“Your opinions are very pertinent, and I am also very supportive of the idea of expanding LinkedIn’s offline services. However, I do not agree with the establishment of a separate headhunting company under LinkedIn. There are two reasons: first, the door to the headhunting industry. Too high, not only requires a large number of professionals, as well as a lot of money, but also requires deep contacts. We can solve the capital, but the contacts and professionals are what we lack in LinkedIn. And this industry is also for us. too unfamiliar.”
“…Second, LinkedIn is an Internet professional social networking company. The core of our service is professional social networking rather than professional intermediary. The latter serves the former, so how can we solve the user’s job search needs in the fastest way and increase the number of user registrations and stickiness? It is the core of our concern. Obviously, it is easier to solve this problem by taking advantage of our information advantages and cooperating with a mature headhunting company than by setting up a headhunter by ourselves.” Guo Shouyun said solemnly.
Just a few months ago, he had absolutely no problem with LinkedIn setting up a separate headhunting company. But after repeated entanglement and hesitation in the acquisition of the cdma research department and patents of Juji Company, Guo Shouyun finally realized the biggest problem since his rebirth: he was too greedy.
The huge advantage of rebirth for nearly 20 years makes him see that every industry contains huge opportunities, although he has consciously controlled his greed and gave up investment opportunities in many industries. But in less than a year, he has straddled six or seven fields such as film production, publishing, games, the Internet, and financial investment. Although he has made money or seized future opportunities, he has undoubtedly scattered his not rich funds and energy, and he has not been at the top of any industry.
Therefore, after acquiring the cdma department of Juji Company and deciding to cultivate in it, Guo Shouyun began to plan his future more rationally. Many unnecessary and non-core investment plans have been eliminated, including the headhunting industry that was originally intended to be entered.
Tim Duncan and Frank Arnell and other veterans who have been on LinkedIn for a long time exchanged glances, and they were a little surprised by Guo Shouyun’s refusal, who were familiar with Guo Shouyun’s temperament. However, the other party’s analysis is also in line with the reality of LinkedIn, so no one objected.
“Boss, since we want to cooperate with a mature headhunter, which one should we choose?” Tim Duncan asked.
“Any of the top five headhunters can do it, it just depends on who’s conditions are good!”
LinkedIn holds the most important information resource in the headhunting industry. The emperor’s daughter is not worried about marriage, and the bargaining capital is abundant, so Guo Shouyun did not explain in detail.
“Understood!”
Tim Duncan nodded.
“Regarding the field of general career intermediaries, we will manage and expand in the form of branches and divisions in accordance with the resolution just now, starting from California, and then expanding to the whole country after accumulating experience.”
Compared with headhunters, the gates of ordinary career intermediaries are much lower, and they do not require much tracking services in the later stage. Therefore, LinkedIn, which has mastered the core information advantage, has a huge advantage, so it does not need any partners. Besides, employment agencies are generally not large, and there is no suitable one for cooperation. It is better to do it yourself.
“Yes!”
“Does anyone have any other questions?”
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said a word.
“Since that’s the case, let’s start this executive meeting, let’s end the meeting!”
“Bruce!”
Just as Guo Shouyun was packing up the office supplies on the table and preparing to leave, Martin Alexander, who didn’t speak much during the entire meeting, blocked his way.
“Is something wrong?”
“There will be a computer science reunion tomorrow night, and everyone wants to invite you to participate!”
“Alumni Association?”
Guo Shouyun said in surprise.
“Yeah! They’re basically our classmates from the 98th grade computer science department!” Martin nodded.
In the previous life, Guo Shouyun participated in many alumni reunions after graduating from University. At the beginning, everyone was still bragging and farting normally, eating and drinking, and talking about goodbye by the way. But after working for a few years, the reunion has basically changed. Comparing with each other, bragging and beating horses became popular. After a few times, Guo Shouyun never went there again. However, he has not experienced what the American classmates will be like, and he is somewhat interested.
In fact, even though he was at Stanford for two years, his best friends other than Martin were a bunch of animals on the basketball team. As for the Department of Computer Science, because there is no fixed class location, most of them are general acquaintances.
“What time and place?”
“Tomorrow at 6 o’clock at my house!”
“your home?”
Guo Shouyun looked at Martin Alexander in astonishment. When did this guy with infinite emotional intelligence think of organizing a class reunion?
“It was Su Li’s idea!”
Martin touched the back of his head, a bit of embarrassment on his face.
“Suri Windrow?”
In addition to being surprised, Guo Shouyun’s mind quickly came to the image of a golden woman with a beautiful appearance and a hot body. As Martin’s roommate, the object of his long-standing admiration is all too clear.
However, as the flower of Stanford Law School, Suri Windrow has countless suitors around her. In contrast, Martin has almost no advantages other than computers. Therefore, I confessed several times in four years of college, but they were all ruthlessly rejected by the other party.
“Are you really together?”
“Um!”
After nodding hard, Martin had an excited look on his face.
Seeing his dead appearance falling into the honeypot, Guo Shouyun was happy for him, but also warned him a few words. Because he didn’t have to guess to understand that Sully Windrow’s change of heart was definitely not him, but for his wealth and status on LinkedIn.
Although LinkedIn has not yet been listed, there are not one or two institutions that come to invest. Although they were all rejected by Guo Shouyun. But unexpectedly, the more he refused, the higher the offer from these investment institutions. Recently, Idg has given an offer of 2000,000 for 10% of the shares. Although it was still rejected by Guo Shouyun. But all of Silicon Valley knows LinkedIn’s future is limitless. And Martin Alexander, who owns 15% of LinkedIn, is worth over 10 million. The most important thing is that LinkedIn is still in the high development stage, and the 15% stake in his hands is still increasing in value. Therefore, for those beautiful women who want to step into the upper class, Martin is undoubtedly a potential stock that cannot be missed. Although Suri Windrow’s appearance was beyond Guo Shouyun’s expectations, it was also reasonable.
So, after thinking about it, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth. One is that the current Martin may not listen to his admonitions; the other is that Guo Shouyun, who has been in the society for more than ten years in his previous life, knows very well that even if there is no Suri Windrow by Martin’s side, there will be other beautiful The woman appears. Rather than being a stranger he didn’t know, it was the current Suri Windrow.
“Congratulations, Martin, your long-cherished wish has finally come true!”
“Thank you! … Bruce, you should also think about your own personal problems. I think Wendy is good, you can think about it!” Martin nodded happily, then glanced at Jin Li who was standing not far away, He whispered in Guo Shouyun’s ear.
“You don’t need to worry about me. You should live your two-person world with Su Li. When you get married, I will be the best man for you!” Guo Shouyun shook his head and laughed.
His personal problems were never a problem.
“Agreed?”
“certainly!”
Guo Shouyun nodded.
“Then I’ll go first, remember the party tomorrow night!”
“Know!”
Looking at his back, UU read www. A look of thought appeared on Guo Shouyun’s face on uukanshu.com.
“Suri Windrow is a scheming woman. She actually wants to build her own network of contacts through Martin and my influence? … Tomorrow night’s class reunion will be interesting!”
“Boss, it’s almost time!”
Wendy Solo came over and reminded.
Guo Shouyun nodded, picked up his coat from the seat back and put it on, then pushed the door and walked out. His assignment this afternoon was more than just a regular LinkedIn meeting.
