Incorporate patent R&D into the KPI assessment of the R&D department!

Directly linked to performance and year-end bonus!

Zhu Changlin's coquettish operation almost made Wang Yi unable to stand up.

As an employee, Wang Yi wants to say: You are really not a human being, you are a black-hearted leader!

But as the boss, Wang Yi wants to say: Well done, Lao Zhu, Xingyi Technology is short of outstanding senior executives like you!

And this is completely reliable.

The year-end bonus of the mobile phone R&D department is the highest and easiest to get.

How to develop mobile phones is decided by Wang Yi. They only need to implement it and improve the details.

It's so happy to be able to get a 3-6 month year-end bonus so easily, even other departments think it's unfair.

Wang Yi nodded: "Lao Zhu, you have a good idea. It is indeed too easy to get the performance of the mobile phone R&D department. Not surprisingly, this year's year-end award is still S-level. This is unfair to other departments and must be changed."

"As for how to change..." Wang Yi thought for a while: "It can't just change the mobile phone R&D department, but the entire R&D department of Xingyi Technology."

"In the future, the year-end awards for each R&D department of Xingyi Technology will be divided into two parts, the performance year-end award + the patented technology breakthrough award!"

"The performance year-end bonus is an ordinary year-end bonus, just like the current BAT, with a maximum cap of three months."

"There is no upper limit for the technological breakthrough award. Whether it is a major technological breakthrough, a patent breakthrough, or an invention breakthrough, you can get a reward of 1-N months depending on the gold content. If you obtain a major technological breakthrough, you can get a bonus of one million, or even

Five million will do!”

"To put it bluntly, Xingyi Technology is focused on R&D and patents!"

"As long as there is major research and development, as long as there are core patents, the technological breakthrough award will start in six months, plus the performance bonus at the end of the year, it will easily last more than eight months!"

"Even if it's just a general patent, as long as it's valuable, even if it's just a little bit, you can get a technology breakthrough award that starts in two months!"

"This measure must be arranged quickly."

"Yes!" Zhu Changlin responded decisively.

Soon, an internal letter spread throughout the company.

[Starting from 2012, the year-end awards of all R&D departments of Xingyi Technology will be comprehensively reformed, and the performance year-end awards will be capped for a maximum of three months. The new patented technology breakthrough award will have no cap.]

[General patent or low-level technological breakthrough, two-month patent technology breakthrough award.]

[Important patent or intermediate technology breakthrough, six-month patent technology breakthrough award.]

[Core patent or advanced technology breakthrough, ten-month patent technology breakthrough award.]

[Top-level patented or monopoly-level technological breakthroughs, starting with one million, promotion and salary increase, no cap!]

This internal letter quickly caused an uproar:

"The new policy reduces the performance year-end bonus and caps it for a maximum of three months. It adds a technological breakthrough award. The cap for the year-end bonus is higher, but it is also more difficult!"

"Yes, last year our mobile phone R&D department used to receive year-end bonuses of 3-6 months. This year it has changed. Those who are capable and have important patents or technological breakthroughs can receive year-end bonuses of nine months or even ten months.

.Those without patents or technological breakthroughs will receive a year-end bonus of up to three months!”

"To put it bluntly, those who are capable work harder. This is good, and it will stimulate our technological breakthroughs!"

"That is, the R&D department is not suitable for dawdling, so we should work on R&D and technology in a down-to-earth manner!"

"I like this kind of work. The more you work, the more you get. As long as you have a core patent or a high-level technological breakthrough, you can get a year-end bonus of hundreds of thousands, which is higher than your salary. Although it is difficult, it is worth it."

"Yes, some core patents cannot be obtained within a year, but during the research and development process, if you can win important patents first, you can also get a lot of year-end bonuses."

"Start today and work hard on research and development!"

"It is difficult to rectify the core patents, and if the general patents cannot be rectified, then I will not survive."

…

In the past, without the temptation of technological breakthrough awards, many people had ideas but lacked motivation.

Now, under the temptation of bonuses of 100,000, 100,000, or even millions, everyone is excited, and they are all working hard on research and development.

More importantly, once there is a major research and development breakthrough, getting money is just a trivial matter, but the status, popularity, and position will be greatly improved.

The simplest thing is that those who have made major R&D breakthroughs or patent breakthroughs will definitely be given priority for future promotions and salary increases.

Without these, all efforts to make camp will be in vain.

Wang Yi's attitude is very clear, and all strength speaks for itself.

The strength of a business department depends on sales volume, market share, and profits.

The strength of the R&D department depends on R&D results, technological breakthroughs, patent breakthroughs, and invention breakthroughs.

Nothing else works.

At the same time, Toshiba headquarters.

CEO Taichi Ohashi personally met with Apple Xia Country President Cui Hao: "It is my honor to welcome President Cui to Toshiba."

"Ohashi-kun is serious. Apple and Toshiba have always been strategic partners. Naturally, they should move around more."

"Cui Jun is right! Toshiba is willing to be a staunch ally of Apple, and we also hope that Apple can give us more storage orders to Toshiba in the future. We will never let your company down."

Taichi Ohashi looked a little complicated.

Toshiba and Apple originally cooperated very well, and the flash memory for iPhone 4 was basically supplied by Toshiba.

But with this generation of iPhone 4s, Apple suddenly changed its attitude and directly changed its flash memory supplier.

More than 80% of the flash memory orders were given to Hynix of Bangzi country. Less than 20% was left for Toshiba!

This change hit Toshiba hard, with revenue and profits falling rapidly.

Fortunately, the Xingyi mobile phone came out and the sales of xphone 1 surged, which saved Toshiba flash memory.

If Xingyi Mobile did not buy Toshiba flash memory in large quantities, Toshiba's future would be worrying.

It can be said that Taichi Ohashi both loves and hates the iPhone!

I hate Apple for abandoning Toshiba, but I also want a huge deal from Apple.

This is the feeling that the entire supply chain has towards Apple, much like the concubine of an ancient emperor.

He was resentful that the emperor loved the new and disliked the old, but he also enthusiastically competed for his favor!

"I understand what Mr. Daqiao means, and so does the chairman." Cui Hao picked up the tea cup and said meaningfully:

"But what Apple needs are strategic allies who will stand firmly on Apple's side and support Apple. Such allies are Apple's partners and can win Apple's super big orders."

"This..." Tai Qiao's expression changed slightly, understanding what Cui Hao meant.

Could it be that they, Toshiba, are being asked to choose sides between Xingyi Technology and Apple?

Choose one of the two, so overbearing?

If so, that would be big trouble!

Seeing that Taichi Ohashi did not express his position directly, Cui Hao was a little unhappy:

"Ohashi-kun, could it be that Toshiba has a disdain for Apple and doesn't want to be Apple's strategic partner?"

"Cui Jun, you are serious." Tai Qiao's face changed sharply and he said quickly:

"Toshiba is naturally willing to be Apple's strategic partner, but businessmen have to pay attention to goodwill. After the initial five million sets of memory + flash memory, Toshiba signed a five million set and a ten million set with Xingyi Technology.

It’s really not good to break the contract halfway... How about waiting until this cooperation ends?"

"Ohashi-kun, are you kidding me?"

Cui Hao was so angry that he laughed: 'Made, five million + five million + ten million, a total of 20 million sets!'

'After your cooperation is over, how can we cut off supply to Xingyi Technology? How can we curb the sales of Xphone 1?'

"Cui Jun, businessmen must value credibility, we..."

Taichi Ohashi wanted to explain, but was interrupted directly by Cui Hao:

"Ohashi-kun, this rhetoric is meaningless. You know the current relationship between Apple and Xingyi Technology. It's either Xingyi Technology or Apple. It's impossible for both parties to benefit from Toshiba."

"If Toshiba returns from its lost ways and gives up its cooperation with Xingyi Technology, half of the next iPhone 4s storage orders will be given to Toshiba!"

"If not, then Toshiba won't even think about Apple's order!"

"I..." Tai Qiao looked extremely sad.

What are you afraid of? What are you coming for?

Cui Hao stood up and patted Taiyi Ohashi on the shoulder: "Mr. Ohashi, Apple or Xingyi Technology? You are a smart man and know how to choose!"

"This...well, this is a serious matter. Please give me some time to think about it, Mr. Cui."

Cui Hao looked at his watch: "It's ten o'clock in the morning, I'll give you four hours."

"Thanks."

After seeing off Cui Hao, Taiqiao Tai's face turned pale to the extreme, and a high-level meeting was immediately held:

"The president of Apple's Xiaguo region just came and asked Toshiba to choose between Apple and Xingyi Technology."
