I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 710 I can fold paper airplanes, can I build rockets in Yun Kun? Without failure, how can there be success?
At 10:10 AM on October 13, Chen Yansen publicly announced the official website of Yunkun Aerospace on Mimo, Douyin, Kuaishou, and Toutiao.

He also added the following text: "The vast starry sky is closely related to everyone. I need more like-minded partners to realize Yun Kun's space dream together."

If you can develop flyable products or provide power support for aircraft, Yunkun welcomes you to join us!

This is clearly a job posting.

Chen Yansen's post, made possible by his immense popularity both domestically and internationally, and coinciding with Forbes magazine's release of its 2014 list of the world's richest people, quickly garnered over ten million views.

An hour later, the number of clicks exceeded 100 million.

Everyone is curious: What fields of talent is Yunkun Aerospace looking to recruit for this job fair? And what are the specific requirements for job seekers?
In the comments section, one netizen had a sudden inspiration and jokingly left a message saying, "Brother Sen, I can fold paper airplanes, is that okay?"

Upon seeing the comment, Chen Yansen immediately replied: "If you can fly to space, then there's no problem!"

Netizens were immediately amused upon seeing this.

They never expected that the world's richest man, with a net worth of over 6000 billion US dollars, would have time to interact with netizens online and answer such trivial questions.

In an instant, the topic's popularity doubled.

Some netizens who initially paid no attention to Yunkun Aerospace's recruitment couldn't help but click into the recruitment section of the official website to find out more.

at the same time.

No. 6 Fengxiang Street, Greentown High-tech Development Zone, Gree Production Base.

During his break, Yang Dongzhi sat on the floor and started browsing Toutiao (a Chinese news and information platform). After scrolling for a few seconds, he came across the job posting published by Chen Yansen.

"Brother Sen is truly amazing! A private company building rockets—that's the first of its kind in China. The resources behind that are incredibly strong!"

He grinned, muttered to himself, and casually clicked on the Yunkun Aerospace website, browsing through job postings.

"Rocket-borne single-unit design engineer, monthly salary 40 to 50K, annual salary 20 to 28 months' pay."

"Rocket software engineers, monthly salary 25 to 40 RMB, annual salary 20 to 28 months' pay."

"Satellite system engineer, monthly salary 50 to 60K, annual salary 20 to 28 months' pay."

What the hell!

That's an incredibly high salary!

Yang Dongzhi couldn't help but purse his lips and gasp.

The minimum annual salary for each position is 50 or more.

At this salary level, if you work for ten years, buying a car and a house will be a sure thing, right?
But he felt no envy whatsoever, because after reading through the job qualifications line by line, none of them applied to him.

Just as I was about to close the webpage, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a job posting: Argon Arc Welder, monthly salary 15 to 25K.

"Xiao Yang! You're slacking off again, aren't you? Hurry up and finish welding this batch of compressors!"

The team leader shouted from a distance.

"Okay, coming right away!"

Yang Dongzhi readily agreed, but didn't move an inch, his eyes fixed on the job requirements on his phone screen: "High school diploma or above, good health, no bad habits; more than 3 years of experience in aluminum alloy tungsten inert gas welding, and holding a welder's operating certificate."
Possess basic knowledge of aluminum alloy TIG welding and be familiar with the operation of TIG welding machines such as Fröhne or Miller; be able to read CAD 2D drawings and be proficient in using various tools.

It seems like I already have all these skills!

"What are you looking at? Yunkun Aerospace is hiring? You're just a welder, and you're thinking about building rockets?"

At this moment, the team leader came over, his tone full of disdain.

In his eyes, building rockets was a very prestigious profession, something that workshop welders like him could never get involved in.
"Hehe, just take a look, it doesn't cost any money."

Yang Dongzhi put away his phone, unscrewed the lid of his teacup, took a sip of water, grabbed his welding equipment, returned to his workstation, and continued working.

In fact, Yunkun Aerospace is recruiting not only argon arc welders and assembly fitters, but also riveting assemblers, gas supply operators, and even cleaners, cooks, and food service staff.

Many netizens felt they could do it too after seeing the job posting.

However, some netizens poured cold water on the idea, retorting: "Wake up, kid! Just looking at the basic requirements isn't enough!"

"When I was a child, my dream was not to be a scientist, but an engineer, preferably one who could build large aircraft and satellites. Unfortunately, I almost failed to get into Harbin Institute of Technology in the college entrance examination."

"Hey buddy upstairs, what score did you get on the exam? And where did you work?"

"Don't ask, the answer is we're building airplanes!" a deliveryman replied hastily.

"The welder position is great! I meet the first requirement!"

"Me too!"

"What a coincidence, I also only have a high school diploma."

"Not only do I have a high school diploma, but I also know how to use a wrench. Does that mean I can tighten screws on a rocket?"

Someone immediately chimed in: "Don't mess with it! If you loosen a screw on the rocket, we can't afford to pay for it!"

Meanwhile, in the workshop, Yang Dongzhi held a welding torch in his hand, the blue light of argon arc welding dancing before his eyes, but his mind was filled with the job requirements on his phone screen.

Since you already know how to do it, why not give it a try?

Anyway, submitting a resume doesn't cost any money!

His monthly salary at Gree is only seven or eight thousand yuan, and he only gets 13 months' salary a year, which is incomparable to Yunkun Aerospace.

Moreover, he had long heard that employees under Senlian Capital, including deliverymen and couriers, received a 20-month salary per year.

If I could get a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan at Yunkun Aerospace, my basic salary alone would amount to at least 300,000 yuan before tax per year.

Moreover, this doesn't even include extra income such as subsidies and overtime pay.

If you add it all up, earning 40 a year would be a piece of cake, more than three times your current income.

With that thought in mind, Yang Dongzhi made up his mind: he would send out his resume as soon as he got off work today!
Even if you're thinking, "What if the interviewer misjudged me and I got in?", you still have to give it a try!
But people like Yang Dongzhi who dare to take the initiative to try are few and far between.

For most ordinary people, the mention of aerospace companies inevitably conjures up images of senior scientists in protective suits, delving into cutting-edge technologies.

Even if the job requirements are clearly stated in the job posting and are not so "unattainable", most people will still subconsciously back down and not have the courage to submit their resumes.

However, back-office positions such as cleaners, cooks, and food servers have become highly sought-after jobs among netizens.

In just six hours, each logistics position received more than two thousand resumes. What was even more surprising was that 47% of these job seekers held bachelor's degrees. What were originally "low-end positions" that were more focused on basic services were transformed into "education-intensive positions".

There was no other way; it was mainly because Boss Chen had given them just too much.

It's important to know that the starting salary for most college graduates is only three or four thousand yuan.

The job posting for the cleaner position at Keyun Aerospace clearly states a base salary of 4,500 yuan, plus housing subsidies, transportation subsidies, meal allowances, quarterly bonuses, and overtime pay. The average monthly income is at least 8,000 to 9,000 yuan.

Looking at it this way, instead of becoming a corporate slave in an internet company or factory, it's better to start as a cleaner early and avoid taking thirty years of detours.

at the same time.

Inside the Eighth Research Institute in Shanghai, as soon as Zhou Junping learned that Chen Yansen had announced Yunkun Aerospace's recruitment channels, he immediately sent his already prepared resume to the designated email address.

He had already found out that because 30% of Yunkun Aerospace's shares were held by state-owned assets, researchers below the rank of senior chief engineer were eligible for certain benefits.

Even those who are considered important personnel with access to classified information are not required to first spend two years in a non-classified position within the institute as part of a "declassification period".

He is currently only a senior engineer, two levels below senior supervisor engineer, and therefore not within the scope of the restriction. (Ordinary Engineer → Senior Engineer → Supervisor Engineer → Senior Supervisor Engineer → Chief Engineer → Senior Chief Engineer → Chief Scientist)

This is why Chen Yansen wanted to meet with Han Jinheng in person to make his demands.

Without Han Jinheng's coordination and the backing of state-owned assets, Yunkun Aerospace's current large-scale poaching of talent might have caused some trouble.

Some businesses can be done with connections but no money; but some businesses, even with money but no connections, will lead to disaster, at best losing money, at worst losing your life.

After submitting his resume, Zhou Junping was filled with anxiety: he was afraid that Yunkun Aerospace would not approve of his resume, and he was also worried that if he actually got the job offer, the research institute would not let him go.

As the saying goes, "For every policy from above, there's a countermeasure from below," and he was well aware of the intricacies involved.

If the research institute deliberately makes things difficult, there are plenty of ways to trip them up.

At 4:15 p.m., Zhou Junping received a call from Yunkun Aerospace's HR department. The two parties discussed the initial interview time and finally set it for 6 p.m.

To his surprise, the person in charge of the initial interview was a top technical expert in the field of aerospace engines from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology Association. This expert had previously given a technical lecture at the Shanghai Institute.

"Mr. Liao, how could it be you?"

Zhou Junping wore an awkward smile, but his heart was pounding, fearing that the other party would tell the research institute about his secret interview and plans to switch jobs.

"Don't worry, I'm just doing this for the money. I'm currently a senior chief engineer in the Yunkun Aerospace Engine R&D Department. Don't be nervous, let's start the interview."

Liao Shizhe waved his hand and said.

With the help of Han Jinheng's influence and the long-standing good cooperative relationship with the Huazhong University of Science and Technology Association, Chen Yansen was able to recruit a number of top talents who were frustrated in their original units, even though he did not manage to recruit many top chief scientists.

Although it would be an extremely difficult decision to ask them to resign from their government jobs and join a private aerospace company.

But they couldn't resist the lure of huge scientific research results!

Many of the engineers who went to support the Xingyuan Technology Optical R&D Center previously chose to stay.

The reason is simple: as long as you can produce results, the company will not only pay you a full salary, but also give you the recognition you deserve. No one dares to jump out and steal the credit.

Because the boss understands the technology, he can easily find out whether it was his own achievement by asking questions, and there's no way to fake it.

Furthermore, there are rumors that five spots in the next round of academician selection will be specifically allocated to Xingyuan Technology.

Who wouldn't envy someone who gains both fame and fortune?
Like Liao Shizhe, who was originally a core member of the Yanjing Aerospace Research Institute, he submitted his resignation letter without much hesitation when he heard that Chen Yansen was recruiting people for Yunkun Aerospace.

As for the declassification period?
That thing is designed to restrict lower-level researchers, but given his status and level in the research community, he can completely ignore it.

“Okay.” Zhou Junping took a deep breath and began to introduce himself.

Then, he started by talking about his major in aircraft propulsion engineering in college, and then went on to talk about the solid rocket engine nozzle optimization project he participated in after joining the Eighth Research Institute of Shanghai, explaining each technical point in as much detail as possible.

He knew Liao Shih-che was an expert in this field, and no amount of embellishment could be hidden from him.

"What specific part of the high-temperature resistant coating improvement project for nozzles in 2013 were you responsible for?"

Liao Shizhe suddenly asked.

"At the time, I was responsible for the laboratory verification of the coating formula and the subsequent process adjustment for small-batch trial production. Initially, the alumina ceramic coating I used always cracked at high temperatures. Later, I tried adding 5% zirconium oxide to the formula and adjusted the argon flow rate during spraying. Finally, I controlled the cracking rate to below 0.3%."

Zhou Junping answered calmly.

In the research institute, he was one of the people who did the hard work. How could he not remember the work he had done and the technical problems he had tackled?
Therefore, when faced with Liao Shih-che's questions, he spoke fluently and confidently, without the slightest hesitation.

The reason why Liao Shizhe focused on technical details during the interview was precisely because he was very familiar with some of the hidden issues in the scientific research community.

Many people who truly dedicate themselves to their work and achieve tangible results often only leave their names as the second or third author on technical papers, rather than being the most prominent ones.

As for those who claim to have participated in several projects in two years and still have time to publish several papers, he has no interest in even glancing at them.

"What was the selected particle size for zirconium oxide? What was the argon gas flow rate set to?"

Liao Shih-che continued to press for answers, his eyes now showing a hint of appreciation.

He understood that this was a capable person.

“粒径选的是1到3微米的，氩气流量从每分钟15升降到了每分钟12升，还同步把喷涂距离从200毫米缩短到了180毫米，这样涂层的致密度能再提高两个百分点。”

Zhou Junping answered with exceptional decisiveness.

These experimental parameters were calculated and measured step by step over three whole months of hard work, and they were so familiar to him that they were practically etched into his mind.

Liao Shih-che nodded, no longer dwelling on the technical details, and instead asked for his opinion on private aerospace.

Zhou Junping paused for a moment, then frankly said, "In the past, when I was in the research institute, the progress of projects was sometimes affected by funding and approvals. Sometimes a plan would take more than half a year to be implemented."

I've heard that Yunkun has ample funding and the basic conditions to rapidly advance research and development. Moreover, they're willing to invest resources as long as the technology is on the right track. I want to take advantage of my youth and work on a project that can reach for the stars.

These words struck a chord with Liao Shizhe.

He resigned from the Yanjing Aerospace Research Institute because he was fed up with the layers of reporting procedures.

What troubled him even more was that everyone in the research institute was afraid of making mistakes with the new plan.

Everyone is afraid of taking responsibility for failure, so they would rather stick to the old methods and follow the established routine than try new possibilities.

But how can any research be successful on the first try?

If we don't even give people a chance to try and make mistakes, and don't even allow them to fail, how can we talk about technological progress?
