Chapter 476 Invitation from Siemens
After listening to Tang Yu's words, Li Jiacheng and others were silent for a long time. They were savoring Tang Yu's words carefully. And Li Jiacheng has made progress to whether to find a group of people to specialize in this industry at Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology. After all, this is a good gimmick! If it is used on the current Baijia, it will also cause a sensation in Xiangjiang! After listening to Tang Yu's description, Li Jiacheng even thought about whether he was going to start doing these things.
"Xiao Yu, what you said makes a lot of sense. But the main question is where should we start?! We are not familiar with these!" Li Jiacheng said with emotion: "It's easy to say, but how to start is the biggest problem..."
Hearing Li Jiacheng's words, Tang Yu smiled and looked at him and said an institution: "Xiangjiang Government Laboratory." Li Jiacheng couldn't help but brighten up when he heard Tang Yu's words! How can you forget the extremely authoritative institution of Xiangjiang when you pat yourself on the head!
The Xiangjiang Government Laboratory is an institution directly subordinate to the Xiangjiang Government and the highest inspection institution of the government. It is similar to the mainland's institution that combines the physical and chemical testing parts of all inspection institutions such as forensics, technical supervision, environmental protection, drug inspection, commodity inspection, entry-exit inspection and quarantine, disease control, etc. The person in charge is called a government laboratory. You must make an appointment in advance to visit him.
The chief executive of Xiangjiang holds a reception and other large-scale activities, and government laboratory technologists are invited to participate. If Xiangjiang is compared to a province in the mainland, the government laboratory is at least a department-level unit. They are civil servants and have no administrative positions or technical titles. The leader is called a government Chemist. The following is an assistant government Chemist, followed by the chief Chemist, followed by Senior Chemist, Chemist, First-Class Technician, Second-Class Technician, Other Workers, etc. The management adopts a step-by-step management system, and the technician should If you want to have a bachelor's degree or above, a laboratory technologist requires a master's degree or above (but until now, you basically have a doctorate or above).
The meaning of the job title of a civil servant in Xiangjiang is obvious. Basically, as soon as you say the job title of a certain person, you basically know the position, salary level, whether he is a regular employee or a recruitment... So what their unit calls a director is a recruitment of non-regular employee, and the salary is equivalent to that of a laboratory technologist.
The status of people in government laboratories has always been very high, and even the people of the Food and Environmental Services Department belonging to their superior institutions after the return of later generations are very polite to them. All food and environmental complaints in Xiangjiang are accepted by the Food and Environmental Administration. After communicating with the laboratory and measuring the project, they are handed over to the government laboratory for testing. The government laboratory does not receive complaints from other individuals and units. The test results can be used as evidence of prosecution and claims by the relevant units. Therefore, the laboratory is often used as The witness came to the court to testify.
Complaint samples are sent to the government laboratory by the inspectors of various departments or subordinate departments of the Food and Environment Department every day (4 p.m.), and the laboratory will collect samples at the reception desk at a fixed time every day. These inspectors are usually very angry. They basically arrive here in advance and wait in line at the designated reception place to hand over the samples. At that time, the Chemist has a business attitude. The inspector must take off his hat, actively cooperate with the Chemist's request, provide personal documents, and receive inquiries from the Chemist. This situation is almost impossible to see in the mainland. The Food and Environmental Services Department and the Government Laboratory are institutions of the same level, and they are law enforcement agencies, almost similar. The relationship between the health supervision institute and the CDC in the mainland, but when did the supervision institute put the CDC in sight?!
Hearing Tang Yu mention this institution, Li Jiacheng immediately knew Tang Yu's plan. The Xiangjiang Government Laboratory was established as early as 1913. For so many years, I don't know how many retired government calcists, assistant government calcists, chief Chemists and senior Chemists. Inspectors, first-class technicians, second-class technicians, etc. spread Xiangjiang. As long as they invite their first batch of food safety technicians, won't they have them?!
However, Xiangjiang has always implemented a high-paying and clean strategy. Civil servants have good treatment and high benefits, and the number of people who want to take the civil service examination is fierce. Moreover, although there is no death penalty in Xiangjiang's law, it is almost difficult to integrate into Xiangjiang society once a record is left. And the establishment of the ICAC also made all government agencies hang a sharp sword on their heads, trembling and did not know when it would fall down.
Therefore, it is really difficult to poach the government research institute. After going through the information about the government research institute, Li Jiacheng said to Tang Yu with a wry smile, "Xiaoyu, although your idea is good, it is too expensive to implement! And compared with those researchers at Xiangjiang Government Research Institute, they may not be attractive..."
What Li Jiacheng said is also a difficult problem, but it is not difficult for Tang Yu. He had already considered this problem, so he smiled and said to Li Jiacheng, "Don't forget that in addition to this port, there is an extremely authoritative institution in operation! FDA of the United States!"
Hearing Tang Yu's words, Li Jiacheng couldn't help but say doubtfully, "Xiao Yu, you mean..." Tang Yu explained with a smile, "FDA also has retirees, and most of them are people who have been engaged in food and drug supervision and management for more than 30 or 40 years. I don't think anyone knows what to do better than them. If we can invite three or five such experts, are we afraid that the elites of the government research institute will not come?!"
"And we don't have to dig their corners and cooperate. Let them send some personnel to Baijia and train our own inspectors. I believe this is what they are willing to do. After all, it can greatly reduce their workload.
Li Jiacheng was stunned when he heard Tang Yu's words, and then laughed! Lianlian pointed to Tang Yu and said, "You boy! It's really clever! Only you can think of these ideas. It seems that we really need to have a good talk with the people of the government research institute. I believe that they are also willing to support us to establish our own inspection center. After all, this can indeed greatly reduce their workload and communicate with each other.
Seeing Li Jiacheng say this, Tang Yu smiled happily, and then asked, "Lieber, are we going to meet the Ke Cilei of Philips now?" Hearing Tang Yu's words, Li Jiacheng did not nod immediately, but still looked at him with a smile. Tang Yu was puzzled. After a while, Song Wanru smiled and explained to Tang Yu, "Before you came back, we explored the words of Ke Cilei. He had no intention to take out a patent to exchange with us. Therefore, considering the problems of future development, we decided to find several other companies as partners.
Hearing Song Wanru's words, Tang Yu nodded. Indeed, he has mostly focused on the projects of Baijia and Blackwater International during this period, because the good progress of the domestic VCD project also made him not pay much attention to this authorization. He even thought that if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter if he doesn't authorize it. At worst, just give it to Sony and stipulate that they can't sell it in Asia!
"And we later contacted Siemens, and they were also very interested in getting the authorization of VCD. After all, the sales of VCD have attracted their attention now, and their people have also come to talk to us. It seems that there is a part of the authorization that can be given to us. Song Wanru said to Tang Yu with a smile, and Tang Yu couldn't help but brighten up when he heard Song Wanru's words! Of course, it would be better if it were Siemens. The strength of this company is not much weaker than that of Lipu. On the contrary, Siemens seems to be slightly better than Philips in terms of electronic instruments.
The reason why Siemens is very interested in the VCD project is that they also have a huge home appliance industry. In 1967, Siemens Co., Ltd. and Robert Bosch Co., Ltd. established Bosch Home Appliances Company (BSH), a joint venture that mainly produces white household appliances. Until now, this company has He has become a leader in the home appliance market in Germany and Western Europe. The emergence of the VCD project has attracted their attention, and later the sales situation in the market was also returned to Siemens headquarters by Siemens staff in the mainland.
You should know that Siemens now has a solid position in China - it is one of the first Western companies to enter the country at the beginning of China's opening up in the 1980s. Therefore, if they focus on VCD, they can easily get news about VCD and study it.
But Philips is not weak. After the reform and opening up of the mainland, Philips became one of the first foreign enterprises to enter the mainland. In 1985, Philips established its first joint venture in the mainland. Since then, the five major business departments have entered the mainland one after another, and there has been no shortage of links in the complete value chain from research and development, production to sales and service.
But Philips is a European enterprise after all. Regarding the core special research and development of military purposes, they have not been placed in the mainland and cannot be placed in the mainland. Moreover, in the middle and late period, they also constantly waved patent sticks to extort patents from enterprises on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, which caused the senior officials in the capital to have no love for the company.
Relatively speaking, Siemens is better. At least in later generations, Siemens in the fields of nuclear power, gas turbines, high-speed railways, hydropower, transmission and distribution, magnetic levitation, steel and information in the mainland have become one of the extremely important equipment suppliers in the mainland. And John, the German who protected 250,000 people in the Nanjing incident during World War II. Rabe is a Siemens employee, which also makes many mainlanders have a natural good impression of Siemens.
"Siemens?! If it's them, that's not bad~" Tang Yu thought for a moment and said to Li Jiacheng. After all, Siemens' patents and technology are top-notch. And there are also a lot of home appliance industries supported in China. The little swan of later generations is one of Siemens' works.
"Then who is negotiating with us this time?" Tang Yu then asked. Seeing that Tang Yu did not object, Li Jiacheng smiled and said, "It's Gall, the deputy director of Southeast Asia of Siemens International Sales Department. He has now arrived in Xiangjiang and has met them. He seems to want to propose a joint venture to cooperate with us in the production of refrigerators and washing machines.
