giants of the era

Chapter 34 I'd rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow

Li Zetian laughed, the two are actually colleagues, what a coincidence!

"Wozniak, Zhang Han joined our development project, are you okay?" Li Zetian turned to look at Wozniak and asked.

"No problem, Kevin Zhang's technique is very strong!"

Li Zetian nodded, and Wozniak recognized Zhang Han's technology, which means that Zhang Han's technical level is indeed very good!

Immediately, Li Zetian asked Zhang Han: "Zhang Han, are you willing to join? I can give you a salary of 20 dollars per hour!"

"Of course I would!"

"Okay, but according to the procedure, you must first sign the non-disclosure agreement!"

"no problem!"

Afterwards, Zhang Han first signed a confidentiality agreement, and then signed a temporary employment contract with Li Zetian.

After receiving the confidentiality agreement and contract, Li Zetian said, "Now, let me introduce to you the project we are currently researching and the development progress!"

Li Zetian immediately began to introduce Zhang Hao.

Zhang Han, like Wozniak, was deeply shocked!

"Now, our development progress is less than one-tenth. As far as I know, we still have a competitor! Therefore, we must speed up!!!" Li Zetian said at the end with a serious tone.

Of course, Li Zetian hoped that the two of them would resign from Hewlett-Packard and become full-time employees of Apple.It's just that he mentioned it to Wozniak many times, but he still couldn't talk to him.

"Look at Zhang Hao's level. If he is also a technical expert, I would advise him to join Apple!" Li Zetian said secretly.

At this time, Li Zetian began to assign some very difficult tasks to Zhang Hao, intending to test his skills.

Apple only needs elite talents to join! ! !

"You guys are busy first, I'll call and order three takeaways!"

Li Zetian ate takeaway every day during this period, 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 was with him, and the delicious food she cooked!
Li Zetian shook his head, he couldn't think about it, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't eat the takeaway.

Which entrepreneur didn't come here after enduring loneliness and suffering, and only then can he be a master! ! !

The life of an orphan in the previous life honed Li Zetian's will. After calling and ordering takeaway, he devoted himself to work again.

……

Zhang Hao is a top student in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University. He met Tian Shuai at the Chinese Club of Stanford University and later became friends.

After a few days of testing, Zhang Hao's level is indeed very good!
There is a saying that "technical industry has specialization", and Wozniak is not an all-round engineer. Zhang Hao's technical level in power supply, imaging, etc. is far superior to him. The two can complement each other!
With the addition of Zhang Han, the development speed of the entire project is 40% faster than before.

At this time, Li Zetian moved to poach Zhang Han to Apple.

"Zhang Han, come out and chat!"

"Mr. Li, what's the matter?"

"Have you ever thought about switching from Hewlett-Packard to Apple?" Li Zetian asked him in a very formal and solemn tone.

Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Have you thought about it..."

"Since you have thought about it, why not put it into action directly? If you can switch jobs, I will also pay you the salary of 20 US dollars per hour. In addition, as long as you do well in the company, I can also promise you 3% options!!!”

Share options are shares that do not exist yet, but can only be obtained if the conditions agreed by both parties are met within a certain period of time.If the conditions are not met, the shares cannot be acquired.It generally appears in the incentive mechanism of shareholders for management.

Li Zetian felt that the way of directly donating shares is not as good as the option incentive mechanism. After some people get the shares, they don’t have the mood to work. They thought, I got the shares anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I work hard or not...

Apple's technology department needs a leader. Zhang Hao's potential is worth cultivating, and as a veteran of the company, 3% of the shares are actually considered low.However, Li Zetian knows how great the future development potential of Apple is, so he can't give too many 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 Han a high salary of 20 US dollars per hour. If he worked 1 hours a day, it would be 8 US dollars a day, and 160 US dollars a year. This era is simply a sky-high price! ! !
Frankly speaking, Zhang Hao is really tempted at this moment!
With a sky-high salary and 3% options, even if Apple can’t develop and the shares are worthless, at least he gets a sky-high salary, which is much more than Hewlett-Packard!In addition, he thinks that the Apple-[-] model personal computer that the three of them are working on is simply amazing. If there is such a computer on the market, he will definitely buy one without hesitation!He is like this, and everyone else should be too.Therefore, he is very optimistic about the future development of Apple!
"Mr.li, I need to think about it!" Zhang Hao said after thinking about it.

"No problem at all!"

Li Zetian nodded with a smile, but Zhang Hao's heart-wrenching expression had given Li Zetian full confidence!
Early the next morning, when it was still daylight, Zhang Hao called Li Zetian and said, "Mr.li, I have decided!!!"

Li Zetian narrowed his pupils slightly, and asked, "What to decide?"

"I decided to jump ship from HP to Apple!"

"Very good, Zhang Han, I can assure you that this is definitely the most correct choice you have made in your life!!!"

"I think so, Mr. Li."

After the call, Li Zetian laughed happily, and a general officially joined Apple.

……

In the morning, Zhang Han submitted his resignation.

Wozniak, as his colleague, received the news quickly.

He found Zhang Hao and asked in surprise: "Kevin, are you crazy? Or, are you confused by Chronos' words? You actually gave up your job as an HP engineer!"

Zhang Han shook his head and said: "No, Steve, my mind is the clearest at the moment. I have made this decision after careful consideration. I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen! HP is too big, the enterprise The internal bureaucracy is serious, and many real talents cannot be 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 in obscurity, or Willing to create an epoch-making product at Apple?!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Hao turned and left, and walked out of Hewlett-Packard Company!
