Chapter 359 Company secrets, inconvenient to disclose

After sending the person away, Zhou Buqi's face was not very good-looking, "What's going on?"

"Guo Pengfei said it's hard to dismiss, Professor Tian is the vice president."

"Um?"

"It seems... you wait, I'll let him come over and talk to you!"

Guan Ting said she didn't quite understand, so she ran away in a hurry.

After a while, Guo Pengfei came over and asked with a smile, "Sent away?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily, "What nonsense!"

Guo Pengfei laughed and said: "Mobile CD-ROM, very creative, it's made... It's the world's first technology."

"Is this also called creativity? Don't talk about it!"

"Don't underestimate it. There is still a market for mobile optical drives. After many computers have a virus, they can only redo the system or restore backups through the optical drive. Some computers do not have optical drives to save costs."

Zhou Buqi naturally understood this truth.

Especially since netbooks become popular, thin and light notebook computers cannot be equipped with optical drives, and many users who need them will buy external optical drives.

But what kind of business is this? What kind of science and technology?

The deputy dean of the School of Computer Science of a famous university led a team to do such a small thing? Is there any technical content? Want to apply for the National Natural Science Fund?

Guo Pengfei said: "You know the USB flash drive, right?"

"What's wrong?"

"U disk is our country's patent."

"What?"

"Let's put it this way, a few years ago, the U disk came out, and many companies claimed to be the inventors of the U disk. Including Netac in China, MS in Israel, Trek in Singapore, etc. In our country, Netac has won the Patent rights. However, in the international arena, there have been lawsuits. But just last year, Netac won a big victory and was officially authorized by the US Patent Office, confirming that Netac is the world's first inventor of the U disk. This is the first patent in the field of computer storage in our country in 20 years."

Zhou Buqi's expression became serious.

This is a national issue.

In the past few years, after the country joined the WTO, some low-end products such as gloves and socks were exported to the outside world. Not to mention the suspected dumping, it also brought a very negative image to Chinese manufacturing. Moreover, in order to take care of our local enterprises, the degree of market opening is limited, and we have not fully fulfilled the foreign commitments we made when we joined the WTO.

So in the past few years, the leaders have been working very hard to maintain the image of the country, spending a lot of money, supporting Lenovo, hosting the Olympic Games, and so on. Any project that has the potential to enhance the country's image will be given high priority.

U disk patent, is elated.

Guo Pengfei went on to say: "After the U-disk got the international patent, the country gave a lot of money. This is not counted. In recent years, many foreign companies have produced U-disk without Netac's authorization, which is suspected of infringement. Then After that, Netac can continue to sue, and at least bring back tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange.”

Zhou Buqi narrowed his eyes and said with emotion: "Yes, these years, foreign companies have been accusing us of infringing their patents and stealing their technology. With Netac, we have won back this tone."

Guo Pengfei said: "The technical difficulty of mobile optical drives should not be too difficult. The key is creativity. Who can grab this patent first."

"Then why are you looking for us?"

"Patented technology needs to be promoted in the market. Otherwise, what if there is only technology but no market? Professor Tian should have taken a fancy to the marketing ability of Xiaonei. Moreover, I heard that Professor Tian is not the only academic leader who applied for this project. If you connect to the school intranet, you will be more likely to get project funds. It’s done, this is the honor of Beike, and the school also supports it.”

"A good academic circle must intrigue and get mixed up with those smoky things." Zhou Buqi said coldly, "We will not participate, and the academy will not do it under pressure. The reason why the U disk can be made is because it is really easy to use. The market just needs it. What is a portable optical drive? Pure nonsense."

Guo Pengfei hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Senior Wang Bo's tone...is quite tough."

Zhou Buqi felt that he had heard a joke.

As a result, the next day, Wang Bo came again, and brought a message from Professor Tian, ​​saying that over the past year, the school network has received strong support from the college, from equipment, office space, to broadband information fees and various other things. Policy Support. Now that the Xiaonei network has grown up, it no longer needs to occupy the resources of the college, and should leave the resources of the college to those who need it more.

"Oh, okay." Guan Ting nodded.

"Oh, okay." Roche nodded.

"Oh, okay." Guo Pengfei nodded.

Everyone looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with them.

Wang Bo was a little dumbfounded, he was stunned for a while, then lowered his voice, and said kindly: "It's not that there is no room for maneuver..."

Guo Pengfei said with a relaxed smile: "The intranet has grown, so there is no need to continue occupying the college's resources. How about this, we will move out next semester and work at the Tsinghua Science and Technology Park."

...

At this time, Zhou Buqi went to Dongfang Weidian.

Wang Haoyang has already designed a preliminary financial system.

Employees at all levels of the company are divided into 10 levels, divided into technical posts and management posts.

The management post is represented by the initial letter M of Manager.

M10 is the highest level, corresponding to the chairman, M9 is the vice chairman, CEO and president, M8 is the executive vice president, M7 is the senior vice president, M6 is the vice president, M5 is the senior director, M4 is the director, M3 is a senior manager, M2 is a manager, and M1 is a supervisor.

The technical post is represented by the initial letter T of Technology.

From bottom to top, they are T1 junior programmers, T2 intermediate programmers, T3 senior programmers, T4 experts, T5 senior experts, T6 senior experts, T7 researchers, T8 senior researchers, T9 senior researchers, T10 scientists, and T11 senior scientists.

Junior programmers are part-time students, with a salary of 1,500-2,500 yuan; intermediate programmers are fresh undergraduates, with a salary of 5,000-8,000 yuan.

The senior programmers of T3 began to have a fork in the road. They were either fresh graduate students or promoted to T2 with excellent performance, and their salary would reach 10,000 yuan. At the same time, T3 corresponds to the management post M1.

Such a table design is not difficult, and almost all major Internet companies do it this way.

"Is this salary too high? M8's monthly salary is more than 100,000?"

Zhou Buqi is very dissatisfied with this salary table.

This is not nonsense!

How do you survive with such a high salary? It's not a mature big company, but Ziweixing is a start-up company that's only a little over a year old.

Wang Haoyang quickly said: "I just imitated the salary table built by Sina's financial system, and the current employee positions don't need to be so high when they come up. For example, Guo Pengfei from Xiaonei.com, Zhang Yiming from Friends.com, their positions can be M3. Group buying, game projects The person in charge of the team can be M2, the team is not big, and the position does not need to be so high when it comes up."

Zhou Buqi took another look.

The monthly salary of M3 is 15,000-20,000 yuan, and the monthly salary of M2 is 12,000-15,000 yuan... Well, this is much more reasonable.

After moving to Sohu Building, the salary system must be formalized, and the expenditure will increase.

With the expansion of business, Zhang Yiming, Guo Pengfei and others can be promoted slowly from M3 to M8 step by step. As they are promoted, more job space will be released, and the subordinates will have the motivation to be promoted.

If the bottom employees want to get promoted, they must do a good job in the project and let the superiors be promoted, so as to leave room for promotion for themselves. The incentive mechanism is also reflected.

but……

Zhou Buqi glanced at Wang Haoyang, "What level are you?"

Wang Haoyang twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a while.

He came from Sina at the beginning, and his salary not only did not decrease, but also increased, with an annual salary of 1.5 million! More than 100,000 yuan per month!

In such a salary system, it is the M8 level, isn't that ridiculous?

5 grades higher than Zhang Yiming, Ji Zian, and Guo Pengfei?

"Speak?" Zhou Buqi looked at him calmly.

Wang Haoyang took a deep breath, "It stands to reason that I should be on the same level as Zhang Yiming and Ji Zian, both of whom are M3."

"Are you willing to cut your salary? To be honest, for a start-up company, a monthly salary of 100,000 is not logical."

"But they have stock."

Zhou Buqi smiled, "It seems that we can't get around this level, but we haven't activated it yet..."

"You can first sign the number of stocks and options that will be gifted." Wang Haoyang seemed to have thought about it a long time ago. "My requirements are not high. Aren't we going to recruit a chief human resources officer? My treatment conditions are the same as He can match."

For such high-level talents, to invite them to join start-ups with low salaries, options alone are not enough, and a large gift of stock is also required.

It's like when Google was first established, it invited industry tycoon Eric Schmidt to be the CEO, and directly gave 25% of the shares, only 5 points less than the two founders. Another example is Ali inviting Cai Congxin.

Fortunately, Ziweixing is no longer a start-up company, and has achieved extraordinary success. In the Internet to get a place.

Therefore, when inviting big bulls, the stocks given do not need to be so many.

Zhou Buqi thought for a while, and said: "Then do as you said, first sign the stock grant and option contract, and then actually grant the share after the share reform. The option... The number of shares is equal to the monthly salary, but it must be divided into two parts. 4 years of exercise, the exercise price is only 1 cent, which does not take advantage of employees."

That is to say, if it is an employee of M3 with a monthly salary of 20,000, he can spend 200 US dollars to buy 20,000 option stocks from the company within 4 years.

Wang Haoyang was not satisfied, "A gift?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at him and said lightly, "Is 10 million option shares enough?"

"Is it also a 4-year exercise?"

"Can."

Wang Haoyang was quite satisfied, and asked again, "How many shares does our company have in total?"

Zhou Buqi laughed: "This is a company secret, so it is inconvenient to disclose it."
