Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

Taking out the key from the mailbox at the door, Wang Zheng pushed the door open and went in.

This was also a start-up company before. The first floor is an office area and the second floor can accommodate accommodation.

After the original company went bankrupt, the bank took back the villa.

Before coming, the real estate agent had already cleaned up the house and provided simple desks and chairs. With computers and the Internet, you can work smoothly.

Wang Zheng came to the second floor, which was divided into two halves, one for accommodation and the other for working.

Although it is quite large, the conditions are relatively simple and incomparable to Jiujiantang.

But this is all temporary and will be reformed later.

The office area of ​​the entire house can accommodate about thirty people, which is enough for the initial stage.

This small area of ​​Charter Road is basically filled with villas of this kind, and there are very few shops. You have to go to the nearby Zilk Road to find various shops.

As for transportation, he hasn't had time to take the driver's license test yet, so he hasn't bought a car yet, so he can only use the bicycle in the house for the time being.

The first thing to do now is to order a Meta company sign to hang at the door, and then recruit a personal secretary and a professional manager.

It belongs to the same operating model as when he first arrived in Shanghai and opened Huoyun. He paid people to hire people and left unfamiliar things to professionals.

The difference is that he now has more choices.

Because I have money!

Wang Zheng contacted Heidrick and Struggles and Korn Ferry, two of the world's largest headhunting agencies, based on the contact information provided by Lan Xi.

The American League's headhunting agencies are very active.

Many senior talents sign contracts with headhunting agencies, which let them plan their careers and even annual salary increases.

Therefore, enterprises also rely heavily on the services provided by headhunting agencies. It is not enough to rely on the company's own human resources department. Senior management talents are basically provided by headhunters.

Wang Zheng offered a senior annual salary of 500,000 for the position of professional manager, which was a lot of money in 2006.

Gates' basic annual salary at Microsoft is about the same.

Of course, Wang Zheng's requirements are also very high. He must have rich experience in the Internet industry, preferably with entrepreneurial experience.

The annual salary of a personal assistant is not that high, 30,000.

Wang Zheng said that he would sign a long-term contract with whichever company recommended better talents.

Because Meta is a start-up company, the demand for talent will be very strong, and no headhunting agency will refuse such a good thing.

Stanford University produces high-level talents, so the two headhunting agencies have offices near Stanford University, and they quickly came to sign the contract and paid the deposit in advance.

In less than two days, Wang Zheng's mailbox contained two resumes for professional managers and two resumes for personal assistants.

Generally speaking, unless there are special requirements, headhunters will not recommend several people for the same position to choose from.

At present, Meta company has no products. It is impossible for some well-known professional managers to give up their current jobs and choose Meta.

Therefore, the people recommended by these two institutions are generally younger.

Wang Zheng took a look at it and immediately passed on Joyce Bart. His resume was very good, but he looked very menacing, and Wang Zheng found it difficult to work with him.

I opened Korn Ferry’s recommendation email again, and my eyes lit up.

Sheryl Sandberg, born in 1969, is now 37 years old. She graduated from Harvard University in Economics and received an MBA from Harvard University.

He joined Guge in 2001 as vice president of online sales. He is currently the vice president of AOL, which is Midland Online.

Wang Zheng had heard of AOL, a company that started out as a dial-up Internet company. It was once the largest Internet company in the United States. But then it failed and disappeared without a trace in the Internet tide.

Wang Zheng likes Cheryl very much, not because she is a woman, but also because she is quite beautiful.

She is 37 years old, married and has children.

She is the future COO of Facebook, nicknamed the Queen of Silicon Valley. If it weren't for her, Mark might not be able to make Facebook the scale it will be in the future.

Meta and Facebook have very similar structures and businesses. The founders of the company are young and understand technology, but they have no advantages in terms of connections, resources, and management.

If Cheryl can succeed at Facebook, there’s no reason why she can’t succeed at Meta.

It's her.

As for the assistant, I chose a recommender from Heidrick & Struggles, named Catherine, 23 years old, who graduated from Stanford Administration and Management and had been an intern in the campus office for half a year.

There is no other reason than to be beautiful and young!

Different from China, foreign countries are relatively open.

Under the same conditions, Wang Zheng certainly hopes that his personal assistant is a beautiful woman.

Catherine joined the company quickly and found her at the address the next morning.

Just like in the photo, he is white, blond, blue-eyed, tall, in good shape, and youthful.

"Hello BOSS, I am Catherine, and I will be your assistant from today on."

Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Welcome to Meta. Come in first, have you brought the contract?"

The employment contract was issued by Heidrick & Struggles. When hiring someone to work in the American League, a contract is a must. Wang Zheng sent it to Zhou Ruoyun last night to make sure there were no problems.

Catherine took out the contract from her backpack, Wang Zheng signed it readily and asked: "Catherine, can you drive?"

Seeing the beautiful white girl nodding her head easily, she immediately changed her clothes and prepared to buy a car.

Midland is a relatively large area, with supermarkets and other shopping malls very far away. It is really inconvenient without a car.

With the familiar Catherine leading the way, Wang Zheng successfully obtained his American driver's license.

It also fully told Wang Zheng the fact that this place is different from Daxia.

If you have money, you can really do whatever you want.

I bought two cars, a BMW to drive myself, and a Mercedes-Benz to give to the incoming CEO as an entry gift.

Now that he has a car, Wang Zheng goes on a shopping spree at Wal-Mart, mainly cooking pots, which are not available in the villa. These days, eating has been a very painful thing for Wang Zheng.

"BOSS, can you cook Chinese food?" Seeing the boss crazily putting condiments and food for Chinese food in the shopping cart, Catherine asked curiously: "Does our company provide Chinese food?"

Wang Zheng was stunned and said with a smile: "Do you like Chinese food?"

"I like it very much. There are international students from Daxia in the school. I occasionally have the opportunity to attend their parties and eat Mapo tofu and boiled beef."

Catherine couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she spoke.

"If you want, you can have dinner with me at noon."

It is not easy to cook for one person, but it is better for two people and there will be no waste.

What's more, eating with a beautiful woman is a kind of enjoyment in itself.

"YES!"

After returning to the second floor of the villa and entering his room, Wang Zheng started to cook, and then made his first Chinese meal after arriving in Midland, which was Mapo tofu and boiled beef.

Wang Zheng was not used to eating spicy food, but it was more in line with Catherine's taste.

Looking at the look in this girl's eyes, Wang Zheng suspected that she had bad intentions and wanted to eat him.
