"Welcome to the party?"

Roy was reminded by Mark, and suddenly remembered that he had been running around for company financing day and night these days, and he had completely forgotten about the welcome party.

This welcome party was promised by Roy's Bole - Reed Hastings on the day of Roy's successful interview, it was supposed to be held on Friday, but because of his busy work, it was constantly postponed, and it was not until a few days ago that Reed booked a small event space in the bar, and colleagues could socialize, dance, and enjoy themselves while enjoying food and wine.

But now, Roy as a betrayer of negative characters, does he have the face to go?

Roy packed up his papers and hurried to the venue as he complained, "Isn't it what you do best at going against Hastings?

Mark said, "We're talking about big things, making big decisions, you know? Do I have to deal with Reed for this little thing? We've had enough conflicts. ”

"You keep this kindness, don't you? Since you betrayed, then be thorough, don't be a bitch and want to set up an archway. ”

"Heh, aren't you the same, why don't you want to go to the party, it's not because you want to take care of your face, you know, when you agree to cooperate with me, your face is worthless. ”

Roy laughed angrily: "Without my worthless face, can you get investment? ”

"Ridiculous, without my connections, you can know so many investors?Isn't it too early to unload the mill and kill the donkey, didn't your mother teach you to be grateful?"

……

Stepping out of the elevator, Roy didn't go to the parking lot with Mark, but went straight to the street, called a taxi himself, and went to the party alone, he really couldn't stand Mark's self-righteous idiot for a moment.

Greedy, short-sighted, incompetent, naïve......

Roy felt that all the negative words he could think of could be applied to Mark, an idiot, and if it weren't for the fact that he needed an older entrepreneur to prop up his façade, he would have wanted to do it alone.

Damn Fake, a man with such a gentle personality was broken down by Mark, which shows how ...... the other party is What the hell.

The point is, this is not the most embarrassing, the next welcome party is the spotlight that makes people embarrassed. It's a hell of a day.

Think about the welcome meeting for a while, my colleagues cordially welcomed me to join the company, and strongly asked myself to come to the stage to say a few words, so what should I say? Say thank you for your concern, I am going to betray here and be your competitor?

Oh, my God. I'm going crazy. Mark that bastard, if he had a bit of brains, would know how unpleasant this kind of scene is!

"Sir, sir, are you alright? The taxi driver asked.

"Oh, no. ”

"It's here. ”

"Oh, thanks. Roy opened the door and got out of the car.

"Sorry, you haven't paid yet, it's $19. ”

"No need to look for it. Thank you. ”

Roy wandered around the door of the bar, distraught, thinking he must be crazy and that he shouldn't have come to this damn welcome party.

Am I wrong? Should I honestly work for others, stay up for ten or eight years, and then accumulate a certain amount of capital, contacts, and experience, and finally quit my job and start a business?

Maybe at that time, my pride and ambition have already disappeared into the trivialities of life, and now I dare to fight hard, shouldn't I fight for wealth? What's more, I still owe a lot of debt, my ex-girlfriend of the school girl also cuckolded me, and Ulysses still expects me to create miracles, how can I live up to the world's expectations of me.

That's right! I didn't do anything wrong myself!

If God does not take it, it will be blamed, and when it is not welcomed, it will suffer.

He suddenly thought of McDonald's, a famous national catering brand, when the McDonald's brothers opened a very popular fast food restaurant in a small town, known as the father of McDonald's, Ray Crocker wanted to open this chain to the whole country, but the McDonald's brothers only wanted to stick to one city. In order to achieve the purpose of expanding fast food restaurants, Ray Crocker completely squeezed out the McDonald's brothers, and then there was the glory of today's McDonald's brand, and only then did it have a classic case written into Harvard Business School.

Ray Crock, the father of McDonald's, is undoubtedly great and celebrated, and without him, there would be no McDonald's today. (Appendix 1)

If I could create a great business like Crocker, I think at that time, who would accuse me?

Well, no matter how it ends, I'm leaving, and this welcome party is not for me.

"Hi, Roy. ”

Roy, who hadn't taken two steps, looked back and saw that it was Reed Hastings, and he smiled awkwardly, "Hi. ”

Reed smiled and said, "Why don't you go in, the big guys are waiting for you." ”

"Oh oh, I think, I'm a little unwell lately, ......"

"-I've been too busy at work lately, haven't I?" Reed smiled and grabbed Roy's arm, "Let's go, go in and meet with everyone." ”

Roy's newly accumulated ambition was shattered by the warmth of reality, and he couldn't help but follow Reed's side, slurding and not knowing what to say.

"Right...... Not great. ”

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry Reed, it's not appropriate to say that right now, but I want to tell you now. "Roy doesn't want to delay any longer, it will be embarrassing for each other, have a showdown early, and be able to concentrate on things sooner.

Reed stopped, looked back at Roy's serious face, and asked.

Roy took a deep breath and explained, "Mark betrayed you, and he called me too, and I agreed. ”

"And then?" Reed didn't seem to be surprised, unimpressed, just quietly looking at each other, full of scrutiny.

"I don't know what contradictions you have...... I myself am on Mark's side because of interests. I appreciate your appreciation and respect you very much, but I need this opportunity even more...... Whatever I do, I'm going to do well...... You may think I'm crazy, you may think I'm just a narrow-eyed, inexperienced little kid, but...... I'll prove it to others. ”

"I know. ”

"You know?"

"I just found out a few days ago, a couple of investors gave me news privately, telling me that you were raising money privately, and I was ...... I was surprised to understand what Mark was going to do, and I didn't know why he had changed, but listen to me, kid, you might have been taken advantage of by him. ”

Roy could feel Reed's heart ebb and flow, it wasn't as calm as he looked, he must not be feeling good these days, Roy said, "I know." Seeking skin with a tiger is like dancing on the tip of a knife, winning is exciting, losing is doomed. ”

Reed asked, "Then why are you still there?"

"Once there is a stain on life, it is difficult to wash it again, and no one will hire a liar. There's no turning back. ”

"You can, Roy, I can see that you're a talented young man. Reed reassured.

Roy said: "Thank you, I hope we will have the opportunity to fight together in the future." ”

Reed let out a long sigh, patted Roy on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, we should go in." ”

"But...... Isn't this a welcome party? I ......."

Reed smiled mysteriously: "This is also your farewell party." ”
