My Age of Investment

  Chapter 59 Recruiting Soldiers (2)

  Time entered 2003, students began to return to school one after another, and the second semester of courses was about to start.

  The foreign girl and the little dog also went back to school, and the big and small bags brought a lot of things.

  As soon as he returned to the dormitory, the little dog lay on the bed, looking overworked.

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Are you a kidney overdraft?"

  Hearing this, the little dog immediately turned over and said mysteriously: "I brought you a gift, you absolutely love it."

  Xia Jingxing gave a dry cough, then glanced back, Cui Zhiren didn't pay attention to them at all, and played the game seriously alone at the desk.

   "Take it out quickly!"

  The little dog thief laughed twice, began to flip through the schoolbag, found a big box, and handed it to Xia Jingxing, "It's all fresh, and I haven't even had time to appreciate it."

  Xia Jingxing snatched the box over, opened it and looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes, you guys have a conscience."

  The little dog smiled, and he knew that the boss would definitely like this gift.

  There are not many other things in his uncle’s house, only this kind of stuff is piled up like a mountain.

   "Bang Bang", there was a knock on the door.

  The little dog ran to open the door and found that it was Christina.

  The foreign girl held two gift boxes and said with a smile: "This is a New Year gift for you."

   "I have a share too!"

  The little dog looked flattered.

"certainly."

  The foreign girl handed the box above to the little dog.

  Xia Jingxing also walked over, took it and continued, feeling quite heavy.

   "Take it apart and take a look."

  Xia Jingxing nodded and said hello, and began to unpack the beautifully packaged gift box in person.

   After opening the gift box, he found a pair of white Nike running shoes and said with a smile: "Kristina, I like this gift so much.

  With such a soft and comfortable sole, I think I can run two more miles a day with it. "

  When Americans give gifts, the recipient of the gift must be the face of the giver to open the gift, and make a positive evaluation of the gift to express their affection.

  Xia Jingxing This is also going to the countryside to follow the customs.

  Sure enough, after hearing Xia Jingxing’s evaluation of the gift, the baboon's smile became more intense.

  The little dog also opened the gift and found that it was a pair of headphones. He also hurriedly followed Xia Jingxing and put a bunch of rainbow farts, which made Xia Jingxing goose bumps.

  Xia Jing had an idea, "Kristina, I also have a gift for you."

  After finishing speaking, Xia Jingxing turned back to the cabinet next to the desk and took out a bottle of Lao Ganma who had not been opened, and handed it to Christina.

   "Is this a snack?"

  Looking at the big glass bottle, the foreign girl has a black question mark face.

   "Yes, this is the top snack in China. Take a spoon and eat it. It will definitely bring a brand new experience to your taste buds."

   "Oh, then I will try."

  After Kristina left, she closed the door of the dormitory, and the little dog entangled Xia Jingxing to ask for gifts.

Xia Jingxing was helpless, and threw a packet of hot pot bottoms to the little dog, and asked him to use it to boil the soup to nourish the yin and strengthen the yang.

  …………

  …………

  The next day.

  Xia Jingxing and the three came to the principal’s office and visited Old Man John, hoping to get help from him.

  Xia Jingxing said directly, "We are in urgent need of a mature technical team, Mr. Hennessy, can you recommend it?"

  Old man John nodded, "Yes, how much salary can you offer?"

   "The salary will not be too high, compared to the outside company, or even slightly less, but we can take out a part of the option as compensation."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “We only get 500,000 yuan in financing now, and the funds are not very ample. I think we should save some use in case of emergency.”

  Old man John nodded and smiled. He started his own business. Of course, he knows the difficulties of start-up companies, and he also understands some of the tricks.

  Taking options and equity to offset wages is a helpless move for many start-up companies that cannot afford high-end talents, and it is also a way to save money.

  Compared with the dilution of equity, joining talents, accelerating development, rapidly expanding the scale of the company, and maintaining sufficient reserves of cash are the most important things for a company.

  "How many options can you take out? If you don't have it, you can't attract good talents to join."

  Old man John has the ability to help, but the conditions must be clear.

  "Hire five programmers, each with a 0.5% option, and an additional salary equal to the market price."

  Old man John looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile, and said faintly: "You are quite generous."

   "It's not good to be ungenerous. When someone came for an interview and saw our humble office, they might turn around and leave."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "When one day I move into a luxurious office building, there will be no such good conditions.

  But the premise is that someone must first help me improve the product and get the A round of financing. "

   "Okay, I recommend it to you."

  Old man John said kindly, "But it's up to you whether you can keep someone."

   "I believe they will like this kind of vibrant company with infinite possibilities."

  After talking about this, Xia Jingxing talked about the CPT internship outside school.

  Old man John nodded after listening, "It's easy."

   Then he waved a big hand and called in the assistant of the principal’s office, and took Xia Jingxing and the three to go through the relevant procedures.

  Originally, a newly established company like Facebook did not have the qualifications to recruit Stanford students for internships.

  But where there are people, there is a relationship with society, so we must be close and close.

  The United States is no exception!

  Otherwise why the rich and the children of upper-class families can get enough letters of recommendation for college applications.

  With John’s old hair, all kinds of processes are naturally smooth all the way.

  Xia Jingxing, as the company's management executive, signed the relevant documents on behalf of the company and the Stanford school.

  Since then, Facebook has become a legal off-campus internship organization for Stanford students.

After clearing the obstacles to recruiting Stanford students, Xia Jingxing set his sights on this group of cheap labor on campus.

   said it is cheap labor, but it is only relative to regular employees.

  In Xia Jingxing’s vision, five formal technical staff are indispensable.

   Facebook is developing faster and faster. Someone must always keep an eye on the backend of Facebook to prevent various problems, such as server crashes, network attacks, and so on.

  At the same time, a stable team is also needed to develop richer and more interesting functions in accordance with his product ideas.

  Interns cannot do this. In addition to poor technical strength and experience, time is also an issue.

  He didn't want to be at any important point. The students gave up their work and went to class. It was really a disaster.

  Although interns cannot do big jobs, they can also do small jobs.

  For example, contact other universities to let Facebook be stationed, help test products, plan some promotion plans, and so on.

  The number of people does not need to be too large, just have real talents and do it.

  The three quickly split up.

  Xia Jingxing went to the "Stanford Daily" David and Miller, and asked them to help post a recruitment notice, and what recruitment conditions need to be met.

  The foreign girl and the little dog are responsible for the interview questions.

  The two of them had no experience, so they simply asked Andrew to help, and asked the latter to find a familiar company to get some interview questions.

  The three people revised the interview questions they found according to the requirements of Facebook, and put together a new interview question.

  Can’t say how perfect it is, but it’s better than nothing.

  After all, the new company, everything is being created.

  　Thank you for your rewards! Ask for votes today! Everyone, smash the tickets!
