"Robin, you're looking for me?"

Liu Feitong looked at his nose and nose, and tiptoed open the door of Boss Li's office.

BOSS LI TOOK HIS EYES OFF THE MACBOOK, GLANCED AT LIU FEITONG, AND HIS MIND CAME BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND THEN CHANGED TO A SLIGHTLY SAD EXPRESSION, AND LIGHTLY SPIT OUT A WORD: "SIT." ”

Liu Feitong sat down slightly cramped.

Boss Li turned around and poured a glass of water, turned his back to Liu Feitong and asked, "Listen to the people in HR, you want to leave your job?" ”

Liu Feitong didn't dare to look at the other party: "Yes, I thought it was a trivial matter, so I didn't report it to you personally." ”

Boss Li stuffed the water cup into Liu Feitong's hand, and Wen Yan asked, "How can it be a trivial matter?" Although you are not an executive of the company, you are an old man who has worked with the company for four years after all. It will not be a trivial matter for any core middle level to leave, and I think they should all come and talk to me first. ”

Liu Feitong's face was so red that she was very cramped, and the lines she had prepared were also a little confusing: "Robin, I'm sorry, I also think it's my fault, but I just want to change the environment." ”

Boss Li sat back in his seat, crossed his legs, and waved his hand: "It's freedom to come and go, you have nothing to be sorry for me." Over the years at Baidu, your contribution is also obvious to all. I heard that you want to go to Ahri, I just want to know why: is the environment there really more suitable for you than I am? ”

When Boss Li said this, he had an aura of self-esteem and self-confidence.

I almost didn't say: You graduated from Stanford and went to a company opened by a scumbag who graduated from Qiantang Normal University, can you really mix better than a company opened by a real student like Peking University + New York University? Do they appreciate your talents?

Boss Li is a reserved and reserved person, of course he won't say such vulgar words. But those who are familiar with him can feel this breath.

Sometimes, some top students just like to put on an aura when they speak, and they don't need to deliberately pose, they will naturally come out. For example, when Hillary Clinton was running for president, she would say, "Actually, I am the same as the American people." ”

When she says the words "I am the same as the American people", the subtext is actually to say, "I am a J.D. from Yale University and a partner at Ross Law Firm, and I am different from the American people."

This realm. It's not called "poetry and books in the belly", it can only be called "I don't pretend to be ****". Boss Lee and Hillary, this point is the same.

Liu Feitong eased his love for a long time and drank three or four sips of water. The words were organized.

"I just want to do the 'deep learning algorithm-based graph search' project, and I want to get back to the feeling I had when I first did PPC search four years ago - in such an epoch-making project, being a planning supervisor and operations supervisor is rare, maybe not a few opportunities in my life."

Boss Li put down his crossed legs.

Of course. With Boss Li's appearance, he has a style of whether he bends his legs or not, and no one will think that he is uncivilized. In this regard, he and Ma Feng are not equal.

"Xiao Liu, I hope you understand. It's not that the company doesn't want to do graphical search - it's just that this year the company is going public! Our first quarter financial report, net profit must be 3 million! We're not going to spread it out again. In a short period of time, a project that only spends money and does not generate income must be put away! ”

Baidu's market capitalization is now estimated at the level of tens of billions.

But the vast majority of Internet companies have something in common. It is a high market capitalization, but the turnover is very low, and the net profit is even lower.

Taking Baidu as an example, in 2003, Baidu's traffic had exploded to the sky, and the turnover was 200 million, but the net profit was completely absent, and the net loss was about 9 million. In fiscal year 2004, turnover continued to double and increase in order to go public next year. Baidu has been thrifty in terms of spending and expansion speed, and it has barely achieved a profit in the fourth quarter of the year, and the profit exceeds 14 million.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2005, Boss Li set a target of net profit of 3 million, a year-on-year increase of 300% over the same period last year - it can also be seen from this figure that Baidu only had a net profit of 1 million in the first quarter of 04. The net profit of 14 million for the whole year of 04 is compared with 1 million in the first quarter. It can also be seen that Baidu's growth rate is very fast, and its net profit has doubled in almost every quarter of its financial report before listing.

Internet companies are the norm to lose money and make money and "earn the future". It is a pity that as long as you want to enter the listed capital market, you have to succumb to the capital market's pursuit of profit margins.

In contrast, the Nasdaq has very lenient requirements for profit margins. This is also one of the reasons why so many domestic Internet giants have also gone to NASDAQ to list in later generations. According to the assessment of profit margins in the domestic A-share market, none of the Internet giants are eligible to be listed. (The paddling pool of small fish and shrimp on the gem is not counted)

High net profit means low expenditure, which means that some projects that spend money cannot be launched. If you look at it on a two-to-three-year cycle, this contraction is not conducive to the company's expansion. But if you look at the long-term planning of five years and ten years, these sacrifices are necessary in order to make money from the market.

Google also shrank back for a long time before going public, a reason. It's just that when Gu Mojie came to the door to engage in cloud security, it was just in time for the successful listing of Google, and the buying, buying, buying, and buying stalls that had been suppressed for so long had just exploded again, so Gu Mojie was happy to hitchhike.

Boss Li has no way to give any promises, so he can only hope to use this reason to keep people.

"Robin, I understand you, but you know, the window to entry for graphical search is very short, and Google won't wait for us. Google has gone public, and it is in an explosive period, and we have stopped pursuing net profits, and we have not gotten rid of it.

I JUST WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS KIND OF PROJECT, AND I ALSO WANT THE Chinese TO MAKE THEIR OWN DEEP ALGORITHMIC GRAPH SEARCH, AND PREFERABLY IN THE FIELD OF WOMEN'S E-COMMERCE ONLINE SHOPPING, WHICH EVEN GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK DON'T THINK OF DOING - PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE APPEAL TO ME. ”

Liu Qitong made it very clear that she wanted to participate in such a project, and hoped that the Chinese would be able to host such a project. As for this Chinese, whether it is Boss Li or Ma Feng, that is secondary.

"Since you said so, I am not reluctant, I hope you can show your strengths in the new environment. I've known you since I was in Silicon Valley, and you're an old friend. I hope to be friends in the future. ”

"Thank you." Liu Feitong was a little moved, shed a few tears, turned her face to wipe it, and turned around and left Boss Li's office.

When he walked to the door, Liu Feitong paused and looked back and added: "Robin, you are a good person." ”

……

Liu Feitong left Baidu, feeling a little empty in his heart.

She went abroad at the age of 17, returned to China at the age of 22, and has been staying in Baidu for more than four years. It can be said that her impression of other cities and other environments in China is still stuck before the age of seventeen, and there is a break of nearly ten years.

returned to Daoxiangyuan's residence, Liu Feitong was still thinking in his heart: Why don't you sell the house here? Otherwise, where will the money come from to buy a house in Qiantang City in the future?

After thinking about it again and again, the woman's nostalgia blocked this idea. After Zhou Lixin persuaded her that day, he repeatedly talked to her on the phone many times, and then after finalizing it, he also asked Ahri's HR to officially give an offer, and the treatment was very generous, as long as she was willing to go to Qiantang, she also had an income ranging from four or five hundred thousand yuan a year, and saving money for a year was enough to make a down payment in Qiantang.

What's more, she has worked in Baidu for four years, and Boss Li has treated her well, and now she has to come up with 200,000 deposits herself, which can still be done. The loan for the house in Daoxiangyuan has also been paid off.

The houses in the fourth ring road of the capital are already non-renewable resources, and there will not be many new projects in the future. Daoxiangyuan is located in the Suzhou block, but the north is Peking University, the south is the National People's Congress, the east is Tsinghua and Zhongguancun, such a geographical location, in the year when housing prices have begun to rise, at the beginning of 05 years has been 20,000 square meters, sold can not get back.

Liu Feitong simply cleaned up, prepared to go out for a long time, and then called Zhou Lixin. On the other end, Zhou Lixin's slightly surprised voice soon came.

"Sister Liu, has everything been dealt with over there in Baidu? Great, if it's convenient for you, you can come to Qiantang whenever you want. What the? Worried about not being able to find a house for a while? Absolutely no worries! I really can't find it, I just bought a few sets, the decoration is installed, but absolutely no one has lived, it is near the company, and it is no problem to borrow you to live for a while. ”

Liu Feitong politely refused: "This is not good, you don't have to worry about this." I packed up for two more days, and flew to Qiantang for the weekend. ”

"Okay, Applejack and I will treat you to dinner when the time comes."

Liu Feitong chatted a few more words and hung up the phone.

Since she was in college, she has admired Boss Li, which has never made her feel like other young women in love.

In essence, the mentality of women like Liu Feitong is the same as that of Fei Liluo, they both worship powerful men, and this kind of strength is not to say that they are rich, but to be able to change the world.

In layman's terms, they can worship Silicon Valley heroes, but they don't worship financial predators or real estate tycoons. Because the latter two don't have the ability to change the world, they just have a few stinky money.

It's just that Feliro was lucky to worship a powerful man who was willing to have sex with her - of course, it can also be said to be bad luck, because it was doomed that Feliro would not be able to wear a wedding dress in her life.

Liu Feitong did not have this kind of opportunity.

In the past few days, she has communicated with Zhou Lixin on the phone, so that she can clearly notice that kind of abnormality. Since Liu Feitong's wisdom and sword thought, her emotional IQ has suddenly recovered, and her perception is also extremely keen and insightful.

She didn't mean anything to Zhou Lixin yet, but she knew that the other party was interesting to her.

"That guy...... I'm only 24, three years younger than me. How can there be a man who likes such a strange thing, is it because of the lack of love. Forget it, don't think about it. It's best if he can distinguish between the important and the important, work is work, and life is life. (To be continued.) )
