LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 107: Self-Built Research Laboratory
"Ten million?"
Li Yu looked at Hua Xue with interest and said with a smile.
"To be safe, it would cost at least hundreds of millions. Of course, even if you invest one to two hundred million, it will be difficult to break through.
After all, lithium battery technology has now entered a bottleneck period. With all this money, it is better to directly purchase patented and produced lithium batteries with mature technology!"
Hua Xue couldn't bear to let the other party invest money into this industry that was obviously suffering huge losses, so she started to persuade him.
After a period of research, Li Yu actually knows a lot about the lithium battery industry, and naturally knows that what Hua Xue said is the norm.
As far as the current situation is concerned, unless it is cheating, investing money in research is really equivalent to throwing money into the ocean.
Originally Li Yu was not very satisfied with Hua Xue, but what she just said directly changed Li Yu's impression.
Li Yu stood up and came to the window, pointing at the Wanyue City Shopping Center and the big hotel next to it and smiled:
"Miss Hua, do you know which company owns our building, the Wanyue City below, and the hotel next to it?"
Although Hua Xue didn't understand why Li Yu suddenly changed the topic, she still responded with a confused look on her face: "I don't know 25!"
Li Yu turned back to his seat and sat down and said directly: "These things are all owned by a company called Tiansheng Zhiwu. You should understand what I am saying, right?"
"Tiansheng Zhiwu! Tiansheng Energy?"
Hua Xue immediately noticed the key points in her mind, and then looked at Li Yu in shock.
"Although I dare not say that I am rich at the moment." Li Yu said with a smile: "But I can still afford to lose one billion or eighty million!"
With Li Yu looking like a nouveau riche, Hua Xue knew that what she had just done was really funny.
"So the issue of funding is not your turn to consider. What you need to tell me now is that you have left this industry for more than a year.
So how long can you keep your connections in the industry? For example, now I need you to find a suitable head of a research laboratory, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Li Yu crossed his palms and asked if Huaxue could help at the moment.
Although my impression of her is not bad, the energy industry will be Li Yu's source of cash in the future.
It is very important for his next plan. If the other party really does not have the ability, he will not be able to plot against the other party.
When she heard about the inquiry about her connections, Hua Xue suddenly became energetic and said directly:
"Dr. Zhang Shouheng, he has been conducting lithium battery research abroad for more than 20 years and is a senior researcher of the original company.
The contract expired in the second half of last year. I don't know why, but he did not choose to sign but chose to return to China for development.
As far as I know, he currently has no restrictions and has not worked for any other company.
If Mr. Li is determined to conduct his own research, then Dr. Zhang should be the most suitable candidate at present.
I didn't expect that the other party had resigned for a year, and now he was so aware of the changes in high-end personnel in the industry.
Li Yu continued to ask: "What about the laboratory? Are there any ready-made laboratories that can be purchased?"
When Li Yu asked about the laboratory, Hua Xue could not answer immediately this time. She thought for nearly ten minutes before shaking her head and saying slowly:
“Currently, due to technical reasons, many people in China are conducting research on lithium batteries, but most of them are mainly trying to obtain funds through fraud.
As for the ones that really do research, there should be very few, and even if these laboratories that do research really want to sell, it will be very troublesome. "
Li Yu understood the meaning of Hua Xue's words and asked directly:
"Don't you think it's appropriate to acquire the laboratory?"
"Not bad!" Hua Xue nodded directly and expressed her opinion: "Mr. Li, as far as the current domestic research community is concerned.
It's not that I'm not optimistic, but that everyone is messing with it, except for a few companies that will seriously study some corner technologies for profit.
Ninety-nine percent of the remaining research laboratories are fraudulently funded.
Throughout this year, I don’t know how many uninformed laymen were deceived by the sweet talk of those in charge of the laboratories and lost all their investments. In the end, they lost everything.
Although he knew that the domestic atmosphere was not good, Li Yu did not expect that it had reached such an extent.
Of course, he now has detailed information on subsequent generations of EMI products and has a clear research direction.
The purpose of setting up a laboratory is just to let everyone find out the source, so naturally they won't be afraid of being deceived.
"Then I can only set up a research laboratory on my own? According to you, is Zhang Shouheng capable of serving as the director of this laboratory?"
Now that he had decided on the next work, Li Yu asked Hua Xuedao directly without delay.
"More than enough! If Dr. Zhang doesn't have the ability, I don't think there is anyone in the country who is more capable than him. Of course, I mean research ability.
In terms of business ability, Dr. Zhang is naturally not as good as most domestic laboratory directors. "
Although Li Yu has made a decision, he will not believe Hua Xue easily.
Then he just said that Hua Xue should go back first and he needed to think about it today.
Although Li Yu did not decide to hire him on the spot, Hua Xue still had good expectations.
After all, she believed that even if Li Yu continued to interview others, he would rarely be able to find anyone with stronger business capabilities than herself.
So she was very calm when she left.
After Hua Xue left, Li Yu immediately began to investigate Zhang Shouheng.
It's a pity that this person is really unknown in China, and the information found through searching is not very useful.
After subsequent international inquiries, Li Yu did find some information about the other party. The situation was indeed as Hua Xue said, and he was a senior research doctor.
He is very famous in the foreign lithium battery industry, and he has published many lithium battery technologies in the paper field.
However, after searching, I could not find the other party's current situation, nor could I find out whether the other party had resigned from a foreign research laboratory and returned to China as Hua Xue said.
In the end, Li Yu had no choice but to call the headhunting company and ask the other party to help investigate whether the other party had returned to China.
Tiansheng is currently a major customer of the other party. Even if this order was made, Li Yu only asked the other party to help investigate Zhang Shouheng's current situation [the headhunting company did not neglect to investigate.
Nanjin City Su Ning Headquarters welcomed a special person today.
Although Zhang Jindong felt that his plan with Chen Jiang would definitely catch a big fish, he never expected that he would actually catch Liu Quanzhi, the president of Wal-Mart Greater China.
In the reception area of the president's office, Chen Jiang personally brought a cup of coffee to Liu Quanzhi, which was a treatment that even Yang Manli did not receive.
"Thank you!" Liu Quanzhi took the coffee and smiled slowly.
Chen Jiang was flattered and said quickly: "Mr. Liu, you're welcome!"
Zhang Jindong looked at Liu Quanzhi and replied with a smile: "President Liu, I wonder why you came to see me today?"
Liu Quanzhi didn't believe that Zhang Jindong didn't know the purpose of his coming. After all, the headquarters had already explained the reason when he contacted him.
"President Zhang, we are all sensible people, so there is no need to say such nonsense!" Liu Quanzhi leaned against the sofa with his legs crossed and stared at Zhang Jindong with a smile on his face and said rudely. .
