After returning from China, Ivanka was inspired.

Unexpectedly, a little bit of detailed analysis in the preliminary work was highly praised and affirmed by Wu Tao.

And because of this, a greater responsibility is entrusted to her.

Ivanka felt that this feeling was something Molly and Panis had never had.

After landing in California, Ivanka paid a non-stop visit to Eaton Holman, the leader of Blockbuster who was practicing streaming technology.

Eaton was surprised by Ivanka's visit.

After all, he had been away from Blockbuster for more than two years, and that experience had not been pleasant.

This led directly to his parting ways with his owner, Blockbuster.

So much so that to this day, he has not found a job with a higher salary than Blockbuster.

Because of this, Eaton has a first-hand experience of the cold winter of the Internet.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, he is reluctant to mention the bad experience of falling into the pit at the beginning.

However, Ivanka is a charismatic beauty after all.

Beauty is always privileged.

At least when Eaton saw Ivanka's smile, he forgot all the words of rejection.

I even had the idea of using the meager money in my pocket to ask for this coffee.

For the technical talents that Wu Tao fancies, Ivanka attaches great importance to them.

Even this young man who is less than thirty has already shown the vicissitudes of a middle-aged man.

"Can you talk about the experience and harvest of hosting and developing online video playback projects at Blockbuster?"

The past is unbearable, but it must be faced after all.

Eaton wiped his face and began to talk about the fiasco in a deep voice.

Ivanka had some difficulty understanding many of the technical terms in Eaton's conversation.

But she was clever enough to mark key words such as streaming data, multimedia protocols, encoders, players, browsers, and more.

The frequency of mentioning these words in the other party's words directly determines the weight and value of the technology in his hands.

Unexpectedly, Eton's conversation lasted for two hours, and there were many experiences and reflections on failures.

Ivanka doesn't understand it very well, but she still thinks it's important.

In the end, Ivanka immediately decided not to report to Wu Tao, so she decided to settle this person first.

"Eaton, the technical team members of the year, can you still reassemble?"

Eaton was stunned, and he immediately understood Ivanka's intentions, "Are you planning to rebuild the streaming technology team and impact the development and application of streaming technology again?"

"Can't you?" said Ivanka, gracefully folding her legs and taking a sip of her coffee.

"But it's too difficult!" Eaton shook his head dejectedly, "With the current technical background and the current situation of the Internet industry, no one can really do it and promote it." ”

Ivanka frowned, that's too absolute, right?

I can't help but feel a lot less impression of Eaton because of these words.

It wasn't until Eaton swept away his gloomy look and added excitedly: "Unless an Internet industry master like Huaxia Wu and him sees this piece, it is really possible to succeed." ”

Ivanka smiled lightly, fortunately you added in time, otherwise the position of leader of this new team would be gone.

But she did not intend to say Wu Tao's behind-the-scenes position in this matter.

Instead, he asked, "What do you think of SkyScape?"

Eaton spread his hands, "What else can you think? Silicon Valley's diamond IT company, Huaxia Wu's industry, and the 10 Silicon Valley employers for many years, I have never dreamed of entering." ”

"Then why don't you try it?" asked Ivanka, curious.

"How could it not be?" Eaton nodded heavily, "Of course I tried." ”

“...... SkyScape's Lab Research department was interested in my development resume, but they wanted me to lead the whole team there. ”

“...... At that time, several team members were not able to take shape because other projects were burdened with non-compete restrictions. ”

Ivanka put down her coffee cup and said, "Isn't the time limit expired?"

Eaton pondered, "I guess it's about the same, but I'll have to ask to find out." ”

"So are you interested in leading them to my company?" Ivanka threw out the final bait, "I can provide you with a superior life several times the current one." ”

Eaton hesitated, "Dear Miss Ivanka, I have some knowledge of your background. IMHO, you and your family may not be the right fit to grow in the Internet industry. ”

“...... After all, it's a very specialized new industry, which is a pity!"

The first meeting and conversation, that's it.

Before parting, Ivanka did not reveal anything about Wu Tao, but repeatedly reminded the other party: "Try to contact and discuss with your team members, and if you are willing, call me at any time." ”

In this way, three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Then four, five, until the evening a week later.

For a week, Eaton didn't make a single phone call.

Not interested at all?

Ivanka patiently dialed Eaton's phone again, "What's wrong, what are you thinking about?"

Eaton on the other end of the phone didn't say much, but directly refused: "I'm sorry, Miss Ivanka." Still, I would like to thank you for your advice. I'll treat you to coffee when you get a chance, so be sure to enjoy it. ”

Then the phone hung up.

Hearing Ivanka's dazedness, it felt like a treasure that she was optimistic about, but she was suddenly cut off by others.

Wait a minute......

Ivanka seemed to have an understanding, and hesitantly picked up the landline and dialed it directly to Wu Tao.

When Wu Tao received the call, he had just sent Cao Yicheng away, so he was in a good mood, "How are you doing, Ivanka?"

"Okay, but Wu, what I want to ask is, can you confirm right away if SkyScape has been meeting with a team named Eaton Holman and his team recently?"

Wu Tao readily agreed, "Yes, it's not difficult." Why ask them, though?"

"Because they are the team that hosted the streaming technology development application of Blockbuster in the first place! In the last meeting, Eaton showed a strong interest in SkyScape. ”

“...... And with a phone call just now, I vaguely felt that they were looking for a new owner. ”

When Wu Tao heard this, he immediately paid attention to it, "I'll ask." ”

The contact with SkyScape human resources was conveyed through Qiu Wuyan.

After going back and forth, he waited for half an hour before Wu Tao got the result.

The good thing is that the results are pleasant.

As Ivanka expected, Eaton and his team are in contact with SkyScape and have already talked about the final round of the cost of non-compete violations for some members of the team.

Isn't it just spending money?

Wu Tao decisively instructed Qiu Wuyan: Promise them!

immediately called Ivanka back, Wu Tao was in a good mood.

But Ivanka on the other end of the phone was a little depressed, "It's a pity, Wu, that I couldn't successfully complete the task you gave me." ”

"NONONO!" Wu Tao said with a smile, "This matter is still your credit! And SkyScape's manpower cost is much lower than we expected." ”
