Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.
Chapter 496: Prelude to Global Chip Market Fluctuation
Every year, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are supposed to be a time for families to reunite and celebrate the holidays.
But for Hao Qiang, it is the busiest day of the year.
From morning to night, his cell phone almost never stopped ringing, as if it had become a part of his body.
The calls came one after another, and Hao Qiang's right ear was almost pressed against the phone for the entire day.
He had to juggle various greetings and blessings as quickly as possible. The callers were either company executives or important suppliers, or heads of friendly competitors or leaders of government departments.
Of course, there are also endless streams of relatives and friends.
It’s more like being busy with social interactions than celebrating the New Year.
There is a hidden meaning behind every phone call, and every greeting requires a careful response.
You need to know when to speak and when to express yourself, and understand the hidden meaning in your blessings.
This seemingly lively festival is more like a social battle without gunpowder for him, testing his wisdom, patience and tact.
As night fell, when others had already started toasting and celebrating, Hao Qiang was still constantly responding to the endless stream of calls.
This may be the fate of successful people.
His family knew he was busy and didn't say anything.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hao Qiang took the time to give red envelopes to all the nannies and bodyguards in the manor.
At the same time, he wished all employees a happy New Year on the company's official website.
The company's performance is good, and during the Chinese New Year, it has already given employees sufficient year-end bonuses and holiday allowances.
……
Nanyang City, Henan Province.
Zhang Lin is an ordinary employee of Future Automobile Company and just turned 25 this year.
As an operator who graduated from a junior college, he worked in the company for three years and received a year-end bonus of 13,000 yuan, plus a holiday allowance of 2,000 yuan.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, Zhang Lin boarded the train back home.
The scenery passing by outside the car window gradually changed from tall buildings to fields and villages, and his mood became complicated.
Everything in my hometown is so familiar, yet it seems a little strange because of my departure.
The familiar faces made Zhang Lin feel very cordial, but the greetings and inquiries from the villagers made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Linzi, where are you working now?"
“What are the salary and benefits like?”
These seemingly ordinary greetings secretly hide the villagers' expectations and curiosity about him, a young man who goes out to explore the world.
In particular, at the high school reunion before the New Year, more classmates wanted to use his answers to measure their own situations and see who was doing better.
Li Jian, a classmate who works for a foreign company, spoke up with a tone of undisguised pride: "Our company's year-end bonus is quite good. I received two months' salary, a total of 10,000 yuan."
Li Jian is a university graduate and has been working for three years.
His words undoubtedly brought some pressure to many students present. After all, in the eyes of many students, undergraduate students always have more prospects than junior college students.
"Li Jian, your company is awesome, giving out so many year-end bonuses." A classmate praised sincerely.
Another classmate added: "Li Jian's salary is already high, more than 5,000 yuan a month, while I make less than 3,000 yuan."
In 2011, a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan was already a very good income, not to mention a high salary of more than 5,000 yuan.
Listening to his classmates' discussion, Zhang Lin fell into deep thought.
He knew that his year-end bonus was more than Li Jian's, but he didn't want to show off.
There's no way. In the company, he is just a small figure, so it's not easy to show off.
The recognition from the company leaders and his continuous improvement in technology are what he should be proud of.
"Zhang Lin, don't you work at Future Technology Group?" A classmate who had a good relationship with Zhang Lin suddenly asked Zhang Lin.
This sentence instantly shocked the students present.
"Zhang Lin, so you work at Future Technology Group?"
"Is it so easy to get into Future Technology Group? Don't they say they only want graduates from 985 universities?"
“Maybe he’s an outsourced worker.”
Zhang Lin heard his classmates talking about this, so he had to explain: "I am just an operator in the car company's workshop. The technical staff are indeed graduates from 985 universities, and most of them have master's and doctoral degrees.
Our company doesn't outsource workers; Hao Qiang doesn't do that."
When everyone heard Zhang Lin admit it, they instantly became enthusiastic about him and asked him questions.
"Awesome, Zhang Lin! Turns out you're an employee of Future Technology Group."
Li Jian asked knowingly, "Are the workers in Future Technology Group's workshops good?"
"Haha, Li Jian, you just don't understand.
Not to mention factory workers, I wonder how many undergraduates would love to work as cleaners at Future Technology Group, given the good pay and benefits. Housing prices in Shenzhen are over 20,000 yuan, but people can afford them for just a few thousand yuan, and their children can attend the best schools. These educational resources aren't something you can buy with ordinary money.
Besides, the operators in future automobile companies will definitely be different from those in ordinary automobile factories.
It is fully automated and requires technical knowledge.
Many operators in automobile OEMs also have undergraduate degrees.
Am I right, Zhang Lin?"
"Well, about the same. I was just lucky to get into the company. There are so many talented people in the company." Zhang Lin smiled and replied, "Everyone's situation is different, so it's meaningless to compare.
What matters is that we all work hard towards our dreams.”
This sentence eased the originally tense atmosphere.
As a high-profile technology company, Future Technology Group's salary and benefits and corporate culture have long become the focus of heated discussion in society.
The company's mysterious veil and unique employment mechanism always arouse endless imagination and curiosity from the outside world.
At Zhang Lin’s high school reunion, the topic of Future Technology Group naturally became the hottest topic of discussion.
The students were full of curiosity about this legendary company and asked Zhang Lin a variety of questions:
"Zhang Lin, do you see Hao Qiang often? I heard that he is very handsome in person." A female classmate's eyes flashed with gossip.
"Zhang Lin, I heard that people outside can't buy tickets for your concert even if they spend tens of thousands of dollars," another classmate said enviously.
"How can I become an employee of Future Technology Group?" someone asked urgently.
Facing the students' barrage of questions, Zhang Lin remained calm and composed, speaking eloquently:
"As for Mr. Hao, to be honest, I've only seen him two or three times in the whole year.
One was at the annual meeting and the other was in the company cafeteria.
As for the concert, there is actually no such thing as tickets. Admission depends entirely on facial recognition.
The company has clearly stipulated that audience seats cannot be transferred. Apart from specially invited guests, only company employees can enter, not even family members of employees.
I don’t know if there will be an annual meeting next year.”
Zhang Lin paused and continued to explain: "To be honest, our company's current recruitment policy is already very mature.
Except for a very small number of scarce positions, most of the positions are trained through campus recruitment.
Even ordinary workers are selected from campus and systematically trained.
I'm just a small fry and have no say in the company.
The salary is just slightly higher than that of peers, but it is mainly in terms of welfare benefits. Other companies really cannot be compared. The boss is really willing to spend money, unlike some business bosses who are stingy. Of course, this is also closely related to the company's performance.
Many of the corporate regulations our company has developed have become industry standards.”
After hearing this explanation, the excitement on some students' faces gradually turned into disappointment.
They were originally full of fantasies about joining the Future Technology Group, but now they realize that this opportunity is not easy to come by, and everyone's envy of Zhang Lin remains undiminished.
It is a great honor to be a part of such a futuristic technology company.
In fact, similar scenes are playing out across the country.
Countless employees of Future Technology Group experienced similar inquiries and inquiries when they returned home for the Chinese New Year.
Some came out of pure curiosity, some had career aspirations, and some couldn't hide their jealousy.
This mysterious and charming technology company seems to have become a symbol of an era.
It not only represents a company, but also symbolizes an emerging professional ideal and social expectation.
Ordinary employees like Zhang Lin have become the bridge connecting this legendary world and the general public.
In this era of highly transparent information and full of imagination, Future Technology Group continues to refresh people's imagination of modern enterprises with its unique corporate culture.
The Spring Festival always passes quickly, and the eighth day of the New Year is here.
The Future Technology Group park is bustling again, and ordinary employees like Zhang Lin have returned to work.
They are sought after by countless relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, but when they return to the company, they are completely insignificant.
At the opening meeting on the first day of work, the grassroots leaders gave everyone a thought lesson and conveyed the instructions of the superiors: "Brothers, it's great to celebrate the New Year, especially as employees of Future Technology Group, we have received attention from countless relatives and friends.
I don’t care whether you have said anything you shouldn’t have, but from now on, you must always be vigilant about the company’s confidentiality system.
I reminded everyone before I went home for the Chinese New Year, and I’m reminding you again now: don’t be fired for confidentiality reasons.
Secondly, everyone should focus on their work as soon as possible.
Our production tasks this year are very heavy. If there is a problem in one production link and we stop working for a day, the loss will be tens of millions of yuan.
We have finally achieved the current good situation. I hope everyone will cherish it, work hard, live up to the chairman's expectations, and be worthy of the benefits the company provides us.
Future Technology Group is also our home.
Okay, I have finished conveying the instructions from my superiors. Brothers, let’s get to work.
In 2012, the group achieved its revenue target of RMB 400 billion!
Hao Qiang, the soul of the group, also began to devote himself to work.
He needs to participate in scientific research projects such as 7nmEBL lithography machine, 8134 automotive chip, mobile processor White Tiger 835, supercomputer Future No. 1, flying car, solid-state lithium metal battery, etc.
Theoretically, the EBL lithography machine can manufacture process chips within 1 nanometer, but this is only in theory and there are many conditions that need to be met.
The technology is available, but the technical level of some components does not meet the requirements.
At present, some components still need to be optimized to reach the 7-nanometer level.
This project is not starting from scratch. It already has the foundation of a 14nm EBL lithography machine. Now, after several months of optimization, the project progress has reached more than 98% and is not far from completion.
Once the company is able to mass-produce 7-nanometer chips, the chip technology level can reach the chip technology level around 2022.
The advent of mass production of 7-nanometer chips and the significant price reduction and popularization of 14-nanometer chips will definitely shake up the global semiconductor market.
