Wall Street Legend

Chapter 141 Harbor Island (44)

Mr. Alfred has a bad temper.

As the director of Facebook, he is destined to establish prestige in front of employees. Not long after the Internet company started its business, he has fired no less than five interns one after another because they could not complete the tasks perfectly.

Ye Dongqing was not at home, and all management matters were left to him. At this moment, Mr. Alfred put down his cell phone with a depressed look. He had just called his wife and told him that he might be going to work in Silicon Valley.

The boss gave a very clear answer about relocation, so we should consider issues such as children's education and renting a house now. By the end of the year at the latest, some employees will go to Silicon Valley to start a new life.

Speaking of which, when I decided to leave Microsoft, it was precisely because I wanted to move back to New York to reunite with my wife and family. However, I had just been working in New York for a few months, and I actually wanted to go to the West Coast again. It cannot be said that the environment in Silicon Valley is not good enough. It’s just that life will be too dull and not as exciting as New York.

It's different than at Microsoft.

He missed the golden period of joining Microsoft. As a small supervisor, Mr. Alfred was not eligible to receive option awards. There were too many leadership employees with higher positions than him, and since the mid-to-late 1990s, life has always been the same. , becoming less and less passionate, feeling that the end of life can be seen at a glance.

Facebook is a newly founded company with unlimited potential. As a "veteran employee", Ye Dongqing gave Mr. Alfred enough power. This feeling is quite good, so there is no need to move to Silicon Valley. Too much complaints, but full of expectations.

He walked out of his office, clapped his hands to ask people to stop working, and said loudly: "Everyone! I have important news for you. Boss Leo has decided to move our company to Silicon Valley this year and will rent a new building there. Office space, servers purchased from Oracle will also be placed there!

New York has restricted its development. The company needs more talents to help develop better products, which will take about three months. There is still time to slowly prepare. If you don’t want to work, that’s fine. Someone will soon take over your job, and in the future you will receive stocks and bonuses. When Facebook goes public, you will suddenly become a millionaire!

Think about it carefully, which Internet company has been developing faster than us recently? The opportunity to make money and succeed is here. I hope you can use your brain more to think about the future and don't miss such a rare opportunity. When the grading system is implemented, employees who are willing to follow the past will be promoted to a higher level, which means that it is possible to obtain equity. Rewards and more salary, OK, get on with it. "

Such breaking news made many employees dumbfounded. After Alfred finished speaking, he returned to the office, leaving the talking employees to discuss among themselves.

To be honest, with Facebook’s benefits and potential, there is no need to worry about recruiting suitable new employees, especially when job opportunities are decreasing. Alfred is not worried at all that someone will leave. There are countless talents in Silicon Valley. I'm worried about where to work, so I'll just look for another job.

Going to Silicon Valley will help the company develop better. Neither Ye Dongqing nor he will give up on this decision just because of the opinions of some employees.

Plans such as renting or purchasing office space and recruiting employees in Silicon Valley can already be put on the agenda. Mr. Alfred is making phone calls one by one to contact his acquaintances working in Silicon Valley and asking them to help give good suggestions. Pay attention. Find out where suitable office space is available...

Puchuan Building.

Zhao Liuli is studying mathematics with the help of a tutor, while Laura is helping to feed the fish. Every time he thinks of Ye Dongqing abandoning him and going to a beautiful island for vacation alone, he gets angry. Mainly because he is angry that he cannot go, and part of him also feels that he Because of not being taken seriously.

How to put it, although she didn't have too high expectations and had clearly realized that Ye Dongqing was no longer the same Ye Dongqing as before, she still hoped that the guy would pay more attention to her instead of going to the beach to fish and swim alone after sleeping. , spoonful after spoonful, taking revenge on these arowanas he liked.

She was just a little uncomfortable, not too angry. After all, Ye Dongqing was usually pretty good to her, and there was no commitment between them. They were not lovers. Suddenly, she was shocked to realize that she had become a billionaire. This made Laura think of I feel that I should work harder, otherwise I will soon become a person in two worlds.

Regret is certain. Looking at the beautiful arowanas chasing dried shrimps in the tank and eating them one by one, Laura muttered to herself angrily: "Why didn't you partner with him in the first place? Anyway, I had no money even if I lost money. Compensation, you should agree..."

*************

Paradise Island in the Bahamas is famous for its Atlantis hotel.

More famous than it is Harbor Island. Coral debris accumulates on the beach of this island over the years, forming a pink sand beach, paired with the blue sky and sea, it is simply intoxicating.

Fortunately, it was a sunny day. It took more than 40 minutes to fly over by seaplane. Miss Mahi finished practicing again and was going to snorkel near Harbor Island today to see the underwater fish and coral reefs. The two of them were walking on the beach at the moment. , an old man came over, holding a portrait in his hand, and told him that he could paint one for them for only sixty dollars.

Before Ye Dongqing could speak, Miss Mahi declined politely. After walking more than ten meters, she smiled and said: "Actually, that gentleman's paintings are not very good. If you want me to paint, that's fine. Alumni often He earned tuition by painting for people on the streets of Paris, and occasionally commissioned murals and the like. Some people even placed their own sculptures on the Place de la Concorde.

Harbor Island always inspires me. After I go back to school, I will try to create a few paintings in pink. If you don't mind, please leave me your address. It's a thank you for teaching me how to swim. What do you think? "

"Okay, draw me some flamingos."

Ye Dongqing didn't know why he was talking about flamingos. He only remembered where he had seen such patterns and continued: "You can also draw tigers, cats, etc. I remember you said that you are trying animal themes recently. If one day If you become as famous as Rich Denstine and Keith Haring and others, I'll make a lot of money."

"Don't laugh at me. Men always have more chances to become famous than women in the field of artistic creation. In fact, I wanted to give you a landscape painting, but... flamingos are also fine. It seems to be very interesting."

"Then when we get to the hotel, I will send you my address, which is on Fifth Avenue. If you can come here in person, I will take you shopping."

To be honest, Ye Dongqing didn't know what he was doing. He should have been more proactive. If things continued like this, they would almost become friends. However, Maxi had a great personality and was pretty good as a friend. He always felt that there was nothing he could say. If appropriate, it will destroy the relationship just established in the past two days.

Unlike white girls, Chinese girls want more in terms of relationships. Ye Dongqing is not sure whether he can give Maxi what she wants.

After all, a vacation is just a vacation, and you will return to normal life. Maybe the other person has always had this kind of personality, but Ye Dongqing is not...
