My Age of Investment

The fourth floor where the YouTube company is located is very empty, with only a dozen employees working in an office of nearly 1,000 square meters.

Xia Jingxing paced, admonishing the puppy and babes who were following him as he walked.

"The development of the YouTube website is not an easy task.

What we want to develop is a video sharing website that is not available on the market. It takes a lot of time and energy to explore many functions and designs such as video format conversion, user playback experience, and one-click sharing.

In the early stage, I had to watch here, and I would participate in the architecture and design of the website. "

"Boss, you don't need to do this, right? You, a CEO, are going to focus on the development of a new product?"

The little dog frowned, and then automatically asked Ying, "Why don't you let me come, I think I can do this job.

You, as CEO of Facebook, have more important jobs waiting for you. "

Xia Jingxing shook his head. In his previous life, YouTube was able to be a great success. He summed up a few points.

First of all, the website was launched very cleverly. At the beginning of 2005, users just had needs, but they could not meet them. The emergence of YouTube websites filled the vacant role in the market.

Secondly, many designs of the website are in line with the public's intentions, such as the display of video playback, which satisfies the users' desire for comparison and vanity.

If he left it alone and let more than a dozen engineers develop freely, who knows what would be developed.

Whether it will succeed or not is an unknown.

The purpose of his joining is to make many things controllable.

Although there is no 100% guarantee of success, but doing so, the success rate will definitely increase a lot.

Kristina smiled and said, "This kind of hands-on work of yours reminds me of a person."

"Who?"

Xia Jingxing looked at Yang Niu, who was wearing a professional skirt today, a slim-fitting off-white plaid shirt wrapped around a plump upper circumference, and black stockings under the knee-length skirt, which matched her height of 1.7 meters. People appear very tall and capable.

"Jobs!"

Kristina smiled sweetly, "The CEO is involved in every product design of Apple, and his control over the details has become a kind of paranoia."

Xia Jingxing replied indifferently, "Aside from personal morality, in business, he is a person worthy of admiration."

"But just for business!"

[Reading Welfare] Follow the public.. No. [Book Friends Base Camp], and draw cash/point coins every day when reading books!

Kristina looked at Xia Jingxing and said very seriously: "He abandoned his biological daughter Lisa and escaped the responsibility of being a biological father.

In life, he's an asshole and not at all admirable. "

Xia Jingxing shrugged and did not refute this.

I still have to blame the old man Moritz from Sequoia Capital. At that time, Moritz was a reporter for Time Magazine. Not long after the Macintosh computer was launched, this old man interviewed Steve Jobs and made a biography of Apple. Jobs also had an illegitimate illegitimate daughter.

Jobs refused to admit that the daughter was his own and refused to pay child support.

The ex-girlfriend worked as a cleaner and received relief money, so she could not afford her daughter, so she sued Jobs and did a paternity test.

It was later proved that Lisa was indeed Jobs' biological daughter, and there was no way to deny it.

This incident, which happened in the early 1980s, caused a great stain on the life of Steve Jobs, the new generation of business leaders.

Xia Jingxing felt that it was understandable and normal for Christina to criticize Jobs from the perspective of a woman.

"Are you dressed so formally today? Are you going to some important meeting?"

Xia Jingxing looked at Kristina and asked the latter.

"Yes, a gathering of female executives from Silicon Valley startups and VCs, and they sent me an invitation too."

Yang Niu said with a smile, "The people who attended the party were big people, such as Google Vice President Marissa Mayer, known as the most beautiful woman in Silicon Valley, Salesforce's founding investor Magdalena Yesir, Oracle Co-President Safra Katz, HP Worldwide Vice President Liver More..."

When Xia Jingxing heard it, the standard was very high. The most powerful women in Silicon Valley were all wiped out.

Compared with those big companies, Facebook is still almost in size.

However, Yang Niu is the co-founder and shareholder of Facebook, which makes up for the lack of size.

So being invited to attend the conference is not very outrageous.

"Then you have to pay attention when you go!"

Xia Jingxing reminded with a smile.

"Pay attention to what?"

Xia Jingxing scanned Yang Niu from head to toe and joked, "Be careful not to steal the limelight from those old women.

Mayer is the youngest among them, and he is almost 30 years old.

Once you go, you won't take away the title of the most beautiful woman in Silicon Valley. "

Yang Niu smiled without saying a word, her face was calm, and she was still very happy.

In order to please others, and thus wronged herself, it is impossible for her.

She just wanted to dress nicely, so as not to be looked down upon by those old women.

The little dog nodded sharply, "Mayer is actually like that, she doesn't look good at all, I heard that Larry Page even dated her, what kind of vision is that?

Maybe her vice president position was made on a date. "

Speaking of this, the dog gave Xia Jingxing a look that a man could understand.

There is actually a lot of gossip in Silicon Valley, and a lot of peach news.

As the chief information officer, the dog naturally sees six roads and listens to all directions.

"I ask you to do it, and you gossip me every day."

Xia Jingxing raised his hand and was ready to pack up the puppy.

The puppy smirked and hid away.

Yang Niu rolled her eyes at the dog, "Mayer is not a vase, she got a master's degree in computer science from Stanford at the age of 24, and joined Google in 1999. She is Google's 20th employee, and the first female engineer and product manager.

And she is also a big fan of Facebook, I often chat and interact with her on Facebook.

I went to this conference, the main purpose is to see if I can pull some cooperation resources for Facebook. "

Xia Jingxing gave Yang Niu a thumbs up, "It's a good idea, hurry up and blend it!"

"Then I'm leaving now?"

"Go ahead and try to come back with a $100 million contract."

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, it was purely a joke, and he didn't expect Yang Niu to negotiate any great contract orders.

After Yang Niu left, Xia Jingxing looked at the dozen or so employees who were sparsely sitting at their workstations, clapped their hands, and shouted loudly, "Guys, come here, let's have a meeting together."

More than a dozen employees moved their chairs and gathered around.

"Everyone is clear about the next development content, right?"

The employees nodded. When Chief Human Resources Officer Luo Li asked them for an interview, it was already clear that the company would develop a video website next.

To this end, all employees who were transferred to the oil pipeline also signed a non-disclosure agreement.

"Maybe some people don't know how awesome and epoch-making the YouTube website is.

I will now tell you that this is a product that can be compared to Facebook's text-based social networking and photo-based social networking.

The company attaches great importance to this project. In addition to dispatching the most elite employees, that is, you, to participate in this development task, it will also provide support in other human and material resources.

At the same time, I will also join the development team as a product manager.

In the next two months, I will work together with you to complete the development tasks.

In response to this development task, the company has provided an option incentive worth nearly 6 million US dollars..."

The employees looked at Xia Jingxing with eager eyes, as if a flame was burning in their eyes.

Most of them have not yet received the option of Facebook.

And this time, the reward is close at hand, and it only takes two months to get things related to future wealth and freedom.

Everyone is gearing up and can't wait to start working now and develop the YouTube video site tomorrow.

After the pre-war mobilization was completed, work began.

The puppy also returned to the second floor of the company, and he had his own work to do.

And more than a dozen employees in charge of video website development were all called into the conference room by Xia Jingxing.

He opened the PPT that he had prepared from memory in the past few days, and began to explain YouTube's website design, functional logic, implementation path, etc. to employees.

Employees take notes and ask questions from time to time.

When someone asked a question, Xia Jingxing stopped the introduction and patiently answered and explained the questions of each employee.

It took a few days to sort out all the functions and requirements, and the development of the website finally entered the right track.

Genius for a second to remember the address of this site: . Mobile version reading website:
