Xu Zhi and others went around the whole production line, the 70s was the golden age of industrial PLC development, with microprocessors, electrical engineering has been qualitatively improved.

This is also why York's production line is difficult to sell even if it is discounted, because this production line is still a traditional relay control method, the intelligence is not high, and the requirements for the number of labor are not in line with the interests of European and American manufacturers.

However, this is the best choice for Xiangjiang, the production line is cheap, the maintenance cost is low (PLC is a cutting-edge technology in that era, it has not yet been popularized, and maintenance may have to be from the manufacturer), as for the extra labor, for most parts of Asia, it is not a problem at all!

Xu Zhi asked, "Have the samples of the trial production come out?"

Zhang Xiaowu said: "50 samples have been made, and now they are being tested in the laboratory, do you want Xu Sheng to take a look?"

"Okay!" Xu Zhi nodded.

The laboratory is located in the northwest corner of the workshop, and when Xu Zhi and the others came in, Cao Lizhong was conducting various tests with his subordinates.

Seeing the boss come in, Cao Lizhong put down the work in his hand and walked over to greet him: "Xu Sheng." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "Lao Cao, how is the quality of these refrigerators?"

Cao Lizhong pointed to both sides and said, "Xu Sheng, the one on the left is the York-brand refrigerator, and the ones on the right are developed by us ourselves." ”

After half a year of research, coupled with some help from York engineers, Midea also developed its own refrigerator.

Xu Zhi compared, in terms of appearance, Midea's refrigerator is much smaller, but this is only the relationship between refrigerator capacity and product positioning, and it cannot be said that the refrigerator is of good quality when it is large.

Xu Zhi asked again: "What is the quality of the two refrigerators, and is there any gap?"

Cao Lizhong said: "Compared with the York refrigerator, ours is much worse, the volume of the York refrigerator is half larger than ours, but the power consumption is about the same, and the freezing speed is much stronger, and the noise is much quieter!"

Xu Zhi walked over and looked at it, and said: "It's okay, let's slowly modify and improve it according to the situation! The main market for this refrigerator for the time being is Southeast Asia, so let's hone our technology!"

……

After coming out of the factory, Xu Zhi took a look at the entire factory in the car, this is the first large-scale factory after his rebirth, although now, this is only a drop in the bucket of his assets, but the significance is still very significant, and there are still some small excitements.

After returning to Midea's headquarters, He Guoyuan also reported the company's recent situation.

"Xu Sheng, this is the company's sales in recent months. He Guoyuan handed over a document, which already listed the sales of all games and the size of future orders.

This is a big table, the first four are Tank Battle, Pac-Man, Xiangjiang Cube, and Snake, and from the fifth row, the data starts to plummet, but it is still some achievement.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It seems that it is not bad to let the employees develop their own plan to get commissions!"

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "Yes, after all, this is about your own money bag, of course, you have to think about it." ”

Tank Battle and Pac-Man were developed half a year ago, Xu Zhi saw that this group of R&D people had nothing to do, so he discussed with He Guoyuan and decided to let them divide themselves into several teams to develop their own games, and the quality of the game can be recognized by the company's senior management, and it can also be sold as an arcade game, and the whole team can be divided from the sales.

The share is not high, of course, the company takes the lion, but if a little red game is released, the income can be immediately multiplied, which is a great encouragement to them.

Tempted by money, most of them are motivated, and although they haven't developed any good games, they have also brought a lot of income to the company.

Xu Zhi said: "This model is still good, but I think this group of people is still too relaxed, and it will be summarized once a year in the future, and the entire team with the lowest benefit will be directly demoted, and the bonus will be reduced, and the specific proportion will be discussed by several of your management." ”

He Guoyuan said: "This, it seems to be a little too strict!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Not strict, I didn't say that it would be good to fire this team directly, in the future, our company will recruit R&D personnel on a large scale, and even have branches in the United States and Japan, there are only a few games I can provide, so many people do we have to keep raising them in vain?"

As for how to arrange, now we have fewer people, and there will be more people in the future, a team of about 10 people, choose a team leader, he has discretion, he can recruit people, or lay off people, anyway, in addition to the minimum basic salary of this team, everyone shares the benefits of their own games, and if they don't do well, the team leader has the right to be fired.

And there will be certain requirements for the team leader, the whole team does the worst, and the team leader will leave directly!"

He Guoyuan fell silent after hearing this, and said after a while: "Xu Sheng, the efficiency will indeed be improved a lot if you do this, but I am worried that the pressure on the employees is too great." ”

Xu Zhi said: "What bullshit pressure, this is called wolf culture, in the whole Xiangjiang, except for a very few companies in the financial industry, our Midea welfare is already good, not to mention that we are still manufacturing, since I provide such good conditions, then employees must also do enough requirements, this requirement is very simple, it is good to make money for the company, and those who have the ability to earn more, and those who are not capable are embarrassed!"

In the past year or so, Midea's arcade machine has been too successful, and corruption has begun to appear within the company, although it is all the game creativity of Xu Zhi, the boss, but many developers claim to be their own credit.

When the company decided to group R&D personnel into separate R&D and give profit sharing, many people actually had the idea of playing games such as tank battles, thinking that they should get dividends from these games.

After being rejected by the company, some people began to be overwhelmed and unconcerned about their team's game development.

In fact, these people think they are smart, He Guoyuan has long seen it, and he also reported to Xu Zhi in the United States some time ago, but because the things in the United States are more important, Xu Zhi has no time to pay attention to these people, and now he is back in Xiangjiang, this kind of person is the first batch of people to start, and he wants to use these people to rectify the company's atmosphere.

At present, Midea electronic games are relying on the prophetic benefits brought by Xu Zhi, the founder, and the profits are indeed huge, but in the long run, this is not conducive to the development of the company, if it is just a small company, a creative person plays a very big role, but when the company grows, it is more important to work together of countless people.

After the decline of arcades in the future, home game consoles and computer games will rise, and people's choices will increase a lot, because a customer can buy many game cartridges at the same time, which is completely different from the market model of arcades.

In this case, if the game software company wants to develop vigorously, it must develop a large number of games, Xu Zhi can copy some classic games in the previous life, but the company must also have a large number of ordinary games as a reserve, and it must be updated every year, which requires a large number of game designers, and the current implementation of wolf culture competition is to do this, to prepare for the future home game console market.
