Chapter 376: Building Silicon Valley's Unique Soft Power
Looking at this place in front of them, which can only be seen on TV and in full-color magazines about luxury goods and the lives of the rich, like the luxury manor of the rich, the employees of Garrett 2000 who came with Chen Geng were all stupid, and for a long time, someone cautiously asked: "Sir, will we work here in the future?"
Chen Geng smiled, nodded and asked, "How is it?"
"You mean...... This place, really for us?"
Although Chen Geng's answer was very, very positive, the rest of the employees, except for a few original shareholders such as Chiwetel Ejioot, were still incredulous: it was ...... to give themselves an office in an ultra-luxury villa complex by the sea Even the super-rich "blue giant" IBM doesn't have such extravagant skills, right?
"As a boss, you still have to hate me to death if you make such a joke with your own employees?" Chen Geng gave them an affirmative answer again: "After you go back, everyone will clean up, and in three days this will be the headquarters of Garrett 2000, but there is a small problem in this place......
Before Chen Geng could finish speaking, someone else shouted: "Boss, as long as this is not a haunted house, any other problems are not a problem!"
As soon as these words landed, the others immediately burst into laughter.
Indeed, as long as it's not a haunted house, all other problems aren't a problem.
Chen Geng was also laughing: "I can assure you at this point, this place is definitely not a haunted house." ”
"Then no problem!"
"There are no big problems, there are still a few small problems, one of them, is that the location here is more partial, of course, the company has prepared a dormitory for everyone, two people in a room, if you have a girlfriend, you can apply for a single room, and if you have a wife and children in the future, you can also apply for an apartment ......"
Why is it still two people in one room when there are so many empty houses, instead of one person? Simple, considering that Garrett 2000 will usher in a wave of scale expansion in the future, there is always some "reserve" reserved for the future.
"Boss, don't worry, as long as you can let me work here and give me a bed, I can not go home for half a year!" Before Chen Geng finished speaking, someone immediately shouted.
Someone asked loudly if he could bring the surfboard at home, if he could, he planned to go to the beach to surf during the break, and some people even suggested that Chen Geng could buy a few motorboats or jet skis, and everyone would go to the sea to play when they were idle, and it would be better if there was a girl in a bikini...... As they said this, the animals glanced hard at the former employees of the recuperation center.
In this era when the personal computer industry and the software industry are just developing, these personal computer companies and software development companies are not so much companies as studios, and the employees and bosses are not so formal and strict, plus Chen Geng's age is about the same as them, they are all young people, and they have gotten along in the past few days, and everyone has become accustomed to this big boss who is about the same age as themselves.
"Well, I understand your thoughts," Chen Geng deliberately glanced at the beautiful female employees of the recuperation center next to him, and said meaningfully: "If it's me, I won't go back." ”
The crowd laughed again.
Chen Geng waved his hand: "Okay, the point hasn't been said yet...... This place, everything, the only bad thing is, um, do you see those orchards in the distance? Those fruit trees need pesticides, of course, pesticides don't come to us, but I'm not sure if you mind that?"
Need pesticides for orchards?
In the eyes of a group of young people, this is not a problem at all, there are still five or six hundred meters away from their nearest orchard, what is the problem? There is no problem at all, they have already begun to ask their boss in a hurry, when the company will move over, and whether they can invite their friends to come over and play when they move over.
Chen Geng understands the careful thinking of these guys very well, oh, show off, it has been the same since ancient times, and after a few years, it has entered the era of mobile Internet, isn't it the same, if you change to a good unit, you must send a V letter, tweet, Send Facebook, have a good show off in the circle of friends, and then harvest a wave of envy, jealousy and hatred, and you must add two photos of yourself and a beautiful bikini girl riding a jet ski in the sea, even if you have to pay for it to invite the girl to dinner for a month...... Maybe you'll become your girlfriend while eating.
Since the company's employees have no opinion, it is the turn of these employees of the original recuperation center in front of them, to be honest, Chen Geng hopes that these people will stay, not only because these girls are beautiful, but also because these girls almost all have a skill: there are professional fitness coaches, professional yoga instructors, professional masseurs and physiotherapists, professional nurses who have obtained advanced nursing qualifications, and a professional team of doctors......
To put it mildly, don't look at the sad faces of these beauties in front of you, it seems that it is not easy to find a job, but in Chen Geng's eyes, they are all talents, if they can stay, in the entire Silicon Valley and even the world, this is the unique competitiveness of Garrett 2000, which can attract countless talented young people to Garrett 2000.
Standing in front of this group of beautiful girls, Chen Geng asked with a smile: "Gentlemen, young ladies, I believe you all know who I am, that's right, I am the one who bought this recuperation center, Mr. Milhouse handed you over to me, I want to ask, what are your plans for your future?"
The crowd looked at each other, not understanding what the gentleman who had bought the sanatorium meant by asking him.
Chen Geng didn't intend to listen to their answers, and asked with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be planning to find a new job, right? But you don't mind, can you continue to work for me?"
"Working for you?" Corey Sakleton, the director of the recuperation center headed by him, didn't expect Chen Geng to want to let himself and others continue to work for him, and said in surprise: "Sir, with all due respect, I can guess that you are a rich man, very, very rich, but ...... The cost of raising our team is very expensive. ”
"Of course, Mr. Milhouse's salary for you is not low, especially for you, Mr. Sakryton, Milhouse gives you a salary of $4,000 a month plus a 2% dividend from the recuperation center, right?" Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "Although you don't seem to be able to get this dividend." ”
The monthly salary of $4,000 is equivalent to five times the current per capita monthly income of the United States, and considering the current price level and purchasing power, it is roughly equivalent to an annual salary of 200,000 yuan more than 30 years later, plus dividends, which is basically equivalent to the annual salary of $300,000 that Milhouse gave to Mr. Corey Sacreton, which is definitely not low.
Corey Sacreton nodded a little awkwardly.
"If you're willing to work for me, you probably won't get 2% of the dividend, but you can get a monthly salary of $5,000, 14 salaries a year, how about it?"
Corey Sakriton's eyes widened suddenly: "Sir, what do you mean...... Give me $70,000 a year?"
"That's right," Chen Geng nodded: "How is it?"
"I ...... I don't understand, why are you doing this?" In response to Chen Geng's invitation, Corey Sakliton was puzzled and had the urge to pull his hair: "Do you plan to continue to operate this recuperation center?"
This is not only a question that Corey Sacreton does not understand, but also the group of warblers behind him: the same Mr. Fernandez Chen has made it clear that this will be the new address of the corporate headquarters of Garrett 2000, which is a software development company, and they all know this.
What is a computer software development company going to do with a group of people like it who are engaged in nursing and physiotherapy?
"Of course it's not going to be running, but I want my people to have the most professional, scientific, and healthy lifestyle, and well, that's what sets Garrett 2000 apart from other companies, I say that, you understand?"
Corey Sakryton nodded honestly: "Frankly, I don't understand too much. ”
"If you don't understand, you don't understand," Chen Geng felt that he didn't need to explain to him what is called soft power and what is hidden competitiveness, and he went straight to the core of the problem: "So, Mr. Sacreton, how will you choose?"
"I ...... I need to think about it. Corey Sacreton hesitated for a moment and said honestly to Chen Geng.
"Understood," Chen Geng nodded, looking at the warblers and Yanyan in front of him: "So, beauties, what about you?" Well, before answering me, let me tell you about the salary and work content I gave you: the work content is the same as before, and there will be no adjustment for the time being, as for the salary, it will be increased by 10% on the existing basis.
Oh, by the way, I would like to remind you that although the number of employees in Garrett 2000 is not large, only more than 20 people in total, but everyone earns more than $60,000 a year, and they are all excellent people with a high level of education, and their future is limitless, I believe that in three years at most, they will be eligible for an annual salary of more than $100,000.
Such an opportunity is hard to come by, and I personally recommend that you take advantage of this opportunity, these lads are all super potential stocks. ”
What the?
This computer software development company with just over 20 employees earns more than $60,000 a year for their employees?
Doesn't that mean a monthly salary of more than five thousand?!
The beauties who have been thinking about whether to find another career for this time are starting to light up.
