Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 281 Zhiyun's Inauguration Day

In November in Shenzhen, in a large conference room of a large enterprise, Wang Hua looked up at the company introduction information above, holding his briefcase in his hand, which contained his printed resume.

On his left and right, there were dozens of people in the conference room, just like him, waiting for interviews.

The entire conference room was crowded with a large number of young people who came from all over the country to pursue a new life and find jobs.

It was crowded and lively, but most of the people coming and going were anxious.

This also includes Wang Hua!
He has been in Shenzhen for more than two months, but he still hasn't found a suitable job. Although he doesn't have much financial pressure yet, it will not be a problem in the long run!

After Wang Hua waited in the large conference room for about an hour, it was finally his turn for the interview.

Although the waiting time for the interview is very long and this interview may not be successful, the future is full of unknown difficulties.

But even so, he did not regret quitting his previous job, because not only did that job only pay six or seven thousand, but it also had a foreseeable end to its career path, and there was absolutely no room for advancement!
He just graduated with a master's degree this year. His university is just a low-ranking 985 university, and there was no one to guide him when he was in college, so he studied economics, which is not very suitable for employment. Then he followed the routine to study for a master's degree in the same university, and studied the less popular international economics with his supervisor.

On weekdays, he seems to be researching some seemingly high-sounding topics... For example, the business models of several large American companies are his main research topics.

However, it is not easy to find a satisfactory job after graduation. Nowadays, few companies do overseas business. Even if there are, they don’t really need people like you who are more interested in macroeconomics. The overall employment scope is very small.

During the campus recruitment in the first half of the year, he went to a large enterprise, intending to start a career in their overseas business department, but things did not go well.

He was a person who worked in macroeconomics and international economics, but he was placed in the administrative department. He wrote various speech materials in the office every day and occasionally worked part-time as a translator.

So after working for a few months, he simply resigned... If he continued like this, he would be ruined.

The future can be seen at a glance, and there is no room for improvement at all.

It would be fine if it was abolished, but the salary and other benefits are not so good, I can't even lie down...

After resigning, he went south to Shenzhen to seek new opportunities. He had submitted many resumes online before and received interview invitations from some good companies.

I even received an interview invitation from the giant enterprise Zhiyun Group. I went for the interview and passed the first and second interviews smoothly. I had the final interview three days ago.

Although he felt that the interview process was pretty good, the interviewer had a stern face throughout and did not give him any extra hints. In addition, after the interview, he was just asked to go back and wait for the results as a routine matter.

This made him feel uneasy.

He did not regret it. It was very difficult to get into a super company like Zhiyun Group. The job seekers who participated in the final interview with him were all elites whose hard qualifications were no worse than his.

There were a lot of people who graduated from Peking University and Tsinghua University, Ivy League schools overseas, and top 985 universities. As a master's degree holder from a bottom-tier 985 university, he was not even considered a top elite among the job applicants at that time.

So even though the interview felt good at the time, Wang Hua still wasn't very confident.

Therefore, I continued to send my resume everywhere on the Internet for a few days, and also participated in a round of interviews at this large company today.

After entering the interview room, he briefly introduced himself and started chatting with the interviewer. The interviewer had a good attitude and chatted with him for about ten minutes. Then he said, "I personally have a very good impression of you. Your qualifications in all aspects can meet our job standards. However, our position involves overseas business, which is relatively complicated. Next week, we will organize the head of the overseas business department to come for a second interview. I hope you can come and participate then."

Wang Hua immediately thanked the interviewer and then left.

Just after the interview, Wang Hua took out a sip of mineral water, and at this time, the C5 mobile phone in his pocket rang.

When he took out his phone, his eyes suddenly lit up. The caller ID showed the number of the human resources specialist of Zhiyun Group whom he had contacted before.

He took a deep breath, then answered the phone and said, "Hello!"

Then, a sweet female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Wang Hua?"

Wang Hua said: "Yes, I am Wang Hua!"

The sweet girl on the phone continued: "Congratulations, you have passed the final interview of our Zhiyun Group Investment Department..."

The sweet voice of the HR specialist on the phone was still going on, but Wang Hua could no longer hear it clearly. His mind was a little dazed at this moment.

This interview was actually successful... I actually passed the interview among a group of elites from home and abroad and got the offer from Zhiyun Group.

This happiness came so suddenly that his mind exploded at once.

The HR specialist on the other end of the phone seemed to have experienced this situation before. After repeatedly stating many things to note, he heard no sound from the other end and immediately reminded, "Mr. Lin, I have sent the relevant information to your email. Please check it in time."

"Also, go for a physical examination in advance, get the physical examination report and relevant documents, and report to the reception hall at Gate No. 6 of the company on time at 9 a.m. three days later. Don't be late."

Wang Hua finally reacted, and then he suppressed his excitement and said, "Okay, thank you, Commissioner Li, thank you, I will report in advance in three days."

After hanging up the phone, his face was full of joy. He couldn't help jumping on the spot, clenching his fist in the air and making a "yeah" sound from his mouth, which attracted the attention of the job seekers who were also here for the interview.

But Wang Hua was really excited!

This was Zhiyun Group, and he was not interviewing for an ordinary clerical or logistical position, but for an investment analyst in the overseas investment department of Zhiyun Group.

Even for new employees in this kind of position, the monthly salary is more than 10,000 yuan during the probation period.

At this moment, the interviewer who had just interviewed him and invited him for a second round of interview came out. Seeing him like this, he greeted him and asked him if there was any good news.

Wang Hua suppressed his facial expression and said, "Just now, Zhiyun's HR specialist informed me that I passed the interview and got their offer. I'm afraid the second interviewer here has to say sorry!"

When the interviewer heard this, his expression immediately became complicated, but he finally said: "Congratulations, young man, seize the opportunity, it's not easy to get into Zhiyun!"

"Then remember my phone number. If you ever want to change your job or environment, you're welcome to contact me. Believe me, although our company's overseas business is not as big as Zhiyun's, it's also first-class. We are actively entering the ASEAN market recently. If you can come here, you will definitely have room to display your talents!"

Facing this talent who has been selected by Zhiyun, there is no need for a second interview or a final interview. If he is willing to give up the offer from Zhiyun, he dares to sign him on the spot and give him the best salary and other benefits.

Of course, he also believed that the other party would never agree to him!
That’s Zhiyun…who wouldn’t want to go!

Last year, I had the ambition to switch to Zhiyun and secretly submitted my resume several times. Unfortunately, Zhiyun didn't think highly of me... I didn't even get an interview invitation.

This is Zhiyun Group, one of the top companies in the world. It provides good treatment, status and platform.

The first priority for today’s outstanding young people looking for a job: if he is confident enough!

As for ordinary people, they basically don’t have this dream... If you can’t even meet the minimum educational requirements, there’s no point in dreaming.

Every year Zhiyun holds campus recruitment, and countless outstanding students from 211 and 985 try their best to get in. Although the number of recruitments seems to be large every year, there are even more people submitting resumes and interviewing, so the overall admission rate is quite low.

Especially for non-technical R&D positions, each one is more difficult to get into than the other.

Not to mention social recruitment, the competition is even more intense. In addition to regular graduates and experienced staff, there are also a large number of people who graduated from famous overseas universities and returned to seek jobs, and those who have work experience in overseas companies are competing for positions.

Some people describe the social recruitment for non-technical clerical positions at Zhiyun Group’s headquarters as the most perverted recruitment in the world.

It is a very typical case of high entry requirements and fierce competition in interviews.

Without a 211 undergraduate degree, you won’t even be able to pass the most basic resume preliminary screening... Without a solid resume, you won’t even have the opportunity to interview, and quite a few positions require a master’s degree or above, or even a doctorate.

It was actually quite difficult for Wang Hua to get an offer from the overseas investment department of Zhiyun Group headquarters.

Wang Hua was so excited that he couldn't help but call his parents on the way back to tell them the good news.

When his parents heard the news, they were very relieved and asked him to do a good job in the future. Then his mother transferred another 10,000 yuan to him, telling him to buy two sets of clothes.

Then, Wang Hua's father also transferred 5,000 yuan to him, saying that this was his private savings, and not to let your mother know about it. He should use the money to clean himself up and look more energetic.

Zhiyun is a top international company, so you have to dress well when you go to work, otherwise you will be embarrassed to hold your head up in front of your colleagues.

Even though the Wang family's parents are teachers and are considered cultured people, when faced with a top company like Zhiyun, they still couldn't help but have some unnecessary fantasies, fearing that their child would be embarrassed after half a year or would not cope well and be fired.

Because... to be honest, an enterprise of Zhiyun's level is too far away from ordinary people. The only contact between ordinary people and Zhiyun is to buy Zhiyun's products and use Zhiyun's services.

In their opinion, these types of companies are very high-end companies, with only the top elites coming in and out.

In daily life, if someone says that a child works at Zhiyun and is working in an office, the parents and neighbors will speak louder when they talk about it. In some small places, the news can spread far and wide.

Now that my son has successfully interviewed and got the job, this is a great thing. It is only natural to give him some money to buy him some clothes to go to work.

Wang Hua himself was actually a little nervous!
If he were a technician, he wouldn't have to worry about these things... Ordinary people outside know that Zhiyun is a high-tech enterprise oriented towards technology research and development, and it also attaches great importance to the various treatments of technical R&D personnel.

Although they are both low-level coders, those working in Zhiyun have higher incomes, shorter working hours, and more generous welfare benefits.

In addition, Zhiyun Group does not have any dress etiquette for technical personnel. As long as you do not violate moral standards or act weird and affect your colleagues, you can dress however you like.

But the problem is that Wang Hua is not a technician!

He is a civilian staff member, and there are some dress code regulations for civilian staff members, but they are relatively simple. As long as you don't wear shorts, it's no big deal.

However, when Wang Hua went to their investment department for the final interview, he saw that all the employees in these departments were dressed in professional attire. The men were mostly in dark suits, and the women were also mostly in professional attire. They all looked like a group of workplace elites...

With this mentality, Wang Hua went shopping in the mall for half a day that day. After comparing prices repeatedly, he bought two sets of black suits with good fabric texture, as well as corresponding leather shoes, shirts, ties, etc. at a relatively low price.

You know what, after he put this whole outfit on, coupled with his 1.83-meter tall stature, he looked pretty good.

The shopping guide lady next to me couldn't help but have her eyes light up.

----

Three days later, an online ride-hailing car stopped at Gate No. 6 of Zhiyun’s headquarters campus.

Then, Wang Hua, wearing a black suit, black leather shoes, a tie, and with his hair combed meticulously, came out of the taxi.

Then he took his shoulder bag and went to the reception hall of the human resources department next to Gate No. 6, and began to go through various entry procedures under the guidance of the staff.

Wang Hua discovered that there were quite a few people joining the company today, probably more than a hundred people, but most of them were probably newcomers to the technical department... Just by looking at their attire, you could tell that these technical personnel were all wearing ordinary casual clothes.

To be honest, this made him feel a little embarrassed in his suit and tie...

But he was not the only one who was embarrassed. There were more than 20 people present who were obviously clerical workers like him and were wearing suits and leather shoes. Some of the new female colleagues were even wearing high heels and stockings.

Another characteristic is that no matter how these people are dressed or what positions they hold, they are all graduates from domestic 985 universities or famous overseas universities. Not a single one graduated from an ordinary school.

not a single one!

The various onboarding procedures went smoothly, and Wang Hua soon received his employee card, which was not an ordinary paper card but an IC card similar to a bank card.

"The employee card is the access card for entering and exiting various places. It is also the card for clocking in and out of work. It is also the meal card you swipe when you go to the cafeteria to eat. So keep it well. If you lose it, report it immediately and apply for a new card."

"Also, our headquarters is large, and many places cannot be entered at will. Some office buildings have confidential projects, so except for the building of your own department, try not to go to other office buildings unless it is necessary for work... Of course, it's useless if you go. Each of you has the corresponding access control authority in your employee card, and you can't enter an office building that you are not supposed to enter."

The colleague from the Human Resources Department was still explaining various precautions, and then took them to identify the place.

More than a hundred people left the personnel hall at Gate No. 6 in several electric shuttle buses and then headed to the interior of the Zhiyun headquarters campus.

This was Wang Hua’s first time actually entering the Zhiyun headquarters. His previous interviews were all held in the personnel office building at Gate No. 6, and he had never entered the Zhiyun headquarters campus.

After entering, Wang Hua found that the headquarters park was really big... Even though he had looked up some special introductions on the Internet before, he already knew that Zhiyun's headquarters park was extremely large, but he didn't have a very intuitive feeling.

But when I actually came in and was in it, the feeling was so shocking.

Especially the six office buildings in front, all of which are skyscrapers dozens of stories high. If there is only one of these buildings in other places, it can serve as a landmark building, but there are as many as six of them here.

In addition to the six most conspicuous high-rise office buildings, there are also many lower office buildings. One of them is more than ten stories high and is not very eye-catching, which attracted the staff's introduction: "That's Building Y, which is the office building of our Intelligent Research Institute. This is the place I told you not to hang around downstairs. The security level over there is very high, so try not to get close to it!"

"But they have separate walls and gates over there. You can't get close without the corresponding permissions!"

As the vehicle continued driving, many places were introduced, which gave Wang Hua a general understanding of the office area of ​​the headquarters park.

The area is really huge. In addition to six skyscrapers and their supporting podiums, there are more than a dozen office buildings or laboratories that are more than ten stories high or just a few stories high. He even saw a supercomputing building inside.

According to the staff, this building is equipped with a supercomputer developed by the group itself, which uses the group's self-developed SOP instruction set chip and self-developed server architecture. When it was first completed last year, its computing power was ranked eighth in the world. This year, with the commissioning of some other supercomputers, its computing power ranking has declined, but Zhiyun Group also upgraded the technology of the supercomputer this year, and its comprehensive computing power can still rank among the top fifteen in the world.

This is already quite powerful for a supercomputing system built by a private enterprise mainly to meet its own various research and development needs.

Few companies would do what Zhiyun does and build their own supercomputer.

In fact, there is no other way for Zhiyun. There are too many R&D projects in Zhiyun, and quite a few of them require the use of supercomputers. Before, they had to apply for the use of some public supercomputers, but it was very troublesome. They had to queue up and apply for computing power resources.

Later, after the server chip with the SOP instruction set was developed, Zhiyun simply worked with supercomputing companies to develop and build its own supercomputer.

We initially built a small-scale experimental supercomputer. After the technology was successfully verified, we built a large-scale supercomputer system at our headquarters.

In this way, although the supercomputing system requires large investment and has high operating costs, it can well meet the supercomputing needs of various R&D projects under Zhiyun, including those of some sister companies.

Sometimes when we don’t need the computing power ourselves, some of the excess computing power will be supplied to some companies for use, so there is no need to worry about waste.

At the current moment of economic boom, the domestic demand for supercomputers is still very high. Many research projects need to wait in line for supercomputer power. Especially when some large projects need to squeeze a large amount of supercomputer resources, it often requires very complex and troublesome coordination and waiting.

Therefore, after Zhiyun Group built this first supercomputer, it is also planning to build a second one in the Yangtze River Delta depending on the situation. Whether it is used for its own use or to provide cloud computing power to the outside world, it will not lose money.

An intelligent research institute that looks rather mysterious and a supercomputing center that sounds very impressive made Wang Hua and other new colleagues shocked by the strength of their company.

This is a company that owns the 15th-ranked private supercomputer in the world.

Supercomputers of this level are often prefixed with nationality in some supercomputer rankings...

However, such a supercomputer appeared at the headquarters of Zhiyun Group. Moreover, this supercomputing center is not even an important department in the structure of Zhiyun Group. It is just a business department of Zhiyun Computing Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhiyun Group.

As everyone was riding on the electric shuttle bus through the office park, Wang Hua also discovered that the greenery in the park was very good. There was even a very large green lawn in the middle, and even a small lake in the middle of the lawn. In the center of the lake was a small fountain more than ten meters high.

The overall green environment is very large and appears very spacious.

At this time, a staff member said, "You new colleagues should have noticed that our company's campus is quite large, and our dormitories and apartments are located in the residential areas on the left and right sides. The distance is quite far, so our company provides a large number of free commuter buses between the dormitory communities on the left and right sides and the buildings in the office park. There will be more commuting time during commuting, and there are also during working hours, but less!"

"At the same time, because there are a large number of employees in the headquarters park, we have adopted a staggered get off work and rest system. There will be some differences in the work and rest and meal times of each department. You should pay more attention to it at that time."

"At the same time, we also provide free shared electric bicycles in our campus and dormitory area. Colleagues can scan the code in our employee APP to unlock and use them. But please note that they can only be parked in designated locations. If you park randomly, the system will have relevant records, and then your performance will be deducted, which will not be good!"

"And you can't carry any passengers, you have to wear a helmet!"

The HR staff on the shuttle bus continued to explain some precautions, and then they were divided into two groups. Wang Hua and his group were taken through the passage between the office area and dormitory area B, and entered dormitory area B after swiping their cards one by one.

"The dormitories you're assigned to are all in Area B. You can look up the information to find out the exact number of buildings. I'll then take you to the bottom of each dormitory building one by one. You can then swipe your card to go in and identify the door. If you have anything, you can put it down first. We'll gather again in half an hour."

Soon, the electric car arrived at Building 15, Area B, which was the dormitory to which Wang Hua was assigned.

When assigning dormitories, the Human Resources Department asked him whether he wanted a dormitory or to live outside... Of course Wang Hua wanted a dormitory, because where else would he live? The rent around here is very expensive.

Relatively speaking, although the company's dormitories also have to pay for water and electricity, the multi-person dormitories for ordinary employees do not require rent. Instead, the single-person apartment type costs money... Of course, it is not expensive, just a few hundred yuan for an ordinary one. The good ones cost more than a thousand yuan. Wang Hua did not want to live with several colleagues, so he chose a single-person apartment dormitory. After swiping his card to take the elevator upstairs, he opened the door with his employee card and went in. Wang Hua looked at this small apartment, which was not large but clean and bright, and couldn't help laughing.

This is much better than the small single room in the urban village where he had temporarily rented before, and much cheaper.

Moreover, this place is more than 20 stories high, and his small apartment just happens to have a window facing the sea. He draws open the curtains and looks at the seaside park outside and the sea in the distance, and his mood suddenly becomes relaxed.

After some fiddling with various things, Wang Hua locked the door and went downstairs. After waiting for a while, he finally got the shuttle bus from the Human Resources Department, which picked him up and took him to the office area. The shuttle bus then sent Wang Hua and the others to their respective departments, thus completing the onboarding process.

Wang Hua joined the group headquarters, which is directly under the strategic investment department managed by the chairman Xu Shenxue. The strategic investment department is divided into several business units, and Wang Hua joined the overseas investment department.

This overseas investment department is not a venture capital department in the conventional sense that aims at financial profit. Instead, it is an institution that specializes in investing, acquiring or merging related overseas companies for the purpose of corporate development strategy.

Zhiyun Group has been making various investments or acquisitions overseas almost all year round. They will do this almost any time they see a small or medium-sized enterprise or some unique technology that they are interested in.

This is also why Zhiyun Group, although a traditional manufacturing company, has a business department that specializes in overseas investment, acquisitions or mergers.

There is no such organization in ordinary companies...

When they have such business needs, they usually look for investment banks or consulting firms to solve them. It is impossible to set up a professional department all year round. There is no need for that.

But Zhiyun is different... It is too big, and has many investments, acquisitions or mergers around the world.

In addition to the Overseas Investment Department, there is also a Domestic Investment Department. These two investment departments lead the strategic investment, acquisition, and merger business of a large number of industry-related companies at home and abroad.

In addition, Zhiyun Group also has venture capital business in the conventional sense. These businesses also belong to the Strategic Investment Department and are divided into several investment funds for management. For example, the "Zhiyun Future Fund", which is well-known in the domestic Internet industry and has been involved in domestic Internet industry investment in the past two years, belongs to this category.

Wang Hua and several new colleagues who joined the strategic investment department walked all the way to the 17th floor of Building E. Someone quickly took over the work and soon Wang Hua appeared in an office.

The middle-aged man who brought him here simply clapped his hands and said to the five or six people in the office: "Everyone, please pay attention. Today we have a new colleague in our team, Wang Hua, an overseas economic analyst."

"Everyone, welcome!"

Wang Hua immediately said to everyone in the office: "Hello everyone, my name is Wang Hua, please take care of me in the future!"

At this time, a female colleague who was in her thirties and full of mature charm, wearing a black suit and short skirt, stared at Wang Hua carefully for a few seconds and said, "Welcome, welcome. It's rare for a handsome guy to come to our team. We must welcome him!"

"Xiaohua, right? Come here, let me see you. Oh, your height, your figure..."

Supervisor Li, who brought him here, said, "Okay, Xiao Li, stop making trouble. You already have two children and you still talk nonsense. Be careful not to scare away the newcomers in our group!"

"Xiaohua, you use this workstation, and remember to go to the administrative department next door to pick up your office computer, tablet computer, office phone and other office supplies."

After that, Manager Li said to a man in his early thirties who was wearing a small vest over his shirt:

"Team Leader Zhao, aren't you complaining about having too many things to do? Let Wang Hua follow you to get used to it for a while, and take good care of him. When you're done with this period of work, you'll be indispensable in his performance!"

At this time, the man nodded and said, "Okay!"

Wang Hua looked at him and felt that this person didn't talk much and he didn't know whether he was easy to get along with.

However, he stepped forward to the man and said, "Team Leader Zhao, if you have any instructions in the future, just tell me. I will study hard!"

Brother Zhao nodded slightly: "Don't be so polite, we are all colleagues."

After giving the instructions, Manager Li went into his own independent office. At this time, several colleagues nearby also came forward to say hello and introduce themselves.

Wang Hua was also answering questions while managing the personnel composition of this small office, but he found that there was a big difference between the number of people in the office and the workstations in the office.

There are more than twenty workstations in this office, and except for my workstation, the others are obviously occupied by people, with computers, documents, etc.

But at this time, there were only seven people in the office including myself.

At this time, Brother Zhao next to him said, "Many colleagues in our department are on business trips. Let's slowly introduce them to each other when they come back."

"Go get your office supplies first, then we can talk about this job."

At this time, a little girl sitting in a row of offices at the back, kicked her foot and slid over with the chair, then said to Wang Hua: "Wang Hua, come on, I'll take you to get it. It just so happens that I'm short of something here too!"

Wang Hua said: "Okay, then thank you Sister Sun!"

However, Sister Sun showed a speechless expression and said, "Brother Wang, I am probably younger than you. You can call me Siyi, or just call me Xiao Sun. Don't call me sister!"

At this time, Wang Hua also realized that this sister Sun's face looked very childish...

But he didn't quite believe that the other person was younger than him... Because he knew without guessing that everyone in his group had a master's degree or above, and there were probably several doctors.

I just graduated this year, and I skipped a grade when I was young. But although the other person looks young, his actual age should not be older than me.

But... what I was thinking in my heart couldn't be done, and I couldn't say it out loud. I immediately said, "I'm sorry, Siyi!"

At this moment, Sun Siyi smiled and said, "Let's go!"

Wang Hua said to Brother Zhao: "Brother Zhao, I'll go get the office supplies first!"

Brother Zhao didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and continued to stare at the documents on the computer screen.

After standing up, Wang Hua followed Sun Siyi and walked outside. They started a brief chat, asking questions like where she was from, where she went to school, etc.

Then Wang Hua discovered that Sun Siyi was actually from the same class as him and was one year younger than him. She had just joined the company this summer.

However, his academic qualifications are better than his. He obtained his undergraduate and master's degrees from a university that is ranked third in the eyes of some people.

Compared with the other school, Wang Hua's alma mater has a difference of several tens of points in the college entrance examination scores... Based on the provincial college entrance examination rankings, the difference is between a few hundred rankings and ten or twenty thousand rankings.

On the way, Wang Hua thought of what Brother Zhao had just said, and immediately asked, "Just now I heard Brother Zhao say that in addition to notebooks, there are also tablets and mobile phones in the office supplies?"

"That's not the case, and the things they post are all pretty good!"

As she spoke, Sun Siyi took out an S12 phone: "This is the work phone I received when I joined the company. Although it is an old model, its performance is still quite good!"

Wang Hua looked at the S12 phone and remembered that when he was in school last year and watched the Zhiyun conference, he also wanted to buy one. However, he was still a student at that time and only had some pitiful subsidies. At the same time, he was too old to ask his parents for money to buy such an expensive phone.

In addition, the C5 smartphone he bought before was in good condition and had good performance without any lag, so he had no motivation to change his phone.

Now that he works at Zhiyun, he can get an S series flagship phone. Even if it is just last year's old model, he is looking forward to it very much.

It can be said that owning a Zhiyun S series flagship phone is what most young people in China have dreamed of.

It’s just that the Zhiyun S series flagship phones are too expensive, and quite a number of ordinary families and young people with ordinary jobs are still reluctant to buy them.

A new S series mobile phone, even the standard version, often costs an average young person a month's salary or even more.

Even the old models are not cheap. After the release of S13 this year, the price of the S12 mobile phone has been reduced, but the 12GB version of the S16 still costs four thousand three.

At the same time, the 32GB version was cancelled, and the 64GB version costs 13 yuan, which is more expensive than the S16 standard version with GB.

As for the older S11 mobile phone, it was officially discontinued by Zhiyun after June this year, and the S13X was adopted to fill the market space of three to four thousand yuan and clear the inventory at the same time.

Anyway, the S13X with a 11-inch screen is actually not much different from the standard version of the S.

Of course, the more important thing is to ensure the sales of the new 13, while also ensuring the sales of the S12, and at the same time avoiding the old S11 from continuing to reduce its price, lowering the price to more than , thereby damaging the brand of the S series flagship phone.

Therefore, Zhiyun would rather stop producing the S11 directly and then launch an S13X to replace it, rather than lower the price of the S11 phone.

This also means that consumers can no longer purchase the S11 phone from Zhiyun’s official website.

You can still find S11 phones in some dealers... but they are just inventory products and will be gone once they are sold out.

Of course, there are a lot of S11 phones on the Internet, but they are basically the behavior of some online merchants themselves. Many of them are refurbished phones or second-hand phones, and most of them no longer have a visual model screen. They are only equipped with a garbage high-imitation screen or a refurbished screen after the external screen explodes.

It is impossible for these second-hand merchants to get you a truly new original screen, because there is no such thing as a so-called Zhiyun new original screen on the market.

Even if it is a disassembled screen, or even a refurbished screen with a glass cover, it depends on whether the merchant's conscience has been eaten by a dog...because even the original inner screen with a refurbished outer screen is quite expensive, and it is hard currency in places like Huaqiang South.

There is no way. After the Zhiyun S series, especially the S11 series, started using reticulated screens, the screens used were too high-end and extremely expensive, which made second-hand parts particularly expensive.

The market for second-hand Zhiyun S series phones on the Internet is a mixed bag, and it is difficult for ordinary consumers to figure it out. Wang Hua once thought about getting a second-hand product, but in the end he didn't dare to do it... there are too many pitfalls.

I didn’t expect that after joining Zhiyun, I could receive an S series mobile phone as a work phone. This benefit is really good.

Soon, under the guidance of Sun Siyi, Wang Hua received some of his office supplies, including a YunBook14 laptop from last year, a YunPad 11-inch 4G version from last year, and finally a S12 standard version 64GB work phone.

Moreover, all the above-mentioned items were new products. They were unpacked, registered, numbered and handed over to Wang Hua for use on the spot.

Wang Hua also looked at the registration form carefully, which stated that the notebook and tablet computer were company assets and had to be properly kept.

Mobile phones are a bit special. They are said to be work phones, but in fact they are a benefit for new employees.

It is issued as a work phone when you join the company. If you leave the company within one year, you must return the phone. If it is lost or damaged due to intentional or serious fault, you will have to pay compensation according to a certain proportion.

However, if the employee has worked for a full year, the phone will be directly issued to the employee as a reward and will become the employee's personal property. The employee does not need to return the phone when he or she leaves the company.

To put it bluntly, Zhiyun Group will give new employees a mobile phone directly when they join the company... This is one of the benefits for the company's employees.

After serving for two years, you can also purchase a new S series mobile phone from the company at an internal discount price.

Holding the S12 phone in his hand, Wang Hua was filled with emotion. He hasn't even started a formal job yet, but he got a Zhiyun S series flagship phone for free.

Although it is an old model from last year, Wang Hua is still happy and even excited.

So much so that during lunch, he couldn't help showing off in his circle of friends: "I just joined the company today, and I haven't started any work yet, but I got an S12 from the company for free..."

Then attached were photos of the Zhiyun LOGO and the S12 phone.

It was lunch time at that time, and many people were probably eating while checking their phones, so as soon as he posted this on WeChat Moments, it attracted a lot of likes and replies.

In the past few days, several classmates, relatives and friends who were on good terms with him and knew that he had received an offer from Zhiyun were either congratulating him or expressing their envy and jealousy.

However, many of the classmates and ordinary friends who were not so familiar with the school expressed shock.

A female classmate from the department next to him, whom he had pursued in the past but failed to get, first responded with a big glaring expression, and then immediately asked, "You joined Zhiyun Group?"

Wang Hua looked at this female classmate and smiled. "Today I have finally made it big. You used to ignore me and kept me hanging all day long. Today I will make sure you are out of my league!"

Zhiyun, not everyone can get in if they want to. I’m considered a successful person now, but you… hehe, just rot at the bottom of society.

I was thinking about the words to use and how to reply so that I could appear more domineering.

Then the other party sent a private message directly: "Wang Hua, have you really joined Zhiyun? Are you at Zhiyun headquarters in Shenzhen?"

Wang Hua became unhappy when he saw this conversation. What? Could I tell such an obvious lie? And judging from the tone, it seems that he doesn't believe it!

He immediately replied: "Yes, it's at the Shenzhen headquarters!"

Then the other party said, "That's great. I'm also in Shenzhen. I'm getting married next month. The wedding will be held here in Shenzhen. You can come to my wedding then. You will come, right?"

After seeing this reply, Wang Hua felt bad instantly. After taking several deep breaths, he finally calmed down!
Then I silently turned off the screen of my phone, but opened it again after more than ten seconds, ready to block and delete the person, but I was reluctant to do so, after all, she had been my sweetheart for many years.

When I was struggling, Brother Zhao's voice suddenly sounded from the side: "Actually..."

"Your chances of success will be greater after she gets married... because before that you will have to compete with countless people, even people who are far better than you, and she will also see countless weaknesses in you, so you won't stand a chance!"

"But from now on, you only need to compete with her husband, and you have to compete with the worst side of her husband. You only need to show your strengths in the areas where her husband performs poorly!"

“Maybe there will be a surprise then!”

When I looked up again, Brother Zhao had already sat down opposite me and started eating!

At this time, Wang Hua sighed and said, "She's getting married. It's impossible for us!"

Brother Zhao raised his head and looked at me like a fool: "I didn't ask you to marry her..."

Wang Hua was speechless for a moment. When he looked up at Brother Zhao, his face was full of the immaturity of a young man.

Brother Zhao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't act like a fool. I'll wonder how you got into our overseas investment department."

"If you really got in based on your own strength, then you should adjust your mindset starting today. You are different from the person you were before. In three to five years at most, your former classmates, friends, and especially your ex-girlfriend, your sweetheart, will all look up to your wonderful life!"

"Because Zhiyun Overseas Investment Department is a world-class stage, enough for you to display all your talents!"

----

After saying this, Brother Zhao paused for a moment before he continued, "I heard from my supervisor that your spoken English is pretty good? And your research focus during your graduate studies was on the U.S. economy? You have a good understanding of American companies?"

Wang Hua didn't know why he changed the subject so quickly, but he quickly reacted and switched to fluent English: "My spoken English is fully capable of meeting daily communication needs. At the same time, I have studied the economic field for many years and can meet the needs of professional English communication or translation in the economic field."

"I started following the research group in my sophomore year and began studying the economic situation in the United States. During my graduate studies, I also focused on studying large American companies. I have a full understanding of the American economic system and major American companies."

“A clear and deep understanding of the many unique cultures and systems of American companies”

Brother Zhao listened to his fluent English answer: "You have a passport, right? Did you bring it with you?"

Wang Hua said: "I have some in my dormitory."

"Bring your passport here this afternoon, and I'll have the logistics department apply for a work visa for you!"

At this time, Wang Hua was still a little surprised: "Ah?"

Brother Zhao said unhappily: "Get ready and go on a business trip to the United States with me next week..."

Wang Hua still couldn't believe it. He had just started working and now he was going on a business trip to the United States.

Brother Zhao asked, "Do you need another month or two to get used to the new environment before you can get into work mode?"

Wang Hua said: "No, I can do it anytime!"

Brother Zhao said, "That's it. It's because we've been too busy lately and don't have enough manpower, so we're rushing to recruit people. Otherwise, why would we recruit you?"

"This business trip is very important to me and our department, so prepare well."

"Believe me, if you do it well this time, you can have a life that will make them envious in just three to five months, not even three to five years!"
