Chapter 465 2012, New Year's Day

The weekend passed quickly, and Zhou Jing went to work on Monday and began to work on the branch of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. and the purchase of an office building.

After work, Zhou Jing sent an announcement in the company group, explaining the plan to open a branch in Tangdu, and that he was going to select a deputy manager and several programmers from the headquarters company to send to Tangdu, with priority given to people from Tangdu.

Opening a branch is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all the current employees of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. Those who are sent there from the headquarters will definitely be promoted directly, so many people who are not from Tangdu also want to be selected.

After Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. is put into operation, Zhou Jing will have to devote more time and energy to the operation. In order not to affect Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., Zhou Jing also plans to promote one of the core backbones from the headquarters of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. to serve as deputy general manager. Zhou Jing plans to choose Wang Tao.

At Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., Wang Tao is the first choice in terms of both ability and qualifications.

Gu Jia's position as deputy general manager and financial director has been retained, and there is no conflict in promoting another deputy manager. Gu Jia is in charge of finance, and Wang Tao is in charge of the project department.

After Wang Tao was promoted to deputy general manager, the project management needed to be adjusted appropriately. Zhou Jing thought about it and made a simple personnel adjustment document. The general content was:
1. Wang Tao will be promoted to deputy general manager of the headquarters, and another person will be selected from the project team to serve as director of the project department.

Second, select deputy managers, project directors, project team leaders, etc. from the project department for the Tangdu branch.

Selecting management for the branch from the headquarters is a benefit for old employees. Zhou Jing personally oversees the personnel selection, first considering their abilities and contributions to the company to ensure that capable and responsible people are selected.

Before promoting people, Zhou Jing had one thing to explain to them. After Wang Tao was promoted to deputy general manager, his salary would remain unchanged for the time being. It was a promotion without a salary increase. Only the performance points would be increased accordingly. The higher the performance points, the higher the performance that could be obtained each month. The performance points of company employees are related to their positions and posts. The performance points of project department personnel are generally higher than those of human resources, finance, administration and other departments.

The monthly salary of Wang Tao, Qin Zhengyu and Li Jianwei is already 300,000 yuan, plus benefits, performance and bonuses, the monthly salary is nearly 500,000 yuan. This is not much different from the same level in their previous companies. It has been less than a year since they came to Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., and Zhou Jing is preparing to adjust their salaries at the next salary increase node of the company.

For those who have been re-promoted to positions such as project directors and supervisors, they will not enjoy the monthly salary of 200,000 yuan that Wang Tao and others received when they first came to the company. Wang Tao and others held high positions in their previous companies, and coming to the newly established Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. is a downgrade, so their treatment naturally cannot be bad.

Zhou Jing plans to give the newly promoted project director a monthly salary of 150,000 yuan.

The deputy manager of Tangdu branch earns 150,000 yuan a month, and the project director earns 100,000 yuan a month. Such salaries at Tangdu are already higher than those at other software companies.

After the document was completed, Zhou Jing asked the front desk to post it on the company bulletin board, and then called Wang Tao to the lounge for a talk.

“Thank you Mr. Zhou for your trust.”

When he arrived at the lounge, Wang Tao immediately thanked Zhou Jing for promoting him to deputy general manager.

"Brother Wang's ability is justified."

Zhou Jing invited Wang Tao to sit down and asked Wang Tao about which people in the project department could be qualified for positions such as project director and supervisor, as well as deputy manager of the Tangdu branch.

After understanding the basic situation from Wang Tao, Zhou Jing made a comprehensive consideration based on the problem-solving capabilities of the personnel and the performance of the project team they led, and decided to dispense with voting and campaign speeches. What the project department needed was real talent and hard work, not just empty talk.

After finishing the work of the project department, Zhou Jing called the executive director Tang Yuan to his office and assigned Tang Yuan a task to select an office building for the headquarters of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. At the same time, he started recruiting in advance to supplement the headquarters with staff.

Zhou Jing had learned about BJ's office buildings on the Internet. The average price last month was less than 800 yuan. If he bought a whole building, say an 15X building, it would cost more than million yuan. Zhou Jing could afford it.

However, there is no need to buy an entire office building in BJ now. First, he does not need such a large space. Second, Zhou Jing does not want to buy an office building that is neither up to standard nor low to the standard. Zhou Jing's ambition is to become a world-famous company, and that day will not be too long. He will definitely need a grand company building with at least 20 floors.

So just buy one or two floors of office space in BJ.

Office buildings in Tangdu are much cheaper. The total price of buying an 800X20 building is less than half of that in BJ. Zhou Jing is hesitant about whether to buy one in Tangdu. He can rent out the unused space. In addition, the housing prices in Tangdu have great room for appreciation. In less than ten years, the price of office buildings in Tangdu will rise to more than yuan.
The down payment is 300 to 400 million yuan. If Zhou Jing says he will buy it, he will buy it. He calls Bai Xiyao and asks her to build an office building.

Bai Xiyao: "So arrogant?"

Zhou Jing: "Just consider it as an investment."

Bai Xiyao: "Okay, then the office of Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. will move to our office building, and the R&D department of Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. can also move here."

The biggest disadvantage of the electronics factory is that it is too remote and desolate, so many top students don't want to work there.

Zhou Jing: "Yes, the electronics factory can only retain the production and production technology departments, and the finance department, R&D department, operations department, etc. can all be moved to the office building."

"no problem."

Bai Xiyao was excited just thinking about a twenty-story office building. She would have a place in the Hi-Tech Zone next year.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jing opened the stock market operation, and then went to various office halls. He first came to the nearest Project Room No. 1. The team of Project Room No. 1 was working on the hospital information system project and the information system of the new town unit in Qing County. Everyone was fully committed to their work. No one was lazy at Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., and the company did not keep idle people.

Today I received news that the company is promoting people and selecting generals for the Tangdu branch. They work harder, the company is thriving, and there will be many opportunities in the future. Of course, the premise is to do their job well. If they can't even do their job well, how can they be valued by the boss?

After coming out of Project Room No. 1, Zhou Jing went to the game studio to check the progress of "Summon the King".

The King's Summoning project has been going on for nearly five months since it started in August. Version 1.0 is scheduled to be completed in September 12. Zhou Jing is very concerned about this game. If everything goes well, this game and the subsequent mobile game version will be one of the dominant players in the domestic gaming field in the next fifteen years. Whether it can leverage Penguin's position in the gaming field depends on this game.

"Mr. Zhou."

Qin Zhengyu, director of the game studio, came over and said.

Zhou Jing nodded and said, "The development of the mobile versions of Happy Elimination and Rhythm Master is almost done. We will transfer some people to the King Summoning Team. After the Tangdu branch is established after the new year, all the development work of the mini-games will be transferred to the Tangdu branch, and all the people here will be transferred to the King Summoning Team."

"Game studios that want to go to the Tangdu branch are welcome to sign up voluntarily. There will be two spots each for the Happy Elimination and Rhythm Master teams, and five spots for the King Summoning team. At that time, the Tangdu branch will be responsible for the game team, and the Tangdu branch will be mainly responsible for basic development."

"It's not a long-term assignment. He can be transferred back after the team in Tangdu stabilizes."

Zhou Jing added.

"I'll make it clear to them."

Qin Zhengyu nodded and said.

After reading the development materials of King's Summoning for a while, Zhou Jing went to the R&D department, which was leading by Li Jianwei and working on smartphone technology.

The tables and cabinets in the R&D department are filled with purchased mobile phone accessories. Technicians assemble them according to research projects and optimize parameters and design plans based on the research results.

Zhou Jing had lunch at the company at noon. After more than half a year of use and optimization, the meal ordering software within Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. has become very complete. The next step is to open the online payment function so that it can be put into small-scale commercial use. If it is to be promoted on a large scale, a lot of work needs to be done.

The takeaway business is not feasible for the time being, and Zhou Jing is not interested in focusing on the takeaway business. The prototype of the software has already been developed, and it would be a waste not to make some money from it.

In two or three years, Zhou Jing will work in the food delivery industry for a while. When he is done, it would be a good choice to sell it and make a lot of cash. I heard that the team that worked on the shared bicycles made more than 1 billion yuan when they withdrew. After the food delivery software became popular, its price was much higher than that of the shared bicycles.

After dinner, Zhou Jing went to the lounge and used his break time to discuss the details of the electronics factory and branch with the company's backbones.

"There should be no problem next year. We can just follow the current plan. The year after next, our company will usher in earth-shaking changes. We must not only be prepared to welcome the explosive expansion of the company, but also be prepared to face the explosive growth of market demand, as well as a series of issues such as store and after-sales construction."

Qin Zhengyu, Director of Operations, spoke first.

"Yes, the year after next will be an important milestone for our company." Wang Tao, Li Jianwei and others nodded in agreement.

Several key members of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. have a relatively clear understanding of Zhou Jing's business layout, including the companies under Zhou Jing's name and the company's status. They have unshakable faith in the electronics factory and the "Ideal Mobile Phone" project. They are not blindly confident in Zhou Jing, but their confidence comes from the technological development of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd.

The Bluetooth technology mastered by Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. is far ahead, and the mobile phone system it develops is not much worse than that of iPhone. Another point is that the boss Zhou Jing's unique advanced and creative thinking has given Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. powerful software development capabilities. With the advent of the intelligent era, the potential of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. will be truly released.

Zhou Jing was greatly impressed by Qin Zhengyu's idea. He was worthy of being the operations director. In terms of company operations, Zhou Jing was not as good as Qin Zhengyu. In the past six months, Zhou Jing was on business trips from time to time. The reason why Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. had no problems in operations was that the first contributor was Qin Zhengyu.

Zhou Jing decided to promote Qin Zhengyu to deputy general manager, in charge of the marketing and operations departments.

"Everyone said very well. The year after next will be a huge opportunity and a huge challenge for us. By then, we will need a large team of talents, not just technical talents, but all departments will need them, so we must focus on building a team of talents next."

Zhou Jing said after listening to several people's speeches.

After discussing the main issues, several key members returned to their respective posts and started working.

Zhou Jing went to the office to do planning. They were about to enter the first quarter of the new year. Improving the company's performance was the first task. It was not the right time to make short videos, so Zhou Jing planned to make a picture beauty software. The basic function was to beautify photos. Other functions included photo social networking, various style editing, dynamic slideshows and other diversified gameplays. Another function was micro-video, which was a transitional product before short videos.

Zhou Jing is only responsible for planning, and it will be launched together with smartphones next year.

Tomorrow is New Year's Day. The company has no activities on New Year's Day and will have a day off. The company will not work overtime today and everyone will leave work at five o'clock, which will not affect the employees' mood for the holiday.

After get off work, Zhou Jing went home and called Gu Jia on the way to ask if she needed to buy anything.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, Wu Suqin has bought everything she needs, and Zhou Jing passed by a fruit shop and bought some fruit.

"Mom bought some fruit this afternoon."

Gu Jia went out to greet Zhou Jing.

"It's okay, you can let it go." Zhou Jing touched Gu Jia's belly and said, "It's the countdown to 2012. Are you afraid of the end of the world?"

As 2012 approaches, the internet has started to hype up the end of the world again. Some people firmly believe in science and do not believe in the Mayan prophecy, while others are easily deceived and believe in some bloggers' so-called successful prediction cases, and combine them with abnormal phenomena around the world in the past two years to say that they are omens before the end of the world.

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

After watching "2012" two years ago, Gu Jia felt that if doomsday came, it would be no big deal for everyone to die and be destroyed together. Now that her child is about to be born, she hopes that the world will be peaceful and that doomsday will not come.

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "What is more terrifying than death is the destructive power and invisible shadow of a disaster. It's not a big deal to experience a rainstorm in the city, but it's different in the countryside. There are floods and power outages, especially at night."

"Indeed, human beings are too small in front of nature."

Gu Jia thought about it and it made sense. Death would be the end of everything, while living and facing the despairing disaster would be more torturous and painful.

Dinner was ready. Zhou Jing washed his hands and went to eat. Today's meal was richer than usual.

"What do you want to drink?"

Wu Suqin bought Coke, Sprite and Orange Juice, and took all three buckets under the dining table.

"Pulpy Orange Bar!"

Coke and Sprite have too much carbonated drinks, and Gu Jia already has a big belly, so she doesn’t drink soda.

"I'll come, what do you want to drink, Mom?"

Zhou Jing first poured Gu Jia a glass of orange juice.

"I also want Orange Juice."

Wu Suqin bought Coke and Sprite for her son.

After pouring Gu Jia a glass of orange juice, Zhou Jing poured his mother a glass of orange juice, and finally poured himself a Coke. He said to his mother, "Did you call my dad today?"

"Yes, your dad went back home after work. Did you call him?"

Wu Suqin picked up the orange and said.

"I called him on the way back. He was in a meeting."

Zhou Jing picked up his Coke and clinked glasses with Gu Jia and his mother.

"By the twelfth month, Bowei Company shouldn't be that busy, right?"

Wu Suqin took a sip of her drink and said.

"We are not busy with projects, but we are busy collecting bills."

The company is busy collecting debts every December.

Gu Jia ate a piece of food and said, "How much debt does Bo Wei have that he hasn't collected yet?"

"Two large projects with over 100 million yuan are undergoing acceptance. After acceptance, less than 200 million yuan has not been recovered. Chuangzhi Technology has about 80 million yuan that has not been recovered."

"That's almost 400 million. Is it easy to collect?"

Wu Suqin was very worried that it would be a huge loss if she couldn't collect so much money.

"We have a contract. If it's hard to talk, we'll just go through legal procedures."

Zhou Jing is not worried that the other party will default on the debt. If they want to default on the debt, they can only ask the court to enforce it.

“It’s best to have a pleasant cooperation.”

"."

After eating and drinking, Zhou Jing stretched and helped Gu Jia to sit in the living room. He took Gu Jia's hand and said with a smile: "How are we going to celebrate the New Year tonight?"

"How do you want to live?"
