After a little persuasion, Xia Xu finally got Zhang San to accept his idea of starting his own company.
In fact, there is nothing to doubt about this kind of thing. You can find out by just asking around at Xinghai Venture Capital or Feizhou Studio. It's just that what happened to Xia Xu was indeed too bizarre for most people, and it was difficult for them to accept it at first.
"So, Professor Zhang, I am now seriously inviting you to join my company. If you agree, the position of legal director will be yours."
After making some statements, Xia Xu returned to the main topic and spoke seriously.
The reason why he was so direct was that he thought there was no need to go around in circles.
Zhang San is a full-time professor who has been teaching for many years. It can be said that his life is in a comfort zone that will not change easily.
If something really happened or if he hadn't had some ideas, even if Griffin Jones played the emotional card in the original plot, he would not have been likely to directly agree to officially work in his company.
Therefore, it can only be said that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Both parties have a certain willingness. Regardless of whether this willingness is based on his wife's nagging or economic pressure, at least it exists, and it is at most weak.
Based on this, frank discussion is the best approach.
Now he is not as penniless as before. He has Xinghai Venture Capital as his backer and is making recruitment invitations legally, compliantly and reasonably in the name of the company. All he needs to do is to come up with enough chips to impress the other party.
As for goodwill and friendship, that is a matter for the future. It will not be too late to slowly socialize with people after you have them under your command. Moreover, once the rules are integrated and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is clarified, it will become more convenient and natural for you to show favor and power.
This is the benefit of starting a company, and it is also the reason why he set up a consulting company when he was penniless, an organizational structure that everyone would take for granted and the name of reasonable "collection" of talents.
If you don't have a company, or you set up some secret organization, and you go to others and say you want to recruit them, then they will just think you are a psychopath and a dangerous person. Why should they follow you? Why would they follow you for no reason? Are you trying to get involved in society
But if it's a company recruiting, then it's perfectly normal. If you don't have an idea, you'll refuse. If you have an idea, you'll talk about the salary. If the salary is agreed upon, you'll start working directly. If the salary is not agreed upon, then you'll part ways. Both parties won't think there's anything special about it. It's a very common little thing.
Moreover, the company's organizational structure has been subtly accepted by all contemporary people and is naturally equipped with rules and principles.
Doing things according to the boss's instructions, even doing things outside of job duties, even running errands and working overtime, I believe that most people nowadays would not think that this is something extremely unacceptable and rare. Even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they will basically only mutter a few words behind the boss's back.
In this process, the boss and managers at all levels have the authority and reason that the rules should give them, and have become those in power.
When the 'company' has a certain number of people and is officially up and running, the entire rules framework and atmosphere will be completely formed. All new employees will be assimilated like a drop of water into a river. Everyone will tacitly abide by and maintain the 'rules' and strive for benefits and promotions within the rules.
By then, you basically won't need to worry about anything. Recruiting new people only requires one instruction, or even no instructions at all, and the employees assigned relevant functions will do it themselves.
As long as the company has sufficient strength and reputation, it can recruit any talent who is willing to work in the company with just a word, and the other party may even be grateful.
After all, by then, others might have been begging to join, and they would have to go through layers of interviews and reviews like a huge army of soldiers leaping over a dragon gate. Those who joined would be honored and happy, while those who were rejected would be like defeated dogs.
This is the benefit and horror of "rules", and it is also the essence and foundation of all organizational forms.
You have to know that even in modern times, when communications were not yet completely smooth, there were still people in the mountains who became emperors, and everything started because a group of villagers were playing house as a joke, playing the role of emperor and his ministers.
Of course, in the modern world, there may be a more obvious example - Chuanx.
Many people say that spreading X relies on brainwashing, and most people feel that the so-called brainwashing method is an insult to their intelligence and that only brain-disabled people will be fooled, but they obviously ignore the essence and rules of the entire method.
In the early stages it may be deception and coercion, but once the entire organizational framework is up and running, all those in power and those who have benefited will take the initiative to maintain the organizational framework, or everyone may restrain and fear each other due to fear and other factors, and for various reasons and concerns dare not break the rules, and ultimately choose to submit.
Let’s get back to the topic.
After Xia Xu revealed his identity and extended the employment invitation, Zhang San, as expected, began to consider it seriously.
Xia Xu was not in a hurry either. He kept his composure and waited quietly for him to make a decision.
"Okay, Mr. Xia, can we talk about the salary issue first?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhang San spoke again with a smile on his face.
"Annual salary of 1.2 million, plus an undetermined bonus."
Xia Xu never hesitates to spend money on truly valuable talents, because his current pursuit or vision has already transcended the scope of ordinary wealth. Although he still needs money, it is only a way to achieve his pursuit.
Therefore, although he does not have the domineering power to make people kneel down with just a shake of his tiger body, his generous ability to make money is obviously more fascinating.
At least Zhang San was indeed shocked.
Even for the position of legal director, a monthly salary of 30,000 to 50,000 is usually considered good. Xia Xu asked for an annual salary of 1.2 million, which was more than just a generous offer.
Although the 1.2 million is an annual salary, it translates to a monthly salary of 100,000, which is two to three times higher than the normal salary.
"Can I make a request..."
Zhang San took a deep breath and said.
"Whatever you ask for, just ask. I'll try my best to agree to whatever I can do."
Xia Xu nodded slightly, but didn't say too much.
"Can I advance your annual salary? If you can, I'll agree to it."
Zhang San took a deep breath and regained his composure.
"No problem, but as a condition, you are not allowed to provide legal assistance to anyone else during your term of office, including defense, consultation and all other related activities."
Xia Xu didn't mind it too much, but he didn't want Zhang San to think that he was too easy to talk to, so he made a request just in case.
"Mr. Xia, you are here for me today, right?"
Zhang San smiled bitterly.
"Is it against the law?"
Xia Xu raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face.
It was obvious that he was not surprised that Zhang San could guess it.
After all, he asked for a salary far beyond the norm and even accepted something as outrageous as an advance on his annual salary. Even if he put forward conditions, he was being too preferential. Any normal person would not give such treatment based on a few boastful remarks that might have been exaggerated or not.
If Zhang San couldn't even guess this, he should have suspected that there was something wrong with the attribute panel. After all, being a lawyer is a profession that tests logical ability very well.
"As far as I know, there are no laws or regulations in any country related to this."
Zhang San's slightly bandit-like face actually had a humorous soul, and he also joked, "If this is also considered illegal, then I will definitely firmly defend you, Mr. Xia, and use my life's energy to promote the amendment of this law... Well, on the premise that you pay me."
