Chapter 425: Poaching
As for supporting Xiaomi mobile phones again in the live broadcast room, Gao Yuan never paid attention to it. It doesn't matter whether you go or not.
Xiaomi's hot series of mobile phones are already very popular. From last night to now, they have been trending on several platforms. At least hundreds of millions of people are aware of Xiaomi's new mobile phones.
One more promotion or one less promotion, in Gao Yuan's eyes, there is not much difference.
The far-leading order volume of Xiaomi mobile phones is enough to explain everything. Last night's live broadcast was also earth-shattering, setting multiple records. In the end, more than 15 million people flooded into the live broadcast room, and the total number of viewers exceeded 50 million.
The traffic on your APP has reached its peak.
"Teacher Yu, Teacher Dong is a good employee. You really found a treasure."
Gao Yuan praised.
"Hahaha, Xiaodong is indeed good, but there is still a lot of room for growth." Teacher Yu said with some embarrassment.
Last year, Teacher Yu was in operation, wanting to reduce the influence of Teacher Dong and launch more anchors.
On the one hand, it is because Teacher Yu does not want the entire Oriental Education to be tied up by Teacher Dong alone. If Teacher Dong's performance is good, the stock price of Oriental Education will be high. If Teacher Dong's performance is not good, the stock price of Oriental Education will be low.
It is very troublesome when the entire company is tied up by personal IP.
This is also the reason why many IP institutions cannot be listed. If something happens to the Internet celebrity, the stock will basically be ruined.
Only by supporting a few more anchors can the company be stabilized.
Just like the company's top salesperson, once the top salesperson leaves the company, the company will immediately fall into trouble.
Only by cultivating a few more top-selling figures will the company not worry. When one pin crown is gone, several other pin crowns will come up.
But what Teacher Yu didn't know was that the reason why Teacher Dong in their company became so popular was not all because of him, but more importantly, luck. It is rare for a big anchor to be able to rise up.
On the other hand, Teacher Yu likes to be praised.
Originally, he was the object of admiration from all the stars no matter where he went. Now that Teacher Dong is here, every time he attends an event, Teacher Yu's attention will naturally decrease.
Many people went there for Teacher Dong, which caused Teacher Yu to feel unbalanced.
For all reasons, Teacher Yu has a love-hate relationship with his employee Xiao Dong.
"I wonder if I can cut off my love?"
Gao Yuan said what was in his heart.
"This...Mr. Gao, don't be kidding me. Yuanfang Group is one of the largest companies in the country today. How could you like Xiao Dong?" Although Teacher Yu felt a little conflicted with Xiao Dong, Xiao Dong was the company's top seller after all. .
Especially what happened recently made him feel even more.
Together, the sales of dozens of other anchors are only half of Teacher Dong’s.
If Teacher Dong is poached, then there may be no need for Oriental Education to exist. Therefore, Teacher Yu will definitely not agree to Teacher Dong being poached.
He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't offend Gao Yuan with his words, so Teacher Yu could only keep complimenting him, "Mr. Gao, your Yuanfang Group has a great cause, and there is no shortage of such an anchor. As long as you want to cultivate it, you can easily A great anchor can be cultivated.”
At present, the number of downloads of Youyou APP has exceeded 10 billion, but this kind of download volume is too high.
The real number of daily active users is about 100 million. It is not difficult for Gao Yuan to cultivate a blogger with tens of millions of fans. But what gives Gao Yuan a headache is how to make these Internet celebrities continue to be popular.
Most Internet celebrities rise very quickly and collapse very quickly. Scandals frequently break out, which affects the development of Youni APP.
The difference is that a positive anchor like Mr. Dong can basically stay popular for decades, and as long as Gao Yuan shapes it a little, your APP will be the face of your APP in the future, and it will be held in various large-scale press conferences and even various official activities. Teacher Dong can participate.
So for Gao Yuan, Teacher Dong is bound to win.
"There is indeed no shortage of big anchors, but our Yuanfang Group is indeed in short supply of anchors like Mr. Dong." Gao Yuan said with a smile, "Mr. Yu, I believe you have heard about Yuanfang Group. What I, Gao Yuan, want to get is very Less will fail.”
Yuanfang Group's current market value is several trillions, while Oriental Education Group's market value is only 20 to 30 billion.
Yuanfang Group is hundreds of times larger than Oriental Education.
If Gao Yuan really wants to deal with Teacher Yu, he can pinch him with both hands.
But without Teacher Dong, Oriental Education is completely over.
"If Mr. Gao wants Teacher Dong, he might as well acquire the entire Oriental Education." Teacher Yu said after thinking for a moment, "In this way, the entire Oriental Education plus Teacher Dong will be yours from now on."
"I believe this is not a lot of money for Yuanfang Group, right?"
Even if the acquisition is based on market value, Gao Yuan can indeed afford the price of 20 to 30 billion.
But why spend so much money acquiring a useless company? To be honest, in Gao Yuan's eyes, the entire Eastern education has no value except for Teacher Dong.
In other words, if Gao Yuan wants to take away Teacher Dong, he will need to spend 20 to 30 billion!
Isn't this the lion's big mouth? No matter how powerful Mr. Dong is, it may be difficult for him to create so much value, right?
"Then there's no need to talk!" Gao Yuan said nothing more.
Since this thing doesn't work, let's see the real thing. When Oriental Education collapses, all employees will be dismissed, and then Gao Yuan will entrust the human resources department to poach people.
"Mr. Gao, what are you doing? Let's talk about anything."
Teacher Yu was a little panicked. He didn't dare to offend Gao Yuan, so he could only lower his posture, "Mr. Gao, let's do this, it's okay to poach Teacher Dong, as long as Teacher Dong agrees."
Teacher Yu felt that he had a favor to Xiao Dong, and Su said that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. It's not that there were no executives from other companies who came to poach Xiao Dong before, offering a sky-high job-hopping fee, but in the end, Xiao Dong refused without exception, which also made Teacher Yu quite confident.
"No problem!"
Gao Yuan said, "I'll talk to Teacher Xiao Dong later."
...
After Teacher Dong finished explaining the delivery of goods to everyone, Gao Yuan invited him to take him around the Oriental Education Building.
"I wonder what Teacher Dong thinks of Oriental Education?"
Gao Yuan asked on the way.
"Dongfang Education has had its ups and downs, but under the leadership of Teacher Yu, we finally made it through. My biggest wish is to bring back all my former colleagues."
This has always been Teacher Dong's long-cherished wish.
Many of his friends have been fired, and now they are unknown.
Those people are the best teachers, and it is a pity that they left.
"Then what do you think of Teacher Yu?" Gao Yuan asked.
"Teacher Yu is a very good leader." Teacher Dong did not answer too much. After all, Teacher Yu is his boss, and saying too many good things would be suspected of flattery.
Gao Yuan nodded slightly, "Yes, it fits my impression. Our Yuanfang Group has developed an APP called YouNi. I wonder if Mr. Dong knows about it?"
"I know about it. Even our Dongfang Education has opened an account on YouNi APP and often sells products on it." Mr. Dong said, "YouNi APP is different from Douyin software. The content on it is richer and there is no information cocoon."
"We plan to invite you to join YouNi APP. I wonder if Mr. Dong is interested? It is not a corporate one, but a personal one. There is no problem with Mr. Yu. I have talked to him."
At this point, Mr. Dong has understood the general idea, but he still does not want to leave and wants to continue to stay in Dongfang. Fang Education, "I wonder if Mr. Gao can give me two days to think about it."
"No hurry, think about it slowly." Gao Yuan said, "The condition I can give is that after you sign the contract with Youni APP, we will use the maximum resources to tilt towards you. Don't you want to bring back your former colleagues? I will set up a special operating company for you, as long as the members are your former colleagues."
"At the same time, the new company is highly free, and the group will not interfere with your product categories and product methods. We also encourage you to bring more books and agricultural products, carry out agricultural assistance activities, and increase agricultural assistance efforts."
Gao Yuan's attitude is actually very clear. I pay the money and you work hard, and we share the money.
It is equivalent to him being an investor of Teacher Dong. Although Teacher Dong really needs an investor if he really wants to work alone now, it depends on who he is facing.
This is what Gao Yuan can promise.
For a while, Teacher Dong was silent.
It is really that Gao Yuan's conditions are too good, which is more than one level better than Teacher Yu.
The most important thing is that after going to Yuanfang Group, you can do what you want to do without being bound by many rules and performance.
"Mr. Gao, I can go to Youni APP."
Teacher Dong took a deep breath, "But I hope to leave Dongfang Education peacefully and don't want to have too many conflicts."
"Don't worry, I will handle it."
After talking with Teacher Dong, Gao Yuan found Teacher Yu again.
After learning that Teacher Dong actually agreed to Gao Yuan's conditions, Teacher Yu looked incredible.
"Mr. Gao, did you really convince Xiao Dong?"
Teacher Yu asked.
"You can call and ask." Gao Yuan smiled.
Originally, Teacher Yu thought that Gao Yuan would never poach Teacher Dong, but he didn't expect Gao Yuan to succeed.
"I believe in Mr. Gao's character. There is no point in making this call." Teacher Yu said, "But I signed a contract with Teacher Dong. If he wants to leave, he must pay a penalty of 1.5 billion yuan."
"Okay, only 1.5 billion yuan, not much." Gao Yuan said.
He just didn't expect Teacher Yu to do this at the last minute.
For Yuanfang Group, 1.5 billion is not much. But for Mr. Dong, 1.5 billion is an astronomical figure.
He worked so hard for Oriental Education, but he didn't even earn tens of millions, which were basically options.
He didn't expect that he would have to pay so much when he left.
Fortunately, Yuanfang Group is rich, otherwise he would have been tied to Oriental Education for life.
"Because of Mr. Dong's departure, the performance of our Oriental Education will definitely decline, so I ask for another 1.5 billion in compensation, which is not too much." Mr. Yu said.
He wanted Gao Yuan to acquire the entire Oriental Education, but Gao Yuan didn't agree.
So Mr. Yu could only make a fuss about this matter and find a way to get more money.
"Three billion in total, no problem." Gao Yuan said, "It's just that your behavior is a bit immoral. You want so much money, which means that Teacher Dong is worth at least three billion in your eyes."
"But Teacher Dong's salary is not even one-tenth of the three billion. Any boss wants to be the sales champion, but I have only seen you as a boss who wants to drive the sales champion away."
"Teacher Yu, think about it carefully."
Gao Yuan did not participate in the live broadcast tonight.
When leaving the Oriental Education Building, Gao Yuan called the financial director of Yuanfang Group and asked him to pay Oriental Education three billion.
The money arrived on the same day, but Teacher Dong signed the resignation contract the next day.
After the resignation, Teacher Yu called Xiao Dong into his office hypocritically, "I can't help letting you go this time, it's really that President Gao's power is too strong."
"You go to Yuanfang Group and work hard, and I will take you back in the future."
The nickname of Teacher Yu refers to his stinginess.
The matter of taking Teacher Dong back is purely a pie in the sky.
After experiencing many marginalization incidents, Mr. Dong was actually a little disappointed with his boss. It happened that Gao Yuan wanted to poach him and offered conditions that were very suitable for him, so Mr. Dong agreed.
It can be said that Mr. Yu's personality played a big role in the current situation.
If Mr. Yu could stand firmly on Xiao Dong's side when he went to Donghua, Xiao Dong would not be so disappointed.
Of course, it makes no sense to say this now, after all, Mr. Dong is about to leave.
No longer have to look at Mr. Yu's hypocritical face.
"Thank you for the cultivation of Oriental Education!"
After saying this, Mr. Dong left Oriental Education Company.
Two hours later, he appeared on Gao Yuan's private plane. When he saw Gao Yuan again, Mr. Dong had mixed feelings.
He joined Oriental Education Group after graduating from college, and was promoted from an ordinary training teacher to a team leader and then to a subject leader. Finally, he became a live streamer, from obscurity to fame, with more than 20 million and nearly 30 million fans.
To get to this point today, every step is not easy.
Now I have to go to Yuanfang Group and start my career again.
"Teacher Dong, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Gao Yuan smiled and shook hands with Teacher Dong.
"Mr. Gao, what I can't understand is why a boss of your caliber would personally invite me?" Teacher Dong asked.
It's not that there were no big companies trying to recruit him before, but they were basically managers of human resources departments or headhunters commissioned by big companies.
It's the first time that a boss of Gao Yuan's wealth and status has come to recruit people in person.
This is also a major reason that impressed Teacher Dong and made him leave Dongfang Education and come to Yuanfang Group. (End of this chapter)
