Chapter 289: Bonus (3/4)
After tomorrow night, both companies will have a holiday.
During the Christmas and New Year's holidays, except for some staff who voluntarily stayed behind to work overtime for the sake of high wages, the rest of them will not officially work until the fifth day of next year.
Blake listened to Su Mu talk about the salary, and asked casually: "The year-end bonuses and December wages of other companies have been paid, when will our company be paid? At the end of the year, many people are waiting for money to buy things, and the shopping season is almost over!"
"You want to get paid to buy things, right?"
Su Mu instantly exposed Blake's careful thinking, she usually earns a lot, and the expenses are also amazingly large, she can barely save money, buy a house, buy a car, buy luxury goods in the eyes of ordinary people, every expense is not small, especially Penguin Company does not pay dividends every quarter, after using the money for the development of the company, I have rarely heard of what she bought recently, it is estimated that she has spent all the money, and she is waiting for the rice to go to the pot.
Annoyed and angry, Blake raised his eyebrows and added: "No matter who it is, I will let the bank transfer the money in the afternoon! The document was delivered to your office yesterday, waiting for you to sign it!"
"Okay, okay, you can decide, I'll sign it now. Su Mu rummaged through the thick pile of documents to be processed, looking for the one sent by Blake, December salary plus one and a half month bonus, Pengine had to pay a total of $8.7 million in wages, and Blake alone took two million dollars, referring to the company's annual performance increase, worthy of such a high salary.
Referring to the penguin company, the special nature of the Galaxy company will undoubtedly make Su Mu bleed this month, the success of several projects, making it unreasonable for Su Mu not to give high bonuses, plus the salary of those technical talents is already high, the annual salary of several technical directors is generally as high as more than 300,000 US dollars, and the average salary is also more than 60,000 US dollars.
He sighed and said: "Galaxy will pay me an extra three months' salary, they have helped me make a lot of money this year, there are seven projects in progress alone, and I still need them to help me complete it, the bank has taken more than 19 million US dollars from my account, plus equity awards, 40 million is gone." ”
Hearing this, even James said: "Give so much bonus? This year is so much, they will be unhappy to lower it in the future." ”
"We Chinese have an allusion called "Thousands of dollars buy horse bones, to let these people know that our company has good benefits, will attract more talents to join, if you can help me earn nearly a billion dollars every year, even if it is divided into 100 million, it doesn't matter much. ”
After Su Mu signed, he handed the document to Blake, and said: "It's about to go public, you can't be as casual as you are now, there will be a board of directors, and you will be subject to all kinds of restrictions, next year is a very critical year, everyone continue to work hard."
If you have a problem, you can say now, if it's okay, go and get busy first, James, you help me inform them, the salary will be in the accounts of the Galaxy employees this afternoon, and the accounting firm will send a detailed salary statement later.
Some people have been hired for too short a time, the bonus has been reduced, and some people have been deducted part of their wages for being late, and the amount of bonuses for each project team is somewhat different, and there are also differences in different positions, the low one is only one month bonus, and the high bonus is worth a whole year's salary, you have to appease them, I am not suitable to come forward to explain. ”
Capable people get more, there is nothing wrong, James replied to him seriously: "I understand what you mean, the company does not raise idlers, they know how much effort they have made better than anyone else, I have notified some employees, telling them that they are not suitable to stay in our company, part of them are poor technology, and some of them are problems with their work attitude, they can come if they want to, and they can leave if they want to." ”
"I don't care about this, you can do it yourself, there is no need to leave everything to me, and there are no people in charge of the duties such as operations officer and financial officer. I think Oracle's employee grading system is great, different employee levels correspond to different salary and bonus amounts, and I will arrange someone to adjust it next year......"
The small internal meeting only lasted more than half an hour, mainly to discuss some of the problems encountered during the development of the company, Qian Helberg was pushed out by Su Mu to do promotion, responsible for the work of the planning department, more than half a year to do a good job, the money was not spent, so that the reputation of Penguin computer also followed a step, directly reflected in the growth of sales.
Recently, some people commented on the "profiteering computer industry", saying that the price is far higher than the manufacturing price, and the actual cost is indeed not high, but marketing, research and development, labor costs, transportation costs, after-sales service costs, plus the money earned by middlemen, how can it not be counted in the selling price and let consumers bear it?
Using the ex-factory price of parts to calculate the actual value of goods is an untenable theoretical viewpoint.
After Blake and James left Su Mu's office, Qian Hellberg and Li Ping'an still stayed, Helberg took out a file bag, handed it to Su Mu and said: "Next year's computer advertising plan, put on TV, just asked a professional to help come up with several plans, spokesperson, director, suitable TV station time period, etc., have also been summarized, you take a look before deciding, if you invite a famous Hollywood star, you need to pay about five million to ten million dollars in endorsement fees." ”
"The endorsement fee is not high, and the star effect can bring us returns, but the advertising cost of the TV station is ....... I've heard that some companies bought ads for the Super Bowl and spent a million dollars in 10 seconds, just 10 seconds, and a million were gone, and I don't know how many viewers could see it. ”
Su Mu carefully read the thick stack of plans in the file bag, and Herberg replied: "One million dollars is last year's price, and this year it can sell more than two million, tens of millions of viewers tune in to watch the Super Bowl, which belongs to the most popular advertising space, I suggest choosing advertising space in the TV series, such as the popular "Detective Hunter", "The Man from the Atlantic Bottom", etc., the shooting plan and spokesperson of the advertisement need to be determined by you, and I will talk to them next year." ”
"Wouldn't that be able to see the star?" Li Ping'an, who had been silent for a long time and couldn't speak, suddenly said.
"Of course. ”
"Wow!" Li Ping'an walked to Su Mu's side and looked at the photos of the people, there was only one photo, and the endorsement price was written on the back, "Stallone?"
This famous Hollywood tough guy movie star who filmed movies such as "Rocky" and "First Blood" has offered 12 million US dollars in two years, but it is just an offer, and it can continue to negotiate, most of which will not be less than 10 million US dollars.
The other is the old godfather, Mr. Marlon Brando, the famous actor who played the old godfather, who was not interested in him and put it aside without looking at the price.
Suddenly, a familiar face appeared in front of Su Mu's eyes, Li Ping'an was about to praise the beauty, and after reacting to who it was, he asked in surprise: "Kate, this is Kate, right?
