Chapter 174, dealing with foreign-owned companies

Boss Cheng and they became the first customers of the information building.

With this kind of good thing, Li Ya will not forget his family, and the village decided to build another factory, and Shu Yue's father also came to join in the fun, and wanted to build a big one.

However, they were not as fast as their cousins, and before long their factories were up and running, using technology that they had bought back from the Soviet Union.

"Little Lizi, this time thanks to you for buying back the big truck engine technology. We can produce directly after installing the equipment, how much time and how much money we save. "Zhao Shengli came to Shanghai to pick up the equipment, and by the way, I came to see Li Ya.

"Lao Zhao, isn't this an opportunity. Li Ya said with a smile, "But with ready-made technology, we have to continue to research, the technology we bought is not advanced compared to other developed countries, and if we don't make progress, we will eventually lag behind." ”

"Of course, the research has to continue. Zhao Shengli said, "Otherwise, in the future, everyone will import more advanced ones, and we will have to go out of business." ”

"Now the technology is almost digested, right?" asked Li Ya.

"Almost. Zhao Shengli said, "In order to digest these techniques, I specially invited a few experts who know Russian. As soon as they heard that the purpose was to translate this technology and produce it themselves, so that they would no longer need to spend foreign exchange on imports in the future, they immediately asked me to bring them to the factory. ”

"Aren't all of their older generations like this?" Li Ya sighed. There are a lot of old experts in the companies under the group, who have been hired by the company after retirement, and they will not be as idle as those who will only occupy land and square dance decades later. "After the technology is introduced and digested, it costs a lot to improve on this basis. In previous years, RB spent 1:8 or even 1:10. That is to say, they spend 10,000 yuan to introduce technology, and they can spend 80,000 yuan to digest and improve, and truly form their own technology, which is also the reason why their technology has developed so quickly. This aspect is worth learning from. ”

"Research is a collaboration between the two of us, and you can do whatever you want. Zhao Shengli said.

"What a cooperation. I'm just going to let them help you, it's all yours. Li Ya said, "I am now building a gas turbine factory and a car engine factory, and there are too many projects, so I don't want to participate in your side." ”

"This ......," Zhao Shengli said with emotion, "I deserve to always let you help me like this." ”

"Who is with whom, after so many years of relationship, who will help you if I don't help you?" Li Ya said, "You also know that there are so many classmates in the class, and only you and Lao Yan can afford me." Now I can help you, I have to help, and if my company has difficulties in the future, I don't have to rely on you to help. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Zhao Shengli said.

"Let's do a good job and be worthy of being born in this big era. Li Ya said with a smile, "If we make the factory bigger and stronger, we can also compete with those big companies in the West." ”

"How dare you think about it. There is a big gap between us and the big companies in the West, and if we want to compete with them, we can't do it in a short time. Zhao Shengli said.

"The bigger the company, the harder it is to operate. Li Ya said, "When our technology comes out, even if it is a generation behind them, it will have a great impact on them." Many companies are the same, the most advanced technology and equipment have the highest profit per piece, but because the price is expensive, so there are fewer people who buy it, and what really makes money is the mature technology of the backward generation, although the profit is much lower than the comparison, but the customer demand is large. As long as we make a product with similar technology as theirs, the cost will definitely be lower than theirs, so what will they do to compete with us? How can we afford so many workers and salesmen when the profit is less? As long as we maintain this research progress, the fat horse will drag him into a thin horse, and the thin horse will continue to be dragged into a dead horse. ”

"The countryside surrounds the city?" Zhao Shengli said, "This has a head, as long as you keep tracking their technical research, ten years will not become twenty years, and if it continues, one day it will really force them into a corner." ”

"We're not only going to push them into a corner, we're going to have to compete with them. Li Ya said with a smile, "As long as the thinking does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties", as long as there is perseverance and continuous investment in research and development, the results will definitely increase. The reason why they have grown into large companies is because they are willing to invest in technical research. But what they are doing now is that there is no way to open the road, and we follow them, it is equivalent to having a road before, but it is overgrown with bushes and weeds, and we just need to cut down the bushes and weeds, and it is much easier to catch up with them. ”

When he came back from the Chinese New Year, Li Ya suddenly found that the number of foreigners he met on the street began to increase, they were of different skin colors and spoke different languages, which made Li Ya feel a little novel.

During the meal, Li Ya said to Shu Yue: "Now it seems that there are more foreigners, and today I went out shopping and met two groups of foreigners." ”

"Those should have come to invest in the country. Shu Yue said, frowning, "The companies below the group have reported that more than a dozen skilled workers have resigned, and it should be related to them." ”

"Dig into our corners?" Li Ya said, "Isn't it necessary to notify the company a month in advance of resignation?"

"They don't have to notify the company because they pay the fine directly. Shu Yue said.

Poaching is a common method used by a company in the beginning, so that production capacity can be built up quickly. But for the companies that are poached, it is difficult to deal with them. The technical backbone is the core competitiveness of a factory, and if the technical backbone is all poached, production cannot be carried out normally. And if you want to bring down a factory, as long as its technical backbone is poached, the factory will basically be abandoned. That's what Shu Yue is worried about now.

"How are you going to deal with it?" asked Li Ya.

"What else can I do? I can only raise my salary. Shu Yue said. If you are lagging behind others in your own technology, you are now forced to increase your salary, keep less profits, and invest less money in research and development, making it more difficult to compete with each other. But if you don't increase your salary, you can only watch others poach the company's technical backbone. Now Shu Yue can only stabilize the technical backbone first, and then make plans.

"If others give a high salary, if we don't give that high salary, the technical backbone will leave. In other words, it's a matter of money. Li Ya said, "This is easy to solve, didn't I say before that we can give away the shares of the machine tool company? If they want to increase their shares, they can also pay to buy from the company. ”

"Really give shares?" asked Shu Yue. Shu Yue is reluctant to give shares, this is what she has worked hard to run for so many years, and she will give it out at once, and it will be the same for anyone.

"I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf! If you don't do this, most of the technical backbone will be poached. As long as you are a technical backbone, you can pay several times the salary, and it doesn't cost much, and we can't just raise the salary of the technical backbone, right? The general staff should also increase, right? If you spend too much money in this way, you may be operating at a loss. Li Ya sighed, "We have to do this, so that they can also enjoy the benefits brought by the company's development, and they will identify with the company in their hearts." However, there is one point, when resigning in the future, the shares of the parties must be compulsorily repurchased by the company according to the market conditions at that time, and the shares cannot be held by people outside the company, especially foreign capital. "In the subsequent wave of state-owned enterprise closures, in addition to the backward technology of the collapsed enterprises, they cannot keep up with the times, and they need to pay wages to many retired workers, there should be reasons for the departure of technical backbones.

Shu Yue thought about it carefully for a while and agreed with Li Ya's method, which was the only way to solve the problem.

Shu Yue led people to work overtime, and finally made a plan after being busy for almost a month. During this time, more than 30 people resigned, but Shu Yue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Although more than 30 people are technical backbones, they have almost no impact on various companies, and none of the project leaders, senior engineers, and eighth-level technicians have left.

The reason why Shu Yue didn't release the news of giving away shares first was also the same idea as Li Ya, wanting to see how many people resigned during this time. If you want to leave, it's not interesting to keep the shares.

After the plan came out, Shu Yue strictly ordered confidentiality, convened a meeting of the general manager and deputy general manager of each company, and there was only one theme, employees who want to resign, resign within a week, without paying a fine, and if they do not want to resign, sign an agreement with the company: in order to ensure that the company's technology is not leaked, technicians are not allowed to engage in related industries within three years after resigning, otherwise they will be prosecuted for stealing the company's technology.

Three years are not allowed to engage in related industries, this restriction is a bit scary, many people who are reluctant to pay the fine will resign immediately, and they are psychologically glad to have such an opportunity. Some were frightened by the agreement and resigned and left.

After the preparations were completed, Shu Yue led people to start handling the transfer of shares one company after another.

Not only does the company give away shares for free, but you can also pay to buy company shares. The employees were a sensation all of a sudden, and even the company's senior management was shocked by the news. After the shock, they were happy, they were in charge of the company, and they knew very well what the state of the company was.

Although the employees below do not know how profitable the company is, they know that it has been repeatedly expanded over the years and has more and more employees. It's a rare opportunity to expand so quickly without making money, and everyone is going to take out their own money to buy shares.

"Old Zhou, don't you buy it?" asked the technician Xiao Lei to the old engineer.

"What to buy? The company has already given me so much. Zhou Lao said, "Just have enough money, what do you use it for? ”

"You're old in this realm, take it!" Xiao Lei gave a thumbs up and said admiringly, "But I still have to pay the mortgage, but I'm not as old as you." ”

"You're still young, and you still have to earn money to support your family. Seize this opportunity and pay off the loan sooner, so that there will be less pressure in the future. Zhou Lao agreed with Xiao Lei's idea.
