Chapter 105: Reversal
The areas around universities like Tsinghua, Peking University, and Nanjing University enjoyed an unparalleled advantage in talent. Much like the Tsinghua Pioneer Park and Peking University Science Park, many companies could fully enjoy, utilize, and mobilize the regional human resources these universities provided.
This was also something many domestic internet companies had in common. Just as most of Baidu's first employees had been Li Yanhong's classmates and teachers at Peking University, Su Can's Facebook Chinese had initially recruited on campus.

Both Facebook Chinese and Facebook in the United States operated stock option incentive schemes. Depending on their job performance and results, the first batch of employees held options ranging from fifty thousand to ten thousand shares, and those amounts could increase through quarterly and annual outstanding
