Nanxing’s technology has made breakthroughs one after another.
Meng Zhiyuan felt a sense of crisis.
Previously, Meng Zhiyuan thought that the first technological breakthrough was the result of years of accumulation in Nanxing.
Now there is another technological breakthrough, and Meng Zhiyuan feels "horrified".
If the core parts of machine tools can be produced in Nanxing, then domestic machine tool companies will definitely choose to buy parts from Nanxing and will not import them from abroad. Because it’s expensive abroad.
If this happens, what will happen?
In the domestic machine tool industry, Nanxing is the dominant company, and other companies have to look at Nanxing's face to act.
Meng Zhiyuan's people wanted to beg for food from Nanxing.
"no!"
"Absolutely not like this!"
Meng Zhiyuan was silent for a while and then told Lao Mao: "Notify all directors to hold a meeting."
"Yes." Lao Mao probably guessed what Meng Zhiyuan was going to do.
meeting room.
All the directors of Zhongcheng have arrived.
"Nanxing has made another breakthrough in a key technology. This is the situation." Lao Mao reported.
"Now that Nanxing has made another technological breakthrough, we must quickly contact Nanxing to purchase the right to use the patent or sign a contract to purchase parts." someone said.
"Yes, Nanxing can produce core parts, and then our costs will also be reduced."
"Nanxing has been developing rapidly recently." Someone said in a sad tone.
"Nanxing is in his second spring."
"Nanxing is very lucky."
"That's right, I thought Nanxing would be on the verge of bankruptcy again." Knowing that Nanxing was engaged in research and development, some people kept thinking that Nanxing would fail and go bankrupt.
Other directors didn't pay much attention to Nanxing's technological breakthroughs.
Although this kind of thing is rare, it has happened before.
For these directors, it's just a matter of switching to a different company for sourcing parts. Not much has changed.
"Everyone." Meng Zhiyuan did not remain silent and spoke, "If Zhongcheng wants to develop and grow, it must have its own core technology.
Otherwise, Zhongcheng's fate can only be in the hands of others. "
This time, Meng Zhiyuan really had the idea of setting up a research and development department.
"What does Mr. Meng mean by independent research and development?" someone asked.
"Yes, if Zhongcheng wants to develop and grow, independent research and development is essential." Meng Zhiyuan looked serious.
"I don't know how much money is needed to invest in independent research and development?" another person asked.
"This is the preparatory plan given by the R&D Department. Let's take a look." Meng Zhiyuan took out the plan that Su Mingyu had revised again and again and distributed it to everyone.
Everyone flipped through it casually.
"Do you need to invest so much money?"
"Yeah, isn't this R&D equipment too expensive?"
"The salary of R&D personnel is a bit high, right?"
"The R&D funding needs to be so much? Isn't it unreasonable?"
Everyone looked embarrassed and felt that this plan cost too much money.
"This plan is already the minimum budget." Meng Zhiyuan explained. Meng Zhiyuan had someone study the plan given by Su Mingyu and knew that it was already very economical.
"Mr. Meng, independent research and development is essential, but I don't think it's time yet." Someone objected.
"Yes, Mr. Meng, the company is on the rise now, and all the funds are used to develop the market. There is no money for research and development."
"Independent research and development is very risky. Although Nanxing has made breakthroughs in two technologies, everyone will not forget that Nanxing is on the verge of bankruptcy, right?"
“Yes, although Nanxing has achieved breakthroughs in two key technologies, this should be due to luck.
Can Nanxing make a technological breakthrough next?
I think it's unlikely.
Nanxing is far behind the big foreign companies. "
"Mr. Meng, if we engage in independent research and development, do we need to pursue investment?" Someone asked clearly.
"Yes, we need everyone to invest again." Meng Zhiyuan also made it clear.
"I'm sorry, all my money has been invested in real estate recently and I have no money to invest." Someone said directly.
"Me too, I recently bought a commercial building and I have no money."
"I just bought a piece of land there and am preparing to get a loan from the bank to build a building."
"I am investing in developing villas."
"Although I didn't invest in real estate, I invested in opening a pharmacy."
"The drugstore is also a good business, with higher profits!"
Meng Zhiyuan returned to the office with an ugly expression.
Meng Zhiyuan wanted to engage in research and development, but was rejected by others.
Meng Zhiyuan does it alone? It's basically impossible, and he doesn't have that much money.
He picked up the R&D department preparation plan written by Su Mingyu again, flipped through it, and Meng Zhiyuan put it down with some upset.
"Do you want to keep Su Mingyu?"
Meng Zhiyuan hesitated and shook his head, "Su Mingyu can't stay!"
Not a few days.
Nanxing held another negotiation meeting.
Meng Zhiyuan led the team to participate and signed a contract with Nanxing.
In Meng Zhiyuan's view, this contract is still unfair and too 'harsh'.
But Meng Zhiyuan couldn't refuse.
Because if you don’t choose Nanxing, you have to choose abroad. Foreign contracts are even more unfair.
The difference from last time was that Su Mingyu was not among the people who came with Meng Zhiyuan this time.
That's right.
Su Mingyu didn't come.
Su Mingyu has resigned.
Su Mingyu personally took the resignation letter and handed it to Meng Zhiyuan.
"Master, I have always had a dream, which is to study abroad in Chou Country." Su Mingyu did not fall out with Meng Zhiyuan, nor did she say that Meng Zhiyuan was cheating on her.
In Su Mingyu's case, she would not speak ill of Meng Zhiyuan.
Su Mingyu found a more suitable explanation, which could be regarded as her true thoughts, and told Meng Zhiyuan about her resignation, which saved face for both parties.
"Mingyu, your R&D department's preparation plan was not approved by the board of directors. I have tried my best." Since the board of directors was held, Meng Zhiyuan also had sufficient reasons to explain to Su Mingyu that the two of them were not too embarrassed.
"Master, I understand that the R&D department should be established, but now may not be the time. I went to Chou Country and will help Master pay attention to this news."
"Okay, I look forward to your return after completing your studies and setting up the R&D department again."
"Master, Liu Qing is a good young talent. I hope Master can train him more."
"I'll give him a chance."
Su Mingyu left Zhongcheng like this.
Her departure didn't have much impact.
Of course, it's not like no one cares about Su Mingyu's departure.
At least there is someone who cares about Su Mingyu.
Lakeside.
"Are you going to leave Zhongcheng like this?" Liu Qing looked unwilling.
He was unwilling to give up for Su Mingyu.
"Liu Qing, I plan to study abroad in Chou Country in half a year." Su Mingyu was calm and calm, not angry at leaving Zhongcheng.
"No, aren't you angry?" Liu Qing was angry for Su Mingyu.
"Why are you angry?" Su Mingyu wasn't pretending, she really wasn't angry.
Su Mingyu had thought of leaving Zhongcheng before.
It's because there are too many things going on in Zhongcheng, so I have to continue to stay in Zhongcheng.
Now, Su Mingyu has nothing to do and can finally do something she wants to do.
Liu Qing looked at Su Mingyu seriously and saw that Su Mingyu was really not angry, so she gave a thumbs up, "I'm convinced!"
"Liu Qing, I've left Zhongcheng. As for you, to be honest, I'm still a little worried."
"What are you worried about?"
"Liu Qing, you are capable, but you are a bit arrogant and impulsive. I am worried that you have done something wrong." Su Mingyu was really worried about Liu Qing.
"Don't worry, you have left Zhongcheng.
Either I leave too, or I pretend to be a grandson from now on. "Liu Qing is not a fool.
When Su Mingyu was here, he had a backer.
Now that Su Mingyu is gone, Liu Qing has lost a lot of bonds with Zhongcheng.
"From now on, you're on your own." Su Mingyu patted Liu Qing on the shoulder and left.
Liu Qing's eyes were a little moist, but she still felt sorry for Su Mingyu.
Wutong Court.
I told Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li about Su Mingyu's resignation.
"That's right, I should have resigned a long time ago. Come on, let's toast and celebrate!" Su Mingcheng raised a cup of congratulations.
"It's time to celebrate!" Julie raised the cup.
"Cheers!" Su Mingyu was also happy, and the disappointment in her heart was quickly dissipating.
Although Su Mingyu was not angry at leaving Zhongcheng like that, she was still a little disappointed.
Zhongcheng is still very important in Su Mingyu's heart.
Zhongcheng has Su Mingyu's youth and sweat, and has many memories.
"Study hard, study abroad early, find a classmate as your boyfriend, and get married early."
"Second brother, I understand."
Without talking too much, Su Mingyu said goodbye and left.
Su Mingcheng called Zhao Meilan.
"Mom, Mingyu has resigned. She plans to study abroad in Chou Country in half a year."
"I know." The knot in Zhao Meilan's heart was still there.
Zhao Meilan was usually concerned about Su Mingyu's affairs, but it was not easy to see Su Mingyu and reconcile with Su Mingyu.
It's not that Zhao Meilan doesn't forgive Su Mingyu, it's that Zhao Meilan can't forgive herself.
Taihu Villa.
Su Mingcheng's family, Su Daqiang, Zhao Meilan, Zhu Li's parents, all came.
Of course, Su Mingyu is here too.
Su Mingyu hasn't met Zhao Meilan for a long time.
Now, Su Mingcheng's villa has been renovated and has been vacant for a long time. It is ready for move-in.
Su Mingcheng's family, Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan, are all going to live here.
Julie's parents' room was also packed up so they could stay.
"This yard is not small!" Zhu Li's mother said to Zhao Meilan.
"Yes, Daqiang and I also planted some vegetables." Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang often came here before.
If I'm not cleaning, I'm tidying up the yard, growing vegetables, etc.
"That's good. I heard that there are a lot of pesticides in the vegetables sold outside."
"Yes, we can eat the vegetables we grow ourselves with confidence."
On the side, Teacher Zhu and Su Daqiang were also chatting casually.
"There are quite a lot of rooms here. Isn't it easy to clean them?" Teacher Zhu said.
"It's not easy. Mingcheng's mother and I have been cleaning these days.
Originally, Mingcheng said he would find a housekeeping company.
But Mingcheng’s mother disagreed.
Good guy, I'm tired.
My waist is still sore now. "
"It's really not easy for you two to clean up such a big house."
"So, in-laws, you two should move here quickly.
Let's clean up together and plant vegetables together. "
"We'd better forget it, it's closer to the workplace."
"It's not far from here. Don't you have a car?"
"It's not convenient to drive, and there are traffic jams on the road."
"That's true, there are more and more cars on the road."
Su Mingcheng, Zhu Li, and Su Mingyu were also chatting.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, your villa is beautifully decorated."
"It's all designed by your second sister-in-law. She has good taste."
"No, the designer from the decoration company is good. By the way, Mingyu, how is the decoration of your villa going?"
“It was recently renovated and it’s still a mess inside.”
"Go and take a look when you have time. Some masters are deliberately not serious about their work."
"I know. I'll find someone to keep an eye on them."
"Mingyu, your second brother has also tidied up a bedroom for you, and you can come and live there too."
"No need, my villa is over there, very close."
"Isn't it still decorated?"
"Soon."
Moving, chatting, firing up the cooking.
Of course, the chef is still Su Mingcheng.
"Mingcheng, your cooking tastes so good!"
"Mingcheng, your knife skills are so good!"
"Mingcheng, can you also cook Shandong cuisine?"
“Is this Cantonese food?”
"This is Sichuan food."
"Is this Western food?"
"Mingcheng, how many cuisines do you know?"
Su Mingcheng showed off his skills this time.
Several dishes from all major cuisines have been prepared.
Meals are prepared quickly.
"Cheers!" Everyone celebrated the housewarming together.
Eat, drink, and chat.
Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan chatted with Zhu Li's parents about work.
Nowadays, Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan are not the lowest-level staff. They have been promoted and can be considered as 'leaders'. They can be considered as active chatters about work with Zhu Li's parents.
Su Mingcheng, Zhu Li, and Su Mingyu mainly talked about Su Mingyu going abroad.
However, Su Mingyu is still somewhat concerned about Nanxing's technology research and development.
"Second brother, your Nanxing R&D department is so powerful. In a short period of time, you have made another breakthrough in a key technology."
"It's all done well by the researchers in the R&D department."
"Second brother, aren't you Nanxing afraid of failure in research and development?"
"Afraid, how could you not be afraid? However, you can't be afraid of research and development just because you're afraid of failure."
"That's the truth." Su Mingyu nodded, "I contacted my elder brother recently and he helped me find a lot of information."
"That's right, little sister, have you decided which university you want to go to?"
"Just go to Stanford."
"It's good. If you go there, you can live with your elder brother. He will take care of you. It's also convenient."
"right."
Su Mingcheng, Zhu Li, and two children lived in the villa.
Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan have not moved in yet.
In Zhao Meilan's words, if you wait a little longer, it's not far away anyway, and they can come here often.
Julie's parents didn't live in the villa either.
They also promised to come often.
From now on, we will have dinner together at the villa on weekends.
There is no need for Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li to take their two children to their parents' homes.
During normal times, when the house is tidied up, Julie plans to hire a part-time worker to clean it.
It didn't take long.
Liu Qing met Su Mingyu again.
"I'm fired." Liu Qing looked angry.
"What's going on?" After Su Mingyu left Zhongcheng, Su Mingyu basically didn't care about Zhongcheng's affairs.
"What else could be going on? Lao Meng was just killing the donkey."
"explain!"
"After you left, didn't you recommend me to be a sales manager?
Lao Meng did not allow me to successfully become a manager and set a condition for me.
It can only be done after it is said to be completed.
I believe it.
As a result, while I was working hard, Lao Meng arranged for someone to ignore me.
Then, kick me away.
I was not convinced, so I had a fight with Lao Meng and was fired. "
"Didn't I tell you not to be impulsive?" Su Mingyu was speechless. Liu Qing is just too impulsive.
"Boss, Lao Meng bullies me like this, can I not be angry and impulsive?"
"Then what do you do now?"
"I don't know anymore. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive in this industry."
"Why?"
"Although Lao Meng didn't say anything about banning me, some people spread the word about me with added jealousy. No one in the same industry will use me anymore."
"Where is Nanxing? Why don't you go to Nanxing?"
"Nanxing? Can I go?"
"Just tell me if you want to go to Nanxing?"
“Of course I want to go.
Boss, you don’t know, right?
Now Nanxing is so awesome.
Which domestic machine tool company is not the younger brother of Nanxing?
If Nanxing breaks through another technology, it will really break the blockade of foreign low-end machine tools.
From now on, the production of low-end machine tools will be entirely domestic, without the need to import any parts. "
"I know." Of course Su Mingyu knew that Nanxing was very powerful.
But when I think that Zhongcheng is only doing assembly and not doing research and development, I feel a little disappointed.
"Boss, I heard that Nanxing has already made some research and development results in high-end machine tools."
"Seems to be."
"Nanxing is really powerful. By the way, boss, is your second brother the major shareholder of Nanxing?"
"You knew already?"
"I heard it recently, boss, you hide it so deeply!"
"I said I just found out not long ago, do you believe it?"
"Believe it, why don't you believe it? Boss, maybe you were driven away by Lao Meng because of this."
Su Mingyu smiled bitterly and said nothing.
"Boss, when will you introduce me to Nanxing?" (End of Chapter)
