Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Non-competition agreement is nothing new in later generations. It often appears in some film and television dramas with workplace background. It is mainly used to restrict employees from changing jobs. work in the same industry, and cannot conduct entrepreneurial activities in the same industry.

However, only high-level executives, high-tech talents, or key figures involved in company secrets may be required to sign a non-compete agreement. Sign for 2 years.

But in the United States, the legal period of non-compete agreements is more than two years, and there are more restrictions. After all, the development and growth of non-compete agreements has played an indelible role in Silicon Valley.

In the early years, companies would not engage in this thing, until Silicon Valley became popular after non-compete agreements, this thing first became popular in the United States, quickly spread to all regions in the United States, and then began to spread globally.

So when the lithography machine recalled overseas Chinese to return to China, we encountered this practical problem. If many high-tech talents return to China, they will not be able to participate in the work of the same industry for a year, a half or even a few years, so it is meaningless for them to return to China.

Although many companies will use some black box operations to avoid legal constraints, such as not signing contracts with them, letting them work at home and paying wages privately, the problem is that they have to face another problem.

That is an essential difference between the laws of the United States and China. The laws of China are based on the evidence first and then the case is filed, but in the United States, the evidence is filed first, which means that a company in the United States can sue you as long as it suspects you. As for the evidence After suing, investigate slowly, and you still have to cooperate.

That is to say, once a domestic company has achieved a certain scientific and technological achievement, the company in the United States thinks that you are plagiarizing it, and the company happened to have key technical personnel resigned and returned to China in the past two years, so even if that person has no Participate, the American company can also sue this person for violating the non-competition agreement, and then request an investigation.

What's even more frightening is that the legal department of a high-tech company in the United States is really not a vegetarian. Let alone saying that it can't be found out, it can make you very uncomfortable. Sometimes even if you don't do it, he can say that you did it. most disgusting.

Therefore, those who operate in the dark, actually violated the non-compete agreement, and are more likely to be convicted.

And this is indeed the reason why many high-tech talents who have signed non-compete agreements overseas, especially in the United States, dare not return to China. This is a very real problem.

"What can we do about the non-compete agreement?" Pan Yun was really curious. If the school could do something, they would have done it a long time ago. How many people couldn't come back because of this problem, everyone felt aggrieved.

"This is what I think. If overseas high-tech talents are to return to China with peace of mind under the pressure of the non-compete agreement, the only way is to give them enough protection. Our Dafeng Group has already done this, and we will continue to do so. Strengthen the legal department of our company. At the same time, we will bear all the expenses they will encounter in all legal disputes in the future. Even if we lose to the rogue lawyers in the United States and have to lose money, the money will also be paid by the company. All legal Responsibility and legal consequences are taken by Dafeng Group.

Of course, we will not have any black-box operations. During the period of the non-compete agreement, we will not ask them to come to work in our company, which will also ensure that the impact of subsequent lawsuits will be minimized.

As for their economic losses caused by unemployment within the stipulated period of the non-compete agreement, our Gale Group can provide additional compensation. Under the series of guarantees we provide, we have indeed seen more and more people willing to return to China to develop in our recent overseas contacts.

But what I want to ask the school for help today is whether they can be allowed to do some things during the period when they cannot work due to the non-compete agreement, because these people are talents in various fields, if they stay at home One or two years is really a bit too wasteful.

Although many people would consider taking advantage of this time to continue learning, with the development of technology, learning out of practice will become less and less effective, and is there something more suitable for them to shine? After long-term thinking, I thought of one thing, education. "

"Education?" Pan Yun followed subconsciously, because he had a little understanding of Meng Qian's meaning, but after thinking about it, he still didn't make a guess, and motioned Meng Qian to continue.

"That's right, these talents who can make American companies request to sign non-competition agreements are often highly educated and rich in work experience. What are the difficulties we are facing in the development of science and technology in our country? Isn't it the lack of national scientific research investment and the huge talent gap? what?

Then why don't we consider letting these returnees use this time to participate in talent cultivation? But because Dafeng Group itself is a technology company, it has natural peer attributes. They can't come to my company to do any work, even cleaning. "

"But it's impossible for them to come to the school to be teachers." Pan Yun confirmed Meng Qian's thoughts, and asked a question, "It's not so easy to become a university teacher, and it's impossible for them to work part-time for a year or two." university teacher."

"I know, so my idea is to set up a training academy in the name of the school that is oriented to the school itself and to the society. For the training academy, the recruitment of teachers is naturally not as difficult as becoming a university teacher. At that time, we will recruit those who are willing to come Returnees are called together and let them cultivate talents.

Moreover, Dafeng Group can provide practical educational resources that keep up with the trend, so that students in the training academy can get more meaningful educational content.

I hope that the leaders don’t mind if I say something offensive. Our current university education itself may be a little out of touch with reality, but this is the general environment. I, a small private business owner, can’t change it, but this way may improve some things.

So I think this approach can not only make use of the resources of returnees, but also cultivate practical talents, and can also increase the income of returnees while they are unemployed. Of course, we also recruit teachers from the society, and those who are capable can come. ah. "

"Then all the people trained will go to work in Dafeng Group." Pan Yun teased deliberately.

Meng Qian smiled, "Of course the right to choose is in the hands of the students. I hope from the bottom of my heart that more companies can cooperate with the school in the future. Everyone will jointly cultivate talents and absorb talents. There are really more people. Dafeng Group I can't keep it either."

Meng Qian didn't say something very important here, but the school leaders naturally understand that it is to let the school do this, and the training academy can be controlled by the school. Meng Qian also deliberately handed over the power to the school. Check and balance with yourself.

Otherwise, as Pan Yun said, everything is for Dafeng Group to create talents. People need to know how to control things. Once you go too far, even if you are well-intentioned, you will face endless doubts and restrictions.

It would be great if all these talents in China were serving a company, and a private company. This is something that neither the school nor the country will allow.

Pan Yun tapped his fingers on the table for a while, and he really fell into deep thought, "This idea is indeed good, but it may not be possible to implement another training academy in the name of a school."

Meng Qian continued, "This kind of thing is mainly for approval, but if the purpose and stakes are clearly stated, I believe the higher-ups will have their consideration, or you can find some other institutions to cooperate with."

"I'll make a note of this." Pan Yun knocked on the table with his glass, Meng Qian raised his glass, and the two of them stopped talking after taking a sip. This matter depends on how to operate later.

After that, Meng Qian quietly made a little transparency, waiting for the dinner to end.
