Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Many years ago, Cao Yang once told Nanshan employees that as long as the company's annual operating indicators can meet the standards, the year-end bonus will be one month more than the previous year.

Then the basic salary will increase by 10% compared with the previous year.

From a long-term perspective, this commitment is certainly unsustainable.

But China’s base is too low to cover it.

In 1999, a monthly salary of several hundred dollars was perfectly normal.

Even with the increase now, it is already January 2008, and most people's basic salary is less than 3,000 yuan.

However, the salary level of employees of Nanshan Group is definitely higher than the average level.

For example, when new graduates are recruited this fall, Cao Yang is planning to directly release a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan.

Compared with the United States and Japan, this level definitely has no advantage.

But in China, the salary is definitely high.

The most important thing is that this is only the basic salary. Nanshan Group's annual year-end bonus is not much less than the salary.

"In 2007, the development of all business divisions of the entire group was very good, and everyone made a lot of efforts."

"So in addition to the normal one-month year-end bonus, the group will also issue an additional one-month special bonus."

"Equivalent to this year's year-end bonus, all employees can receive 12 months' salary, which is equivalent to one more year of work."

As soon as Cao Yang said these words, the executives present couldn't help but applaud.

Although for these executives, they have other bonuses.

A month's salary is actually not a scary figure for them.

But everyone has a group of brothers to lead. After this news is announced, the team will definitely be better to lead.

this is very important.

Huaxia’s employees are all very hard-working.

As long as the money is in place, there will be no problem with 007 every week.

Obviously, most employees of Nanshan Group are very satisfied with Nanshan Group's current efforts to distribute money.

Even for employees who have joined the company in recent years, their annual income is generally half higher than that of their classmates.

Everyone’s enthusiasm for participating in class reunions has become much higher.

"Mr. Cao, how about we reform the salary system based on this year's situation?"

While she was happy, Liu Youmei vaguely put forward her own suggestion.

In her view, a base salary increase of 10% per year is unsustainable.

Anyone who understands mathematics knows that when 1.1*1.1 is performed more times, the result will be very amazing.

However, Cao Yang did not accept Liu Youmei's kindness this time.

In his view, as long as the basic salary of ordinary employees does not reach 10,000 yuan, this plan is sustainable.

It would be better to wait until the development speed of Nanshan Group does not meet expectations in a certain year, and then make adjustments.

For a person with a not very strong background like him, enough employees and employees with high enough cohesion are also a kind of resource and a kind of capital.

The wealth he personally needs is actually enough.

Being able to drive a large number of people to become middle class, even if there are competitors who want to deal with him in the future, it will not be so easy.

Of course, other people may not understand these principles.

It was impossible for him to communicate this with anyone.

However, the number of employees of Nanshan Group has officially exceeded 50,000 this year.

Among them, none of the workers are laborers, and all of them have signed formal contracts.

This alone is not comparable to other competitors.

In the era when the personal tax threshold was not very high, the personal income tax contributed by a single company of Nanshan Group exceeded the sum of all other enterprises in the district.

It is not a problem to say that Nanshan Group is a major taxpayer.

"The matter of the salary reform will be discussed in a few years. The HR department can make a good plan first."

Although Cao Yang did not agree with Liu Youmei's suggestion, he did not want to dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates.

After talking about the content that everyone likes to hear, Cao Yang began to issue business goals for 2008 to various companies.

In 2008, the world economy encountered the most serious crisis since the Great Depression in the 1930s.

This crisis originated from the collapse of the housing market in the United States, and then spread to the global financial market and the real economy, leading to economic contraction, unemployment/surge/increase, and social/society/turmoil on a global scale.

Beginning in August last year, Bear Stearns, the fifth largest investment bank in the United States, announced the collapse of two of its hedge funds.

Subsequently, Bear Stearns, Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase, UBS, etc. successively suffered huge losses.

The signs of crisis are actually already obvious.

However, many people are not fully aware of this.

Of course, even after the crisis broke out, many people did not expect that China could get rid of the impact so quickly.

The automobile industry, in particular, has entered an unprecedented period of rapid development after a short period of impact.

Therefore, Cao Yang naturally had to fully consider these needs.

Don't expect that when customers need parts, you don't have enough production capacity.

It would be a shame if you can’t even make money.

"Next, let me talk about this year's goal setting."

"The first is Xingchen Automobile, which is a career that everyone has high hopes for."

"This year we have achieved a historic breakthrough, which is not easy."

"But we can't be proud."

"Our overall production is still lagging behind Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, and even worse than Porsche."

"In this case, I hope that the sales data for 2008 will at least exceed 200,000 units."

Cao Yang set a high goal for Xingchen Motors as soon as he opened his mouth, which made the bosses of several other business units a little nervous.

Like Ji Hua, he was originally in a very good mood.

The performance of Nanshan gearbox last year was so outstanding, whether it is placed at home or abroad, it is always good.

But on this basis, if you want to double it like Xingchen Automobile, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

No matter how fast a self-owned brand develops, it is impossible to increase sales by more than two million units in 2008, right?

Therefore, the goal of doubling the number is completely unrealistic for Nanshan Gearbox.

Cheng Tao of Nanshan Engine and Dai Hanbiao of Nanshan Auto Parts also have similar feelings.

They believe the company can continue to grow this year, but the growth won't be that high.

Fortunately, Cao Yang's next words made them sigh in relief.

"Except for Xingchen Automobile, the growth targets of all other business divisions are all set at 30%."

"According to the data I have learned, the annual car sales in 2007 exceeded 9 million units, and it is expected to exceed 10 million units in 2008."

"Next year, I think China's car sales are expected to surpass the United States and become the world's number one."

“So each business unit must give full consideration to its production capacity layout.”

"If the production capacity is insufficient, a production expansion plan can be proposed in a timely manner."

"Some bottleneck processes should be improved if they need to be improved. Don't wait."

Cao Yang's request was naturally prepared in advance for 2009.

Otherwise, due to the impact of the financial crisis, the auto market in 2009 would definitely not be able to achieve such a high growth rate of 30%.

Even under the influence of Nanshan Group, the development speed of various domestic independent brands is much faster than the same period in history.

There is no way to completely resist the impact of this historic crisis.

By then, the production expansion plans of many OEMs will be halted.

In particular, the joint venture factories of international automobile giants in China will be even more affected.

These will directly affect the market structure.

As long as Nanshan Group seizes the opportunity to bring various industries to a higher level, there will be no problem at all.

Of course, there is no way to tell everyone these things.

We can only push everyone in this direction by setting a high goal.

"Mr. Cao, according to some information collected by our Finance Department, the development situation in 2008 may not be so optimistic."

"Although various other organizations, including the China Automobile Association, have made relatively bold predictions about the growth of the auto market this year."

"But these predictions may not be met."

"If we invest a lot of money to expand production when the market is not so prosperous, the financial pressure will be much greater by then."

At this time, Dong Shengnan couldn't help but add his own opinion.

Many of her classmates are abroad and have already felt the crisis in advance.

She has even heard some news from Wall Street.

This makes her not so confident about the situation in 2008.

"You are right. The situation this year is indeed not as optimistic as everyone imagined."

"Especially in overseas markets, there are signs of an economic crisis now."

"But our situation in China is a bit different from overseas."

"After several years of rapid development, many potential car consumers have been cultivated."

"Mainly with appropriate policy guidance, Huaxia's car sales will continue to surprise everyone and create records."

"Even if there are some crises overseas, I believe Huaxia will come up with some corresponding rescue policies."

"Besides, expansion and investment cannot be completed in one or two months."

"Each business department can take a good inventory and advance related matters according to the goal of completing the expansion plan within this year and having the expanded production capacity next year."

Cao Yang's attitude will definitely not change because of Dong Shengnan's words.

But he also knew that Dong Shengnan's thoughts should represent the opinions of many people in the group.

So a proper explanation is still necessary.

"Mr. Cao, according to the current plan, the group's various investments in 2008 may exceed 5 billion."

"If the production is to be further expanded, the investment amount will be even higher."

Dong Shengnan still wanted to fight for it, but Cao Yang showed his stubbornness in a rare way, waved his hand, and directly said the following specific arrangements.

"The financial data of our group is relatively healthy, and there is no need to worry about related risks in the next few years."

"And the biggest risk is not seizing the opportunity of rapid development in the past few years."

Seeing Cao Yang's attitude, Dong Shengnan had no choice but to give up.

"After several years of rapid development, our group has already laid out plans in various fields."

“In addition to expanding production capacity, what other directions we need to develop next also need to be carefully considered.”

Seeing that Cao Yang was about to make some specific arrangements, all the participants unanimously picked up their pens and prepared to start recording.

"First of all, let's talk about Xingchen Automobile. This year, although it is advertised as the largest luxury car company in China."

"But the actual situation is clear to everyone. Half of our sales are overseas. In fact, there is still a significant gap between domestic sales and Audi."

"We are the first domestic luxury car company to sell more than 100,000 vehicles."

"I hope this situation can be improved in 2008."

Cao Yang's first fire was on Xingchen Automobile.

Due to the very good development achieved last year, some people inside Xingchen Auto already have some pride.

This situation must definitely be suppressed.

Otherwise, how can we continue to develop rapidly?

"Although the only new model is Xingchen 4, other models will also have some new styles."

"For example, the V8 engine Zangwang and Ziweixing are also long-awaited by many people."

"Another example is the bulletproof version of Yangwang. We are already preparing for the relevant launch work."

"Star Motors has taken the most difficult step from zero to one, and the rest is how to make good use of the solid foundation of the past and continue to develop rapidly..."

Cao Yang spent more than ten minutes explaining the matter of Xingchen Car alone.

Everyone can be considered as fully aware of Cao Yang's attention.

"Then there is the Nanshan gearbox. The popularity of 6AT is now gradually increasing."

"However, for some independent brands, the price of 6AT is still on the high side."

"Some Japanese car companies plan to introduce CVTs. I think CVTs are quite promising in mid- to low-end models."

"So this year, Nanshan Transmission focuses on making breakthroughs in CVT technology."

"We will try to provide matching packages to some customers starting next year."

"As for the 10AT, we will continue to advance research and development as planned. We will make significant progress next year and achieve mass production the year after that."

For the current automobile market, 8AT is already a very high-end existence.

In fact, launching 10AT too early is not a good thing.

At least from the perspective of making money, it’s not a good thing.

So as long as it can catch up with the use of next-generation models, Cao Yang thinks it is enough.

Once the 10AT and CVT are released, the research and development tasks of Nanshan's transmission will basically be completed.

The remaining work is to correct omissions, and the number of R\u0026D personnel required has been greatly reduced.

These people can move to research on three-in-one motors on electric vehicles and develop economical and low-cost reducers.

"As for the Nanshan engine, the focus of this year's work is similar to last year's, and integrate the relevant displacement engines suitable for the hybrid system as soon as possible."

“In the future, most of Xingchen Motors’ models will adopt hybrid systems.”

"This is also a possible development direction in the future."

"As a technology that saves energy, reduces emissions, and improves driving experience..."

Cao Yang arranged the situation of Xingchen Motors, Nanshan gearbox and Nanshan engine in one go.

Various other industries have naturally set various development goals and key projects for them.

For example, Nanshan Equipment will focus more on the equipment needed for semiconductor and battery-related production lines in the next step.

According to Cao Yang's plan, equipment in these fields must be domestically produced in the future.

Otherwise, Nanshan Group will definitely be sanctioned in ten or eight years.

No matter how high you stood before, if you didn't have a sense of crisis, it would be painful if you fell later.

With the convening of this summary meeting, there are other contents that outsiders may not be able to find out.

But there is absolutely no way to hide the news of the year-end bonus.

# Nanshan Group pays year-end bonus of 12 months’ salary #

This news instantly became a hot search on Weibo.

Nanshan Group has once again become someone else's factory.

"Mr. He, if I want to return to Nanshan Mold, is there still a chance?"

Fang Wei was also considered a key employee of Nanshan Mold Center in his early years.

When Xifeng Mo scouted him, Cao Yang and He Qingquan even went to do ideological work with him.

He even thought that he could provide Nanshan with more information like an undercover agent.

Fang Wei had also vowed to agree at the beginning.

I feel that my salary can be doubled and I will have the opportunity to return to Nanshan Mold in the future.

But after I went to Xifeng Die Punching, I enjoyed the position of section chief of the mold center, and was later promoted to the person in charge of the mold center.

He slowly threw away some of his past promises.

I am now a West Wind Die Chong person!

What does Nanshan Mold have to do with me?

After a few years, Fang Wei basically had no intention of returning to Nanshan.

However, in the past two years, Fang Wei found that his salary basically stopped rising.

Originally, the skills of some apprentices gradually improved, and their scarcity was not that great.

So he regretted it a little bit.

Especially today I saw that employees of Nanshan Group were given bonuses of 12 months’ salary.

This further stimulated him.

So he bit the bullet and called He Qingquan.

"Fang Wei, didn't you do a good job at Xifeng Mold?"

"Why do you think of going back to Nanshan Group?"

He Qingquan naturally still had an impression of this former subordinate.

Although the scale of Nanshan Mold is not very large, it is an indispensable part of the development of related industries.

"To tell you the truth, I am now in a confusing period of career development."

"I am not a descendant of the Xifeng Group. If I want to go further in the future, the possibility is very low."

"In addition, Xifeng Group, as a state-owned enterprise, has a relatively fixed salary system, which is not so easy to break."

"I haven't had a raise for three years now."

"Although the development speed of Xifeng Mold in the past few years is not bad, the amount of bonuses is almost the same every year, and there are only two or three months of salary."

"After much deliberation, I think it is more promising to go back to Yangcheng."

Fang Wei knew that in front of He Qingquan, if he said something illusory, it would definitely not achieve his goal.

So he changed into a frank and heart-to-heart look, hoping to get He Qingquan's help.

The various business divisions of Nanshan Group have been recruiting people for the past few years.

In theory, a talent like Fang Wei is also what Nanshan Mold needs.

But Fang Wei also knows that if the normal recruitment is followed, it will be very difficult for the resigned employees to go to Nanshan Group again.

"Overturned water is hard to recover. If it was the few years you just went out, everyone had made promises beforehand, and it would not be difficult for you to come back."

"But the current situation is no longer in my hands."

"After resigning from Nanshan Group, all employees who want to return to the group need to report to Mr. Cao separately from the group's personnel department."

"As far as I know, there are only a handful of people who have successfully returned from outside."

If it was placed in the few years when he first entered the company, He Qingquan might be merciful.

But now he's also been running a company for several years.

Naturally, we know that being kind and soft-hearted is not acceptable.

Nanshan Group has invested a lot of cost in human resources, not to train talents for other companies.

If you want to change jobs, you must consider the risks.

Don’t just look at the salary increase after changing jobs.

"Mr. He, although Xifeng Mold has developed very well in recent years, their technology is still relatively weak in terms of PRG molds."

"Once I leave, there is a high probability that they will not be able to produce PRG molds themselves immediately and will need to expand the scale of purchasing from outside."

"This is also a good thing for Nanshan Mold."

Fang Wei still wanted to struggle.

However, He Qingquan's attitude did not change at all.

People like Fang Wei who used to work for Nanshan Group must be very envious and a little regretful when they see that their old club paid such a high bonus this year.

And for those who chose to give up entering Nanshan Group in order to go to what they thought was a better company, the blow was even greater.

"Lao Liang, did you really pay 12 months' salary as bonus this year?"

On the day he saw the hot search on Weibo, Lin Tiansheng from the Yangcheng Honda Sales Department asked his old friend Liang Hualong out for dinner.

At the beginning, the two of them were among the few people in the class who directly looked for jobs. In fact, they secretly compared the jobs they found.

One went to Nanshan Group and the other went to Yangcheng Honda.

A few years ago, the halo of joint venture car companies was very dazzling, and it is not bad even now.

So at first Lin Tiansheng thought that he should be better at it than Liang Hualong.

But now after seeing the news, his heart is unbalanced!

I only received a bonus of 7 months' salary, and I thought I was already doing well among my classmates.

But now Liang Hualong has a 12-month bonus.

Last year, the gap between everyone was not so obvious.

One is 7 months and the other is 10 months.

Taking into account the difference in basic salary, it is basically the same.

However, Lin Tiansheng's salary growth has slowed down significantly in the past two years, while Liang Hualong has been increasing step by step.

The gap between the two sides slowly widened.

In fact, three or five years after graduation, the gap between classmates will begin to widen.

Ten years after graduation, everyone’s future level differences can basically be determined.

“It’s already been trending on Weibo, so it’s true. Is there anything else to deceive about it?”

Liang Hualong was in a very good mood when he saw Lin Tiansheng's sour expression.

Although our previous relationship was pretty good, no one wanted to be lower than the other.

"Your boss is really generous."

"There are tens of thousands of people in the entire Nanshan Group, right?"

"Bonus bonuses alone are a very large number this year."

Lin Tiansheng's idea should represent the ideas of many people.

However, this has also raised the cohesion of employees of Nanshan Group to a higher level.

In addition to making normal money, working in a company is also very important whether it can bring you a sense of honor and pride.

For example, in a funeral parlor, the salary is very high, but how many people think that it is a very good job?

"To be precise, our group has more than 51,000 people!"

Liang Hualong couldn't help but show a proud expression on his face.

No matter where it is placed, the scale of Nanshan Group is not small.

A proper Fortune 500 company.

"Does your company have internal recruitment activities?"

Lin Tiansheng couldn't help but ask.

He also wants such a high bonus,

The key is that it could be even higher next year.

"Our company's current recruitment policy is adjusting. Except for some positions that are in short supply, most of them directly recruit fresh graduates and train them themselves."

"So if you want to join Nanshan Group, you can directly submit your resume on the official website."

“Internal referrals are not a plus in our company.”

Liang Hualong's words made Lin Tiansheng a little disappointed.

Naturally, he knew that he could submit his resume on the official website.

But he……

I didn’t pass the resume screening.

He himself was a little confused as to why such an outstanding talent was eliminated by Xingchen Auto during the resume screening stage!

There is no justice anymore!

Of course, he would definitely not say this to Liang Hualong.

Although the meeting between the two people could not be said to have ended on bad terms, it obviously did not achieve Lin Tiansheng's purpose.

Fortunately, in the end, he used the reason that the other party gave out so many bonuses to get Liang Hualong to buy it.

This made Lin Tiansheng feel a little more balanced.

The impact of Nanshan Group's hot search this time is obviously not something that can be explained by a few simple cases like Fang Wei and Lin Tiansheng.

Liu Youmei, who is the director of the Human Resources Department of Nanshan Group, has the most obvious feeling these days.

She even encountered some problems and didn't know how to solve them.

In the end, she decided to go find Cao Yang! .

"Mr. Cao, several people have been greeting me in the past few days and want to recruit people into our company. How do you think it would be better to handle this kind of thing?"
