Chapter 012 [Story King Boss Luo]
Suddenly there was a burst of boos in the laughter, but everyone didn't object, just blindly coaxed.
Luo Sheng turned his head to Erin and asked, "What do you think of such an arrangement?" ”
Erin's eyes lit up: "Become your assistant?" No problem at all! ”
Luo Sheng nodded and smiled: "Actually, it won't be very busy, more time can play the role of customer service, you and Xiao Li are the only two cute girls in our team at present." ”
In this way, the team of Bluestar Technology completed the first expansion, and the five new members completed their main arrangements.
For Luo Sheng, Erin's joining can be described as timely rain.
As for the blue space website, Luo Sheng also has a very clear logical plan, expansion is the first priority, everything can be stopped, the pace of expansion can only be fast and not slow, and the second is the problem of financing.
Now relying on self-payment to continue, there are several new members who come to help for reasons of interest, but this is not a long-term solution after all, Bluestar Technology really wants to make a name for itself, and the introduction of venture capital is imminent.
At this time, when Luo Sheng was celebrating the new start-up team members, a car stopped under the building where they were, and two men in formal clothes walked out of it, led by the middle-aged man who was Xu Chenghua, one of the senior management and co-founders of Tengxun.
……
In the living room of the room, Luo Sheng and the others really chatted happily, and everything was very casual.
Everyone sat around, and some snacks, drinks, and the like were scattered on the table in the middle.
Erin can be said to be very active, and she is very much looking forward to this new way of life.
"It's crazy, but I think it's super cool, and it's more like a college dorm or an indoor sorority than a company."
While everyone was chatting, they suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door, and they all followed the voice, Xu Yong said curiously: "Someone is here, could it be that someone is here to join us again?" ”
"It's possible, but we're not short of people for the time being." Luo Sheng, who was sitting by the door, immediately got up and went to open the door, and when he opened the door, it was not the expected classmates, but two men in formal suits.
Luo Sheng looked at the two strangers suspiciously: "Uh, you are...?" ”
He knew Brother Xiaoma, but he didn't know Xu Chenghua.
Xu Chenghua, the leader, said with a smile: "Is this the office of Bluestar Technology?" ”
When he heard this, an idea immediately popped up in Luo Sheng's mind, and guessed that the two strangers were very likely to be VC investors, and it is not difficult to speculate that the blue space social networking site is now on fire, which must have attracted the attention of the industry and the capital circle.
Luo Sheng nodded and said, "I am the founder of Bluestar Technology, Luo Sheng." ”
Xu Chenghua showed a rather surprised expression when he heard it, sure enough, he was a college student, and he didn't look like he was over 20 years old, it was this young man who developed the blue space website that is now very popular?
After making sure that he had not found the wrong address, Xu Chenghua immediately took out a business card and handed it to him and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Luo Sheng, I am Xu Chenghua, from Tengxun Company......"
Luo Sheng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard his simple self-introduction and took his business card and looked at it, but he didn't expect that the first person who came to the door was Brother Xiaoma's person.
He already sees QQ as a potential competitor.
"Mr. Luo, the development momentum of the blue space website you developed can be said to have attracted the attention of the industry, and our company is very interested in it, especially when I learned that it was created by college students, and I am even more interested in your team." Xu Chenghua smiled and said, "Can you let us visit your office?" ”
"Of course, no problem, both of you." Luo Sheng smiled happily.
"Thank you!" Xu Chenghua nodded politely and entered the room, and asked at the same time, "Have any other investors visited us before?" ”
When Luo Sheng heard this, he immediately judged that QQ seemed to be very serious, and immediately said calmly: "No." ”
Xu Chenghua couldn't help but feel a little refreshed when he heard this, but when he entered the room, he and his accompanying assistants couldn't help but be slightly stunned for a moment.
The sight in front of me was quite messy, with blankets scattered in the corners, video game consoles on the floor, and even Lego, which looked like a mess.
Dirty! Disorderly! Difference!
The living room is the office and the lounge, with a few monitors, a few whiteboards hanging on the wall, and several young men and women sitting around the old sofa, all of them are college students at a glance, they have stopped communicating, and they all looked at Xu Chenghua as a stranger curiously.
When I first looked at this team, Xu Chenghua's first feeling was very, very loose, as if he was running a start-up company with a few freshman dormitory alumni, which was almost like this.
Xu Chenghua suddenly felt that Blue Space was like a runaway project, but it had amazing business potential.
But he soon noticed a graffiti-like text written on a whiteboard on the wall: Expansion, Crazy Expansion!
Erin and they saw that the guests were coming, and immediately packed up their things in a hurry, Xu Chenghua was really curious, and he would never have imagined that the blue space would be developed in such an environment if he didn't come over to take a look in person.
"Please be seated, let the two of you laugh, but this is the current situation of our Bluestar Technology, the situation where startups should be without venture capital." Luo Sheng said with a smile, Xu Chenghua sat down next to him, and Erin immediately went to pour a glass of water.
The rest of the team was largely silent, but everyone was there, but it was also from this moment that Luo Sheng's role as the founder and leader of the entire team was first revealed.
They are all students and are not very good at dealing with more adults, especially with such potential investors, and even a little timid.
It was also from this moment that Luo Sheng's status began to manifest itself and established prestige in the minds of the initial team members.
"I wonder if you can share the process of creating Blue Space? Personally, I'd love to hear the entrepreneurial story of your young team. Xu Chenghua said with a smile, he likes to chat with people very much, and only by chatting can he get more valuable information.
Xu Chenghua gave everyone the feeling that he was always an elite person in the industry with good literacy, and he did not immediately reveal the purpose of wanting to acquire Bluestar Technology, but simply looked at this office, and had roughly judged that their individual startups were facing the same problem - lack of money.
The team members all looked at Luo Sheng, who was not timid at all, and smiled methodically: "Of course no problem, I think most companies should not be like us, in fact, Mr. Xu, you also see it, we are like a group of young and ignorant children living together, doing everything they want to do, never go to bed on time, never get up on time, recruitment is also very casual, just invite people to sit together and chat for a while." ”
"Occasionally we relax and do something else, but most of the time we sit at the table and are busy with the computer, always keeping an eye on the growth of the community, just to make the product better, or to take a break and relax so that we can have enough energy to continue working and make the product better, that's it, we usually don't leave the studio......"
"We'll sit together and talk, and all the members can participate, and the conversation doesn't need to come to a definite conclusion, it's just an exchange of ideas, and everyone can participate."
While Luo Sheng spoke freely, he recalled how he and Xu Yong, the partner, had spent the past month, and continued to say calmly after organizing the language:
"In the meantime, everybody was drinking, maybe all night, and it was about 21:00, and we started to make things clear: What are we going to do tonight? Who's ready to go to work? Who isn't ready? It's almost 23:00 and we'll know what we're going to do tonight, haha. ”
"Actually, there wasn't much impressive going on during this period, and before we knew it, we were starting to do something we wanted to do with anticipation, and around midnight, we would go live directly. Without any testing, we just went live. ”
"In fact, most websites have some very reliable testbeds so that they can test code changes, but our team obviously doesn't have that condition, and that's not our team's style, our style is 'iterative development'."
"With the push of a button, we can apply the code directly to the website, and we really believe in 'moving fast and breaking the mold'. So, you shouldn't wait a week to try it, you shouldn't wait a day to try it, and if the code is correct, you should just adopt it, which is obviously going to be a nightmare. ”
Luo Sheng's words were very fluent and clear, but the speed of his speech was also very fast, because his thinking was very fast. And Xu Chenghua listened quietly with a smiling face, and with the other party's description, he looked more and more sideways at this young man.
Xu Chenghua is also a person who likes to chat very much, and the two began to chat non-stop in the future.
