Top of the big era

The war for talent is always a topic in Silicon Valley, and now there are big data statistics. For example, LinkedIn, a recruitment platform in which Zhou Buqi participated in investment, has similar statistics.

The flow of outstanding talents is directly proportional to the future market value of the company.

This is not the same as the situation in China.

Domestic IT companies also have extremely high demand for talents, but there are many domestic talents and the choices are wider. Moreover, most scientific research projects are not too cutting-edge, which lowers the threshold.

Zhou Buqi found Xu Liangjie and planned to talk about it.

Xu Liangjie thought he was going to consult about the development of Yahoo App, and said with a smile: "It's very good, the initial strategy was quite successful. After increasing the scale of launch, the popularity of Yahoo App has increased significantly, and the number of registered users has exceeded 55 million. Zheng Xiaoli didn’t even return to China during the Spring Festival, but my wife invited her to spend it together at my house.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, I looked at Yahoo's data. When summer comes, new mobile phones from major mobile phone manufacturers will be released, and the pre-installed Yahoo App should have a greater development."

Xu Liangjie smiled and said: "Yahoo App is a mobile product. In this field, Ziweixing International has accumulated the strongest operating experience and product concepts in the world. Silicon Valley giants such as Google, Microsoft, and Facebook are all trying their best to learn from us. While poaching people.”

Zhou Buqi's heart skipped a beat, "How's it going? Have you poached it?"

Xu Liangjie said: "This is inevitable. This is the United States after all, and the situation at home is different. Ziweixing is considered a clean stream in the country, with the highest salary level, and Ziweixing's options are tied up. With ideals, There are also benefits. It’s very difficult for other companies to recruit people from Ziweixing. But it’s very difficult here.”

Zhou Buqi frowned slightly, "I heard that the competition for talents is very fierce now!"

Xu Liangjie said: "It mainly depends on a few aspects, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, mobile games, and mobile Internet. There is nothing we can do about it. There are too many companies and there are only so many outstanding graduates. Especially Microsoft and Google Technology giants such as Amazon, Facebook and others who are transforming to the mobile Internet are robbing people at all costs in order to succeed in the transformation."

"What about us?"

"We are much better here. We have been laying out the business for so many years. It is no exaggeration to say that we have the largest talent pool in the mobile Internet field."

“We must not fall behind when it comes to robbing people!”

Zhou Buqi entered the market early and cultivated the first batch of middle and high-level people who are familiar with mobile Internet. These are the core assets of Ziweixing International.

Only with the existence of these people can many of Ziweixing International's mobile products gain great recognition in the market.

But the market changes too fast.

Never rest on your laurels.

Xu Liangjie nodded, "Except for a few exceptionally outstanding geniuses, for the vast majority of young people, profit is the first choice when choosing a career. After all, from the perspective of career planning, whether to join Microsoft, Google, Amazon, or Ziweixing, in fact, There won’t be much difference.”

Zhou Buqi said: "If we have a leading advantage, we must maintain it. In the competition for talents, we cannot be worse than other companies."

"Huh?" Xu Liangjie heard what he meant, "Competing with companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon for talents?"

"why not?"

Zhou Buqi asked back.

Xu Liangjie nodded, "Recruitment of talents actually involves two aspects, one is ideals, and the other is interests. For most people, interests are still the main priority."

Zhou Buqi said: "It's normal. You can't stand and talk without backache like many people do, saying that contemporary young people are egoistic and lack the courage and ideals of their ancestors. In this era, there is no shortage of idealism. People, but first there must be guarantees of interests. Solve personal life needs first, and then talk about long-term big business. If you want the horse to run, you must let the horse be fed."

Just like football.

Football in Brazil is great because Brazil is so bad. There is no difference in life between those who fail to play football and those who don't. But once you succeed in playing football, your destiny changes.

Football in Europe, South Korea and Japan is great because the country's social security is good enough, social pressure is low, and there are many employment opportunities. If you fail to play football...failure is a failure. It will not affect your future life development at all. Your life is no different from other people's. the difference.

Regardless of whether it is a poor country or a rich country, there is a similar logic, that is, if you fail to play football, you can still get the same living conditions as other people who do not play football.

This is not possible in China.

It would be a disaster if the kick didn't come out. Those who delay their studies due to playing football will be separated by a long distance from those who do not play football. Social security is lacking, employment pressure is huge, and the future will become very bleak.

Think about defeat before thinking about victory.

If we want to cultivate children who are successful in playing football in China, we must first solve the future life development path of those children who are unsuccessful in playing football. This has become an unavoidable dilemma.

The same is true here in the United States. When young people choose a career, they must first improve their personal quality of life. After you have basic protection for your personal life, you can then pursue greater ideal goals.

Even Steve Jobs was the same. He first found a company to work in to meet his basic living needs.

While working part-time, I was working on Apple computers.

When his computer sales business improved, he chose to resign and officially start his own business.

Xu Liangjie said solemnly: "If we want to participate in the war for talents, the recruitment cost will increase greatly. Is it really necessary?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi was slightly startled, "Talents, why don't you need them?"

Xu Liangjie said: "We only need to give the most money and the best conditions to the top talents. As for ordinary mid-range engineers, is it really necessary to spend so much on them? Such mid-level engineers For top-level fresh graduates, the salary here in Silicon Valley is as high as US$80,000 per year. In China, the annual salary of US$20,000 is basically about the same.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "The truth is this, but you can't go to such an extreme... Not every genius can succeed, and not every mid-level talent has no chance to grow into a top scientist in the industry. In the past few years, Isn’t that how we came here? We also recruited a lot of mid-range employees. Looking at it now, isn’t it quite successful?”

Xu Liangjie sighed, "The current labor costs have doubled."

Zhou Buqi said resolutely: "There is nothing we can do about it. We are standing still, but Microsoft, Google, and Facebook are all transforming in the direction of mobile Internet regardless of the cost. Here in Silicon Valley, we cannot fall behind, at least in the It has established a front-line competitiveness brand for Ziweixing International in the industry’s recognition.”

"Then go and steal people from them?"

"Rob!"
