Alyssa took a sip of her coffee, her tone nonchalant, "You should make this decision." ”

Roy smiled heartily and nodded, "Thank you for your advice, please Miss Alyssa give me a list of talents, I think, I need their help." ”

"I don't know where your confidence comes from, but I warn you that you're making a risky move. ”

"If only I can get them. Roy said seriously, "I'm very short of capable partners right now. ”

Alyssa put down her coffee, stared at the other party and asked, "To be honest, do you think you will succeed in this venture?" After all, you have failed three times before, and this inertia is not so easy to break. (Appendix 1)

"Three times before?" Roy was taken aback, he didn't expect that the other party had already figured himself out, and the other party must have known about the debt in the bank.

Alyssa looked at the street outside the window and said to herself: "You are from an average background, you have no education, and you don't even have the grades you can get, if it were my father, he would definitely not invest in you." ”

"Then why are you?" Roy wiped a fine sweat, slightly nervous, this feeling of being seen through was as if he was naked in front of the other party's eyes, which made people ashamed.

"yes, I want to know the answer to that too. I've been priding myself on my excellent abilities since I was a child, but I didn't expect to become a gambler by feeling this time. Alyssa's tone was cold with loss.

"No, Miss Elisa, this investment is not a gamble, and the future success of our company will prove how sensitive your intuition is, and it will impress your father. ”

"Huh?" Alyssa was amused, and she smiled faintly: "You don't have to comfort me like this, you have already received the financing money, even if you don't pretend to be confident, I won't say anything." ”

What does it mean to pretend to be confident?!How can you mortals understand the superiority of a reborn like me?

"The results will speak for themselves, and I promise that in three months at most, your investment will increase tenfold at least. Roy swore by the charter ticket.

"Ten times? three months? Alyssa already doubts her vision, can such an arrogant entrepreneur really run a business well?

"Hahaha......" Roy suddenly laughed, leaning forward and backward, swaying left and right, the loneliness and loss behind the laughter made people feel depressed.

"Inexplicably!" said Alyssa, frowning.

Roy stopped his nervous madness and stared straight at the other party, his eyes were as deep as a whirlpool, and he said coldly, "Bet?"

"Why don't you dare!"

"Three months, ten times the market value!"

"It's a deal!"

Alyssa originally just wanted to talk to Roy casually, but she never expected that the result would be like this, which made her even more unsure of her choice and regretted investing in this stupid company. She put away her handbag, said a simple goodbye, stood up and turned to leave.

Roy looked at the beautiful figure, was silent for two seconds, and shouted from behind, "Alyssa, do you know why I'm so sure?"

Alyssa stopped.

Roy said firmly: "Because the first investor I met was you, and it was because of you that I was given the desire to achieve my goals." ”

Alyssa smiled coldly: "Let's save this for three months." In addition, I will send you the list of tainted elites you want by mail in 2 days. I don't have to send it. ”

Roy stood up and watched Elisa leave, his heart surging like a huge wave: Alyssa, I need you, I believe, you also need me.

San Francisco is located in the northern part of California, and in the Southern Bay Area, Silicon Valley, the world's famous high-tech industrial area, is located.

It was first a place where silicon-based semiconductor chips were researched and produced, hence the name. In the future, a large number of legendary Internet giants will be born here, such as Apple, Facebook, Google, Yahoo, etc., who are writing their own legends in this hot land.

Silicon Valley is backed by some of the top universities in the United States with strong research capabilities, such as Stanford University, the University of California, Berkeley, Santa Clara University, and many others.

Therefore, it was quite famous even in 1997.

Because of the convenient transportation, complete industrial structure, and low rent, Roy's Red Coral Company also settled here and rented a large garage-type house near the production area.

Now, he is in full swing interviewing for several important positions in the company: HR Supervisor, Operations Manager, Sales Manager.

These senior talents spend money to obtain information from headhunters, and then invite interviews themselves.

In his previous life, he had a certain amount of interview experience and his own employment preferences, but this knowledge did not form a system, so he now recruits people mostly by feeling.

He generally considers three qualities of candidates: 1. Positive emotions. 2. Ability to work. 3. Ask for options instead of high wages.

The first point is that the positive mood is easy to understand, that is, it is more optimistic than complaining, and not being an emotional trash can destroys a friendly atmosphere.

The second point is that there are different opinions on work ability, and sometimes it is difficult to accurately judge a person's ability through a resume and several interviews.

In addition, a good manager can often motivate subordinates, tap the potential of employees, and better achieve goals.

The third and most important point is that regardless of the employee's abilities, if he cares about compensation and not options in a startup, it means that he doesn't believe in the company's future prospects. Even if this person is very capable, he is not firmly bound to the interests of the company, and there will be a conflict of interest when making decisions, so he must not be used.

……

In an office that the Red Coral Company temporarily cleaned up, Roy was reading it carefully with a resume, holding a water cup in his right hand and putting water in his mouth, only to find that the water cup was already empty.

Ulysses pushed the door open and said, "Boss, there's one last one left this afternoon, and this is his resume." ”

"Okay, hard work. Roy took his resume and handed the glass to Ulysses, "Call him in." ”

Ulysses took the water and put it on the table, poured a glass of water for the interviewer, and left the office.

"Hello, I'm Roy, the owner of Red Coral, and I'm glad you came for an interview. ”

"Hello. "The interviewer was a skinny black man with a pair of glasses and a weak look.

Roy didn't say much nonsense, and also cut straight to the point: "Have you ever known about Red Coral before?"

"I saw the company profile from your company. The thin man's tone was calm, and there was a bit of certainty in his voice.

"Okay, please tell me about your understanding and expectations of the company. ”

"I learned that your company is in the film and television rental industry, which is similar to BesTV's business model, which seems to be a bit similar to a company called Netflix on the Internet...... I'm sorry, but that's all I know, because I haven't been exposed to this industry before, so I don't know where to start. ”

Roy nodded, judging from the communication information, the other party was a relatively pragmatic person, Roy then asked: "You have five years of work experience, you have been engaged in sales, and the highest position is sales manager, right?"

"That's right. ”

"What would you do if the company gave you a new team to lead them to expand into the market?"

"I will first familiarize myself with the characteristics of each member of the team, stand with everyone and work hard to find ways to achieve the company's goals. My request is very simple, I hope the company can set up a reasonable salary system to match my ......"

Roy observed, the other party responded fluently, decently, and the important thing was that he was not arrogant, so ambitious, and he could try to solicit it.

He bent down lightly and pulled out the sharp weapon he had already prepared.

[PS] Addendum 1: HR has a method of recruiting partners, HR will talk to the employee carefully, and he will find out if the person has experienced success, even if it is a small success, in the past. If the person experiences success very rarely, or at all, then it is very difficult to get things done - he does not have a gene in his bones that does not give up.

That's why investors value people who have succeeded more than people who have consistently failed.
