Chapter 049 ["Cloud Song" Plan]
Luo Sheng couldn't help but be stunned for a while, his prediction was wrong, it seems that Xiaozha was mostly "deleted" by this world.
It turned out that Chris created MySpace, a social networking site, and think about it, the original world Xiaozha officially founded Facebook only next year.
After all, the world has changed, but no matter what, Luo Sheng has full confidence, even if it is Facebook, MySpace, even if it comes out, he is not afraid, the advantages of Bluestar Technology have begun to take shape, coupled with their own understanding of the future trend of the era This advantage, there is full information to defeat it.
Putting away his thoughts, Luo Sheng looked at George Charles and said: "George, from now on, you will be the president of the Americas region of Bluestar Technology Company, you will return to North America tomorrow, and I will give you 20 million US dollars of funds to establish a branch in the Americas, and the address will be set in Menlo Park, Bay Area, California, and there will be no branch in the European region for the time being, so you will temporarily take care of the business in the European region." β
Luo Sheng stopped thinking about it and continued: "Before the end of this year, BlueSpace must win 10 million users in North America, and 15 million users in the world except for the Greater China market. β
After speaking, Luo Sheng stared at him motionlessly.
βYesοΌBOSSοΌβ
George Charles, who is in his thirties, doesn't mind that he is ordered by a boss who is more than ten years younger than him, he has not been in Bluestar Technology for a long time, and he has not been in contact with Luo Sheng for a long time, but in several contacts, including during the interview and assessment, he feels that this Huaguo boss is unusual, and even gives him the feeling that he is not much better than an experienced entrepreneur.
Luo Sheng nodded with satisfaction, no one objected to his decision, and he also showed a resolute side.
I saw the whole person leaning back in a chair, glancing at the professional executive who was invited from Silicon Valley by the headhunting company, and said: "To achieve the goal, a 20% salary increase plus option allotment, if the goal is not reached, I can only ask Gao Ming." β
Originally, it was a professional manager who was invited at a high price, and he came for money, if the development is not good, for these professional managers, at most he will pat his ass and leave, for George Charles, Luo Sheng will not know him with affection and reason like a domestic person.
It's useless, foreigners don't eat this set much, simply say take money to do things, do a good job and share more surplus value, and if you can't do it, you can directly fire the squid.
It's pretty straightforward, which is actually pretty good.
Erin, the financial housekeeper who attended the meeting, also silently made a memo, the 600 million funds just raised, Luo Sheng opened such a mouth, Xiao Ai thought about the real-time exchange rate in her heart, the ratio of 8.277, the 20 million US dollars is equivalent to a budget of about 164 million RMB.
George Charles was quick to say: "BOSS, I would like to be able to sign an agreement in the form of a commercial bet. β
Xu Yong, Feng Yi and others present wanted to complain when they heard this, this foreigner's thing has not been done yet, and it is too ...... to bargain on the spot For the sake of colleagues, everyone didn't say anything, and looked at Luo Sheng, who was sitting in the chief.
"No problem!!" Luo Sheng looked at George with a smile with one hand, and agreed to him very happily, and immediately let Qin Weimu deal with it, and made an agreement on the spot.
Half an hour later, George confirmed that there was no problem and signed the agreement, and his spirits were immediately lifted.
Luo Sheng commissioned a headhunter to recruit a Silicon Valley executive for the purpose of business expansion in overseas markets, mainly in North America.
After signing the agreement, George Charles left the table early and prepared to fly back to North America, and before leaving the conference room, Luo Sheng also explained to him that the international version of the BlueSpace website has now expanded to the larger universities and colleges in North America, such as Berkeley, Harvard University, Purdue University and other prestigious universities.
The next international version of BlueSpace's overseas expansion strategy is to target most of the smaller universities and colleges in North America, in addition to Europe, to expand to 21 universities in the United Kingdom, ITESM in Mexico, the University of Puerto Rico, and the University of the Virgin Islands, including next year's goal to launch BlueSpace in Australia and New Zealand.
Luo Sheng hopes that by next year, a total of more than 2,000 college and high school students overseas will be able to use BlueSpace, a social product, and the number of users will exceed 50 million.
As soon as George Charles left, Luo Sheng looked at Feng Yi and the others attending the meeting and said with a smile: "When dealing with Westerners, we have to follow the thinking of Westerners, our goal is to get things done, as for the method, the problem is secondary, and the goal can be achieved." β
Everyone couldn't help but smile, they definitely didn't dare to make such a request to Luo Sheng, and they wouldn't do it, after all, one side of the water and soil supports the other side, and the difference in cultural customs between the East and the West is still quite huge.
But the biggest advantage of Easterners over Westerners is that Easterners can also play well in the West, because they can quickly accept Westerners' plays, but many Westerners will encounter situations in the East, because it is difficult for them to accept the Easterners' thinking, and even simply refuse arrogantly.
As a result, many European and American companies were full of confidence before entering the Greater China market, and finally failed miserably.
The meeting moved on to the next topic.
"After the A round of financing, the company will inevitably usher in greater development, so what will follow is the shortage of human resources, how many employees does the company have now?" After Luo Sheng finished speaking, he looked at the company's human resources director.
Zhang Bowen said: "At present, the company has 288 regular employees, and the HR department is still expanding. β
Luo Sheng nodded, the meeting has lasted more than 40 minutes since it was held, and it has basically confirmed the strategic policy and specific expansion and operation ideas of Bluestar Technology in the last quarter of this year.
Luo Sheng said: "The domestic and foreign markets of the Blue Space website are advancing as originally planned, and at the same time, I have decided to set up a new project to enter the domestic search engine market. β
Everyone is curious, do search engines?
Luo Sheng continued: "There is no need to think about it on a global scale, Google search has occupied a dominant position in the global market, but although the whiteness of the domestic search engine market accounts for the first place in the market share, the pattern is undecided, as well as Yahoo search, Google search, etc., in the end, who can stand out from the encirclement, in fact, everyone has a chance." β
Everyone has no objections, Xu Yong, Feng Yi and others who started a business with him blindly worship Luo Sheng, and the professional executives hired in will not object, and there is no invalidity if there is any objection, Luo Sheng is a person who says nothing in the company.
In the long run, this is not a good thing for the company's development, but this long-term is also far away, and Luo Sheng is now 19 years old.
In terms of important decision-making, Luo Sheng is arbitrary, but other places are still very willing to discuss together, such as irrelevant naming issues, and finally everyone unanimously decided that the name of the search engine will be called - Yunge.
The search engine project was confirmed and handed over to Feng Yi to be in charge, and Luo Sheng occasionally participated in the development sequence, and he was undoubtedly the most skilled number one developer in the entire company, followed by Xu Yong.
However, Xu Yong is the chief technology officer, so the development of the search engine project is best handed over to Feng Yi, Luo Sheng is optimistic about him, but one yard is one yard, Feng Yi is indeed not capable of leading an important project alone now, so he has to find a headhunting company to poach people, and this person Luo Sheng has already looked for it.
Obviously, Luo Sheng has the intention to treat Feng Yi as the company's core personnel for key training, and as the company's CEO, he needs more experience at the helm of the big ship of Bluestar Technology.
After all, no matter how good he is, he is also a person, if he can bring out a group of capable people who can take charge of themselves in the future, this is the result that Luo Sheng wants most, because this is related to the company's future expansion.
The Internet is not Luo Sheng's main energy, and Bluestar Technology will eventually be listed, not surprisingly, it will go public in the United States.
And he has been brewing another technology company focusing on technology research and development and high-end manufacturing for several months, which is also extremely important to the future of Bluestar Technology, and he has not revealed this idea to anyone.
If Bluestar Technology is the branches and leaves of a big tree, then the company brewing in Luo Sheng's heart is the trunk and root of this big tree.
