Chapter 141 Integration of industry, academia and research
"Oh? What does it say?" Luo Binghui asked with interest.
Liao Tingxuan continued: "The establishment of the Zhiyuan Metallurgical R&D Center is very controversial within the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry because it involves too many areas. After all, the General Iron and Steel Research Institute and the Metallurgical Automation Research Institute are the core research institutions of our metallurgical system and shoulder the responsibilities. Our scientific research tasks are very heavy, and the biggest obstacle is that there is no precedent for national scientific research institutes to cooperate with foreign investment!”
Luo Binghui and Liao Tingxuan had met several times at the negotiating table, and they had gradually become familiar with his negotiating routines. He was good at deliberately exaggerating the difficulties of being able to sit at the negotiating table to increase his bargaining chips in subsequent negotiations.
Luo Binghui nodded calmly and said: "It is true that national-level scientific research institutes such as the Iron and Steel Institute and the Automation Research Institute will have some policy obstacles in cooperating with the Zhiyuan Group! Taking this into consideration, Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, is preparing to re- Adjust the group's strategic layout, place the Zhiyuan Metallurgical R&D Center at the Xiangjiang headquarters, and start research on a complete set of metallurgical automated production lines..."
Liao Tingxuan was stunned. What is going on?I'm just emphasizing the difficulty of our cooperation. How come this Luo Binghui doesn't follow the routine and just flips the table?How can we continue talking about this happily?Are you talking to me about adjusting the group's strategic layout?Even a blind person can see that Zhiyuan Group’s strategic layout is to deeply explore the mainland market!
Liao Tingxuan was not so easy to fool. After a brief daze, he immediately returned to normal and said calmly: "Yes, the research and development of a complete set of automated production lines is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Take your time! It's okay to conduct some basic research in Xiangjiang first. OK!"
"Basic research? Director Liao doesn't know. As early as two years ago, Zhiyuan Steel Company invested a lot of research and development funds to start the research and development of a complete set of automated production lines. I think it won't be long before Zhiyuan can also dominate the international metallurgical equipment market. It's a piece of cake..." Luo Binghui looked up and looked around, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
Liao Tingxuan's heart moved: This Luo Binghui was so confident about adjusting the strategic layout. Could it be that there was a major breakthrough in the research and development of complete production lines?
But then I thought about it again and felt something was wrong. A complete set of metallurgical automated production lines cannot be completed by one company alone. It requires the cooperation of many downstream supporting manufacturers. Xiangjiang's heavy industry foundation cannot support it at all. How could Yang Mo adjust his strategic layout and turn the metallurgical R&D center into a complete set of metallurgical automated production lines? Put it in Xiangjiang?
Thinking of this, Liao Tingxuan already knew in his heart that Luo Binghui was trying to play hard to get with me!I almost got fooled by him...
Liao Tingxuan also pretended to be casual and said: "That's good! The General Institute of Iron and Steel and the Automation Research Institute are indeed short of manpower at the moment. They were not ready to prepare some more manpower from the metallurgical and mechanical departments of colleges and universities, but the colleges The school is also difficult. The college entrance examination has been suspended for so long, there is a shortage of professional talents, and their teaching staff is not generous... Alas!"
When Luo Binghui saw that Liao Tingxuan was not fooled, wouldn't the conversation really break down if it continued like this?He could only make it back on his own. After a moment of hesitation, he said with a smile: "Haha, Mr. Yang, we just have one more option, and we have not yet decided to place the Zhiyuan Metallurgical R&D Center in Xiangjiang. Personally, I still feel that if all conditions apply, Yes, it’s better to put it in Yanjing. After all, Zhiyuan’s future development focus will also be on the mainland market!”
An imperceptible smile appeared on Liao Tingxuan's face, and he continued: "In this debate about whether national scientific research institutes can cooperate with foreign capital, one comrade put forward a concept that I find very interesting..."
"What concept?" Luo Binghui asked.
Liao Tingxuan continued: "This comrade pointed out that the commercial value of research talents is difficult to specifically define. Even in Western developed countries, they are often underestimated. It is difficult for both parties to reach a consensus in this regard. I wonder if Zhiyuan Group has Have you considered this issue?"
Luo Binghui chuckled and said: "Director Liao, you still don't know what kind of person our Mr. Yang is? In his several cooperation with the mainland government, which one has not been a win-win situation as much as possible?"
Liao Tingxuan nodded, he couldn't argue with this.
Luo Binghui continued: "Actually, from a business perspective, Zhiyuan should set up a separate metallurgical R&D center. The R&D team can also be hired from Europe and the United States with high salaries, but Mr. Yang is still willing to give 10% of the equity to allocate it to steel research. Many people in the General Hospital and the Metallurgical Automation Research Institute did not understand why he would do this? Even I strongly opposed it at first, but then something Mr. Yang said dispelled my doubts..."
"What did he say?" Liao Tingxuan also asked curiously.
Luo Binghui continued with some sensationalism: "We, Mr. Yang, feel that after the success of absorbing national research institutions and colleges and universities such as the General Iron and Steel Institute and the Automation Research Institute to join the Zhiyuan Metallurgical R&D Center, it will not only drive the development of domestic metallurgical equipment technology. Rapid development, and more importantly, accelerating the integration process of "industry, academia and research" in the mainland, this 10% equity income may also allow these national scientific research institutes to no longer have to worry about funding constraints..."
"The process of integrating industry, academia and research?" Liao Tingxuan murmured to himself thoughtfully.
Luo Binghui nodded heavily and said: "Yes, the essence of "industry-university-research" integration is to open up cooperation channels among production enterprises, colleges and universities, and research institutions, so that the research results of most experts and scholars are no longer just articles in academic journals. Academic papers with influential factors extend to application fields and become the wings of enterprise development. In the process, research institutions will obtain a large amount of commercial returns on patented technologies, forming a virtuous cycle of industrial chains!"
Liao Tingxuan was completely immersed in the wonderful prospects described by Luo Binghui. He even forgot to care about whether 10% of the equity was too small?
Luo Binghui struck while the iron was hot and said: "The Zhiyuan Metallurgical R&D Center will become a very important link in the integration process of "industry, academia and research", and dozens of steel production companies in the mainland will benefit immensely from it..."
With the preliminary preparation, the negotiations for the Zhiyuan Metallurgical R&D Center became extremely smooth. The Ministry of Metallurgical Industry used the sanatorium located in Xishan, Yanjing as a temporary office space for the Zhiyuan Metallurgical R&D Center. A piece of land covering an area of [-] kilometers was granted to Zhiyuan to build a research and development building and a modern laboratory.
In terms of equity structure, Zhiyuan also made some concessions. The Ministry of Metallurgy used the land of the R&D building to acquire another 10% of the equity, while the General Iron and Steel Institute and the Metallurgical Automation Research Institute each received 7% of the equity.
Maybe even Luo Binghui doesn't know that tying the Metallurgical Department to the chariot of the Zhiyuan Metallurgical R&D Center is the essence of Yang Mo's move...
