In mid-January 1994, Lin Qi and Meng Xin returned to Shenzhen, after which Meng Xin returned to his scientific research position and continued to lead Lin Meng Technology Company to continue to climb black technology.

Lin Qi, on the other hand, inspected the living conditions of the low-income workers of the Xinai Industrial Group, which has the lowest income in the new entrepreneurship department.

After all, the threshold for entering Linmeng Technology Company is not lower than that of the New Venture Electronics Group, and many graduate students and doctoral students have to look at what major they are studying, to what extent of their professional level, and so on. Although the total salary and dividends are as exaggerated as the new venture electronics group, it is no problem to have more than 10,000 people and an average annual salary of more than 250,000 yuan. Compared with foreign counterparts, there may still be a certain gap between the employees of Linmeng Technology Company, but this gap is not very large, and with the development of Linmeng Technology Company, they are generally high-income scientific researchers, and their salaries are still growing rapidly.

Among the many enterprises under the New Venture Electronics Group, the top of the pyramid is naturally the headquarters of the New Venture Electronics Group, just in terms of basic salary, it is a guaranteed annual salary of 200,000 yuan. What's more, more than half of the employees have already relied on equity dividends to get more than wages. The per capita annual income of Xinchuang Electronics Group is more than one million, and there is no water at all.

In addition, the average salary level of employees in overseas branches, such as Japan, the United States, Europe and other relatively developed regions, can reach more than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars per capita, which is higher than the average local income level. After all, it is impossible to attract more than average quality employees if you do not exceed the average salary level.

Other independently operated subsidiaries, such as Pangu Computer Co., Ltd., Hang Seng Bank, Xinfei Electronic Technology, Zhangyu Technology, Tesco.com, TT Network Technology, Phoenix Games, Xinchuang Communications, Xinchuang Xin, Wang An Computer, Columbia Pictures and other companies, are also treated well. Although it is not as good as the overseas branch of the new venture electronics group, it is not as good as the headquarters. But basically, the annual salary level of 100,000~300,000 yuan is the average salary level of these high-quality subsidiaries.

Even if it is not affiliated with the New Venture Electronics Group, but a parallel group company, such as the New Venture Film and Television Group and the New Venture Publishing Group, although the annual salary is not very high, it is still an echelon that can enter the echelon with an average annual salary of about 5~100,000 yuan.

Xinai Industrial Group has more than 2 million employees, and 95% of the employees of the New Venture Department are employees of Xinai Industrial Group, but the salary package is not comparable with other units of the group.

Super Industrial Group, which employs 2 million, spent about 17 billion yuan in total payroll last year. The average annual salary per capita is 8,500 yuan, which seems to be slightly higher than the current average salary in China, but the excess is limited, and this is more than 4,000 hours a year for employees.

If you don't work overtime at all, you will work 6 days a week according to the normal workday of 8 hours. Then, in a year, you can only get an income of about 3000~4000 yuan. It's not much better than many of the private factories in the South at the moment.

In addition, the welfare mechanism of Xinai Industrial Group is actually the worst and simplest in the group, and there is basically no basic protection such as serious illness medical insurance and pension insurance.

In fact, such a low-guarantee system was very common in the early days of reform and opening up.

It was not until 97 years later that the social pension insurance system was generally implemented in China, and then major enterprises gradually gave employees social security and medical insurance. Previously, before the state did not promote and compulsure, there were only some large states and government departments that had relevant pension and medical benefits.

Lin Qi is not a black conscience and unwilling to give employees social security and medical insurance, but for a long time, he has paid little attention to specific management and welfare systems. As a result, enterprises that ignore this era do not give their employees more sound medical care and social security.

After Lin Qi returned to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan and other factories to visit, he found that the bottom workers were indeed too bitter. A normal income saves money, and I can't afford to buy a computer for a year.

Home appliances, buying a house, buying a car, etc., are even more unrealistic dreams for many people. Even, the dormitory in the factory has a television, which is regarded as a great benefit.

Under normal circumstances, workers are dreams, saving money to go back to their hometowns to build houses, and even the idea of settling in the city where they are located is unthinkable.

What's even more terrifying is that I don't dare to get sick, if I get sick, my life will basically be ruined, because there is no medical insurance for the foundry under Xinai Industrial Group.

I don't dare to get old, because if I get old and can't continue to work, I can't save money anymore.

Even so, in Lin Qi's opinion, it should be regarded as extremely poor, and a year's savings can't actually afford to consume a few more luxurious electrical appliances and clothing.

Even so, many workers also think that Mr. Lin is good, and new uniforms will be issued every year, spring and autumn clothes, winter and summer. In terms of eating, the cafeteria is relatively cheap.

It's just "incompetent", and it is impossible to become richer by working.

In this regard, Lin Qi is not only a little ashamed, at least, he will not be shameless enough to say, "You are poor because you are lazy" and other stupid things. Although, poor and lazy people may exist, but they are a minority after all.

Most people are not lazy and hardworking, but it is difficult to become rich no matter what.

Where are the opportunities for profit and affluence?

It is not even as simple as the exploitation of the labor force at the bottom of the New Love Industrial Group, but the fact that the New Love Industrial Group receives orders at the lowest cost does not generate higher profits in itself.

More profits have been taken away by high-profit departments, such as Pangu Computer, Konka Electronics, Wang An Computer, Zhangyu Technology, Phoenix Games, Hang Seng Bank, New Venture Semiconductor, etc...... Because of the difference in the division of labor, the surplus value that employees in some division of labor can obtain per capita, even if they work hard, is limited.

The market division of labor or distribution mechanism is not a big pot of rice, but the law of the jungle. Enterprises that master core technology, market channels, brand advantages, and capital advantages will take away more profit cakes.

However, the foundry that only has cheap labor but is not irreplaceable ordinary workers, and originally relies on lower prices to receive orders to increase profits.

In the future, it is possible for foundries to rely on the improvement of labor efficiency, that is, to adopt more efficient machines and processes to increase per capita productivity, so that people can obtain higher output value and wages. However, this is based on the higher quality requirements for workers, and in the future, each worker may be required to the level of engineers and scientists, so that workers who can only have simple skills may lose their qualifications for exploitation under the premise of continuous technological upgrading.

However, the conditions for technological upgrading are more based on exploitation. Exploit the low-end labor first, and then, use the exploitative profits to upgrade the technology, and after that, the low-end labor force is not needed. Only a few people are needed to use more advanced machines and complete more orders.

Of course, Lin Qi is not the kind of cold-blooded animal, but a sincere reflection, Xinai Industrial Group's model of relying on more and more workers to improve the scale should gradually change in the future. It is not achieved through layoffs, but the older generation of workers are gradually given pension, medical and other guarantees, and gradually retire.

After that, recruit the younger generation, which is less in number and more demanding. After that, the younger generation, with more advanced knowledge and understanding, harnessed more advanced design and technology to produce, each generation is more productive than the next generation.

To put it simply, the scale of the number of people cannot be expanded now, but it is required to improve the per capita efficiency and per capita treatment while the scale remains the same.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the history of the establishment of Xinai Industrial Group is almost synchronous with that of Xinye Electronics Group. Starting with the manufacture of electronic calculators, arcade machines, etc., it has become the most important manufacturing department of our entire group. Lin Qi told all the workers watching the live broadcast on Chinese New Year's Eve, "Without your hard work, we would not have become a technology giant that supplies all kinds of products to more than 500 million consumers around the world." Without you, the products developed in our laboratories would not have been able to become mass-produced products. ”

"But all along, our Xinai Industrial Group has been engaged in the most arduous and tiring, and the salary is far from being comparable with other brother enterprises in the entire group. In fact, many of the technologies engaged in by Xinai Industrial Group are completely high-tech in the eyes of the outside world, and can not only assemble computers, but even some circuit boards, but also design and manufacture. From the beginning, it almost relied on manual work, and gradually developed to the present, the factory is full of advanced automated production lines. In terms of per capita production efficiency, we are not as low-end as we were more than 10 years ago, and we can only rely on human assembly. It is clearly an industrial complex that is constantly evolving and producing with intelligence. ”

"However, there are still very few advanced production lines, and a large number of old production lines are still relying on backward ways to produce. Per capita efficiency is low, and per capita income is also very low. Previously, I saw from the summary of the annual report of Xinchuang Electronics Group that Xinai Industrial Group, which has 2 million employees, only spent more than 17 billion yuan on salary last year. In other words, the average monthly salary per capita should only be 600 yuan. ”

"I have not been able to let everyone get a more decent salary and benefits, as the chairman of the company, I am ashamed. After all, I have always kept in mind the ideal of getting rich first and getting rich later. I can't Lin Qi and some of them get rich first, but I don't think about how to get rich later, right?"

"So, after reflection, I decided, firstly, that all employees currently employed by Xinai Industrial Group will not be laid off. Second, the development of 55-year-old employees, such as non-management, technical advantages, ordinary level of employees, is to arrange retirement, retired employees, we pay the same retirement salary standard during the on-the-job period, and the annual retirement salary according to the domestic statistics of inflation data, to be raised. Third, the company pays medical insurance for all employees, and once they get sick, they can use medical insurance to reimburse, so that everyone will not dare to see if they are sick. Fourth, the principle of new employee recruitment is that the number of old employees retired and the number of new employees recruited by Xinai Industrial Group should be a little less than that of those who retired. In the future, the scale will gradually shrink to 2 million people, and it will not be about expanding the scale, but about improving the skills and efficiency per capita. Fifth, on the basis of the current salary, all employees will raise their basic monthly salary once a quarter, and each monthly salary will be raised by no less than 10 yuan......"
