Chapter 13: Future Development
Liu Jun and General Manager Fan devoured their dinner like a whirlwind, probably because they had been hungry for a long time, not even taking a sip of alcohol.
However, Zeng Yingying in front of them didn’t have such a good appetite.
After General Manager Fan finished introducing the situation at Xinghai while eating, she felt like everything she heard was like a dream.
Temporary secretary position, salary 5000!
This is the salary that most formal employees in professions can have now.
She hasn’t even found a trial opportunity at any enterprise since graduation, let alone 5000.
Not to mention that trial salaries at general enterprises are only at the level of eight hundred to one thousand.
If General Manager Fan had said these things to her alone, she would definitely take him as a liar, even though General Manager Fan has always had a good image at school and doesn’t seem like someone who would lie, but it’s still very unrealistic.
But now sitting next to him is that rich second-generation Liu Jun, so the words from General Manager Fan’s mouth don’t seem like lies anymore.
Back in freshman year, when everyone was just eighteen or nineteen and had just enrolled, Liu Jun was showing off driving a small car every day.
This left her no choice but to believe.
Liu Jun patted his belly and amusingly looked at the girl in front of him whose chopsticks had barely moved.
“What’s up? You don’t believe what our General Manager Fan said?”
“No! No! I…”
Zeng Yingying’s inner thoughts were exposed, her melon seed face flushed red.
“The company is in the industrial park. I’ll send you some information later for you to look at when you get back. To tell you the truth, Xinghai has just started, and we’re short on people now. So I hope you can adapt as soon as possible.”
When it came to business, Liu Jun stopped joking around. General Manager Fan was right; the company now only had the two of them.
General Manager Fan, as the boss of the company, was busy with trivial matters all day long.
As for him, he was dealing with negotiations and dealings with representatives from various enterprises who came knocking all day long.
Without exaggeration, as soon as he stepped out of Ao Mei Electric Power’s door, he was immediately invited away by San Xin Group who was waiting outside.
He had no energy left to take care of the company side.
Looking at General Manager Fan who didn’t seem to be faking it, Zeng Yingying hurriedly nodded. She couldn’t care about whether it was real or not anymore; she knew very well how important this hard-to-come-by position was to her at this moment.
“That’s fine. I’ll finish reading the information tonight, and I can start work tomorrow.”
After General Manager Fan explained some matters she needed to familiarize herself with, the three of them finally got up and walked out.
Before parting, Zeng Yingying couldn’t hold back despite her conflicted expression and still asked.
“Does Xu Min know about this?”
Liu Jun didn’t speak, teasingly looking at General Manager Fan waiting for the answer.
“She doesn’t know?”
General Manager Fan spoke ambiguously, not specifying whether he didn’t know or Xu Min didn’t know, then pulled the watching Liu Jun into a taxi and left.
Zeng Yingying pondered General Manager Fan’s words all the way back to her place, still conflicted.
Pushing open the door, this was the dormitory she shared with Xu Min and Liu Xinyue.
Another roommate Cao Bingqian, because her family conditions were good and she wasn’t in a hurry to find a job, and her home was in Linhai, didn’t continue squeezing in with them.
It was already very late, Xu Min and Liu Xinyue had both returned to their rooms, so she didn’t think of greeting them and quietly started washing up without making noise.
Zeng Yingying’s mind was a bit chaotic; she didn’t know if she should tell Xu Min about General Manager Fan’s matter.
But thinking about it, Xu Min’s job was even arranged by Ma Wei, and plus these days the two of them have been getting quite close.
Even a fool could see that Ma Wei was vigorously pursuing her.
Forget it, better no extra trouble than extra matters; relationships between girls are very complicated.
Putting aside that thought, Zeng Yingying entered her room, turned on the computer, and started reading a bunch of materials about Xinghai that she had just received in her email.
Back at the place, General Manager Fan didn’t rush to rest either and discussed today’s interview list with Liu Jun.
Which people to keep?
Although General Manager Fan had some personal ideas about this question, he still wanted to hear more of Liu Jun’s suggestions.
After all, the other party grew up in a business environment family, so his understanding of personnel matters was much stronger than that of a half-baked guy like him.
After a discussion between the two, they finally settled on about twenty names, and that Tang Lifai was also kept.
Liu Jun then reported to General Manager Fan the general content of his communications with various major companies these days.
In these days of contact, several companies ranking high in the market already had expectations for patent authorization.
Among them, unexpectedly, San Xin Group from South Island Country was the most urgent.
Unlike large multinational groups like Deli, Fengtian Group, and Desuo, San Xin Group is a typical family-style hereditary enterprise.
Relying on their many years of monopoly-style operating experience in South Island Country, San Xin Group’s sensitivity to the market is much more valued than other enterprises.
Don’t look at the current market size of wireless charging being only a mere few hundred billion, but that’s because its power is low, thus limiting many industrial applications.
Once the power increases and the safety issue is solved, the market scale will skyrocket.
And for a new market, the timing of early entry is quite important.
For this reason, in these days’ negotiations.
Under Liu Jun’s persistent striving, the price for patent authorization had already exceeded the three-year five hundred million that General Manager Fan had previously thought.
San Xin boldly proposed to obtain patent authorization at a price of 10 billion for five years, and it could be paid in one lump sum directly.
Exactly doubled!
But with an additional condition, to reach a series of related agreements on technical support with Xinghai.
Upon hearing this, General Manager Fan perceived their intention: this was to prevent Xinghai from holding back something and later thinking of choking them and raising the price.
He had no other thoughts at the moment and nodded, indicating that Liu Jun could decide on his own.
To tell the truth, after having solid-state battery technology, he no longer attached too much importance to Xinghai’s development in wireless charging.
General Manager Fan was more inclined to use limited funds to cultivate a group of capable company backbone personnel.
Anyway, it was agreed with Liu Jun from the beginning that Xinghai only needed a requirement of not being suppressed after entering the market.
After obtaining solid-state battery technology, General Manager Fan’s gaze gradually expanded.
This thing is the real key product that can make Xinghai take off and strengthen itself after setting sail.
Before that, steadily developing the company and cultivating talent is the most important purpose.
The next day, Deli Building general manager’s office.
“Yes, yes, yes, we’re already sending people to communicate. I’m personally in charge! There will be news soon. Rest assured! Rest assured!”
Ma Gaosheng acted as if the district manager on the phone was right in front of him, standing at his desk, nodding and bowing, with a very respectful expression on his face.
After hanging up the phone, his face immediately darkened.
As expected, the company attached great importance to this technology internally.
And from the information revealed by the district manager just now.
San Xin Group had already reached a series of preliminary intentions with Xinghai; if nothing unexpected, the patent authorization contract would be signed soon.
Damn it, if he hadn’t driven Liu Jun away that day, he would definitely be able to rely on being the first to secure the patent authorization merit to gain the company’s reward now.
And also firmly secure the position of person in charge of the Linhai Branch in the foreseeable future.
But thinking of his bad attitude toward Liu Jun a few days ago, Ma Gaosheng couldn’t help but feel troubled.
After thinking for a while, he called Ma Wei.
“No matter where you’re fooling around now, come to my office immediately!”
Roaring lowly and hanging up the phone, he slammed his fat body heavily onto the office chair.
Perhaps stimulated by General Manager Fan’s achievements, Ma Wei was unusually well-behaved today and came to the company to work half a day.
He was sitting bored, just about to slip away, when he received a call from his father full of anger, then frowned and came to the top floor office.
Without knocking, he directly pushed open the office door.
“Dad, what’s up?”
Looking at his son who appeared talented in front of him, Ma Gaosheng pointed to the door behind him signaling to close it.
“I called you here definitely for something. How is your relationship with General Manager Fan now?”
“Dad, him and I…”
Ma Wei was immediately speechless; what relationship could he have with General Manager Fan? It was good enough if they weren’t enemies.
“Hmph, how did I give birth to such a useless thing like you.”
Ma Gaosheng was furious, angrily pointing at his son, finally helplessly putting down his hand.
“The district manager just called, and they expressed their attitude: the patent in Xinghai’s hands is very important to the company. Do you know what this means?”
Finishing in one breath, Ma Gaosheng lit a cigarette on his own, giving his son some time to think.
He knew his son had always had ideas about Xu Min, but things were different now; he hoped his son understood the stakes involved.
Isn’t it just a woman? In front of career, what the hell is that.
