Chapter 1005: Picking Up the Leak

Thousands of threads fell from the sky, washing away the tall buildings in the distance and the street trees nearby, and tirelessly washing the windows of Atletico Madrid's side.

The good sealing of German cars blocks out the sound of wind, rain and tire noise, and only the faint music from the car stereo is diffused in the cabin.

This is a small fleet, starting with a Mercedes-Benz R350 business car, in the middle is a Mercedes-Benz Maybach S600L luxury touring car, followed by three Mercedes-Benz S600s that look very similar but slightly shorter, and finally a Mercedes-Benz business car. Although Yishui'er blue brand black car looks very low-key, it still attracts a lot of attention because of its swaggering through the market, and photos and videos taken by passers-by have appeared on social media, which fully shows how the concept of "casual shooting" is deeply rooted in people's hearts and lives.

As far as Atletico Madrid's heart is concerned, it is natural to expect to take a domestic or self-produced car, but today's occasion is more special, and it must be enough to reach the status of a luxury car, and his dark horse extended range electric car is also far away at Ludao's home, and it is not capricious to speak for himself.

After a year of overtime, the electronic science and technology park built by Bee Group in Dongjiang High-tech Zone, located in northeast Guangdong, was officially completed and accepted, and the opening ceremony will be held today. In addition to him, the chairman of the bee and Wei Huailiang and other company executives, there are also leaders in charge of Heyuan City and High-tech Zone who were invited to attend.

He and his men will soon be moving to Heyuan to work, and establishing a good image will help to open up the situation better.

For this reason, Atletico Madrid acquiesced to Lao Wei's extravagance, calmly sat on the Maybach prepared for him, and pulled the other party up to express support with practical actions.

Retracting his gaze from the surroundings, he sighed: "It's really a big change! It's just that I haven't seen him for a year, and my popularity has increased a lot." ”

In front of the front of the car, the advanced eight-lane road surface is still spacious, but not as empty as last time, the buildings on both sides of the road have grown a lot taller, there are many more buildings that have not been seen before, and there are a lot more billboards and passers-by on the side of the road. All this shows that this is a fast-growing city, and it is not the same thing as the so-called "new cities" in the mainland that have empty roads and high-rise buildings but are not popular and energetic.

"Of course!" Wei Huailiang next to him picked up, "The Dongjiang Development Zone was upgraded to a state-level high-tech zone last year, and the infrastructure investment in the past few years has been effective, and more and more enterprises in Shenzhen Town have moved over one after another, and the popularity has risen all of a sudden." ”

For enterprises, the city where the headquarters is located is the home of their growth, but it is not the eternal home. As an economic animal, enterprises are always full of yearning for the place with the lowest production cost and the highest sales income, so it is normal to move away, and the difference is just "running away from home" or "expanding separately". As the land price in Shenzhen has reached new highs, more and more companies have chosen to move out, starting with the labor-intensive garment and toy industry, and then gradually affecting the electronics and machinery industries.

The hollowing out of manufacturing is an inevitable stage of urban development, and international cities such as Tokyo and New York have gone through this stage, replacing the pillar of industry with tertiary industries with higher gross margins, such as finance, entertainment, and retail. Shenzhen City has a clear understanding of this, rather than letting other places come to poach enterprises, it is better to take them out and turn the relocation of enterprises into "industrial spillover" and "influence diffusion", and then the Dongjiang River located in the hinterland of eastern Guangdong is favored to achieve counterpart assistance and economic integration with industrial transfer, and there is even a saying that Dongjiang wants to become the 12th district of Shenzhen in the industry.

In this wave of migration, the bees can be called the last to come. At first, there was no action, and when it was decided to immediately go all out, coupled with the small overall scale, the Bee Science and Technology Park only took one year to complete the construction and installation work, and now it has entered the trial operation stage. And their attention is also different from other enterprises, not only the production base will be located in Dongjiang, but even the R&D and customer service departments will move here, only the operation department will stay in Shenzhen, in fact, from Shenzhen moved here.

When Bee was founded, the real estate industry had entered the so-called "golden decade", with urban GDP and land prices and rents flying together, commercial office buildings and residential housing prices rising, not to mention the difficulty of finding a contiguous workplace that can accommodate a large number of employees. In the economically developed Pearl River Delta region, bees, a foreign monk, do not have such preferential treatment, the old factory has long been renovated, and new land will be given priority to local enterprises.

For various reasons, bees have a large number of branch factories in large and medium-sized cities such as Shenzhen, Yangcheng, and Dongguan, and the distribution of office locations in the same city is also relatively scattered. Atletico Madrid had long had the idea of replicating the "bee garden" model and bringing together the branches in the south, but it had not been possible to achieve the actual conditions before, and this time it finally got what it wanted.

It's just that he is satisfied, but the employees below have a lot of opinions. Bee is a private enterprise, not a state-owned enterprise, let alone a state-owned enterprise that aided the construction of the "third line" half a century ago, and the company's employees are not those state-owned enterprise employees who have a great sense of ownership, they can understand the company's needs to improve efficiency by centralized office, but it is difficult to accept this arrangement. After all, their houses, their families, their social security, and their circle of friends are all difficult to take away, which brings high migration costs, and it is obviously impossible for the company to pay a high settling-in fee for each employee.

Sending letters of protest to no avail, some employees submitted their resignations one after another, and left the company to find another job. Although Bee's maverick autonomous system and independent hardware have created a lot of job-hopping costs for them, resulting in many people who want to leave but can't leave, Bee has still suffered the largest wave of resignation since its establishment. Many of these people are middle-level elites with wives and children, and their departure has naturally caused harm to the development and production of bees, and the Bee No. 2 mobile phone is one of the victims. This concept mobile phone, which focuses on bending and deformation and intuitive calculation, has been made into a broken product that can only surf the Internet and cannot make calls due to manpower problems, and the shape is also full of slots.

After praising the rapid changes in the local area, Wei Huailiang turned his words but cried bitterly, "But it is still too remote here, the company's employees have great opinions, and morale and R&D progress have also been affected." ”

"Well," Atletico snorted noncommittally, and then asked, "Do you still have opinions?"

Wei Huailiang didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "There are naturally opinions and complaints, but there are many fewer than before. Under the persuasion and guidance of the group and the company, everyone has accepted the facts and gradually accepted this place. ”

In fact, even if he doesn't say it, Atletico is clear. As the only cyborg on Earth, and a severe member of information squirrel disease, he is particularly fond of collecting information through the web. In addition to public occasions such as social media and search engines, he does not exclude those hidden specific forums, and he has registered accounts on the "tree hole" forum on the intranet and the glass door and pulse on the extranet for a long time, and has collected anonymous complaints posted by some employees. Of course, it is only collected and analyzed as a reference for decision-making, but it will not retaliate against specific employees, and the overall complaining atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.

Shrugging his shoulders, Atletico said with a smile: "I don't think enlightenment has worked, but those who want to run have already run, and the rest of those people can only passively accept it." ”

"Uh!" Lao Wei was stabbed by his words, and his face turned red, so he had to say: "It's me who didn't lead the team well and caused trouble to the board of directors." ”

"Hehe," Atletico shook his head and smiled, "This pot is mine, what are you trying to do?"

Turning the conversation, he said again: "Since everyone is restless and dissatisfied, we have to find a way to keep the hearts of the remaining people." If there are any difficulties, don't hide them, and if the company and the group can solve them, they will try their best to solve them, and strive to let everyone settle down as soon as possible. If people don't jump out of the car and leave, they must let people really feel the benefits of this move, and they can't chill people's hearts!"

Wei Huailiang was awe-inspiring in his heart, the boss only said that he wanted to solve the difficulties to make people feel at ease, but he never mentioned taking care of the emotional cancellation plan, obviously not planning to compromise on this matter. At the moment, he also nodded heavily, first solemnly assured that he would strengthen management to ensure the smooth completion of the relocation work, and then really mentioned the conditions.

"First of all, there is the issue of children going to school," he said, "and there are experimental schools and kindergartens in Nankai in Dongjiang, and the quality of teaching is still guaranteed." However, if the Bee School also comes here, everyone will definitely feel more at ease. ”

"That's no problem," Atletico agreed, "Bee Education already has a plan to expand and build new schools, teacher training and equipment procurement have been completed, and five or six new schools can be opened at any time." Wait a little to negotiate with the Dongjiang side, it should not be difficult to get a place in a school, and if the situation goes well, it should be able to catch the start of the new semester in September. ”

"That's great, everybody will be happy. ”

"The Bee School was originally a welfare for the children of all employees," Ma Jing said indifferently, "It was not set up in Yangcheng in Shenzhen before, but it is completely because the educational resources here are developed and the number of key schools is sufficient, so we don't need to add to it." Now that we have moved to some remote Dongjiang areas, it is natural to make up for this link. What's the problem?"

"There is also the issue of employee motivation," Wei Huailiang said, "Although the number of people who left is small, they are the most energetic and energetic people." Although the rest of these people are not passive and lack of enthusiasm in their work, it is also a fact. Therefore, I hope that the group can be inclined in terms of incentive policies, and want to stimulate their ambition and ability. ”

Atletico raised his eyebrows and asked: "The most direct and easy way to motivate employees is to get promoted and raised, and Bee Mobile needs to increase the dividend share?"

"It should be good to increase a little," Wei Huailiang stretched out his hand and said: "When the science and technology park is put into operation, the self-sufficiency rate of our mid-to-high-end products will be significantly improved, and the gross profit margin will also increase a lot." I think so, the company can take a part of the cost savings and invest it in the dividend share, as a bonus for employees to support the relocation. ”

After thinking about it in his heart, Atletico nodded and agreed, "There is no problem with this, but I also have conditions." ”

"You say!" Mr. Wei said.

"The group can use all the cost savings to pay bonuses, but only this once, and it will return to normal next year. ”

This is tantamount to a bounty. The sooner the park is put into operation and the higher the autonomy rate, the lower the production cost of Bee Mobile, and the larger the bonus pool left for all employees to share. On the contrary, if the relocation work is delayed for a long time and is not completed by the end of the year, the bonus will be lost.

"That's no problem!" Wei Huailiang nodded heavily and accepted the reward.

"Well, I'm waiting for good news from everyone," Atletico continued, "What's the problem?"

"There is another," said Lao Wei, "but it is only my own suggestion, and it is still very immature. ”

"Oh?" Atletico was interested, tilting his head with interest and asking, "What advice?"

"I would recommend that the Group consider the possibility of acquiring Imagination Teologies, which would have a positive effect on strengthening our defence and keeping our opponents at bay. ”

British Imagination Technology is a well-known GPU design company, they gave up their own business of producing GPUs and graphics cards early on, and turned to sell IP licenses for display chips, and Apple is their largest customer. Driven by Apple, many third-party solution companies will also choose their solutions, which allows their PPUs to occupy 40% of the mobile GPU market.

But under the prosperity, imagining the future of the company is lacking imagination, before Qualcomm's "buy Qualcomm baseband, send Snapdragon SoC" in the way, making it difficult for their GPU to enter the flagship mobile phone, and then ARM company's "buy CPU authorization, send mali series GPU" continues to dig into the corner, and at the same time, the bee maverick CPU is also gradually growing, and so on, resulting in the company suffering from market decline.

Intel emptied its IT company stock last year and said it would give up the PoerVR license, and Apple also said last month that it would terminate the cooperation and plan to give up the PoerVR license and prepare to switch to Apple's GPU, which it is secretly developing.

The market value of the abandoned imaginary company plummeted and was soon put on the shelves for sale. And because of the fungible nature of GPUs, the market value of this company is far inferior to giants like ARM, and it really doesn't cost much to acquire them.
