Chapter 1434 (2/2)
Take cook for example. If he earns $5 million a year, Makino technology will sign an agreement with him for three years with a total price of $15 million. If he has worked for three years, it's OK to take at least $15 million. But if he wants to withdraw ahead of time, even one day ahead of time, he must compensate Makino technology for $45 million, and promise to withdraw for three years It is not allowed to engage in any industry that overlaps with the business of Muye technology.This kind of agreement seems harsh and unfair to individuals, but in fact, as long as both parties agree, it has legal effect. It's the same as the brokerage agreement signed by the brokerage company and the star. You can be honest and obedient to make sure you get rich. But if you dare to have two hearts, first let you pay a large amount of compensation, and then restrict your development to other companies. If you dare to play hooligans and bachelors, you can absolutely I told you that you were ruined.
Tim Cook thinks that Li Mu's condition is really too harsh. In three years, he will say that it is not long or short. In case of any change in the middle, he will face great responsibility? Even if they promise, others may not.
At this time, Lin Qingya added: ”of course, we are not blindly restricting you. As long as you comply with our requirements, Makino technology will also give you enough economic compensation. For example, we will give all members of Apple's core team 150% salary, and promise to give you a considerable number of Makino technology's original options at the end of this year or next year Technology IPO is a good opportunity for you. ”
Cook nodded slightly. In this way, he felt much better. The one-sided restriction would give people a huge sense of oppression. But if he gave other relaxed restrictions at the same time, he would be able to neutralize this sense of oppression. 150% of the salary, plus the option of Makino technology, such a good income condition, presumably most people would not refuse.
So cook asked her, ”is there any other precondition for Lin?”
”Yes.” Lin Qingya said: ”just now, you want to ensure that 90% of the core team members remain unchanged and 80% of the basic team members remain unchanged. So the second prerequisite is that another 10% - 20% of the team members may change. If you are sure to leave apple, you must sign a three-year competition agreement. In these three years, you must not engage in any occupation that coincides with the business of Muye technology, as a business partner In other words, Muye technology will also pay an extra year's salary as compensation for the competition agreement. ”
Cook was a little confused.
Why does Li Mu impose so many restrictions on Apple's core team? The more restrictions like this in business, the more fear in the other party's heart, but what is Li Mu afraid of apple?
Lin Qingya saw cook's doubts and said calmly: ”Mr. cook doesn't have to think too much about it. We always like to cut the grass and root in our character. Even one tenth of the risks should be eliminated as early as possible. And you have to be clear that we ask you to ensure that the team is as unchanged as possible, which is much better than asking you to carry out large-scale layoffs. If the latter is the case You just have to pay an astronomical sum of money. ”
Cook suddenly felt a chill in his back.
Is this the secret of Li Mu's victory? Cook has studied the development history of Li Mu. There are a lot of companies and products in Li Mu's hands, but none of them can resist Li Mu's battle. Tengxun has become a history, Alibaba bar has become a history, and there are also a lot of people in the detention center waiting for criminal trial. It can be said that both opponents have been uprooted by Li Mu.
Now, Li Mu's target is apple.
Cook suddenly thought about Li Mu's idea about iPod business just mentioned by Lin Qingya. Normally, since Muye technology has acquired apple, it can dump the iPod in stock at a low price to recover part of the loss. If the iPod in stock with a market value of $100 million and a cost of $60 million is sold at a price of $40 million, the overall actual loss will be The loss is about 20 million US dollars, which recovers 66.6% of the loss. This is also the operation mode that most enterprises and entrepreneurs will choose.
But what Li Mu thinks is not to sell the stocks at a low price to reduce losses, but to destroy all the iPods in stock so that the iPods can disappear from the market completely as soon as possible, which also reflects the character of Li Mu's ”weed out”.
Cook was shocked by Li Mu's skill, but he tried to make his performance less obvious. Then he asked Lin Qingya, ”Mr. Lin, is there anything else?”
Lin Qingya nodded and said, ”the third and last precondition is that Mr. jobs must rejoin apple and then apply to plan 333. If he does not rejoin apple, he must sign a six-year competition agreement with Muye technology.”
Li Mu doesn't want to buy apple, but he lets jobs toss outside. He has no doubt about his ability, creativity and vision. He respects and admires jobs very much, but now he must lock him in his own system. Otherwise, jobs is likely to become a huge hidden danger in the future development of pastoral science and technology.
”Mr. Lin, Steven jobs has left apple. Strictly speaking, he is not an apple employee now, and apple has no binding force on him,” Cook said subconsciously
Lin Qingya said: ”Mr. cook, this is one of the conditions for Makino technology to acquire apple. If Apple wants to promote this acquisition cooperation, please try to implement these things. Similarly, we will try to implement our commitment, so that your shareholders don't need to go out to subsidize shareholders or pay extra money to pay compensation to Apple employees So you should try to persuade Mr. jobs to accept the offer. ”
