Top of the big era

"Because of the internal network."

Although Wang Xing tried his best to conceal it, he couldn't hide the pride and complacency on his face, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

When he started his business as Haineiwang, the reason why he chose this name was to compare with Xiaoneiwang, which means "all brothers in the world" and "confidants in the sea are like neighbors at the end of the world".

The name is more atmospheric than Xiaonei.

The market positioning is the global Chinese community, especially the group of overseas students.

But after two years of work, the scale of the domestic network has been slow to increase, and the commercialization model has been hard to find. Unable to get financing, he pays the wages for the employees out of his own pocket, and he is a little bit unable to handle it.

Can only be sold.

After Ziweixing acquired Haineiwang, it did not operate well. Although it is not closed, it is not maintained, and it is in a half-life state.

Because in Zhou Buqi's view, the positioning of Hainei.com was wrong from the very beginning. If it is an enterprise-level website, it can connect China and foreign countries. It is impossible to build a website that connects China and foreign countries based on ordinary people. Either only do the domestic market, or only do the overseas market, just like Douyin and TikTok are isolated.

No one can penetrate the wall.

But I didn't expect...

"Hainei? Isn't it turned off?" Zhou Buqi was surprised.

Wang Xing said with a smile: "It's not closed, it just stopped updating. But after receiving the assignment of Plan A and Plan X, I thought we lacked communication channels with Silicon Valley, so I thought of Hainei.com. Among the overseas students, the main More than 20,000 students in science and engineering are using it. So I hired 3 technicians to re-maintain the internal network, and added a section introducing the status quo of the domestic Internet industry.”

Zhou Buqi excitedly said, "The effect is so obvious?"

Wang Xing shook his head, "I'm not a star. After screening, judging from the basic information of users, there are about 5,000 people who meet our standards. Some are students at school, and some have already entered Silicon Valley to work. I sent out more than 1,000 invitations in total, and then I got a job. Got 33 replies."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "It's already very good! How much did it cost?"

"No money."

"What?"

"If you want to talk about spending money, it means spending on maintaining the domestic network."

"No, you recruited so many people back to China without spending money?"

Zhou Buqi expressed disbelief.

Technical talents engaged in the Internet industry, even junior engineers, can get stock options from the beginning of their employment. If you jump out of the contract, it may cause the option to be damaged.

If the company voluntarily lays off employees, it is a breach of contract by the company, and adequate compensation must be made. If the employee voluntarily quits, this is a breach of contract by the employee, and he will suffer losses in terms of options.

When companies deal with options for job-hopping employees, there are often 5 ways.

First, complete deprivation.

Second, repurchase according to net assets;

Third, repurchase according to the converted original investment;

Fourth, repurchase according to the fair market price (valuation);

Fifth, keep it.

From top to bottom, it is more and more beneficial to the departing employees.

For most IT companies, the processing methods are the first and the second, and there is not much difference between the two. Internet companies are all asset-light, and the asset value is far lower than the market value.

Ziweixing is quite humane, and treats resigned employees in the third way, repurchasing them according to the original investment ratio. That is to say, no matter how much the employee spent to buy it, the company will spend as much to repurchase it, and no one will suffer.

Even for employees of large companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, it is difficult to implement the fourth or fifth plan for employees who break the contract and jump out of the contract.

So this greatly increases the difficulty of poaching people in the IT industry.

The poaching company must offer a bargaining chip that is much higher than its own value, and may even have a certain amount of resignation compensation to make up for its losses.

Wang Xing said with a smile: "It really doesn't need to spend money. I selected some fresh graduates this time, and those who have worked in small companies for less than a year, and those whose contracts in large companies are about to expire. There will be nothing Job-hopping obstacles."

"What about small businesses?"

"If you have worked in a small company for less than a year, even if you can get options, it is very small. Moreover, the competition in Silicon Valley is also very fierce. It is still unknown whether small companies can survive. If the company is dead, the options are worthless. It is better to return to China If you join Ziwei Star, you can get stable options."

"Well, it makes sense!"

Zhou Buqi is very satisfied.

Sure enough, he is a man without merit under his reputation.

This job was done with too much care.

After this wave of operations, the original cost of acquiring the overseas network may be doubled and earned back.

Wang Xing said: "If possible, I hope to send a team to the United States to interview these people. In addition to the personnel aspect, there is also a technical aspect. I only contacted these 33 people online, and a lot of information may not be true. We still have to conduct an on-site inspection. If all goes well, this group of people will be able to join the job in mid-July."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, you are the person in charge, you can arrange it. Well, Zhang Yiming seems to be going to Silicon Valley with Wang Jian to investigate Amazon Cloud. If you are interested, you can also go and have a look."

"Dr. Wang Jian?" Wang Xing was a little surprised, "He agreed to change jobs?"

"Not yet, but it's coming soon. When the A round is done and the news is released, he should join Ziwei Star."

"oh?"

"When Ali participates in Ziweixing's A round and the two parties reach an in-depth strategic cooperation, he should give up."

...

Ziweixing wants to build a headquarters park in the capital, but it has no money.

You can only go to the government for help.

Sohu just took a piece of land at a very low price and enjoyed a lot of discounts. Zhou Buqi went upstairs, intending to ask Lao Zhang for advice.

But found that Lao Zhang was out of his mind.

"Hey, the lover is here!"

Seeing Zhou Buqi, Zhang Chaoyang's eyes lit up, as if he saw the savior.

Zhou Buqi looked puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Your boy has a great way of chasing girls, come and tell me about it."

Zhou Buqi was angry and funny, "Who are you going to blame again? Which female celebrity?"

"Not a female star."

"The hostess?"

"No."

"Changed taste?"

Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand, "Stop talking nonsense, let's be serious, give me some advice on this matter."

Zhou Buqi shook his head and said, "When chasing a girl, of course it means trusting each other with sincerity. With strong true feelings, icebergs can melt."

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "Don't give me poisonous chicken soup. It's like this. I have an employee who is not too high-ranking. Some time ago, he brought his girlfriend to Sohu's internal party. That girl... is more beautiful than a star , with temperament and style, like a girl from the Republic of China."

"Damn it!" Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide, unbelievable, "Old Zhang, old Zhang, is this over? Even snatching the girlfriends of his employees?"

Zhang Chaoyang snorted, "What do you know? I've already talked to him, fair competition. Let the girl choose herself, and she can follow whoever she likes, and don't play sneaky things."

"Oh...then you failed?"

"I asked them to come out for dinner that day. The girl said that she believes in pure love. They are each other's first love, and they will go on forever."

Zhou Buqi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's not bad, why break up the family?"

Zhang Chaoyang snorted disdainfully, "If it's true love, how can I break it up?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Stop talking to me, bullshit love! You are a big boss, a rich man, if you make a move, which girl can refuse? First love is useless!"

Zhang Chaoyang looked at him contemptuously, "You are too low! What I pursue is the relationship and the spiritual world. Even if it is a female star, I don't spend money on it. I don't have money either!"

Zhou Buqi didn't bother to talk to him, he still had feelings... You are over half a hundred years old, and you still want to cultivate a relationship with other girls? Are you too narcissistic?

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Zhang Chaoyang sighed, "Forget it, I'll think of a way. What's the matter with you coming up this time?"

"Looking for you to inquire about building a building."

"Um?"

"The branch park has a total investment of 1 billion. The headquarters park in the capital has less investment, and the leaders of the government don't look good. But funding is a big problem."

"Aren't you financing?"

"That's for business development. I want to do cloud computing, and $1.5 billion may not be enough. How can I have money to build a building?"

"Don't you have land?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "That's what I'm talking about. Loans alone may not be enough. What kind of policies do you think you can get? Aren't you in real estate, you should have a lot of experience."

Zhang Chaoyang snorted, "Sohu is a high-tech company, not a real estate company."

"Transformed?"

"Transformation fart!"

"Ha ha!"

"Okay, I really came up with a solution that can help you solve the problem. But...you have to give me a trick."

Zhou Buqi's face darkened, "Don't break up the fateful mandarin ducks."

Zhang Chaoyang shook his head, disapprovingly, "If they are really in love, are they still afraid of my appearance? Real gold is not afraid of fire! If it is fake love, then we should separate as soon as possible."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "There is no such thing as true love or fake love. Human nature cannot stand the test."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Yes, but they both said that they are pure, pure, and unwavering true love. If it is true, then I bless them. Besides, I pursue the girl I like, Break the law?"

"Unethical."

"I've said it all, I'm fair competition. I told that employee, I don't buy things for that girl, I don't arrange work, I don't contact privately, I don't even make phone calls or send text messages. The only thing I can do is wait for them to make peace. I only made a move after we broke up. Isn't that too much?"

"Then just provoke me..."

"Instigate a fart! I said, I want to use fair means, don't give me such a dirty trick. That girl is really nice. If I really get together with that little employee, I will definitely bless them both. , and will give you a big red envelope when you get married."

Zhou Buqi didn't want to talk to him.

In his view, this is not equal at all.

This kind of big boss and rich man, even if he doesn't make a move, it will be an invisible attraction when he stops there. Once the identity is revealed, love can be crushed. The love in school is better. The young lovers have never seen the world, and their knowledge is still very shallow. This kind of love that has entered the society, the more it sees the world, the more fragile it will be.

Zhang Chaoyang seemed to see what he meant, "I repeat, I don't want to use my identity, wealth, power and social status to influence girls. I want fair competition! Any method that violates public order and good customs will not work! Don't slander my Morality!"

"Fair competition for farts, stop talking."

"Is there anything you can do?"

"Ten thousand ways."

"Then what do you say? You teach me this trick, and I will teach you how to cover the headquarters park."

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, and asked casually: "The company party you held, that employee can participate, does it mean that the performance is good?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Well, it's good."

Zhou Buqi said: "Let's talk about the beauty of being an adult. You can organize a lottery for outstanding employees. If you win the lottery, you can take a seven-day trip to Dubai for two, and Sohu will bear the round-trip and accommodation expenses. Let him win the lottery and go out with his girlfriend." One week. Doesn't this violate public order and morals?"

"It's a good thing to do."

"That's all right. I've finished my solution, should I talk about yours?"
