Chapter 63

Zhuochuan merely heard a couple of complaints and did not pay much attention, then he lowered his head and got busy with his work.

After two hours of work, with his current speed of thinking and work efficiency, he quickly extracted the core intelligent programming technology, encapsulated it, and left the peripheral interfaces and basic functions. He prepared to use these to apply for software copyrights and product patents. Intelligent programming, as the core technology of the entire intelligent ECG analysis software, was responsible for the main tasks of learning and prediction, and was the core function for accurate prediction. It had to be kept as a technical secret and could not be patented.

However, he would publish the graphical principles of ECG prediction. Without the intelligent programming technology as the underlying implementation, it would ensure that even if others knew the principles of ECG prediction, they could not implement them through computer means.

Manually, after knowing the principles, one could indeed derive formulas and analyze the changes in the graphs for a specific patient, then make predictions. This was a necessary condition verified by professionals. However, it could not be commercialized, as there were not enough medical and computer experts to serve so many patients. Without the intelligent programming technology, this principle could not become a commercial product.

In this way, the reliability of Zhuochuan's technology was guaranteed, and he could ensure market monopoly while gaining all the fame and social status he deserved.

While he was busy, there were a few knocks on the door of the general manager's office.

"Come in," Zhuochuan said without looking up, having already recognized the person from the footsteps. It should be Li Zhengding, the newly appointed financial manager.

The door opened, and it was indeed Li Zhengding. A reliable financial manager was hard to find. In newly established companies, the boss usually took the position themselves or assigned it to a relative, leaving outsiders with little chance to get involved. Only when the company grew larger and more formal, with a complete financial system, could they confidently hire high-level professionals.

"General Manager Zhuo, the first phase of the company's financial budget is ready, and I will report it to you," Li Zhengding said. In the few days he had worked with Zhuochuan, he had come to understand his work capabilities. When reporting to him, unless it was an emergency, he would not stop his work but would listen while continuing his tasks. What surprised Li Zhengding was that Zhuochuan never made mistakes and never missed any key points.

"Um," as Li Zhengding understood, Zhuochuan continued to work without looking up.

Li Zhengding understood that this was not a sign of disrespect but an effective use of time.

He sighed inwardly. General Manager Zhuo really worked hard. No wonder, at such a young age, he could secure funding and projects and start a company on his own.

After composing himself, Li Zhengding began his report, "The company's bank account currently has 38,774,230 yuan. The main expenses include: personnel costs, with a total of 22 employees, an average salary and corresponding benefits totaling 24,600 yuan, monthly personnel costs of 541,200 yuan, monthly rental fees of 90,000 yuan, and other miscellaneous expenses of 14,000 yuan. The total expenses for next month will be 645,200 yuan."

"Um, I understand," Zhuochuan nodded, having already memorized these figures and compared them with his own calculations, finding no discrepancies. This showed that Li Zhengding was indeed responsible.

"Currently, the company has not established revenue. According to the plan, the number of employees will rapidly expand to 500 within two months. Their salary levels will be three times the highest average in the industry. Based on market data, the highest average salary in the medical software industry is 7,960 yuan, located in Nanhushi City at Deep Sea Medical. We can reach three times their level, but with a rapid increase in personnel to 500, the monthly salary expenditure alone will be over ten million yuan..." Li Zhengding was about to continue when he saw Zhuochuan look up.

"Old Li, are you worried about the cash flow?" Zhuochuan's expression was calm.

"Yes, although your product is impressive, converting it into market revenue will take time. I suggest slowing down the recruitment speed or temporarily reducing the salaries of new employees until we see results," Li Zhengding suggested.

"No, we need to stand out. Currently, we are offering three times the highest average salary in the domestic industry, and in the future, we will aim for the highest in the global industry, with a threefold difference from the second place. We want everyone to be proud to work for us and to be dedicated to their jobs to keep their positions. They don't need to think about job-hopping or salary increases; their only concern should be how to do their jobs well."

Zhuochuan understood why large companies were attractive. Scale and corporate culture were secondary; the most important factor was high salaries. Otherwise, many sweatshops, despite their size and number of employees, would not be considered prestigious places to work.

"As for the cash flow, don't worry. I will soon apply for software copyrights and register the corresponding patents domestically. Then, I will have the sales department negotiate a new contract with Xinghui Company to start a cloud service fee model. The cash flow will be substantial, and you'll be surprised."

Seeing Zhuochuan's confident demeanor, Li Zhengding nodded repeatedly, "Since the boss has a plan, I won't say more. You continue working."

"Good, you go back to your work. In the evening, withdraw some money from the account and organize a staff gathering at the best hotel. You can expense it when you return. I won't attend as I have other matters. Old Li, you are the oldest and have the most experience, so please host it for me," Zhuochuan said. Although Dong Ze and others were closer to him, Zhuochuan knew they couldn't handle such occasions.

As an accountant for an investment company, Li Zhengding was honest and reliable, and he had seen and experienced many large gatherings. He also had a connection with Yuan Xiaobing, making him suitable to represent Zhuochuan.

"Sure, boss," as a subordinate, Li Zhengding appreciated a generous boss. Sometimes, while doing the accounts, he envied the employees of Tianhua Company. He had worked diligently for over thirty years in Yuan Xiaobing's family investment company, earning over 300,000 yuan annually. However, even a department manager here earned the same as him, and the average employee earned only slightly less, around 100,000 yuan less.

...

At the first gathering of the new company, Zhuochuan did not show up or try to build rapport with the new employees. His experience taught him that if the actual benefits were good enough, there was no need for such formalities. His time was valuable, and he was destined not to worry about money. He would ensure the employees received top-tier benefits, so he wouldn't waste time on this.

Every evening, he had more important things to do, which the others did not know. After dinner, he followed a fixed procedure and entered the new world where only he could go.
