Whether it was BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or other car companies, they all underestimated Shi Zhijian's "hungry" for talents. After retrieving Pietro, a high-tech talent, Shi Zhijian directly spent money and asked Pietro to take the lead.
A research and development team, just like Shi Zhijian did in the UK, let Professor Hawking take the lead in research.
As for talents, Shi Zhijian gave Pietro a sentence: "As long as you think it is worth it, no matter how much it costs, you must recruit it! You know, what is the most important thing in the 20th century? Talent is still talent!"
Pietro was also a passionate man. When he agreed to follow Shi Zhijian's footsteps and sell the convenience store, he had already tied his fate and future to Shi Zhijian's belt.
He knows that as a research and development personnel, only with strong support from his boss, especially financial and human support, can the so-called "research and development" be effective and achieve results.
So in the following days, Pietro started writing a list of talents like the Gestapo. This so-and-so has expertise in certain aspects and has profound research on the structure of engines. That so-and-so also has expertise in other aspects and has researched the engines of Mercedes-Benz and BMW models.
Deep and penetrating.
When Pietro handed Shi Zhijian the list, which was written all over a piece of paper, no matter how courageous Shi Zhijian was, he couldn't help but be surprised.
The above personnel almost cover large companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen in Germany.
If we try to catch all these people in one fell swoop, it will definitely cause a huge earthquake among German car companies.
Not to mention, Shi Zhijian might be the target of public criticism and be collectively attacked by those big companies.
So Shi Zhijian revised the list, leaving some people who could be poached, and calling back the others, telling Pietro: "We want to develop the company, not destroy it! Besides, the masters are among the people, you can do more
There is no need to steal people from many big companies by digging from the private sector! In addition, talents can also be cultivated, just like you like to plant flowers, cultivate them slowly, and grow vigorously under the nourishment of the spring breeze, so that beautiful flowers will bloom in the future!"
Pietro is not stupid either. As soon as he heard this, he understood that the boss is scared! No, to be precise, the boss is not crazy yet.
Pietro also knew that he had not considered the consequences before, so he immediately changed his strategy and personally went to major schools to select talents, euphemistically calling it "a mythical car company interacting with universities to help college students find a perfect job!"
Not to mention, several high-end universities in Germany, such as the University of Munich, Heidelberg University, RWTH Aachen University, etc., actually have many top students, and these people are extremely talented in mechanical research and development.
In accordance with the principle of "I would rather kill the wrong person than let go" issued by Shi Zhijian, Pietro recruited all these people into the company and into his own R&D team, offering high salary inducements, and then following Shi Zhijian's instructions, he used slogans to these top German students
Brainwashing: "Shinhua is my home and everyone loves it! Loving Shinhwa is equal to loving yourself! Oh yeah!"
I come here once a day in the morning, noon and evening to give them blood injections, give them political lessons, and tell them the history of the development of Shinhwa, so that they can resonate with each other and feel proud to be Shinhwa people!
In this way, after spending almost three million US dollars, Shi Zhijian built a brand new automotive engine research and development team!
This seems unbelievable to the outside world. After all, technology research and development is time lag and results are slow. According to the German understanding, Shi Zhijian might as well spend money to buy technology patents, so that it can come quickly!
But only Shi Zhijian knew that his motherland's semiconductor industry in his previous life had taught him a great truth - if you fall behind, you will be beaten!
If you don’t engage in technology research and development yourself, you will only be beaten in the future!
…
Just as the research and development team of Shi Zhijian's Shinhwa Car Company was being established, with the help of Mayor Paul, Shi Zhijian was about to meet with the heads of the three major German families - the Krupp family, the Juncker family, and the Siemens family.
Mayor Paul very thoughtfully arranged the meeting place in the VIP lounge of the Hilton Hotel.
This hotel belongs to an American hotel chain and does not belong to the three major family industries - there is no way, because these three major families are too powerful and basically monopolize the German hotel service industry. I want to find a hotel that is not under their group.
All are difficult.
At this moment, in the VIP room, the three German giants were leaning against the conference table, smoking cigars arrogantly.
"Damn Paul, you knew we were very busy, yet you invited us here!" This is a middle-aged man with blond hair, a sharp face, a pair of brown eyes, and a face full of arrogance. He is the third member of the Krupp family.
The sixth generation leader Haierson!
"I heard that the Chinese guy we are going to meet later is interesting!" This is a middle-aged fat man, biting a cigar, constantly turning it in his mouth, his eyes full of cunning. He is Connor, the head of the Juncker family.
"It's very interesting. The Chinese are very hard-working and smart, second only to us Germans! I know them well!" This is a thin man with a calm tone. He is proud of his own nation and also has a deep respect for the Chinese people.
Praise, he is Fred, the head of Siemens.
"Scoff!" Hailsen sneered at Fred's words. As one of the oldest families in Germany, although the Krupp family was no longer glorious during World War II and was "liquidated" after the war, it was a lean camel.
Even though he is bigger than Martha, he still looks down on other ethnic groups.
"In my opinion, your Siemens family is very friendly, and your relationship with the Chinese has always been very good. After all, China's first power plant and first transmitter were all completed with the help of your Siemens family!"
"Yes, you Siemens have great affection for these Chinese people, but that doesn't mean we can associate with them!" Connor sneered, "Because we only cooperate with the strong!"
Fred was ridiculed by his two companions, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "As for whether Mr. Shi Zhijian is a strong man or not, we will find out later!"
"Really, I'm looking forward to it!" Hailsham and Connor looked at each other with contempt in their eyes!
In their opinion, the Chinese named "Shi Zhijian" has a false name! A Chinese can show off his power in the UK because those British guys are too stupid, but this is Germany, and they will never be deceived!
While the three were talking, there was a knock on the door, and soon the secretary and others came in surrounded by Mayor Paul.
Mayor Paul smiled and said to the three giants: "Sorry, wait a moment, Mr. Shi will be here soon!"
"Damn it! He invited us here, but he's late! He's quite arrogant!" Hailsson flicked his cigar with a look of displeasure on his face.
"If he doesn't come again, I'm sorry, Mayor Paul. It's not that we don't give you face, it's that we hate people who are late!" Connor said with an arrogant expression while biting his cigar.
Mayor Paul looked at Fred, who smiled at him but said nothing.
Just when the atmosphere became awkward, a voice said: "Sorry, I'm late! I kept everyone waiting!"
As he was talking, he saw a young man in white walking into the conference room with a smile.
