At the beginning of July, it was the end of the semester. When the Ancient Poetry Company was preparing to open and students were nervously preparing for exams, the School of Computer Science had a personnel change that not many students paid attention to.
The original dean retired and a new dean was "airborne".
When Wei Qingfan learned the news, it was already the afternoon of the 7th, and the company had officially started work, but the software department still left a place for Tang Tingyue.
Next, it depends on whether Tang Tingyue is willing to accept it. If he accepts, everything will be easy to talk about. If he doesn't accept, he will have to find other alternatives to discuss.
In other words, this can be regarded as an "ultimatum" in a sense, but it has little deterrent effect.
He was very capable. After learning about this incident, he did not hesitate and went directly to Tang Tingyue's office. Only to find that the door was closed, he had to curl his lips and leave.
Just as he turned around and took two steps, he saw Tang Tingyue coming out of the elevator.
The two met each other, and Wei Qingfan immediately smiled and said, "Director Tang, what a coincidence?"
Tang Tingyue glanced at him, his eyes lingering on his empty hands for a moment, without saying a word, he walked over, opened the office, and walked in.
Wei Qingfan followed him in naturally. Tang Tingyue sat on the sofa and asked straight to the point, "Is something wrong?"
Wei Qingfan sat down opposite him and said with a smile, "Why don't you think about it?"
Tang Tingyue obviously understood what he meant. He didn't ask questions knowingly, but he didn't answer, so he had time to boil water and make tea.
Wei Qingfan was not in a hurry. He sat there and watched him make tea. When the tea was brewed, he took his own cup and blew on it and sipped it slowly.
Tang Tingyue sipped the tea, raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then put down the tea cup and asked: "What should I do?"
Wei Qingfan said: "Responsible for the software department, but the software department is currently divided into two parts, one is system customization, and the other is the development of software applications. You are responsible for the system."
Tang Tingyue asked: "Who is responsible for the software?"
"My name is Wang Qinggen, I wonder if you have heard of it."
Tang Tingyue was stunned, "Isn't he in the United States?"
"came back."
Wei Qingfan didn't expect that he actually knew him. He couldn't help but grinned and asked curiously: "Do you know him?"
"I went to the United States to attend a conference before and met him. He is a genius boy."
Tang Tingyue quickly lost his expression of surprise, picked up the tea cup again, and asked casually: "What kind of treatment will you give him?"
"It seems like you can't just talk about it casually, right?"
Wei Qingfan smiled, leaned back on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Same as you, the annual salary is one hundred and fifty plus bonuses, and the dividend is five thousandths, but he just returned to China, so I rented it to him for free.
Let’s buy a house and then take it back when he buys his own house.”
Tang Tingyue glanced at him again but said nothing.
Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "If you want, I can also give you a house, but as agreed, the house is still mine, I just lend it to you to live in."
Tang Tingyue did not answer the question and asked again: "Who else is there?"
"Wang Qinggen brought over a dozen people from there, including five who worked on the system. They were all senior engineers. The highest one was given an annual salary of 800,000 yuan. Wang Qinggen's evaluation was that he had strong technical ability, but he did not lead the university independently.
project experience.”
Wei Qingfan gave a very frank introduction and answered all questions. "So I contacted a vice president of Google China Research Institute named Lin Bin. I wonder if you have any impression? The terms have not been negotiated yet."
This Lin Bin was the person from Xiaomi in later generations. He did contact him, but the other party wanted to directly ask for shares instead of dividends, and he wanted 5%. However, they could not reach an agreement and were rejected by Wei Qingfan.
The reason for the rejection was first of all because the two parties had different ideas. After learning that Wei Qingfan had no plans to go public, the other party's intention was not very strong. The second reason was the issue of remuneration.
Wei Qingfan still had alternatives, but the other party was not in the alternative list, so naturally he was not willing to make too many concessions.
From a certain point of view, he admires the founders of Xiaomi in his heart. He affirms their abilities, but also looks down on them. This is not about ability, but about the structure.
Xiaomi was established in 2010 and released its first mobile phone in 2011. It took six years to become the number one sales company in China, and then it has been on a decline.
If Huawei had not been sanctioned, Xiaomi's fate might not have been any better than Meizu's when OV switched to the front and attacked Xiaomi's base camp.
This is directly related to Xiaomi's philosophy. Compared with Xiaomi's size and status, the vision and structure of these managers are too different. They are like monkeys breaking corn, without long-term goals, and they focus too much on short-term gains and refuse to
If you invest for a long time, it is normal for you to slowly show decline in long-distance running.
In addition, he has the foresight brought by his rebirth, and his grasp of the future development trend of the entire industry is unparalleled. What he currently needs more is workers, executors, and executives with forward-looking vision.
The need is not urgent.
Tang Tingyue seemed to know Lin Bin. He nodded and then asked: "How many people were poached from the list I gave you?"
"Seven."
Wei Qingfan gave a bitter smile, "We haven't agreed on the one we want most. They want not only money, but also a platform to display their ambitions. They think my startup team is too small and has no future."
Tang Tingyue showed a smile on his face and asked: "Xiao Jiasheng?"
Wei Qingfan nodded helplessly. This Xiao Jiasheng currently works at Microsoft Research Asia (formerly Microsoft Research China). He was born as a genius boy. He entered the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 12, and received a doctorate from the University of Washington at the age of 23. He is 34 years old this year.
Vice president of Microsoft Research Asia, in charge of the technology and R&D department.
Currently, this person is hesitating whether to transfer to Microsoft headquarters, and has not shown much interest in the invitation from a small start-up company like Gu Shici.
Tang Tingyue didn't seem surprised by the result. He refilled Wei Qingfan's cup of tea and asked with a smile: "I've always been curious, how did you convince Zhang Yuanping to do it with you?"
Wei Qingfan had an idea in his mind and said with a smile: "I promised him that I will make mobile phone processors in the future."
Tang Tingyue looked at him again in surprise, paused and said, "I want to hear about your ambitions."
"Ah?" Wei Qingfan looked confused.
Tang Tingyue drank a cup of tea, looked at him and said: "You are only twenty years old this year. You have a net worth of hundreds of millions. You sell goods from top to bottom. You don't own any famous brands or buy a car. You have to walk to find a girlfriend at Peking University.
, take a taxi, take the bus... I'm curious, what is your ambition?"
"Director Tang, do you care about me so much?"
Wei Qingfan was a little surprised, then thought about it and said with a smile: "I want to be a technology company with software and hardware in my own hands from the inside out, and make a small contribution to the rejuvenation of the motherland and the development of human science and technology.
…Is this too ambitious?”
Tang Tingyue did not make any comments, but just smiled and asked: "When you come this time, do you still have the same conditions for me?"
Wei Qingfan nodded and said with a grimace: "Director Tang, you also know that making mobile phones costs money...I can't offer better terms."
Tang Tingyue laughed, laughed twice, drank another cup of tea slowly, then looked at him and said: "What if I don't want salary, but just shares?"
"Well……"
Wei Qingfan was a little embarrassed for a moment. He leaned on the sofa and thought about it, then asked: "How many do you want?"
Tang Tingyue looked at him and stretched out a finger.
"1%?"
Wei Qingfan clapped his thigh excitedly and sat up straight, "Okay! No problem! I promise you!"
"roll!"
Tang Tingyue wished he could slap this guy out of the window, "I don't want a penny of salary, but how can you use 1% of the shares to get rid of children?"
Wei Qingfan curled his lips.
Tang Tingyue said seriously: "10%."
Just as Wei Qingfan was about to speak, Tang Tingyue waved his hand and continued to pour tea and drink tea, saying: "This is just the condition, there is no need to negotiate. If you agree, I will make a bet with you and help you bring Xiao Jiasheng over.
If you don't agree, just do it yourself and don't bother me again in the future."
"Are you talking like a lion?"
Wei Qingfan was very helpless, "10% of my registered capital of 300 million is 30 million... How about I give you a discount, you invest 10 million, and then add my technology as a share, I will give you 5
%?”
Tang Tingyue drank tea by himself and ignored him.
Wei Qingfan didn't do any ink, so he got up and left.
After taking two steps, he looked back.
Tang Tingyue did not move.
Wei Qingfan took two more steps and looked back.
Tang Tingyue still didn't move.
He simply walked to the door. Tang Tingyue finally said: "I have been working here for nearly ten years and have cooperated with major companies. If I step in, nine out of ten people on the list can be brought over to you.
, there are also many capable and cheap students who have left the school... When I gave you the list, I also hid a few people. It’s hard to say their personalities, but their abilities are not picky. As long as you give me money, I will
I can pull him over to you."
Wei Qingfan stood at the door for a moment, then closed the door. Of course, he also shut himself in. He leaned against the door and thought for a while, then said: "3% dividend is not shares."
Tang Tingyue turned around and was about to speak when Wei Qingfan added: "The 3% dividend will not be affected by the share change. In addition, I will prepare to increase the dividend based on my position in the future. Your share will continue to be paid and will not be affected.
.”
Tang Tingyue glanced at him, then waved his hand and lowered his head to drink tea.
Wei Qingfan sighed helplessly and said, "Then you can make a price that is somewhat sincere."
Tang Tingyue continued to drink tea, while Wei Qingfan did not leave, just stood there and waited.
After a long while, the tea over there was no longer heated by the air conditioner. Tang Tingyue finally said: "Then I will take a step back. The shares will be 7%, and the dividends will be 14%!"
"Go ahead and dream!"
Wei Qingfan almost couldn't help but go up and kick the old bastard, opened the door and left.
The moment the door closed, I finally heard a voice coming from inside: "Wait!"
Wei Qingfan immediately changed his face, quickly opened the door and went in. He smiled and asked, "Changed your mind?"
Tang Tingyue took a breath, stood up and looked at him, slowly exhaled, and said: "5% shares or 10% dividends. In addition, I want salary. This is the bottom line."
Wei Qingfan thought for a moment and said: "3% dividend plus salary."
Tang Tingyue looked at him, finally showing some anger, and waved his hand, "Then let's go."
"I do not go."
Wei Qingfan continued to lean against the door, "If I leave, wouldn't all this time be wasted? Besides, there are no pitfalls, and you won't be able to get promoted. What's the point of staying here?"
Why not take a gamble with me, right?"
Tang Tingyue said nothing.
Wei Qingfan said: "Well, let's not push it. One price, 5% dividend... plus 20,000 yuan for living expenses every month, I can only give so much. In the future, so many people in the company will have to pay
Dividends, if you want more, I really can’t afford it.”
Tang Tingyue was silent for a while, looked at him and asked: "Huawei?"
Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "If you want the horse to run, you have to give it grass, right?"
Tang Tingyue was silent again, this time for a long time. During this period, his phone rang twice and he pressed it directly.
After pressing down the phone for the second time, he finally sighed again, walked over, stretched out a hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll sell myself to you at this price."
