“Fine, I already know what this is about just by you opening your mouth. Tell me, what kind of talent do you need? I’ll go find them for you. However, I don’t know how Liang Jingru and the others work; I only know they are experts in this field. As for how you’re going to tame them, that’s your business. After all, you’re a boss yourself — you can’t have nothing to do.”
Hearing Bai Ningbing introduce the talent, he immediately nodded in agreement. When it came to winning people over, he had never once lost.
Because the people here did not fit his management style at first, it was very simple for him. As long as you could pass his test within a certain timeframe, your benefits would be no different from the others. Wasn’t that a huge temptation? The employees serving under him all praised his management style.
Regardless of whether it was company matters or other areas.
They provided the best in the industry, no matter who the person was.
Even if you had a criminal record, it did not matter, so long as your skills could pass the assessment.
The best rewards would await you, so those things were not an issue at all. However, there was one major problem: if your heart was not honest, the company would not give you many resources, let alone a salary. Not only would you have consumed company resources, but if you were dishonest and deceived the company after they provided free training, it was already generous of them not to demand compensation.
The most oblivious people were those who did something wrong yet still demanded a salary. That was a bit backward.
This was why he could tame everyone until they were as obedient as corpses. It was not just because the pay was high; it was even more than that. High pay was one thing, but his various benefits were incredibly enticing.
For example, he could offer things that others could not.
Could he really provide them?
The question was spot on. Of course he could. For other bosses, if their income did not cover their expenses, the first thing they did was look at the employees’ salaries. But with him, it was different. He would not look at how much the employees were making; instead, he would doubt whether his product was well-made and tell the employees to improve it. That was the priority, because if you exploit an employee’s salary, forcing them from their initial height to the bottom, the psychological drop is unimaginably large.
And thus, they will not do a good job for you; that is human nature.
Because the gap is too large, they would feel that since you suddenly cut profits and salaries by so much, something is bound to go wrong in the future. The people following you and those loyal to you would dwindle. This is the simplest philosophy and psychology of human nature.
But there are exceptions. If you raise salaries very high and execute projects exceptionally well, they will see the prospects. The second scenario is when the salary is high but the project profit is not. Even then, those employees will not say anything; they will still work hard for you. Therefore, it is inevitable that they will work their lives away for you because they have received their pay. Is working hard not only natural? However, once you cut their pay, they will not think that way anymore because they will feel the company is doomed sooner or later.
When salaries start to get suppressed, anyone would think the company is going under. Any normal person would know this, because a normal company certainly would not squeeze its employees’ wages.
If you squeeze their pay, they will think your capital chain has a problem, causing instability in parts of the company, and the shareholders will be affected as well.
“But then again, I’m actually very optimistic about our boss’s Ecosphere project. If I had the money, I’d want to invest in it too, because the profits are quite high. I once calculated the potential revenue after this Ecosphere is developed. Holy crap, the returns are practically endless! Right now, everyone’s consensus is clear; they see the direction of our future goals, because a single Ecosphere project can generate millions in revenue once it’s up and running. In the long run, your income will be a steady stream!”
No one knew if he was telling the truth, but even if he was, they had no way to invest. If he was lying, they still could not invest. The reason was simple: to invest, they had to put up the corresponding money, and they did not have that kind of wealth. There was no way around it.
So they could only think about it secretly since they lacked the funds to invest. They could only work their lives away. However, if they could complete this project, they would be considered famous figures in the future. If their resumes stated they had once developed a dual-platform system, who knows how many companies would be fighting to hire them? Besides, engineers capable of developing an Ecosphere would not be fired by a company because their skills were top-notch and their treatment was among the highest in the company. Aside from the general manager and management, the technical department had the highest salaries. Because the Ecosphere project was so demanding, hair loss was common, and staying up late was even more frequent.
Therefore, it was normal for their salaries to be higher to give them some subsidies. Since the launch of the Ecosphere project, technical staff often stayed late for overtime, so providing them with some benefits was part of the plan. These benefits came in the form of cold, hard cash because only money could stimulate an employee’s drive. Other things like food only provided a bit of emotional encouragement. But if they saw money, they would know that doing this work came with extra cash. Why would they not be happy to do it?
Lin Guanqi was currently stuffing red envelopes because he decided to provide some benefits to these hardworking technical personnel. Of course, these benefits were not uniform for everyone. He would distribute them based on one’s contribution to the team. For example, if you solved a difficult problem for the project, fine, you could get 50,000 yuan. If you did not solve a problem but assisted, you could get 20,000 yuan. If you did nothing at all, you could still get 10,000 yuan. This was a very respectable attitude.
