Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Car Website and Option Incentives
Most of them were impeccably dressed in suits in this weather. Most of them were exactly the gains of Jinling and their trip to the United States last month, that is, the creative team of Jiasheng\'s car website.
\'The office space is still limited,\' said the man in his prime after looking around. "With less than 1,000 square metres, it\'s really not enough for operations,\'
said Cui Yunling, who had been the vice president of the American car website "Car Domain\'. He was one of the first people to go abroad and was originally considered successful, but just a bit unlucky.
At the end of the previous boom, he couldn\'t hold back any longer and resolutely resigned, sold all his shares, and partnered with a few people to set up an Internet company. Unexpectedly, before the company could attract venture capital, the cold wave of the Internet came roaring in. This really fulfilled the saying, \'one night back to before liberation,\' and he was middle-aged and broke.
If he hadn\'t ended up in this situation, he would obviously not have been willing to return to China to work. Jin Ling chose him because he was a good fit for the industry.
\'General Cui, don\'t worry, these are not problems. The university science and technology park is very supportive of student entrepreneurship, because the science and technology park also needs the entry of star enterprises. The main reason is that we only told the park management committee about the general situation of the two companies, and there is not even a prototype, so for the time being, we are only given such a large place.
As long as we develop, these problems will not be a problem. The park will naturally cooperate actively. If we develop quickly, it will not be a problem to be allocated a plot of land for us to build on our own,\' said Jin Ling.
\'Cui has been in the United States for a long time and has forgotten the strength of domestic organisations,\' said a bespectacled man in a T-shirt and jeans. \'If they really put their minds to it, they can definitely think what you think and be concerned about what you are concerned about.\'
This person is Zhu Qiuyuan, who is due to be appointed Chief Technology Officer. He graduated from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, the training ground for China\'s IT talent, in the country known as the land of abundance. After graduation, he stayed in the United States and was the technical backbone of the several companies he worked for, but he was unable to escape the onset of this wave of cold.
At the same time, he was impressed by his schoolmate Ding, who founded NetEase, one of the three major portals in China, and felt that there was also a spring in China, so he also participated in the recruitment fair at Jiasheng.
However, he is somewhat different from Cui Yunling. Cui Yunling and the others went abroad at that time, selling everything they could sell and disposing of everything they could dispose of, which is equivalent to severing all ties with the country. Moreover, after going abroad, they basically had no intention of returning.
Zhu Qiuyuan, who went abroad in the mid-1990s, is different. His parents are still alive, he still owns his house, and he visits his family every year, so he has not lost touch with the country. He is still very familiar with the situation in China.
\'Haha, you are both right. After so many years away from the country, I am really a bit rusty when it comes to these things. But I completely understand what you mean. The premise of all this is for us to achieve results. No problem. With a luxury team like ours, what can\'t we do well?\' Cui Yunling said.
\'President Cui forgot to mention another point,\' said Han Guofang, one of the only two women in the team and the intended COO. \'In addition to these domestic people, those of us who have returned this time are all breaking up the boat and sinking the ship.\'
This made several people in the team shake their heads and smile wryly. Indeed, a few years ago, a decade ago, they had worked hard to go abroad, and now they were running back again, for similar reasons. But doesn\'t that amount to breaking up the boat and sinking the ship?
\'This is not necessarily a bad thing,\' said Song Xinping, the CFO designate, who had stayed in China. He pushed up his glasses. \'Judging from the current trend of economic growth in China, it won\'t be long before the opportunities for development in China are no worse than those in Europe and the United States. At that time, it is estimated that there will be a huge wave of returning waves, and those who return then will not have the same good opportunities as we do now.\'
\'Yes, what Mr Song said,\' nodded the few who had no choice but to return. However, they were somewhat insincere, as in their view, the opportunities for development in China to catch up with Europe and the US was not something that could be achieved in the short term.
\'And I very much agree with Ping\'s assertion that in a few years\' time, our domestic car production and sales volume will definitely leap to the top of the world,\' Song Xinping added.
This time, the few who had returned were even more disapproving. In those developed countries in Europe and America, the automobile market had been cultivated for hundreds of years. How could China hope to surpass them in the short term?
So from the bottom of their hearts, they only regarded Song Xinping\'s words as patriotic rhetoric.
They just didn\'t expect that the finance department, which should logically be cold-natured and rigorous in speech and action, was actually such an irrational person.
After a while, the group went upstairs, just in time for the first formal meeting of the entrepreneurship club to finish. The young girls and boys who had returned to school looked at these very professional people next to them with slightly envious and yearning eyes.
Little did they know that most of these people next to them actually envied them more!
They were just hiding it well. So young and full of vitality! If they could, they would really trade everything for it.
\'Have you seen the downstairs area? What do you think?\' Feng Yiping walked out of the meeting room with a smile, shaking hands with everyone, \'Come, let\'s go into the meeting room and talk,\'
At this, the employees were even more envious of Feng Yiping. When would they be able to boss around so many people who looked so impressive, just like him?
\'Chairman Feng really has a lot of energy,\' Cui Yunling said with a smile, \'and he\'s so dedicated to the university clubs. We heard part of your speech, and I must say, even as a layman, I found it quite reasonable,\'
\'You\'re too kind, Mr Cui. One person\'s opinion doesn\'t count for much. And you have to join a few clubs during your university years. Besides, to be honest, my main goal is to identify and cultivate some qualified talent for the company. There\'s no way around it. Talents like you guys are not just going to come along,\'
\'And, let me stress again, everyone is my senior, so in the company, just call me by my name,\' Feng Yiping emphasised again.
In the company, it was decided at the beginning that there would be no job titles, and this rule has been well implemented. Everyone calls each other by their age, so now everyone in the company who knows him calls him by his first name, not "President Feng". But these few people still haven\'t got used to it in the past few days.
Frankly speaking, Feng Yiping felt that it was not a very pleasant thing for these people, who did not know him very well, to surround a student like himself, who had not even grown any facial hair yet. It was really unnecessary to make them constantly confirm this in their address.
The reason Feng Yiping emphasised this point was actually to subtly make everyone form the idea that the company was a company and also a big family.
This is especially important for those who have worked abroad for many years, who can clearly distinguish between public and private matters, and who put their own interests first.
\'Then I won\'t be polite, Yiping. The company has treated us well by giving us this opportunity. Please rest assured that we will cherish it,\' Cui Yunling expressed everyone\'s attitude on behalf of everyone.
Then they looked at the lazy sofas and were a little dumbfounded. Should they sit on these in their suits and ties?
\'We\'re all family, just sit anywhere,\' Feng Yiping said, and moved over the few chairs that were barely decent. \'President Cui, you\'re too kind. It\'s the company\'s honour to have you join us! Since we have some time today, I\'d like to ask everyone for their opinions on the car website plan,\'
\'We have been discussing that plan over and over again these past few days. We heard that it was mainly your idea, and we were all very shocked. It\'s really good and very feasible! As you said, as long as it is operated properly, in the future our website will attract 50-60% of car users nationwide, with an average daily coverage of 4-5 million people, which is really no problem,\' said Cui Yunling.
\'Moreover, although there are already quite a few such websites abroad, at present, in China, our website is the first professional automobile website, which is also a very big advantage. As long as it is properly promoted, it can definitely achieve a leading position,\' said Han Guofang.
\'Personally, I have also logged on to some foreign automobile websites, and I feel that the website in our plan is more professional and more comprehensive than those, so I think it should be better,\' Song Xinping, who is really not your average finance officer, is very enthusiastic and seems a bit cynical.
\'Since everyone agrees, then next, I\'ll ask everyone to get the website online as soon as possible. I also agree with President Han\'s view that the first company always has some innate advantages, and we shouldn\'t lose this title.\'
\'No problem, by the end of the year, Jiasheng Motors will definitely be able to go online,\' Cui Yunling promised.
...
After seeing those people off, Jin Ling returned, \'The few people who returned from abroad have repeatedly asked me about the option incentive,\'
\'It\'s understandable. They came back mainly for the money. I\'m going to have to trouble you with this one. Gather the various departments at headquarters and come up with a plan. Other companies will want to use it in the future,\'
Feng Yiping had anticipated this problem. Of all the companies, Jiasheng Motors had the largest proportion of management with overseas work experience. Having spent so much time in capitalist countries, they were all very pragmatic.
Fortunately, he had been aiming for an IPO from the start.
\'In addition, when signing a supplementary agreement to the stock option plan, be sure to have them sign a non-compete agreement as well. The terms must be strict, not only be performance-based, but the compensation for breach of contract must be high, and the stock exercised in the event of a breach must also be recovered.\'
These money-oriented management teams, in a sense, have the lowest loyalty to the company. It is not uncommon for our domestic companies to poach employees from competitors, and foreign-funded companies have since surpassed them in this regard.
\'I\'m worried that this kind of thing will make other company management follow suit?\'
\'Don\'t worry, the companies we\'re preparing for an IPO, such as the budget hotel chain, are the ones that won\'t mention it. The company will definitely have to have such a plan in place by then, but I just didn\'t expect it to be implemented by the company that was formed the latest,\'
