Wall Street Legend

Equity awards are a subject that all American bosses need to learn.

Too many points will only make employees satisfied with the status quo, which will lead to an inflated mentality, resulting in negative consequences such as inactivity or job-hopping.

If the points are too small, it will not have the effect of stimulating them to continue working hard. Instead, it will make them feel that being a boss is stingy and not worthy of allowing them to continue to work hard for the development of the company, which will also have a negative effect.

Ye Dongqing plans to let the company's middle-level backbones receive about 200,000 US dollars, which is roughly equivalent to more than two years of their salary. A large part of the year-end bonus at the end of the year can be saved, and then they can be tied up with houses.

In this way, there will be no major problems in at least five years, and there will definitely be clear provisions in the contract. They are happy, and Ye Dongqing, the boss, is also relieved.

Silicon Valley major companies have signed an anti-poaching alliance agreement, but many small and medium-sized companies have not joined. As giant companies in many Internet fields, there are many startup bosses who are eyeing the talents under them, and they are willing to do so. It is necessary to pay a high price in order to obtain talents to join, so as to win people's hearts.

Ye Dongqing was satisfied with the reaction of the people at the scene. He suddenly got a large amount of money. Of course, the employees were very happy.

Ye Dongqing struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Whether it's Skype or you, or employees of my other companies, you should all know that I am not a stingy boss, and I am happy to share my harvest with you!

As long as you work hard, you will have houses, stocks, and dividends at the end of the year. I told the first batch of employees of Tamsui Investment Group back then that everyone could become a millionaire and live a prosperous life. When you are forty, you can retire and enjoy life. Similar promises are equally valid for most of you. As long as you work hard and give 120% of your energy, the company's appreciation system will make you more successful than you are now! ! "

"Thank you boss!"

"Wow! I don't know how to praise you anymore!"

"I will definitely work hard! Don't worry, boss!"

Stimulated by the wealth, everyone on the scene seemed to have been given blood. Ye Dongqing didn't have much contact with this group of employees. He left the next matter to the CEO to handle, and took the lead in applauding: "Now let Deville Sir, come and say a few words to everyone, welcome."

Deville, who was standing in the crowd, was stunned. Just now he was calculating how much equity reward he could get.

According to the convention, the more you work, the more you get, and the higher the position, the more you get. As the second-in-command besides the major shareholder, Ye Dongqing, he felt that 10 million US dollars was probably available. After all, the Whatsapp program was worthless when it was first founded, and Now it has become an industry giant with such a high valuation.

With a burning heart, a smile on his face and a round of applause... he imitated Ye Dongqing and stood on the table.

He waved his hand and said: "When you were talking about equity rewards before, I said that this day will definitely come. Some people choose to leave midway, some people give up their opportunities, choose to live an easy but poor life, and are unwilling to accompany Let’s fight together!

What now! ? You are the winners and have been with the company until today! We have a huge user base and provide the most advanced network communication technology to netizens around the world. I believe that we will be more successful in the future! Tell me loudly, who is willing to accompany us to New York and ring the NASDAQ listing bell? ! "

Hearing these words, even Ye Dongqing couldn't help but want to applaud.

When it comes to the skill of eliciting resonance during speeches, he thinks he is not as good as the Deville in front of him. He just does it when he gets on stage, without even using a script, and the effect seems to be pretty good...

"You really should have told me this beforehand."

Sitting in the office, Deville was busy making coffee for Ye Dongqing. He brewed it with his own hands, poured the water into the filter containing the coffee powder, and smelled the charming coffee smell. It was a pleasure.

The small office is not big, certainly not as big as Ye Dongqing's anyway. The layout is quite neat and comfortable. From the neatly arranged desk with various things, you can probably know what kind of character Deville is.

He can be a good person, but when selecting company executives, Ye Dongqing prefers workaholics who are both decisive and smart, preferably those with extremely high IQs. It doesn't matter what their emotional intelligence is, since there is no need for supervisors to interact with employees anyway. friend.

If the relationship between superiors and subordinates is too good, he will start to worry about being poached. Ordinary employees will leave as soon as they leave, and most of them can find suitable replacements. However, if the company director chooses to leave and start a business, the harm will be even greater.

Cross your legs.

Ye Dongqing leaned forward, took the coffee cup and thanked him, then said: "I also suddenly thought about listing, and I haven't contacted the Nasdaq stock exchange, nor have I contacted brokers or investment banks for help. There are no plans for road shows or anything like that.

You can release some news to the outside world. I believe they will come to you and give you the most favorable terms. I will ask someone to help you in this regard. In June, an Internet company I invested in China also went public. "

"Tencent, right? I've learned about it. It's a very good company."

Mr. Deville unbuttoned his suit, sat and looked at Ye Dongqing, and finally asked the question he wanted to know most: "So, have the equity awards been arranged? I didn't receive any notice."

Ye Dongqing looked at him for a moment and guessed what this guy was thinking. He didn't hide anything and told him: "The value of your equity dividend must be more than five million US dollars. After the listing, I will still be the major shareholder. Customize a generous option reward plan for you. With the increase in the number of Internet users around the world, the scale of this company will definitely be larger than it is now, so you can’t relax just because it is listed. I remember that you have no experience in managing listed companies, right? , you can learn a lot from Facebook’s executives in this regard.”

Five million dollars.

Ordinary middle-class white-collar workers in the United States will never earn so much money in their lifetime. It is almost considered an original share. Judging from the upward trend of Whatsapp, it is likely to take a few steps forward in the future. It is considered a relatively good salary, not to mention that there will be more in the future. Being able to get a villa as a reward is already certain.

It was almost the same as Mr. Dwyer's own expected figure. After hearing this, he couldn't hide the smile on his face and flattered him: "Boss, you have the greatest credit for the company's development. Don't worry, even if it's for the option reward, I will give it to you." I will try my best to do better.”

"Don't tell me, do it for me later.

Now that this place is listed, someone from Facebook will definitely come to me. Keep the equity reward for you secret for now. I will have someone draw up a plan as soon as possible. Remember to send it to the mailboxes of all employees for me..."
