so-called "flower sedan chairs are carried by everyone", this kind of thing is similar everywhere.

   Zhao Guoyang expressed his importance to these students, and they naturally reciprocated.

   After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Guoyang stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture and said, "It's still early for dinner, and Mr. Zhang and I will take you to the guest house first to settle your accommodation issues."

   "Then, let's check the time again, should we go to your workplace first, or go directly to dinner."

  After hearing this, Isabella smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, you don't need to go to the guest house, just go to the work place. Anyway, we are here, you will not let us sleep on the street?"
