Chapter 34 It is better to be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox
Li Zetian smiled, the two were actually colleagues, what a coincidence!
"Wozniak, are you okay with joining our development project with Zhang Yan?" asked Li Zetian, turning his head to look at Wozniak. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"No problem, Kevin Chang's skills are very strong!"
Li Zetian nodded, Wozniak recognized Zhang Enthalpy's technology, which means that Zhang Enthalpy's technical level is indeed very powerful!
Immediately, Li Zetian asked Zhang Yan: "Zhang Yan, are you willing to join? I can give you a salary of 20 US dollars per hour!"
"Of course I do!"
"Okay, though, according to the process, you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement first!"
"No problem!"
Subsequently, Zhang Yan first signed a confidentiality agreement, and then signed a temporary employment labor contract with Li Zetian.
After collecting the confidentiality agreement and contract, Li Zetian said: "Now, let me introduce you to the project we are studying now and the development progress!"
Li Zetian immediately began to introduce Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan was also like Wozniak, deeply shocked!
"Now, we are less than one-tenth of the progress of development, and as far as I know, we still have a competitor! So, we have to speed up!!" Li Zetian said at the end, his tone very serious.
Of course, Li Zetian hopes that the two of them would better resign from Hewlett-Packard and become full-time employees at Apple. It's just that he mentioned it to Wozniak many times, but he still didn't want to move him.
"Look at Zhang Yan's level, if he is also a technical expert, persuade him to join Apple!" Li Zetian said secretly in his heart.
At this time, Li Zetian began to assign some very difficult tasks to Zhang Yan, intending to test his skills.
Apple only needs elite talents to join !!
"You guys are busy first, I'll call and order three takeouts!"
Li Zetian ate takeout every day during this time, and he almost vomited. However, there is no way, the garage is not suitable for a kitchen, Li Zetian can't help but often miss those days at Harvard University, with Yu Jingqiu accompanying him, and the food she cooked!
Li Zetian shook his head, he couldn't think about this, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't eat takeout.
What entrepreneur does not endure loneliness and loneliness, and only then can he become a superior person if he suffers hardships!!
The orphan life in his previous life honed Li Zetian's will, and after calling for takeout, he devoted himself to his work again.
……
Zhang Yan is a master's student in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University, and he met Tian Shuai at the Chinese Club of Stanford University and later became friends.
After a few days of testing, Zhang Yan's level is indeed very good!
There is a way to "specialize in the art industry", Wozniak is not an all-round engineer, Zhang Yan's technical level in power supply, image and other aspects is much stronger than him, and the two can complement each other together!
With the addition of Zhang Yan, the development speed of the entire project is 40% faster than before.
At this time, Li Zetian moved the idea of digging Zhang Yan to Apple.
"Zhang Yan, come out and talk!"
"Mr.li, what's the matter?"
"Have you ever thought about moving from Hewlett-Packard to Apple?" asked Li Zetian in a very formal and solemn tone.
Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Have you thought about ......?"
"If you can change jobs, I'll pay you $20 an hour. In addition, as long as you do a good job in the company, I can also promise to give you a 5% option!!"
A share option is a share that does not exist at present, but can only be obtained after meeting the conditions agreed by both parties within a certain period of time. If the conditions are not met, the shares cannot be obtained. It generally appears in the incentive mechanism of shareholders to management.
Li Zetian feels that the way to directly give shares is far less good than the option incentive mechanism, and some people have no heart to work after they get the shares, thinking, I have got the shares anyway, what does it matter if I don't work hard......
Apple's technology department needs a person to take the lead, Zhang Yan's potential is worth cultivating, and as a veteran of the company, 5% of the shares are actually low. However, Li Zetian knows how great Apple's future development potential is, so he can't give too many shares!
Li Zetian was worried that the other party felt that the options he gave him were too low, so in terms of salary, Li Zetian still offered Zhang Yan a high salary of $20 per hour, if he worked 8 hours a day, it would be $160 a day, and $58,400 a year, which was a sky-high salary in this era!!
Frankly speaking, Zhang Yan is really tempted at this moment!
He has a sky-high salary to get and a 5 percent option, even if Apple can't develop and the shares are worthless, at least he gets a sky-high salary, which is much more profitable than in Hewlett-Packard! In addition, he thinks that the Apple-l model personal computer that the three of them are now working on is simply fantastic, and if there is such a computer on the market, he will definitely buy one without hesitation! He is like this, and others should be the same. Therefore, he is very optimistic about Apple's future development!
"Mr. Li, I'm going to think about it!" Zhang Yan said after thinking about it.
"Of course no problem!"
Li Zetian smiled and nodded, but Zhang Yan's heart-warming expression had already made Li Zetian fully sure!
Early the next morning, when the sky was still bright, Zhang Yan called Li Zetian and said, "Mr.li, I have decided to !!."
Li Zetian's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked, "What do you decide?"
"I decided to move from Hewlett-Packard to Apple!"
"Very good, Zhang Yan, I can assure you that this is definitely the most correct choice you have made in your life!!"
"I think so, Mr.li. ”
After the call, Li Zetian laughed happily, and a general officially joined Apple.
……
In the morning, Zhang Yan submitted his resignation.
Wozniak, as his colleague, was soon heard.
He found Zhang and asked in surprise, "Kevin, are you crazy? Or are you confused by Chronos' words? You actually gave up your job as an engineer at HP!"
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "No, Steve, my mind is the clearest at the moment, and I have made this decision after careful consideration." Hewlett-Packard is too big, and the bureaucratic style within the enterprise is serious, and many real talents, such as you and me, cannot be reused. Anyway, I've had enough and decided to quit!Would you rather stay in obscurity at HP and develop some mediocre garbage, or would you rather create an epoch-making product at Apple?!"
After speaking, Zhang Yan turned around and walked out of Hewlett-Packard!
