Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 656 YouTube and Facebook

On the third day after arriving in New York, Chen Li met Xu Xing, who was very busy recently, in the hotel.

Xu Xing has been very busy recently, it can be said that he has become a trapeze artist.

In the morning, she was still in Yanjing to discuss things with Chen Li. In the afternoon, she had to go to Shanghai to help Chen Qiao match up. In the evening, she had to go to Rongcheng, where the panda QQ was still waiting for her.

And the most exaggerated thing is that even after finishing the business in Rongcheng, Xu Xing still couldn't rest. In the middle of the night, she got on the flight to America again.

In the words of Sister Xu ~ now she is simply acting like a cow to Chen Li.

Of course~ this is actually a joke, because the person who wants Xu Xing to take a good rest the most is actually Chen Li, the boss.

Chen Li didn't want the talents he had painstakingly recruited to fall ill because of these things.

But Xu Xing couldn't rest at all.To be precise, it's not that she can't be idle, but that she has a lot of energy in her heart.

In the previous investment company, Xu Xing was angered a lot, and in the end Chen Li was able to successfully poach her~ It was precisely because of this reason.

Also because of the anger ~ Sister Xu has been holding back her energy, she must make some achievements, so that her old club will regret their decision.

To be honest~ This kind of behavior looks childish, but in fact this is the psychological reaction of normal people.

The kind of person who doesn't change his face when Mount Tai collapses in front of him. In fact, there will not be one person in many years.

"How does your resume look? Do you think it's suitable?"

Holding a cup of coffee in his hand, Xu Xing looked at the young boss in front of him and said.

Speaking of it~ She and Chen Li knew each other, but in fact it was thanks to her old club.

At that time Xu Xing was very optimistic about the young man in front of her, but she never thought that this young man would become her boss in the end.

Of course, what surprised Xu Xing the most was the speed at which Chen Li's career developed.

As a partner in the past, although she knew that Chen Li was developing very well, she didn't know that accurately.

Now that she has become her own person, she has a more detailed understanding of Chen Li's career map, but the more detailed, the more shocked she is.

You know. It is less than three years since Chen Li started his business!

Even counting Chen Li's previous experience in opening a barbecue restaurant, it took less than four years.This amount of time is not enough for some entrepreneurs to do a good job in a business. As a result, Chen Li's side has blossomed everywhere.

In fact, the reason why Xu Xing agreed to come to help Chen Li was because of this consideration.

Chen Li's development was really smooth, Xu Xing also wanted to give Chen Li a ride.

And the fact is exactly the same, except that Xu Xing originally thought that Chen Li was just a small car going down the road, but he didn't expect it to be a luxury business car.

And the most important thing is that Chen Li, the young boss, still trusts her very much, just because of this. Xu Xing is willing to be Chen Li's cow.

"The resume thing~ is actually just a threshold."

"I only care about whether they can make what I want~!"

Chen Li put down the last resume in his hand, which was the result of Xu Xing's time in the United States.

"Okay~ You are the boss, you have the final say."

"Would you like to meet them now?"

"Of course I will. If not, why should I call them to New York?"

"Haha~ okay, which team will you meet first?"

"youtube or facebook?"

"Well~ Let's meet the YouTube team first~ I'll chat with them first."

Chen Li picked up the teacup at hand and found that the tea in the cup was a little cold, but he still took a sip and lit a cigarette for himself.

Over there, Xu Xing left the living room to hand over to YouTube's R&D team, and Zhang Ruolan, who had been waiting outside, came in and helped Chen Li change the tea~ and sorted out the various resumes and documents that Chen Li had messed up. some.

"Stay and listen for a while."

"In the future, the work communication here~ I guess I have to leave it to you."

"However~ You may have to study English after you go back."

Chen Li leaned on the back of the chair, looked at his assistant and said.

To be honest~ A year ago, Chen Li was still happy to have Zhang Ruolan, an experienced assistant, but after a year, Zhang Ruolan actually couldn't keep up with him.

Take these two trips abroad as an example~ In fact, Zhang Ruolan can give Chen Li very little help, and sometimes Chen Li has to turn to help Zhang Ruolan as an assistant.

There is no way~ When Chen Li recruited Zhang Ruolan as his assistant, he never imagined that his career would advance so quickly.

Especially after finding Xu Xing, many ideas that were only in Chen Li's mind before were realized one by one.

Even because of Xu Xing's joining, Chen Li's development speed, which was already running wild, was directly plugged in with a wing.

For example, the R&D teams of YouTube and Facebook that he will meet soon.

That's right~ it was the famous video platform and Facebook later.

According to the trajectory of the previous life, in fact, if you want to wait for these two Internet companies to appear, at least you have to wait for several years.

So at the beginning~ what Chen Li actually wanted was to invest in these two companies as soon as they appeared a few years later.

But one time~ when Chen Li and Xu Xing were talking about investment, Chen Li asked Xu Xing a question.

"Sister Xu~ If I hate a person, but I want to invest in his company, what should I do?"

Originally, Chen Li wanted to hear the opinion of Xu Xing, who will be called the investment queen in the future, but Xu Xing told him directly.
"Don't vote!"

"You don't even like that person, so why invest in his company?"

"Perhaps you are very optimistic about his company, but there are so many good companies in the world, why make yourself unhappy?"

"And the most important thing is that we invest in a partnership where 1+1 is greater than 2."

"But since you hate him, it means that your future cooperation will probably cause problems in the relationship between the two parties."

"In this way~ Not only can 1+1 not be greater than 2, it may even be less than the standard answer."

"This kind of investment~ In my opinion, it is actually meaningless."

"Perhaps you can restrain your temper, just for the profit you earn in the end, but in that case~ the person you hate also earns money?"

"Like you said, you hate this guy so why are you helping him succeed?"

"He succeeded in making money, don't you feel bad?"

I have to say ~ just these few words ~ made Chen Li feel that he was really doing the right thing about digging up Xu Xing.

But Xu Xing didn't know that even without Chen Li's involvement, that person would have achieved success. Chen Li's involvement in the past was actually equivalent to taking away the other party's interests in disguise.

It's just that Chen Li couldn't explain these words clearly to Xu Xing, after all, it was impossible for him to tell others about his rebirth.

Just when Chen Lixiang was thinking about how to put it another way and asked, Xu Xing changed the subject and said directly:
"Does that person you hate have to exist?"

When Chen Li heard this sentence, he didn't understand Xu Xing's meaning for a while. Fortunately, Xu Xing gave an accurate explanation soon.

"You are optimistic about that company~ or what the guy you hate is doing, right?"

"Then there is a problem here, how much effect can this person you hate have on the company you want to invest in or the thing he is doing?"

"Is it indispensable ~ or is it dispensable?"

"If the importance is not too strong, we can try to drive him out of this company or this industry."

"If he is very important~ then I advise you not to think about this company."

"But if you're really bullish on that industry, why don't you try to start one of those companies yourself?"

To be honest~ Chen Li always felt that the so-called enlightenment was somewhat exaggerated.

But this time, Chen Li really felt what it means to be enlightened.

I have to say ~ Sister Xu is really professional in investing.Compared with Chen Li, who only wants to find the original team to earn some shares, he is not at the same level at all.

That's right~ Before chatting with Xu Xing this time, Chen Li always wanted to wait until the corresponding company appeared before investing in this company.

The reason for such thoughts~ is mainly because Chen Li feels that some things may not be done well by himself.

It's not just that I can't do it well~ It's possible that someone else can't do it well.

But in fact, because of Chen Li's appearance, this world has long been different from the world Chen Li remembered in his previous life.

He~Chen Li, has long since unknowingly changed the world to a considerable extent.

This actually proves one thing, even if it does not follow the trajectory of the previous life ~ some things can actually develop very well.

For example, hao123, which was originally supposed to be a website navigation created by a network administrator, has definitely far surpassed its development efficiency in its previous life after changing to Chen Li as the boss.

The same~ There is also Red Horse Technology, there is no such company in the original world.

However, under the influence of Chen Li, it directly led to the combination of Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi, and now Red Horse Technology is about to go public.

As far as the time point of 2001 is concerned, whether it is Ma Xiaoyun or Zhou Hongyi, their development trajectory is far better than that of their previous life at this time point.

So here comes the question~ If there is no lizard man, what kind of changes will happen to the development of Facebook?

There must be only two answers~ Either get better or get worse!

Then think about it again, the importance of that lizardman~ to Facebook. Is it really that big?

The answer is yes!At least in the early days~ The importance of that lizardman to Facebook is absolutely beyond doubt.

Not to mention anything else~ Just saying that he rejected Yahu's $10 billion acquisition of Facebook is enough to reflect his contribution to Facebook.

So before this, Chen Li hadn't thought of anything else, he just thought that when Facebook appeared, he would go directly to take money to knock that guy unconscious, and by the way, give some of the benefits that should have belonged to the lizard people to him. separate.

But after hearing Xu Xing's words, Chen Li thought about it carefully and suddenly found out that the lizard man's contribution to Facebook seemed not that great anymore.

It's not that that guy is not very important to Facebook, but that this guy was originally important to Facebook. After Chen Li's rebirth, many things have become less important.

First of all~ Chen Li will definitely not sell Facebook to others easily, unless there are force majeure factors, let alone 10 billion dollars~ he will not sell even if you add 0.

In addition~ if Chen Li did it himself, many things would be much easier than the guy in his previous life who started Facebook.

For example, the biggest crisis in the early stage of Facebook. Funding issues.

With this in mind, Chen Li can increase Facebook's success rate by many, many percentage points.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons Chen Li considered, there are other factors such as technology~environment and many other factors.

Then Chen Li finally made a decision, so Xu Xing came to the United States ahead of schedule, and started to pull up two teams.

That's right~ the two teams, because after Chen Li made the decision, he didn't hesitate~ so he directly dumped youtube and facebook.

Because at this time, Chen Li suddenly had a realization that he... is now a mature boss!

In fact, he only needs to give accurate ideas ~ and then only need to hand over the specific matters to the relevant professional people to be responsible.

And he~as the boss, only needs to take the helm for the general direction of the enterprise~control the direction well.

So ~ this time, Chen Li directly launched two projects!
Chen Li allocated 1000 million US dollars of start-up capital for each project, even in the United States ~ such a wealthy start-up capital is actually not very common.

Yes~ In fact, this is the real reason why Chen Li would rather give up going back to his hometown for the Spring Festival and come to America this time.

"Okay ~ Boss!"

"After I go back~ I will enroll in a refresher class."

Zhang Ruolan nodded, moved a chair and sat behind Chen Li.

During these two business trips, Zhang Ruolan also felt some problems, not to mention anything else~ Just a basic language problem made Zhang Ruolan feel the gap.

As a former gold medal assistant ~ Zhang Ruolan actually knows some English, but because there were few opportunities to use English before, Zhang Ruolan's English level is actually very poor.

Moreover, Chen Li's development speed was too fast, so fast that she, a gold medal assistant, had no time to improve herself.

"Well~ I can't help it, I don't have anyone around me right now."

"So I can only work hard for you to recharge the battery yourself in your free time!"

"Well~ so, you find a better private teacher, and the company will reimburse you for the tuition."

"Forget it~ Don't look for it, I will find a professor I know at the University of Foreign Studies and introduce it to you."

"I'll find you another part-time senior in the English department~ She doesn't have to do other jobs, the only requirement is to communicate with you and my cousin in English."

"In this way~ I guess it won't be long before your English level should improve a lot."

Chen Li's cousin is also Chen Li's assistant now, but Chen Li didn't bring her with him on this trip abroad.

And considering that my career may involve overseas in the future, some things need to be considered in advance.

"Okay ~ Boss!"

Zhang Ruolan nodded again, and at this moment there was a knock on the door, and then Xu Xing pushed the door in, followed by five young people.

"This is your boss!"
