Wall Street Legend

Chapter 169 Resignation(13)

Some time ago, Ye Dongqing took the initiative to dismiss a deputy financial officer named Will. He was forcibly dismissed shortly after joining Danshui Investment Group.

This guy is a smart and arrogant guy. During his time at the company, he had already learned about the start-up process of Tamsui Fund. He felt that since Ye Dongqing, a damn Chinese high school student, could succeed, he could do the same with his work experience on Wall Street. Yes, and it can be done better.

In fact, he did so, and tried to bring Ms. Vigo, Ye Dongqing's assistant, into his team to help him start his public fund entrepreneurial journey. Who knows the whole process of the rise of Freshwater Fund best, Vigo Lady is definitely one of them.

The two contacted privately several times. It was obvious that Ms. Vigo was very interested in the idea of ​​starting a business, otherwise she would not have met Will again and again, making her husband think that his wife was cheating on him. , in fact, he just wanted to leave Tamsui Investment Group and start his own business.

Innocence and idealism are no longer suitable for women of Vigo's age. Her thoughts are more realistic and she feels that she can make more money with her own abilities.

Recently, many new employees with outstanding qualifications have joined, which makes her clearly feel the pressure. She is already in her forties and does not want to work for others all her life. This makes Vigo start to consider more, such as resigning from Tamsui Investment Group. Start a business and use the achievements you have in front of you to get more things.

In addition to Will, there are two other guys who are also very interested. They hit it off immediately and have recently started making preparations to establish a company.

It was impossible to take care of both sides, so at the end of May, she handed her resignation letter to Ye Dongqing...

It was really just a trip. Last month, Ye Dongqing took Miss Maxi to New York for a few days, and then sent her on a plane. They occasionally chatted for a long time on the phone, but there was not much substantial progress in the relationship, strictly speaking. Said they were still friends.

Chinese girls are always more conservative in this regard. Of course, Ye Dongqing will not take the initiative to mention it. He will just go back and forth between Laura and her and let time determine who is the right person.

I am preparing to go to Silicon Valley again to examine the progress in recent times. Facebook is very good, and Skype is also very good. The latter has encountered some troubles recently, but it is not a big trouble. Several communication operators have made some minor complaints. Because the scale is not large yet, it is okay for the time being.

On the afternoon flight, receiving a resignation letter at this time is not good news for Ye Dongqing. It's not that the company can't run without Ms. Vigo. In fact, she has been a bit tempered recently, mostly because of menopause. The people under her command complained to Ye Dongqing about her management style, which in his own opinion was slightly conservative and not in line with long-term interests.

For example, in terms of stock warrants, Apple had just fallen a little, and Ms. Vigo came to Ye Dongqing many times to talk about shrinking the business. Her good intentions were certainly true, but Ye Dongqing knew that she had done nothing wrong, and she would always feel a little annoyed after hearing too much. We can't talk about certain concepts together. I wanted to start a younger company with more vitality, but under her high pressure it became very rigid.

It might be a good thing for someone else to take over, but the plan to go to Silicon Valley has been made, and I can't personally sit in the company to help the new director complete the handover task, so after reading the letter, he said: "If you think this is the right choice, then I will just Congratulations, of course, it must be a very bad thing for the company. I need your help with some management work. I definitely want to leave, right? Have you made plans?"

"Yes, I want to start my own business. This has always been my dream." Vigo had been thinking about it for a long time and his tone was firm.

"...It seems that there is no need to mention the talk about raising salary and changing jobs. I can't give you what you want, but how about asking you to work for one more week and wait until the end of the month before resigning. You can just get the salary and settle the accounts." I’ll give you a half-year bonus.”

Ye Dongqing sat at his desk and asked her, "There is no such thing as sadness, and it is impossible to give options, dividend rights, etc., so it is better to be simple and direct, so that we can get together and relax easily."

Some companies will give shares, but he prefers to give cash, at least before going public. Other employees can help make suggestions, save the company, etc., while he provides entrepreneurial ideas and funds himself, so he only needs to tell his subordinates directly. What exactly should those people do?

Success is quite normal. If you follow the path that others have taken, you will fall into the ditch. Then Ye Dongqing should reflect on where he went wrong. It doesn’t matter who is missing except himself. There are a lot of unemployed people. Waiting for work and awarding options now means he may lose tens of millions of dollars in profits in the future, so it's better to be careful in this regard.

Voluntarily resigning is different from being fired. He thinks that he treats Ms. Vigo very well, with a fixed salary of 400,000 US dollars a year, and bonuses in addition. Such benefits can definitely attract more capable people.

Ms. Vigo breathed a sigh of relief. She was disappointed but also happy at the same time. She replied: "Then I will work until the end of the month. Please find a suitable candidate as soon as possible. Some work matters need to be handed over."

"OK, I will think about it seriously..."

If the full score is 100 points, Ye Dongqing can almost rate Vigo's work at 70 points. It can be seen from other employees' complaints about her that she was able to manage a small company with only a dozen people at that time. It means that the current Tamsui Investment Group can also be managed well.

It's a good thing to resign voluntarily. At least he doesn't have to worry about the relationship between him and Ms. Vigo going bad someday in the future. In comparison, Kanike is very smart and knows that his abilities are limited. After going to California, he will work there. The results were very good, and a large bonus commission was inevitable at the end of the year.

It is indeed the richest state in the United States. He is busy selling there and has already secured orders worth more than 70 million US dollars. Now the total size of Tamsui Investment Group is rapidly approaching the one billion US dollar mark, including investment The investors' money also includes profits on paper. This part belongs to Ye Dongqing and the IRS (Federal Taxation Service). When starting a legitimate business, it is inevitable to deal with the IRS people. It is nothing more than a question of overpayment or underpayment.

After Ms. Vigo left, Ye Dongqing began to think about the manpower issue. He had two relatively good target candidates in mind. He planned to talk to them face to face later and decide on the most suitable person. If it didn't work, he would let the headhunting company do it. Help poach people and parachute in an experienced new manager. As long as the benefits are good enough, there is no need to worry about recruiting people. There is no shortage of elites in Manhattan.

At this moment, the front desk called and told someone named Quinn that he wanted to talk to Ye Dongqing...
