David Templeton frowned slightly when he heard Zhang Zhonghua's request, he really didn't want to take on the last business, the work cycle was too long, the profit was relatively low, and there was not much profit at all, which can be called the chicken rib of the chicken rib.

But the ducks are already in their mouths, so how can David Templeton let them fly away?

Although Zhang Zhonghua only needs 200 people now, he believes that as Zhang Zhonghua's company gets bigger and bigger in the future, there may be more programmers to be hired.

Zhang Zhonghua is a potential super big customer in his future, and he can't push Zhang Zhonghua to another company because of a little thing, so let alone only 200 programmers, even if it is only 20 programmers, David Templeton decided to take this job.

"That's perfectly fine, but the hiring cycle is probably a little longer, because we also have a lot of time to screen technicians."

David Templeton said to Zhang Zhonghua.

"Of course, I think we can do it in a packaged way, and I can pay you $3,000 for every programmer you hire that meets our requirements, but I need a technical lead that you prioritize.

I'm just spending money to buy time, hoping to recruit people sooner and set up the company sooner, what do you think? ”

At present, the salary of a computer talent in Chouguo is about 800 to 900 US dollars, and Zhang Zhonghua gave a recruitment agency fee of three months' salary, which is already a very high intermediary fee, and it is much easier to recruit people under his own banner.

"Okay, no problem."

David Templeton immediately smiled and agreed.

200 programmers are up to 600,000 US dollars, which is not a small amount of money, which can be compared to the income of hiring the CEOs of two multinational companies, the main thing is that it is not difficult, but it takes a little longer, and this order is worth it!

After Zhang Zhonghua paid David Templeton a deposit, he left Heidrick & Struggles with people, and it will take a week for programmers to come for interviews at the earliest, but senior talents such as technical directors will be much faster.

Zhang Zhonghua couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the two talents he mentioned, Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, who were the real inventors of the ix system and won the Turing Award together.

It's just that the two great gods are not yet thirty years old, and they both work in the Ugly Country Bell Laboratory, which is where countless elites gather, and their temples are too small.

Zhang Zhonghua took the security guard to find a hotel in Palo Alto City, although it is not far from San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, but there is no need to toss back and forth.

Following.

Early in the morning, Zhang Zhonghua came to Stanford University, and if he didn't go to Palo Alto to visit the Stanford campus, wouldn't he become a hero on the Great Wall, with only 20,000 trips.

The main feature of Stanford University is the natural forest-like design, coupled with the free-curvy road, but the impressive multi-kilometer coconut tree avenue that has no natural meaning and shows an artificial scale.

The Stanford campus was designed by the famous designer Frederick Olmsted, and his most famous masterpieces are Central Park in Manhattan in New York and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

Zhang Zhonghua rode a bicycle into the campus along the coconut tree avenue, and the air was fresh and the scenery was beautiful. The buildings of Stanford University are all yellow bricks and red tiles, all flat and stable, all in the style of a Spanish mission hall in the 17th century.

When you enter the university, the first thing you see is the red-roofed buildings surrounded by earthy yellow stone walls, with arcades and brown flails, which are full of strong cultural and academic atmosphere in the interplay of classical and modern.

The central plaza is the main part of Stanford, and around it, there are business schools, earth schools, education schools, engineering schools, law schools, medical schools, and so on. Beyond is the Stanford Science Park, the Botanical Gardens, a golf course, and several scientific testing grounds.

Stanford University does not have the buildings of different ages and styles of Harvard and Cambridge, and there are fewer ivy ivies on the walls of New York University, but the unique charm and spacious campus are not comparable to other universities.

"Boss, this Stanford University is too big, it must have tens of thousands of acres! So much land was donated to build a school, it was really rich, and the elder Stanford was really willing to do it for his son. ”

Zhang Long said in surprise. Before coming, Zhang Long learned about the origin of Stanford University, that is, "all California children in the future will be our children." The story.

"The school has 8,180 acres, probably close to 50,000 acres, and it used to be a farm for training breeding horses."

Zhang Zhonghua said with emotion.

The elder Stanford has to say that he is a great philanthropist, and a school that has changed the world can be regarded as a success.

In the more than 100 years of Stanford University's history, a total of 84 Stanford alumni, professors and researchers have won the Nobel Prize, 29 have won the Turing Award, and 8 have won the Fields Medal.

Stanford University laid a solid foundation for the formation and rise of Silicon Valley, producing leaders from high-tech companies, including the founders of Hewlett-Packard, Google, Yahoo, Nike, Logitech, Snapchat, Chouguo Art Electronics, Sun Micro, NVIDIA, Cisco, and LinkedIn.

"Boss, this Stanford motto 'the wind of freedom blows,' this is 'the wind of freedom blows,' how does it feel weird."

Zhang Long watched it for a long time and didn't understand what it meant.

"The meaning of the school motto is to encourage and ensure that teachers and students can freely engage in teaching and related subject research.

The establishment of Stanford University coincided with the industrial revolution and higher education reform in the country, which made its educational philosophy all engraved with the imprint of the times, and all showed the spirit of pragmatism and entrepreneurship.

Stanford University was founded with a clear mission to 'make what is learned directly useful to students' lives and to help them succeed.'

Therefore, its purpose is to actively play the role of the university and promote the well-being of society in the ultimate interest of the progress of civilization of the whole human race; Teach students to abide by the law and enjoy the joy of freedom; To educate students to respect and love the noble principles inherent in a democracy, which derive from the inalienable right of people to live, to liberty and to pursue their happiness'. ”

This is the real university, where what you have learned is applied to promote the progress of human civilization, rather than cramming education to mass-produce college students.

"And this Hoover Memorial, there are too many bells on it."

"Hoover, the 31st president of the Ugly Nation, graduated from Stanford University and was a mining engineer.

In 1898, Hoover was sent to work in the Kailuan Coal Mine in Tangshan as an engineer in the Chouguo Kingdom, where he worked as a principal engineer for a private company.

In China, Hoover stole the Kaiping Coal Mine, which gave Hoover the first pot of gold in his life and laid the foundation for his later political career.

From 1929 to 1933, Hoover was a very dynamic business president, and the first business president of the ugly country. ”

Zhang Zhonghua said.

Subsequently, Zhang Zhonghua and a few people rode around the campus, there are many men in science and technology, but the girls in the school dare not compliment their appearance, after all, the girls with outstanding looks are the focus of boys' attention, and it takes a lot of time to deal with licking dogs every day, how can there be time to study hard.

There are not many libraries, laboratories, graduate students in the school, and there are not many majors offered, such as economics, mathematics, biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace, and so on.

Stanford's academic system is different from other universities in that the school rules divide the year into four quarters, and students take different classes for each period.

As a result, students at Stanford take more courses and are more stressful than students at other universities than those at two-semester colleges.

Students at Stanford must complete compulsory courses in nine areas, including Culture and Thought, Natural Sciences, Science and Technology, and Practical Sciences, Literature and Art, Philosophy, Social Sciences, and Religious Thought.

Yale University has always ranked first in the United States in the law school rankings of Choukook University, followed by Harvard University, Stanford University, Lumbia University, and Chigaga University.

Zhang Zhonghua and the others transferred to Stanford University for a day, but they still haven't transferred to the whole school, and it's not good if the school is too big, it's tiring!

After leaving Stanford University, Zhang Zhonghua took his bodyguards to San Francisco's Chinatown for a meal, and then returned to the Stanford University Industrial Park.

The next day, Heidfish & Struggles had already arranged for an interview with YH Software, which was worthy of being a giant company in the headhunting world.

Zhang Zhonghua also started his own job as an interviewer.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua. I'm Henry Morey, and I graduated with a master's degree from Stanford University's School of Computer Science. After graduation, he worked at Fairchild Semiconductor. ”

Henry Morey looked at Zhang Zhonghua with admiration, introduced his work experience and research results, he knew the man in front of him, Zhang Zhonghua can be called the god of computer programming, he sincerely admires the YH database.

】

Zhang Zhonghua got Henry Morey's information early in the morning, and he was very satisfied with this software architect who was just in his thirties.

Although the sun is setting in the fairy child, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the chief architect is still a graduate student at Stanford, which shows his ability.

Zhang Zhonghua chatted with Henry Morey about technical issues, and then asked some database questions, and Zhang Zhonghua was even more satisfied.

"Hello Mr. Henry Morey, welcome to YH Software, our company, I don't know, what else do you want."

Zhang Zhonghua mainly introduced the company's business and made an offer to Henry Morey as CTO, Fairchild is the largest technology company in the western part of the ugly country, and it is estimated that there is no other more suitable person.

"No, I wish I wanted to see the ix system sooner."

The monthly salary of $20,000 here is $5,000 higher than that of Fairchild, and the boss's level is a few streets away from himself, he can learn a lot from the boss, what is there to dislike? He's very happy now.

"I'm afraid not now, you are the second employee of the company, and we will recruit together in the next time."

Zhang Zhonghua smiled bitterly.

The new computer language is a huge attraction for every self-motivated computer programmer.

Zhang Zhonghua took Henry Morey to familiarize himself with the company's layout and computer equipment, and Henry Morey was also shocked by Zhang Zhonghua, the equipment here is really advanced enough, and the boss is worthy of a software seller of 1.5 billion US dollars.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and this small investment is nothing to Zhang Zhonghua.

"Boss, there are too many snacks and drinks in this office."

Henry Morey was dumbfounded as he watched as there were several shelves of snacks on each floor of the company, and there were more snacks and drinks in the lounge.

"Employees can eat snacks and drink drinks during their breaks, which is called a combination of work and rest.

And it will take a few months for the company's headquarters to be built in Santa Clara, and it will be more complete there, and there will be a fitness room and kitchen, which is already considered a grievance for everyone. ”

Zhang Zhonghua is carrying forward the tradition of the office environment of Internet companies in the ugly country in his previous life, and it doesn't cost a lot of money anyway, and all the companies under the Jade Emperor Group are like this.

I don't want to say anything else about my company, but you definitely have to be the best boss in the world, so that you can attract countless employees to be cattle and horses, and you are reluctant to leave in order to eat and drink well.

At noon, Zhang Zhonghua took Henry Morey and several administrative staff to the largest western restaurant in the park, and ordered a lot of seafood for a big meal.

The proximity to the Pacific Ocean means that there is no shortage of seafood, and the price is not expensive, of course, some cherished seafood is still very expensive.

Everyone is very satisfied with this meal, although ugly people often eat hamburgers and fries for three meals, but if there is a serious meal, who will eat hamburger fries.

After dinner, Zhang Zhonghua and Henry Morey came to the conference room, and ten programmers came to interview in the afternoon.

Now there is no need to fill in forms, written exams and the like, even if you want to fill in the form, there is no office software to use, and it is a lot more convenient to directly have a technical interview.

Soon new interviewers arrived.

"Oh my God. Boss, why are you here? ”

Dimitri Zverev, who came to YH for an interview, was surprised to see the chief architect of his original company as soon as he walked into the company.

Then I reacted, this is Henry Morey, this is one step ahead of him, or the same company, although it is a little embarrassing, but it is not bad to work under the boss and Zhang Zhonghua.
