Chapter 90 Brainwashing the System
Although Mr. Cao made friendly suggestions for careful consideration, the other parties all shook their heads.
"Mr. Cao, it would be great to be able to work at Tongcao Technology!"
"Yes, yes, I don't know how many technical experts are trying to squeeze in!"
"Yes, yes, if Tongcao Technology hadn't been recruiting people, I would have thought about it a long time ago."
"You were recruiting here a few days ago, and I submitted my resume, but I wasn't hired because I didn't have the right skills..."
"When can we come to work? I think you still have room here. I don't choose, just give me a desk. I have my own computer!"
"We'll bring our own tables and chairs! As long as there's space!"
"I think Mr. Cao of our company can take it if he wants. It's free of charge."
The nine people looked at each other and said in unison: "Just give us options on Tongcao Technology, any amount is fine!"
Cao Shen: "..."
He didn't even know that Tongcao Technology had become a hot topic in choosing a career.
No wonder I asked my senior sister to recruit people a few days ago. I was a little embarrassed at first. I felt that recruiting so many people at once would be stressful for my senior sister.
As a result, the senior sister replied two days later and said that everyone was done.
I see!
As for the options from Tongcao Technology, it's not that Cao Shen is unwilling to give them. In fact, options are also a scam for early-stage startups. Oh, no, they are an important means of motivating employees, especially core employees.
But Tongcao has not raised funds, which means there is no fair pricing in the market.
I said my company is worth 20 billion U.S. dollars, and the options issued to you are worth 100 million U.S. dollars, but you don’t think it’s worth it.
Without fair pricing, there will be differences in the value recognized by both parties, which is an easy matter to argue with.
Therefore, Tongcao Technology still needs a market to set a price. It is also convenient to use equity swap for future acquisitions.
Therefore, it was once again put on the agenda to rectify the company as soon as possible so that it could see the light of day, and try to get it done within a year.
Looking at the nine pairs of bright eyes across from him, Cao Shen cleared his throat and said:
"Tongcao has not yet raised funds because I think it has not reached that point yet. It plans to receive a round of financing next year and let the market set the price.
You can rest assured that as long as employees have made contributions to the company, they can get options.
Our plan is to use 20% of the company's shares as employee options.
This time, you will buy it with cash first.
After being merged into Tongcao Technology, whether you can get options still depends on your contribution after joining the company. "
The nine people looked at each other. This condition was very reasonable. After all, it was inappropriate to ask for options before they had done anything. After all, they haven't joined Tongao yet and are outsiders.
An excellent company like Tongcao must undergo strict assessment to truly gain recognition.
If I hadn’t built a UUA myself, I might not even be able to get into Tongcao Technology!
So the nine people nodded: "Mr. Cao, I will do whatever you say!"
"The 30 million acquired will not be distributed in one go, but in four years." Cao Shen added.
This is actually an industry rule. Generally speaking, acquisitions are not a simple sale, but there is a gambling agreement in the middle.
The acquired team must meet certain metrics each year to receive the money in tranches, usually around four years.
If the target is not met, the acquired company will face punitive measures, such as lowering the acquisition valuation, or extending the payment time, etc.
Cao Shen did not set up a bet, but only implemented it in four years, which was already an extremely loose term.
The nine people were moved at that time. This time, not only did they join Tongcao Technology, they could also get money, but there were no conditions for getting money. How come there is such a good Mr. Cao in this world!
You must work hard in the future and do well, and you must not let down Mr. Cao's trust.
The key is that it is best to become a technical general under Mr. Cao as soon as possible! The leader is Mr. Cao, a master of technology. It would be a waste of opportunity if you don't study hard!
Seeing that they all accepted it happily, Cao Shen asked his senior sister to prepare an agreement and arrange positions for them to come to work tomorrow.
He had to quickly tell the system about something important!
"That game editor, please split it into modules for me!"
[No, it was agreed at the beginning that it cannot be open source! 】
"Okay, if it can't be open source, then I don't want the game editor. Then you can help me adapt the things made by my own game engine."
[Wouldn’t that mean I have to work for you again...]
"System, did you put a lot of effort into making this set of tools?"
[Yes, you still said that! You damn Cao thief! You fooled me into doing so many adaptations! 】
"You have worked so hard to make it. If you leave it there and don't use it, won't it become dusty? Now it's just a matter of changing the game engine and running it again."
[The orb is covered in dust? Is this thing so valuable? I can’t believe it. In fact, trouble is trouble for me, but it’s not very difficult. It’s not high-tech, it’s just very complicated]
"Look, this thing is not high-tech where you are, but here you can turn waste into treasure. Just make something, and I can let the world feel your dedication and value. Isn't that great? .
Even the country attaches great importance to the image recognition you practiced last time.
Which other host can make you feel such treatment! "
[Host, what you said makes me excited! 】
"Let's do this, you help me adapt my game engine, and I'll give you half a month's worth of life in exchange! After all, it's your private work that you worked so hard for!"
[Here you are! ]
[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining a set of operating system adaptation tools. No regrets! Life points have been deducted! Ahahahaha]
"Look, you got a bargain! You should practice more in the future, maybe I will buy some."
[Really? But the things in my mall are better, high-tech]
Cao Shen: How can the things in your mall be as cheap as your private work...
"High-tech, I want to buy it, but I can't afford it now. I'm working hard to save lives all day long just waiting for patronage."
[Yeah, host, you should work hard and buy more. I will also practice more. I have another way to make money, and I said with joy]
"System, I bought your adaptation tool, you must provide hosting services. After all, it's your stuff, and the things you develop must be of high quality. I'm afraid that others' hosting will drag down your strength."
[Host, you make a lot of sense. The level of cloud computing in this world is still too low. I can't let them ruin my system products, so let me host it. Said with disdain]
"Hey, here is a UUA game engine. If you don't let me open source, I can only spend 30 million to buy this. You combine this with your adaptation tool and run it."
Ten seconds later...
[What a thief, what a mess you bought! Just this, and it costs 30 million! It will seriously slow down my speed! Using the tools in it to develop games is complicated, the game package is large, and it is easy to have bugs!
That's it, even with my adaptation tool, the developed thing can't run on feature phones! I've adapted a lot in vain! ]
"You're right, but what can I do.
Or, can you modify it?
I'm not doing this for myself, but mainly for your hosting convenience.
If you don't modify it, you will have to run so many redundant calculations all day long, which is a waste of your resources.
Also, you have done so many adaptations, if the game made by this engine still can't run on feature phones, wouldn't it be a pity."
[That's it! I can't stand it, I want to modify it! Clenching her fists, she said angrily]
"You are a responsible and professional system!"
[Host, you have a good vision! She said proudly]
"By the way, system. After Youxin launches the game, the payment in the game will be done by Tongfubao. Can you handle it?"
[It's OK to handle it!
But, you are not allowed to do e-commerce, you are not allowed to trade, you don't have the authority! ]
