Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 252 Chapter 251 Six people and six hundred million! Sky-high investment in talent introduction!
The headhunting company that was responsible for bringing Lin Zhe together was not exaggerating at all.

These few people are all masters, at least they have made considerable achievements in power engineering and battery modules.

When Lin Zhe arranged for his staff to contact the people from the headhunting company, it was the first time they heard of someone offering a high price to poach these people.

In the past, their headhunting companies were all about recruiting relevant senior managers, or some technical experts in programming, because those people could quickly improve the company's soft power after entering a company.

In other words, those people can bring some profits to the company in the short term, so they will pay a high price to let professional headhunters poach them.

But they have dealt with very few professors and leading figures in the technology industry, let alone poaching so many people at once.

It is true that this type of talent is quite capable, but for a company, it cannot "cash in" on them in the short term. Moreover, not only is it impossible to cash in on them because there will be no technological breakthroughs in the short term, but the most important thing is that the investment in supporting their research is huge.

Scientific research is a money-burning business, so not many companies in China are willing to do this.

Not to mention that they have to bear the consequences of losing all their money due to scientific research failure. Even businessmen who have always been pursuing profits are unwilling to do something where the risks and benefits are not proportional.

But Lin Zhe spoke up, and for this reason, their overseas headhunting company put down their work this year and devoted all their efforts to finding talents for Zhetong Electric Power.

As long as they can complete this order, they will have achieved their annual sales performance.

……

For this purpose, not only all the employees of the headhunting company were mobilized, even the boss began to fly around personally and use his own connections.

Finally, a total of six industry leaders were recruited for Lin Zhe. Internationally, they are all on the national strategic talent introduction list. It cost a lot to get all of them to Binhai this time.

Lin Zhe didn't know how the matter was mediated, but the bill paid to the headhunting company was very clear, a total of 5.6 million RMB, which is almost million US dollars when converted into US dollars.

This is just the cost of introducing talent, and the subsequent investment will naturally not be less.

……

There were many people waiting to be picked up at the terminal, but most people's attention was attracted by Lin Zhe and his group.

Most of the other people came to pick up the airport privately, to pick up relatives or friends, and there were always one or two people coming.

At most, they were just company or tour group receptionists holding up a sign or a small flag, but the aura of Lin Zhe and his group standing here was out of tune with the surroundings.

Lin Zhe was naturally standing at the front in a casual and comfortable outfit, and next to him were his secretary Zhang Yuliang, who was wearing a black suit and a hip skirt, and her secretary assistant.

Because Lin Zhe still attaches great importance to appearance. Although it doesn’t necessarily matter what you do, a pretty face is pleasing to the eye and makes work more comfortable.

What's more, they are assistants who work with her day and night, so when Zhang Yuliang is recruiting people for the president's office, she has to choose the top ones in terms of ability and appearance.

Just these two beauties would attract a lot of attention when they stood here, but now they followed Lin Zhe obediently, with an attitude of serving.

Then behind them there were burly men in suits with miniature earphones. The fierce style emanating from them was enough to keep people away from just one person, not to mention that there were six burly men standing here in total.

There was just a group of people standing here, and others looked at them curiously while making guesses in their hearts.

This is a scene where a big shot comes to pick up his girlfriend or some important person, or maybe it's a big star coming to pick him up at the airport.

……

Standing at the airport gate, Zhang Yuliang couldn't help but ask.

"Boss Lin, do you think it's worth spending so much money to hire six people?"

As Lin Zhe's secretary and the person in charge of the President's Office, Zhang Yuliang naturally knew clearly the expenses of the headhunting company this time. It was nearly 600 million RMB, and there were six people in total, so on average each person cost 100 million RMB.

This seemed a bit too exaggerated to her.

Hearing this question, Lin Zhe chuckled and nodded and gave an answer.

"What's the point of thinking about this? There are only two possible outcomes: one is making a lot of money, and the other is losing a lot of money. Either one is within my acceptable range, so why bother thinking about this and making yourself uncomfortable?"

"We are a group with annual revenue of hundreds of billions. We should be more open-minded. Why do we feel bad about spending money?"

Although Zhang Yuliang was convinced in her heart, she still curled her lips.

Apart from anything else, my boss really doesn't treat money as money. It's not his own money, and he feels bad seeing such a large amount of money being spent on just a few people. But as the one who spends the money, he doesn't feel any pain at all.

We are not afraid that the money will be wasted, but now that it has been spent, we hope that these six people can bring unexpected value to the group.

……

As the people from the headhunting company appeared, Lin Zhe saw the protagonists behind them. Many of them were naturally not young, and they all had families and careers. This time they came with their families.

Lin Zhe also arranged for the headhunting company to make a promise about this matter. As long as they are willing to come to Binhai to work, their families will be properly arranged, and if there are educational needs, their children will be arranged to go to the best schools in Binhai.

Since it was a chartered plane, there were naturally no other outsiders, so Lin Zhe went to greet it without hesitation.

Before coming here, I had already read the information of these people. Although he spoke English haltingly, it did not prevent Lin Zhe from speaking boldly.

In fact, the so-called Chinese spoken language is nothing at all. After all, the "more advanced" London accent is just the strong local accent of men in the working-class areas of London. No one will care about or laugh at it.

The key is communication, and the key is that you have to speak up.

"hello~"

Lin Zhe remembered all the names. Although he seemed to have prosopagnosia when looking at foreigners, fortunately Zhang Yuliang kept reminding him, so Lin Zhe would not make the mistake.

After greeting everyone one by one, the six big guys who came here naturally smiled happily.

Because Zhetong Electric Power offered them the ceiling treatment in the industry, and their boss personally showed up at the airport to pick them up. They really did the job of respecting the wise and humble themselves.

After personally greeting them, Lin Zhe naturally took a group photo with them. This may be a photo worth savoring the impact behind it in the future.

Then Lin Zhe arranged for staff to take them to the hotel, and they would appear at the research center of Zhetong Electric Power the next day.

After these people got into the car and left one by one, Lin Zhe met Tony Li, the head of the overseas headhunting company.

As a mixed-race person, he first identified the key point of overseas headhunting, and quickly expanded from a domestic headhunting company with only four or five people to a professional elite overseas headhunting company with fifty or sixty employees.

After receiving Lin Zhe's order this time, he achieved a year's worth of sales in one go. He also described Lin Zhe's spending as "crazy." "Mr. Lin, you are really the craziest entrepreneur I have ever seen."

Lin Zhe quite likes this evaluation. Madness represents opportunity, doesn’t it?
If we can really come up with some black technology that allows new energy vehicles to run thousands of kilometers at a time, then the next 500 to 600 million yuan investment can only be considered a "drop in the bucket."

"Let's go, I'll take you to have a meal and thank you for your busy time."

"My pleasure, Mr. Lin."

……

The next morning, Lin Zhe appeared outside the research center of the group's Binhai factory, where Wu Huachun and other bigwigs were standing.

In the scientific research community, everyone is relatively pure, especially those who are less good at intrigue and more talented, their worship of technology is even purer.

In an organization with a bad atmosphere, some people may try to "outsmart others". Some may be jealous and even try to trip others up.

But this does not happen under pure institutions.

At least the people under Lin Zhe would not do that. All they have is admiration and a desire to learn.

Early this morning, without Lin Zhe having to make any special arrangements before work hours, everyone gathered downstairs at the research center, waiting for the arrival of the six international bosses.

After Lin Zhe arrived, he could clearly see the excitement on the faces of Wu Huachun and others.

"Hey, Mr. Lin, you have invited some serious bigwigs to our research center this time. They are internationally renowned. Wow, it's not just one or two, but six!"

"Hehe, now I think we can solve some of the difficulties in our research."

"Boss Lin is awesome! With the six big guys coming over, our Zhetong Research Center's research capabilities in battery storage are probably among the best in the world."

"Fight for first place? I think we are first now!"

Seeing a few people who were much older than him joking around here, Lin Zhe also smiled. Don’t be fooled by the fact that these people usually look very serious and meticulous when doing research.

When they encounter something that makes them happy, they all become like children.

When the six big guys arrived, all the staff took a group photo in the lobby on the first floor of the research center.

There are more than 200 scientific researchers in total. In the middle are Wu Huachun and several domestic bigwigs. Next to them are the six new bigwigs. They took this photo together.

After taking the group photo, Wu Huachun personally took these people to the laboratory of the research center to familiarize themselves with the working environment.

As a top scientific research figure, his English level is naturally impeccable. He can read various English materials and discussions, and his communication skills are definitely much better than Lin Zhe.

After seeing the machines in the group's laboratory, these people also showed surprise.

Although the headhunting company had communicated with them about their working environment in advance, I was still shocked when I arrived at the site.

Just the equipment and machines in this laboratory alone, their standards cannot be met in laboratories abroad.

They can also do their best here, and the answer Lin Zhe gave for scientific research funding is "unlimited" within a reasonable range. This is enough for them to work with other colleagues to make a name for themselves here.

Since then, the Zhetong Electric Power Group Research Center has once again reached a new level.

……

As they just discussed, they are one of the best in terms of cutting-edge technology in battery storage.

Of course, its adaptation to the industry, including production, etc., may not be as good as that of companies like CATL that have been specializing in batteries for a long time, but it can already compete with them in terms of top theoretical and technological breakthroughs.

This is also due to the fact that Ningde Times pays more attention to industrialization. To put it bluntly, in the pursuit of profits, it has invested in the research and development of cutting-edge technologies, but not much.

But Lin Zhe is different. He is not short of money and is willing to invest money. Lin Zhe is willing to be a pioneer on this road.

……

On Tuesday, Lin Zhe appeared at the group's Jincheng factory.

Although it is still under construction, the progress is already more than halfway through. The factory buildings and some structures have begun to take shape. In Lin Zhe's opinion, this is a very beautiful factory.

Because of the geographical environment here, there is a magnificent Hengduan Mountains behind us, and the factory is located at the foot of the mountains.

Not long after arriving at the factory, a few small cars led the way, and then a yellow Coaster minibus appeared at the factory gate.

The electric lever was lifted and Coaster drove in directly.

Nong Weiqi was inside, and he was quite looking forward to this trip to the Zhetong Power Plant.

He was mainly looking forward to meeting Lin Zhe. After learning about Lin Zhe's information, he was also very curious. This young man is only in his twenties and not yet thirty, but he has created such a business empire.

The key is that what they do is good for the country and the people, whether it is providing electricity to rural areas or improving service quality.

……

Lin Zhe was standing a little inside the factory gate at this moment. When he saw Coaster stop, he went to greet him.

Nong Weiqi is of such a high rank that no matter how fearless I am of the powerful, I must show due respect to him. Moreover, the goodwill expressed by him will be of great benefit to me.

"Hello, Mr. Nong."

"Hello, Mr. Lin. Wow, you look younger than I thought~ Hehe~"

Nong Weiqi did not mean to say anything polite on this point. Lin Zhe himself looked relatively young. According to Wang Zikai, if Lin Zhe shaved his beard clean, when they returned to the Binhai University of Technology campus together, the younger students who did not know Lin Zhe would probably mistake him for a college classmate.

After greeting with a smile, Nong Weiqi got out of the car and started the tour with Lin Zhe.

The Jincheng plant of Zhetong Electric Power Group is different from other plants. It also refers to some elements of classic northwestern architecture. The scene looks more open and spectacular.

During the visit, Nong Weiqi did not forget to say a few good words for Lin Zhe.

There were a lot of local leaders following him, and after listening to Nong Weiqi's high evaluation of Zhetong Electric Power, they also had an idea in their minds.
