Wall Street Legend

In the past, what I thought about was how to survive. Now that Facebook has become the No. 1 social platform in the world, the most important thing to consider is how to occupy more market share and win the love of users. This requires our employees to be more Be cautious.

It's not that we can't give some shares to outstanding employees and management. In Ye Dongqing's opinion, it's worthwhile. Anyway, it won't affect his decision-making power. As the shares appreciate in the future, employees will also have a stronger sense of belonging. For him, There are only advantages and no disadvantages to being a boss. It's just a loss of some money.

According to what he means, option rewards can be given, and the house can also be given at a low price, but it must be worth the money.

According to his past understanding, the biggest expense for employees in Silicon Valley is houses. Even equity can be put aside in front of houses. If it is very close to the company and surrounded by schools, shopping places, etc., then even if the company gives them If you offer a higher salary, the poached employees may choose to stay, and it will be easier for them to have a good impression of them and the company.

Becky Moore was shocked when she heard this. Considering the number of employees in the company, it would definitely not be a small community. She immediately asked: "With the company's current financial situation, it is difficult to support such a large community." A large-scale real estate development project, right? If it is more than 3,000 apartments, it may require hundreds of millions of dollars in construction funds."

"It doesn't need to be that big. It can be rented together by two friends, or three or four friends. In addition, a group of single-family apartments can be built. Senior management of your company can also share in it. After working for a certain number of years, I can even rent the house." It’s given to you, and the excellent employees also share it.

Let’s start this project first. You can help draft a system clause. Facebook won’t have to pay for the funding. I still have a lot of money in New York. It’s not a big problem to build some houses. It doesn’t mean that I’m not as good as the founder of Google. person? Now let’s see who treats them best! "

Ms. Moore subconsciously thought that the young boss was acting out of impulse, but this decision was beneficial to her and other employees of the company, and of course she would not push this good thing out.

As the chief operating officer, as long as the project is truly completed, she will definitely be able to get a so-called villa in it. No one will think that she does not earn enough, and her heart is certain. Now she drives for more than 20 minutes every morning. You need a car to get to the company.

After thinking about something, he asked Ye Dongqing: "What about YouTube and WhatsApp? This time, after the sale of Skype to Microsoft, bonuses will be distributed, and they are very jealous."

“Yes, there are, even interns who have just joined the company are no exception, but they must be able to stay in order to enjoy these benefits.

Discuss with others. You can inform the employees first that I have decided to do this. Unless I suddenly go bankrupt, I will never regret it. As for option rewards, there must be options. You need to help me work out these first. I will come from New York. Send someone over to negotiate with you..."

Hrithik, a young man of Indian origin, has received news that Ye Dongqing called Ms. Moore into the office.

I finally started to worry, worried that the operations officer, Ms. Moore, would soon send someone to talk to me and then tell me to pack my things and get out. Although I signed an employment contract, everyone knew who the boss wanted to fire. It was just a matter of thought. , it’s just a matter of spending more compensation.

Then he thought about it, he was a member of the union, and he felt that other employees would support him. As time passed, he was so nervous that he was sweating on his back. If he hadn't sprayed thick cologne, he would have sweated. The stench can reach the noses of colleagues.

Just as he was about to go to the bathroom to wipe off his sweat and clean himself, he learned that Operations Officer Moore wanted to talk to him.

In the tense state of mind, where he was ready to die, Hrithik found that his friends lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him. He was so angry that he wanted to curse.

After talking for more than ten minutes, this guy came back. The wind was blowing under his feet as he walked, showing his white teeth, which looked even whiter compared with his dark skin. He jumped on an empty table, clapped his hands and shouted: "Everyone! Our company is about to build a large community nearby, with schools, swimming pools, gyms, and even commercial streets! Leo’s boss and operating officer Ms. Moore decided to allocate these thousands of houses to us, and the rents are very, very low. After reaching a certain level and working for a few years, the house will be ours!”

"real!?"

"God! This is such good news. I hate the little room I live in now!"

"Praise the boss! I want a house of my own!"

"Hey! Do you know where it will be built?"

…

It is an open space with hundreds of programmers working here.

After hearing the news announced by Hrithik, the situation exploded instantly. The job actually came with a house, and it was a new house in the San Francisco Bay Area. They simply couldn't imagine that this meant that they would save several years of hard work!

Eager to know the specific implementation time and rules, the union leader they had chosen as a joke was suddenly surrounded by a crowd of surprised people, including the middle-level and low-level managers who had just learned the news. Hrithik actually betrayed him and I immediately wanted to beat him up!

*******

In the independent office, Ye Dongqing was looking out through the gap between the blinds.

His previous idea was to give money to solve the problem and not touch the company's shares. After all, he knew that Facebook and several other companies still had a lot of room for development, and their valuations would double. A little delay would mean This way he can earn more and leave a lot of money for these employees.

There is no capitalist who is not greedy. He is not rich enough to not take money seriously, and his mentality has not changed. It is estimated that the benefits this time are enough to keep people looking forward to it for a year or two. As for the option rewards, according to his idea, it is better to wait. If they get it early, it will be very difficult for these employees, especially the senior employees. Not attractive anymore.

At this moment, Ye Dongqing received a text message saying that Amazon has temporarily suspended trading today. It seems that the additional shares for financing have passed the review of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Tamsui Investment Group will also subscribe for a batch of new shares. , calculate the amount of shares held, and after the opening of the market, the proportion of total equity may be slightly higher than now.

The last time Mr. Jeff Bezos went to New York, Ye Dongqing talked to him about this matter face to face. Now he called him and asked him: "I have received the news that the stock has been suspended. Last time I talked to you, Do you still think about what we discussed? How about I lend you money to buy the shares and then transfer them to me after a premium?"

"Sorry, Leo, I have decided to take out a loan to subscribe for a batch of new shares. I have no intention of selling them in the near future..."
