Chapter 449: Busy
Jumping from one company to another, they are all companies in which Su Mu has a stake, and talent flows internally, so he is naturally lazy and nosy, and if he can make the company develop better, he is happy to be poached.
The Internet industry is developing, the requirements for software and hardware engineers are also increasing, different from the old traditional industries that often work for a lifetime, these technical talents enjoy high wages at the same time, but also face a very high risk of unemployment, if they do not work hard to improve themselves, most of them will eventually be fired by the company.
When it comes to wages and benefits, Sumu's companies rank first in Silicon Valley all year round, but those employees who want to stay in his company have to put in more effort and adopt a grading system, firing some employees every quarter to ensure the company's vitality.
It is not easy to make a living under him, those operating officers and human resources directors are often approached by Su Mu to talk, they can not work overtime, they can take leave on schedule, but they must be serious during working hours, this is Su Mu's requirements.
Benioff received a satisfactory answer, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I will ask someone from the headhunter to help me talk to them."
Do you know that Cisco is negotiating orders with us recently? Unfortunately, the company has too few employees, and some templates are still under development, otherwise I would have been more confident in the negotiations, and they don't seem to hire us. ”
The so-called "customer relationship management software" is mainly aimed at commercial companies to conduct business, so that they can spend money to come to the company to help tailor a set of programs to help them record interactions with users, suppliers, agents and other groups, such as the Bee chat program, which will send holiday greetings on the user's birthday, which is also a move to improve user relationships.
Compared with Saifushi, Cisco is like a giant company, and the Internet company founded by Su Mu has a single market capitalization lower than Cisco, and the only advantage is the large number.
And he has a say in the company, the founder and his wife of Cisco have been swept away, Gates has now "voluntarily" left Silicon Valley, the media always say that Silicon Valley has been overrun by Wall Street, and the air is filled with a copper smell similar to Hollywood, which is not wrong at all.
A few years ago, they begged Silicon Valley entrepreneurs to come over to invest, and recently they were a group of entrepreneurs who were about to be unable to support themselves, begging them for financing, and it was inevitable that they would be slaughtered by potential investors.
More than a trillion dollars of wealth evaporated, the kind of wealth in a day shrunk by half, or even more of the scene is still fresh in the memory of many investors, until this year has not been able to slow down, the last two years Su Mu has invested tens of billions of dollars in this industry, and now wait for the Internet industry to flourish again.
"Cisco? It would be nice if this business could be won, but I don't think it's too much hope, after all, the scale of SAFTSE is quite small, and with the strength of Cisco, it is fully capable of setting up a department for development.
Mr. Benioff, you should now find a way to complete those small orders in your hand as soon as possible, the expansion rate is a little slower than I expected, and from the current market prospects, there is no need to be afraid of the tail. I wanted to talk to you about it last time, but then I forgot about it. ”
Benioff replied: "I understand that there has been a massive recruitment process recently, and now there is a shortage of people in every project, and the first batch of interns will be added next week, a total of one hundred and sixty people."
You have found office space in your Eden Industrial Incubation Park, and you are continuing to recruit programmers through headhunters, human resources agencies, etc., and expand to at least 1,200 employees by the end of this year. ”
SAFTSE has just started its business, attracting a lot of users, more than 80 companies, these orders are unexpected, at first they want to make steady progress, and now they are forced to embark on the path of rapid growth, trying to avoid losing customers.
In three quarters, from a small company of more than 300 people to 1,200 people, Su Mu began to worry, thinking that Benioff had witnessed the expansion of Oracle, and that he had experience, so he was a little relieved.
A rough estimate of the size of the market is currently at least $100 billion, and the global customer relationship management program market is still almost blank.
The vast majority of companies do not have this concept, or are still using the old methods, and cannot keep up with the needs of the times.
If it goes well, it is not a big problem to make more than a billion or billions of dollars through this company, so Su Mu is so concerned about Saifushi.
"Oracle," he admonished, "Unlike us, it took years for it to grow, and Mr. Ellison's personal abilities go without saying, and I admire him. We need to seize the market quickly and stand firm before anyone else reacts, and I agree to expand, but the structure of the company's management must be perfected, otherwise you will find that you will not be able to manage at all, and all the internal departments will be in a mess. ”
"I understand. ”
Mr. Benioff nodded and said: "The headhunter is helping me poach people, and the salary can be higher, but in terms of ability, I will personally supervise it, and it is best to have management experience." ”
"You start a company, you make decisions, if you need help, just let me know......"
Saifushi and Maple Leaf Shopping Network, both of which are currently the focus of Sumu's attention, and unlike many projects with long-term development potential, their success can be "seen" in advance.
The number of users of the Maple Leaf shopping network has successfully exceeded 10 million people, and the logistics warehouse sends out about 1.25 million packages every day, with an average price of about 90 US dollars.
Sumu is ushering in a second period of wealth explosion, the first time is mainly because of the Internet industry, and this time it is expected to be the same.
Investors regain their composure and no longer need to worry about bubbles, as long as they are busy with the company's development. The speed of infrastructure construction is still accelerating, wave after wave of netizens are pouring into the Internet, his products were launched earlier, and he has already formed a brand image, and he doesn't even need to play more advertising.
Sitting in the office and chatting for a while, after sending Mr. Benioff away, the secretary happened to send the data file of Maple Leaf Shopping Network, and told the other party not to disturb him, and Su Mu began to bury his head in summarizing the data......
