Chapter 1245 One thought of heaven, another thought of hell

"Alcatel Mobile's new project land has begun to negotiate with the municipal government of the development zone to auction and demolish a new batch of land. It is estimated to cost more than [-] million yuan. The key is that in the past few years, the surrounding land has already The price has increased a lot!"

The director in charge of Yanjing Alcatel's public relations department said to Fang Qiuyu.

When Alcatel Mobile chose to come here, although it was nominally affiliated to Yanjing, it belonged to the fringe area of ​​Yanjing's suburbs and had not been developed at all. At that time, the land was not worth much at all.

Alcatel mobile phones had a lot of land in the past, but today, it is still far from enough. In recent years, because of the existence of Alcatel mobile phones, there are also many electronic research and development institutions and parts suppliers. The land prices here are surging.

Who made Alcatel mobile phone the most profitable electronic manufacturer in China at present, and the salaries and benefits for employees are also the top in the country!
Domestically, Alcatel’s mobile phone sales have been number one for many years. In addition, there is also its Panda TV. The sales volume of Panda TV is not the highest in China. TV is currently the most profitable TV brand in the domestic TV industry, and most of the money earned is foreign exchange.

The price of the LCD TV has dropped a lot compared to when it was first launched, but it is still around US$[-]. At this price, there are still only a handful of households in China who can afford it.

Alcatel mobile phone plus Panda TV, plus OEM Sega mainframe, Sega arcade machine, Microsoft XBOX mainframe, Fortinet TV box, etc., let Alcatel Group's domestic revenue continue to soar all year round, providing employees with Naturally, the treatment has also increased.

Now Yanjing's average monthly salary is 100 yuan, but as early as when Alcatel mobile phone first settled in Yanjing, the salary provided to ordinary employees was close to 500 yuan, and the second year's bonus, dividends, etc. Added together, it exceeded 2000 yuan, which was the treatment provided by Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park many years ago.

Up to now, Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park has provided nearly 500 employees with a monthly salary of about [-] yuan, which is already quite high in China. This basically leads to people who want to enter Alcatel The competition for personnel in Carter Mobile is quite fierce, not to mention the competition for personnel on the production line.

As long as Alcatel Mobile recruits workers, the domestic counterparts can basically only stare blankly, and they can only recruit people after Alcatel Group has finished recruiting.

But this kind of salary is not a burden at all for Alcatel mobile phones. The salary of more than 4000 is converted into US dollars, which is less than 750 US dollars, and the annual salary is only [-] US dollars. The entire Alcatel Group, for this The annual labor salary paid by the production base of the industrial park is less than [-] million US dollars...

In China, for ordinary companies, the labor salary of 60 million US dollars a year is already ridiculously high, which means that no matter how much they earn, they have to pay 300 billion yuan a year, but for the annual revenue For the Alcatel mobile phone, which is almost 42 billion US dollars and the profit is about [-]%, the labor salary cost of [-] million US dollars is really a bargain.

Even the board of directors of Alcatel Mobile, every time they see the treatment of the Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park in Yanjing, can't help but ask for an increase in the salary at the annual meeting every year.

But Fang Qiuyu and the management of Yanjing Alcatel Mobile phone really can't raise the salary of too many ordinary employees immediately. Alcatel Mobile phone is already too hated. The Carter Group has a monopoly.

In addition to salary, the Alcatel Group can only find another way, there are housing subsidies, transportation subsidies, meal subsidies, etc., and there are also internal housing quotas, that is, the Alcatel Group has built several community housing in the surrounding area to meet Employees with certain conditions can purchase houses in these communities at cost prices.

Alcatel Group builds houses for employees who meet a certain number of years of employment to subscribe, and even provides low-interest or interest-free loans for employees who intend to purchase real estate.

These conditions of the Alcatel Group have made people of this era feel bursting, but after a few years, housing prices have soared, school district houses have been born, and the land in the hands of the Alcatel Group, as well as the number of housing subscriptions, I am afraid that they will not be recognized by others. Take the lead, because it means that it is possible to get a local household registration in Yanjing!

Now the land in Yanjing is not as expensive as later generations, but the land close to the Alcatel Group is not cheap anymore. Everyone knows that the Alcatel Group is rich, not to mention private houses and farmland, even if it is wasteland. Alcatel Group wants to buy, and the price has soared.

"The demolition fee and land requisition fee must be fully compensated. The headquarters of the Alcatel Group and Director Bruno do not want to affect the reputation of the Alcatel Group because of these problems!"

Fang Qiuyu explained to the senior executives of Yanjing Alcatel Group that the cost of land acquisition may be more expensive, but compared with the reputation of Alcatel mobile phones, it is not worth mentioning at all. Once users hate the Alcatel brand, then No matter how much advertising and public relations fees are spent, there is no need for the Alcatel Group to be penny-pinching on such issues. With that time, the new phase of the project is completed, a few more production lines are erected, and the machines earn money. You can earn back the cost of the investment several times!
"This time, we need to buy more land. After the completion of the new phase of the project, it is likely to be full. We need to reserve room for expansion!"

Hearing Fang Qiuyu's words, several senior executives couldn't help but disagree. They didn't say anything about the rumors about Alcatel mobile phones overseas, but how could they have never heard of them.

Even many domestic media are hyping that Alcatel's mobile phone is about to decline. At this time, it is still expanding production and constantly recruiting troops. It is a big risk. It is not satisfied now, and we must continue to prepare for subsequent expansion. These executives didn't know for a while whether they were too pessimistic, or the parent company was too confident and regarded other mobile phone brands as nothing.

Looking at their expressions, Fang Qiuyu turned cold, and looked at them coldly, "This is a request from the parent company. Director Song Yang personally signed the final decision. If anyone has doubts, they can choose to quit now! "

When several executives heard this, they quickly lowered their heads. Fang Qiuyu had a good personality, but he still held the life and death power of Yanjing Alcatel, Sohu, 8848, 360 and other companies, and Shanda was invested by the Star Wish Foundation. , Netease, Sina, Gree, Moutai, Changchun High-tech, Vanke and other companies, the presidents and executives of the company had to weigh whether they could handle Fang Qiuyu's anger.

After a warning, Fang Qiuyu got up and prepared to leave. He had too many things to deal with. Even though the Alcatel mobile phone was very important, it was impossible to just stay here and not go anywhere.

Before leaving, Fang Qiuyu explained again to several people, "The new phase of the project is very important. The parent company hopes to increase production capacity as soon as possible. Director Song Yang is also very concerned about this matter. You should handle this matter well. !"

Fang Qiuyu didn’t say it to death, but the meaning in his words was very clear. If anyone doesn’t make him happy, then he will flip the table. Alcatel mobile phones also have Panda TV, game consoles, TV boxes and other products, and gradually transfer The production capacity of General Appliance's products that came over could not be increased. If he was dissatisfied by Song Yang, then Fang Qiuyu would definitely not make the few people in front of him comfortable!
When Fang Qiuyu left the headquarters building of Alcatel Group in Yanjing, Zhang Cheng was also being inspected by the interviewer in the personnel department.

The person who interviewed Zhang Cheng was jointly interviewed by the heads of the three departments of Yanjing Alcatel Group's technology department, personnel department, and finance department.

The supervisor of the technical department asked Zhang Cheng the most questions, many of which were professional questions. Zhang Cheng was asked a layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Mr. Zhang Cheng, would you like to receive technical training for a period of time. During the training period, you can get 85% of the basic salary, and the rest of the project bonuses, dividends, and year-end bonuses will be distributed as usual."

The technical supervisor who interviewed Zhang Cheng seemed to be quite satisfied with Zhang Cheng. Even though he had a degree, he was not the best among this batch of interviewers, but Zhang Cheng had solid theoretical and basic skills. He is very capable, and has participated in many mechanical design competitions. Although he didn't get a very dazzling ranking, it also proved Zhang Cheng's ability.

Although Zhang Cheng is still only an uncarved jade, but for the technical department, this is the most suitable. After all, there are so many geniuses in the world, and most of them are not cultivated slowly. Then act as a screw. There is really that kind of peerless genius. As early as in college, he was snatched away by major R&D institutions and giant companies, and he has no chance to come here for interviews.

Seeing the astonished expression on Zhang Cheng's face, the technical supervisor said patiently, "Alcatel Group is building a new global R&D center in Yanjing, and there is a certain number of places in Yanjing's technical department, and we can recommend technicians. , Go to Alcatel Group headquarters in San Jose, Bell Labs, and [-] universities around the world that cooperate with Alcatel Group for training, exchange, and study.

Of course, before joining the company, you need to sign an entry agreement and a non-compete agreement for a certain number of years. Alcatel mobile phones will also have the priority to renew your contract. If you breach the contract, you may have to pay more than you expected. I hope you Can carefully consider..."

"I'm willing to sign!" Zhang Cheng couldn't help but said.

"Don't worry, you can think about it and give a reply in three days. We also need to hand over your information to the management for decision!"

The technical director smiled and said to Zhang Cheng, and then his face became serious, "Technology is a very boring thing, especially R&D technology. Don't make decisions easily because of the current predicament. I don't want the future One day, I suddenly receive your resignation application, and then the legal department will contact you!

I hope that I will personally sign your retirement application, on the day you realize financial freedom! "

Back in the small rented room in the main city of Yanjing, the conditions in the group rented house are certainly not very good. The sound of cooking and children's noise rushed into Zhang Cheng's ears, but he turned a deaf ear to it. Only the interview just now was in his mind. time conversation.

Of course, Zhang Cheng could hear the meaning of the technical director's words. For him, this was definitely an opportunity. How could it be a simple training to be sent to places like Alcatel Mobile Headquarters and Bell Labs for training.

But Zhang Cheng is not sure whether he is that material, he is only in his early twenties, his life has just begun, and he is not clear about the future path, whether his career will be sitting on a boring technical platform He was not sure if he stayed for the rest of his life, let alone guarantee it.

However, the treatment of Alcatel Group really makes Zhang Cheng envious. The entry is based on the standard of technical personnel. The subsidy issued by the headquarters of the group is based on the standards of the American side. Zhang Cheng does not know the exact amount, but judging from the expressions of the other two directors of the human resources department and the finance department during his interview today, this subsidy Seems to be pretty high!

And when Zhang Cheng comes back from training, his salary plus various subsidies and bonuses from the technical department, within a few years, as long as he doesn't get in, he can basically get an annual salary of 10 RMB , and when his technology improves further, he is proficient in a certain aspect of design or good at developing a certain technology. If he can develop new technologies, patents, etc., then according to the words of the technical director, Zhang Cheng should consider it at that time. Yes, it's not the salary, but how much mobile phone sales can be divided into...

Zhang Cheng also knew that it was a big cake of painting, and it was not easy to come up with a certain patent or technology, but his heart was tickled. If he was lucky, which patent or technology would he really come up with? Zhang's genealogy, is it going to be changed!

I was bored in the room for three full days, and on the third day, Zhang Cheng woke up with dark circles under his eyes at dawn on the third day. He felt that these three days were the longest days in his life, and he didn't sleep at all. with.

Pushing open the door, Zhang Cheng, who was pulling the suitcase and carrying big and small bags on his back, took a last look at the small and dark room, turned around resolutely, and rushed towards the Alcatel Mobile Phone Group without any hesitation.

When Bruno's private jet landed at Houston Airport, it was only a few days away from Christmas. As the site of the red-neck state, all cities, including Houston, attach great importance to Christmas, and the atmosphere of Christmas can be seen everywhere on the street. , All major shopping malls have also started to offer discounts. If you can see the inside of the cars passing by, you can see all kinds of Christmas gifts and supplies.

And companies including Microsoft, ICQ, Yahoo, Intel, Alcatel Mobile, PayPal, etc., after overcoming the difficulties after the Internet bubble, once again issued large year-end bonuses to their employees this year. Back to normal again!
