Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

The Canton Fair, whose full name is the Import and Export Fair, was founded in the spring of 1957. It is held in Guangdong City in spring and autumn every year, with a total of three sessions in each season.

秋交会一般是10月15日拉开帷幕，当月19日收官第一期；10月23-27日是第二期，10月31日-11月4日是第三期，每期展览时间为5天。

The exhibition items are different in each period, and vehicles and motorcycles are arranged in the first period.

The Spring Fair begins on April 15th.

This year's Spring Fair saw a transaction volume reaching a staggering US$292.3 billion, with the number of buyers alone reaching 200,000.

There are strict requirements for participating in the Canton Fair. Trading companies are required to have an annual export volume of no less than US$150 million, while manufacturing companies must have an export volume of no less than US$75.

The higher the export volume, the greater the probability of applying for a larger and more conspicuous booth.

Future Technology Group does not yet have its own products and currently has no export deals.

According to the rigid requirements, the conditions for attending the meeting cannot be met.

What's more, the time window for exhibition applications has long been closed. Applications for the Autumn Fair usually need to be completed before June of that year, and all companies are rushing to apply.

After seeing the three electric motorcycles, district leader Hua Chaomin asked Hao Qiang if he had any thoughts on participating in the exhibition, saying that a company had just applied to withdraw due to poor management, leaving two booths vacant.

"If I can apply for a booth, of course I would like to participate in the exhibition." Hao Qiang replied with a smile on his face.

After hearing this, Hua Chaomin said readily, "Sure, let's apply and go through the process."

"Okay, thank you for the recommendation." Hao Qiang said gratefully. This is the benefit of having a relationship with the local government.

Fortunately, the Canton Fair is held in Guangdong City, otherwise given the situation of Future Group, we would definitely not be able to participate in the exhibition this year.

After the housewarming ceremony, Hao Qiang immediately instructed Lin Yan, the vice president of Future Motorcycle Company, to start processing the exhibition procedures.

Finally, the company applied for two standard booths in the "Vehicles and Two-Wheelers" section in the first phase.

The cost is not low either. Five days cost more than 60,000 yuan, plus decoration, it will cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

A standard booth is only 9 square meters in size, but the cost is so high.

But there are too many applicants and too few vacancies, and many companies are unable to apply even though they want to.

When Future Group participated in the Canton Fair, Hao Qiang just wanted to show the company to the outside world and did not expect to sell the products.

In other words, most of the 70,000 or 80,000 yuan invested will be wasted.

Tuesday, October 9th.

In the morning, Hao Qiang came to the company and, as usual, opened the website first to check the latest news.

Tencent's share price has actually fallen to HK$8.5. Some time ago, he sold part of it for HK$9.52.

However, this stock will rise in the long run.

Moutai shares saw a slight increase.

Hao Qiang suddenly saw the news about Xiao Ma, which made him a little curious.

At this time, Xiao Ma was already very powerful. In 2000, he became the cover character of Forbes magazine.

Taowang already existed in 2003, and last year, a payment platform was established.

In August this year, Yhoo also invested US$1 billion plus all the assets of Yhoo Huaguo to acquire a stake in Alibaba, acquiring approximately 39% of its shares. The Pony Ma team's stake was reduced to 31.7%, and Soft Music Group remained unchanged at 29.3%.

Currently, Xiao Ma ranks 27th on the domestic rich list with a fortune of 30 billion yuan.

The wealth of this year's 100th richest person has increased to 16 billion yuan.

Last year, it was about 10 billion yuan.

After seeing this news, Hao Qiang felt that he was still very poor.

However, all the rich people on the rich list have accumulated wealth for many years and have been in business for more than several years.

He browsed the online news for a while, and suddenly, the human resources manager Qiu Xueya knocked on the door gently.

"Please come in!"

Qiu Xueya pushed the door open and walked in with a professional smile on her face: "Mr. Hao, I want to talk to you about this year's campus recruitment of college graduates."

The Future Group is still in its early stages of development, has not yet gained fame, and is not very large in scale, so it does face considerable challenges in attracting graduates from prestigious universities.

This year's campus recruitment is mainly aimed at graduates from ordinary second-tier universities.

Upon hearing this, Hao Qiang stood up, left his desk, walked to the sofa and sat down, and motioned Qiu Xueya to sit down as well.

"Well, what are your plans?"

Qiu Xueya replied: “Mr. Hao, our company’s recruitment costs are too high, especially when we rely on headhunters.

I think we can recruit some undergraduate graduates and train them through internal training so that they can be competent for some basic work, which can reduce the workload of middle and senior technical personnel.

At the same time, the injection of fresh blood can bring vitality to the company, more passion, and higher loyalty to the company.

In addition, Yuecheng has a policy that provides subsidies for hiring recent graduates.”

"Sure, that's a good idea. We should recruit some graduates. How many do you plan to recruit?"

"There are 10 people from the catering company, and 10 people from other companies, so 20 people in total. We recruit every year based on the company's development."

Hao Qiang thought for a moment and said, "The job fairs of various universities are about to begin. The official registration will be tomorrow in July, and it's only September now. In ten months, the catering company may have opened more than a dozen stores.

Motorcycles are probably already in mass production, and new energy vehicles may also be in mass production. They require a large number of personnel, so it’s okay to recruit more technicians. If there are projects to be arranged, thirty or forty graduates can be recruited.

It doesn’t have to be limited to universities in the province. 211 universities in other provinces can also try to recruit a few engineering graduate students.”

"Okay, are there any special instructions regarding the starting salary and benefits for graduates?"

Hao Qiang took a sip of tea and asked curiously, "Manager Qiu, what are the starting salaries for undergraduate graduates hired by companies in Yuecheng now?"

"The starting salary for graduates from ordinary second-tier universities is around 1700 yuan, while the starting salary for graduates from key universities is a few hundred yuan higher. For example, the starting salary for graduates from Zhongda University is over 2500 yuan, which is similar to the starting salary for graduates from key universities.

Of course, starting salaries vary greatly depending on your major. "Qiu Xueya knew these figures like the back of her hand. She was very familiar with them.

Yuecheng is a first-tier city, so the starting salary is certainly higher than that of cities in the central and western regions, but lower than that of the commercial capital Shenzhen.

After hearing this, Hao Qiang felt that the starting salary was not low. It was much higher than that of ordinary clerks in catering companies and on par with ordinary workers in motorcycle companies.

Salaries in the catering industry are generally low, but there is a high demand for jobs.

In this era, prices are still relatively low compared to ten years later, so a salary of 2,000 yuan can actually withstand expenses better than 3,000 or 4,000 yuan in a dozen years.

After working for a few years, the salary can usually increase to three to four thousand yuan. If you develop well, it can increase to more than five to six thousand yuan. Some of the worse ones can be on par with the housing prices in Guangdong City.

It’s not like more than ten years later, although wages can increase by 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, the housing prices in Yuecheng have soared to tens of thousands of yuan.

"The starting salary is a bit higher than that of our peers in Guangdong City, but if you meet an outstanding student, it doesn't matter if you give him a few hundred yuan more. The company doesn't need that little money. Don't set the salary framework too rigidly." Hao Qiang instructed and reminded,

“For technical talents, I prefer students with strong hands-on skills and a willingness to work in the workshop, rather than those who can only talk big but cannot endure hardships.

Even if these students lack the ability to express themselves, it is sufficient as long as they have solid professional knowledge and can communicate normally with workers.

After all, different positions require different talents.”

Qiu Xueya nodded to show her understanding: "Okay, I understand."

Hao Qiang added, "Oh, and the gender ratio should also be properly controlled. A good mix of men and women makes work less tiring. We should also try our best to help employees solve their marriage problems."

"Well, this is indeed an issue that is easy to overlook." Qiu Xueya smiled when she heard this.

After the conversation, she left the general manager's office and thought about how to promote Future Technology Group to make it more attractive to graduates.

Our chairman can dance and sing?

Can I watch the chairman sing for free at the annual meeting?

Is he handsome and well-spoken? Can you see your idol often?

Using the chairman of the board as an attraction doesn't seem like a good idea, does it?
