Chapter 713: No more screwing, I'm going to weld rockets! The welfare housing is topped out, and Sabena is established!
"Going to China? Why so suddenly?"
In an elegant villa in California, Lin Maoye's wife and daughter were surprised after hearing his decision, and asked in unison.
"I spent two hours chatting with the founder of Yunkun Aerospace. He is an entrepreneur who understands technology and respects talent. His ability to obtain a license for a private aerospace company shows that China is also changing its mindset and developing the aerospace sector as a commercial sector.
I think I can go back and take a look. If there is anything that is not suitable, I can come back later."
Lin Maoye put down the knife and fork in his hand and explained calmly.
His ancestral home is in Jinling. He is 48 years old this year and holds a doctorate in aeronautics and astronautics. He worked at the European Space Agency for 8 years as a senior engineer of aerospace systems. He also served as president of the technology line of the largest private airline company in Fengche Country.
Four years ago, he was invited by his classmates to join NASA and became the chief scientist, responsible for the scientific research work related to instruments such as the Mercury Laser Altimeter and the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter. He is also a visiting professor at Johns Hopkins University.
in the country, Lin Maoye is not very famous.
But overseas, he is well-known.
However, he is a second-generation immigrant and his Chinese proficiency is limited. He can only speak simple daily expressions and is unable to cope with complex expressions.
His wife is French and the family had previously lived in Europe before moving to the Beacon Country in the past two years.
"Dad, we support your decision."
The eldest son pondered for a moment, looked up at Lin Maoye, and said in a serious tone.
In fact, the eldest son did not approve of his father going to China at all.
In his opinion, he is a Frenchman living and working in the beacon country.
Maybe there is indeed half Chinese blood flowing in my veins, but what does that mean?
He has long been accustomed to his current life and has no sense of identity with returning to his country.
But he also knew that his father was stubborn by nature. Once he made a decision, others could not intervene even if they wanted to persuade him.
Lin Maoye nodded and then looked at his wife.
"I respect your choice." The wife smiled gently and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek.
at the same time.
At the headquarters of the North American Anguo Association, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked hurriedly and finally pushed the door and walked into an office.
"Boss, the latest list is out. Yunkun Aerospace has poached a total of 17 senior researchers from SpaceX, NASA, and Orbital Sciences. 30% of them are Chinese, 20% are recent European immigrants, and the remaining 50% are local engineers."
Grant spoke slowly.
"Yunkun Aerospace? Could it be that they've mastered a sonic hypnosis technique? Why do these incredibly intelligent scientists always seem to love going to China? What's there there that's worth all the trouble?"
O'Connor raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion.
He couldn't help but think of what happened half a year ago. At that time, Daniel Skinner, Micron's director of mobile DRAM architecture, even fell out with the Anguo Association in order to go to China.
As soon as he landed in China, he changed his Chinese name to "Tang Sen". It was obvious that he was protesting in this way, accusing the beacon country of interfering with the freedom of choice of employment and personal freedom of scientific researchers.
"According to data, in the past two weeks, Yunkun Aerospace has contacted a total of 69 researchers through headhunters and official recruitment channels. Of these, 29 had phone conversations, but only 17 ultimately purchased tickets to China."
Grant paused and continued, "If they really had mastered the so-called sonic hypnosis technology, their efficiency shouldn't be so low."
After saying that, he gently placed the organized investigation report in his hand on the boss's desk.
O'Connor picked up the information and flipped through it casually, only to see his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
After a moment, he put down the materials and said in a deep voice: "Among these people, many are technical talents that we focus on, especially those engineers who are responsible for the development of core instruments at NASA. The technology they master is crucial to our space projects.
What methods did Yunkun Aerospace use to make them give up their generous treatment in North America and run to China?"
Grant stood aside and answered cautiously, "Our investigation found that although the salary offered by Yunkun Aerospace is slightly higher than what they had in North America, it is not the main attraction.
After a covert investigation, we found that the accounts of these departing employees were relatively consistent. They mentioned that it was Yunkun Aerospace that presented them with a more ambitious aerospace vision, which impressed them.
Space concept?
What kind of bullshit logic is this!
You know, when it comes to the abundance of R&D funding, NASA is the king, with a total allocation of 17.65 billion US dollars this year.
China only has 4 billion US dollars!
How much funding can a newly established private aerospace company provide?
After hearing this, O'Connor couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this group of people had clearly been bewitched and made such a choice.
We must not sit idly by!
O'Connor raised his head and instructed Grant, "Immediately arrange for personnel to closely monitor the movements of these 17 researchers. Also, contact our intelligence personnel in China to investigate Yunkun Aerospace's R&D progress and funding sources to see if they have violated any international regulations. If you discover anything suspicious, report it to me immediately."
Grant quickly agreed: "I understand, Boss! I'll arrange it right away."
After his subordinates left the office, O'Connor picked up the phone on the table and dialed an internal number.
He made up his mind to "invite" all those who had fled to China back and have a psychologist give them a thorough examination to see what exactly affected them.
…
…
The other side.
Zhou Junping first talked with the personnel of Yunkun Aerospace, and then talked with Chen Yansen for half an hour in the form of a video interview.
As for the company's development direction and future vision, he actually only remembered a few things.
But when it comes to the salary and benefits of his position, he remembers it exactly.
The salary set for him by the human resources department was very clear: a base salary of 42,000 yuan, plus an 8,400 yuan housing allowance, a 500 yuan meal allowance and a 200 yuan transportation allowance.
What’s even more attractive is that you can get a car worth 500,000 yuan as soon as you join the company.
If you can work at Yunkun Aerospace for ten years, the company will give you a house in Yanjing for free.
In addition, the company also promised to help him solve two major issues: one is the household registration problem in Yanjing; the other is the worries of his family, including his wife’s work arrangements and his children’s education.
After hanging up the phone, his first reaction was to slap himself.
Because the welfare benefits of Yunkun Aerospace are too good and unrealistic.
It is difficult for a doctoral student at the Shanghai Aerospace Research Institute to get an annual salary of 500,000 within five years of joining the company, but he, a graduate student in an engine design position, actually received an annual salary of one million.
Is this reasonable?
Zhou Junping couldn't help but wonder, but he didn't know.
With his work ability, whether he goes to SpaceX, Orbital Sciences, Firefly, or Blue Origin, he can get a basic salary of no less than 100,000 US dollars.
In addition, there are bonuses and equity.
Therefore, the salary offered by Chen Yansen is not high, at most it can be said to be on par with his overseas counterparts.
But for Zhou Junping, who was accustomed to the salary levels in the domestic industry, such conditions were shocking enough.
I was stunned by Boss Chen’s money!
As soon as he received the formal job invitation letter, Zhou Junping immediately stood up and walked into his superior's office and handed over the resignation letter he had prepared long ago.
"You want to resign?"
The director picked up the resignation letter and glanced at it, his face full of disbelief.
The director clutched the resignation letter Zhou Junping handed him and looked up at the graduate student who had been employed there for five years. A hint of anger crossed his face. "Zhou Junping, do you know what you're doing? Isn't the platform the institute has given you good enough? A stable salary, annual research subsidies, and a path to promotion. How many people are vying for a place in this? And you're just quitting, and you're not?"
"Director, I know the institute is great, but I'm already 32 years old and I don't even have a place to stay in Shanghai.
Yunkun Aerospace has provided me with a position that better suits my career plan and an environment that allows me to fully devote myself to research and development."
Zhou Junping said very calmly.
Yunkun Aerospace?
The director frowned and said disdainfully, "That newly established private company? Do you think private companies can compete with us? Do they understand what aerospace research and development is?"
They're just relying on capital speculation to get a piece of the pie in this field. If you go there, you'll definitely regret it within three years!"
Zhou Junping shook his head and said firmly, "Director, I believe in my judgment."
Seeing Zhou Junping's stubborn defiance, the director slammed the table in anger. "You're completely clueless! The institute trained you for two years, and you just leave like that? That's irresponsible! And if you go to a private company, it'll be hard to get back into the system!"
"Director, I have no plans to come back."
Zhou Junping said with a smile.
“…” The director opened his mouth, intending to use files and resignation procedures to pressure the other party.
But he thought again and suddenly remembered what the director had specifically mentioned during the meeting a few days ago.
In short, non-core personnel can leave if they want to, and they will not be stopped or retained.
Thinking of this, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and no longer had the urge to stop him.
…
…
"Yeah, I quit!"
Greentown, Gree production base, Yang Dongzhi said to the team leader with a smile.
"Going to Foxconn?"
The team leader asked curiously.
Although Yang Dongzhi's welding skills are indeed excellent and he is considered a technical pillar in the workshop, in the opinion of the team leader, what is most in demand these days is welders.
Even if Yang Dongzhi leaves, there are people like Wang Dongzhi and Zhao Dongzhi to take over, so there is no need to worry about lack of work.
For the entire workshop, a character like Yang Dongzhi is neither too many nor too few, and he is not an indispensable existence.
"I've had enough of working on the assembly line! Next I'm going to Yanjing to weld rockets!"
Yang Dongzhi grinned, his face full of unconcealable pride.
After finding such a good job, of course I have to show off, otherwise it would be so boring to keep it in my heart, right?
"Hahahaha! Xiao Yang, you young people just love to joke around."
The team leader burst into laughter on the spot, but a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth. He didn't take Yang Dongzhi's words seriously at all.
A welder on the assembly line in a workshop wants to go to Yanjing to weld rockets?
Who would believe this?
Building a rocket is not comparable to welding compressor parts. The technical difficulty and requirements are much higher. How can it be so easy?
Seeing this, Yang Dongzhi didn't say much.
After all, even Yang Dongzhi himself still felt it was unreal. He didn't expect that he actually passed the interview and welding practical assessment of Yunkun Aerospace.
The basic salary is 16,000 yuan, and the minimum salary is 20 yuan per year.
This good thing that he had only dared to dream of before has now come true, which makes him feel a little dazed.
The workers who heard the conversation between the two also gathered around and talked about it.
Some people were envious, some were skeptical, and some were secretly thinking: When I get home from get off work, I'll have to ask my son to make a resume for me and hand it over to him.
They knew that although their argon arc welding skills were not as advanced as Yang Dongzhi's, they were definitely more than enough to handle ordinary welding work.
Moreover, the salary offered by Yunkun Aerospace to welders is really attractive. The basic salary is 6,000 to 10,000 yuan per month. The number alone may not seem particularly high, but if you add in miscellaneous benefits such as rent and food, the overall income is more than double that of working at Gree.
After all, it was Yang Dongzhi who gave them the confidence.
In the eyes of these workers, Yang Dongzhi was just a poor student with only a high school diploma and who had only scored over 300 points in the college entrance examination.
If even he could successfully pass the interview at Yunkun Aerospace, there's no reason why I couldn't!
It can be said that Yang Dongzhi's case directly lowered their "threshold imagination" of the aerospace industry, making them feel that this once unattainable job seems to have become an opportunity within reach.
What's more, it doesn't cost any money to give it a try. What if it succeeds?
At the same time, many experienced welders with mature welding skills in major shipyards and automobile manufacturing plants in East China and Southeast China were busy organizing materials, filling out information, and submitting resumes to Yunkun Aerospace.
Everyone who has read the news knows that Yunkun Aerospace has raised 15 billion yuan in funds without even an office. It has strong financial resources. Is it still worried about not being able to pay salaries?
In the eyes of working people, the reputation of Senlian Capital and Chen Yansen has skyrocketed.
However, in the relevant industry, Chen Yansen has a terrible reputation.
He even maliciously raised salaries for his employees. Not only did he build welfare housing, but he also gave a free house to R&D personnel of a certain rank who had worked in the company for ten years.
This is too vicious!
For a time, although Yunkun Aerospace's talent recruitment plan was very high-profile, it also attracted countless criticisms.
…
…
On October 15, Orange Construction’s two welfare housing projects in Luzhou: Orange Jiayuan Phase I and Phase II, were officially topped out and entered the decoration stage.
Every day, the employees of Senlian Capital who pass by on their way to and from get off work are full of anticipation, hoping that they can win a set.
Although this house is not free and is only 40% off, even so, you can save hundreds of thousands of dollars at one time. Who can be willing to give it up?
Thousands of kilometers away in Abyssinia, a milk brand called "Sebena" quietly completed its registration.
