In 2013, graduate students Xiang Nan, Zheng Wei, Ruan Guan, and Zhu Xiaobei graduated successfully.
At the beginning of the year, everyone starts making plans for the future.
"Wei Wei, I'm going to open a studio to engage in architectural design, interior decoration, art direction, etc. What do you think?" Xiang Nan asked Zheng Wei.
"Opening your own studio?! Is it risky?" Zheng Wei said worriedly after hearing this.
Xiang Nan nodded, there would definitely be risks.
If an architect's studio wants to run well, either the boss must have extensive connections and have relationships with government departments and real estate companies; or the designer must have enough popularity. Only in this way can we have a steady stream of projects and ensure the smooth operation of the studio.
Otherwise, the studio would be open but there would be no projects and a group of employees would be in vain. In the end, not only will you not make any money, you will also lose a lot of money.
However, Xiang Nan still has some confidence in the future of the studio.
This stems from his status in the film and television industry.
Nowadays, Xiang Nan is considered a figure in the mainland film and television circles. Film producers who want to buy him and his scripts can line up from the school gate to downstairs of the dormitory.
And every time he sells IP, he will ask the other party to hand over the scene design drawings to him to draw.
Up to now, he has participated in the architectural design and art direction of many film and television dramas. Such as "Di Renjie: Dragon King of the Gods", "Sword Rain", "Xiu Chun Dao", "Dragon Gate Flying Swords", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", etc., are all written by him.
The huge sales of these movies also made his fame rise with the tide. More and more film and television companies have recognized Xiang Nan's design capabilities and are willing to cooperate with him.
Therefore, Xiang Nan is not only well-known, but also has certain connections.
…
Xiang Nan then explained his advantages.
"That's really good." Zheng Wei nodded.
"Moreover, after the studio is established, we can also invite Ruan Wan, Zhu Xiaobei, Zhang Zhang, etc. over." Xiang Nan smiled, "Then everyone can be together again."
"Yeah, that's right. Ruan Wan and Zhu Bei both have strong design skills." Zheng smiled and nodded.
Ruan Guan’s research topic is [Application of Architectural Space and Water Elements]; Zhu Xiaobei’s research topic is [Protection and Application of Ancient Buildings]. Both of them are very accomplished in design.
Zhang Zhang is majoring in environmental engineering. Although his professional knowledge is not strong, he is sharp-tongued and knows how to make things happen. In addition, he has sold many houses in the past few years and has accumulated good sales experience. He can be responsible for the design. , you can also attract customers.
Xiang Nan later mentioned this matter to Ruan Guan, Zhu Xiaobei, and Zhang Kai.
They all readily agreed.
"Great! Ruan Ruan, Zhu Bei, Zhang Zhang, we can be together again." Zheng Wei said happily.
"Yeah, it just so happens that I can't let you go either." Zhu Xiaobei hugged Zheng Wei and said. We have been together for seven years and have accumulated a deep relationship. It would be better if we could not separate.
Ruan Guan also smiled and nodded.
Xiang Nan, Zheng Wei, Zhu Bei, and Zhang Kai are all her good friends. It is really a good thing to be able to stay with the people you like.
It’s naturally happier to open up. After joining the studio, he can get along with Ruan Wan day and night. For him, this is really a job without a salary.
…
"Okay, brothers also need to settle accounts. Let's talk about salary again." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I took the time to check the salary and benefit details of our Department of Architecture in the past few days, and then set our salary based on it. Employee wages and welfare standards.
Let's listen and see. If you have any opinions, you can raise them in person. If it makes sense, I'll make adjustments. In short, I just hope everyone is satisfied. "
When everyone heard this, they all nodded.
We are all adults, so we all see things more clearly in this regard.
"Okay, the salary in our studio is based on fixed salary, performance, share, and subsidies." Xiang Nan explained, "Wei Wei, Zhu Bei, and Ruan Ruan are all designers, and our fixed salary is 5,800. , the performance salary is 1,800 yuan, and the share is 3% each. The monthly meal subsidy, accommodation subsidy, oil and gas subsidy, and telephone subsidy are 400 yuan.
In this way, the monthly salary is 8,000 yuan. Including the share, I think the average monthly salary per person can be more than 15,000. "
After hearing what he said, everyone applauded.
In one or three years, the salary of a graduate student is seven to eight thousand yuan. Of course, if you major in computer, Internet, or finance, your earnings will be higher.
However, the popularity of the architecture department has dropped significantly in recent years, and a monthly salary of 8,000 is really not bad. Not to mention sharing.
"Zhang Zhang, your position is a designer assistant. The fixed salary is four thousand, the performance company's is one thousand two thousand, and there is no share. The subsidy is six hundred, do you have any objections?" Xiang Nan asked again.
"No objection, no objection." He waved his hands and smiled.
He works as a real estate agent and earns five to six thousand a month if he does well. If he couldn't sign the contract, his basic salary would only be one thousand five hundred and fifty, which wouldn't even be enough to eat instant noodles after rent.
Now he can earn 5,800 yuan a month, and he can also face Ruan Guan day and night, which is already very good for him.
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, "In terms of benefits, you will have two days off per week, and you can choose your own time. You can work shifts, but you must ensure that the company has at least two designers on duty every day.
The company does not force overtime work, but work must be completed on time. If you are unable to complete the task on time due to personal reasons, your monthly performance bonus will be deducted. "
"Azheng, your true colors are about to be revealed." Zheng smiled and said, "I just want people to work overtime in vain without paying overtime pay."
"There is no way. We all know that in the construction industry, overtime is common. If everyone works overtime, I can't afford the overtime pay alone." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
In fact, compared to the 996 things done by those Internet giants, he is considered kind.
"Okay, Weiwei, Azheng, this is already good. If you go to any private company now, there will be no eight-hour working day." Zhang Kai smiled and said, "Even if you work overtime, you won't get overtime pay."
"Okay." Zheng Wei nodded.
"After the company's year-end audit, if it is profitable, one-tenth of the profit will be used for employee benefits. Such as travel, bonuses, training, team building, etc." Xiang Nan added.
After hearing what he said, everyone applauded again.
…
"Then do you have anything else to add?" Xiang Nan then asked.
"Azheng, you are very kind, and we don't have any objections." Zhang Zhang, Ruan Guan and Zhu Xiaobei looked at each other and then shook their heads.
"Azheng, I have one!" Zheng Wei raised his hand and said, "You have so many houses, how about using one or two as employee dormitories?"
Xiang Nan scratched his head when he heard this.
Nowadays, the rental price of houses in Shanghai is getting more and more expensive. Even for houses in Baoshan District and Jiading District, a single room costs 1,450 yuan. If it is two bedrooms and one living room, it will cost more than 5,000 yuan.
If we provide free housing for employees, it would be equivalent to a salary increase of 2,000 yuan per person per month. This is not a small amount.
However, now that Zheng Wei has spoken, they are all his friends.
Xiang Nan thought for a while and finally gritted his teeth, "Okay, let's do it."
"Yeah!" Zhu Xiaobei, Ruan Wan, and Zhang Zhang all cheered after hearing what he said.
