Life 1984

This day happens to be the weekend.

After 1995, the country implemented a two-day weekend system.

Of course, not every office worker can enjoy the so-called two-day weekend.

The vast majority of workers work the 996 shift, working six days a week, 12 hours a day, and earn less than 1997 yuan. In , many people could only get a salary of less than yuan.

At noon, Li Yunhai brought Gong Jie and Amy and made an appointment with Wu Yongli to meet at the old restaurant.

Wu Yongli was not late, and even arrived at the old hotel five minutes earlier than Li Yunhai and the others.

The Old Restaurant is the most famous restaurant near Yu Garden and has an excellent reputation.

As soon as Li Yunhai got off the car, Wu Yongli recognized him and walked quickly towards him.

"Hello, Mr. Li! I'm Wu Yongli from SAIC, nice to meet you!"

Li Yunhai stretched out his big hand, shook the other person's hand, and laughed, "Hello, Mr. Wu! I've heard a lot about you!"

Wu Yongli smiled and said, "Boss Li, I should be the one saying this, right? I have heard so much about you, it's like thunder in my ears!"

Gong Jie smiled and said, "You two are destined to meet, you hit it off right away!"

Li Yunhai said: "Gong Jie said it well! I look forward to Wu Gong, just like Liu Bei looked forward to Kong Ming!"

Wu Yongli straightened his back and said, "Mr. Li, you've said something that makes me feel very embarrassed! When Mr. Li was running Sihai Group, I was a loyal user of your products. Mr. Li treats industrial products with great care! Our electronics industry can achieve such good results today, thanks to Mr. Li! Otherwise, it would take at least another 20 years for our electronics industry to take off."

Li Yunhai thought to himself, you have a pretty good eye!
Twenty years later, my country's electronics industry may not have developed to its current level.

Because Li Yunhai was reborn, when he was reborn, my country's lithography machines and chips were still in the exploratory stage, and there was no ability to independently build lithography machines.

In just over ten years, Li Yunhai has advanced my country's electronics industry by at least several decades!
Wu Yongli said respectfully: "Mr. Li, I think it is a great blessing for our country's automobile industry that you are now entering the automobile industry! With business elites like you at the helm, our country's automobile industry will surely be able to achieve rapid development like the electronics industry!"

Li Yunhai felt that this person not only had skills but also eloquence.

Eloquence is one of the most important abilities for a person to survive in society.

Many times, eloquence is even more important than technology and business.

Wu Yongli is good at speaking, which shows that he has high IQ and EQ.

Everyone walked into the restaurant chatting and laughing.

Gong Jie booked a private room in advance.

Led by the waiter, everyone came to the private room on the second floor.

Li Yunhai introduced Amy to Wu Yongli: "This is my secretary Amy."

Amy smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Wu. I'm Mr. Li's secretary. You can call me Amy."

Wu Yongli was surprised and asked, "Miss Amy is a foreigner, right? She speaks Mandarin so fluently. If you only listen to her speaking, you can't tell she is a foreigner at all."

Amy smiled and said, "I was born in Italy, but I am Chinese now. I have lived in China for more than ten years."

Wu Yongli gave a thumbs up: "Great! Chinese are great! Others go abroad, but I think our country is the best! Our country is vast and rich in resources, with a myriad of landscapes, including plateaus and plains, snow towns and water towns, the setting sun in the desert and the long tides in the Qiantang River. Which country has such a rich geography as ours? Even if there is, it doesn't have such a long history and civilization as ours!"

Amy nodded and said, "Yes, I love my motherland! I am proud to be Chinese!"

Everyone has the same values ​​and goals, and the more they talk, the more they get along.

Li Yunhai was not in a hurry to talk about business, but drank while chatting about family matters. Through the conversation, he got to know Wu Yongli's character, personality, and knowledge.

Through the conversation, Li Yunhai felt that Wu Yongli was a very good person, knowledgeable, flexible, mature and steady. He not only understood automobile industry technology, but also literature, history and philosophy. He was indeed a talented student who graduated from a prestigious university.

Li Yunhai changed the topic and talked about the development of my country's automobile industry.

Wu Yongli knows everything about cars.

Li Yunhai sighed, "Now, there are relatively few domestically produced automobile technologies, and the sales of domestically produced cars are also low. The best-selling ones are joint venture cars. I think one day, the world's cars will be made by Chinese people! That will be the time for us to be proud!"

Wu Yongli said: "Joint venture cars are actually assembled and produced by several large factories in our country. Take SAIC as an example. We cooperated with Volkswagen of Germany to establish the Sino-German joint venture company of SAIC Volkswagen in 1985. We have gradually mastered the relevant production technology. The cars we produce ourselves are not worse than joint venture cars, but the sales volume is not increasing! But this is not surprising. It takes decades or even hundreds of years for them to build a brand. How can we, a newly-born brand, compete with them?"

Li Yunhai said: "There is a saying that what we are doing now is to trade market for technology. I have to say that this move is very wise! Once our domestic technology matures, we will catch up with foreign brands!"

Wu Yongli said: "Mr. Li, you are an ambitious and ideal person! It is a good thing that someone like you can enter the automotive industry! I also hope that one day, I can realize the ideal goal of the world's car Chinese man!"

Li Yunhai said: "Car manufacturing requires a large number of outstanding talents. What I lack most now is talents like Engineer Wu!"

Wu Yongli laughed at himself and said, "Talent? There are many talents like me in FAW! I can't even get a rank in the company!"

When the time was right, Li Yunhai put down his cup and said, "Mr. Wu, how come a talent like you is not valued at SAIC?"

These words touched Wu Yongli's sore spot. He let out a long sigh and then told him about how he had offended his leader.

Li Yunhai was surprised and asked, "How could such a thing happen? Just because he offended someone with one sentence, he was hidden away for so many years?"

"Hidden in the snow?" It was the first time Wu Yongli heard this word. He felt it was very fresh and appropriate. Although it was the first time he heard it, he understood the meaning of this word immediately and smiled bitterly. "Isn't it true? What can I do? My father has retired. He has lost his voice in the company! I can only let others control me now!"

Li Yunhai pondered and said, "As the saying goes, a tree that doesn't move dies, but a person who moves lives. Mr. Wu, since you are not happy here, why don't you change companies? I guess Gong Jie has talked to you about this, right? I am eager to recruit talents and I am looking for people everywhere. I think Mr. Wu is a talent, the talent I need! If Mr. Wu doesn't dislike our Sihai Group, I sincerely want you to come and help me!"

After this conversation, Wu Yongli had a deeper understanding of Li Yunhai. He felt that Li Yunhai was a friend worth making and a boss worth following.

Sihai Group’s reputation and influence in China are greater than SAIC!
Although, in recent years, due to Li Yunhai's withdrawal, the Sihai Group has been run into pieces.

But now the company is back in Li Yunhai's hands. With Li Yunhai's wisdom and experience, maybe he can really make something big in the automotive industry?

A real man should act decisively and never hesitate.

Since Wu Yongli thinks Li Yunhai is good, he should make up his mind as soon as possible, so he said: "Boss Li, thank you for your recognition of me. I am afraid that I am not talented enough to become Boss Li's right-hand man!"

Li Yunhai waved his hand and said, "Boss Wu, the road is made by people! Sihai Group wants to build cars, and now it is still crossing the river by feeling the stones. I need people like you who understand technology to lead the way. We can grow together and explore together! Starlight will not let down those who are on the road. I believe that our efforts will be rewarded in the end!"

Wu Yongli said: "Boss Li, if I go to Sihai Group, I wonder what kind of position you will assign to me?"

Since you are trying to poach someone, just talk directly about the position and salary.

Li Yunhai was well prepared. He took out a document and placed it in front of Wu Yongli, saying, "Mr. Wu, this is the employment letter I drafted. I have written down your position, salary, and benefits. Of course, everything can be negotiated! Take a look first. If there is any condition that you are not satisfied with, we can discuss it later."

Wu Yongli nodded and opened the file to look at it.

The employment letter clearly states that after Wu Yongli arrives at Sihai Group, he will serve as the production manager with an annual salary of 20 yuan. His annual salary will increase as his years of work increase.

In addition, there are various bonuses, benefits, equity incentives and other income.

After joining the company, you will be provided with a villa covering an area of ​​350 square meters, a work car worth no less than 50 yuan, and a full-time driver.

In 1997, even the CEOs of state-owned enterprises might not be able to receive such treatment.

Wu Yongli was deeply moved by what he saw, and at the same time he had more respect for Li Yunhai.

Because the conditions in the employment contract are almost completely consistent with the conditions Gong Jie had mentioned before!
This shows that Li Yunhai is really trying to recruit people!

Wu Yongli slowly closed the file.

Li Yunhai smiled slightly and asked, "Mr. Wu, what do you think? Is there anything you are not satisfied with? Do you need to go home and discuss it?"

Wu Yongli took a deep breath and said, "Boss Li, thank you for your appreciation of me! I, Wu Yongli, am not an ungrateful person. Birds choose trees to inhabit and virtuous ministers choose masters to serve. The conditions you offer far exceed my expectations, and I am not dissatisfied with anything. I don't have to go home and discuss it with anyone. I only have one request. I have a son who will graduate from college soon. I hope he can work with me. Of course, since he is a recent graduate, I can just arrange a grassroots job for him. As for my wife, if I can get such a high salary, it doesn't matter if she works in that class or not. I will let her follow me and take care of my son's daily life and diet."

Li Yunhai thought, it seems that Wu Yongli had discussed it with his family long ago, otherwise he wouldn't be so sure, so he said: "Okay! No problem! A tiger father will have a dog son, your son must be good, then come together! I'd love to! As for your wife, I can also arrange a suitable position for her. After all, women should have their own job to live a more fulfilling life."

Wu Yongli was touched and said, "Mr. Li, you are so thoughtful! Thank you."

Li Yunhai stretched out his hand, shook his hand, and said with a smile: "Then it's settled. You should resign as soon as possible and come here as soon as possible. I will wait for you in Xizhou!"

In the evening, Li Yunhai met with Wang Jinwen again.

Wang Jinwen regards Li Yunhai as his idol. He was overjoyed to see his idol's true appearance this time.

His conversation with Li Yunhai was more direct.

Before they even started drinking, Wang Jinwen said, "Boss Li, I'd like to work for Sihai Group! I've wanted to follow you before! But Sihai Group used to make industrial products, and I don't understand that business. If I go there, I'm afraid you won't hire me. Now, you make cars, and I understand cars! Even if I can just be a small operator, I'd be willing!"

Li Yunhai had read Wang Jinwen's resume and knew that he was a very talented person who was highly valued in SAIC.

Now SAIC's R&D department is basically led by this person.

It was truly a blessing for Li Yunhai to recruit him.

What’s commendable is that the two of them can still get along well!
The two hit it off and signed the employment contract that day.

Wang Jinwen will serve as the R&D manager of Sihai Group. His salary and benefits will be similar to Wu Yongli's, but he will receive an additional bonus. As long as the R&D department led by Wang Jinwen can develop automotive parts and technologies with independent patents, he will receive a substantial bonus.

This is an old tradition of Sihai Group and also reflects the importance it places on the R&D department.

Seeing such good conditions, Wang Jinwen was of course very grateful and said that he would resign next Monday.

Gong Jie asked: "Boss Wang, can you just quit if you want to? I'm afraid your company won't let you go."

Wang Jinwen and Wu Yongli are different.

Wu Yongli is a marginalized engineer. If he were to resign, his superiors would probably approve it within seconds.

However, Wang Jinwen is the backbone of the R&D department. Once he leaves, the R&D department may experience a significant shock, and the leaders will probably not let him leave easily.

Wang Jinwen thought about it and said, "It won't be that difficult! Our company is full of talented people. I don't know how many people are eyeing this position right under my butt! If I take the initiative to resign, many people will wake up laughing!"

Gong Jie asked, "What if your leader doesn't let you go? What will you do?"

Wang Jinwen said with a smile: "That's easy! Then I will resign voluntarily! If I don't go to work, can they still force me to go? If they don't approve my resignation, I will pack my bags and go to Xizhou! I won't care about him here!"

Li Yunhai and Gong Jie smiled at each other.

Sure enough, as long as the salary is right, poaching is a very easy thing.

Li Yunhai hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss Wang, there is something you can consider. You have been running the company for many years, so you must have a group of like-minded friends, right? If they are also willing to come to Sihai Group, I will welcome them! I can arrange corresponding positions for them according to their education and abilities. Of course, the conditions I offer here are definitely much higher than what they have now!"

Wang Jinwen understood and said, "Boss Li, I know! I will talk to them."

Li Yunhai picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Cheers to our bright future and our country's automobile industry!" (End of this chapter)
