Reborn since 1993

Chapter 643: Be careful when sailing the ship of ten thousand years

Zhang Bing knew that Chen Tao was speaking well of him in front of Li Dongling, but Chen Tao could say it, but Zhang Bing couldn't pretend to be cool in front of Li Dongling.

There are geniuses emerging in Hanxi Jiaotong University every year, and Zhang Bing was once one of them. When he left China, Zhang Bing was full of energy and wanted to do something great.

As a result, after so many events, it cannot be said that Zhang Bing did not do well abroad. The salary of Xerox engineers is still quite good. Even in America, it is considered a middle-class family income.

But that’s all. Compared with those people who go overseas to make a living by washing dishes, Zhang Bing, who works as an engineer at Xerox, is already a winner in life.

But I am afraid of the comparison. Compared with the current Chen Tao, Zhang Bing can only be regarded as "mediocre". The projects he participated in at Xerox cannot be signed with his name at all.

To put it bluntly, he was just an insignificant screw among the many engineers at Xerox. It was true that his skills were outstanding, but so what? In American companies, Chinese people could only sit in the position of engineers, and management could forget about it!

As for Chen Tao, although he debuted many years later than Zhang Bing, he is now much more famous than Zhang Bing. Even in the American technology industry, as long as Chen Tao is mentioned, people will know that Chen Tao is the "Chief Technology Officer" of Dongling Hi-Tech.

In China, Chen Tao is a representative of top technical experts, and his net worth is far higher than that of Zhang Bing, who has been in America for so many years.

The rise of Internet forums has enabled Zhang Bing to contact his old classmates from Wuhan Jiaotong University in China more frequently.

Among these contacts, the names of Dongling Hi-Tech and Chen Tao appear most frequently. Chen Tao has become a representative of the technical school among graduates of Hanxi Jiaotong University, and is also the ceiling of domestic technology practitioners!

Looking at Chen Tao's current reputation, and thinking of the title of genius he once had at Hanxi Jiaotong University, as well as his current days at Xerox, it would be sheer nonsense to say that he has no resentment at all.

Zhang Bing is just approaching 40 years old this year, which is the time when technical researchers are most likely to produce results. How could he not want to achieve something?
Zhang Bing basically had no chance at Xerox. Other technology companies in America would accept him, but entrusting him with important tasks and allowing him to enter the management level was pure wishful thinking.

Zhang Bing has been in America for so many years that he has long understood the invisible but real identity barriers. He has seen with his own eyes that many Indians who are not as skilled as him have climbed to management positions by just talking. He now understands where the ceiling for Chinese in the American workplace is.

This year, after careful consideration, Zhang Bing finally returned to Hanxi with his family and joined Dongling Hi-Tech.

It is very easy for people from Hanxi Jiaotong University, especially those who used to study radio at Hanxi, to join Dongling Hi-Tech.

Dongling Hi-Tech's technical department did not have any special requirements when recruiting staff, but most of the technical department's bosses and senior executives were from Hanxi Jiaotong University. It is an indisputable fact that the Hanxi Jiaotong University faction is the largest faction in Dongling Hi-Tech.

Therefore, it was not difficult for Zhang Bing to join Dongling Hi-Tech after returning to China. After working in the technical department for half a year, Zhang Bing was appointed by Chen Tao as the head of the Innovation Laboratory based on its recent achievements.

"Are you used to coming back Hanxi?"

Li Dongling nodded to Zhang Bing, and everyone walked inside.

Dongling High-Tech's technical department, including Feiyan Technology and Doxin Semiconductor, has many people who have returned from overseas, and even foreign R&D personnel.

At present, and even for a long time, it is an indisputable fact that the level of R&D and talent training abroad is better than that in China. The main reason is that the universities and research institutes in America and old Europe have more sufficient R&D funds than in China, and the level of talent training is definitely stronger than that in China.

Similarly, as the country's investment in higher education and R&D continues to increase, overseas R&D personnel and technical experts will flock to the country. People are like water, they will keep flowing and will not be like crooked trees, waiting to die there.

There is nothing shameful in poaching some foreign talents and bringing them back for use at Dongling Hi-Tech. Didn’t the domestic military weapons research institute poach a large number of talents from the current big and second Russian countries a few years ago after the fall of the Russian bear, and brought them back along with their families to "exchange" with domestic R&D personnel?

Dongxin Semiconductor also has a group of R&D personnel poached from the Russians. When developing the "Tianji" chip, those talented people with a very high level of mathematics who were poached from Moscow University also made a lot of contributions to the development of the Tianji chip.

In recent years, Dongxin Semiconductor has recruited many technical experts from the Russians, especially mathematical geniuses.

In the future, Dongling Hi-Tech, Doxin Semiconductor and other companies will continue to recruit talents from overseas, especially some technical experts.

However, before recruiting people like Zhang Bing, a thorough background check must be done to avoid digging up traitors or even commercial spies, as this would be like laying a mine for yourself.

Therefore, when Dongling Hi-Tech recruits overseas personnel, it requires them to return to China with their families. The reason given is that people who work for Dongling Hi-Tech must not have to endure the regret of missing out on family reunions.

Is Dongling Hi-Tech a company without conscience? No way! Therefore, those who join Dongling Hi-Tech from overseas, especially those in the technical department, must bring their wives, children, parents and family members back to Hanxi!

Dongling Hi-Tech has also signed some special agreements with people in special positions, such as Zhang Bing. When they hold key positions and are in charge of key projects, they and their families are temporarily unable to leave the country before the products are released. This is also just in case.

Dongling Hi-Tech upholds the banner of humanity, family, fatherly love and filial piety. Whoever dares to oppose, whoever wants to oppose, is there still humanity? Can Dongling Hi-Tech accept employees who have no humanity?

Conducting background checks, helping the families of Zhang Bing and others to relocate to China, and arranging accommodation, jobs, and schooling for them will cost a lot of money, but compared to the possible troubles in the future, Dongling Hi-Tech can afford these costs.

"I don't have any problems getting used to it, but the children may need some adaptation.

The Hanxi of today is totally different from the Hanxi I was in back then!"

Zhang Bing said that he had not returned to China for more than ten years. Li Dongling, Chen Tao and others were in western Hanzhoung, so they might not feel it obviously.

But Zhang Bing, who returned from overseas, could feel the tremendous changes in Hanxi. The current Hanxi has indeed changed tremendously from the one in his memory.

Especially Hanxi Jiaotong University, which has seen a significant increase in funding in recent years thanks to the support of Dongling Hi-Tech and donations from alumni such as Li Dongling and Chen Tao.

Hanxi Jiaotong University renovated the campus and added a large number of computer buildings, teaching buildings, laboratories, faculty buildings, dormitories and other buildings. Zhang Bing almost didn't recognize it when he returned for the first time.

Hearing Zhang Bing's words, Li Dongling nodded. As for whether Zhang Bing's family would get used to it, it was not a problem at all.

As long as Zhang Bing can gain a foothold in Dongling High-Tech Department and complete the project, the salary, bonus, project dividends, future option rewards, etc., he will earn much more than what he earned at Xerox.

Moreover, the domestic consumption level is much lower than that in America. With Zhang Bing's income level, the living standard his family experiences in Hanxi is definitely higher than that in America.

Of course, this refers to the normal living standard, including food, clothing, housing, and domestic travel. As for partying, taking contraband, and shooting freely in America, that is definitely not the case. Even after a few decades, we will not be able to catch up with America in this regard.

"The two most important projects in the Innovation Lab right now are the repeater project and the stargazing digital video recorder!"

After putting on a dust-proof suit and entering the innovation laboratory, Zhang Bing said to Li Dongling.

"What stage has the research and development reached now?" Li Dongling asked directly.

Zhang Bing glanced at Chen Tao, and then said, "The repeater project was previously developed by Mr. Chen and his team. The prototype has been developed, and the current focus is on preparing for trial production and adjusting the process.

It is expected to be launched on the market during the Chinese New Year in coordination with the market!"

As a product that was developed at the same time as the electronic dictionary, the electronic dictionary has been on the market for several months. The production of the repeater was delayed previously in order to avoid internal conflicts.

There are difficulties in making electronic dictionaries and repeaters, but... to be honest, it is not that difficult to make them.

The biggest challenge is to make them smaller, lighter, more functional and provide a better user experience!
Dongling Hi-Tech's products have never been cheap. They are mid-to-high-end products and have not been involved in price wars. However, the products sold by Dongling Hi-Tech all conform to the rule that you get what you pay for.

In terms of product quality, user experience, and after-sales service, Dongling Hi-Tech's products are the best in their class. So even if there is a premium, anyone who has actually used the product will know which one to choose without worrying about falling into a trap.

"This handheld repeater now has a memory size of 16M and can record for about 25 minutes. In addition, there are also repeaters with 32M and 64M larger memory sizes!
Currently, more than 89% of the components of handheld repeaters, including key components, come from Dongling Hi-Tech and companies in the industrial chain.

The main control chip and voice chip are supplied by Doxin Semiconductor, the repeater screen is developed by Oriental Optoelectronics, and the storage chip is supplied by Shenzhou Storage.

The rest of the body, buttons, magnetic heads, speakers, microphones, batteries, power modules and other parts are all produced by Dongling Hi-Tech, and also supplied by Hanxi New Materials, BYD and other companies! "

Zhang Bing said to Li Dongling that after arriving at Dongling Hi-Tech's technical department, he realized how strong Dongling Hi-Tech's control over the parts industry chain is, which even Xerox could not catch up with.
