The concubine is often arrogant: the eldest lady of the poison doctor, (six more)

Danny? Fadell is the creator of that iPod, and the founder of the smart home company Labs in his previous life, and he can be described as a real genius. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info[Ran^Wen^Library][]. [774] [buy]. [][^text^chapter.com]

After confirming that he had completed his job and had thoroughly understood the drawings and technical specifications of the smart thermostat and smoke alarm that Xiao Qi handed him, Fadell chose to resign without hesitation.

Joe's resignation had been expected for a long time, but as he had told Tim Cook before, Apple could do without anyone, so after some unsuccessful retention, he readily agreed to Fadell's resignation.

But according to the rules of European and American companies, Fadel and his wife signed many documents before leaving, promising that they would not leak Apple's technology, otherwise they would be punished by law.

For Fadell's departure, Qiao Gangster is actually a little regretful, because Fadell is definitely a technical genius, and without him, Apple will lose a lot of research and development.

Fadell himself is not very sorry, in research, as long as they are geniuses, they have always been a bit of a "new and dislike the old" habit, they do not like to repeat a thing repeatedly, they only like to constantly develop new things.

It happened that at Apple, Joe asked Fadell to continue to develop follow-up products for iPod and iPhone, and he didn't want him to do the rest, which made Fadel very dissatisfied.

At this time, Xiao Qi came out with only a thermostat and a smoke alarm, and promised to develop Fadell at will, all of which were paid by Xiao Qi's generous conditions, so it's no wonder that Fadell didn't want to go!

Xiao Qi is not worried about whether Fadel will develop some useless technologies in the future, because in this world, pure technical research and development personnel are basically extinct, and those who can survive are basically people who take into account both ideals and reality.

Take a look at what Fadel did after leaving Apple in his previous life!

It took four years. Fadel and companion Matt? What Rogers created is the thermostat and the smoke alarm!

They are not only beautiful and concise, but also very practical, and the U.S. government has even issued subsidies for this, hoping that the public will buy these two excellent furniture smart products.

It was precisely because of their market-taking move that Xiao Qiqi decided to give Fadel a 20% stake. A 20% stake in Rogers was also prepared.

For this reason, Xiao Qi only paid the thermostat and smoke alarm created by the two, as well as a start-up capital of 200 million US dollars.

The name of the company, with the advice of Fadell, was still named Labs.

Except for the thermostat and smoke alarm, the profit share of the two is 10%, and the rest of their own inventions are distributed according to shares.

This ratio is very appropriate, after all, in various countries, R&D personnel take so much, because of the production, publicity, sales and so on of goods. It's a very complicated matter, but this aspect of the division is also necessary.

Xiao Qi didn't completely ignore this company, he had already hired a few professional managers through a headhunting company at this time to take charge of sales, which was also agreed by Fadell and his wife in advance.

To have unlimited R&D funding to do what you love is sure to make a lot of money, for Fadel. It's a very happy life.

In Labs, Fadell is the CEO. His wife, Daniel, did not take on the position again, but only did the logistics of the family, taking care of the children and the daily life of her husband.

By the time Fadell sat in his office on the first floor of an office building in Silicon Valley, several professional managers had already begun to hire R&D personnel and day-to-day staff as required by Fadel.

Fadel knew that with Xiao Qi's financial resources and influence, many technical talents would give face. So from the beginning, he blatantly used the name of "Labs Company, a subsidiary of Fairy Company" to recruit people.

All right.

When Fadel came to this, it made a bit of a big fuss.

Although new companies are established every day in Silicon Valley, as soon as this signboard is played, the eyes of all personnel immediately light up.

The reason is simple. Xiao Qi is not only a genius in the field of intelligent electronics, but he also uses a series of facts to prove that he is also a genius in investment.

On oil futures, Xiao Qi taught Wall Street elites a hard lesson again and again, making billions of dollars to go, so that several major investment banks are now afraid when they hear about oil betting.

In terms of investment business, Xiao Qi is also powerful.

Needless to say, Foursquare shares that were sold for $2 billion just sold were just $300 million and about 5 months of preparation time for the launch.

There is also LinkedIn, a professional social networking site, which was valued at $3.3 billion a few months ago, and in May, due to the rapid increase in the number of visitors, registrations and active users, the valuation has risen again to $4 billion, and Xiao Qi paid a total of only $900 million.

The remaining two are even more incredible.

Airbnb, an in-flight accommodation company, has developed at an unimaginable speed with the huge financial support of Xiao Qi, and some time ago DST venture capital companies were willing to invest 1 billion US dollars in 20% of the shares, but Xiao Qi blatantly refused, it is said that some analyst companies believe that Airbnb has reached a valuation of 8 billion to 12 billion US dollars, which is no problem at all.

Coolgame, the largest mobile and social platform game company, accounts for the vast majority of the game share of AppStore and Fayspace, so it is not an exaggeration to describe its development with each passing day.

Under Xiao Qi's instructions, Coolgame has developed a total of 13 games, and basically the number of active users of each game has exceeded 90 million, which is two or three times more than that of other companies!

No way.

It's just the beginning of the era of smartphone and social networking games, and with so many classic games playing together, others have to back down.

For this reason, a few months ago, Coolgame's valuation was raised to $12 billion by Blackstone in one go, shocking the entire Silicon Valley and Wall Street.

But what shocked them even more. Xiao Qi didn't sell it!

It can be seen that the value of coolgame can be increased by billions of dollars!!

Think about it, Xiao Qi has invested in so many companies, all of which have made a lot of money, and now they have actually created a labs company, why don't they let various institutions and engineers in Silicon Valley actively pay attention?

Who wouldn't want to hitch a ride with Xiao Qi?

Who wouldn't want to be part of an invention that could change the world?

So. After the sign was played, the number of engineers who came to Labs to apply for jobs almost overwhelmed the office space.

Fadell was happy, but the Qiao gang leader on the other side was unhappy, and directly swept everything on the table!

Then, Qiao Gang Leader didn't care about Xiao Qi's earthquake relief or something, and made a phone call directly.

"Say it! Why tick. The one who led me? Qiao Gang Leader said viciously: "Do you treat your friend like this?" ”

"Stephen, don't you say it so creepy, okay?" Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew the reason for his call: "Fadell wants to start his own business." I just had the right time. Do you still think that if he doesn't do your product development, how much impact will it have on you? ”

"How can he alone compare to the entire Apple engineering team?" Qiao Gang Leader sneered.

"Isn't that enough?" Xiao Qi said: "Are there fewer people who leave Apple on weekdays?" Wouldn't it be nice if you just treated him as a general resignation? ”

"But before he left, you were in touch, right? It's not in order. Qiao Gang Master grabbed a little and said.

"Please, Stephen, we're good friends too, aren't we? Which person who left and changed jobs did not arrange the way back in advance? What do those headhunters do? Xiao Qi retorted.

"I don't care. That's not right for you! Of course, the Qiao gang leader doesn't recognize the potential of this industry. Rules.

"Then you have come to China, I apologize to you solemnly. It's time to do it, right? Xiao Qi hurriedly changed the topic: "Let's not talk about those little things, Stephen, do you remember our previous bet?" ”

"What bet?" Qiao gang leader immediately pretended to be stupid.

Xiao Qi will not let him go, "We are betting on whether Dreamstars can sell more than 50 million units in half a year, and it is now May, and it will be on sale from the end of December last year." To date, Dreamstars has sold 63 million units. Then the bet is considered a win! Isn't it time for the conditions you promised me to come true? ”

Gang Leader Qiao sighed dejectedly.

In order to get more shares in the app store, he gave Xiao Qi this gambling treaty, and if he wins, he will get 25% of the app store shares to purchase the interest. If you lose, you can only buy 3% of the shares.

When the sales of Dreamstars reached 15 million units in April, Qiao Gang knew that he had lost, and today Xiao Qi officially mentioned it, and he was inevitably a little frustrated.

Dreamstars can match the iPhone in sales and popularity in a few months, which is where Joe's gang leader feels a little threatened and knows he needs to be vigilant.

"Well, Apple only buys 3% of the shares, I'm willing to bet on losing!" Gang Leader Qiao gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"But that's not all!" Xiao Qi reminded him with a smile: "You still owe me two conditions!" ”

Gang Leader Qiao gasped and said angrily: "Xiao Qi, don't go too far!" ”

"No, no! Stephen, I'm just taking back what belongs to me. Xiao Qi said in a harmonious voice: "You win, I will sell you 25% of the shares of the app store." You can also buy 3% if you win, if there are no two conditions, how can you say I can agree to bet with you? Am I not a fool in this way? ”

Qiao's anger rose, but he knew that Xiao Qi was right, the bet was like this, and if you lose, you should pay the price.

"But don't forget, I promise you two things that don't violate your conscience." Gang Leader Qiao is not pretending to be stupid now, and also put forward the original limit, "This sentence is still said by yourself." ”

"That's right!"

Xiao Qi happily admitted: "Then I will only talk about the first thing today, I hope to take away an engineer from Apple in the form of buyout money." ”

Gang Leader Qiao frowned again, feeling bad in his heart.

In Western society, it is a contract society.

Like an important engineer, he will be bound by the company he works for with several terms, lest he take the secrets of his company and sell them to others.

In addition to confidentiality clauses, many important engineers also have contract term clauses, which are generally signed for five or ten years, so as to ensure that engineers can work for themselves for a long time.

In addition to the confidentiality clause that cannot be broken, this contract term clause can be poached in the form of buyout money, which has always been done by those headhunters, directly buying out the remaining contracts and leaving.

Of course, Xiao Qi wants to dig up Apple's engineers, which must be agreed by Qiao's gang leader, otherwise it is easy to make trouble.

The previous Fadell was different, he had left the category of ordinary people, he was a senior vice president, and this kind of high-level resignation was easier.

Gang Leader Qiao said coldly: "I didn't expect you to be so scheming!" Tell me, who do you want to buy? ”

"Smart Chip Engineer, Matt? Rogers. Xiao Qi said: "The loss to apples is not big, talents like him, you have a lot of apples!" ”

Joe Gang Leader thought about it, this Matt? Rogers himself has the impression of being a shy and talented man, but he is not one of the most prominent of the group.

But Gang Leader Qiao is not stupid, he knows that it must be unusual for Xiao Qi to ambush the person who comes to poach people in advance.

"I'll go back and think about it!" Gang Leader Qiao decided to stay put, investigate first, after all, he and Xiao Qi are allies, but at the same time they are competitors, so they can't do such stupid things as an enemy.

Although he knew that Xiao Qi must have agreed with Rogers, if it was true that Rogers had outstanding talent that he hadn't discovered before, Qiao Gang Leader still had to try to keep him!

"Okay, please get back to me as soon as possible." Xiao Qi smiled heartily: "Stephen, you shouldn't be a person who doesn't talk about trust, right?" Don't make me look down on you! ”

"Get out!"

Joe hung up the phone cleanly.

The moment he hung up the phone, the face of the Qiao gang leader showed anger and chagrin.

"Traitor! It's all a bunch of traitors!! ”

In the office, such a roar rang out. To be continued......
