Chapter 308 Selects Meritocracy

……

David Sachs's resignation caused a stir in the nascent Ruby Company. But it quickly calmed down, because now everyone is busy in a new position. And, without the saxophone, for others, there is a vacant seat to become a top executive in the company. However, Guo Shouyun did not announce the new appointment as everyone expected.

"How?"

"Are you asking about coffee or job titles?"

"I ask both, but I'm more concerned about the latter!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile after putting down his coffee cup.

Sitting opposite, a middle-aged man in a black suit and white shirt, with a slightly chubby body, smiled, "The top Jamaican Blue Mountain naturally tastes good." As for the position of CEO of Facebook... Can I ask a few questions?"

"Of course!"

"How do you position this company? To put it more clearly, what kind of Internet service do you think Facebook can provide?"

"A platform to show yourself!"

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "For today's young people, and even the vast majority of people, everyone has a dream of becoming a star. In addition to money, there is also a very important factor in the root of this dream, which is that people will subconsciously want to attract the attention of others, or praise them. So how do you get others to praise you and identify with yourself?"

“… An enviable trip, an expensive luxury, a luxury car, or a cool idea, etc. In reality, we can tell our friends and peers about these things that attract their attention and praise. But the theory of the six divisions tells us that there is a limit to the amount of praise and attention you can get. But the internet is different, it's limitless. On the internet, doing something cool can easily get hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, of attention. No one can refuse such a thing. But the reality is that there is no such platform on the Internet that can provide ordinary people with the ability to show themselves. And the role of Facebook is to provide such a platform for everyone. ”

"It's really a great idea. But how does it make money?

"Online advertising is only part of the story, and with enough registered users, there are more channels for traffic monetization. For example, games, music, shopping, etc., whether we do it ourselves or work with other websites, we can get a profit or a share. Guo Shouyun said.

After the other party nodded, "Then where do you think the height of Facebook will be in the future?"

"Unpredictable. But I'm sure the future won't be worse than Amazon, AOL and Yahoo!"

"Why not Google and LinkedIn?"

"Compared with my own company, doesn't it seem that I am too unconfident!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

The other party also smiled in agreement, "You said something similar last time when you invited me to be the CEO of Ruby Company. But now you've sold all of the Ruby Company's business. ”

"The human mind is constantly changing all the time. When I first founded Ruby, I saw a brilliant future for the telecom market and mobile chips, so I didn't hesitate to put the treasure on the plate. But after buying Apple, buying Pacific Gas, buying Enron, and getting involved in more and more industries, I began to understand. There are too many industries in this world that make money, but people's energy is very limited. Therefore, if you want to achieve brilliant success, you must learn to give up and focus. ”

"So, you sold Thorn Bird Publishing to Amazon. Sold the mobile chip business to Apple and the telecom business to Lucent?"

"That's right!" Guo Shouyun nodded, "At the beginning, people who succeeded in starting a business are used to constantly doing additions. When you have experienced some failures and become calm, you have to do some subtraction wisely!"

"As far as I know, you haven't failed!"

Guo Shouyun pointed to the white hair on his sideburns, and said indifferently: "Failure is not only a career, but also a family. ”

The other party obviously knew about his past experience, "I'm sorry!"

"No, I don't. One year is enough time for me to come out!" After a pause, Guo Shouyun smiled, "Let's talk about business." … How about my invitation?

"What do I get if I say yes?"

"$1,000,000 a year, plus 3% of the shares!"

"Is it Ruby's stake, or is it Facebook?"

“Facebook！”

"I promised!"

"Don't think about it anymore?"

"No, I'm afraid that if I refuse now, I'll miss the opportunity again!"

Guo Shouyun stood up and stretched out his right hand to the other party.

"Eric, I'm sure five years from now, you'll be incredibly glad you've made today!"

"Looking forward to that day coming soon!"

Eric Schmidt also laughed.

Whether it is the experience of later generations or the attention of the past two years, Eric Schmidt is the kind of talent for business management, especially Internet companies. handed over Facebook to him, Guo Shouyun was very relieved.

After taking Eric Schmidt, Guo Shouyun's transfer and appointment of Ruby executives is basically over. Later in the future, as the chairman, he only needs to remind the other party when he deviates from the track he set. It doesn't take much effort.

After seeing off Eric, Guo Shouyun left the Hanshan Courtyard and went home. Now, as long as there is no party outside and others are in San Francisco. He rarely wastes time outside, because nothing attracts his attention more than the two cuties in the house.

However, after returning home today, I was quickly attracted by the laughter coming from the lobby of the villa.

"Someone's in the house?"

Old Ward nodded, and after taking his clothes, "Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln, Miss Catherine, and Mr. Mata and Miss Julia are here!"

"Oh, is it so neat?"

"Bruce, are you back?" Catherine was the first to see Guo Shouyun who entered the door.

Soon, the two little ones, who had been held in the arms of Blair and Mary, struggled down. With a happy smile on her delicate little face, like two fat ducks, she staggered towards Guo Shouyun.

"Baba, hug!"

At this moment, Guo Shouyun felt that his whole body had melted. hurriedly stepped forward, hugged the two cuties in his arms, and then kissed them on their little faces. A happy smile couldn't stop showing from his face.

At the same time, this warm side also made everyone around look at it with a happy smile.

"These two little ones are close to Daddy, and when you come, you will leave us alone!" Blair laughed.

"Am I not the same?" said Mary Lincoln, smiling as she rolled her husband's eyes.

"Uncle Blair, Aunt Mary, why are you here?" asked Guo Shouyun, letting the two babies wrap their arms around their necks.

"After meeting Gordon in Hawaii, we came back. Blair said.

"Mostly we want these two cute little trick-or-treaters too!"

Mary looked at the little cutie in diapers in Guo Shouyun's arms gently.

"Hey, Bruce, why don't you ask us!" Catherine dissatisfied.

"You've come every once in a while, and I'm asking you what you're doing! By the way, Mata, Julia, congratulations. ”

"Thank you. ”

Compared with his fiancée's restraint, Mata Lincoln is much more relaxed.

"When I get married, you must be my best man!"

"Okay, no problem! But is your wedding date set?"

"Not yet, I've been a little busy with Julia all this time!"

"Julia is a lawyer, and it's understandable that she's busy. But what are you busy with? Aren't there enough employees that the Kwok Charitable Foundation has assigned to you?" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"He's running for the California Senate, and he's giving speeches right now, so he's going to be busy. Really, politics is so filthy, what's so good!" said Catherine.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and I don't like business yet!"

"Alright, don't look for it. I really don't understand your brother and sister, and they will quarrel endlessly as soon as they meet. Mary, as a mother, dissatisfied.

After extinguishing Catherine and Mata's arrogance, her attention quickly turned to the two little ones.

"Baby, can you hang out with grandma? grandma will take you to see the big butterflies!"

After hesitating for a moment, the two little ones quickly stretched out their little lotus arms with the encouragement of their father. Soon, Blair and Mary, one by one, happily walked into the back garden.

With bodyguards and servants following, Guo Shouyun was not worried. After the two had left, he instructed Old Ward to prepare dinner, and beckoned Catherine to sit down together.
