My Age of Investment

  Chapter 149 Listening to the voice of the grassroots

  Entering November, all Facebook employees are eagerly waiting for the memorable day to come.

  The total number of registered users of Facebook has exceeded 9 million.

  Breakthrough 10 million people, has entered the final countdown.

  At the same time, Facebook released a new version without major functional changes, but optimized existing functions and product modules.

  For example, searching for friends is more accurate, adding friends is faster and more convenient, and website browsing is smoother.

  This is also what Xia Jingxing has always asked the following technical team to polish and strive for excellence.

  The product development team led by Evans is very competent and strictly fulfills this requirement.

  …………

  …………

   "Ling Fan, Hao Yong, it's been so long since I joined the company, how do you feel? Are there any difficulties?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and looked at Ling Fan and Yang Haoyong who were sitting across from him.

   These two people were recruited into Facebook along with 10 other Chinese student programmers in the same period.

   is worthy of being a great man in the previous life. Apart from other abilities, the technical ability is really good.

  Needless to say, Yang Haoyong has several years of work experience in the field of network security and has accumulated a lot of experience.

  He took a few new employees to form Facebook’s own network security department, and has successfully thwarted several malicious traffic attacks.

   Facebook is now a big fan, naturally attracting a group of itchy hackers to weigh the weight of Facebook.

  Of course, the possibility of a jealous competitor deliberately stumbling.

  Dr. Ling Fan didn’t finish his studies, so he dropped out of school and started working on Facebook.

  Having little work experience is his biggest problem.

  But his basic skills are solid. After a few months of adaptation, he is now very handy in his work and has been praised by his superior Evans many times.

  Xia Jingxing has high hopes and great attention for these two people.

  At the same time, because the two performed well, Xia Jingxing asked them to talk.

   "It's all very good, the company atmosphere is very good, the leadership has no pretensions, and they have taught me a lot of things."

  Ling Fan smirked, he really felt that he had come to the right company.

   Facebook’s business is booming, and it will soon break through the 10 million user mark, and it will be the throne of social networking sites.

  His senior brother Wang Xiaochuan’s search engine project is still under development and has not been officially launched yet.

  Comparing the two to make the difference.

  Compared with Ling Fan, Yang Haoyong is much more mature, focusing on the current development status and future development direction of the network security department.

  He has now officially become the head of Facebook’s cyber security department. Although there are only a few people under his hand, he is considered to be among the management.

  After the company gets the A round of financing, it will carry out equity incentives. According to the rank, he can get a lot of shares, so he works very hard.

  The two people are different in age, in different positions, and in different ideas, but they all have one thing in common: I hope the company will develop better and better.

  This is the charm of equity incentives, allowing employees to follow the company and work hard.

  Xia Jingxing seldom asks questions and spends most of the time as a listener.

  Through listening to the opinions and opinions of employees, I found some details that I often did not discover or overlook.

  The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant nest.

  Sometimes a small problem, if you don’t pay attention to it, accumulates over time, it will become a big problem and a fatal problem.

  Managing a company is not an easy task. It is not only necessary to guard against external enemies, but also to internal management.

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "What about employees of other ethnicities? Are you going to have fun together after get off work?"

  Ling Fan shook his head. He was an honest child, and answered: “We can’t play with one piece. I’m often not interested in what they’re interested in.”

  Yang Haoyong understood the in-depth meaning of Xia Jingxing, and said with a smile: "Usually at work, the relationship between everyone is relatively harmonious, and cooperation is completely barrier-free.

   is just about life customs and consumption concepts, it is inevitable that there will still be some gaps.

  Our Chinese employees like to get together on weekends to eat Chinese food in San Francisco’s Chinatown, or we can cook together at home.

  They are not the same as whites and blacks, so they drive short trips and climb mountains on weekends..."

  Xia Jingxing nodded slightly. He has lived in Silicon Valley for so many years in his previous life, and he has a great understanding of these cultural differences and different concepts.

  He also does not expect Chinese employees and employees of other ethnicities to get along very happily in their lives.

  From his point of view, as long as you don’t have moths on your work.

   More than ten years later, an investigation agency conducted an investigation in Silicon Valley.

  In Silicon Valley employees, whites only account for 34%, and Asians account for 33%, which is similar to that of whites. In addition, Mexicans account for 25%, and the remaining share is blacks and other ethnicities.

  Among Asians, the proportions of Indians and Chinese, Chinese, and Chinese are evenly divided, about 15%.

  As Facebook continues to grow and develop, even if he does not deliberately recruit Chinese employees, the number of Chinese employees on Facebook will only increase.

  Racial discrimination is deeply ingrained in the United States. It happens outside of the country. He can't control it, and he can't manage it.

  He can only solve and handle his company's affairs well, and prevent related scandals from happening in his company and affect the company's development.

  Ling Fan and Yang Haoyong are relatively lucky, as he specially took care of his compatriots once.

  As long as these people do well on Facebook, he believes that everyone will get unimaginable financial freedom.

  In the future, he will not be able to recruit Chinese employees on a large scale and endlessly.

  On the one hand, there are restrictions on the number of work visas. On the other hand, most of the company's employees are Chinese, and it is easy to be labeled as racial discrimination-Facebook discriminates against whites! Discrimination against Americans!

  The previous Facebook was still a bit inconspicuous, but as the scale became larger and larger, the attention of the outside world became more and more. He must beware of cold arrows shot by competitors and cannot give others a handle.

   "Dalun, will we enter the Chinese market in the future?"

  Yang Haoyong asked with a smile, “I think the domestic Internet market is still quite large, and the number of Internet users is growing rapidly every year.”

"Correct!"

  Ling Fan nodded in agreement, “I also heard that several teams in China have announced their entry into the social field to start a business.”

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "I know this, but in the past year or two, we have no energy to take care of this matter.

  After the US and European markets have stabilized, this layout will be carried out. "

  Yang Haoyong nodded, “That’s right, eaby, Amazon, and Google are also doing this. After all, the current Chinese Internet market is still a bit too low in value.”

  Xia Jingxing felt that Yang Haoyong seemed to have an idea about exploring the Chinese market, so he smiled and said, “If the development goes well, the company can send you to the Chinese market for a try in the future.”

   "Send me?"

  Yang Haoyong pointed to himself in surprise.

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, Facebook has a lot of room for growth. As long as we have the ability and ideas, we will never be stingy with opportunities."

  Yang Haoyong really has some ideas, but it’s too early to talk about this.

  But the big Boss gave the opportunity, he still had to express himself, he smiled and said: "Well, when the time is right, I will give you a plan to enter the Chinese market."

  Xia Jingxing spread out his hands, smiled and said, "That would be the best!"

  Yang Haoyong also laughed.

  Ling Fan nodded secretly, and had to learn from old fritters like Brother Yong.
