"Director Zhang, please listen to my explanation. East can no longer follow the old path. I have long wanted to carry out comprehensive rectifications on it. My initial idea is to refer to the operation model of Alamos Laboratory."
"Alamos Laboratory?"
Zhang Hao was confused.
Chen Benrong quickly introduced: "This laboratory is located on the other side of the ocean. It was founded more than a hundred years ago. Its first task was the famous Manhattan Project."
"The Manhattan Project that built the atomic bomb?"
"Yes, Alamos Laboratory was once the largest multi-functional laboratory in the world, and it is very suitable for the situation we are facing now.
As we all know, controllable nuclear fusion is a systematic and large-scale project. With the deepening of research, there are many disciplines and technical categories involved.
The original management system is somewhat lagging behind and needs to be comprehensively rectified. At the same time, we can also take the opportunity to correct some of the shortcomings of local laboratories and truly eliminate the bad and retain the good."
"In this case, then Dean Chen, you should take over as general manager, right?"
Zhang Hao expressed confusion.
The most important thing about reform is to seize power.
The other party neither wants to seize power, but also wants to carry out in-depth reforms in the east. Isn’t this contradictory?
Chen Benrong said confidently: "Dr. Zhang, as the saying goes, there is a specialization in the industry. Although I am not unfamiliar with the management model of Western laboratories, I can even say that I understand it very well, but I lack practical management experience.
In order to minimize detours, I suggest directly hiring a senior person with Western laboratory management experience and let him lead the rectification."
"Dean Chen, do you have anyone in mind?"
Zhang Hao followed up and asked.
Chen Benrong nodded: "There are a few of them, and as far as I know, they all happen to be in Europa. I would like to visit them in person then."
"I can't make the decision on this matter alone." Zhang Hao paused, "When you move to Zhucheng, let's find the people above to do the total together?"
After all, the east project involves a lot of work.
I don’t know if there is any taboo here.
"That's okay. I'm going to join a group of relevant industry insiders to submit a future development plan proposal for controllable nuclear fusion to the federal government. I hope it will attract attention within the industry and lay a good foundation for the new journey." p>
"Good idea." Zhang Hao immediately gave a thumbs up, "In this way, we will definitely attract more people to join our new company."
Next, the two talked about some salary issues. Scientific researchers are also human beings, and they also need to support their families in Hukou. They cannot just paint a big pie.
Zhang Hao was well prepared and put forward the plan that he had discussed with Zhucheng officials in advance on the spot.
Generally speaking, household registration, housing, children's education, etc. are not a problem.
As for the salary, although it is not as good as that of Southeast Fishery Company, it is not much different and far exceeds that of ordinary white-collar workers.
As long as you are a regular employee, your monthly salary starts at RMB 60,000.
Of course, this salary is not that easy to get. It has very strict requirements for academic qualifications and majors, and most people can only look forward to it.
Dean Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Director Zhang, I have one last question, who has the final say in the future of the new company? Is it you? Or the Huicheng officials? Or simply let the federation personally take over the micro-management?"
"Before it was transferred to the Federation, I contributed the most money, and of course I made the decision. Don't worry, the above means the same. After all, controllable nuclear fusion is not something that happens overnight. At this stage, it is best to proceed steadily."
Speaking of which, the reason why the higher-ups are willing to let go is thanks to Zhang Hao's glorious achievements in the past, which makes people unconsciously feel a sense of blind trust.
"I want to hear from you, Mr. Zhang..."
Zhang Hao waved his hand and quickly reassured: "I am not a professional. Apart from financial supervision and personnel rights, I will not easily interfere in your daily work."
"What about KPI? I believe you, Director Zhang, also know that controllable nuclear fusion is different from ordinary scientific research projects. There may be no progress for months...or even years."
Chen Benrong tried to remind.
If the other party chooses to rush for quick success, it will cause immeasurable damage to the entire project. Scientific research is not a personal relationship, and scientific laws must be respected.
"Dean Chen, let me tell you the truth! I have no intention of making money from this project. Once all the money is burned, I will quit without hesitation.
So the situation is very clear. I will not interfere with your normal scientific research work, nor will I give random instructions and force you to achieve results.
Of course, if you really achieve results, the company will definitely provide corresponding incentives with no upper limit, ensuring that everyone is satisfied.
Having said so much, in a word, as long as it is related to research, you, Dean Chen, make the decision, and no one can interfere in the laboratory without you."
Upon hearing the other party's promise, Chen Benrong's blood surged instantly. He didn't have to worry about funding or be kidnapped by political achievements. This was the scientific research environment he dreamed of.
The only thing uncertain is whether these words are true or are they deliberately used to deal with him?
We can only take one step at a time.
……
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye. With the full cooperation of Feicheng officials, the meat rat breeding farm is being prepared in an orderly manner. On the other side, the east project has just signed an acquisition agreement not long ago.
The new company has been registered, and its name is Shuguang New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., or Shuguang New Energy for short, with a registered capital of 30 billion yuan.
The newly established Shuguang New Energy has a total of four major shareholders, namely Zhang Hao, which holds 30% of the shares, Eastern Academy of Science and Technology, which holds 28% of the shares, and Huicheng Official, which holds 32% of the shares.
, and Feicheng Official, which holds 10% of the shares.
Zhang Hao's shareholding ratio has not changed, mainly because the Eastern Academy of Sciences and Huicheng officials have carried forward the spirit of integrity and voluntarily given up part of their equity.
In fact, the reason is very clear. Before the federal intervention, the number of shares had no practical significance. At most, it was an entry ticket.
Trying to seize the ultimate "black technology" of human civilization with only 100 billion is tantamount to whimsical.
Before leaving Feicheng, Zhang Hao hosted a banquet for Mayor Liu, Chen Benrong and others, which was a perfect end to the trip.
"Mayor Liu, I'll leave the farm to you. I will arrange for someone to take over the farm as soon as possible. I believe it should be put into operation before New Year's Day."
Zhang Hao raised his glass and gave the other party a toast.
Mayor Liu drank it all in one gulp and then suggested:
"Director Zhang, the temperature is getting lower day by day, and it will be almost winter in a month. If we encounter bad weather, traffic will definitely be blocked. Can we transport the feed in advance?"
】
"No problem, I will make arrangements when I get back. A total of 50,000 tons of feed will be delivered in this batch, which is enough to survive this winter."
