The journey starts from the Titanic

"It's still drizzle? My salary is only five thousand dollars a year!" Xu Zhouyang said nuisancely.

"Hey. Zhou Yang, don't worry, you have done so beautifully this time. Go back and increase your salary. Double this year and double it tomorrow. If you care about my salary the next year, don't blame me for despising you. Situ Nan smiled.In my heart, I laughed at Xu Zhouyang's poor mentality.

"Why?" Xu Zhouyang asked.

"At that time, the company will give some shares to the management, and you can be regarded as a technical investment. I estimate that the business will be very good this year and the next two years. There will be no less dividends at that time. You still run to control my salary. Make me look down on you?"

Situ Nan explained.

"This sounds good, but let's talk about it when it can be realized! Anyway, you are the boss, you have the final say." Xu Zhouyang said indifferently.

Compared with money, he still cares more about his research work.

"I don't care about the car. Anyway, things are almost done. I have hired many engineers who are willing to go to Los Angeles with me. I will go back in a few days.

By the way, you promised my research funding back then, now it should be... I have already ordered the equipment in Chicago, and after a few days, I can send the balance back to Los Angeles."

After Xu Zhouyang finished speaking, staring at Situ Nan, his expression was a bit nervous, for fear that this guy would regret it.

If it hadn't been for this guy to foolishly said that as long as he found enough talents, he would provide funds and equipment to conduct power research, and he would not have listened to his head and went to the east to dig people.

Although automobile engine is also a kind of internal combustion engine, Xu Zhouyang is still obsessed with large-scale power research, such as ship power, engineering machinery power, aircraft power and so on.

In Chicago, Xu Zhouyang has found many like-minded experts, and they have also agreed to join the Cummins Institute for Dynamics, which has a Berkeley background.

As for the research on cars in Detroit, Xu Zhouyang didn't plan to pay attention to it.

Just like completing a task to receive a reward, Xu Zhouyang couldn't wait to get enough funds from the big benefactor of Situ Nan to return to the warm Los Angeles.

"I have prepared it for you a long time ago. You don't need to look at me with such suspicion. My reputation has always been good."

Situ Nan said angrily, and under Xu Zhouyang's gaze, he signed a check for 2.5 million US dollars.

But letting a proud engineer bow his head to himself, a copper-smelly businessman, was also something Situ Nan was proud of.

But I can only be secretly refreshed in my heart, not too proud.

Speaking of technical research, you have to rely on experts like Xu Zhouyang who are obsessed with research. Situ Nan can also talk about some general furs when it comes to industrial technology, but he will stop cooking when he starts. He is not that piece of material.

Therefore, it makes sense to leave professional things to professional people, but there are not many people who can do it in practice. People who feel good about themselves tend to be more dictated.

Situ Nan then painted a beautiful picture: "Zhou Yang, don't worry, I have always supported your research, right? We have always cooperated very well.

When it comes to technical research, I am not as good as you, but when it comes to investment vision, there are not many people in this world who are better than me."

Situ Nan paused and continued to "fire": "With the progress of mankind, the future society needs stronger power. In the past one or two hundred, steam engines have become popular, but in this century, steam engines will be eliminated sooner or later. Yes, the world of internal combustion engines is only automobiles, airplanes, and ships need more powerful engines.

Therefore, it is imperative for a businessman like me to invest in internal combustion engine power, and California is my ideal airplane, automobile, and shipbuilding center, so the determination to invest in Cummins power is unchangeable.

Speaking of which I am more confident than you!I want Cummins Power to develop into the largest and best power provider in the world.how about it?Shocked?"

Situ Nan asked, licking his face.What I said earlier was quite exciting, but adding this sentence later made Xu Zhouyang disgusting-this guy is showing off!

"Virtue! I don't bother to care about you! Just remember to invest the money in the research institute."

Xu Zhouyang rolled his eyes, but he was still shocked by Situ Nan's ambition.

But this is also a moment, he is a technical researcher, the most important thing to avoid is to boast, and it is better to work on the ground.

He didn't care much about Situ Nan's lofty ambitions, even if Situ Nan had blown the cowhide, it didn't matter, he only cared about his own research with the funding guarantee.

"Oh!" Situ Nan was boring, but he didn't feel annoyed. As his status rose, the people around him could joking with him less and less.

"Speaking of Cummins Power Research Institute, I ask you to focus on the power of aircraft engines, trucks, bulldozers and other diesel engines. In these two aspects, it is best to produce reliable products in the short term. As for the results, I can also explain to the board of directors. No matter how much funding is then there will be no problem."

Situ Nan said.

This is a bit of warning to Xu Zhouyang, that is to say, Laozi sees you pay for your work. Don't even think about taking money from Laozi if you don't do well.

Situ Nan would also use carrots and sticks. He just wanted to put a little pressure on Xu Zhouyang.But everyone is smart, so don't talk too much.

Having said this, Situ Nan suddenly remembered. It turned out that he also invested a lot of money in Li Renqiao for chemical drug research. It has been two or three years, and a lot of money has been spent, but in the end he didn't put any farts.

Situ Nan almost forgot that there was such a thing.It is said that Li Renqiao often misappropriated project funds to conduct his own research?

Situ Nan didn't want to see this kind of hurtful character in Xu Zhouyang.

"Don't worry! You must be convinced, just wait for my good news." Xu Zhouyang said.

He thought to himself: A board of directors with farts, the company's affairs only need you to nod.Don't think I don't know you, don't you just want to put pressure on me?

But like Situ Nan's business ambitions, Xu Zhouyang's ambitions in technical research are not small.Not only aircraft engines, diesel engines, but also marine gas turbines are also on his research list.

His ideal is to establish the best power research institute in the world, just like Bell Labs in the field of electronic communications.

It’s just that I couldn’t talk too much before I got results.

And if you want to achieve these goals, the current technical strength alone is not enough, so in the end Xu Zhouyang "grinds" a check for $500,000 from Situ Nan, which is specifically used to recruit talents. Funding.

Chapter 106-Davis Anderson

the next morning.

Sorting out the suit, um, the tie is very vigorous, and the leather shoes are polished brightly, Davis Anderson knocked open Situ Nan's office with some anxiety.

This is an office building located at 238 Walls Avenue in the heart of Wayne County, Detroit. It has been bought by Xu Zhouyang at the order of Situ Nan.

I don't know why, but he feels a little nervous like going to an interview for the first time when he graduated from college.Last time, he knocked on the door of General Motors, but this time it was another boss who was interested in the auto industry.

Of course, this is Davis's feeling.

"Mr. William, hello." Davis asked.

"Yeah. Davis, please sit down!" Situ Nan said.

"Is coffee okay?" Situ Nan asked.

He ordered the staff outside to bring the coffee in.

"Okay." Davis sat down respectfully, holding his breath, trying to keep his waist straight.

During this period of time, after he helped Xu Zhouyang buy several auto parts factories, it was because Xu Zhouyang was generous in his actions, and he was quick and hardly bargaining.

Although he knows more about technical people than he does, it's hard to say about other things.

Fortunately, I just came out of General Motors, and I was so furious. I met Xu Zhouyang by chance. I was also very interested in going to GM to dig people, so I worked so hard.

Of course, in private, Davis also got some benefits.(This is a personal secret, it's irrelevant.)
