Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 164: The tug of war between teacher and student

Ma Qing nodded affirmatively again. This was actually part of Ma Qing's plan to build a future scientific research team. Taking the university as the starting point, building a solid talent base and spending some money first was completely acceptable to Ma Qing.

"I have seen your determination, and I have also felt your strength. Okay, now you can tell me in detail what specific talents you need."

Since his students have both ideals and abilities, Wang Chaozong said nothing more and planned to find some talents to help his students. If successful, with the huge amount of donations flowing in in the future, he could also take the position of principal.

Thinking of this, something called ambition suddenly appeared in Wang Chaozong's heart, and this ambition gradually burned and filled his heart.

"I need a lot of people, in mechanical manufacturing, structural manufacturing, industrial design, motor research and development, chemical research and development, and even art design." Ma Qing chattered, with an attitude that all the talents in the world were in his hands.

As a result, Ma Qing's words directly extinguished the flame of ambition that had just begun to ignite in Wang Chaozong's heart. This guy is too unreliable. You want to do everything. Doesn't it just prove that you have no direction at all?

Looking at the unreliable boy in front of him, he decided that Ma Qing was probably a prodigal son. "Ma Qing, you are doing this. Have you ever thought about what you want to do? You are doing things without any purpose. No matter how big your family business is, it won't be able to withstand your tossing and turning."

Ma Qing was still unaware of his professor's psychological changes and was still boasting, "Professor, don't worry, I am confident that I can transform scientific and technological achievements into commercial results."

"Well, I'd like to see how you turn my micro power generation device into commercial results." Wang Chaozong took out a metal disc with a diameter of only 2 cm from the drawer.

"This little thing of mine is actually a miniature rotary generator. I have perfected the structure of this generator and it is very simple, but it has a problem. The current is very small and it only produces current when it rotates. Moreover, the current is not stable. The faster it rotates, the greater the current. Come on, commercialize it for me."

Ma Qing looked at this little gadget and didn't expect to get such a reward. He immediately said, "Is this patented? I'll buy it for 2 yuan."

"Of course I have a patent. The structural design inside is my masterpiece, but are you sure you want to..." Wang Chaozong was very surprised and looked carefully at the little thing in his hand. Ever since he made this little thing, he really couldn't think of any use for it and kept it aside.

Wang Chaozong didn't expect that Ma Qing would spend 2 yuan to buy it after just one look. Wang Chaozong was a smart man, and he was caught in a huge cognitive battle: Is Ma Qing trying to please me? Or does this micro generator have huge commercial potential? 2 yuan, will it be sold?

For a moment, Wang Chaozong became a little worried, and Ma Qing was waiting quietly by the side. In fact, it didn't matter whether he could buy this thing or not. It was just a simple micro motor. There were countless such ingenious designs in Ma Qing's database. The reason why Ma Qing was willing to spend money to buy it was actually like spending a fortune on a horse bone.

"Ma Qing, can you tell the teacher what this thing is used for?" Wang Chaozong played the emotional card.

"Professor, this is a trade secret. If you don't want to sell it, forget it. It's okay." Ma Qing looked down on Professor Wang. He couldn't commercialize his invention, but he wanted to get his creativity for free. It was wishful thinking. If he agreed, it would not be like paying a fortune for a horse's bones. It would be pure stupidity. Wang Chaozong could be said to be a truly smart man. He understood what he said. "You are really a natural businessman. Okay, I agree. I will sell you the patent and help you recruit people."

"Thank you, Professor. Please take care of finding someone for me. As for the patent, I will bring a lawyer here in a couple of days. Is that okay?"

Wang Chaozong agreed immediately. It was easy to reach an agreement on such a win-win situation, and this was also Ma Qing's principle in dealing with people.

In the following days, Ma Qing entered a work mode of massive recruitment, interviewing employees and assigning work every day, until Quan Ping'an told him that Zhilian Paper's post-it note production line had been completed.

"Boss, are you satisfied with the quality of these sticky notes? We have done tests and the glue formula you gave is completely feasible. It leaves no residual glue after tearing off and can be pasted repeatedly and can be pasted on various materials. I tried it and it's quite fun, but..." Director Han's tone was not very cheerful.

“You just don’t know what this thing is used for, right? Forget it, I’m too lazy to explain it to you. You can take some to the office and you’ll slowly find out what it’s used for. Also, you should produce 10 tons first, 2 tons of each in yellow, green, blue, pink and red. I have a use for it.” Ma Qing was too lazy to waste time talking to this factory director who only knew how to manage workers and actually had no business sense at all.

As for Xie Liaosha and Sherikov standing on both sides, Ma Qing, with the help of Xiao Qi, started to find fault with them directly, "Look at the work you did, it's too rough, what's wrong with the speed of your rubber roller? Is it reasonable to put this conveyor belt here?..."

Ma Qing took out two thousand yuan from his bag and handed it to the two men. "The work is average, but it basically meets my requirements. This is your bonus. You will adjust the production line according to my requirements later. The work must be completed within this week. In addition, you must teach the factory technicians simple maintenance techniques. Otherwise, if there are any problems in the future, you will have to come again, which is very troublesome."

Ma Qing's method of slapping a big date made the two foreigners angry. At the same time, they also realized that this boss was very knowledgeable about technology and it seemed that they could not be fooled in the future.

Without waiting for the two foreigners' reaction, Ma Qing took the samples and went to Kowloon Trading.

Qi Zongyuan has been having a very comfortable life recently. Ever since he became the agent for Yaguang Zhisu's toys, the profit margins of these original toys have been 5% higher than ordinary toys, and sales volumes have continued to set new records. This has greatly increased Qi Zongyuan's voice in the trading company, and there is a tendency for him to surpass the electronics department.

The old man was sitting on the sofa in the office, listening to a tune with his eyes narrowed, stroking the thigh of his pretty assistant with one hand, feeling extremely happy. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the assistant beside him jumped out like a frightened rabbit, leaving Qi Zongyuan's old hand suspended in the air.

The voice of the front desk came from outside the door: "Boss Ma from Yaguang Zhisu is here to visit, please see..."
