Schweic has been extremely busy these past two days, because his president has been busy with big things again.
The existence of PS3 was only circulated within a certain range, but the news that "Holy Light" wanted to invest 30 billion US dollars in the semiconductor industry swept the country like a tsunami.
Ordinary people don't understand semiconductors, but they are very sensitive to money.
In today's society, 10,000 soft girl coins are a huge amount of money, and the unit of "hundred million" is an astronomical figure that ordinary people cannot even imagine. After repeatedly making waves, the 'Holy Light' once again shocked the world.
Not two minutes after he sat down at work, Schweic's mobile phone rang. He frowned in distress, but still answered the call and called out 'hello'.
"Lao Shi." An enthusiastic voice came from the phone, with an audible smile.
The caller was from Shiwei's classmate in Magic City, the same classmate who had called him out from the mountains of Guizhou before and sold his head to the Holy Light for two hundred yuan. He had to remember the friendship between him and the other person.
"Lao Shi, I heard that your group is going to launch a big project. 30 billion US dollars invested in semiconductors?" The classmate's tone sounded like he didn't care about the good thing, but in reality he was sour, "Is this true?"
Schweich has received no fewer than fifty or sixty similar calls, all asking the same question. He replied softly: "Yes, the group has this plan.
I have been talking to Mitsui before, but Mitsui said it was okay in words, but actually refused to agree. Our president is probably too angry, so he just wants to invest in China."
Tsk, tsk, tsk..., the classmates' smacking sounds came from the phone, "'Holy Light' is really amazing, how come you are so rich? I want to ask something, how much salary do you get every month now?
"
Schweic had a headache. Almost everyone would ask him this question, which made it difficult for him to answer, "When I first joined the company last year, my monthly salary was one thousand."
Although one thousand is too much, it is still acceptable.
"What now?" the classmate asked.
"Now, oh... why do you ask this?" Schweic just didn't want to say it.
"Let me tell you, everyone knows that the salary offered by 'Holy Light' is high, which makes me envious." The classmate still wanted to ask.
Schweic sighed, "I just passed the competency assessment last month and got the certificate of senior information engineer. Adding up all the salary and performance allowances for a month, it's about three thousand US dollars."
"Three thousand...three thousand...dollars?!"
The classmate’s voice exploded on the phone, shouting as fiercely as tearing his chest apart. This was not only ‘envy’, but also ‘jealousy and hatred’.
"Your group actually issued U.S. dollars? Three thousand U.S. dollars, which is about the same based on the current foreign exchange rate..."
The classmate yelled "almost" several times, and the sound of rapid calculator keys was heard on the phone. After a while, a trembling voice came out, "Sixteen thousand five hundred yuan. God, how can you make so much?"
Sigh... Shiwei didn't expect that he could get so much. But the group wanted to give it, and he couldn't push it out, so he could only explain:
"The group has hired many foreign experts, from Russia and Japan, who are all very capable. In order to retain people, the salaries are calculated in US dollars. In fact, not many can get three thousand US dollars, and most of them only get one thousand US dollars.
Five hundred dollars.
But the group implements equal pay for equal work, so my position and ability determine that I get so much. In fact, I usually get soft money."
It was okay not to explain. After the explanation, Schweic could hear clear heavy breathing coming from the phone.
After a while, the classmate said with a sigh: "If I had known this, I should have resigned and gone to the Holy Light. Now I really regret it."
Schweic knows this feeling very well. He has heard it too much in the past two days. As long as he knows that his classmates, friends and colleagues in the "Holy Light" have called to inquire, no one can maintain a peaceful mind.
A year and a half ago, Schweic came out of the mountains of Guizhou, and the one thousand yuan given by the group for travel expenses felt like a huge sum of money. But now he gets the same salary as experts hired from abroad, and his income belongs to the absolute top class in the country.
After a long silence on the phone, the classmate asked in a feeble tone: "The unit I'm working in now is in a terrible state. There are eight people in the department, and I'm the only one who works, and I'm the one who takes the blame.
Half a year ago, I was going through the procedures to go abroad, sold all my houses, and already made arrangements for a place to stay.
I originally wanted to say hello to you and go abroad to have a good time. But with your situation, it would be a lie to say that I am not envious. Who would be willing to go abroad if I didn’t have to? The foreign country didn’t even give me three thousand dollars a month.
Woolen cloth.
Mr. Shi, do you have anything you can give me? I will listen to whatever you say now. Give me a way, I would be very grateful."
Schweic said "hmm" for a while, then said in a deep voice: "I really have some information to share. Have you read the latest issue of "Holy Light Economic Weekly"?"
"I've heard that it's a business magazine, but I've never read it."
"Look for the latest issue. There is a list of semiconductor cooperation needs published by the group. I remember that your master's degree was in chemical engineering, so you should know about electronic gases.
The domestic electronic gas industry is very weak and the technical level is low. If you can recruit a group of people to start a company, write a specific development roadmap and submit it to the group's venture capital department, an initial investment of one million US dollars is very possible.
"
oh.....
"One million? US dollars?!" The classmate's tone immediately improved, and he asked in disbelief: "As long as I attract people, your group will invest money in me?"
"You have to prove your ability. It's best to ask more people in the industry for help. At the same time, ask the venture capital department. The department may provide special technical support for such domestic weak links."
Electronic gas is a small but unavoidable branch of the semiconductor industry. It requires high purity, large flow rate, and extraordinary technical level.
For example, ordinary ammonia requires a purity of "seven to nine" or even "nine to nine". With such high requirements, no deviation is allowed in the production process.
There are countless similar industries in the semiconductor industry, so this industry is very complex and very long. Mitsui is naturally unwilling to sell this industry chain that can bring huge profits to ‘Holy Light’.
After listening to Shiwei's suggestion, the classmate quickly said "hmm" and said that he would immediately find a copy of "Holy Light Economic Weekly" to read. Then he thanked him profusely and hung up the phone.
Schweich wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if fighting a battle. He could imagine that the group's heavy investment would inevitably trigger a frenzy of domestic attention to the semiconductor industry. In the next few years, this industry will be hot.
"Mr. Zhou is really good at using the media."
On Schweic's desk is the latest group internal newsletter, which contains a unified propaganda slogan. According to internal instructions, 'Holy Light' employees are obliged to help the group with external publicity.
The newsletter clearly stated that group employees can report their income to the outside world to let society know how profitable the semiconductor industry is.
Schweich bets that in the next few years, the number of domestic college students applying for similar majors will increase several times. Everyone wants to make tens of thousands of dollars a month. Those are really magical days.
"Oh, this is such a stark contrast." Schweic said to himself, "Obviously the level of domestic semiconductor-related industries is very poor, but this heat is as dazzling as an exploding supernova.
There are always some smart people among a billion people. As long as these people can be gathered together, no matter how difficult the task is, we can accomplish it. At least I, a classmate like me, don’t have to go abroad."
