Chapter 235 Attracting Social Attention
Xinghai Group enjoys a high reputation and popularity among students, gives extremely high salaries and benefits, helps solve housing problems, and attracts a large number of graduates to submit resumes.
Fang Bai's words in his speech, "I don't like money, money is just a number for me", was quickly praised by students on campus, became a hot topic on campus, and also became a mantra for many students.
Of course, there is also some irony.
The so-called not interested in money is just that after the wealth reaches a certain peak, money is just a number for him, and it is no longer a dream he pursues, but a higher level.
Rich people often say that they don't take money very seriously because they are not short of money.
However, most people are on the road all day long just to be hungry and ready to eat.
Fang Bai's sentence "I'm not interested in money" is really poignant, and then the ridicule of "I'm interested in spending money" may be true to a person of his height, after all, people have a capital of 10 billion, but for most people, they save less than 100 yuan a month.
In addition, the remuneration and benefits provided by Xinghai Group have also attracted wide attention in the society, which not only attracted the attention of a large number of graduates, but also triggered the thinking about the attitude of enterprises towards employees and the distribution of social wealth.
Fang Bai's remarks and Xinghai Group's measures have been reported by many print and TV media, and have become hot topics in society, arousing more people's attention and discussion.
Many employees who have worked for many years are not as good as the starting salary of Xinghai Group for college students, and even half of it cannot be reached.
In addition, Xinghai Group gave a settling-in allowance of several thousand yuan for graduation, which was almost 10,000 yuan, which made many people envious and jealous.
Some business leaders believe that Xinghai Group should not give graduates such a high salary, which is destroying the recruitment market!
When employees know the salary and benefits of Xinghai Group, it will reduce their happiness and is not conducive to the production of the enterprise.
Personnel manager Lai Xia reported to Fang Bai about the impact of Xinghai Group's school recruitment, saying that too many companies don't like them to do this, and they have been criticized.
Fang Bai took a newspaper from Lai Xia, with a column on it, in which many social experts commented on some of the adverse social consequences caused by Xinghai Group's high salary.
He probably looked at it and couldn't help but sneer: "It's funny, it's their business that they can't afford it, you don't care what these bullshit experts say, no matter what we do, someone will criticize it, you have to get used to this." ”
"Okay, got it."
Lai Xia looked at the chairman's response, smiled and nodded and left the chairman's office.
She was a little angry, what kind of experts are these, they actually managed their company.
If not, the company simply won't receive many resumes.
During this time, Xinghai Group then recruited graduates from various colleges and universities in Shencheng, received a large number of resumes, and the competition was very fierce.
After two rounds of interviews, in the end, Xinghai Group decided to hire more than 300 graduates at Jiaotong University, with a hiring ratio of four to one, while the hiring ratio of other universities in Shanghai was even lower.
In addition to recruiting in Shencheng University, he also recruited in Jiangsu and Zhejiang University, but he did not recruit in the two top universities in the imperial capital.
Time flew by, and late October arrived as scheduled.
With the arrival of autumn, the temperature in Shencheng began to drop gradually, and the maple trees in front of the office building of Xinghai Group headquarters began to gradually change into autumn dresses.
The original green layers of maple leaves gradually turn yellow and red in the cool autumn wind.
The sun shines through the sparse clouds and onto the maple leaves, dyeing them golden yellow, breathtakingly beautiful. Occasionally, a few maple leaves, gently falling in the wind, are like autumn elves dancing in the air.
In front of the window of the office building, the employees of Xinghai Group occasionally look out the window and enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery.
In the first two days, the company spent more than 300 million yuan to buy 200 acres of residential land near the group, specifically for the construction of staff housing, after the employees knew, the whole company boiled, full of expectations for the future.
The chairman of the board of directors is true to his word.
At the moment, it has not been announced when the construction of the staff housing building will begin, saying that it will not start until the end of next year at the earliest.
The employees understand that after all, it costs a lot of money to buy land, and even after the construction is completed, most of the employees still have no money to buy it, but there is hope for it.
So, they just want to work hard and work hard to make money.
Walking in the workshop, Fang Bai can feel that the employees' attitude towards him is a little different from usual, the favorability has increased significantly, the admiration from the heart, and the sense of belonging to the company is stronger.
In the past, employees were indeed respectful to him, but they were more afraid, feeling that the company was just Fang Bai's company, and the sense of belonging was poor.
Now, they plan to buy the staff residence of Xinghai Group, that must be in Xinghai Group for a lifetime, Xinghai Group is half of their home, naturally they hope that the company will develop better, work for the company, but also for themselves.
The mindset of most employees has changed.
At the end of October,
Fang Bai communicated with the Shencheng government again and purchased 100 acres of commercial land in YP District and CN District each for the construction of Xinghai Square.
At the same time, 200 acres of residential land were purchased around Xinghai Square.
There is only so much land that can be bought, and if you want to buy more, you can only wait until next year.
The land in YP and CN districts is cheaper, 600 acres of land, and it costs 800 million.
Today, Xinghai Group has a total of 790 acres of commercial land, 1,000 acres of residential land (including 200 acres of residential land for employees) and 2,000 acres of industrial land in Shencheng.
The total acquisition cost is close to $4 billion, and if you put it in 20 years, the value of these lands will be more than 100 billion yuan.
Xinghai Group's main business is industry, but Fang Bai will not let go of hoarding land to accumulate wealth.
As of October 31, Fang Bai's personal wealth has reached 6.5 billion yuan, with a total of 1.4 million VCD machines sold.
It is estimated that in less than three months, his personal wealth exceeded 10 billion yuan, and his middle finger was upgraded again.
This time the upgrade will be level 7.
For Fang Bai, every upgrade of the middle finger means a qualitative leap. This gave him a huge competitive advantage and also made him a great success in the field of technology.
The middle finger is level 6, which makes his analytical ability reach the level of a world-class expert.
And what about level 7?
After getting off work in the afternoon, Fang Bai left the company and went to live in a single-family villa near Yu Garden.
The villa has a total of three floors, a basement, the construction area of more than 700 square meters, the construction age has more than 10 years, the decoration is quite new, only need to simply clean it up to live.
Today happened to be the weekend, and Qin Shuyu went to the new villa to spend it with Fang Bai.
Fang Bai employs two private chefs, who are mainly responsible for breakfast and dinner.
When he was in the company, Fang Bai ate Chinese food with employees in the company.
In addition to the cook, Fang Bai also hired an aunt to take care of the cleaning of the villa.
The cook and aunt who made breakfast lived in the maid's bedroom on the first floor, and Fang Bai lived on the second floor.
The maid's bedroom is generally arranged on the first floor or basement of the villa, and does not share the same floor as the owner, but the elderly may live on the first floor.
The basement of a single-family house generally has a patio, which can be ventilated, and living is not a problem. If it's a set-back villa, maybe the basement is the first floor.
There are also several bodyguards who rented a house nearby, and at night, two bodyguards went to Fang Bai's villa to work night shifts.
At ten o'clock in the evening,
Outside the window, the moon crept up the branches, casting a soft silver glow.
Fang Bai put down the book and looked at the perfect jade figure carved on the bedside, and was suddenly stirred.
She was wearing slightly transparent pajamas, like lotus flowers out of the water, elegant and bright, with a little rain and dew attached to the petals, so that Fang Bai was instantly drunk and couldn't bear to destroy, couldn't bear to pick.
Qin Shuyu noticed Fang Bai's gaze, and his face and earlobes gradually turned red, but those eyes were still clear.
"Eh, why do you think of me like that?"
Fang Bai didn't answer, just smiled slyly, walked to the window, and pulled down the curtains.
After a while, the curtain fell silently and the bed light went out.
I don't know how long later, the rain outside the window stopped, and the thunder stopped.
A few hours later,
The morning sun shone on Fang Bai and Qin Shuyu's faces through the gaps in the curtains, and the two of them slowly opened their eyes, feeling the warm irradiation and the gentle breath exhaled by each other.
Qin Shuyu suddenly realized his situation, and a shy flush appeared on his face. She gently pulled the quilt over and shyly pushed the lower cypress, motioning for him to get up first.
It wasn't until Fang Bai walked into the bathroom with a smile that she unhurriedly opened the quilt to find her clothes, and couldn't help but complain a little about Fang Bai throwing things, but at the same time felt a trace of sweetness.
Tidy up her clothes, walk gently to the window, open the curtains, the morning sun shines on her face, take a deep breath, and feel the fresh morning air.
In front of the window are a few old trees with lush foliage, and not far away is the artificial lake, which glows with a faint wave in the early morning, and contrasts with the surrounding greenery.
The villa next door is also far away from this villa and has a lot of privacy.
This morning, she wanted to accompany Fang Bai to the Xinghai Square construction site for inspection.
After washing up, I went downstairs and walked into the dining room, where the table was already full of hearty breakfasts, boiled eggs, porridge, fried dough sticks, steaming bread, and a glass of fragrant milk, as well as some exquisite breakfast side dishes.
Fang Bai watched her sit down before he began to move his chopsticks.
The two enjoyed this delicious breakfast in peace, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Qin Shuyu took a bite of the bread and praised: "Did you buy this bread outside?" It's delicious. ”
The aunt standing next to her heard Qin Shuyu's question, and replied with a smile: "Madam, this is made by the chef himself, it is indeed delicious." ”
Qin Shuyu came here for the second time, and she was a little unaccustomed to being called "Madam" by her aunt, and she felt a little like a big landlord in ancient times.
"Aunt Wang, you have worked hard, sit down and eat together."
"Thank you, ma'am, we've already eaten."
Under normal circumstances, the maid will not eat with the master, even if the master takes the initiative to invite, Aunt Wang, who has been a maid for several years, knows very well.
Unlike before, this gentleman and lady are very talkative and pay a lot of money.
After breakfast, Fang Bai read the newspapers and news for a while, and it was almost nine o'clock before he and Qin Shuyu left the villa, the two cars were already parked at the door of the villa, and the bodyguards were standing next to the car and waiting.
Ten minutes later, I came to the Xinghai Square construction site in XH District.
The construction is not progressing quickly, and the foundation works are currently being carried out. The second phase of Xinghai Plaza in Wencheng will be put into use, and he is looking forward to it.
After only watching for about ten minutes, Fang Bai left and took Qin Shuyu to the city center for a walk.
Now Fang Bai is a celebrity in Shencheng, the richest man on the surface, under normal circumstances, he will not wander around the market, mainly because many citizens recognize him and have to consider their personal safety.
There is no conflict between the business done by Xinghai Group and the head snake in Shencheng, and Fang Bai does not enter the messy place, there are many veterans in Xinghai Group, not to mention that Fang Bai has seven or eight bodyguards around him, and the local government is concerned, and the general head snake does not dare to provoke Fang Bai.
The next day, Fang Bai went to the company normally and invested in the research and development of diesel engines.
Diesel engines with small and medium-sized power already have a foundation, and they can be developed by the technical department.
He is now going to develop 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder diesel engines for use in trucks.
Generally speaking, single-cylinder diesel engines are used for agricultural tractors, 4-cylinder trucks for trucks, and 6-cylinders for heavy trucks.
At the same power, the more cylinders, the lower the noise and vibration.
Under the same number of cylinders, the higher the power, the greater the noise and vibration, which is why heavy trucks do not use 4 cylinders.
If a 4-cylinder diesel engine is used, the noise will be earth-shattering and polluting.
The more diesel cylinders, the greater the technical difficulty, and there are many factors to consider, which is a challenging task for Xinghai Group.
For Fang Bai, it was more difficult to let him redesign a 4-cylinder diesel engine.
In the final analysis, at present, it is still to buy imported diesel engines such as Cummins, dismantle, and through research, analysis and reference to the advantages of existing technology, some unnecessary difficulties and challenges can be avoided in the design process.
At the same time, for some necessary patented technologies, if it is impossible to bypass, it is a reasonable choice to purchase the right to use, so as to avoid the risk of infringement of intellectual property rights.
Fang Bai's gold finger is not omnipotent, and can only analyze errors and omissions in the original design, in addition to changing errors and omissions, but can not be further optimized.
If it's not a mistake or omission, the gold finger can't be analyzed.
Time flew by, and it was December very quickly.
In November, VCD machine shipments declined, from 500,000 units in October to 400,000 units, and cumulative shipments reached 1.8 million units.
Fang Bai knew that this was a normal phenomenon, there were so many rich families, and the market price of 3,500 yuan was not low, and some terminal merchants increased the price.
He held a high-level meeting and decided to sell for another two months, increase the sales rebate, and give away appliances and more CDs.
In terms of computer sales, only more than 400 units were sold, while the factory produced more than 1,000 units.
Fang Bai does not plan to expand production capacity, just maintain the current production capacity.
On November 20, a certain thought also announced that the 586 computer was successfully developed, but it did not attract much attention. (End of chapter)
