Chapter 34 I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow

Li Zetian smiled, the two of them were actually colleagues, what a coincidence!

"Wozniak, are you okay with Zhang Hao joining our development project?" Li Zetian turned to look at Wozniak and asked.

"No problem, Kevin Zhang's skills are very strong!"

Li Zetian nodded. Wozniak recognized Zhang Hao's skills, which shows that Zhang Hao's technical level is indeed very good!

Immediately, Li Zetian asked Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, are you willing to join? I can offer you a salary of 20 US dollars per hour!"

"Of course!"

"Okay, but according to the procedure, you must sign a confidentiality agreement first!"

"no problem!"

Subsequently, Zhang Hao first signed a confidentiality agreement and then signed a temporary employment contract with Li Zetian.

After collecting the confidentiality agreement and contract, Li Zetian said: "Now, let me introduce to you the projects we are currently researching and the development progress!"

Li Zetian immediately began to introduce Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao was also deeply shocked like Wozniak!

"Right now, our development progress is less than one-tenth. As far as I know, we still have a competitor! So, we must speed up!!!" Li Zetian said at the end with a serious tone.

Of course, Li Zetian hopes that the two of them can resign from HP and work as full-time employees at Apple. However, he mentioned it to Wozniak many times, but he still couldn't move him.

"Look at Zhang Hao's level. If he is also a technical expert, persuade him to join Apple!" Li Zetian said secretly in his heart.

At this time, Li Zetian began to assign some very difficult tasks to Zhang Hao, intending to test his skills.

Apple only wants elite talents to join! ! !

"You guys get busy first, I'm going to make a phone call and order three takeaways!"

Li Zetian ate takeout every day during this period, which almost made him vomit. However, there was no way, the garage was not suitable as a kitchen. Li Zetian couldn't help but miss those days at Harvard University, with Yu Jingqiu accompanying him and the delicious food she cooked!

Li Zetian shook his head. He couldn't think about this. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't eat takeout.

Which entrepreneur has not endured loneliness and loneliness? Only after enduring hardship can he become a master! ! !

The life of an orphan in his previous life had tempered Li Zetian's will. After making a phone call to order takeout, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work.

…

Zhang Hao is a master's student in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University. He met Tian Shuai at the Chinese Club of Stanford University and later became friends.

After several days of testing, Zhang Hao’s skills are indeed very good!

Youdao is "specialized in the art", Wozniak is not an all-round engineer, Zhang Hao's technical level in power supply, graphics and other aspects is actually much better than him, the two of them can complement each other perfectly!

With the addition of Zhang Hao, the development speed of the entire project is 40% faster than before.

At this time, Li Zetian had the idea of poaching Zhang Hao to Apple.

"Zhang Hao, come out and have a chat!"

"Mr.li, what's the matter?"

"Have you ever thought about switching from HP to Apple?" Li Zetian asked him in a very formal and solemn tone.

Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I have thought about it..."

"Now that you have thought about it, why not put it into action directly? If you can change jobs, I will pay you the same salary of 20 US dollars per hour. In addition, as long as you do a good job in the company, I can also promise to give you 3% options!!!”

Stock options are shares that do not exist yet, but can be obtained only if the conditions agreed by both parties are met within a certain period of time. If the conditions are not met, the shares cannot be obtained. Generally appears in the incentive mechanism of shareholders for management.

Li Zetian felt that direct gifting of shares was not as good as the option incentive mechanism. After some people got the shares, they had no intention of working. They thought, I have got the shares anyway, so what does it matter whether I work hard or not...

Apple's technology department needs a leader. Zhang Hao's potential is worth cultivating, and as a veteran of the company, 3% of the shares is actually considered low. However, Li Zetian knows how big Apple's future development potential is, so he can't give too many shares!

Li Zetian was worried that the other party felt that the options he gave him were too low, so in terms of salary, Li Zetian still offered Zhang Han a high salary of 20 US dollars per hour. If he worked 8 hours a day, it would be 160 US dollars a day, and 58,400 US dollars a year. This salary is This era is simply a sky-high price! ! !

Frankly speaking, Zhang Hao was really tempted at this moment!

There is both a sky-high salary and a 3% option. Even if Apple fails to develop and the shares are worthless, at least he gets a sky-high salary, which is much more than he earns at HP! In addition, he feels that the Apple-l model personal computer that the three of them are currently working on is simply great. If there is such a computer on the market, he will definitely buy one without hesitation! He is like this, and so should everyone else. Therefore, he is very optimistic about Apple's future development!

"Mr.li, I want to think about it!" Zhang Hao thought for a while and said.

"No problem at all!"

Li Zetian smiled and nodded, but Zhang Hao's excited expression already made Li Zetian confident!

Early the next morning, while it was still dark, Zhang Hao called Li Zetian and said on the phone, "Mr.li, I have decided!!!"

Li Zetian's pupils shrank slightly and asked, "What to decide?"

"I decided to switch from HP to Apple!"

"Excellent, Zhang Han, I can assure you that this is definitely the most correct choice you have ever made in your life!!!"

"I think so, Mr.li."

After the call ended, Li Zetian smiled happily, and one of the generals officially joined Apple.

…

In the morning, Zhang Hao submitted his resignation.

Wozniak, his colleague, quickly received the news.

He found Zhang Hao and asked in surprise: "Kevin, are you crazy? Or have you been fooled by Chronos' words and lost your mind? You actually gave up your job as an HP engineer!"

Zhang Hao shook his head and said: "No, Steve, I have the clearest mind at the moment. I have made this decision after careful consideration. I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow! HP is too big. The internal bureaucracy is serious, and many real talents are not reused, such as you and me. In short, I have had enough and decided to resign! Are you willing to stay in HP in obscurity and develop some mediocre garbage, or are you willing to stay in HP and develop some mediocre garbage? Are you willing to create an epoch-making product at Apple?!"

After saying that, Zhang Hao turned around and left, walking out of HP!
