Chapter 318 Science and Technology, Talent First
Lingg Aerospace is a domestic company specializing in the development and manufacture of retractable rockets.
With the continuous opening up of the country to the field of aerospace technology, a large amount of capital has begun to enter the field of private aerospace technology.
However, the inflow of a large amount of capital will not only push the rapid development of this industry, but also bring some other problems. For example, some people are crazy to raise money from the capital market under the gimmick of developing aerospace technology, and then make a second kick to listen to the sound or something.
Gu Zhenyu is known as the first post-80s generation to study rocket technology in the domestic civil aerospace field. He was previously unknown before the industry was not opened to the civilian market. It wasn't until this field opened up that he suddenly became a celebrity in the capital market and even in the media.
The entrepreneurial R&D team of only twenty or thirty people has received hundreds of millions of investments. Subsequently, the entrepreneurial R&D team led by him expanded rapidly, adding hundreds of people in a very short period of time, and has received several investments.
With the support of so many talents and funds, Gu Zhenyu is no longer satisfied with the development of ordinary rockets, but intends to follow the example of SPX and develop return-type reusable rockets.
It is also because of the continuous success of SPX's Falcon series rockets, coupled with the opening up of relevant domestic departments to the aerospace field and the continuous increase in support for private rocket and satellite companies. Therefore, the capital market is very optimistic about this industry, and has made several additional investments.
With these large amounts of funds, Gu Zhenyu was able to recruit troops and horses, and soon made progress in this regard. Several returnable rockets they have developed are already capable of achieving air stagnation, mid-air transitions, and autonomous landings of 500 meters and 1,000 meters.
After these successes, he confidently began to build his first practical retractable rocket.
However, this time it was not so smooth, and the launch failed three times.
For the first time, the rocket exploded directly in the air at an altitude of 8,000 meters, which was equivalent to setting off a huge firework. Fortunately, this time it was a test, but it was carried with the payload they put on themselves, so there was no big loss.
The second time, the rocket malfunctioned at the time of the separation of the first and second stages. The second stage failed to ignite, causing the rocket to crash, and an experimental satellite of a domestic university on board also crashed. But fortunately, there is a huge amount of insurance, and they don't have to worry about paying for it.
One or two major failures have made some capital cautious, and there are even those who have already planned to withdraw. It was also at this time that Wu Hao and the others made a strong debut and decided to buy them. But as a result, Gu Zhenyu did not agree, and some of the capital behind him was also unwilling.
Seeing this, Wu Hao and the others temporarily put it down and turned to other private rocket R&D and manufacturing teams.
Until the end of July this year, Gu Zhenyu and his team carried out the third retractable rocket launch, and the rocket finally successfully put the satellite into orbit. Unfortunately, the satellite malfunctioned for some unknown reason and lost contact. The first stage of the rocket also had an accident when it was landed and recovered, and the sudden shutdown of the engine caused the first stage of the rocket to fall directly from a place of one or two thousand meters, and it fell to pieces.
It was only a little bit before they succeeded. But for the behind-the-scenes capital who only focuses on results, they have gradually lost patience. Two important investors have divested their capital, casting a shadow over their entire company.
It was at this time that Wu Hao and the others reproposed the acquisition plan, but they didn't expect this Gu Zhenyu to refuse again.
The successive failures of acquisition plans made Wu Hao lose patience. Without you Zhang Butcher, I wouldn't be able to eat hairy pigs.
Hearing him suddenly ask about this, Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "Yes, Gu Zhenyu's attitude is very resolute, it is okay to invest in shares, but not to acquire."
Our takeover team is going to start with a few of the shareholders on his team who are starting the business together to see if we can exert some influence on each other. ”
Wu Hao waved his hand when he heard this: "No need, is it really impossible for us to leave him." Arrogant and arrogant, nothing good will come of it.
How are we recruiting people and specialists in space technology? ”
Zhang Jun was not surprised by his decision, but nodded and smiled: "I incorporated two entrepreneurial teams of college students, and then recruited some relevant experts and talents engaged in this area, and now there are about sixty or seventy people."
Except for some who are out of town, most of them have come to Anxi, and are now conducting basic research in a rented factory on the Nanshan side.
However, these people's mood has not been high recently, and we just recruited them, but we have not learned from them and assigned mission objectives for a long time, so these people are relatively scattered.
A few days ago, I heard that there were still a few people who wanted to resign, and I was temporarily persuaded to do so. ”
Hearing Zhang Jun's explanation, Wu Hao thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "It can't be delayed any longer, the relevant projects must be started as soon as possible."
In this way, since Gu Zhenyu is unwilling to be acquired by us, then we don't need him. Well, you can't just let it go.
While they've just failed and their team is a little shaky, you can ask HR to find a way to dig into the wall. Especially the R&D personnel of key technologies in the engine and rocket flight control and overall design and development projects, find a way to dig a few more back.
Tell Lin Jianliang that this is the talent we urgently need, and it is related to our future development plan. Therefore, the conditions can be relaxed and generous, as long as the talents are brought back, the rest is easy to say.
The value they will create in the future is much higher than this salary.
Of course, you also have to look at the people to dig, don't try to come back with some wine bags and rice bags. ”
"Okay, I'll talk to Lin Jianliang when I go back in a while." Zhang Jun nodded seriously in response.
Wu Hao nodded and continued: "In addition, we must increase the recruitment of outstanding talents in this field. The benefits are a little higher, and I don't believe that those talents in major research institutions are not tempted.
Not only that, but the recruitment plan for new graduates in major aerospace technology and engineering fields will continue to expand. Science and technology, talent first. Only by cultivating our own team of high-quality young scientific and technological talents can we make a difference in this field. ”
After hearing his words, Zhang Jun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll discuss with Lin Jianliang when I go back." It's senior year's school recruitment season, and I asked him to pay more attention to it.
However, we can't ignore the recruitment of these talents, the factory they rented over there in Nanshan is a bit simple, and I am afraid it is not a place to stay for a long time. ”
Wu Hao thought for a while, and then said to him: "In this way, let's go and have a look tomorrow and meet these people by the way." ”
