“Right now, everything is going well for the group, but the problem is that right now, the situation ahead is getting more and more tense, especially for our Chinese ships, and originally some ocean-going cargo ships, in order to avoid getting into trouble, had to take a detour.” Han Zhong said, “This still has a pretty big impact on the transportation of goods.”
Ji Feng said, “It’s not something we can decide, let’s wait a little longer, it certainly won’t go on like this for a long time.”
He knew very well that the southern sea was an important corridor in China’s marine transportation.
This was especially true for ocean-going international transportation.
Because of the blockade imposed on China by countries like Rice and Kepong, China’s international ocean-going fleet, whether going out or coming in, had to go through the blockade island chain. Usually, the fleet coming from the Pacific Ocean would basically make a resupply stop at Kepong, which was normal to say, but was actually the helplessness of being stuck at the throat.
This is why there is also the great land transport artery, which is the response of the top bra*s to break the blockade of those countries on the ocean.
But although work has already begun on this land transport artery, it will take a short time to complete it, and now that the situation in the southern seas is so tense, transport will inevitably be affected.
This would undoubtedly increase the cost of transportation significantly, slowing down the flow of the Tengfei Group’s goods to the world, which is definitely not good for a group of companies.
“Actually, from the company’s point of view, it’s best not to go to war.” Han Zhong said, “Once the war starts, Island No. 1 can almost be said to be next to the position, so we really don’t know what the situation will be then.”
“No matter what the situation is, I’m afraid that this battle is inevitable.” Ji Feng said, “Just because of this situation, moving around and having people stuck in our necks, that’s why this battle has to be fought, and it’s still being imposed on us by others.”
Of course, China did not want to fight a war, which was why it had found another way when it was stuck in the neck. But naturally, countries such as Rice and Kepong do not want to see this happen, and once the lion that is China breaks free of its cage, one can think even with one’s heels how terrible the outcome will be.
That is why there is this war.
In fact, from the moment China began to rise, this war was going to be fought sooner or later, it was just a matter of time.
And for Ji Feng, he was looking forward to this war instead, it was crucial for China to break through the blockade!
“The group’s business as usual is just that, affected, then compress the business a bit.” Ji Feng said.
“I understand.”
Han Zhong nodded and said, “At the moment, the Group’s business is already actively expanding, especially in the heavy industry and the pharmaceutical industry, there are now quite a few projects in the pipeline, some of which have already started in the lab. Those technologies you gave are enough for the group’s technical experts to digest.”
Ji Feng nodded and said, “These two directions are right, industry is the cornerstone of the country and will not disappear and become obsolete at any time …… while medicine, likewise, is a top priority.”
For a country, the importance of industry is indisputable, without a complete industrial system, sometimes even a screw has to be imported from abroad, that kind of scenario, it is really sad.
Just like China’s neighbours, the three Asian countries that have been targeting China, they have extremely advanced biological and pharmaceutical technology in the world, but just because they do not have a complete industrial system, their army is equipped with a large number of advanced weapons, but their own country cannot even produce bullets, and they still need to import from abroad.
In this regard, after decades of development, China has gradually made up for this shortcoming. Although there is still a huge gap between the industries of advanced countries such as the US and Europe, and some even say that in terms of systems and standards, there is a gap of nearly 100 years, in reality, China has at least the basis to catch up.
Ji Feng wants to use his own efforts to make this catching up process a little shorter and easier.
Similarly, for the Tengfei Group, making industry one of the group’s pillar industries is definitely very sensible and something that Ji Feng strongly requested.
At the very least, if it was possible to build a starship in the future, it must be from now on that the foundation was laid!
Medicine is even more important and deserves all the praise it can get.
Many years ago, the mere appearance of penicillin saved the lives of an unknown number of people, and it still plays a huge role to this day.
The pharmaceutical industry, with its immense merits and profits, is even more amazing!
Xiao Yuxuan and Han Zhong, after discussing the matter and conducting a survey and analysis of the market, finally agreed to the general development plan formulated by Ji Feng.
Thus, the industrial and pharmaceutical projects were put on the agenda early on.
And since the business volume of the Tengfei Group has declined somewhat due to the tense situation, Xiao Yuxuan and Han Zhong are even more clearly aware that relying on products such as 3D TV sets and Kang Yuan slimming powder to fight the world is simply not a long-term solution, and definitely cannot make the group a behemoth that can stand.
This is because, no matter whether it is a television set or a weight loss health product, they are not essential things in people’s lives, and as long as the situation is slightly unstable, these things are extraneous and will be discarded at the first opportunity.
It is with this in mind that the Tengfei Group has gradually begun to transform!
“However, there are still not enough scientific researchers at the moment.” Han Zhong said, “Although the treatment on our side is good, because the spread is so big, there is still a serious shortage of manpower.”
“This problem ……” Ji Feng also had some headache, talents, this is what everyone wants, even the current state-owned enterprises, also began to attach importance to talents long ago, now is not at all the era of the 1980s and 1990s that state-owned enterprises lost technical personnel in large numbers, not to mention those Private enterprises, the talent is even more important.
Of course, this is all about large private enterprises, and few real talents are willing to go to small and medium-sized enterprises.
“Now the counterpart training of students at United University has expanded to more than a dozen majors, and every year more than a hundred people join the Tengfei Group, the reserve strength below the middle level is enough, but now we lack the real cutting-edge expert type talents.”
“Then can we cooperate with other research institutions?” Ji Feng asked, “Especially university research institutions.”
“That’s the problem.”
Han Zhong shook his head and said, “It’s fine for enterprises and schools to conduct joint research, but this type of cooperation doesn’t work for us because we have ready-made technologies, what we need to do is to digest and absorb these technologies, eat them up, and then conduct applied research.”
“That’s true!”
Ji Feng nodded his head. If we cooperated with the university’s research institutions, would it be better to give those expert professors a direction and let them do their own research, or would it be better to just give them the technology and let them learn it? The former research would take a long time, not to mention that it might not be able to yield any results.
In the latter case, whose technology will it be? How will the benefits be distributed? These are all questions.
Nowadays, the cooperation model of the technical talents of the Tengfei Group is basically that the technology patents belong to the Tengfei Group, while the papers published by the experts and professors during the research process and the honours they receive all belong to them personally, in addition to a guaranteed high salary and a generous reward after the products are put on the market.
This model of cooperation is undoubtedly a win-win situation for both sides.
The Tengfei Group makes technological advances, and the technicians gain honour, a place in the scientific community and, of course, a large amount of money.
But if one cooperates with outside researchers and institutions, this is not well distributed.
“Regarding the research institutions, I’ll think of something, and also, you try to cast your net around, such as those who are ostracised by the leaders at the university but have real talent, these can be approached and try to convince them to come and work for the Tengfei Group. Although we are not an iron rice bowl here, the income is definitely not low either.”
Ji Feng mused, “In addition, for those PhDs, or outstanding postgraduates, we can also increase the treatment, as long as they have real talent, we can afford the price!”
Han Zhong said, “We’re already doing these, but it’s still difficult to work in a short time. In fact, the rapid development of any company is accompanied by a shortage of talent, and the key is that our technologies are all too cutting-edge, and what’s missing are people who are really capable, which is harder to find.”
“You’ll have to worry more about these.” Ji Feng said, “This shortage of talent will last for a long time, and I’m afraid it will be like this for the next few years, so you should be mentally prepared.”
“I’ve already thought of that.”
Han Zhong laughed, “In fact, this has been the case for the past few years, although I don’t know where all your technology comes from, anyway, I’ll try to recruit as many researchers as possible.”
Ji Feng laughed, “That’s right, that’s what I mean.”
In fact, he did not say another layer of meaning, now he took out the gamma system technology, is still the most basic, there are many more advanced things have not been taken out, and each new technology, need a large number of cutting-edge talent to focus on research, the need for more talent.
The company has been sitting in Han Zhong’s office for more than an hour before Ji Feng left.
After leaving the office, Ji Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. Through the conversation just now he realized that although Han Zhong said that he was looking for him a few days ago for the matter of Wang Jun, he could hear that in fact the matter of Wang Jun was not the main point because Han Zhong’s heart had already made up its mind.
The real reason Han Zhong had sought him out was because he had discovered that someone was spying on him.
“Intelligence team ……”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but say in his heart, “If it’s someone from the intelligence team, then we really need to find Zhao Kai to have a good talk.”
Like Han Zhong’s thoughts, Ji Feng analyzed in the first instance that the person spying on Han Zhong was in all probability`9 someone from the intelligence group, and there was no doubt that this was Zhao Kai’s intention.
