My rebirth is different

Chapter 482

"I'm convinced! Mr. Fei is really...a man of high art and courage!"

Cai Congxin shook his head and smiled wryly, holding out his thumb.

"Then... isn't Mr. Cai not interested? Come and join me and do something great!" Yu Wenfei leaned forward, staring into Cai Congxin's eyes and said.

Now, Cai Congxin has to admit that he is a little moved.

That night, after receiving a call from a headhunting consultant, he told his wife that he might have to live in another place.

That's just a possibility, he didn't decide to go to Facebook, and he couldn't make a decision so easily.

He has done a good job in Ali, has shares and status, and Ali's prospects look good. Why give up everything you already have and go to a strange company.

But Cai Congxin is Cai Congxin, just like he gave up his lucrative foreign investment bank job a few years ago and resolutely came to Hangzhou to get the 500 yuan salary from Ali.

Facebook and Yu Wenfei's "legend" attracted him, and he had a faint feeling that after meeting Yu Wenfei, his life might change again, so he said that to his wife.

After Facebook is about to receive a huge amount of venture capital and Yu Wenfei has promised future performance, it seems that the future of Facebook is much brighter than that of Ali.

From the chief financial officer of Ali to the CEO of Facebook, this is indeed a good choice.

Then, there is only one problem...

"Mr. Fei, if I go to Facebook, what can I gain? Compared with what I will lose in Ali." Cai Congxin asked meaningfully.

Regarding this question, Yu Wenfei had been prepared for a long time, he turned his head to signal, and Hu Jingjing immediately took out a folder from the briefcase he was carrying, and handed it to Cai Congxin.

Cai Congxin could roughly guess what was inside, but he didn't know the specific conditions.

He took out a tissue from his pocket and carefully wiped the table in front of him clean, then put the folder on the table and opened it to read.

This document is what Yu Wenfei will pay for digging Cai Congxin, or a promise.

If Cai Congxin goes to Facebook, he will be the CEO, that is, the CEO.The right to speak in the company is second only to the chairman of the board of directors, that is, Yu Wenfei.

He is in charge of the overall work of Facebook, and has the right to appoint, remove and hire all positions below the vice president.

This is just a normal condition, Cai Congxin is more concerned about other aspects.

E.g……

Equity incentives!
In order to make up for Cai Congxin’s possible loss of equity after resigning from Ali, Facebook will provide corresponding share incentives. You can get 5.00% of the shares in the first year of employment. After three years of employment, if you can successfully bring the company to the market, and Achieve the expected goal, you can get up to [-]% of the shares!

As for the salary, Yu Wenfei is obviously not as stingy as the old horse, and directly offered a salary that is enough to match this position, with an annual salary of 800 million!
This has surpassed the salary level of Cai Congxin when he was working in an investment bank. Among professional managers in China, it is definitely the first rank.

Finally, there is a very considerate supplementary clause. If Cai Congxin’s already held Ali shares are more difficult to deal with, then Yu Wenfei can personally pay to buy his part of the shares, and the valuation will be calculated according to the current Ali’s valuation. .

This is not taking advantage of Cai Congxin. The Internet winter has just passed, and many companies want to raise funds and transfer shares, but no one is willing to take over.

Even Ali was in the transition stage at that time, and it was not easy for Cai Congxin to sell the shares in his hands at a good price.

…………

After reading it, Cai Congxin closed the file and fell into thought.

He is in Ali, and now holds [-]% of the shares, which is not a low amount. You must know that Ali has a partnership system, and there are eighteen partners alone.In addition, two rounds of financing have been raised, and Goldman Sachs, the earliest Softbank, also holds a large number of shares.

Two percent, among the individual shareholders, is second only to Lao Ma, and can be regarded as the second largest individual shareholder.

According to the contract he signed with Ali, he will attract investment in the future and operate the company until it goes public. At each stage, he can get another part of the shares.

In fact, a secret that most people don’t know is that Cai Congxin had more shares than Lao Ma when Alibaba went public!
According to Ali's public information, Lao Ma holds 7.4% of the shares, and Cai Congxin's personal shares are 3.6%. It seems that Lao Ma's shares are twice his.

But few people know that there is a word called "STOCKPOOL", which is translated into Chinese as "equity concentration office"!
The 7.4% shares held by Lao Ma are actually STOKPOOL, the "Eighteen Arhats" who started their business at the beginning, and the shares held by those people are all linked to Lao Ma's name!
That's why Lao Ma has so many shares in his hands, but in fact, he doesn't own them alone.

If only personal shares are counted, Cai Congxin should surpass him.

Of course, that is also the equity incentive that Cai Congxin obtained after helping Alila make a round of big investments. Now he is sitting opposite Yu Wenfei, and his shares are not as many as the old horse.

This is a person who is extremely smart, and also a person with incomparably clever wrists, and also a person full of ambitions!
On the surface, he and Lao Ma can be regarded as "infatuated with each other", working together to make Ali flourish, but in private, the relationship between the two may not be as harmonious as outsiders see.

…………

Cai Congxin raised his head and looked into Yu Wenfei's eyes, trying to find some answers from there.

Yu Wenfei looked at him calmly with a smile on his face.

"I, accept Mr. Fei's invitation!" Cai Congxin said word by word.

The smile on Yu Wenfei's face became brighter, and he picked up the teacup, "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" Cai Congxin also smiled, and also picked up the teacup, and lightly clinked glasses with Yu Wenfei.

Among smart people, there are some things that don't need to be pointed out, and they all understand.

The conditions given by Yu Wenfei were not given to Cai Congxin verbally, but given to him in a very formal document, which already represents an attitude.

That is, I am sincerely inviting you.

However, the conditions are like this, there is no room for bargaining!

Similarly, Cai Congxin understood Yu Wenfei's meaning and attitude. After consideration, he thought he could accept it, so he directly expressed his attitude without saying any nonsense.

This time, it was the second major decision in his life!

The first time was to choose to go to Ali.

Cai Congxin believes that this choice will bring him a brighter future.

In his bones, he is also an adventurous person...

…………

"What! You're resigning! Are you crazy!"

In the headquarters of Ali, Lao Ma looked at the well-mannered man in front of him with a face full of shock.

"Yes, Mr. Ma, after careful consideration, I have made a difficult decision. This decision is definitely not easy for me, but I have to do it again, because I am a person who always likes to challenge higher It’s difficult, and I yearn for a bigger stage. Facebook’s Fei Zong invited me to be Facebook’s CEO.”

Cai Congxin said frankly that he did not hide anything.

He signed a non-compete agreement, but he is a legal expert himself, so how could he restrict himself too much on that clause.

Therefore, his non-competition agreement is limited to the e-commerce industry. The agreement stipulates that if he leaves Ali halfway, he will not be allowed to engage in the e-commerce industry within two years.

Coincidentally, Facebook, including Star Technology, Facebook's parent company, has nothing to do with e-commerce, and naturally it will not trigger the non-compete clause.

"Then...then you're gone, what about Ali?"

The always confident old horse was a little panicked. Cai Congxin is really important to Ali!
"Mr. Ma, now Ali is on the right track and the company's foundation has been laid. If I leave, you can also hire a professional enough chief financial officer. It will have little impact." Cai Congxin said calmly.

"You don't want any stock incentives? Mr. Cai, you should stop thinking about it seriously. My old horse treats you well." Mr. Ma tried to persuade him.

"Mr. Ma, we have known each other for so long, and you know my character. I will definitely do what I want to do. Just like when I left IAB and joined Ali. Even if I went to Facebook, everyone is the same. We are in the same circle, maybe we will help each other in the future." Cai Congxin said with a smile.

Seeing that he had made up his mind to go, Lao Ma let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.

He knew in his heart that compared to Facebook, Ali is not enough to watch now.

The current Ali is not the A in the BAT more than ten years later. Let alone the world, just domestically, a lot of websites seem to be much better than Ali.

What Sina, Sohu, Netease, China.com, Yahoo China, Tencent, Shanda, etc., etc...

Just pick one out, it will be better than Ali.

Facebook is an upstart in the domestic Internet. In just half a year, it has already entered the first echelon.

It is said that the valuation of this company is several billion U.S. dollars, which makes Lao Ma envious.

People go to high places, and water flows to low places. Now Cai Congxin has got a better opportunity. Compared with the CEO of Facebook and the CFO of Ali, which one is better, fools know how to choose.

What's more, since the position of CEO was given over there, the corresponding equity incentives must be indispensable!
When Ali will be listed on the market is still far away.

But Facebook, if it maintains this pace of development, its listing is really not far away.

Maybe next year, or the year after the next at the latest, it will be able to go public in the United States.

If I were Cai Congxin, I might make the same choice...

Thinking of this, the old horse is also calm, and he can't keep what he should go, so let nature take its course.

"Okay then, Mr. Cai, I wish you smooth sailing! When you are free, come back often."

He stood up and held out his palm, smiling.

Cai Congxin also stretched out his right hand calmly, holding both hands tightly together.

　Continue to ask for a monthly ticket at three o'clock.
