In order to provide Dr. Tong with appropriate remuneration without violating the financial system, Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi came up with the best of both worlds. They decided to give Dr. Tong a house, which they could choose between his city and the provincial capital.

This decision was a bit beyond Tong Wei's expectation, "Jiayi, this, this reward is really too high, I feel a little undeserved!"

"Don't be polite. Changda Group has always respected knowledge and talents. Of course, your efforts should be rewarded and you should not feel guilty." Ye Jiayi said.

"However, this reward far exceeds the value of my labor. How will I face you in the future?" Tong Wei thought further. He was afraid that accepting such an expensive gift would bring pressure to himself.

Indeed, a house of more than 100 square meters is worth close to 3 million in the provincial capital. Even in the third-tier cities where Tong Wei is located, buying a house of the same area will cost more than 1 million. Just for the Changda Group

The experimental center provided some technical guidance and accepted such a generous reward, which made Tong Wei feel uneasy.

Ye Jiayi felt that Tong Wei was thinking too much, "What's not easy to face? You don't need to feel any pressure at all. Don't worry, we won't make it difficult for you. If Changda Group wants to poach you from the New Materials Research Institute,

We will not only use other methods, but also obtain your consent. You can accept this reward with peace of mind. Apart from providing guidance to the best of our ability for the development of Changda Group's waste battery recycling and processing technology, we will not do anything extra for you.

Require."

In addition to feeling that this remuneration is too generous, Tong Wei also has a hard time choosing between the two cities. To be honest, he is very willing to live in the provincial capital here. Although this city is not as good as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen

Although it is developed, it ranks at least among the top ten among provincial capital cities in the country. It has developed transportation, a permanent population of nearly 10 million, and the city's scientific, educational and medical standards are at the top of the country. On the other hand, the third-tier city where he lives now is far behind in all aspects.

.

However, at least until he is promoted to a senior professional title, Tong Wei does not want to leave the New Materials Research Institute. This idea is difficult for the outside world to understand. Outside the system, in accordance with the latest policies of the national personnel system, professional and technical personnel from various ownership units can still

Promotion to professional titles. Perhaps due to the influence of traditional thinking, in Tong Wei's mind, he believed that professional titles promoted within the system have higher gold content. In fact, there is no such situation at all. This is just the prejudice of some people within the system, because senior professional titles

During the promotion process, the assessment standards for professional and technical personnel inside and outside the system are the same.

Since it is impossible to leave the New Materials Research Institute within three to five years, it makes no sense to choose housing in the provincial capital. Of course, if you were an ordinary person, you would choose a house in the provincial capital here, then sell it, and then return

It is not difficult to buy a house of the same size in the city where he lives now, and he can still have nearly half of the funds left. It is not difficult to maximize his own interests. Tong Wei will naturally do the calculation for such a simple account, but after all, he is

A senior technical expert, especially in front of his old classmate Ye Jiayi, still needs to be at least reserved. Tong Wei would never do that kind of thing.

After repeated weighings, Tong Wei expressed his position on the spot: "Old classmate, if you have to let me accept it, then I will choose to buy a house over there."

"Okay, when you go home next time, you can discuss with your family and choose a house of 130 to 40 square meters in a better neighborhood there. After confirming the price with the developer, give them their account number.

I, the finance department of Changda Group will pay the bill for you. Don't save us money, the location and floor of the house must be the best," Ye Jiayi warned.

"To be honest, the development of used battery recycling and processing technology has just begun. It has not achieved any results yet, so I accept such a generous reward. This makes me feel very uneasy."

"Didn't I tell you before that you shouldn't think too much? We have no other purpose.

Even if the development of waste battery recycling and processing technology is unsuccessful, Changda Group will pay you what you deserve and we will not regret it." Ye Jiayi tried to create a relaxed environment.

"According to the analysis of existing technical data at home and abroad, the recycling and processing technology of used batteries is difficult to a certain extent, but it is not unattainable. As long as given time, a breakthrough should be achieved." Tong Wei is full of confidence in technology development.

"Okay, the house matter is settled. I'll do it as soon as possible next time I go home. Haven't your parents back home wanted to live with you for a long time? Now that the house problem is solved, it's better to satisfy their wishes as soon as possible. At the experimental center,

If you need my cooperation, just ask, and I will do my best to create favorable conditions for you." Ye Jiayi said.

...

The construction of the battery industry production line is in full swing and will be put into production in another six months. Although we have negotiated the intention with Mr. Zhou, the chairman of Tiancheng Automobile Company, the supply contract has not been signed so far. "How about using your

Send an invitation to Lao Zhou in name and see what his attitude is." Ye Jiayi suggested to Guan Yuntian.

"What did you and Lao Zhou talk about on the phone last time?"

"The supporting intentions were all decided, but there was only one issue about price. At that time, Lao Zhou asked for a discount, but I didn't agree. I told him to sign the supply contract first," Ye Jiayi said.

"Why would he ask for a preferential price? Is there any reason?"

"Lao Zhou is also very calculating. I don't know where he got it. He said that Changda brand batteries were tested at Chengsheng Automobile Company. Not only did they provide many batches of samples, they also spent money to conduct actual tests at their Tiancheng Automobile Company.

, saved us a lot of money.”

"Based on this, he wants to give us a 10% discount on the price of the batteries we supply to Chengsheng Automobile Company? This old Zhou is too whimsical! Okay, I'll call him and invite him to come and talk. Isn't there Shen Yuehong with us?

The auto parts he talked about? It's best to talk about them together. Er, have the cost of the battery been calculated?" Guan Yuntian said.

"According to the calculation, if the annual output of the first phase of the project is 30,000 sets of high-capacity storage batteries, the actual cost is 10% lower than the original estimate."

"Well, the cost of reaching economies of scale is just different."

Guan Yuntian grabbed the phone on the table and called it. The call was connected, "Hello, Mr. Zhou of Tiancheng Automobile Company? Hello, Mr. Zhou! I am Guan Yuntian of Changda Group."

"Mr. Guan? Hello! I'm Lao Zhou. What can I do for you?"

"It's been two or three months since we last met, right? How have you been during this time?"

"Hey, we are all in the business. We should understand each other. What is good? We are busy all day long and have no free time at all." Lao Zhou looked very helpless.

"Yes, administrative staff in government departments have holidays and weekends off. As long as we open our eyes, we will never have a moment of leisure. Mr. Zhou, if there are no other arrangements, I would like to invite you to come to Changda Group for a get-together in the near future.

Relaxation, what do you think?"

"First of all, thank you for the invitation, Mr. Guan! Also, recently... I'll see if there are any other arrangements." Lao Zhou seemed to be looking through something and paused for twenty or thirty seconds. "I have no plans to go out recently. I want to see if I have any other arrangements."

No----? Well, I will take some time to visit you in the near future."

"When you fly to the provincial capital, you inform me in advance and I will send a car to pick you up at the airport."

Three days later, at around 12 noon, Guan Yuntian was waiting in the welcome hall of Changda Building. Ten minutes ago, he called the driver who was picking up the plane from the airport and knew that they were about to arrive.

At this time, the black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle drove into the square in front of Changda Building. The driver made a small circle and parked the car at the entrance of the reception hall of Changda Building. The door opened

Three people got out of the car. The middle-aged man at the head was Lao Zhou, the chairman of Tiancheng Automobile Company. The two people following him were unknown to Guan Yuntian.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou! Welcome to Changda Group!" Guan Yuntian took a few steps forward and took the initiative to shake hands with Lao Zhou.

"Hello, Mr. Guan! Let me introduce you," Old Zhou turned around and looked, "This is Mr. Xiang, who is in charge of production at Tiancheng Company, and this is Mr. Fei, the manager of our purchasing department."

Guan Yuntian shook hands with the two vice presidents one by one, "Welcome Mr. Xiang! Welcome Mr. Fei!"

After leading the three guests into his office, the guests put down their simple luggage and exchanged some pleasantries, Guan Yuntian said: "It's getting late, Mr. Zhou, why don't you have lunch first?"

"Okay, let's talk after lunch."

"We will have a working meal in our agency canteen at noon, and then we will meet the three of us in the evening."

"Mr. Guan, you don't have to be polite."

After having lunch with the guests, Guan Yuntian discussed with Lao Zhou, "Mr. Zhou, you caught a flight early in the morning and took a two-hour bus ride from the airport to us. You are inevitably sleepy. Why don't you go back to the hotel to rest in the afternoon?

Let’s meet in the evening and go around our company tomorrow?”

Lao Zhou is already a middle-aged man in his fifties. He has really felt a little tired from morning to now. "Okay, let's take a rest in the afternoon and let's talk about work tomorrow."

Lao Zhou was taken to the booked hotel by the driver. Mr. Fee from the purchasing department went to the front desk to ask for a room. "I have reserved a room for you. Here is the key card." The driver took out three magnetic cards from his bag and handed them over.

At six o'clock in the evening, the driver of the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle knocked on the door of the three guests' rooms and said, "The boss asked me to pick you up and take you to the hotel. I will wait for you downstairs."

More than ten minutes later, the driver took the three guests out of the hotel. The county town is not big. After a while, they arrived at the hotel. The guests followed the waiter to the reserved private room, where the host was already waiting.

Except for Guan Yuntian and Lao Zhou, it was the first time for the other guests and hosts to meet each other. Before taking their seats, Guan Yuntian spoke first, "Let me introduce, this is Mr. Zhou, the chairman of Tiancheng Automobile Company. We have met him last time.

This is Mr. Xiang, who is in charge of production at Tiancheng Company, and that is Mr. Fei, the manager of Tiancheng Company’s purchasing department.”

On the host's side, Guan Yuntian introduced Ye Jiayi and Shen Yuehong to the guests. The host and guest shook hands, exchanged greetings, and then arranged seats. Because the guests were not familiar with local customs, Guan Yuntian skipped the process of asking them to order.

Ye Jiayi and Shen Yuehong quickly ordered the dishes and drinks. At the wine party that night, Guan Yuntian followed local customs and used his skills in persuading people to drink. He took the lead in setting an example, so that the three guests could only parry but not fight back.

In the morning of the next day, Ye Jiayi and Shen Yuehong took the guests to visit agricultural projects in the northern mountainous area. In the afternoon, they visited Changda Auto Parts Company and took a tour of the battery production line under construction.

From the two deputies brought by Lao Zhou, we can see the purpose of his trip, which is basically the same as Guan Yuntian's idea. Therefore, in the business meeting on the third day, Guan Yuntian asked Ye Jiayi and Shen Yuehong to participate together.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the guests and hosts sat down face to face in the small conference room. Guan Yuntian spoke first, "Mr. Zhou, may I ask how far the electric vehicle project of Tiancheng Automobile Company is progressing now?"

"According to Mr. Ye's last suggestion, we have divided the production capacity of 20,000 vehicles into two phases. The design of the production line for the first phase has been completed and the factory is currently being built."

"Has the final supplier of various accessories been determined?" Guan Yuntian asked knowingly.

"It's basically decided. The power system will use your Changda brand battery. Didn't you tell Mr. Ye last time?"
Chapter completed!
