Chapter 1348 After I leave, there can be no flood

The two Black King Kongs modified by Huateng Group gave great confidence to Cheetah Automobile and relevant competent departments of Hunan Province. In the next few days, the two sides quickly completed the negotiations on the last few differences. Next, it is the process time for the two companies and the competent departments. After all the procedures are completed, the two sides only need to find an auspicious day to sign the agreement.

The anxious Cheetah Motors has even started pre-promotion and released information about the "Black King Kong-II" in the media.

It was also at this time that Gu Mingjun called Zhang Qihang's cell phone...

Zhang Qihang was a little surprised when he received Gu Mingjun's call, but he still smiled and said, "What instructions does Mr. Gu have?"

"Haha... I don't dare to instruct you, Mr. Zhang," Gu Mingjun said with a smile, "This is what happened. I heard that your group is willing to sell hybrid technology to external parties?"

"Yes, we can sell it, but we are only selling the first generation of extended-range hybrid technology," Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "Why? Mr. Gu is also interested in our hybrid technology?"

They are all smart people. Gu Mingjun also understood that Zhang Qihang must have guessed the purpose of his call, and said bluntly: "I am indeed interested. I have talked with some leaders of the group headquarters about your group's hybrid Excelle. Some leaders also said that it would be great if this system could be installed on our Bestune B70. But as you know, Mr. Zhang, our group has no experience in developing hybrid systems, so..."

It turned out to be like this...

Zhang Qihang understood, and he immediately said: "If Big Brother's production capacity is temporarily limited, we can also help with OEM and do vehicle adaptation, or even special customization."

"Haha...thank you very much," Gu Mingjun was very satisfied with Zhang Qihang's answer and nodded with a smile: "By the way, Mr. Zhang, there is one more thing I want to consult."

"You're welcome, please."

"Without considering factors such as brand and patents, from the perspective of pure technical implementation, do you think it is difficult to transplant the hybrid system on the Excelle to our Corolla?"

After hearing Gu Mingjun's question, Zhang Qihang suddenly had an absurd thought in his mind: No way? In addition to wanting to move our hybrid system to the Pentium B70, Big Brother is also planning to move this hybrid system to the Toyota Corolla?

  What's the difference between doing this and slapping the oil-stealing otter in the face?

Wouldn’t the oil-stealing otter go crazy?

I always feel that this is impossible, but then I think about Gu Mingjun's question...

  Forget it, forget it, I can’t think about it any further. The more I think about it, the scarier it gets!

Retracting his thoughts, Zhang Qihang said to Gu Mingjun: "If you don't consider other factors, just from a technical point of view, this is a very simple thing. It can be said that there is no difficulty at all."

"Okay, I feel relieved with what you said, Mr. Zhang," Gu Mingjun's reaction was very calm, as if he was just asking casually. He then said, "Thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Zhang. I will report this matter to the leader right away. It won't be long before the group arranges a team to come to you to discuss specific cooperation matters. Please give us more convenience, Mr. Zhang."

"Of course," Zhang Qihang replied, "It's all for the better development of our automobile industry."

"indeed."

........................

  Even after Gu Mingjun hung up the phone, Zhang Qihang still hadn't reacted: What did Big Brother mean? What was the purpose of Gu Mingjun calling him?

Just as Zhang Qihang was frowning and thinking about the twists and turns behind this matter, the pager rang, and the secretary said in the pager: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ni is here."

Hearing the secretary say that Mr. Ni had arrived, Zhang Qihang quickly sorted out his thoughts and said happily, "Please invite Mr. Ni in."

  Yesterday, Mr. Ni called him and said that he had something important to discuss with him. Zhang Qihang was quite curious. Mr. Ni was so serious about this. What was he planning to discuss with him?

When the secretary helped to open the door, Zhang Qihang was almost at the door.

Everyone is very busy. Although Zhang Qihang and Mr. Ni often contact each other on the phone and communicate about work matters, they have not seen each other for two or three months. Now Zhang Qihang is very happy to see Mr. Ni again: Mr. Ni is still as thin, but still as energetic.

After taking a few quick steps, Zhang Qihang hugged Mr. Ni and said, "Grandpa, you look more energetic."

“Haha…” Mr. Ni laughed: “Now I eat well, rest well, and work smoothly. Isn’t it more energetic?”

"Seeing you look so energetic, I feel relieved..."

The two of them joked for a few words, and the secretary had already made the tea and placed it on the coffee table. He then bowed and left, closing the door.

No matter whether it was Zhang Qihang or Mr. Ni, their daily schedules were full and they didn't have much time for small talk. So after the secretary closed the door and the two of them exchanged a few simple greetings, Mr. Ni said to Zhang Qihang in a serious tone: "Mr. Zhang, I came here this time to discuss the integrated circuit design and development center with you." Zhang Qihang's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "Did something happen at the design and development center?"

"No, you can rest assured about this," Ni Lao first gave Zhang Qihang a reassurance, and then continued: "This is what happened. During this period of time, I found that the existing structure and management model of the design and R&D center are increasingly not conducive to the long-term development of the center.

  During this period of time, I have been thinking about whether to separate the R&D center and operate it independently?

Now, I want to hear your opinion.”

Having said this, Mr. Ni looked at Zhang Qihang with burning eyes.

Zhang Qihang did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

To be honest, although the integrated circuit design and research and development center contributes a lot of profits to Huateng Group every year and is already one of the group's profit pillars, its position within Huateng Industrial Group is somewhat embarrassing. Not to mention compared with the automobile industry group, it is still inferior to the motorcycle industry group and is roughly equivalent to the automobile design and research and development center.

Previously, the integrated circuit design and R&D center had been developing very well, and Zhang Qihang had not paid much attention to these things. But now, after hearing what Mr. Ni said, Zhang Qihang thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Do you mean to upgrade the integrated circuit design and R&D center to a higher level, or make it an independently operated subsidiary with its own profits and losses?"

"It's probably a bit difficult to be self-sufficient," Ni explained with a wry smile as he met Zhang Qihang's gaze. "Although the center has been making money at this stage, as research and development continues, investment will inevitably increase. No one can guarantee that one day in the future the center will still need a transfusion from the parent company."

Zhang Qihang understood: "You mean, the center will become an independent company, and then allow other companies to invest in it, and allow the company to go public when the time is right?"

"What do you think?"

Mr. Ni asked in return, but his meaning was already very clear.

Zhang Qihang pondered: Why did Mr. Ni suddenly come up with such an idea? The center was obviously developing very well and making considerable profits, but Mr. Ni's behavior seemed like he was worried about something.

  So, what is the old man worried about?

To be honest, Zhang Qihang never regarded the IC Design R&D Center as his "private property". At the same time, he believed in Mr. Ni's character and believed that Mr. Ni's suggestion was definitely for the IC Design R&D Center. He should understand that the existing management structure is the best for the center, unless...

  A thought suddenly flashed through my mind!

Zhang Qihang realized what Mr. Ni was worried about. He took a deep breath and asked Mr. Ni tentatively, "Are you worried that the government will end after the death of the leader?"

Mr. Ni smiled bitterly.

Zhang Qihang guessed what he was thinking. The old man was not surprised at all. This child was such a smart person. It was normal for him to guess what he was thinking and what he was worried about.

"Yes," nodded with a wry smile, and said, "Qihang, I have heard about the attitude of the leaders. If you can stay in Huateng Group, then I naturally have nothing to worry about. But since you will leave Huateng Group one day in the future, and this day is not too far away, then I have to think more about it.

The center is the hard work of both of us, and it is also the biggest obsession of my later life. I don’t want someone who doesn’t know what he is to come and mess things up after you leave. Instead of that, it’s better to make the center independent..."

"..."

Zhang Qihang fell silent. He had to admit that what Mr. Ni said was right and his worries were very justified.

That's right, when he was still the general manager of Huateng Industrial Group, he could naturally give the greatest support and help to the Integrated Circuit Design and R&D Center. But Huateng Group was a G-enterprise after all, and he would have to leave eventually. Before that, his biggest wish was to help Huateng Group establish a mechanism that would operate well after he left. The old man was worried that after he left, there would be fluctuations that could have a drastic impact on the Integrated Circuit Design and R&D Center, so he was also preparing to make arrangements in advance. In essence, what he did was no different from what he did.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qihang took a deep breath and said, "If a company's management system cannot score 90 points, then in order to ensure safety, 80 points is appropriate, right?"

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Mr. Ni smiled and said, "Yes, that's what I think."

"Then let's make the adjustments according to your wishes," Zhang Qihang, who had completed the psychological preparation in a very short time, nodded and said, "The little bird has grown up and will eventually leave the nest. You are doing the right thing."
