October 22.

The United States.

Seattle.

This is a city on the Pacific coast of Washington state.

It is also an important technology industry cluster in the United States, with large and small high-tech enterprises.

Microcrystalline technology's headquarters is located in the southeast suburb of Seattle, which is a huge factory covering an area of more than 100 mu. The production, R & D and management departments of microcrystalline technology are all here.

Just one office in downtown Seattle and one in New York.

It's eight fifteen in the morning.

Two vice presidents of microcrystalline technology and managers of various departments are standing at the gate.

They would not be hot standing in the shadow of the great arch.

All of them are white, except that the laboratory director is an African American. Today is the day when the new president takes office. They dare not neglect it.

Don't look at American freedom.

But there is still a lot of workplace culture.

They are also helpless. This company is sold by the rich as a toy, only as a game of capital, but it is their job, even their dream. The Americans also abhor the change of boss.

Besides money.

They also want what they do to be valuable.

But these values are often used as chips by capital to obtain more capital, even in the hands of Ge Feng, a Chinese American.

So. They didn't expect this new president at all. The other day, a team from a company called Tianyan came to investigate the whole microcrystalline technology from the bottom to the top.

They heard that the president of microcrystalline technology is also a talent of Tianyan. Because of the limited contact, they don't know what kind of company Tianyan is.

The former president was Ge Feng's man. He took the company away after selling it.

Think about it.

They all have a sense of doom.

Soon.

Two Audi SUVs are parked at the gate of microcrystalline technology.

All the people immediately cheer up. This is the car driven by Tianyan people.

The door opened.

From the above, there are six Chinese, four of whom they have met, are Tianyan people, and two fresh faces. I think one of them is the new president. They are not surprised that the president is a Chinese. Chinese bosses naturally like to use Chinese.

I saw Kong Hao, general manager of Tianyan US branch in front of me.

Towards the group at the door.

Kong Hao himself is a returnee and has many years of working experience in the United States. Therefore, he was directly dispatched here and promoted to be the general manager of Tianyan United States branch to take charge of the acquisition and carry out tasks in the United States at the same time.

Today is his last visit to microcrystalline technology.

The purpose is to bring Tianyan to the CEO of microcrystalline technology, and then the management and supervision work will be completed by Tianyan employees. Thinking of the identity of the new president around him, Kong Hao thought it was a relatively beautiful case of digging people.

The president of microcrystalline technology is Zhou you, a Chinese, who once served as the vice president of another well-known photovoltaic enterprise with outstanding ability. He talked to Zhou you in person for several times before successfully persuading him. Of course, there are practical reasons, otherwise Zhou you would not leave a company so easily.

Ceiling.

The inevitable problems of Chinese in American enterprises.

That is to say, when you get to a certain position, you will not be promoted. Later, the white man who is worse than you has become a leader. No one is happy. Zhou Youcai agrees to manage a company this time.

As for his resignation, the original company didn't retain him, which made his heart cool.

Kong Hao came forward and introduced several senior managers of microcrystalline technology to Zhou you one by one. To be honest, looking at these people carefully, Zhou you could only say with emotion that his buttock was the height of the decision. How could he have this treatment before.

"Let's go to the meeting room." Said Kong Hao.

"Good."

When he came to the conference room, Kong haoxuan read the appointment of the board of directors, but Tang Qing was the only one on the board of directors. From the moment when the reading was finished, Zhou you was the president of microcrystalline technology.

"President Zhou, I have finished my work, and I will give it to you next." Kong Hao said to Zhou you with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr Kong." Zhou you nodded his thanks.

"You're welcome."

Kong Hao finished and sat down. Then there was no business for him.

Zhou Youzheng, looking down with respect, started the first development conference of microcrystalline technology.

After some encouragement and review of the company's past glory.

The meeting went back to technology and the market.

Zhou you solemnly said: "now I'd like to convey the order of the board of directors that we will reach a strategic cooperation agreement with a research institution on the research and development of the new generation of solar cell technology and its components in a semi commissioned and semi cooperative way.

Of course, your original R & D costs will not change. Until a new generation of technology or product is developed, the technology department will no longer expand or increase the R & D costs. "

"Why? Our products and technologies are very advanced. Now the photovoltaic industry market is undergoing great development. I think we should invest more money in our technology department. " Before the vice president in charge spoke, the African American laboratory director began to object.

No increase in R & D costs.

People in the technology department don't do it.

Because listening to Zhou You's tone, first, I don't trust their technology. Second, I should have given money to my department, but I even gave it to other laboratories to entrust research and development. Can't I pay for it? No.

Zhou is not surprised either.

This is the expected thing, but it was decided by the boss himself. He is not qualified to contradict and question. He can only implement it. As long as there is no mistake in the general direction and Tang Qing has a decision, he must follow it.

"It's decided by the board of directors and can't be changed. If you can get enough achievements, I will apply to the above to give you more R & D funds, but if the commercial value of the product is still the same as before, I think I can't report up for money," Zhou said

The meaning is obvious.

If you can't do something, don't beep. If you have the ability, come up with real skills.

Commercial value is mainly to evaluate the cost, conversion rate and service life of solar cell components. Otherwise, even if the conversion rate is high and the cost is high, what commercial value is there.

"But with more money, our R & D progress will surely be faster." African American tone is a little weak.

In fact, it's not that he didn't strive for success, but he couldn't make any breakthrough in this industry. Just like the conversion rate, the most advanced crystalline silicon technology has only increased by about 5% in ten years, and it's becoming more and more difficult.

"I remember that the company's research funding is growing by $1 million a year, but the growth in the comprehensive evaluation of commercial value is very small, and the technology that can be achieved two years ago is still in use. How can you use this data to persuade me to persuade the director general?" Zhou continued

As for Zhou You's question, the African American director also understood that the technical progress was too slow, but he was not satisfied with the question: "can that laboratory improve the commercial value of the company's products?"

Zhou you just carried out Tang Qing's order and was not ready to go on with this issue. He said directly, "do you have this ability? You will soon know, because this laboratory will cooperate with you to some extent.

If after a period of cooperation, you feel that they can't compare with you, or their technology is not good, I will apply for your research funding. "

"Well, I understand." African Americans also know that this is the best result,

Zhou you added: "that's good. Technically, it's arranged by Kyle vice president. Now let's talk about the research direction of future products. Next, our large-scale grid connected power generation is just a general project.

Home storage, portable solar power devices will be the company's future market focus.... Three days later, I want to see your planning report and upload it to me through Tianyan's management system, understand? "

"I see."

“。。。”

So.

A conference on the future of microcrystalline technology is over.

It also represents microcrystalline technology.

Officially set sail.

。。。

After the meeting.

Zhou you and Kong Hao are sitting in the president's conference room.

The white and blue factory buildings outside are very clear in the sun. With the sky blue, the environment is really good.

They were drinking tea.

"President Kong, please take care of us in the future. We are also brothers in the trenches." Zhou you said with a smile.

Kong Hao hurriedly shook his head.

"I can't say that. We all work for the chairman. If we do our job well, the chairman won't treat us badly."

There is no one in Tianyan who wants to play gangs. This is what they do. To prevent gangs and Shantou from appearing in the enterprises under supervision, once there is a sign, they will report it up and Tang Qing will decide whether to make personnel adjustment.

As a general manager of Tianyan branch, Kong Hao dare not try his best. Otherwise, although Tang Qing won't do anything, Dou Jiao will definitely suppress this unhealthy trend. With such a big backer as Tang Qing, he didn't want to get fired for any misunderstanding.

"President Kong, have you met our chairman?" Week friendly wonder.

Kong Hao shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I haven't seen the chairman of the board. Since joining Tianyan, the chairman hasn't shown his face. I guess it's only possible to see real people at the annual meeting of Tianyan."

"That's a pity. To be honest, I really admire Tianyan, who was founded by the chairman of the board of directors, for managing the company in this way. In the future, our work overlaps in all aspects. " Zhou you said with emotion.

"That's right. Our chairman is not an ordinary person." Kong Hao said proudly.

“。。。”

They were chatting in the office.

When the following people hand over the matter, Kong Hao will return to New York.

Because Dou Jiao has authorized him to expand the number of people in Tianyan's U.S. branch to 60 to 80, he has to go back to work on it.

In addition to their own enterprise service personnel, they also have to set up two cooperation departments, which are responsible for business information collection and cooperation consultation. Because there is no separate branch, these two parts are only under their names.

Management is also the vertical management of two domestic business divisions.

PS: it's the pain of breathing...
