stunned.
That's how many companies looking to poach engineers after Nortel Networks went bankrupt have behaved.
Because within half a day of Fairy Company's announcement, more than 200 engineers went to Mingxiang Holdings' North American laboratory by signing contracts and losing money, and this number is still increasing.
They soon learned about everything that happened on the forum, but they couldn't understand that such a seemingly idiotic poaching compensation contract had won the hearts of so many engineers!
Many engineers who went to Mingxiang Holdings' North American laboratories were paid significantly lower than what these companies promised, but they still went without hesitation. It's really unreasonable!
It's a pity, but when these companies were asked by engineers if they were willing to sign them in the same way, none of these companies agreed.
It's not that they are unwilling. According to the agreement between Nortel Networks and Fairy Company, the money is not much. An ordinary engineer only costs one or two hundred thousand US dollars, and a senior engineer only costs about five or six million US dollars. Compared with their abilities,
That said, it doesn't mean anything.
But the problem is that these companies are all listed companies. They cannot do things based on their own ideas, but everything must be done in accordance with rules and regulations.
People on the board of directors think that if recruitment can be done for free in two months, why should we spend millions and tens of millions more to poach employees and compensate them? Isn’t this just a matter of having enough to hold on?
So in the end, only the Fairy Company succeeded, and those kind-hearted engineers had no choice but to go to the Fairy Company.
For this reason, Gang Leader Qiao personally called Xiao Qi to scold him. He scolded him for thinking of crooked ideas and unfair competition all day long.
Xiao Qi sneered at this and said that if you can't do it yourself, why do you want to stop me from doing good things?
This is great for both Nortel Networks and engineers, so why can't it be done?
What's more, Xiao Qi still has something he hasn't told Gang Leader Qiao.
That is, although Xiao Qi will give Nortel Networks hundreds of millions in liquidated damages this time, the engineers he hired, not to mention whether their technical skills are good or not, first of all, their character is very good. In his old employer
When encountering difficulties, those who try their best to help will not be bad people after all.
Engineers like this were recruited by Xiao Qi into the North American laboratory of Mingxiang Holdings, and they were very reliable and safe to use.
Otherwise, even in the current North American laboratory of Mingxiang Holdings, many leaking employees are fired and sent to court every year. If more than 1,000 people of unknown character are suddenly added, wouldn't it directly disrupt the normal situation?
Research environment?
Xiao Qi also met Tom, director of the technical department of Nortel Networks, through this incident.
This 48-year-old middle-aged man is very skilled in technology, and he has been supporting Nortel Networks for the past few years, so he has very rich experience.
Lun Xing, the general manager of Mingxiang Holdings North America Laboratory, is good in terms of ability. But it is limited to his management and coordination talents, and he does not know much about technology. He is the same as Sun Manxue of Fairy Laboratory.
Tom is very suitable to be the deputy general manager responsible for technology research and development in Mingxiang Holdings North America Laboratory. Judging from the fact that this time he would rather reduce his salary by 1 million per year and leave 5 million US dollars in poaching compensation for Nortel Networks, this
The person's character is very good. As long as his behavior is reviewed and investigated, if there are no problems, then he is worthy of Xiao Qi's reuse.
Xiao Qi has high expectations for his group of Nortel Networks engineers. After they join Mingxiang Holdings North America Laboratory, Xiao Qi will directly gather some of them who are proficient in cloud computing and communication multi-core processors to design and produce new models.
The cloud server is for the Fairy Company’s own use.
Now it includes Appstore, DreamDive, Xiaoniao.com, Weibo Company, WeChat Company and other companies. The cloud servers used are all produced by other companies.
Nortel Networks used to rely on servers to start their business, but they also failed in servers when the Internet bubble burst. Thousands of servers they had ordered from others just rotted in the warehouse.
Over the years, Nortel Networks, which has cut a lot of its business, has not caught up with the good times of cloud servers, but Xiao Qi knows that now is just the beginning, and the market for cloud servers will be extremely huge in the future.
Because the Internet era requires a lot of calculations and operations, the larger the company, the more cloud servers it will need. Tens of thousands of them are casual. Xiao Qi has even heard that Facebook is OK.
There are plans to increase the number of cloud servers worldwide to 200,000 in 2020!
Nortel Networks' servers are already excellent, and its technology does not lag behind. If it joins the competition in the cloud era, with the help of Xiao Qi's infinite financial resources, there is no reason to lose to others.
With a cloud server designed and manufactured by yourself, not only in terms of performance, but also in terms of security, it will be much better!
The claws of the US Intelligence Agency are very terrifying!
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Xiao Qi arranged the agreement with Nortel Networks in the afternoon and went to Tang Mingxiang's manor. Seeing that it was almost evening, Xiao Qi accompanied Tang Mingxiang for a walk, and then went to Tang Mingxiang's estate with Tang Jucai.
Wang Na said something, pretended to be anxious, and hurriedly left Tang Mingxiang's manor.
On the way, Xiao Qi was thinking about the expressions of his parents-in-law, which were a little ugly.
The excuse he made these days was that the company was very busy and he needed to work overtime to deal with matters at the Fairy Company headquarters. The time difference between New York and Chengdu was exactly 12 hours, so he had the excuse to work overtime at night.
But not staying at home every night made Wang Na very dissatisfied. Even Tang Jucai felt that her son-in-law worked too hard, but shouldn't his wife be the most important at this time?
However, Tang Mingxiang didn't care. Instead, she encouraged Xiao Qi not to waste work, so the couple didn't say anything.
Xiao Qi had no choice.
This is a pet peeve, and there is a pet peeve there, but the due dates of the two wives are coincident. If it weren't for little Taylor's fetal movement and Sophie coming to the world early, I'm afraid he would be even busier.
Not to mention the parents-in-law here, Boer and Xialina over there are also dissatisfied with Xiao Qi.
The reason for their dissatisfaction was also that they thought Xiao Qi was a workaholic, but the couple's dissatisfaction with Xiao Qi became that he went to work during the day.
All right.
Xiao Qi had no objection to this. If he married more wives, he would naturally have to bear the pressure.
What's more, with little Sophie in my arms, I feel so much better.
Unfortunately, except for his parents, he had no way to tell anyone else the good news, mainly because he was worried about little Taylor's future development and the many babies that would be born in the future.
"What, you want to go back to your hometown?" When Xiao Qi returned home, holding little Sophie in his arms and walking with his wife in the manor house, he heard Taylor say this.
It should be said that European and American women are really different from Chinese women.
Usually a woman can walk around the next day after giving birth. For example, after Princess Kate gave birth to her little prince in 2013, didn’t she hold her baby and come out to meet the media the next day?
Even German women can go to work the next day, that's what they call real awesomeness.
Compared to other women, Taylor is younger. Her mother is only 19 years old, and her body bones are always weaker, so this is the third day after giving birth. She got off the bed and slowly began to move her body.
.
In the past two days, she has not done anything other than nursing the baby. Several experienced Japanese aunties asked her to do some simple exercises in bed. Today, she was asked to only walk slowly when she got out of bed, but she was not allowed to walk yet.
It's been a long time.
Including this time when she and Xiao Qi were strolling, this was only the third time she got out of bed.
As a result, before taking a few steps, Taylor told him that her parents were going to take her and little Sophie back to her hometown of Pennsylvania.
Of course Xiao Qi was very dissatisfied. After being stunned, he said directly: "Let them go. My wife and my daughter will naturally stay with me."
"Giggle~~ You greedy guy!" Taylor smiled so hard that his eyes were bent, obviously very satisfied with Xiao Qi's care for himself and his daughter, "But, don't forget, Xiang'er will give birth in two days.
Oh! If we were all together, how could you be so busy? My parents wouldn’t have noticed? "
Xiao Qi felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, I'm not blaming you!" Taylor now has a daughter and is ready for everything. Originally, she had a carefree personality and didn't want to care too much. "Xiang'er is my good friend, so I naturally want to help her. Besides,
My parents said that the air environment here is not good enough for Sophie and I to cultivate. I think so. The air in New York is not as good as the people in my hometown, so I am planning to go to cultivate for a month."
Pennsylvania is a simple state with little developed crafts and commerce, but it is suitable for people to live in. Xiao Qi knows this.
"Well, I can't make it this time." Xiao Qi said a little guiltily, "When I come to the United States next time, our family of three will stay in your hometown for a few days."
Taylor knew that several of Xiao Qi's women were about to give birth to children in China, so he would rush back immediately after Tang Mingxiang gave birth.
Thinking that her lover was already the richest man in the world, but he still had to work so hard, she unconsciously pursed her lips and smiled: "You deserve it! Who told you to be a playboy?"
"Now that I think about it, this is indeed a bit bad." Xiao Qi freed up a hand and held her little hand: "But if you ask me to let go of any of you, I can't do it. It's just hard work.
you……"
"I'm not working hard. It's enough for me to have Sophie by my side, right?"
While talking, Taylor touched her daughter's little face with her hand, her delicate cheeks filled with a mother's loving smile~~ (It's a pie-in-the-sky activity, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
