My Age of Investment

  Chapter 228 On the right track

  The fourth floor where the YouTube company is located is very empty, with only a dozen employees working in an office close to a thousand square meters.

  Xia Jingxing paced, reminding the little dog and foreign girl who followed him as he walked.

  "The development of the YouTube website is not an easy task.

  What we want to develop is a video sharing website that is not available in the market. Many functions and designs such as video format conversion, user playback experience, one-click sharing, etc. require a lot of time and energy to explore.

  I have to stare here in the early stage. I will be involved in the structure and design of the website. "

   "Boss, don't you need to do this? You, a CEO, are going to focus on the development of a new product?"

  The little dog frowned, and then automatically asked, "Why don't you let me come, I think I can do the job."

  As the CEO of Facebook, there are more important tasks waiting for you. "

  Xia Jingxing shook his head. In his previous life, YouTube was a big success. He summarized a few points.

  First of all, the website launch time is very clever. At the beginning of 2005, users just had a demand, but they couldn't meet it. The emergence of the YouTube website filled the vacant role in the market.

  Secondly, there are many designs of the website that are in line with the wishes of the public, such as the display of video playback volume, which satisfies the user’s desire for comparison and vanity.

  If he let it go and let a dozen engineers develop freely, who knows what he will develop.

Whether    will be successful is still unknown.

  He joined, the purpose is to make many things controllable.

  Although there is still no guarantee of 100% success, if you do this, the success rate will definitely increase a lot.

  Kristina smiled and said: "Your kind of hands-on work reminds me of a person."

   "Who?"

Xia Jingxing looked at the foreign girl. The latter was wearing a professional skirt today, with a slim off-white plaid shirt wrapped around the plump upper circumference, and black stockings under the knee-length skirt, matching the height of 1.7 meters. People appear to be very tall and capable.

   "Jobs!"

  Kristina smiled happily, “This CEO is involved in every product design of Apple, and the control of details has become a kind of paranoia.”

  Xia Jingxing replied faintly, “Aside from personal morality, in business, he is a person to be admired.”

   "But only for business!"

  Kristina looked at Xia Jingxing, and said very seriously: “He abandoned his biological daughter Lisa and escaped his responsibilities as a biological father.

  In life, he is a bastard, not worthy of admiration at all. "

  Xia Jingxing shrugged and did not refute this.

This matter is still to blame the old man Moritz of Sequoia Capital. At that time, Moritz was a reporter for Time Magazine. Not long after Macintosh Computer went public, this old man accidentally took the Jobs also stabbed an unmarried illegitimate daughter.

  Jobs refused to admit that this daughter was his own, and refused to pay support.

  His ex-girlfriend worked as a cleaner, ate assistance, and couldn’t afford to support her daughter, so she sued Jobs and did a paternity test.

  Afterwards, it was proved that Lisa was indeed Jobs’ biological daughter, and there was no way to deny it.

  This incident occurred in the early 1980s and caused a big blemish in the life of the new generation of business leader Steve Jobs.

  Xia Jingxing feels that Kristina’s attack on Jobs from the perspective of a woman is understandable and normal.

   "Are you dressed so formal today? Are you going to an important meeting?"

  Xia Jingxing looked at Christina and asked the latter.

   "Yes, a gathering of female executives from Silicon Valley startups and venture capital companies. They also sent me an invitation letter."

The foreign girl smiled and said, "All the people who attended the party were big people, Marissa Meyer, the vice president of Google, known as the No. 1 beauty in Silicon Valley, Magdalena Yesil, the founding investor of Salesforce, and the co-president of Oracle. Safra Katz, Hewlett-Packard Global Vice President Livo More..."

  Xia Jingxing heard that the specifications were high, and the most powerful women in Silicon Valley were all caught up in one go.

  Compared to those big companies, Facebook is still almost in size.

  However, Yang Niu is the co-founder and shareholder of Facebook, which makes up for the lack of size.

  So being invited to the conference is not really outrageous.

   "Then you have to pay attention when you go!"

  Xia Jingxing reminded with a smile.

   "Pay attention to what?"

  Xia Jingxing scanned the foreign girl from head to toe, jokingly: "Be careful not to steal the limelight from those old women.

  Mayer is the youngest among them, and he is almost 30 years old.

  As soon as you go, you still haven’t taken away the title of No. 1 beauty in Silicon Valley. "

  The foreign girl smiled without saying a word, her face was calm, she was still very happy in her heart.

  It is impossible for her to feel wronged in order to please others.

  She just wants to dress more beautifully, so as not to be underestimated by those old women.

  The little dog nodded fiercely from the side, "Meyer is actually that way, not good-looking at all. I heard that Larry Page had an appointment with her. What kind of perspective?

  Maybe her vice president position was made on a date. "

  Speaking of this, the little dog gave Xia Jingxing a look that a man understands.

  There is actually a lot of gossip in Silicon Valley, and a lot of peachy news.

  As a chief information officer, Little Dog is naturally observant and listening.

   "I let you be the CIO, you can ask me about gossip in one day."

  Xia Jingxing raised his hand, ready to pack up the puppy.

  The little dog smiled and quickly avoided.

  The foreign girl gave her a white look. "Mayer is not a vase. She got a master's degree in computer science at Stanford at the age of 24. She joined Google in 1999 and is Google’s 20th employee, and the first female engineer and product manager.

   And she is still a big fan of Facebook, I often chat and interact with her on Facebook.

  I went to this meeting, the main purpose is to see if I can bring some cooperation resources to Facebook. "

  Xia Jingxing gave the foreign girl a thumbs up, "This is a good idea, hurry up and blend it!"

   "Then I am leaving now?"

   "Go, try to sign a $100 million contract to come back."

  Xia Jingxing said with a smile, pure ridicule, and did not expect the foreign girl to negotiate any great contract orders.

  After the foreign girl left, Xia Jingxing looked sparsely at the dozen or so employees sitting at the workstation, clapped their hands, and shouted, "Guys, come here, everyone. Let’s have a meeting."

  A dozen employees moved their chairs and gathered around.

   "Does everyone know about the next development content?"

  The employees all nodded. When Chief Human Resources Officer Luo Li asked them for an interview, she made it clear that the company will develop a video website next.

  For this, all employees who were transferred to the oil pipeline also signed a confidentiality agreement.

  "Some people may not know how awesome the YouTube website is and how epoch-making.

  I now tell everyone that this is a product that can be compared with Facebook’s text socialization and picture socialization.

  The company attaches great importance to this project. In addition to recruiting the most elite employees, that is, you, to participate in this development task, it will also provide other human and material support.

  At the same time, I will also join the development team as a product manager.

  In the next two months, I will work together with you to complete the development tasks.

  In response to this development task, the company provided an option incentive worth nearly 6 million U.S. dollars..."

  The employees looked at Xia Jingxing and showed longing eyes, as if there was a flame burning in their eyes.

  Most of them have yet to get the option on Facebook.

  And this time, the reward is close at hand. It only takes two months to get things related to future wealth and freedom.

  Everyone is eagerly eager to start working now and develop the YouTube video site tomorrow.

   After finishing the pre-war mobilization, the construction began.

  Little Dog also returned to the second floor of the company, and he has work to do.

  More than a dozen employees responsible for the development of video websites were all called into the meeting room by Xia Jingxing.

  He opened the PPT that he had made in memory these days, and began to explain to the employees YouTube’s website design, functional logic, implementation path, and so on.

  Employees are taking notes and asking questions from time to time.

  When someone asked a question, Xia Jingxing stopped the introduction and patiently answered and explained each employee’s question.

  It took a few days to sort out all the functions and requirements, and the development of the website was finally on track.

  　 Chapter three, there is one more chapter later.
