President Pan turned down all the meetings and itineraries and personally accompanied Chen Xia to visit the laboratory in Qizhijiang University.

"Xiao Chen, let me introduce you to this laboratory, which is the exclusive laboratory of the Department of Electronic Engineering of our university, mainly engaged in the research, design, manufacturing, application and development of various electronic equipment and information systems."

Chen Xia nodded in confusion and thought to himself, why are you talking to me about these things? I am not an engineering student, my elder brother, I am a medical student, okay?

Principal Pan smiled and introduced himself:

"I know that there are several small appliance manufacturers under your company's name. Do you think, if you want to export to the European and American markets, how can you always use the current old small appliances? Of course, you must have your own unique design and advanced technology so that you can produce products that Europeans and Americans like. Are you right?"

Chen Xia nodded mechanically: "Principal Pan is right, yes."

"So Xiao Chen, that's what I think. Otherwise, your group can cooperate with our electronic engineering laboratory to jointly develop new products. Then you can provide funds, we provide technology, and the patent belongs to you, how about it?"

Chen Xia's eyes were like Brother Yixiu, and he lit up with a tingling sound.

Yes, the reason why he recruited so many college students this time was actually because he wanted to design and invent new products himself.

At present, whether it is a textile company or a small department store, all the products are processed according to the samples provided by Walmart. What others need will be produced by Siji Group.

This model is fine in a short period of time, but it will definitely not work in a long period of time.

Many products are patented, and Walmart has no right to authorize them to Four Seasons Group. If you sue, you can kill people.

Even if there is no lawsuit, the Four Seasons Group always passively accepts it, which is completely limited by people.

If one day the competitors use new products, new designs, and equally low prices to go to the public relations Walmart supermarket, Walmart will find it difficult to resist this temptation.

There is no way, business is about business, favors belong to favors, and business belongs to business.

So Chen Xia wanted to form a new R&D department and design department in several branches,

We must start to make self-generated and develop new products independently.

Just like the two are in love, Walmart is a man now, Four Seasons Group is a woman, men are developing better and better, but women are relying on their old capital, so sooner or later this woman will be dumped.

The best way is to follow Walmart and provide them with the latest and cheapest products, so that Walmart can in turn begged for Four Seasons Group, which is inseparable from Four Seasons Group. This is the real success.

As for small household appliances, such as rice cookers, electric ovens, microwave ovens, juicers, egg beaters, soy milk machines, hair dryers, electric irons, etc., they all count.

We can fully rely on the "electronic engineering laboratory" of Zhijiang University and the many laboratories behind it to develop more new products.

For example, the very popular leafless fan in later generations, the main technical difficulty was only one air multiplier, and the principle was nothing more than using the technology in jet engines and automobile turbochargers.

This technology is simple and difficult. After all, China still has technical reserves in this area, although this technology may still be in the hands of the military.

Chen Xia has no choice, but Zhijiang University may not be able to do it. Maybe he has this kind of technical reserve in secret?

So Chen Xia made up his mind that this cooperation could be carried out.

Then Principal Pan took Chen Xia to the textile laboratory on the third floor.

"Xiao Chen, this laboratory is amazing. It is one of the most advanced textile laboratories in China. After all, our Zhijiang Province has always been a major textile province.

Not only can we design the latest fabrics here, but we can also cooperate with mechanical engineering laboratories to develop the most advanced textile machines.

For example, we are developing a brand new rapier machine. Look, is Siji Textile Company just professional and corresponding?"

Principal Pan introduced and looked at Chen Xia's expression carefully.

The old man is the best at observing his expressions. When he saw the light in Chen Xia's eyes, he knew that his hard work today was not in vain.

However, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he patiently introduced Chen Xia to the laboratory one by one, and even violated some confidentiality requirements and showed Chen Xia the latest research results of some laboratories.

The purpose is to make this boss Chen hook up.

Sure enough, after a long time of visit, Chen Xia had made up his mind to cooperate fully with Zhijiang University. Since Four Seasons Group does not have the R&D capabilities, it will take a chicken to lay eggs.

It is also a good idea to rely on Zhijiang University’s scientific research strength for his use first.

But Chen Xia didn't say anything, even if he was moved, he would be beaten to death and not speak first.

Whoever speaks first means who loses the initiative.

Principal Pan waited for a long time, but did not see Chen Xia taking the initiative to ask about cooperation matters. He sighed in his heart.

I thought to myself that I could build up such a big stall, how could it be a fool, a little fox?

"Xiao Chen, look, since you can cooperate with medical universities, can you also cooperate with our Zhijiang University? Don't worry, as long as you provide funds, we guarantee that you can get satisfactory patents and products?"

The senior officials at the deputy ministerial level said so clearly. What else could Chen Xia do? Of course, he agreed.

"President Pan, there is no problem in cooperation. We are obliged to support our provincial universities. However, there is a principle that the results of research must belong to our Four Seasons Group regardless of success or failure."

Principal Pan was happy as soon as he heard this:

"Of course, we are a university. Why do we need these research results and patents? We cannot eat or use them."

Chen Xia thought to himself, it was thanks to the 1980s. In later generations, those university professors were not like teachers, all of them were entrepreneurs and capitalists.

The master's and doctoral students they taught became the most exploited "off-staff employees" in their company. They studied hard and became free to work for their supervisors.

What good research results do students have and what patents do they have? These professors will take for themselves.

Then you either sell it to other companies or open a factory to produce it yourself so that you won’t be foolish about handing over the patent.

As for how many projects Siji Group can cooperate with Zhijiang University, the company's senior management needs to choose from it themselves, so let the professional matters be left to professionals.

Chen Xiacai came out of Zhijiang University and was immediately pulled away by the presidents of several other universities.

They all showed off their own unique skills, thinking that they could be attracted by the Four Seasons Group, so they could have a good New Year next.

This recruitment also kicked off the full cooperation between Siji Group and scientific research schools.

Later, several backward factories under the Four Seasons Group quickly underwent earth-shaking changes in production processes and equipment.
