Although Du Qiu said it was relaxed, he actually attached great importance to iMail in his heart, and gave up his vacation for the first time after crossing over, and returned to Silicon Valley on the same day as Jennifer, but Jennifer was in a hurry, and he flew back, he was very leisurely, and drove back in a Bentley.

When he returned to Chen Dayou's luxury villa in Atherton, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening, and Du Qiu had just driven the car to the garage door when he heard a familiar voice behind him saying: "Wow! Mr. Du, billionaires and billionaires are different, and the grade has risen a lot." ”

"Xiao Wu, when did you arrive?"

"Arrived yesterday at noon. Xiao Wu walked to the side of the car in three steps and two steps, and begged: "Mr. Du, don't stop in, let me drive out for a while, and have a good time." ”

"Don't you know how to drive?"

"I got my driver's license two months ago. Xiao Wu waited for the car to stop, and immediately sat in the passenger seat, touched around, and exaggeratedly shouted: "The texture is really good, beautiful! luxury! I like it!"

"If you like it, go buy one. Du Qiu made a big move, deliberately pulled out the car key and threw it to her, and said: "With your current net worth, you can buy almost 10 cars." ”

"Cut! It turned out that I bought it myself, I thought that Mr. Du would say ......" Xiao Wu raised the car key, imitated Du Qiu's accent, and said: "Xiao Wu, for the sake of your hard work, this car is for you." ”

Du Qiu was stunned and said, "You haven't reversed the jet lag yet, are you, daydreaming?"

"Isn't it already night?" Xiao Wu moved to the driver's seat, started the car with great interest, and said, "I'll just walk around the neighborhood twice and come back soon." ”

"Let me take my luggage first. Du Qiu took out two bulging duffel bags from the trunk, then knocked on the car body and said, "Okay, you can drive away." ”

"Okay. ”

Four days ago, when Chen Dayou decided to skip the invitation to the internal test and directly launch iMail to the market, Du Qiu called Xiao Wu to come to the United States, because iMail will abandon IBM and Oracle when operating, and use Snapdragon's self-developed Android operating system and Anjie database.

Android is built on the basis of BSD 4.4, BSD has been polished by the University of California, Berkeley for decades, and has many precedents for academic and commercial applications, and it is already very mature, and Silicon Valley also has a lot of talent in this area, so there is no problem.

In 1995, there was no precedent for large-scale application, and the performance, function and stability were questionable, and there was a lack of relevant operation and maintenance personnel, so Xiao Wu had to be called from China to provide technical support and personnel training.

Du Qiu stood by the garage and saw that Xiao Wu was very skilled in changing gears and turning around, and he could indeed drive, so he put his mind at ease and walked into the villa with his bag.

"Du Qiu, I'm back. Xue Liping was very surprised to see Du Qiu's whole body look new, and looked up and down and said: "This dress is very good-looking, handsome and fashionable, much better than Dayou's taste, take him with me next time I buy clothes." ”

Du Qiu looked around the living room and saw that she was the only one at home, so she asked, "Qin Weizhen, are they gone?"

"I left, and I returned home the day before yesterday. Have you eaten dinner, do you want me to make you something to eat?"

"Ate on the way. Du Qiu put the travel bag on the table next to the sofa and said, "Aunt Xue, I bought you a few small gifts in Los Angeles......

"Mom, you're not an outsider, you can take the gift yourself. Chen Dayou poked his head from the circular staircase on the second floor and beckoned: "Du Qiu, come up, come up, I'll talk to you about the company." ”

Du Qiu ignored him, unhurriedly took out a few very distinctive crafts from his bag and gave them to Xue Liping, and then went to the private reception room on the second floor with her smile on her face.

The private reception room is decorated in a typical American style, you can see a fireplace when you enter the door, surrounded by four large and luxurious leather sofas, Chen Dayou sits on the sofa on the left, holding a wine glass in one hand and a cigar in the other, looking like a gangster or political leader in a Hollywood movie, but unfortunately he is too young and does not have a deep bearing of old scheming, which seems a little nondescript.

"Brother Chen, in another 20 years, you can play "The Godfather 4". ”

"I always think that the database that Xiao Wu is engaged in is a bit empty, iMail should use Oracle first, and then slowly migrate when the time is ripe. Chen Dayou didn't talk nonsense with Du Qiu, and went straight to the point: "The most important thing in email is stability, we are not short of money now, why take the risk?"

"The Internet is very different from traditional industries, and if you use Oracle, you will be miserable about the licensing and service fees in the future, so it is better to customize it yourself from the beginning. Du Qiu knew the future direction, resolutely did not jump into the pit of Oracle, and said with relief: "I participated in the research and development of Anjie database throughout the whole process, Xiao Wu did a very good job, and I must have confidence in her." ”

"Anjie doesn't even have the official version of 1.0 now, how can you tell me to be confident?"

"The current version 0.93 has been tested for more than two months, the performance is very stable, the performance is no problem, although the functions are a little lacking, but iMail can be customized according to your needs. Du Qiu poured some whiskey, sat down on the sofa opposite, and said, "If you are really not at ease, we can change the internal test plan that we gave up before and make a batch test." ”

"How?"

"Change the invitation-based internal test to a limited internal test, such as a daily limit of 10,000 places, whoever grabs the first to register, which has two benefits, one can control the number of samples, test the performance and stability of the database, and the other can ......."

"The second can make the already popular iMail even more sought-after. Chen Dayou instantly understood, nodded with his finger holding the cigar, and said in a full manner: "Du Qiu, you TM is really a trick, eat all over the world, you used to do this when Yunda sold notepads, right?"

Du Qiu raised his glass, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

"If it is a limited internal test, with the company's current level of software and hardware, it can completely cope with it. Chen Dayou put down his cigar and wine glass, picked up the memo on the coffee table, and said while flipping through it: "The server ordered on the 26th will take at least 10 days to arrive, I originally planned to launch iMail on November 18, and now I can get to the ...... in advance."

Du Qiu had a bad taste attack and proposed, "How about moving forward to November 11th?"

"No, no, no, November 11 is still a bit late. Chen Dayou had no concept of Double 11, and after planning for a moment in the memo, he said: "The day after tomorrow, the limited internal test will start on November 1st!"

Although Du Qiu was very confident in Anjie, he was still taken aback by him, and said: "You are too anxious, Xiao Wu has just come to Silicon Valley, and he is not familiar with the environment here, and it takes time to train employees." ”

"10,000 years is too long. Chen Dayou picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in it in one go, and said fiercely: "Anyway, it's a tightrope on the cliff, if you want to do it, let it go! I will give double the bonus to let Xiao Wu speed up the training progress." ”

Coincidentally, Xiao Wu happened to walk in from outside the door at this time, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, is the double bonus real?"

"If you can train the company's employees within a month, I will not only give you double the bonus, but also give you a sports car privately!"

"Mr. Chen is generous enough, I took this job, even if I don't sleep every day, I have to do it well. Xiao Wu was overjoyed and said: "I think Mr. Du's sports car is very good, so you can give me a similar one when the time comes." ”

"Didn't ask......" Chen Dayou reacted quickly, changed his words halfway through, turned his head and asked Du Qiu, "What car did you buy?"

Du Qiu took a sip of whiskey and said jokingly: "I said it was Mazda, do you believe it?"

"I believe it, Xiao Wu, if you complete the task in a month, I will give you a Mazda. ”

"Don't Mr. Chen, Mr. Du lied to you, he drove a Bentley ......"

The three of them are all old friends, and after a long absence, they met again after a long absence, and after joking and chatting for a while, Xiao Wu brought the topic back to business and asked: "Anjie is a lightweight database, it's not complicated at all, there are a lot of people in Silicon Valley who are engaged in databases, why don't you recruit a few to iVie, Mr. Chen?"

"Before financing, iVie was going to be poor as pants, how could there be money to recruit cattle. Chen Dayou first cried poor, then got up and took out a folder from the bookcase next to the fireplace, and said to Du Qiu: "As soon as I arrived in Silicon Valley at the end of July, I began to collect talents in the database. ”

Du Qiu took it and looked at it, and found that there were seven or eight resumes in it, so he asked, "There are so many candidates, why didn't you take them out before?"

"These are high-end talents, and before financing, iVie can't give a high salary, and must be compensated in stock options. Chen Dayou slapped Xiao Jiujiu and said as a matter of course: "The total stock option reward pool is only 5%, and if it is accounted for by others, the two of us will be able to get less in the future." ”

iVie's option reward pool is not only used to attract new senior talents, but also to motivate old employees like Du Qiu and Chen Dayou, if the two are well managed, so that the company can go public next year, you can take away 20% of the remaining options in the reward pool, this share does not matter to Du Qiu, but it is very attractive to Chen Dayou, because after financing, he accounts for less than 7% of iVie shares.

"You brought people in earlier, and now you don't have to rush. ”

"Before the fundraising, we didn't have much database business, and it was a waste to bring these people in......"

In Chen Dayou's explanation, Du Qiu put the folder on the coffee table upright, folded his hands, closed his eyes and prayed, and prayed for five or six seconds before picking it up and looking at the first resume.

"Mr. Du, what were you doing just now? I don't dare to come out. ”

"Before the ancients visited the virtuous, they had to bathe and change clothes, burn incense and pray to show their sincerity. Du Qiu looked through it and said, "So I prayed to Confucius just now, hoping that there is a big cow suitable for iVie here." ”

"This is the United States, it is estimated that worshipping Confucius will not work, and you should worship Jesus. ”

Of course, Du Qiu didn't pray to Confucius, he just hoped to find the cattle man he had heard of before crossing in these resumes, maybe the prayer took effect, or he hit the big luck, and he really found one, and he was a very powerful cowman.

"Diane Green, a dual master's degree from MIT and the University of California, Berkeley, has worked at Sybase, Tianteng Computer and Silicon Map ......" Du Qiu read a short paragraph of his resume and said: "This person has worked in both database companies and server manufacturing companies, and has a lot of experience in software and hardware management, which is a good fit for iVie." ”

Xiao Wu leaned over and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's a woman, I thought it was a man, if she joins the company, our company's database business will be a woman's world." ”

Chen Dayou doesn't care about gender, but is a little concerned about age, and said: "She is 40 years old this year, and there is not much room for future development, so it is better to recruit someone younger." ”

Not much room for future development?

The big guy founded VMare in 1998, became a director of Google in 2012, and became CEO of Google Cloud in 2015......

"Now the company is full of young people in their 20s, inexperienced, impulsive, and needs to have an older person to take charge of the field. Du Qiu re-read the rest of his resume, and then confirmed again: "Just her, contact the headhunter and arrange an interview with iVie as soon as possible." ”

Chen Dayou was a little entangled, looked at his resume and said: "This estimate is not easy to dig, she is currently the CEO of a small company she founded, and if she wants her to join iVie, she has to buy the entire company." ”

"Then it's an acquisition!"

This great god must be dug up, you must know that VMare has a market value of more than $40 billion in 20 years, and is a leader in cloud computing infrastructure and data center virtualization......

It doesn't matter what the market value is, but cloud computing and virtualization are strategic-level products, and they must be laid out in advance......
