Material Empire

Chapter 590 Whose Intellectual Property Owns

The Daqin Group's merger and acquisition matter is over!

What was just confirmed at the governor's office meeting spread throughout the entire Anhe Electric Factory in a blink of an eye, which is quite a matter with Chinese characteristics. The statement about Ohara Machinery Co., Ltd.'s "robbery" made some people feel happy and encouraged, while others felt uneasy, and some people simply chose not to believe it:

"Why did the Japanese annex our factory? The technology of the Japanese is not much better than ours?" This is the muttering of some workers behind their backs.

"That's different. They want to reduce costs. Haven't you heard people say that Japanese workers earn more money in a day than we do in a month? If you come to China to set up a factory, the labor cost will be much cheaper." See more Well-informed people are doing science popularization for colleagues in this way.

"Fuck, co-authoring them is to come to China to exploit our labor force?"

"You don't want to be exploited, you can resign. I can tell you that after changing to a joint venture, everyone's salary can be doubled. You don't want this kind of exploitation?"

"Doubling your salary, is there such a good thing?"

"I heard what people said, anyway, they are foreigners, hmph..." The whistleblower himself was a little unsure, so he could only vaguely explain.

Although it is not clear what the Japanese company's conditions for the merger of the Anhe Electric Factory are, most of the employees in the factory are eager, looking forward to the Japanese entering the factory to take over various affairs as soon as possible. After opening the country for so many years, Hongze already has some foreign-funded enterprises. What people hear is how good the treatment of foreign-funded enterprises is, and how generous the benefits are. All in all, the situation is much better than before. Anhe Electric Factory has been losing money for many years in a row, and bonuses, benefits and other things have been cut off from everyone. Everyone is still full of hope that there will be a new owner to change the situation of Anhe Electric Factory.

Prior to this, the news that Daqin Group was going to merge Anhe Electric Factory had already been widely known. Now it suddenly became the Xiaoyuan Society. The workers and cadres of the whole factory were only stunned for a moment, and then calmed down. In their view, it was all annexation anyway, and being annexed by the Japanese was of course stronger than being annexed by the Daqin Group. The Daqin Group is indeed a miracle in Anhe Province, but no matter how miraculous you are, can you compare with the Japanese? Japan and us are not on the same level at all, okay?

Since receiving the notice from the province, the "receiving officers" transferred from the Daqin Group to the motor factory have withdrawn one after another. Their withdrawal also confirmed the rumors about the failure of the Daqin Group's merger and acquisition. Many works promoted by Daqin Group have been interrupted, such as the adjustment of the workshop production line, the improvement of the factory environment, etc. Among them, the research and development of cerium-based permanent magnet motors has the greatest impact.

"Why did it change so well?" Hu Zhizhong muttered to Sun Yuzhi who came to receive the preliminary drawings.

Sun Yuzhi smiled wryly and said, "How do I know? Even our President Qin can't figure it out, let alone me, a little teacher. Alas, President Qin is right. Some of our leaders can't straighten their knees when they meet Mr. Yang .”

"Our country's economy is backward, and now we still need to attract business and investment. It is inevitable for the provincial leaders to have such considerations." Hu Zhizhong explained for the leaders. People back then didn't have so many cynicism complexes, and everyone has always understood and supported such things as attracting investment. Public opinion such as opposition to super-national treatment only emerged after the new century, because Chinese-funded enterprises already had some capital to challenge foreign capital at that time.

Qin Hai has a thinking that transcends the times in his mind, so he has more awareness of equality than others. The cadres and employees in the entire Daqin Group are also more radical than people in other companies because of Qin Hai's concept. many.

Sun Yuzhi is not a person who likes to argue, especially since Hu Zhizhong is much older than him, so it is inconvenient for him to explain the truth to Hu Zhizhong. Hearing Hu Zhizhong's explanation, Sun Yuzhi just nodded and said: "Boss Hu is right, but in this case, our permanent magnet motor research will have to be interrupted."

"I think we can continue to do it, right?" Hu Zhizhong said, "Cerium-based permanent magnet materials are a promising new type of rare earth permanent magnet materials, and cerium-based permanent magnet motors must be competitive in the market. The company merged the Anhe Electric Factory, so it should not refuse to develop this kind of permanent magnet motor. Our work is already half done, and if they continue to do it, they can save a lot of detours."

Sun Yuzhi smiled and said: "Boss Hu, have you ever thought about it, if Xiaoyuan Society continues our work, who will own the intellectual property rights of this kind of motor?"

"This..." Hu Zhizhong was dumb. He has been engaged in technology in state-owned enterprises, and he is really insensitive to things like intellectual property rights. In fact, Sun Yuzhi didn't care much about intellectual property rights before. After staying under Qin Hai's staff for a long time, he gradually formed such a thinking habit. When encountering any technical problems, he first thought of intellectual property rights.

Sun Yuzhi said: "Boss Qin means that he does not want to share the intellectual property rights of permanent magnet motors with the Japanese. If Xiaoyuan Club is interested in making permanent magnet motors by itself, we welcome it. But we also need to develop a set of things ourselves to save It will be controlled by others in the future."

"This idea is right." Hu Zhizhong figured it out, holding the technology in his own hands is of course more free than sharing it with others. During the previous period of research on permanent magnet motors, Qin Hai kept talking to Hu Zhizhong about his goals, including providing motors for new energy vehicles and high-speed railway trains. As for the latter item, Hu Zhizhong can't imagine it now, but from Qin Hai's point of view, it seems to be a very high-level thing.

"So, if Ohara Corporation takes over the Anhe Electric Factory, you will have to carry out follow-up research and development yourself? Is your research strength enough?" Hu Zhizhong asked kindly.

Sun Yuzhi shook his head slightly, and said: "At least according to the current situation, we still lack a leader like Mr. It is still very difficult to independently develop motors.”

"How about..." Hu Zhizhong swallowed halfway through his words. He originally wanted to say that he could use his spare time to help Daqin Group in the research and development of motors, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there were too many obstacles. Once Xiaoyuan Company merged Anhe Electric Factory, and Daqin Group wanted to develop its own motor products, then Anhe Electric Factory and Daqin Group would no longer be in a cooperative relationship, but a competitive relationship. As the chief engineer of Anhe Electric Factory, it is obviously inappropriate to help competitors with research and development in their spare time.

"Mr. Hu, have you ever thought about coming to our Daqin Group?" Sun Yuzhi asked in a low voice.

"To your Daqin Group?" Hu Zhizhong was taken aback, "Why?"

"We have more room for development here, and the treatment must be better." Sun Yuzhi said as a matter of course. After staying in the School of Materials for several years, he is now loyal to the group. Huyou came to work in the group. In his opinion, Daqin Group is the best employer in China... bar none.

Hu Zhizhong was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "I haven't really thought about this. I have worked in Anhe Electric Machinery Factory all my life. People who are about to retire don't bother. If you want to continue to develop electric motors, in fact, you can do it in China." If you find other motor experts, with your Mr. Qin's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to find a few people."

Sun Yuzhi was also inconvenient and reluctant, just smiled and said: "I just feel that I have a good relationship with Mr. Hu, so I want to invite Mr. Hu to come to our place, and we will work together, which will make us happier."

"There will be a chance." Hu Zhizhong said perfunctorily.

Sun Yuzhi left with the preliminary design drawings and experimental data. Hu Zhizhong sent him all the way to the factory gate, watched him get into the car of Anhe Materials College, and then walked back. The assistant Chen Hao got out from nowhere, and asked in a low voice, "Boss Hu, Professor Sun and the others took away all the blueprints?"

"That's right, they said that the cooperation has been interrupted and they have to develop it themselves." Hu Zhizhong said.

Chen Hao stomped his feet and said, "Mr. Hu, didn't I tell you that these materials cannot be given to them."

"What?" Hu Zhizhong was a little surprised, he remembered that Chen Hao had indeed reminded him of this matter, but he didn't take it to heart. In his view, since the cooperation failed, it was reasonable for them to ask to take away the previous drawings.

Chen Hao said: "Mr. Hu, I didn't explain clearly to you. I just asked clearly. My classmate who was studying in Japan came with the people from Xiaoyuan Club this time. He told me that Xiaoyuan Club is going to annex us. factory, everything in our factory was transferred to them at a price, and these blueprints are also our factory’s stuff, how can people from Daqin Group take them away?”

Hu Zhizhong's face sank, and he said, "How could it be something from our factory? Didn't we use the money from Daqin for the design and experiments in the early stage? Everyone worked overtime and got overtime pay. This is all from Daqin." Xiao Chen, you have also received the money paid by the group, right?"

Chen Hao said: "Even if we have received their money, the technicians of our Anhe Electric Factory are the ones who did the design. We have at least half of these results, right? They took them away like this. When the people from Xiaoyuan Club come, we can It’s really hard to explain.”

Seeing Chen Hao's terrified expression, Hu Zhizhong suddenly felt very disgusted. He turned his face into a tiger and said, "Please explain, I am the chief engineer, and I will take full responsibility."

Seeing that Hu Zhizhong was angry, Chen Hao quickly explained: "Mr. Hu, I didn't mean that. I meant that my classmates originally worked in Xiaoyuan Club, so they could take care of us more. If we keep the drawings of the motor , that’s another hole card.”

"I don't need to trade my conscience for any hole cards!" Hu Zhizhong said coldly, and walked away.
