The appearance inside Qianxun Technology Company was the same as the last time he came here. The only difference was that it was more crowded than before. It could be seen that they had recruited many more new employees during this period.
Following Jin Jiming to the office, after the two parties sat down, Zhao Yi said: "The conditions here really need to be improved. The office area is too crowded."
"There is no way around it. There are currently too few places for rent in Jiujiang. Even if we want to improve the office environment, there is nothing we can do. It's not that we are reluctant to spend money." Jin Jiming explained.
He knows that his boss has always paid great attention to the office environment of his employees. He has rarely visited other industries, but he has also heard that they are all built according to the Central CBD, with investments of several billion yuan, and are quite luxurious. .
It is his original employer. The headquarters of Fanxing Software Company can be called a model of modern headquarters. The headquarters construction plan of Fanxing Software Company is different from the Hualong Apparel Company mentioned before.
It is similar to the new city built by Polaris Game Company. The park is open. Inside, you don't feel that this is the headquarters park of a company at all.
The number of employees at the headquarters of Fanxing Software Company is close to 200,000, but these 200,000 employees have created more than 1.5 million nearby jobs, forming a large-scale industrial cluster in Chaoyang District, Kyoto.
It is precisely because of the lessons learned from the past that Polaris Game Company has higher confidence in the headquarters construction model it plans. Otherwise, everyone will be upset.
This is why Polaris Game Company has set its future employee scale at 100,000 people, because according to experience, only when it reaches 100,000 employees can it support the operation of a new city with millions of people.
And in terms of revenue capability, Polaris Game Company is no worse than Fanxing Software Company. If the platform hadn't taken too harsh a commission, their profit margins would have been much higher than Fanxing Software Company.
If Fanxing Software Company were not supported by corporate business, their revenue would not necessarily be higher than that of Polaris Game Company. This is why Polaris Company attaches so much importance to the game industry.
The headquarters of Fanxing Software Company, in addition to occupying a huge area and providing numerous jobs, is the most enviable thing about its well-constructed environment and adopts a garden-style construction model.
If you don't know the specific situation, walking in the headquarters of Fanxing Software Company will feel like you have entered a forest park composed of various parks, leisure places, and artificial lakes, and each building is hidden among the trees.
Precisely because Fanxing Software Company has formed a stable industrial structure in Kyoto, with many people and industries surrounding them, Zhao Yi has never considered moving Fanxing Software Company out of Kyoto.
Now their headquarters is the most prosperous area in Kyoto, and the business atmosphere is much better than that of the famous Wangfujing and Xidan in previous lives, because the employees of Fanxing Software Company are all wealthy people with strong spending power.
In addition, some industries that cooperate with Fanxing Software Company are also clustered there, and these industries are basically related to high technology, and employee salaries are also not low.
Of course, even if Zhao Yi wants to move Fanxing Software Company out, it is estimated that the Kyoto City Government will not agree, because Fanxing Software Company’s taxes account for 40% of Kyoto’s fiscal revenue.
The tax revenue of Zhao Yi's other company, Hengtong Communications Company, only accounts for about 30% of the fiscal revenue of the Kyoto City Government, while the remaining 30% or so of fiscal revenue comes from taxes paid by other industries in Kyoto.
From here we can see how important Zhao Yi's two industries are to the economic development of Kyoto. This is why Zhao Yi wants to find a better place to build his residence. The Kyoto City Government has no hesitation. I agreed.
It is precisely because I understand that my boss has no resistance at all to the construction of high-quality and beautiful environment headquarters for his own companies, and even condones it to a certain extent.
Just like Tianji Dairy Company, they actually want to build a city of their own directly in the northwest border. This kind of move is actually crazy whether it is domestic or foreign.
Jin Jiming must explain the facts that caused the current situation. This is not because they are unwilling to spend money, but because there are indeed restrictions on objective conditions.
Hearing what Jin Jiming said, Zhao Yi had nothing to say. The money he should pay was not deducted at all. It was difficult to improve the office environment. It was definitely not a question of money.
He didn't think that Jin Jiming would deliberately save money for himself. There was no need for it. After all, Qianxun Technology Company was not his own industry, and the money saved would not go into his own pocket.
Just like other companies under his umbrella, he spends the company's money without mercy. As long as there is no corruption in the process, there will be no problems.
Of course, it is very difficult for them to commit corruption. Not to mention the three major auxiliary agencies stationed in these companies to perform supervisory duties, and the intelligent management systems in the companies are also monitoring them at all times.
Under this kind of strict supervision, it is extremely difficult to get involved, and there is basically no loophole to exploit. This is why Zhao Yi is relatively relieved about corruption issues in his companies.
Of course, apart from not being able to line their own pockets, they have a very high degree of freedom in other aspects. This is why these companies are more bold than others in spending money. Of course, this also requires their revenue capabilities to keep up.
Zhao Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with their "lavish spending". As long as every penny was used in a real way, the benefits would be much better than being a "miser".
The first is that you can increase the size of your company's assets instead of just a bunch of numbers in a bank account. The purpose of business operations is to continuously increase the size of your own assets. Otherwise, what kind of business would you do? It is destined not to be big.
The second thing is that Zhao Yi understands that only by spending money can money create value. Even though these companies spend a lot of money on building their headquarters, the jobs they create are also terrifying.
Around their large headquarters, a business circle with a very prosperous business atmosphere is often formed, or a large-scale industrial chain cluster gathers around their headquarters.
Just like the headquarters of Fanxing Software Company, almost all of my country's software industry and hardware industries related to the software industry are gathered here. Otherwise, it would not be able to drive about 10 times the joint employment scale through commercial operations.
It is precisely where the headquarters of Fanxing Software Company has formed a large-scale software industry cluster that makes Chaoyang District no less prosperous than in previous lives, or even more prosperous than in previous lives.
There is no doubt about the huge industrial influence brought by a leading company. Even Nanjing, where the headquarters of Shenlong Automobile Co., Ltd. is not mentioned much, is now the most famous automobile research and development center in China.
Because the domestic automobile industry is very dependent on Shenlong Automobile Company's technology, and Shenlong Automobile Company has built a complete automobile research and development system in Nanjing, if other companies join in, the research and development costs will be lower.
If the local governments of these car companies did not allow it, and Nanjing could not accommodate so many car companies, it is estimated that they would have moved their car production parts here, which would have reduced their manufacturing costs a lot.
This consensus has basically been formed now. Zhao Yi's companies basically develop and manufacture products with high added value in the industry, and at the same time provide basic industrial support for this industry.
Other companies, whether state-owned or private, have not grown or are not strong enough, so they can only position their products at the mid- to low-end.
Of course, the formation of this tacit understanding does not mean that there will be no changes in the future. There is no such thing at all. For capital, this situation is the result of compromise. After all, the skills are inferior to others, and they still rely on others, so they can only tolerate it for the time being. .
If their strength is greatly improved and they can compete with these giants, they will not hesitate to start fierce competition. After all, no one wants to just be a coolie, and everyone wants to eat the fattest piece of meat.
Zhao Yi doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. Not only does he not suppress it, but he also indulges it to a certain extent, because this can not only improve the vitality of the industry, but also supervise his companies. If they don't work hard, they will be punished. Others caught up.
Of course, as a leading company, you can also compete through unconventional means, but Zhao Yiyi is disgusted with this kind of behavior, which will cause more serious problems.
Doing so will not only not enhance your core competitiveness, but will also cause your company to spend too much energy on these crooked ways and ignore its original advantages.
Therefore, in addition to regularly reporting on business operations, these companies also need to provide an industry development report, both foreign and domestic, so that they can understand the status of the entire industry.
In addition to these companies providing one copy of this industry development report themselves, commercial trading companies and the three major service companies will also provide these reports regularly, which can eliminate the possibility of being concealed.
However, the current situation is that the scale of enterprises in other related industries is not very large. Let alone the private enterprises entering these industries, the scale of state-owned enterprises is still not enough compared to the enterprises under its subsidiaries. The gaps in all aspects are very large. big.
So the current situation is that these state-owned enterprises and private enterprises basically focus on the industrial chain, do what they can, and serve as screws in these industrial chains to jointly prosper the industrial chain.
Therefore, his companies often invest in companies in these industrial chains, so that they can obtain technical support from his companies and develop as quickly as possible.
However, compared with the industry, the industrial chain of Internet companies is much shorter. Not to mention compared with textile and apparel, consumer electronics and other industries, even compared with the gaming industry, the industrial chain is shorter.
Therefore, these Internet companies under his ownership do not feel that they can create a huge industrial chain by following Polaris Game Company's ideas, and they will only become more competitors.
Therefore, the scale of their future headquarters construction will not be very large, and it is impossible to build a huge new city like Polaris Gaming Company to develop and gather industrial clusters.
"Then you can wait. If you want to move to the game city to work, it will take at least a year." Zhao Yi said.
"We can still wait for this amount of time. Although it is a little crowded here, it does not affect our office work, and we have not missed any of the benefits we should have. The employees' emotions are quite stable." Jin Jiming said.
What Zhao Yi is afraid of is that those employees who come from Fanxing Software Company will feel a gap in their hearts. After all, the previous company is much better than this one in every aspect. When working here, it feels like being assigned.
He felt more relieved when Jin Jiming said that the employees were emotionally stable. This may be because these employees have experienced difficult times and are more satisfied with their current life and work. After all, compared to before, they feel like heaven now. The gap is too big.
It is precisely because these satisfactions are so easy to obtain that the turnover rate of his companies is very low. Of course, it is also related to the fact that these companies do not lay off employees easily and the remuneration is relatively generous.
After all, when all aspects are satisfactory, who would just leave their job or start their own business
Although entrepreneurship seems to be a romantic thing, entrepreneurship is not that simple. Entrepreneurship not only depends on their ability, but sometimes also requires a little luck.
Instead of taking risks, it is better to work for others honestly. At least the job is stable and the benefits are good. More importantly, the company will not overly squeeze its employees, and they can basically take care of their own work and life.
This is why Zhao Yi has relatively strict restrictions on employees' working hours. Unless restricted by objective facts, otherwise, it is basically an 8-hour work system, even for employees on the production line.
In order to ensure that employees' 8-hour work system remains unchanged and that they can still complete the tasks assigned by the company, it is necessary to improve employees' work efficiency. Otherwise, in this world, their competitiveness will be greatly reduced and they will not be able to support high salaries. .
This is why he was so touched when he went to Polaris Game Company and saw employees working overtime, because this would not only damage the health of employees, but also make employees hate work in the long run.
The energetic period of a normal person's day is actually very short, and it is impossible to keep oneself in the best state for a long time. People generally have the strongest creativity only when they are in the best state.
If an employee works overtime for a long time and does not feel bored at all, it means that this employee is actually working hard most of the time, or has no creativity at all, and has not exerted his due creativity.
With this kind of hard work, it is better to keep employees in the company during the most energetic time of the day, and leave the rest of the time to their families or self-study to recharge.
And Zhao Yi himself has the ability to achieve this goal. Just like when he saw the overtime situation at Polaris Game Company, he immediately thought about how to improve their work efficiency.
It’s just that Zhao Yi hopes that in the future, this method of improving work efficiency will come more from the spontaneous demands of employees, rather than him thinking and providing technical solutions.
This is why he has repeatedly emphasized that his companies must allow their employees to learn more knowledge, because only by continuous learning can they make greater contributions in this area.
Of course, efficiency is relative, not absolute. It depends on the efficiency of competitors. If the efficiency of competitors is very low, then a relative efficiency advantage can be formed here.
This kind of efficiency competition is more prominent in the field of industrial production. Take Hualong Clothing Company as an example. The reason why they are able to maintain an 8-hour work system for production line employees is that they have introduced semi-automatic production lines.
This makes employees much more efficient than in other countries in the world. If competitors in other countries also improve their efficiency and shorten this gap, then changes must be made here.
In fact, Zhao Yi's companies will establish relatively complete employee suggestions and rewards, so that employees can become more involved in the operation and management of the company.
For example, the semi-automatic production line of Hualong Clothing Company is constantly being improved, and many improvement suggestions actually come from front-line production workers. They will discover many good ideas during actual use.
These good ideas can then be submitted to the R&D department through relevant systems. If the R&D department confirms that the idea is effective, then the company will issue relevant rewards. The amount of the reward is determined based on the value of the technical improvements provided.
Of course, Zhao Yi is not the kind of capitalist who only cares about his own interests. He will not reduce the number of employees without reason to increase his profit margins just because efficiency has improved.
If it really improves efficiency and creates a comparative advantage over competitors, he would rather reduce employee working hours so that he can continue to use more employees to work.
Squeezing out the last copper plate may seem like a good deal in the early stage, but in fact, it becomes more difficult to maintain this advantage later on, because they only treat employees as thoughtless tools rather than intellectual resources that create value.
Zhao Yi's ideal situation is that employees have shorter working hours and more study time, which can provide certain intellectual support for the company's development and produce high added value for the company.
If this ideal is truly realized, then the preliminary construction of his ideal knowledge-based society will be completed. All people will not only be labor tools, but also creative intellectual providers.
Relying solely on manpower to create wealth is actually very limited. In the future, society will inevitably enter the stage of unmanned production, and ordinary manual workers will no longer be needed in factories.
Facts have fully proved that it is impossible for human power to defeat machines. If people want to occupy a place in the future society, they must improve their intellectual level and give full play to their intellectual advantages and creativity.
He is doing this now just to make plans for the near future, because the existence of Golden Finger has made the development of technology in this life much faster than in the previous life.
The emergence of basic artificial intelligence actually means that unmanned production can basically be achieved. However, competitors are currently not strong enough and have not yet reached the point where unmanned production is necessary.
However, the artificial intelligence technology leaked from his hands will definitely spread to the world in the future. He does not think that he can keep these technologies in his hands forever.
When the time comes, when competitors make efforts in this area and adopt unmanned manufacturing models, they will have to keep up, otherwise they will be at a competitive disadvantage.
Therefore, in the future, people without intellectual superiority or creativity will have no choice but to receive government subsidies, eat at home and wait to die.
Only those with intellectual advantages and strong creativity can obtain more social resources. This is the inevitable trend in future society. Cyberpunk is not a fantasy, but a scientific prediction.
In the future, those who receive government subsidies will not do nothing. If they want to receive more subsidies, they must learn more knowledge. In the future, learning will be a job. Only by learning more can you get more. There are many subsidies. (End of chapter)
