Seeing the expressions of Liu Shuo and others, Qin Hai smiled wryly in his heart. He originally planned to leave some leeway for Wang Peichao in order to appease the feelings of Liu Shuo, Huang Yanling and others, but if Wang Peichao was suspected of leaking the core technology of Quwu Company to Kusela, then the nature of the problem would be completely different, even if Qin Hai He wanted to let Wang Peichao live, but Liu Shuo and the others might not be able to accept it.

"Brother Liu, don't worry, tell me how you found out about the relationship between Chaosai Company and Wang Peichao." Qin Hai asked calmly.

"We were careless when we talked about this matter." Liu Shuo put away the churning emotions in his heart and said to Qin Hai:

"Actually, we already knew about a Chaosai company in Changgu City two years ago. The business of Quwu Ceramics Company is booming, and many cities in Linxi are imitating it. The larger ceramic companies in the province are There are dozens, not to mention those small businesses.

The other ceramic companies in the province have all visited and studied in Qutao, and there are also those who want to form a joint venture with us or help us. We have always welcomed these cooperation requests, and this is also the case. Mr. Qin, you encouraged me.

But this Chaosai company is different from others. When it was established, it was quiet and there was no movement. After its establishment, no one was sent to our company to study. We once thought whether its leaders were too arrogant, how could it be possible to do a good business by working behind closed doors.

But things are so strange. For such a humble company, the output value reached more than 10 million in the first year, and rose to more than 30 million in the second year. Moreover, a large number of products were exported, earning a lot of foreign exchange for Changgu City. In this way, we don't want to pay attention to it, but we have to pay attention, because they are all in Linxi, and they are all in the ceramic industry, so they can be regarded as brother companies.

This focus revealed the problem. We learned that the products produced by Chaosai Company are highly similar to our Qutao products, not only household ceramic knives, but also industrial ceramics, sensitive ceramics and other products are the same as ours. It can be said that as long as it is something we produce, they will produce it, and they are grabbing the same market as us. Of course, we cannot sit idly by. "

"By this time, don't you know that this company has something to do with Wang Peichao?" Qin Hai asked strangely.

Liu Shuo shook his head embarrassingly, and said: "We really don't know. Wang Peichao's work is very secretive, and Chaosai Company is not registered under his name. The general manager is a distant relative he invited, and none of us know each other. Wang Peichao has been working in the company for the past two years, and sometimes he left Quwu to go to Changgu, and we thought he was just going to discuss business or have some personal affairs, how could we have thought that he would have anything to do with Chaosai Company.”

"It's not just a relationship, he is the boss behind Chaosai Company." Huang Yanling added.

"That is to say, during the two years when Chaosai Company plagiarized Qu Tao's technology, Wang Peichao has been serving as the deputy director of Qu Tao's production department, and has mastered all our core production secrets." Qin Hailue brought asked in a teasing tone.

Liu Shuo lowered his head and said, "Yes, that's exactly the case."

"I am responsible for this matter." Huang Yanling hurriedly excused Liu Shuo, "I am in charge of personnel work. I did not discover Wang Peichao's situation in time. I request the group to punish me."

"It's too early to talk about punishment." Qin Hai waved his hand. It's useless to punish anyone when something like this happens. Generally speaking, what happened to Wang Peichao was due to a problem with Qu Tao's management mechanism. The 20 original shareholders were mixed, and there was some emotional connection between them. The problem.

In order to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future, it is necessary to reform Qu Tao's management system and transform Qu Tao from a family business model to a modern enterprise system. Of course, this reform can only be put on the agenda after the matter of Wang Peichao is resolved.

"I have always requested that the company's core technology should not be in the hands of the same person. Has this requirement been strictly implemented? If it is strictly implemented, Wang Peichao can only understand the technology of one link, but not other links. Logically speaking, he cannot completely clone Qu Tao's technology." Qin Hai said.

Liu Shuo nodded and said, "Mr. Qin, we have always carried out your request to the letter. Since the time of Brother Ceramics Factory, our production has been divided into several independent links. , each core technology will be split into several parts, mastered by different people.

However, Wang Peichao did not steal the company's technology this time alone. There were two other people with him. The combined knowledge of the three of them can almost restore Qu Tao's technique. "

"Now we can only say that we found three people. I suspect that Tang Honghui from the technical department also has contact with them." Ming Yongbo said in a low voice.

Huang Yanling said: "There is no evidence yet, and we don't want to doubt it casually. However, Hong Hui has always had a good relationship with Wang Peichao. As for whether he will leak the technical information in his hands to Wang Peichao, I don't know. I gave her the day before yesterday. I arranged another thing to keep her away from new technical information for the time being, but since there is no conclusive evidence, I am inconvenient to make it too obvious."

Qin Hai knew that Tang Honghui was also one of the 20 children with Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling, and he was also a shareholder of Quwu Ceramics Company. It is obviously inappropriate to rashly take measures against her without evidence of collusion between her and Wang Peichao. However, the position of deputy director of the technical department has access to a lot of core confidential information. If she is indeed an insider, then the risk of letting her stay in this position is also very high.

Quwu Ceramics Company has its own research and development department, and has also received some support from Anhe Materials Institute, and has many leading technologies in special ceramics. Some of these technologies can be applied for patent protection, while others are not suitable for patent application, such as some specific production processes, or certain powder preparation techniques, etc. These technologies do not represent the final product form, and are very It is difficult to protect patent rights, so companies generally adopt confidential methods to protect them. For the latter part of the technology, if an insider leaks out and is imitated by others, the company can only admit that it is at a disadvantage.

What Wang Peichao did was to steal Qutao's core production technology and transfer it to Chaosai Company for use. Due to the adoption of the same production process as Qutao, Chaosai's ceramic products are also of high quality. Compared with Qutao's products, they can almost be faked. In order to compete for the market, Chaosai Company lowered the price so low that many customers gave up Qutao and chose Chaosai Company's products instead. This is equivalent to Qu Tao spending a lot of investment in developing advanced technology, and then being taken by others and turned into a weapon against himself.

"Wang Peichao did it so covertly, how did you finally find out?" Qin Hai continued to ask.

Liu Shuodao: "Because we found that the products of Chaosai Company were consistent with ours, we successively sent several groups of people to negotiate with Chaosai Company and questioned whether they had embezzled our technology. Chaosai Company's attitude was very strong and refused. contact with us. There was no other way, so I had no choice but to go to Chaosai Company to negotiate with their general manager. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at Chaosai Company, I met Wang Peichao. Chaosai company has contact."

"Now, do Wang Peichao and the other two retain their identities in Qu Tao?" Qin Hai asked.

Liu Shuo said: "How is this possible? As soon as I found out that Wang Peichao was in contact with Chaosai Company, I asked Yanling and the others to seal off the offices of Wang Peichao and the others. They were not allowed to take a single piece of paper. We also reported to the Quwu police The case is closed, the police said, as long as Wang Peichao and the others dare to step into Quwu, they will be arrested and brought to justice immediately."

"This can be regarded as a cure for the dead." Ming Yongbo said, "Fortunately, we discovered it early. The production of our high-temperature ceramic turning tools has not yet started. If this technology is also stolen by Wang Peichao, the loss will be too great."

Qin Hai knew about the high-temperature ceramic turning tool project, and he also contributed some of his wisdom during the research and development of the project.

Turning tools are tools used to cut metal. Traditional turning tools are made of high-temperature-resistant alloy steel, which are expensive but not durable enough. A fatal flaw of alloy steel is that it is easy to soften under high temperature conditions, and the temperature of the turning tool is very obvious during high-speed cutting.

Ceramic turning tool is an alternative product of traditional alloy turning tool. Ceramic has two advantages of high hardness and high temperature resistance, and its temperature resistance is more than twice that of alloy steel. Many ceramic companies around the world are trying to develop ceramic cutting tools, and they have indeed made some finished products. Because Qutao has a lot of accumulation in household ceramic knives, it has inherent advantages in developing ceramic cutting tools. This time, with the help of experts from Anhe Materials Institute, Qu Tao developed high-strength ceramic turning tools, and plans to use it as the main product in the next one or two years, occupying more than half of the international ceramic turning tool market.

The technology of ceramic turning tools has just been developed and has not yet been put into production, so Wang Peichao has not come into contact with it yet. If this technology is also taken away by him, for Qu Tao, the loss is almost unbearable.

"I have sealed off the technology of ceramic turning tools, and Tang Honghui can't get in touch. But I haven't figured out what to do next. I can't stop production to prevent leaks, right?" Huang Yanling frowned and said to Qin Hai said. (My novel "Material Empire" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lucky draw gift for everyone!
