Wen Liang first visited the production line and looked at the finished ICMM01 machine, and then went to the large conference room in the office building to listen to reports from various departments. Yin Yong personally gave the first PPT product demonstration. Throughout the whole process, Wen Liang was very gentle, smiling, listening carefully, occasionally interrupting, but asking the most critical details, and even talking about the technical difficulties of the 10,000-port machine. At that time, the switch was expanding from 2,000 ports to 10,000 ports. The main solution was to use an internal high-speed bus to connect multiple 1,000-port switching modules together. For example, Hujiang Bell's S140 and Fujitsu's switches all had this structure, and the fastest public bus standard was Intel's Multibus II bus. However, Shangning Hi-Tech's technology was based on the failure of Multibus research and development, and it turned to optical fiber to connect multiple modules. This was a bold idea, because optical transmission technology was not very mature, and only AT&T's No. 5 switch used optical transmission technology in switches. However, it was also because of this that a platform was built for subsequent remote modules, access networks, optical transmission products and other terminals, which opened up the situation and won time and the initiative.
After all the reports were completed, Wen Liang thanked everyone for their hard work and efforts during this period, and gave a high evaluation to the IMCC01 project team. However, he also pointed out that the successful development of the program-controlled machine was only the first step in a long journey. There were still many problems and difficulties to be faced. The most important task at present was how to successfully sell the product and occupy the market. Finally, he pointed to the man in his thirties who came with him and said, "This is Mr. Xi Jingwei, a master I invited from the Post and Telecommunications Industry Corporation. He is a man of great talent. In the future, he will be mainly responsible for the marketing department of Chuangtu. I hope everyone can actively cooperate with his work."
Yin Yong was fine, as he focused on the technical aspects and did not have excessive desire for power over other things. However, Chen Yongqing was not so comfortable. He originally wanted to push a subordinate brought from Shangning to the marketing department as the director. In this way, Mao Zhanjiang from the production department was personally recruited by him, Jiang Yu was watching over the R&D department, and Lin Qing from the human resources department was Jiang Yu's classmate. With the marketing department, Yin Yong, the general manager, could be sidelined and become the de facto top leader. But Wen Liang did not leak any information in advance and suddenly inserted an outsider monk to occupy the core department such as the marketing department, which completely frustrated his wishful thinking.
Xi Jingwei stood up, pushed up the frame of his glasses, and said amiably: "President Wen is flattering me, colleagues, please don't take it too seriously. I don't have many extraordinary talents, but I do have many shortcomings. If I have been sorry for anything in the future, please feel free to criticize and correct me."
The China Post and Telecommunications Industry Corporation is a state-owned enterprise directly under the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. The HJD04 switch successfully developed in 1991 was jointly developed by it and the School of Information Engineering, breaking through foreign technological barriers. It is known as the "atomic bomb" in the field of program-controlled switching. Wu Jiangxing, who was in charge of leading the development of the 04 machine at the time, was awarded the rank of major general. This shows the status of this company in the industry.
Xi Jingwei graduated from Xichuan Electronic College and worked in post and telecommunications bureaus in many provinces and cities. He was transferred to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in 1990 and joined the Posts and Telecommunications Industry Corporation in 1994. He mainly participated in foreign investment negotiations, technology introduction, joint ventures and cooperation. He has a wide network of contacts and abundant government resources in the domestic post and telecommunications system, and has a deep and systematic understanding of technology. He is one of the rare candidates who can combine the two, and will play a vital role in the implementation of Wen Liang's next plan.
The reason why Xi Jingwei was invited was, of course, because of Wan Siwei's strong recommendation. Wen Liang found him and said that he wanted to invite such a person to Chuangtu to help, and asked Wan Siwei to give a few names for reference. He recommended Xi Jingwei without even thinking about it, and his admiration was beyond words. What is particularly rare is that the relationship between the two seems to be quite ordinary. In Wan Siwei's own words, if someone else came to him for someone, he would never recommend Xi Jingwei, because Xi Jingwei offended a vice minister in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, so he was demoted to the Industrial Corporation, and he didn't need to get involved. But Wen Liang is naturally different from others. To develop an enterprise, real talents are needed, and Xi Jingwei is the first choice!
Lin Qing's eyes flickered over Chen Yongqing's face with interest, secretly thinking that this ruthless move should keep him safe and honest for a while. From now on, Yin Yong will be in charge of technology, Chen Yongqing will be in charge of production, and Xi Jingwei will be in charge of the market. With the three pillars in place, Chuangtu, a newly launched carriage, will no longer have to worry about falling apart. The means of this big boss are really powerful!
It was almost noon after the meeting, and Wen Liang suggested going to the cafeteria for lunch. Chuangtu's cafeteria is open to employees for free, with rich varieties and delicious food, and is loved by everyone. However, in order to avoid waste, strict dining standards are stipulated. If leftovers are found, there will be corresponding punishment measures. A large group of people entered the cafeteria and immediately became the focus of attention, especially Wen Liang walking in the middle, like a star surrounded by stars, which aroused the curiosity of many people.
"What's your name? How long have you been here at Chuangtu?" Wen Liang asked a young man who had just turned around with a plate of food at the window. The young man looked up and saw Yin Yong, Chen Yongqing and other company bosses standing beside him. He was startled and looked at Wen Liang without daring to speak.
Yin Yong smiled and said, "This is President Wen. Just answer whatever he asks you."
"Hello, Mr. Wen. My name is Yang Yixiu." The young man said with a bit of fear: "Including today, I have been in Chuangtu for exactly four months."
"Ikkiu?" Wen Liang smiled and said, "That's a good name. He must be a very smart person. Which department does he work in?"
"When I was little, my father thought I was too stupid to study, and Ikkyu was very smart, so he gave me this name." The young man seemed a little embarrassed, but when he talked about work, his language gradually became fluent and full of passion, saying: "I am in the switch business department, doing line testing and module connection of IMCC01..."
"Work hard, Chuangtu will provide you with the best platform to realize your dreams, and we hope you can contribute your talents and strength to the company."
The young man was greatly encouraged, his face flushed, and he nodded vigorously!
Wen Liang turned his gaze to a tall and burly employee, pointed at his plate, and said with a smile: "You saw so much meat, I guess you are new here, right?"
The tall employee scratched his head and said honestly: "Yes, I just joined the company yesterday..."
Everyone laughed, even Lin Qing who was secretly observing Wen Liang couldn't help but smile. This big boss, besides being powerful, was actually quite interesting.
After returning from the restaurant, everyone went back to their respective offices to continue working. Chen Yongqing went to the Municipal Post and Telecommunications Bureau to attend a meeting that he had to attend. Wen Liang took Yin Yong and Jiang Yu to the sample machine room. Xi Jingwei followed Lin Qing to the Human Resources Department to go through the entry procedures, and then went to the Marketing Department to meet with his subordinates.
After finishing all this, Lin Qing sorted out the documents, took the part that needed Yin Yong's signature and went to the general manager's office on the top floor. After knocking on the door, there was no response. Lin Qing thought that he and Wen Liang were still in the factory, so she opened the door and put the documents on the desk. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard Wen Liang's voice coming from the balcony on the right.
Yin Yong's office is not a purely enclosed one. On the right side of the room, there is a frosted glass door leading to the balcony outside. On the balcony, there is a round stone table and two or three stone benches. You can sit down and drink tea, breathe fresh air, and look out at the surrounding scenery to relax. However, Yin Yong spends much more time in the R&D department than in the office, not to mention this balcony, which he has almost never set foot on.
Out of professional ethics, Lin Qing should leave immediately, and even if she didn't leave, she should make a statement to show her presence. But Wen Liang's sudden words made her hesitate, and she couldn't help but listen out of curiosity.
"Tell me, who gave you the idea to make such a big fuss today?" (To be continued)
