Chapter 698: Don't
Never go to work in a small company;
Never go to work at a startup;
Never be in the same company as a friend;
Don't go to work in a company owned by relatives or friends;
Never start a business with a good friend;
Don't ......
This kind of chicken soup like "don't" is too much.
When you have a choice, you have the opportunity to choose from a thousand options, of course, you can "never", when you don't have a choice, don't say "never", there is no "don't"!
Zhao Jing followed Xu Kunting's front and said the sentence "Don't go to work in a friend's company", and then said "Don't start a business with a good friend", in her opinion, this problem also varies from person to person.
When Xu Kunting heard her say this, he nodded seriously and said to Zhao Jing: "You also know wow! Then you still start a company with your friends?"
"What's not to do?!" Zhao Jing asked rhetorically.
What's not to do?!That's okay!
This question, which means yes, does not need to be answered.
But Xu Kunting had a wrong understanding of her words, thinking that she was for him, why?
"The manager who came over told you that I just can't! I used to do a little business with a very good buddy, and when I first started my business, both of them were very motivated, and they did well in the first year, but in the second year, the problem came. I wanted to make it louder, but he wanted to make money and split the money, first buy a house and a car, and then there were more and more problems, and finally he tore his face, and he couldn't even make friends. ”
Xu Kunting gave Zhao Jing a careful analysis in a coming tone: "Running a company with a friend is one of the most likely ways to end a friendship. Starting a business with a friend, because the relationship of 'me with you, who with whom' often breeds a lot of problems. For example, things that should be contracted and put on the line are often negligent because of a good relationship, but when they talk about money, they talk about feelings, and things that should be done according to the rules talk about human feelings. Because they are good friends, at the very beginning, it is often easy to ignore some embarrassing beginnings, such as the division of shares and the establishment of rules and regulations, these problems are not clear, thinking that friendship can solve everything, public and private are not clear, the positioning is not clear, the decision-making power is not clear, and finally it is inevitable to fall into the divergence of interests and power struggle......"
Zhao Jing has not heard of these arguments.
Now listening to Xu Kunting's theory in front of her, it seems that he is very level and his words are very philosophical, Zhao Jing is a little impatient in her heart, and she doesn't like to listen to these general and empty words.
She still has a different opinion: "Don't start a company with a good friend, this sentence has some truth, but it is not absolute, I think, it still varies from person to person, and the specific situation is analyzed." ”
"Absolutely!" Xu Quentin's absolute tone, as if what he said was the truth.
In that case, there is no way to talk about this problem!
And she works in a friend's company, or a start-up company, and starts a business with a friend, he said that these are absolute, if she agrees, wouldn't she want to "pull back from the precipice and turn back?"
Zhao Jing couldn't help but retort and said: "If you say that you don't want to start a business with a good friend, it involves money and interests, and friendship is not pure, and often friends can't do it, according to this logic, then people must not marry the person they love the most." Once you get married, you have to deal with family property, and that's a sad thing, isn't it?"
Zhao Jing said, looking at Xu Kunting, he was still nodding in front, listening to Zhao Jing's logical deduction behind, but he shook his head: "It's not like that!"
"If you don't start a business with friends, who are you with, strangers? Strangers are more trustworthy than friends? When you start a business with nothing and empty hands, a stranger will start a business with you?"
Zhao Jing looked at Xu Kunting again, he couldn't refute this, she continued, "When you are still in the trough of hardship and ready to start a business, in addition to your good friends, old classmates, relatives, and even your wife, your mother and other people who are familiar with each other, who else is willing to take the risk of taking their own money, spending their time and youth to start a business with you? Don't start a business with a good friend, will a stranger start a business with you? Since it is a business, it is not destined to be smooth sailing, and in the face of various problems, it is normal for people to tear each other apart. Are you more likely to be torn apart from friends you've known and trusted for years? Are you more likely to be torn apart from strangers you've never had a relationship with? You see the problem of starting a business with a good friend, but you don't see more problems starting a business alone or starting a business with strangers. There are many failures when starting a business with good friends, and there are just as many failures as there are when starting a business by yourself or starting a business with a stranger, if not more. ”
Therefore, the problem cannot be generalized.
Zhao Jing still insists that there is some truth in not starting a business with good friends, but it is not absolute.
The words that were said earlier were like the truth, but now they have been refuted, and an embarrassed smile appeared on Xu Kunting's face.
"If you follow the logic of not starting a business with good friends, then Yu Minhong, Xu Xiaoping and Wang Qiang did not co-founded New Oriental together, Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong did not co-founded Tencent, Jobs and Wozniak did not co-found Apple, Page and Brin did not co-founded Google, and Musk and Thiel did not co-founded PayPal......"
Listening to Zhao Jing's following examples, the smile on Xu Kunting's face became even more embarrassing.
He often boasted in front of others, especially in front of those women who "have long hair and short knowledge", and his words seemed to be very philosophical, making those women feel that he was very knowledgeable.
Obviously, his trick is not easy to use in front of Zhao Jing today.
Zhao Jing has worked for so many years, and she has not been a fool of herself! In her work, she has to deal with all kinds of people, such as small merchants, small company bosses, backbone of large companies, bosses of large companies, and even big bosses of large group companies.
If you want to talk at length, Zhao Jing will definitely not lose to Xu Kunting, and she can continue: "Starting a business with good friends, there will be all kinds of problems, yes, but starting a business with good friends also has various advantages." For example, my two friends and I have the same educational background and work experience, which ensures our communication efficiency and work efficiency at work, and we don't have to waste time to run in, saving the cost of running in. Our shared values and work goals ensure that the company's development strategy and roadmap can be aligned. We're doing a good job now, and even if something hurts our feelings in the future, it's a matter of the future, and maybe by then, we'll all make money. It's all made money, are you still afraid of problems?!"
Zhao Jing did not say it absolutely, she admitted the problem of starting a business with a good friend, but she also affirmed the advantages of starting a business with a good friend.
"There's some truth to what you're saying. Xu Kunting couldn't refute her words, and deliberately changed the topic, "Zhao Jing, I can't see it, you can still say it." ”
"Just talk nonsense!" Seeing that he avoided the important and changed the topic, this question stopped here, and Zhao Jing was also happy to relax.
Zhao Jing thought that the problem of her work, so far, it was time to talk about other topics, but she didn't think that Xu Kunting asked her about her current income again: "Then how is your current income, how much is it in a year?"
Just said that she should never go to work in a friend's company and never start a business with a friend, Zhao Jing already had a negative impression of Xu Kunting. The first impression at first glance ended here, but now she became a little impatient when she heard him ask her directly about her income.
"So-so, it's enough to be able to support your family. Zhao Jing replied perfunctorily.
Xu Kunting wanted to ask again, but Zhao Jing casually said something else, diverted the topic, and didn't tell him about her income.
