At this time, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, some things are so annoying. If Chen Tong resigned a few days earlier, he would definitely invite him again and would still be willing to give him the position of editor-in-chief of YY.com, but he He has been actively showing his stupid loyalty to Sina, and has gradually lost his patience and interest.
It just so happened that Wang Nan took over the entire work of YY Network after it went online, and did a very good job. This also made Li Mu finally decide to give him the position of editor-in-chief. However, Chen Tong resigned within a few days. , and for Li Mu, it was impossible for him to break his promise to Wang Nan, an employee who had already proven his ability with him, so he knew very clearly that even if Chen Tong was willing to join Makino Technology, YY Network would not have much to do with him .
In terms of future, Chen Tong's development space for the position of chief editor of Sina.com may not even be one-fifth of that of chief editor of YY.com. If Chen Tong is more flexible, coming to YY.com is actually equivalent to taking a step forward. A new level, but he missed the opportunity, and now he is forced to resign and leave Sina. It is really a heavy loss.
Brother Liu also felt sorry for Chen Tong. If he left Sina just like this, his next development would be really not optimistic. At present, except for YY.com, other portals have been reduced to second-tier. Everyone is now facing the same situation. Who will give Chen Tong a platform and opportunity to prove his ability? If Makino Technology is unwilling to accept him, then his career will start to go downhill.
Facing Senior Brother Liu's question, Li Mu sighed with emotion and said: "The candidate for the editor-in-chief of YY.com has been decided. Even if Lao Chen wants to come in now, he has to renegotiate the position and salary. I think someone like him, if I invite If he becomes the deputy editor-in-chief of YY.com, he will definitely not agree."
Senior Brother Liu laughed dryly: "If he could realize the current situation, he might agree."
Li Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, I won't consider him in terms of YY.com. Let Wang Nan continue at the current pace. If he does well, keep using him. If Lao Chen wants to come in now , Makino Technology will start a new project in the near future, and we can ask him to come over and be a project manager, but everything will start from scratch."
Senior Brother Liu did not ask Li Mu what his new project was. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will talk to him after he leaves Sina. If he is interested, I will ask him to come to you directly."
What Li Mu can leave Chen Tong to do now is the new product blog. If he is interested in joining Makino Technology, Li Mu is going to set up a blog project team to let Chen Tong start from blogging and gradually lay the foundation for Weibo in the future. In the future, his intelligent positioning will be the line from blog to Weibo. If it is done well, it will become a big cake with a valuation of tens of billions of dollars in the future.
Chen Tong's situation at this time is indeed a bit miserable. His status in Sina is closely related to Sina. He is not a real senior executive. If strictly classified, he does not even belong to the managerial staff, but to the professional and technical staff. This kind of people are the first group to be cut off when the company's business is adjusted.
If Chen Tong could better maintain multi-party relationships within the company, even if the business is adjusted, such key employees would have the opportunity to transfer internally. However, he offended many people in the company, so that at this time the management Everyone treated him coldly, and he was suddenly marginalized. The arrogant cultural man had no intention of continuing to be content at this time, so he directly handed in his resignation letter.
When the senior management said they would think about it, they had actually already made the decision to let him leave. Chen Tong also knew clearly what the leader's intention was, so directly agreeing would be too callous, and delaying it for ten and a half months would make him soften in order to save face. After that, he would reluctantly approve his request in a hypocritical manner, so today he simply went directly to the CEO's office, sat down in front of the CEO, and said, "Please approve my resignation report."
The CEO pretended to persuade: "Old Chen, you are the veteran of the company, and you are also a hero of the company. If you want to resign, you have to give the company some time to think about it, right?"
Chen Tong understood the other party's thoughts and said, "If you don't approve it, I will take back the report."
As soon as Chen Tong said these words, the CEO's face turned green. He really refused to step down! If this really makes him retract his resignation report, it would be really fatal if he refuses to leave because of his vindictiveness with the senior management.
Seeing that Chen Tong had a firm face and was not joking at all, the CEO gritted his teeth, stretched out a hand, and said, "Okay, Old Chen, let's work together and I wish you a bright future."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Tong let out a sigh of relief. He seemed to feel relieved, but he felt sad and uncomfortable in his heart.
It has not been easy to start a business following the platform, but now that he is in this situation, he naturally cannot bear it.
The CEO took out the resignation report submitted by Chen Tong before, signed his name on it, and stamped his signature. Then he said to Chen Tong: "You are an old employee. I will ask the human resources to do an N+1 for you." Compensation."
The so-called N+1 compensation is only given when the company fires an employee. If the monthly salary is 10,000, and the company has worked for three years, the company will give a total of 3+1, which is four months, as compensation to the company when the employee is fired. Normally speaking, if Chen Tong resigned by himself, the company would at best settle the salary and equity, and there would be no N+1 compensation. The CEO said this, feeling somewhat guilty towards Chen Tong.
But Chen Tong was not happy anymore. He felt that he was resigning on his own initiative. What kind of deal would it be to take Sina's N+1? If this spreads out, others will definitely think that he was fired from the company. He cannot bear this kind of humiliation.
So Chen Tong said expressionlessly: "N+1 is not necessary, just follow the formal process."
The CEO looked at him for a moment, and when he saw his insistence, he nodded slightly: "Okay, then I will ask the manpower to come over and take you to complete the procedures."
…
Li Mu and Senior Brother Liu discussed the entire logistics plan. Senior Brother Liu decided to start immediately tomorrow, take over the logistics company, quickly transfer the car to the south, prepare for the Brand Day, and fly to Shanghai and Guangdong. Save, go talk to these key people with an offer of double salary. If the negotiation is successful, the personnel framework of the logistics system will basically be established. Once the money comes, it can be immediately transformed into an actual coverage network.
Li Mu chatted with him for a day and cleared all the key links. As soon as he said he was leaving, Senior Brother Liu received a call from Chen Tong. After answering the phone, Chen Tong's first words were: "Haodong, there is something going on tonight. Empty?"
Liu Edong asked: "Senior Brother Chen, what's the matter?"
Chen Tong smiled: "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you to come out for a meal and a drink. I resigned from Sina."
"Resigned?" Liu Edong asked in surprise: "Why so soon?"
Chen Tong smiled and said: "I strongly requested it. I didn't want to give those people a chance to be hypocrites, so I just left as soon as possible." After saying that, Chen Tong asked again: "Are you free tonight?"
Liu Edong hesitated for a moment, then hummed and said, "What time is it tonight?"
Chen Tong said: "At half past six, let's go back to eat near the National People's Congress. There is a barbecue restaurant in the alley next to it. It tastes good. This restaurant was there when we were in school."
Liu Edong smiled and said: "I know the restaurant you are talking about, Northeast Barbecue, right? Let's meet there at six-thirty!"
The two made an appointment, and Liu Edong hung up the phone and said to Li Mu: "Old Chen resigned very quickly. It is said that he asked for it..."
Li Mu nodded: "It's understandable."
Liu Edong asked: "Would you like to go together tonight? I just want to talk to him about Makino Technology."
"I won't go." Li Mu curled his lips and said, "He is an intellectual and has a temper. I am not an intellectual and I also have a temper. Why should I rush to invite him at this time?"
Liu Edong smiled and said, "Isn't this a special situation? I need comfort."
"Come on." Li Mu said, "You are more than ten years older than me, and you still need my comfort? I don't have that spare time. It's time for me to take the air."
Liu Edong knew that Li Mu had some complaints against Chen Tong in his heart. Although he didn't say he had a grudge, he was somewhat temperamental, so he stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Let's do this. I'll take a sidestep first and see what he means." .”
With that said, Liu Edong asked Li Mu: "Which new business do you want him to do? Introduce it to me, and I will talk to him and ask him if he is interested."
Li Mu said with a straight face, "I won't tell you. If he's happy, let him contact me. If he's not happy, forget it. Do you still want to pick at this time?"
Liu Edong smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore. I'll talk to him in the evening."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Take the time to keep an eye on the best Internet technology players in the country. Fang Xudong has too many things at hand right now. He leads several project teams by himself, and his energy is limited. From now on, I have to focus all his energy on the core." As the solutions come up, especially the current logistics management system, it would be best if Taobao has a skilled person in charge in the future.”
Liu Edong asked: "Fang Xudong used to work for Google, right?"
Li Mu hummed: "Yes."
Liu Qiangdong said: "How about letting him contact his former colleagues at Google and try to dig out a few master-level technical personnel from Google?"
Li Mu said: "It's OK, but it will definitely be very difficult to poach Google people. First of all, you can't poach those foreign employees. They lack understanding of China's Internet and will definitely not be interested. Even if you poach Chinese or Chinese people in Google, , across the ocean, specific communication and conversation are problematic, and the cycle is probably relatively long. You can talk to Fang Xudong about this matter, but for now I think you should find a suitable person to take care of Taobao first."
Liu Edong thought for a while and said: "I have a few friends in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, one of whom has been doing technical work. Last time I went to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to talk to people from STO, I didn't have time to meet him. How about I go this time?" Let’s make an appointment in Shanghai to have a chat.”
Li Mu nodded. When he thought of the Shanghai market, Wei Lan, the Shanghai beauty, appeared in his mind inexplicably. She was the original owner of his villa. She seemed to have encountered some troubles the last time they met. I wonder if she can get through the difficulties now...
