Chapter 140 Recruiting Talents

"What's there to be reluctant about? I will gain more experience outside, and I will definitely earn more money when I come back." Jiang Wanmeng has a long-term vision, which is much better than Gao Jiawang and others.

"It's just not easy to go abroad. First, the procedures are difficult to handle. Second, although I have made some money this year, it is still far from the cost of going abroad, and it is not easy to exchange foreign currency. Third, even if I go abroad, I don't know the situation clearly, and I don't know where I can see advanced technology."

"These problems can actually be solved." Gao Jialin nodded and stopped talking, continuing to drink and chat with them.

When he went to see Jiang Wanmeng alone the next day, he told him his plan, "I can sponsor you to go abroad, and the procedures are easy to handle. I'll find a foreign organization to send you an invitation letter, and it will be much easier for you to apply for a visa with the invitation letter. Since you are interested in electronic technology, go to Japan first, and then go to the United States. When you get there, I'll arrange a guide for you to take you to visit universities, research institutions, and companies."

Jiang Wanmeng was stunned by this pie that fell from the sky. It took him a long time to reply, "Reporter Gao, are you kidding me?"

"No kidding, besides being a journalist, I'm also a writer. I wrote a book that was very popular in Japan and earned a lot of dollars. I also have a lot of connections in Japan. As long as you are willing, I can help you go abroad." Gao Jialin also took out a few newspapers to confirm this.

Jiang Wanmeng is a typical engineering guy at first glance. He has no interest in novels. During dinner last night, he did not talk about Gao Jialin’s previous works at all. So just now Gao Jialin went to the Anhui branch of Xinhua News Agency and dug out these old newspapers.

He took the newspaper and studied it for a long time. When he saw the photo of a huge crowd of people surrounding Gao Jialin in Kinokuniya Bookstore, he finally believed what he said. However, there was still one thing he didn't understand. "Reporter Gao, it costs a lot of money to go out. Why are you helping me?"

"I'm optimistic about you. When the time is right, I plan to take a leave of absence and start a business! Big business, I'm optimistic about the future development of electronic technology, and I plan to set up a factory to produce electronic products myself. You know I'm a liberal arts major, so I don't know much about these things, so I have to find a professional to take charge of the technical aspects. I think you're a good fit."

How could this not be appropriate? Jiang Wanmeng was the inventor of VCD. Wanyan, the company he founded, was the world's first VCD brand. Unfortunately, he only knew the technology and lacked a grasp of commercial operations. As a result, he got up early but arrived late.

The markets developed by Wan Yan were all snatched away by companies such as Aido, Wanlida, and BBK, and the right to speak also fell into the hands of major international brands such as Sony, Philips, JVC, and Panasonic. Jiang Wanmeng disappeared sadly and no one mentioned him again since then.

Now with Gao Jialin, Jiang Wanmeng only needs to focus on researching technology. Gao Jialin will help him with the rest of the things, including funding, patents, channels, and talents. The VCD business alone can lay a solid foundation for this company.

"Are you also optimistic about the development of the electronics industry?" Jiang Wanmeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I believe that the future electronics industry, especially the consumer electronics industry, must be driven by both software and hardware. Domestic companies do not have core technologies yet. At most, they produce some basic accessories, and all core components are imported from abroad. Their understanding of software is pitifully small. If we can find the right field, we will be able to surpass well-known companies such as Changhong and Haier." No one in China knows the development of the electronics industry better than Gao Jialin.

Jiang Wanmeng was impressed. "Your understanding of the electronics industry is even deeper than most people in the industry. If you didn't tell me, I would never believe that you were a liberal arts student."

That is, I appear to be an undergraduate student majoring in Chinese, but in fact I am a PhD in science and engineering from a 985 university. This is just basic common sense to me.

Gao Jialin continued to tell Jiang Wanmeng about his understanding of the electronics industry. Jiang Wanmeng couldn't stop listening, so he simply closed the shop and took Gao Jialin to the teahouse next door to talk in detail.

They chatted all the way until lunch time, when Jiang Wanmeng no longer doubted Gao Jialin's words. "Reporter Gao, I'm grateful that you think highly of me and are willing to give me this opportunity. I will listen to you and close the shop now to go abroad to broaden my horizons."

"Okay, I'll send a telegram right away and ask Japan to send you an invitation letter. Then you prepare everything you need and come to Shanghai and I'll take you to handle the relevant procedures." These are all very simple. Just call Chinatsu Tsuboi and she'll arrange it.

After Jiang Wanmeng completed the formalities, Gao Jialin took Chen Hong to Japan with him. "Dunhuang" was about to hold its premiere, and she, as the leading actress, must appear.

When she arrived in Tokyo, Chinatsu Tsuboi had already contacted Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, JVC, Canon and other companies, and even Nintendo was not spared. Jiang Wanmeng would have to visit and learn from each of these companies for a month, and it would take him more than half a year.

The accommodation problem was also solved for him. Gao Jialin bought some high-end apartments in the minato area, intending to sell them when the housing prices in Tokyo were about to reach their peak, so that he could easily make room for him.

"If you have any problems in the future, just call Ms. Tsuboi. She will come to give you money every month. Just concentrate on studying and visiting." Gao Jialin arranged everything for him.

Chinatsu Tsuboi and Juri Hinata have now achieved financial independence and no longer need to work at Tokuma Shoten. They have now resigned and are responsible for handling all matters related to Gao Jialin in Japan.

Hinata Juri's English is very good, so Gao Jialin plans to let her go to the United States first to prepare for the trip. In this way, after Jiang Wanmeng has learned about the situation in Japan, he can also go to the United States to visit Motorola, Intel, Apple and other companies.

Finally, he went to Europe to study at companies such as Thomson Electronics, Philips, Siemens, and Nokia. After all this tour, Gao Jialin was not far from starting his own business.

In addition to learning technology, Gao Jialin also gave him another task: "During the learning process, if you meet Chinese talents, try to get along well with them. It would be even better if you can bring them to our company in the future."

To this end, he asked Chinatsu Tsuboi to reserve a sum of money for him to use specifically for building personal connections.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After staying in Tokyo for a few days to take care of his own affairs and seeing Jiang Wanmeng excitedly visiting and learning every day, Gao Jialin left with satisfaction.

After returning to China, he wrote an article related to the electronics industry and published it in a high-level internal reference. The Jiaotong University alumnus was an expert and he would definitely be interested after reading it.

Then he packed his bags and set off again. Jiang Wanmeng alone was far from enough, so he had to continue recruiting talented people.
