Chapter 535 The Child Was Just an Accident
The weekend ended quickly, and on Monday Zhou Jing took the chip design company's project proposal to the relevant departments of the High-tech Zone.

Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. is now a key provincial technology enterprise, and the chip design company meets the attraction conditions of the High-tech Zone Smartphone Industrial Park, so the leaders of the relevant departments attached great importance to it and reported it to Secretary Tangdu SW as soon as possible.

Secretary Tangdu SW also attached great importance to it. After learning about the information of the chip design company planned by Ideal Technology Co., Ltd., he directly approved it. The investment was over 1 billion yuan, and it was a high-quality technology industry, which did not require tedious argumentation such as environmental protection.

The semiconductor industry is the weak point of Tangdu and the entire northwest region. It is most appropriate to take advantage of Ideal Technology's mobile phone and other electronic products industries to drive Tangdu to develop the semiconductor industry. Except for Tangdu local companies, other companies will not be willing to go to the trouble of investing in the semiconductor industry in Tangdu.

Zhou Jing wanted to complete the chip design company's factory construction as soon as possible. Secretary Tangdu SW was also anxious, fearing that Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. would change its mind, so Secretary Tangdu SW immediately notified the relevant units to handle the matter in a special manner and implement the project of Ideal Technology Co., Ltd.'s investment in the chip design company as soon as possible.

After receiving the notice from their superiors, the senior officials of the High-tech Zone did not slack off and decided to take Zhou Jing to see the land in person next Tuesday.

The overall situation of the chip design company has been decided. Zhou Jing left the high-tech zone and returned to Ideal Technology. Bai Xiyao was waiting in the office.

"Done, I'll go check out the land tomorrow."

Zhou Jing walked into the office and said to his expectant bestie Bai.

"So soon, are you using your father-in-law's connections?"

Bai Xiyao knew that there would be no obstacles in the chip design company project, but she didn't expect the process to be so fast.

"No, we are anxious, but they are more anxious."

Zhou Jing threw the detailed information about the high-tech zone's investment promotion to Bai's girlfriend.

Tangdu Hi-Tech Zone provides strong support for investment in science and technology industries, including preferential loans, help in building supporting industrial facilities, priority procurement and subsidies after the company is completed and operational, etc., which are very important for the company's early development.

"Yes, as long as you have money to invest anywhere, you will be welcomed. Do you want me to go with you tomorrow?"

Bai Xiyao said as she looked at the investment promotion materials.

"go together."

I am optimistic about Zhou Jing's return to BJ, and Bai's girlfriend will be responsible for the subsequent specific procedures.

“It’s very stressful.”

Bai Xiyao is used to being carefree. She is okay when dealing with people in society, but she is a little unconfident when dealing with government departments.

"Select a temporary project leader from among the semiconductor engineers in the R&D department and go together tomorrow."

Zhou Jing was thinking about tomorrow's accompanying personnel. He couldn't go alone. To invest in chip design, there must be someone who understands chip design among the accompanying personnel.

"Row."

Bai Xiyao found the information of semiconductor engineers in the R&D department, selected a suitable person, and notified him to come to the office.

After talking to the person recommended by Bai’s bestie, Zhou Jing appointed him as the project leader.

Bai Xiyao has already arranged for people to set up a chip design team in advance. They have rented a place in Tangdu that is relatively good and quiet, and arranged for semiconductor engineers to purchase equipment. Everything is done against the clock, and the team can be formed by July at the latest.

After arranging a trip to the High-tech Zone to look at land tomorrow, it was almost time to get off work, so Zhou Jing called Gu Jia and then went out for dinner with his bestie Bai.

Plans always fail to keep up with changes. Zhou Jingyuan planned to return to BJ on Sunday because the matters at the chip design company had to be postponed to Tuesday.

"Xu Jun will start working next week. Should we give him the supply chain work?"

Bai Xiyao said after leaving the company building.

"Okay, later."

Zhou Jing had no objection. Xu Jun worked part-time as a product manager and had to deal with people in the supply chain.

Bai Xiyao thought so too. She would definitely have to wait until Xu Jun was familiar with the company's business before entrusting him with important tasks. "You go back to BJ tomorrow. Before you leave, formally appoint the vice chairman. You can assist in the interview of the financial officer."

Zhou Jing nodded. Ideal Technology's business was getting bigger and bigger. It was too difficult for Bai Guimi, a girl of 24 or 25 years old, to be responsible for everything herself. Zhou Jing had to take care of Chuangzhi Technology as well. Tangdu needed a capable vice chairman. This candidate would be found in the R&D department of Ideal Technology. Bai Guimi recommended Zhou Jing for the appointment.

Zhou Jing and her best friend Bai talked about work while eating, and then went back to their homes.

The time for viewing land in the High-tech Zone was scheduled at 10:30 in the morning, and Zhou Jing arrived at Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. at around 8 o'clock.

Bai Xiyao also arrived at the company early, selected the vice chairman candidate and gave the information to Zhou Jing.

"Fang Ming."

Zhou Jing took the information. Fang Ming, 35 years old, is a Ph.D. from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, majoring in electronic engineering and communication engineering. He is a senior engineer. He previously studied wireless communication technology at an aerospace research institute in Tangdu. He is currently the director of the R&D department at Ideal Technology Co., Ltd.

The R&D personnel in the R&D teams of Ideal Technology and Chuangzhi Technology are generally young, with very few over 40 years old. The average age of the R&D team of Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. is around 34 years old, and the average age of the R&D team of Chuangzhi Technology is even lower, less than 33 years old. The advantage of a young team is that they are energetic and more sensitive to new technologies. For example, young people are more interested in and passionate about the emerging artificial intelligence.

"This person has strong technical skills, but may be a little lacking in market management."

Bai Xiyao looked at Zhou Jing and said.

"Just exercise and it will be fine."

It is normal for science and engineering students to lack in management and marketing. Their personal abilities and learning abilities are unquestionable. As long as they have the opportunity, they can learn anything very quickly. After reading the information, Zhou Jing decided to appoint Fang Ming as the vice chairman of Ideal Technology.

After the selection was made, Bai Xiyao notified Fang Ming to come to the office for a talk, and she left the office first.

"Mr. Zhou."

After a while, Fang Ming, wearing a pair of rectangular glasses, came to the office.

Fang Ming is over 1.8 meters tall. At the age of 35, he still maintains a good figure. He has a straight body, regular facial features, and is full of energy. At first glance, he is a very self-disciplined science and engineering man.

"sit."

Zhou Jing poured Fang Ming a glass of water and motioned him to sit on the sofa.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Fang Ming took the water cup with both hands, put it on the table and sat down.

Zhou Jing sat on another sofa with a relaxed posture and said, "I am usually in charge of BJ's company. Ideal Technology has achieved such good results in such a short time thanks to your assistance to Vice President Bai."

"It's what we should do." The boss was more casual, so Fang Ming also relaxed a little. He was very satisfied with his job at Ideal Technology. His previous job at the research institute was dull. There were always some management rules and regulations that disrupted the research work, and sometimes he had to worry about applying for research and development funds, which made him very uncomfortable.

After coming to Ideal Technology, Fang Ming doesn't have to worry about anything except his job. He doesn't need to worry about social relationships or R&D funds. He can make the most of what he has learned and put the developed technologies into use. Such a company is an ideal place for R&D personnel.

"I am in charge of the technical research and development department at BJ Company. I am used to speaking directly with technical staff. Brother Fang is also a technician, so I will speak directly to him about work matters."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"President Zhou, please go ahead."

The boss's call of "Brother Fang" made Fang Ming feel completely respected.

"Although mobile phones and Bluetooth speakers are selling well now, smartphones are the key to Ideal Technology's entry into the modern technology circle and the foundation for Ideal Technology's future survival. The domestic smartphone market is highly competitive. Making products well is one thing, but it is equally important to export products."

"We have made a smartphone, which means we have completed the behind-the-scenes work. The next step is to deal with market issues, further improve the company's organizational structure and comprehensive operational issues. This requires people who have mastered the technology and are familiar with the company's products. After discussing with Mr. Bai, I want Brother Fang to serve as vice chairman to help promote the company's further development. Of course, it depends on Brother Fang's ideas."

Zhou Jing looked at Fang Ming and said.

"According to the arrangements of President Zhou and President Bai, I will do my best to help the company develop."

After a slight hesitation, Fang Ming did not refuse the appointment. Although he had no experience as a company executive, this was a challenge as well as an opportunity. In a civilian technology company, bringing one's research results to the market is a higher level of test for technical personnel. Furthermore, technical personnel's contact with the market can better establish the direction of product research and development.

"Okay, that's settled then."

Zhou Jing finalized the appointment.

After Fang Ming left Zhou Jing's office, Bai Xiyao went in and asked, "How is it?"

"no problem."

The appointment of the vice chairman is an important matter for the company. After Zhou Jing signed the appointment letter, he asked Bai Guimi to arrange a meeting in the afternoon. Except for the people in the production workshop, managers from other departments would all attend.

At half past nine, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao set out to the High-tech Zone to look at land. Senior officials and the district mayor of the High-tech Zone came with the heads of relevant departments in charge of the development zone and gave face-to-face instructions to cooperate with Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. in investing in the construction of a chip design company.

Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. was the first company to respond to the construction of a smartphone industrial zone in the high-tech zone. Zhou Jing of course gave priority to selecting a good site, and also selected the land for building the R&D base. The R&D base covers 2,300 acres, and the chip design company covers more than 300 acres. The chip design company has invested more than 1 billion yuan, and the R&D base has invested more than 13 billion yuan. The investment in this industrial park in Zhou Jing High-tech Zone alone exceeds 15 billion yuan.

However, the R&D base cannot be built for the time being. Only a piece of land is reserved for Ideal Technology. Whether it can officially acquire this land depends on the performance of Ideal smartphones after they are launched on the market. After all, more than 10 billion is not a small amount. Even if Ideal Technology successfully builds the R&D base, the operation of such a large R&D base will require huge expenses.

After the land was demarcated, Zhou Jing proposed to invite the district leaders for a meal, but the other party politely declined. Zhou Jing did not insist and returned to the company with Bai Xiyao.

“We will plan this month and July, start construction in August, and if all goes well, it will be completed in July or August next year.”

Bai Xiyao didn't drive, she spoke while sitting in Zhou Jing's car.

"Eat first or go back to the company?"

Zhou Jing started the car and said.

"Let's eat first." Bai Xiyao touched her stomach and said with a smile, "It's quite difficult to build the R&D base. If we start construction at the end of this year, it will not be put into use until the end of 15 at the earliest. Will our company go bankrupt by then?"

"It's entirely possible."

Zhou Jing is not worried at all. The company will not face any major challenges before Trump takes office. There are still several years until 18, and there are many things to do.

After dinner, I went to Ideal Technology, where a meeting was held at 2 p.m. to announce the company's job adjustments.

After completing the appointment of Fang Ming and others, Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. formed an organizational structure with Zhou Jing as chairman, Bai Xiyao and Fang Ming as vice chairmen, and Xu Jun and Zhang Ming as directors. Zhou Jing makes decisions on specific positions, Bai Xiyao is responsible for daily management of the company, Fang Ming is responsible for smartphone research and development and marketing, Xu Jun is responsible for product control and supply chain, and Zhang Ming is responsible for international business. The only thing missing is a financial officer to preliminarily complete the organizational structure of the company's senior management.

The management of various departments gathered in the conference room for a meeting. At the meeting, Zhou Jing formally announced the appointment of Fang Ming and others. The first task after the appointment was to prepare for the launch of smartphones.

Ideal Technology has established stores across the country. Before the smartphone is launched on the market, the regional manager has to provide professional training to the store managers of all stores. The store managers then provide business training to the recruited clerks, and finally conduct assessments.

The work uniforms for employees in Ideal Mobile Phone stores are unified and the design has been completed. Training for store managers has also begun to be organized.

One thing that has not been determined yet is the employment method of the store clerks. Zhou Jing needs to make the final decision on whether it is a labor contract or a formal contract with Ideal Technology. If a formal contract is signed, the company will need to pay social security for the clerks. This is not the mainstream method. Many small private enterprises do not have social security, let alone stores.

Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. has established less than 700 stores across the country. Each store is staffed with four employees, with a total of less than 3,000 people, including base salary and commission. If social security is added, the monthly salary cost exceeds 12 million yuan, and less than 200 million yuan a year.

After roughly calculating the cost of signing a formal contract, Zhou Jing decided to give the clerk the opportunity to become a regular employee. The internship period is six months, and the clerk will be converted to a regular employee if he passes the business assessment. After conversion, the salary will be paid by Ideal Technology and paid by the provincial head offices.

For a technology company with an annual net profit of tens of billions, the cost of paying social security for thousands of stores is negligible, and the payment standard is definitely low, but it has a different meaning for young people at the bottom of society with little education, as it can provide them with basic living security.

Zhou Jing didn't know whether doing this would bring returns to the company, or how much returns it could bring. These were not things to consider now. What the company should do was to make a good product. If the product was good, the salesperson's job would be much easier.

"Decided?"

Bai Xiyao took a sip of water and said.

"Let's do this for now, and then set up an audit department."

Zhou Jing nodded and said that Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. is expanding its business and will officially start its business nationwide after the success of its smartphones. By then, they cannot be careless about financial issues and cannot allow serious economic problems to arise within the company.

"okay."

Bai Xiyao wrote it down.

Zhou Jing bought a ticket back to BJ at around 5pm, and Bai Xiyao drove Zhou Jing to the airport at 4pm.

When we arrived in BJ at around nine in the evening, Gu Jia met us at the airport and asked us with concern, "You've been busy all day, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

"Miss you!"

Zhou Jing hugged Gu Jia's slender waist and said.

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Do you miss me or Zhou Zhou?"

"The child is just an accident, you are my true love."
