Although these eighty people are full of expectations for Makino Technology, deep down they are not very hopeful. However, for their current predicament, the best solution is to join Makino Technology. After all, its magnitude It is much bigger than Sina, and it is the leader in instant messaging. If you join Makino Technology, apart from other things, I am afraid that no other company can match it in terms of stability.
With the expectations of more than 80 people on his shoulders, Chen Hui got up and went to the office of his immediate boss, Sun Qian, and explained the situation to Sun Qian in detail. Sun Qian was greatly surprised when he heard that Sina had cut off UC, and he immediately said: "Come on, come with me to Mr. Kong's office."
Kong Lingyu was very excited when he heard about this incident. He did not expect that Sina would automatically disband UC under pressure. This was naturally good news for Makino Technology. It not only eliminated an infancy opponent, but also It highlights the current influence of Makino Technology in the industry. As for the more than 80 former QQ employees, Kong Lingyu naturally wants to recruit them, but he knows very well that this matter still depends on Li Mu’s wishes. It seems that Liu Xuebin offended Li Mu last time God knows what Li Mu is thinking now. Although Li Mu is usually very talkative, Kong Lingyu knows that he has a very bad temper, otherwise he would not have tormented Sina like this.
Li Mu was not at Makino Technology today. When Kong Lingyu called him, he was on Taobao. Everything has been going smoothly at Makino Technology recently, and most of his energy has been transferred to Taobao.
After receiving a call from Kong Lingyu and learning that Sina had cut off the UC department to bow to Makino Technology, Li Mu felt much better. Before Kong Lingyu could talk about the more than 80 former QQ employees, Li Mu took the initiative to ask him: " What's the situation of the UC team now? Those who came from QQ should have been laid off, right?"
Kong Lingyu said: "I was just about to report this to you. The news fed back by Chen Hui was that more than 80 people were laid off. Liu Xuebin ran away early because he received Sina's 500,000 signing fee. Now everyone else hopes to have the opportunity to join Makino Technology, so I asked Chen Hui to make the connection and wanted to ask about our attitude, so I called you to ask."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Do you even need to ask? Except for Liu Xuebin, take them all and take them immediately."
Kong Lingyu didn't expect Li Mu to be so happy, so he subconsciously asked: "Boss, you don't have any objections to them, do you?"
Li Mu said: "There must be opinions. They chose the latter between Makino Technology and Sina, which proves that they all have a serious lack of vision. But since they are engaged in technology, it does not matter whether they have vision or not. Only if they can work It’s the most important thing.”
Kong Lingyu admired Li Mu even more in his heart. In any case, a boss worth billions would be a little angry after being rejected by a team. He was really worried that Li Mu would not want these dozens of people and give them a profound understanding. However, what he didn't expect was that Li Mu would accept all these people without hesitation. It can be seen that although he is already worth billions, he has not really grown in value and looks at the problem very objectively.
However, Li Mu added at this time, saying: "I have to make one thing clear first. If these people join now, their remuneration will not be the same as the offer we gave them before. The salary standards for all of them will be different." We need to give them a 20% discount on their salary standards during Tengxun, and all of them will be classified as basic R&D personnel, and they will not be allowed to have access to our core technical links in a short period of time."
In fact, Li Mu has already considered this issue earlier, and he has also known clearly for a long time that as long as he is here, no matter whether or when UC goes online, the final outcome will be death, so this team will be released by Sina sooner or later. , when the time comes, I will definitely give them a new offer, which is 80% of the previous salary. Do you like it or not? After rejecting Makino Technology once, you still want to get the previous salary standard. That is nonsense, everyone. We are all adults and must take responsibility for our decisions and pay the price.
Kong Lingyu had no objection to Li Mu's decision. Even he himself felt that these people should pay the price for their hastiness and ignorance, so he immediately conveyed Li Mu's 80% salary standard to Chen Hui and asked him to convey it to Chen Hui. His former colleagues, Kong Lingyu also said: "This is Mr. Li's decision, so you tell them that there is no room for bargaining. If you are not willing to accept it, forget it. If you are willing to accept it, you can come tomorrow for induction." "
Regarding how to use this group of people in the future, Kong Lingyu did not disclose it to Chen Hui. He planned to communicate with Sun Qian privately.
Chen Hui nodded and said, "Then I will reply to them right now. 80% salary is not bad. I believe they will not refuse."
Indeed, as Chen Hui expected, these former QQ employees who had just been kicked out by Sina would indeed not refuse, and they had no reason to refuse. The salary was lower, but at least it was much better than when they were laid off by Tengxun. Of course, they could not compete with Sina. The salary/benefits ratio offered by Sina was so bad that they couldn't compare it with Sina's salary.
Now everyone was unemployed again soon after arriving in Yanjing. Thinking back to the difficulty of finding a job after being unemployed last time, they were deeply afraid. Therefore, after Chen Hui informed them of Makino Technology's decision, this group of people not only did not hesitate, but I am very fortunate to have made the decision to join Makino Technology.
Without exception, all eighty-four people accepted the conditions of Makino Technology and were willing to join Makino Technology.
Therefore, Kong Lingyu immediately communicated with Lin Qingya and asked her to be responsible for the recruitment of these eighty people.
Lin Qingya immediately arranged for the HR department to arrive early tomorrow to handle the onboarding process for these more than 80 people, and let the person in charge of HR be responsible for arranging workstations, purchasing office supplies and other related support work.
The eighty-four people finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just a moment ago, they were all worried in the office of their department. Now they were chatting and laughing, taking their things and getting ready to go home. For them, their mood at this moment was no different from getting off work. , they’re just going to work in a different place tomorrow. The salary is a bit lower, but it’s still reasonable. More importantly, what they want to join is one of the largest companies in the domestic Internet field. A big platform equals higher stability. As well as broader development space, the immediate salary is nothing.
The other Sina employees looked at the team that was filled with indignation and sadness just now with great surprise. When they walked out now, they were already relaxed and full of spring breeze. No one knew what happened in this moment, but they could see It turned out that each of them was in a very good mood, and they were all talking and laughing when they left. The contrast between before and after was so great that it made people confused.
Sina took the initiative to cut off UC and ceded territory to Makino Technology to pay compensation. The UC industry was completely dead in the mother's womb. Sina wasted so much effort and the product was aborted before it even came out. And their This move also spread throughout the industry as quickly as possible. This time, no one in the industry accused Sina of being too cowardly, because it can be seen from Sina's plummeting stock price that Sina has nothing to do except compromise with Makino Technology. There is no other solution.
But for Sina, this is also the way to survive when they have no choice but to cut off the gecko's tail. Although they are distressed, Sina's senior management understands that leaving green mountains without fear of running out of firewood.
Seeing that Sina had taken the initiative to make concessions, Li Mu, who was in a good mood, decided to express it appropriately.
So, at six o'clock in the afternoon that day, he asked Kong Lingyu to unblock Sina keywords and links in YY products. The blocking logic that was hailed as the cheapest and most unsolvable in the industry finally stopped for the time being, but no one knew. What is the next keyword that is lucky enough to enjoy this shielding treatment
Although the keyword blocking has been lifted, Sina's previous navigation link on YY123 has still not been restored. After all, the nature of YY123 is different from blocking Sina within YY products. The latter is Li Mu's punishment for Sina. Since Sina took the initiative to show goodwill, he naturally wanted to Cancel the punishment, but the former is the resource of Makino Technology, and resources cannot be given casually. Li Mu wants to send a signal to the industry, so that people who have looked down on navigation websites in the past will take a look. Let’s take a look at how influential the traffic overlords are, so that they can correct their perceptions and attitudes.
When Sina executives found out that Makino Technology's products, led by YY, had lifted the blockade on Sina and its domain names, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The previous market reaction was so lack of confidence. On the one hand, Sina's traffic dropped sharply, and on the other hand, Sina's traffic dropped sharply. On the one hand, it is also because they have annoyed a powerful opponent like Makino Technology. Now that Makino Technology has lifted the blockade, it can at least send a signal to the outside world: Makino Technology is no longer targeting Sina, and the issues between the two parties have been resolved.
Sure enough, Makino Technology's move was reflected in Sina's stock price when Nasdaq opened at 9:30. Sina's stock price opened high at $1.28, then slowly moved higher, reaching a price of $1.38 at the close. It almost reached the threshold of US$1.40, but even so, for Sina, it was like the rope that was tightly strangling its neck was finally loosened a little. Although it could not breathe as smoothly and move as freely as before, at least it could Take a breath first.
After breathing a sigh of relief, the next thing to solve is the problem of YY123. The role of YY123 is now very obvious, and people in the industry have a new understanding of it, and YY123 accounts for almost 95% of the navigation websites. Market share, so Sina must find a way to regain the traffic of YY123. If Li Mu is not willing to give it, then he can only spend money to buy it...
