Chapter 061: Spend It?

After being forced to interview dozens of candidates in person, Wen Ming finally understood why he couldn't find a good job in his previous life.

Apple is located on the outskirts of Boston, close to Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Boston University, three of the world's leading institutions of higher learning. Moreover, today's Apple is also a small name in the United States.

It stands to reason that we should not be worried about the lack of manpower.

But in fact, those college students who have just graduated, although they do not have too many problems with knowledge reserves, are very lacking in work experience. What about Harvard graduates? No work experience means that there is still naivety that should not exist in the workplace or in the shopping mall.

"How much do you think my company's ins can sell?"

Wen Ming asked this question to a graduate student at Harvard Business School, and the graduate student's eloquent talk made Wen Ming very helpless.

"I don't think we should sell ins, after getting the A round of financing from Teresa Roy Investment Fund, we should use the money to make ins bigger and stronger."

"I have used the Instagram product, and in fact, the main reason why I can apply for a job in your company is that I want to participate in the promotion and development of the Instagram product. Its positioning in your company is completely wrong, it should not only be regarded as a tool product, but should focus on developing its social performance, so that it can become an indispensable social tool in the user's life. ”

"I have made a very detailed operation plan for this, even including a renovation plan for INS, if I can operate INS according to my plan, I believe that in five years, Apple can successfully ring the NASDAQ bell because of this product."

The interviewers, including Wen Ming, applauded, and the graduate student was also full of confidence, with an expression of hurry up to hire me and then give me a high salary and high salary.

In fact, this graduate student candidate was directly passed by Wen Ming.

It's not because the graduate student is not right, it's not because he says it badly, in fact, it's very right, very good.

What is the question raised by Ke Wenming?

"How much can ins sell for?"

It is already taboo in the workplace to completely avoid the direct questions raised by the boss, and even directly question this problem, and even use planning and marketing cases that I don't know exist to attract the attention of the boss.

It's a good thing for employees to be smart, but not too smart, because Wen Ming is interviewing and recruiting employees from the financing department, and all they need to do is to judge the value of a certain product of Apple in the future, and then find a buyer for the right product, or find some new companies with a future, and Apple will invest in these companies.

As for the development of products, the market research department and the planning department are responsible for the proposals, and the operation of the products is also responsible for the operation department, marketing department and other similar departments.

"Boss, it's not that we can't recruit people, it's that your requirements are too high."

The person in charge of Apple's human resources department said aggrievedly: "I know that in your heart, our company will definitely be able to enter the world's top 500, or rather, the founder of any company has this idea." But in fact, our company is really just getting started, so you can't recruit according to the recruitment standards of the world's top 500 companies. ”

After a day's interview, Wen Ming has been thinking about why he is not satisfied with these people, and at this moment, after being reminded by the head of the human resources department, he understands.

In his mind, Apple is the world's most valuable brand and the world's top company that has created a market value of nearly $800 billion, but in fact, the current Apple is too far away from these.

Even if Instagram can successfully sell it for a high price of $1.2 billion, it will only allow Apple to enter the $1 billion club. Although there are not many companies in the world that can enter this club, what is compared to Wenming's goal?

"Well, I do have a problem with my mindset."

Wen Ming bluntly admitted his problem, when he recruited employees before, because they all involved the technical department, it was very easy. However, the financing department, the legal department and other departments do have more experience than knowledge.

And Wen Ming's requirements for experience are too high.

The head of the human resources department said: "There are indeed some candidates who can be hired today, although they have a lack of experience, but if our company's management mechanism is not problematic, then their lack of experience will not cause any major mistakes." ”

After Wen Ming, who was tired, and the person in charge of the human resources department confirmed the signboard list, they were ready to go back to rest.

He now lives in a research and development center next door to Apple's headquarters, with a simple bed and a shared bathroom, which is completely inconsistent with the rich who are about to enter the billion-dollar club.

But under the threat of pancreatic cancer, it is difficult for him to enjoy life.

The R&D center has been off work, Wen Ming got the reports of those researchers verifying certain technologies, and after reading them for a while, he found no problems, and began to count these technologies, preparing to hand them over to Sith to apply for patents the next day.

Thinking of the Sith, the Sith and Cage ran over.

"If I hadn't seen you so busy every day, I would have gone on strike."

Sith unceremoniously sat down on the couch opposite Wen Ming, and motioned for Cage to go to the refrigerator to get some drinks.

As an intern for the Sith, Cage certainly wouldn't have any opinions.

"Speaking of which, although no one disturbs your rest after work here, and there are some necessary electrical appliances for life, you can't always live here?"

Cage, who had just brought back a few bottles of wine, sat down on the single sofa on the other side, and added: "I think you have the potential to be a masochist, and the technology is endless, right?" Why do you have to push yourself to this job? ”

The reason why Wen Ming lives here is naturally that he does some technical 'research', and in order to get the iphone 4 on the market as soon as possible, he has been working overtime for more than a month. After all, even if he had all the technical knowledge to make the iPhone 4, he would need to reproduce those technologies in this world one after another.

Apple researched the iPhone series, I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been invested, how can it be copied in minutes?

"I'm still young, so of course it doesn't matter if I'm tired. Do you know how long it takes to make the daily journey back and forth if you find a good place to live? I also have to spend time cleaning every day, or cooking ......."

"Stop, stop!"

Sith interrupted Wen Ming's words and said, "I somewhat agree with Cage, you really have masochistic potential. ”

Why Wen Ming is so anxious and fighting, Sith and Cage both know the reason, but they can't say or persuade.

Cage suddenly proposed, "How about buying an RV?" It usually parks in the company's parking lot, so you don't have to waste time and can have a good rest. ”

The RV market in the United States is very good, unlike those in China that wear the name of RV, which is actually just a larger business car, those high-end RVs in the United States are not worse than villas, and they can be driven everywhere.

With that, Cage stood up and grabbed a notebook and searched for information about the RV.

"Look at this, in addition to the master bedroom, there is also a separate bathroom, living room, and kitchen. The price is not expensive, only $40,000. Of course, it's second-hand. ”

"Fack, this one is even more powerful, Futuria, known as a land yacht, the luggage area at the back has been converted into a garage for a supercar, oh my God, I want this. Fack, it costs $870,000, which is more expensive than your Bentley. ”

(If you are interested, you can search for the picture, it will look ...... True TM...... )

Wen Ming and Sith both looked at it and leaned over to look at it, and they were really attracted.

Sith smiled: "We have agreed on the details of the negotiation with Jerrys, and we can start this merger and acquisition soon, before that, does our boss need to spend a little?" ”
