  Chapter 64 Recruiting Soldiers (End)

   "Evans, this is our office. It's relatively rudimentary. But rest assured, we won't stay here forever."

  Xia Jingxing walked into the office, smiled and greeted the five people behind him.

  The foreign girl and the little dog also greeted them, and greeted the five people one by one.

  These five people are the backbone of the technical team that Principal John asked him.

The person headed by    is called Evans, who once served as the CTO of a small startup company.

  With the Internet bubble, Evans’s startup company also closed down.

  Now he is looking for work everywhere. After Principal John knew about it, he recommended Xia Jingxing.

  Evans is wearing a rumpled hoodie, his hair is messy, and his image looks terrible.

  The other four programmers behind him are also dressed similarly, and they don’t look any better than Evans’s image.

  But Xia Jingxing did not look down on the other party in the slightest, after all, it was just a momentary downfall.

  When that small startup was still there, it was as famous as Facebook today, but it was unlucky to catch up with the Internet's trough.

   "It looks good, can people live here?"

  Evans’s question can be stopped by Xia Jingxing.

  The little dog and the foreign girl were also shocked, and took a closer look at each other's clothing. Not to mention, they really look like homeless street performers.

   "Live in?"

  Xia Jingxing scratched his head, "Don't you have a place to live?"

  Evans shook his head, “I didn’t have money to pay the rent. The landlord drove me out, and now I live in a friend’s house.”

  This tragic situation is beyond Xia Jingxing's imagination.

   "In this way, I will rent you a house nearby, and you can just live in it directly.

  Salary, you can also pay you half a month in advance. "

  Evans was a little excited, "That's great, Darren, you helped me a lot."

  Xia Jingxing said, "What's the matter? Facebook has succeeded. I guarantee that each of you has a big house to live in and a luxury car to drive."

"hehe."

  Evans smiled faintly. He has already failed once, and he is no longer young. Naturally, he will not be filled with blood because of a fluttering sentence.

  Xia Jingxing saw that Evans' reaction was dull, and he didn't care.

  After all, I don’t have the domineering spirit, so naturally it is impossible for everyone to pay their respects.

  Greeted a group of people to sit down on the sofa in the corner, and then asked the babes and dogs to pour a few glasses of water, and Xia Jingxing started talking about the topic.

  "Do you know about Facebook before?"

  As soon as Xia Jingxing asked, one of the Evans team nodded, “I’ve heard that I heard it mentioned by a younger student who is still studying in Columbia. It’s a very good website and very innovative.”

  The foreign girls and little dogs who were silent while sitting aside were a little surprised. The unremarkable technician on the sofa was actually a Columbian graduate, but why is he still so miserable?

  Evans seemed to see through the two people’s thoughts and explained: "This is also mainly to blame for me. Calling them to start a business, but wasted two years of youth and gained nothing."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “We have an old saying in China that victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs.

  The same is true for entrepreneurship, failure is always a high probability.

  In addition to good creativity, execution, management, etc., sometimes it takes a certain amount of luck.

  The Nasdaq stock market crash is unpredictable.

  The past has been turned over, and we should grasp the present. "

  Evans glanced at Xia Jingxing, smiled and said, "I like your last words very much."

  Xia Jingxing chuckled twice and continued: “Facebook currently has hundreds of thousands of nearly 200,000 users.

  The function is still relatively single, so we want to improve the function.

  This is our short-term goal. "

   "What about long-term goals?"

  Evans smiled and looked at this Chinese student who was very different from European and American races.

  Through simple conversation, he knew that this was a mature founder, and he did not underestimate it at all.

  At the same time, he also wanted to know what kind of company the other party wanted to make Facebook into.

"Long-term goals……"

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "Let social networking become a new model of the Internet.

   Facebook is to social networking what Yahoo is to portals, Amazon is to e-commerce, and Google is to search. "

  Evans smiled, "Then this goal is really big, the next Jerry Young?"

   "He is my goal to surpass."

  Yang Zhiyuan is currently the richest among Chinese Americans and overseas Chinese. Andrew and Old John often use "the next Li Rui Yang" as an example to encourage Xia Jingxing.

  And Xia Jingxing always replied jokingly: to surpass the other party.

  Evans’s reaction was the same as that of others. Hearing such a "kyogan", he smiled faintly without speaking.

  Yahoo has a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, and Yang Zhiyuan is worth tens of billions of dollars.

   are astronomical numbers.

  Young people, let's be rational!

  Evans himself was also young, and when he was a startup company, he also dreamed of ringing the bell and becoming a billionaire.

After being beaten up by society, he now learns to be pragmatic.

   "Evans, don't you think I'm laughing."

  Xia Jingxing said lightly, “Any large company has developed from an inconspicuous stage.

  And they all have one thing in common, that is, they have created a model. "

Evans did not question this time, he took a long breath and nodded in agreement: "You are right, if social networking sites can really become a brand-new Internet model and reach the influence of portals and e-commerce. .

  As a pioneer and leader, Facebook really has the opportunity to become a technology giant.

  Of course, this kind of "pioneering" is not ordinary hard and hard work. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, "Of course, no success in the world is easy."

  "Principal John said, would you give each of us a 0.5% entry option?"

"Correct!"

  Xia Jingxing nodded, “Just enter the job, and make a major contribution to the work later, there will be other option rewards.”

  After confirming this, Evans nodded slightly.

  Before she put it aside, he would never agree to this condition so easily.

  But now he is living on the street, and he can't help but bargain.

   "What about the salary?"

  I almost can't afford to eat rice, Evans pays more attention to these more real things.

  "We are a startup company, and we can only give three thousand dollars a month for the time being."

  After all, there is not enough money on hand, so Xia Jingxing can only talk more about his ideals.

   But when someone asked about salary and treatment, he could only answer truthfully.

   "Can you add more? How about three thousand five?"

  Evans thought for a while, but still felt that the salary was a bit low. The average salary of programmers in Silicon Valley is now four to five thousand a month.

   "Okay, but there is a half-month trial period."

  Xia Jingxing hesitated for a while and still agreed. After all, he can't be exploited too hard. Even if it goes up by five hundred, the salary is still a bit low in Silicon Valley.

  However, although the salary of a small company is a bit lower, there are endless possibilities and it is quite attractive to join.

  As the leader, Evans has no objection, and the other four naturally have no objection.

  Xia Jingxing started the interview with five people.

   still the old rules, hand-written code.

  Evans didn't say much, picked up the pen and began to write and draw, followed by the other four.

  The code is well written, and it can be seen that they have real talents, not parallel imports.

  Xia Jingxing immediately took out five entry contracts and threw them to sign, as well as the attached confidentiality agreement, competition agreement and so on.

  Andrew stayed here for so many days, spent a lot of meals, and did some personnel work. These agreements were all sorted out with the help of the fat man.

   Then asked the foreign girl to take the five-person social security number and go to do a registration.

  Americans do not have a unified ID card, and basically use social security number or driver’s license instead.

  After signing the entry contract, Xia Jingxing asked the babes to pay half a month’s salary to the five people, and told them to rent an apartment nearby, buy some clothes, and take care of their image.

  After recruiting this group of people, the recruitment of soldiers and horses has also come to an end.
