Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 163 Building a Technical Team

The three of them took it and quickly looked at it. The patent itself was actually very simple. It was just a circle of glue on one end of the paper.

But the three people's subsequent actions were completely different. Xie Liaosha took a look at the patent and ran to look at the equipment placed in the middle of the workshop.

After reading the patent, Sherikov began to look at the spatial layout of the entire workshop.

After reading the patent, Director Han asked Ma Qingfa directly: "Boss, do you mean that our paper mill is going to start making end products? But what's the use of this sticky note? Why don't we make some notepads, exercise books, etc.? At least these things can be sold."

"..." Ma Qing was speechless. Originally, when he took out this patent for the Post-it Note, these guys should have been astonished. Why did they all have this attitude?

But Ma Qing understood one thing, that is, the two foreigners only cared about whether and how to complete their tasks, and the consequences had nothing to do with them. Director Han, on the other hand, regarded the interests of the factory and his own interests as one, and was worried that the new products developed by Ma Qing would not have a market.

This is the difference between people. It’s hard to say who is good or bad.

"Director Han, don't worry. I have the upper hand over this matter. You just need to assist Sherikov and Xie Liaosha to set up the production line, and then do a good job of production management. Don't worry, I will inject 20 yuan into the company as special funds. The sticky notes will be independently accounted for within the company first, and will not affect the company's original operations." Seeing that Director Han tied himself to the factory, Ma Qing explained carefully.

Seeing that his boss had said this, Han Chusheng, as an employee, had nothing else to say. "In that case, boss, rest assured. Leave this matter to me. I promise that nothing will happen to these two foreigners."

Ma Qing nodded and said to Sherikov and Xie Liaosha who were talking nearby, "You two come over here first and tell me if you have any difficulties."

"There is no difficulty. This matter is quite simple. The two of us are just discussing whether to use the rolling glue method or the spray glue method." Xie Liaosha spoke on behalf of the two.

"I don't care whether you use the glue rolling method or the glue spraying method. What I want is the final effect. This is actually a small test. I bought the machine and I know the difficulty of the modification. I will score whether your final modification is good or not. In addition, time is also very important."

Ma Qing emphasized: "Your final salary will be 1000, 2000 or 3000, or even more, it all depends on your performance. If you don't perform well, you will be fired."

Judging from the two people's performance just now, Ma Qing felt that it would be better to be more direct with these two foreigners and speak in a language they can understand, which would be more effective.

Sherikov and Seryosha immediately understood, looked at each other, and decided to charge towards a higher salary level.

"I'll give you two weeks. If you need any manpower or material resources, go to Director Han." Ma Qing pointed at Han Chusheng standing next to him and said loudly, "I want this production line to be running within two weeks. I want to see the finished products of the sticky notes."

After Ma Qing instructed Director Han to arrange dormitories and living arrangements for the two foreigners, he took Quan Ping'an directly to the Hong Kong Technical College.

Ma Qing decided to expand his technical team and planned to get some talent resources from the professors he had a good relationship with. "Professor Wang, this is what I am talking about. I just opened a technology company, and I want to ask you if you have any good talents to introduce to me." Ma Qing asked for help in a flattering tone, just like most students would when facing their mentors.

Professor Wang can be regarded as Ma Qing's benefactor in his academic studies. If it were not for the recommendation of this professor, it would have been very difficult for him to enter the Hong Kong Technical College. Therefore, in the past few years, with Ma Qing's deliberate efforts to make friends with him, Professor Wang has already regarded Ma Qing as his last disciple.

Professor Wang Chaozong was surprised: "Ma Qing, when did you start a company? This is no joke. I didn't think your family was well off."

Ma Qing is quite low-key in school and has always lived as an ordinary college student. If there is any difference between him and other students, it is that he occasionally skips classes. However, because his grades are good, teachers usually turn a blind eye.

"Actually, my family is quite wealthy. My company has invested one million. If you have time, please come to my company and take a look. It's not a small business." In order to recruit people, Ma Qing can't hide his shortcomings at this time. The company is small and has no strength, so it cannot attract capable people.

"I can't tell. You're hiding it very well. But this matter is not easy to handle. Ma Qing, you should know how valuable college students are now. I'm afraid your company with a million-dollar investment doesn't have much advantage in their eyes. It's not easy to handle."

Wang Chaozong felt that Ma Qing was oversimplifying things. Nowadays, Hong Kong college graduates only want to work in multinational companies to earn foreign money. Who would be interested in a local technology company like yours?

Ma Qing had never imagined that his company would be looked down upon. He couldn't help but hold his breath. "Professor, I understand. Can you help me find some graduates who can't get into multinational companies but have a certain level of skills? No, it doesn't matter if they are not graduates or even college students. As long as they have a certain level of skills, I want them."

Ma Qing thought about it and even added: "I can offer a salary that is 20% higher than the market price. As long as the person is capable, I am willing to pay him."

Wang Chaozong was surprised by his student's tone, "Ma Qing, this is not a joke. Don't think your one million is a lot and you can't afford to spend it."

"Professor, you don't have to worry about this. Let me put it this way. To express my sincerity, I will set up an intellectual education and academic foundation in our school. Every year, I will donate 10 Hong Kong dollars to my alma mater to subsidize or reward those poor but academically excellent students. You will be the chairman of the foundation. Do you think it's okay?" After Ma Qing finished speaking, he took out a checkbook from his pocket, wrote a string of numbers on it, and handed it to Wang Chaozong.

"Don't think it's too little. As my business develops well in the future, the amount will continue to increase," Ma Qing added.

Wang Chaozong took a deep breath. 10 yuan was not a small amount. If compared with the housing price, it was equivalent to Ma Qing directly giving Wang Chaozong a 2022 million education fund in 2000.

Of course, this comparison is unscientific, because the increase in housing prices in Hong Kong is indeed a bit unscientific.

"Are you sure?" Wang Chaozong confirmed again while holding the check. This student gave him a great shock today, and this check will greatly improve his status and voice in the school.
