Chapter 307: Restructuring of the Ruby Company

……

"LinkedIn forums are Q&A sites, and the accuracy and priority of answers are crucial. Therefore, in addition to further optimizing the layout and strengthening the user-friendliness, we must continue to reform our weight selection process. The measurement between different weights such as the proportion of answers to answers, the number of words, and the accuracy is also the focus of the next website optimization!"

"In terms of LinkedIn News, we will continue to expand our offline team of reporters, cameramen, editors, editors, and set up more international sites. What I ask of you is more than just a media website that reprints other news media reports. Rather, it is a news media that has comprehensive capabilities and the ability to independently dig out major news. This is where you are going next. ”……

Guo Shouyun made detailed inquiries about each department, and gave his own requirements and the direction of the other party's next efforts.

By the time LinkedIn and PayPal's dozen departments had finished processing, nearly three hours had passed. By this time it was already noon. Because of the meeting, everyone, including Guo Shouyun, had lunch in the staff cafeteria, and then started the afternoon meeting.

"This is David Sachs, the CEO of Ruby Company, and PayPal's old employees know him, so I won't introduce him much. After everyone works together, you have a lot of time to get to know each other. ”

After a few simple words, Guo Shouyun waved his hand and motioned for the other party to sit back.

"The next thing I want to talk about is the restructuring of the future organizational structure of the three companies. After a pause, Guo Shouyun's expression was solemn, "Starting today, LinkedIn, PayPal and Ruby will merge, and the head office will be dominated by Ruby Company, with four companies: LinkedIn, PayPal, Facebook and YouTube!"

"Boss...?"

After waving his hand to interrupt Tim and the others, Guo Shouyun continued: "Listen to me first, I have already written the plans for the two subsidiaries of Facebook and YouTube. The staff also made corresponding arrangements!"

As he spoke, he opened his briefcase and pulled out two papers, one of which was in David Sachs's hands.

After selling the original Ruby's telecommunications business and integrating the mobile chip business into Apple, Facebook was Guo Shouyun's compensation for David Sachs' three-year efforts.

"David, you're going to be the CEO of Facebook from now on. ”

The latter took the proposal, but there was some hesitation in his expression.

"Is there a problem?" Guo Shouyun frowned slightly.

"Nothing!"

David Sachs hurriedly shook his head, but looking at his appearance, it was obvious that there was something unspeakable in his heart. But now is not the time to ask, Guo Shouyun put this question aside for the time being.

"As for YouTube!"

Guo Shouyun held the plan, his eyes swept over the many eager faces, and he noticed the ordinary-looking young man sitting in the middle of the crowd, wearing black-rimmed glasses.

"Chen Shijun, you are the CEO of YouTube!"

"Me?"

Chen Shijun pointed to his nose, his expression full of surprise. Although he is a veteran of PayPal, he is not outstanding among PayPal's elite employee base. It was a big surprise to be able to get the position of CEO of a new company now. Of course, he also vaguely guessed that he could get this position, most likely because he had a relationship with the big boss who belonged to the same Chinese descent.

"Yes, it's you... Come here and take this plan down!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

He chose Chen Shijun as the CEO of YouTube, in addition to the reason why everyone is Chinese, the most important thing is that the other party was the founder of YouTube in his last life. Whether it's managerial talent, technical ability, or knowledge of the Internet, it can meet his requirements.

When Chen Shijun took the plan back in the envious and even jealous eyes of everyone, Guo Shouyun continued: "You can take these two plans back and look at them, I ask the websites of the two companies to be launched in a month. So, this month, you have to set up a shelf between the two companies. In addition, I will always keep an eye on your progress, and if your abilities do not meet my requirements, I will replace you with a more suitable person. ”

"Yes!"

The two nodded hurriedly. However, compared to Chen Shijun's excitement and determination, David Sachs is much calmer.

"Next, I'm going to announce the leadership of Ruby. ”

Peter Thiel and Tim George's expressions instantly became nervous. Because the position of CEO of the company is most likely to be born between the two of them.

Guo Shouyun has experienced the workplace and naturally understands their feelings, but the choice is sometimes full of cruelty.

Tim George, CEO of the company, Director. Peter Thiel, Director and CEO of PayPal. After speaking, Guo Shouyun quickly glanced at the expressions of the two and continued, "John Belden, promoted to CEO of LinkedIn, and also serves as a director of Ruby Company. Dunko Verne is the Chief Financial Officer of the head office and a director of the company. Kelly Dorothy, as the company's top human resources officer, is also a director of the company... ”

While it is impossible to be absolutely fair, Guo Shouyun has already balanced the balance of power between PayPal and LinkedIn.

"These are the appointments to the management of the new company. If you feel that this appointment does not reflect your competence, then you have shown me your competence! But if you delay your work because of this dissatisfaction, I will not show mercy... Ruby, office politics is not allowed to exist!"

Guo Shouyun finished speaking categorically, and after letting everyone digest it, "Kelly, you are the human resources director of the head office. So your main task next is to cooperate with Chen Shijun and David to build Facebook and YouTube as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!"

After the other person nodded, "Okay, that's all I have to say, which of you still has questions?"

"Boss, where will the working capital of the new company come from?"

Tim George spoke.

The funds are related to the company's shares, as well as his future interests, so they must be dealt with clearly from the beginning. Most companies don't survive because of problems with the financial and distribution systems in the beginning.

"I invest privately. Of course, you, as the founder of the company, will get the shares after the company goes public. ”

After three years of hard work in shopping malls, Guo Shouyun's attitude towards equity is no longer the same as at the beginning, thinking that more is better. Now, as long as he can guarantee absolute control of the company, he doesn't mind using equity to keep the company's elite.

"Boss, do you have any requirements for the scale of LinkedIn's issuance of ABS bonds?"

Dunko Verne, CFO of the head office, asked

"No, the amount of bonds to be issued is determined based on the actual situation of LinkedIn. Once you have the results, hand me a report. In addition, in the future, 40% of the profits of each subsidiary will be handed over to the head office, which will be used by the head office. …… Who has a problem?"

This time no one spoke again. The amount of information released by Guo Shouyun is a bit large, and they need to go back and slow down, think about it, and then express their interests.

"Then the meeting, David, come with me!"

David Sachs nodded and walked out of the conference room after Guo Shouyun.

"Sit!"

"Thank you boss!"

"How's the talk with Alcatel?"

"It's been negotiated. Lucent has agreed to acquire our CDMA R&D division and patents for $218 million. ”

"Not bad!" Guo Shouyun nodded with satisfaction. The price of 218 million is already a high price for the CDMA division of Ruby.

"Boss...!"

"Say whatever you want. ”

David Sachs nodded, "I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be the CEO of Facebook." ”

"Why?" Guo Shouyun had already vaguely guessed the reason.

"I don't think I'm capable of what you would expect from a Facebook CEO!"

"So you're resigning!"

Looking at Guo Shouyun's deep eyes, David Sachs felt an invisible pressure. But after a moment's hesitation, he nodded.

"Yes!"

"What position did Lucent give you?" After a moment of silence, Guo Shouyun suddenly asked.

"You... How do you know?"

"You've been in the most contact with Lucent during this time. The only one who can make you give up the position of CEO of Ruby's subsidiary is Lucent. After a pause, "Don't worry, I'm just asking." I won't put obstacles in the way of your resignation. However, as a senior executive of the company, you signed a non-compete agreement at the beginning. ”

"I understand. Lucent wants me to be their president of Asia, and it has nothing to do with the Internet!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, he believed that the reason for David Sachs's resignation must be more than just the president of Asia. However, since the other party has decided to leave, he doesn't want to make useless redemptions.

"I will approve your resignation report as soon as possible, and I hope you can succeed in your new position!"

"Thank you. If you're okay, I'll leave first!"

Guo Shouyun nodded. David Sachs walked out of the office after putting Facebook's plan on the table.

Looking at his back, Guo Shouyun sighed in his heart. David Sachs has been the CEO of Ruby for two years with great success. That's why he decided to sell the company's original business, reorganize the organizational structure of Ruby Company, and hand over Facebook, which he values most, to the other party. However, Guo Shouyun thought that he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but he was easily rejected by the other party.

"I hope you won't regret it later!"

Picking up the Facebook plan on the table, Guo Shouyun's eyebrows showed a hint of thought. No one knows better than him the future value of Facebook. So, naturally, the creator of it should be chosen with great caution. Of course, he didn't think about Zuckerberg, but this Xiaozha is still in high school in White Plains. Let a high school student be the CEO of Facebook? He doesn't want to be ridiculed by all Americans.

Moreover, if a high school student becomes the CEO of the company, what will the elites of LinkedIn and PayPal think?

Fortunately, in the past three years, LinkedIn has had enough excellent managers in its talent pool for him to choose from.

"It looks like I'm going to have to keep an eye on Facebook in the future. ”
