Two days later, the Yuanjie Intelligent Control office.
"This is a salary and remuneration plan I have drawn up for Metaverse Intelligent Control based on the local salary standards in Jianing City. If there are no problems, I will post it and recruit people according to this salary."
Meng Qiuyan handed a document in his hand to Lu An. There are only two of them in the company now.
Lu An, who was doing software programming, put down what he was doing, took the file, opened it and read it.
The salary level of programmers in Jianing City is relatively low, with a monthly salary of about 4,000 yuan to 6,000 yuan.
The monthly salary of R&D engineers in some small local technology companies is about 5,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan.
The monthly salary of a technical supervisor is about 6,500 yuan to 8,500 yuan.
Not just in Jianing City, the salary standards of many domestic technology companies in third-tier cities are generally lower than the national average, but higher than some traditional industries. Wage levels vary greatly among different positions, with unit leaders earning the highest wages and those in the commercial and service industries earning the lowest wages.
Meng Qiuyan said: "Salaries in Jianing City are much lower than those in coastal cities. If labor outsourcing is used, personnel costs can be further reduced."
Lu An shook his head and said: "Yuanjie Intelligent Control does not engage in labor outsourcing and dispatch, and it will not do so now or in the future. Although the company is in the start-up stage, the founder must have a clear understanding of the company's value concept from the beginning, which will largely determine the company's future ceiling."
Meng Qiuyan glanced at him and asked curiously: "What value concept?"
After reading the material, Lu An thought for a moment and said: "It is our business goals and the goals pursued by society. The two must be highly consistent. When achieving success on the business road, do not do anything that destroys social value. This is an enterprise that can last for a hundred years. The key. "
"The company we create must have solving social problems as its core goal, at least one of the goals."
"For example, the bionic prosthetic products we want to develop can solve the problems of inconvenience and inability to take care of themselves for tens of millions of disabled people in society, and at the same time achieve sustainable development through commercial operations."
"Such an enterprise has a dual goal orientation. First, the core goal of the enterprise's existence is to solve social problems, and the second is to pursue profits on this basis. This is also a major difference from charities."
If Lu An just wants Metaverse to become a small and medium-sized enterprise, of course there is no need for a grand narrative.
But he obviously wants Metaverse Intelligent Control to run towards a super giant group with world-class influence. In the future, he will break out of the earth and build a space star city, transform the atmosphere of Venus, transform Mars, and a series of epic engineering undertakings that can be recorded in the annals of human history.
That must not avoid the grand narrative and far-reaching pattern.
Leave aside the ambitious goals of breaking out of the Earth, we should focus on the present. In the land of China, large companies must take on great responsibilities in order to go further and longer.
Lu An glanced at Meng Qiuyan and continued in an orderly manner: "In addition, within the company, we must be responsible for employees and implement social responsibilities from within. Therefore, even if the employees of our company are cleaning staff, they must arrange five insurances and one housing fund for them, and refuse to use any labor outsourcing."
Meng Qiuyan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
After a moment, she looked at Lu An and smiled and said: "I support such a big ambition, but I still need to tell you that our company cannot afford it under its current conditions. By your standards, the 5 million in hand is not enough to last for half a year."
Lu An said calmly: "It is enough to last for half a year. Before the company achieves profitability, it will only need to recruit 30 people. The salary will be adjusted. It will be increased by about 15% based on the local industry median in Jianing, and full compensation will be provided." Pay five social insurances and one fund.”
Meng Qiuyan asked: “Are you sure?”
Lu An nodded: “As far as our company’s current situation is concerned, there is no relatively high salary to attract, let alone top-notch ones. We can’t recruit even ordinary talents. The labor cost for 30 people in half a year is about two to three million. I am confident that the company can generate income and have a surplus in half a year.”
Seeing that he has already decided, Meng Qiu. Yan said: "Well, I will do as you said, as long as you know what's going on."
One week after the company was established, people began to apply for jobs one after another. Many of them were attracted by the benefits offered by Metaverse Intelligent Control.
The company's remuneration is 15% higher than the industry median level in Jianing City, which is very attractive to job seekers.
However, some people saw that Yuanjie Intelligent Control was a newly established small workshop, and it was also a company run by a young couple. They felt that it was less reliable than a mom-and-pop shop, so they took a look at it, shook their heads, and left.
On the tenth day since the company was founded, Metaverse Intelligent Control has welcomed five new employees, all of whom are young graduates. However, they have not graduated from double first-class universities, otherwise they would not come to Metaverse Intelligent Control to apply for jobs.
The company's current requirements are not high, as long as it can recruit people, meet the basic requirements, and is willing to work overtime.
In the start-up stage, funds are limited and it is impossible to recruit people on a large scale. Therefore, the manpower is definitely insufficient and overtime is inevitable.
Half a month later, 15 people joined the company one after another, and a total of 20 people were recruited, completing two-thirds of the plan.
The company will stop external recruitment after recruiting about 10 more people. It will not expand further until the company's first product is launched for sale and revenue is generated.
…
The twentieth day since the establishment of the company.
At 10 a.m., Lu An put down his work and held an all-staff meeting.
All 22 employees, including Lu An and Meng Qiuyan, were present. The 20 employees who joined were basically all young people, 17 of whom were recent graduates, and all of whom were under 30 years old.
"Today's meeting is the first plenary meeting since the establishment of the company. I don't like long speeches. In one sentence, the company is only half a year away from bankruptcy."
Lu An looked around at the employees present and said methodically:
"The company's book funds, excluding other costs and expenses, are only enough to pay everyone half a year's salary."
“If we cannot produce products and achieve a profit-generating surplus in half a year, it means that we will face a shortage of funds, and we will not even be able to pay wages by then.”
"So everyone must be mentally prepared, but I also promise you that as long as you survive these six months, everyone's future will be bright, and everyone will not have to look for another job."
"And after half a year, everyone's salary will be increased by 50%. As the company's start-up team and veteran employees, everyone will enjoy stock options and allotment Qualifications."
Lu An paced back and forth in the corridor of the public office area, and said confidently and calmly: "To put it bluntly, in terms of technology development, everyone here is not good at it. Some people may be dissatisfied, but you, Lu An, can do it?"
At this point, Lu An looked around at everyone and smiled: "I'm really good at it."
He pressed the small remote control in his hand, displayed his private email interface on the projection screen in the office area, and then said calmly: "In the past period of time, I have received employment invitations from these companies. All of these companies are big companies that job seekers dream of, including special recruitment from two top universities of science and technology."
What Lu An said just now really made everyone feel a little dissatisfied, and they felt that he was too arrogant.
But at this moment, I saw that the top and second largest companies were competing to recruit me. The senders were indeed official emails from those large companies, as well as special offers from the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Everyone was very surprised and shocked, and secretly called him a good guy.
Who is this boss?
He was actually able to be recruited by two top universities, and there were so many big companies vying to get him, and each offered a higher salary than the other.
The key is that he was unmoved and chose to start his own business.
At this time, those who were a little dissatisfied suddenly felt: You are awesome!
At least none of the employees present are being recruited by so many big companies. It seems that the boss must have something.
