Chapter 231 Talent Competition and Deepening International Cooperation

As Guangming Factory's influence in the international market continues to expand, its demand for talent is becoming increasingly urgent.

Not only do we need outstanding domestic professionals to promote the further development of technology research and development and production management, but we also need to attract top international talents to join in order to enhance our competitiveness in the global agricultural machinery industry.

At the same time, international cooperation also faces the need to deepen. On the basis of existing cooperation, we need to expand areas of cooperation and achieve more mutual benefit and win-win results.

That day, Wang Dashan was in his office, looking at the factory's talent recruitment plan and international cooperation project progress report, and fell into deep thought.

Wang Dashan knows very well that today's market competition, after all, is a competition for talent.

Although Guangming Factory has gathered a group of outstanding talents in China, if it wants to go further on the international stage, it needs more talents with international vision and advanced technical concepts to join.

At this time, Manager Zhao from the Human Resources Department knocked on the door and walked in, saying, "Director, I'm here to report to you on the recent talent recruitment situation. At present, the domestic recruitment is progressing smoothly. We have received a lot of resumes from professionals with relevant professional skills and rich experience. We are currently screening and interviewing them. However, the recruitment of international talents is more difficult. We have posted recruitment information on some internationally renowned talent recruitment platforms and contacted several well-known foreign universities and research institutions, but not many people responded."

Wang Dashan frowned and said, "Well, this is indeed a problem. It is difficult to recruit international talents. On the one hand, although our factory's international reputation has increased, it may not be attractive enough compared to those international established companies; on the other hand, it may be that the treatment and development opportunities we provide are not good enough. What do you think we should do to attract more international talents?"

Manager Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Director, I think we can start from the following aspects. First, improving treatment is a must. We must not only provide competitive salaries, but also improve the welfare system, such as providing better housing, medical care, children's education and other benefits. Secondly, we must highlight the development prospects and innovative atmosphere of our factory, so that international talents can see that they can realize their career ideals here. Finally, we can strengthen cooperation with international universities and research institutions, and cultivate and attract talents in advance by establishing scholarships, internship programs and other means."

Wang Dashan listened, nodded, and said, "You make sense. As for the salary, you can go back and discuss with the finance department to develop a reasonable plan to improve the salary level as much as possible while ensuring the economic benefits of the factory. As for the development prospects and innovation atmosphere, we must increase publicity efforts and showcase our factory's advantages and achievements through various channels. As for cooperation with international universities and research institutions, this is also the focus of our next work."

While actively promoting the recruitment of international talents, the cooperation between Guangming Factory and Germany's Said Company has also entered a deepening stage.

The two sides have achieved some phased results in joint R&D projects, but to achieve greater breakthroughs, they need to further deepen their cooperation.

Wang Dashan communicated with Hans from Germany's Said Company over the phone.

Wang Dashan said: "Mr. Hans, we have made good progress in joint R&D projects, but I think we can do better. For example, we can further expand the scope of cooperation. In addition to the current intelligent and environmentally friendly performance improvement of agricultural machinery, we can also involve the application of new materials for agricultural machinery and precision marketing in the global market."

Hans said on the other end of the phone: "Director Wang, I have the same idea. Our company also hopes to deepen cooperation with your factory and achieve more mutual benefits and win-win results. However, while expanding the scope of cooperation, we also need to consider how to better coordinate the resources and interests of both parties to ensure that the cooperation can proceed smoothly."

Wang Dashan said, "Yes, Mr. Hans. This is indeed a key issue. I think we can set up a special cooperation coordination team, composed of management and technical personnel from both sides, to coordinate various matters in the cooperation process, including resource allocation, project progress tracking, intellectual property protection and other aspects."

Hans listened and said, "Well, that's a good idea. In addition, we can also hold cooperation and exchange meetings regularly so that the technical staff and management staff of both sides can communicate in a timely manner and solve problems that arise during the cooperation process."

After some discussions, the two sides reached a preliminary intention to deepen cooperation.

Subsequently, Guangming Factory and Germany's Said Company respectively selected outstanding managers and technicians to form a cooperation coordination group.

At the first cooperation coordination group meeting, Zhao Gang, technical director of Guangming Plant, said: "Ladies and gentlemen, our goal in deepening cooperation this time is to achieve breakthroughs in more areas. In terms of new material applications, we can jointly study how to apply some new high-performance materials to key components of agricultural machinery to improve the strength, durability and environmental performance of the components. In terms of precision marketing in the global market, we need to combine the advantages of both parties in different markets to develop more precise marketing strategies and increase the market share of our products."

Peter, a technician from German Said, responded: "Director Zhao, you are right. In terms of new material applications, our company has achieved certain results in the research and development of some materials, such as a new type of carbon fiber composite material, which has the characteristics of high strength and light weight, and is very suitable for application to agricultural machinery frames and other components. We can work together to study how to better apply this material to actual production. In terms of precision marketing, our German Said has a deep foundation in the European market, and your company has advantages in Asia and other emerging markets. We can learn from each other and develop marketing strategies that better meet the needs of the global market."

Technical staff and managers from both sides had a lively discussion at the meeting and put forward their own ideas and suggestions.

When discussing the issue of intellectual property protection, Xiao Li, a legal staff member of Guangming Factory, said: "Ladies and gentlemen, intellectual property protection is of vital importance in the process of deepening cooperation. We must clearly stipulate the ownership of the intellectual property rights generated by both parties in the joint research and development projects, and how to reasonably use and protect these intellectual property rights. For example, for new technologies and new products jointly developed, we can determine the ownership of the intellectual property rights based on the contribution of both parties, and sign a detailed agreement to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of both parties."

Anna, a legal officer at German Said Company, also said: "Yes, Xiao Li. We also need to establish an intellectual property tracking and management system to monitor the use of intellectual property in real time to prevent infringement and other problems. At the same time, when cooperating with third parties or promoting products, we must clearly inform the other party of the relevant provisions on intellectual property to ensure that intellectual property is fully protected."

With the establishment of the cooperation coordination group and the convening of the first meeting, the deepening cooperation between Guangming Factory and Germany's Said Company was officially launched.

The technical staff of both parties worked closely together in the new material application project. After many tests and improvements, they successfully applied the new carbon fiber composite materials to key components such as the frames of agricultural machinery, greatly improving the strength and lightweight of the components.

In terms of precision marketing, the two parties combined their respective advantages in different markets to develop a new marketing strategy.

For the European market, Germany's Said Company will take the lead and use its deep market foundation and brand influence to promote agricultural machinery products with new carbon fiber composite components; for Asia and other emerging markets, Guangming Factory will take the lead and promote the same products with its good local reputation and sales network.

At the same time, the two sides communicated in a timely manner through cooperation exchange meetings and resolved various problems that arose during the cooperation process, ensuring the smooth progress of the cooperation project.

Guangming Factory has also made some progress in recruiting international talents.

By improving remuneration, highlighting development prospects and strengthening cooperation with international universities and research institutions, a group of international talents have been attracted to join.

Among them, Jack, an agricultural machinery expert from the United States, was attracted by the innovative atmosphere and development prospects of Guangming Factory after seeing its recruitment information and decided to join it.

After Jack arrived at Guangming Factory, he said to Wang Dashan: "Director Wang, I have worked in the field of international agricultural machinery for many years and have been paying attention to the development of the industry. I found that Guangming Factory has done an excellent job in technological innovation and international cooperation. I believe that I can realize my career ideals here, so I decided to join you."

Wang Dashan warmly welcomed Jack and said, "Mr. Jack, welcome to Guangming Factory! We are in great need of talents like you who have an international vision and advanced technical concepts. I hope you can give full play to your talents here and contribute to the development of our factory."

After joining Guangming Factory, Jack immediately devoted himself to technical research and development.

At a research and development discussion meeting, Jack proposed a new idea for improving the efficiency of agricultural machinery power systems.

Jack said, "Everyone, I think we can introduce a new type of intelligent speed control device into the power system. It can automatically adjust the engine speed according to the actual needs of agricultural machinery in different operating environments, thereby improving the efficiency of the power system and reducing fuel consumption."

After hearing this, colleagues in the technical department expressed their agreement and said, "Mr. Jack, this is a great idea! We can start research and experiments right away to see if we can realize this idea."

With the addition of international talents such as Jack and the promotion of deepening cooperation with Germany's Said Company, Guangming Factory has made new breakthroughs in technology research and development, market expansion and other aspects, further enhancing its competitiveness in the global agricultural machinery industry.

Wang Dashan was pleased to see the development trend of the factory.

He knew that as long as Guangming Factory persisted in continuous innovation, strengthened international cooperation and attracted talents, it would be able to achieve even more brilliant achievements on the international stage.
