My Side Job is a Trader

Zhang Xin didn't know anything about the talk about Li Xueer's dormitory, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.

Except for the people he cares about, Zhang Xin is indifferent to almost everyone else. Likewise, he doesn't care what others think of him.

From this point of view, Zhang Xin's character is particularly in line with the Taoist philosophy of inaction and letting nature take its course.

When Zhang Xin woke up, the sun had already set, and the buildings outside the window had changed into a familiar Jiangnan style. Zhang Xin knew that the Shanghai Stock Exchange was approaching.

After exiting the station, the lights were already on the street. I sent a message to Li Xueer first, and then found my broken car on the side of the road. No accident, there was a ticket on the windshield wiper, but it’s okay, as long as you pay the money, you don’t need to deduct points .

A hundred and ten dollars, Zhang Xin really doesn’t care about it now. After all, you can buy things that cost 10,000 yuan. The key is that your driver’s license points are more important. up.

On Monday, Zhang Xin was in a good mood all day long, humming a ditty, typing on the keyboard quickly, the colleagues around looked at each other, and the colleagues who were far away from Zhang Xin whispered: "It seems that this kid Sure enough, she fell in love, and she was still a young man, what a big deal, it's like winning the lottery."

Ou Xiaoyong came down from the management meeting upstairs and saw that everyone was busy. Now everyone said among them: "The company may have some adjustments in the next few days. Don't panic, don't listen to wind and rain, and do it with peace of mind. The job at hand."

This news instantly diverted everyone's attention from Zhang Xin, and everyone began to discuss it, some of whom expressed some concern.

Ou Xiaoyong saw that everyone was not interested in working, and knew that everyone was worried that the company would optimize the operation and management through layoffs, so he comforted everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, our project team should not have a big problem, because our team is responsible for several projects, and the new The product has already been planned, at least before the new project is completed, everyone doesn’t have to worry about being laid off.”

After everyone listened to it, they quieted down, but it was still unavoidable to discuss in private, guessing which project teams would be abolished in this round of so-called optimization.

Of course Zhang Xin also participated in it. He was not worried that he would not be able to find a good job after being laid off, but that his social security payment would be interrupted due to the sudden layoff. He was already planning to buy a house in the Shanghai stock market. There is not much problem in terms of funds, but as a result of losing the qualification to buy a house because of the interruption of social security, it is not worth the loss.

Several old employees asked Ou Xiaoyong if he had any specific news, but Ou Xiaoyong did not hide it from everyone: "The main reason is that the products that should be made have also been developed. Our company seems to be quite large, but the main revenue is from urban areas. It is supported by the financial department of the company, but these products have been developed. It seems that there are quite a lot of them. In fact, only a few can earn income. Our team is responsible for R\u0026D and maintenance. The performance is not bad, so this optimization will not fall to us anyway. on the head."

This is also the first time Zhang Xin has heard of this kind of inside story. Although he knew that the company was involved in financial business, he did not expect that the company was completely dependent on financial business. It is because there is no need for many projects to exist, and naturally there is no need to keep those idle personnel.

Chen Shiqing started working when the Internet industry just started to take off, and has worked in many companies, large and small, so he has a clear understanding of how Internet companies play.

At this time, he deliberately coughed to attract everyone's attention, and then said in a low voice: "In fact, many so-called Internet companies do not have many product development and operations. A product. The reason why our company recruited so many people and developed so many products was actually for others to see. After they have seen it, many of these products are worthless, so there is no It is necessary to stay."

Chen Shifeng also interjected: "To put it bluntly, the purpose of many Internet companies is to tell stories better, and then to win the favor of investors by telling good stories. Once investors are interested in the possibility, then congratulations, Stories will come true. Now that our company is clearly out of storytelling, there is no need to keep so many storytellers."

Several young guys in the group who had just graduated for a year or two felt a little uncomfortable when they heard this. Being able to become a programmer proved their own ability. When he came to the society, he turned out to be a tool for telling stories in the eyes of others, the kind that can be discarded at will after use.

After all, Zhang Xin has also experienced several companies, so he is not very repulsed by such a statement, because this is reality.

Ou Xiaoyong comforted: "Everyone, don't be so discouraged. If someone needs us to help interpret the story, it means that we are useful. If we are useful, we will not worry about not being able to find a job. If there is no one to tell the story one day, it will be a good thing for us." It could be a real disaster for us."

Zhang Xin silently nodded in agreement.

"Okay, this is the end of this discussion. There may be major adjustments in the office after that. Everyone should be as usual. Don't make people panic."

Everyone returned to their seats and did their own things.

After waiting for a long time, people began to enter and leave the director's office one after another.

Zhang Xin watched them coming and going, although he already knew that it was unlikely that he would be called over to talk, but he still felt a little unspeakable sadness in his heart.

However, after most people came out of the director's office, they didn't show a sad look. On the contrary, they all had smiles on their faces. The people who were called out walked into the director's office happily as if they had won a lottery.

Zhang Xin has never encountered such a situation before, whether it is in a film or television drama or has experienced it before, any layoff means losing a job and a source of income.

I shared my doubts with Chen Shiqing on the opposite side, but Chen Shiqing said: "Of course they are happy, because according to the law, if the company wants to lay off employees, it must provide compensation. Generally, the compensation plan is given according to the number of years of work. According to the n+1 model, Give money directly, half a year counts as a year."

"Huh? Then why didn't I get anything when I was laid off before?"

Chen Shiqing asked casually: "Your previous company was not a formal company, right? There are many companies in the Internet industry that play around the corner, and they even pay social security according to the minimum standard."

Zhang Xin nodded. No wonder these laid-off people are so happy. As long as the skills are not too bad, they can basically find a job within a month or two. With the compensation, it is not a loss. As for those who work longer hours, it is not Still earned.
