Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

After Cao Yang finished talking to Zeng Tingting, Mi Ying immediately took him to another conference room for a meeting.

Sometimes, the more senior you are, the busier you are.

For example, Cao Yang's current schedule is basically full every day.

The situation among the bosses of each branch is similar.

"Mr. Cao, today I mainly want to report to you on the personnel situation of the five major groups and the next plan."

As the actual head of the Human Resources Committee, Liu Youmei does not simply manage a certain company, but needs to manage the personnel situation of the five major groups.

Although the five major groups are nominally independent, they are actually managed to a certain extent through various committees.

Only when development reaches a certain level in the future will the major groups be allowed to completely operate and develop independently.

"Is there anything special about the personnel?"

Liu Youmei really didn't say anything to Cao Yang in advance about this meeting.

After all, this is just an internal meeting of the company, and Liu Youmei should want to report anything in the conference room.

"This month, the number of employees in our group officially exceeded 200,000."

"And this is based on the fact that a large number of Honor mobile phone products are entrusted to BYD for processing."

"Most of our 200,000 people are researchers and technicians, and the number is still increasing."

"With the increase in production capacity of the affiliated factories of each group, it is estimated that Nanshan Automobile Group will have more than 200,000 employees in the future."

Although there are some companies in China with millions of employees, companies like Nanshan Group with a large number of high-tech talents are still very rare.

Therefore, Liu Youmei felt that this was also a publicity point and could be put to good use.

"There are already 200,000 people?"

Cao Yang immediately thought of the scene in 1999. At that time, there were only two to three hundred old, weak, sick and disabled in the entire factory, and they had no fighting capacity at all.

Nowadays, a large number of factories are using automated equipment, and there are even unmanned factories, but the number of employees of the group has exceeded 200,000.

One can imagine how big this change is.

"Yes, although the Nanshan Group has been split into five groups, outsiders still habitually call us the Nanshan Group."

“I think having so many employees can be considered a publicity point.”

"We can even consider publishing our salary expenditures last year so that more talents can proactively consider working in our group."

Various companies in the Nanshan system are basically in a state of polarization in recruiting people.

On the one hand, countless people want to join every day, but most of these people are not what the company needs.

On the other hand, various companies in the Nanshan Group have been recruiting some special talents through headhunting. It can be said that the demand for talents has never stopped.

However, these two needs may not necessarily match completely.

Real talents don't have to worry about work, and many companies want them.

At this time, if we can attract a group of talents that Nanshan Department needs to actively submit their resumes or join the company through referrals from colleagues, it will be considered as a contribution to the development of the group.

"Okay, just sort it out and send it to me."

"I will post a Weibo directly on my personal Weibo when the time comes."

As a big V with more than 50 million fans, the content on Cao Yang’s personal Weibo has greater influence than most companies’ official Weibo.

Moreover, the Weibo content posted by Cao Yang can easily become a hot search topic.

This invisible publicity effect is immeasurable.

"No problem, I've already arranged for someone to prepare it, and I'll send it to your email later."

With a smile on her face, Liu Youmei continued: "Currently, Nanshan Semiconductor is constantly expanding its production capacity, and Honor Mobile's demand for talents is also continuing to increase. We have determined a joint talent training plan with 20 domestic universities."

"The Ministry of Human Resources is planning to hold a joint ceremony with these universities to increase the impact of the plan."

The Nanshan Department needs too many talents, and pure social recruitment will definitely not be able to fully meet the demand.

Therefore, recruiting fresh graduates and cultivating talents yourself is a path that must be taken.

For this reason, there is even a special training building in Nanshan Industrial Park, where people receive various trainings every day.

"No problem. When the time comes, you and Mi Ying will check the time, and I will join in."

Cao Yang has always been relatively active in cooperating with universities.

Although domestic university education has been criticized for having various problems, it has indeed contributed to the development of China's economy.

In some special fields, there are still many experienced professors.

There is no harm in working with them more.

Besides, we need to recruit a large number of fresh graduates anyway. Cooperating with universities in advance for training will also allow these fresh graduates to get into work faster after entering Nanshan-based companies.

Invisibly, this can be regarded as saving the company's costs.

…

[From 1999 to 2012, we have been faltering along the way. Now the number of employees has exceeded 200,000. Thank you for your continued support. We will continue to work hard! 】

A simple Weibo sentence, combined with a few pictures, attracted a lot of attention at once.

"Does the Nanshan Department only have 200,000 employees? I thought it had already exceeded 500,000!"

"I heard that BYD has more than 100,000 workers working on Honor mobile phones. The 200,000 employees announced by Mr. Cao seems to have squeezed out a lot of water."

"The factories in the Nanshan system should have the highest degree of automation in the country, otherwise the number of employees would definitely be more than 200,000."

"I heard that the salaries in the Nanshan Department are very high, with the average annual salary exceeding 200,000 yuan. The salary of these 200,000 people is more than 40 billion yuan a year."

"The products produced by Nanshan must be of the highest quality. Come on, Mr. Cao!"

"I'm really looking forward to the launch of Venus 9. The sea of ​​stars is waiting for you to explore."

"Do you want anyone else? Take me in too."

"I regret not going to Xingchen Automobile in the first place."

"I heard that in the KTV and foot massage shops over there in Panyu, the employees from the Nanshan department are all big customers..."

…

Various comments from netizens soon put Cao Yang's Weibo post on the hot search list.

To a certain extent, Cao Yang was able to show off his muscles.

"Mr. Xu, I feel that there are only 200,000 employees in the Nanshan Department. This number seems to be insufficient."

"Our company now has 150,000 employees."

Even Shida apparently felt that there were more than 200,000 people in the Nanshan system.

The revenue scale is much higher than that of Warwick, but the number of employees is not much, which is obviously a bit abnormal.

"I heard before that when Nanshan Group held an internal summary meeting, the sales of Jaguar Land Rover were not included in the statistics, and the information of Nanshan Hongqi and other joint ventures was not included in the statistics."

"I estimate that the 200,000 employees they mentioned this time should be the number of employees in companies completely controlled by Mr. Cao."

"Joint ventures such as Nanshan Hongqi, Yangcheng Nanshan Commercial Vehicle, BYD Nanshan Semiconductor, etc. should not be included."

"Not all overseas employees may be included in the statistics."

Xu Jun actually knows the Nanshan Group relatively well and has had many contacts with it.

Even the cooperation between the two parties is now getting deeper and deeper.

"Of course, one characteristic of all enterprises in the Nanshan Group is that they are frantically promoting improvements in factory automation."

"Nanshan Equipment and Nanshan Robot have made a lot of contributions in this regard."

"For the same factory, their number of workers may be only a fraction of others."

After finishing speaking, Xu Jun added his own point of view.

"Indeed, I visited their unmanned factory some time ago. It is said that they already have several similar factories inside."

"Some factories have achieved a high degree of automation even if they are not completely unmanned."

"When I walked in and visited, I felt that this didn't look like a factory of a Chinese company, but rather like a factory in developed countries such as Japan and the United States."

Lian Zhitian still admires the factory automation construction of Nanshan Department.

In the whole of China, no company does better than them.

After all, if we promote the improvement of automation before 2012, the cost advantages may not be particularly obvious.

Especially before 2008, when China's labor force had not improved significantly, the advantages of robots were not obvious.

Of course, due to the emergence of Nanshan robots, the costs of various welding machines and handling robots have dropped a lot. Coupled with the increase in labor costs, most factories are now actively promoting plans to replace workers with robots.

Because this solution has begun to have cost benefits.

Even if there is no profit that year, there will still be profit after a few years.

As a result, the pace of China's industrial development has actually changed to a certain extent.

After all, the improvement of factory automation will lead to the improvement of industrialization level to a certain extent.

"The Nanshan Department has built so many benchmark factories. Now it is constantly accepting visits from outside companies and has also increased relevant publicity efforts."

"I feel that in the future, the level of automation in domestic factories will increase faster than everyone thinks."

"The most obvious one is the car factory."

"Since Xingchen Automobile built a highly automated production plant a few years ago, many subsequent car companies have built factories based on Xingchen Automobile."

"BMW's Tiexi factory, Mercedes-Benz's new factory, and GM's new factory in Shanghai are all said to have directly used Xingchen Motors' factory construction plans, and the level of automation is higher than the factories at their headquarters."

When Xu Jun said this, Lian Zhidian couldn't help but nodded.

The role of benchmarks is still very huge.

After letting everyone see how powerful it is, in order not to fall behind, they must catch up.

If you keep up with me, your level will naturally improve.

Otherwise, industries with sufficient competition will develop much faster than monopoly industries.

"Automobile factories, semiconductor factories, mobile phone factories, I feel that the influence of the Nanshan System is increasing day by day."

"I heard that BYD has built a huge OEM factory specifically for Honor mobile phones. In the future, the OEM business of Honor mobile phones will be separated from that of other companies."

Warwick mobile phones are also manufactured by BYD, so Lian Shitian is relatively familiar with the situation at BYD.

After all, although everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement, it involves some information that is not very sensitive. If you want to keep it completely confidential, it will definitely be very difficult.

Even when our employees sit together and communicate, some information will be revealed unintentionally.

This is why some more domineering companies will require suppliers not to supply products to similar customers.

Or at least not in the same factory.

"In the future, our mobile phone business may inevitably compete with Honor mobile phones. I don't know how they will react."

Although Huawei mobile phones are now mid-range products priced under 3,000 yuan, Xu Jun is definitely not willing to continue to be mid-range products.

For things like mobile phones, high-end products have the highest profits.

Xu Jun obviously knew this very well.

How much can material costs account for?

How much is the difference in selling price?

Although he did some calculations, Xu Jun could actually calculate the approximate profit rate of various products of Honor mobile phones.

And this is not not unknown, but a shock.

People make more money selling one HONOR3 than I make selling ten mobile phones.

After seeing this situation, it is strange that Warwick is not moved.

The same is true for other companies. Everyone wants to make some breakthroughs in high-end aspects.

"The Chinese market is so big, Honor Mobile probably has no intention of monopolizing this market, and it is unlikely that it will monopolize this market."

"After all, consumers' needs are diversified, and there are relatively few choices for Honor phones."

"As long as we can carry out differentiated marketing, we can eventually live in peace."

"Even if there is competition, we can start with Samsung and Apple phones overseas and seize their market share first."

Even though Shida was a little worried, he felt that everything was still within control.

Nanshan Group is not so domineering in doing things.

Especially when it comes to dealing with domestic colleagues, unless you directly copy others, Nanshan Group will still let you live.

"I hope so, otherwise I really don't have much confidence in the face of Mr. Cao's competition."

Xu Jun is also a very proud person.

But facing a proud man like Cao Yang, he obviously couldn't be proud anymore.

There is no way, the gap between our enterprise levels is already there.

Even if you don't admit it, there's nothing you can do about it.

Just like semiconductors, although Warwick has been engaged in it for many years, it has only made some achievements in chip design.

Are you looking at Nanshan Group?

Not only has the chip design been developed, but the chip production business has also been very good.

What is even more impressive is that they have also completed the chip production equipment.

This is something with a particularly huge impact.

If Nanshan Equipment had not completed the chip production equipment, it probably would not have been sanctioned by the United States.

After all, the chip industry is a taboo in the United States. Now that China has broken through it, those people must be furious.

…

Cao Yang's random Weibo post had such a big impact.

As a company with more employees than Nanshan Group, BYD Group is naturally a little jealous.

"Mr. Wang, I just confirmed the latest information. The company now has a total of 360,000 employees."

"Among them, the number of employees in the OEM business department accounts for more than half, reaching 220,000."

"The number of relevant personnel in other factories of ours is also about 140,000."

"I wonder if we can promote it well and let everyone know that BYD is also a big company."

"This should be good for improving the company's brand influence and the attractiveness of the talent market."

As BYD's assistant to the general manager and head of the OEM business department, Zhong Qiang's interests are naturally closely related to BYD.

Seeing that Cao Yang's Weibo post with more than 200,000 employees caused such a huge response, he must have been a little jealous.

BYD has more employees.

You can also turn your eyes.

"Although we have more employees than the Nanshan Department, the average salary of employees is less than half of others. Wouldn't it be very good if we promoted this on a large scale?"

Wang Fu asked back a little tangledly.

BYD's profit margin is definitely incomparable to that of Nanshan Group.

There is no way for any domestic industrial enterprise to compare its profits with those of the Nanshan Group.

After all, they are taking the route of relying on technology to get orders, which is not a path that ordinary companies can take.

"As a listed company, we will have relevant data in our annual statements."

"Even if we don't publicize it, interested people can still see the relevant data."

"Even some competitors with ulterior motives may use this information to do their tricks."

Zhong Qiang felt that Wang Fu's worries were unnecessary.

How many companies in China can compare with Nanshan’s in terms of benefits and benefits?

Even if Warwick and Penguin are in the same city, their treatment can only be compared with that of some companies in the Nanshan Group.

If you really want to compare it with other high-income divisions, it's not easy to compare.

After all, like Nanshan Semiconductor, many employees are poached from overseas, and the treatment of those people is the same as overseas.

In 2012, the overall treatment level in China was still quite different from that in some overseas markets.

This gap will take a certain amount of time to slowly close.

"You are right. Once the financial report is released, all the information will be known."

"It's just that if this part is not specially highlighted for publicity, most people will not notice it."

Wang Fu is not a person who refuses to listen to advice.

What Zhong Qiang said made sense, so he had to accept it.

Soon, Wang Fu updated a piece of content on his official Weibo and BYD's official Weibo.

[1995~2012, BYD will soon celebrate its coming-of-age ceremony. Thanks to the support of consumers and customers along the way, the number of employees now exceeds 360,000, and we will continue to work hard! 】

The content on Weibo is somewhat similar to what Cao Yang posted.

Sharp-eyed netizens naturally discovered it quickly.

"I already have 360,000 people, right? That's awesome!"

"Digo is awesome, I didn't expect to feed so many people."

"Who said that independent brand car companies can't do it? Just because they support so many employees, they are worthy of support."

"It's amazing. It actually has hundreds of thousands more employees than the Nanshan Department!"

"I checked and found that of the 360,000 employees, 220,000 are OEM-related employees. Strictly speaking, these people cannot be considered BYD employees, right?"

"Upstairs, even if we take away these 220,000 people, BYD will still have 140,000 people, which is already pretty good."

"Indeed, there are not many companies of this scale in the country."

"BYD's cars, I think, are getting better and better, and they are worth buying."

"It seems that our F3 has also made some contribution to BYD's 360,000 employees."

"Supporting China's independent brand car companies means supporting our own employment!"

…

Various comments also made BYD popular.

In the hot searches on Weibo, although this topic is not more popular than Nanshan System, it is still ranked relatively high.

The publicity effect achieved is worth at least tens of millions.

Seeing that both Nanshan Group and BYD became popular because of such a Weibo post, other companies were naturally not far behind.

[1953~2012, as the first automobile company in China, Spring City Automobile Group will go through a period of sixty years this year. Along the way, thanks to the support and care of superior leaders and consumers, now the number of employees has exceeded 90,000, and we will continue to work hard! 】

[1969~2012, Xifeng Automobile Group has passed its forties. Thanks to the support of consumers and customers along the way, the number of employees now exceeds 80,000, and we will continue to work hard! 】

[1987~2012, this year is the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Warwick. Thanks to the support of consumers and customers along the way, the number of employees now exceeds 160,000, and we will continue to work hard! 】

[From 1997 to 2012, Geely Automobile has been in the automobile industry for 15 years. During these 15 years, we have started from scratch and continued to break through ourselves. Now the number of employees has exceeded 80,000, and we will continue to work hard! 】

…

BYD's following the trend seems to have opened a special key for everyone, and they have posted similar Weibo posts on their official Weibo accounts.

This style of Weibo suddenly became the target of imitation by major companies.

The publicity effect is indeed good, allowing Chinese netizens to have a deeper understanding of China's independent brand enterprises.

After all, behind this Weibo, there is often an introduction to the development history of the respective company.

Invisibly, it can be regarded as a wave of presence.

However, independent brands can have such a sense of presence, which is obviously not easy for joint venture car companies to publish.

For example, if you simply post about the situation of Modu Public since its establishment, it doesn’t seem to have a particularly big impact.

But there seems to be something wrong with the situation you posted about Volkswagen.

The situation of General Motors, Ford Motor, Toyota Motor, Honda Motor and other car companies is actually similar.

So we can only watch as Chery, Geely, BYD and other car companies follow the pace of the Nanshan Group and show off on the Internet.

But they could only stare from the side.

That mood was definitely not much better.

However, Cao Yang definitely doesn't care about these things so much.

Start by yourself and leave the rest to others.

But he flew directly to Chang'an City, and another big event happened within the company.
