Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Oki is a senior sound engineer at the Osaka headquarters of Onkyo Corporation.

As he joined Onkyo since the 1960s, theoretically, based on his seniority, he should already be a veteran employee of the club at this time.

This is indeed the case, but Damu always feels that it is not so smooth at work.

According to the seniority system, he is already a relatively high-ranking existence among the employees of the same company, but only at the top.

His immediate boss, Su Tucun, joined Onkyo just a year before him, but now he is the chief sound engineer.

However, Damu didn't take this so-called chief sound engineer seriously.

Onkyo's split desktop audio ST-55 and 4-speaker stereo combination audio MC2200 launched in the 1960s were enthusiastically sought after by the market.

The launch of these two products has made great contributions to Onkyo's transformation from a single speaker manufacturer to a comprehensive Hi-Fi audio brand.

And Oki, who has participated in the design of these two products and once led one of them, is still just a senior sound engineer.

On the other hand, Tucun, who joined the company for a year first, took the credit for himself without hesitation by relying on his skill in flattering horses and his years of merit over Damu.

So Tucun became the chief, and Oki, who focuses on technology but is relatively clumsy, is still just a senior audio engineer, and he has been doing it for many years.

Originally, according to past habits, this kind of life may continue until Tucun retires or Damu himself retires.

But a recent call from Tokyo caused ripples in Oki's stagnant heart.

"Jinglingling~"

Da Mu, who was full of thoughts, was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone on the table, squeezed his brows, and temporarily put aside his troubles, Da Mu picked up the phone.

"Moses Moses?"

"Oki-san, it's me, Takeshi Inoue."

Hearing the familiar voice and some familiar names, Damu was startled suddenly, he subconsciously raised his head and looked around, he was slightly relieved when he saw that there was no one in the office.

"Inoue-san, why did you call here?"

Ken Inoue had contacted him once before, but it was at home. Like today, it was the first time to call his office directly.

"I'm sorry, Oki-sang please forgive me. However, there is absolutely no need to doubt the sincerity of Baichuan Electric.

As I said before, if Da Musang comes to our Baichuan Electric, the salary will be directly doubled on the current basis.

In addition, the chief engineer of Shirakawa Electric's audio production department is also waiting. "

It was this damn condition again, and Damu's heart beat violently.

When the other party offered the same conditions last time, Omu was so shocked at home that he almost lost his grip on the teacup.

Double the salary directly, what an arrogant condition.

Oki's current annual salary is only about 6 million yen, and it is only because of his seniority in Onkyo that he can get such a high salary.

For an ordinary sound engineer, it would be good to be able to reach two-thirds of his.

But now Kenichi Inoue's asking price is doubled, 12 million.

12 million, which is not even the price for the chief engineer of Onkyo.

According to the information that Oki himself knows, his immediate boss is that Tumura-san, and his annual salary is only about 9 million yen.

What's more, there is the position of chief sound engineer, which I have always dreamed of, but still broods on.

Inoue Ken offered all kinds of attractive conditions, but Oki's heart was still entangled.

He was a bit reluctant to part with Onkyo's years of experience. The more than ten years of service in the company and various benefits that he had managed to get along with were basically equivalent to being wiped out once he switched jobs.

Today's Japanese companies, especially large ones, implement a lifetime employment system in the employment system.

In terms of salary and salary distribution, it is implemented according to the seniority system.

Lifetime employment system, needless to say, almost all enterprises have this kind of employment system.

Even the current Baichuan Electric, although the company's articles of association do not state the lifetime employment system.

But it basically operates in this way, and almost no employees have been fired.

Tradition has too much influence, once Bai Chuanfeng implements a highly competitive elimination system.

Then it will not only cause an uproar among the employees, but also cause instability in the hearts of the people.

Even the local government will trouble Shirakawa Electric. The cost of laying off an employee in Japan at this time is too high.

Therefore, Bai Chuanfeng had no choice but to not make explicit regulations, but in fact, he still operated in accordance with the model of a lifetime employment system.

As for whether it can be changed in the future, it may have to wait for the wave after the bubble.

However, the seniority system that Damu valued was somewhat complicated.

The so-called seniority system is a salary system in which enterprises increase wages for employees year by year according to the age of employees, length of service in the company, education and other conditions.

Theoretically speaking, the older you are, the longer you have worked in the company, the more you will be paid.

However, these salaries are completely determined by the company, and have little to do with the quality of labor of employees, that is, personal credit.

This is why Damu has dominated the development of popular audio, but has always been at the bottom of Tucun.

It is because Tucun joined the company a year earlier than him, and his years of merit are higher than his. Therefore, whether it is salary or position, Damu can only be inferior to Tucun.

It sounds a bit contradictory, because the seniority system restricts Damu's footsteps, but he is reluctant to leave.

In the final analysis, it was because he had invested too much time in Anqiao.

Although the annual merit system restricted his footsteps, the victory lies in stability, and the drought and flood can guarantee the harvest.

For more than ten years, he has stood in front of most people, and with the increase in working age, his annual fixed salary increase is still quite considerable.

And once he leaves Anqiao, the time and cost of more than ten years he has survived will be wiped out in an instant.

In the final analysis, although the seniority system limits the enthusiasm of more capable employees, it is still attractive to most employees.

Just when Oki was struggling because of his seniority and high salary and high job, Ken Inoue, the other party on the phone, added fire at the right time.

"Da Musang, Baichuan Electric has always insisted on people-oriented and implemented the ability-based wage system.

With Da Musang's attainments in the audio field, the annual salary of 12 million is just the beginning.

In addition, if Da Musang can bring a breakthrough in audio technology to Shirakawa Electric.

SIC, a subsidiary of the company, can sign a certain amount of dry stock dividends with Damusang. "

"Dry stock dividends?!" A big wood who couldn't hold back almost exclaimed.

But even Ken Inoue on the other end of the phone could hear the rapid breathing clearly.

"That's right, it's dry stock dividends."

Inoue Ken, who was well aware of the other party's heart, seized the opportunity and began to explain the SIC equity incentives to Oki in detail.

Of course, with Damu's current level, he can only get dividends for dry shares, which is not the same as the shares in the option pool.

Dry stock dividends can generally only be regarded as virtual shares, which are set up by SIC to attract talents.

It only has dividend rights, no decision-making power, and no participation in the company's operations.

When resigning, the dry stock will automatically disappear, and will no longer participate in the company's subsequent dividends.

The shares in the option pool are real, except that they cannot be freely traded according to the agreement.

It has the same rights that other shareholders can exercise.

But even so, when Da Mu heard the words "dry stock dividends", he was still so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Although it is a dry stock, it is at least a stock.

Think about his treatment in Onkyo, and think about whether other companies will offer him such conditions as dry shares?

The answer is obvious, part-time workers are always part-time workers.

To some extent, it would be a qualitative leap for Damu if he could get dividends from dry shares.

And the other party also promised that as long as he can continue to bring breakthroughs in audio technology to Baichuan Electric in the future, then the talent option pool is not out of consideration.

Oki is still very confident about his audio technology ability.

Therefore, the promised benefits are no longer extravagant hopes, but tangible.

"Inoue-san, please let me think about it for two days. No matter what the result is, I will definitely give you an answer in two days."

In terms of conditions, Damu has nothing to dissatisfy.

His only concern now is what kind of company this company named Shirakawa Electric is.

In fact, he has heard of the name of Baichuan Electric, and their Walkmans are very popular recently.

But Onkyo makes audio speakers, although they are in the same field as each other.

However, if you strictly follow the product segmentation, not all of them are peers.

Therefore, Oki has only heard a little about Shirakawa Electric, and needs to find out more specific information from friends in the industry.

"No problem, since that's the case, then I'll wait for the good news from Damusang."

Putting down the phone in his hand, Damu was stunned for a long time before he let out a long sigh.

And at the stall where Damu was distracted, a middle-aged man with a belly full of hair and thin hair pushed open the door of Damu's office.

"Oki, the president has decided that the next-generation tape recorder will be a dual-card high-speed tape recorder.

This is a brand new recorder, automatic continuous playback, high-speed dubbing, and simultaneous mixing are all in your charge.

You must come up with a design plan within half a year, understand? "

After Damu regained his senses, his expression changed.

As the chief engineer, this is clearly a task entrusted to you by the president, why is it all up to me now.

Oki also participated in the next-generation product seminar, and he also has his own tasks.

Now Tucun directly throws the research and development task to Damu. He is relaxed, but Damu is difficult.

"Tsuchura-san, I think..."

"You don't need to explain to me, and I don't want you to think, I just want me to think. The time is half a year, otherwise you understand the year-end bonus assessment."

Before Damu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tucun waving his hand. That indifferent expression showed that all this had long been commonplace.

With this move again, Da Mu's chest rose and fell sharply.

As the chief engineer, Tucun has the qualifications to rate the year-end bonuses of other engineers.

Relying on this, Tucun has made things difficult for Damu all these years. This is not the first time that tasks have been allocated and credit has been claimed.

"Tucun!" Da Mu stared straight at him.

Tucun, who was called by his surname, was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, "Da Mu, how dare you..."

"Shut up!" It was Damu who interrupted him mercilessly this time.

"Listen, there is a sentence that I have held back for a long time, and I must tell you today."

Saying that, Oki took a deep breath, "Tucun! You are a shameless, incompetent, ignorant, useless bastard!"

"You...you...you" Tucun raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Damu, his sparse hair seemed to stand on end.

"F*U*C*K!" Oki, who didn't think it was enough, even uttered a sentence in English.

He just felt happy all over, ignoring the stunned Tucun.

He also ignored the colleagues who were pointing and pointing outside the office, and strutted out of the office.

thanks for your support!
