20X0, July.
Back to China.
They returned to the northwest desert region of Z country.
Xing Hai Technologies had contracted 500,000 square kilometers of desert land. Their transformation speed was faster and more efficient.
Xing Hai Technologies had been continuously transforming the 50,000 square kilometers of desert in the northeast corner of the Taklamakan Desert for seven years.
With countless inputs.
A large amount of incredible technology was applied.
A miracle happened.
A few years ago, the desert was barren. Now, it was covered with forests, grasslands, flowing streams, birds singing, and fragrant flowers … What filled his eyes was the monotonous yellow of the past, but now, it was a slightly monotonous green.
"It has completely reached the standard suitable for human survival, and the pollution index is very small, which is beneficial to your health."
After testing the composition of water, air, and soil, the United Nations Environment Programme gave its evaluation.
That being the case.
Let's move to the Desert Reconstruction Area.
Xing Hai Technologies' dozens of research centers, laboratories, a large number of equipment, and tens of thousands of employees could be transferred to the long-completed "Technology City No. 1," which covered an area of more than 100 square kilometers.
Moreover, Xing Hai Technologies' transfer arrangements were very simple. It was completely linked to housing prices.
The first batch of houses to be transferred were those with an average price of over 100,000 yuan per square meter.
Surrounding properties with an average price of more than 80,000 yuan per square meter will be transferred to the second batch.
Surrounding properties with an average price of more than 50,000 yuan per square meter will be transferred in the third batch.
As for the surrounding housing prices that did not exceed 50,000 yuan, they would not consider moving for now.
Refer to this standard.
Xing Hai Technologies' research institutions and office centers in first-tier cities such as Shang Hai City, Su Hong City, Shen Zhen City, Di Du City, Hang Cheng City, and Yang Cheng City were all included in the transfer list.
The difference was that some of them were the first to move, while others were the second and third.
But all of them would be transferred.
This was especially true in Shang Hai. Xing Hai Technologies had 12 large research centers, five office centers, hundreds of corporate laboratories, and nearly 100,000 employees. Except for a small number of employees who stayed behind, the rest were given priority to transfer.
They were transferred to the Northwest Desert Reconstruction Area more than 3,000 kilometers away.
Xing Hai Technologies rented 10 large passenger planes and 10 large cargo planes. They transported people and goods day and night. With the efficiency of transferring more than 2,000 employees and more than 1,000 tons of goods every day, they left the cosmopolitan city of Shang Hai.
At this rate, the transfer would be completed in about three months.
* Hua … *
Although it was not disclosed to the public, Xing Hai Technologies' actions still alarmed the media, causing panic and shock.
All kinds of shocking headlines attracted people's attention —
"Xing Hai Technologies' Flees' Shang Hai Overnight"
"Stop Xing Hai Technologies, they are retreating at lightning speed."
"Without Xing Hai Technologies, the city of Shang Hai will immediately dim."
"Hehe, congratulations on the housing price. You win."
The majority of netizens did not find this surprising:
"180,000 per square meter in the city center, and 80,000 to 100,000 in the suburbs outside the Fifth Ring Road. Hehe, which high-tech company wouldn't run away with such prices?"
"Xing Hai Technologies is also caught in its own trap. Ten years ago, it proposed the concept of 'absolute wages' and promised that the company would bear the rent for its employees. As a result, Xing Hai Technologies became a sucker in the eyes of those landlords. The rent increased crazily, especially for the houses around Xing Hai Technologies. Even the rent for a simple two-bedroom house with a living room was $10,000 per month. This was considered cheap."
"I've heard speculators shout, 'The reasonable housing price in Shang Hai should be $200,000 per square meter because Xing Hai Technologies is in this city.' Hehe, I wonder if he still has the guts to shout this now."
"Xing Hai Technologies is not a sucker. It won't pay for their speculative behavior. If they provoke Xing Hai Technologies, they will move directly into the desert. I used to think that it was impossible, but in the end, they really did it. Absolutely, absolutely!"
"What I'm more curious about is how did Xing Hai Technologies convince tens of thousands of employees to get on a plane and agree to work in the northwest desert? How did Xing Hai Technologies do it? "
"I'm also very curious. If it were me, if I were asked to leave my friends and family, leave the bustling environment I'm most used to, and go to work in the desert thousands of kilometers away, where life is far less convenient than in Shang Hai, and education and other supporting facilities are not complete, I would rather resign than go because I can't get used to it at all."
"You're too full of yourself. The treatment of Xing Hai Technologies is one or two grades better than that of civil servants and employees of state-owned enterprises. Who would be willing to give up such good treatment? If it were me, I would only follow the arrangements. "
"In fact, most of the employees of Xing Hai Technologies are not locals of Shang Hai. They are migrant workers. Coming to Shang Hai to work is similar to going to the northwest desert. Changing places of work has little impact on them."
"No! That's not accurate! The impact on most people is actually very great. Over the past decade or so, most of those who have joined Xing Hai Technologies for more than three years have the ability to buy a house in Shang Hai, settle down, and even bring their wives, children, and parents over. At least more than 50% of Xing Hai Technologies' employees have become people of Shang Hai. Most of them have been transferred to the northwest desert. They may not be willing to leave. "
"For the time being, it is unknown how Xing Hai Technologies dispels the concerns of its employees."
The real reason for solving this problem was actually very simple.
Chen Jin proposed three solutions:
One, the entire family could migrate to "Technology City No. 1." Xing Hai Technologies would provide free housing, arrange jobs for the family members of the employees, and build professional kindergartens, schools, and hospitals. The facilities were very complete. They would not feel much inconvenience.
Two, they could choose the "fortnightly work rotation system." Employees would work in Shang Hai this week, take a flight to the Technology City the next week, and return to Shang Hai the week after that.
Three, they could work completely freely. Under this working model, employees did not need to go to the company, nor did they need to go to the Technology City. They could work at home every day as long as they completed the tasks assigned by the company. It was just that the remuneration was linked to the number of tasks completed. The more they worked, the more they would get, the less they would get, and if they did not work, they would not get paid. The relevant benefits would also be reduced. They would become "freelancers."
This was more suitable for groups like "programmers."
It was just that most of the Xing Hai Technologies employees still chose the first or second plan. Very few chose the last plan.
There were only a few employees who could not accept all three plans and could not stay in Shang Hai. In the end, there were only a few employees who resigned.
The overall process of the transfer went very smoothly.
But some people panicked. They were in a panic.
They called Chen Jin one after another.
"President Chen, don't go, please don't go!"
"We will also provide some tax concessions. We will give a 40% discount on land rent! As for housing prices, we have introduced countless countermeasures and firmly suppressed them. I guarantee that not only will housing prices not rise next year, they will fall by at least 5%. In order to protect the real economy, we have done our best! "
"President Chen, don't go. Please believe in our determination and ability!"
Uh …
Chen Jin was silent for a while and said, "I believe what you said. Whether it falls by 5% or breaks 200,000, it's all up to you. So, don't call me anymore. I won't keep you company."
…
Three months later.
The transfer of the first batch of personnel and equipment was completed. Xing Hai Technologies had its first core stronghold in the northwest desert.
Due to the cheap land and a large number of directly affiliated farms, pastures, and fish ponds, the products were abundant and of good quality. It was completely sufficient for internal digestion.
The rows of foreign-style villas in the Technology City were also owned by Xing Hai Technologies.
80,000 Xing Hai Technologies employees and more than 200,000 relatives. The related expenses of clothing, food, housing, and transportation were all reduced by an unknown amount.
The financial situation of Xing Hai Technologies suddenly improved a lot.
The only price to pay was that the housing prices in Shang Hai, which had always been very strong, plummeted by 15% in three months. The real estate investment circle was in chaos. Even Chen Jin did not expect that the impact of Xing Hai Technologies' departure would be so great. It caused the value of Shang Hai's property market to evaporate by several trillion.
And then.
After the wage/price reform was carried out in Technology City No. 1 in the desert, another huge storm was set off.
The impact of this storm was even greater than the evacuation of Shang Hai at the speed of light!
