Xueba's computing system

Chapter 87 Game
Haotuan responded quickly one day later.

An additional contract was provided to Lin Yuan by Vice President of Technology Liu Zhang and a legal department director who came specially from Songhu.

Contractual agreement.

Lin Yuan's monthly salary will reach 42K after three months of employment, which is about 50 per year. However, he needs to sign a three-year contract and a five-year non-compete agreement at the same time.

As compensation, Lin Yuan will receive 20 yuan worth of Haotuan stocks every year after one year, and can then receive dividends based on the stocks he holds.

When he leaves, Lin Yuan's shares will be repurchased by Haotuan Company at the then current share price. Such incentive shares given to employees cannot be circulated on the market.

In addition, there is the right to renegotiate grades once a year.

Lin Yuan made a rough calculation.

Three months later, my annual salary was 50 before tax.

After one year, you can get 20 stocks for free every year, which is equivalent to an annual salary of 70 before tax.

In addition, there is one opportunity every year to renegotiate terms with the company.

Liu Zhang said it quite straightforwardly. The benefits of the algorithm to the company can only be estimated at present, and no one knows for sure. That is why Haotuan offered Lin Yuan a salary suitable for senior engineers, and then gave him the opportunity to renegotiate the terms every year.

In other words, the good team has the mentality of throwing stones to test the water.

Otherwise, for such Internet companies, the real big names can easily earn several million dollars a year.

Liu Zhang also joked, "If you reveal the details of the algorithm and it is approved by the company's internal research institute, they might directly sign a contract with you for a few years with an annual salary of one million yuan."

But Lin Yuan naturally didn't want to be tied to the good group. The good group was just a stepping stone for him.

"Boss Liu, if that's the case, then why do you have to sign a three-year contract with me? Moreover, this non-compete agreement is too harsh. Even those new energy vehicle companies like you are included."

The non-compete agreement even covered the subsidiary of the coarse grain factory that had just entered the new energy vehicle industry, which means that all domestic Internet, IT, energy industry, and semiconductor-related companies of a certain scale are included.

If Lin Yuan signed, he would actually be tied to the good group for the next five years.

"I have also consulted the teachers of our school's law school. Let's keep it simple." Lin Yuan naturally would not fight a battle without confidence. "The annual salary will remain unchanged for the time being, and the contract will still be signed for one year. But I can sign an exclusive technology authorization letter."

"I will not provide any software or hardware technology related to food delivery to any other company other than Haotuan. This authorization letter can be independent of my employment contract. Do you think this is okay?"

The mentor found a professor at the law school for Lin Yuan, and this was the other party's advice to Lin Yuan.

This ensured Lin Yuan's personal rights and freedom, after all, the contract was only signed for one year. It also gave Haotuan peace of mind, as the authorization letter stipulated that Lin Yuan could not work for other food delivery platforms. For Lin Yuan, such restrictions were almost no restrictions, because he didn't really want to work in the food delivery industry for the rest of his life.

After Liu Zhang held a video conference with the headquarters to communicate and discuss, he basically agreed to the proposal for the technical authorization letter.

"The headquarters wants to sign a three-year, limited-scope non-compete agreement with you."

“Or a non-compete agreement?”

"Don't worry. We only included a few companies related to 'Ni Ele.me'."

"Ni Eleme" is Haotuan's biggest competitor and is one of the two food delivery platforms that survived the fierce competition in the entire Longguo food delivery market.

Lin Yuan took a closer look at the new non-compete agreement. The scope of restricted companies was much narrower. However, due to the complex investment relationship of Internet companies such as "Ni Eleme", Lin Yuan was cut off from Tao Group companies within three years after signing it. Because the financial backer behind "Ni Eleme" was Tao Group.

"Okay," Lin Yuan once again felt the calmness of the business company, the terrifying calmness.

The other party was worried that the technology authorization letter would not be able to restrict Lin Yuan, and if a non-compete agreement was used, Lin Yuan would not be able to have any business dealings or employment relationship with any Tao-related company.

Lin Yuan laughed at himself, "Whatever, the Tao family is now in decline anyway."

With the rise of various e-commerce companies, Taobao, which once dominated the e-commerce field in China, is now stuck in the quagmire of shrinking business. On the contrary, the total amount of fines imposed by various domestic and foreign companies in recent years is almost 300 billion.

If Lin Yuan really wants to go into e-commerce, his first choice will not be an old e-commerce company like Tao. Besides, he has no interest in e-commerce. What's the fun of selling goods?

"The company can pay you 20 yuan in non-compete compensation every year, and the technology license you requested will remain valid. But it will not be fulfilled until the second year, and the specific amount will be discussed at that time."

So, the final contract became.

Lin Yuan can enjoy an annual salary of 50 yuan in three months.

The contract is still for one year, but a non-compete agreement to block Taobao companies within a small scope will be signed for three years.

After the one-year contract expires, the two sides will discuss whether to renew it with Lin Yuan. The technology licensing fee after one year will also be discussed at that time.

This means that in addition to the 50 annual salary contract for this year, there is also a 20 annual non-compete compensation, which is set in stone. The rest is unknown.

Lin Yuan could guess the other party's plan.

If I don't want to be tied to a good group, then the good group will naturally not give me too much protection. This is fair.

"This condition is the bottom line given by the company. In fact, to be honest," Liu Zhang now sounded like a technical senior, "this contract is not as good as the original one. Although the company will determine your subsequent position based on your ability, but in a big company like Haotuan, as long as you can achieve results, you will not do too badly."

This is the truth. Lin Yuan also believes that Haotuan will not be too harsh on its core technical team members.

For large companies, routines are routines, but face is still important (of course, this only applies to their own core employees).

If it were an ordinary technician, the best outcome would be to stick with Haotuan. Haotuan's core business is very stable, and there's nothing wrong with enjoying a million-dollar annual salary here.

However, Lin Yuan now obviously has higher aspirations. He just wants to earn his first pot of gold from the good group and solve his current difficulties in life first.

Lin Yuan also knew very well why Haotuan had to issue a three-year non-compete agreement.

It is nothing more than relying on three years to figure out their own algorithms anyway. In fact, based on the current experience of the Internet industry, three years is already a very safe time.

The iteration speed of Internet companies is too fast. When new technologies come out, competitors will quickly imitate them. Just like Mi Chat and WeChat back then. There are too many such past events.

Lin Yuan believed that someone in Haotuan must think that this algorithm can be imitated in three months (otherwise they would not have offered Lin Yuan an annual salary of 50).

Therefore, after Lin Yuan gave the final contract to the professor of the law school for review, he signed it with confidence.
-
The game around the algorithm has come to an end, and the concerns about the good team have been eliminated.

Therefore, Lin Yuan's algorithm was used as a beta version for exploratory testing. Haotuan's internal research institute also began to replicate their own algorithm in a targeted manner.

From the perspective of the good group, Lin Yuan is just a young man who doesn't know the current situation.

But time will tell!
