Rewrite the Technological Landscape

When Herman returned to the room, he turned on the computer immediately. He began to search a lot of news about the Dafeng Group. send it to him.

For Herman, it was impossible to switch to Dafeng Group because of Meng Qian's few words, but he did have an interest in Meng Qian and Dafeng Group for the first time.

The same is true for Meng Qian. He never thought about poaching Oracle's technical director with just one communication. This night was just to lay a foundation.

After Herman and John returned to the room, Meng Qian and Xiao Boshi met at the company.

"Has there been any news from John?"

Xiao Boshi shook his head, "John is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it is difficult to get any news out of him, but he should stay in Huaxia for a while, as for the Telecom Group, it seems that he really has no intention of giving up at present. "

"Can you confirm the news from Omi before?"

"You can be sure, they are all my former buddies, they will not lie to me." Xiao Boshi asked Meng Qian silently after finishing speaking, "How about Herman?"

"I've said everything that needs to be said. At least his attitude changed significantly when we separated. By the way, have you found out the time of Herman's non-compete agreement?"

"Half a year." Xiao Boshi responded affirmatively.

Before 2010, the non-compete agreements in Silicon Valley were all within one year. This is because before 2010, companies in Silicon Valley had private alliances.

Until 2010, it was revealed that Apple, Google, Intel and other US technology giants signed a complementary poaching agreement privately, using this agreement for a long time to prevent employees from changing jobs, and then using this to suppress employee wages, until five people in the technology industry Take these companies to court.

With the exposure of the incident, 64,000 practitioners filed lawsuits to the court one after another. This is the famous case of conspiracy to weaken competition in Silicon Valley. I played for five years.

In the end, the U.S. Department of Justice's intervention was only a result of reconciliation. After all, the capital of the U.S. is greater than that of the government.

But now that the matter has been exposed, it is not easy for these companies to continue to do so. Therefore, prolonging the time of non-compete agreements and increasing legal intervention after employees leave have become the norm for American technology companies after 2010.

"Half a year, the time is about the same." Meng Qian said half to himself.

Xiao Boshi still couldn't help raising his concerns, "Even after the non-compete agreement period has passed, the US will still intervene with other reasons. These companies in the US are even suppressing their own companies, let alone us. "

"I know." About how the United States suppresses the brain drain, can Meng Qian, a reborn person, not know, "But Herman is indeed an opportunity. Jiang University finally persuaded the Ministry of Education to set up a special college for returnees." Talents from China provide jobs during the period of the non-compete agreement.

At the same time, the country has also stated that it will provide some policy benefits to returning talents who meet certain conditions. We have already laid a foundation here. What is missing now is the confidence of those overseas talents in the country.

I asked Sun Jie to do some work. Generally speaking, many core talents abroad are still hesitant. What they worry about is what you said. Even after the non-compete agreement period, there will be other people in the United States. means. "

Xiao Boshi spread his hands helplessly, "It's normal. They are in the United States, so they are naturally very aware of these restrictions in the United States. If I climbed up a little bit back then, once I got in touch with the core of the enterprise, I would not have the opportunity to return to China so easily."

"So if we poach Oracle's technical director at this time, and push this matter to the table for Chinese people all over the world to see, and use our efforts to resist the legal hegemony from the United States, they will have what kind of thought?

If we resist, this is a kind of ability. If we don't resist, but we do all the efforts that should be done, do you think people will blame us? "

Xiao Bozhi suddenly realized, "I finally understand that the fact that Herman was recruited was not for his technology at all, but for publicity. The current China is far from the United States. If we can poach Oracle's technical director at this time, we must It will cause a global sensation. Even if the United States wants to suppress this news, we still have rumors that affect the world and we can report this matter ourselves.

As for the job-hopping of Herman, the United States will definitely put great pressure on us. If we can keep Herman in the company at this time, it will be able to demonstrate our ability and give more people who are hesitating whether to return to China. A little confidence in the core overseas talents.

If we still fail to keep Herman and even pay some price, as long as we spread our efforts, this is an attitude. We Dafeng Group can do this for the sake of talents, and this attitude will also become a swing for them. An important weight in the inner balance.

I finally know why you are willing to give the name of the database to Herman. This is to further expand the global influence of this matter, and to make Herman think that you are paying attention to him.

But there is one thing, from what the legal department sued those foreign media some time ago, it can be seen that our legal department still has a lot of room for improvement when it comes to issues of international law and US law. But he was unable to make a fuss about the matter. After all, the core prosecution of this matter is to wait until the United States exerts its legal hegemony, otherwise the most important point will not be reached. "

Just as Meng Qian was about to speak, He Yating knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Meng, Canon's team has arrived."

"Okay, you arrange them to stay in the hotel first, and I will see them tomorrow during the day."

He Yating nodded and left. When Meng Qian looked at Xiao Boshi again, he saw Xiao Boshi staring at him with squinted eyes, "There should be a legal department in the team that Canon is here this time, right?"

Meng Qian nodded.

"You should still find Sony's legal department in the future, right?"

Meng Qian nodded again.

Xiao Boshi gave a thumbs up subconsciously, "Convinced."

Not to mention 2002, even in 2019, no company in China has poached executives from large American companies. In the matter of poaching executives across the country, China has never had anything to do. After all, China's overall economy and The development of science and technology has been weak for a long time.

However, there is a country that has been in a battle with the United States to poach executives all year round, and that is the neon country.

Therefore, for companies like Sony and Canon, the legal department has been dealing with the United States all year round, and has thoroughly studied the legal hegemony of the United States.

"I have already consulted the legal departments of Sony and Canon. As long as we ensure that the employees have not engaged in any relevant work during the non-compete agreement, then things will be easy to handle later. Although the US has many tricks, the Neon Country A set of countermeasures has been sorted out a long time ago, and then we will accompany Miguo to practice Tai Chi well.

Like Jesse, who was previously poached from Intel by Sony, their lawsuit has been going on for more than four years, but as Sony said, they can't get any results anyway. Although the Neon Country has nothing to do with the legal hegemony of the United States, the United States also has nothing to do with the legal defense of the Neon Country.

We can't change the logic of robbers in the United States, so what we have to do is to be like the Neon Country, just consume energy. Moreover, Neon Nation has learned a lot of bandit logic from the United States, and we may use it when the United States wants to poach people from us. "

"You really don't learn well." Xiao Boshi couldn't help laughing, and then became serious again, "But no matter how well prepared we are, if Herman doesn't come, everything will be in vain."

"It's not a disadvantage to learn these things first. Even if Herman doesn't come, there will always be some talents who return to China one after another. Although it can make American companies pay attention to the fact that the total number of Chinese people who signed the non-compete agreement is not many, but these Everyone is a treasure, and it is worth making more preparations for them.

As for Herman himself, as long as we do our best, this matter is the best, and if it fails, we have nothing to lose. However, judging from the available information, Herman is the only executive from a rice company who may be poached by us. I can't even find a breakthrough for those executives from other companies. "

"Herman has a good family background and a high IQ. Fame has always been something he longs for."

The corner of Meng Qian's mouth turned upward, "More importantly, he has a personality problem and offends people everywhere. He has always been unpopular in Oracle."

Xiao Boshi and Meng Qian looked at each other tacitly, "Whether you can get Herman this time, the key lies in Oracle itself."

Two mornings later, Meng Qian, who was working in the office, suddenly received a call from Xu Hui.

"Mr. Meng, John came to see me just now, and Oracle provided a brand new software solution."

"A brand new plan? What exactly is it?"

"Mr. Meng, this is Oracle's plan, I can't tell you."

"Sorry sorry, I was rash."

"It's okay, I just called to talk to Mr. Meng. Now that we have agreed on fair competition this time, Oracle has submitted a new plan. We must re-evaluate it, including Oracle's offer. database comparison."

"Well, fair competition should be like this, but since it's competition, I don't think it's illegal to have a face-to-face conversation with Oracle, right?"

"That's natural."

"Then can I ask Manager Xu to arrange it?"

"Then this afternoon? Will Boss Meng have time?"

"It should be fine, I'll arrange it now."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Qian asked He Yating to book a flight ticket to Yanjing immediately.
