Chapter 544 Difficult Persuasion
Because he was faced with the choice of life path again, Tong Wei's caution was completely understandable. Although Ye Jiayi had painted a very clear future and dispelled many of his concerns, even if his old classmates assured him, Tong Wei still could not immediately
Make a decision.
Faced with Tong Wei's hesitation, Ye Jiayi had no choice but to say: "I understand this. As you said, this is a big matter for an individual. It is essential to discuss it with family and work. But what do you think about these two things?"
Are there any difficulties?"
"There shouldn't be any problems with the family. I can make the decision. I just need to explain it clearly to my family members. It's hard to tell if my employer can let me go. I'm not completely sure."
Ye Jiayi immediately became alert, "If the unit just doesn't agree, is there no hope for this matter?"
"Well----, if the unit doesn't agree, I really haven't thought about what to do."
Ye Jiayi immediately changed her mind and said, "Tong Wei, if the company doesn't let you go and you submit your resignation report, how much loss do you think it will cause you? Or how much harm will it cause to you?"
"You mean to resign from the company and leave the company forcibly?" Tong Wei was startled. He had never thought about such an extreme behavior. "I can't talk about the harm, but the loss. I'm afraid the insurance and money I paid before are gone.
, the old house assigned to me by my employer may also have to be taken back, and the length of service and other information may be invalidated."
"Think carefully, apart from these, are there any other losses? For example, will the senior professional title you just promoted last year be invalidated for you?"
"That's basically all the impact. A high professional title is a criterion for judging my scientific research level. I have the certificate in my hand. I guess they can't do anything about it."
"If this is the case, then there is nothing to be afraid of. Talk to the relevant leaders about your ideas and communicate with them calmly. If they understand your measures, that would be the best. If you really can't communicate, if you take
If you change jobs by voluntarily resigning, Changda Group will give you double compensation for any losses caused to you. In fact, I have never understood why you care about being promoted to a senior professional title at the New Materials Research Institute? For experts like you, the local government is very
Pay attention, you will still be promoted to a high position in the company, and there will not be any seniority or intrigue like your unit." Ye Jiayi said.
"Perhaps it's our traditional bias. People like us have always had a concept in our minds. We always think that being promoted to a professional title in a research institution or academic unit is more serious and serious. In addition, the competition is relatively fierce, so we think that the professional title in this kind of unit is more valuable.
Gao. I declare that this may be a prejudice." Tong Wei explained.
"I also think it's bias. I don't believe that those graduates who graduated at the same time as you and went to companies to do R&D work are much worse than you people in research units and academic institutions in terms of scientific research capabilities. I know the R&D capabilities of those foreign multinational companies.
Departments have gathered many senior talents, and they have strong R&D capabilities. In fact, there are several multinational companies, and there are even several Nobel Prize winners. Do you think their level can be inferior?" Ye Jiayi said.
She once worked as a department executive at Dow Chemical Company, and she knows this situation very well.
"You are a person who has seen the world, and what you say makes sense. But if there is any difference between the two, I think people in research and academic institutions are more focused on theory, while corporate R&D personnel may be more focused on practical applications."
"Okay, let's not discuss which one is better. Before you make the final decision, I suggest you take the time to come to Changda Group for an on-site inspection and have some communication with Mr. Guan in person. It may be helpful for you to make a decision.
"
...
Tong Wei accepted Ye Jiayi's suggestion and decided to go to Changda Group to have in-depth contact with Guan Yuntian. At the same time, he conducted a comprehensive inspection of the software and hardware conditions of Changda Group's technology center. On Friday, he planned to
After booking a flight for two o'clock in the afternoon that day, he asked for leave and left the unit early, and asked Ye Jiayi to send a car to pick him up at the provincial capital airport.
Ye Jiayi took her driver to the airport to greet him in person. When she took Tong Wei to the Changda Group headquarters, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. Knowing that he was coming, Guan Yuntian had been waiting in the office.
After greeting each other, Tong Wei asked: "Mr. Guan, haven't you gotten off work yet?"
"I'm waiting for you, let's go, let's go have a meal and pick up Dr. Tong."
"Ouch! I'm so sorry that it's so late and delaying your get off work." Tong Wei said politely.
"Dr. Tong worked tirelessly and traveled a lot. We should be the ones who are embarrassed. Please come." The three of them got into the same car.
Because it was getting late that night, there were no substantive issues discussed during dinner.
At around eight o'clock the next morning, the driver took Tong Wei from the hotel to Guan Yuntian's office. They had a heart-to-heart conversation. Guan Yuntian opened his heart and talked about not only his business management philosophy, but also the development trajectory of Changda Group.
, the short, medium and long-term goals of enterprise development, the structure and nature of the enterprise, the views on the promotion of enterprise development by science and technology, and one's own outlook on life and world view.
Tong Wei listened quietly. He felt that although Guan Yuntian only had a bachelor's degree, his overall quality was indeed very high. This was the first time he heard some of his views.
Through a morning of interactions, Tong Wei had a very positive impression of Guan Yuntian. The negative comments he heard from private enterprise owners before were not found in Guan Yuntian at all. On the contrary, regardless of management philosophy, corporate development goals and the relationship between
His views on how science and technology promote industrial development, as well as his views on life, are much higher than those of ordinary people.
On Saturday afternoon, Ye Jiayi accompanied Tong Wei to the Changda Group Technology Center. After visiting the existing test facilities and instruments, Ye Jiayi asked: "Compared with the New Materials Research Institute, do you think we have more hardware here?"
What are the differences?”
"The Institute of New Materials has been established for several decades. The facilities and equipment there were not put in place in one step. It took decades of gradual accumulation to reach the current level. You don't need to compare with that.
, there is no need to compare with it, it is enough for now, and it will not be too late to make supplements in the future according to the needs of research and development work."
"In your opinion, is our current equipment adequate?"
"The main equipment and instruments are basically sufficient. Even if they are not enough, they are only for auxiliary purposes. When the time comes, it will be enough to buy them now."
Using the rest of the afternoon, accompanied by Ye Jiayi, Tong Wei also visited Changda Pharmaceutical Company and Auto Parts Company, and inspected the new energy vehicle power battery production base that he personally designed and built.
On Sunday morning, Tong Wei took a flight back. During the more than an hour's flight, he reorganized his thoughts based on what he saw and heard during the trip. Just as Ye Jiayi said when giving him advice, this field trip was indeed
It was helpful for him to make a decision. He decided to talk to his family about the matter first after he returned. After getting the understanding and support of his family, he finally had a showdown with the leaders of the unit.
Tong Wei's wife is a local and works in finance at a local company. Before discussing this matter with his wife, he was a little uneasy. After all, it is hard to leave his hometown. He is already middle-aged, and his wife's relatives are all around. Who else is there?
Are you willing to live in a different place?
Two days later, when Tong Wei told his wife about the idea of changing jobs, her wife's reaction was very shocked, "Jumping jobs? Hey, when did our Dr. Tong become bolder? The National New Materials Research Institute can't accommodate you?"
"Don't be sarcastic when you speak. Who am I? There are many talented people in the New Materials Research Institute, including me. How can I be so pretentious?" Tong Wei was dissatisfied with his wife's sarcastic way of speaking.
"How long have you had this idea? Isn't it just a whim?"
"I am conservative by nature and will not do anything on a whim." Tong Wei said frankly.
"That means you have had such an idea for a long time. Why didn't you show it before? Was it encouraged by someone?"
"Don't make random guesses. It is true that I have had such an idea before, but the time was not ripe. I'm afraid that letting you know would be detrimental to things."
"Can you tell me what made you want to change jobs? The unit you work for now is a national scientific research institution. My colleagues, classmates and friends are all envious of it, but you suddenly asked to leave. To be honest, this
I can't understand it."
Tong Wei briefly talked about his work at the New Materials Research Institute, his contact with Changda Group, the corporate nature and strength of Changda Group, and the various conditions and benefits provided to him by Changda Group. Of course,
Ye Jiayi's role in this matter was not mentioned at all, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion in his wife, because he and Ye Jiayi were purely high school classmates, and there was really no personal relationship between them except work.
"So, you have not been happy at your workplace these years, but who can guarantee that you will be satisfied if you switch to this Changda Group?"
"No one can guarantee it, but because of project cooperation between units, I have worked there for two years and am very familiar with the situation of Changda Group and their leadership. Based on what I learned, I think it is appropriate to work there.
It’s more satisfying.”
"Your current unit is a national research institution, and Changda Group is just a private enterprise. Are the conditions there suitable for you to do scientific research? You have to consider these carefully." Tong Wei's wife has a college education and is very interested in his work.
I also know a little bit about its properties.
"Are you referring to the hardware conditions? As long as there are sufficient funds, any kind of scientific research equipment and instruments can be purchased, not to mention the existing foundation of the Changda Group Technology Center is good; in terms of software, it all depends on me."
From the perspective of whether it was beneficial to Tong Wei or not, his wife could no longer find a reason to stop him, and the conversation fell into silence for a while. After a while, she continued: "You only think about yourself, have you considered me and my family?"
"I'm discussing this with you now just for the sake of you and your family."
"But according to you, the Changda Group is located in the county seat. Ours is also a prefecture-level city after all. They say that people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. If you go to work there, your whole family will have to go to the county seat to live. I
Those relatives and friends must not laugh at us behind our backs!"
"Perhaps people have already considered this. To tell you the truth, if I go to work for Changda Group, they will provide us with 150 to 200 square meters of housing in the provincial capital."
"In the provincial capital...? You mean we don't want to live in the county town? How much does a house of 150 to 200 square meters cost in the provincial capital?"
Tong Wei shook his head, "I don't know. I guess the houses in their provincial capital must be much more expensive than here."
As a financial worker, Tong Wei's wife is of course sensitive to this aspect. "Just now you said that this house was provided by the other party's employer. Who owns the house? Do you want us to pay for it?"
"I don't have to pay a penny. The funds to purchase the house are completely borne by Changda Group. As long as I work there, the ownership of the house will belong to us." Tong Wei explained.
"In order to poach you, Changda Group is really generous. This house alone costs at least two to three million. With your current salary, you may not be able to afford such a house even if you live without food or water for twenty years."
