The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 178 Brian's election

Ocean Park Avenue, Twitter Building.

These days, people come and go at the company's doorstep, and applicants come and come in a constant stream.

Guanghui International recommended five supervisor candidates, Hawke selected two of them, and Jet Brown carried out targeted jobs.

Ordinary programmers and architects are basically recruited by Twitter itself.

Hawke rejected the Indians and had no specific requirements for other ethnic groups or genders. As long as their conditions are appropriate, Twitter will give them a chance to show their strengths.

After several days of recruitment, more than a dozen employees joined the company.

More than two-thirds of them are male employees, and only a small number of women are, which is in line with the normal company development laws.

As we all know, it is not a good thing that there are too many female employees in a company, especially in the office.

Of course, there are also excellent people among the female employees.

At Monday's meeting, the technical department director Haaland specifically mentioned one thing: "One of our newly recruited female employee, Bella Sain, who has worked in Silicon Valley, provides a new algorithm for user interaction, efficiency Possible to increase by 10 percentage points.

Hawke asked, “Is it practical?”

"We are verifying that she is very capable and has unique creativity," Haaland said.

"We'll go and have a look after the meeting," Hawke said directly. "You tell her that if it works, neither the bonus nor the promotion will be a problem."

After today's meeting, Caroline will take her assistants to the overseas English-speaking market.

Hawke also said a few more words to her.

At the end of the meeting, he followed Haaland to the technical department.

Qasim is leading people to test the new algorithm.

Haaland introduced Hawke to the employee who developed the new algorithm: "This is Bella Sain, who joined the company last week."

Bella was serious, just nodding to Hawke and said politely, "Hello, boss."

"Hello." Hawke looked at her slightly.

This should be a Latino mixed race, with a whiter complexion than ordinary Mexicans. It can be said to be beautiful against the backdrop of a group of greasy programmers in the technical department.

It's quite similar to Jessica Alba.

Hawke swept his face and focused on something else: "Is the new algorithm feasible?"

Qasim and Haaland did not steal the credit and asked Bella to reply.

Bella pushed down her glasses and looked extremely serious: "There are several aspects that are not yet perfect and need further optimization."

Hawke nodded.

Bella didn't say anything more and became busy sitting at the station next to her.

Hawke went to the director's office again and chatted with Haaland and Qasim.

When I came out, I looked at Bella.

Bella sat in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard with all her concentration, and a string of codes appeared on the computer screen.

Hawke didn't understand the code and quickly left the technical department.

He went to the personnel department and asked Bella to read the information. A top student who graduated from Stanford University used to work in Silicon Valley. His company has encountered difficulties since its entry into 2003, and people's hearts have been relatively fluctuating. Many people have left their jobs and seek new ways out.

Bella is one of them.

All these are normal. When people seek jobs and jobs, the primary factor is money.

Drawing big cakes cannot satisfy your hunger.

In the afternoon, Hawke received a call from Brian and asked him to go out for a drink in the evening.

The two of them made an appointment at 7:30.

Hawke came out of the office a little late, turned out of the elevator and met a few people from the technical department working overtime.

Qasim greeted Hawk and continued to discuss technical issues with others.

There are two new employees among them, one of which is Bella Sain.

She focused on technical discussions and was discussing the feasibility of another algorithm with Qasim.

Most of these pure technicians nodded when they saw the boss Hawke or said hello casually.

Hawke didn't bother them, and went out and drove into the Mercedes-Benz and went to the bar that Brian said.

This is a clearing bar, located among a group of high-rise buildings in downtown Los Angeles.

By the time Hawke arrived, Brian had already asked for a bottle of tequila.

He poured Hawke wine and said, "The Twitter you made in the past two months has been very popular on the Internet."

Hawke told the truth: "Without your support, it wouldn't be so smooth. Maybe a big guy came to grab the cake a month ago."

Brian clinked glasses with Hawke: "Give you a toast to you, Mr. Billionaire of the future."

Hawke drank a drink and said, "Now they are just burning money crazy, and there are almost no inputs."

"Where is advertising?" Brian knew a little bit about business.

"It has not been officially opened yet. It is not beneficial to attract users now, cultivate user stickiness, and do commercial operations too early."

Brian understood as soon as he heard it: "To introduce new investors?" "This is inevitable." If social media wants to develop, it needs to burn money in the early stage, and Hawke and Twitter now cannot withstand it.

He also needs to cash in appropriate amounts.

"It's a pity that my goal is in politics," Brian said.

Hawke said earnestly: "I'm waiting to collude with you officials and businessmen and use your traditional skills."

"I know, you are best at high-end business wars." The last time the two collaborated, Brian experienced it with since his search for Hawk this time, and the same was true for him: "Do you remember the thing I mentioned to you last year?"

Hawke said sarcastic words in a serious tone: "Are you doing AIDS testing?"

"Hey, man!" Brian chugged his fingers and knocked on the table, and his words were deviated: "Do you **** know? I haven't gone out to find a woman for five months!"

Speaking of this, he was angry: "Do you know how I came here in the past five months?"

Hawke nodded: "I was wrong, man! Just before I came in, I was across the road and saw a shop selling adult products. After drinking later, you go buy a plane cup..."

Brian still stared at him.

"Okay, I'll pay for the money." Hawke said deliberately: "It is said that there are dolls to sell."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

"I don't need those things," Brian stressed.

But Hawke said, "No, you need it." He knew what Brian was going to say, "Next you have to prepare for Mayor Kovina, right? Stop messing with women, be careful that the other party will make a trap for you, If you get a little **** scandal, you're done."

"I thought you forgot, what we said last year, you can help me run for Mayor of Kovina." Brian didn't think about letting Hawke work, and knew how to make Hawke's brains clear. : "At the beginning of this year, I didn't touch the family's dividends after I got it, just to pay your high salary."

Hawke said frankly: "I will contribute to your money, it's fair."

Brian nodded and said solemnly: "As far as I know, Sacramento's assistant governor's office has sent people to Los Angeles. The main purpose of this time is to run for the mayoral campaign in Cowena."

He said in more detail: "Los Angeles has always been a deep blue. The mayors of various satellite cities have almost all belonged to the Blue Party over the years. My campaign this time is also to break the lifeless situation in Los Angeles. But the Blue Party will not give up easily, the last time The Sacramento we made has been very passive, which led to Governor Gray Davis almost certainly entering the recall election…”

Hawke asked, "His opponent is Arnold Schwarzenegger?"

Brian replied: "The removal is passed, Schwarzenegger comes to power, and if it fails, the governor will still be Davis."

He continued: "The people sent by Sacramento this time are mainly to mess with me, not only to stop me from running, but also to get back the face of the last failure. Those guys may use simple and rough methods just like ours last time."

Hawke laughed, "Then you need an artificial doll more."

"No, what I need is you." Brian quickly picked up the bottle and poured Hawke a glass of wine: "If we mess up the matter, they will mess up the matter by messing up the matter, without you help I gave advice, but I didn't feel safe at all."

Hawke thought of the bad things he had done and dared not underestimate himself: "I guess I will become the target of revenge, and it seems that I must be careful too."

But Brian said, "I'm the shield in front, they should be **** me first."

Hawke thought for a while and said, "These must be entangled with your campaign in Kovina. You can sort out the information related to Kovina's campaign, the more detailed the better. Give me a copy as soon as possible."

Brian took a sip of wine and said, "Yes."

Hawke said, "Let the bodyguard follow you 24 hours a day, don't be killed by others."

"There is a team of people who always follow me." Bryan specifically reminded: "Be careful, don't be fooled."

The wine didn't last long, and I didn't even have a third of the bottle of tequila.

Brian prepared quite well, and the next morning, he sent the detailed information to Hawke's office.

Hawke was not very busy, so he took time to carefully look through the information sent by Brian.

Brian's direct competitor is called Irving Nester, the current mayor of Cowenner and a member of the Blue Party, who has been re-elected for two terms.

Different cities in the United States have different management methods. Some places belong to the mayor's manager system. The mayor is appointed by the council, which is more symbolic.

Some towns simply hire cats or dogs as mayors, as they are mascots anyway.

Los Angeles implements a mayor-parliamentary system, and mayors are elected.

Kovinner is generally the same as Los Angeles, but there are differences in some places.

For example, if you live in a town for three years, you can participate in the election.

Adults who have lived for two years and are over 18 years old have the right to vote.

Similar elections will promote voters to enhance their image and belittle their opponents.

Hawke had little thought, and focused on belittling his opponent.

He took a pen and circled the key content on the information.

Second floor, Technical Department.

Someone is still here to interview today.

As interviewers, Haaland and Qasim went to preside over the interview.

This involves too many technical issues.

In the office of the technical department, every coder is busy with the work at hand.

Bella Sain, who was typing on the keyboard, stopped.

She unplugged the USB drive plugged in the computer, temporarily locked the desktop, got up and went to the bathroom.

Bella entered the compartment, took out the perfume specially prepared in her bag, and sprayed some on her body.

These have aphrodisiac effects.
