Chapter 40: Divide and Conquer
has traveled to this world for more than three and a half years, and in the first three years, Gu Cheng has always asked himself how gentlemanly he is when it comes to women. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The main reason is that his physical age is too young, and he has so much experience in this area in his previous life that he is bored and boring.
Before the age of eighteen, a man's desires are easy to control, and with his busyness, there are too many things waiting for him to do and have a sense of fulfillment, and it is easy to forget about finding a woman.
Now, he has just celebrated his 20th birthday, which is a weak year in ancient times. It is said that the demand for women will also be stronger.
It's a pity that she was pushed back by Pan Jieying half a year ago, and this serious idea of falling in love has been temporarily extinguished a lot.
There was once a very authoritative psychologist who said: Both men and women, because of hormones and dopamine, in the first 18 months of a relationship, that is a real relationship, cooking oil. Over time, this feeling will fade into family affection.
If you can't survive the dull days after fading into family affection, most men and women will break up or find a new love. If you get through it, you will go on like water.
Now, it has only been half a year since Gu Cheng was pushed backwards.
Even if he knew in his heart that there was no result with Pan Jieying, and sooner or later he would have to face up to this problem, he was unwilling to think about it for the time being.
From a scientific point of view, this is not noble, but hormones. Even bulldozers such as Wang Xcong rarely change guns just a few months after a new girlfriend.
Standing in Li Ying's position, she teased Gu Cheng, but in the end to no avail, she recognized the reality and did not entangle.
In her eyes, Gu Cheng was originally just an entertainer and businessman she admired, and he couldn't even talk about an idol.
It wasn't until 02 that she was sent by Acono to the hellish Huaxia market as the regional director, thinking that there was no hope for the performance to hit the street, but Gu Cheng suddenly clarified a way for the world to get Huaxia out of the Internet winter.
Finally, through the fulcrum of Huaxia Unicom, Huaxia Telecom and Netcom were miraculously leveraged to launch a network infrastructure upgrade competition. Let Li Ying, who is running into a bloody outflow and can't sell VDSL/ADSL network equipment, is in a desperate situation.
Since then, whenever Li Ying is quiet in the dead of night, Gu Cheng's bold words when he opened the "press conference-style solo concert" will echo in her mind.
She regarded the experience of buying VIP tickets to watch the concert that night as a fate in the dark, which allowed her to meet a life mentor and mentor.
It's a kind of divine friendship in the dark, that's all.
It's like a person who obviously has nothing to do with his sister's life, but he is driven by the big hand of fate, which affects the trajectory of his sister's life. If at the same time, the man is very handsome, and the artistic atmosphere can also make the girl fall for it, then it is inevitable that the girl will try to flirt.
Li Ying knew that Gu Cheng was very cautious about choosing a girlfriend and had no girlfriend at the moment, so she took a step back very realistically, trying to hint to Gu Cheng that "I can do without you being responsible, everyone can just take what they need", and solve the problem with this attitude.
It's a pity that Gu Cheng's reply revealed a sense of "I know you don't need me to be responsible, but now there are other women who need me to be responsible, so I'm sorry".
Li Ying immediately understood: Gu Cheng now has a woman, but she hasn't made it public, she doesn't know.
In that case, there is no need to spoil other people's feelings. Li Ying's teasing was originally based on not knowing that Gu Cheng had a girlfriend.
A strong woman should live a chic life.
……
That night, everyone danced and drank until late, and also talked a lot about the follow-up development ideas of YY.com. Zuckerberg and Saverin went home separately, and Gu Cheng asked the driver to take Li Ying home, and then he went back to the hotel by himself.
The subsidiary of Automatic YY Mi Guo set up an office in Boston, and Li Ying also bought a new house in Boston. She studied at the university here, and living in Boston naturally would not be unaccustomed.
After a few days of contact, Li Ying's openness to Gu Cheng cannot be said to have no effect at all. Although flirting failed, her talent and skill were fully recognized by Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng is a business-like person, and he does not avoid hatred when he moves externally, and he does not avoid relatives when he moves internally. will not value the other party because a woman flirts with him, but he will not despise the other party because the other party flirts with him.
Originally, because of the role of inertial thinking, Gu Cheng always thought that after YY.com further expanded in the United States and had tens of millions of users, he would gradually give up the position of CEO, only retain the title of chairman of the board of directors, and even only hide behind the scenes as a shareholder of large shares.
It's not because he likes to be an invisible rich man - it's all the bad taste of Xiaobai pretending to be a pig and eating the protagonist of Tiger Literature.
It is because Gu Cheng knows that making social media products in the United States and using a Chinese person as the boss can satisfy the cultural superiority of the people of the United States and reduce user resistance.
If it is a Chinese person who is the boss, it will make the proud Chinese people unhappy.
If you're just a major shareholder of ChinaAMC, it's much better – if you don't understand this, you can refer to Taobao. If the chairman of Taobao's board of directors is not Ma Feng, but Sun Zhengyi, a native of Fuso, look at how many choppers will resist Taobao's business.
Even the reason why he chose to default to Samsung Li Zairong's "show muscles" and come to Harvard to mix up his academic qualifications was not because he really cared about academic qualifications. Instead, I hope that in the future, when the United States people Google his personal information, they can see "YY.com's largest shareholder, education experience: Harvard ......", so as to break the resistance of some rice people.
Before the events of the past few days, Gu Cheng felt that the most suitable candidate to take over the CEO position after YY became bigger in the future was Zuckerberg.
After all, the shadow of the famous tree of people, Xiaozha in parallel time and space has proven his ability, and he is relatively more reliable.
After running in the past few days, seeing Li Ying's various performances after jumping ship, and her long-term layout ability, Gu Cheng had another idea.
Perhaps this can also be used as a candidate for the future CEO of YY.com?
AFTER ALL, ALTHOUGH XIAOZHA IS THE CEO OF FACEBOOK, HE DOES FAR LESS THAN THE CEOS OF OTHER INTERNET GIANTS. A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE HANDLED BY THE CEO IN OTHER COMPANIES ARE DONE BY COO SANDBERG ON FACEBOOK. The reason is that Xiaozha's administrative operation ability is too weak, and he can only grasp the technical direction, and the implementation of the policy is too low.
At the moment, Sandberg is still in Google, and it seems that with YY's current development situation, she will not be poached in the future. In this case, it seems that it is not bad to use Li Ying as CEO. It's a big deal to weaken the authority of some CEOs to dictate technology planning.
Of course, if she really plans to do this, Li Ying needs to make some changes.
As for whether Zuckerberg will jump ship and start his own business because he can't be the CEO, Gu Cheng is not worried at all.
The entry of the social networking industry is very much in need of outlets. If you miss it, it's basically no play. Zuckerberg's success is also due to the success of people. If there is no such a good opportunity, relying on his personal talent alone will become a fart thing.
At worst, Gu Cheng also has a set of long-term option incentive plans to tie people up as much as possible.
……
After staying in Boston for a few days and secretly discussing the techniques of checks and balances with Li Ying, Gu Cheng came up with the YY option incentive plan in his mind.
"This incentive plan, you can sign it after reading it, there is nothing to talk about. ”
This plan does not require Li Ying, Saverin and Xiaozha to pay anything at all, they only need to meet the performance indicators and then get the options. Gu Cheng is purely the party that pays the benefits, so this kind of "unilateral treaty" naturally has nothing to talk about.
The three of them were very simple, signed in duplicate, and then each took one copy, and Gu Cheng put away the rest.
Gu Cheng has added another layer of insurance to the long-term stable operation of YY.
The content of this plan, to a certain extent, draws on the art of Ahri Ma Feng's royal subordinates, and a large number of rights and interests are dividends and options, but they are not real direct transfers.
To explain it in layman's terms, these people can get about 1% of YY.com's share options and the same amount of subscription rights every year they work on YY.com for one year and complete the performance indicators agreed in the agreement, until they have served as senior executives for 5 years. If you change jobs halfway, the part of the options given for free will be invalidated, and you can only keep the equity you paid to subscribe.
Counting all kinds of incentives, Gu Cheng's highest price is to give up 30% of YY.com's shares to the management and key veteran employees, and he only retains 70% as the capital party. No matter how little you give, the people below are also prone to laziness.
Because the details in this plan were formulated by Li Ying for Gu Cheng, the difficulty of the CTO's assessment is naturally more humane and reasonable.
For example, Zuckerberg developed "deep learning-based facial recognition technology", and this technology was eventually commercialized and achieved great success. If you follow the usual assessment standards in Silicon Valley circles, Zuckerberg must be the first to take a lot of options. Now it needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis:
What are the technical factors, how many business factors, and how many operational factors account for the commercialization success of a new technology?
In this way, there will be no unreasonable situation that "the success of an online game like Legend is obviously the credit of operation and marketing, but most of the fruits are counted on the technical head".
The specific details of the algorithm cannot be repeated, and Gu Cheng's overall impression of this is that it may be difficult for Zuckerberg to take advantage of Li Ying, and he may no longer be able to gather the strength to resist the company.
……
After dealing with the adjustment of YY.com's future management structure, Gu Cheng was ready to drive back to New York to concentrate on preparing for the listing of Legendary Entertainment.
Li Ying, as his right-hand man, happened to be not very busy in the next few days, so he followed. In the future, Gu Cheng will have more businesses that need her to act as an agent in the United States, so it is better to run in as soon as possible.
On the bus to New York, Gu Cheng kept looking out the window and didn't talk to the beautiful royal sister for more than an hour.
It wasn't until he drove into the territory of New York State that Gu Cheng suddenly said without warning: "You can apply for naturalization when you have time." Now that you are with me, it is estimated that you will not return to China to start a business by yourself in the future, so you simply become a Mi countryman, how good. ”
"Why?" Li Ying's body shook slightly.
In another time and space, her two years at Econo were just to accumulate life experience, and she was not willing to work only in marketing for the rest of her life. So in 04, she returned to China after leaving Acono, and found Starcom, a start-up giant in the domestic communications field at that time, to work for Boss Wu. Because of this, Li Ying has never tried to become a Mi nationality.
Otherwise, with her education experience and work experience in MIT master's degree, she is just a Mi nationality, and she is not handy?
Gu Cheng said bluntly: "If you want to represent YY.com, then it's best to change your nationality." ”
Li Ying's eyes darkened, and she immediately returned to normal, and it was obvious that GET had gotten to Gu Cheng's plan.
She also drew inferences and forced a smile: "Then should I still find a white boyfriend, even marry WASP, and then post on social networks how harmonious and nourishing I live with that white man?"
Although it was a forced smile, Li Ying's eyes revealed a stubbornness, and there was a disdainful provocation.
"You ......" Gu Cheng was a little overwhelmed, and said in his heart that it was really tiring to talk to a woman who was too smart.
If you analyze it absolutely calmly from a cold-blooded point of view, Li Ying seems to be doing this in the best interests of business......
HASN'T ZUCKERBERG, WHO IS PARALLEL TO TIME AND SPACE, BEEN DESPERATELY TRYING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HIS CHINESE WIFE PRISCILLA CHEN ON FACEBOOK AND INS IN ORDER TO ENTER THE CHINESE MARKET? AS SOON AS HIS DAUGHTER WAS BORN, HE WAS AFRAID THAT THE WORLD WOULD NOT KNOW THAT THIS DAUGHTER WAS BORN BY A CHINESE WOMAN, SO HE HURRIEDLY NAMED HIS DAUGHTER THE CHINESE NAME "CHEN XX".
Of course, the onlookers can say that Zuckerberg is indeed affectionate to his wife, but they cannot deny the business strategy behind this.
ZACK-LED FACEBOOK WANTS TO ENTER CHINA, AND YY.COM LED BY LI YING WANTS TO ENTER RICE, AND THE SITUATION IS THE SAME.
It's all a routine.
The problem is that the girl in front of me teased herself a few days ago. Even if Gu Cheng refused because he didn't want to hurt each other, he couldn't do such a heartbreaking thing as sending a girl!
If you give away the girl, the proper bad luck will hit the street!
"If your sister really likes white men, then go and find it, why do you say it! If your brother instigates you, it seems that your brother is sacrificing your lifelong happiness for his own business!" Gu Cheng thought so in his mind, and he was speechless for a while.
Li Ying enjoyed this feeling of teasing Gu Cheng very much, she continued to lean up, and said tightly: "Why don't you speak?" Although I am a virgin, although I don't need you to be responsible and you don't want to be your lover for nothing, I am still willing to sacrifice for you. As long as you say: Go find a white boyfriend to show affection, and I can find it right away. Anyway, I don't know what love is, I am willing to use it as a bargaining chip in my career, and you don't have to feel unhappy. ”
is really a powerful woman, this kind of retreat-oriented speaking technique actually forced the unsociable Gu Cheng into a corner of moral kidnapping.
Obviously, she knew that with Gu Cheng's arrogance, she couldn't say the kind of shameless words that were like "harmony" to lose power and humiliate the country.
"I never wanted you to find a white man. Of course, if you really meet a white man and really love him......" Gu Cheng sighed heavily, and his tone was still a little vain and aggrieved.
"Very good, since you are so merciful and cherished, I naturally want to repay you. For your sake, I'm going to cultivate true love for some white man......"
"That's not what I meant!" Gu Cheng was completely defeated, and anxiously pulled Li Ying's shoulder, shook it tightly twice, stared into her eyes and said, "You obviously know that I will not sacrifice the women under me!" Okay, I don't allow you to find a white man--this is clear enough." ”
"Okay, then I'm not looking for white people. Li Ying's eyes flashed with a hint of triumphant playfulness, pretending to take advantage of the resentment, "You are really domineering, you don't want people to recommend pillows, and you don't let people want to find a boyfriend, I really don't know what kind of trouble you have to make to be satisfied." ”
Gu Cheng was completely speechless and decided not to bother with her anymore.
He felt that he should make up for the lesson of how to deal with a woman who was playing tricks.
