Chapter 194: Scientific research is a big business
"If this is the case, we can also consider another way of cooperation, that is, asking independent research institutions to develop new products, and the company is only responsible for producing according to the design. However, a part of the product price needs to be allocated to the research institution.
Profit. Can everyone accept this plan?" Qin Hai asked everyone with a smile.
Liu Jie interjected: "Secretary Qin, you said that a portion of the product price should be allocated. How much should be allocated?"
Qin Haidao: "Between the price difference between traditional products and modified products, 40% to 60% will be divided. As the income of product developers, does Director Liu think this ratio is acceptable?"
"40% to 60%? Isn't that almost half?" Liu Jie smacked his tongue, "This means that we have to give half of the money we earn through hard work to others."
Lu Xiaolin couldn't help but interjected: "Director Liu, if you think this ratio is too high, you can develop it yourself. Our Director Yang said that technology is priceless, which is what we suggested to everyone a few days ago.
That’s why we do our own research and development.”
"This..." Liu Jie was at a loss for words. He turned to look at Wang Song'an and the other factory directors, and found that everyone had a look of reluctance in their eyes, but they didn't know what to say.
Qin Haidao: "We have to go back and report this matter to Director Yang before we can determine it. We also need to ask our superiors for instructions on the specific share ratio. It cannot be settled by just a few of us. All the leaders here should also think about this.
The question is whether it is more cost-effective to do research and development on your own or to purchase mature technology. As for the localization office, it doesn’t matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat. We welcome both methods."
"That's right, let's go back and think about this problem." Wang Songan followed Qin Hai's words and said.
The meeting reached this point and ended in vain. Wang Songan asked each company to go back and think about whether to engage in independent research and development, but the Jintang Economic Commission was unwilling to take responsibility for the failure of research and development. How could each company have the courage and enthusiasm to go it alone?
Taking risks? In the end, Qin Hai’s idea of introducing mature technologies was more in line with everyone’s actual situation. Just allocating 50% of the profits as technology expenditures really made the factory directors feel painful.
"Damn it, if a ton of modified polyvinyl chloride has a profit of 2,000 yuan, then the localization office will take away 1,000 yuan just for providing a formula. Calculating the production of 1,000 tons a year, they will take away 1 million yuan in vain.
It’s really too dark.” When the meeting ended, Yu Kexiu muttered to Liu Jie beside him as he walked out.
Liu Jie said: "Didn't someone say that if you don't accept it, go ahead and do it yourself!"
"If it were my own business, I would really invest my own money in it. Once the technology is developed, it can last a lifetime, which is very cost-effective." Yu Kexiu said.
Liu Jie cooed at Wang Songan who was not far away, and said: "Old Wang is not willing to take responsibility, so why are you taking the responsibility? After all, the company is not your own. If you mess up, your name will be clear for the rest of your life.
It’s over.”
"Alas!" Yu Kexiu sighed. "Nowadays, newspapers are discussing why state-owned enterprises cannot do well. Look at things like this. It's surprising that we can do well."
The factory directors were sighing, and several members of the working group here were also whispering. As soon as they left the meeting place, Lu Xiaolin pulled Qin Hai and asked: "Xiao Qin, what you said in the meeting place today did not go through Yang.
The director agreed, can you be responsible for these words?"
Qin Hai chuckled and said, "Aren't you going to speak for me too?"
Lu Xiaolin stamped her feet and said: "You have already said it. How can I still deny you? Besides, Director Yang also told me that you can freely express yourself in technical matters. This problem can also be regarded as technical.
Something?"
"This can't be regarded as a technical problem, right? This should be regarded as a management problem." Xia Yangjie adjusted his glasses and said slowly, "Xiao Qin, you said that you can find someone to develop the technology first and then sell it to these companies. You are not
Do you want to find a university to do development?"
Qin Haidao: "Looking to universities for development is one way, and you can also find private research institutions for development. I think that state-owned enterprises have no motivation to engage in research and development, and private institutions may not believe in evil. As long as we can give high returns,
I believe there must be someone willing to come forward and do it.”
"Private research institutions?"
Qin Hai smiled and said: "Don't worry, there will be brave men under the heavy reward. However, this matter must be approved by Director Yang. Xiaolu, Lao Xia, you will have to help me speak together later."
"That's no problem." Xia Yangjie said, "Looking at the behavior of these companies, I don't think we can rely on them to develop new products. But, Xiao Qin, are you sure that there are private organizations willing to do such work?
?"
"I'm sure." Qin Hai replied.
"I understand!" Lu Xiaolin suddenly slapped her head, "Don't you have an automotive materials research institute in Beixi? Are you trying to take advantage of them?"
Qin Hai smiled and said: "No, that research institute in Beixi is mainly engaged in metal materials. They have no advantage in polymers. Don't ask more about this matter now. I will always have a solution when the time comes.
"
"You're trying to be mysterious again!" Lu Xiaolin glared at Qin Hai and said.
When several people were talking, Heizi followed him silently as usual. Lu Xiaolin and Xia Yangjie couldn't figure out what Qin Hai wanted to do, but Heizi felt like a mirror in his heart. He knew that his boss must have moved again.
I want to set up my own research institute to research and develop new materials. According to past rules, once my boss has an idea, he will put it into practice, and the final result will definitely be very optimistic.
Heizi guessed right. What Qin Hai wanted in his heart was indeed to set up his own company and build his own materials research institute to provide mature technologies for those companies that were unwilling or unable to invest in scientific research, and then rely on
These techniques earn high profits.
Qin Hai has some ideas about modified polyvinyl chloride, modified glass fiber nylon, etc. It is not difficult to break through these technologies as long as he finds a few knowledgeable people and conducts some experiments according to his ideas.
Qin Hai has not been able to get involved in the automotive materials research institute in Beixi. Now, he will not let go of this opportunity no matter what.
Scientific research can also be turned into a business, and it can definitely turn into a big deal. The localization of automobiles is a very good platform, and Qin Hai wants to find his place on this platform.
The working group stayed in Jintang for another two days, and then headed back to Pujiang. On behalf of the working group, Qin Hai reported to Yang Xinyu what he had learned and learned from the trip. He heard that the Jintang Economic Commission and various enterprises were not willing to take the responsibility.
When talking about the risks of R&D, Yang Xinyu’s eyebrows furrowed into a big pimple.
"When there are benefits, everyone comes. When there are risks, everyone hides. Like this, when will our country's technology catch up with the level of developed countries!" Yang Xinyu sighed.
Qin Haidao: "Director Yang, you also have to understand the difficulties of the grassroots. Our traditional business management emphasizes sound management, and it is understandable that everyone is unwilling to take risks. Let's say we localize it. We can do it for the enterprise.
Do you want to take this risk?”
Yang Xinyu nodded and said: "Of course I know what you are saying. Could you please tell me how to solve this problem?"
Qin Hai poked Lu Xiaolin and signaled Lu Xiaolin to report the matter. Lu Xiaolin glared at Qin Hai, and then said to Yang Xinyu: "Director Yang, Xiao Qin proposed an idea in Jintang, which is to
Separate R&D and production, let specialized R&D institutions develop new products, and then hand over the technology to manufacturing companies for production. After this idea was put forward, it was supported by some companies in Jintang City."
Yang Xinyu said: "This idea is not new. We have previously imagined the idea of integrating industry, academia and research, that is, letting universities and scientific research institutes undertake scientific research tasks, and enterprises are only responsible for production. But our original idea was that enterprises should
Xiao Qin’s idea now is to bear the investment in research and development, which is to make the two parties independent of each other and fight on their own, which may be a bit difficult.”
"What's the difficulty?" Qin Hai asked.
Yang Xinyu said: "According to this idea, enterprises can just sit back and enjoy the gains, while the scientific research department has to bear the risks of R&D. This is too unfair."
Qin Haidao: "So I also proposed that the scientific research department should share a part of the profits from the company's production, for example, about 50%. In this way, the scientific research department will be motivated."
"But where does the initial investment of the scientific research department come from? Also, if the scientific research department fails to achieve results after investing, who will bear the investment?" Yang Xinyu asked.
Qin Haidao: "It depends on whether the scientific research department has this kind of awareness of venture capital. I suggest that we should not limit the main body of scientific research to universities and scientific research institutes. We can also attract private forces to participate. This is called open-door scientific research."
"What a great opening for scientific research!" Yang Xinyu laughed, and at the same time looked at Qin Hai with a meaningful look, not revealing Qin Hai's true intention.
Unlike Lu Xiaolin, Yang Xinyu has a deeper understanding of Qin Hai. Through the previous events at Qingfeng Factory, Yang Xinyu has vaguely felt that Qin Hai has many hidden skills. At this time, he heard Qin Hai say that he wanted to attract
With the participation of private forces, Yang Xinyu immediately realized that Qin Hai was preparing the stage for himself.
"This idea of opening up scientific research is a good one. We should indeed mobilize all available forces to participate in the country's scientific research. Xiao Qin, please write this idea into a report, and I will personally ask the minister for instructions." Yang Xinyu said. (Unfinished)
