247: Are the salaries of R&D staff going to double again?

"Everyone doesn't know General Manager Liu very well yet, right? Let me tell you, he is the Boss of Jiangnan Machinery Factory, the Boss of New Hope, the Boss of Tonglin New Concept, and also the Boss of Wanderer Aerospace," Cui Zhaocheng said with a smile.

Every word he spoke immediately drew exclamations of surprise from everyone, and as the exclamations grew louder, their eyes filled with admiration and worship.

"Good heavens, how is this a rich second generation? This is clearly a technology hero!"

"Yeah, any one of these companies pulled out casually could scare someone to death, let alone the fact that these famous companies all belong to him. It's too terrifying."

"Who says it's not? He looks so young, but he's doing such amazing things."

"Oh my god, he's actually my idol!"

"It seems it's really true that you can't judge a person by their appearance, just like you can't measure the sea with a dipper."

Amidst everyone's discussions, Cui Zhaocheng dropped another bomb: "General Manager Liu acquired our company with the purpose of developing a lithography machine! To break the Beautiful Country's sanctions against Longyu Company."

At this, the R&D Department erupted!

"Really? That's too great!"

"I want to follow General Manager Liu and go all out!"

"Yeah, our R&D Department's daily work isn't very meaningful, but a lithography machine is hugely significant!"

General Manager Liu saw that everyone had just been indifferent to him, but now they were all shouting about wanting to go all out with him, and he thought these people were really quite cute.

"Thank you everyone for your trust. I hope to work hard with everyone to develop a lithography machine for our Dragon Country and fight for Dragon Country!" Liu Xiaolin said excitedly.

"No problem! We must fight for it."

Everyone said in unison.

"Also, this news must be kept absolutely confidential. Only our R&D Department personnel need to know. Because the Beautiful Country's suppression of us is too severe, we have to be prepared. I believe everyone present can do a good job with this confidentiality. All right, you all get busy. I'll take General Manager Liu to visit other departments." Cui Zhaocheng was also very pleased to see everyone so enthusiastic, feeling that his subordinates were still very competitive.

Next, Cui Zhaocheng took Liu Xiaolin and Hong Tongtong on a tour of each department. Everyone was curious about the new Boss, but more than that, they were filled with admiration.

Lunch was eaten at the company cafeteria. The food at large electronics companies' cafeterias is usually pretty good, and Jiantuan Electronics' cafeteria was even better.

Cui Zhaocheng and the other two each got a plate of food, found a table, and continued chatting while eating.

"The food is good, there's my favorite braised pig trotters." Liu Xiaolin said while eating, "It tastes great."

"Of course, our cafeteria Master Fu is a famous chef I specifically invited from Jiangnan City. His salary is no lower than what hotels pay," Cui Zhaocheng said proudly.

"This skill is indeed good," Hong Tongtong said, happily gnawing on sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Oh right, I wanted to ask you something. Should the name Jiantuan Electronics Co., Ltd. be changed? I saw that some companies you acquired before changed their names, and some didn't," Cui Zhaocheng asked with concern.

Although Jiantuan Electronics was no longer his company, it was something he had painstakingly built. If the name were truly changed, he would still feel very disappointed.

Liu Xiaolin could naturally see that Cui Zhaocheng didn't want the name Jiantuan Electronics to be changed, and he himself also thought there was no need to change the name. After all, the four characters "Jiantuan Electronics" held immense value in the industry. How could this intangible asset of reputation be casually discarded?

"No, I really like the name Jiantuan Electronics. We just need to change the shareholders and legal representative," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, giving Cui Zhaocheng peace of mind.

"Really? That's great," Cui Zhaocheng happily ate a chopstick full of fish-flavored shredded pork.

"All personnel positions and salaries will basically remain unchanged, except for the R&D Department," Liu Xiaolin said.

"What about the R&D Department? They are all very dedicated," Cui Zhaocheng was surprised.

"Yes, precisely because they are all very dedicated, the salaries of all R&D Department personnel will be doubled starting today." This was Liu Xiaolin's consistent style; no matter which company he was at, he always gave R&D personnel the highest salaries.

"This is a good change! I really admire you." Cui Zhaocheng finally understood why Liu Xiaolin was so successful.

After finishing their meal, they went directly to Yongyi Tea House because the meeting time with the two experts, Li Zhaolong and Lu Yifan, was 1:30 PM. To show respect, it was best to arrive early.

Walking into the reserved private room, the server began brewing tea for them. Just as the aroma of tea filled the air, the two experts arrived.

Li Zhaolong looked very young, as if he were around thirty years old, with thick hair and bright eyes, completely different from the impression people had of a bald old gentleman.

Lu Yifan, on the other hand, had a conventional appearance, exuding the aura of a middle-aged man at first glance.

"Oh, Professor Li, Professor Lu, welcome, welcome," Cui Zhaocheng immediately stood up and went to greet them when he saw the two.

"General Manager Cui, hello, long time no see," Li Zhaolong said politely while shaking Cui Zhaocheng's hand, but his eyes looked towards Liu Xiaolin: "This must be the famous General Manager Liu, right?"

"Yes, yes, this is General Manager Liu Xiaolin." Cui Zhaocheng introduced the two parties: "This is the optical expert Li Zhaolong, and this is the microelectronics expert Lu Yifan."

What a clever child Liu Xiaolin was. He immediately walked over, bowed, and shook hands with the two experts respectively, exchanging greetings: "Hello, Professor Li, hello, Professor Lu, shaking hands is Liu Xiaolin."

These two experts had also heard of Liu Xiaolin, after all, the circle of scientists wasn't large.

"General Manager Liu, hello. You are very famous in our circle of scientists," Lu Yifan said enthusiastically while holding Liu Xiaolin's hand.

"I wouldn't dare, it's all thanks to the experts' kindness to me, allowing me to luckily accomplish a few things," Liu Xiaolin said very humbly.

"Don't be so humble. We've heard many rumors about you from Professor Niu. You are very capable," Li Zhaolong said with a smile.

"Professor Niu? Niu De?" Liu Xiaolin couldn't think of any other Professor Niu he knew besides Niu De.

"Yes, yes, it's Professor Niu De. He is a famous aerospace expert in our circle. The fact that you could invite him over shows that you are quite extraordinary," Li Zhaolong said with a smile.

"Not at all, it's mainly because Engineer Niu is dedicated to aerospace, which is why we hit it off immediately," Liu Xiaolin knew at this moment that the more humble he was, the more he could gain the other party's favor.

"That's true, Professor Niu is a madman in the aerospace field. It's also his luck to be able to join your company," Lu Yifan interjected.

"Exactly, few people can stand Niu De's stubborn temper. The fact that he can have the final say in your company is because you are his discerning Boss," Li Zhaolong said.
