Text Chapter 143: After the Reception, Inspect the Company
The Tom Cat reception was very successful, and the new shareholders also met with the company's management in turn. The shareholders who paid the money are very satisfied with Tom Cat's high-pressure management regulations that strictly abide by the law of commercial elimination.
Compared with the personalization and idealization of general IT companies, Tom Cat seems a bit serious and cruel. There was no way around this. Two-thirds of the management team in Zhou Jiexi's company were poached, and the rest were recruited independently from some Sky Games companies.
The number of people from the company is relatively mixed, and there was no company atmosphere and culture at all. Moreover, the big boss Zhou Jiexi treats this company as if he is not his own child, and he is not as close as Sky Games.
The management members were also very nervous, and the atmosphere of the company became a little more serious as a whole. The following basic divisions are better, and the management is a typical Wall Street style. The original people on Twitter just couldn't understand that kind of laxity, and they had a breakdown with the founder, so they were dug here.
No matter what the reason is, the atmosphere in the company has been like this for a while, and Zhou Jiexi doesn't plan to make any changes. Anyway, these shareholders are very satisfied with the current management system. Compared with the so-called individuality of other i companies, this is like a company with development potential.
Jin Fanxiu is also very satisfied. A large sum of dollars has been spent, and what he wants is a return on investment. The management here is very good and formal. Compared with the idealized management of ordinary IT companies, I don't know when to do something special. These people are reassuring.
They have no objection to Zhou Jiexi's mention of the company's relocation and the fact that Sky Games first paid for the construction of the headquarters. The company really needs a better working environment. The current profit is a little bit worse, and it will get better later. These can also be seen.
Just change it, that is, pay some rent, and the shareholders have no opinion. After the tone is set here, of course it becomes much easier.
And everyone is very satisfied with the future Zhou Jiexi has in mind. This is a company headquarters that needs more than 2,000 people. Including the company next door, this place will be able to accommodate more than 5,000 people in the future.
More than 5,000 people will soon be able to form an office and commercial area here. The value of the land next to it may also increase because of this, and it is very likely that this place will become a place for the employees of the company to buy their homes in the future.
So Zhou Jiexi is already planning to buy more land here. At that time, a few communities will be developed, with good schools and hospitals, etc., and they will be able to continue to earn money for themselves. More than 5,000 people are not a small population in the United States, and it is possible to build a small town around here in the future.
It is completely feasible to build several communities like this now, and the surrounding environment can be repaired, and it is still very convenient to live in. Write down this matter, Zhou Jiexi can continue to talk with those designers in the future.
The company's affairs are almost done, and Zhou Jiexi has relaxed a lot, saying that when he is alone, he can do whatever he wants, unlike the current situation, he has to inform others.
In the future, when there are more shareholders, a board meeting will be held. After listing, it will be more troublesome than it is now. As for the Tom Cat company, Jessie Zhou is determined to develop it until it goes public, and there will be a lot of evidence for its progress and retreat.
The stocks in his hands can also be exchanged for real cash, which is what he wants. Now he still has 90% of the shares in his hand, Tom Cat with a market value of 3 billion US dollars, he has 2.7 billion.
But that's not all. Among the 90% of the shares, at least about 10% must be left, which is reserved for the management to retain talents. But this is all three or four years later. Now it seems that if these people have the ability to follow three or four years later, then it is appropriate to give them stocks and options.
This stock cannot be given for free, but the price of the option is given to them, which is the price when the market value is 3 billion. Even when the company is worth 30 billion, they can still use the price of 3 billion. , to buy the option stocks you own.
So it's not free, but you have to spend money to buy it, otherwise you think you have the skills to get stocks. Zhou Jiexi knows a little about these old American company rules, but he has also learned a lot from the management and experience in Apple.
At least for the existing management, Zhou Jiexi will give stock options with a market value of 3 billion to 1.5 billion. It depends on their contribution. Among them, the new product director is really good. Zhou Jiexi gave him 0.1% of the stock option contract when it was 1.5 billion.
Now the value has doubled, as long as he gives the money to Zhou Jiexi in the future, the shares will truly belong to him. If you sell this part of the options without taking money, you can get money to buy your own shares.
However, these people are not in a hurry. If the options are given to them, they will definitely not be able to escape. Now the company is in the best growth state. What they have in their hands can basically be met after the company goes public. At least they are thousands of dollars. millionaire.
As long as the company's market value reaches more than 12 billion, then their option contracts will be a channel for multi-millionaires. Many of them will become millionaires. This is also a long-term incentive system for employees of companies that intend to go public.
The 10% reserved by Zhou Jiexi is still a lot left. He is not like in the novel, where a few percent is given away, and a few tenths of a percent are already a very enlightened boss.
Isn't that exciting enough that every management team will become a multi-millionaire in the future? And according to the inherent routines of IT companies, as long as the development is good, it can be realized within a few years.
The best middle class in the United States has an annual salary of 100,000, and it takes 100 years of work to become a multi-millionaire. As for those with an annual salary of more than 50,000 yuan, let alone. Besides, there is not just one option contract. If you see a contribution in the future, you can just give another one.
A million dollars can already make Lao Mei live a very comfortable life, and their house can have a villa with a swimming pool for only two to three hundred thousand dollars. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to pay for children to go to college, so I have a million dollars in my life, and when I get old, I can live a life with a small yacht and a good car.
During this period, they still have the ability to earn their own wages.
When it comes to tens of millions of dollars, they are already members of the elite class, a little worse than those of the billionaire class, but they are also members of the upper class of society.
In short, there are many hard-working people in Tom Cat, Zhou Jiexi and the shareholders are very satisfied. As for the Sky Games company next door, they have to work harder.
Regarding this company, Zhou Jiexi has not thought of going public for the time being. The company is a cash cow right now, so why rush to go public if there is no shortage of money. In addition to the company's employees and working groups, etc., after the release of their games, they all have sales commissions.
This part is real cash income. Several game groups are very rich now. Apart from Zhou Jiexi’s few game ideas, the next few games have also given birth to dozens of 100,000 yuan with commissions in the company. income person.
For the time being, these people have no intention of leaving the company, but it definitely doesn't mean they won't leave. It is possible to be independent if you have the ability and funds. What Zhou Jiexi can do is to let them know what kind of suppression they will face when they leave the company. The business society does not allow themselves to be kind to the enemy. Andy has already made a report. Zhou Jiexi and Apple Library When Bo talked about it, he also talked about this.
Arrange your own and suppress the enemy's. This is the law of business, and finally acquire the enemy's company and make the game your own. This is the safest and most efficient way. Whether it is a person who goes out of his own company or another company, this trick is also very useful.
A company inspection is a matter, and there was no arrangement in the first place. Zhou Jiexi also wanted to make a surprise attack. Here, Sky Games is optimistic, and Tom Cat International is also optimistic.
Other companies in San Francisco should check it out too! On the other side of Chinatown, go to the Chinese American Federation. Most of the people in it are shareholders of this project.
I believe that the birth of this Chinatown project will make a large number of people here become real estate tycoons. Just Zhou Jiexi deliberately reserved a building with a good location for himself, and rented it out for rent in the future.
The preliminary stage of the Chinatown project is almost over, and then we will see the governor election this time, and now there are still a few months before the result, and Zhou Jiexi is still waiting for the result. In the previous life, Brown was able to take over the position. In this life, with his help, according to his policy, I believe it is also possible to become the governor.
After all, I don't have too many conflicts with some other supporters on the issue of interests. The Chinatown project is only possible because it is of Chinese descent. If other ethnic groups do this, those Chinese descendants will not buy it.
It looks like it’s almost here, so he plans to go to his own Baoziwang to have a look. Recently, a lot of branches in the California area have opened, and the three major cities in California also have their own mobile food trucks. It spread among the American people.
Among the current Chinese fast food, apart from Panda Fast Food, it is his Baozi Wang that is more famous. Under a series of offensives such as some advertisements in the NBA and online advertisements, the Baoziwang brand has really become famous thanks to the already delicious steamed buns.
The whole United States dare not say anything, but in California, in cities with a large number of Chinese Americans, you can basically see the stores of Baoziwang. Most of them are mobile dining trucks. These vehicles are highly mobile and have a wide audience. In addition, they also need app software and other functions, and Tom Cat’s real-time positioning functions make it easy for people to buy Baoziwang’s products.
