Chapter 1078 Karaoke
"I think it's good..." Duan Yun was still a little moved when he heard this. Old people like Zhao Xuewu still have a sense of dedication in their bones. Even if they are in a private enterprise now, they still have this kind of energy, but as The boss of a private enterprise must also put himself in the shoes of his employees, so he continued: "I think this is good. If you plan to go home during the Spring Festival, I will reimburse you for the air tickets and give you 500 yuan each." If you plan to celebrate the New Year in Shenzhen, I will convert the air ticket money and festival subsidies into cash for you, and you can discuss it later.”

"This...that's great." Zhao Xuewu nodded.

In fact, Zhao Xuewu was also very moved. At the beginning, he agreed to join Duan Yun's company in Shenzhen because he wanted to make use of his waste heat and contribute to the electronics industry. This is actually a bit ridiculous. They naturally hoped to earn more. Money, especially for old people like them, who have many sons and daughters, and always want to leave them more property.

Duan Yun's treatment for them is indeed very high. Over the past year, in addition to the basic salary, various incentives and subsidies have been added together. Almost everyone has received a small 1 yuan, which is almost equal to their nearly 10 years' salary. The pension is summed up. Besides, the food here is good and the accommodation is good. He is passionate at work, and his old colleagues play chess and chat with him in his spare time. Life is not boring, so he is willing to stay in Shenzhen even if he can’t go home during the Chinese New Year. new year.

"There is one more thing I want to tell Master Zhao, which is what I mentioned to you before, I plan to give you five retired professors a house for each person. I currently have houses in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, both of which are about 5 square meters The commercial housing is ready to be provided for you to live in..." Duan Yun said solemnly.

"Your house is too expensive. I have heard about it. Now your house costs 7 to [-] yuan, and you may not be able to buy it. The company has given me so much salary and bonus. If so..." Zhao Xuewu said repeatedly.

In fact, Zhao Xuewu is very satisfied with the current company's treatment. Now that he is really not short of money, he really feels a little bit sorry for Duan Yun's commercial housing.

If it was placed in later generations, no one would refuse Duan Yun's gift, but in this day and age, many elderly people have some traditional thinking, and they are also a little uneasy about receiving such a big favor for no reason.

"There is a condition for me to give you the house, that is, you must sign a lifetime employment contract with me. If you stay and work in our factory, I will transfer the house to you, but if you leave halfway, then I can only take the house back..." Duan Yun said.

The reason why Duan Yun suddenly brought up the matter of gifting a house at this time is mainly because the development of Walkman products has reached the final stage. At present, only Duan Yun and a few other old professors in the entire technology research and development center have fully mastered the technical equipment of the entire Walkman production line. In principle, in order to prevent them from being poached by other companies at high prices, Duan Yun must use greater interests to firmly tie them to his company.

Besides, Duan Yun still has 20 sets of commercial houses in his hands. Now the real estate in Shenzhen has started to rise. The year before last, he spent about 5 yuan on each house, but this year these houses have increased by more than 20%, and one set is more than 6 yuan. , and there is still a price but no market, and you can't buy it at all.

Duan Yun doesn't plan to make money from real estate now, because the current electronics factory is very profitable, and the rate of making money is much higher than the growth rate of real estate. Of course, if there is a chance later, he doesn't mind investing some money in the stock market or real estate .

"Then I will definitely not leave our company. Our company's environment is so good, and I would not leave even if I was given gold and silver." Zhao Xuewu hastily expressed his loyalty to Duan Yun at this time.

"In that case, I will show you the house tomorrow. You are the chief engineer of our factory and the old professor who came to Shenzhen first, so this time I will let you choose the house first, and the others will come later." Duan Yun said with a smile .

"Then...do we need to sign the contract first?" Zhao Xuewu asked.

At this time, Zhao Xuewu was really moved. He has three sons. Although they are all married, the younger son’s unit has not been allocated a house so far. If he can get a house for him in Shenzhen, it will be a big deal. good thing.

For the elderly like them, in fact, they don't care about the quality of food, clothing, housing and transportation anymore, and they are more concerned about future generations.

"After you have selected the house, it is not too late for us to sign the contract." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "In addition, you don't have to worry about the house decoration. I will arrange a special decoration company to decorate the house when the time comes. Well, you can just go in and live in it."

"Okay, okay, that's great." Zhao Xuewu said gratefully.

"In the past few days, Mr. Zhao has worked hard to polish our products. You have to remember that the products produced by our electronics factory in the future must become the light of domestic products. The brand of Tianyin Electronics is accumulated through product after product. Get up, don't smash the signboard because of some small mistakes." Duan Yun settled down again.

"Okay, when I go back, I will organize a meeting and design a better product."

"Then you are busy." Duan Yun signaled that he could leave.

After seeing Zhao Xuewu leave, Duan Yun lit another cigarette and started to think.

According to the company's idea of ​​producing a generation, designing a generation, and looking forward to a generation, Duan Yun must start to formulate this year's research and development plan.

Next, Duan Yun turned his attention to the video recorder.

In Duan Yun’s childhood memories, the karaoke video recorder is definitely a product that is still fresh in his memory. Walking in the streets and alleys in the evening in the 90s, he could often see many people surrounding a karaoke video recorder, which cost 10 yuan. Three songs, people tried so enthusiastically that the voice-deaf roar could be heard everywhere.

It is a living memory of an era. At the same time, it can be seen how popular this kind of video recorder was in China at that time. In that era when entertainment activities were relatively scarce, many families with slightly better conditions were equipped with this kind of machine. Brings so much joy.

In fact, karaoke became popular in Japan at the end of the 70s, and even became one of Japan's three major inventions to the world (instant noodle drying method, Walkman, karaoke, OK). Until the early 90s, It was only in China that karaoke machines were introduced. They first appeared in some dance halls in BJ, and then quickly became popular all over the country.

As the Walkman is about to hit the market, Duan Yun will also put on the agenda the project of developing a karaoke video recorder.
