Chapter 10: The Greatest Confusion of My Life
Reid Hastings said honestly: "I believe that you will definitely have greater development in the future, but at the moment, I don't see what you are capable of in other areas. ”
"Can you tell me about the biggest dilemma of the company right now? Maybe, I can do more. ”
An annual salary of $30,000 is not bad for a fledgling newcomer, and there is a 2% option bonus, but Roy thinks of his accumulated debts and messy environment, and he feels that he needs to work harder.
"Is it a dilemma?" Reed mused, "There are indeed many, and I think that the urgent problem to be solved at present is the development of the market, so that more people know about our business, so that more people can use our services, and with a certain customer base, the company's new round of financing will be easier." ”
"I'm willing to accept this challenge, so ......" Roy looked into the other party's eyes seriously, revealing a firm and persistent conviction.
"You say so, but how do you do it?" Reid asked.
"Trust me, Mr. Hastings, I will not disappoint you, and I will be your best partner. Roy said.
The light outside the shutters was getting dimmer, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and the trees were swaying gently.
Leaning less, the indoor lights seemed to have become a lot brighter, Reed put down the coffee in his hand, and said slowly: "The annual salary is 40,000, 2% option, if you can increase the number of user subscriptions by 100,000 in 2 months, your annual salary will be adjusted to 80,000 US dollars, OK?"
"Deal. ”
Roy smiled and stretched out his right hand, and the two of them shook their palms hard and smiled at each other.
They happily walked out of the office, talking and laughing, and said goodbye downstairs.
Reid asked, "Do you need me to give you a ride?"
"No, thank you. Not far away. Roy politely declined.
"Bye-bye. ”
"See you tomorrow. ”
If you want others to look up to you, you have to show some pride, such as control over life, so similar to low-level favors such as hitchhiking, rubbing food, and borrowing money, don't squander it at will.
The start was so difficult that every bit had to be calculated.
Roy watched Reed drive away, and his heart was full of emotion, he was undoubtedly very lucky to meet such an open-minded, rational and far-sighted boss, he buried this gratitude in the bottom of his heart, and worked hard to repay it in his future work.
As he walked, he thought that he had finally found a job after all the hard work, and at this moment he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and a long way to go, and he didn't know whether he could fulfill his promise to Reed, so he could only work hard step by step.
"Boss?" Ulysses interrupted Roy's deep thought.
"Huh?"
"Have we found a new job?"
"That's right. This will be our place of refuge for the time being, and we will accumulate strength and strength here, and hope that you can calm down. Roy reassured.
"Haha, boss, you are still looking like today, and I believe that the next miracle will come soon. ”
"Thank you. Roy wanted to warn the other party to be more comfortable at work and not to make trouble casually, but when he thought that he had just found a job, at such a festive moment, it was unkind to criticize the other party.
"You've been talking for a long time in the office, talking about salary?"
"Sort of. My annual salary is 40,000 yuan, and yours is 20,000 yuan. Roy then encouraged: "My boss promised me that if I did a good job, a raise would be just around the corner." ”
Ulysses excitedly, "Sounds pretty good. Did you sign the contract?"
"Nope. Today, the HR and accounting departments have left work, and the onboarding procedures will start tomorrow morning. ”
“BOSS。 ”
"Huh?"
"Shall we just walk to the bus stop and take the bus home?"
"Or else?"
Ulysses pointed to a taxi that had just passed by and said, "I think we can take a taxi with our current status." ”
Damn Fake, beat your uncle, I was also a legendary CEO in my previous life, and I was not so hypocritical as you.
Roy thinks about his future life and calculates himself and lives within his means, while Ulysses spends all his time drinking and being dashing and debauched, and this scene is simply a critical injury to him.
"Ulysses, the future will definitely be fine, luxury cars, beautiful women, money villas, everything you want. But now......" Roy invited, pointing to a nearby bookstore, "and we should invest what little savings we have in personal growth, like books." Only in this way will we continue to lead and move forward step by step. ”
"It's a boss. ”
When Ulysses heard this, he happily followed Roy into the bookstore and began to pick them out.
The scale of this bookstore is not small, the area of more than 100 square meters is divided into five areas by six aisles, and the books of various subjects are arranged on the shelves in different categories.
"What books are you going to read?" Roy thought, "Inspirational, Marketing, Popular Science, Science, Literature, Architecture, History, or some magazines and newspapers?"
In the era of the information explosion, it is not easy to pretend to be a reader.
Roy thought about it, and finally picked a few magazines, the books were too expensive, and the price of the magazines was relatively acceptable. When he had finished picking, he handed it to Ulysses, who was waiting at the cash register.
"Scientific American", "Harvard Business Review", "Time Magazine", deserves to be the boss. ”
Ulysses put them in the checkout with the four or five books he had chosen, walked out of the bookstore, and went straight home.
After taking the bus for more than half an hour, I simply ate some fast food after getting off the bus, and finally returned to the harbor of the soul - home.
"Ulysses, how much money do you have?" The money for the meal just now was paid by Roy, and his money is really not much, and it can support a day or two, so ask the other party about the situation.
"Nope. ”
"No?"
"Yes, no. I had already spent all of my money when I bought the book just now. ”
Damn Fake, this unreliable bastard of TMD, this poor pocket, what he was yelling at just now? I really wanted to pry his head open to see if it was seawater or fresh water seeping into it.
This is not money and still plays eggs, even if you find a job, it is far from quenching your thirst.
Roy looked at Ulysses' heartless appearance, and couldn't help but ask the biggest confusion in his life: "Hey, Ulysses, we have no money, aren't you worried at all?"
"Worried?" Ulysses inserted the key into the keyhole, opened the door, hung his coat on the hanger, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What are you worried about?"
Roy followed in, closed the door, tore off the tie around his neck, and said seriously: "If you don't have money, you will be hungry, even if you don't have to pay taxes and pay extra bills, it's still difficult to understand?"
"Oh, this one. Ulysses suddenly realized: "Of course, of course don't worry, because there is a boss with you, with you, but there is never a predicament that you can't get rid of." ”
Ah, my heart hurts, you are like this, you will lose me.
Roy felt angry, upset and irritable, he lay on the sofa, glimpsed the only double bed in the bedroom, he felt in a trance that the two of them were not superiors and subordinates, let alone brothers, friends, or stars and fans, but the little two who shared the same bed, if it weren't for the fact that there was no memory of the two of them in his head, Roy really thought he was gay.
When I thought that the two of them would have to sleep in the same bed and hug each other at night, I felt that the chrysanthemums were tight and nightmares were repeated.
"Don't!"
