Chapter 130
Zhou Feng was discussing the future development of Kaoshan Village with the old Party Secretary when there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw a young man. His clothes were washed white, but he was very neat. He was carrying a large bag.
"Who are you looking for?" Zhou Feng was a little surprised. This person looked unfamiliar. Judging from his attire, he obviously came from far away. He didn't know why he came to Kaoshantun.
"Hello, comrade. Is the Hong Kong Zhengfeng Company located in this village?"
Zhou Feng looked at Chen Jianshe when he heard this. It turned out that this man came for Zhengfeng. He must have found the address in the newspaper.
"Yes, Hong Kong Island's Zhengfeng Company is in this village. What can I do for you?"
The young man was very happy when he heard that he had found the right place:"Great, I finally found it. Can you tell me where the factory is? I'm here to apply for a job."
Zhou Feng secretly said,"As expected," but he still had some doubts about the identity of this person. The previous external recruitment announcement clearly stated that one must first submit a letter to receive a notification before the interview process can begin.
The reply letter that Zhou Feng gave to Zhao Xiaoqiang had just been sent out less than three days ago. This person obviously did not come after receiving a notification, and he informed those who passed the screening to have an interview at the end of the month. At this time, the factory has not been completed.
Chen Jianshe obviously also knew Zhou Feng's arrangement and said,"Comrade, let me see your letter of introduction."
The young man took out the letter of introduction from his pocket without any hesitation and handed it to Chen Jianshe.
After reading it, Chen Jianshe nodded at Zhou Feng.
Zhou Feng was also helpless. Since there was no problem with the person, he would talk to him first. He couldn't say that you did not meet the interview procedures and asked you to come back after a while. That would be too rigid.
"Hello, comrade. I am Zhou Feng, the person in charge of Zhengfeng Company. Welcome to Kaoshantun."
Looking at Zhou Feng's outstretched hand, the young man was stunned for a moment before he stretched out his hand to shake it. He never expected that he would meet the person in charge of Zhengfeng when he came to the village branch, and he was still so young.
Looking at Zhou Feng's outfit, it was completely the outfit of an authentic villager. How could he look like a big boss from Hong Kong Island?
The young man who was still proud of his decisiveness on the way here felt that he was a little careless for the first time.
Not to mention Zhou Feng, even Chen Jianshe saw the young man's distrust and said with a smile:
"I am Chen Jianshe, the village party secretary of Kaoshantun. I can prove that the person in front of you is the real person in charge of Zhengfeng Company. If you have anything to say, just tell him. You guys chat while I go out for a walk.
The young man was a little embarrassed when he heard what Chen Jianshe said. After Chen Jianshe closed the door of his office, he said embarrassedly:
"That week...Comrade Zhou, it's not that I don't trust you. I saw a photo in the newspaper saying that the boss of Zhengfeng is a middle-aged man named Li...."
Zhou Feng naturally wouldn't care about this, but he didn't have the leisure to chat with this person. It would be useless to talk more if it wasn't appropriate.
"It doesn't matter. Mr. Li is the general manager of the company and has returned to Hong Kong Island. Please take a seat."
When the young man sat down, Zhou Feng asked,"Would you like to introduce yourself?"
The young man had obviously never experienced such a scene before. He sat on the chair with his back straight, put his bag aside, put his hands on his knees, and began to introduce himself.
But he was interrupted by Zhou Feng as soon as he said a word.
"What's your name?"
The young man obviously didn't expect Zhou Feng to be so interested in his name, and repeated:"My name is Wu Congzhou."
This surprised Zhou Feng. He didn't expect that Wu Congzhou, who he had found in a pile of letters two days ago, would be sitting in front of him so soon.
"Are you Wu Congzhou from the Institute of Huazhong University of Science and Technology?"
Wu Congzhou nodded honestly:"Yes, do you know me?"
Zhou Feng smiled and said:"We have received your letter and sent a reply. I didn't expect you to come so soon!"
"Ah, sorry, I left without receiving a reply, I just wanted to come earlier."
This really surprised Zhou Feng. Among the pile of letters, Wu Congzhou left the most profound impression on him, not only because he was from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, but also because Wu Congzhou's resume made Zhou Feng very interested.
Wu Congzhou wrote in the letter that he was good at personal computer architecture design and had participated in the design and development of domestic small computers.
"Do you know Professor Shen Guangming?"
When Wu Congzhou heard Shen Guangming's name, his eyes lit up, then dimmed and nodded.
Zhou Feng knew there was a story behind this, but he didn't ask much. He would find out later when he had time.
"Why did you give up your job at Huake College and come to Zhengfeng Company?"
Wu Congzhou was silent for a while, then said firmly:"For money."
"Are you short of money?"
Wu Congzhou nodded and shook his head:"I want to know how to make money, make a lot of money!"
Zhou Feng was a little disappointed after hearing this. He thought that a young man who dreamed of getting rich had come, but he suddenly understood after listening to Wu Congzhou's explanation.
Wu Congzhou is a member of Professor Shen Guangming's project team. The reason why he came to Kaoshantun to apply for the job was entirely because of the reputation of the Hong Kong Island company.
As for why he is obsessed with making a lot of money, it is because of the project of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. When Zhou Feng was in Beijing, Professor Shen was studying personal computer research and development. This project is also the recent research and development direction of their project team.
However, after making the preliminary theoretical design, the link of applying for funds was stuck, and finally ended in vain. This is not the first time.
Wu Congzhou didn't understand this. He didn't understand why foreign countries could implement wild ideas and try them out, and finally produce mature research and development results.
Why is it so difficult in China? There are layers of approvals and layers of blocks. No matter how mature your ideas are, ten of them can succeed. Nine were cut.
He consulted with many experts and scholars he was familiar with about this issue, and finally came to a conclusion, which was monetization.
It was not because of how advanced the concepts abroad were, but because of their utilitarianism. From research and development to the launch of finished products, their ultimate goal was to create value through the results, and then feed back to research and development design.
Domestic institutions, no matter what they were, were more inclined to academia, and even felt that doing research for money was a shameful thing.
Wu Congzhou had thought so before, but when he saw the hard work of countless people die again and again because of money, his mind changed.
He felt that he needed to find a way to monetize research, and happened to see the news about Hong Kong Island companies, and he wrote a letter on impulse.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was what he wanted. Domestic companies had too many constraints, and only Hong Kong Island companies could let go, and then he resolutely resigned and went north with his bag.
He had to find a way out.
