Chapter 710: I can fold paper airplanes, can I join Yunkun and build rockets? If we don’t allow failure, how can we succeed?
At 10 a.m. on October 13, Chen Yansen announced the official website of Yunkun Aerospace on Mimo, Douyin, Kuaishou and Toutiao respectively.
He also added a message: "The vast starry sky is closely related to everyone. I need more like-minded partners to realize Yunkun's space dream together.
As long as you can develop flying products or provide power support for aircraft, Yunkun welcomes you to join us!"
Obviously, this is a job ad.
Chen Yansen relied on his own extremely high popularity at home and abroad, and the fact that Forbes magazine had just released the 2014 World Rich List. At this critical juncture, the number of clicks on the news quickly exceeded 10 million.
An hour later, the number of clicks exceeded 100 million.
Everyone is curious: What fields is Yunkun Aerospace looking to recruit talents in this recruitment? What specific requirements does it have for job seekers?
In the comment section, a netizen had an idea and left a message jokingly: "Brother Sen, I can fold paper airplanes, can I?"
After seeing this message, Chen Yansen immediately replied: "As long as we can fly into space, there's no problem!"
When netizens saw this, they were immediately amused.
They didn't expect that the world's richest man with a net worth of more than 600 billion US dollars would have time to interact with netizens online and answer such boring questions.
In an instant, the topic's popularity doubled.
Some netizens who initially didn't care about Yunkun Aerospace's recruitment couldn't help but click on the recruitment module of the official website to find out more details.
at the same time.
Gree production base, No. 6 Fengxiang Street, Greentown Hi-Tech Development Zone.
During the break, Yang Dongzhi sat on the floor and started browsing Toutiao. After a few scrolls, he came across the recruitment notice posted by Chen Yansen.
"Brother Sen is truly amazing! This is the first time in China that a private company has built a rocket. The power behind this is truly formidable!"
He grinned, muttered softly, and clicked on the official website of Yunkun Aerospace, casually browsing the recruitment positions.
"Arrow-mounted single-machine design engineer, monthly salary 40 to 50K, annual salary 20 to 28;"
"Rocket software engineer, monthly salary 25 to 40K, annual salary 20 to 28;"
"Satellite general engineer, monthly salary 50 to 60K, annual salary 20 to 28;"
Oh shit!
This salary is too high!
Yang Dongzhi couldn't help but curl his lips and took a breath.
The minimum annual salary for each position is over 500,000.
Based on this salary, if I work for ten years, won’t I be able to buy a car and a house?
But he didn't feel envious at all, because after reading the qualifications line by line, he found that none of them had anything to do with him.
Just as I was about to close the webpage, my peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a job position: Argon arc welder, monthly salary 15 to 25K.
"Xiao Yang! Are you being lazy again? Hurry up and finish the welding work on these compressors!"
The team leader shouted from a distance.
"Okay, right away!"
Yang Dongzhi agreed straightforwardly, but he didn't move an inch, his eyes fixed on the job requirements on his phone screen: "High school degree or above, good health, no bad habits; more than three years of experience in aluminum alloy tungsten inert gas arc welding, and a welder's license;
Master the basic knowledge of aluminum alloy argon arc welding and be familiar with the operation of argon arc welding machines such as Fronius or Miller; be able to understand CAD two-dimensional drawings and be proficient in using various tools.
It seems like I have all these skills!
"What are you looking at? Yunkun Aerospace is hiring? You're just a welder, and you're thinking about building rockets?"
At this time, the team leader came over, his tone full of disdain.
In his eyes, building rockets is a very high-end business, how could a workshop welder like them have the ability to touch it?
"Hey, just take a look, it doesn't cost any money."
Yang Dongzhi put away his cell phone, unscrewed the teacup and took a sip of water, grabbed the welding equipment and returned to his workstation to continue working.
In fact, Yunkun Aerospace is not only recruiting argon arc welders and assembly fitters this time, but also riveting assemblers, filling and gas supply operators, and even cleaners, chefs and food servers.
After reading the recruitment information, many netizens felt that they could do the job.
But some netizens poured cold water on the rebuttal: "Wake up, kid! Just looking at the basics is useless!"
"My childhood dream wasn't to be a scientist, but an engineer, ideally one that could build large airplanes and satellites. Unfortunately, I almost didn't get into Harbin Institute of Technology on the college entrance examination that year."
"Hey man, what were your test scores? What position did you take?"
"Don't ask, the answer is we are building airplanes!" a courier replied hurriedly.
"Welder is a great position! I meet the first requirement!"
"Me too!"
"What a coincidence! I also have a high school diploma."
"Well, not only do I have a high school diploma, but I can also use a wrench. Can I screw the screws on the rocket?"
Someone immediately responded: "Don't screw around blindly. If you screw a screw loose on the rocket, we can't afford to pay for it!"
In the workshop, Yang Dongzhi held a welding gun in his hand, the blue light of argon arc welding flickered in front of his eyes, but his mind was full of the recruitment requirements on the mobile phone screen.
Since you know how to do it, why not give it a try?
It doesn’t cost money to submit a resume anyway!
His monthly salary at Gree is only 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, or 13 salaries a year, which is completely incomparable to Yunkun Aerospace.
Moreover, he had heard that employees of Senlian Capital, including deliverymen and couriers, received 20 salaries a year.
If I could get a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan at Yunkun Aerospace, my basic salary alone would be at least 300,000 yuan a year before tax.
What's more, this does not include additional income such as subsidies and overtime pay.
If you add it all up, earning 400,000 yuan a year is easy, which is more than three times your current income.
Thinking of this, Yang Dongzhi made up his mind: I will submit my resume as soon as I get home from get off work today!
Even if you're worried that "the interviewer might make a mistake and let you get in", you still have to give it a try!
But people like Yang Dongzhi who dare to take the initiative to try are a minority after all.
For most ordinary people, when they mention aerospace companies, the image of senior scientists wearing protective clothing and studying cutting-edge technologies always comes to their mind unconsciously.
Even if the job requirements are clearly stated in the recruitment information and are not so "out of reach", most people will still subconsciously back off and not have the courage to submit their resumes.
However, logistical positions such as cleaners, chefs, and waiters have become the "hot cakes" that netizens are scrambling for.
In just six hours, each logistics position received more than 2,000 resumes. What is even more surprising is that the bachelor's degree rate among these job seekers is as high as 47%.
The "low-end positions" that were originally inclined towards basic services have been forcibly turned into "education-intensive positions."
There's no way, mainly because Boss Chen gave too much.
You know, after graduating from college, the starting salary for ordinary college students is mostly only three to four thousand yuan.
However, the recruitment information for Yunkun Aerospace's cleaning position clearly states a base salary of 4,500 yuan, plus housing allowance, transportation allowance, meal allowance, quarterly bonuses and overtime pay, so the average monthly income is at least 8,000 to 9,000 yuan.
From this perspective, instead of working as a corporate slave in an internet company or factory, it is better to start working as a cleaner early on, and you can save yourself thirty years of detours.
At the same time.
In the Eighth Research Institute in Shanghai, as soon as Zhou Junping learned that Chen Yansen had announced Yunkun Aerospace's recruitment channels, he immediately sent his prepared resume to the other party's designated email address.
He had already found out that since 30% of Yunkun Aerospace's shares were held by state-owned assets, researchers below the rank of senior chief engineer were not allowed to participate.
Even if you are an important person involved in confidential matters, you do not need to spend two years in a non-confidential position in the institute to declassify.
He is currently only a senior engineer, two levels away from being a senior supervisor engineer, so he is naturally not within the restriction range. (Ordinary Engineer → Senior Engineer → Supervisor Engineer → Senior Supervisor Engineer → Chief Engineer → Senior Chief Engineer → Chief Scientist)
This is also the reason why Chen Yansen went to Han Jinheng in person to make his request.
If Han Jinheng had not coordinated and there was no state-owned capital backing them up, with Yunkun Aerospace's current large-scale recruitment efforts, there was no guarantee that something unexpected would happen.
There are some businesses that can be done even if you have a background but no money; but there are some businesses that will fail if you have money but no background, and at best you will lose your money, and at worst you may lose your life.
After submitting his resume, Zhou Junping was always worried: he was afraid that Yunkun Aerospace would not look down on his resume, and he was also worried that if he really got the job opportunity, the institute would not let him go.
As the saying goes, "Every policy has its own countermeasure." He is well aware of the twists and turns involved.
If the research institute deliberately makes things difficult for him, there are plenty of ways to trip him up.
At 4:15 p.m., Zhou Junping received a call from Yunkun Aerospace HR. The two sides discussed the time for the first interview, which was finally set at 6 p.m.
To his surprise, the person in charge of the initial interview was a technical expert from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology specializing in the field of aerospace engines. This expert had previously given a technical lecture at the Shanghai Research Institute.
"Mr. Liao, why is it you?"
Zhou Junping had a wry smile on his face, but his heart was beating fast, fearing that the other party would tell the institute about his secret interview and plan to change jobs.
"Don't worry, I'm paid to do this. I'm currently a senior engineer in the Yunkun Aerospace Engine R&D Department. Don't be nervous, let's start the interview."
Liao Shizhe waved his hand.
With the help of Han Jinheng's influence and the good cooperative relationship accumulated over a long period of time with the China Science and Technology Association, although Chen Yansen failed to recruit many top chief scientists, he also recruited a group of cutting-edge talents who were frustrated in their original units for Yunkun Aerospace.
Although it is an extremely difficult decision for them to resign from their positions and join a private aerospace company.
But they are reluctant to give up the temptation of huge scientific research results!
Previously, many engineers who went to Xingyuan Technology's optical R&D center for support chose to stay.
The reason is very simple. As long as you can produce results, the company will not only pay you enough salary, but also give you due honors. No one dares to jump out and grab the credit.
Because the boss understands the technology, he can tell whether it is his own credit by asking, and there is no way to fake it.
In addition, there are rumors that 5 places will be reserved for Xingyuan Technology in the next batch of academician selection.
Who wouldn't envy fame and fortune?
Just like Liao Shizhe, he was originally a core backbone of the Yenching Institute of Aerospace. When he heard that Chen Yansen was going to recruit people for Yunkun Aerospace, he submitted his resignation letter without much hesitation.
As for the declassification period?
That thing is used to restrict low-level researchers. Given his status and level in the scientific research circle, he can completely ignore it.
"Okay." Zhou Junping took a deep breath and introduced himself.
He then talked about his major in university, aircraft propulsion engineering, and then moved on to the solid rocket engine nozzle optimization project he participated in after joining the Eighth Research Institute in Shanghai. He tried to describe each technical node in as much detail as possible.
He knew that Liao Shizhe was an expert in this field and that he would not be able to conceal any of his lies.
"What specific part were you responsible for in the 2013 nozzle high-temperature coating improvement project?"
Liao Shizhe asked suddenly.
"At the time, I was responsible for laboratory verification of the coating formula and subsequent process adjustments for small-batch trial production. The alumina ceramic coating we initially used always cracked at high temperatures. Later, I tried adding 5% zirconium oxide to the formula and adjusted the argon gas flow rate during spraying, and finally controlled the cracking rate to below 0.3%."
Zhou Junping answered calmly.
In the research institute, he is one of the people who do the actual work. How could he not remember the work he has done with his own hands and the technical difficulties he has tackled?
Therefore, in response to Liao Shizhe's questions, he spoke freely and answered fluently and confidently without any pause.
The reason why Liao Shizhe focused on technical details during the interview was because he was too familiar with some hidden problems in the scientific research circle.
Many people who really put their heart into their work and achieve results often only leave their names as the second or third author of a technical paper, and are not the most prominent one.
As for those who claim to have participated in several projects in two years and still found time to publish several papers, he has no interest in even taking a second look at them.
"What particle size of zirconium oxide was chosen? What was the argon flow rate?"
Liao Shizhe continued to ask, with a little more appreciation in his eyes.
He understood that this was a man who could get work done.
"The particle size selected is 1 to 3 microns, the argon flow rate is reduced from 15 liters per minute to 12 liters per minute, and the spraying distance is shortened from 200 mm to 180 mm. This will increase the density of the coating by another two percentage points."
Zhou Junping's answer was particularly clear and concise.
He spent a full three months measuring and calculating this set of experimental parameters step by step. It was like they were engraved in his mind and he knew them so well.
Liao Shizhe nodded, stopped harping on the technical details, and instead asked about his views on private aerospace.
Zhou Junping was stunned for a moment, then said frankly: "When I was in the research institute before, the progress of the project was sometimes affected by funding and approval. Sometimes a plan would take more than half a year to be implemented.
I heard Yunkun has ample funding and the basic conditions to rapidly advance research and development. They're willing to invest resources as long as the technology is right. I want to take advantage of my youth and work on a project that can go to space."
These words really touched Liao Shizhe's heart.
He resigned from the Yenching Institute of Aerospace because he was fed up with the layers of reporting procedures.
What made him even more worried was that everyone in the institute was afraid of making mistakes when it came to the new plan.
Everyone is afraid of taking responsibility for failure, and would rather stick to the old methods and proceed step by step than try new possibilities.
But how can research be successful in one go?
If we don’t even give people the chance to try and make mistakes, and don’t even allow failure, how can we talk about technological progress?
