Chapter 351: Restructuring of the Research Institute
When the car arrived downstairs at the club, Cheng Yu saw a person walking in the parking lot. Through the car lights, Cheng Yu saw Xue Changyun among them.
After lowering the window, Cheng Yu slowly drove over and waved to Xue Changyun.
"Mr. Xue."
When Xue Changyun saw that the person in the car was Cheng Yu, he immediately waved to him, and then said: "Mr. Cheng, stop the car quickly. We will wait for you for a while."
Cheng Yu nodded politely to the two men in their forties who were traveling with him, and then drove the car to the parking space inside.
In the rearview mirror, Cheng Yu saw Xue Changyun pointing at his car and talking to the two men.
If nothing else, Xue Changyun should be introducing Cheng Yu's identity to those two people, and one of those two people should be the director of the research institute that Xue Changyun mentioned.
After parking the car, Cheng Yu walked over quickly.
Xue Changyun smiled and said: "Mr. Cheng, let me introduce you. This is Director Chen Jiang and Chen, and this is Engineer Wu Jingwu."
Cheng Yu stretched out his hand, smiled and shook hands with the two of them one by one: "Hello, Director Chen, hello Gong Wu."
Wu Jing looked a little reserved, but nodded to Cheng Yu and said nothing.
Director Chen said with a cheerful face: "Master Cheng, I heard Mr. Xue introduce you that your father is Cheng Guangnian of the Cheng Group?"
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Cheng Guangnian is my father."
"Just now Mr. Xue said that you are very interested in the new materials developed by our research institute. So, the Cheng Group wants to cooperate with Mr. Xue to undertake the subway car project of the Xixi subway project?"
Cheng Yu actually didn't know anything, but Chen Jiang obviously had a misunderstanding, so he said: "That's not true. I am only interested in this project at the moment, and I haven't mentioned it to my father yet."
Chen Jiang was obviously taken aback. He originally thought that this meant that the Cheng Group would also participate in this project. After hearing about it during the meal, he showed extremely strong interest.
Although all scientific research results are sold, selling to companies in other provinces, as a state-owned research institute, still has certain drawbacks. This may be blocked by government departments.
But if it is sold to local companies, especially leading local companies, it will be much easier to handle, even if the acquisition is jointly carried out by local companies and foreign companies.
Xue Changyun quickly explained: "Maybe I didn't make it clear to Director Chen before. Mr. Cheng does not work in the Cheng Group. He has opened an investment company himself. But this matter is only temporary.
It has nothing to do with the Cheng Group. After entering deeper negotiations, there will definitely be some degree of intervention. How about we go up and talk, it’s getting colder and colder today..."
Chen Jiang nodded and said, "Okay, then we will follow Mr. Xue's arrangements."
Cheng Yu actually wanted to explain, because this matter almost never had anything to do with the Cheng Group from beginning to end. At least Cheng Yu would never allow Cheng Guangnian to get involved in this matter.
But since Xue Changyun helped avoid this topic, he didn't want to say more.
After going upstairs, a private room was arranged. Since Jian Xinyue had already left, Xue Changyun made temporary adjustments and asked the deputy manager of the club to temporarily take over Jian Xinyue's work.
The deputy manager was younger and also a girl, but with an aura of prostitution. Cheng Yu estimated that this girl had started working as a bartender, unlike Jian Xinyue who had always insisted on not working as a bartender.
The wine was quickly served, and when he saw a lot of girls standing in the box, Chen Jiang looked at the girls with a smile. He seemed to think that they were all young and beautiful girls, and he didn't know which one to choose for a while.
Which one is better.
Wu Jing, on the other hand, looked even more embarrassed. He kept looking at his legs and almost didn't dare to look at these girls.
Seeing this situation, Xue Changyun understood the situation, leaned over and whispered to Chen Jiang: "Director Chen, whoever you like can stay. If it's hard to decide, you can stay all. Anyway, our private room is big enough, girls
They sit side by side, and it looks pleasing to the eye."
Chen Jiang said somewhat hypocritically: "Isn't this bad? Will it affect your work of entertaining his guests?"
Xue Changyun had completely understood Chen Jiang's psychology and said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with it, the people below will always find a way to solve it."
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders?" Chen Jiang said hypocritically.
Xue Changyun waved his hand and said to the deputy manager: "Keep them all. Sit next to Mr. Wu. You will have to help me drink two more drinks with Mr. Wu later."
The deputy manager also understood it. One look at Wu Jing and Wu Gong had never been to such an occasion, and he was dressed conservatively and could tell that he was quite conservative. If he didn't get into trouble, he would feel that it was offensive.
After the girls sat down, Wu Jing still looked at a loss, but Chen Jiang had quickly adapted to the rhythm. He hugged the two girls with his left hand and the right hand, and even the girls drank directly into his mouth.
side.
When Cheng Yu saw this, he signaled to Xue Changyun. Xue Changyun stood up and walked with Cheng Yu to the floor-to-ceiling window at the deepest part of the box.
"Mr. Cheng, I haven't introduced it to you before. Their research institute is mainly responsible for researching new fireproof materials and aerodynamics. It was originally a military industrial unit. Later, when it was restructured, it was separated from the factory and established
a separate institute.
But it was still a state-owned system at that time.
A few years ago, it went through another round of restructuring, with some private capital participating, and now it is a state-owned joint-stock research institute.
The reason is that the country's R&D funding is becoming increasingly insufficient. The income of new R&D personnel in the institute is not high to begin with. Coupled with practical problems such as housing, some of them are lost.
Therefore, the higher authorities decided to sell some of the results and patents first. This is also another round of restructuring.
Director Chen and I have known each other for two years, and we have talked a lot about the research institute. Basically, according to his judgment, the research institute has already had an attitude of letting private capital take over. Basically, it is to take over the research institute.
The original military-related parts will be gradually divested, or we can wait for the time limit for military-civilian conversion to arrive, and then the institute can be completely handed over to private capital.
This process will not take more than five years at most.
Originally, I just wanted to purchase a new type of material from them to use in the manufacturing of subway cars. But because the situation has changed a bit, and I have seen some of the technology they have, the value of this research institute is still there.
Not small.
My current idea is to first acquire enough controlling shares of this research institute, and then gradually transform the technology it masters into production needs."
Cheng Yu nodded, finally understanding the situation inside.
"I see that Mr. Wu seems to be the leader of the project. If the company is restructured and allowed to be controlled by private capital, what will happen to these R&D talents?"
"The current ideas above basically tend to let them make their own choices. After two rounds of restructuring, the research and development of military materials has almost no proportion. And there is still a few years of conversion time. This time is also due to
Those military projects have also reached the time limit for military-to-civilian conversion. Therefore, as long as our remuneration is reasonable, I think there is no reason for these R&D personnel not to stay."
Cheng Yu nodded again and said, "Okay, I understand. How are things at home?"
"It has been handed over to the police, but it will definitely be handled in a low-key manner. After all, it has been two years since this incident, and it is not suitable for our family to experience public opinion again. Anyway, they confessed after entering the police station. Over there, the branch
The person told me that basically the next step is to apply for approval for arrest and submit it to the procuratorate for public prosecution. Of course, our family can also ask for some civil compensation. But Mr. Cheng, you know better than me about the situation of this family, compensation and so on.
It’s just a joke. My father’s attitude is also very clear. As long as we handle it strictly, the rest will be fine.”
"Where's Jian Xinyue?"
"Although she took the initiative to confess to me after you told me the whole thing, after all, she didn't know that it had come to light at the time. In principle, after the police coordinated my testimony, they also believed that she was worthy of the accusation.
It was an act of self-surrender that made up for the past. After my father considered it, he asked me for my opinion, and I said a few good words to Jian Xinyue. After all, Jian Xinyue had done her best in helping me over the years. The family basically decided not to pursue her. I guess
She will still be prosecuted for harboring the crime in the end, but she should be given a suspended sentence."
Cheng Yu nodded slightly. From this point of view, Xue Changyun was really a very kind-hearted person.
"I have also told my family about your thoughts. What my father means is that you have helped us so much. At least it has solved our family's biggest worry in the past two years. Since you have such thoughts
, we gave up on this project. However, we were short of time and had not had time to discuss it with the shareholders. My father’s opinion is that the shareholders will not let go easily, and there must be a relatively equivalent exchange.”
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Then let's talk about this later. Anyway, you should already know what I can offer in exchange."
"I told my father about this. His opinion is that we are not greedy, but our Xue family needs at least half of the twelve points of the first round of financing."
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Okay, let's deal with these two shareholders first. I'd like to trouble you to worry about it. I've already signed all the things that I need to sign about the new company. As for me,
My father's way of doing things is basically I will find a time to go to Du's house tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to propose marriage, and then Xiaoyu and I will get the certificate and he will announce it. By then, your communication with those shareholders will be much smoother."
"good."
The two returned to the sofa. Chen Jiang had drunk a lot of wine and was dancing and singing with a girl in his arms.
Under the attentive company of the deputy manager, Wu Jing also relaxed a little and was no longer as rigid as before, but it was obvious that he was still not comfortable with this kind of situation.
This is certainly not the time to talk about anything.
Cheng Yu and Xue Changyun only had a drink with them from time to time.
When Chen Jiang's eyes started to become a little blurry, Xue Changyun pulled Cheng Yu to sit next to him. The girls sat around in a smart way. The deputy manager said to Wu Jing: "Wu Gong, how about we sit there too?"
"
Of course Wu Jing knew what was going on and said, "You can stay, I'll just go over."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to Chen Jiang and said, "Chen Suo, you drank a little too much today. Do you want to take a rest?"
Chen Jiang was actually still a little reluctant to leave, and his eyes lingered more on those girls.
He raised his head, glanced at Wu Jing, then looked at the postures of Xue Changyun and Cheng Yu, and said, "Wu Gong, please sit down first."
