Chapter 503: Top Talents for 3 Million US Dollars? That’s Too Cheap! Earn Money by Order!
Chen Yansen stayed in the Central Office's conference room for the entire morning before returning to the hotel by car.
The core content of this new energy vehicle subsidy symposium is the "2014 New Energy Vehicle Promotion and Application Notice" issued by the three major associations of Finance, Science and Technology, and Industry and Information Technology.
Among them, adjustments have been made to passenger car subsidies, with the maximum subsidy amount increased from 60,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan. The overall tone of "the higher the mileage, the higher the subsidy amount" remains.
Specifically, hybrid vehicles with a range of more than 100 kilometers will receive a subsidy of 35,000 yuan per vehicle;
Pure electric vehicles with a range of more than 100 kilometers and less than 200 kilometers will receive a subsidy of 35,000 yuan; those with a range of more than 200 kilometers and less than 300 kilometers will receive a subsidy of 50,000 yuan; those with a range of more than 300 kilometers and less than 800 kilometers will receive a subsidy of 60,000 yuan; and those with a range of more than 800 kilometers will receive a subsidy of 80,000 yuan.
If it is a first-time buyer, an additional 20,000 yuan will be added.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although this document does not directly mention the battery industry or even Deep Blue Technology, given the performance of traditional power batteries, it is difficult to increase the range to more than 800 kilometers while taking into account both handling and vehicle weight.
Unless you use deep blue batteries!
Isn’t this giving money to Chen Yansen?
In addition, battery factories that meet the document requirements can also receive a free subsidy of 2% of the project investment.
He also specifically mentioned DeepBlue Technology's name at the meeting.
The implication is obvious: only companies that have obtained Deep Blue Battery's OEM authorization can comply with relevant regulations.
In addition, pure electric passenger buses will receive a maximum subsidy of 150,000 yuan; pure electric special-purpose vehicles, such as those used in postal, logistics, and sanitation sectors, will receive a subsidy of 2,000 yuan per kilowatt-hour, with a maximum of no more than 150,000 yuan.
Half of the subsidy policy was born from Deep Blue Technology!
Chen Yansen knew that on the one hand, the performance of Deep Blue Battery was strong enough, and on the other hand, it was also a gesture of return from the upper management.
Previously, he authorized the technical patents of Deep Blue Battery to the military industry system at a low price, which seemed to have caused him a loss. However, less than four months later, he got the compensation back through new subsidy regulations.
At the symposium, the CEOs of BYD, CATL, Tianjin Lishen and Xingheng Power all looked at Chen Yansen with red eyes.
They were just earning some hard-earned money, but Chen Yansen was "making money on orders".
At the same time, the bosses of car companies such as JAC, SAIC, Great Wall and BAIC secretly breathed a sigh of relief because they had all obtained the purchasing rights for Deep Blue batteries.
But they also face a problem: the battery cost is too high and can only be used to produce high-end electric vehicles, and it is difficult to adapt to mid- and low-end models.
Taking a car with a range of 200 kilometers as an example, the battery cost alone is 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, and the price of the whole car is inevitably up to 200,000 yuan.
If you want to make a profit, you either have to raise the price of electric cars to the million-level like Tesla did, so that there is enough profit margin.
Chen Yansen doesn't bother to care about the thoughts of a number of car companies.
After all, Deep Blue Battery was just launched not long ago. It is a good time to make money and there is no worry about orders. It is impossible to lower the price to US$300 or even US$200 per kilowatt-hour for the development of the new energy vehicle industry, right?
Representatives from the China Association of Industry and Information Technology once sounded out his stance, but Chen Yansen politely declined, stating bluntly, "R&D costs are too high. Without sufficient profits, how can DeepBlue Technology afford to develop the next generation of products?"
As soon as these words came out, the other party immediately shut up in disappointment.
The price of Deep Blue batteries will definitely drop in the future, but definitely not now.
Anyway, the domestic tram infrastructure is not yet complete, and users mostly regard trams as a "big toy", and the acceptance rate is not high. There is really no need to adopt a sales strategy of small profits but quick turnover.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Yansen returned to the hotel.
After a short rest, we set off for Sohu's headquarters building in Zhongguancun at three o'clock in the afternoon.
When Chen Yansen arrived, Zhang Chaoyang and several Sohu executives were standing outside the first-floor lobby, waiting to greet him with a smile on their faces.
Chen Yansen looked up and took a look at the Sohu Network Building in front of him.
With 2 underground floors and 13 above-ground floors, the building area is 41,000 square meters. The future value of this building will be higher than the market value of Sohu.
There's nothing we can do about it, since Zhang Chaoyang is usually either in the bar, skiing, hiking, or sea fishing. There are so many people slacking off in the company that it's nicknamed the "Zhongguancun Nursing Home."
"If you don't come soon, I'll be off work." Zhang Chaoyang affectionately put his arm around Chen Yansen's arm, and walked in while complaining with a smile.
"What time do you get off work?" Chen Yansen asked casually.
"I usually tell the media I leave work at six," Zhang Chaoyang chuckled. Before Chen Yansen could ask further, he added, "Actually, I leave at four."
In his opinion, the quality of life of a person with a net worth of tens of billions and hundreds of billions is no different.
Instead of working hard to make money, it is better to enjoy life in time.
Otherwise, when you have made tens or hundreds of billions of dollars, but your health has broken down, even if you meet a beautiful girl, you can only move your hands and mouth to please her. How boring that would be.
Therefore, Lao Zhang secretly envied Chen Yansen very much. At the age of twenty-one, he was at the most capable age of his life.
If it were him, he might have to change three girlfriends in a day.
"I get off work at five o'clock." Chen Yansen responded with a smile.
The two smiled at each other.
Zhang Chaoyang stays in the office and does not work, while Chen Yansen is extremely efficient. Excluding meeting time, he can handle all the company's daily management affairs in just one hour on weekdays.
Zhang Chaoyang pulled him into the elevator. Their first stop was not the office, but the filming studio of "屌丝男士3", where Dapeng was acting opposite Akiho Yoshizawa.
It’s really hard to recognize him when he’s wearing clothes.
"Pony wants to merge Tencent Video and Sohu Video's businesses. What do you think?"
Zhang Chaoyang asked suddenly.
In fact, he and Ma Wenteng have been very close in the past six months, and their business dealings have been quite frequent.
Penguin has split out QQ Input Method and Soso, merged them with Sogou Search and Sogou Input Method, and also invested 450 million US dollars in strategic investment.
"Senlian Capital only holds a 20% stake in Tencent Video. Pony privately asked for my opinion, but I don't have any thoughts."
Chen Yansen shrugged, looking indifferent.
His home base is the short video platform, which can provide a steady stream of traffic for other businesses.
The long video platform has high investment, low returns and a long payback period, so he just made an investment casually.
"You have a bright mind, give me a suggestion: merge or operate independently?"
Zhang Chaoyang looked at him with burning eyes.
"Old Zhang."
"Call me Charles."
“Oh, Charles, do you want to merge or run it independently?”
“Independent operation.”
“Then operate independently.”
“…”
Zhang Chaoyang burst out laughing and couldn't help but give Chen Yansen a blank look: Boy, can you be a little more perfunctory?
But he wasn't angry. Instead, he touched Chen Yansen's shoulder and whispered, "Would you like to change things up tonight?"
As he said this, he raised his chin towards Akiho Yoshizawa on the set.
"Keep it for yourself." Chen Yansen refused decisively.
This is not a problem with used cars, but with buses.
"Okay, I'll take you upstairs to show you my wine cabinet. You can take whatever you want." Zhang Chaoyang didn't care and walked out of the studio chatting and laughing with Chen Yansen.
at the same time.
After getting off the plane, Liang Jinsong and his sister wanted to hail a taxi, but after asking several drivers, they all explained that they were online-hailing taxi drivers and were at the airport to pick up passengers with reservations.
"You didn't place an order in the app, so I can't give you a ride."
Only then did Liang Jinsong realize that the popularity of online ride-hailing in China is actually higher than in North America, Japan, South Korea and other regions.
In desperation, he quickly downloaded Kuaidi Taxi and applied for a taxi.
Since I checked the business car model, someone accepted the order soon.
At this time, the cell phone in Liang Jinsong's pocket rang.
He took out his cell phone and saw that the caller ID was Hu Ruihui from the China Science and Technology Association.
He thought for a moment, then pressed the answer button and asked, "Old Hu, how did you know I was in Yanjing?"
"Ah?! You came to Yanjing?" Hu Ruihui was obviously stunned and asked subconsciously.
Liang Jinsong reacted instantly, knowing he had misunderstood, and changed his words: "Just got out of the airport, Lao Hu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"I'd like to introduce you to a new friend, Chen Yansen, the founder of Tiangong Technology and Senlian Capital."
Hu Ruihui spoke straight to the point.
When Chen Yansen asked him to help find a chief scientist or CEO for a new project, he immediately thought of Liang Jinsong.
In the current battle between TSMC and Sanxing, Liang Jinsong has become a victim and is restricted from working for Sanxing for two years.
Isn’t this exactly the best candidate that Chen Yansen mentioned?
The other party not only understands technology and management, is familiar with process flow, but also has extensive connections in the supply chain field.
If Chen Yansen had not asked him to do so, he would most likely have introduced Liang Jinsong to Huaxin International.
"Chen Yansen again? As far as I know, Tiangong Technology is just a chip design company, right?"
Liang Jinsong was full of doubts and couldn't help asking.
"He plans to invest 30 billion to build a 28-nanometer chip production base." Hu Ruihui said slowly.
30 billion?
Liang Jinsong first heard his nephew praising Chen Yansen highly, and now seeing Hu Ruihui personally come forward to speak on his behalf, it really piqued his interest.
The 21-year-old richest man in the world, even if he doesn't accept the other party's invitation in the end, it doesn't hurt to meet him.
"I'm going to climb the Great Wall tomorrow morning, so I'll be free tonight."
Liang Jinsong answered carefully.
"No problem, I'll send you the time and place later." Hu Ruihui responded readily.
The other side.
Chen Yansen and Zhang Chaoyang went to a nearby high-end bar together. On the way, he received a call from Hu Ruihui.
"Liang Jinsong? He's in Yanjing? Okay, Mr. Hu, thank you very much."
Chen Yansen expressed his gratitude sincerely.
He didn't expect that if Old Hu had something to do, he would really go!
With Liang Jinsong's ability, he is more than qualified to serve as CTO or co-CEO of the new project.
He worked at AMD in his early years and later joined TSMC, where he became famous with his 0.13-micron process technology.
He then joined Sanxing as Chief Technology Officer of the Chip Department, raising the yield rate of the 28nm process from 20% to over 95%, thereby enhancing Sanxing's competitiveness in the field of logic chips.
Simply put, if Liang Jinsong had not joined, Shanxing would have to rely on Qualcomm and TSMC in the mid-to-high-end chip market.
Three days ago, Chen Yansen sent the list of preferred candidates to the Human Resources Department, and Liang Jinsong was ranked second.
He thought about it and decided to meet at Jingzhao Yin.
…
…
The next evening, the lights came on and the place was bright.
At the gate of Jingzhao Yin, Chen Yansen was chatting with Hu Ruihui.
"A one-time licensing fee of 20 million, plus a 0.5% royalty commission, is a very reasonable price. I'll have my staff contact you later."
Hu Ruihui quickly agreed, fearing that Chen Yansen would go back on his word.
You should know that the performance of the Xuanshu architecture far exceeds similar products from NVIDIA and ARM, and the latter's initial licensing fee is 10 million to 50 million US dollars, and the royalty rate is as high as 2%.
Only big customers like Apple and Intel have the opportunity to get an ultra-low royalty rate of 0.5%.
Obviously, Chen Yansen was returning the favor and thanking him for his help in making the connection.
"How is Liang Jinsong treated at Shanxing and Wanchao?"
Chen Yansen smiled, waved his hand, and then asked casually.
The reason people come out to work is nothing more than for money and power.
First, sufficient money must be provided; second, trust and authority must be given.
"Your question really stumped me. I've known Liang Jinsong for seven or eight years, but I've never inquired about his income.
His position at Shanxing is President of the Semiconductor Business. I can help you inquire about the income levels of his peers and colleagues at the same level."
Hu Ruihui was slightly startled and said with a frown.
"Mr. Hu, thank you for your help." Chen Yansen thanked him politely.
He had previously read statistics from a third-party agency and had a rough idea of the income of people like Liang Jinsong, but in the negotiation process, a slight mistake often leads to a huge loss, so it never hurts to have more information.
If you don't even give the money and still want to poach people, that's simply a fantasy.
Talents of Liang Jinsong's level have long passed the stage of struggling for food and clothing. What they value more is the platform, resources, and whether the effort and reward match.
If we can't offer sincere conditions, let alone get him to give up his current plan and join, I'm afraid we may not even get the opportunity to sit down and have a deep discussion.
Chen Yansen knew very well that the so-called negotiation skills were only auxiliary after all, and real benefits were the key to winning people's hearts.
Especially for someone like Liang Jinsong who has been working in the industry for many years and has seen the world, empty promises are far less convincing than a clear salary plan.
The more you know about his expectations, the more accurate your quotation will be. You won't miss out on talent by paying too little, nor will you waste unnecessary costs by paying too much.
This is the safest way to proceed in negotiations!
Hu Ruihui took out his cell phone and sent a message.
In less than three minutes, I received an accurate reply.
Hu Ruihui's students and old friends are spread all over the world, most of whom hold middle and senior management positions in the semiconductor industry. It is natural for them to get this kind of simple information.
Generally speaking, Liang Jinsong's compensation package includes fixed salary, stock incentives, and performance bonuses, with the ratio being 4, 4, and 2.
The annual salary of TSMC's CEO is between US$6 million and US$7.2 million, the annual salary of Sanxing Electronics' president is between US$4 million and US$4.8 million, and the annual salary of Huaxin International's technical director is between US$2.6 million and US$3 million.
From this we can see that it is normal to be unable to recruit talents.
Who is willing to take a pay cut to work here?
"Liang Jinsong's position at TSMC is senior R&D director, and his position at Samsung is chief technology officer. His salary is probably around 3 million US dollars."
Hu Ruihui analyzed with clear logic.
3 million US dollars, equivalent to 18.6 million Chinese yuan.
To be honest, this income level is not as high as that of Zhou Shouzhi, Gao Weilin and others.
"The top electronic engineer of 2013 is damn cheap!"
Chen Yansen thought secretly.
About five minutes later, a BMW commercial vehicle slowly stopped, and a man in his fifties in a suit got out. He was wearing an old-style striped shirt and his hairline had receded a little.
"Old Hu."
The man in the suit waved his hand and then turned his gaze to Chen Yansen.
The world's richest man, founder of Sunlink Capital, has a fortune of US$98 billion?
So young!
A hint of surprise flashed in Liang Jinsong's eyes.
