Chapter 41: Heaven and Heaven

From December 31, 2007 to New Year's Day 2008. In the two days at the turn of the New Year, there were two fierce giants in the Chinese circle, standing on the cusp of public opinion.

One is Gu Mojie's Hatsune Group. After the video of Hatsune's Christmas annual party fermented on the Internet, it formed a craze that is not enough to describe the phenomenon. For a while, outsiders are certainly watching the excitement and coolness, and by the way, they worship Hatsune's technical content; Insiders lamented Hatsune's good treatment, good welfare, and superior incentive system. In addition, countless people in the legal field have praised Gu Mojie's management of the law, believing that it is a model of goodwill incentives.

The reason why people from the legal profession also came in to join in the fun was because there was another giant.

That is Mr. Ren Zhengyi's Xia Wei Technology in Shenzhen.

In the past two days, Mr. Ren has stood on the cusp of the storm and has become the target of criticism from the people of the big pot of rice.

Because, on January 1, 2008, the "Labor Contract Law" was officially implemented, and the "Labor Law", which had been used for 14 years from 94, finally ushered in a successor.

Then, Mr. Ren dǐng under the pressure that Qianfu pointed out, and did an earth-shattering thing at this moment.

The Labor Contract Law stipulates that since the implementation of the Law, if an employee signs a fixed-term employment contract with an enterprise twice in a row and then signs a contract for the third time, the enterprise shall sign an indefinite-term employment contract with the employee unless the employee himself insists on it—that is, after you have worked for an enterprise for three contracts, if you have not made any mistakes in principle, the enterprise cannot dismiss you individually (mass layoffs are not counted).

In addition, if it has served continuously for more than 10 years, or has been less than 10 years away from the retirement age, it cannot be dismissed casually (the specific law is more complicated, and I do not pursue precision here, but just a general generalization, otherwise it will be too watery.) )

These new measures of protection for employees were not included in the old Labor Code.

Then Mr. Ren braved the world's disapproval, dǐng on December 31, 2007, on the eve of the implementation of the new law, suddenly let Xia Wei Technology tens of thousands of employees, "take the initiative" to re-sign the contract after terminating the contract with the company, and generally the newly signed contract is stuck in the service period of 6~8 years.

The purpose of this is, of course, to regulate (5)⊥dǐng(5)⊥diǎn(5)⊥小(5)⊥ say, .←.≈os_; Avoid the new law, postpone the additional protection of the new law for five or six years before it actually takes effect at the head of Xia Wei Technology, and interrupt the service life of the backbone veterans.

"Bloody capitalists!"

"The executioner who squeezes cheap labor!"

"It's no wonder that in Xia Wei Technology's real room, there is a 5% sudden death rate of engineers and programmers! I don't treat people as people! ”

The Big Pot Rice Lady finally found a target that could be sprayed, and it was full of fire for a while. Mr. Ren explained in a stern manner, but the impact was obviously much stricter than he expected.

He may really be a little old, but he didn't expect that there are so many big pots of rice in this world now.

……

"We have always been a socially responsible enterprise! We have never tried to infringe on the rights and interests of workers! All the behaviors of voluntarily interrupting the original labor relationship and resigning the contract on the eve of the implementation of the new law are voluntary by the employees, not forced by us.

We can come up with evidence for this: we have adopted the method of material rewards to actively motivate employees to interrupt labor relations and re-sign, for which we have issued an average of more than 100,000 yuan of compensatory rewards to each basic management and R&D department engineer, and tens of thousands of yuan have been issued to grassroots sales and technical support personnel. There were cases that we didn't want to stop, and we didn't force them. Therefore, all employees who voluntarily interrupt their employment relations because they are confident that they can do better in the future, and that they will not be fired by the company even if they do not rely on the protection of the new law......"

On January 7, in his office, in front of reporters from Guangdong Provincial TV and Southern Finance and Economics, Mr. Ren emphasized the above arguments.

When he said this, his mouth was a little dry and he couldn't do anything. But I still didn't forget to tell the secretary: don't forget to pay the two reporters for the carriage and horses, and the camera can't be pulled down, so let them go back and help well.

After everyone left, Mr. Ren, who was behind closed doors, felt powerless, and muttered and complained while browsing the notes and memos in front of him:

"It's like turning back the clock on history! It's been open for so many years, and we have to follow the example of the Americans to strengthen the trade unions, and why can employees fire the boss at will, and the boss can't fire the employees, isn't this encouraging big pot rice!

The offspring cub of the Hatsune Group is also, I don't know how thick the sky is, so sprinkling money to win people's hearts at a young age, and the appetite will be raised in the future to see how you end. Alas, if it weren't for the Hatsune Group just throwing money and selling it well in the past few days, it would have made a counterpoint to us, and the circle would not have such a big opinion on us! ”

Mr. Ren saw it very accurately, if it weren't for the fact that the Hatsune Group, which is also in the same circle and even has a certain communication enterprise attribute, happened to buy people's hearts at the same time, Xia Wei Technology's action would not have provoked such a big backlash from the society.

And Xia Wei's measures to circumvent the new law have been set a long time ago, and it has been planned for several months, and it is impossible to adjust the plan because Hatsune has held an annual meeting, so it can only be that after the influence of the Hatsune annual meeting incident has become strong, it will continue to be hard and make it difficult to ride the tiger.

In the eyes of outsiders, although Xia Wei is a pure communication company, Hatsune is mainly Internet-based, but the two companies still have great similarities: first, both companies have communication business, although Hatsune does not make base stations, but does mobile phones and digital jù card terminal products; Xia Wei was born as a base station and switch, and now he has also begun to make mobile phones and digital cards.

What's more, these two companies are the only non-listed companies in the domestic circle, and there is no American-style compromise (PROS) where the board of directors and major shareholders have the final say.

Therefore, in this section diǎn, it is inevitable to compare Hatsune and Natsu.

Ren Zhengyi drank a cup of tea, and the secretary pushed the door in, put a few pages in front of him, and slowly shook his head.

"It seems that this wave of washing has failed again." Ren Zhengyi is in his 60s, but he never accepts old age, but at this moment, he suddenly feels a little old.

Brother Teng Xun Xiaoma in the same city has a famous saying, which is about the frustrated seniors in the circle: "You are not wrong with anything, you are just old." ”

Ren Zhengyi was anxious, and the secretary transferred him to a phone call.

"Mr. Ren, it's a call from Hatsune Group, Gu Mojie himself, do you answer?"

"Who?" Ren Zhengyi was stunned, he and Gu Mojie had never intersected, or at most, they met and said hello at some national government industry meetings, that's all. Gu Mojie called, it was something that had never happened before.

However, just because you don't have a friendship doesn't mean you can't pick it up.

"Let's go in."

"Okay."

The secretary turned around, and soon a voice on the other end of the phone rang that Ren Zhengyi was not familiar with, and could only say that he had a slight impression of diǎn. The voice is very hearty, and it is very energetic to listen to.

is too young, listening to this voice, Ren Zhengyi inexplicably feels old. The youngest engineer under his command, unless he is a fresh graduate who has just graduated for half a year, who can be younger than Gu Mojie.

"Mr. Ren, I'm really sorry, I didn't know in advance. You are so burdened that you are a negative teaching material for holding an annual meeting, you won't blame me. ”

"There is a lot to say about their respective business strategies. You don't owe me, you can play as much as you like on your own turf. ”

"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Ren is still angry in his heart, at least he thinks that I don't know how to fool around."

"If there is nothing to do, if there is something serious, just say, I am diǎn busy." Ren Zhengqing is very good, not rude, but also just right to show that he is impatient and nonsense with the other party.

"Don't reject people thousands of miles away like this, in fact, I'm not the person you imagined to be a swollen face and fat man, burning money and pretending to force money in the stock market. Hatsune has made great progress in the communication terminal industry this year, and there is also a layout, so there is a lot of room for cooperation between you and me.

Even on the issue of the Labor Contract Law, our opinions are actually similar. If you feel that the pressure has been too much recently, I can solve your problems and not charge you money, which will be regarded as showing the sincerity of our cooperation. ”

Gu Mojie's words were not short, but he still spoke slowly and logically, like an old friend chatting and chatting. Ren Zhengyi wanted to interrupt several times, but was taken away by the other party, and finally failed to interject.

This young man's aura is actually so strong. Without hurrying or slowing, Mian Bobo brought up the rhythm of chatting.

"You Hatsune will agree with us on this issue? I thought you knew how to burn money to buy faithfulness. Ren Zhengyi held back for a while, just such a faint counterattack.

Gu Mojie's voice on the other end of the phone was very calm and humble, and he couldn't hear the meaning of being angry:

"Then you can misunderstand me - just before the annual meeting, we at the Hatsune Group also successively terminated the contracts with more than 600 engineers and middle managers, interrupted the labor relationship, and the contract period was basically 6 years. It is equivalent to allowing the "Labor Contract Law" to come to us five years later.

The reason why the scale is not large and not as strong as yours is that our Hatsune has only been established for a short time, only more than 4 years in total, and the old employees with more than 2 years of contracts are only six or seven hundred in total - you can't let me have nothing to do and find trouble, and fire the newcomers who were originally signed in last year and re-sign them, right? ”

"And that kind of thing?" Ren Zhengyi's prejudice against Gu Mojie finally reined in a little, and his tone became stricter, no longer the downward-looking tone of the seniors who "gave birth to cubs in the future, I don't know how thick the sky is" at the beginning.

"Of course, what's there to fool you about. It's just that I'm a high-profile person who gives out money, and I poison my subordinates in a low-key way - do you think that giving those backbone employees an extra 50,000 yuan in red envelopes is just for their reward for fighting Ma Huateng? ”

Ren Zhengyi finally didn't dare to underestimate the 22-year-old young man opposite. It seems that the other party is not only sharp in management, but also has a lot of achievements in grasping the internal situation.

Although it can't be compared with Ren Zhengyi, an old man who has been crawling for more than 40 years, it is far beyond the maturity that Gu Mojie's age should have.

"Let's see how you think we can work together." Ren Zhengyi took a deep breath and took the initiative to send out an invitation to cooperate.

If you lose one diǎn in the aura, you should lose one diǎn, and you should let one let the young people. (To be continued.) )
