Society owes me a brother

Ten minutes later, the three sat in the private room that Yue Bin had reserved long ago.The two shareholders of Campus Network sat across from each other curiously. Leo Hagen, who was a little cramped in his application, couldn't help but ask, "How did you become like this?"

Leo Hagen gave a wry smile, hesitated to speak: "The non-compete agreement..."

At the beginning when Lu Chi and others were negotiating the acquisition with Morgan Dun, Leo Hagen was bewitched by the Smith family and played tricks behind the negotiating parties' backs.Later, when things came to light, Leo Hagen and some of the masterminds were dismissed by Morgan Dun, and the non-compete agreement was re-signed before the dismissal.Leohagen is required not to engage in related industries within three years.

At that time, in order to compensate for the loss of Leo Hagen, Morgan Dun also gave a generous compensation according to Leo Hagen's level and annual salary.All of this was done under the eyes of the shareholders of the campus network.So now, Lu Chi and Yue Bin don't understand at all why Leo Hagen would take a huge amount of compensation and get into such a miserable state.

Leo Hagen smiled wryly again, and patiently explained for some unknown reason: "Because I lost money in stocks."

When he said this, he paused for a while with a full face, and then said: "Since I left Mordun, I am like a fish out of water. I don't know what else I can do. I want to continue to study my project, but I couldn’t find an opportunity at all—I had no way to violate the non-compete agreement, and I could only control myself to leave the field I was familiar with.”

"Later, I shifted my energy to the stock market."

As a senior programmer who is immersed in the laboratory all day long, Leo Hagen has devoted all his energy to the transformation of Modun before this—this is also one of the foundations on which Modun has been able to stand since its establishment, and it is also An important reason why the Smith family is interested in Mount Dun.Leo Hagen originally thought that his cooperation with the Smith family was just the beginning, but he didn't expect that the cooperation he imagined would end before it even started.

After being kicked out by New Morden, in order to save his project and career, Leo Hagen approached the Smith family, and even wanted to get the support of Roll Smith Jr., so that he could perfectly resolve the competition that Morden forced him to sign. prohibition agreement.

However, he overestimated his own ability, and underestimated the bottom line of the Smith family. Obviously, at the beginning of everything, it was the people of the Smith family who took the initiative to find him for cooperation, but at the critical moment, it was the people of the Smith family who made the unilateral decision Terminate the cooperation, and push him to the bottom of the pit without hesitation.

"Can't continue working on my favorite project. I don't know what to do..."

During that period of time, Leo Hagen's full attention was on the campus network and Oriental Mordun.Pay close attention to the dynamics of these two companies.

Then he saw these people's crazy pursuit of Lu Chi's financial talent from various news media and financial magazines.

Occasionally, Leo Hagen, who was too idle to do anything, even began to pay attention to the stock market.

As the former director of the R&D department of Mordun, Leo Hagen has always believed that he is a person with high IQ. Similarly, as a senior researcher who is proficient in code and electronic technology, Leo Hagen is also very good at physics and mathematics.

And these two points are precisely the extra points for learning finance well.

Since Lu Chi can make money in the stock market by virtue of his mathematical talent, I will not be worse than him.

Such thoughts appeared in Leo's Hagen's mind like a prairie fire, and as Leo's Hagen continued to pay attention to Lu Chi, this dark comparison not only did not disappear, but burned more and more.

Finally, one day, the bored Leo Hagen decided to embezzle his high compensation to the stock market—he wanted to prove to the world that even if he was kicked out of Morgan Shield by Lu Chi and others, he would not be a victim of the stock market. It doesn't mean that his ability is worse than that of Lu Chi.

On the contrary, no matter in any field, Leo Hagan can proudly prove that he is the elite.

However, things backfired. Due to the financial scandals that broke out frequently in the business circles of country M recently, all investors will lose confidence in Wall Street.In this case, the stock market oscillates like a set of dominoes—once something goes wrong, never expect just one part to collapse.

Not to mention that Leo Hagen's misfortune was precisely that he was poisoned to a certain extent-none of the stocks he selected were spared, and all of them fell within a few months.The final result was that Leo Hagen lost all his money in the stock market and almost lost a luxury villa near Silicon Valley that was under loan.

"That doesn't mean you'll be reduced to being a parking boy, right?" Yue Bin couldn't help complaining, "At any rate, you're also a graduate of Stanford University."

Even if there is a non-compete agreement, as long as you work hard, you can find a relatively suitable new job.After all, Silicon Valley is so big, there are many places that need talents.Besides, how much money does the parking buddy make a month?

"Do you think I haven't worked hard?" Leo Hagen smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said straight to the point: "In fact, I have been looking for a new job since I was fired by Morgan Dun. But no one is willing to give me a chance."

The gossip that Leo Hagen had offended Campus Network and the Smith family, and was kicked out by Morgan Dun, had already spread throughout Silicon Valley.Those people didn't want to offend anyone, so they had to give up such a restrictive, old and old (compared to programmers) "reverse bone boy" like Leohagen.

Having said that, this Leo Hagen seems really sad.

Lu Chi and Yue Bin looked at each other. Considering Leo Hagen's overly sensational explanation and the deliberate meeting, Lu Chi and Yue Bin vaguely sensed Leo Hagen's thoughts.

Sure enough, when Lu Chi and Yue Bin were silently pondering, Leo Hagen, who had finished laying out the previous story, asked boldly: "...If I say, I want to go back to Modun again, and I want to continue to complete The project I was working on before, are you willing to give me this chance and trust me again?"

Lu Chi and Yue Bin looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, Lu Chi said, "Tell me about your request."

Leo Hagen's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "I just want to go back to Mordun and continue working."

Leo Hagen looked at Lu Chi and Yue Bin, and said sincerely: "I know that what I did before hurt you, as well as the interests of the campus network and even Modun. I don't want to explain too much, I just hope , you can give me a chance. I heard that Dongfang Modun is currently researching the function of installing a camera on a handheld computer. And the touch screen function that I led the technical team to develop has not made much progress—”

"How do you know that the touch screen project has not made much progress?" Lu Chi suddenly interrupted Leo Hagen's words and asked a question.

Leo Hagen smiled slightly: "Although I have left Mordun, after all, I have worked in Mordun for so many years, and I know many things well - if the touch screen function has been perfected or has made great progress, Dongfang Mordun Dun should start planning new product releases. However, until now, as far as I know, Dongfang Modun has no plans to release new products.”

After a pause, Leo Hagen asked again: "I heard that you are planning to cooperate with the fruit company?"

Lu Chi didn't answer.

Leo Hagen didn't expect him to get any useful information from Lu Chi and Yue Bin, and immediately said: "If I can go back to Mount Dun, I can promise, sign a confidentiality agreement and a letter of commitment, promise I will stay and work in Modun all my life—as long as Modun doesn’t reject me for no reason and make things difficult for me during work, I am willing to devote the rest of my life to Modun.”

Hearing this, Lu Chi and Yue Bin looked at each other again.Yue Bin said, "I need to go back and have a meeting to discuss it."

Leo Hagen nodded.Seeing that it was late, he got up and said, "I will wait patiently for your news. Wish me good luck."

Seeing the back of Leo Hagen leaving slowly in uniform, Lu Chi and Yue Bin were relatively speechless.

The next morning, Lu Chi directly called everyone to Dongfang Modun for a meeting.The shareholders and senior managers of the original Morton originally thought that Lu Chi wanted to discuss the cooperation process between Oriental Morton and Fruit Company, but they did not expect that Lu Chi directly mentioned the matter of Leohagen at the meeting.

The original CEO of Modun was silent for a long time, and said hesitantly: "In terms of technical ability, Leo is indeed one of the most talented among us. I believe that if he is in charge, the progress of the touch screen function will be faster and more perfect. .”

Seeing this, some of the former Morgan Dun managers also spoke out to echo the CEO—in fact, they were speaking for Leo Hagen inside and out—including part of the original Morgan Dunn R&D team who had talked to Leo Hagen. Senior R&D personnel.

Of course, there are also some people who are always brooding over Leo Hagen's betrayal and have a grudge in their hearts.But no matter what, Leo Hagen is everyone's old friend for decades after all. They once worked together to create the brand of Mordun.Even if they parted ways later... People will never forget the passion they fought together when they were young.

What's more, Leo Hagen's betrayal was largely due to the difference in business philosophy, not because of interests.With that in mind... of course more people miss Riohagen.

And the emotions of these people, Lu Zhi and other shareholders of the campus network, cannot be ignored.In addition, Leo Hagen also gave his greatest sincerity.So after a serious discussion, everyone still decided to let Leo Hagen return to Mordun—but not as the head of the R&D department of Eastern Mordun, but as an ordinary researcher.At the same time, Leo Hagen had to sign an extremely demanding employment contract to see the aftermath.

Despite this, Leo Hagen, who had been looking forward to this moment, accepted the new contract without hesitation, and returned to Morgan Shield very low-key on the day the contract was signed.

Leo Hagan's low-key return has not attracted the attention of the outside world.Because just a few days later, on a certain day in late March 2003, country M, which has been promoting hegemony around the world, suddenly attacked a country in the Middle East.The sudden outbreak of war caused an uproar all over the world.

However, what surprised the global financial market was that on the morning when the news of the war spread, after the stock market and futures markets opened, Huaxia's financial genius, who had been attracting much attention, did not immediately enter the futures market. Led Eric & Lu Assets and some other elite traders, they shorted the tourism and aviation industries of country M in the first place.
