Chapter 57 Money is the best motivator
"Wait until next week, let the accountant help you reimburse, so it seems that we are still missing an accountant, I will ask the human resources company about this, I already have a hunch, the next amount of money will definitely not be less." ”
Ye Dongqing stood by the glass wall, and could see a small park and many dilapidated old buildings.
The rent is cheap, and the environment can't be too demanding, and this is a temporary office space in his mind, as long as FB is bigger, he will definitely move to a better place.
The simple decoration has been completed when the office building is rented, and the standards set by the United States for decoration materials are relatively high, resulting in people who can live in it after completing the decoration and ventilating it for a week or two, and few people will worry about harmful gases such as formaldehyde.
Mr. Alfred Howes jumped from Microsoft, the world's largest Internet company, to Facebook, a new company that has nothing and has just started, coupled with rich experience in the industry, it is normal to get a monthly salary of 35K, and the salary in this industry is relatively high.
In the past two years, programmers have struggled to find suitable jobs, many Internet companies have gone bankrupt, a large number of unemployed people have appeared, Silicon Valley has fallen into a cold winter, and some people have tried to come to New York to try their luck.
Hearing Ye Dongqing ask how the recruitment work was going, Alfred said to him: "It's easier than I imagined, the mid-level software engineer who used to get 8K only wants to get a monthly salary of 6K, and those who really have top-level technology still need to spend 10K."
I first found four senior software engineers, the kind who graduated from prestigious universities and have at least three years of experience in the industry, and jointly reviewed more than 20 other applicants, and selected 10 of them. IT practitioners are mainly concentrated in Silicon Valley, and if you had built your company there, you would have found more suitable employees, but I think the team is good now, better than the one I managed before. ”
Ye Dongqing smiled: "I know that Silicon Valley is better, and the entrepreneurial atmosphere is much stronger than that of New York, but my other company is on Wall Street, and I don't want to fly across North America often, and New York is not bad." ”
"Yes, but the cost of living is too high, although it is also high in Silicon Valley, but it is definitely not as high as in New York. ”
"I will do it for a quarter, and if the product I make is satisfactory to me, I can help them reimburse the rent, the kind that does not exceed $1,000 per person, and everything can be negotiated, as long as the product is perfect enough.
For you, Alfred, I know you have a house in New York, so it will end up being converted into bonuses, fourteen or even eighteen a year, it's all up to you. Now I'm going to make you a promise that when the number of users exceeds 100,000, you'll get a $100,000 cash prize from me, or give you a Ferrari. ”
Ye Dongqing is not afraid of the greed of the employees, he is afraid that they will not be motivated, the ancestors often say that money can make the devil grind, he is willing to spend money, provided that it can bring more money.
I don't know much about this industry, and I will rely on Alfred for help with development work for a long time to come, and there are some things that are better to be clear now, and the temptation of money is the easiest to motivate employees.
The conditions offered are very good, but unfortunately Alfred doesn't know Ye Dongqing's strength, and he can't figure out whether it's a blank check for the time being, and he doesn't even know if this company can survive the curse for half a year, 90% of the companies in Silicon Valley were created less than half a year, and then disappeared quickly, and the speed of reshuffle far exceeds that of traditional industries.
Lack of understanding of each other, trust this thing can't be established for a while, it depends on how the next run-in goes.
After chatting awkwardly for a few minutes, Ye Dongqing took the lead in leaving the company and continued to hand over the rest of the work to the other party.
After paying the rent, signing the lease agreement, and finalizing the company's logo, the company's employees had not officially gone to work, and he couldn't find a reason to stay......
For half a month, the time has been mainly spent on these tedious little things of entrepreneurship, and Facebook has not been able to make too much profit in recent years, and the focus still has to be on the freshwater fund, otherwise the lack of cash inflow will cause both companies to suffer.
It is still in the stage of laying the foundation, and like other Wall Street firms, it is even confused and cheating, making thousands of calls a day, but it can also get hundreds of thousands of dollars of investment money, leaving some of it in case customers regret it and want to get the investment money back, and the rest is invested in the stock market.
Even though the Freshwater Fund, including Ms. Vigo, has made a profit of more than $2 million, a group of employees are still wary, fearing that one day they will run into financial difficulties.
Before the real crisis, they had no reason to fall out with Ye Dongqing and lose their job opportunities, so the current situation was not tense at all, and they were all busy wooing users and extracting commissions from them.
Ye Dongqing is not a person who is born with a leadership temperament, especially at this age, he still looks very young.
Fortunately, he is calculating, and his personality is not stingy, he knows how to make people willing to work hard for himself, and he has not made much money for the time being, but the scale of assets under his management has been growing, and he only needs to be patient and slowly boil, I believe that the day when he will get ahead will not be too far away.
Worried that Laura would not be able to take care of the newly adopted girl, he drove back to Wall Street as soon as possible, and learned from Laura that Liuli was asleep, so he walked into his office to take a look, and walked out with light steps.
"What did you do with her just now?"
"Didn't do anything, just talk to her, why did you lie to a girl so young......?"
The tone was strange, and Laura's eyes became strange.
Reaching out and knocking on the door of her head, Ye Dongqing glared and said: "Don't be evil, I met Grace on the street, I just want to help, it's a poor little girl, isn't it, she should live a good life." ”
Linked to Ye Dongqing's growth process, Laura subconsciously thought that he saw his own shadow from her, and decisively stopped joking about this kind of thing, and changed the topic:
"Leo, I had an interesting idea to get more potential customers to pay attention to our company, I can tell you, but don't deduct the money from my salary for these clothes, how about it?"
"Tell me first, and if it really works, I'll consider forgiving your debt. ”
The relationship between the two is not very close, at least it is much better than others, especially after "living together", they suddenly become close again.
Ye Dongqing stared at Laura as she spoke, her eyes clearly full of doubt.
She saw it, and gritted her teeth in anger for it.
I looked left and right, and when I saw that no one was there, I lowered my voice and said, "You know the hacker, why don't you ask the hacker named Paul to help? Hang your company's name, such as on the homepage of the White House website, and it will soon become popular!"
“...... Such a bad idea, you deliberately tricked me, right?"
