My Age of Investment

After a few days of fermentation, Facebook completely became popular on the Stanford campus.

The competition for the top ten lists on the homepage of the website has also become more intense.

Those who are on the list want to keep their rankings and even go further;

Those who are not on the list want to be on the list.

This has led to the use of a large number of girls' roommates, classmates, clubs, societies, sororities... and other organizational relationships.

A large number of Stanford students either voluntarily or were forced to sign up for Facebook accounts.

This registration, all right.

Girls can't move their legs, boys can't move their eyes.

Men care about women, and women care about men.

The sensible boys have uploaded their sexy photos, and the silly otaku is still desperately liking and canvassing for his goddess.

Xia Jingxing, the initiator behind all this, went to class every day and looked at the background data of the website. He lived a very comfortable life.

The "beauty pageant" battle of the website no longer needs him to add things to it, just let it develop naturally.

When the number of website registrations exceeded 5,000, the dog came to report the good news.

Xia Jingxing did not lift his eyelids and nodded, indicating that he knew, and was extremely calm.

The dog thought that the boss was dissatisfied with this result, and explained: "I just counted the grades of all the registered students and found that most of them are undergraduates, and the graduate students seem to be a little indifferent to all this.

There are only more than 7,000 undergraduates at Stanford, and more than half of them have signed up for our software.

The other half, if nothing else, most of them should also join in slowly.

Graduate school is a bit difficult. I asked an old man in the research institute, and he told me: Many graduate students are adults, and they have worked for a period of time, and their minds are relatively mature.

Compared to socializing on campus, these people are more concerned about academics.

What I think about is not academics, but to get a degree as soon as possible and return to the workplace for promotion and salary increase. "

Xia Jingxing nodded and said with a smile, "It's alright, the graduate school doesn't care about him, we just focus on the undergraduate students.

When Facebook becomes an indispensable social software in the future, they will have to use it for Lao Tzu whether they want it or not. "

The puppy applauded, "Boss, you are so right. It was me who was blind and fell into a blind spot of thinking.

After you mentioned this point, I feel that all the problems are suddenly clear.

I understand that our number one priority is to make Facebook popular among young people.

Finally, "break the face with a point" to establish the victory in one fell swoop. "

Xia Jingxing laughed, this dog's puppy is getting more and more powerful, he is good at flattering.

"Christina has been in charge of promotion and outreach for the website, and I'm in charge of technology and operations with you."

Xia Jingxing paused and thought about it, some words still had to be explained clearly.

So he went on to say: "I need to consider the long-term development strategy of the website next, and you need to pay more attention to technical matters."

The dog nodded, "I know, boss, don't worry, I don't dare to guarantee other projects, I am very familiar with the structure of Facebook.

Leave it to me, no problem. "

Xia Jingxing nodded, "In addition to these, you have to gain more insight into the needs of users, and strive to improve and strengthen the functions of the website."

"This really needs to be paid attention to. I have heard many users complain that our website is still too "dead". It would be nice if there was more interaction."

Xia Jingxing understood what the puppy meant and said with a smile, "It's not possible now, our technical team is limited and cannot support such rich functions.

When the time is right, it will naturally carry out a new round of major renovations to the website. "

"Speaking of the technical team, I have some ideas."

Xia Jingxing asked with a smile, "What are your thoughts? Tell me about it.

If it makes sense, I support it.

The website is shared by everyone, not me alone. Of course, we have to brainstorm and work together. "

Seeing that Xia Jingxing's expression did not seem to be fake, the dog said: "After the Facebook website became popular, someone from the Computer Society asked who developed it.

Yesterday, two people found our dormitory and asked if they could join us.

When you weren't there, I didn't make a statement, and I was going to ask your opinion. "

"How old is it?"

Xia Jingxing did not express his position directly, but asked what grade he was in. This question was very important.

"A senior."

Xia Jingxing frowned. Although senior students may be more skilled, time and energy are a problem.

In particular, senior students are still busy with graduation thesis and job hunting. How much energy can be devoted to the website is really a big question mark.

"Well, you invite them for me to meet and chat."

"it is good."

…………

…………

in a school cafe.

Xia Jingxing met two interviewers, one with a beard named Phyllis, and the other, a fat boy named Ryan, both of whom were white and in their early twenties.

The puppy greeted the two of them to sit down, and then asked the waiter to serve two cups of coffee.

"Daren, your Facebook site is so cool, we really want to join your team, I wonder if it's an honor?"

Fat boy Ryan was very talkative, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to pat Xia Jingxing's ass.

Xia Jingxing didn't want to eat this set. Wearing a hoodie, he looked like a technical geek. He put his hands in his pockets and asked directly, "Dude, what projects have you developed?"

The two of them are very fond of this set, blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Xia Jingxing had never heard of any of these projects, and directly asked technical questions. He also brought pen and paper to test the handwritten code.

The two were able to study in the Stanford Department of Computer Science, and they did not drop out of school until their senior year, proving that their learning ability is still possible.

In fact, the other party did not disappoint Xia Jingxing, the basic skills were solid enough to handle general programming work.

After confirming that it was not a parallel importer, Xia Jingxing also had the intention of soliciting, and asked with a smile, "You are all seniors, do you not plan to work in the future?"

Ryan did not expect Xia Jingxing to be so direct, and replied with a smile: "No one can tell what will happen in the future, at least we are most interested in Facebook right now."

Xia Jingxing was not too satisfied with this ambiguous answer. He recruited two programmers. If he ran away halfway through the job, who would he turn to for reasoning?

But Facebook doesn't even have a company yet, and it can't expect people to follow you with all their might. After all, not everyone is like a puppy.

"For Facebook, I plan to register a company and inject at least $500,000 into it."

Xia Jingxing said lightly, in that tone, it seemed that he was narrating a trivial matter.

The little dog also had a calm expression on his face, and he had no doubts about the strength of the boss.

Ryan and Phyllis were not so calm.

Phyllis, who had not spoken much, blurted out, "Daren, are you serious?"

"certainly."

Xia Jingxing shrugged and said with a relaxed expression, "Before the website was launched, I made an agreement with the two partners that if the website develops smoothly, a company will be established and 500,000 capital will be injected.

Looking at it now, the development of the website is not bad, quite in line with expectations. "

Ryan and Phyllis hesitated.

The two of them originally wanted to work part-time, and the salary didn't matter. They mainly wanted to get a closer look at this popular campus website.

Now hearing Xia Jingxing's determination and writing, he didn't know what to say.

Ryan was more thoughtful, and asked, "Daren, do you want to treat Facebook as a business? I mean the entrepreneurial kind, not just a hobby."

"Yes, a long-term career."

In front of the other two partners, Xia Jingxing put down his rhetoric, naturally he would not retain his strength in front of these two guys today.

This is the experience he has gained from starting a business in his previous life for more than ten years: when it is time to act coercive, he must not be soft-hearted.

"Then if we join in, do we have a salary to get it?"

When he heard that the other party planned to set up a company, Ryan's thoughts changed instantly.

This question was exactly what Xia Jingxing wanted.

Start-up companies recruit talents, either salary or shares, and they have to be given the same.

And Xia Jingxing would rather pay the salary.

Of course, this is when you have money and you have confidence in the company's development.

If you don’t have money, let’s issue shares honestly!

After all, before the company's success, no matter how many shares are waste paper, it is better to use it to recruit people and increase the probability of success of the business.

"Yes, not only salary, but also options."

Xia Jingxing paused, then said, "Of course, this is something that happened after the establishment of the company."

"When was the company established?"

Ryan is also a good person, and he grabbed the point right away.

There was no panic on Xia Jingxing's face, and he said calmly, "Three months later."

"Why three months?" Phyllis was puzzled.

"Because it will take me three months to win all the Ivy League schools and more than 80% of the universities in California."

To recruit talents to join, Xia Jingxing must properly reveal the company's vision and show off his muscles. Xia Jingxing knows this.

After a while, when the site expands and moves, these are no secrets.
