Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 195 Induction Ceremony
On April 1988, 4, countless young faces dressed in black suits and white shirts were sitting in the spacious Xinghai Semiconductor conference room.

Kato Yosuke looked around the large conference room, feeling impressed by how many people there were. At the same time, he proudly glanced at the big words "Xinghai Semiconductor Induction Ceremony" on the big screen on the podium.

Being able to follow in the footsteps of his idol and come to Xinghai Semiconductor was his biggest dream before graduation.

"This way, our seats are over here."

His good friend Yuji Shibamon glanced at the seat information, then happily pulled Kato Yosuke and strode towards the seats with their names written on them.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the slightly plump young man sitting next to Kato Yosuke said with a hint of flattery: "Sure enough, during the interview, I knew you could pass."

The young man glanced at the man next to him, then exchanged glances with his friend. Just as he was about to respond, he heard the man speak again.

"My name is Yukihei Miyauchi. You are from the Tokyo Industrial Computer Club, right?"

"I also graduated from Donggong University, majoring in electronics."

Since they are alumni and graduated from the same company, it is natural that the two of them cannot be too unfamiliar.

A smile appeared on Kato Yosuke's rather serious face.

"Yes, I'm Kato Yosuke from the Computer Club. Thank you for your guidance!"

Then Shibata Yuji followed suit and said, "I am his friend Shibata Yuji, please give me your advice!"

"Please advise!"

After shaking hands with the two people, Yukihira Miyauchi whispered: "Your interview that day was really wonderful. I will remember it immediately. By the way, my dream is to help others achieve technological innovation."

"Although I joined Xinghai Semiconductor mainly for research and development, my talent is really limited, so I can only choose this direction."

"what about you?"

The man's performance in professional courses was average while in school, but he was very outstanding and active in club activities.

Choosing Xinghai Semiconductor is more about pursuing management positions.

He wants to help others realize their dreams so that he can achieve his own dreams.

"As for me, as long as I can contribute to society and the company as an ordinary member, that's enough."

Yuji Shibata chose the company simply because of his friend, without giving much thought to the future.

He is a bit of a pessimist and doesn't think he is important at all.

"Yes, very down-to-earth, very impressive."

Miyauchi Yukihei smiled and nodded in affirmation, then turned to Kato Yosuke and asked, "Yosuke-san, what about you?"

"Which department do you want to go to?"

Kato Yosuke raised his head and thought for a moment, then responded seriously: "I want to join the scientific research department. I want to become the chief scientist of Xinghai Semiconductor."

His idol in the field of scientific research is Fujio Masuoka.

Ever since he learned about flash memory technology, he has had great respect for this scientific researcher.

Of course, the person he admired most was Masato Takeshita.

Not only does it have first-class R&D capabilities, it also has outstanding entrepreneurial abilities.

It should be said that after repeated publicity by the Waseda media, there are very few young Japanese people who do not admire Masato Takeshita.

In just two years, he has created such a big world.

Japanese young people are now more crazy about Takeshita Masato than Chinese young people were about Shi Yuzhu in the 1980s and 1990s.

Shi Yuzhu is one of the leading figures in China's reform and opening up.

In 1989, he started his own business with the Giant Hanka he developed.

But at that time, he had just graduated from graduate school and did not have enough capital.

But it doesn’t matter, a genius is someone who doesn’t follow the beaten path.

It's similar to Masato Takeshita's approach of using chickens to lay eggs.

He approached Computer World and asked the magazine to agree to his advertising-first-and-pay-later plan in exchange for a higher advertising fee.

The product sold very well and became an instant hit.

Four months later, Shi Yuzhu earned his first million in his life.

At this time, Shi Yuzhu brought out his gambling side.

He invested all the money in advertising.

In retrospect, his spending was not in vain.

Giant Hanka’s monthly profit exceeded 30 million, and he himself became a famous Chinese billionaire at the age of less than .

The key point is that Shi Yuzhu relies entirely on technology and is a self-made man.

Unfortunately, you win in all-in and you lose in all-in.

Shi Yuzhu's gambling nature soon made him the biggest debtor in China.

But it doesn’t matter, Shi Yuzhu is a genius.

It soon made a comeback by selling health products that charged a small amount of money, and also left a deep mark in the Internet era of the 21st century.

Although not as good as some up-and-coming ones, he is already impressive enough compared to those business founders of the same generation who ended up in disgrace.

Miyauchi Yukihei was very optimistic about Kato Yosuke's future development, and once again complimented him with a smile on his face: "If it's you, there's a good chance of success."

The calmness and confidence that Kato Yosuke showed during the interview have been deeply imprinted in the young man's mind.

Whenever he thinks about it, he feels great.

“It has always been my dream to engage in semiconductor research, and I hope to make a difference in this industry.”

"I feel that Xinghai Semiconductor is the best ship for me to realize my dream."

"This is my little patent on chips, please appreciate it."

The words are sonorous and the emotions are sincere.

The most important thing is that it has outstanding R&D capabilities.

If this kind of person doesn't succeed, no one can succeed.

"Well, let me borrow your good words."

Before we knew it, time had quietly passed and it was already 9 o'clock.

Masato Takeshita stepped on the spot and stood in the middle of the podium.

He originally wanted Lou Gerstner to preside over the induction of new employees, but the president flatly refused.

The reasons given by President Lou Gerstner are impeccable.

His Japanese is not good enough. If he presides over the induction ceremony for new employees, most of them will not understand what he is saying.

After briefly adjusting the microphone, Masato Takeshita began to speak seriously.

"Good afternoon, everyone! I am Masato Takeshita, the president of Xinghai Semiconductor."

After a brief self-introduction, there was warm applause in the conference room.

It's great that the idol personally hosted the induction meeting.

"You may have heard of me, or you may not have heard of me. But it doesn't matter. What the company values most is your talent."

After talking a lot, Masato Takeshita looked at the enthusiastic graduates not far away and suddenly felt emotional.

"We are all young people with the best years of our lives."

"Compared to those pillars of society, most of us have next to nothing."

"But it doesn't matter."

"We young people still have pride and dignity."

"This momentum will help us soar into the sky."

"Remember, young people are full of energy."

"If we don't have the energy, then what kind of young people are we?"

This time, there was even louder applause in the venue, which lasted for a long time.

"As expected of my idol, what a bold statement."

"That's right. It's the right choice to come here."

"Well, I hope my dream can come true."

Miyauchi Yukihira and the other two looked at each other excitedly, and kept thinking about their president's words in their minds.

There is no elderly system at all, and talent is the most important thing.

Young people don’t have to worry about salary. As long as you have talent, you can get a salary far higher than that of the older generation and quickly become their superior.

This is simply unimaginable in other Japanese companies.

Xinghai Semiconductor, are you going to deny the seniority system?

They didn't know, but they hoped so.

After Masato Takeshita finished his speech and returned to the backstage, Fujio Masuoka, the technical director of Xinghai Semiconductor and the inventor of flash memory chips, looked at him in surprise.

"President, are you going to end the seniority system in the company?"

"Of course not. I just made some slight changes and put more emphasis on the power of technology. The company's overall development path is still based on the seniority system."

The seniority system has a lot of shortcomings, and young people have long wanted to reform it.

But in today's society, he dare not reveal anything.

Xinghai Semiconductor cannot become an outlier and cannot arouse hostility from veteran semiconductor giants such as Hitachi and NEC.

He will lead the company to change only when Xinghai Semiconductor can dominate the market.

There is no rush for this matter.

Next, Masato Takeshita went to other companies to give induction speeches to new employees.

Xinghai Group has only been established for two years, so young people attach great importance to the graduate group.

Because they are often more loyal to the company.

After all, most people have a first love complex, and as long as the first company does not go too far, they will not easily choose to leave.

Sometimes, the first company is even slightly bad.

For example, if the salary is slightly lower than outside, many employees who have just graduated and are working will not choose to leave.

Unless the salary gap is too big, or the company's leadership is really stupid.

Therefore, Masato Takeshita deliberately arranged the entry time of new employees of several companies on different dates.

This way, he won't leave any company behind.

After the new people joined the company, the number of employees increased and the atmosphere became younger.

Especially the Matsumoto manufacturing.

These young people have slightly diluted the atmosphere of the elderly inside.

A week later, Takeshita Masato looked at his secretary and asked gently, "Have you finished the classification of the new employees?"

During the bubble economy era, college students were invaluable, and many people might not come to work even if they had an offer from a company.

Attending an inauguration ceremony is different.

If employees who attend the inauguration ceremony leave, they will be ostracized by the whole society.

It doesn't matter for small companies, but big companies basically won't recruit.

Because in the eyes of Japanese companies, this is a huge disloyalty.

So after the graduation ceremony, Masato Takeshita asked the secretariat to count the number of graduates who had started work this year.

"It's already on the desk."

Lin Qingqian acted very calm, as if nothing had happened.

This peace has lasted for a long time.

It should be said that the girl was like this the day after that incident.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Masato Takeshita nodded and picked up the document to look at it.

This time, Xinghai Group recruited a total of 16694 people.

松本制造招募6856人；星海半导体招募9015人；星海投资招募27人；星海游戏招募182人；星海半导体制造招募574人。

In addition, Xinghai Group headquarters also recruited 40 people.

Just like in 87, Matsumoto Manufacturing and Xinghai Semiconductor are the major recruiters of the company.

Matsumoto Manufacturing mainly focuses on graduates from second-tier universities and junior colleges similar to those in China.

The number of graduates from key universities is slightly small.

The academic qualifications of Xinghai Semiconductor are relatively high, and its main graduates are similar to those of China's 211 universities.

There are also many graduates from Tokyo First Institute of Technology.

Similar situations include Xinghai Semiconductor Manufacturing and Xinghai Games.

This is the difference in the nature of the industry.

Matsumoto Manufacturing is a relatively low-end manufacturing industry and requires more ordinary talents.

Although Xinghai Semiconductor also has manufacturing factories, the wafer foundry industry is a cutting-edge field in the manufacturing industry and requires highly qualified talents.

Of course, Xinghai Semiconductor also has low-end industries.

The Disaster Emergency Radio Project recruited a large number of ordinary university graduates.

This project is similar to the suitcase project, neither of which requires a lot of high-level talent.

As for Xinghai Investment, it is at the top of the top and only recruits top talents from top universities.

If Masato Takeshita had not graduated from Waseda University, he would not even be qualified for Waseda University.

"Very good, this year's recruitment work is good."

When Masato Takeshita saw that the new employees of Xinghai Semiconductor were mainly from the two major private universities of Hayashi and Keio University, as well as national and public universities, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

These graduates are Japan's most valuable assets.

I didn’t expect that Xinghai Semiconductor has such a strong appeal after only being established for more than a year.

"It's mainly because the president has a very strong influence among young students."

The young man smiled and said with emotion: "I see. So, many things are like a blessing in disguise."

Masato Takeshita hates being in the news, but it is through news exposure that he has become an entrepreneurial idol for young people all over Japan and attracted a large number of high-quality talents to his company.

It feels a bit like speaking for myself.

The person who did the best in this regard in China in the past life was probably Bill Gates.

He is notorious in his own country, the United States, and is despised and hated by the entire country.

However, relying on his status as the richest man, he has many dazzling halos in China.

If you can join Microsoft, you can really look down on people.

Masato Takeshita is also interested in moving in this direction.

However, his reputation is not enough at the moment. Once he becomes the world's richest man, he can promote himself throughout Asia and even the United States.

The companies under his command will definitely gain countless benefits.

This is the charm and power of wealth.

After reading it all, Masato Takeshita thought to himself.

"Xinghai Semiconductor has recruited so many employees, it should be enough."

"Matsumoto Manufacturing is expanding its presence in the clothing and food sectors, but I don't know if it will be enough."

After thinking for a moment, the young man's eyes rolled.

"Well, that should be enough."

"The clothing and food industries are only tentatively developing in the local market this year. Even if they expand, they will mainly focus on China."

"If it is feasible, Japan will become the main battlefield next year."

"I guess Matsumoto Manufacturing will recruit more employees by then."

Masato Takeshita attaches great importance to the scale of the enterprise.

Because these people represent jobs, votes, and their most real influence in a country.

But on second thought, Masato Takeshita felt that this was not necessarily the case.

Matsumoto's trolley suitcase project has been saturated, and it is basically impossible to recruit too many employees next year.

The increase in clothing and food can easily be offset by the decrease in suitcase items.
