It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Luo Nianzhong arrived at the industrial building in Tsuen Wan. At this time, Uncle Fu was already waiting here with a middle-aged man in his 30s.

At this time, there were already many workers in the factory, some of them were cleaning and some were unloading goods.

The processors, storage chips, controllers, displays, etc. customized by Luo Nianzhong have begun to arrive.

However, the quantity required by Luo Nianzhong was large, and Hong Kong Island did not have a lot of reserves in this regard. Except for a small manufacturer in Hong Kong Island, which could barely produce a quantity of displays that could be delivered within ten days, only part of the other accessories had arrived, and the rest had to wait.

"Master, this is Liang Jiadong. I just took him for a brief tour of the factory."

"Hello, Luo Sheng."

"Hello, Liang Sheng."

After the two parties greeted each other, Fu Bo took Luo Nianzhong to visit and told him about the current situation of the factory. Liang Jiadong naturally accompanied him.

"Now the factory has recruited about 1500 people, of which about 600 are poached with high salaries. They are all skilled workers from nearby factories and are very familiar with welding work.

Most of the remaining people were sent over by Big Head B, and they all have some knowledge. They should be easy to get started with assembly and other tasks, and no excessive teaching is required."

"Well, that's good. There were 1500 people in just two days. It's very efficient." Luo Nianzhong is very satisfied with the recruitment efficiency.

"This is why our salaries are high."

Forbes is right. The average salary of factory workers in Hong Kong last year was about 2380 per month. For those skilled workers, the general wages in other factories range from 2600 to 3000, but Luo Nianzhong directly quoted 3500.

Not to mention unskilled workers, the basic monthly salary is less than 2000. Luo Nianzhong offered a lower price, HK$1500 a month.

The reason why we can recruit so many people is that 1500 is the basic salary, and they also have piece-based commissions, so they get around 2000 to 2500 per month.

So why haven’t skilled workers adopted this model? The main reason is that Hong Kong Island does not yet have this model, and Luo Nianzhong is afraid that skilled workers will pursue quantity without ensuring quality.

It's easy for unskilled workers to say that apart from loading and unloading, it's also installation, and even minor flaws won't affect use.

But welding technicians are different. If the yield rate is too low, it will affect the progress and expenses. It is a trivial matter, but it will affect the reputation. Luo Nianzhong cannot accept it.

You can't allocate a group of technical workers for quality inspection. Then you might as well pay them more, and just fire those who are really cheating.

An arcade machine generally requires two people to assemble, and two people can assemble about 3 to 4 units a day. Assembly workers will account for approximately % of the workforce.

Taking a factory with 3000 people as an example, that means 2000 assembly workers can assemble about 6 arcade machines in a day. That’s about a month.

According to Luo Nianzhong's calculation, this amount should be almost enough in the early stage. However, as the number of games increases, it is still necessary to reserve reserve workers.

After going around in a circle, Luo Nianzhong made some suggestions.

"Open a canteen and take care of one meal every day. If you work overtime, take care of all three meals. You should have meat for lunch and dinner. Don't care about the small money. Only when employees are well treated can they work better.

Another floor is selected to be divided into dormitories. Those who work overtime too late and are far away from home can live in the factory.

During the holidays, some rewards should be given out, such as rice, flour, grains and oils, shopping coupons, etc. It should be done with some sincerity."

After hearing this, Uncle Fu hesitated, "Will the labor cost be too high? You know, our wages can be said to be the highest on Hong Kong Island."

As far as Hong Kong is concerned now, the treatment given by Luo Nianzhong is indeed like a scorpion's shit. If Luo Nianzhong is not kind, what kind of kindness do capitalists have?

The profits from the arcade were really too great to allow Luo Nianzhong to mess around like this, and the added cost would not be too much.

How profitable is an arcade machine? According to the scale of an arcade machine with a 14-inch display screen, the monitor is 700, and the processor is Intel's 8080 from a few years ago, which is about 600 Hong Kong dollars. The remaining miscellaneous items will not exceed 1000 Hong Kong dollars, and the bulk of it is the circuit board.

Just like this, an arcade machine with a raw material price of around HK$2200 can be sold for HK$15000. This fully demonstrates what huge profits are and content is king.

This thing is produced in a beautiful country. With high labor and high taxes, the profit can be half, let alone Hong Kong Island. These multiple profits are the basis for Luo Nianzhong's high welfare.

Another point is that the investment in game development is not small, and no one knows what the response will be to the listing. High profits are definitely accompanied by high risks, but Luo Nianzhong can refuse this risk.

Of course, Luo Nianzhong is not a holy mother. If I am well treated, I will work hard for me. If I am clever and disobeys discipline, there is no tolerance here in Luo Nianzhong.

Top floor, R&D room. This was set up by Luo Nianzhong for scientific researchers and occupies an entire floor.

This is just starting now. Luo Nianzhong feels that it is better for industry and research to be together, which is conducive to communication on various issues.

After this place gradually grows into a large scale and all systems are improved, Luo Nianzhong will make this R&D room independent.

He is not satisfied with just developing arcade games. In the future, this scientific research institution will become the software core of Luo Nianzhong Electronics and semiconductors, but it is still very weak now.

There are only a few R&D personnel in the R&D room now, and they are basically people who have returned to Hong Kong after studying abroad.

There are currently no schools in this area on Hong Kong Island, which is why Luo Nianzhong asked the headhunters to go to Japan to recruit people.

The three arcade machines in the open space are the masterpieces of these developers in the past two days. The games are programs written by Luo Nianzhong, and they only modified some bugs.

"Try it". Luo Nianzhong did not get started, but let Liang Jiadong experience it.

Liang Jiadong was not polite. Although he didn't know when the new game would be developed by this new factory, he decided to experience it first.

Liang Jiadong just played like this. He was not very proficient at the beginning. As time went by, he became more proficient and got deeper into it.

The people standing in the row behind him said nothing, just watching him play quietly.

"call". For about an hour, Liang Jiadong took a deep breath while watching the gameover on the monitor.

He was startled when he stood up and turned his head. He looked at the people in front of him and felt shy. "I'm sorry, the game is so fun, I can't help myself."

"Hahahaha" Luo Nianzhong laughed. "I should be happy. If you get up after playing for a while, it means that the game itself is not attractive enough, and that will make me feel even more uncomfortable."

"Aren't you going to try the other two?"

"No, I don't know how the other two games are, but with this game called Little Bee, our company has the capital to compete with those big companies."

"Don't worry, the other two games are definitely not worse than this one. You can experience it slowly when you have time." Patting Liang Jiadong on the shoulder, Luo Nianzhong asked him to relax.

You must know that the other two games are Xiangjiang Cubes, which is also the name of Tetris. Now that it has become Luo Nianzhong's masterpiece, the name naturally needs to be changed.

The final Pac-Man, not to mention, has been proven by future generations.

After that, Luo Nianzhong took Uncle Fu and the others to his office. It was very simple, but it had everything it needed. Luo Nianzhong also knew that he would rarely come to work in the future, and he didn't care much.

There was no interview, so Liang Jiadong walked around with him and chatted for a few words before the two parties started negotiating the contract. After the contract was signed, Luo Nianzhong officially handed over the company to Liang Jiadong for management.
