Chapter 419: More and more like a couple

At the general meeting, Zhou Jing first gave a brief summary of the development and achievements of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. since its establishment, and then reiterated the company's concept of "creation and innovation".

"At Chuangzhi Technology, everyone can feel free to show their talents. The company can guarantee that as long as everyone makes achievements, there will be rewards. As the company develops, the welfare benefits and working environment will continue to be improved in the future. It won't be long before the company has its own building, a dedicated R&D department, its own cafeteria, and even a park."

"My goal is to make Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. a world-class technology company, not just a software company, but also a real industry company. We will have an electronics factory by November."

After talking about the past, Zhou Jing planned the development direction of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd.

All the one hundred or so people in the company listened attentively. Key members such as Wang Tao took notes while listening. As senior executives of the company, they not only had to do their jobs well, but also had to understand the boss's intentions at any time. The more ambitious Zhou Jing was, the more motivated Wang Tao, Li Jianwei, Qin Zhengyu and others were.

Everyone was excited after listening to Zhou Jing's plan.

After Zhou Jing finished speaking, he asked Tang Yuan, the executive director and deputy financial manager, to prepare the financial report of the company since its establishment.

"Mr. Zhou is very young but has a sharp vision. He uses BJ's talent advantage to develop IT and hardware in his hometown. Tangdu has many 985 and 211 universities and is not short of talent. In addition, the local government can provide great support. Through Tangdu's hardware technology companies, the local government can be encouraged to support BJ's IT companies."

Qin Zhengyu whispered to Wang Tao, Li Jianwei and others.

"So, resources are one thing for successful people, but brains are equally important."

Wang Tao pointed his finger at his temple and said.

"Yes, there is also a pattern. Mr. Zhou Tangdu's company has established an education foundation to support poor middle and high school students in his hometown."

Li Jianwei said with a smile.

Wang Tao and Qin Zhengyu also know that as the backbone of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., they not only care about Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., but also pay attention to Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. Only by knowing as much as possible about the boss can they better serve the boss.

"The second good news is that two-thirds of the third quarter has passed, and the company has completed its quarterly target one month ahead of schedule. However, this is mainly because the company was established not long ago and has a low starting point. We cannot be satisfied with this."

"By the end of the fourth quarter, our goal is to achieve 300 million in revenue."

"Don't think this goal is out of reach. The company is now bright. Mr. Zhou has brought back a project worth more than 300 million yuan this time. This is the third good news I want to tell you."

Tang Yuan had prepared a PPT in advance, and now he was standing in front of the screen in an OL uniform, giving a report in a natural and generous manner.

"More than three hundred million."

"Mr. Zhou is awesome."

"When my previous company was doing well, we could get projects worth 200 to 300 million yuan a quarter."

"."

The company's target for the second quarter was 80 million, which was completed one month ahead of schedule. When they heard that the target for the next four months was 300 million, the people in the project team were at a loss at first. From 80 million directly to 300 million, even if they worked overtime without eating, drinking or sleeping, the company had to be able to get so many projects. When they heard that the boss brought back a project worth more than 300 million, they were only shocked. According to this development trend, the company was about to take off.

"Don't doubt your own ears. Chuangzhi Technology has set sail under the leadership of President Zhou."

Tang Yuan continued.

After finishing the financial report, Wang Tao made the project report.

After the meeting, everyone returned to their respective posts and started working.

Zhou Jing went to the private office to process documents. Bai Xiyao sent a project supplementary agreement. The project worth more than 50 million yuan needed to add and upgrade some hardware, and the project amount in the supplementary agreement was less than 20 million yuan.

Zhou Jing saw that there was no problem and replied to Bai Xiyao that she could just sign it.

Bai Xiyao: [Huaxing Electronic Technology has a debt of more than 1.5 million, and the company's fixed assets are valued at less than million. The purchase price will not be less than million. In addition, many equipment need to be upgraded, which also requires a considerable amount of money. A rough estimate is that it will cost more than million. Are you sure you want to purchase it?]

Zhou Jing: [If the discussion is almost over, just close it. I have a lot of money from stocks.]

Zhou Jing did not hesitate. Building a new factory by himself would require a lot of money. What is more valuable to Zhou Jing now is time. Building a factory by himself would take at least a year and a half from site selection, land purchase, and construction. Delaying for a year and a half would result in the loss of many opportunities.

Although nearly 200 million yuan may seem like a large sum to acquire and upgrade the production line, it is actually not that scary. The cash that the acquirer needs to pay directly may not exceed 5,000W. The debts can be inherited and assets can be mortgaged. The key issue is how to change the current low efficiency of the electronics factory after the acquisition.

Currently, the main business of this electronics factory is to manufacture electronic digital product components for others. It does not have its own product brand. With the rapid development of digitalization, if this traditional OEM factory of mobile phone components, MP3MP4, low-end cameras, etc. cannot keep up with the development of the times and open up new markets, it is inevitable that it will be eliminated.

With the software and technical support from Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., Zhou Jing is confident that Huaxing Technology Co., Ltd. can quickly transform into an electronics company with its own brand.

As for funds, Zhou Jing now has almost two small goals in his personal account. The stock returns are snowballing every month. Zhou Jing has not withdrawn any money from Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. in the past six months.

Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. has a net profit of more than 70 million yuan so far this year, and Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. has more than 80 million yuan in cash in its account. Both companies have no debt, are in healthy operation, and will not have any problems with their short-term capital chain.

Taking advantage of the current surplus funds, Zhou Jing's goal is to complete the initial layout of software and industry before the end of this year.

Bai Xiyao: [OK, you are the boss and I will listen to you]

Zhou Jing: [You don’t need to touch Bowei Network’s funds. Once you have agreed to pay the deposit, I will come back to take care of the acquisition.]

Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. is working on two major projects and requires sufficient capital chain.

Bai Xiyao: [Okay, is the product design going well? ]

Zhou Jing: [It went smoothly. The structure and appearance design are almost done. The next step is to make samples.]

Bai Xiyao: [I will be able to use the products produced by my own company soon. I am excited just thinking about it]

【.】

Zhou Jing said to himself not to get excited, because in the near future he might be using mobile phones, tablets, computers, and even cars produced by his company.

"Mr. Zhou, this month's salary list."

The financial assistant knocked on the open office door, came in and handed the salary card to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing nodded and checked. The monthly salary expenditure for more than one hundred people was more than six million, including social security and other benefits. Salary was currently the company's largest expense.

Zhou Jing didn't have time to personally verify whether there were any problems with the salary of each employee on the payroll. He just glanced at it and signed it.

Ever since Zhou Jing decided that the company would pay salaries from the 7th to the 9th of each month, a chain reaction has led to an increase in the efficiency of finance, general management, and human resources, and employees' work enthusiasm has also increased.

Tang Yuan prepared a report on salary increase for next month and sent it to Zhou Jing's office.

The recipients of this salary increase are mainly the management and those who have been with the company for three months or more. Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. has been officially established for less than five months. From the initial dozen people to more than 120 people now, less than 50 of them have worked for the company for three months or more. The highest salary increase goes to the backbone of the project team. Wang Tao, Qin Zhengyu, and Li Jianwei will receive 50,000 yuan, administrative and financial positions will receive 500 yuan, and ordinary programmers will receive 1,000 yuan.

The salary increase this time is not small. The welfare benefits of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. are better than those of most of its peers. Chuangzhi Technology is in a stage of rapid development. Zhou Jing did this to calm the employees and make them work hard here, instead of using Chuangzhi Technology as a springboard just because they have made some achievements.

The company now has more than 300 million projects, and changes in project team members will affect progress.

The salary increase plan was finalized, and after Zhou Jing signed it, he allowed Tang Yuan to issue the announcement.

After this salary increase, the monthly salary of Wang Tao, Li Jianwei and Qin Zhengyu will reach 300,000 yuan. In super first-tier cities, this salary is neither low nor high for senior executives at the software engineer level who are top talents in science and engineering. If the monthly salary of Tang Yuan, the executive director and deputy financial manager, reaches this level, it will be very high, and it is not the same for senior executives of large companies.

However, Wang Tao and his two friends did not care about immediate benefits when they came to Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. When Zhou Jing recruited Wang Tao, he said, "If you can create 1 billion yuan of value for the company in a year, I will give you shares." Zhou Jing was not just talking nonsense. If that day really came, it would be worth giving shares to such a veteran. In less than half a year, Zhou Jing increased the monthly salary of Wang Tao and others by 100,000 yuan, which was an affirmation and respect for their work, enough to make them work hard for Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. down to earth.

Zhou Jing got off work at five o'clock. He did not work overtime. After finishing the things at hand, he left the company and went home to accompany Gu Jia.

I have been busy with work during this period and have not been able to spend much time with Gu Jia. I got home at around five o'clock, just in time for dinner. The meal prepared by Gu's mother included three dishes and a soup, including meat, vegetables, hot and cold dishes. It looked very appetizing.

"I can do it myself, Mom, sit down and eat."

Zhou Jing picked up the bowl and started drinking. He first scooped a bowl of soup for Gu Jia, and then drank the freshly squeezed iced watermelon juice himself.

"What did Xiao Zhou eat at the company for lunch?"

Mother Gu sat down and said with a chuckle.

“Fried chicken and rice.”

"If you don't like eating outside, I'll bring you whatever you want to eat."

Mother Gu is not afraid of hard work. Her son-in-law is busy with work, so it is nothing for her to take care of her daughter.

"Normally I'm not busy at noon, but I had a meeting today."

How could Zhou Jing have the nerve to ask his mother-in-law to deliver meals to him?

“The company atmosphere is getting better and better.”

Gu Jia went home to take care of her pregnancy but did not quit the company group. She could learn about company affairs in the group and saw that the employees were very passionate about working overtime.

"Everything will be fine once the salary is paid. Starting from September, we will give a raise to those who have been with the company for three months or more. Administrative positions will get a raise of 500, and project teams will get a raise of 1,000."

Zhou Jing picked up a piece of meat for Gu Jia and said.

“That’s the best hope for ordinary people.”

Gu Jia could understand it. When she was a teacher, she would be happy about the salary increase. Nothing could increase the happiness of office workers more than a salary increase.

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "Starting next year, we can recruit more undergraduates, some of whom have first-class undergraduate degrees. Some jobs can be completed by fresh graduates."

Companies also need to consider cost-effectiveness when hiring. Some jobs do not require high technical skills. Senior programmers can earn more than 20,000 yuan a month, but undergraduate graduates can also complete the job with a monthly salary of only 5,000 or 6,000 yuan. The management company's project team now has several undergraduate graduates this year who are responsible for copying and writing the underlying code.

Managing a company is not only about management, but also about economics.

It is a waste of talent to have a high-level program do low-level work.

After dinner, Zhou Jing wanted to wash the dishes, but Gu's mother refused to let him. Feeling sorry for her son-in-law, Zhou Jing no longer insisted. She thought that it was embarrassing for a woman to be so virtuous as to make her mother-in-law suffer for another month. Then, he could feel justified when his mother came to visit him next month.

Zhou Jing doesn't want to wash the dishes. He accompanies Gu Jia for a walk early in the morning. This is Zhou Jing's daily life. For Zhou Jing, who has long been accustomed to the identity of a dad, this kind of life is quite enjoyable.

“Summer is finally over.”

There was a refreshing breeze blowing outside, and Gu Jia felt the coolness in the early autumn wind. Summer was really not friendly to pregnant women.

"If it's in Tangdu, it will be hot for a while."

Zhou Jing took Gu Jia's arm and unknowingly arrived at the children's playground in the community square.

"Fortunately I didn't go back."

Gu Jia can't travel far for the time being, and will stay in BJ until May next year. Unless there is something special, she won't travel far until her child can walk.

“It’s too troublesome to buy a house here for the time being.”

The biggest problem Zhou Jing and Gu Jia face now is that they cannot settle down in BJ. There are a series of restrictions on buying a house. The housing prices are relatively cheap now, but if we wait, the housing prices will reach a new high every year, and it will be even more exaggerated in BJ.

Zhou Jing seems to be a billionaire now, but it is not enough in BJ. Anyone who owns a house within the Third Ring Road is considered rich even if he lives in other places.

"Don't worry, the same goes for renting a house."

Gu Jia doesn't care about these things, even if she can't settle down in BJ.

Zhou Jing doesn't care about his household registration in the capital, the main thing is that it is too troublesome to rent a house for a long time, and you never know when you will have to move.

Gu's mother came to the community square, took a look around and found the young couple. Looking at the children playing in the children's playground, Gu's mother showed an envious and gratified smile on her face. It won't be long before she can coax her grandson too.

"If you are tired, Xiao Zhou, go back and rest. I will accompany Jia Jia for a while."

Mother Gu looked at the young couple and said.

"Not tired, just some exercise after sitting all day."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

The three of them stayed in the community square for a while. Gu's mother went to the supermarket to buy things, and Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went with her.

When they arrived at the supermarket, Zhou Jing pushed the shopping cart and Gu's mother held Gu Jia's arm.

“Do you like durian?”

Smelling the scent of durian from afar, Gu Jia said to Zhou Jing.

The two have been together for more than a year and have never bought durian.

"It's just like that. I don't dislike the taste of durian as much as people who don't like it say, but I don't love it either."

If one has to choose fruits that he likes and fruits that he dislikes, then durian is on the list of fruits that Zhou Jing dislikes.

"Me too."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"When Jiajia was little, she hated durian candy. She would eat other candies but not durian candy."

Mother Gu said with a smile.

"When I was a kid, I wouldn't eat anything I didn't like. I still don't like it now, but I won't reject it completely just because I don't like it." Gu Jia took the boy's arm and said, "Did you eat durian candy when you were a kid?"

"Neither do I."

Zhou Jing and Gu Jia have been together for a long time and their tastes are becoming more and more similar. This should be considered a sign that they are increasingly looking like a couple.
