The tea is far away, the fire is blazing, and a few old friends and partners are chatting around the warm fireplace. After four years of hard work, it's finally harvest season, and it's time to hand out candy.

Three years ago, Lifang acquired Tengxin with a 10% stake, Ma Huateng got a 4.7% stake, Li Jiaming appointed him as CEO, and the two sides signed a 20% futures contract. Now that the company has started the listing process, how to divide the 20% is not Ma Huateng's right, he only has the right to suggest, and the decision is in the hands of Li Jiaming, because he is the chairman of the company.

There is no doubt that people who limit their shares to less than 50% at the time of starting a business must also be broad-minded. Ma Huateng's plan is to make up 5% of his shares, and distribute the rest to the employees according to the size of the contribution, which is almost a copy of the stock plan.

Wang Zhidong, who is not so scheming, is full of praise for Ma Huateng, while Li Jiaming is holding a small teacup and is silent.

This is to retreat into advance, playing with oneself.

Even though the stock market is in a downturn now, the profit side, which has achieved break-even, is valued at $4 billion by Goldman Sachs, and a 1% stake means nearly 300 million RMB. Considering Huaguo's huge population base and the value-added profit model of Lifang, the valuation of the stock will rise before it goes public. In the face of such huge interests, no one will give up easily, this is basic human nature.

However, people can take the initiative to throw out this plan, which also proves from one side that he is rational, deep, and skillful, and can be called a commander's talent.

If it were Li Jiaming ten years ago, he would definitely agree without hesitation, and then say something beautiful, let the other party suffer this dumb loss, and use the benefits that should have been given to him to buy people's hearts. But now Li Jiaming won't do this, the person who is the leader must have the bearing of a leader, otherwise how can he convince people? 'Favor to the top, grievance to the bottom', that is all Chen Sesame rotten grain, not what a leader should do!

Therefore, Li Jiaming waited for him to finish his explanation, and categorically vetoed: "No, tear it down and start over!" You and your team take too little, and the employees take too much. ”

Ma Huateng, who was drinking tea to moisten his throat, was overjoyed, but hurriedly said: "Dong Li, this is a precedent, not to mention that we are only joining halfway." ”

It is reasonable and advantageous not to mention the purchase price of Tengxin at the beginning, but only to mention the precedent. has the ability, Li Jiaming likes to work with such people, has the means and scheming and puts himself in the right position. Such a person should not be regarded as a subordinate, but should be positioned as a partner, a partner in a team!

Li Jiaming, who was sipping tea, looked appreciatively at the partner who was forced to get on the ship by himself, and insisted: "No, the situation is special, we couldn't give employees high salaries at that time, so we took futures stocks to unite people's hearts." From the moment I bought it, we paid our employees extremely well.

Reward and punishment, Lifang is under your leadership, to achieve today's results, so you take 10% of the futures stock first, and the rest will be distributed according to the size of the contribution!"

This?

The legs covered by the coffee table were trembling, but Ma Huateng still didn't show joy, but continued to excuse himself, which was even more appreciated by Li Jiaming. With Li Jiaming's guess, his reward should be twice as high as Ma Huateng's psychological bottom line, and he is very likely to be a precedent he wants to refer to, taking 5% of the CEO's futures stocks, but he never thought that he could get more.

Li Jiaming did not guess wrong, no one can be calm in the face of such great interests. Ma Huateng proposed this plan because he knew that Li Jiaming was very fair and would not treat him badly, but he never thought that Li Jiaming would give him 10% directly!

"Old horse, don't shirk, it's decided. Senior, do you have any opinions?"

Make a decision first, and then ask for opinions, and others will be unhappy, but Wang Zhidong will not. When he decided to work with Li Jiaming, he positioned himself as the number two person, and later Kle joined the team, and he was willing to be the number three person. Later, Ma Huateng sprung up again, Li Jiaming did not point out the profit model, and he still managed Lifang well, and he was willing to be the fourth person again.

For people like Wang Zhidong, it was his dream to engage in technical work, and when he left New Century to start a business, it was only out of internal contradictions. After cooperating with Li Jiaming, his career is thriving, the company is thriving, and the distribution of benefits is fair, which is the team of his dreams.

"I agree, the company can have today, Hua Teng is indispensable!

Aten, don't shirk. Jiaming is right, since he took over, the salary level is one of the best in the industry, and it is impossible for futures stocks to be evenly involved with the same interests, and it is necessary to focus on meritorious personnel. ”

"This, me".

Li Jiaming glanced at the silent Kle, saw him applauding, and ordered: "That's it, Xiao Zhi, make a record." When I return home, I will hold a board meeting to discuss it. ”

"Yes", Ruan Zhi, who was sitting behind the three sofas, agreed, and recorded it.

"Thank you Li Dong, thank you Wang Dong".

Although he was ecstatic, Ma Huateng still got up and shook hands with everyone to thank him, this time Wang Zhidong noticed that people's palms were sweating, and he couldn't help but sigh the gap between himself and the other party. For himself, in the face of such a big interest, it is difficult to be so rational, no wonder Jia Ming will let him stand alone.

The discussion came to an end, and Li Jiaming toasted a circle of tea and revisited his original promise. People don't believe in it, even if they say something that stinks worse than, as long as the other party asks for it, Li Jiaming will swallow it hard.

"Lao Ma, when the stock price stabilizes after the company goes public, I will resign as chairman. Also, I made a promise that I would deliver on my promise and transfer the shares to your team at 80% of the market price, so that the company would be truly handed over to you."

This was expected by Ma Huateng, and he also believed that with Li Jiaming's prestige and status today, he would not break his promise, but he resolutely refused and said very sincerely: "Li Dong, please take back your life, I believe that the future of Li Fang will be better, but I don't want to increase my holdings of the company's shares."

Listen to my explanation, I think what you said at the beginning makes sense, 'no matter how strong an individual is, he is a sheep, and a strong team is a wolf'. We at Datang Technology are a team, and the most important thing for the team is a fair upward channel and fair distribution of benefits.

When you bought Tengxin with a 10% stake in Lifang, you have taken into account the value of our team, and it is beyond our actual value. Now that you're asking me to take 10% of the shares, I think it's more than my contribution to the team, and if I get the shares from you at the market price, it's not good for the fairness of the whole team. ”

Capable people are like carp crossing the river, but there are very few people who know how to advance and retreat.

Li Jiaming couldn't help but secretly applaud, if Ma Huateng pushed the boat smoothly, he would definitely fulfill his promise, but the timing of the transfer of shares had to be considered, and the proportion of the transfer would also be considered; and he would also find a spare tire internally to ensure that the control and decision-making power of the Libian side were checked and balanced.

"Old Ma, you are too worried, and you also have to consider the interests of your team members. ”

Comparing his heart to himself, Ma Huateng put himself in Li Jiaming's position, thinking that it was impossible for him to give up control of the company he founded to a subordinate at the right age, even if this subordinate was indeed very capable. And he also believes that Li Jiaming, who thought of the profit model four years ago, would definitely be much better than managing the company himself.

"No, no, Chairman Li, this is a matter of principle. ”

"But you've caught me in breaking my word."

"No, you are the soul of the company, and it is our responsibility to correct the occasional mistakes in your decision. ”

One of the two wants to fulfill his promise, the other insists on resigning, others are not easy to interject, and the atmosphere in the study is weird.
