Li Baobao's sudden pregnancy immediately made Qin Han alert.
After taking Li Baobao to Amanyangyun the next day, he asked Song Yuanyuan, Chen Xi and Tang Tang to take time out to go to the hospital for a check-up.
Maybe someone else has won the prize too?
After taking Li Baobao over, he arranged a room for her.
Qin Han called Su Wanru and asked her to help find some professionals in maternity care.
When Su Wanru heard this, she was furious.
"Come on! Are you kidding me? I'm your senior advisor and the head of your think tank, not your babysitter! You're looking for me for this kind of job???"
"Boss, did you drink too much last night and are still hungover? I suggest you get some more sleep!"
After saying that, Su Wanru hung up the phone without any hesitation.
After the call was hung up, Qin Han felt a little helpless.
There is no way. What does it mean to be arrogant because of one’s talent?
This is probably it.
As a subordinate of his, Su Wanru dared to disobey? Should he fire her?
Qin Han really didn’t have this idea!
He is now becoming more and more dependent on Su Wanru, and basically all external investment matters can be handed over to Su Wanru.
Even the development of the company requires Su Wanru to communicate constantly with a group of elites in the think tank, conduct brainstorming and implement the plan.
If Su Wanru was gone, many things would have to be put on hold or even unable to be carried out.
Okay, then let's find someone else.
thinking about it,
Qin Han thought of Shen Lan. She was very smart and an excellent student. Now she was his personal secretary, so it was appropriate to entrust this kind of thing to her.
So he called Shen Lan over and asked her to find some professionals in maternity care.
After finishing the housework,
Qin Han went to Feng Qianhua's house again. Although the three of them were in the same room last night, Qin Han had always slept in the same bed with Li Baobao, while Feng Qianhua was alone in the empty room. She was full of resentment and in urgent need of comfort.
When he arrived at Feng Qianhua's house, Feng Qianhua had already changed into his battle uniform.
She was wearing a burgundy high-slit backless dress, a pair of black fishnet stockings, and ten-centimeter-high stiletto heels.
sexy!
lure!
charming!
enchanting!
These words that can surge one's hormones are well reflected in her.
Qin Han was immediately stunned when he saw it.
"Jie Jie Jie..."
"Ghost! Give me your life! Eat my gang..."
He rushed forward and hugged Feng Qianhua.
Feng Qianhua was picked up by him by the waist, her red lips slightly raised, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
She took the opportunity to hook her arms around Qin Han's neck, her high heels dangling gently in the air, the tips of her shoes almost touching his suit pants.
"Weren't you quite patient yesterday?" She whispered in his ear, her fingertips lightly stroking the back of his neck, "What's wrong? Didn't the baby feed you enough?"
Qin Han chuckled and pushed her against the mirror in the entrance.
The mirror reflected the overlapping figures of the two people, and Feng Qianhua's red dress burned his reason like a flame.
"Fairy, are you trying to rebel?" He said in a low, hoarse voice, and his palms reached into her high-slit skirt, stroking the fishnet stockings on her legs with his fingertips.
Feng Qianhua snorted softly, and opened her red lips slightly: "Rebellion? Who left me aside last night? Huh?"
She deliberately rubbed his calf with the heel of her high heels, not too hard or too light, but enough to make his breathing stop.
Qin Han's eyes darkened. He grabbed her wrist and pressed it against the mirror. He leaned over and bit her earlobe. "It looks like you really need to be punished."
"Who's afraid of who~~~" Feng Qianhua's voice was sticky.
Qin Han started laughing.
……
After playing cards for a few days,
Qin Han got back to work. He invited Li Zhen from Gaoke to come over, as well as Lei Bushi from Rice.
Qin Han hosted the two and invited them to play at the Binhai Golf Club in Shanghai.
Playing is secondary, negotiation is primary.
After a day of repeated discussions and consultations, the three parties finally reached an agreement.
The three parties jointly established a battery research center to jointly develop and research new energy batteries. Dami Group invested 10 billion, Niu Niu Capital invested 10 billion, and Gaoke invested 10 billion and provided all supporting facilities and equipment for the battery research center, including factories, engineering teams, laboratories, etc.
The research results of the battery research center are shared by three parties, with the three parties holding shares of 30%, 30% and 40% respectively.
The main research directions of the research center are: battery safety and solid-state batteries.
The whole world now knows that the next era of new energy vehicles will be new energy vehicles equipped with solid-state batteries.
Solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes and do not contain volatile, flammable liquid electrolytes, fundamentally reducing the risk of fire and explosion caused by battery short circuits, leakage or overheating, and are especially more stable in high temperature environments or under overcharging conditions.
The battery energy density can reach 400-1000Wh/kg, which is 200-300 times that of traditional lithium batteries (about 2-3Wh/kg), significantly improving the endurance of electric vehicles or electronic devices.
Simultaneously,
The battery also does not require the diaphragm, electrolyte storage space and explosion-proof structure required for liquid electrolytes. The battery volume and weight can be further reduced, and the space utilization rate is higher.
In addition, it has strong stability, which can prevent the corrosion of liquid electrolyte to the electrode, and at the same time inhibit the volume expansion/contraction of the electrode material during charging and discharging (such as silicon-based negative electrode), slowing down the capacity decay, and the cycle life can reach thousands of times (traditional batteries are about 500-1000 times).
Other than that,
It charges faster, is more efficient, and is more environmentally friendly. There is no liquid electrolyte pollution during the production process, and recycling of retired batteries is simpler, which is in line with the trend of green energy.
It can be said that once solid-state batteries can be mass-produced and the cost is not too high.
Then this is an energy revolution!!
It will not only affect the automotive industry, but will also affect countless areas.
If artificial intelligence is a part of a country's destiny, then solid-state batteries are also important, and are in no way inferior to artificial intelligence.
Such an important thing,
Whether it is Qin Han, Lei Bushi or Li Zhen, they all have high hopes and are very concerned and eager.
This 30 billion yuan fund is only the first phase, and there will be a second, third, and fourth phase in the future...
Qin Han meant: there is no upper limit, until mature solid-state batteries are developed, and additional funds will be added when the research funds are used up. In addition, we will recruit top talents in this field from all over the world, regardless of cost, and invest heavily.
Lei Jun and he had the same idea. Seeing that they both agreed, Li Zhen, who was a battery manufacturer, naturally had no reason to object.
In this way, two companies were soon registered with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
One is Tianwen Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. and the other is Lightning Energy Technology Co., Ltd.
Now that the company is established, the next step is to prepare office space and set up a R&D team.
Qin Han doesn't need to worry too much about Lightning Energy Technology. He just needs to send someone to supervise it. As for Tianwen Intelligence, he needs to think about it carefully.
After some discussion with Lei Jun,
Both of them preferred Shanghai, and finally decided to set up Tianwen Intelligence's office in Shanghai.
After all, this is an international metropolis with too many talents from all walks of life. Setting up a base here can effectively tap and recruit talents from all sides, thereby strengthening its own research team.
When it comes to talent, both of them have the same opinion.
Dig whenever you can!
If you can’t dig, find another way to dig!
If you really can't dig anymore, then change to a similar target and continue digging!
In short, dig first, then cultivate it slowly!
Although this is very expensive, it is efficient enough, will save a lot of time, and can also build a team of high-end scientific research talents in a short period of time!
In order to recruit talents smoothly, Qin Han and Lei Jun decided to set up a "talent arsenal" in Tianwen Intelligence. This department has only one job, which is to find targets, formulate strategies, and successfully recruit talents.
There is only one KPI assessment for this department: the quality and quantity of recruits.
If the quality is high enough, there will be cash rewards.
If you recruit enough people, you will get cash rewards.
It is so plain, simple and crude.
What is more worth mentioning is that this "talent arsenal" has high authority, and when necessary, the two bosses Qin Han and Lei Jun can be called in to take action.
As a result, as soon as Tianwen Intelligent’s “talent arsenal” was established, the entire industry instantly exploded.
Qin Han and Lei Jun joined forces to launch a "headhunting blitzkrieg" on a global scale. Their goal was clear: to recruit all the top talents in the field of intelligent driving!
Tianwen Intelligent's "talent arsenal" is directly targeted at the world's top technology companies, starting with executives, chief scientists, and core engineers from companies such as Tesla, Waymo, Cruise, Qiandu Apollo, and Huawei Auto BU.
Tesla's autopilot team has become a key target!
The "talent pool" directly offered conditions such as doubling the annual salary + equity incentives + project dividends. Within just one week, three core algorithm engineers on Tesla's Autopilot team submitted their resignation letters.
Waymo's perception system experts were targeted by Tianwen Intelligent's "talent arsenal", which directly invested money + promised independent laboratories + global top computing power support, and forcibly poached people from Silicon Valley to Shanghai.
A technical expert from Qiandu Apollo was still hesitant, but Lei Jun personally called him and talked for half an hour. The next day, he announced that he would join Tianwen Intelligence.
In addition to corporate talents, Qinhan also targets top universities and research institutions around the world:
Tianwen Intelligence has directly established special scholarships to support doctoral students in the AI laboratories of MIT, Stanford, and Carnegie Mellon, with the condition that they must work at Tianwen Intelligence for at least three years after graduation.
Several professors from the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Shuimu Intelligent Driving Team were hired by Tianwen Intelligence as "consultants" with high salaries, but in fact they were asked to lead their teams to change jobs.
Several professors in the field of autonomous driving from the Technical University of Munich and Imperial College London were directly picked up by Tianwen Intelligent's headhunting team on a chartered plane to visit Shanghai. After seeing the laboratories and the treatment, they signed the contract on the spot.
Doubling the annual salary is a basic operation, and core talents are directly given equity and even promised independent subsidiaries in the future.
Instead of poaching individual people, they directly poach the entire team, taking both the people and the project away together.
The HR of the talent pool even directly contacted senior engineers of competitors and promised, "As long as you come, we will help you deal with the penalty for breach of the non-compete agreement."
If important target talents hesitate,
Qin Han and Lei Jun will personally take action, one talking about technological vision and the other about wealth prospects. This two-pronged approach is something few people can handle.
In just one month,
The talent turnover rate in the global intelligent driving field has soared by 300%. The HR departments of major companies have held emergency meetings and even started "anti-poaching plans"——
Tesla urgently adjusted its salary system and gave core employees a 30% salary increase, but it still couldn't stop Tianwen Intelligent from poaching its employees.
Qiandu Apollo directly sent an internal letter to warn employees to "strictly enforce the non-compete agreement", but Tianwen Intelligence had already prepared a legal team that specializes in helping people with lawsuits.
Waymo executives were furious and directly sued Tianwen Intelligent for "malicious poaching" worldwide, but Qin Han didn't care at all - sue? It's okay, the person has already been poached.
Three months later,
Tianwen Intelligent's R&D team has expanded to more than 2000 people, including: 50+ world-class autonomous driving experts, 300+ core engineers from Tesla, Waymo, Qiandu Apollo, Huawei, Dapeng and other companies, and 10+ complete technical teams (perception, decision-making, control, simulation)
Looking at the list of talents, Lei Jun couldn't help but sigh: "How can you call this poaching? You are directly emptying their technical library!"
Qin Han smiled slightly: "This is just the beginning. Next, we want to make all the smart driving companies in the world become our 'talent training base'."
"Just spending money like water..." Lei Jun showed a wry smile on his face.
Qin Han smiled and said, "Boss Lei is still short of money? Where are the cold hundreds of millions in the account?"
"Hahahaha!"
Lei Bu laughed and waved his hands, "That's just a rumor, a prank by netizens."
At this point, he suddenly had an idea and looked at Qin Han, "Boss Qin, I heard that Niuniu Capital has made outstanding achievements in the financial field?"
Ok?
Qin Han was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses.
There is no impenetrable wall in this world!
Besides, he had nothing to hide at all. On the contrary, he sometimes even deliberately revealed it to the outside world. Considering Lei Jun's identity and status, it was not surprising that he knew about it.
Qin Han nodded and said with a smile: "It's not bad, helping friends earn some pocket money."
"Pocket money?"
Lei Jun shook his head. "In half a year, the principal can be doubled by half, and the net profit is several billion. This is not pocket money! Mr. Qin, you are too modest. Excessive modesty is pride!"
"Haha, could it be that Mr. Lei is also interested?"
"That being said, who wouldn't be interested in making money?"
"So, Mr. Lei, are you planning to invest?"
Lei Jun nodded. "I heard that Mr. Qin's private placement is divided into three phases: long, medium and short. The long term is half a year, and the annualized rate of return is as high as 100%. Is this true?"
"Mr. Lei has certainly heard about it, and the person who told Mr. Lei about it would definitely not lie to him."
After a pause, Qin Han continued, "Yes, it is indeed 100%, with a guaranteed return and a steady profit! It is clearly written in the contract. The private placement has been running for more than half a year, and the situation is good at present. There has never been a case of non-payment!"
"No wonder everyone says that Mr. Qin is a financial genius. Mr. Qin, you've made me suffer by hiding this from me..."
Lei Bushi complained with a smile: "Is it because I didn't ask today that Director Qin is still not going to tell me?"
"Hahaha..." Qin Han laughed.
As the saying goes, it's not a good deal if you're the one who's trying to get something!
