Li Zetian laughed, the two were actually colleagues, what a coincidence!
"Wozniak, Zhang Yan joined our development project, are you okay?" Li Zetian turned to look at Wozniak and asked.
"No problem, Kevin Zhang's skills are very strong!"
Li Zetian nodded, Wozniak recognized Zhang Yan's technology, which means that Zhang Yan's technical level is indeed very powerful!
Immediately, Li Zetian asked Zhang Yan, "Zhang Yan, are you willing to join? I can offer you an hourly wage of $20!"
"Of course I would!"
"Okay, but, according to the process, you must sign a non-disclosure agreement first!"
"no problem!"
Subsequently, Zhang Yan first signed a confidentiality agreement, and then signed a temporary employment labor contract with Li Zetian.
After receiving the non-disclosure agreement and contract, Li Zetian said, "Now, let me introduce to you the projects we are currently researching and the development progress!"
Li Zetian immediately began to introduce Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan, like Wozniak, was deeply shocked!
"Now, the progress of our development is less than one-tenth. As far as I know, we still have a competitor! So, we must speed up!!!" Li Zetian said at the end, his tone was very serious.
Of course, Li Zetian hoped that the two of them would best resign from HP and become full-time employees at Apple. However, he mentioned it to Wozniak many times, but he still couldn't tell him.
"Look at Zhang Yan's level. If he is also a technical expert, persuade him to join Apple!" Li Zetian said secretly.
At this time, Li Zetian began to assign some very difficult tasks to Zhang Yan, intending to test his skills.
Apple only needs elites to join! ! !
"You guys are busy first, I'll call and order three takeaways!"
During this period of time, Li Zetian ate takeaway every day, and he almost vomited. However, there is no way, the garage is not suitable as a kitchen, Li Zetian can't help but miss those days at Harvard University, Yu Jingqiu accompanied him, and the food she made!
Li Zetian shook his head, he couldn't think about it, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't eat takeout.
Which entrepreneur did not endure loneliness and loneliness and come here, only after suffering and suffering can become a superior person! ! !
The orphan life in the previous life honed Li Zetian's will. After calling for takeout, he devoted himself to work.
…
Zhang Yan is a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University. He met Tian Shuai at the Stanford University Chinese Club and later became friends.
After a few days of testing, Zhang Yan's level is really awesome!
There is a saying that "there is a specialization in the art industry", and Wozniak is not an all-round engineer. Zhang Yan's technical level in power supply, graphics, etc. is far stronger than his, and the two can complement each other!
With the addition of Zhang enthalpy, the development speed of the entire project is 40% faster than before.
At this time, Li Zetian moved to dig Zhang Yan into Apple.
"Zhang Yan, come out and talk!"
"Mr.li, what's the matter?"
"Have you ever thought about jumping from HP to Apple?" Li Zetian asked him in a very formal and solemn tone.
Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Have thought about it..."
"Since you have thought about it, why not put it into action? If you can change jobs, I will also pay you $20 per hour. In addition, as long as you do well in the company, I can also promise to give you 3%. Option!!!”
Share options are shares that do not exist yet, but can be obtained only when the conditions agreed upon by both parties are met within a certain period of time. If the conditions are not met, the shares cannot be obtained. It usually appears in the incentive mechanism of shareholders for management.
Li Zetian felt that the way of giving shares directly is far inferior to the option incentive mechanism. After some people get the shares, they don't want to work anymore, thinking, I already got the shares anyway, so it doesn't matter if I don't work hard...
Apple's technology department needs a leader. Zhang Yan's potential is worth cultivating, and as a veteran of the company, 3% of the shares are actually quite low. However, Li Zetian knows how big the future development potential of Apple is, so he can't give too much shares!
Li Zetian was worried that the other party felt that the options he gave him were too low, so in terms of salary, Li Zetian still offered Zhang Yan a high salary of $20 per hour. If he worked 8 hours a day, it would be $160 a day and $58,400 a year. This era is simply a sky-high price! ! !
Frankly speaking, Zhang Yan was really tempted at this moment!
There are both sky-high salary and 3% options. Even if Apple can't develop, the shares are worthless, at least he got sky-high salary, which is much more than that of Hewlett-Packard! In addition, he thinks that the Apple-l personal computer the three of them are working on is simply amazing, and if there is such a computer on the market, he will definitely buy one without hesitation! He is like that, and so should everyone else. Therefore, he is very optimistic about the future development of Apple!
"Mr.li, I have to think about it!" Zhang Yan thought for a while and said.
"No problem at all!"
Li Zetian smiled and nodded, but Zhang Yan's heart-warming expression had given Li Zetian full confidence!
Early the next morning, when the sky was still bright, Zhang Yan called Li Zetian and said, "Mr.li, I've decided!!!"
Li Zetian's pupils shrank slightly and asked, "What do you decide?"
"I decided to jump from HP to Apple!"
"Very good, Zhang Yan, I can assure you, this is definitely the best choice you have ever made in your life!!!"
"I think so, Mr.li."
After the call, Li Zetian laughed happily, and one of the generals officially joined Apple.
…
In the morning, Zhang Yan submitted his resignation.
Wozniak, his colleague, was quick to hear the news.
He found Zhang Yan and asked in surprise, "Kevin, are you crazy? Or are you dazed by Chronos' words? You actually gave up your job as an engineer at HP!"
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "No, Steve, my mind is the clearest at the moment. I have made this decision after careful consideration. I'd rather be the head of the chicken than the queen! Hewlett-Packard is too big. The internal bureaucracy is serious, and many real talents are not reused, such as you and me. In short, I have had enough and decided to resign! Are you willing to stay in HP and develop some mediocre garbage, or Willing to create an epoch-making product at Apple?!"
After speaking, Zhang Yan turned and left, walking out of Hewlett-Packard!
