Chapter 1151 Directly Poaching People
Liu Meilan's eyes lit up. "I like it too. I'll try the milk tea our company makes later."
Zhao Fang smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu!"
Liu Yiwen, who was standing next to her, reminded her, "Meilan, time is a bit tight, can we start now?"
Liu Meilan glanced at her watch and nodded, "Alright, we can begin. First of all, welcome Comrade Xu, Professor Li, and all team members!"
Liu Meilan led the applause.
Everyone noticed that Liu Meilan, who had been talking about milk tea just moments before, had transformed into a serious and capable female CEO.
The person sitting in the main seat is usually the one who makes the final decision.
In addition, Xu Feng mentioned Liu Meilan to Professor Li on several occasions, making Professor Li and others realize that she was the real person in charge!
Liu Meilan continued, "Next, Professor Li, let's get straight to the point. I'll ask questions, and you'll answer. Please tell me, under the premise of ensuring safety, what would be the size of your battery for an electric vehicle with a range of 30 kilometers and a weight of 80-100 kilograms?"
Professor Li was fully aware of this and answered each question.
Liu Meilan took notes and then asked, "If you want to achieve a range of fifty kilometers within the same volume, how long would it take you to break through that barrier?"
Professor Li perked up. "With sufficient funding, it should take one to two years."
Liu Meilan blinked and smiled, "How much exactly is the funding?"
Professor Li pondered for a moment and replied, "We need 20 million, but the school only gave us 5 million, which is far from enough. If we can make up the difference, I guarantee that we can develop a smaller battery with a longer range and design a higher-performance electric vehicle within the deadline."
Liu Meilan did not answer immediately, but instead asked, "Professor Li, as far as I know, you have one year left before retirement. Would you be interested in bringing your team to our R&D department in Shenzhen? Technology is constantly advancing, and electric vehicles also need continuous updates!"
Before Professor Li and his team arrived, she had already received all the relevant materials from Xu Feng. After confirming that the team was reliable, she wanted to poach the entire team.
"Huh?" Professor Li was taken aback. "Are you here to work in Shenzhen?"
Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes! You've come here to be the backbone of the R&D center."
Professor Li was skeptical. "You want all of my students?"
“Yes!” Liu Meilan replied, “This is the salary and benefits package that I asked professionals to draft for you. Please take a look…”
Ye Qiang distributed the printed recruitment benefits to everyone.
When Zhao Fang saw the salary and benefits offered, she was both surprised and delighted. With a hint of nervousness, she asked, "President Liu, you... we haven't even officially demonstrated our results yet, how can you trust us so much?"
Liu Meilan waved the documents in her hand. "Comrade Xu has already given me the relevant information, and I've also learned about you through other channels. I'm an investor; I won't do business at a loss. I think this field has great potential. Whether it's from the perspective of travel safety, energy security, or people's travel needs, electric bicycles and rural electric tricycles are key areas for future development!"
Professor Li's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "President Liu thinks so too?"
Liu Meilan wholeheartedly agreed, “Yes! So the key component is the battery; a battery with long range and sufficient power is of paramount importance. Although your research may not be the most advanced in China, I believe your research direction is the most reasonable!”
"Furthermore, Comrade Xu, the battery production line at your current workplace can maintain a range of 20 kilometers. Based on your current research results, a 30-kilometer range should be achievable within three months. I also really like the electric vehicle you designed!"
Liu Meilan pulled out a design drawing. The drawing showed a small and cute electric vehicle without pedals. It had an arc-shaped body, and the design of the headlights and the outer shell was very beautiful!
"For electric vehicles with similar performance, if the appearance is made more attractive and cute, I believe more women will be willing to buy them! Men, on the other hand, tend to prefer a more imposing and cool look. The fact that most boys like riding motorcycles proves this!"
Hearing Liu Meilan's praise, Zhao Fang was very happy. "Not only can electric vehicles be designed to be beautiful and cute, but I also think they can be available in a variety of colors! At the same price point and with the same performance, appearance and color are key factors for us women when making a choice. Even if other technical parameters are slightly inferior, we are willing to pay for a good-looking appearance!"
Liu Meilan wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes! And your system design is also excellent!"
Seeing that Liu Meilan recognized his team and research results, Professor Li smiled and said, "I'll be retiring in a year, so I can accept being rehired. But some of my students are still graduate students, and some are doctoral students. They may not be willing to come!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Graduate students and doctoral students need to have research projects! I don't think these are problems for you. Only by producing research results can you write good papers! I can provide advanced equipment, sufficient research funding, and generous benefits. Why not come? Shenzhen's development over the past 20 years of reform and opening up is evident to all. Coming here will offer you even greater prospects!"
Nowadays, college graduates are no longer guaranteed job placement. Their school is not considered top-tier in the country. It is only because of Professor Li's excellent skills and outstanding abilities that he has gained some fame in the industry.
If students were left to find jobs on their own, they might not be able to find such well-paying ones. Moreover, a large investment company like ours doesn't just dabble in this industry; we aim for deep cultivation. Working here, you'll only have more opportunities!
Seeing the students' expectant eyes, Professor Li wavered somewhat. "Much of our research is conducted with school funding, and many of the results actually belong to the school!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I will pay patent fees as long as the technology under the school's name is used!"
Professor Li was dumbfounded. "Mr. Liu, the cost of patent licensing or purchasing a patent is not low!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Every year I donate over 100 million yuan to schools and research institutions to support technological research and development! These donations are all gratuitous. Do you think I would monopolize the intellectual property rights of domestic universities?"
Everyone was deeply impressed, especially Professor Li, who was filled with respect. "Mr. Liu, thank you for your support of scientific innovation!"
Liu Meilan smiled. "No need to thank me! You might find this funny, but I want to be a national entrepreneur, not a capitalist! So I won't take away other people's labor and intellectual property, and I won't shortchange them on any of the fees. Your university can earn income by selling patents or licensing them, and you'll have more funds to invest in technological research and development, which is beneficial to the entire country and society!"
