Rebirth 1990: I have three golden fingers

Fang Bai spent an hour and finally made a rough plan.

The first step, of course, is to establish Xinghai Technology Co., Ltd., and write as much business scope as you can.

Registered capital of 100 million yuan, leasing a factory.

The second step is to recruit relevant talents.

There are very few people who know computers and CDs these days, so you have to spend money. The monthly salary offered may be outrageous for this era.

But for Fang Bai, as long as he can meet the deadline, spending a little more money is nothing.

Even in later generations, the salaries of these talents are much higher than those in other industries.

Fortunately, his requirements for computer talents are not high, as long as he can assemble it. He plans to grab business from Lian Xiang and sell as much as he can. He is not looking to make big money for the time being.

Not many families and units in China can afford computers. Even in the past two years, only 100,000 units were sold. Even if the gross profit of a computer is 5,000 yuan, it is only 500 million yuan.

Computers only started to explode after 1997. Fang Bai could use the money he earned from VCDs and DVDs in the past few years to incubate computer accessories.

In recent years, you still have to use VCDs and DVDs to make quick money. It is impossible to make quick money with computers. Foreign computers are better than him and there is no way to export them. However, VCDs and DVDs are very easy to export.

The third step is to purchase VCD and computer related configurations for trial assembly and optimization.

Next comes trial production, publicity and production.

The three steps can be performed simultaneously, but there is a priority.

He planned to use his morning time to manage the machinery company, his afternoon time to engage in VCD business, and his spare time to assemble computers.

After sorting out his ideas, Fang Bai went to register the company the next day.

Before leaving, he went to the city hall to find the city leader Lu Chaomin.

The last time the city leaders visited the machinery company, Fang Bai gave him a favorable impression. Currently, the favorable degree was still at the "trust" level, and he was able to make an appointment with him at any time.

Of course, the statute of limitations is only one month, so you have to visit every once in a while.

In the morning, Fang Bai called the other party. There was nothing urgent and they could meet and chat.

"Mr. Fang, are you planning to set up a new company with a registered capital of 100 million yuan?" Lu Chaomin was a little surprised by Fang Bai's efforts. This machinery company had just started to develop and was planning to do other things.

"Yes, I'm pressed for time, so I went to the leader for help." Fang Bai said seriously. He didn't want to register a company and just wait a week or two.

"Oh, tell me, what are your needs?" Lu Chaomin smiled. It was rare for Fang Bai to come to him in person.

"I don't have any needs. I just want to register a company and stop by to visit the leader."

"I thought it was something. It's not a problem. It's not too late for the Shencheng government to welcome you to invest. Thank you for sending me a big gift." Lu Chaomin clapped his thigh and laughed. He could tell that Fang Bai was involved. Urgent, he called the secretary and arranged for him to accompany Fang Bai to register the company.

The procedures are fast when accompanied by the leader's secretary, and special matters are handled specially. After arriving at the industrial and commercial office, the director of the industrial and commercial office personally accompanied the process and said that when it was completed, he would personally deliver it to the door.

At noon, Fang Bai returned to the machinery company for dinner.

After going to work in the afternoon, he went to the HR manager Lai Xia to arrange work: "Sister Lai, I established a Xinghai Technology Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of 100 million yuan, specializing in the research and development of computers and CD machines. Time is a bit urgent. Please help me recruit personnel first. Department staff, set up a company structure, the main staff are..."

Forty-year-old Lai Xia was a little surprised when she saw her boss hurriedly looking for her and heard that a big company had been established.

But she quickly sorted out her emotions. After all, there are many companies in the group. This is the chairman's decision. It's hard to say anything. She took a pen and notebook to record the key points he said, and suggested: "Boss, if you are in a hurry, you can log in If you sign up for recruitment, I will arrange for people to rent a venue in the talent market to distribute information."

"Yes, there is a lot of demand, and the requirements are high. You can publish newspapers in big cities in the Yangtze River Delta region such as Suzhou City and Shanghai City. You must show the atmosphere of our group and don't have a small page. That is too stingy." Fang Bai explained, making it clear the personnel he needed and the specific requirements.

In particular, it is necessary to recruit the general manager and vice president of Xinghai Machinery Company and Xinghai Technology Company, and have in-depth discussions with Lai Xia.

"I have a lot of things to do now. The machinery company and the new company each need a general manager to help me manage the company, and a vice president to assist me.

The two companies have developed towards internationalization. They require senior managers to have experience in international trade and middle- and senior-level management of the company, be proficient in English, be familiar with cutting-edge technology, and be no more than 45 years old. Returnees are also welcome. As long as the ability is met, there is no salary limit. Benchmark with top foreign companies. "Fang Bai said.

With the scale of Xinghai Machinery Company, in twenty or thirty years, the annual salary of a general manager who can comprehensively manage the company and lead its development will be more than one million yuan, and can even reach the exaggerated level of five million yuan. If he leads The company is developing well, and there are certain company dividends, and the comprehensive income is unimaginable.

Ordinary people earn a monthly salary of several thousand yuan. It is difficult to understand why the top executives of these companies can earn so much salary. It feels like they just sit in the office smoking and drinking tea without doing anything.

In fact, on high-end recruitment websites, there are many positions with an annual salary of more than one million.

Companies that recruit with high salaries have assets of more than 2 billion yuan. If the boss is willing to spend this money to recruit, he must have done some careful calculation.

Therefore, when Fang Bai plans to recruit high-end talents, he is also mentally prepared to pay a high price for them.

In the past, the company was small and not well-known, and Fang Bai himself was too busy, so he never hired professional managers, and he couldn't find any that satisfied him.

Now that the company has grown in size and the group has become somewhat famous, he himself is too busy, so it is time to recruit professional managers. The company's profits are good and he is not short of money.

As long as it meets his requirements, he can fully implement his strategic goals and manage the company well, Fang Bai really doesn't care about money. He will definitely get a car, and his annual salary will be more than 100,000 yuan.

An annual salary of one hundred thousand yuan is unimaginable to ordinary people, just like an annual salary of more than one million yuan twenty or thirty years later.

If he does well, Fang Bai will also give a certain percentage of the company's dividends, and the dividends will be much higher than his salary.

"Chairman, it is indeed difficult for ordinary professional managers to meet our company's requirements, but if you follow your requirements, the salary may be a bit outrageous compared to peers.

I heard that the monthly salary of typists in foreign companies is 700 to 800 yuan, or even 1,000 yuan, which is indeed a bit high compared to other positions. "Lai Xia used to work for a foreign company, but she happened to resign and was poached by Xinghai Company with a high salary.

Now the salary of Xinghai Group is much higher than that of its peers. Including overtime pay, the salary is higher than that of most foreign companies.

In this era when the average monthly salary is only one or two hundred yuan, the salary in Shencheng is generally a little higher but not much higher. The average monthly salary in their company can reach about 500 yuan, and the benefits are very good.

Of course, all positions have high requirements. For example, they require skilled workers with high technical skills in the industry. They must be in good health and have at least a junior high school education. Otherwise, they will not be able to understand drawings and processes, and it will be difficult to train them.

“If it’s just a typist, I don’t think it’s worth the price. Our company is equipped with computers, and it’s easy to meet the requirements after a few months of training.

Typists are not as powerful as you think. Of course, if you are a professional typist who can type one or two hundred words per minute, can type professionally, and has the same work efficiency as several employees, then it is indeed worth the money. I still pay this amount. Will figure it out.

It’s hard to recruit real computer talents. Our company can afford them with a monthly salary of two to three thousand or even over ten thousand. "Fang Bai said seriously. If you want to be at the forefront of the industry, your salary level must be one of the best in the industry. If other companies want to poach people, they can't.

Xinghai Group does not restrict employees from revealing their salaries, and Fangbai itself does not prohibit employees from discussing salary. If you have the ability, compete. Don't be jealous of your colleagues who have higher salaries than you. There are many vacant positions in the group.

If it is an ordinary company, it is expressly stipulated that employees are not allowed to openly discuss their salary. After all, people will be jealous, especially among colleagues. The boss is afraid that employees will not be motivated to work if they are psychologically unbalanced.

With Xinghai Group’s recruitment method published in newspapers, employees can also guess the approximate salary of their colleagues.

After Lai Xia understood the chairman's requirements, she formulated a recruitment plan.

After Fang Bai explained the recruitment matters, he arranged for Wang Dakai and Li Xiaolong to find a factory. It would be a temporary transition. They would have to move out early next year when the company's new factory can be put into use.

Next, he will study CD-related technical information and look for the latest information in the Jiaotong University library and bookstore.

After two days of fumbling around, I probably figured out something.

Technically speaking, the core technology of VCD machines mainly has two aspects: one is MPEG-1 video decoding technology;

The other is CD drive and data reading.

The existing mature technology of CD (laser disc) can also be used to produce VCD discs. The only difference is that the data stored in them is different.

With the digital audio CD technology that has been developed for more than ten years, it is only necessary to change the audio PCM data into video compression encoded data, so that the code stream after CD reading is converted into a video data stream through real-time video decoding, and then converted into the current All TV analog signals that can be recognized by the TV can be played back on the TV.

In 1980, CD products from many companies were already on the market, and related core components (such as discs and movements) had also been developed. At present, the technology is basically mature.

Although CD design standards can be read by computer equipment, personal computers have just been launched and are far from popular. The main application area of ​​CD is to listen to music, that is, as a laser digital turntable.

The digital audio Digital Audio recorded uses uncompressed 16-bit PCM encoding, and a standard 120mm diameter disc can store approximately 70 minutes of two-channel (stereo) music.

Since sound signals can be digitized and recorded on optical discs, people naturally wonder if video signals can also be used?

This is also the origin of VCD!

When the first standard MPEG-1 was officially approved at the end of 1992, it did not receive much attention. Of course, this was also related to its low design standards.

The resolution of 352×240 was only equivalent to the level of home video recorders VCR at that time, and the resolution was only one-quarter of the resolution of NTSC’s 720×480 and PAL’s 720×576 TV sets that were commonly used at the time.

To put it simply, the picture played back is very unclear, but it is enough to watch.

To make the picture clearer, you can only increase the resolution, and that is what happened to DVD later.

Simply put, the difference between VCD and DVD is:

1) Different technical standards: MPEG-1 for the former and MPEG-2 for the latter;

2) Different resolutions: the former has a resolution of about 250 lines, which is at the level of a video recorder; the latter has a resolution of 500 lines, which is the same as a TV;

3) The storage is different: the former is six to seven hundred MB, and the latter is four or five GB. The quality of the videos stored is of course much higher, and several videos can be stored.

4) The audio is also different.

Fangbai will start developing VCDs now, and then launch DVDs after there are many competitors.

DVD technology is a little more difficult than VCD and not so easy to imitate.

Fang Bai still has some impressions that the Video CD launched by Wan Yan was quickly imitated once it was launched.

Especially in Guangdong, a large number of family-style factories have appeared. They connect the CD movement and the decoder board, and use screws to fix them to the casing to form a complete machine. It is much simpler than assembling a computer.

VCD movements and decoding boards are sold in the market just like computer assembly parts. The production of VCD parts and assembly continues to attract people from various industries to join because of the huge profits.

In this mixed market environment, some companies began to pay attention to their brands and attracted attention by placing large amounts of advertising. Aido, Xinke, Amoi, Malida, Jinzheng, Xianke, Xiaobawang, Bubugao, etc. appeared successively and quickly occupied the market. market.

Young people of this era are deeply impressed by VCDs. Fang Bai also bought Wan Yan's video recorder. He bought it earlier and spent more than 1,000 yuan and got two CDs as a gift.

After VCDs became popular, optical discs also became popular. There are many bosses in Wencheng who specialize in copying optical discs and selling them. The disc piracy scene is very rampant. The picture quality is worse than the original version, but the price is only one-tenth of the original version.

Pirated discs only cost 2 yuan a disc. Generally, a movie requires two discs to be burned. Some short films can be burned on just one disc, while genuine discs cost 20 to 30 yuan. The picture quality is only slightly better, but not at all. Not many people are willing to buy genuine CDs.

Of course, many unscrupulous bosses sell CDs that are unreadable at all, or the pictures become dull after watching them a few times.

In the village, many families bought VCD machines and charged a fee to watch them. They charged a few cents to watch a movie. If they had no money, they collected rice.

It was also at that time that films with color became popular.

Fang Bai still remembers that there was a villager in the village who liked to play colorful films. Children ranging from children to 60 or 70-year-olds crowded into a room to watch them, and there were women in them. This kind of scene, haha, is unimaginable.

This is not something that only happens in his hometown. There are many such phenomena across the country. Children born after 1995 may not understand it well.

Fang Bai knew that he could not stop pirated CDs, and the popularity of pirated CDs actually boosted the sales of VCD machines.

He also couldn't stop small workshops from imitating VCD machines, so after they were developed, he had to stock up on products in large quantities and then promote and sell them.

Not only for domestic sales, but also for simultaneous promotion and sales to surrounding countries.

Using cheats, you can optimize the VCD to make the picture smoother and clearer, and as long as the disc is not seriously corrupted, it can still be played normally. Two days later, Xinghai Group's recruitment advertisement was published in newspapers in major cities in the Yangtze River Delta such as Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Jinling. The content occupied one or two pages. The high-paying recruitment quickly shocked readers and attracted media reports. More and more people are aware of it.

Judging from the recruitment content alone, Xinghai Group needs thousands of people, and the salary offered is much higher than that of its peers. However, the requirements are also demanding, and the academic requirements alone deter many job seekers.

In particular, the annual salary of engineers who are in urgent need of positions can reach 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. In other words, as long as they can join the job and work for a few months, they can earn a salary of 10,000 yuan.

Even for ordinary engineers, the minimum annual salary is 7,000 yuan.

As for the position of general manager, with an annual salary of more than 100,000 yuan, a car, and the possibility of negotiating dividends, this is a dream position for countless people.

Xinghai Group is already well-known around Shanghai. When readers saw the report, they were a little skeptical. However, considering the size of the company, they can indeed afford this salary. They just lamented that the salary was too much, and many employees were moved.

Compared with the salary of the Iron Rice Bowl and Xinghai Group, if you work for one year, it may not be as good as someone who works for one month.

As for a house, once your salary is paid and you save money, you can buy it. There is no need to wait for the lottery at work.

Wu Jun is a sheet metal engineer for a large state-owned enterprise in Sioux City. He has been working for seven or eight years. After working hard for a year, his comprehensive income is less than 3,000 yuan. He has two children at home. Excluding expenses, he cannot save at all. what money.

The house promised by his employer was not his turn at all, and he didn’t know when it would be his turn to draw lots.

I was reading the Sioux City Daily today and found that the third page of the newspaper contained a job advertisement from a company!

"Oh my god, it's so generous. I just bought a space to post recruitment information."

He couldn't help but marvel that many companies published recruitment information in newspapers, which only occupied a small space, and it was the least conspicuous at the end of the page.

He looked carefully and found that it was Xinghai Group, a well-known private enterprise.

Of course, after seeing the recruitment salary and benefits clearly, I took a deep breath, and my heart moved. It felt a bit strange: I was given too much money!

For a position like his, the minimum annual salary is 7,000 yuan, which is more than twice his current annual income, and the maximum is 14,000 yuan, which is even more.

In fact, this is not how the accounts are calculated. His annual income is less than 3,000 yuan, and excluding expenses, he actually saves less than 1,000 yuan a year.

If the annual salary is 7,000 yuan and the expenses are the same, then he can save 5,000 yuan, and the saving speed is five times as fast as he is currently!

He took the newspaper home and planned to discuss it with his wife.

If he is hired and the salary reaches what the newspaper says, he really plans to work.

After dinner, Wu Jun discussed the matter with his wife. After hearing this, his wife felt that the salary was indeed a bit exaggerated.

"I'm a little worried. What if you resign and can't become a regular employee?" His wife expressed concern.

"As long as you can be hired, you have to perform well. What I'm worried about now is not this, but the competition must be very fierce. It's hard to say whether you can be hired. Instead of worrying about getting a full-time job, let's worry about whether you can get in." Wu Jun was a little excited. "Taking a step back, if I hadn't been promoted to a regular employee, it would be easy to find a job with my current work experience."

"That's right, you can try it if you want."

"Well, if you can be hired, let's see if we can go to Shanghai as a family. I'll call and inquire tomorrow. If I meet the requirements, I will prepare my resume and plan to take leave to go to Shanghai for an interview." Wu Jun finished. Decide.

"Okay, I hope hubby you can succeed, then it will be much easier for us. This Xinghai Group is quite famous. I heard that the boss is a college student, which is a bit hard to believe."

"That's what the news says. You can't lie. Xinghai Group is developing too fast. If you can join the company early, you might be able to become a small leader in the future." Wu Jun is very passionate about joining Xinghai Group. This is all due to the difficulty of life.

What he didn't know was that his boss was also moved after seeing the report. Maybe they would bump into each other during the interview.

Just as Wu Jun has too many talented people, since the recruitment information was published in the newspaper, Xinghai Group's human resources department has been receiving constant consultation calls, and two phones have been ringing non-stop.

The two human resources specialists have been sitting by the phone, answering questions from job seekers. They have talked too much, and their throats have become hoarse. Naturally, they are not in a better mood. They can only talk long and short. If the other party cannot understand the content, they can only let the other party read it carefully. Job Offers.

Lai Xia saw that the attitude of her subordinates' replies had deteriorated, and she had to criticize her, saying that this directly affected the company's image. (End of chapter)
