Rebirth 2003: Dominate the Tech World

At the auction, Ye Yunzhou’s father was so excited that his face turned red. He didn’t expect that a piece of stone could be sold at a sky-high price of 110 million.

On the way here, Ye Yunzhou said that this rough stone could be sold at least 80 million. At that time, his father laughed at him and said it was impossible?

Ye Yunzhou’s mother looked at him, and the sense of pride almost overflowed. In her eyes, what her son had done in the past few months was incredible and incredibly successful.

“Dr. Lu, Cambrian Company will not be short of funds for the time being.” Ye Yunzhou looked at Lu Qi next to him and said.

Although they are superiors and subordinates in the company and can call him Lu Qi directly, Ye Yunzhou usually calls him Dr. Lu outside to show respect.

Lu Qi was also a little excited. To be honest, his estimate was 50 to 60 million, and he didn’t expect it to be sold so high.

“Well, with these funds, we can hold on until the company is profitable. For the time being, we don’t have to consider raising funds at all. We will introduce investors when we are ready to go public in the future.” Lu Qi said excitedly.

After deducting the auction house’s commission and paying various taxes, this auction still has more than 90 million in the account. Together with the 50 million mortgaged with the Origin Building and the 50 million in the original company account, Cambrian now has more than 190 million in funds in its account, so it will not be short of money in the short term.

A few days later, the headhunting company called him. They screened hundreds of resumes and sent them to Ye Yunzhou.

When Ye Yunzhou designed the management structure of Alphabet, the basic principle he followed was to ensure efficient operation and rapid response to market changes, so he had high requirements for core team members.

In the early stage, it is very important to keep the organizational structure flat. This means reducing the management level so that information and decisions can be transmitted faster. This structure encourages direct communication and collaboration between team members, which helps to speed up product development and market adaptation.

So when considering the core team, Ye Yunzhou wanted to build a diversified founding team covering key areas such as technology, products, design, marketing and operations.

His idea is that each member should be an expert in their field and be able to take on responsibilities independently, and also be willing to work across fields when necessary.

Unfortunately, Daxia is now in serious shortage of high-end Internet talents. Ye Yunzhou felt that it was luck that he accidentally assembled the core team of Cambrian.

Ye Yunzhou took the resumes sent by the headhunting company and looked at them one by one. These resumes were carefully screened by the headhunting company. The ones that came to him were indeed good, but they always felt a little short of the core team.

Ye Yunzhou carefully compared them and left about 60 resumes after another screening. He personally sent emails to these people using the Alphabet email address, inviting them to interview at the Alphabet headquarters the day after tomorrow, that is, August 10.

For this interview, Ye Yunzhou also invited Cambrian’s Chief Human Resources Officer Li Mi and Financial Director Gu Xiaoou to help.

Time soon came to August 10, at 9 o’clock in the morning, Ye Yunzhou, Li Mi, and Gu Xiaoou gathered at the Yanjing Science and Technology Building. They came to interview others today.

For Li Mi and Gu Xiaoou, they were full of curiosity about Ye Yunzhou’s new company, and at the same time they were amazed at Ye Yunzhou’s ambition.

For many people, it is very, very proud to be able to create a company like Cambrian in their lifetime, but for Ye Yunzhou, it seems that there is no sense of pride, and sometimes it even feels that he doesn’t care much about Cambrian.

The time for this interview is scheduled at 10 o’clock in the morning.

At 9:30, the interviewees arrived one after another.

The interview process and the skills and requirements of the required positions, as well as the company culture and values, were all designed by Ye Yunzhou himself, and were given to Li Mi and Gu Xiaoou yesterday.

Of course, the series of questions he prepared to evaluate the skills, experience and compatibility of candidates with the company culture were also printed out through the printer, and everyone had a copy.

The first person to be interviewed was the financial director. There were a total of 5 people who participated in the financial director interview today.

Since Ye Yunzhou did not have much knowledge of financial expertise, Gu Xiaoou and Li Mi asked professional questions. Ye Yunzhou asked some questions about communication and coordination and company compatibility from time to time.

After the interview, the first two candidates were of average ability, and they could be ordinary financial staff, but they were obviously not capable enough to be a financial director.

The third candidate was barely usable, but did not perform amazingly.

Until the fourth candidate, Ye Yunzhou gave full marks for her on-the-spot performance. Even Gu Xiaoou did not stump her in terms of professional knowledge, so she was also given full marks for professional knowledge.

Just fits the company cultureThe degree may be a little worse, because she used to work in an investment company.

However, Ye Yunzhou is very satisfied with this girl who has a bachelor’s degree from Renmin University, a master’s degree from the National University of Singapore, and three years of work experience in an investment company.

“Ms. Su Qing, if the company accepts you, how long will it take to get the job?”

Su Qing’s eyes lit up, knowing that the boss was probably satisfied with her performance when asking this question.

Su Qing worked well in an investment company in Singapore before, and if it weren’t for family reasons, she would not have returned to Yanjing.

After returning, she has not found a good job. This time, she was contacted by a headhunting company and was invited to interview at this startup.

At first, she was very entangled in whether to come, until she knew that the founder of this startup was the founder of Cambrian, she came without hesitation.

In fact, many people who came for the interview today came because Ye Yunzhou was the founder of Cambrian, because Cambrian’s “Trading Treasure” is known as the world’s most powerful online payment software, hackers all over the world have no way in front of it, and its popularity is simply invincible in Daxia.

Now, Jianbao.com is competing fiercely with eBay in Daxia, and its rapid growth rate has amazed industry insiders. It is expected that by the end of August, Jianbao.com will surpass eBay and become the largest e-commerce platform in Daxia.

……

“I can start work at any time.” Su Qing said firmly.

“Okay, you are accepted. Come to work tomorrow.”

“……”

Ye Yunzhou did not play the routine of going back and waiting for notification. As a startup company, the fewer routines, the more successful it is. Now is the time to race against time. The earlier the product is launched, the earlier it can occupy the market.

The fifth is also a girl. She graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University. Her professional knowledge is beyond doubt, but her communication skills, teamwork skills and leadership potential are much worse than Su Qing’s. Moreover, she only anchored the position of financial director. When Ye Yunzhou asked her if she was willing to work as an ordinary financial staff in the company first, she directly refused, so it can only be said that Alphabet Company has no chance with her.

After the financial director was confirmed, the next step was the interview with the human resources director.

As the chief talent officer of Cambrian, Li Mi is an expert in this area.

Therefore, he will basically ask professional questions, while Ye Yunzhou and Gu Xiaoou will ask some on-the-spot reactions and company coordination and cooperation issues.

After interviewing 5 people, the final candidate was determined.

Zhao Man, female, 32 years old this year, undergraduate of Wuhan University, graduate of Fudan University, has seven years of work experience and four years of human resources management experience. She was already a middle-level manager in the previous company. Now she can come to Ye Yunzhou’s start-up company, which makes Ye Yunzhou a little incredible.

Finally, when he asked the reason, he found out that she came for Ye Yunzhou, the founder of Cambrian.

Ye Yunzhou gave her a thumbs up in his heart, feeling that her choice was very correct. Of course, following the right person is more important than anything else. As a time traveler, he is naturally the right person.

After the financial director and the human resources director confirmed, the next one is one of the most important positions, the head of the marketing department.

There are eight people who came to apply for this position today.

After the first five applications, Ye Yunzhou was not satisfied with any of them.

Especially the fifth one, who started to talk about how powerful he was and how he could sell combs to monks. When Ye Yunzhou asked him why he sold combs to monks who didn’t need combs, the man stammered and talked about irrelevant things. In the end, Ye Yunzhou could only interrupt him and let him go back and wait for notification.

Ye Yunzhou understood that the best marketing should be to sell the best products to those who need them most, rather than to trick others into buying something useless, which would only ruin their own brand.
