Chapter 140: Hubble Island (4/4)
Mr. Alfred was not very good-tempered.
As the head of Facebook, he is destined to establish prestige in front of employees, and not long after the Internet company was founded, he has fired no less than five interns one after another, all on the grounds that they cannot complete their tasks perfectly.
Ye Dongqing is not at home, and he is responsible for all the management matters, at this moment Mr. Alfred put down his mobile phone with a depressed face, just now he called his wife and told him that he might be relieved to work in Silicon Valley.
The boss gave a fairly clear answer to the move, so it is time to think about the children's education, renting a house, etc., and by the end of the year at the latest, some employees will have to go to Silicon Valley to start a new life.
Speaking of which, I decided to leave Microsoft because I wanted to move back to New York to reunite with my wife and family, but this time I just came to New York to work for a few months, and I was going to the West Coast again.
It's different from at Microsoft.
Missing out on the golden age of joining Microsoft, Mr. Alfred was not eligible for option awards as a junior executive, there were too many senior leadership employees above him, and since the mid-to-late nineties, the days have always been about the same, less and less passionate, and it feels like he can see the end of his life at a glance.
Facebook is a new company that has just been created, with unlimited potential, as a "veteran employee", Ye Dongqing gave Mr. Alfred enough power, which is quite good, so for the relocation to Silicon Valley, in fact, there is not much complaint, but full of expectations.
He walked out of his office, clapped his hands and asked them to suspend work, and shouted, "Everyone, I want to tell you the important news, our boss Leo has decided to move our company to Silicon Valley this year, and will rent a new office space there, and the servers purchased from Oracle will also be there!"
New York has limited its growth, and the company needs more people to help develop a better product, which will be about three months later, and there is still time to prepare. If you don't want to work, you can do it, and soon someone will take over your job, and then take stocks and bonuses in the future, and when Facebook goes public, you will suddenly become a millionaire!
Think about it carefully, which Internet company has been developing faster than us recently? The opportunity to make money and succeed is here, I hope to use more brains to think about the future, don't miss such a rare opportunity, and wait until the grading system begins to be implemented, willing to add one level to the past employees, which means that it is possible to get equity awards and more salaries, OK, continue to be busy. ”
Such a strong news made many employees dumbfounded, and Alfred returned to the office after speaking, leaving the group of employees who were talking about it to discuss with each other.
Let's be honest, with Facebook's benefits and potential, there is no need to worry about not being able to recruit suitable new employees, especially when there are fewer job opportunities, Alfred is not worried about someone leaving, and countless talents in Silicon Valley are worried about where to work, and then recruit.
Going to Silicon Valley can make the company develop better, and neither Ye Dongqing nor he can give up this decision because of the opinions of some employees.
Plans to rent or purchase office space and expand staff in the Silicon Valley area are already on the agenda, and Mr. Alfred is calling his acquaintances who work in Silicon Valley to give them good advice and see where the right office space is available......
Puchuan Building.
Zhao Liuli is learning mathematics with the help of her tutor, and Laura is helping to feed the fish, every time she thinks of Ye Dongqing leaving her behind and going to a beautiful island alone for a vacation, she gets angry, mainly because she can't go, and some of them feel that she is not valued.
How to say it, although she didn't have too high expectations, she already clearly realized that Ye Dongqing was not the Ye Dongqing before, but she still hoped that that guy would pay more attention to herself, instead of running to the beach alone to fish and swim after sleeping, spoonful after spoonful, and take revenge on these Arowana he liked.
It's just a little uncomfortable, not too angry, after all, Ye Dongqing usually treats her well, and there is no commitment between them, it is not a lover relationship, and she suddenly realized that she has become a billionaire, which makes Laura think of herself, and she feels that she should work harder, otherwise she will soon become a person in two worlds.
Regret is certain, looking at the tank chasing dried shrimp and rushing to eat their beautiful arowana, Laura said to herself with chagrin: "Why didn't you partner with him in the first place......?"
The paradise island of the Bahamas is famous, and Atlantis is located here.
Even more famous is Hubble Island, where coral debris accumulates on the island's beaches over the years, creating a patch of pink sand that is simply stunning against the blue sky and sea.
Fortunately, it was a sunny day, and it took more than forty minutes to come by seaplane, and Miss Mahi finished practicing again, and today she was going to snorkel near Hubble Island to see the fish and coral reefs under the water, and the two of them were walking on the beach at the moment, and an old man came up with a portrait in his hand, and told them that he could paint one for them for sixty dollars.
Before Ye Dongqing could speak, Miss Mahi politely refused first, and only after walking more than ten meters did she tell with a smile: "Actually, that gentleman's painting is not very good, if you want me to paint, just do it, alumni often help people paint on the streets of Paris to earn tuition, and occasionally take murals and the like, and some even put their own sculptures on the Place de la Concorde."
Hubble Island always inspires me, and when I go back to school, I'll try to create a few in pink, and if you don't mind leaving me an address, it's a reward for teaching me how to swim, don't you think?"
"Okay, draw me some flamingos. ”
Ye Dongqing didn't know why he was talking about flamingos, but he remembered where he had seen such patterns, and continued: "It's okay to draw tigers, cats, etc., I remember you said that you have been experimenting with animal themes recently, if one day you become as famous as Richie Denstein, Keith Haring and others, then I will make a lot of money." ”
"Don't laugh at me, men always have a better chance of being famous than women in the field of art, in fact, I want to give you landscape paintings, but ...... Flamingos too, it seems like it would be fun. ”
"Then when I get to the hotel, I'll send you the address, it's on Fifth Avenue, and if I can come in person, I'll take you shopping." ”
To be honest, Ye Dongqing didn't know what he was doing, he should have been more proactive, and if he continued like this, he would almost become friends, but Mahi has a great personality, and it's not bad to be a friend, he always feels that saying something inappropriate will destroy the relationship that has just been established in the past two days.
Unlike the white girls, the Chinese girls want more in terms of feelings, and Ye Dongqing is not sure if she can give Mahi what she wants.
After all, a vacation is just a vacation, and it will return to normal life, maybe the other party has always been this kind of character, but Ye Dongqing is not......
