It is precisely because Facebook is too money-burning that Ye Dongqing does not dare to invest all the funds on hand.

Otherwise, when there is a problem in the capital chain of this company that burned money in the early stage of the business, it will have to find a way to sell a share or find a way to make money from other places to fill the funding gap.

In the initial stage, he does not plan to accept financing from other institutions or individuals, as long as the operation is good, the future income prospects are quite considerable.

It's worth the risk.

It's hard to say whether it will be as successful as the original Facebook company, but judging from the current situation, this newly developed product is quite good to use.

The beta version is certainly not very advanced, but it is almost the beginning, such as sharing pictures, text messages, adding friends through search, and leaving comments on the other person's public page.

There are still some functions that have not been launched, such as blocking a friend, liking function, etc., the whole page looks quite simple, with the improvement and optimization, I believe that in the near future, it will be able to reach the height of Ye Dongqing's satisfaction.

Someone once said that the most difficult part of Internet entrepreneurship lies in product positioning and long-term planning, and many people rush into this industry as soon as their heads are hot, and they are confused and hit their heads and break their blood, wasting time and money.

Don't look at the peak of Silicon Valley in the 90s, there were nearly 10,000 large, medium and small start-ups, after a bubble collapse baptism, the remaining companies did not survive, there were constantly new companies, and there were also companies that went out of business.

What bothers other entrepreneurs is extremely troublesome, it is not a problem at all when he arrives at Ye Dongqing, he knows very well what to do, it is unlikely that he will take the wrong path, as long as the "logistics support work" is done, this refers to constantly spending money on promotion and development, it is almost impossible to make a profit in two or three years, and Ye Dongqing is even ready to not make a profit for five years.

The reluctance to accept financing too early necessitates the need for other capital injections.

Now Facebook's remaining more than eight million US dollars, it is difficult to say whether it can survive the first two months of next year, after all, the requirements for this product are too high, and it will soon enter the stage of personnel expansion, and update hardware supporting products such as servers, and at present, it is just renting a small server.

The beta version of the Facebook website has been open for nearly a week, and after continuous modification and testing by programmers, it has reached a level that can be put out for testing.

Ye Dongqing kept looking through the first message, and then he went out to call Mr. Alfred House and said to him: "How about picking a good day and starting the market tomorrow? People will spend more time on computers during the holidays, and I think it will be a good opportunity to promote our products." ”

"Starting tomorrow?"

Alfred subconsciously looked outside and told Ye Dongqing: "But who should be left on duty, it may cause a crash at any time, the beta version of the program is not so stable, and the web version is slightly better, but the mini program is too bad, if it is open to users, it will definitely be inseparable from people."

You should have told me about it earlier, many people have already planned their vacations, like me, going to the beaches of Miami, and if my wife is in a good mood, she will probably go to Panama, which is too embarrassing for me. ”

“...... I know what you mean, just don't let you stay and work overtime, right?"

The programmers in his own company are generally not very old, and Mr. Alfred House is only in his early forties.

"There should still be people who are not married, do you think I will give a bonus of five thousand dollars in addition to the salary, and he will get a week's vacation after you go to work, how many people will agree to stay and work overtime?"

"Five thousand dollars?"

Alfred asked rhetorically, and replied after a moment: "It should be enough to keep the company running, almost three times the salary, and the price is only a few days off later." ”

After the idea of making this product come out soon, it took root in Ye Dongqing's mind, and he didn't want to wait for the end of the long vacation, so he would rather spend a little more money, almost 30,000 or 40,000 US dollars, and he could afford a similar small price, which had nothing to do with sitting on the mountain, and the freshwater fund company was still helping him make money......

Ye Dongqing personally walked out of the office and told the employees the "good news", their reaction was not as enthusiastic as he imagined, and a few guys immediately shrank their heads, for fear of being caught.

It is difficult for ordinary people to live in New York, and for programmers with relatively high salaries, as long as they have a stable job, not to mention how well they live, at least it is okay.

Westerners generally hate working overtime on holidays, especially the bosses forcing them to work overtime, Ye Dongqing's approach is okay, after getting an extra reward, he can still enjoy a week of paid vacation time at the beginning of next year.

If there are two people who raise their arms at the same time and voluntarily stay during the holidays, they must belong to the category of those who are relatively short of money, or they are single dogs, who feed the whole family and are not hungry, and do not make plans to travel with anyone.

The rest of the people would rather lose a lot of money than work overtime, and everyone else is on vacation, and they are all over the world, but they are working in an empty office building, which is really not a good feeling.

After a moment of silence, two more people raised their hands to join in, Ye Dongqing asked Alfred with his eyes if these were enough, and after receiving a nod from the other party, he smiled and patted the shoulders of those poor eggs, and encouraged:

"Don't worry, I will never treat you badly, I will reimburse the expenses for meals and transportation, and I will bring you some small gifts.

If, I mean, if our company gets on fire in the future, we can tell people that you guys are in charge of maintenance for the first few days of operation, isn't that cool?"

Well, in fact, it's not cool at all, for this young rich Chinese boss, many employees don't even know what he does, they usually don't meet much, and the relationship can only be regarded as average, thinking that most of them are rich second generations who have money in the family, so they spend money to toss.

Don't expect to be able to respond to every call, the whole company is full of more than 20 employees, and the time to come to work is about two months.

No one responded to him, Ye Dongqing was a little embarrassed, pretended that there was nothing like that, went to the office to pack up his things, and prepared to go to the Tamsui Fund to inspect again, and talk to Kanek, who was temporarily in charge of Vigo, about the details of the year-end bonus.

The performance is far beyond expectations, not to give more bonuses to employees can not be said, you can pay more than half a month, or a month's salary, rather than pay taxes in vain by the tax bureau, it is better to give employees a good reputation, in anticipation of their efforts in the coming year.

Before leaving, Alfred also showed him the online official website of Freshwater Fund, which is expected to be officially launched early next year, opening online trading, redemption, and communication functions......
