Chapter 022 [Expansion]

A girl took the initiative to ask if she was free, and it was in such a situation.

is still an intimate name of Brother Luo, even if it is a straight man of steel, he should be able to understand what this girl's heart is thinking.

No, the straight man of steel may not really be able to think of it.

But Luo Sheng had long known that this girl had affection for him, and he took the initiative to transmit this signal from time to time, and some hints or something came a few times from time to time.

Erin is a gentle and cheerful girl, eighteen years old, especially those blue eyes, chased by such a beautiful schoolgirl, I'm afraid few boys will be able to bear it, as the saying goes, women chase men across the veil.

Luo Sheng understands the girl's thoughts and affection very well, but he is not putting his mind on a new college student love now.

He only wants to focus on his career now, because the competition in the Internet industry is extremely cruel, and the first-mover advantage is almost impossible to shake once it becomes a trend.

And many startups can survive for a year and then go bankrupt can be called successful, not to mention that the blue space website is now facing a lot of competition, including the current industry giant QQ, there is also a [51 personal space] that he is quite concerned about.

Luo Sheng knows that his biggest advantage is the various creative elements in his mind and foresight, but this does not make him absolutely sure that he will succeed, there are still too many variables.

I don't have any cheats like the golden finger in the novel, the grandfather system, and I haven't obtained any knowledge inheritance of alien civilizations. When Luo Sheng was just in middle school, he was obsessed with similar black technology novels for a while, such as "Super Technology Giant", "Almighty Technology Giant", "Black Technology Predator" and so on.

It's really when I think about it now, but judging from the story of the novel, these novels are really good.

At this time, after hearing Luo Sheng's answer, Erin's pretty smile gradually disappeared, her little hand couldn't help clenching for a while, then let go, tilted her head slightly, puffed out her face angrily, and secretly annoyed: "The guy who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, is his EQ intermittent and negative?" ”

When the bus arrived, Luo Sheng immediately got on the bus, and Sister Erin followed behind him, muttering in her heart, is this guy intentional or elm head?

After the episode, the two of them came to the human resources market, this time Luo Sheng decided to recruit about 20 people, mainly programmers and developers, but also needed some talents in economic management, for recruitment, what people are needed, are very clear.

Luo Sheng needs four types of talents, the first is technology developers, the second is management talents, the third is legal and auditing talents, and the fourth is marketing talents.

Bluestar Technology started from the Internet, and the current environment of the Internet industry is sluggish, although Luo Sheng wrote on the recruitment board that as long as fresh graduates, there are still some adults to ask.

But the current Blue Star Studio is not suitable for adults to work, and Luo Sheng doesn't want to be recruited and leave quickly.

After most of the day, at about 17 o'clock in the afternoon, the recruitment work was finally over, and this time 21 new employees were recruited, all of whom were fresh graduates.

Luo Sheng's salary for them is a basic salary of 2,200 yuan, plus some subsidies for overtime and the like, they can get about 3,000~3,800 yuan a month.

In fact, the IT industry is a popular industry, especially in this era, it is rare to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, and the annual salary of engineers in North America has even reached a high salary of 60,000 or 70,000 US dollars.

However, the general environment of the industry is not good, many companies have closed down or laid off employees, and they are all fresh graduates.

At present, Bluestar Technology's funds are not abundant, which is one of the reasons why Luo Sheng chose fresh graduates.

By the next day, the room next door to the Blue Star Studio had been disposed of, and the 21 newly recruited full-time employees had come to the Blue Star Studio early this morning.

The company now has a team of 28 people plus Luo Sheng.

"Let's stop for a while, everyone gets to know each other, and we will be partners in the struggle together in the future." Luo Sheng beckoned Xu Yong and them, and at this moment, 28 people gathered in the living room, which was already quite crowded.

Luo Sheng looked at the new members and smiled: "It may not be the same as you imagined, that's right, this is the office of the Blue Space website, and the dormitory culture is still popular in our team, so we only recruit fresh graduates, so we are colleagues, subordinates, roommates, and partners in starting a business together......"

Xu Yong suddenly said: "Okay, boss, no matter how many of these declarations say, it can't compare to a dinner, so I propose that we go to dinner today." ”

Seeing that the old team members were coaxing, Luo Sheng said helplessly: "It's hard to disobey the people's will, so let's go." ”

"Shredded coconut!"

……

Teng Xun, Xu Chenghua's office.

"Mr. Xu, this is a fax document from the Bluestar Technology Studio."

"What documents?" Xu Chenghua said.

"It's a list of last month's financial expenditures." The secretary said.

"A list of financial expenditures?" Xu Chenghua was stunned, this is the first time he has seen a start-up company take the initiative to send documents on the financial expenditure status to investors.

Normally, after a venture capital raises funds for a start-up company, a financial accountant will be stationed at the investee company to understand the financial expenses of the investee company.

And this time, Xu Chenghua invested in Bluestar Technology, not only as a financial investor, but also did not send financial personnel over, because of trust and appreciation.

Other start-up companies will never report to you if you don't ask for accounts and check accounts, this Bluestar Technology Studio, you don't ask for accounts, don't check accounts, and take the initiative to report accounts, this team is full of unique sides, which undoubtedly makes Xu Chenghua, who is already appreciative, look at it even more differently.

……

On the other hand, Luo Sheng and the company's team members had a long time of fun, and for the new members, it was undoubtedly the first time to enhance a lot of feelings.

In the early stage of entrepreneurship, it is necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm of team members, especially the team is college students and recent graduates, a party can sometimes get twice the result with half the effort, and it doesn't cost much to eat a meal, as long as you don't go to high-end places.

After the team expanded to 28 people, it was finally a lot easier to maintain the Blue Space website, and it was easier to do things with more people, but the company's expenses also rose on a large scale, just to pay salaries, and then to pay 80,000 or 90,000 yuan per month, and to add some new office equipment, and the purchase of computer hardware also had to start with 100,000 yuan.

A series of expenses are roughly calculated, so far half of the angel round financing has been spent, and now there is only 600,000 left on the company's books, Luo Sheng estimated, the company will try to open up sources and reduce expenditure as much as possible in the next days, and the expenditure of 300,000 yuan a month is barely enough, but it can only last for two months.

After the introduction of the image function on the Blue Space website, the user growth period ushered in a peak period, which brought about an increase in the operating cost of the website.

Not only the increase in human resource costs, but also equipment, new servers, and so on.

The current servers are all rented, as for buying, Luo Sheng didn't think about it at all, even if it is more than 10,000 yuan according to a set of servers, he can't afford it at all, because it is not a problem of one or two groups.

It is simply impossible to afford it with the current financial resources.

As time went on, the 21 new full-time employees officially entered the work phase, and when the new employees first came to the studio, they didn't know how to unlock the office door, but the door would open automatically at 9 a.m. every morning.

Except for Luo Sheng, no one will arrive at the office before noon, everyone is a night owl, and the 21 new team members soon become night owls, and the big guys basically come to work at 11 or 12 o'clock, although the working time is set at 9 o'clock.

Sometimes, some employees come to work in their pajamas, but that doesn't matter, that's what a company should be like when it's in its infancy.

Luo Sheng now adopts a loose management model for Blue Star Studio, which is almost no different from a university dormitory, where everyone is doing the same thing at the same time, giving them the feeling that they are not at work, as if they have been playing happily.

In this way, time flew by for another month.

During this time, the Blue Space website has launched the photo function, and the entire website has almost ushered in a new look, users are happy to share their photos, and users have opened the B community more frequently and stayed longer, which shows the user's activity and stickiness.
