Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1254 Competition Agreement

Eric was stunned. He didn't expect President Pei to say such a thing at all.

What can I do?

Eric is very clear in his heart that although there are many objective factors in his failure, sometimes he is held back by the top management, and sometimes it is because the game of ioi is really different from GOG... But no matter what, he loses. Lost!

He was completely defeated by President Pei and was beaten in a fancy way.

Moreover, Tengda is full of talents. For a game such as GOG, version updates, numerical balance, operational activities, e-sports events, etc., it is impossible for President Pei to do it himself. All these tasks are done by Tengda's internal employees Responsible.

Even if the huge role of President Pei is excluded, these employees should not be underestimated!

In other words, the Tenda game department is the core department of the entire Tenda Group. Anyone who pulls it out can open up a new industry and expand the territory for President Pei's business empire.

As a result, President Pei was not very satisfied with the person in charge of GOG? Did you say you want to replace it?

Give me this seat?

Eric thinks this is quite unreal, but looking at Mr. Pei's expression carefully, he seems to be very serious, not joking at all.

So he really started thinking about the possibility.

Seeing Eric fell silent, Pei Qian suddenly realized a problem: "Oh, I overlooked a problem."

"You are also a high-level executive of Dayak Group. Shouldn't you have signed a competition agreement?"

"If you change jobs, how much liquidated damage will you have to pay?"

Small companies are fine, but large companies basically sign non-compete agreements and non-disclosure agreements with high-level executives, just to prevent malicious poaching by rival companies.

The non-disclosure agreement is well understood, which means that even if the employee resigns, they cannot disclose or take away company secrets, otherwise they will bear the corresponding responsibility.

Otherwise, high-level job-hopping will directly bring company secrets to rival companies. Isn't it all messed up?

As for the non-compete agreement, it constrains similar things, but the content of the specific constraints is different.

Generally speaking, non-compete agreements are mainly aimed at key and indispensable high-level personnel, restricting them not to engage in part-time jobs in similar businesses during their employment, and not to join competitors in the same field for a period of time after they leave.

How much is this "period of time"? Different companies have different regulations, but it is generally two years. After all, it is too short and meaningless.

Of course, the content of the agreement cannot be written too broadly.

For example, a company wrote in the non-compete agreement that employees are not allowed to join any domestic or foreign Internet companies within two years after leaving the company. Farmer's company?

Therefore, it is generally accurate to a specific field, such as social software, shopping websites, etc.

For example, game companies often specify that they are not allowed to join other game companies, and individuals are not allowed to start game companies.

Or, it will be stated that you cannot join certain companies, and the company name will be clearly written. These companies are often big companies in the industry, and although their main business is different, there is a competitive relationship, which is normal.

After signing a non-compete agreement, employees are restricted, so the company must also provide certain compensation: after the employee leaves, they must continue to pay monthly, usually more than 30% of the original rated income, which can be regarded as abiding by the non-compete agreement. "Hush-up Fee" and "Compensation Fee".

If the company doesn't pay for a few months, the non-compete agreement's restrictions on employees are ineffective.

But Dayak Group is a serious company, and these aspects must be extremely formal.

If Eric did sign a non-compete agreement, it would be a bit of a hassle.

If you want to poach people, you have to pay liquidated damages. The situation of each company is different, but at least it will cost millions.

The point is, the system doesn't necessarily allow Pei Qian to spend the money to poach people.

Eric nodded: "There is a competition agreement."

Pei Qian felt a little pain in the ass.

What's up with this?

Ask Eric to talk to the top management of Dayak Group and cancel this competition agreement?

Wouldn't that amount to telling others that I'm going to jump ship to a competitor's company?

The top management of Dayak Group is not stupid, how could they agree.

It's a little tricky.

Eric pondered for a moment and said, "But if I really want to change jobs to Tenda, this competition agreement may not necessarily limit me."

Pei Qian: "?"

For a while, he couldn't think of a person from a specific background who could say such a thing.

What, could it be that the European justices are your relatives?

Seeing Mr. Pei's slightly stunned expression, Eric knew that he must have misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Of course I can't violate the content of the competition agreement itself, but if I want to change jobs to Tengda, I will not will not be restricted by this non-compete agreement.”

"Because Tenda does not meet the conditions stipulated in the competition agreement."

Pei Qian still didn't understand.

Tenda's GOG and Finger Company's ioi have created a dog-brained competition. This is an ironclad fact, right?

So Eric, as the person in charge of ioi, jumped to GOG, which would trigger a non-compete agreement, right?

Eric explained: "My situation is a bit special."

"In fact, whether it is in Dayak Group or in the finger company, there is a non-compete agreement."

"The competition agreement on Zhitou's side states that senior management and core designers are not allowed to join any other game companies within two years after leaving, naturally including Tenda."

"But I am not an employee of Zhitou Company, so I did not sign this competition agreement with Zhitou Company."

"As for the non-compete agreement on Dayak Group's side, the situation is different from that on Zhitou's side."

"The main business of Dayak Group is in water affairs, transportation, energy, media, etc. Although it has bought some game companies, it is not its main business at all."

"Moreover, my original department was the media department, so my non-compete agreement stated that the main restriction was not to join other European and American media companies, as well as water, transportation, energy and other companies that form direct competition with Dayak Group. ."

"In addition, it is also restricted from joining some internationally renowned Internet companies, such as several large companies in Silicon Valley."

"Although the scope is very wide, Tenda is really not among them..."

Pei Qian was shocked.

Can you do this?

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he was really unaffected!

In fact, there are also some senior executives in China who have switched jobs among major companies, but those who have signed a competition agreement are basically unable to escape, and they will be accepted.

After all, whether there is any competition between the two companies can be seen at a glance.

But Eric's situation is obviously very special.

He was not originally in the game industry, but was in charge of some affairs in the media company of the Dayak Group.

After Dayak Group acquired Zhitou Company, on the one hand, it hoped to strengthen its control over Zhitou Company, and on the other hand, it was also to better expand the business of ioi in the national server, so it sent Eric to be the person in charge.

Although Eric was in charge of the game business first, it was not written in his competition agreement.

Just like a company developing mobile phones, it will not state in the competition agreement that it is not allowed to work as a designer in a game company, and it will not state that it is not allowed to wash dishes or be a waiter in a restaurant.

Because even if other executives change jobs, they have to jump to their main business.

The so-called non-compete agreement is to hope that employees will not jump into the same industry to form a competitive relationship with themselves. It is also to prevent large companies from maliciously poaching each other and damaging the employment environment.

If people change industries and don't let them work, isn't this a hooligan? The law will not support it at all.

But Eric just crossed the industry because of business expansion, which caused the content of the original competition agreement to not take effect...

Of course, this agreement also named many big companies in various fields, but Tenda was not included.

Because Tengda is a Chinese company, and its real rise has only been in the past two or three years. Originally, Dayak Group had never heard of it, so how could it be possible to write Tengda's name in the competition agreement without knowing it?

Pei Qian never imagined that it could be like this.

Moreover, he suddenly realized that he and Eric were already seriously discussing the possibility of job-hopping...

This made Eric also fall into silence, feeling that there was something wrong with this topic.

It may be that President Pei's thirst for talent is beyond words, which makes Eric unconsciously infected.

Pei Qian's voice suddenly became louder: "That's easy!"

"Brother Ai, when will you be able to join the job? It shouldn't take you a few days to go back and go through the resignation procedures, right?"

Eric was a little shocked, shouldn't he be in such a hurry?

President Pei is really unreserved and has no leadership at all.

But isn't this also the charm of President Pei's personality?

After pondering for a moment, Eric said, "Mr. Pei, this matter is too sudden, I have no psychological preparation, and I have to think about it again."

"And... if I really want to join Tenda, I have a small request."

"Can you dig Mr. Zhao from Longyu Group too?"

"I have a tacit understanding of cooperation with him, and I hope to continue working together."

"Of course, if you think that Mr. Pei is incompetent, then forget it. Moreover, most of Mr. Zhao really carries a competition agreement on his back, so this matter may not be easy to handle."

Pei Qian nodded immediately: "Okay! No problem!"

Pei Qian was impressed by Zhao Xuming, and he was very impressed.

He seems to have little ability, the only outstanding ability is not to take the blame.

If such a person can continue to team up with Eric, wouldn't the possibility of losing money be greatly increased?

At that time, let Eric be in charge of the overseas market, and let Zhao Xuming be in charge of the domestic market, one outside and one inside, live together!

Of course, if there is a non-compete agreement on Zhao Xuming's side, Pei Qian really doesn't know how to solve it.

I can only think of a way to see if I can reach some kind of interest cooperation with Longyu Group and replace Zhao Xuming.

If it really doesn't work, then forget it, it can only be said that there is no fate.

If there is only one Eric, although it is not particularly perfect, it should be enough.
