Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

Meg Whitman glanced around with a stern face, and she suddenly discovered that all the faces in the conference room were still the same group of people half a year or even a year ago.

At this time, Whitman suddenly realized a problem.

Compared with paypal’s rapid promotion,

eBay is like a backwater!

Whitman's mind flashed through the information that he has been paying close attention to recently. In addition to the three people who have always been the CEO, SVP and CTO of Paypal, in the past year before November 2001, there were a lot more capable executives.

.

For example, David Sachs, the marketing president, switched jobs from McKinsey to Paypal. Since he went to Paypal, he has recruited many outstanding talents for Paypal, especially the person named Ning who he and other senior executives supported.

A young genius who is about to turn 18 years old.

However, his "Human-Machine Verification Program" reduced Paypal's fraud rate to 0.26%, which is actually 1/10 of the overall fraud rate on the Internet.

The "Paypal Payment International Station" project he led actually allowed Paypal to jump out of the situation of relying solely on the eBay platform and open up markets in many countries such as South America and Europe.

He led the PayPal team to find the direction almost by himself with the support of senior management.

Correspondingly, he was also promoted to coo of paypal!

Coo who is under 18 years old!

But what about "billpoint" they support?

Even if we acquire all the shares of "Billpoint" from Wells Fargo, the products and even the number of users cannot be compared!

Paypal now has 19 million users, and they have reached this number after 26 months of development. The important thing is that they have increased by 7 million users in the past three months, all after that young man was promoted to product manager last time!

You must know that it took eBay a full 4 years from the launch of its service in 1995 to the development of 10 million users!

And "billpoint", which has the official advantage of ebay,

The current number of users is less than half that of Paypal.

A team of 40 people is no better than one person!

Can you not be angry?

***+***

Ning Zimo suddenly shuddered. Inexplicably, he always felt a pair of eyes staring at him from the darkness. He quickly stood up, but this movement attracted a group of people behind him who were walking in his direction.

Sachs followed their gaze and said with a slight smile, "Although this year is not over, because we have separated more business from eBay, we have gained not only profits, but also our diversification.

Your efforts are starting to pay off.

Did you see that young man who suddenly stood up with a panic look on his face? He is our coo. It was he who brought us multiple projects consecutively starting in February. Our original non-Paypal auction business has grown from

30%, directly climbed to 50% in the third quarter, and even rose to 60% in October.

At the same time, we rely on eBay’s receipt payment business, and our sales have grown from US$550 million in the second quarter to US$750 million in the third quarter. This has accounted for 1/ of the total sales of goods on the eBay platform.

3.

In other words, although our proportion of transactions on the eBay platform has declined, it is indeed driven by businesses other than eBay, and the actual transactions are actually more."

Sachs's voice was not loud, and only the six McKinsey team members around him could hear him clearly. When he just mentioned Ning Zimo, several people glanced in Ning Zimo's direction.

Then, a woman on the McKinsey team suddenly realized.

That figure from the back seems to be a young flower-planting boy?

While Sachs was speaking, his eyes moved around on their faces, and he naturally saw the girl's doubts. After he finished speaking, he smiled and said to the girl, "Li, I remember you are a flower grower.

."

"Yes." The girl nodded slightly.

"As you can see, he is also a flower grower just like you, a genius." Sachs continued.

"oh……"

Li Suoran's action was indescribably dignified in Sachs's eyes. In comparison, he was a very different person, but the two of them had the same thing in common.

all young,

Gifted,

Just as diligent.

Thinking of this, Sachs shouted in the direction of Ning Zimo, "Hey, Ning, let me introduce to you the professional team of McKinsey & Company."

Ning Zimo turned his head when he heard the sound and saw Sachs and several unfamiliar faces around him.

But when he saw the girl among a group of middle-aged people, he was not unfamiliar at all.

Ning Zimo's eyes met hers in the air.

Looking at the young face she had never seen before,

Ning Zimo suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

He is not just a stranger to her,

It can be said that it is very familiar,

I really want to say something to her,

Long time no see,

Li Ying.

As the woman he admired most in his previous life, Ning Zimo knew a lot of Li Ying's stories.

But at that time, we were already in their 30s when we met each other, so naturally we had never seen her as beautiful as a young girl like she is now.

In her previous life, in 2010, Ma Yun, the head of the Ali Empire, went to Silicon Valley to offer her an olive branch when she was only 30 years old at the time.

Subsequently, Li Ying took the position of managing director of Yunfeng Fund with her experience gained in McKinsey, UTStarcom and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers in the United States, and was responsible for the fund's high-tech, new energy, cultural industry, and consumer services

investments in other fields.

Yunfeng Fund is a private equity fund that has reached a scale of 10 billion in its early stages of development.

At that time, Li Ying was in charge of tens of billions of funds at the age of 30.

The reason why she was able to achieve such achievements at the age of 30 is because Li Ying's growth rate is much ahead of her peers.

When others were still in high school, she entered college at the age of 17. Not long after others entered college, she graduated from college at the age of 20.

In three years of college, she earned a bachelor's degree in computer science, a bachelor's degree in economics and a master's degree in electrical engineering and computer science from the prestigious MIT in the United States.

It usually takes about 5-6 years for people to get two bachelor's degrees and a master's degree in Massachusetts, but Li Ying shortened the time to 3 years!

It can be said that it was her choice to sacrifice sleep that led to the strange woman he saw in his previous life.

It was already too late when I met him in my previous life.

Now looking at the tenderness on her face,

Ning Zimo had some ideas.

"So, now the entire development team is centered on Ning, and then uses this system called Nuwa to execute the projects he defined step by step. Overall, this is how efficient we are in development."

After Sachs finished speaking, he turned on the light again and looked at the McKinsey team. The company was about to go public and there were many things that needed to be standardized. In the past few days, people from McKinsey had given some preliminary suggestions, which made him feel that he had gained a lot.

He had just brought Ning Zimo to give a lecture on the development team's workflow, but this time he was a little surprised. The McKinsey team members who had given suggestions many times in the past few days all turned their attention to the young girl named Li.

In front of everyone, Li Ying stared at Ning Zi who was sitting opposite her and said silently: "I think you are ahead of almost all companies in terms of software project development process."

Ning Zimo was happy when she heard this. If this were to happen 10 years later, or even 20 years later, it would be difficult to hear her affirmation.

Li Ying pointed to the faintly visible content on the projection screen and explained patiently, "This software called Nuwa was suddenly rolled out across the entire U.S. hardware industry in June this year. It was almost initiated by senior engineers within the company.

.

It is because its joint collaboration efficiency is very high and it is the only such product in the industry that it quickly occupied the market.

Until August, some medium-sized enterprises began to gradually accept the enterprise version of Nuwa. In the past two months, we have encountered customers using Nuwa software to improve development efficiency. But you have already started using this software in May.

, I think Ning is very forward-looking in this aspect..."

Business blowback?

Li Ying knows how to do this.

This was the first time Ning Zimo met, but he also noticed that Li Ying's understanding of Nuwa software was unexpectedly high. Nuwa did not make a big move until the end of May, after he had dealt with eBay's attack.

brought to market.

Because Nuwa's professionalism and particularity are aimed at the programmer community, and it is the only product of this kind on the market. And programmers are not self-conscious people, so he only relies on the forum and the public beta.

Just dial "tap water" and Nuwa can be easily promoted.

At the end of July, after Paypal accepted the layout of the enterprise version, Han Qinghua and Lu Zhenyu also gained new experience. Under the instruction of Ning Zimo, they listed the layout of the enterprise version into a set of lesson plans, and combined with four local engineers,

The US office of Luban Technology was established in mid-August.

By November 8th, exactly two months have passed. Luban Technology’s US office already has 10 employees, temporarily led by Lu Zhenyu. At present, apart from fixed expenses and personnel salaries, only Nuwa can bring Luban Technology

Net income of US$70,000 per month.

You know, including the engineer team in the special zone, there are now 45 Luban employees in the two rice farming areas.

Moreover, according to Li Ying, some McKinsey clients have equipped their IT departments with Nuwa software, which has proven that Nuwa has a pretty good market share and potential.

Since then, the goal set before departure of "a net income of US$50,000 per month by the end of 2001" is expected to be doubled after this year.

Ning Zimo was quite happy thinking about taking some time out of his busy schedule to accomplish these small gains.

And the small meeting he temporarily participated in has come to an end.

After chatting for a while, Sachs saw that today's plan had taken an unexpected turn, and the time had already reached 18:00, so he simply ended it, "Okay, in that case, let's end our work today."

Ning Zimo nodded to him, greeted the members of the McKinsey team respectively, and then went out on his own. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the corner of the conference room, he heard a familiar call behind him. He was stunned for a second.

Only then did Zimo realize that it was a female voice shouting in Chinese?

She also called him by his name - Ning Zimo?

Ning Zimo, who was full of doubts, turned around and saw Li Ying behind him looking at him with a sly expression.

Now, Ning Zimo was even more curious.

Could it be the ties from the past life?

Will it still be relevant to this life?

When I first introduced you, I only introduced my last name but not my first name because of English.

So, how does she know my name?

"The founder of Nuwa Software that Lu Zhenyu mentioned is you?"

!!!

Li Ying's face remained cunning, but these words shocked Ning Zimo.

If she hadn't been speaking in Chinese, he would have jumped up and covered her mouth.

Although, that would be a more erotic touch.

but,

Why?

In the midst of doubt,

Ning Zimo felt a "demon wind" coming from behind him, only to hear a familiar clear shout, and Lavigne "hanged up".

Her chin was still on Ning Zimo's shoulder, and she glanced at Li Ying, asking half-questioningly, "Is there still work?"

Li Ying looked at the strange scene in front of her, her eyes suddenly curved like crescent moons, "It's gone."

"Then can I take him away?"

"sure."

One was standing, and the other was lying on Ning Zimo's shoulder. Across him, the two beautiful girls had a brief conversation.

Ning Zimo could feel the expressions of his colleagues looking at him with teasing smiles, and when he was helpless, he suddenly gave him a sweet kiss.

When the kiss was almost suffocating, Lavigne let go,

Punk girl with a serious expression,

"Tomorrow is your birthday, I want to be with you as soon as possible!"

In the peripheral vision, the corners of Li Ying's mouth were also curved like a crescent moon.
