Chapter 293: Earned an American wage
Lin Qiangsheng did what he said, and the salaries of scientific researchers from China immediately rose to the same level as those of Americans. Even the salaries of the past few months have been made up for these people, and they are all paid according to the average salary of the computer industry in the United States.
In the seventies and eighties, the computer industry was a hot sunrise industry, with the invention of integrated circuits, the emergence of silicon transistors, computer technology with the promotion of process technology continued to upgrade.
According to Moore's Law, the number of components that can fit on an integrated circuit doubles and the performance doubles about every 18-24 months when the price remains the same. In other words, every dollar that can be bought for a computer will more than double every 18-24 months.
Information technology is advancing so rapidly that many computer-related companies are established in Silicon Valley every day. Computer technicians are regarded as a sunrise profession, in short supply in the talent market, headhunters from all sides of the headhunters are desperately digging around, and computer companies are breaking the head of the cage of talents, which has also caused the salary level of this industry to be higher than that of other industries.
In Silicon Valley, the average technology developer earns a starting salary of more than $3,000, and large companies earn as much as $5,000. Lin Johnson's American technicians are all paid more than $5,000, and senior engineers are all paid more than $12,000, which is considered to be a higher salary in the industry and comparable to Intel.
The engineers and technicians from China did envy and grievances after learning about the high wages of foreigners, but of course they did not ask Lin Qiangsheng for anything, because after all, they did not prove their strength, and because they were from China, and because they were Chinese. Isn't it normal for Chinese people to have lower salaries than whites in the United States, and American companies have invisible 'ceilings'!
Mr. Lin has been following the domestic wage level for the past few months. That is, they are paid a salary of 70 or 80 yuan per person, and they also receive a monthly subsidy of 30 US dollars from China, just like the standard for those who study abroad during this period. In fact, such a salary subsidy is already very high, and they can't earn this $30 a month in China!
30 US dollars plus 70 or 80 yuan, at most less than 70 US dollars, this is the monthly salary of these people!
This money also makes the engineers and technicians happy. They all saved up one after another, fantasizing about working here for a longer time, because they can receive nearly $800 for only one year in the United States, and they can already buy a good set of Japanese color TV electromechanical refrigerators and washing machines in the United States!
This is the discounted promotional price they saw in the San Francisco mall, and they didn't expect Japanese products in the United States to be cheaper than in China.
Now because of the successful development of the chip, Lin Qiangsheng has made up the salaries for these at one time, and sent all the arrears owed to them in the past few months to these people.
These people came to the United States in September, and by the end of December they were paid more than $10,000 each! And this is still the salary level of ordinary technicians. The salary of intermediate engineers and senior engineers is as high as 28,000 or 40,000 US dollars. And scientific research leaders like Professor Zhang Xi and Professor Dong Jiasheng made up $100,000 at one time, which is also the best reward for their hard work and development of prototype chips with their research team!
On the morning of December 27, Lin Qiangsheng paid all his salaries to these people, and everyone had a Mastercard.
He summoned everyone to the door of the laboratory, and seeing the heartfelt smiles and happy faces of the R&D personnel, Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "Have you all received Mastercard?" ”
More than 40 men and women are basically middle-aged, but now they are smiling like children, and it is really a happy Christmas!
"It's gone! Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you, Boss Lin," mixed with noisy shouts. The compatriots expressed their gratitude to Lin Qiangsheng by different titles.
They are very grateful to Lin Qiangsheng, before they came to the United States, they were still ordinary technicians in China. Since coming to the United States, I have not had any contact with the world. I also know very little about advanced technology, and everyone has a vague inferiority complex in front of their American counterparts, and they can't raise their heads!
Now that the chips they developed have succeeded, the R&D personnel suddenly feel that they are proud of themselves in foreign countries, and they are no worse than foreigners. What surprised the R&D personnel even more was that Lin Qiangsheng actually paid everyone a few months' salary in the United States at one time, making himself a rich man all of a sudden! This kind of thing simply cannot happen in China. Until now, there are still many people who can't believe that they actually came to the United States to develop chips and earn American wages as if in a dream!
Now hearing Lin Qiangsheng's question, many people invariably took out the gray card on their bodies, that is, there are tens of thousands of dollars in this magnetic card!
Lin Qiangsheng saw that everyone held up the cards, and his face was so happy. He smiled and pressed his hand and said to everyone: "I know that everyone is very excited to suddenly become rich. But I want to tell you, that's what you deserve! ”
A trace of doubt and abruptness flashed on everyone's happy smiles, and they put down their cards and looked at Lin Qiangsheng seriously.
"The salary I offer you is actually the same as that of American employees, and your R&D level is no worse than that of American employees! Practice has proved that you have completed the design and trial production of the chip excellently, and this money is what you deserve! At the same time, I also hope that all compatriots will work happily in the future, live happily, hold their heads high, we are no worse than foreigners, and we can also study the technology that foreigners can develop! Work with dignity, live with dignity! ”
Lin Qiangsheng's words moved many technicians and engineers, and some people shouted: "Thank you, Mr. Lin!" ”
"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"
Lin Qiangsheng looked at the excited mood of his compatriots, and he still didn't want to say something, that is, he wanted these people to no longer have inferiority complex in front of foreigners, and everyone's face could exude a smile from the heart.
Lin Qiangsheng shook hands with everyone and patted his shoulder, someone took the card and asked Lin Qiangsheng how to use this, and asked if it was more convenient to exchange cash, Lin Qiangsheng jokingly said: "Americans are developing credit cards, I think our company should take the lead!" You all have to learn how to use credit cards and show Americans that we're among the top of the bunch, not antique! ”
Everyone laughed and nodded in agreement.
Lin Qiangsheng also instructed: "In fact, there are also benefits to using cards, there is no cash on you, and in the long run, you will not be afraid of black people!" ”
Everyone smiled and took Lin Qiangsheng's words to heart. They are planning, everyone has a value of tens of thousands of dollars, what kind of household appliances should they buy, and some people simply think that the housing conditions at home are still very difficult, and tens of thousands of dollars are enough to make their own family live upstairs! Buildings and household appliances can be prepared, and I didn't expect to become a 10,000-yuan household when I came to the United States.
There is a saying in China that those who are engaged in technology are not as good as those who sell tea and eggs, and those who sell melon seeds can become millionaires!
The title of 10,000 yuan household has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and these scientific research workers did not expect that they could one day become a 10,000 yuan household, and it is a dollar 10,000 yuan household.
It seems that researching technology is also a shortcut to making a fortune!
Many people have such thoughts, and at the same time, they are secretly thinking about their future life plans, whether it is better to find a way to stay in the United States or return to their research units in China. Many people immediately rejected the idea of returning to their home country and wanted to stay in the United States no matter what.
This is also the thinking of most people in this era, and few people who study abroad return to China after completing their studies, let alone these scientific research and technical personnel. They have earned American wages, and they are not willing to be killed if they want to go back to the 9-to-5 work in China, to go back to the life of passing the day with a cup of tea and a newspaper at work.
While Lin Qiangsheng is paying his salary here, there is also a huge salary turmoil at the Bincheng headquarters.
On behalf of Lin Qiangsheng, Lin Xiang gave a one-time bonus of 3,000 yuan to the staff who had followed the company since the beginning, and she also raised the salary level.
The salary of ordinary front-line workers has increased from 120 yuan per month to 240 yuan per month, and the wages of production line team leaders, directors and department heads have been doubled to 360 yuan, 520 yuan, and 720 yuan
The heads, deputy directors, and directors of the business divisions, as well as the general managers, managers, and officers of the business departments, have doubled their salaries, and at the same time, they have also added incentives such as performance wages.
The scientific research personnel and leaders who join the company are rewarded, and a one-time payment of 100,000 US dollars is given to those who have scientific research achievements, and the scientific research team led by them has received a bonus of tens of thousands of dollars like their compatriots in the United States, and the salary of ordinary technical personnel has also been raised to more than 1,000 yuan!
Although it cannot be compared with his American compatriots, considering many domestic factors, Lin Qiangsheng still limits the salary of domestic scientific researchers to this level. Because making 1,000 yuan in China is still higher than earning 1,000 dollars in the United States. (To be continued......)
