Chapter 495 The ideal price(1/2)
Create greater user value.
Create irreplaceable social value.
Keep a low profile.
Zhou Buqi understands these three points. When integrated, the outline feels clear.
I feel very admired.
This is a high-level perspective that is both in line with national conditions and at the top of the times.
It is difficult for Zhou Buqi to hear this kind of view in the capital, where people keep talking about what the central government does and what the ministers do. They are playing by a different set of rules.
You have to ask for advice immediately.
"Boss Ren, what do you think about overtime?"
"Um?"
Zhou Buqi said in embarrassment: "We also have training to instill our values. Working overtime is not only a help to the company, but also self-growth. But everyone complains a lot in private."
Huawei is the company with the worst overtime problem in China. In this regard, CEO Ren leaves no room for anything and is very cold: "If you don't work overtime, you will be fired."
"Isn't this not good?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. There's no need to waste each other's time if we don't agree with each other. Anyone who complains in private will be fired directly without hesitation."
Zhou Buqi twitched the corner of his mouth.
This old man always smiles, and his smile is particularly bright. I didn't expect his style to be so tough. He is probably a soldier, and there is no doubt about the order from the top to the bottom.
Mr. Ren said: “Not only do you have to work overtime, but you also have to work extra hard.”
"Your body won't be able to bear it, right?"
"Then let's get a new group of people and let those who are in good health come."
"Well……"
Zhou Buqi didn't know what to say.
He had heard that there was a vice president working at Huawei who worked overtime for many years. His body was exhausted, his kidneys were failing, and his married life was not harmonious. His wife complained, and he wanted to resign. As a result, he was criticized by Boss Ren.
, saying that you shouldn’t have a wife like that. Is there anything more important than ideals?
Mr. Ren said calmly: "Our country is like a startup company, and the United States is like a large listed company. Large companies need money and have countless elites. How can startup companies compete? They rely on hard work, struggle, reform, and equity incentives.
Companies in Silicon Valley work eight hours a day, and we also work eight hours a day. How can we catch up with them? If we don’t have money or technology, we have to work hard."
Speaking of this, Mr. Ren became a little excited, "Back then, the martyrs used millet and rifles to resist other people's aircraft and gunfire with their flesh and blood. It was a great ideal created with countless blood. If nothing else, let's just say
Aren’t the exchange rates in recent years draining the pockets of generations of people for the sake of economic development? A few days of overtime is nothing.”
The matter of revolutionary martyrs is a bit far away from Zhou Buqi.
But the exchange rate issue was right in front of him, and he knew it very well.
In order to stimulate the country's economic take-off, Mr. Zhu made a decision. In addition to housing reform, medical reform, education reform and market-oriented reform of state-owned enterprises, another very important point is to forcibly devalue the Chinese currency.
With foreign exchange, foreigners can exchange for more Chinese coins. They are clearly a loser abroad, but they suddenly become rich in China, looting the fruits of labor created by generations of domestic people.
Even a taxi driver from the Hong Kong government can come to Pengcheng to pick up a few beautiful female college students and live a happy life.
One of the most important WTO lawsuits in recent years is that foreigners have asked for the appreciation of the Chinese currency, saying that they no longer want to plunder the wealth of your people. This is of course an excuse. The deeper reason behind it is that the depreciated Chinese currency will make "Made in China"
The price overseas is lower, and it is increasingly sold all over the world, beating all local manufacturing industries.
The final result is that their local basic manufacturing industry has been crushed, and they can only buy products from China, making China a global manufacturing center. This is equivalent to having a huge international voice.
It can be said that the country's goal has basically been achieved.
For example, when Huawei's routers enter the European market, they have to lower their prices. Competitor Cisco has only two options, either to die or to transfer manufacturing to China.
But the sacrifice is also huge.
It costs Chinese people two months’ salary to buy a TV set, and generations of people’s pockets have been drained.
Zhou Buqi shook his head and said: "Most of the hidden sacrifices cannot be understood, and they may not matter. But buying an air conditioner in China costs 2,000 yuan, while buying an identical one abroad only costs 1,000 yuan. This intuitive price difference,
The easiest thing to cause dissatisfaction. Microsoft, Google, eBay, and IBM have all set up branches in China. They insist on an eight-hour working day, but we have to stay up late and work overtime every day. Aren't the talented people attracted by this obvious different treatment?
?”
Mr. Ren said: "Don't worry, in any era, idealist warriors are indispensable. Read "History of the Song Dynasty", read "History of the Ming Dynasty", and look back on the past two hundred years. Who doesn't feel sad? You can always find some people who are fighting for their ideals and not for others."
People who are willing to give everything to be bullied by foreigners again."
Zhou Buqi shook his head and was rather pessimistic, "Every time there are dog-slaughters in the heroes, when the dog-slaughters become landlords, they are no longer heroes. The country's economy is getting better and better, and there are fewer and fewer idealists.
Academicians stand on stage and shout slogans every day, let alone ordinary people?"
“In addition to spiritual support, we must also have a material foundation.”
Mr. Ren laughed heartily again, his pride showing.
His equity operations in Huawei can be said to be unprecedented.
99% of the shares were distributed to employees.
As long as he can hold about 20% of the shares, he can still be the richest man in China for decades.
Huawei already has high wages, coupled with annual dividends... Huawei's overtime work is serious, but it is the technology company with the highest salary in the country.
First, there is a huge ideal above the head, guiding everyone to strive; second, there are huge financial benefits attracting people to come and work.
Boss Ren was silent when he saw Zhou Buqi, and it was hard to say anything. After all, everyone has a different mindset. For an ideal, he could give up his wealth and even endure his daughter being under house arrest abroad for a long time, but he couldn't ask this young
The young man is the same as me.
He just said lightly: "I used to be a soldier. The older generation were not even afraid of death for this country. Now that there is no need to fight, I can give more shares to employees, pay more wages, and encourage them to work overtime."
Struggle, it can still be done.”
Zhou Buqi drank tea silently.
It feels very depressing.
Just like the last time I went to Silicon Valley.
It was a feeling of powerlessness that even if I was reborn and could see through a certain future world, I would still be helpless. When people open a company, they really risk their lives, just like following a battlefield, putting everything on the line.
I can't do it myself.
He feels that he is already very proud. Whether it is Ziweixing or many other companies it has led, such as Jieyu Media, Yuanwei Milk Tea, Bajixing Technology, etc., they are all willing to give away large amounts of equity.
Is it possible to allocate 99% of the shares?
Even if wealth can be given up, the model of Internet companies is different. They look at potential rather than market value, which means that profits are often not high. They can only go public and realize huge value by relying on high PE stock prices. This
It is destined not to imitate Mr. Ren’s equity play style.
Huawei is right there, I want to learn...but I can't.
Mr. Ren waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are melancholy, which shows that the consciousness of our country and our country is already very high. When I was your age, I was still a fool. Every company has different situations, and you can learn.
But I can't imitate it. I specifically asked Xu Zhijun, our technical guy, about the distributed database, and it was amazing. If you really want to make it happen, let me express my opinion that Huawei supports you!"
Zhou Buqi drank up a cup of tea and asked his secretary to pour him another cup, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to call him.
Is this called sister? Or aunt?
"Just call me Xiao Su, you are both the same age."
"Sister Su, please give me another cup. The tea you make is so fragrant."
Zhou Buqi said something flattering.
The topic of overtime must not be discussed anymore. Zhou Buqi asked again: "Boss Ren, some people pursue the idea that sand cannot be tolerated in the eyes, thinking that this is the correct value. But Mr. Liu told me that sand can be tolerated in the eyes."
, is truly mature. What should we do as an enterprise?"
"What about the company's accounts?"
"right."
"Inevitable."
"What should you do if you encounter it?"
Zhou Buqi was very concerned about this.
Last time, he handled Chen Dong's matter very well, but it was impossible to say that he didn't feel entangled in his heart.
Boss Ren laughed, his pride showing again.
Zhou Buqi was amused.
I feel like this man is like an old naughty boy, which is a bit cute.
Mr. Ren said: "We have a branch in Russia. We spent five times the high salary to recruit one of their scientists, a young man in his twenties. Later, the person in charge of the business there reported that it was him
Playing computer games while at work.”
Zhou Buqi's heart skipped a beat.
