Chapter 397: Get a Great General
Hu Yiting wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so he asked Wang Lili to explain the 22-level salary system and employee stock ownership model of Chongguang to everyone in detail.
Seeing this, Hu Yiting took the opportunity to have a few drinks with him, and then said to Academician Ni: "Old Ni, tell me, Luo always goes to Trident to be a dispensable executive vice president, or is it better to come to us to redouble the light and roll up his sleeves to do a great career? Mr. Luo is really a technical wizard, and when I see him today, I feel that he is really worthy of being your beloved apprentice, and he knows both software and hardware! Where can I find such talents? Do you want to give them to foreigners for nothing? I am not reconciled! I don't want to use people, but I am eager to seek talents!"
Academician Ni had not opened his mouth to persuade his disciple before, obviously waiting for the time to be ripe, and now after a few cups, when he heard Hu Yiting's words, he knew that this kid was hinting that he was helping him.
Academician Ni finally spoke, and when he came up, he made a strong statement, "What kind of American company are you going to? Play the piano indiscriminately! The executive vice president of the general branch, isn't this just the deputy director of the office! Don't go!"
Luo Zheng was stunned when he heard this, Hu Yiting and Wang Lili were also taken aback, but they didn't expect Academician Ni to say nothing, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he made the decision for Luo Zheng.
Academician Ni put down his chopsticks, picked up the half-tael wine glass in front of him and drank it all, and then said: "Luo Zheng, do you remember that I told you why I gave up the high salary of the National Research Institute of Canada to stay and return to China?"
Luo Zheng nodded silently.
Academician Ni explained to Hu Yiting, Wang Lili, Jing Guangtong, Dou Shicheng and others who were puzzled: "My salary in Canada at that time was 43,000 Canadian dollars, equivalent to 70 times that of China, which is considered a high salary in the West.
But once, I passed by a local shoe store and saw a beautiful window displaying pairs of foreign-made leather shoes, which were very expensive, and in the basket near the door, there were a large pile of "Made in China" cloth shoes, 1.99 Canadian dollars a pair to choose from. I was in that mood at the time, I really had mixed feelings, when can we make in China not be connected with the simple and low-level?
So I thought, if I don't come back, what I've done since then won't help Made in China. It's as simple as that, I chose to return to China. ”
Luo Zheng was silent, picked up the small wine glass in front of him and drank it dry, grinned, took a sip of wine, and said to Academician Ni: "Teacher Ni, you don't have to say it, I won't go to Trident, Chongguang is going to have a fierce fight, I can participate, but I have a request." ”
Hu Yiting was overjoyed: "Mr. Luo, just say it." ”
Luo Zheng looked at the empty wine glass in front of him, nodded and said: "First of all, we must ensure that the R&D funds are in place, I think this should not be difficult for Chongguang, you can give employees such a high salary, presumably there are plenty of funds now." ”
Hu Yiting smiled and nodded: "Funds are not a problem, I will give you 10 million a year, not enough to say, ten years of research and development can not be done, I will give you 20 years, one day does not make China's own core technology, we do not give up for a day, Chongguang is a company with a sense of mission, we Chongguang makes money just to achieve ideals, not simply to make money for the sake of making money." ”
Luo Zheng looked at Hu Yiting: "Mr. Hu, I admire you! I was hoisted to the Changxiang Personal Computer Division as the chief engineer of hardware development, and I personally led someone to test your Youying Overlord, I know how good your technology is." Technology doesn't lie, you are amazing!
Originally, I wanted to say the second condition, but the answer you gave me exceeded my wishes, I originally wanted you to give me five years, but you said that you can put money into it in ten or twenty years, and I will obey! Mr. Hu, I will do it with you!"
After speaking, Luo Zheng picked up the wine dispenser and filled himself with a glass of mellow wine, and said to Academician Ni: "Teacher Ni, I respect you, thank you for helping me make up my mind today, I am a natural person who can't make up my mind, you know." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed good-naturedly.
Academician Ni also picked up his glass and said with a smile: "The teacher will not harm you, I think Chongguang is the most suitable place for you, and it is a place where you can realize your dreams, I don't want to see the graduate students I worked hard to bring out to sell graphics cards for foreigners, we are engaged in technology, once we leave the front line of research and development, it is likely that we will never go back for the rest of our lives." ”
Luo Zheng said excitedly: "I know, it was because of imagination before...... Alas...... Everyone knows that I am your student, those projects you set up before, such as the plan to establish an ASIC chip R&D center, are now also cut by Mr. Liu, and there are more than a dozen other smaller R&D projects, all of which are one-size-fits-all, although I still have the title of chief engineer, but I am also disheartened, I can't do it, I really can't do it, and now I put forward two opinions and some people dare to scold me, how can I stay here? You have imagined the development plan for the next ten years, and all the serious R&D plans have been discontinued, and as a result, Mr. Liu's tape recording project is still continuing, what is the future of that thing? I can't see it at all! I put it forward at a technical meeting, but people privately reminded me that 'the boss used to do this business, and he still has a soft spot for this business.' So they just didn't say anything. ”
Academician Ni said angrily: "He used to work in the computing institute in the field of tape, and technically he only understands this, and he lacks relevant technical background for other businesses, so it leads to short-sightedness in business development prospects, a typical layman." But if you are a layman, you are a layman, and if you don't listen to the insider, it's really fatal, imagine that in his hands, I think it's the life of an assembly foundry. ”
Hu Yiting knew that Academician Ni's judgment was not bad at all, and imagined that relying on the support of the state and the strong policy background and technical background of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the wise leadership of Mr. Liu and his successors, it has developed into a super-large assembly plant for decades, assembling countless computers and printers and other electronic products, and has explored and developed a very down-to-earth growth trajectory, from more than 1.7 billion sales in 92 years, which is more than ten times that of Huachuang 100 million yuan, and developed to 2013, Huachuang's sales are 1.1 times that of Changxiang, and the profit is 5.2 times that of Changxiang. By 2014, the market value of Changxiang was as high as 15.3 billion US dollars, less than half of Xiaomi's valuation of 35 billion US dollars, less than Huachuang's valuation of 120 billion US dollars, more than 240 billion US dollars of Alibaba, and less than a fraction of the market value of 140 billion US dollars in 2015...... In short, it has pointed out a direction that is difficult to accurately describe in general language for all domestic enterprises......
