Chapter 502: Prosecution (Asking for Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
A new day has arrived.
There are still five days left before Ji Cheng prepares to detonate the leveraged buyout and junk bond markets of Pretty Country.
He will be very busy in the past two days, first of all, to short the funds at the high point of major aviation stocks and financial stocks, and secondly, to stabilize the interior.
As the saying goes, if you go outside, you must first settle inside.
The wave of resignations of Huajin Bank a while ago sounded the alarm for Ji Cheng, if this trend is left unchecked, it will be difficult to return to the company's operation, let alone fight outside.
However, he was too late to wake up.
Because the first two days were rest days, I only officially went to work today.
Ji Cheng came to the company early, originally wanting to have a passionate morning meeting speech to drive enthusiasm, but he and Steve. White waited until half past nine in the morning, and only about thirty of the company's 100 or so employees came.
Sixty or seventy people didn't come, including two department heads.
Ji Cheng stood in the company's office area with a very gloomy face, looked to the side and said, "Steve, did you call them?" ”
Steve. White looked equally ugly, "I just called several people, but they didn't answer the phone. ”
Sofia. Green frowned and said, "They're not leaving, are they?" ”
"Probably not, they didn't even give advance notice." Steve. White was a little incredulous.
Resignation or dismissal does not stipulate how long to notify the company before resignation, unless the contract clearly stipulates that employees of some companies often find that many colleagues around them resign and leave their posts within one to two weeks after the formal resignation, if it is a department that masters the company's core secrets, or works for competitors, resign in the morning and go out in the afternoon.
In other words, although the beautiful country is free to leave the company, it is generally notified in advance, and this is still the case that is not specifically specified in the contract.
After all, Huajin Capital was only a small company at the beginning, so while offering a high salary, he also wrote the resignation requirements and non-compete agreement in the work contract for each Huajin Capital employee.
It's just that on the side of Huajin Capital Corporation, many grassroots employees of its subsidiaries have not signed such an agreement, but have signed it with the core and above the middle level.
In other words, if an employee resigns from Huajin Capital, he needs to report to the company in advance, and then perform the non-compete agreement, instead of saying nothing and not reporting to the company.
Although Ji Cheng didn't believe that the group of employees dared to take such a big risk to break the contract and say goodbye, if the sixty or seventy people didn't come all of a sudden, it was impossible for any accident to happen collectively, right?
"Mr. Cheng, I know why they didn't come today."
A young white man in his early twenties and glasses in the crowd raised his hand.
Steve. White leaned into Ji Cheng's ear and whispered, "His name is Philip. Falcohen, don't look at his youth, in fact, he worked as a trader for three years at the Kidd Fund and earned half a million dollars, and he also has a bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard. Green poached the company with a high salary. ”
Philip. Falcohen?
Why is this person's name familiar?
If Ji Cheng usually remembered where he had heard this name, but so many employees of the company did not come to work today, he was in an extremely bad mood, and he didn't have time to think about that, so he asked directly: "Philip, why didn't those people come?" ”
Philip. Falcoen looked at his colleagues next to him and hesitated, as if what he was going to say next was not good for himself, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "If I'm not mistaken, they should all have jumped to Chase." ”
When he finished saying this, several colleagues next to him showed strange eyes, as if they didn't like this kind of colleague who liked to make small reports to the boss.
In fact, this kind of thing is very common in beautiful countries, or in other words, the average employee of any company in the world does not like colleagues who make small reports to their bosses.
Steve. White was stunned: "Jumping to Chase? ”
Sofia. Green was also stunned for a moment, "Chase Bank poached sixty or seventy of us at once?" I'm afraid this will have to pay a lot of price. ”
Stepping on the horse again has something to do with Chase Bank?
The Rockefellers are endless, right?
Ji Cheng was very angry in his heart, but he didn't show any expression on his face, but asked vigorously, "What's going on?" Let's talk about it carefully. ”
Philip. Falcoen organized a sentence and said: "About Friday, when I got home from work that day, I received a call from a senior executive of Chase Bank, he said that as long as I was willing to jump to Chase Bank, I would give at least 100,000 US dollars of annual salary, I didn't think much about it at that time, and directly refused, because I personally felt that 100,000 yuan annual salary is not much, after all, it is easy to earn 100,000 yuan a year with my personal ability, and the reason why I came to work at Huajin Capital is entirely because I admire Mr. Cheng's ability in finance. So the annual salary of 100,000 US dollars is basically not tempting for me, well, this is a digression, to get down to business, I came to the company today and saw so many colleagues who did not come, I guess they should have been poached by Chase Bank with a high salary. ”
You have to know that in modern society, people like Philip. The average annual salary of a trader like Falcoen is less than $210,000, and now Chase Bank has offered a super high salary of 100,000 yuan a year, which will tempt anyone.
What is the concept of an annual salary of $100,000 in a beautiful country today?
For example, in the current era, the median annual income of a family in a beautiful country is 50,000 US dollars, and the median annual income of an individual is more than 14,800 US dollars.
And now Chase Bank offers an annual salary of $100,000, which is definitely the highest salary among the high salaries!
It's no wonder that so many people take the risk of being sued and resign.
Ji Cheng took a deep breath, "Okay, thank you Philip, the others start working first, Philip, you come to the office." ”
"Yes, sir." Philip. Falcoen responded.
Ji Cheng didn't say anything more, and he didn't even mention the mobilization speech he had prepared in the morning.
Go back to your office.
Ji Cheng walked straight to the boss's chair and sat down. Falcoen came to the door very obediently, and he casually pointed to the sofa, "Sit, let's talk." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng."
Philip. Falcoen said and sat down.
Ji Cheng glanced out, "Now it's just the two of us in the office, can you tell me what the senior executive of Chase Bank said to you?" ”
He knew that there were a lot of people outside just now and some things were not easy to say, so Philip. Falcoen certainly has reservations.
Sure enough, Philip. Falcoen pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, the conditions offered by Chase Bank are not only as simple as a high salary of 100,000 US dollars a year, they also give a very generous signing fee, and they also promise a salary increase in the next few years. ”
Ji Cheng asked: "How much is the signing fee and salary increase ratio?" ”
"A signing fee of 50,000 US dollars, a salary increase of not less than 15 percent per year, for a period of five years, and a bonus of 10 to 30 percent of the annual salary at the end of each year according to personal performance, Chase Bank also guaranteed that it will never fire me in the next five years, and then decide to stay after five years based on my work performance." Philip. Falcoen said.
Many new employees in beautiful countries have a valuable signing fee, also known as moving fees, which is generally 20,000 to 40,000 US dollars in modern society, and it is certainly not so high in the current era, generally only 50,000 to 10,000 US dollars, and now Chase Bank has made a generous signing fee of 50,000 US dollars in order to paralyze the operation of Huajin Capital.
These are not the main things.
The most important thing is that Chase Bank promised that it would not fire these people in the next five years, and that there would be a salary increase of no less than 15 percent every year, plus a bonus of 10 to 30 percent of the annual salary at the end of each year.
How many millionaires are there in Pretty Country today? According to statistics, it is about 1.3 million, and the population of the beautiful country in the current era is 247 million, that is to say, becoming a millionaire is the richest handful of upper-class people in the beautiful country.
Ji Cheng finally understood why the group of people would leave without saying goodbye, and after thinking for a while, he asked again: "Then did Chase Bank promise you to help pay liquidated damages if you breached the contract?" ”
Philip. Falcohen said: "I made a verbal promise, I don't know if it will be written into the contract." ”
Is it just a verbal promise that does not indicate that it will be written into the contract?
Ji Cheng probably understands what Chase Bank has in mind, if nothing else, if he sues here, I am afraid that Chase Bank will not compensate that group of people for liquidated damages at all, and it may even be tempted to see that group of poached employees are forced to return to work at Huajin Capital because of high liquidated damages, or they cannot afford to pay liquidated damages and can only abide by the non-compete agreement and voluntarily resign from Chase Bank.
He understood the other party's intentions, it was nothing more than wanting to paralyze his business in a short period of time, and as for the life and death of that group of employees, Chase Bank didn't want to care at all.
Without a lawsuit, Chase Bank can say that Huajin Capital is in a desperate situation, and it does not even have the time and energy to deal with defaulting employees.
Sue on your side, not only have to take a high amount of legal fees, but also spend a lot of time and manpower, and finally let Chase Bank get what you want without spending much to let the group of people who were poached leave the company, you have resigned voluntarily, why should I pay you the generous terms you promised.
This trick is insidious.
Joaquin Capital is very passive.
Ji Cheng thought carefully for a while, and then took a deep breath, "Carl, the director of the trading department, didn't come to work today, right?" ”
"Nope." Philip. Falcoen shook his head and said, "Since Chase Bank wants to poach even me, a trader, there's no reason not to poach the supervisor." ”
Ji Cheng thought about it for a while, "Well, in this way, you will temporarily take the position of supervisor, if you do well, I will turn you into a regular when you go back, do you have the confidence to challenge this burden?" ”
In some companies, employees in the beautiful country will refuse to be promoted by their superiors, and the main reason is that they will take on more work pressure after being promoted, and their salaries may not be increased much.
However, Philip. Falcohen didn't hesitate at all, "Thank you, sir, for your appreciation of me, I will definitely not let you down." ”
"Well, you go out and get busy first, I'll talk to Steve later."
Ji Cheng waved his hand and motioned for the other party to go out to work.
Philip. Falcohen was very well-behaved, and quickly got up and said, "Goodbye, sir." ”
With that, he got up and left.
Ji Cheng, who was sitting in the office, frowned and pondered for a long time.
Now that the company is short of manpower, I am afraid that some businesses will be affected, and I am currently focusing on the stock market, so I can't free up my hands to recruit employees.
But it is not possible to recruit employees, after all, Huajin Capital is now a group enterprise, and it has developed a lot of customers, and no one will deal with these things, and maybe the people who poached it by Chase Bank will pry customers away.
How can you keep customers from losing money while you're short of staff?
Ji Cheng wanted to sue those employees who violated the agreement, but doing so was as Chase Bank wished, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Huh!
Wait!
Why don't I sue?
Ji Cheng suddenly thought of one thing, according to the contract, if he sued those people, it would be basically no problem to win the lawsuit, and then he would behave "magnanimously" and allow those employees who breached the contract and jumped ship to pay liquidated damages in installments for five years.
In-house counsel certainly can't.
You need to hire a team of professional lawyers.
Spend some money, just spend some money, the most important thing at the moment is to deter those employees who are tempted, so that they dare not leave easily, at least when they are done dealing with the next beautiful national stock market turmoil.
And...... If you can instigate one or two employees who have violated the non-compete agreement to testify in court, you may be able to sue Chase Bank together.
In that case, after the stock market turmoil and the stock market crash broke out, Chase Bank would not only fall into financial problems, but also get into legal disputes, which would be very anxious!
Ji Cheng, who originally thought that the departure of a large number of employees would have an extremely bad impact on the company, sat there and laughed.
He immediately called the head of legal affairs, White, to come in.
White came over quickly, "Mr. Cheng, is there something wrong?" ”
Ji Cheng looked at him and asked, "Today, many employees of the company left without notifying the company, what do you think are the chances of winning the lawsuit?" ”
"If it turns out that they left and went to work for other companies, especially financial companies, then we will win 100 percent of the case." White cut the railroad.
I still have to investigate and collect evidence.
Ji Cheng knew that these things could be left to the professional lawyer team to do, and he didn't have to work on his own side, "Okay, then you contact a professional law firm for me now, and I will sue those employees who breach the contract and leave without saying goodbye, well, there are ...... Chase! ”
