Chapter 430 Team Building
After Zhou Jing expressed his intention to fully invest in the Yulin Amusement Park project, the Deputy Mayor of Yulin and Director of the Investment Promotion Office hoped to finalize the project as soon as possible.

Yulin has a good economy, but it is located in a remote area, has a very poor tourism industry, and a bad investment environment. The riverside amusement park project is estimated to cost more than 13 million yuan. Even if the project is successfully approved and built, it is basically impossible to recover the investment within ten years given the city size of Yulin, so it is not easy to find a real investor.

The director of the investment promotion office called Zhou Jing and said that if the project could be approved earlier, the land could be demarcated and the demolition completed before the arrival of winter this year.

Zhou Jing understood the implication of the director of the Investment Promotion Office. He just wanted to trap Zhou Jing's investment first. As long as the money was in place, everything would be easy. Attracting more than 10 million yuan in investment was no small achievement in Yulin City.

Zhou Jing said straightforwardly that he would return to Yu City for a meeting on September 22. He had been planning to invest in this project anyway, so there was no need for him to delay or drag things out. He wanted to exchange his investment for more resources from Yu City, which would be a win-win deal. As for the amusement park project, Zhou Jing did not hold out any hope and was not prepared to make any profit from it.

The director of the investment promotion office received a definite reply and expressed his warm welcome to Mr. Zhou to return to his hometown to invest and that he would book a hotel to wait for Zhou Jing.

In this case, Zhou Jing must keep the appointment on time and must not let the deputy mayor down.

Zhou Jing couldn't help but wonder which hotel they would book for him, the People's Building or the Crystal International in the High-tech Zone.

After the time was set, Zhou Jing arranged the itinerary in advance, bought the plane tickets, and arranged company matters.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Zhou Jing summoned Tang Yuan and asked the administrative department to prepare Mid-Autumn Festival benefits in advance. The Mid-Autumn Festival benefits include moon cakes and fruits, with each person receiving a box of moon cakes and a box of fruits.

“How much is the budget for each?”

Tang Yuan took notes while listening.

"According to the standards of your previous company, fruits and so on."

When thinking of fruit, Zhou Jing thought of Chen Jiaqian and a college roommate.

Chen Jiaqian's family grows peaches.

One of my college roommates was from Los Angeles and his family was a big Apple customer.

"Sister Tang, you can make up your mind! Then we can organize a team building before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Zhou Jing decided not to buy fruit from acquaintances. Online shopping is not well developed now, and it is not easy to buy a hundred boxes over a long distance.

"Okay, how about setting the team building time on the day before the holiday?"

Tang Yuan wrote it down and asked.

"Sure. We'll have half a day off for team building. We won't be working in the afternoon before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The specific activities will be arranged by Sister Tang."

Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. has not held any activities for more than two months. Many people have not had the opportunity to participate in company group activities since they came to the company. Since it has been decided to organize team building, Zhou Jing should do it openly. They can eat, drink and play during the half-day off. He cannot just ask them to work overtime. It does not make much sense to organize a team building event and then take up the evening time after get off work. Instead, it will make employees resist.

"Ok."

Tang Yuan thought that her boss was really humane. She had never enjoyed something like a team-building holiday during her ten years at the job.

If you take half a day off for team building, the activities are easy to arrange. You can sing or travel in the afternoon and have a meal together in the evening. If more than a hundred people go to KTV, you need to open several large rooms and make reservations in advance.

"Mr. Zhou, should we go to sing on the afternoon of the 18th or go on a scenic tour?"

"Let's decide, the majority must obey the minority."

In this kind of situation, Zhou Jing would not deprive employees of their right to choose.

"it is good."

Tang Yuan left the office to do it.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a three-day holiday. The holiday started on the 19th and it is now the 14th.

During the lunch break, Tang Yuan announced the team-building plan. When the employees learned that they would have half a day off before the Mid-Autumn Festival for team-building, the surprise came suddenly. They all said that President Zhou was too considerate of his subordinates, and their dissatisfaction with the company due to overtime work was swept away. Although overtime is inevitable, there is no company more conscientious than Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. They deeply realized the meaning of the saying "happiness is achieved through contrast."

"It's like having three and a half days off in a row. It's great."

[On the afternoon of the 1th, should we go to KTV or climb the Great Wall? Everyone vote, the one who sings will get 2, and the one who climbs the Great Wall will get ]

Tang Yuan used the lunch break to solicit opinions and posted an announcement in the group.

Girls prefer singing, while boys prefer climbing the Great Wall. The number of boys in the company is absolutely dominant, so the final result is to go to Badaling.

After the activity plan was finalized, Tang Yuan arranged for someone to find a travel agency to charter four buses with 50 to 54 seats.

Including the newly recruited interns, Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. now has more than 180 people and needs at least four large buses.

The Mid-Autumn Festival seems to be both team-building and giving Mid-Autumn Festival benefits to all employees, but in fact it doesn't cost much money. Even if the budget per person is 500 yuan, it will not cost 100,000 yuan. This amount of money is a drizzle for a company with a monthly net profit of tens of millions, and it is even more insignificant for Zhou Jing personally. With the two companies and stocks, Zhou Jing's personal wealth can now increase by 300 to 400 million yuan a month.

Zhou Jing had dinner at the company and asked the human resources department to gather everyone to the company's largest office. After everyone arrived, HR informed Zhou Jing.

Bang bang bang.
As soon as Zhou Jing stepped into the office door, warm applause broke out from inside.

"Everyone, don't be so serious. Those who have seats can sit down, and those who don't can stand however is comfortable."

After Zhou Jing finished speaking, everyone relaxed a lot. Those who had seats sat down, and those who didn't had seats stood casually.

"Since September, the company has had more overtime. I know everyone is working very hard, but we are now at the forefront of a new era. Individuals need to survive, and the company also needs to survive. It is important to improve the company's competitiveness."

"In the next ten years, the entire Internet industry, and even the physical and manufacturing industries, will face a major reshuffle. This is a huge challenge, but also a once-in-a-century opportunity. If we can seize these ten years, we will not only have the hope of becoming one of the top computer technology companies in China, but also have the hope of occupying a place in the world."

“The efforts of the next ten years can be worth a lifetime.”

"I have seen everyone's efforts. I can assure you that Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. will be the company with the highest salary and the best benefits for the same position in the same industry. Starting next year, if any of our peers offer better benefits than Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., please speak up. Our company will surpass them starting from that month."

"clap clap"

The office was once again filled with neat and loud applause. Zhou Jing's words touched everyone's heart. They were all out here to make money. It didn't matter to them whether the company became one of the Fortune 500 in the country or the world. The most important thing was what kind of income the company could give them.

"Of course, high salary and high benefits are based on high efficiency, not showing off wealth. I really don't lack money. I just want to take advantage of my youth and passion to do something big. As long as the company is thriving, I will definitely let everyone prosper with it."

"clap clap"

Zhou Jing's words completely eliminated the employees' dissatisfaction with overtime work. At least they were temporarily motivated. Profit-seeking is human nature. Most people resist overtime work not because they hate it, but because there is an imbalance between their input and reward. If they can see the value of their input, working overtime for two or three hours a day is no big deal.

To make a long story short, Zhou Jing used the team-building before the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday to calm the employees' emotions. The problem of overtime cannot be solved in the short term, and in the future the overtime will only increase, not decrease. It is necessary to calm these old employees of the company.

After calming the employees down, Zhou Jing dismissed everyone and asked them to return to their posts to continue working.

Zhou Jing went to the refrigerator in the lounge and got a bottle of mineral water. He took two sips and returned to the office. Tang Yuan had already prepared the budget for the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits and team building, and asked Zhou Jing to sign it.

The Mid-Autumn Festival benefits per person are more than 70 yuan, and the total budget is more than 10,000 yuan.

The total budget for team building is more than 50,000.

The total budget for the two items was less than 70,000 yuan. Zhou Jing said to Tang Yuan, "Food and drink for the team building scenic area should also be included in the budget. Whatever you want to experience at the scenic spot should also be included in the budget." "Okay, Mr. Zhou."

Tang Yuan felt that this was what a company team building was. The company covered all the expenses for food, drink and entertainment. In comparison, the team building activities organized by previous companies were too shabby.

A team building for more than 180 people would cost less than 100,000 yuan, and Zhou Jing would not blink an eye if it cost less than 200,000 yuan.

The project team was running a test of an information system. Zhou Jing went to check it out in person. There were no problems with the initial run test. The team members responsible for this information system all had expectant expressions on their faces. If the test passed smoothly, the project would be completed within the scheduled deadline, which meant that each team member would receive a bonus of several hundred yuan.

After seeing that the software passed the test, Zhou Jing went to the Starlight Game Studio and handed over a new decompression game that he had planned in the past few days to Qin Zhengyu. It was about saving dogs, a very simple stand-alone game. It was fun to play during leisure time. It was not difficult to develop and could be quickly developed by forming a team of four or five people.

"Boss Zhou, leave it to me! Zhao Yu and Liu Wei from the Happy Elimination Team, Bai Zhipeng and Zhang Wentao from the Rhythm Master Team, the four of you will temporarily form a new team and take a look at this game."

Qin Zhengyu carefully browsed the game plan. This small game called Save the Dog is simple but addictive. The cartoon dog head drawn by the boss is very magical.

Qin Zhengyu can foresee that it won’t be long before Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. will release another game that will be popular on the entire Internet.

“It’s fun to save dogs.”

"This dog head is so cute, was it drawn by Director Qin?"

"Mr. Zhou drew this, and Mr. Zhou planned this game. Everyone should familiarize themselves with it as soon as possible."

"Mr. Zhou is so talented. This game will definitely be a hit after it goes online, and it won't be worse than Rhythm Master."

"."

Watching Qin Zhengyu arrange the new game development work, Zhou Jing went to check on the King's Summoning game group.

The King's Summoning game group accounts for more than two-thirds of the entire Starlight Game Studio's staff. Developing King's Summoning is a very complex and tedious task. The code group works hard, constantly writing and modifying. They are like building a villa, patiently laying the foundation, building the structural frame, and filling the internal organization. The modeling group has painters and computer model designers. The painters paint according to the materials and inspiration, and the model designers are responsible for modeling.

“The original character model should be conservative, but you can be bold in your imagination when designing skins. You can consider modern style, two-dimensional style, cyberpunk style, etc. For example, you can make Guan Yu’s Red Hare into a motorcycle, and Sun Ce’s boat into a dog’s head. When designing skins, you should be unconventional and use your imagination boldly.”

Zhou Jing looked at the model made by the modeling team and said.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

After hearing what the boss said, the modeling team’s thinking became much more open.

After a walk, Zhou Jing returned to the office to check the email sent by Bai Xiyao, printed out two copies of the project contract, signed and stamped them, put them in a file bag, and handed it to the front desk to send back to Tangdu.

When the front desk receives a task, they will go out to do it as soon as possible.

A beautiful receptionist can bring a lot of vitality to a company and is pleasing to anyone's eyes.

After get off work at five o'clock, Zhou Jing stayed in the company until half past five, then went home, had dinner, and walked with Gu Jia as usual.

"I also want to go to the company's team building."

After staying at home for more than two months without going to work, Gu Jia felt like she was about to get hairy all over.

"Let's go to Beihai Park on the weekend."

Gu Jia definitely can’t go to the company’s team-building event now, let alone Badaling.

"Forget it."

Gu Jia said that she was risking her life by traveling with a big belly.

Zhou Jing took Gu Jia's hand, found an empty wooden chair, and helped Gu Jia sit down. "Is the weather cold?"

"It's not cold, this season is just right. March, April, September and October are the most comfortable."

In the evening, there was a cool breeze. Gu Jia was wearing a light green sweater on the upper body and a white gauze skirt underneath. The evening breeze blew, and the gauze skirt brushed against her legs, which was very comfortable.

Gu Jia looked at her clothes and said with a smile: "You have a good taste in buying clothes for girls."

"Beautiful people look good in anything they wear."

When Zhou Jing buys clothes for girls, he only picks out the ones they like. At this moment, everything Gu Jia was wearing was bought by Zhou Jing over the weekend.

"That's not necessarily true. Do you think I'd look good in my mother's clothes?"

"Go back and try again."

Zhou Jing held Gu Jia's hand and placed it on his knee.

"How exactly do you plan to invest in the amusement park project?"

Gu Jia got back to the topic.

"First invest 5 million, and then borrow the rest from a bank in Yushi City."

Zhou Jing is not prepared to invest all the cash. The loan method is more beneficial to both himself and Yu City. Zhou Jing can save a lot of money, while Yu City can earn interest.

Gu Jia nodded. The project was estimated to be worth 15 million. If he had to pay 5 million in cash first, he would have to borrow 10 million. It seemed like a lot of money, but in fact, this kind of loan was easy to get.

With the project and five million yuan in funds as collateral, the bank and relevant units in Yulin City will be happy to do it. The interest on the loan for eight or ten years is also a considerable income. All the relevant units need is someone to bear the long-term costs and debts of the project. With the initial five million yuan "deposit", the government does not worry about the investors withdrawing their investment midway.

September 18th soon arrived. Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. worked as usual in the morning. After lunch, we gathered downstairs of the company. More than 180 people took four buses to the Badaling Scenic Area.

The Mid-Autumn Festival started on the 19th. Other companies were still working on the afternoon of the 18th, but all employees of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. went on holiday early. Judging from the excited state of the company's employees, it can be seen that this team-building meeting was very successful.

Zhou Jing went with the team. Before departure, everyone took a group photo downstairs of the office building. After getting off the bus at the Badaling Scenic Area, they took a group photo. Zhou Jing let everyone go and play freely.

"All food, drink and entertainment items in the scenic area are paid for by the company."

"Mr. Zhou is so handsome."

Amidst the cheers and excitement, the company staff dispersed into groups of three or five. Those who liked hiking hiked together, and those who liked other projects looked for people with similar interests.

Wang Tao, Qin Zhengyu, Li Jianwei, Tang Yuan and others climbed the Great Wall with Zhou Jing.

We planned to gather at the entrance of the scenic spot at 4:30 p.m., and as the time approached, the team returned to the gathering point one after another. After everyone returned, we took a bus back to the company building and went to a nearby hotel that had been booked in advance for a dinner party. More than 180 people sat at 19 tables.

The atmosphere of this team-building event was very good. Zhou Jing did not leave early and only left after the dinner was over.

"Everyone please be safe on the road, and I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

"So does Mr. Zhou."
