The scene was starting to stir, and Lu Feng could tell that everyone was quite excited.
"Hurricane Semiconductor is facing difficulties right now. We just raised funds a few months ago. Although we have cooperated with many international companies, our country started too late. Coupled with international sanctions, we are lagging behind international products by one generation in core areas. This is not because we have not worked hard enough!"
"It's not because we lack money, but because we lack talent!"
"The reason why all our company's senior executives are here today is to show you our sincerity. This is not just a simple recruitment drive, but a trip to work together with you to achieve great things and accomplish great things. I believe that with your participation, Hurricane Semiconductor will catch up with the world's leading semiconductor companies!"
"Just now, Mr. Wei mentioned management and benefits, but there was one thing he didn't explain clearly. That is, the internship salary is the same as the formal salary. As long as you report for duty, the salary is 3,500 yuan, including room and board in a two-person apartment. The food is the same as mine. After joining the project team, there is a travel allowance. After the project is completed, there are project bonuses and personal bonuses. There are also holiday gifts during festivals."
"There is huge potential for advancement. As long as you have the ability, becoming a supervisor in six months, a product manager in two years, and independently undertaking project development in three to five years is not a problem. We also have an equity incentive plan, so earning a million a year is not such a distant dream."
"As you all just heard me say, the company just raised funds, so are you worried it won't survive? Don't worry about that. I've saved up some money over the years, not a lot, but a billion dollars! I'm telling you this not for any other reason than to let you know that I'm going to stick with semiconductors to the death!"
"Even if I run out of personal funds in a few years, it doesn't matter. Hurricane Semiconductor is a national-level high-tech demonstration enterprise. I went to Beijing for a meeting some time ago, and a very high-ranking leader told me that I must continue to do it, and the country will fully support me!"
"That's all I wanted to say. The compensation has been explained, and the rest is up to you. I hope those with backbone will join me, those who are willing to work themselves to the bone in research and developmentâthey are especially welcome. I hope you have a certain sense of responsibility, a sense of historical responsibility! If any of you don't want to choose us, I respect that decision. When you've completed your studies, the doors of Hurricane will always be open for you. Thank you!"
A round of applause erupted from the audience.
After Lu Feng stepped down, the principal went on stage again and said a few words. Everyone present was given an interest form. Those who wanted to go could fill out the form and then hand it to the staff of Hurricane Semiconductor.
Lu Feng was afraid that other companies would poach his talent, so as long as they filled out the form, he would take them to a local five-star hotel that same day, providing them with food and lodging, and giving them some basic training.
"Mr. Lu, the people for the afternoon session have arrived," Wei Yandan said in a low voice as she walked over.
Lu Feng looked toward the side door of the auditorium and saw about twenty people standing there, clearly having arrived some time ago.
"Which company? Didn't the school say we could choose first?" Lu Feng asked, frowning slightly.
"I just got a call from Beiling and Huawei. Huawei is poaching people everywhere. A group of people have already been recruited by Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications." Zhu Lidong said in a low voice, "Huawei has directly taken over the entire electronic engineering major at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. They want the whole discipline."
Lu Feng frowned upon hearing this and asked Zhu Lidong, "Are there any more flights to Beijing this afternoon?"
"No, our campus recruitment at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications is scheduled for tomorrow."
"Then let's go to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Mr. Wei, you stay here. The three of us will go to Chengdu." Lu Feng gave the instructions and walked outside.
Two people standing at the door walked over. One of them, a man in his forties, said, "Mr. Lu, I'm from Huawei's R&D center. Your speech was truly inspiring."
Lu Feng smiled at him and said, "President Yu, you're not bad either. I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"
The people from Beiling next to him greeted Lu Feng, exchanged a few polite words, and then Lu Feng got into his car and headed straight for the airport. He boarded a plane to Chengdu at 1:30 p.m.
After getting off the plane, the group went straight to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. The process was the same for everyone. Liu Cheng was the first to talk about professional knowledge, career planning, cooperation with international companies, and Hurricane Semiconductor's major projects. Then Zhu Lidong went up to talk about benefits, salary, treatment, and bonuses.
At 5 p.m., the recruitment for the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China was finally completed. The most luxurious hotel in the area, Minshan Hotel, was booked that day, and training began the next day.
That evening, Lu Feng spoke with Wei Yandan on the phone. The two schools had recruited a total of 375 students, which was a very good result.
The problem is that they were still too slow. On the same day, Huawei, Belling and other companies snapped up all the spots at Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing Institute of Technology and Tsinghua University.
Lu Feng decided on the phone that he couldn't slow down any longer. Sending a large group of people would indeed show that he was taking it seriously, but it would also be slow. These students were relatively naive and didn't know much. Whoever went to grab people first, they would follow. After all, everyone was offering about the same salary.
That night, Lu Feng divided his team into four, with one person leading one team, and they went to Zhejiang University, Fudan University, Southeast University, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University respectively, trying to secure some of these four schools first.
As the competition for graduates in electronic information engineering intensifies, the media is reporting on it extensively, with reports of high salaries making countless parents of high school students envious.
Along with electronic information engineering, computer science also saw a surge in demand for graduates, and software engineering also reached its peak that year, with related majors being snapped up.
On June 25, 1997, Hurricane Semiconductor's campus recruitment officially ended. While other companies used sleeper trains to bring in people, Lu Feng suggested spending more money to have them all fly and set up a talent reserve center in Hong Kong.
