Chapter 39: The Dark Tide Surges

The moon stars are scarce, and the lights are shining.

With the discussion of "personnel recruitment" and "sales strategy" over, the time has reached 9 p.m., and the huge office area is deserted.

Roy excitedly packed his things and went out with everyone, ready to go to the barbecue together to celebrate the establishment of the new team.

"Boss, there's still someone here." Fern was surprised and pointed to a girl lying on the table in the corner.

Roy looked over there, it seemed a little familiar, and when he walked in a little more, he saw that it was Debra, he hesitated, woke up the other party with a smile, and pulled her in front of everyone and introduced: "This Debra, the company's new recruit...... Assistant. Then he introduced Debra to the rest of the company.

The crowd cheered Debra in caco.

Infected by the pleasant atmosphere, Debra also laughed, and took the confusion and loss to the bottom of her heart.

"Let's go, Debra, let's go have a barbecue together, the most important thing to work here in the future is to be happy, remember, you are the best." Roy said duplicitously comfortingly.

Because of the first formal dinner, there must be a drink in the evening, so the people who have a car do not drive themselves, but fight together.

Debra, who walked alone with Roy, asked in a low voice, "Can I work here in the future?" ”

"Of course. I was going to let you work here, but Mark's bastard got a kick in the middle, so you're welcome back. Roy laughed.

"I ...... Will it be ...... You're messed up at work. ”

"Of course not. Forgot what I just told you? The most important thing is to be happy when you work here, and besides, your ability is not bad. ”

"Thank you...... I don't know what to say......" Debra's tears flowed down her eyes as if they had been washed into a jewel, bright and beautiful.

Roy gently stroked her shoulder, and said angrily: "Fool...... "You are worried about yarn, the person who should cry should be me Okay, I really don't know how long it will take to train you to be competent, and I don't know how much work I have to add."

Debra gently leaned on Roy's shoulder, gently telling about the previous work experience, and her tone revealed confusion and inferiority.

Roy listened quietly, this cliché plot, he could guess it before the other party said it: the work is difficult, I don't know where to start, the leadership requirements are complicated, and sexual innuendo is annoying......

……

Taxis are parked at an open-air barbecue shack, and the nightlife is just beginning for Americans, so business looks particularly good here.

They found a place to sit down, asked for a lot of barbecue and beer, and began to chatter nonsense, in the atmosphere of the boss deliberately praising and the subordinates deliberately low-key, everyone on the surface laughed and laughed, and a group of harmony.

Halfway through, Eddie walked to the bathroom drunk, and Ultraman followed, holding each other's shoulders and walking together.

"Do you think this new company has a future?" Eddie asked, seeming drunk.

"Well, there should be, otherwise we wouldn't be here to work, would we?" Ultraman responded paradoxically, he was already drunk, but not confused.

Eddie laughed twice and said in a low voice: "I am already middle-aged, and I was deliberately targeted by my boss in my previous company, so I came here." Fools believe in the bullshit DVD era, and I believe in strength and luck more than in that bubble future. ”

"Hey, it's not good for the boss to hear this."

"That immature underage? Don't be funny. Paranoia, arrogance, delusion, I don't know what he's thinking, he doesn't have any brains. ”

"Really?" Ultraman was noncommittal.

"Do you know who our competitors are? BesTV! BesTV stores are available in every city and region of the country, with complete video tapes and easy rental, with an annual profit of more than $1 billion. Look at us again, it's just a small workshop, and it's all to go to TMD's future era......"

Ultraman listened silently to Eddie's babbling complaints, and today's good mood was also ruined by this idiot, and he hesitated in his heart whether to tell Eddie's complaints to the boss.

……

On the other side, HR Vera called Roy alone and complained tentatively: "Boss, Ulysses is a bastard, and the members he recruits are also some naïve and arrogant embroidered pillows, and he also makes his own decisions and promises a lot of benefits that the company can't give, which makes it difficult for me to carry out my work." ”

"Tomorrow you will compile what you said into a document for me, and if it is not conducive to your work, I will emphasize discipline in the future." Roy reassured.

"I hope the boss can handle this problem well, otherwise HR will be useless, and anyone can casually mention some messy needs and lower the average line of employee quality."

"I understand you, Vera. But you also know that every company is always the most difficult to start with, and I hope you can be patient. In addition, Ulysses leads the sales team, and the sales team pays more attention to performance, as long as it is not excessive, let him go. ”

"But...... He's breaking the rules of the game......"

"Vera, rules are meant to be broken, especially in the early days of entrepreneurship, survival is the first priority!"

Roy had a feeling and thought of a future video service company called YouTube, which was eventually acquired by Google for $1.65 billion.

In fact, back in 2005, both Yahoo and Google launched their own video services. As large companies, they abide by various existing rules, and before the product is launched, they spend a lot of energy to negotiate copyright cooperation with film and television companies, NBA and other property owners. They put a lot of money into promotion, but the number of video users only grows linearly, and once the promotion is over, the number of active users will decline, and after more than a year of operation, the number of Google users is only a few million.

YouTube, which started a year later, is not subject to these existing rules. It can be seen from the emails that were later disclosed that its founder was actually unaware of many of the constraints. YouTube then went its own way, completely ignoring the existing rules, and soon had more than 100 million users worldwide, hundreds of times more than Google Video. (Appendix 1)

Therefore, in Roy's heart, the early development, the rules and everything will die. As long as it can stimulate the potential of the team and produce results, it is a good method.

Roy patiently explained his concept to Vera again, and as for whether the other party listened or not, only Vera herself knew.

When they returned to the table, Eddie seemed drunk and unconscious, leaning back on a stool and talking to himself.

The others gathered around Debra, laughing and teasing without a word, and Debra was overwhelmed, staggering, and any reply made everyone laugh. She doesn't have the domineering of the boss's assistant, as if she is like a shy little girl next door, a standard silly white sweetness.

When Roy saw this, he had a headache - there may be no secret to what Todebra will do in the future.

[PS] Appendix 1: After Google acquired YouTube, it naturally had to develop it arbitrarily without considering the rules, so Google spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to standardize it. However, YouTube has already gained hundreds of millions of users, and companies such as Microsoft and Yahoo are still developing according to the rules of the past, so it is understandable that the latter will soon withdraw from the video market.
