The rise of nanometers

February 6, New Year’s Eve.

When he woke up in the morning, he had a phone call with Lu Xuedong. The other party had returned to China. At about four o'clock in the morning, he got off the plane at Hongqiao Airport in the magical capital and was now taking a train back to his hometown in Qin Province.

The two chatted for a few minutes, and Huang Weichang came in with a plate of Chinese rice cakes: "Ayuan, my mother made Chinese rice cakes. Are you still going to the company today?"

"I won't go. Brother Da Chang, please go and see how the computer is installed. By the way, find a billboard maker to make a sign and some fonts."

"What's the name going to be?"

Huang Xiuyuan tore out a page from his notebook and wrote: Huang International Investment Fund Company (Shantou Mei Branch).

"That's the name."

"good."

Huang Xiuyuan handed over some small details, and then asked him to call if he had any questions. Considering that the Spring Festival was approaching, he could ask the advertising company to come over after the fifth day of the new year.

With his mission in mind, Huang Weichang drove to the city resolutely.

After eating the vegetable cake, Huang Xiuyuan made a call and asked Cree International, a large domestic headhunting company, to find some talents.

Including president, manager, finance, as well as intellectual property legal affairs, patent registration operations, chemical engineers, materials researchers, etc. designated by Huang Xiuyuan.

He hired more than 30 mid- to high-level talents at once, and he lowered the fee to 25%. Career International's mid- to high-level talent charges are usually 25% to 33% of the talent's annual salary, usually between 40,000 and 150,000 per person. between.

Through emails, faxes, and phone calls, the two parties finalized some general details. After the agreement was made, Huang Xiuyuan first remitted one-third of the advance payment of 100,000 yuan.

Career International's branch in Pengcheng, regardless of the approaching Spring Festival, immediately sent someone to sign this big order.

At noon, he had just put up Spring Festival couplets and blessings when someone from Cree International came down from the highway intersection and appeared in front of his house.

"Hello, Boss Huang, I am Xu Yaomin, the business manager of Career International. This is my business card."

The speaker was wearing a decent navy blue suit, with a shiny slicked back hair, and a smiling expression, like a cunning fox.

"Hello, Manager Xu, let's talk inside."

When he arrived at the house, Huang Xiuyuan added some specific requirements while making tea. Using the printer at home, the two parties quickly finalized the contract and transferred the remaining 200,000 advance payment to Career International through overseas remittances on the Internet. collection account.

Xu Yaomin promised to arrange for the first batch of applicants to come around February 15th, but he did not dare to guarantee it.

The main reason is that Huang Xiuyuan's company has not been established, and the company is established in Shanmei, a small company in a fifth-tier city, which will really persuade a lot of people to quit.

Regarding this, Xu Yaomin can only try to arrange it as much as possible.

Huang Xiuyuan didn't care too much because the conditions he offered were not high.

The CEO with the highest position only earns a monthly salary of 80,000, plus a certain amount of option shares; on the contrary, the salary of engineers and researchers reaches between 50,000 and 100,000 per month, plus option shares, R\u0026D incentives, and patent dividends.

In China in 2008, this salary level was actually pretty good. When the company has stable profits in the future, he will continue to improve benefits.

As for now, Huang Xiuyuan can only make do with it.

The people watching Career International drove away.

Returning to the house, he was now increasingly in need of a qualified manager to help handle these chores.

Without taking a breath, his mother in Shu Province chatted with him on the phone for more than half an hour, explaining things like eating and worshiping ancestors on New Year's Eve, and starting from the third day of the Lunar New Year, when it was time to visit relatives and pay New Year greetings.

When I thought of this, I immediately felt a tingling sensation in my scalp, but since my parents were not at home, he had to do these things.

First, we gave Chinese New Year red envelopes to seven employees at the recycling plant, and then asked them to come back to work on the sixth day of the new year.

I had the New Year's Eve dinner alone, went to the ancestral hall to worship my ancestors, and then came back and fired off the cannons. Suddenly it was past two o'clock in the morning.

After a late nap, when he got up, he took advantage of the first day of the new year and his relatives and friends who came to visit for New Year greetings were not here. He searched online for domestic laboratory construction companies and experimental equipment companies.

To complete the research and development of some new materials, the simple laboratory of the recycling plant is simply useless.

Huang Sixiao was previously asked to help find a new experimental site. Currently, there are three alternative locations. He will start on-site inspections as soon as the Spring Festival is over.

His current job is to check the laboratory construction companies and experimental equipment companies while considering the facilities and equipment needed for the laboratory.

According to the available funds, he has currently transferred a total of 31 million yuan into the country. The current exchange rate is almost the highest since 2008, reaching around 7.16.

When the 31 million yuan was transferred into the country, it became 221.96 million yuan. The balance in the offshore company account totaled about 40.25 million yuan.

His budget for setting up a materials laboratory is around 100 million, and this is still the first phase of planning.

In the current situation of limited funds, he must make a choice and exclude some equipment that is not currently needed from the purchase list.

Many laboratory infrastructure configurations are indispensable. For example, the purity of the preparation area requires a Class 100 clean room, and even a vacuum experimental cabin.

In terms of laboratory equipment, he listed various equipment that have been determined to be needed, including high-resolution X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, Hall tester, etc.

Considering the budget issue, he also worked hard to use the best steel on the blade as much as possible.

Referring to the quotations from those companies, I revised them more than a dozen times and initially budgeted the laboratory construction funds at around 30 million and the equipment purchase funds at around 60 million. I also prepared a reserve fund of 10 million and wrote a simple plan.

One hundred million funds were determined.

Next, Huang Xiuyuan negotiated with these companies through the Internet and phone calls.

In terms of experimental equipment, it was quite fast. Three experimental equipment companies contracted all his equipment orders. The two parties agreed to come to Shanmei to sign the contract on February 13th.

The two construction companies of the laboratory require on-site inspections and can come up with an exact plan and quotation based on the conditions of the site.

Huang Xiuyuan agreed with them to meet in Shanmei City around February 18.

Arrange a series of tasks on the calendar to avoid missing time.

In 2008, when the spirit of the New Year is still strong, the greetings coming from door to door, the beating of gongs, drums and firecrackers are still noisy in this land.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, my sister, who is married to Haifeng, came with her brother-in-law and niece to pay New Year greetings.

Then other relatives and friends came over, and he also went to several relatives' homes.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the house finally became a lot quieter, and the recycling plant began to operate normally. Huang Xiuyuan also went to the recycling plant employees and sent a new year red envelope to everyone, and then left the rest to Xiao Xiao Uncle will deal with it.

It seemed that he was destined to work hard. Before he even stepped through the door of his house, his cell phone rang.

At first glance, it was Lu Xuedong who came from Qin Province. He came to report in advance and was now at the Shanmei Passenger Terminal.

"Brother Da Chang."

"Ayuan." The burly Huang Weichang trotted over.

"Drive to the urban bus station."

Without asking why, Huang Weichang drove directly to Shanmei Passenger Terminal.
