Chapter 420 Disadvantages Turned into Advantages

In September, Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. entered a new stage.

The company has sufficient projects on hand, and all employees from top to bottom are fully committed to their work. After three months of trial, overtime has become the norm. Those who can accept overtime and those who cannot have already adapted to it. In addition to working overtime for two hours at the company after get off work, project team members with heavy tasks also have to work overtime when they return home at night. Overtime is commonplace in the IT industry.

Going home to work overtime was not Zhou Jing's request, but a need and arrangement within the team. Working overtime was required in order to complete the project ahead of schedule and get a bonus.

After returning to work on September 1st, Zhou Jing summarized the company's work pattern since June.

The working model of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. is project task system. Each team is assigned a separate task, and the task cycle is determined according to the project workload and difficulty. If the task can be completed within the deadline, the team can receive 5% of the net profit of the completed project as a bonus. This model has been very effective so far.

While improving work efficiency, employees are also satisfied.

In order to be fair, each group will draw lots to decide which project to work on. Since different projects have different levels of difficulty and profit, the bonuses they can get will naturally be different, so it's up to their luck.

After Zhou Jing carefully reviewed the net profits of each month in the past three months, as well as the changes in the company's surplus profits and the income of programmers, he decided to continue with this model and increase the bonus for the team from 5% of the net profit to 6%.

Although the bonus seems to have only increased by one percent, it is actually very considerable. The group bonus can easily increase by more than 10,000 yuan each month, and the average bonus per group member can be as low as several hundred or even a thousand yuan.

Bonuses for administrative and other positions are included in monthly performance, and performance increases or decreases with the company's performance.

Under this model, employees' income is deeply tied to the company's performance. As long as they are not there to mess up, their work attitude will be very positive.

However, as the company grows larger, it is inevitable that there will be some people who like to be lazy and want to do less and get more.

Such people are generally unwelcome in the team, because their presence will slow down the work progress of the entire group, thus affecting other people in the group from making money. To address this phenomenon, the best solution for the company is to implement a last-in-first-out system.

Of course, the last-in-first-out system does not mean directly firing those who fail the assessment. It will give employees more opportunities. It cannot be decided based on one month or one project, but based on multiple projects. If an employee is judged to be a long-term slacker, his/her performance and bonus will be reduced, or he/she will be transferred. Firing will only be considered if he/she is really hopeless. In short, the company does not want to keep slackers.

Zhou Jing decided on the employee assessment and handling methods and sent them to Tang Yuan, asking him to complete a specific report.

【receive】

After seeing the message from his boss, Tang Yuan replied immediately.

After sitting in the private office for a while, Zhou Jing went to the game studio. After the King's Summoning development team established the character modeling, the effect was significantly improved, especially the modelers poached from Xuan Ji and Tian Long. The characters they drew were very Chinese comic style, and the modeling of female heroes fully met Zhou Jing's requirements, with powerful faces, chests and legs.

"This is called professionalism."

Zhou Jing picked up a few drawn models and looked at them before saying.

"Mr. Zhou's design is so ingenious."

The modeler was impressed by Zhou Jing's game character designs, which completely overturned traditional design concepts.

Sun Shangxiang rolls around carrying heavy guns, Li Bai is an assassin who can kill one person every ten steps, the four beauties are the four magicians in the game, the White Bone Demon in Journey to the West becomes a female assassin, Confucius is a hexagonal warrior, Taishang Laojun is an assistant, Han Fei and Li Si are magicians, and Bao Si is a fire girl.

There are also Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Wang Mang, Liu Bang, and Xiang Yu. The imagination is really big. After the game is launched, will those who like Qin heroes such as Ying Zheng be irreconcilable with those who overthrow the Qin Dynasty?

The King's Summoning Zhou Jing has some plagiarism and some originality, and adds some characters that are not in the King's Summoning, such as the White Bone Demon, Han Fei, Li Si, Bao Si, Wang Mang, etc.

Bao Si's skills were based on Zhou Yu's, and her character was inspired by Yan Lingji. She is a heroine who combines beauty and temptation, and it is most appropriate to describe her as a beauty who brings disaster.

In short, as long as you establish your own cultural characteristics as the direction of your creation, there will be plenty of materials for characters and stories.

Zhou Jing had no idea about character modeling. All he could do was set the character's profession and skill mechanism, check the samples made by the modeling team, and check the progress of the programmers.

The programmers have a clear division of labor. Some work on the architecture, some work on the underlying programs, some work on the game mechanics, and some work on the heroes. This kind of online game cannot be completed in a day or two. They all have their own tasks, and it would be inconvenient for Zhou Jing to join in, as it would disrupt the rhythm of others. Therefore, Zhou Jing no longer participated in the basic development of the game, but focused on solving problems encountered during their development process.

At noon, Zhou Jing went home for lunch. After lunch, he and Gu Jia rested for a while before going to the company.

There were interviews in the afternoon. The project team and the operations department were recruiting. Wang Tao and Qin Zhengyu asked Zhou Jing if he wanted to interview in person. Zhou Jing didn't care about trivial matters such as interviews and left it to Wang Tao and Qin Zhengyu. Wang Tao and others were responsible for specific projects and knew better than Zhou Jing what kind of people were needed. Zhou Jing only looked at results and work efficiency.

September will be very busy as we need to complete the information system plan for Qingxian Xincheng County Hospital and Yushi Hospital. The plan not only covers the information system architecture issues, but also the database and design plans for each subsystem. The plan is crucial to whether we can finally win the project.

If the plan cannot be done well, how can Party A believe that Party B can build a good system?

Modern hospitals have very high requirements for databases and information systems. The subsystems must cover all departments of the hospital. The company has not yet developed a similar system. In order to do it well, Wang Tao consulted information while asking Qin Zhengyu to find a way to build a hospital system to study.

Seeing that all the employees were busy, Zhou Jing felt much more at ease. He felt very comfortable drinking tea and handling affairs in the office.

Wang Tao found Zhou Jing and said that many basic codes such as similar software systems and databases could be done by fresh graduates or interns, so that the company could take on more projects, so he proposed to recruit a group of senior students.

Zhou Jing had talked about this with Gu Jia yesterday. Anyway, seniors or fresh graduates are very cheap, so the internship period can be set longer. For seniors, the internship period can be set at six months. There is no performance bonus and no five social insurances and one housing fund during the internship. Even if you recruit seniors from 211 universities to do internships with a monthly salary of four or five thousand, there are plenty of people willing to do it.

For seniors or fresh graduates, a long internship period has one advantage. It is easier to retain employees if the internship period is longer. For example, most companies require fresh graduates with no work experience to undergo an internship of at least three months, and at most half a year. The time spent in the workplace is very precious. It is not cost-effective for fresh graduates with no experience or qualifications to change jobs before they even pass the internship period. It is very detrimental to their personal development. From the company's perspective, the value of fresh graduates can be squeezed as much as possible.

"Assign four senior interns to each project team. Brother Wang will do the work first. I will let HR take care of the recruitment."

Zhou Jing agreed immediately. If an intern's monthly salary was 5,000 yuan, hiring thirty people would only cost a few hundred thousand yuan a month. This amount of money was negligible for a company with a net profit of tens of millions.

Last month, another small company on the same floor of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. went bankrupt. Zhou Jing asked the administrative department to rent three offices of that company. Those three offices can easily accommodate about a hundred people.

As for the recruitment method, Zhou Jing asked Tang Yuan to arrange campus recruitment, targeting first-tier and 211 universities. Although Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. is not a state-owned enterprise and is not a large factory now, it will not have trouble recruiting people if it goes to 211 or even 985 universities.

Happy Match and Rhythm Master continue to be popular on the entire Internet. When job seekers learn that both games are produced by Chuangzhi Technology, they will probably scramble to get them.

“Considering college somewhere else?”

Tang Yuan asked while taking notes. "The campus recruitment is only in BJ, and the online recruitment is open to the whole country. Let's do this. We plan to recruit 211 students. 985 first-tier universities only require undergraduates, 4500 211 universities only require undergraduates, 985 universities only require undergraduates, undergraduates, masters, and doctors. The salary is for first-tier universities, for universities, and for universities."

Zhou Jing said after a little thought.

It is important for IT companies to keep pace with the times and need fresh blood. The current senior programmers of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. have graduated for several years and may not be as strong as fresh graduates in innovative thinking. Top students from 985 universities not only have relatively high training value, but also can play the role of catfish, stimulating old employees through internal competition.

After saying that, Zhou Jing looked at Tang Yuan and asked if he had memorized it.

"Remember it."

Tang Yuan nodded and said.

"Don't consider Peking University or Tsinghua University among the 985 universities. Give priority to Harbin Institute of Technology and Northwestern Polytechnical University. Keep an eye on the autumn campus recruitment of Northwestern Polytechnical University and Jiaotong University. Then send one person to Tangdu to set up a temporary recruitment point. I will ask Tangdu's human resources department to assist."

Zhou Jing took a sip of water and continued.

"it is good."

Tang Yuan didn't understand why his boss excluded Peking University and Tsinghua University, but he didn't ask the reason. This boss was not an incompetent boss. There must be a legitimate reason for doing so. Maybe he thought the students of Peking University and Tsinghua University were too arrogant.

After arranging the recruitment tasks, it was time to get off work before I knew it.

Zhou Jing didn't want to work overtime, so he went home after get off work. The company now has twelve programmer groups, each with six to fifteen people. Each group has at least four top students from 984 universities. It is not right to support so many people in vain.

You get what you pay for, and the same applies to people.

Those with 985 degrees are obviously more powerful than those with ordinary first-class and 211 degrees. 985 top students are very efficient in doing projects. They don't need much guidance from engineers and can get started immediately after getting the project. For projects developed by the company itself, Zhou Jing only needs to provide ideas or architecture, and the team of 985 top students can implement the boss's ideas.

Having nurtured so many talents, Zhou Jing still has other things to do.

In April and May this year, Zhou Jing's plan was to expand the team of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. to 100 people this year. The actual development speed of the company has far exceeded expectations. After completing the autumn recruitment arranged this time, the company's staff will be close to 200. Zhou Jing's latest plan is to build an entire office building if the electronics factory sells well and the King's Call is successfully launched next year.

When he got home, Gu's mother had already put the meal on the table. Zhou Jing washed his hands and face and ate.

"Drink something first."

Gu Jia gave Zhou Jing a bowl of ice porridge.

“This porridge is good.”

Zhou Jing picked it up and took two sips. It was very refreshing.

"This is the new way I learned to make ice porridge. Unfortunately, I learned it too late because summer is over. The recipe uses rock sugar, but I added honey and pure cane sugar."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Is the honey running low? I'll buy two more jars from the beekeeper next time I go back to Yu City."

Honey is indispensable in the home. Zhou Jing always buys honey from the beekeepers in his hometown. It is pure honey that has not been processed.

"There's still half a can left."

Gu Jia drank a lot of honey this summer and made her own honey lemon, honey grapefruit tea, etc. As she was pregnant, Gu Jia didn't want to eat food or drink drinks bought outside, so she made them herself. She felt that she could open a beverage shop.

"Jiajia's complexion and physical condition have been very good since last year, unlike many people who experience various discomforts during pregnancy."

Mother Gu looked at her daughter and said with a smile.

“It may have something to do with eating habits.”

Gu Jia also felt it was magical. She was nourished by Zhou Jing last year, and she hadn't done it since she became pregnant in April this year, but her physical condition was still surprisingly good. She didn't know how to explain it.

Zhou Jing knew clearly that it must be because of his physical condition after rebirth, which could make the physical condition of the opposite sex who were close to him better. This was true for both Yang Wenwen and Gu Jia. The same was true for Yang Wenwen's daughter, who was often held by Zhou Jing. The little girl hadn't been sick for a long time.

If it is a rebirth benefit, it would not be bad.

After dinner, Zhou Jing accompanied Gu Jia for a walk as usual. After the walk, he watched a movie with Gu Jia on the computer. It was getting late after watching the movie, so he took a shower and rested.

"Has the acquisition of the electronics factory been finalized?"

Gu Jia was a little worried about the boy using more than 160 million to acquire an electronics factory with poor performance, but she fully supported it. Since the boy decided to give it a try, she would buy it.

God has endowed me with talents that will be useful, and I will come back even if I lose all my money. Gu Jia believed that Zhou Jing would be able to get up even if he fell. With Zhou Jing's current strength, it would not be a big deal even if all 160 million was wasted. With Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. as the basic base, losing two or three hundred million would not be a problem.

"It's basically settled. We'll buy it once the electronics factory finishes the orders it has." Zhou Jing put his hands on Gu Jia's legs and massaged them, saying, "Don't worry. Everything is under control. As long as we can develop good products, it will be easy for the electronics factory to go from loss to profit. After we buy the electronics factory, we'll start with simple digital products and set up a research and development department. We can use the technical support of our company to quickly upgrade the electronic products."

"There are almost no electronics factories in Tangdu that have their own brand products. If you can make good products, the government will definitely support you strongly."

Gu Jia felt that her worries were unnecessary. Tangdu's electronics industry was indeed not doing well at the moment, and the entire Northwest electronics industry was in poor condition. However, this seeming disadvantage could be turned into an advantage. As long as good products could be made, the province would provide support in many aspects, such as preferential tax policies, loans, and even technical support.

What Zhou Jing is doing now is turning disadvantages into advantages.

The success of Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. is to turn the backward disadvantage of Yulin's technical service industry into an advantage, and then use the success of Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. to obtain resources for Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd.

After achieving success in software technology, Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. provided assistance to electronics factories and quickly realized the upgrade of technical services to modern industries. This was Zhou Jing's plan, a perfect entrepreneurial route.
