Bluestar Technology is very popular in the IT industry, and countless IT job seekers want to work in the most ideal place of work.

Although the company's equity incentive is complex, and the dozens or hundreds of pages of contracts are painful to read, it also shows that the distribution of remuneration and benefits is handled clearly, and employees can be rewarded accordingly for how much value they have contributed.

However, the company's last elimination system is also very cruel, the real capable and the mediocre, but there is no two sides sorry for each other, how much performance they have done during their tenure in the company, they will get the same amount of returns.

In fact, Luo Sheng is a very humane boss, everyone now regards him as the first idol, and they all want to enter the two technology companies he founded are in all aspects, and high treatment is one thing.

On the other hand, for employees, it is "Cote d'Azur Insurance" and "Bluestar Technology Insurance", and when an employee joins either of these two companies, the company will tell the employee:

The employee will have life insurance of 10 times the salary; If the employee's wife dies in an accident, if there is no wife, the parents can take the employee's salary for another 5 years, and if there are children, the company will support the employee until the age of 18; If there is a serious illness or disability and is unable to work, the company will pay 75% of the salary for life, or die, and then pay for life insurance.

Such a welfare mechanism, so far there is and only Luo Sheng's company enjoys the nationwide, and looking at the world, only Google is doing this, and has also launched a similar "Google insurance", the general welfare system is the same, the slight difference is that Google's life insurance is 5 times the salary, and Luo Sheng's company is 10 times the salary.

For example, if an employee of Bluestar Technology is out of the game because of the last elimination mechanism, the employee will continue to be paid monthly according to the treatment standard during the employment period until he finds the next job, but there is also an upper limit, up to half a year.

It is very hard and stressful to follow Luo Sheng's struggle, but Luo Sheng must also ensure that their efforts can be satisfactorily rewarded, even if they are eliminated at the end because of their poor ability, they will help him as much as possible.

Instead of being like an Internet company, its employees did not take a day of sick leave for four or five years, and their performance during the period was also good, but they experienced persecution, calculation, surveillance, framing, threats, and even being kicked out of the company by security guards when they were terminally ill.

The employees also want to fight for their ideals, but the children, wife, and family can only rely on him, and he doesn't want to be squeezed to the last drop of blood and thrown away like a torn sock. They also want a guarantee that they may be fired or left for work reasons one day, but they don't want to worry about being abandoned if they have health problems while they are working hard.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for everyone to want to struggle with Luo Sheng even after they have broken their heads, and this comparison is superior to other companies.

……

in the conference room.

"The annual meeting is scheduled for the weekend of the 16th of this month, and Bluestar Technology and employees from the Cote d'Azur will participate together." Luo Sheng looked around at everyone and said, at this moment, half of the people had already left the scene to take charge of their respective work, and George and the others also left one after another.

As the boss and founder of the two companies, it is understandable to hold the annual meeting together, and the early employees of the Cote d'Azur company are all transferred to the past by Bluestar Technology.

At present, there are more than 5,000 employees on the Cote d'Azur, and more than 4,700 employees in Bluestar Technology, including overseas employees, add up to tens of thousands.

Luo Sheng added: "Since it is an annual meeting together, although the two companies are created by me, but the account expenditure must be calculated clearly, otherwise it is not good for investors to trouble me to speak loudly to them, and the confidence will be weaker by three points, then calculate it according to the proportion of the number of people, as for the budget of the annual meeting, 300 million." ”

Three hundred million?

Hearing this number, the participants were immediately stunned, and Xu Yong said with a stunned face: "Hold an annual meeting with a budget of 300 million? Oh my God, if an investor finds out, it's not going to trouble you, they're going to cut you with a kitchen knife. ”

Xu Yong's words made everyone present laugh, others may not say this, but he is the co-founder of Bluestar Technology and the company's No. 002 employee.

Luo Sheng leaned back to the chairman's seat, and said lightly: "There is not only work in life, what are we working hard and earning money for?" For the great mission of connecting all of humanity? Sort of, but you also have to experience life, right? You have to spend money if you earn it, don't you? ”

After finishing speaking, he spread his hands and looked around at everyone, and Feng Yi, who was present, couldn't help but weakly remind: "We don't seem to have made any money yet, and we have been spending VC's money......"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng glanced at him: "Didn't you already decide to make money just now?" ”

Everyone is slandered in their hearts, so sure that they make 100% money?

Luo Sheng added: "Don't use bird VC, they can't control it, I have the final say, and the company has decided to make a profit, I don't plan to let the company carry out Series D financing, there is no need to raise funds privately, so next year, we will go public in the United States." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, this news is too sudden, next year? That was 2006.

"Don't make a noise everywhere, whoever leaks the news, I'll slap him in the mouth." Luo Sheng said, and everyone nodded again and again, but even if it was revealed, it was not a big deal.

Luo Sheng chose to go public in 2006, Luo Sheng has his own plan, he has not forgotten the big event that will happen in 2007, the global financial turmoil caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States.

In fact, Luo Sheng has been paying attention to relevant news from time to time during this time, and now as long as you look at the top ten listed companies in the world by market capitalization, you will find that the status of financial companies is climbing wildly, and Citigroup, AIG, Bank of America, etc. have squeezed into the top ten, which has faintly laid the groundwork for the future financial crisis.

After going public in the United States, the startup team can have a chance to cash out on the day of the IPO, aiming to reward the startup team for their contribution to the company.

Luo Sheng felt that if he didn't go to North America to play a wave of real estate market gambling or something in the global financial crisis in 2007, if he turned a blind eye to such a huge opportunity, most of the gods would not spare him, and maybe a thunderbolt would drop him back into the future.

However, these are still too early, Luo Sheng put away his thoughts, and immediately made a decision in the conference room, the total budget of the annual meeting is 300 million, Bluestar Technology is 145 million in proportion, and the Cote d'Azur is 155 million.

Now the two companies are not short of money, Bluestar Technology got ¥10.5 billion in Series C financing last year, and Cote d'Azur Company also happened to have Qin Weimu help get a loan of 10.5 billion.

To be rich is to be capricious.

Luo Sheng set the matter, he only needed to explain it, and someone would deal with the following matters, and immediately began to seek third-party planning.

There is no large-scale gathering place in Sioux City now, but if you want to do it, you must be able to build the venue, but the time can't catch up, there is only half a month of preparation, how can you have time to build such a large venue?

Therefore, the venue of the annual meeting was not in Sioux City, but the "80,000 Stadium" in Shencheng was selected, and this stadium was rented for the venue of the annual meeting.

Shencheng Stadium is also known as the "80,000 Stadium", but the number of seats has 56,000, even so for the Blue Star Technology and the Cote d'Azur joint annual meeting is too large, the combined employees of the two companies are less than 10,000 people, and it is impossible to all be there, there is always a need for someone to stay in the operation and maintenance.

There is a reason for choosing such a large venue, because it is necessary to set up tables in the venue, eat, drink and have a carnival, and with a budget of 300 million, it is obviously a high-end route.

The company's annual meeting plan was officially announced on January 12, and the company was in a sensation, and even this wind blew directly into the entertainment industry, and there were reports in Europe and the United States.

Bluestar Technology is once again in the headlines.

During the annual meeting, the company invited a top international symphony orchestra, not only that, but also invited popular singers at home and abroad to cheer up the annual meeting, and three domestic singers, Pan Weibo and two other female singers.

I have to say that in the past year, that is, in 2004, the Chinese music scene can be described as a year of fairy fights, with all kinds of popular singles emerging in endlessly, such as Pan Weibo's "Happy Worship", and another popular Internet divine comedy "Mice Love Rice", as for popular songs such as "Qili Xiang" and "Persian Cat", there are too many to mention.

And the appearance fees of these three domestic singers are not the most expensive, nor are they the biggest names.

This company's annual meeting invited Avril Lavigne, a rock diva who is now popular in the world, to come, and it can be said that she is one of the most popular female singers in the world so far.

The reason why Avril Lavril was invited is because she is the most well-known European and American female singer in China so far, and there is no one in this era, and there is no such thing as "mildew" in this era.

Avril was also popular in China in 2004, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the European and American music enlightenment of many music fans in China, with her early debut, in 2000, at the age of 16, she quickly became popular all over the world with a song "Complicated".

Her posters are plastered on the walls of countless young people, and her music is resounding on television, games, and young people's players on the streets.

There are mostly young people in the company, and the post-80s generation occupies the absolute main force, and most of the programmers are super fans of this little rock witch who takes the rebellious rock route and is too cool to do.

Nowadays, the world is rising Avril fever, only 21 years old this year, among the current European and American female singers, she is one of the absolute gods, with the most beautiful side face, and girls all over the world are imitating her highlights and her smoky makeup......

It's cool to the bone.

Whether in business or music, Avril Avril is arguably one of the most iconic pop superstars of the first decade of the new millennium.

In order to invite her to sing for the company's annual meeting, it was a hemorrhage.

When someone from Bluestar Technology went to the door, Avril's agency learned that the lion opened his mouth and asked for $7 million, equivalent to ¥57 million.

With such a sky-high appearance fee, Luo Sheng must not be able to bear it, this is already comparable to the appearance fee of Taylor Swift on the 2019 Double 11 carnival night, and the current $7 million is much more valuable than the $7 million in fifteen years later.

In the end, under Luo Sheng's remote command, the team sent to negotiate bargained with the other party for three days, and finally talked about the price to ¥33 million, that is, about $4 million, and Avril had to sing eight songs, with an average value of $500,000.

However, it is still a sky-high appearance fee.

And this also made Luo Sheng dispel the idea of inviting another European and American superstar, and he also wanted to invite another popular female singer, Britney Spears.

If Avril Lavril is cool to the bone, then Britney Spears is definitely sexual, Luo Sheng wanted to invite two popular European and American pop superstars, but it was too "Kai" to do so, and finally gave up one and chose Avril.

Without him, I can't afford it, unless I am willing to be a "Kaizi", because Britney's agency is even more excessive, asking for $10 million, and finally less than $8.5 million to avoid talking.

Luo Sheng, who opened at this price, wanted to scold his mother, Britney is indeed very popular around the world, but she is far less popular than Avril Lavigne in China, and she is still asking for a sky-high price, so she can only avoid talking about it.

So it was settled.

After the news of this annual meeting was exposed, the entertainment industry made a big report, and domestic melon-eating netizens and fans couldn't sit still.
