Life 1984

Gong Jie listened to Li Yunhai and made an appointment to negotiate with the other party first.

This time, Gong Jie directly admitted her purpose and revealed Li Yunhai's identity.

These two people from SAIC are named Wu Yongli and Wang Jinwen.

These two people were carefully selected by Gong Jie through introductions from the internal human resources department.

If you want to poach people, the best way is to find young and middle-aged employees who are talented but frustrated.

Wu Yongli and Wang Jinwen happen to be such people.

Speaking of Wu Yongli, he is a third-generation employee of the automobile company.

Wu Yongli's grandfather and father both worked in automobile companies.

His father once participated in the "hand-made" project of my country's first generation of automobiles.

You read that right, my country’s first generation of cars were purely handmade!

If a luxury car of a foreign brand is hand-made, it is definitely synonymous with high-end and classy.

However, if someone says that our country's cars are hand-made, there will definitely be people who laugh.

The reason is that foreign car manufacturing technology is very mature and advanced.

They do hand-crafted crafts because they want to create high-quality cars that can be sold at a high price of millions or even tens of millions.

At that time, the foundation of my country's automobile industry was very weak, almost non-existent!

In this case, we have no choice but to make it by hand.

Having a production line and not using it, and not using it, are two different things.

Like Sihai Group, the automobile company was founded in 1984.

The history of the automobile factory is actually very long, dating back to 1915, which was the early automobile assembly plant.

In the mid-to-late 50s, automobile assembly plants moved from automobile repair to complete vehicle production.

In September 1958, the automobile assembly plant successfully trial-produced its first car, named Phoenix.

In order to build the sedan, the automobile assembly plant borrowed a Plymouth and a Warsaw M20 from the Jinjiang fleet. The body was based on the style of the Plymouth, the chassis used the Warsaw M20's load-bearing body structure, and the power system also used the Nanjing Automobile Plant's M20 four-cylinder 50-horsepower engine.

At that time, the manufacturing level of the automobile assembly plant was very low, there were no imported production lines, and the cars were made by hand by the old repairmen in the factory using a hammer.

Back then, Wu Yongli's father participated in the hand-made construction of this classic car.

Wu Yongli has loved cars since he was a child. While other children of his age were still playing in the mud, he, under the guidance of his father, had already entered the factory to assemble and disassemble auto parts.

He inherited his father's skills and later worked hard to be admitted to Jiaotong University to study mechanics.

After graduation, he got his dream and worked in a car factory.

An employee named Liu Wenhai who joined the factory at the same time as Wu Yongli was promoted quickly and soon became the workshop director, while Wu Yongli was still just a mechanical engineer.

Liu Wenhai was jealous of his talent and suppressed Wu Yongli everywhere.

Once, Liu Wenhai pointed out the shortcomings in a process and severely criticized the workers on duty.

Wu Yongli happened to be present. He carefully checked the process flow and said to Liu Wenhai that you were wrong and there was no problem with the process.

With just this one sentence, he completely offended Liu Wenhai.

Liu Wenhai was the workshop director at the time, and his superior. Even if the superior was wrong, you couldn't say he was wrong in public!
His words made Liu Wenhai lose face.

Liu Wenhai was very angry and the consequences were serious.

Later, Liu Wenhai was promoted again, while Wu Yongli has been working as a workshop engineer until now.

No matter how good his skills are or how skilled he is at his job, no matter how much praise and rewards he receives, he just can't get promoted.

Some people said that Wu Yongli’s several requests for promotion were rejected by Liu Wenhai.

It can be said that as long as Liu Wenhai is still in position, Wu Yongli will never be promoted in his life and will be suppressed by Liu Wenhai.

When he heard Gong Jie say that Sihai Group was going to build cars and Li Yunhai wanted to poach him, he couldn't help but remain silent.

He has worked in the company for more than ten years.

To say there is no emotion would be a lie.

But when it comes to how deep his feelings are, he feels uncomfortable.

After being suppressed for so many years, he has already passed the age of thirty and is almost reaching the age of forty!

How many thirty years do we have in our life?
There are only two normal people!

His life, his years, and his ideals will all be wasted in the company until he grows old.

Now that he suddenly has an opportunity to make a better choice, he is struggling over whether to change jobs.

Gong Jie invited these two people to meet separately.

When it comes to job-hopping, it must be as secretive as possible before you officially leave, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

If a good thing is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, it can turn into a bad thing.

Seeing Wu Yongli was silent, Gong Jie said, "Mr. Wu, you should have heard of Sihai Group, right? You should also know Li Yunhai."

Wu Yongli nodded and said, "Of course! I have also bought computers and printers from Sihai Group. These machines are very easy to use. The ones I bought are still in use now. They are completely indestructible. They are absolutely indestructible!"

Gong Jie smiled and said: "Sihai Group produces gold quality products! The first generation of products produced are still in good condition today."

Wu Yongli said: "I have to say, Sihai Group is really a pity! How great would it be if Mr. Li hadn't sold it back then? Has he taken back Sihai Group now?"

Gong Jie said: "Yes, he took it back this year."

Wu Yongli said: "Why doesn't he continue to work hard in the electronics industry? I think the electronics industry has great potential! The future prospects are very bright."

Gong Jie said: "Mr. Li has not given up the electronics industry. You know about Sanjiang Company, right?"

Wu Yongli said: "Sanjiang Company in Gusu? I've heard of it. They are now making electronic products."

Gong Jie said: "Yes, Sanjiang Company is authorized by President Li!"

She was reserved in her words and did not say that Sanjiang Company belonged to Li Yunhai, but only said that he authorized it.

It is something that many people know that Li Yunhai authorized Sanjiang Company to produce electronic products. When Sihai Group was initially controlled by state-owned capital, a lawsuit was filed over this issue, which became known to everyone.

Wu Yongli said, "Oh, yes, I know about this. Mr. Li wants to make cars now?" Gong Jie said, "Yes, Mr. Li needs a lot of talents, and he asked me to help find talents in this field. I met you through a friend's introduction. Mr. Wu, if you know Sihai Group and Li Yunhai, you will definitely think that it is absolutely a wise move for you to go to Sihai Group!"

Wu Yongli nodded slowly but said nothing.

Gong Jie said, "Mr. Wu, please forgive me for being frank. You have been in the company for nearly 20 years, but you are still only an engineer. I am afraid that you will not have many opportunities for promotion in the future. You still have 20 years to retire. In these 20 years, what position can you be promoted to, and how much money can you earn?"

Wu Yongli was stunned. He really hadn't thought about the future, let alone something as long as 20 years.

After hearing what Gong Jie said, he couldn't help but secretly calculate in his heart.

The result left him frustrated.

Because of a wrong word he said, he offended someone and it has been difficult for him to get promoted in his life.

He knew in his heart that as long as that leader was still in office, it would be almost impossible for him to get promoted.

Now his son has grown up and is about to graduate from college. He also wants to work in this company and asks for his advice. However, he said to his son: Maybe you can have the same future if you change to another company?

From this, it can be seen that he had already been completely disappointed and planned to give up completely.

As for how much money can be earned in 20 years?
His current salary is of course much higher than other companies, and higher than the local average wage, but not much higher!

He silently calculated that in the next twenty years, including the expected annual salary increase, he might only earn more than one million!

Gong Jie waited for a while until the other party finished his mental calculations, then said, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Li told me that he is currently in need of a production manager. If you can go over and help, he will definitely arrange for you to be the production manager. I'm sure you also know that Sihai Group's salary has always been the highest in the industry, and other companies can't even catch up."

Wu Yongli couldn't help but ask, "Production manager? How much money can you get every month?"

Gong Jie smiled and said, "The executives of Sihai Group are paid on an annual basis. I asked Mr. Li, and he can give you an annual salary of 20! This does not include other benefits, such as villas, private cars, drivers, equity incentives, year-end dividends, etc. In a year, a production manager should earn no less than 50!"

In 1997, a manager of a domestic enterprise had an annual salary of 20 yuan and an income of 50 yuan!
If it is a joint venture, this annual salary is not particularly high, but it is definitely not low.

If it is a domestic enterprise, whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, this annual salary is definitely a high salary!
Wu Yongli couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.

If you switch to Sihai Group and work for two or three years, you can earn the same amount of money as I earn in twenty years working now!
This gap is quite huge!

People work, of course, to earn money, and passion and interest come second.

Wu Yongli was moved!

Gong Jie saw what he was thinking and said, "Mr. Wu, if you don't trust me, Mr. Li will come over in a few days and talk to you in person. He will definitely fulfill the conditions he promised."

Wu Yongli said: "Mr. Li is a dragon among men, a multi-billionaire, so of course I can trust his words."

What he meant was that he did have some doubts. What Gong Jie said was just a promise and might not necessarily come true.

Gong Jie smiled slightly: "How about this, the day after tomorrow, Mr. Li will come here. Then, I will ask you out again, and you can talk to Mr. Li face to face. It doesn't matter anyway! If the negotiation can be successful, of course it will be great. If it fails, you will not lose anything, and you can still go back to your original unit to work. Mr. Wu, please give yourself a chance to change your life! Okay?"

Wu Yongli thought for a moment and said, "Okay! When Mr. Li arrives, let me know and I'll come out and talk to him."

Next, Gong Jie invited Wang Jinwen.

Wang Jinwen is the head of the R&D department. If we have to rank him, he should be considered the eighth in command, that is, he ranks eighth in the management level.

Moreover, he was selected into the management team because of his excellent technical skills.

In fact, he is mainly in charge of the company's technological research and development affairs.

Therein lies the paradox for a company.

People who really understand technology can't make much decisions.

The person who can make decisions does not know much about technical work.

How much say does the eighth-in-command of a department have in the department?
This time when Gong Jie asked him to meet, she also used the same conversation style, first pointing out Wang Jinwen's embarrassing situation, and then discussing his possible promotion and how much money he could earn in the future?
Then, he used the conditions promised by Li Yunhai to attract Wang Jinwen.

In Sihai Group, the department that Li Yunhai attaches the most importance to is the R&D department.

The revenue of the R&D department also far exceeds that of other departments.

As long as new products can be developed, Li Yunhai will give generous financial rewards without hesitation.

After listening to Gong Jie's words, Wang Jinwen said without hesitation: "I am willing to talk to Mr. Li! Speaking of which, Mr. Li is still my idol! I once had the idea and impulse to start a business, but for various reasons, I delayed it. I have always lived in my comfort zone, reluctant to leave, and afraid to leave. I really want to talk to Mr. Li face to face, even if it is just to listen to him talk and talk about his entrepreneurial experience, I will gain a lot."

Both of them were successfully persuaded by Gong Jie.

After Gong Jie returned home, she called Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai decided to fly to Shanghai tomorrow.

That night, Zhu Lin also called and told Li Yunhai that there were a few people in the north who were willing to negotiate.

Plant the plane tree to attract the phoenix.

Li Yunhai used his past success to create a siphon effect, attracting outstanding talents from all walks of life.

He could only talk to these people separately.

So he decided to go to Gong Jie first.

The next day, Li Yunhai took a plane with his secretary Amy.

After arriving, Li Yunhai and Amy checked into the hotel.

Because Amy was there, Li Yunhai couldn't go on a date with Gong Jie in public.

Moreover, their relationship has already matured and they don't care about being together day and night.

Gong Jie came to the hotel and met Li Yunhai.

The two men discussed and decided to meet with Wu Yongli first and then with Wang Jinwen.

After finishing the discussion, Gong Jie winked at Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai understood, said something to Amy, and then came out with Gong Jie.

After leaving the hotel, Gong Jie whispered, "Both of them are good, but they also have their shortcomings. Wu Yongli is a bit lustful, and Wang Jinwen is very greedy. You have to think carefully and can't just hire them based on their advantages."

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "Greed and lust are the nature of vulgar people. What's there to be entangled about? If a person has no hobbies, is neither greedy for money nor likes women, then what kind of person do you think he is? You don't think he is a saint, do you?"

Gong Jie smiled and said, "Your opinion is really different from mine! I thought that the talent you like must be a decent person!"

Li Yunhai said: "What is an upright person? A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. This is an upright person. A gentleman likes a beautiful lady. This is also an upright person. As long as they use legitimate means to get what they want, then it's fine!"

Gong Jie exclaimed, thinking that what Li Yunhai said made sense. (End of this chapter)
