Rebirth 2003: Dominate the Tech World

The registered capital of Alphabet is 500,000.

Ye Yunzhou’s father invested 50 million in the company in the name of Red Letter Capital, accounting for 51% of the shares, and Ye Yunzhou held 49% of the shares, the same as Cambrian.

Regarding the equity structure, this is only temporary. In the future, if it is to be listed, it will definitely require financing and allotment of shares to the core team. Ye Yunzhou cannot eat alone. Companies that want to eat alone are generally difficult to grow, especially Internet companies.

However, Ye Yunzhou will also design some equity structures to firmly control the company. Otherwise, if he is kicked out by the company he founded, wouldn’t it be a big joke?

On August 12, 2003, Ye Yunzhou held the first meeting since the establishment of Alphabet.

At this time, a total of nine people, including Ye Yunzhou, including five executives and four technicians of the company, sat in the conference room. Ye Yunzhou sat at the main seat of the long table, and the other eight sat on both sides.

After everyone sat down, Ye Yunzhou began to speak.

“Everyone, first of all, on behalf of the company, I welcome you all to join us. Now the company is still in its infancy, but you must believe that any great company will grow from this stage. Just like the Cambrian Company I founded, it also started with a few people, and now it has become our Daxia’s largest e-commerce and online payment company. I believe that our Alphabet Company will one day become one of Daxia’s greatest companies, and then you will be the veterans of this great company. Let’s work hard together.”

After a shot of chicken blood, Ye Yunzhou began the theme of today’s meeting.

“Let’s talk about the main topic of today’s meeting. This topic is recruiting. At present, we are short of people in all departments. Zhao Man, you should work hard during this period and go to more college recruitment fairs. I need you to staff most of the staff within two weeks. In these two weeks, the rest of you should cooperate with Zhao Man to staff all departments as soon as possible. Otherwise, our products cannot be launched.”

Everyone nodded to indicate that it was no problem.

Then everyone began to discuss which personnel each department needs to be equipped with.

At present, the technical department also needs to be equipped with a system architect, who is mainly responsible for designing the system architecture to ensure performance and scalability. Of course, Ye Yunzhou can only feel assured if he is responsible for the system architecture of the core product. Who can compare with the super artificial intelligence Jarvis in the Marvel Universe in terms of code writing ability?

There are also database administrators who are responsible for managing the database and ensuring data security and integrity.

Network administrators are responsible for network architecture and security.

In addition, product managers are required to be responsible for product planning, design and management.

User experience designers (UI/UX designers) design user interfaces and experiences.

In addition, the technical department must also add graphic designers to create the visual elements and brand logos of the website.

Interaction designers focus on the design of user interactions.

Quality assurance (QA) engineers are responsible for testing products to ensure functionality and stability.

Although Facebook has been written, Alphabet cannot have only Facebook as a product, so these talents must be fully equipped early to start the development of the next product.

The marketing department currently needs to recruit marketing managers to formulate and implement market strategies.

Sales representatives are responsible for selling products or services.

Public relations specialists handle media relations and public relations activities.

In addition, Ye Yunzhou temporarily reorganized the two positions of content editor and SEO expert into the marketing department.

Content editor is responsible for writing website content or blog articles.

SEO expert is a person who optimizes website content to improve search engine rankings.

The human resources department needs to recruit human resources managers to be responsible for recruitment, training and employee benefits.

In addition, Ye Yunzhou temporarily reorganized the administrative assistant into the human resources department.

Administrative assistants are mainly responsible for handling daily administrative work, such as document management.

The finance department needs to recruit financial analysts to handle budgets, cost control and financial reports.

Accountants are responsible for accounting and tax affairs.

The customer service department mainly recruits customer service representatives to provide front-line support and solve customer problems.

Customer service representatives look inconspicuous but are one of the most important groups in the company. The quality of their service directly affects the user experience.

After several supervisors discussed and determined the positions and numbers that each department needed to recruit, everyone began to act. Although Zhao Man felt a little pressured, as a newly employed human resources supervisor, wasn’t this the time to prove her ability?

Everyone else was eager to work with Zhao Man to get the staff up and running as soon as possible, because they hadThe product was tested internally and it was felt that it would be a hit once it was launched.

“Xu Lei, you need to make a marketing plan as soon as possible. Once our product is launched, it will be up to your marketing department to promote it. My suggestion is to start from college and then gradually spread to all people.”

Xu Lei nodded and wrote down Ye Yunzhou’s suggestion in his notebook.

On August 13, 2003, Alphabet and Cambrian held a joint recruitment fair at major universities in Yanjing. This was of course planned by Alphabet to take advantage of the popularity of Cambrian.

Not to mention that such recruitment was very effective. When graduates came to Cambrian but were told that the company was full, Alphabet’s recruiters immediately jumped out.

They took printed posters to introduce the applicants. When everyone saw that the founders of Alphabet and Cambrian were the same person, they immediately felt that Alphabet, a newly established company, had become taller, because Cambrian was now too famous in Xiaguo.

The campus of Beihang University was crowded with fresh graduates because of the recruitment fair of Cambrian. However, the recruitment positions of Cambrian are always limited, and it is impossible to accommodate so many graduates.

At this time, people from Alphabet appeared.

……

“Dr. Liu, although our Alphabet company was just established, our company is very strong. Our founder, Mr. Ye Yunzhou, is the founder of Cambrian. The two core products of Cambrian were written by our founder. These can be verified.”

In response to Dr. Liu’s suspicious look, Zhao Man directly laid out Ye Yunzhou’s background.

Dr. Liu was shocked after hearing this. He was very yearning for Cambrian. For those of them who study computer network security, the incident that “Trading Treasure” invited hackers from all over the world to attack them some time ago can be said to be a global sensation.

He spent half a month studying the architecture of the “Trading Treasure” software. The more he studied, the more shocked he was. He didn’t understand what kind of genius could write such an architecture. He didn’t expect it to be written by this founder.

“Can I ask what product your company mainly produces?”

“Of course, this product was also written by our founder, you can try it.” Zhao Man said, opened her notebook, clicked on Facebook, and asked Liu Qi to try it out.

Well, the simple and intuitive interface makes it very convenient to create a personal profile, update status or upload photos. In addition, Facebook has introduced a series of innovative features, such as personal profiles, friend relationships, etc.

After experiencing the product, Liu Qi agreed to join Alphabet without thinking, and did not even ask about the salary and benefits, because he knew that this product would definitely be sought after once it was launched, and the prospects after joining the company now would definitely not be bad.

Liu Qi’s story is being staged in major universities.

In the past week or so, Alphabet has finally finished its own play by taking advantage of Cambrian. As of August 22, 2003, Alphabet has 98 employees, and members of all departments have been temporarily equipped.

August 23, 2003, was a day worth celebrating for Alphabet, because its first product, Facebook, was launched.

However, it is currently limited to C9 universities. Why can it only be registered in C9 universities? In fact, this is a marketing strategy.

Because C9 is the best 9 universities in Xiaguo, being limited to these 9 universities will bring an aura of exclusivity and elitism to Facebook. When it is gradually opened to other universities, this first-mover advantage and brand effect will help it quickly attract users from other schools.
