Chapter 1342

The research institute has another gate inside the electronics factory, and it looks quite thick and heavy.

There is a guard post at the entrance, and a Jin Dun security guard is standing there straight as a ramrod.

And inside the guard post, there is another security guard responsible for registering personnel entering and leaving the research institute.

When Zhou Andong and the others walked over, the security guard on duty gave a standard military salute.

Li Hongyan came to the guard post window, picked up a pen, wrote his name in the notebook, then glanced at the quartz clock inside the guard post and wrote down the time.

"Chairman!" After Li Hongyan finished signing, he said with some difficulty: "All personnel entering and leaving the research institute must be registered, including myself. Look..."

Zhou Andong laughed heartily, took the pen to write his name and the time, and then handed the pen to Jian Qiu.

"The confidentiality work of the research institute cannot be sloppy at all. Although I am the Chairman, since there are regulations, we must follow them."

Li Hongyan breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he had been thinking about this matter for a long time and didn't know what to do.

The security rules for the research institute were written like this: anyone, including group leadership,

must register and undergo inspection when entering or leaving the research institute.

But he knew that the research institute was nominally under the vertical management of the Yugong Group.

However, the research institute was independent of the entire group and had been wholly acquired by Qiu Dongfang.

Therefore, to be more precise, the research institute was managed by the Yugong Group on behalf of the owner.

And Zhou Andong was his true boss. For the boss to come to his own research institute to inspect work and still have to register and sign his name—it just didn't make sense any way you looked at it.

But if he didn't register, it would break the security rules, which was a situation he didn't want to see.

Before Zhou Andong arrived, he had been struggling with this matter, feeling burdened with worries.

Liu Qingjun saw that he had something on his mind and asked about it.

When he heard Li Hongyan's concerns, Liu Qingjun laughed.

He told him that the Chairman wasn't as narrow-minded as he thought; he should just do what needed to be done.

But he was still terrified. Now, seeing Zhou Andong register without the slightest hesitation, his heart finally settled.

Zhou Andong's broad-mindedness made Li Hongyan very admiring.

It's no wonder Zhou Andong could achieve such success at a young age; such broad-mindedness is truly not something an ordinary person can have.

For example, the research institute back in the day had to host inspections by higher-level leaders several times a month.

According to security requirements, even if the Governor came, he had to undergo security checks.

Some would smile slightly, but one never knew what they were thinking inside.

And some would fly into a rage. If it weren't for the fact that the research institute was backed by the military,

let alone whether he could be the director, the old director wouldn't have even lasted until retirement before being removed.

What's important is that things back then were different from now.

Back then, the research institute belonged to the state, but now it belongs to Zhou Andong privately.

Zhou Andong continued: "Director Li, you must remember, from now on, no matter who comes to the research institute, even if it's the Mayor, the Municipal Party Secretary, or high-level leaders from the province, they must be executed according to security requirements."

"I will definitely execute according to security requirements." Li Hongyan nodded very solemnly: "Chairman, let's go in."

Several people entered the gate, and Li Hongyan introduced: "Our research institute's security measures are done according to the standards of a national level-one confidentiality unit.

The security facilities and equipment were bought by the old director himself by finding connections in the military; they were also installed by the military, and they provided training for our security personnel.

Our security and confidentiality work resolutely implements the principle of 'whoever is in charge is responsible.' We fully implement the first-person responsibility system for security and confidentiality work.

Main leaders must personally deploy specific matters of their department's security and confidentiality work. We must ensure tasks are clear, responsibilities are assigned to individuals, and earnestly implement various security and confidentiality prevention measures.

Each department must manage its own people and watch its own doors. All duty personnel must stick to their posts, keep communications open, and adhere to the reporting system.

As long as an accident or emergency occurs, we must immediately activate the emergency plan, handle it properly, and report it upward in a timely manner according to regulations. For delayed reporting or missed reporting, we will pursue the responsibility of relevant personnel according to the consequences produced..."

As Li Hongyan spoke, Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu listened quietly, while Gu Bing on the side kept twitching his mouth.

It's just a research institute, not a real level-one confidentiality unit; is it necessary to have such security measures?

At this time, Zhou Andong saw a small team of five security guards walking out from the corner on the right side of the research institute's office building.

Li Hongyan pointed to that team: "The research institute has 136 security personnel. During the day, every fifteen minutes, a security team will patrol. At night, every floor, including the basement, will have 8 people responsible for security work..."

Several people arrived in front of the research institute's office building, and Li Hongyan walked up the steps quickly and pushed open the door.

Inside, there was actually a security inspection machine, with a male and a female security guard standing next to it.

After Zhou Andong and the others entered, the female security guard said to Jian Qiu:

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, please put your bag into the security inspection machine."

Jian Qiu nodded and put her bag into the security inspection machine.

Li Hongyan said with a smile: "This is to prevent anyone from bringing in photography equipment."

Only after the inspection was completed did they truly enter the gate of the research institute.

Zhou Andong asked: "Which floor?"

"Underground!" Li Hongyan answered and took Zhou Andong and the others to the basement by elevator.

As soon as they exited the elevator, there was a lobby, still guarded by security.

Seeing Li Hongyan, the security guard on duty saluted, and then registered them one by one.

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "With security measures like this, even a mouse couldn't get in."

Li Hongyan also laughed: "Actually, security isn't to prevent anyone from getting in, but to prevent anyone from taking things out."

Zhou Andong nodded in agreement. In later generations, Huawei's confidentiality management has always received much external attention.

And the formulation of Huawei's confidentiality management methods is an important means of its core competitiveness.

Although Zhou Andong didn't know what level Huawei's confidentiality measures were, he knew they were definitely more stringent than the Yuzhou Research Institute.

In the center of the lobby was a cross-shaped corridor, and on both sides of the corridor were various laboratories.

Li Hongyan pointed to the corridor directly opposite: "The old director is in that laboratory over there. The flash memory chip has already had a breakthrough in key technology, but it will still take time to complete the research and development."

Zhou Andong said with some disbelief: "How long has it been? A breakthrough already?"

Li Hongyan laughed: "If it were just the old director and our research institute's scientific research strength, it might not have been this fast. But ever since Engineer Ni brought his team here, the R&D progress has taken off."

Zhou Andong's eyes shone like lightbulbs. As long as the flash memory chip R&D is successful, he will launch the MP3 project.

"Let's go!" Zhou Andong stepped forward: "Take me to see Engineer Ni."
