rebirth of cataclysm

The next day, Hu Mingchen did not rush back, but went to Hongqiao High-tech Zone to inspect Ascendas Motor Company.

"President Jin, the project is progressing quite quickly." Standing on the flat land outside the R&D center, Hu Mingchen said to Jin Baiye, the president of Tengfei Company.

"Mr. Hu, in two or three months, the interior decoration should be ready. Our engineering research and development center is the largest among our peers in China." Jin Baiye said.

"We are rising stars. Of course we have to be better than those in front of us. If we are worse than others, we will lose before we even start." Hu Mingchen said.

The entire Ascendas Automobile R&D center consists of four buildings, with an area of ​​more than three million square meters inside and outside. Among them, there are electronic system R&D department, power system R&D department, parts R&D department, body and chassis design department, and energy department.

Materials R&D department, vehicle testing and evaluation department (including a crash test site), control system R&D department, and advanced technology and safety technology R&D department (mainly focused on new energy and autonomous driving fields).

"That's true. The hardware investment in the entire R&D center exceeds one billion U.S. dollars. There are not many domestic automobile companies. I am worried about people now. When these systems are operational, Mr. Hu, the annual R&D expenses will be very high.

Huge number." Jin Baiye said.

"Mr. Jin, how much does Volkswagen invest in research and development every year?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"According to their announcement, this year it will exceed 70 billion yuan, or more than 10 billion US dollars." Jin Baiye said.

"So much?" When he heard this figure, Hu Mingchen was also shocked. He also thought that one or two billion yuan is a big deal.

"This is normal. They are a global company. They have dozens of R&D centers around the world and more than ten subsidiaries that can produce complete vehicles. What's more, they have multiple brands. Compared to the nearly two thousand in the world

For a sales amount of 100 million US dollars, this R&D investment is symmetrical." Jin Baiye said.

"That's right. We can't compare with them for the time being, because they have products for sale and a lot of profits to support them every year. But in the short term, we can only invest and have no profits at all." Hu Mingchen nodded.

"Yes, this is our biggest problem at the moment, and it is also our most difficult stage. We must launch one or two cars into the market as soon as possible."

"This is your job. However, don't be too anxious. You have to do solid research and development and production before you can eat hot tofu. Otherwise, just assembling a car and putting it on the market may just destroy the brand. As for

In terms of research and development, you don't have to worry about investment, just let go. If you are short of funds, tell me and I will solve it." Hu Mingchen's brain has not yet become overheated and he is still awake.

"There is no shortage of funds at the moment. It should be said that until the year after next, the company should not be short of funds. There are currently 30 billion bonuses on the books, which is enough for us to continue construction and expenditures." Jin Baiye said.

"Well, that's good. If it doesn't work in the year after next, we can introduce capital injection. I heard that you are busy building the company and recruiting personnel at the same time. How is the effect?"

"We sent out recruitment invitations through several major recruitment platforms, but the response was not very satisfactory. Many people backed down as soon as they heard that the job location was in Liangcheng. So far, the R&D department has only finalized two hundred offers.

, In the next few days, there will be several major job fairs in several cities, and our company has already signed up, and I plan to go to the on-site recruitment in person."

"Mr. Jin, you are the president of the company. If you are recruiting, it is better to leave it to the human resources department. You have to coordinate the overall situation. Of course, if you are recruiting for senior positions such as department manager or above, then of course you need to come forward.

You should set up the above structure first, and then let each of them take over the work of the own department. If you do it yourself, even if you have three heads and six arms, it won't work."

This is the first time that Jin Baiye has independently taken charge of such a large company, so he feels that he is still a little bit incompetent in management.

In the past, no matter how important or high his position was, there would always be leaders above him, and he would do things according to the arrangements from above. But now, if Hu Mingchen doesn't say anything, he will give orders and make plans for everything.

Jin Baiye was a little anxious because he had not recruited enough people. But Hu Mingchen felt that that was not the most important thing. His top priority was to build up the entire team.

"I'm going there in person because I want to see if there are any talents suitable for such a high-level position as vice president."

"Such high-level talents will not submit resumes in the talent market. Let's do this. I'll ask Wu Huaisi to call you later. You communicate with him and ask him to help you find a headhunting company, and ask the headhunting company to help you poach people. As for

Some people don’t want to come to work in mainland cities, and that’s okay. It’s okay not to want those people. What we are looking for now are the kind of people who dare to work hard. These people will be our backbone. Those who just want to live in comfort.

Those who work in such an environment will be just ordinary employees from now on."

"That's right. Or if you can see it more clearly and thoroughly, let's go to the construction site of the assembly line production workshop to have a look?" Jin Baiye suggested and asked after nodding.

"Let's go and have a look."

The production workshop of Tengfei Automobile Company is larger, and it feels like you can't see the end at a glance, so you have to drive.

Of course, the entire Ascendas Motor Co., Ltd. is extremely large. If you don’t drive in the company, you can’t even see it.

"This is the final assembly workshop. We have already reserved a batch of robots. By then, most of the final assembly tasks will be completed by robots." Sitting on the battery car, Jin Baiye introduced to Hu Mingchen.

"Well, automated production is the general direction in the future. It can make up for our lack of skilled technicians and at the same time ensure the uniformity of quality."

"Yes, it is also very difficult to find skilled automobile industry workers here. Fortunately, we have entrusted two vocational colleges to help us with training and have also signed training contracts. By then, their young graduates

, you will directly come to work in our company after completing your studies.”

"Well, this is indeed a good way. Are those buildings in the distance also our company's territory?" Hu Mingchen said, pointing to several factory buildings under construction a few kilometers away.

"No, that's a supporting company introduced by the city to help us provide steel basins and glass. Their boss has visited the company several times. Although no substantive contract has been signed yet, I have already agreed. As long as

If their quality meets our requirements and the price is not more expensive than outside, our company will give priority to their products," Jin Baiye explained.

"Well, if you can meet these two conditions, of course you have to choose the nearest one and find a supplier that is too far away. First, it is difficult to accurately guarantee the supply and it is a waste of time. Moreover, if there is freight, the price will not be much lower.

go."

The city is focusing on Tengfei Automobile Co., Ltd. to attract investment. Hu Mingchen knows this. It is Song Qiaoshan who is specifically responsible for it. Of course, Hu Mingchen will give strong support to this.

This is a win-win situation, and Ascendas Motors has no reason to refuse.

"This is a simple canteen. Fortunately, this canteen was built. Otherwise, it would be too problematic for the staff to eat. It is messy. Those vendors who come to sell food in their cars cannot guarantee hygiene and food safety at all."

Jin Baiye said as he passed a row of simple wooden houses.

"Stop, stop, canteen...I have to go and have a look." Hu Mingchen quickly greeted the driver.

The reason why Hu Mingchen wanted to go and take a look was because he suggested that Hu Mingyi and Long Cui'e start this canteen, and he had to go and see how it was going.

As soon as Hu Mingchen and Jin Baiye got out of the car, they saw Hu Dehua coming out of the cafeteria chewing on a piece of boiled corn.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Hu Dehua looked up and saw Hu Min Chenggong and Jin Baiye.

"Uncle, why are you here? Hello, Mr. Jin, hello, Mr. Jin."

"I came over here to take a look at my eldest brother and sister-in-law. Why, aren't you going to work today?" Hu Mingchen raised his hand and waved.

Jin Baiye nodded towards Hu Dehua as a greeting.

Hu Dehua's family is now working on the construction site of Tengfei Company, and they are all under Jin Baiye's supervision. However, they all came in after being greeted by Hu Mingchen. As long as their work is decent, Jin Baiye will not make things difficult for them.

"Oh, my father and mother are both inside. Let's go, I'll go with you." Hu Dehua may want to leave, but now, he probably won't leave.

Hu Mingchen once introduced Hu Dehua to Sun Haoyang, but he didn't persist for long. He just learned something and ran back. He would rather dig the excavator near home. Later, Hu Mingchen helped him and

Became a small foreman.

Since it was not meal time at this time, the canteen was empty, except for the busy staff, there was not a single diner.

This canteen is long in shape, with the kitchen in the middle and plastic tables on both sides, which can accommodate thousands of people dining at the same time.

Most of the people who work on the construction site of Ascendas Motor Company will eat in this canteen.

The prices are not expensive, the dishes are plentiful, and it looks much more hygienic than the stalls, so it is naturally popular. Even company executives like Jin Baiye often solve their stomach problems here.

"Mom, Mom, Dad, who do you think is here? Uncle and Mr. Jin are here to see you." Before they even got closer, Hu Dehua shouted at the top of his lungs.

Long Cui'e and Hu Mingyi, wearing white uniforms, were washing things behind the glass window.

"Xiaochen is here, come out immediately, President Jin." Hearing the voice, Long Cui'e raised her head and saw Hu Mingchen and Jin Baiye, and quickly put down the basin, wiped her hands and walked out.

"Sister-in-law, I see that you and eldest brother are very motivated. I just came to the company and stopped by to see you. It didn't affect your work, right?" Hu Mingchen and Jin Baiye sat down on the chairs near the window.

"It doesn't affect it. What does it affect? ​​It will take more than an hour before people come to eat. It's okay now." Hu Mingyi also came out and said.
