The richest man: I really don’t want to make money.

“If you don’t go home, all the chefs will be on holiday, and there will be no one to cook for you every day.”

"Can you still stay here?"

Yao Beiguo asked, "After the annual meeting, the BL Game Club went on holiday."

After all, the club has nothing to do except train its youth team members, so they can only give them a break.

Currently, the industries within Tomorrow Group that require overtime work are basically the catering industry and the game company that needs daily maintenance, Cangxue Games.

Finally, there's the wastewater treatment plant. This plant processes wastewater every day, so it also requires overtime work.

"Mr. Yao, it's okay if there's no chef to cook. We'll just order takeout from Nanchi."

One of the youth training members spoke up.

"Hmm... you can stay here for another half a month, but you all have to go home before the Lunar New Year."

Yao Beiguo thought for a moment, then spoke.

It would be too much for parents to send their children here and then not go home for the Chinese New Year.

"We understand, Mr. Yao. We will definitely go back before the New Year."

The group of youth training members quickly spoke up.

"Okay, then you guys keep playing."

Yao Beiguo nodded, then turned and left, returning to his office.

Not long after,

Tao Ze walked in from outside.

"Mr. Yao, everything for the competition has been arranged, and it will start tomorrow."

"Are all the participating teams here?"

Yao Beiguo asked.

"The team is all here. After all, this is the highest-level world championship held once a year."

"With such a high prize, unless there are special circumstances, I believe no team would want to give up the opportunity to compete in the finals."

Tao Ze smiled and said, "The spots in this world championship are fought over by each team from dozens of other teams in their own country. No team is willing to give them up."

"Yes, the competition starts tomorrow, so we must make sure it's a success."

Yao Beiguo spoke up.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yao, there won't be any problems."

Yao Beiguo made a promise.

at the same time,

Jiangcheng,

Tomorrow's new energy,

Research room.

"Mr. Chang, there has been a breakthrough in the technology of this battery."

Qiu Hongbo looked at the research data in his hand and said excitedly.

Upon hearing Qiu Hongbo's words, Chang Zishan spoke with great excitement.

"Does that mean this battery can be developed very soon?"

"Hmm... that's not feasible right now. We've only learned about some of the core key aspects of this battery, and we still need to continue our research to ensure its stability."

"However, the most crucial and difficult step is often going from 0 to 1. Now that we understand the key technologies of this battery, it is the breakthrough from 0 to 1."

"Subsequent research and development will go much more smoothly."

Qiu Hongbo said excitedly that he had been researching this battery technology for a long time and had finally made a breakthrough.

"How long will it take to successfully develop this actual battery?"

Chang Zishan continued to ask, "It was previously estimated that it would take two years to develop successfully."

Now that they have the technology to develop this battery, it will definitely speed things up.

"Based on the current situation, we have made breakthrough progress in battery technology. I estimate that in another three months, we will be able to develop a stable battery."

"However, even if it is successfully developed, it will still require a certain period of testing. After all, batteries need a certain degree of stability, and if it is uncertain whether they are stable, they cannot be applied to vehicles."

"So overall, it will take at least six months before the tram is put into service."

"And this is all under the condition that everything goes smoothly."

Qiu Hongbo spoke slowly.

"Half a year isn't that long. How about this, Minister Qiu, let's work overtime and work on the research and development."

Chang Zishan slowly began to speak, "Although President Chen's requirement is that we cannot work overtime."

However, she wasn't working overtime because of the company, nor did she need any overtime pay. She just wanted to develop the battery technology as quickly as possible.

"President Chang, doesn't Tomorrow Group prohibit overtime? Is it okay if we work overtime on our own?"

Qiu Hongbo asked with some concern, as he was aware of Tomorrow Group's no-overtime policy.

After the annual meeting, many companies gave employees a holiday.

"There's no need to tell General Manager Chen about this overtime. This time it's just the two of us working overtime, and there's no need for overtime pay or anything. It's just out of curiosity about this battery technology."

Chang Zishan spoke slowly.

"Since Mr. Chang says so, I'm relieved. That's what I thought too. This battery technology is truly amazing."

"I really want to develop it, but unfortunately I have to take a month-long vacation. I even thought about bringing some of the institute's equipment home and studying it myself during the vacation."

Qiu Hongbo said happily that before Chang Zishan suggested working overtime, he had already considered continuing to develop this battery technology during the holiday.

"Then it's settled."

Chang Zishan nodded.

"Mr. Chang, do we also want to work overtime?"

As the two were talking, several other researchers in the institute also chimed in.

Chang Zishan looked at the other researchers, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"You need to understand that this overtime work is my personal decision and will not be reported to the group headquarters."

"Therefore, this overtime work does not include any of the benefits or subsidies offered by Tomorrow Group."

It would definitely be better if these researchers worked overtime, as it would help them develop battery technology better and faster.

Although she is the general manager of Tomorrow New Energy, she cannot force employees to work overtime for free.

Tomorrow Group has a different business philosophy. If it does this, it's no different from other companies that exploit their employees.

So even though these researchers staying would be more helpful to battery research, she did not ask them to work overtime.

"Mr. Chang, we also want this battery technology to be developed as soon as possible, and this holiday is too early. We can go home for a few days before the New Year."

A researcher slowly began to speak.

"Yes, Mr. Chang, this battery technology is really too advanced. I also want to see what it will be like after this battery technology is developed."

Another researcher slowly spoke up.

Chang Zishan looked at the researchers in front of her, thought for a moment, and slowly began to speak.

"How about this, although I can't report your overtime work to the Tomorrow Group headquarters."

"But I will give you some benefits for working overtime during this period."

"Thank you, Mr. Chang."
