The practice of signing fees was introduced from foreign companies and is set by large companies specifically for high-end talents. At present, the companies in China that are most in line with the West are Internet companies. Except for Haobo Technology, almost all large Internet companies have overseas capital holdings, so their style is also very Westernized.

With Xu Bin's level, he is not qualified to get a signing fee of three to five hundred thousand. Tencent was not considered very powerful in 2002, not to mention that QQ has been killed by Zhou Hao. He has no halo to rely on. The reason why Sina gave such a high signing fee is also forced by the situation. In Sina's eyes, the top three teams in the domestic instant messaging industry are Haobo Technology's PP team, Tencent's QQ team, and itself in third place.

Right now, if Sina wants to compete with Haobo Technology, the only feasible way is to poach the second-ranked Tencent QQ team, so they promised Xu Bin a signing fee of 300,000 yuan. If he can bring the team over, Sina will give him 500,000 yuan.

Xu Bin has great prestige and popularity in the QQ team, and this time, he realized that if he made use of his popularity in the team, he could earn himself an unexpected fortune of 500,000 yuan. With this 500,000 yuan, Xu Bin could buy a house in Beijing with full payment.

For Xu Bin, who has been following Tencent's entrepreneurial journey for several years, he has not been able to buy a house in Shenzhen until now. Now, as long as he brings his team to join Sina, he can immediately take root in Beijing. This is really attractive to him.

For the sake of the 500,000 yuan, Xu Bin had already decided to invest in Sina and give up Haobo Technology. However, because he had to give an explanation to others, Xu Bin still came to Haobo Technology as promised on Tuesday afternoon.

In order to win over this team, Zhou Hao personally met with Xu Bin in the office, ready to have a good chat with him and impress him with the future of Haobo Technology.

It was the first time that Xu Bin met the person at the helm of Haobo Technology. It was also the first time that he knew that the boss of Haobo Technology was the same person as the nationally famous Light of Hope. It had to be said that Zhou Hao's all-round success shocked him greatly. But for him, he did not come to discuss cooperation with Zhou Hao this time, but to go through the motions.

Zhou Hao talked to him with 100% sincerity, but he didn't expect Xu Bin's attitude to be very mercenary and realistic. He asked Zhou Hao right away: "Mr. Zhou, if our team joins Haobo Technology, what treatment can you give us?"

Zhou Hao was a little surprised. After all, Xu Bin was a former executive of the QQ team. Money was important, but shouldn't they first talk about each other's ideas, opinions, and views on the industry?

However, Zhou Hao did not avoid the topic, but directly said: "The specific treatment of your team should have been discussed with you by HR before. I can guarantee that your treatment at Haobo Technology is not lower than your income at Tengxun. In addition, each person will be given a resettlement allowance. As for your treatment, you can discuss it in detail with our human resources director."

Xu Bin pursed his lips and said bluntly: "Mr. Zhou, let me tell you what my team and I think. First of all, the team wants to get 1.5 times the previous salary at Tencent Training. As for me, I prefer annual salary + options."

Xu Bin's request is really too high. Even Sina did not give 1.5 times the salary of the previous QQ team. He asked Zhou Hao for so much. In fact, he just wanted to break up the negotiations and then tell the team that the negotiations with Haobo Technology broke down. The offer from Sina is very suitable now, so everyone should just sign with Sina.

Zhou Hao was also shocked by Xu Bin's big offer, but he didn't show it on his face. He took a sip of tea and said slowly, "1.5 times the salary is impossible. If I give you this treatment, I won't be able to explain to my team. I won't let the losing team get paid more than the winning team."

Xu Bin said: "In fact, we are very strong. The reason why QQ was killed by PP is because QQ has problems with its products and operations. If Tencent had a strong product manager, QQ's market share would not have been taken away by PP."

Zhou Hao asked: "Do you think Sina has a strong product manager?"

What Zhou Hao meant was very simple. Tencent failed, and you blamed it on not having a good product manager. OK, then do you think if your team joins Sina, Sina will have a product manager that can compete with PP? Aren't you afraid of experiencing the same failure you just experienced at Tencent?

Now, Zhou Hao can openly say that he is the best product manager in the Internet field, and even the best product manager in the world. The reason is that he has been leading the current Internet for more than ten years. When he plays with concepts, no one has thought of this concept in the current Internet field, and even if they have thought of it, they have not done it. So no matter who helps Sina to develop UC, Zhou Hao is absolutely sure to kill UC, just like he wants to kill QQ.

Xu Bin also understood what Zhou Hao meant, and was a little embarrassed, but he still said, "I am just as unclear as you are about whether Sina has a strong product manager, but I believe that our team has the ability to define a product and break free from the constraints of Tencent Training. We will definitely come up with a better product."

Zhou Hao frowned slightly. He found that Xu Bin's attitude did not seem to be to discuss business. No matter how low a person's EQ is, if he really wants to cooperate with others, he would not adopt such an attitude. The only possibility is that he did not come here for the purpose of cooperation at all.

Zhou Hao asked Xu Bin: "If I can't give you the treatment you expect, will you give up Haobo Technology?"

Xu Bin nodded. "Yes, after all, we have to survive. We have come all the way to Beijing just to get a satisfactory treatment. If you just give us the same salary as before and some resettlement allowance, we will never accept it."

Zhou Hao knew everything in his heart. He nodded and smiled, then picked up the teacup and said, "I wish you a bright future."

Xu Bin also realized that Zhou Hao was sending him away, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Okay, the talks broke down, now I can explain to everyone, and the rest is to quickly persuade everyone to accept Sina's offer, and no matter what, we have to get 80 people.

So, Xu Bin, who was excited, picked up the teacup and said to Zhou Hao, "Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "I won't see you off. When you get to Beijing, you can contact me and we can have a meal together."

Xu Bin nodded, stood up and said with a smile: "Then Mr. Zhou, I will leave first."

"Walk slowly."

After Xu Bin left, Zhou Hao's face instantly turned cold.

Although Zhou Hao didn't know what Xu Bin talked about with Sina, he also understood that Xu Bin had completely sided with Sina and wanted to continue to be the enemy of Haobo Technology. In this case, there was no need to talk further and it would be best to meet on the battlefield.

After Xu Bin left, Zhou Hao called Guo Kaiyu and Lu Yatong. After the two came to his office, he asked directly: "How is the development of the navigation station going?"

Guo Kaiyu said: "It was completed this morning. The navigation site is so simple that a few of us web engineers wrote it a few days ago. I was just about to ask the boss when it will be online."

Zhou Hao said: "Just do it well, don't rush, wait for my news."

Guo Kaiyu nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Hao said, "Okay, Lao Guo, this is none of your business, go and get busy first."

Guo Kaiyu felt that Zhou Hao was carrying a sense of hostility today, so he didn't ask any more questions and nodded: "Then I'll go get busy first, boss, come find me if you have anything else."

Guo Kaiyu left, and Zhou Hao asked Lu Yatong: "How is the recruitment of a senior editor going?"

Lu Yatong said: "A few of the people I followed were pretty good, but considering our strategic intentions, they couldn't carry the team. However, there is one person I think is very suitable, but he is currently a senior executive of a company and has stock options."

Zhou Hao frowned: "Which company?"

Lu Yatong was a little embarrassed, "It's from Sina."

"From Sina?" Zhou Hao was also a little surprised. He really didn't want to poach people from Sina. He just wanted to kill Sina.

Lu Yatong said: "That person is Nie Yuan, and he is now the executive vice president of Sina."

Zhou Hao suddenly remembered this name, Nie Yuan, who had been rooted in Sina's content for more than ten years and created many legends for Sina. Later, due to Sina's own reasons, he left Sina and joined Lei Jun. After joining Lei Jun, Nie Yuan did not have any creativity, but he did a lot of awesome things in Sina in the past ten years.

Zhou Hao couldn't help but ask Lu Yatong: "Have you communicated with him?"

Lu Yatong said: "I didn't dare to say it too obviously. After all, the other party was from Sina. I didn't dare to state my purpose. I just asked the headhunter to test whether he was interested in changing jobs. I just said that someone in the industry wanted to poach him and could double his salary. However, he directly refused without even understanding me."

Zhou Hao frowned, "Do you have this person's resume?"

"Yes." Lu Yatong took out an A4 paper from her folder and handed it to Zhou Hao. "I asked someone to find information everywhere to piece it together. It may not be accurate."

Zhou Hao nodded, took it and took a quick look, then slapped the table and said, "It turns out to be my senior!"
