Chapter 30 Recruiting Talents
As of the end of 2001, the number of mobile phone users in China has exceeded 100 million, and if we look at the growth rate of this year, it may increase by another 20 million by the end of the year. As of the end of 2001 www.biquge.info the number of Internet users had just exceeded 20 million. ”
"That's why I chose to start my business with a wireless value-added business first!"
Lin Feng introduced it to Li Dong in detail.
"Wireless value-added business now has two big advantages, first, the rapid growth of mobile phones, with the technological update and competition of mobile phone manufacturers, a large number of low-cost mobile phones into the market, which is conducive to the growth of mobile phone users, and the functionality of mobile phones has been improved, laying a hardware foundation for the development of wireless value-added business. This market is predictable. Second, a clear profit model. The current mobile charging model solves the problem of user payment. Simply put, it is fast and profitable. ”
"Of course, from the perspective of user scale, the future space of the Internet is also huge, but the biggest problem of the Internet now lies in the profit model, and the three major portals are still relying on wireless services to maintain, which is very revealing. Why I started my love music network, it is also from this entry point, at present, my love music network can at least achieve profitability through ringtone downloading. ”
"Of course, the value of my love music is not in ringtone downloading, Mr. Li, I don't know if you have analyzed the usage habits of Internet users now, in order to watch news, chat, listen to music, and play games. The traffic of music websites is very large, and I can gather a large number of Internet users through my love music network. ”
"And precisely, there is a great overlap between music users and game users on the Internet!"
"As I said before, the biggest problem with the Internet at the moment is to make a profit, in fact, at this stage, there is already a better model, which is games. Last year, Shanda acted as an agent for South Korea's "Legend" and paid users through the way of selling point card time, and now it is developing very fast! I can predict now that through games, a large number of Internet companies will inevitably emerge, and even NetEase, I expect to turn over through games!
"So my next plan is also related to the game. ”
"Music, games, and maybe videos in the future, all of these are entertainment content that Internet users love, and my plan is to rely on the Internet and mobile Internet to create a content-based entertainment group. ”
"If nothing else, with the company's current profitability, it will be able to go public on the NASDAQ in about three years, in 2004. ”
"At the same time, these industries are companies that can accumulate a lot of cash flow, and in the next step, in order to expand the industrial chain, I will also invest in Internet startups in many directions, and set up an investment holding company specifically for the Internet industry. ”
Lin Feng rarely planned and laid out his career territory.
In order to bewitch Li Dong, Lin Feng didn't care about the so-called trade secrets. However, now Li Dong is a managing director of Goldman Sachs Asia, and he is also good at these business ideas, and even many large Internet companies are aware of them.
It's just that in actual operation, whether it can make quick decisions and implement effectively after seeing it.
In the process of development, all large companies will face countless choices and directions, how to choose, how to try and make mistakes.
And this is precisely Lin Feng's unique advantage, with the experience of his previous life, he knows which industry directions are the outlets, and which companies have the most potential.
When Lin Feng said this, he stared at Li Dong's eyes and said sincerely: "Mr. Li, to put it simply, you basically don't have much space at Goldman Sachs now, and I am very much lacking a partner like you, who has experience in foreign Wall Street investment banks and understands China's market and national conditions. …… Why don't you come to me and serve as COO? The future of China's Internet has unlimited opportunities that we should not miss!"
Li Dong was a little surprised, Lin Feng actually told him so much and so much detail when they met for the first time, and even the company did not shy away from telling him about its future plans. When I heard this sentence at this moment, I understood.
It turned out that Lin Feng had taken a fancy to him!
Li Dong was a little silent for a while.
Zhao Jun was a little dumbfounded when he heard it next to him, this guy is really good, and he actually stunned his senior brother Li Dong, who has always admired him.
Now it's even more exaggerated, he actually wants to poach Li Dong to go to him, the managing director of Goldman Sachs Asia, a gold-collar person with an annual salary of more than one million, to go to his small company?
Afraid that Li Dong would be embarrassed to reject Lin Feng in person, Zhao Jun laughed, raised his glass and said: "Lin Feng, don't tease you, what kind of person is Joe, MBA (Master of Business Administration) from HBS (Harvard Business School), you can'......t afford it! Come on, come on, let's drink!"
Lin Feng smiled, raised his glass and touched Zhao Jun, and took a sip.
To Zhao Jun's surprise, Li Dong did not show the intention of ridiculing Lin Feng's delusion, but fell into deep thought.
Lin Feng looked at Li Dong with a smile on his face, patiently waiting for his answer.
After a while, Li Dong raised his head and asked Lin Feng, "Why do you need someone like me?"
Lin Feng explained: "I am confident that I have a deep understanding and knowledge of China's wireless business and Internet business, and I have also found a very good technical partner. However, we have no experience in the capital market, in the management of large companies, or in the rational use of finance. We need a real COO and CFO in the team who can help us sort out the company's management and structure. We had plans to go public on the NASDAQ, but we were also unfamiliar with the financial statements and processes required to go public, and we lacked connections on Wall Street...... These are what you're good at!"
"Joe, maybe after all these years of experience in investment banking, you need to find a career of your own!"
Lin Feng's last sentence was like a bolt of lightning that slashed through Li Dong's heart.
He looked at Lin Feng, and a sentence flashed in his heart again: "He is a genius!"
Lin Feng's sincerity when he spoke, his full of confidence, and the last sentence that pierced deep into his heart touched Li Dong.
He raised his glass and smiled: "Thank you Mr. Lin for your appreciation and invitation, I may need to think about it." ”
Lin Feng also smiled.
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
…………
When Zhao Jun returned home at night, he happened to meet his father, who rarely came home early, and couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and talked to his father about today's incident.
"It seems that Li Dong seems to be moved, Dad, do you think that Internet companies are really so promising now, can Li Dong give up his senior management position at Goldman Sachs to join?"
Zhao Jun's father looked up at him and suddenly smiled: "This young man is very courageous...... , It's rare that you have made a few interesting friends, and you can still ask me this question, yes, know how to think, it means that you have really grown up...... In this way, it just so happens that the municipal government has a number of places for high-tech enterprises, and you let that Lin Feng declare it. The state is now encouraging and supporting this kind of emerging Internet enterprise. ”
After speaking, he patted Zhao Jun on the shoulder and entered the study.
Zhao Jun sat in a daze for a while, but he didn't expect his father to be optimistic about this piece, and asked him to sell Lin Feng a favor.
Suddenly I thought, should the relationship with Lin Feng be closer?
…………
When Lin Feng returned home, Ye Weiyu was curled up on the sofa, holding Harry and watching TV. A lazy and enchanting appearance.
Lin Feng suddenly found that his girlfriend was becoming more and more attractive as a mature woman, walked over and kissed her on the cheek, and asked with a smile, "How is shopping today?"
Ye Wei smiled coquettishly, her chin snuggled to the corner, and said with a smile: "Of course it's a bumper harvest." ”
Lin Feng saw that there were large and small shopping bags piled up in the corner, half of which were men's clothing.
Ye Weiyu jumped off the couch, and rolled to the side despite Harry, revealing a resentful little look. Pulling Lin Feng and walking towards the shopping bag: "It's easy to wait for you to come back, come on, try it on me, does it fit me?" ”
Lin Feng smiled bitterly: "Don't be in such a hurry, let me rest for a while and drink saliva first." ”
Ye Weiyu leaned over him and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "It's the smell of wine and smoke again!" Okay, you go wash your face and change your clothes before you try again, so that the new clothes don't smell bad." ”
Lin Feng hugged her slender and soft waist, leaned over and kissed her deeply, before smiling: "Is this a manly taste, okay? Let you go shopping, why do you always buy me clothes and buy more for yourself." ”
"I already have a lot of clothes, you have a lot of entertainment now, you can't just wear a few clothes back and forth, go wash up, come back and try it on for me!" Ye Weiyu said as she pushed him to the bathroom door.
Lin Feng entered the bathroom with a smile, washed his face, and looked at his still young and confident face in the mirror. Suddenly, I felt like I was in a dream.
The girlfriend who is still gentle, beautiful and virtuous, is still young, has a preliminarily successful career, and has just relaxed his chest and is full of ambition to recruit talents.
In this life, the life of this life gradually changed, and it gradually drifted away from the previous life.
He is no longer the middle-aged Lin Feng who was up and down for half a life in his previous life.
What does the future hold?
He hopes that he can still go on with the girl who only has himself in his heart outside.
The dream of the previous life seems to be moving towards reality step by step.
Lin Feng was full of expectations.
