Chapter 619 Chief Scientist
Chen Xinsheng arrived in Jianye by plane in the afternoon and reported to Zhang Ke on his journey to Southeast Asia to Zhang Ke in the office of the Oak Park Program Preparation Office. He recommended the chief scientist of the Microelectronics Basic Technology Laboratory. This time he came from Singapore to meet with Zhang Ke and other members of the major project department. He is Tan Yunsong, chief scientist of the Xinbang Joint Laboratory jointly established by RB Fujitsu Group and the National University of Singapore. He is an overseas Chinese. He will end his five-year term at Xinbang Joint Laboratory in mid-October.
In 1997, the term chief technician was still quite unfamiliar with the term chief technician. The key laboratories in the Oak Park plan will be specifically responsible for the operation of the laboratory, including formulating project research plans, implementing plans, organizing research teams, hiring chief engineers, grasping research directions and priorities, etc., and will also be responsible for providing academic consultation and advice in the field of microelectronics technology to senior management of Kumho. Their work is directly reported to the Aida Group's major project department.
Zhang Ke's life is getting more and more leisurely. In the eyes of Chen Xinsheng and others, the chief scientist should report his work directly to Zhang Ke; just like Cheng Hanzhang, who is currently in charge of the ESS experimental base in Silicon Valley, USA, has also assumed the responsibilities of the chief scientist in fact, but at present, ESS is particularly important to Kumho.
There is no specific statistics on the salary level of engineering and technical personnel in China. The treatment of middle and senior engineering and technical personnel in the Kumho system is still only one-fifth to one-sixth of that of the United States, and the average domestic level is only one-thirty of that of the United States.
The human resource cost alone is limited to the United States' ESS experimental bases and cannot be expanded without restrictions. Many important R&D work must be transferred to China one after another, and increasing the construction of domestic laboratories is also a necessary choice.
"Then we'll have a meal together," he heard Chen Xinsheng describe his experience in Southeast Asia. After so long, Zhang Ke felt that his neck was sore when he sat there. He stretched and asked Chen Xinsheng to invite Tan Yunsong to have dinner together. He also knew that a candidate like the chief scientist would rather be insignificant than to be abusive. "But I can't count it, and in the end, I'll have to leave it to the big project department to decide..."
Zhang Ke is now pushing everything to the major project department. The meaning of establishing a major project department is to remove the responsibilities on his shoulders.
"Or go to the staff cafeteria at Dongda University?" Chen Xinsheng asked.
"Uh," Zhang Ke was stunned. Seeing the joking meaning hidden in Chen Xinsheng's eyes, he laughed, "The guests came from afar, a little more solemn. If you were the only ones traveling around, the food in our school's staff canteen would be good..."
During the time when Chen Xinsheng reported to Zhang Ke, he arranged for Zhao Peng to lead Tan Yunsong and his family to visit the current under-construction project of the Oak Garden. Before leaving, he also brought Zhao Zilin from the venture capital center. They met with Tan Yunsong at the entrance of Xuefu Lane and went to the Hilton Hotel to have a meal together.
The formal name is to invite Tan Yunsong and his family to travel to the mainland, and to have work contact during the trip.
Tan Yunsong is not tall, and looks like a middle-aged man of 45 or 46 years old. His wife Wu Wenxi was a student when he was teaching at the National University of Singapore. She was a beauty in her early thirties. Tan Yunsong went to the National University of Singapore to teach until Wu Wenxi was single when he entered school. In their own words, the two of them hooked up very early and did not officially merge until Wu Wenxi finished her doctorate. She has no children yet.
For Zhang Ke, this is a good deal of buying one and getting one free; Zhang Ke's eyes are shining when he sees the title of doctoral.
Tan Yunsong is a very talkative person. In addition to revealing trivial things in life, he talks more about his understanding of the future development of microelectronics technology. Fortunately, his wife, Zhao Zilin, Zhao Peng and others here are all industry insiders, and the conversation will not be boring. On the contrary, Zhang Ke has the weakest understanding of related technologies. However, he knows the general trend of consumer electronics development in the next ten years. Tan Yunsong can frequently talk about the ideas, and almost recognizes his academic ability.
It has to be admitted that it is not incredible that top talents in this field can see the development trend of consumer electronics in the next ten years.
"I will finally ask Professor Tan if I have any good suggestions in the construction of a microelectronics technology laboratory?" Zhang Ke asked Tan Yunsong at the end of the dinner.
Tan Yunsong never expected that there would be companies in the mainland who would have such great courage to invest in basic laboratories in the microelectronics field. Even if they specialize in one item, it would be difficult to achieve results without a billion or eight billion investment. Chen Xinsheng is very famous in the industry. Even when Chen Xinsheng sent him an email to talk about this matter, he also believed that the establishment of basic laboratories of microelectronics was just a gimmick of the company's vision, but he has been paying attention to domestic reports on the Oak Garden Tree Plan. When he saw that the Oak Garden Plan became more and more like that, he was naturally moved.
The rapid development of the mainland also made him excited to return to China to develop. After all, relatives and friends, parents who are almost 70 years old, are all in China. He doesn't want to miss the opportunity to return to China to work.
Previously, Chen Xinsheng contacted Singapore via email and then formally met with Ye Zhenmin. He was able to apply for a visa through the Embassy in Singapore, which further proved the support of the Oak Garden program in China.
"... The most important thing for domestic laboratories is to accelerate the training of technical personnel. Kumho is working closely with Dongda University. Can we introduce a dual tutor system experimentally? The laboratory in the Oak Park program will make full use of the talent resources of universities in this area and hire masters and doctoral students to participate in the laboratory's work, which can greatly reduce human resources costs. Introducing the dual tutor system, in addition to the tutor provided by the school to the graduate student, the laboratory also arranges a tutor to be responsible for the growth of the graduate student in the laboratory..."
In 1997, it was not very common for tutors to use graduate students to work hard for their projects. At this time, there would be no big resistance to experimentally implementing the dual-tutor system.
Another great advantage of implementing the dual tutor system is that it can maximize the ability to train talents through laboratories in your own hands. Since the graduate school stage, it has been trained by the Oak Garden Program and integrated into the atmosphere of the Oak Garden Program. There is no special reason, and it is hard to imagine that these talents will take the initiative to choose other employment channels after graduation.
Zhang Ke nodded, kicked the ball to Chen Xinsheng, and said, "Is it feasible? You still have to make a collective idea."
Seeing that Zhang Ke asked Tan Yunsong for the construction of the laboratory, Chen Xinsheng knew that Tan Yunsong had been recognized by Zhang Ke. Although Zhang Ke wanted to kick the ball to the major project department, his authority in Kumho was not developed in one or two days. It is hard to imagine that the candidates recognized by Zhang Ke would be rejected by others.
He sent Tan Yunsong back to the hotel to rest, but Chen Xinsheng still lived in the collective dormitory of the second move of Master's Scholar with everyone.
Zhou You's family was in Jianye, but after the completion of Haiyu International Private School, he threw his son in. The family officially settled in Haizhou and returned to Jianye's home alone. Especially now Zhang Ke wants to send him to contact Guo Group in Malaysia to negotiate the acquisition of Yunyuan Paper's equity. There are many things that he has to communicate with Chen Xinsheng, so he naturally follows the second move to move into the Normal School.
In the car, Zhang Ke said to Chen Xinsheng: "I'll ask Tan Yunsong and his wife to Haizhou for fun these two days. Su Jindong is in a state of great difficulty. Please help me comfort him. Some things are too anxious, and I can't come. I support his decision..."
Ida's first mobile phone was originally decided to be officially launched today, but the first batch of finished products was delayed by 4 or 5 seconds compared to the design due to the improper selection of inconspicuous chips. This can only be regarded as a very inconspicuous obstacle. Su Jindong asked all chips to be replaced and the product release time was delayed.
Lianxin launched their first mobile phone as early as June 28. Lianxun, Dongxing, was a little slower, but it was not late for July. Ida would have to delay it until October, so there would naturally be some different sounds inside Kumho.
Zhang Ke still has this awareness. At this time, there is no need for Jinho to rush in and grab money. Establishing a brand is extremely difficult, but it is a matter of instant collapse. In particular, domestic mobile phones and other consumer electronic products will become famous in the next few years because of the extremely irresponsible money grabbing behavior of other domestic manufacturers. How can Jinho be unique and how to get rid of the negative impacts brought by other manufacturers? This itself is a problem that makes Zhang Ke extremely troubled.
Why support Xinyuan Electric Appliances and why force Kewang to improve his technical level? If we can form a positive consumer electronics industry group in Haizhou and Donghai Province, it will at least offset the negative impacts brought by other manufacturers to a greater extent.
In this regard, I am afraid that caution is not enough. When the technology still provides sufficient guarantees, Zhang Ke can only ask Jinhu to allocate a larger proportion of its revenue to establish a complete after-sales service and maintenance system to weaken the impact of product quality problems on the positive image of the company and the brand.
