Chapter 40: Youtube

Sean Parker is a driven, unresilient person, so he needs a COO to manage the day-to-day work. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe's like a rock star, he lives a debauched and unbridled life, and he has a very bad reputation in Silicon Valley. But he is a man of considerable mind and experience, and the strengths and weaknesses of the standard are quite sharp.

So he's a good fit for a startup, he can work for weeks on end with a goal, sleep in the office, and then go back to work for days after it's done.

So Sid's arrangement for him was, "Sean (Parker), let's be honest, you're not the type to be honest and come to work on time every day." Sid leaned forward and stared into Sean (Parker's) eyes, his eyes blazing.

"Are you so sure?" asked Sean (Parker) with a smile.

"9 to 5 every day, commuting to and from work at a fixed time, no partying, no hiking, what do you think?" Sid leaned back and asked with a relaxed expression.

"Okay, okay, you've caught my weakness. Sean (Parker) spread his hands and smiled, "So what are you going to do?"

"As the president, you don't need to manage the day-to-day affairs, you have only one task, to solve the main technical problems and early creative work. Sid's words are the most accurate use of Sean (Parker).

"Just early creative work?" Sean (Parker) keenly grasped the crux of Sid's words, "Do you want to kick me out halfway?"

"Come on, Sean (Parker), stop pretending. Sid's smile was tinged with a hint of hideousness, "You're just a guy who 'likes the new and hates the old', can you really run a website for a lifetime?"

"Haha, you're a pirate who is constantly trying to satisfy your desires with new prey. Sid's eyes flashed with bright colors, "Just like me." ”

"Hahahaha-" Sean (Parker) finally let out a hearty laugh, and the two young men couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for each other in the laughter, which was also the first time that Sean (Parker) had this feeling since his best friend Sean Fanning.

He looked up at Sid carefully, black hair, deep face, black and blue rare demon eyes with the unique vigor and sharpness of young people, but in the vigorous demeanor, there was a depth of weight.

It's easy to have a good impression at first sight.,It's a pretty relatable guy.。

"And how many people have you hired now?" Sean (Parker) finally began to ask the actual critical question.

"If you agree, then we've got our first start-up employee. Sid smiled and shrugged.

"What!?" Sean (Parker) couldn't help but look at Sid dumbfounded, he didn't expect to finally meet a guy who was even more daring than himself today, and dared to start recruiting people with almost nothing.

"Well, it's not like it's completely nothing. Sid shrugged and turned to look at the assistant, who immediately pulled a document from his briefcase.

Sid took it and opened it for Sean (Parker) to see, "Our company has been registered, and the registered place is in the Cayman Islands. Then, when you, the president, arrive, my team on the Lion Group side will form a finance team. ”

"In addition, my COO, Shirley (Sandberg), will select a person who is good at business management to be the COO of the new company. He will assist you in managing the company and managing the day-to-day operations of the company while you are away. ”

Sid's corporate structure is completely built around Sean (Parker), a wayward guy. Others don't feel anything when they hear it, but to Sean (Parker), he immediately has the feeling that he has a confidant who hates to meet late.

"And then, there's this. Sid took a document from his assistant and handed it over, "This is your employment contract, $200,000 a year, 5% of the start-up shares." As for the other details, you can take it back and look at it slowly. Of course, it's okay to find a lawyer to look it up. ”

"No, don't look at it. Sean (Parker) took the pen from Sid's assistant and signed his name on the contract in duplicate.

"Oh, you just believe me that?" Sid couldn't help but smile faintly when he saw Sean (Parker)'s decisive appearance.

"I just trust my own vision. In the end, Sean (Parker) was still tsundere.

After signing these trivial tasks, Sid took out another folder and handed it over.

"Is this?" asked Sean (Parker) as he flipped through it, a little surprised.

"It's a Silicon Valley house, and the keys are in it, and I've had people rent it for a year, and I think it can be used as an early base for our business. Sid shrugged, "In the early days of the website, I didn't think it needed to be too formal, or if Silicon Valley startups were too formal, they would lose their souls." ”

"Exactly!" Sean (Parker) snapped his fingers and laughed.

"OK, there should be nothing else. Sid thought about it, and suddenly thought of one more thing that he almost forgot, he patted his head: "Oh, by the way, tomorrow the finance team and COO will be in place, and then the start-up capital will also be injected, you can think about how to do the framework first, and there is also the problem of recruitment." ”

"Start-up capital?" asked Sean (Parker) curiously.

"Yes, yes, $5 million. Sid inadvertently dropped a bombshell, "Renting a server and the upfront personnel expenses are all in it, of course, Sean (Parker), you are the final decision-maker." ”

"But don't let me down. Sid looked at Sean (Parker) with intently eyes.

Sean (Parker) also looked back at Sid without showing weakness, and after a moment he said firmly, "Of course! ”

Then, just as Sid got up to leave, Sean (Parker) asked one last question: "By the way, have you figured out the name of our website?"

"Of course!" Sid smiled and nodded, "It's called Youtube!"

――――――――――――――――――――

"Hey, that's a lavish plane. A young man with short brown hair in a round felt hat looked around at Sid's newly purchased ACJ319 private jet with an unhappy look.

"Shut up, doctor!" another young Asian girl unceremoniously snorted the young man in the hat back.

"Okay, I said you two little couple, if you don't quarrel for a day, I'll be thankful. At this time, a fat man with dark hair spoke to persuade.

"Who-who said I liked this violent cow!" stammered the young man in the hat at once, but his demeanor was unconvincing.

"Hmph!" the beautiful Asian girl immediately turned away: "I'm going to check the effect of the satellite dish." ”

"No, I'm wrong!" the young man in the hat immediately relented.
