Chapter 7: Old Business

Chapter 7 The old business

…

Back in his car, he carefully browsed Google’s assessment report carefully. After thinking for a while, he took out his mobile phone, found Matta Lincoln’s phone number, and dialed it.

“Hey, Bruce!”

“It’s been more than a week, have you finished my business?”

They all grew up wearing open-crotch pants, so Guo Shouyun didn’t need to be too polite in his words.

“Are you talking about the offshore company? This trivial matter has long been done. However, I heard Martin said that you have been with your girlfriend this week, so I didn’t bother you!”

Martin Alexander, as Guo Shouyun’s best friend, is naturally familiar with Matta Lincoln, who often visits Guo Shouyun.

However, Guo Shouyun was surprised that the two of them could get along. Matta Lincoln is stubborn and arrogant. Unless you are better than him, don’t think he will pretend to you. Martin Alexander, on the other hand, is cowardly by nature and not good at words. Apart from being smart and having a talent that is unattainable for ordinary people on computers, his whole person does not have much brilliance. A dead ‘Aojiao’ and a dead ‘fat house’, it’s really unusual for them to get along with each other.

“It’s good when it’s done, the information will be put in your place first, and I’ll pick it up when I’m free!”

“Okay!…Oh, yes. Catherine passed her thesis defense. She’ll be back next week. Let’s get together then.”

“I know. But I’ll be very busy at this time. So, remember to call and remind me when the time comes!”

“Got it! I’ll hang up if I’m okay.”

“Um!”

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun stepped on the accelerator, and the yellow Chevrolet quickly joined the traffic and disappeared into the city.

He didn’t go back to school, and there’s no need to go back to school. All the degrees that should be taken have already been obtained, and there is no problem in graduating one year early. The most important thing is that time will not allow him to go back to school.

“Boss!”

“boss!”

After Guo Shouyun stepped into LinkedIn’s office, it was no longer in the empty office area. The employees who came and went greeted him respectfully when they saw Guo Shouyun.

Nodding all the way, I found Martin, who was upgrading the LinkedIn website with the technical staff of the development department that had just been formed, and Tim George, the chief operating officer who just recruited this week, who graduated from Stanford Business School with an MBA. I walked into a small conference room separated by tempered glass.

“Now that the company is starting up, we are the only three at the top. So we have to discuss the next stage of the company’s development priorities. … Tim, although you have not been in the company for a long time, I still want to hear your opinion. ”

Looking at Guo Shouyun’s young, energetic and confident face, Tim George understood that the next answer was a test for himself. Combined with my understanding of LinkedIn in the past few days, as well as my own work experience and knowledge reserves, think for a moment.

“Mr. President…!”

“Just call me Bruce, everyone is both a colleague and a friend. When there are no other employees, feel free!” Guo Shouyun interrupted.

Having read a lot about the internal mechanisms of major Internet companies in later generations, Guo Shouyun also understands that for high-tech companies, the imagination of employees is a hundred times more important than the rigid subordinate system.

Tim George breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he is only twenty-six or seven years old, and his work experience is not too rich. Therefore, Guo Shouyun’s casual nature has reduced a lot of pressure on him.

“We LinkedIn is an Internet company that focuses on professional networking. Therefore, for us, the core competitiveness is to meet the ultimate needs of users in terms of ‘social networking’ and ‘professional appeal’. Social networking, no It is the mutual communication between people. At present, we have a forum on LinkedIn, which provides a platform for people to communicate with each other. But social networking should not only have a platform, but also divide the distance between close and distant, that is, the so-called ‘social circle’ ‘. But we currently do not have a program on LinkedIn that can provide users with different social circles.”

After a pause, Tim George became more confident after noticing that both Guo Shouyun and Martin Alexander were listening carefully.

“There are also professional demands. Users who register on LinkedIn and even pay for it will definitely gain something. Forums alone are not enough. We must also provide some cutting-edge information on the development of various industries, as well as high-quality review articles. And the comments of celebrities and famous people to attract users. In addition, I think we can develop a program that can show users their talents, so that they can attract the attention of the company’s HR. Realize their own home ownership appeals.”

“Finally, I think we can provide some high-quality online professional courses to meet the requirements of LinkedIn members to improve their professionalism and skills. Of course, the current broadband does not allow, but we can plan ahead.”

Guo Shouyun glanced at the young CEO in front of him in surprise. The reason why he was recruited at the beginning was just to let him manage the daily affairs of the company. Guo Shouyun was naturally responsible for the strategic development direction of the company. Never thought that in today’s conversation, Tim George actually gave him some unexpected surprises.

Especially the idea of ‘online courses’ in the back is undoubtedly a very advanced idea in today’s era when there is no video website and the broadband speed is so slow.

“Clap…!”

Guo Shouyun took the initiative to applaud.

“Tim, it seems that choosing you as the company’s CAO was the best decision I made!”

“Thank you Boss!”

In the face of compliments, Tim George remained calm. This undoubtedly gave him more affirmation in Guo Shouyun’s heart.

“Martin, you heard it! Regarding the program development of ‘address book upload and group division’, as well as ‘personal homepage and company homepage’, we need to speed up the progress!”

“Bruce, the development department will be able to complete the development of these two programs by Christmas at the latest!” Martin said to himself.

“It seems that these bosses I mentioned have long been thought of!”

Tim George said seriously.

Guo Shouyun smiled, “Tim, Martin will lead the development department. Next, you will be responsible for the formation of the editing, logistics, finance, and marketing departments.”

“Yes!”

“Regarding the choice of the chief financial officer, we must be cautious.”

Forget the rest, the CFO is a position that requires experience. After all, U.S. tax law is too complicated. Without an experienced CFO, LinkedIn would suffer in tax.

Of course these Tim Georges understood, and he nodded seriously with a serious nature.

“Also, hire me a secretary.”

“Does the Boss have any specific requirements?”

“There must be real talents and real learning, and the rest is optional!”

“Understood!”

Guo Shouyun’s calm but somewhat majestic eyes swept across the two of them quickly.

“You two, starting from today, LinkedIn is officially established. It is April 15th, and there are still 8 months before Christmas. I hope that when Christmas comes this year, our registered users of LinkedIn will be registered. Able to break through 6 million!”

“Yes, Boss!”

The two said in unison.

Guo Shouyun nodded with satisfaction, “Then I’ll be here first this time, you all go to work!”

After the two left, Guo Shouyun sat quietly in the conference room for a while, straightened out the arrangements for the past few days, and walked out of the conference room. Came to his office, opened the HP laptop on the desk.

In his two lifetimes, he was not used to Apple very much, so HP, which installed Windows 2000 and Office, became the best choice.

Looking at the old antique on the table, Guo Shouyun smacked his lips.

“It’s a pity that Microsoft’s peak has passed, otherwise investing in its stocks would have made a fortune.”

After Microsoft set a record of the highest market value of a listed company in human history at $661.6 billion on December 30, 1999, it was investigated by the US Congress for antitrust control, and UUkanshu.com’s stock price also fell. After the Nasdaq crisis and the mistakes on the Vista operating system, Microsoft’s stock price never exceeded the peak of 1999. It was not until the amazing Windows7 appeared in 2009 that this situation changed.

However, after missing the tide of the Internet and mobile Internet, Microsoft can still rank among the top, and it is also admirable that it is second only to Apple and Google in the total market value of global technology companies.

After throwing away unnecessary distractions, Guo Shouyun opened ‘My Documents’, and a dozen folders jumped out on the page. Apart from a few system files, as well as work files, there are three most high profile folders.

One is marked ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, one is marked ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, and the last is ‘Island Bookstore’.

After accepting the reality of rebirth, when Guo Shouyun thought about how to accumulate his first pot of gold, the first thing that came to his mind was to write novels.

This is what he is best at and what he is most sure of. And speaking of this, I have to mention Guo Shouyun’s last life.

He had a preference for history and language since he was a child. Although he was not admitted to one because of his partiality, he also read the literature department of a provincial key university. After four years of college, he joined a newspaper as an intern editor. It’s a pity that at that time, the newspapers had already lost their market due to the impact of the Internet media. After not getting paid for several months, Guo Shouyun had to resign in order to fill his stomach.

Later, after working as a clerk in several companies for two years, he joined NetEase and worked as an editor in the financial sector. Because he also likes online novels like most young diaosi, after seeing San Shao, potatoes, tomatoes, and skeleton spirits in 12 years exposing the tens of millions of royalties on the “Daily Up” program, out of envy, he also Join the ranks of web writers.
