Chapter 086: HBS Business Queen
Cang Yaozu saw a younger version of Sheryl Sandberg, and of course, 27 years old is still young.
This girl has also been a top student since she was a child, she was easily admitted to Harvard University, studied economic management, and then graduated with the first grade, followed Lawrence Summers into politics, and her life was smooth.
Sherrill doesn't have the graceful and warm temperament of middle age, but it's not bad, full of youthful vitality, picturesque eyebrows, and now she still looks like a shawl with long hair, this is a beautiful woman who is not inferior to Melissa.
"Hi Sherill, hello, long time no see. Melissa showed rare enthusiasm, and she and Sheryl gave a hug.
"Yes, after graduation, the work is endless, this hectic is a disaster, and time seems to have changed a lot, but no matter how time changes, Melissa, you are still so beautiful. ”
"You too, you're the most aesthetic bully in my mind. ”
"You too, you too, haha!"
"Two beauties, excuse me, let me introduce myself, I am Cang Yaozu, from Huaxia, I came to see you this time, Sheryl. ”
"Cang, it's a little difficult to pronounce, what, you're having a problem, is it racism or a business problem? For Melissa's sake, I will definitely help you if I can help you." ”
Sheryl Sandberg saw that Cang Yaozu was a Chinese, and she thought that Cang Yaozu had encountered some difficulties, and she came to her for help today.
"Let's find a place to sit down and talk, I don't think it's an easy topic. ”
"Okay, go over there, what's a serious incident?"
"Haha, no, I'm a rich man, so, I'm doing well in this country, and the other day, I ordered a private jet from Boeing, which is a big guy.
Sheril, didn't Melissa tell you? She's working for me now, well, helped me raise a lot of money, and I've invested in a couple of companies.
One of these companies is about to go public, but I realize that it still lacks a CEO, and I hope you can come and help me, and together with Melissa, two of your business queens at HBS will join forces to take this business to the top. ”
"Oh, I didn't expect you to poach me, this is really rare. Tell me, why did I give up my promising job to go into business, and what could this change bring to my life?"
Sheryl Sandberg was interested in the conversation that followed, and she was looking forward to the Chinese man coming up with some interesting reasons.
"This, all I can say is that business is more challenging, you need to handle more things independently, you need to manage more people, you need higher IQ and emotional intelligence.
Politics, on the other hand, is too hypocritical, and both politics and economics are the playing field of the oligarchs. Rather than this, it is better to give full play to your management expertise, I know that you are from an economic management major, or a top student, an Internet start-up will definitely be difficult for you. ”
"If I'm in business, why don't I go to a bigger company like Microsoft, like IBM, like Yahoo, but go to a startup like yours?"
"Sheryl, you're taking the exam. Microsoft is too big, with your current qualifications, you can only start from the middle and low level, it's too wasteful of time, and Microsoft lacks Internet genes. IBM is mainly engaged in hardware, relying on technology and services, and there is not much room for management. Yahoo is indeed on the rise right now, but his defeat is assured. ”
"Oh, why is that? You know I don't know much about the Internet. ”
"One is that Yahoo's equity is too dispersed, and the other is that Yahoo is a gateway and a portal is defeated, and it is difficult for him to transform. In the end, he appeared too early, we have an old saying in China, the rafters that come out of the head rot first, and the people who go to the mines are heroes. ”
"I'm a little interested, what kind of company are you, can you tell me more about it?"
"We're an instant messaging software company, ICQ, have you used it? If not, it's our failure. ”
"I've really used it, alumni groups, and heck, I've joined a lot of alumni groups. Graduate school, college, high school, too many to count. ”
"Well, that's the company, and I want you to be the CEO of ICQ. ”
"But I don't know much about the Internet, and I don't use computers very much. ”
"It doesn't matter, you don't need to engage in research and development in terms of technology, the only way for Internet companies to make money is to earn advertising fees through advertising clicks, we also have this, a very mature model, but generally not lightly, well, pop-ups, you will use it ten times a year eight times, so it is not your task to increase revenue."
You only need to use your personality charm to handle the relationship between inside and outside the company, build a harmonious working atmosphere within the company, and strive for a good external growth environment for the company. I won't talk about the management, just don't be too strict.
Finally, it is to cooperate with investment banks and brokerages to complete the listing as soon as possible, which should be your strength. By the way, you'll need to go to the NASDAQ to ring the bell then. ”
"It's as simple as that? I think Melissa is perfectly fine. ”
"I have other tasks to complete, Ah Yao has invested in more than one company, Marvel, you know, it was acquired by our private equity fund. ”
"Wow, Phoenix Girl, I like Phoenix Girl. ”
"Well, you can go back and make a cameo, well, Mother of the Phoenix Girl. ”
"I'll you, I'm not that old. ”
"Senior sister, I need you, I'm so tired, our company has acquired one after another, every family needs management talents, we will fly to London in a few days, and then it will be a bit of an acquisition phobia now." ”
"Haha, Melissa, it's just that the acquisitions are more concentrated during this time, so ah, you recommend more talents to manage these companies.
The companies we acquired are all related, and I will set up a special management body, and you will all be important members of it at that time. ”
"I'm actually more moved, but on the teacher's side, I'm not very good at walking away, he values me very much and has been taking me with him. ”
"Senior sister, practice is also very important, especially at the enterprise level, if you want to enter politics, it will be too late for another thirty or forty years. I don't think your mentor will stop you. ”
"Well, give me one more reason. "Sheryl Sandberg is actually already moved, as long as Cang Yaozu pushes a little harder, maybe she will agree.
"With an annual salary of $5 million, 1% of ICQ shares, I signed a three-year guaranteed buyback clause at a price of $1 billion. 10 years of service to the group will also have another 1% stake or $1 billion in incentives. ”
"Wow, that's so direct, I'm stunned by the dollars, but I like it, it's settled, and the mentor can't stop me from craving these dollars. ”
Sheryl Sandberg stretched out his hand, and Cang Yaozu gently shook it: "Welcome, Sheryl, welcome to the greatest entrepreneurial team in Silicon Valley." ”
"Thank you, thank you for the invitation, big boss behind the scenes, Cang!"
"Hehe, call me Ah Yao, the beauties all call me Ah Yao. ”
