Chapter 289: The Battle for Talent

After the successful conclusion of the press conference on February 16, the last part of the employees on duty of Chongguang Company also began to take a short vacation for a week, and even the security guards were all sent home for the New Year, and only Hu Yiting, Wang Lili, Wu Tong, Zhu Xiaoqiao, Zhao He, etc., a total of 11 people remained on duty in the company and collectively celebrated the New Year.

Although it was the Chinese New Year, Wang Lili and Zhu Xiaoqiao, the chief financial officer, were busy in order to prepare the 95-year financial summary report; Wu Tong was busy writing the plan for the formation of the SSC department in the office; Zhao He insisted on staying because his home was in Xijiang, and the return ticket was too far away and the round-trip ticket was too expensive, and this time he was facing the computer to study the algorithm written by Hu Yiting for the DVD decoding chip; there were six people left, in addition to Hu Yiting, who were the Spring Festival duty personnel launched by various departments, responsible for answering the phone and contacting the branch during the Spring Festival。

The 18th was Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Lili ordered a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner from a nearby four-star holiday hotel to send to the company, and arranged to purchase a large number of snacks.

All the left-behind employees put down their work and began to drink from noon. In the office, Moutai, red wine, Coke, Sprite drank indiscriminately, although there were only 11 people, but they were also happy, and after drinking, most of them went to the lounge on the top floor to lie down.

Hu Yiting remembered Tong Mu's live broadcast in the evening, so he drank less, moved a chair and sat on the empty office floor in the afternoon, looking at the big color TV in the conference room, and smirked while watching.

Wang Lili woke up and went downstairs, chatting and laughing with Wu Tong while cleaning up the noon tableware on the long table in the conference room, and after cleaning up, she called the hotel to urge the hotel to ask their catering department to quickly send the evening table as soon as possible, and send two alcohol stoves over for hot dishes.

For this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Wang Lili also brought the pots and pans in her rented house to the company, just for a good evening hot dish, although the company has a microwave oven, but Wang Lili can't look at it, saying that the hot dish is not fragrant, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal can't be so good.

Hu Yiting watched TV for a while, picked up the phone in the conference room and called home, and after saying goodbye to Hu Yanan and Bai Ping, he hung up after chatting for a few minutes.

Wu Tong also moved a chair to watch around the TV, snorting melon seeds and laughing: "Why don't you fight for a while?"

"Almost every day, how can there be anything to say. But Sister Wu, aren't you going to call the United States? Isn't your husband there?"

"It's half past four in our time in the Northern Capital, and the time in Santa Clara is 15 hours behind the Northern Capital, and it's still early in the morning. ”

"Oh, hahaha, you see I forgot about it. ”

"Geniuses also have times when they are negligent, giggles. ”

"Sister Wu, how old is your child?"

"I haven't had a baby yet. ”

"Sister Wu, you are 62 years old, and you are 34 years old this year, why haven't you had children yet?"

"Isn't it weird? I plan to ask for it later, I originally planned to let my husband return to China after gaining a foothold in China, and then I will ask for it later, but now that I have just changed positions, I have to postpone my original plan. ”

"Don't, Sister Wu, just call your husband back, Chongguang needs people so much now, there is no room for your husband there, what is he doing now?"

"Also at Intel, I just transferred back to the headquarters from Intel's wafer factory in Penang, Malaysia last year, working in the motherboard chipset design department, he graduated from the University of Science and Technology, you are from Hui Province, called Cai Yizhong. ”

"That's a talent! We Chongguang now has X86, ARM, MIPS, Alpha four architecture licenses, in the future we will definitely design processors, we are thirsty for talents like your husband, Sister Wu, can you persuade him to change jobs?"

"He is a technical post, and the contract stipulates that unless he is fired or starts his own company, he shall not join any enterprise involved in the IC design business within three years after voluntarily leaving the company. ”

"Sister Wu, you are stupid in the United States, China is so big, do you think the Americans know everything? You let him leave his job first, come over and open a leather bag company casually, hang the title of a legal person, and actually preside over business in our company, so that it will not work. ”

Wu Tong hesitated: "I'm afraid this is not a big deal, right? He and I are both naturalized, and we will be punished by law as a US citizen." ”

"China doesn't have an FBI, who will investigate you so clearly?"

"But the news of the IC industry spread too fast, there are almost no unventilated walls, and I am afraid of leaking out to eat lawsuits. ”

"Sister Wu, you were afraid of the tiger and the wolf, how can you do great things? Haven't all the scientists who went abroad returned to China to serve the country, and besides, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and across the Pacific Ocean, what can the Americans know about the trends of Chinese talents? When they get the news, the daylilies are cold. And this kind of lawsuit is happening in China, and it is extremely difficult to collect evidence, without Chongguang Company providing them with employee lists and salary records, and without the Chinese government providing legal protection for their evidence, they can't even produce legal evidence, who will they sue?"

Wu Tong listened to Hu Yiting's words and was the same as Grove's evaluation of himself, and he was also nervous, thinking that he was really too conservative and lacking in initiative?

"What you said also makes sense, then let me ask him about his personal wishes, but as you said, there must be a cover of Ming Xiu Plank Road, and his real name cannot be used on the financial and human resources side!"

"Don't worry, as the manager of the SSC department, a 20A-level executive, Zhu Xiaoqiao of the finance department and Tang Li of the human resources department are at the same level as you. ”

Wu Tong heard Hu Yiting say this, and his heart suddenly settled, admiring Hu Yiting's cunning and sophistication, and on the other hand, ashamed of his inflexibility: "Then I will go to the United States after the year and talk to Lao Cai in person, I dare not say this kind of thing on the phone, it is rumored in our Chinese circles that the US government has recorded and eavesdropped on the telephone communications of high-tech talents." ”

Hu Yiting agreed: "It's right to be cautious, we can't leave evidence for Americans, but you two are also Americans according to your nationality, hahaha." ”

Wu Tong said with a smile: "What kind of Americans are we, as skilled immigrants, our husband and wife are labeled with the three words 'Chinese' everywhere." It's better in Silicon Valley, where the culture is more diverse, and there are many Chinese people in San Francisco.

But you must know that except for a few large international cities, the United States is a big rural area, not to mention conservative thinking, and racial discrimination can be serious. During Intel's internal management training, our lecturer said that if you want to truly understand Americans and American culture, you need to study American rural culture, because the essence of the United States is a collection of countless rural towns, and big cities are just accessories produced by highly developed industry and commerce. ”

Hu Yiting said: "After all, the United States has a long tradition of Chinese exclusion, and the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was enacted in 1882 to prohibit Chinese from owning property, was not repealed until 1942, and the law prohibiting Chinese from marrying with whites was not repealed until 1948.

In 1988, the U.S. government apologized for the internment of Japanese Americans in concentration camps during World War II and paid $20,000 in compensation to each of them. However, despite repeated calls from Chinese groups for the US government to apologize for the Chinese Exclusion Act, the US government has so far turned a deaf ear.

Isn't there a lot of news that Chinese Americans are particularly prone to robbery? This kind of country that regards Chinese as second-class citizens has nothing to be attached to. ”

Wu Tong said: "That's right, it's true, but the United States is a developed country, the income of staying there is much higher than that of the country, and the social welfare of the big cities in the United States is also better than that of the country, although the slums are bad, drugs and violent crime are rampant, but the middle-class community is still very comfortable, and the neighbors are rich and educated." Besides, who would go to the old black and old ink settlement to wander around, go there and take the initiative to find a robbery? If it is not necessary, I will not go once a year.

Besides, if Chinese companies can give us such a high salary as Chongguang Company, and the city construction is comfortable and modern, then where is anyone willing to stay in the United States. Your sister Wu and I also hesitated before naturalization, and later made the decision to naturalize, not because of the high income of staying in the United States. ”

Hu Yiting smiled when he heard this, and said in his heart that Wu Tong is still much stronger than those yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana people, after all, he has been educated by the country for so many years, and he will not forget his ancestors and forget his roots.

People are always animals that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, especially in these years, when there is a huge disparity in income at home and abroad, and it is impossible to require every international student to have a lofty ideological realm, give up the preferential treatment overseas and resolutely return to China to work! This kind of hope is simply unrealistic utopia.

Hu Yiting said with emotion: "I have been feeling that it is very good that you can come to Chongguang, Sister Wu! I am really very happy! I really hope that every international student can come back, everyone can contribute what they have learned to rejuvenate our country and nation, how good it should be!"

As the saying goes, if you are greedy for the crops in other people's fields to grow well, it is better to lower your head and cultivate your own fields.

In short, we will try our best to create favorable conditions to attract overseas technical talents back, and I hope that Sister Wu can help us in this area in the future. ”

Wu Tong nodded: "That's no problem, Chongguang's salary is still very attractive, if you want to talk about poaching, I think you still have to rely on the American branch, after all, the building near the water is the first month."

I also took this into account when drafting the construction plan of the SSC department, so I planned to set up a separate technical research institute and a dedicated human resources department under the US branch, which is responsible for attracting the best local international students, so that they can work in the local area first, adapt to the company culture and R&D environment, and then transfer back to China in due course. ”

"Sister Wu, you are very thoughtful, and I fully support you in this regard. ”

Wu Tong said with a smile: "Chongguang still needs to make progress at present, and we must integrate with the best foreign management mechanism as soon as possible, absorb good experience, integrate China's national conditions, and retain our flexible market adaptability and high-speed and efficient technology research and development characteristics."

For example, the practice that a person like you can top a research institute is something I have never heard of in Silicon Valley, and I have never seen a genius like you!

Probably it is our huge population base in China that we can produce a one-billionth genius like you!

Every time I see you, I am proud to be Chinese!

Do you know that the Chinese in Silicon Valley now give you a thumbs up!

My old Cai told me on the phone the day before yesterday that many Chinese technical elites in the IC circle in Silicon Valley are now educating their children to take you as an example! Everyone catches you out as a model, saying that we Chinese are the people with the highest IQ, and we will never allow our children to have worse academic performance than foreigners in school. ”

Hu Yiting laughed: "Then I'm really honored." ”

Wu Tong continued with a smile: "Now the international competition for talent is intensifying, as I just said, after many outstanding students from Chinese colleges and universities study abroad, many of them are employed locally, and they become naturalized after a long time, because the wages in developed countries are much higher than those in our developing countries." ”

Seeing Hu Yiting nodding, Wu Tong continued: "And the United States is currently the most attractive place for foreign talents among the developed countries in the world.

Because after all, they are the world's number one hegemon, there is no shortage of money, the investment in science and technology is high, and the personal tax is lower than that of Europe, and they have been the destination of talent flow since before World War II. If you look at his family's atomic bombs, radars, and rockets, these are basically all made for him by foreign scientists in the United States.

For example, of the ten scientists who led the atomic bomb research program, nine were foreigners, and only one was born in the United States. One-third of the senior engineers in charge of the Apollo moon landing program are of Chinese descent!

And not only is the United States poaching people from all over the world, but Japan and Australia are also poaching people!

Like Australia, they mainly recruit international students to study in their own country, and relax the naturalization criteria for these people.

Japan's approach is to set up research institutes next to the world's best universities, and at the same time set up scholarships at universities to discover talents up close and poach them at the first time.

At present, domestic technical personnel are attracted by the high salaries of Western multinational companies in China, and many of them flow to foreign-funded enterprises; I think that our technology is not worse than that of foreign-funded enterprises, and we can offer almost the same level of wages, and in this regard, it is very competitive! As long as the treatment is not bad, it is impossible for foreign capital to compare with us in poaching people!"

Hu Yiting continued to nod: "At this point, I am also very confident in Chongguang's salary structure!"

Wu Tong also said: "According to domestic statistics, a professional and technical talent, from primary school to university, needs 300,000 to 700,000 yuan of state investment alone, and this is still the average result of liberal arts and sciences.

In the battle for talents, we must be ahead of the curve!".
