A non-compete agreement, also known as a non-compete agreement.

Many people may be very unfamiliar with this agreement and don't know what it does.

But in fact, many companies will have a non-compete agreement when signing an employment contract.

This means that if the signatory leaves the company he or she previously worked for, he or she is not allowed to engage in activities in the relevant industry for one or three years.

However, such agreements generally do not bind ordinary people, and likewise, such agreements generally do not bind ordinary employees. However, for some senior executives of the company, for some employees who have mastered the company's core technology, when they resign and leave the company, the non-compete agreement will come to him.

Kai-Fu Lee has been at Microsoft for many years, and he is in charge of Microsoft's most popular technology office in the world, and his departure will inevitably involve the original Microsoft technology and company secrets. At this time, Kai-Fu Lee jumped to Google, and once again targeted China, which would definitely damage Microsoft's interests.

Of course, such media hype was naturally ordered by Zhang Ning.

He wants to use such hype to strangle Lee Kai-fu in the cradle.

Similarly, such news hype also made Lee Kai-fu very nervous.

When he left Microsoft, he was worried that Microsoft would come up with a non-compete agreement. Therefore, although Kai-Fu Lee joined Google before, he has not shown up too much and has been operating in the background. For example, secretly pulling Baidu into the cage. However, this time, Kai-Fu Lee, as the CEO of Google China, can be regarded as truly exposed to the sun.

"Paige, I'm in trouble."

Lee Kai-fu made a phone call to Google's headquarters.

"Maybe, I can't be the CEO of Google China anymore, of course, I won't leave Google, maybe I can work in the human resources part of the company."

"Oh, no, Manager Li, Google China needs you now, you can't just let it go."

"But, Mr. Page, I signed a non-compete agreement when I was at Microsoft, and I was worried that Microsoft would come forward."

"I know that. However, you can't step down as CEO of Google China in any way. In this case, I will give you a month off first, and we will negotiate with Microsoft. And, you don't have to worry either. Even if you break the contract, there is still a company. ”

"It's just that, Mr. Page, I'm afraid that if I take a month's vacation, there will be problems with the business in China."

"It's okay, I've looked at your recent business strategies in China, and you've done a great job. After only a few operations, we have completed the initial layout of Google China. A month is a very short time, and when we negotiate with Microsoft, you'll be back in office. Moreover, you don't have to think so badly about that Zhang Ning, what can they do in a month? ”

"Okay, then."

Although Li Kaifu is still worried, but now that the non-compete agreement is in place, he does not dare to show his head again.

Just like Ma Huateng before, didn't he resign and leave Microsoft?

It's a pity that a non-compete agreement, and now Ma Huateng is bored in Shencheng to see the sea.

……

Xiao Ning, what is your trick called?

Watching Google China announce that Lee Kai-fu was temporarily on vacation for a month, Chen Qingqing was very excited.

"It's called turning the tiger out of the mountain."

Seeing Li Kaifu leave, Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know if it's enough.

Although Zhang Ning knew that his strategy was successful, he was not completely relieved.

Google and Microsoft haven't become mortal enemies yet, and if Google does its best to protect Lee, he'll be fine either.

Fortunately, although a month is not a long time, it also gives myself time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Moreover, without Kai-Fu Lee's presence in Google China, Zhang Ning can also show his skills in other aspects.

At the very least, the first step to dismantle Google's layout in China must be dismantled.

The first is the Internet café's personal homepage action.

The computer in an Internet café is not the same as a personal computer, and there may be many people who do not modify the homepage of the personal computer. However, because the Internet café has a network administrator, they will set up the computer in the Internet café. Therefore, Zhang Ning had a personal homepage that had been modified after the installation of Tomato Home. However, under the settings of the Internet café administrator, these homepages have also been completely revised.

At this time, Li Kaifu spent a lot of money just to set the homepage to Google on the computer of the Internet café, and successfully attacked Zhang Ning in one fell swoop.

This made Zhang Ning secretly hate himself for being careless.

But there is no way, fortunately, Zhang Ning had a very good relationship with major Internet cafes across the country.

After Google China spent money to win 1/3 of the domestic Internet café computer homepage, Zhang Ning also took the other 1/3.

As for the remaining 1/3, some are township Internet cafes, and they don't have so much energy to take care of them.

In the second step, the Sky Software Station and Internet Express, in which Google has a stake, Zhang Ning will also destroy their advantages.

Zhang Ning's method was even simpler, and he also went to the two companies of Sky Software Station and Internet Express.

It's just a pity that when Zhang Ning's side also said that he would take a stake in them, both of them refused.

It's not that they don't like Zhang Ning, but they all said that they have already accepted Google's investment and don't want to take out more shares to accept Penguin's shares. This made Zhang Ning very helpless, others don't want you to join the shares, no matter how much money you take, it's useless.

Fortunately, after going to the two companies, it is not without any benefits.

I learned about it from Hua Jun, the head of the Sky Software Station, and Huang Mingming, the CEO of the Internet Express.

Although sites like Sky Software Station, and download software like Internet Express, it is unlikely that it will develop much in the future, it is only a niche product. However, products like this one are indispensable tools for enriching the Internet. In particular, these two products are also one of the important tools for netizens.

Google knows that these two products are not profitable. However, they still took a stake. It is nothing more than the IP traffic of the two major products, as long as this traffic is captured, and finally imported to their Google. In fact, it also indirectly strengthens Google's influence.

There are many such examples, the Sogou input method launched by Sohu in later generations, and the 360 browser launched by 360 are all such moves. And with the joining of these sub-products, it has also created an invincible version of their fist products.

In his heart, Zhang Ning also has some excitement for these small Internet products.

For this reason, after the two companies rejected him, Zhang Ning found another small software company.

The name of this company is Three Generations Information Network, and the CEO is Zou Shenglong.

Maybe many people don't know that this unknown three-generation network is the thunderbolt of later generations.

As for why Thunderbolt was called three generations before, in fact, this name has a very big meaning.

Last year, that is, in 2000, when the third generation of information was founded, Fu Shenglong lamented that China's Internet has lasted about three years so far.

He regards the technology tycoons led by Lenovo Liu Chuanzhi as the first generation of leaders of the Internet.

Qiu Bojun of Jinshan, he is an example of the second-generation leader of China's Internet.

As for the third generation...... The meaning is obvious, it's him.

Therefore, the name of the company is also called the three generations of information network technology Co., Ltd., the three generations, can be described as of great significance.
