Chapter 44 Intelligent Prototype Test Successfully
Chapter 44 Intelligent Prototype Test Successfully
Just now, Xu's mother said that there is a lady who will have dinner with her tomorrow, and she and other secretaries were specifically told not to follow them, but to let Xiao Chen drive them there!
Although no one knew who the lady was and Xu's mother did not say it explicitly, Secretary Li probably guessed that she was a blind date or something like that.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have specifically told these secretaries not to follow. This gossipy woman was worried that the blind date girl would misunderstand something when she saw her boss with these secretaries, which would have a bad impact.
Although Secretary Li was self-aware and had no intention of becoming a wealthy wife, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard Xu's mother specifically instruct her not to go with them.
How can it have a bad influence? It's not like I can't see people. I'm a legitimate secretary, so isn't it natural for me to be with Mr. Xu?
You're still hiding it, making me look like a mistress...
Besides, my boss is a bachelor, and I am also a single virgin. What's wrong with me wanting to get into my boss' bed? Is this shameful?
Even if that blind date came, I was the one who got here first!
On my first day at work, I reported to my boss a whole host of examinations that were more comprehensive than a premarital examination.
Secretary Jin, who was not far away, saw that she looked unhappy and immediately leaned over to ask, "What's wrong?"
Secretary Li quickly put on a smiling face: "Nothing!"
After casually dealing with Secretary Jin, Secretary Li was busy finding the restaurant's phone number and calling to make a reservation...
After the reservation was made, he sent the address and time to Xu's mother via text message, then got up and went to Xu Shenxue's office to report the reservation time, restaurant, and other details.
After saying this, Secretary Li hesitated for a moment and then said, "I heard that the window-side rooms at Yunhai Restaurant have great views, and you can see the beautiful night view of the bay!"
Xu Shenxue looked up at her for a few seconds, then lowered his head and continued to look at the documents on the computer. Seeing this, Secretary Li bit her lip slightly, then prepared to turn around and leave.
At this time, Xu Shenxue behind him said, "Book a table at Yunhai tonight, too. I want a private room by the window. We'll have dinner at Yunhai later. You can work overtime to accompany me!"
After hearing this, Secretary Li's face immediately showed joy: "Okay, I'll go make a reservation right away!"
As he said this, he turned around and walked out with a lighter step.
Xu Shenxue watched her walk out briskly. He chuckled at first, then shook his head slightly. This woman...
Then he continued to lower his head and work... There are too many documents. If he wants to leave work early and have dinner in the evening, he will have to speed up the review of the documents.
After finally finishing processing some squeezed documents and reading the work emails sent by various departments for a while, Xu Shenxue turned his gaze away from the laptop screen and looked at the sea view outside the glass window. He stared at the screen for too long and his eyes were a little tired.
After a few minutes, the phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Xie Jianyong calling. After swiping to answer, Xie Jianyong's excited voice came: "Mr. Xu, we have just assembled the prototype and just completed a simple test. The test was very successful and basically met all expectations. Would you like to come and take a look?"
Xu Shenxue became excited when he heard it: "Really? It's already been done? Wait, I'll be there soon!"
Having said that, he stood up and left, heading towards the office area of Zhiyun Technology.
Not all the offices on the 28th floor of Qianshan Insurance Building belong to Zhiyun Technology. Zhiyun Technology only occupies about two-thirds of the office area. The rest is offices of several other companies of Xu Shenxue, including the office of Liuhe Investment Co., Ltd. where Xu Shenxue works on a daily basis.
These companies are all on the 28th floor. Although Xu Shenxue owns the companies, he does this for better management and to sort out the finances, as well as to facilitate the subsequent financing of Zhiyun Technology.
Therefore, these companies under Xu Shenxue were divided in all aspects, including offices. For the convenience of management, Xu Shenxue set up his office directly in Liuhe Investment.
After all, he is not only the general manager of Zhiyun Technology, but also the chairman and general manager of Liuhe Investment. In addition to Zhiyun Technology, he also has a lot of things to deal with, including Wecoo Electronics and Wecoo Trading.
If the office is placed directly in the subsidiary, it will be inconvenient for people from other subsidiaries to come and report on their work!
Xu Shenxue walked out of the office of Liuhe Investment and went directly to the office area of Zhiyun Technology next door and went straight to the R&D department.
Today, Zhiyun Technology is a veritable high-tech enterprise. The entire company now has more than 300 people, but the R&D department has more than 200 people, and the rest are in marketing and supply chain.
However, most of the people in the supply chain are now working outside, conducting various negotiations with various supplier companies to solve the problem of spare parts supply, so there are not many people left in the company.
After arriving at the R&D department, Xie Jianyong came out to greet Xu Shenxue, but there was no further ado and they went straight to a laboratory.
At this time, the laboratory was crowded with more than ten people. All of them were backbone experts in the R&D department, including seven or eight R&D directors of various subsystems and project managers of some core technologies.
Every one of these people has a basic annual salary starting at $300,000, and there are quite a few who earn over $500,000... They are all extremely expensive talents!
Don’t think it’s too expensive. It’s because Zhiyun Technology acted early to recruit such high-end talents and signed non-compete agreements. Otherwise, Zhiyun Technology would never have been able to put together such a core technical team.
Even without taking into account the added effect of scientific research quotas, given the technical level of these people before they joined the company, it would be extremely difficult for other companies to set up one at the moment... The salary cost would at least double.
In the past month, in order to retain these talents, Xu Shenxue not only promised large year-end bonuses, but also promised to launch an option incentive program in the near future... otherwise they would have run away long ago.
Although there is a non-compete agreement, if both the poaching company and the job-hopping employee are rushing to it, there are actually many ways to circumvent it.
Even if you collect evidence and file a lawsuit, by the time you finish the lawsuit, your competitors will have already made smartphones, and your smartphone project will be stranded because a large number of technical backbones have been poached!
Therefore, the non-compete agreement is just a symbolic preventive measure. It is impossible to truly retain such high-end talents by relying on it. Even if you can barely retain them, it is difficult to make them work sincerely.
In order to retain talents and stimulate their initiative, high-tech companies provide not only high regular salaries, but also the old-fashioned company atmosphere, humanistic care and other messy things.
Options are the most important means to bind core technical backbone employees by allowing them to share the dividends of the company's development and growth.
Companies that don’t want to share anything will never be able to retain truly high-end talent... We are not stupid!
Of course, this doesn’t mean that high-tech companies don’t exploit or squeeze their employees, but those they exploit are ordinary employees who can be replaced, ordinary programmers and the like… If you don’t do these ordinary jobs, there are plenty of people who will do them, so there is no need to be too picky.
But the core technical backbone is treated differently...
You can tell by looking at Xu Shenxue's current condition. On the way here, Xu Shenxue was still in a suit and tie, with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy. When some ordinary employees who were originally chatting in low voices saw this, they couldn't help but stop chatting immediately.
But when he was a few meters away from the laboratory, his expression relaxed, and he took off his custom-made suit jacket and handed it to the assistant next to him.
Then he bent his sleeves slightly... revealing the inconspicuous black leather strap watch that Mr. Xu had given him before he went to college.
Try your best to show a friendly, easy-going and down-to-earth appearance!
