Chapter 1446 Regrets

"Mike, your concerns are certainly justified," Feng Yiping knocked on the table with his hand, "but I don't think Zach and the others' suggestions cannot be adopted,"

Zuckerberg and Saverin's eyes immediately lit up.

“Even as a layman, I don’t agree with the description of hackers in some media. They are not all evil-doers. On the contrary, I think they are idealists with outstanding technology and hope to make positive contributions to the world. ,"

After hearing this, Zuckerberg wanted to applaud, and Mike also felt very sad.

"From the company's perspective, I believe that this will definitely be liked by many engineers. Come on, Mike, from a programmer's perspective, don't you like this idea?"

Mike glanced at the two men and smiled, "Yes, but...,"

"As for your concerns, I think they can be easily transformed. Think about it, if it were possible and we recruited the world's top hackers, do you think users would believe that their data is more secure or less secure?"

Mike was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "That's naturally safer,"

"Right, so this is not a problem," Feng Yiping smiled, "No," he stopped Zuckerberg who wanted to speak, "If we really hire all the top hackers to our company, if we can really do it , users must feel safe, but I am afraid that some government departments may think we are not safe enough,”

Zuckerberg was stunned at first, and then smiled. From the company's perspective, what Feng Yiping said is naturally right.

Although some of them are not necessarily or certainly not voluntary, the U.S. government departments are the ones that hire the most hackers, and many well-known hackers are working for the U.S. military and intelligence agencies.

Feng Yiping is even more aware that the U.S. government can be said to be the largest hacker organization in the world. It steals information all over the world, from governments to individuals, and does not let anyone go.

"So, I think Zach's proposal is completely feasible within the company. We regularly hold some hackathons. I think this is at least a useful attempt to improve everyone's technical level and team building,"

But his next sentence revealed his deeper intention, "Everyone gathers together, chooses a direction freely, and converts any idea into lines of code. This is a deeper and more intense confrontation than brainstorming. Collision can not only broaden our vision of product forms, but who can guarantee that some good ideas will be conceived or produced in this process?”

"We all know that for the sake of interest, we can all burst out with greater enthusiasm, don't we?"

Work is work, and there will always be many tangible and intangible framework constraints. However, like the hackathon proposed by Zuckerberg, everyone is only responsible for their own interests, which is equivalent to being in a place surrounded by like-minded people. A playground full of your favorite games, and this playground can be built according to your will... This is definitely a carnival that unleashes your imagination.

"I agree," Mike had nothing more to say.

Zuckerberg once again felt the gap between him and Feng Yiping. It was very simple. One was at the tactical level and the other was at the strategic level.

Of course, he and Saverin were still very happy. After all, this was their first suggestion after joining Facebook. Feng Yiping's analysis actually improved the value of their suggestion.

But the benefits don't end there.

"Another issue mentioned by Zach and the others is also very important, and that is the issue of security. As our registered users continue to increase, it is conceivable that, haha, we will probably become the target of attacks by some people, so, Mike, I think making Zach our chief information security officer is a very good choice, what do you think?" Feng Yiping asked Mike.

"I completely agree," Mike said. That's why he supported Feng Yiping unconditionally from the beginning.

"Congratulations Zuckerberg," Mike smiled as he shook Zuckerberg's hand.

"Thank you," Zuckerberg stood up in confusion.

Because of Feng Yiping's censorship, this time, he obviously cannot become the most dazzling entrepreneurial star, and his mentality will naturally be very different. The butt determines the stance.

Just a few days after joining the company, he became the chief executive. This company is not just a small company, but a company owned by the youngest super-rich man in the world, and everyone is optimistic about its future. And this chief executive is also a core company. Chief of Department.

It feels like a particularly big and delicious pie falls from the sky on the head of a person who is worried about food and livelihood. No, it should be a restaurant that continuously provides such pies. The 20-year-old classmate Xiao Zha was not happy at this time, but ecstatic.

He had the ecstasy of meeting a close friend, meeting Bole, and the ecstasy of achieving an achievement so quickly that would make his family and mentors who had always doubted him be stunned.

If I'm being superficial, this current title definitely supports his return home in glory.

"Thank you Feng," he shook hands with Feng Yiping in a trembling voice, and then hugged the equally excited Saverin in front of Feng Yiping and Mike.

This was the third time Feng Yiping shook hands with him after meeting, "You can form your own team, and you will be fully responsible for organizing the company's hackathon. Do your best."

"No problem, I will make our company a castle that those people can't conquer," Zuckerberg said.

Still young, a little too crazy.

But, it’s understandable.

"You know, all our companies actually have such problems, so do your best," Feng Yiping was still worried that this guy would be dissatisfied and continued to paint him a big pie.

Although it is said that this will make Zuckerberg the CEO, Feng Yiping also believes that under his supervision, Facebook will definitely develop better than before. However, just like Yang Zhiyuan intends to make Feng Yiping the CEO of Yahoo, once he comes , letting a non-founder serve as the company's CEO will not only cause a sensation, but may not generate more positive reactions.

Secondly, I am afraid that it will really make Zuckerberg feel that Feng Yiping really feels that he owes him a lot - which is obviously not good.

Giving him an attractive position to keep him, and then slowly promoting him step by step based on his performance, is the safest approach.

"So Saverin, what do you think of your current job?" After taking care of Xiao Zha, Feng Yiping did not neglect his good friend.

This time, there is probably no chance of these two good friends turning against each other.

"This is my first time contacting advertising sales, and I have no experience at all. I think that I am still in my intern career. I will not let the company down in the future and will definitely create more benefits for the company," Saverin said.

Although Zuckerberg has been entrusted with important tasks, he knows very well that the company will never put the sales department in charge of a person like him who has not yet graduated.

I have to say that Saverin is more mature than Xiao Zha when it comes to speaking.

Of course, you can't require a genius to be an all-rounder.

"In terms of sales, we are still making careful preparations. Everyone knows how important advertising sales is to a company like ours. We also need a lot of advice now, including technical ones, so Saverin, we also I hope you can think about how to do future sales from your perspective so as to produce greater benefits."

"Understood," Saverin replied simply.

Feng Yiping was very satisfied with his attitude. He was indeed a mature young man.

But just as he thought, it was impossible to put the sales department in charge of him. Zuckerberg was mainly responsible for technology. In this regard, talent can ignore age, but this is not the case for the sales department.

How can advertising sales be so simple? It is a given that he is good at dancing and capable of dancing in all directions. Of course, Saverin does not have these qualities at the moment, and he may not be able to possess them in the future.

After sending the two excited young men out, Mike said anxiously, "Feng, in that case, can we also hold a world-wide hacker conference just like the hacker conference? It can not only increase the company's visibility, but also It can also recruit talent,”

He must have seen Zuckerberg being reused, so he was a little stressed.

"Is there really a hacker conference?" Feng Yiping asked.

"There really are, and there are many more. The most famous one is the annual Black Hat Conference and Hacker Conference, which was founded in 1997 and held in Las Vegas. It can be said to be a hacker parade. The most attractive theme is Hacking Contest,"

"Is this conference also founded by a company?"

"No, it was started by Jeff Moss, a well-known hacker,"

"Oh, then, will government departments be involved?" This is the question that Feng Yiping is most concerned about.

But thinking about it, the U.S. government will definitely have a hand in it.

"This is true. The FBI has arrested some people who attended the meeting. Officials from the Ministry of Defense and other departments will also attend the meeting,"

That is to say, the U.S. government has always been such a rogue and two-faced person. On the one hand, it recruits a large number of hackers and expands its cyber attack power. On the other hand, it slanders other countries for launching hacker attacks against it.

"Then I think it's better for us to organize similar conferences," Feng Yiping shook his head. Whether it is to expand the company's reputation or recruit outstanding engineers, there are many other methods. If you don't bother doing this, it may become a topic. thing.

Among other things, if his company really created such a conference in the United States, would domestic netizens attack him on the Internet, providing a perfect opportunity for the U.S. government to recruit hackers? That's probably for sure.

"However, I think we can definitely organize a team to participate in such a conference, and if there is an opportunity, we may be able to provide support for such a conference," Feng Yiping patted his shoulder and consoled him.

"I understand." Mike then realized that Feng Yiping seemed a little unhappy, "Feng, what's wrong? Is there any trouble?"

"No, you go and do your work too,"

But he actually still has a trouble, but it's hard to tell others about this trouble.

What troubled him was another Berg, Shelly Sandberg, later the COO of Facebook and the most famous COO in the world.

It was under her leadership that Facebook almost doubled its advertising sales, and eventually became one of the most profitable companies in the world.

Later, the media praised her widely, calling her Facebook's other leg besides Zuckerberg. Even Zuckerberg said that Facebook would be incomplete without her, which shows that she has great influence on Facebook. The role of Facebook.

Not to mention, many Americans even think that she can lead the United States and become the president of the United States... This shows her ability.

In other words, if I pull her over, I can really save a lot of worry.

Feng Yiping and Sandberg are actually familiar with each other. It can be said that Sandberg is also his subordinate, but she is his subordinate at Google.

The leading company in any industry is inevitably the best talent training school for latecomers and competitors. Google is no exception. It has provided two famous women in Silicon Valley. One is naturally Mayer, who later became the CEO of Yahoo, and the other is Sandberg.

At present, Mayer is more dazzling than Sandberg. Who told her to join Google earlier and be younger and more beautiful?

But if we don’t consider the difference in platforms, then from the final result, it can be said that Sandberg is more successful than Mayer. One has supported a well-known company, and the other has become the last CEO of a well-known company.

The problem is that Sandberg is now in Google and is also responsible for the advertising business. If she is poached to be in charge of Facebook’s sales department, does she still want to be brothers with the two Googlers?

She is right next to him, and he knows that she is the most suitable person, but he can only watch. This can also be regarded as the farthest distance in the world.

For the first time, Feng Yiping hated his foresight.
