The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this is a good year for Wesson Technology. Employees from top to bottom are waiting for year-end dividends. The management is investigating employees' wishes to determine the specific amount of dividends, because some employees do not want dividends and plan to invest in factories affiliated to the industrial group.
Li Zhuang has finally realized his wish to be lazy. In addition to designing ideas and teaching students, the big speaker does all the other work for him. Even the assembly of the main module and key modules is done with the cooperation of ultra-precision manipulators and vision systems. no problem.
"It's right to open a company. Otherwise, how can I get so many high-end goods to use, and I don't have to worry about ordinary forces causing trouble. The idea is correct." Li Zhuang said to himself while holding his son.
"Dad, put me down, I want to walk." Shuangwei was very dissatisfied with Li Zhuang always holding him.
Lizhuang¡¯s breed is indeed excellent, and Lisa is also a smart person. Sunwei can speak fluently at eight months and walk freely at ten months. Speaking is just that. Starting to walk so early may have something to do with Lisa's physique. A mother's physique has a great influence on her children.
The year-end summary meeting was held the week before last, and the official holiday will not be until New Year's Eve. This is the habit of Wesson Technology. Except for a few employees who need to visit relatives, most employees don't care. Besides, the company has a lot of research tasks and does not want to go early. Rest, internal competition is fierce now.
When Li Zhuang entered the venue, the management was already in the front row. Zhou Qisen presided over the meeting, and Da Mian and the core managers of the Australian headquarters came to participate.
Wesson Technology¡¯s management system is different from that of the outside world. There is no such nonsense as ¡°employees are not allowed to discuss salary among themselves¡±. Flatness and transparency are the main features of internal salary management. It is better not to follow the law than to be unable to do so, so fully consider the cultivation of human nature and internal atmosphere in advance. Once employees are found to be keen on infighting, they will be fired directly in accordance with company regulations.
Commercial enterprises cannot collect protection fees and must support themselves. Those who cause damage to the operating system are black sheep and cannot be tolerated.
In just three years, Wesson Technology has established a strict organizational system. Although the number of employees has been increasing, the management is still very smooth. Zhang Kai still has time to seize his spare time and go to H University to study for a doctorate in management. He has very rich experience in administrative personnel. Before coming to Weisen Technology, he was the administrative director of a large listed company, and now he is a senior executive of a famous company. The graduation requirement was originally three to four years, but it only took him two years to make the school leaders feel that this was not going to work and that the tutor would be humiliated, so they asked him not to come to the school again and wait until graduation time to issue him a certificate directly. Although Li Zhuang was satisfied with his ability and didn't care about his degree, Zhang Kai cared about it. In Wesson Technology, where there are many Ph.D.s, his master's degree put some pressure on him.
Zhang Kai went to school to focus on psychology and studied management just to get a degree. Based on his own experience and the psychological knowledge he learned, he fully drew on the management of large companies and created a hierarchy suitable for the future super-scale company system. However, in Li Zhuang's view, his ambition is not small. He wants to turn the company into a country, China. This system is simply a small template country.
It is mainly divided into two vertical systems, safety level and position level.
Safety levels are divided into ten levels. Level one is the lowest and level ten is the highest. Each level is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.
Position levels are divided into ten and thirty grades, with the highest being special grade and the lowest being ninth grade.
Boss Da Mian, a capitalist at the headquarter United Technologies Corporation, and Comrade Li Zhuang, representative of Wesson Technology, are special class winners.
The president of United Technologies Corporation is a first-class or third-class employee, the vice president is a first-class or second-class employee, and the general manager of the super estate is a first-class or second-class employee, which is equivalent to the vice president. The presidents of each group company under the headquarters are ranked first, and the vice presidents and department heads make fine adjustments based on their importance to the headquarters. Zhang Kai understood Li Zhuang's thoughts and didn't even mention those popular CEOs, CTOs and the like.
The research department is its own system, separated from security, production, personnel, administration, legal affairs, business, marketing, public relations, finance and other departments, and is graded according to its importance to the headquarters.
Wesson Technology¡¯s current management system has been changed based on the company¡¯s development and has been approved by the boss of the headquarters.
President, Zhou Qisen, is also in charge of cutting-edge research.
Executive Vice President, He Xiuwen, is also in charge of applied research.
Executive Vice President, Zhang Kai. Comrade Dr. Wu has been transferred to the person in charge of the super estate, with the same level as a vice president.
Vice President, Tian Xinmin, he mainly replaces Dr. Wu¡¯s role and is also responsible for technology licensing business. Dr. Tian graduated from MIT with a Ph.D. in Physics and an MBA. He was the former vice president of D Big Technology Group. He has rich experience in coordinating the relationship between scientific research institutes and production companies.
Vice President, Huang Chaoqun, the former business director of GE Greater China, has a PhD in marketing from Harvard Business School. When he was a master's student, his major was applied mathematics, and he is also a strange person.
The company¡¯s existing non-laboratory departments are as follows:
Security Department, Director Han Desheng.
General Affairs Department, Director Chen Chunxiao, Master of Management from National Taiwan University,
Personnel Department, Director Ouyang Tan, Ph.D. in Psychology, former employer was Wal-Mart.
Legal Department, Director Zhang Mingde has joined the company for less than a year, but his performance is outstanding.
Business Department, Director Xia Yuande, Deputy Director Wang Zhijie. Li Zhuang mentioned it to Director Yang, but in the end it was Ade himself who took the initiative to come over, who received his master's degree in July last year. After the business office was upgraded, in accordance with the company's rules, he and Wang Zhijie worked hard for half a year before finally deciding the winner. As for whether he was really stronger or whether Xia Yuande could do it by using the finger-guessing winning method that he was good at, Li Zhuang didn't know very well. He only knew that they were as good as wearing the same pants now. The division of labor between the two is that Xia Yuande is in charge of the power field and Wang Zhijie is in charge of the energy field. Major matters are discussed together. It doesn't really matter who is the director.
Their knowledge reserves are still under pressure from the company¡¯s business system and are being recharged.
Marketing Department, Director Deng Ming, Master, former Director of Shanghai Mass Marketing Department.
Public Relations Department, director Wang Wenming, former deputy director of a certain bureau of the provincial department, comes from the Li Hui family. It is rare that he came up with it this time.
The Procurement Department has become the de facto joint procurement center, Director Zhou Zhi.
Finance Department, Director Wang Mei. She is very capable at work and is an old classmate of Li Zhuang. The finance department is a key department and has always been designated by Li Zhuang without Zhou Qisen's intervention.
Industrial Group, Vice President Huang Chaoqun and President of the Industrial Group.
These people are now sitting in the front row, and Li Zhuang is sitting on the edge with Da Mian. This is his habit. He doesn't like to sit in the middle and show off.
"Daniel, we are developing very fast. There are a lot of researchers in Australia now. Our entire system has nearly 10,000 researchers, which is no less than Bell Labs." Da Mian stopped and then whispered in his ear: "How about we set up a separate investment department. The money you transferred there is a lot of money, which is difficult to deal with. Andrew is currently in charge of this matter."
"Okay, let's strengthen the Australian headquarters. We can't be too light-headed. This will be more troublesome. I estimate that there will be a lot of problems here in the new year. We are already famous, and the number of people watching will increase. You have to be careful." Li Zhuang was a little worried.
"Now I know why you started the super estate project, and I hope it will succeed."
"Haha, don't underestimate the power of my little biotechnology laboratory, you will understand it soon."
Zhou Qisen came to the stage to speak, and the two of them stopped discussing it. Respect was still necessary. The speech lasted for half an hour, and Li Zhuang didn't listen much. He was concentrating on his own research because he had read all the basic information.
Over there in the desert greening, the biotechnology laboratory became profitable for the first time. Their plan costs a lot of money, but many wealthy countries, such as the Middle East, don't care. Guobao sold a nutrient solution formula that had been developed for three or four years but had little promise to Middle Eastern countries. Even so, it was enough to surprise those countries.
The transaction price reached two billion U.S. dollars. It was traded through an offshore company and a confidentiality agreement was signed. Of course, relevant ecological balance and species protection research must also be done for them. Without the help of the biological experiment expert system, this would probably take ten years. From this perspective, Guobao's products and services are worth the price, and they don't think this is a lion's mouth. For this reason, the Wesson Desert Management and Development Company recruited some peripheral researchers to form a Middle East project team. They stayed there for a long time and gradually implemented research and desert transformation according to the laboratory's plan.
In terms of solar cells, although 30% photoelectric conversion auto-focusing solar cells are a bit expensive, they have still received a lot of orders, enough to produce them until next year. Wealthy people in K City have begun to install this kind of facilities on the roofs of their buildings. Used with high-performance chemical energy storage batteries and supercapacitors, it is enough to reduce electricity bills to zero.
There are not many people in the Nanotechnology Laboratory. Although the development of nanomaterials is not progressing quickly, the research on nanomaterials has made great progress. The external orders are about 200 million yuan, which is enough to support themselves.
The Basic Physics Laboratory is not a money-making unit, but Li Zhuang has a lot of private orders and dividends from other departments. It is temporarily unable to achieve profitability because it is a strategic department of the company. The researchers¡¯ position salaries and internal dividends are not the same as the company¡¯s. The full employee distribution system still allows them to maintain superior income.
The New Energy Laboratory is very fat now, and He Xiuwen is feeling proud all day long.Not to mention the US$1.9 billion in licensing revenue last year, Liuqi Power Battery Company has already shipped batches of batteries, and this year¡¯s annual sales revenue is estimated to reach 20 billion. According to the agreement, the New Energy Laboratory will withdraw 4% as research expenses; the New Energy Laboratory for mild hybrid and pure electric vehicle technology solutions also has an income of nearly 300 million.
High-capacity lithium polymer batteries for communication equipment and notebooks are produced by Liu Ge¡¯s independent factory. The response to the early market launch was good, not inferior to well-known brands.
The new materials laboratory¡¯s main research directions are alloy materials and magnetic materials. At present, they can only break even and cannot make a lot of money, but this is very important, and Li Zhuang does not expect them to make money in the short term.
The medical laboratory has been very prosperous under the leadership of Han Shumei, but there are too many girls, accounting for 60%. This puts a lot of pressure on the male researchers, "If you win without force, you will feel guilty if you lose."
Intelligent production laboratory, the main income comes from Wesson Automation and Yongyi Software affiliated to this laboratory. The income is quite good now, with a net profit of nearly 1 billion this fiscal year, and there are 400 researchers in the laboratory. Not enough compared to the top, but more than enough than the bottom.
The Precision Machining Laboratory is currently either following the Intelligent Production Laboratory or following the Power Technology Laboratory, which has now become a big one. There are nearly 300 researchers, but there are not many people because the domestic level in this area is not high. Tang Chenggong, director of the laboratory, is already considered a rare master. There are only a dozen researchers who can compete with him.
The Power Technology Laboratory is now a big one, with 950 researchers, mainly composed of four project teams: motors, gasoline engines, diesel engines, and transmission systems, and others are co-heads. The United Technologies Corporation headquarters has established a research and development system focusing on gas turbines and steam turbines. It is also called the Power Technology Laboratory. It is called the Second Power Technology Laboratory within the group.
Da Mian wants to study aerospace engines and rocket engines, but cannot find suitable talents for the time being. Li Zhuang had known this for a long time and had never expected it.
This laboratory has just broken even. Because it has sold several sets of technical solutions, the income of its employees cannot be compared with other laboratories for the time being. The laboratory's main income comes from undertaking research orders, especially from ordinary automobile companies and power companies, inheriting the usual style of Wesson Technology.
The smallest of the eight laboratories is the Biotechnology Laboratory, with about 90 researchers, and the second smallest is the Nanotechnology Laboratory, with less than 130 researchers. The largest is the New Energy Laboratory, with about 1,200 researchers, and the second largest is the Power Technology Laboratory.
"He Xiuwen, what are you proud of? You have the most people. In terms of efficiency, you may not have as many biotechnology laboratories. Besides, you are the vice president now. Boss, don't keep staring at your new energy laboratory." Zhou Qisen finished. , seeing He Xiuwen's face in the audience, he was furious.
?????????? There are indeed no rules within Wesson Technology, and even the annual meeting is noisy. Supervisors rarely hide things from each other and say anything they say in person. This is incompatible with the outside environment.
"Zhou Qisen, I'm proud that the applied research I'm in charge of is very profitable. The company is now entirely supported by applied research. Don't be dissatisfied. By the way, you are the president, and you are responsible for all this. I'm depressed." He Xiuwen was like a defeated rooster, dejected.
Li Zhuang laughed dumbly. He Xiuwen rarely did this. It seemed that the company was going too smoothly recently and this guy was a little dizzy. The two of them stopped talking, and the researchers who were close enough to hear them began to discuss what was cutting-edge research and what was applied research.
"Do you think the intelligent production laboratory is applied research or cutting-edge research?" Ren Mingmei asked Tang Chenggong.
"Well, it's a bit difficult to distinguish. It should be considered applied, but that's not right. The things they research can be considered cutting-edge, and belong to the intersection of IT, machinery, and electrical and electronics. For example, I can't even make the robots they are working on now. What does understanding robots have to do with smart production, and selling them like sheep¡¯s heads instead of dogs¡¯ meat?¡±
Tang Chenggong rubbed his face vigorously with his hands. This was his habitual action. He didn't know what it meant. Li Zhuang was sitting near them and was very depressed when he heard this.
The smart production laboratory now has three project teams: automation, computers, and robots. The smart home project team is attached to this laboratory. All research on automation is classified into the automation project team. After Yongyi Software came over, it established a computer project. Group. The robotics project team was established at the beginning of last year and recruited many universities and research institutes.
Robot research is indeed very cutting-edge, involving many fields and involving nearly a hundred people. It is difficult to say whether the smart home project team is cutting-edge or applied. The gadgets studied by this project team are very technical and there are many people. The researchers are in their early fifties.
Now is not the time to establish an advanced research institute, so it can only be called an intelligent production laboratory. Of course, Li Zhuang's laziness is the main reason. He doesn't want to divide it too finely.Many researchers have multiple specialties.
While Li Zhuang was thinking about it, Wang Mei started to speak. The numbers she reported made the venue burst into joy. Within ten minutes, the report was over.
"With regard to dividends and shareholding, you should write a report yourself and send it to the finance department's mailbox. If you are dissatisfied with the company's dividend plan, you can raise it. We respect individual wishes."
There is nothing to say about the efficiency of the company's ERP system. In fact, the year-end meeting is just a formality. Even the employees in the company cafeteria usually have separate computer rooms. The General Affairs Department's tentacles extend to every corner of the company, and Chen Chunxiao's actual energy is very close to the name of the General Affairs Department.
Among the group of people who came from Taiwan, compared to the unruly researchers, this dark, medium-sized woman with a slight accent is very popular with everyone in the company. She is indeed a rare administrative master who manages the internal affairs of Wesson Technology, which has a total number of nearly 5,000 people, in an orderly manner and with ease. Compared to when Bao Xi was the boss, he was more than one level stronger.
"Sister Chen, are you going back to Taiwan during the Chinese New Year?" Li Zhuang turned to ask Chen Chunxiao.
¡°It¡¯s inconvenient to go back and forth during the Chinese New Year, so I won¡¯t go back this year. Besides, my whole family is here, and I will go back to visit relatives at most.¡±
The company¡¯s researchers now like to celebrate the New Year in the park. Li Zhuang doesn¡¯t know the specific reason, but it probably has something to do with the convenient living facilities here. The space for expansion in the park is already very limited, so we can only build taller buildings as much as possible. No matter how big it is, security problems are likely to arise.
The management has its own management to handle the relevant matters. Li Zhuang is basically doing research now and rarely gets involved in specific matters unless he has to sign something.
IBM¡¯s hasty appearance this time means that the new year will be unstable again. It is difficult to say whether countries that have just recovered from the economic crisis can withstand a new round of automation storm. ;
