308 Some people are happy and some are sad
It's noisy and bustling outside, but inside Infinite Future, it's full of enthusiasm and energy. Since the official announcement of the employee benefit program, as a member of the company, there is a significant difference in both subjective feelings and objective circumstances.
From the perspective of each employee's self-feeling, the biggest touch is that they are respected. Especially with the continuous spread of social opinion, the relatives and friends of employees have more or less envious eyes, which aggravates this emotion.
Respect for this kind of thing is a very subjective emotion, especially in the workplace, and it is not just about the amount of income. Companies that respect employees are generally treated in the same industry, but positions with high salaries do not necessarily mean that they are respected.
Respect in the workplace can be simply summarized into three points: first, the income is not lower than the industry standard, and it allows employees to live a certain quality of life; The second is a sense of achievement, the work done can be recognized by colleagues or society, and it is valuable work; The third is a sense of security, which allows employees to make trial and error to a certain extent, not to be rudely eliminated as they get older, and not to suddenly worry about the future in their spare time.
The first two points can be done by many popular industries and companies, but the third point is really very few. This sense of security is not the privilege of the previous state-owned enterprises, even if I am lazy and paddling, you have no right to fire and cannot deduct wages. Instead, you have done your job conscientiously, and you don't need to worry about the trivial things in life.
The reason why it can't do this is simple: no company can guarantee that it will always be profitable, and it will be the kind of high profit that can support high welfare. Even if there is, the company's shareholders are willing to share it with ordinary employees.
Fortunately, as long as Chen Wenhao is willing, there is no such and such a problem in the infinite future company behind the scenes. In Chen Wenhao's view, the basic technical elites who can successfully enter the company are the technical elite, and many people are invested in the project of digesting and absorbing black technology after joining the company.
What's more, he often said that technology should make life better. It is estimated that the vast majority of people regard this as a banner he set up casually, which looks beautiful but unattainable. He doesn't mind setting a group of role models for the outside world to see.
Of course, those who received the company's salary, turned around and began to scold their mothers, none of them could stay.
When everyone at Infinite Future is happy, Yan Guoping, the head of the space business division, may be one of the few exceptions.
When the outside world is questioning that the high welfare of the company in the infinite future will drag down the company, colleagues in other business divisions can use proud sales data to scare back, but the business department in charge of his turn always lacks confidence.
People's business divisions are based on billions of dollars, billions of dollars to create profits for the company, and his business divisions are also based on billions, but they spend tens of billions of dollars. There are very few ways to make money:
Although the individual passengers of the spaceship have signed up enthusiastically, the cost of 50,000 yuan per person is really better than nothing, which is more of a preliminary screening of user groups and the cultivation of the user market;
Although the charging standard of 1.5 million yuan per 100 kilograms is only half of the market price, it still has a lot of money compared to the low flight cost. However, with all three manned spacecraft in place, the frequency of flights has been increased to once a week, but the amount of business carrying instruments has not increased. Many scientific research institutions would rather hand over state-owned enterprises at a high price than risk change. The operational load of this section can only fill about half of the cargo area load (500 kg) per flight.
Thinking of this, Yan Guoping couldn't help but sigh, he himself was born in an aerospace major, although he transformed management after middle age, he also led the project research team, and his technical ability has not been lost. However, there is no experience in how to make profits through space technology, and there is no ready-made experience to learn from, since the development of space technology, mankind has relied on strong national investment, the road to commercialization has just begun, and a mature profit model has not yet been found.
What worries Yan Guoping even more is that the cost of each flight of the spacecraft exceeds the project's expectations, and the original estimate is that the cost of each flight is less than 2 million yuan, but the complexity of the maintenance of the twin engines, and the thermal insulation and shock absorption indicators that are improved to ensure the comfort of passengers have increased a lot of costs, especially after high-frequency flights, the cost of a single flight has doubled, exceeding 4 million yuan. The little revenue generated by each take-off barely covers the cost.
Although compared with the current mainstream aerospace method, the flight cost after doubling is still very cheap, Chen Wenhao has never questioned Yan Guoping.
However, a qualified workplace understands that performance is the strength of the right to speak. Especially in the comparison of the dazzling achievements of other departments, Yan Guoping is very worried about Chen Wenhao's patience.
At the beginning, because he was fed up with the personnel overthrow of the units in the system, and the various strange phenomena of laymen leading insiders, he resigned and left in a fit of anger.
The particularity of the aerospace profession determines that there are basically no private enterprises in China, and Yan Guoping is even ready to change careers. Unexpectedly, after being recommended by headhunters to join the infinite future company, he was not only able to continue to engage in familiar technical work, lead the project team to tackle key problems, but also walked to the forefront of the industry in the field of manned flight.
Yan Guoping likes the working atmosphere here very much, and once again ignited his aerospace dream. Only if you have lost will you cherish it more.
He was mentally calculating the progress of each project team. At present, the technical team has basically digested the company's reserve technology, which not only benefits from the high quality of the team members, but also benefits to a large extent from the power of the supercomputing center, which saves a lot of boring and lengthy repeated experiments and computing workload.
The cost of space flight is ultimately reflected in the cost of each kilogram of cargo into space. At the beginning, based on the paper parameters of technical data, the cost per kilogram should be within 500 yuan.
However, in actual operation, the price has always been above 1,500 yuan, and the cost of manufacturing and using the spacecraft's twin engines is too expensive to be the biggest reason. One is the violent energy generation of chemical fuels, and the other is the storage and high-power release, so that two completely different systems work together, and the requirements for the engine are close to harsh. In the short term, it is difficult to completely solve the problem unless the power of the electric propulsion system has made a leap breakthrough and can independently assume the power requirements.
That's an incredibly low number compared to its global peers. Yan Guoping knows that in the United States, the cost of space transportation in the first two years was still about 20,000 US dollars per kilogram, and in recent years, it has also been engaged in electric propulsion rockets, but it is not very mature, and I am afraid it has not been able to drop much.
Even so, Yan Guoping is not very happy, today's achievements are based on the company's reserve technology, it took two years for the team he led to digest, and it has not reached the theoretical qualified level. The company invited them to come, not to pay them to learn, of course, in the hope that they could show their value.
Of course, in order to avoid trouble, when he was to the outside world (mainly the inquiries of the relevant departments), he claimed that the transportation cost per kilogram of goods was 15,000 yuan, which was ten times higher, which is also what Chen Wenhao meant.
