Is there anything else about this? Did he go out to start a business and use the technology we developed here?" asked Tang Zifeng.

Gu Jiacheng shook his head and said, "It's not. We have not engaged in self-lubricating guide rails ourselves, and they have always been purchased. The technical department plans to set up a project to do, so let him do pre-research for a period of time. This young man had done research in this area with his teacher in college, and he had accumulated a little bit of accumulation. Speaking of which, his skills don't have much to do with us. ”

"If that's the case, then there's no need for us to interfere. Tang Zifeng said.

Gu Jiacheng said: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that it is not good to interfere with him to open a company." For this reason, I also went to the technical department to find out the situation and make sure that he did not take anything useful from the company. ”

Tang Zifeng said: "This incident has reminded me that all enterprises under the group must establish a rule to clarify which technologies belong to the company and which technologies belong to individual employees." If the employee wants to leave, we can't stop it, but if we use our technology to sell it for money, we have to talk about it. ”

"Then what are you talking about, call the police directly to arrest people. Gu Jiacheng said with a smile, "Those employees who have mastered the company's core technology, we have signed a confidentiality agreement with them, and there is a non-compete agreement. ”

Tang Zifeng said: "You don't have to arrest people. If they go out and start their own business, instead of going to our competitors, we should still support it. ”

"Support?" Gu Jiacheng was stunned.

"As long as they're willing to pay for the use of the technology. Tang Zifeng added with a smile, seeing that Gu Jiacheng still couldn't react, he said more bluntly: "These people, if they feel that the money they make in the company is too small and want to go out and start a company by themselves, we can allow it." There's no need to hold people, the forced melon is not sweet.

"However, they have signed non-disclosure agreements, and there are non-compete agreements, which are not signed for nothing. If they want to start a business, in the start-up company, they must set aside a part of the shares of our Linji Group, which is equivalent to us taking the company's technology into shares.

"If they agree to this condition, not only will we not stop them, but we can also provide them with convenience, and it will be no problem to provide some start-up funds. But if they don't agree, but secretly do it themselves, or run to foreign-funded enterprises with technology, then I'm sorry. According to the provisions of the agreement, it is better for them to live than to die, and it is also their own fault. ”

Hearing Tang Zifeng's last words, Gu Jiacheng grinned. Tang Zifeng's belly is black and his hands are hot, Gu Jiacheng knows it, he said that he would make the whole life worse than death, it was definitely not a casual talk. Gu Jiacheng even thought about whether he should take Tang Zifeng's words to the company to spread it, so that those guys who were ready to move would be honest.

"But, Mr. Tang, what is the benefit of doing this?" Gu Jiacheng asked, "Even if we have a stake in their company, this company is not our final say after all, which will bring some hidden dangers." For example, if they start their own company, but provide technical support to our competitors, wouldn't it also harm our interests?"

"Do you think that by holding these people in your hands, our competitors will not be able to obtain these technologies from other sources?" Tang Zifeng asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Gu Jiacheng was choked again.

Some of the technologies mastered by Linyi are leading in China, and some are not leading in China, and they are a bit distinctive at best. The most important thing is that the vast majority of the technology of Linyi machine is not leading in the world, and even some backward. People can't get technical support from the hands of the machine, won't they look for the help of foreign machine tool giants, can the machine be stuck in the neck of the peers?

Tang Zifeng saw that Gu Jiacheng had nothing to say, so he continued: "We don't want to drive all the technicians out to start a business, in fact, the people who dare not go to the sea to flutter still account for the majority.

"For those who have already moved their minds, we want to force them to stay, and we can't keep them, so it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to build an industrial park now, and acquiesce to them to leave their jobs to start a business.

"They are in the company, they are working for us, and they are not motivated. If they start their own business, the money they earn is their own, and maybe their enthusiasm will be mobilized. It turns out that the technical problems that can't be solved in the company for several years can be solved as soon as you go out, this kind of thing, do you believe it or not?"

"I believe it!" Gu Jiacheng nodded and said, "Maybe these guys have already found a solution, and they are thinking about going out and doing it themselves." If we insist on keeping them, they would rather rot the technology in their own stomachs than take it out and hand it over to the company. ”

"The same can't be said for some engineers, there are some engineers who are not so selfish. Tang Zifeng corrected.

In other words, the other part is indeed so selfish! Gu Jiacheng made up the latter words for Tang Zifeng in his heart. For the witticism of this Mr. Tang, the cadres of the entire group are very familiar.

The situation they are talking about is actually inevitable, this is human nature.

It is true that most people will still talk about professional ethics, eating the king's corn, and being loyal to the king's things, which is the minimum principle of doing things. But it cannot be ruled out that there is such a small group of people who are too little when they get paid and tired when they work. If you have a little ability to make any inventions and creations, the first thing that comes to mind is not to hand them over to the company and contribute to the development of the company, but how to use these technologies to maximize the benefits for yourself.

Naturally, there are various reward mechanisms in the company, and for those who can solve major technical problems, Linji Group has always been generous in rewarding them, and there are already many engineers who have received hundreds of thousands of bonuses at a time.

But where can the human heart be satisfied? The technologies that the group can come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars to reward are often technologies worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. When some private organizations hear about this kind of thing, they will come to the door to negotiate with these engineers, and they are willing to pay a higher price to buy them, or invite them to buy shares, and they can promise millions of benefits with one mouth.

Actually, this is true for the technology department, and it is also true for the business department. As early as when Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng first arrived at Linyiji, they had heard that some salesmen took over the factory and transferred it to the township enterprises to do it, and made a profit from it. At that time, Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng took the approach of giving the salesmen a part of the business commission on the one hand to protect their enthusiasm, and on the other hand, they cracked down on all kinds of behaviors of eating inside and crawling.

Despite such a move, it is still difficult to stop the work of taking the company's business outside. After some salesmen have a stable customer relationship, they quit their jobs and set up their own sales company, specializing in acting as brokers for these customers, and making more than several times more money than in the group.

Hearing and witnessing this phenomenon, some old people will sigh that people's hearts are not ancient, saying that the social atmosphere is bad, "think about how we were back then" and so on. This kind of talk is useless, there have always been dedicated people, like Qin Zhongnian, Xiao Ming, and the like, as well as Tang Zifeng, Zhou Heng and the like. But you can't help people who are not dedicated, you can't expect to give them a political theory lesson, and they will wake up and be new people.

These selfish people are actually capable people. Instead of keeping them in their hands and letting them eat all day long, it is better to let them out and let them use their talents. The ancients said that it is better to look at each other than to look at each other.

Objectively speaking, separating some promising businesses is also an inevitable choice for a large-scale company. When the company is large enough to be inefficient. The same product, made in-house, may have mediocre results. And if you give it to someone and let him do it himself, he can make a big achievement.

This is the reason why large foreign enterprises, such as Boeing and Apple, will separate many professional links and focus only on R&D, machine manufacturing and marketing.

Tang Zifeng can have such a mind, which also comes from his confidence in Linji Group and even the whole country. He knows that China is in a period of rapid development, there are opportunities in the market, and in the future, everyone will work together to open up foreign markets, and there is no need to care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool in China.

It is precisely because of this idea that Tang Zifeng will vigorously support the construction of Gaotan Machine Tool Industrial Park in Linhe City. Now there are some people in the group who want to leave the group and go out to start a business, and Tang Zifeng is also supportive. These people only have a part of the technology in the machine tool, and it is impossible to pose a threat to the whole machine business of the Linji Group.

As for if they have made achievements in a certain subdivision, such as creating the world's first self-lubricating guide rail, Tang Zifeng is even more unwanted, and the machine tools of Linji Group will use their guide rails in the future. After all, people who are out of the group, everyone knows the roots, maybe you can get a discount or something when you buy the guide rail.

"Lao Gu, in this matter, the company has a principle, for capable employees, if they can stay, they will try to stay, give them better treatment, and give them the opportunity to display their talents. If you really can't keep it, don't force it. Leave a line for doing things, and we will meet in the future. Some people who want to go out and start a business, we can join a share, we don't have to pursue a controlling stake, as long as we can participate in their business.

"In the future, if dozens of world-renowned machine tool technology companies grow from the roots of Linyi machine, this is also our glory, isn't it?"

Gu Jiacheng patted his head exaggeratedly and said, "Oh, my old brain, I just don't have Mr. Tang's open-mindedness." But isn't it, even if these people go out, they are also our people, they have made achievements, they are also contributing to the country, and it is also our glory. ”
