Chapter 520 The Human Cub's Surprise Moment
After the company’s employee stock ownership plan was announced, one could intuitively feel that employees’ work enthusiasm was improving.
The employee stock ownership plan is Zhou Jing’s first step in the company’s reform. Afterwards, the company’s wolf culture will be strengthened on the basis of employee stock ownership and annual dividends, including Ideal Technology Co., Ltd.
Zhou Jing, who worked as a cow and horse in his previous life, does not reject the company's wolf culture. As long as the salary is sufficient, Zhou Jing can live in the company. What Zhou Jing rejects is that the company is reluctant to pay but requires employees to "voluntarily work overtime", requires employees to be ready to answer the phone 24 hours a day, etc. This is not wolf culture, but cow and horse culture.
No matter which industry, Buddhist culture will be eliminated. Even if you pursue Buddhism, you won’t be able to grow vegetables well. This is not only true in human society, but also in nature. Survival and evolution are processes of competition.
Having lived two lives, Zhou Jing has seen many things and heard many voices. In his previous life, Zhou Jing was ignorant and angry when he was young. After entering the workplace after college, he was negative and confused. However, Zhou Jing did not choose to sink, nor was he brainwashed by any voice, but lived his own way.
Not being disappointed with the world and not having too high expectations is the mentality Zhou Jing developed in his previous life. After developing this mentality, Zhou Jing found that he no longer had mental exhaustion, would not lose sleep because of anything, and was full of energy every day, with more energy to do things that were good for him.
Zhou Jing will not let his employees' efforts go in vain. He cannot do something like not giving employees the rewards they deserve but asking them to work like slaves.
Zhou Jing doesn't like mental exhaustion, nor does he want his employees to exhaust themselves because they don't get the rewards they deserve. Once mental exhaustion occurs, work efficiency will definitely be affected. Completing the same amount of work with mental exhaustion will make people more tired than with positive mental fatigue. This situation is fatal to technology companies and will stifle their imagination and creativity.
"The Endeavor Plan aims to become a world-class technology company in ten years. You tell me the main content and I'll write it."
Gu Jia said as she looked at the contents on Zhou Jing's computer screen.
"I'll write it. There's no rush. I'll present it at the second quarter summary meeting."
Zhou Jing will choose the right time to announce the plan to strengthen the company's wolf culture construction. Ideal mobile phones and Bluetooth speakers are selling well, and the company's performance in the second quarter is far beyond expectations. Zhou Jing will appropriately increase wages and quarterly bonuses, give the sweetness to employees and then talk about contributing to the company.
Wang Tao, Qin Zhengyu and Li Jianwei personally lead the overtime teams of the company's R&D department, project department and game studio to work overtime every day. The current overtime rule implemented by Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. is that each person works overtime at least three times a week from Monday to Friday. The company does not work overtime on Fridays. The actual situation is that people work overtime three times from Monday to Thursday.
Working overtime three times a day from Monday to Thursday is a very high frequency, but no one complains, at least no one complains verbally, and no one can't stand it and resigns. Zhou Jing gives his employees a basic salary that is higher than that of his peers, double pay for overtime, reimbursement of dinner and taxi fares, plus performance bonuses, quarterly bonuses, and year-end bonuses are all higher than those of other companies. If Zhou Jing were an employee, he wouldn't complain either.
In the third quarter, Zhou Jing plans to start overtime on weekends and Saturdays. He will not require everyone to work overtime on weekends every week. The principle is to work overtime one day on weekends every two weeks, and give employees the option to adjust overtime hours. Weekend overtime will be calculated at double the standard overtime time. Those who want to work more overtime are voluntary. In short, overtime flexibility is relatively large.
“It’s just right that the second quarter ends.”
Gu Jia nodded. With the great benefit of employee stock ownership and quarterly bonuses, employees have no reason not to support the company's work. There are many people who want to work for companies like Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. and Ideal Technology Co., Ltd., which offer such good treatment.
"Two weeks is equivalent to working overtime for one day on four weekends."
Gu Jia said as she looked at Zhou Jing's plan for further overtime work.
"How's the intensity?"
Zhou Jing said with a smile.
"Not high. Your arrangement is very humane."
The key point is overtime pay. If the overtime pay can be given in place, Gu Jia, as an ordinary employee, can accept it.
At around four o'clock, Gu Jia went home first. At five o'clock, which was the normal working time, Zhou Jing stayed in the company to work overtime. He went to the R&D department and solved the problem with the team that was working overtime today.
The R&D department is disassembling the optimized Ideal smartphone for testing, and modifying the 3D design drawing on the computer while disassembling the device.
“Which aspects should be optimized to improve waterproof performance?”
Zhou Jing said as he looked at the phone with the back cover removed.
"To achieve true waterproofing, the antenna port, charging port, card slot, headphone jack, speaker, and buttons must all be well made. On the one hand, a sealed design is required, and on the other hand, a relatively high manufacturing process is required."
Li Jianwei introduced them to Zhou Jing one by one.
Zhou Jing asked casually, saying that he was not planning to consider good waterproof performance in the short term and he currently had no ability to solve it.
After staying in the R&D department for a while, Zhou Jing returned to the office and called Bai Xiyao to ask for feedback from people who had tried the new batch of machines.
Bai Xiyao: "We haven't received any feedback on this batch yet. How is the testing going on your end?"
Zhou Jing: "After replacing the hardware, there are some minor adaptation issues with the software, and the system needs to be optimized."
Bai Xiyao: "Come on, the mobile phone batteries, audio batteries and audio speakers of the company we invested in have been tested and there are no problems. When will they start to be used?"
Zhou Jing: "The mobile phone batteries will be tested again, and a batch of audio batteries and speakers will be purchased to gradually replace the previous ones."
Bai Xiyao: "Okay, how is the development of the Bluetooth headset going?"
Zhou Jing: “The micro battery pack is still a little short.”
With the maturity of Ideal Bluetooth audio technology, Bluetooth chip technology has been completely mastered. The battery company invested by Zhou Jing has already made a battery pack that can meet the needs of Bluetooth headsets. Currently, the battery pack life does not meet Zhou Jing's requirements. The research and development of the first generation of Bluetooth headsets should be completed by the time the smartphone is released.
By that time, Zhou Jing has no idea how competitors will respond to the combination of smartphones, smart speakers and Bluetooth headsets.
After six o'clock, Zhou Jing got off work and went home. The first thing he did when he got home was to call his little cotton-padded jacket.
"See if Dad is back."
Gu Jia came to the living room holding the child to greet Zhou Jing.
"what!"
The little girl kept babbling to Zhou Jing and stretched out her little hands to pull Zhou Jing's clothes.
"My little cutie misses daddy so much, kiss daddy, and this way too."
Zhou Jing took the child from Gu Jia's arms and let the child kiss her on both cheeks. The little girl liked to chew things during the teething period, so she nibbled on them in Zhou Jing's arms.
"Xiao Zhou, you must be tired after working so long every day, right?"
Mother Gu brought the cooked noodles to the table and said.
"It's not tiring. I just watch them work in the company."
Zhou Jing hugged the child and kissed the child's cheek, then gently bit the child's hand with his lips.
"Come with mom and let dad eat."
Gu Jia held the child over and said.
Mother Gu brought out the cut watermelon and said, "Xiao Zhou, eat some watermelon first."
"Want some, little cutie? It should be fine if you lick it. Open your mouth."
Zhou Jing picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to the child.
Gu Jia did not stop her. The child was almost four months old, so it was okay for him to taste some fruit. Just a light taste should help promote the development of his taste buds.
The little girl stuck out her tongue, licked the watermelon, smacked her lips, and had a dazed expression. It was the first time she tasted something other than breast milk and formula, and she seemed very surprised.
"Look at her surprised expression. She must be wondering how there can be such delicious food."
Zhou Jing looked at the little girl and said.
"Don't let her stop drinking milk after getting a taste of the sweetness."
Gu Jia was also amused by the child's surprised expression. The human cub was so cute. If she had known that children were so fun, Gu Jia would not have been anxious about having children. She could not wait to have another son.
After reacting, the little girl opened her mouth again and nibbled on the watermelon with her toothless mouth.
"Just taste it, you can't eat it now."
Zhou Jing took the watermelon away and ate it himself.
"what!"
The little girl snorted unhappily.
"You can only eat watermelon when you grow up. If you eat it now, your stomach will hurt."
Gu Jia took the child away and did not let him watch Zhou Jing eat watermelon.
When they arrived at the living room, the little girl was still smacking her lips with satisfaction. Gu Jia said to Zhou Jing, "Zhou Jing, look at what you have done. Zhou Zhou is still thinking about the watermelon."
"Feed me."
After Zhou Jing finished eating the watermelon, he took the bowl to the living room to eat.
The child took two sips of milk and stopped eating. Gu Jia went to get the pacifier that had been boiled in water and put it in the child's mouth. "You're talking bad about your father."
Gu Jia grabbed the child's foot and kicked Zhou Jing.
"The little cutie doesn't cry as much as you might think during teething."
Zhou Jing scratched the soles of the child's feet with the end of chopsticks, and the child's chubby feet twisted.
"He's gotten better after adapting these past two days. He cried at least twice every night last week." Gu Jia looked at the boy and said, "You were away on business for more than a week, so you just happened to avoid the days when Zhou Zhou loved to cry."
"The little cutie is so sensible and considerate of his dad."
Zhou Jing held the child's feet and said.
"Cry more tonight and let daddy comfort you."
Gu Jia gently pinched the child's hand and said.
Zhou Jing looked at the child and said, "Zhou Zhou is daddy's little cotton-padded jacket. I definitely won't have the heart to disturb daddy's rest."
"Let your dad coax you from now on, and follow him to work, okay?"
Gu Jia kissed the child's head and said.
The little girl is very quiet at the moment, chewing the pacifier comfortably in her mouth.
After Zhou Jing finished his meal, Gu Jia put the child on the sofa and asked Zhou Jing to look after him while she went to wash the dishes.
"Do you want a hug from daddy?"
Zhou Jing clapped his hands and said.
"Goose~"
The little girl turned over and wanted to lie on Zhou Jing.
"Little Swallow, Wearing Flowery Clothes"
Zhou Jing picked up the child and lay on the single bed covered with a mat near the balcony. He put the child on his stomach, and the little girl lay on Zhou Jing like a frog.
Looking at the child's tangible cuteness, Zhou Jing felt that he was willing to be a slave for his child.
After Gu Jia finished washing the dishes, Zhou Jing went to the bedroom, changed into casual clothes, and went out to take the baby out for a walk. Gu Jia put the child in the cradle and pushed it, saying to Zhou Jing, "Bring the skipping rope."
Zhou Jing took the skipping rope, went out, locked the door, walked in front of the mother and daughter and said, "Zhou Zhou, keep an eye on Daddy, don't get lost from Mommy."
"Oh!"
The child didn’t know if he could understand, so he just looked at Zhou Jing and spoke baby talk.
"Zhou Zhou, you said you were worried that we would get lost, so you kept an eye on us."
When they reached the elevator door, Gu Jia paused and asked Zhou Jing to carry the child into the elevator to prevent the elevator door from closing and trapping the stroller. After Zhou Jing carried the child in, Gu Jia pushed the stroller in. Zhou Jing did not put the child back into the stroller until they were out of the elevator.
In late May, the evening in the north was neither too cold nor too hot, but refreshing and pleasant. There were people walking their dogs and children on the roads in the community. When Zhou Jing saw people walking large dogs, he remained alert to prevent the dogs from getting close to the children.
"Zhou Zhou, look at that. What is it? Is it Wangwang or a cat?"
Gu Jia pointed at a golden retriever in front.
Zhou Jing squatted down and said to the child: "Learn from daddy, prosperous, prosperous."
"Whoa whoa."
The little girl learned very well. Although her pronunciation is not accurate, it is good enough that she can imitate adults now.
"Our Zhou Zhou is so smart." Gu Jia picked up the child and said, "Learn from mommy. Dogs, dogs, wang, wang; cats, cats, meow, meow."
"You should teach us how to call each other first, and learn from dad, Dad, Dad, Mom, Mom."
"bo~, me~."
The little girl tried very hard to follow the pronunciation.
"It's developing very fast this month. I think it will call mom and dad in six or seven months."
From the third month, Gu Jia felt that the child was no longer as weak and powerless as before. He learned to turn over, roll over, and could make more and more sounds.
"You need to teach more, Dad, Dad, Mom, Mom."
Zhou Jing pushed the stroller and followed Gu Jia, who was holding the child, to teach the child pronunciation.
Gu's mother was doing aerobics with the other aunties in the community square. Gu Jia came to where Gu's mother was and said to the child, "Where is grandma? Did Zhou Zhou see her?"
Afraid that the child couldn't see clearly, Gu Jia took a few steps closer.
Recognizing Gu's mother, the little girl looked at her and smiled.
"Zhou Zhou is here. Do you miss grandma?"
Mother Gu stopped doing aerobics, came over and held the child's hand.
"Do you miss grandma?"
Gu Jia looked at the child and said.
After coaxing the child for a while, Gu's mother continued to exercise. After Gu Jia handed the child to Zhou Jing, she jumped rope.
"We have to jump 300 times today. Zhou Zhou, help mommy count."
Gu Jia came to an empty space with no one around and started dancing while counting silently in her mind.
"Count with Daddy, 1, 2, 3, 4"
Zhou Jing was teaching the child pronunciation, and the little girl turned into a chatterbox, mumbling incoherently.
After watching Gu Jia skipping rope for a while, Zhou Jing held the child and walked around the community square to let the child know the human world. As his vision developed, the child could slowly see colors. Zhou Jing picked a flower by the roadside, and it could be seen that the child was attracted by the color of the flower and his little hands were grabbing the flower.
Children have no consciousness when they are young, and the unconscious stage will become a missing memory in their life. Watching the child grow up little by little, Zhou Jing feels that he can make up for the missing part of his life's memory. Perhaps this is also one of the meanings of having children. Children make adults' lives complete.
"Flowers are to be admired, not destroyed. Who is prettier, Zhou Zhou or the flowers?"
Zhou Jing put the flower in the little girl's hand to prevent her from destroying it.
"what!"
The little girl seemed to like the pink flowers very much and smiled happily at them.
While Gu Jia was jumping rope, Zhou Jing put the child in the stroller and pushed the child to the children's playground to call Yang Wenwen.
In late May, the senior year reached its final sprint stage. Although Yang Wenwen decided to resign with this graduating class, she was still responsible for her students. In the last few days, she no longer paid attention to students' grades, but provided psychological counseling to each student. She checked the dormitories every night and urged them to go to bed early.
"It's almost eleven after checking the dormitories. You can stay in the school dormitory!"
Zhou Jing was very worried that Yang Wenwen came home too late alone.
"Well, you must be very busy these days. You should take care of yourself when the weather is hot."
"."
While talking to Yang Wenwen, Zhou Jing kept his eyes on Gu Jia. Seeing Gu Jia stop skipping rope, Zhou Jing ended the call with Yang Wenwen.
"I've jumped 200 times, and I still need 100 more. Who did you just call?"
Gu Jia came to Zhou Jing and the child and said.
"Bai Xiyao, asked about the hardware compatibility of the Vision series."
