Reborn Tycoon Rise

Xu Zhi and others walked around the entire production line. The 1970s was the golden age of industrial PLC development. With microprocessors, electrical engineering had been qualitatively improved.

This is why York's production line is difficult to sell even at a discount, because this production line still uses a traditional relay control method, which is not highly intelligent, and the requirements for the number of laborers do not meet the interests of European and American manufacturers.

However, this is the best choice for Xiangjiang. The production line is cheap and the maintenance cost is low (PLC was considered a cutting-edge technology in that era, and it was not yet popular, so maintenance may have to be done by the manufacturer). As for the extra labor, For most of Asia, it’s simply not a problem!

Xu Zhi asked: "Have the trial production samples come out?"

Zhang Xiaowu said: "50 samples have been made and are now being tested in the laboratory. Would Xu Sheng want to go and have a look?"

"Okay!" Xu Zhi nodded.

The laboratory is located in the northwest corner of the workshop. When Xu Zhi and others came in, Cao Lizhong was conducting various tests with his men.

Seeing the boss come in, Cao Lizhong put down what he was doing, walked over and greeted: "Xu Sheng."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Old Cao, how is the quality of these refrigerators?"

Cao Lizhong pointed to both sides and said: "Xu Sheng, the one on the left is the York brand refrigerator, and the ones on the right are developed by Midea ourselves."

After half a year of research, and with some help from York engineers, Midea has developed its own refrigerator.

Xu Zhi made a comparison. In terms of appearance, Midea's refrigerator was much smaller. However, this was only a matter of refrigerator capacity and product positioning. It cannot be said that a larger refrigerator means better quality.

Xu Zhi asked again: "How is the quality of the two refrigerators? Is there any difference?"

Cao Lizhong said: "Compared with York refrigerators, ours is much inferior. The capacity of York refrigerators is half larger than ours, but the power consumption is similar, the freezing speed is much faster, and the noise is much quieter!"

Xu Zhi walked over, took a look, and said, "It doesn't matter. Let's slowly modify and improve it according to the situation! The main market for this refrigerator for the time being is Southeast Asia. Let's hone our technology!"

…

After coming out of the factory, Xu Zhi took a look at the entire factory in the car. This was his first large-scale factory after his rebirth. Although it was only a drop in the bucket of his assets now, the significance was still very significant, and he was still a little excited. some.

After returning to Midea's headquarters, He Guoyuan also reported on the recent company's status.

"Xu Sheng, this is the company's sales situation in recent months." He Guoyuan handed over a document in which the table listed the sales situation of all games and the scale of future orders.

This is a big table. The first four are Tank Battle, Pac-Man, Cube and Snake. Starting from the fifth row, the data starts to plummet, but there are still some achievements.

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "It seems that it is not a bad idea to let employees develop their own solutions to get commissions!"

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "Yes, after all, this is about your own pocket, so of course you have to pay attention."

Tank Battle and Pac-Man were developed half a year ago. Seeing that the developers had nothing to do, Xu Zhi discussed it with He Guoyuan and decided to let them divide themselves into several teams to develop the game themselves. The quality of the game was acceptable. If the game is approved by the company's top management, it will also be made into an arcade game and sold, and the entire team can get a share of the sales.

The share of revenue is not high, and of course the company gets the lion's share, but if a popular game is released, the revenue can be doubled immediately, which is a great encouragement to them.

Under the temptation of money, most people are very motivated. Although they have not developed any good games, they have also brought a lot of income to the company.

Xu Zhi said: "This model is good, but I think this group of people is still too relaxed. From now on, it will be stipulated that a review will be conducted every year. The entire team with the lowest efficiency will be directly demoted, and the bonus share will be reduced. The specific proportion is for you." The management will discuss it later.”

He Guoyuan said: "This seems a bit too strict!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "It's not strict. I didn't say that it would be good to just fire this team. In the future, our company will recruit R\u0026D personnel on a large scale. We will even have branches in the United States and Japan. There are only a few games that I can provide." , do we have to keep raising so many people in vain?

As for how to arrange it, we have few people now, but we will have more people in the future. There are about 10 people in a team. Choose a team leader. He has the discretion to recruit people or lay off people. Anyway, in addition to the minimum basic salary for this team, , everyone shares the profits of self-created games, and the team leader has the right to expel those who do not do well.

There will also be certain requirements for the team leader. If the entire team does the worst, the team leader will leave immediately! "

He Guoyuan fell silent after listening, and after a while he said: "Xu Sheng, if you do this, the efficiency will indeed improve a lot, but I'm worried that the pressure on the employees will be too great."

Xu Zhi said: "What bullshit pressure? This is called wolf culture. In the entire Xiangjiang, except for a few companies in the financial industry, our benefits at Midea are already pretty good, not to mention that we are still in the manufacturing industry. Since I provide such good According to the conditions, employees must also meet sufficient requirements. This requirement is very simple. Just make money for the company. Those who are capable can earn more. Those who are not capable will be embarrassed!"

In the past year or so, Midea's arcade machines have been too successful, and corruption has begun to appear within the company. Although the game ideas are all the boss Xu Zhi's, many developers take credit for their own contributions.

When the company decided to group R\u0026D personnel into separate R\u0026D teams and give profit sharing, many people actually had the idea of ​​making games such as Tank Battle, thinking that they should get dividends from these games.

After being rejected by the company, some people became overstaffed and did not care enough about their team's game development.

In fact, these people think they are smart. He Guoyuan has noticed it a long time ago. He also reported to Xu Zhi in the United States some time ago. However, because things in the United States are more important, Xu Zhi has no time to pay attention to these people. Now he has returned to Xiangjiang. , this kind of people are the first ones to take action, and he wants to use these people to rectify the company's atmosphere.

At present, Midea Electronics' games are all relying on the prophetic benefits brought by the founder Xu Zhi. The profits are indeed huge, but in the long run, this is not conducive to the development of the company. If it is just a small company, a creative person is very important. Big, but when the company develops and grows, what is more important is the concerted efforts of countless people.

In the future, after the decline of arcade machines and the rise of home game consoles and computer games, people's choices will increase a lot, because one customer can buy many game cartridges at the same time, which is completely different from the market model of arcade machines.

In this case, if a game software company hopes to develop vigorously, it must develop a large number of games. Xu Zhi can copy some classic games from the previous life, but the company must also have a large number of ordinary games as reserves, and must update them every year. This means A large number of game designers are needed, and the current implementation of wolf culture competition is to prepare for the future home game console market.
