If you only talk about his career, Lu Qi has basically reached the top.

This is North America, the territory of foreigners, and he can be a Chinese at the vice president level in a company like Yahoo, responsible for the company's two pillars.

This is already touching the ceiling!

Although Yahoo was also founded by Chinese, at this scale, it is no longer up to the founder alone to have the final say.

The entanglement of interests behind it is too complicated, it can also be said to be ****, the founder is just a representative symbol, and the real major shareholder is no longer him.

And even if Lu Qi is in this position, no matter how high his contribution to Yahoo is, he is not eligible for equity incentives.

So over the years at Yahoo, he didn't have much sense of belonging, but he was very grateful for the appreciation and support of the company's founder and CEO, Mr. Yang.

Seriously, if Yahoo had given him enough equity, maybe there wouldn't be the scene where he and Cai Congxin met in a café today.

If the two meet again at that time, Lu Qi will receive Cai Congxin in the Yahoo headquarters office!

When he appeared in the café, it was enough to say something.

............

"This year, Facebook is going to show its strength in North America, how about it, Mr. Lu, are you interested in coming over to take charge of this company?" Cai Congxin said staring at Lu Qi's eyes.

Lu Qi's heart skipped a beat, and this question was finally placed in front of him.

Although it was expected, ......

It's still very difficult.

He lowered his head and stirred the coffee in front of him, there was no sugar or milk in the black coffee, and he didn't know what he was stirring.

Cai Congxin looked at Lu Qi and understood what he was thinking.

Also, if you change yourself, you don't dare to take a stand in the face of this situation.

On the one hand, he is not thin on his old club, but he is just not thin, and he can't be called a mountain.

On the other side are new, more tempting companies that may give themselves more, but ...... After all, I still haven't made a promise.

"I understand that Mr. Lu may not be too confident in the future development of Facebook North America. It's too detailed, what about me, I can't explain it to Mr. Lu in detail now. Let's just say something that can be said.

First, Facebook North America is completely independent of the mainland headquarters, and its shareholder relations, finance, personnel rights, and management rights are all independent. Moreover, strong strategic partners from Europe and the United States will be introduced. Therefore, for its development, Mr. Lu does not have to worry.

Second, the position of CEO of Facebook North America, Mr. Fei directly named Mr. Lu, thinking that you can pick up this burden. Mr. Lu may not know much about the style of the Facebook company, so I'll give you a simple example. When Mr. Fei poached me to Facebook, he gave me equity incentives that I couldn't get in other companies!

Mr. Fei is a person, and after a long time of contact, Mr. Lu will understand that you don't have to think about anything when you follow him, just do what you are doing, and you definitely don't have to worry about your treatment and income.

What Fei always gives you, it will be beyond your imagination!"

Cai Congxin's heart-to-heart conversation completely touched Lu Qi's heart.

Although Cai Congxin said it relatively simply, it contains a lot of information.

Facebook's North American independence and the introduction of strong strategic partners in Europe and the United States show that Facebook has a clear understanding of how to develop here.

Moreover, the current shareholders of Facebook have a large pattern and a long-term vision.

They understand that if they want to be full on someone else's territory, they have to share the cake with others!

It's easy to say, but when it comes to actually doing it, not many people can do it.

More people think that Lao Tzu has worked hard for the company, why should you come in to pick peaches!

Of course, such a company can only overturn the cake in the end, and no one wants to eat it.

Proper exchange of interests and getting to know more strong partners is always the key to the long-term development of an enterprise.

Facebook's shareholders are sober and generous on this point.

This point dispelled Lu Qi's concerns about whether Facebook's North American company could develop, and whether it could replicate Facebook's miracle on the road is another matter.

The second point Cai Congxin said is of course more critical for him!

In the final analysis, everyone is a working boy, even if he achieves the position of "working emperor", he is still just a senior working boy.

Under their own hard work, the company has developed and grown, so how much can you put in your pocket, this question is very important.

Mr. Cai also gave his own example, and after Facebook was listed, the shareholder relationship could be checked, and Mr. Cai's name was indeed in it.

The share incentives he got in his hands are now worth hundreds of millions of dollars......

And I have worked hard in Yahoo for so many years, and my annual salary and dividends are only a few million dollars a year!

To say something without modesty, Lu Qi doesn't think that he is inferior to Cai Congxin, and the status of the two in the industry, Lu Qi is far superior to Cai Congxin.

The two are also of the same age and have about the same number of years of work.

But now, Cai Congxin is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and controls a listed company with a market value of more than $30 billion.

As for himself, he is still earning that little salary and dividends every year, and the senior vice president is only a deputy position in the final analysis, and he has to report to the president for instructions on many things.

Why is this happening?

This could be a personal opportunity!

Cai Congxin met Mr. Fei, who appreciated him, and accepted Mr. Fei's kind invitation, so he achieved greater achievements than himself and gained more.

As for myself, I haven't encountered such a good opportunity yet.

But today the opportunity is in front of me, do you want to accept it......

In the end, Lu Qi didn't make any choice, he just said cautiously: "Thank you Mr. Cai for the invitation, can you give me a few days to think about it." And before I accept the invitation, I also want to go to the magic capital to meet with Mr. Fei and have a chat. ”

"Of course there is no problem! I will go to San Francisco to prepare for Facebook North America, and I hope that Mr. Lu can think about it as soon as possible, and time waits for no one." Cai Congxin said briskly.

..................

After Cai Congxin came to San Francisco, with the help of Brian, president of Facebook Games North America, he successfully registered the company and purchased office space.

Facebook now has a lot of money and plans to develop in the long run, so it certainly won't consider leasing space.

Purchased a larger office campus than Facebook Games North America!

And it's very close to Facebook Games, and the brother company is a neighbor in North America again.

When he was busy here, Cai Congxin received a call from Lu Qi.

On the phone, Lu Qi said that he wanted to go to the magic capital to meet Mr. Fei and asked him to help make an appointment.

Cai Congxin had a smile on his face, he really didn't go in vain, Lu Qi was still moved.

............

Lu Qi went to the Demon Capital in a low-key manner, and only stayed there for one day, but during that day, he and Yu Wenfei had a secret conversation for more than ten hours.

Even lunch and dinner were delivered to the office.

No one knew what they were talking about except Peel.

But when Yu Wenfei's office door opened and Yu Wenfei personally sent Lu Qi out, the two of them had bright smiles on their faces.

The next day, Lu Qi returned to the United States.

Then, on Yahoo's official website, an open letter was issued.

It was announced that Lu Qi, senior executive vice president, submitted his resignation for personal reasons. The company has accepted and thanked him for his outstanding contributions during his years at Yahoo, and wishes him all the best in his future life.........

On the surface, everything seems to be going well, but in fact, Lu Qi's departure was carried by a "non-compete agreement".

In order to prevent him from jumping ship to a rival company, it threatens the interests of Yahoo.

Then, the condition for letting him go is that Lu Qi will not be allowed to engage in any search engine-related work within two years!

Fortunately, Facebook is not a search engine......

On Facebook's official website, an announcement was also made as soon as possible to welcome Lu Qi's arrival.

And announced that Lu Qi will be the president of Facebook North America, responsible for all the business of the North American company!

............

After the news was announced, Facebook's stock price immediately soared, and it rose by more than 16% on the same day!

Facebook's market capitalization, which had risen to about $35 billion in recent days, rose by 16 percent after being stimulated by this good news.

Then its market value has climbed to $40.6 billion!

If you only look at the domestic Internet industry, this is a well-deserved giant, enough to buy all other domestic Internet companies.

Of course, people may not sell it......

After Facebook's market value reaches this height, Yu Wenfei can also start his equity mortgage plan.

In the past few days, the fourth uncle has been chattering several times, and the employees of China Eastern Airlines Pearl Company are all looking forward to it, waiting for the legendary Fei Zong to inject capital in......

............

"Mr. Fei, now that the stock price of Facebook is $270 per share, do you want to pledge 10 million shares?"

Because the amount of equity pledge was a bit large this time, the director of Citibank's credit department flew to the magic capital in person to discuss the business with Yuwenfei.

In fact, this is also a loan, with a repayment period and interest, and there is collateral, and the bank is certainly willing to do this business.

"Yes, Facebook's share price continues to climb and may be worth more in the future, so I hope you can give a good faith collateral ratio. Yu Wenfei said for a long time.

10 million shares at $270 per share, that's worth $2.7 billion!

Of course, it is impossible to get so many loans, and there will be discounts in between.

This is also for the sake of risk control, what to do if your company's stock price falls sharply, so you should take these risks into account in advance.

Under normal circumstances, the loan amount is given at about 5% of the market value of the mortgaged shares.

But Yu Wenfei said that he hoped they could be more sincere, which meant that the proportion should not be too low.
