Chapter 117 [Annual meeting (thanks to the rudder master of [Future Time and Space Lord])]

Bluestar Technology is very popular in the IT industry. Countless IT job seekers are the most ideal job place to work, and they want to get in.

Although the company's equity incentives are complex, and the contracts of dozens or hundreds of pages are painful to read, it also shows that the distribution of benefits is clearly handled, and the amount of value employees contribute can get corresponding returns.

However, the company's last-place elimination system is also cruel. The real capable people are promoted and the mediocre people are demoted, but no two parties are sorry for each other. They get equal returns after doing much performance during their tenure in the company.

In fact, Luo Sheng is a very humane boss. Everyone now regards him as his number one idol, and they all want to join the two technology companies he founded in all aspects, and high treatment is one aspect.

On the other hand, for employees, it is "Coast Blue Insurance" and "Blue Star Technology Insurance". When an employee joins any of these two companies, the company will tell the employee:

The employee will have 10 times the salary of his or her wife; if he or she dies accidentally, the parent can get the employee’s salary for another 5 years, if he or she has a child, the company will raise the employee until he or she is 18 years old; if he or she is unable to work in a serious illness or disability, the company will give him or her free salary for a lifetime or death and then pay his or her personal insurance.

So far, only companies under Luo Sheng enjoy such a welfare mechanism, and only Google is doing this worldwide, and has launched a similar "Google Insurance". The general welfare system is the same. The slightly different is that Google's personal insurance is 5 times the salary, while companies under Luo Sheng are 10 times the salary.

Blue Star Technology or Costa 10 has cruel elimination mechanisms but still have human touch. For example, if an employee of Blue Star Technology is eliminated due to the last-place elimination mechanism, he will continue to pay wages according to the salary standards during his employment every month until he finds his next job, but there is also a limit, up to half a year.

It is very hard and stressful to follow Luo Sheng and fight, but Luo Sheng must ensure that their efforts can be rewarded satisfactorily. Even if they are eliminated at the end because of their poor ability, they will help him as much as possible.

Instead of like an Internet company, its employees have not taken a day off for four or five years, and their performance during this period is pretty good, but they have personally experienced forced, calculated, monitored, framed, threatened, and even kicked out of the company by security guards when they are terminally ill.

Employees also want to fight for their ideals, but their children, wives, and families can only rely on him. They don’t want to be squeezed out the last drop of blood and thrown away like broken socks. They also want a guarantee. They may be fired or resigned one day due to work reasons in the future, but they don’t want to worry that their health will be abandoned when they work hard.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for everyone to struggle with Luo Sheng. This comparison is a verdict with other companies.

...

In the conference room.

"The annual meeting is scheduled for the weekend of the 16th of this month. Blue Star Technology and the staff of the Costa delle will participate." Luo Sheng looked around and said, "At this moment, half of the people have left to take charge of their respective work, and George and others have also left one after another.

As the boss and founder of the two companies, it is understandable to hold an annual meeting together. The early employees of the Costa del Blue were all transferred to Blue Star Technology. If you take a step back, the company has the final say and do whatever you want.

Currently, there are more than 5,000 employees on the Costa del Sur, while Blue Star Technology's employees account for more than 4,700 employees outside Shanghai, which adds up to tens of thousands.

Luo Sheng added: "Since we are holding an annual meeting together, although I have created both companies, the accounts and expenditures must be calculated clearly. Otherwise, if investors ask me for trouble, I will not be able to speak loudly to them. If the confidence is weak, then we will calculate according to the proportion of the number of people. As for the budget for the annual meeting, it will be 300 million."

Three hundred million?

Hearing this number, the participants were immediately stunned. Xu Yong said in surprise: "The budget for holding an annual meeting is 300 million? My God, if investors know, they will not cause trouble for you, but will come to chop you with a kitchen knife."

Xu Yong said this so that everyone present couldn't help laughing. Others might not say that, but he is the co-founder of Blue Star Technology and the company's No. 002 employee.

Luo Sheng leaned against the chairman's seat and said calmly: "It's not just work in life. What are we working hard and earning money for? In order to connect the great mission of all mankind? It's right, but we have to experience life, right? We have to spend money even if we make money, right?"

After saying that, he spread his hands around everyone. Feng Yi, who was present, couldn't help but reminded him weakly: "We seem to have not made money yet, and have been spending the VC money..."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng glanced at him: "Didn't you decide to make money just now?"

Everyone was complaining in their hearts, just be sure to make 100% money?

Luo Sheng added: "No need for bird vc, they don't have any control. I have the final say. Moreover, the company has decided to make a profit. I don't plan to let the company conduct a D round of financing. There is no need to raise funds privately, so next year, we will go public in the United States."

When this was said out loud, people couldn't help but be surprised. The news was too sudden. Next year? It was 2006.

"Don't make a noise everywhere. If anyone leaks the news, I'll slap him." Luo Sheng said, and everyone nodded repeatedly, but even if it leaks out, it's not a big deal.

Luo Sheng chose to go public in 2006, and he had his own plans. He did not forget the big things that would happen in 2007, and the global financial crisis caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States.

In fact, Luo Sheng has been paying attention to relevant news from time to time during this period. Now, just look at the top ten listed companies in the world's market value, you will find that the status of financial companies is rising wildly. Citi, aig, Bank of America and others have squeezed into the top ten, which has vaguely laid the groundwork for the future financial crisis.

After going public in the United States, the entrepreneurial team can have an opportunity to cash out on the same day as IPO, aiming to reward the entrepreneurial team for their contribution to the company.

Luo Sheng felt that if he did not go to North America to play a wave of housing market betting during the global financial crisis in 2007, if such a huge opportunity was turned a blind eye, most God would not spare him, and perhaps a thunder would be reduced to slash him back to the future.

However, it was too early to do this. Luo Sheng put away his thoughts and immediately made a decision in the conference room. The total budget for this annual meeting was 300 million yuan, Blue Star Technology was 145 million yuan in proportion and Costa 155 million yuan.

Now both companies are not short of money. Bluestar Technology received RMB 10.5 billion in round C financing last year, and Costa del Blue happened to have Qin Weimu helped get a loan of RMB 10.5 billion.

To be rich means to be willful.

Luo Sheng decided on the matter and just needed to explain it. Someone would deal with the following matters and immediately began to seek third-party planning.

There are no large gatherings and activities in Sucheng yet, but if you want to do it, you can definitely set up the venue. However, the time is not enough. There is only half a month preparation period, so how can you have such a big place?

Therefore, the venue for the annual meeting was not in Sucheng, but chose the "80,000-person Stadium" in Shencheng, and rented the stadium for the venue for the annual meeting.

The Shanghai Stadium is also known as the "80,000-person Stadium", but the number of seats is 56,000. Even so, the joint annual meeting between Blue Star Technology and the Costa del Blue is too large. The employees of the two companies are only less than 10,000, and it is impossible for them to be present. Someone always needs to stay for operation and maintenance.

There is a reason to choose such a large venue, because there is a big carnival for tables, food, drinks, and fun. With a budget of 300 million yuan, it is obviously a high-end route.

The company's annual meeting plan was officially announced on January 12th, and the company suddenly caused a sensation, and even this wind directly hit the entertainment industry, with reports from Europe and the United States.

Bluestar Technology has made headlines again.

During the annual meeting, the company invited a top international symphony orchestra. Not only that, but also invited popular singers from home and abroad to cheer up the annual meeting. Three domestic singers were invited, Pan Weibo and two other female singers.

It has to be said that in the past year, that is, the Chinese music scene in 2004, it was a year of fighting between gods, and various popular singles emerged one after another, such as Pan Weibo's "Happy Worship", and another Internet divine song "The Mouse Loves Rice" that has become popular all over the country. As for "Qi Li Xiang" and "Persian Cat" and many popular songs.

The appearance fees of these three singers invited in China are not the most expensive, nor are they the biggest brands.

This company's annual meeting invited Avril Lavini, the world's most popular rock queen, to come over. It can be said that she is one of the most popular female singers in the world so far.

The reason why Avril was invited was because she is the most well-known European and American female singer in China so far. None of them in this era, and such an era as "Tay Swift" has not yet emerged.

Avril also became famous in China in 2004. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the European and American music enlightenment for many domestic music fans. With her early debut, she quickly became popular all over the world with her song "pliated" at the age of 16.

Her posters were posted on countless young people's walls, and her music resounded in TV, games, and the players of young people in the streets and alleys.

Most of the young people are in the company, and the post-80s generation occupy the absolute main force. Most programmers are super fans of this rock witch who is rebellious and cool.

Nowadays, Avril is rising all over the world. She is only 21 years old this year. She is one of the absolute genius among the current European and American singers. She has the most beautiful side face. Girls all over the world are imitating her highlights and her smoky makeup...

It's so cool.

Whether it is business or music, Avril can be said to be one of the most iconic pop stars in the first decade of the new century.

In order to invite her to celebrate the company's annual meeting, it was considered a heavy bleeding.

When people from Blue Star Technology came to find her, Avril's agency learned that Lion had a big talk and asked for a price of US$7 million, equivalent to RMB57 million.

Luo Sheng certainly couldn't stand such a sky-high appearance fee. This is comparable to the appearance fee of Taylor Swift on the 2019 Double Eleven Carnival Night, and the current $7 million is much more valuable than the $7 million in fifteen years.

It's no different from grabbing money. Even if you don't have enough money, you can't be so "Kai". Finally, under Luo Sheng's remote control command, the team sent to negotiate was bargaining with the other party for three days, and finally talked about the price to ¥33 million, that is, about 4 million US dollars. Avril had to sing eight songs, and an average song was worth 500,000 US dollars.

But it is still a sky-high appearance fee.

This also gave Luo Sheng the idea of ​​inviting another European and American superstar. He also wanted to invite another popular female singer, Britney Spears.

If Avril is so cool, then Britney is definitely sexually conscious. Luo Sheng wants to invite two popular European and American pop music superstars, but doing this is too "Kai". In the end, he gave up one and chose Avril.

There is nothing else, I can't afford it unless I'm willing to be a "Kaizi", because Britney's agency is asking for too much, asking for $10 million, and finally it's less than $8.5 million without negotiation.

Luo Sheng wanted to scold her at this price. Britney is indeed very popular around the world, but she is far less popular in China than Avril. She still asks for a price everywhere, so she can only avoid negotiations.

So it was decided.

After the news about this annual meeting was exposed, the entertainment industry made a big report, and domestic netizens and fans couldn't sit still.
