Chapter 488 Response Plan
$30 million in non-compete compensation?
To be honest, Lei Yifan's time in professional headhunting is not short, and in the industry he has been in contact with, there have indeed been examples of sky-high compensation in the past, and this money is generally borne by the company that poached people.
But the problem is that the amount that Lu You said is not only completely beyond the scope of Lei Yifan's authority, but also this number is a little unreasonable.
The most important thing is that Lei Yifan can't figure out why Lu You would be willing to sign this kind of contract, and let himself carry such a big burden for no reason.
Lu You's current position is the head of the program department of the "Honor of Kings" project under Molong Games, and theoretically he has all the program-related resources of "Honor of Kings" in his hands.
Although those things belong to Molong Games, even if Lu You leaves his job, it is impossible for him to take them away, but at least the program architecture and basic structure of the game "Honor of Kings" are still in his mind, with these things, after he goes to other companies, it should not be too difficult to rebuild a framework similar to "Honor of Kings" in a short period of time......
The greatest value of Lu You is the program architecture and the experience accumulated in the process.
But no matter what, a position like Lu You can only be regarded as an upper-middle position in the game development industry at best...... Nothing more.
But now, Lu You actually said that he was carrying 30 million non-compete damages?!
Thirty million, that's not three thousand.
Even if they support a medium-sized game development team like the former Wolong Studio, this money is enough for them to use it for half a year.
And this is only Lu You's non-compete compensation......
How is this possible?!
Lei Yifan wanted to tell himself that the other party was definitely bluffing.
However, as soon as this idea appeared, Lei Yifan pressed it down with reason, because even if Lu You wanted to find an excuse to refuse, it was impossible for him to lie in such a place that could be easily found......
If there is a line that often appears in detective dramas to describe this matter, it is: "The one that is left after all possibilities, no matter how ridiculous and illogical it is, is the truth." ”
With deep doubts, Lei Yifan left gloomily.
He never figured out one thing, what was the boss of Molong Games thinking, and why did he ask a middle-level manager like Lu You to sign a contract with such a high amount of compensation, and Lu You was really honest and signed the contract as he wished......
If Lu You could hear Lei Yifan's heart, he would definitely be willing to explain it to him.
The reason for this is actually just one word: money!
Don't look at the small scale of Molong Games, but the salaries of personnel in various positions within the company are already at the top level in the industry. This is also the reason why Lu You hopes that Xue Fei can pass the internship test of Molong Games and become a regular employee......
Fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields.
Not only that, since "Honor of Kings" soared into the sky like the original time and space, Li Mo asked all employees of Molong Games to sign new contracts according to the importance of their positions, and this contract included the high part of the non-compete compensation that Lu You just said.
Of course, the amount of compensation is not one-size-fits-all, but is determined according to the importance of jobs and personnel in the "Glory of Kings" project, and when signing a new contract, everyone's salary level has also risen to varying degrees, and for those members who have made outstanding contributions in the research and development process of "Glory of Kings", Li Mo also gave option awards.
Lu You, Sui Xing, and even Liu Jie may not have experienced these battles before, but the number of options divided into options is understandable to everyone.
Paid
option
The benefits are also sufficient......
After a multi-pronged approach, basically all the core members honestly signed new contracts with the company.
Although in this process, it is inevitable that some people will refuse the contract and leave the company because they cannot accept the high amount of compensation, but the attitude of Molong Games with clear rewards and punishments has remained in everyone's minds.
After solving Lei Yifan's matter, Lu You and Xue Fei had something to eat outside, and then returned to the company to continue the morning's work, and after the department head meeting, Lu You stopped Wang Liwen before she left: "Mr. Wang, there is a situation, I think I should report to you......"
…………
"Xiaomo, this is the licensing agreement signed between our company and Modu Satellite TV on "Extreme Challenge", ......"
For the company's first variety show, Li Mo still maintains enough attention, and this authorization agreement requires his signature.
After some bargaining, "Extreme Challenge Season 1" was finally sold to Modu Satellite TV for 160 million + 5% advertising shares.
In terms of price alone, it can only be regarded as a medium level.
This is mainly because outdoor reality variety shows of the type "Extreme Challenge" have not yet appeared in China, and Modu Satellite TV still has certain concerns about its profit prospects, and although the negotiation team of Molong Media has enough confidence in its own company's programs, it has no practical and reliable basis to support its own views......
Li Mo had instructed the negotiation team to repeat the old tricks, trying to induce the other party to sign a licensing agreement according to the ratings like in "Love Apartment Season 1", but how did he know that the agreement signed by Jiangdong Satellite TV with him back then has now become a negative teaching material in the industry.
The deal is now the result of the negotiating team's best efforts.
"Brother Zong, do you have anything else?"
After signing his name on the authorization agreement, seeing that Zong Shuai had no intention of leaving, Li Mo asked strangely.
"Recently, there have been some abnormal personnel flows on the side of Molong Games and Lilith Technology, and I think it is necessary to remind you. ”
"Abnormal flow of people?" Li Mo frowned, "Let's hear what's going on?"
Zong Shuai took out a folder that had been prepared a long time ago and began to introduce: "In the past two weeks, a total of seventeen employees of Lilith Technology and Molong Games have submitted their resignations, and the departments involved include programming, planning and art, which are basically positions related to research and development. Eight of them are the ones we focus on......"
After a slight pause, Zong Shuai added, "It's the kind of employee who needs my level to sign when he leaves." ”
"Is there such a thing?"
For Lilith Technology and Molong Games, he adheres to the idea of professionals managing professional teams, except for collecting personnel and capital reports once a month, he basically rarely manages specific affairs.
From this point of view, it is not yet time to hand in the report, and it is normal for Li Mo not to know the specific movements below.
Regarding Li Mo's question, Zong Shuai seemed to have done some homework, and he went on to explain, "Because Lilith Technology and Molong Games are not in communication with each other, the management teams of these two companies did not know that the timing of such a large-scale departure was so close. In addition, after the Lunar New Year every year, it is a time of high turnover in the IT industry, so they didn't pay attention to it at all, and if I hadn't received similar resignation confirmation applications recently, it would have been difficult for me to find the problem. ”
"The circle of the game industry is actually not very big," touching his chin, Li Mo began to calculate, "These people are basically enough to form a small team......
"Do you know where these people are, and after these people leave, have they found their replacement?"
"The first question is not yet known where they will end up, as for the second question, don't worry, whether it is Lilith Technology or Molong Games, the revenue of the games produced is very good, so in terms of salary, we are still very attractive. ”
"Okay, as long as these people leave the job clearly, they can leave if they want to, anyway, three-legged toads are not easy to find, two-legged people are everywhere, let the people in the legal department stare at it, as long as they violate the non-compete agreement, they will directly send a lawyer's letter to their new company, and if they don't pay compensation, they will sue directly in court!"
"The tiger doesn't wield, when I'm Hello Kitty!"
