Chapter 1050: Chapter 571: Mist City Arts and Science University Overestimating Themselves (Please Subscribe)

Upon hearing what An Yujia said,

Ding Yue actually felt a bit surprised.

He hadn’t expected Chang’an Group to be so proactive, the National Day Holiday had barely ended, and they were already prepared to send a team of car engineers to his Mist City Arts and Science University. The efficiency was certainly impressive.

But then again,

In recent years, the business of Chang’an Group had been declining year by year. As car engineers at Chang’an Group, the money and benefits they received were definitely linked to the business performance, which meant these were declining as well.

Having the opportunity to come to Mist City Arts and Science University, the car engineers from Chang’an Group must have weighed the pros and cons and were very eager to join Mist City Arts and Science University as teachers for automotive engineering disciplines.

After all, Mist City Arts and Science University was a private institution that offered quite attractive compensation and benefits. Moreover, Mist City Arts and Science University had a deep cooperation with Chang’an Group. These engineers would not only continue their original roles at Chang’an Group, but could also take on teaching positions at the university.

Why not?

In fact, for the car engineers at Chang’an Group, there were precedents to refer to.

Take the doctors and professors from Mist City Medical University and Mist City Central Hospital, for instance, they had "dual identities," or even "multiple identities."

For example, many physicians from Mist City Central Hospital were also professors at Mist City Medical University, and last year, many also went to Mist City Arts and Science University to serve as teachers and professors at its Medical School.

"Miss An, how many engineers are there in this batch from Chang’an Group?"

Ding Yue asked An Yujia curiously.

This matter was of great importance to Ding Yue because this group of car engineers was very important for his own Mist City Arts and Science University.

With them, his Mist City Arts and Science University could cultivate more excellent students in the automotive engineering field, and when the time came to establish Feiyue Group’s car R&D department, he would have sufficient confidence.

New energy vehicles were going to be a major battle in the future, and Ding Yue had already gained an early advantage. As such, it was essential to keep up the momentum, otherwise, in a few years, this early advantage might vanish.

Because Ding Yue couldn’t predict when domestic and international research institutions might achieve mass production of graphene, but for now, his was the only company with this capability.

"Principal Ding, there are twelve engineers in the first batch from Chang’an Group,"

answered An Yujia.

Then, she pulled an A4 paper from a folder she was holding and handed it to Principal Ding, saying, "Principal Ding, this is the list."

Ding Yue received the list and looked it over carefully, then nodded and said, "Very good. Once this batch of engineers from Chang’an Group arrives, the school will immediately arrange their onboarding procedures, and the automotive engineering major will be under their lead from now on. I hope to see results within a year."

Presently, the automotive engineering major in the School of Mechanical Engineering actually had quite a large number of students.

This was thanks to the large base number of students in the School of Mechanical Engineering itself.

After all, the School of Mechanical Engineering was a flagship department at Mist City Arts and Science University. From the second year onwards, the number of students enrolled each year had been increasing exponentially.

"Okay, Principal Ding, I will coordinate with the logistics and administrative departments,"

replied An Yujia, nodding her head.

This matter involved both Feiyue Group and the internal operations of Mist City Arts and Science University, so An Yujia needed to coordinate with the university’s administrative and logistics departments, aiming to have today’s arrival of car engineers start their positions at Mist City Arts and Science University as soon as possible.

"Is this Chief Chu Jiannan, the Chief Automobile Design Engineer of the Chang’an Group?"

Ding Yue noticed the most conspicuous name among the twelve people on the list, named Chu Jiannan.

This name sounded familiar to Ding Yue.

Previously, when Ding Yue was researching the domestic car industry, he seemed to have come across the name "Chu Jiannan" in an article, which was related to Chang’an Group.

"Yes, that’s the famous Chief Chu Jiannan from Chang’an Group,"

nods An Yujia, "I met Chief Chu last time; he’s also very optimistic about the future development of the car industry and new energy vehicles."

"That’s good, Chief Chu is talented; we must keep him,"

the implication of Ding Yue’s words was clear.

Currently, Chief Chu was leading a team of car engineers to Mist City Arts and Science University because of the cooperation between the university and Chang’an Group.

In the future, Ding Yue obviously wouldn’t focus primarily on Chang’an Group, so at that time, he would expect Chief Chu and his team to make a choice: continue with Chang’an Group or join Feiyue Group’s automotive department?

Undoubtedly, this was equivalent to "poaching talent."

But it couldn’t be helped; in the future domestic new energy car industry, to grow and become stronger, some car companies would inevitably have to be sacrificed, although it might be possible to create diversity in the sector.

Feiyue Group was bound to be the industry leader.

Eventually, any ambitious figure in the automotive engineering field would likely choose Feiyue Group.

"Understood, Principal Ding,"

An Yujia agreed, knowing that Principal Ding treasured talent, and Chief Chu Jiannan indeed was a talent in the field of automobile engineering. If he could be utilized by Feiyue Group in the future, it would certainly be excellent.
