To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 1254 Competition Agreement
Eric was stunned, he never expected Mr. Pei to say such a thing.

What can I do?

Eric knew very well that although there were many objective factors in his failure, sometimes it was because he was held back by the higher-ups, and sometimes it was because the game of ioi was indeed far behind GOG... But no matter what, losing is lost!

He is completely defeated by Boss Pei, the kind who is beaten by fancy tricks.

Moreover, Tengda has a lot of talents, such an awesome game as GOG, version updates, numerical balance, operation activities, e-sports events, etc., it is definitely impossible for Mr. Pei to do it himself. These tasks are all done by Tengda's internal employees Responsible.

Even if President Pei's huge role is excluded, these employees should not be underestimated!

How else could it be said that the Tengda game department is the core department of the entire Tengda Group, and anyone who is pulled out can open up a new industry and expand the territory for Mr. Pei's business empire.

In the end, Mr. Pei was not satisfied with the person in charge of GOG?Did you say you wanted to replace it?
Give me this seat?

Eric felt that this was quite unreal, but looking carefully at Mr. Pei's expression, he seemed to be very serious, and he was not joking at all.

So he really started thinking about the possibility.

Seeing Eric fall silent, Pei Qian suddenly realized a problem: "Oh, I overlooked a problem."

"You can be regarded as a high-level executive of the Dayak Group. You shouldn't have signed a non-competition agreement?"

"If you change jobs, how much liquidated damages do you have to pay?"

Small companies are fine, but large companies will basically sign non-competition agreements and non-disclosure agreements with high-level executives, just to prevent malicious poaching by rival companies.

The confidentiality agreement is easy to understand, which means that even if an employee leaves the company, they cannot disclose or take away company secrets, otherwise they will bear corresponding responsibilities.

Otherwise, the high-level job-hopping directly took the company's secrets to the competitor's company, wouldn't that be all messed up?
As for the non-compete agreement, it restricts the same things, but the content of the specific restrictions is different.

Generally speaking, non-competition agreements are mainly aimed at key and indispensable high-level personnel, restricting them from engaging in part-time jobs in the same business during their employment, and not being able to join competitors in the same field for a period of time after leaving the job.

How much is this "period of time"? Different companies have different regulations, but generally it is two years. After all, it is too short and meaningless.

Of course, the content of the agreement cannot be written too broadly.

For example, a company wrote in the non-competition agreement that employees are not allowed to join any domestic or foreign Internet companies within two years after leaving the company. This is too much, because the concept of Internet companies is too broad. Nong's company?
Therefore, it is generally accurate to a specific field, such as social software, shopping websites, etc.

For example, game companies often indicate that they are not allowed to join other game companies, and individuals are not allowed to start game companies.

Or, it will be stated that certain companies are not allowed to join, and the name of the company will be written clearly.These companies are often large companies in the industry. Although their main businesses are different, there is competition, which is normal.

After signing the non-employment agreement, the employees are restricted, so the company must also provide certain compensation: after the employee leaves the company, they will continue to be paid on a monthly basis, usually more than 30% of the original rated income, which can be regarded as compliance with the non-competition agreement "Hushroom fee" and "compensation fee".

If the company does not give money for a few months, then the restrictions imposed by the non-compete agreement on employees will be invalidated.

But the Dayak Group is a serious and large company, and these aspects must be extremely formal.

If Eric really signed a non-compete agreement, it would be a little troublesome.

If you want to poach people, you have to pay liquidated damages. The situation of each company is different, but at least it will cost several million.

The point is, the system does not necessarily allow Pei Qian to spend this money to poach people.

Eric nodded: "There is a non-compete agreement."

Pei Qian felt a little bit pained.

What's wrong with this?

Ask Eric to talk to the senior management of Dayak Group to cancel this non-compete agreement?

Wouldn't that be tantamount to telling others that I'm going to switch to a competitor's company?

The senior executives of the Dayak Group are not stupid, how could they agree.

It's a bit tricky.

Eric pondered for a moment, and said: "But if I really want to change jobs and come to Tengda, this non-compete agreement may not really restrict me."

Pei Qian: "?"

For a moment, he couldn't think of the specific background of people who could say such words.

Why, is it possible that the chief judge in Europe is a relative of your family?
Seeing Mr. Pei's slightly astonished expression, Eric knew that he must have misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Of course I can't violate the content of the non-compete agreement itself, but if I want to change jobs to Tengda, it doesn't matter. will not be restricted by this non-compete agreement."

"Because Tengda did not meet the conditions agreed in the non-compete agreement."

Pei Qian still didn't understand.

Tenda's GOG and Zhitou's ioi have played out a dog-brained competitive relationship. Is this an iron-clad fact?
So Eric, as the person in charge of ioi, jumped to GOG, which would trigger a non-compete agreement, right?

Eric explained: "My situation is a little bit special."

"Actually, whether it's in the Dayak Group or in Zhitou, there are non-compete agreements."

"The non-competition agreement on the Zhitou company stipulates that the top managers and core designers are not allowed to join any other game company within two years after leaving the company, including Tengda naturally."

"But I'm not an employee of Zhitou Company, so I didn't sign this non-compete agreement with Zhitou Company."

"As for the non-compete agreement on Dayak Group's side, the situation is different from that on Zhitou's side."

"Dayak Group's main business is in the direction of water, transportation, energy, media, etc. Although it has bought some game companies, it is not the main business at all."

"Besides, my original department was the media department, so my non-competition agreement mainly restricts me from joining other European and American media companies, as well as water, transportation, energy and other companies that are in direct competition with Dayak Group. .”

"In addition, it is also restricted from joining some internationally famous Internet companies, such as several large companies in Silicon Valley."

"Although this scope is very wide, Tenda is indeed not among them..."

Pei Qian was shocked.

Can you do this?

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he was really not affected!

In fact, there are also some executives in China who change jobs among major companies, but those who have signed a non-compete agreement basically cannot escape, and they will be accurate when they are sued.

After all, whether the two companies have a competitive relationship or not can be seen at a glance.

But Eric's situation is obviously very special.

He wasn't originally in the game business, but was in charge of some affairs in the media company of the Dayak Group.

After Dayac Group acquired Finger Company, on the one hand, it wanted to strengthen its control over Finger Company, and on the other hand, it also wanted to better expand ioi's business in the national service, so Eric was parachuted over to be the person in charge.

Although Eric was in charge of the game business first, it was not written in his non-compete agreement.

Just like a company that develops mobile phones, it will not state in the non-compete agreement that it is not allowed to work as a designer in a game company, let alone state that it is not allowed to wash dishes or work as a waiter in a restaurant.

Because even if other executives change jobs, they have to jump to their main business.

The so-called non-compete agreement is to hope that employees will not jump to the same industry to form a competitive relationship with themselves, and it is also to prevent large companies from maliciously poaching each other and destroying the employment environment.

If people change industries and don't let them work, isn't that playing hooligans?The law will not support it at all.

However, Eric has crossed industries because of business expansion, which made the content constrained in the original non-compete agreement invalid...

Of course, this agreement also named many large companies in various fields, but Tenda was not among them.

Because Tengda is a Chinese company, and it took nearly two or three years to really rise, Dayak Group had never heard of it before, so how could it be possible to write Tengda's name in the non-compete agreement without knowing it?

Pei Qian never expected that this would be possible.

Moreover, he suddenly realized that he and Eric were seriously discussing the possibility of job hopping...

This made Eric also fall into silence, feeling that this topic was a bit wrong.

It may be that Mr. Pei's thirst for talents is so palpable that Eric was infected unconsciously.

Pei Qian's voice suddenly became louder: "That's easy!"

"Brother Ai, when will you be able to join the job? It shouldn't take a few days for you to go back and go through the resignation procedures?"

Eric was a little shocked, shouldn't he be in such a hurry?

Mr. Pei is really unreserved, and has no airs of leadership at all.

But isn't this exactly where Mr. Pei's personality charm lies?

After pondering for a moment, Eric said: "Mr. Pei, this incident is too sudden. I'm not mentally prepared yet. Let me think about it carefully."

"And... if I really want to join Tengda, I have a small request."

"Can you recruit Mr. Zhao from Longyu Group?"

"I have a tacit understanding of cooperation with him, and I hope to continue to work together."

"Of course, if Mr. Pei thinks he's not capable enough, forget it. Besides, Mr. Zhao probably has a non-compete agreement on his back, so this matter may not be easy to deal with."

Pei Qian nodded immediately: "Okay! No problem!"

Pei Qian had an impression of Zhao Xuming, and he was very impressed.

He seems to have no ability, the only outstanding ability is not to take the blame.

If such a person can continue to combine with Eric, wouldn't the possibility of losing money be greatly increased?

When the time comes, let Eric be in charge of the overseas market, let Zhao Xuming be in charge of the domestic market, one for the outside and the other for the inside, work together!

Of course, if Zhao Xuming really had a non-compete agreement, Pei Qian really didn't know how to solve it.

We can only think of a way to see if we can reach some kind of interest cooperation with Longyu Group and exchange Zhao Xuming.

If it really doesn't work, then forget it, it can only be said that there is no fate.

If there is only one Eric, although it is not perfect, it should be enough.
