Chapter 1409: I'm Fake and Stingy, You Are Really Stingy
Li Dong has no time to care about Pingchuan's affairs.
That night, Li Dong met Wang Tao for the first time.
UAVs have existed for a long time, but they were mostly used as military equipment in the past.
In China, civilian drones are known to the public. It can be said that they are almost bound to DJI and Wang Tao.
When it comes to drones, the public first thinks of DJI, followed by Wang Tao, the founder of DJI.
It is DJI, which has thoroughly promoted the term drone. Before that, there were people who knew about drones, but most people felt that drones were too far away from them.
Wang Tao is very arrogant, which can be felt from his few words in later generations.
When interviewed by the media, Wang Tao said: "I admire Jobs, but there is no one in the world that I really admire."
Just this sentence alone can feel his arrogance penetrated deep into his bones.
Of course, no matter how arrogant you are, it's best not to show it until you have achieved fame.
At least, when facing this world-renowned business tycoon in front of him, Wang Tao restrained his pride.
When meeting Li Dong, Wang Tao didn't talk much, but he always had a smile on his face.
And Li Dong didn't talk to Wang Tao as soon as they met, but reached out to shake Li Zexiang's hand, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for two years. Professor Li is still as energetic as ever."
Li Zexiang also smiled and said: "I have nothing to change, but you have changed a lot.
The spirit is completely different from before. Seeing you again after two years reminds me of another person. "
Li Dong smiled and asked, "Who?"
"Mr. Changjiang Li."
Li Dong laughed loudly and said, "I'm so honored, I'm a fledgling junior, there's no way to compare, and there's no need to compare."
As soon as these words came out, Li Zexiang stopped talking immediately.
In a word, it can be understood from different angles.
It is no problem to say that Li Dong is modest.
But there is no need to compare one sentence, but it has a profound meaning, and Li Zexiang doesn't know what Li Dong means.
Young entrepreneurs like Li Dong, especially at this point, are not arrogant.
As for whether that person is old, who can say clearly.
Li Zexiang didn't want to make Li Dong bear hatred just because of a single sentence, so he immediately changed the subject and said with a smile: "It's a bit abrupt to come here this time.
But Wang Tao is my student at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and when the call came from afar, I happened to be right next to him.
I heard that you wanted to talk to Wang Tao, so I didn't invite you.
If it's not convenient, I'll go down and have a cup of coffee first, and I'll come back later. "
"Professor Li is being polite, it's not a commercial secret.
I just came to Shenzhen City, and I heard that a young entrepreneur has emerged here, so I wanted to meet up and chat for a while, which made you laugh. "
Li Dong smiled and called the two to sit down.
Bai Su, who just arrived yesterday afternoon, poured tea for several people in a hurry.
Wang Tao was a little impatient, and when Bai Su finished pouring the tea, Wang Tao couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Li, I am very honored to be invited here this time.
As the fastest-rising entrepreneur of the younger generation in China, I have always wanted to meet you.
This time I finally got my wish, can I ask you a few questions? "
Li Dong smiled and said: "Of course, just chatting, just ask casually, the older generation of entrepreneurs in the circle now have a generation gap with us, and we can't chat together.
Talking to young people and people of the same generation has always been my favorite thing to do.
Of course, you can also understand that in front of the older generation of entrepreneurs, we can't point out the country and show off.
My contemporaries don't have such scruples. "
As soon as Li Zexiang said this, he laughed, but Wang Tao agreed with it very much, and nodded quickly: "It is true. In front of the older generation of entrepreneurs, the age gap alone makes people unconsciously more awe-inspiring."
He was deeply touched, and Li Zexiang and Bai Su, who was eavesdropping, were speechless.
Li Dong was joking with you, but you took it seriously!
Is he afraid of contacting the older generation of entrepreneurs?
He likes contacting these old men the most!
Older entrepreneurs don't look for Li Dong,
He has to take the initiative to find you, and by the way, get to know a few more nephews and nieces.
Nowadays, the older generations of entrepreneurs are afraid of seeing him, and avoid him when they see him. As for the so-called three-point awe because of their age, respect is a little bit, awe, which does not exist here in Li Dong.
Wang Tao didn't care about their thoughts, and hurriedly said after speaking: "Mr. Li, I have always been a little confused, or it's not that I am confused, but that no one understands me.
And I found that you are very similar to me, but in the end you have achieved what you are now.
Therefore, I especially want to ask your opinion, and I hope you can give me some pointers. "
Li Dong smiled and said, "Tell me about it."
"With regard to the issue of equity, since DJI was founded in 2006, our founding team, because of equity reasons, now except for the teacher who is still supporting me, almost everyone else has left.
And one of the main reasons for their departure is the issue of equity allocation.
Everyone left, the biggest consensus was that I was stingy.
But I really don't understand why the company is in a hurry to distribute benefits now before it's time to distribute benefits?
A start-up company, in my opinion, needs more centralization and unity of will.
But everyone doesn't understand me, they think I'm stingy and selfish, and the resigned employees and founders are very dissatisfied with me.
And according to my understanding, Yuanfang seems to be the same, even until now, it has always been like this, so why did Yuanfang achieve such success?
Moreover, some employees and executives from far away, even after leaving, hardly hear any complaints about shareholding or money issues.
Mr. Li, can you tell me the secret? "
It is really difficult for Wang Tao to understand this point. It is also centralized. Why does Li Dong in the distance not have this problem?
Some employees and executives who resigned from far away, even if they complained, at most it was because of the high work pressure. Li Dong was too strong and rarely questioned others.
Even if there is, they usually complain about people like Yuan Chengdao.
But DJI is different. The resigned employees and veterans have almost no good words.
All kinds of abuse, all kinds of complaints, all kinds of dissatisfaction made Wang Tao extremely painful.
Even if he doesn't care, how can he really not care.
To be a great entrepreneur, a successful entrepreneur, charisma is very important.
As for Li Dong, he currently has such a charisma.
People from all walks of life have mixed praises and criticisms for Li Dong, and there are many abuses, not none.
But most of the voices are actually praises.
Even those remote employees who have resigned, when it comes to Li Dong, they are more admired and awed.
As for other entrepreneurs in the industry, they have various opinions about Li Dong, such as petty, stingy, vicious, overbearing...
However, these claims are often just a joke.
Some business giants scolded Li Dong for being vicious and stingy, but in fact they had a better relationship with Li Dong in private. They said these words mostly in a joking tone.
Therefore, this made Wang Tao feel very painful.
The same choice, different treatment, why is there such a big difference between people!
Li Dong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Secret?
There is no secret to this.
Let's just say you think you're the same as me, but you're actually quite different.
There are very few veterans in Yuanfang, and the founders are only me and Sun Tao, the current vice president of Yuanfang Group.
I'm really centralized, but that doesn't mean I'm really stingy.
The employees and executives who have entered the distant place know that I do not allocate equity, but I will give everything that should be given, and all the benefits will not be less for them.
In the early days of entrepreneurship, Yuanfang's equity was worthless, and it was not as good as the benefits I gave them.
At this time, they will not be seriously dissatisfied because of the equity issue.
When Yuanfang grows stronger, our equity will be astronomical.
At this time, some people actually expressed the idea of executives and employees holding shares, but I refused, but I made compensation in other ways.
In addition, the most critical point is that Yuanfang is rising fast.
I took them through this hesitation period as quickly as possible.
They don't even have time to think about it. They only think about work every day, so they don't have time to think about equity.
And their salaries range from 10,000 to 0,000, to 0,000,000...
This explosive growth made them feel that they are too dissatisfied to make other demands.
And what about DJI?
It has been three years. How much benefit have you created in the past three years?
Does your team have cars, houses and deposits?
Is everyone on your team a millionaire?
You can't even guarantee your basic life, and you can't even see the future. Isn't it natural to want equity?
If you can create millions of wealth for them within a year, they will not force you to ask for equity, nor will they scold you for being stingy.
So if you are stingy, you are really stingy! "
The previous analysis made everyone feel that the point was on point.
But the last sentence made Wang Tao's face full of embarrassment.
Not far away, Bai Su's body trembled, and he forced his smile back.
The skill of the boss's poisonous tongue is still the same as before, I hope the young man in front of him can hold on.
Wang Tao was embarrassed, but he didn't have time to think about it at this time, after listening to Li Dong's words, Wang Tao couldn't help sighing: "It seems to be true.
The faster the company develops, the more united it is internally, because they don't have time to think about it, and they can see a bright future.
And when a company is stuck in place, or unable to move forward, various problems will arise.
After all, it is still driven by interests. "
Li Dong smiled lightly: "It's very normal, profit is the driving force.
When you don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, all dreams are empty.
Those who talk about dreams are actually rich people who don’t worry about food and drink. You expect a group of people who don’t even have enough rent to realize your dreams with you. Do you think it’s possible?
Your family is superior, you can have time and capital to chase your dreams, others can't.
So don't complain too much, don't think they are greedy, they are different from you, if you can't give them what they want, they will naturally leave. "
Although Wang Tao's family is not considered wealthy, it is above the standard.
Of course, Li Dong knows this without checking the information.
When Wang Tao was young, what era was that?
At that time, they could get access to remote-controlled helicopters, and they could buy them back and take them apart for fun. This kind of life was unimaginable for Li Dong and the others.
Everyone can afford to fly in the sky, but Li Dong and the others don't even have the chance to run on the ground.
So Wang Tao doesn't have to worry about food and drink, doesn't have to think about what to do with the money for the next marriage and childbirth, doesn't have to think about the support of his parents...
But not everyone in this world can do that.
What's more, Wang Tao is indeed really stingy. DJI's early stage is for hobby entrepreneurship, and the salary is not high in the later stage. In Shenzhen City and Xiangjiang, it takes ten days and a half months to think about eating a big meal.
A day or two is okay, but after a long time, who would be happy.
In the distance, Li Dong is very tight in grasping the equity, but the executives who follow him, who lacks a car and a house ticket?
The only thing missing is a sense of belonging and security.
But now, with the acquisition of Weibo's options, this problem is gradually disappearing.
Since Weibo can be distributed, and Li Dong has always said that sooner or later everyone will have a share, and everyone in the distance believes that he can do what he says. At this time, even Yuan Chengdao no longer mentions the matter of employee stock ownership.
As for ordinary employees, they can just get paid, and they don't have extravagant expectations.
Seeing Wang Tao getting more and more embarrassed, Li Dong stopped talking about it, and said with a smile: "Of course, if you don't think it's necessary for them, you can just leave, it doesn't matter.
As for the verbal abuse, as long as you don't care about it, a piece of meat is indispensable.
There are too many people who scold me, unless they scold me face to face, otherwise I don't bother to care. "
Bai Su on the side was tired again, I wish you were so generous.
Still too lazy to care, too lazy to care, the size of Yuanfang's legal team is so large now?
Some time ago, you kept sending people to court, didn't you do it?
She was slandering, but she heard Wang Tao sincerely thanked Li Dong: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for reminding me, it made me realize that I care too much about these things."
Bai Su didn't want to listen anymore, anyway, Li Dong fooled these young entrepreneurs, and he always fooled them, so it was meaningless to listen.
She was there when she was fooling Wang Xin, but the boss quit and came to work in a distant place.
However, Wang Xin's choice is not bad, at least now Wang Xin has almost become the actual person in charge of Weibo, and his reputation and income are much greater than before.
Bai Su was too lazy to listen to this, and went to the side to sort out the materials, but Li Dong and the others were not idle.
After answering Wang Tao's questions, Li Dong went straight to the point and said, "This time I said I invited you to chat for a while, but not all of them.
In fact, I also have a few doubts and would like to communicate with you, a professional.
Professor Li is here just in time, you are all experts in this field, I think I should hear what I want today. "
As soon as these words came out, the two people on the opposite side quickly put away their smiles, looked at Li Dong, and waited for Li Dong to ask questions.
Li Dong asked them to chat for a while, which was just nonsense.
How busy he is now can be seen from the frequency of his visits these days.
With no business to do, is he wasting time on the founder of an unremarkable small company?
