With the cost figure in mind, Xing Baohua had a clear idea of the amount.
Once the power-saving department releases its detailed plan, Xing Baohua can then use the documents to apply for a loan from one of the four major banks.
This time, I don't want to touch my own profits; I need to keep several hundred million as working capital.
Construction is happening too fast now, money is being spent like water flowing away. No, it's like a waterfall, billions of dollars can't withstand his reckless spending.
They gave the provincial power company a major project, and in return, they received a benefit: whenever the lithography plant needed electricity, they would submit a report, and the provincial power company would allocate power from nearby power plants to Xing Baohua for a specified duration.
The province has built countless power plants, large and small, and has provided blueprints and templates that can be easily modified and applied.
Of course, the drawings should be modified according to the soil conditions, and measurements should be taken.
Xing Baohua didn't drink much at this gathering. After finalizing all the details, he went back to the hotel to rest.
Just wait for the power-saving project to complete with the blueprints and contract. As for the project by Jinan No. 1 Construction Company, we also need to wait for the blueprints to be ready.
The next day, we visited two attractions with the foreign employees before heading home.
Upon arriving in central Shandong, Xing Baohua held another welcome party for them.
He personally led the foreign employees to experience their office and living areas. As for accommodation, he left it to Director Xue and Director Liu to arrange.
During the visit to the cafeteria, Xing Baohua asked, "Are there any IC chip designers here?" Instantly, more than a dozen people raised their hands.
Xing Baohua said with a smile, "Here's a little test for you. Whether you use an existing microcontroller or design your own, spend a few days or a week creating an IC dining card system and access control system."
This thing is actually not difficult to make; many high-end companies in the United States use IC access cards.
The most crucial aspect is the underlying program design.
The process of setting up a dining IC is also simple; as long as a read/write program system can be designed, it can be done.
The amount written to the card is the amount deducted from the bill after the meal.
Xing Baohua could make it himself. Isn't this just using a small thing to test the experts he paid to hire?
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so people all smiled. It was as if they were saying, "That's too easy."
It's very simple, but its potential to make money is also very large.
If this practice is implemented, university cafeterias will save on paper meal tickets.
You just need to top up your account every month.
Government agencies, factory canteens, and public transportation systems, etc.
One of the foreign employees raised his hand and asked, "Sir, would you like to use the magnetic card mode or the infrared mode?"
Xing Baohua had never seen a card in infrared mode before, but he knew from a moment's thought that it wasn't a card, but a cigarette box? Infrared mode requires electricity.
Even if it's powered by a button battery, the thickness is still there.
“There are two modes. Each IC card needs to have a chip and a magnetic stripe. If the magnetic stripe is damaged, the chip card mode can be used,” Xing Baohua said, holding up two fingers.
“Boss, both of these modes are easy to copy data from. I can copy data in three ways. Do I need to encrypt it?” a tall, blond foreign employee said.
“Okay! As long as I can’t crack your encrypted system, I’ll reward you with ten thousand US dollars. Hmm, I have 15 ways to crack digital encryption?” Xing Baohua said with a smile, which was essentially a bet with his employee.
“While you’re getting used to the environment, you can also participate in this. I’ll put up $50,000. If I can’t crack it, everyone who participates will get a share of that $50,000,” Xing Baohua said loudly to the other employees.
Foreign employees applauded Xing Baohua, a small test that showed Xing Baohua's approachability to his employees.
At least they don't seem pretentious.
Many of these foreign employees are university graduates, including some with master's and doctoral degrees. They come to work in mainland China primarily because of the higher salaries.
There are just too few American employees, so the good ones won't come, and even if they do, they might not stay.
The only regret is that Professor Li, the female academician, did not come with the team this time, and will have to wait for a while.
Xing Baohua had already prepared a small villa, a car, and a nanny for her. She was being treated with the utmost luxury.
Xing Baohua had just finished having a buffet with the foreign employees when she received a call from Director Xu in her department.
"I heard you hired a group of foreign employees?" Xu Si asked as Xing Baohua answered the phone.
"Yes! What's wrong?"
"Why wasn't this reported?" Xu Si asked directly.
“I run a local business, and I have to ask my employees to report on everything! I don’t find it annoying, but don’t you, boss, find it annoying?” Xing Baohua said impatiently.
Fortunately, it was a private enterprise; otherwise, just the work reports alone would have been enough to give Xing Baohua a hard time. Although he had anticipated this and asked the veterans from the machinery factory to handle these matters, before they even started working, the questioning tone had already arrived.
“You must report this matter from now on. Don’t you know how many of your research and development projects are classified? If they are leaked, it will be a big problem. Just wait! The foreign affairs department will make a record of this. Also, you need to strengthen the protection of classified information.”
Xing Baohua cursed several times in her mind.
Is it really necessary to be like this? It's a private enterprise that produces civilian products. The only thing they need to keep secret is their advanced civilian technology!
Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over producing a broken telephone?
After hanging up the phone, Xing Baohua was in a bad mood. Perhaps it was due to the national circumstances and environment.
The next day, Xing Baohua, Yang Jing, and the head of the HK HR department met for a short meeting.
Establish files for foreign employees and assign them to several research and development positions based on their academic fields.
This number is definitely not enough; we need to continue attracting talent through the Hong Kong-based Haina Company. Such a large laboratory building can't accommodate fewer than five or six hundred people.
