That summer after the college entrance exams, Lin Xu never expected to bind to an "Ideal Company System" the moment he stepped onto a university campus.
The System did not give him cashback for spending money, nor did it hand him a luxury car or mansion. It asked him just one question: If one day you owned a company of your own, what would you want it to be like?
Lin Xu thought about it for a long time. A little higher pay, less overtime, and weekends that were actually days off. No need to worry about getting fired when you fell ill, and the freedom to pick up your child when they had a fever. A company that could lend a hand when your parents grew old. And, ideally, a cafeteria with tasty food at reasonable prices.
And so, starting with a small software program developed by an 18-year-old who had just finished his college entrance exams, a somewhat "abnormal" company came into being. Other companies worked on cutting labor costs, while Qichuan worked on raising employee salaries. Other companies canceled year-end bonuses, while Qichuan's finance team chased the boss every day asking, "Exactly how much are we giving out this year?"
Many years later, when the small company that once had only a few secondhand desks had become a technology group with tens of thousands of employees, a reporter asked Lin Xu, "Do you think your employees should be grateful to Qichuan?"
Lin Xu was taken aback. "Why should they be grateful? They work hard, the company pays them what it promised, and when we make money, everyone gets a share. Isn't that how it should be?"
This is the story of an 18-year-old university student who starts with a tiny company of three people and gradually builds the "ideal company" he has always imagined. It is also the story of ordinary people who work, fall in love, get married, have children, grow old, and live good lives there.
