I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"Boss Jiang, we have the money, but some foreign companies won't sell some of the equipment anymore!"

Andy Lau's face was full of helplessness. The thing that Kirin Battery Factory lacked the least now was money.

The bank provided a huge interest-free loan and Tencent Technology invested 9 billion yuan in that round of financing.

There is absolutely no shortage of funds on the books, but the problem now is that the money cannot be spent.

"Mr. Liu, when did this happen? Why didn't you contact our State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission?"

Director Zhou seemed to be hearing about this situation for the first time today and was quite surprised.

"Just last week, I contacted BMW and they showed strong interest and a large order."

"I thought that our imitation equipment production line would not be put into use so quickly, so ordering foreign machines as before would save time and effort."

"Just like what Mr. Jiang originally said, we should seize the market first."

"Who knows what happened to those foreign equipment manufacturers! It's like they colluded with each other. None of them is willing to supply us anymore."

When Andy Lau said this, there was actually a hint of relief in his wry smile.

Fortunately, the other party did not cancel the originally agreed order, so our new production line can be put into production quickly.

"Which countries and companies are the specific equipment from? Mr. Liu, please send me the list and I will help you coordinate this matter."

Director Zhou came here today mainly to discuss the listing with Jiang Hao and to seek Jiang Hao's opinion.

Who would have known that Kirin Battery's development would face a new situation, and this matter sounds really troublesome.

It is not a good idea to talk about listing right now, but we should think about solving this problem first.

"The main equipment sources are from Germany and Italy. For backup, we originally contacted several companies in the Netherlands. I will send the list of companies to you, Director Zhou, later."

In fact, they are just a few key equipment in the production line, not all equipment needs to be imported.

Moreover, these devices have almost been copied by engineers within the company, but one of the difficulties is to find other companies to produce the copied products.

The quality cannot be guaranteed and there will always be discounts on production.

What's more important is the performance. In theory, there shouldn't be any problem with this, but for the current self-developed production line, this cannot be guaranteed.

"Boss Liu, this is not your fault!"

"It should be because our Kirin battery has become famous. The international community knows that the batteries produced by our factory are excellent."

"Those companies, or their countries, are obviously just trying to block you."

As soon as Jiang Hao heard this, he actually had a guess. It was because the batteries produced by Kirin Battery Factory were too excellent and had such a large market.

These companies that supply equipment actually either have similar battery factories of their own or have similar battery factories in their own country.

Nowadays, most of China's orders are taken up by Kirin and Ningde. Even their foreign brands such as BMW and other companies have begun to contact Kirin Battery. It would be strange if they didn't mess with you!

Even though they are not as good as you in terms of products, they can still block you in terms of equipment.

If domestic enterprises have anything real, foreign countries will block them in disguised ways.

"Boss Jiang, what about this...?"

...

"You can't rush this kind of thing, you can only take it step by step!"

"Don't expect to import key equipment for the production line from abroad. Hasn't our own engineering team already copied it?"

"First find a manufacturer to produce it. As long as the performance of the batteries produced is good, the production volume can be lower."

Domestic engineers lack innovation capabilities, but their imitation capabilities are still very reliable, and they have been doing this for the past few decades.

They have a strong learning ability. Even if there are some gaps in the imitation, as long as the performance can be guaranteed, they will start production first to win by quantity.

"Also, we need to increase our efforts to recruit talent."

"I think Kirin Battery's current recruitment is still focused on workers."

"That won't work! You have to recruit engineers, especially excellent senior engineers, and train them within the company!"

Jiang Hao had actually discovered this a long time ago, but Kirin Battery's original development focus was on expanding production, and he himself was busy with the listing of Haijing, so he didn't mention this matter.

Now these things need to be taken seriously again.

"Boss Jiang, it's hard to find talent! Senior engineers are like treasures in every company and factory..."

...

"That's because you didn't give enough money! You won't learn how to really spend money."

"You go invest in specialized electrochemical laboratories and mechanical laboratories at some universities."

"Just like Professor Chen Jiming who developed our Kirin battery, wasn't it me who allowed him to do the research we needed in the name of a joint laboratory between universities?"

"Professor Chen always has students graduating every year, so those with potential should be contacted early."

"There are still professors in the Department of Mechanical Engineering who are in need. If you see any professors who are famous and capable, just contact them directly and explain clearly that you want to invest in them."

"I believe there will always be a professor who will not reject you."

Recruiting people is a step-by-step process. It is too limited to focus on the engineers of the other company.

Moreover, most of the big names are willing to stay in colleges and universities. Although it is impossible for them to devote themselves wholeheartedly to help, Kirin Battery does not require them to be on duty.

We just check and research the details of key equipment like the one we have now, and even try to upgrade it if the other party is willing.

Jiang Hao himself came from a university background, so these things came naturally to him.

We can better distinguish which ones are real talents and which laboratory projects are worth investing in.

For Andy Lau, poaching people is just a matter of looking at the packaged resumes given by recruitment software or headhunters.

At most, they are just good engineers from the other company, but there is no way to poach the real top bosses.

"Boss Jiang, I understand. I'll arrange the contact this morning."

...

"Well, we can't rush development at the moment. Since the outside world has been cut off, we should spend money to become stronger as soon as possible."

"Just wait and see. As long as your self-developed equipment can continue to expand production, these manufacturers will rush to send you equipment in a few days."

As Jiang Hao explained the whole matter, Liu Qingyun's expression became much more relaxed.

However, Jiang Hao talked more about the development of the company. There was no immediate effect on expanding order production, and Jiang Hao really had no way to deal with this.

"Director Zhou, weren't you originally going to discuss the listing today?"

"Logically speaking, Kirin Battery is not short of funds at the moment, so going public doesn't seem to make much sense."

"You tell me first! What does the province think?"

After all, Kirin Battery is a state-owned mixed-ownership enterprise. If some things are really the ideas of the provincial leaders, Jiang Hao is too lazy to obstruct them too much.

Just like going public, although Kirin Battery is not short of money, it is not a bad thing to be able to go public.

Kirin Battery's listing is no different from other companies and will definitely be on the domestic A-share market.

Being able to go public and raise a large amount of funds for the company will make it easier for Kirin Battery to unify the construction of Phase II and Phase III as soon as possible.
