Chapter 1830 Making Trouble
This corner, which was originally quite quiet, became even quieter now. You could vaguely hear the buzzing sound of the tower crane working on the construction site opposite.
A car on the road reflected a beam of sunlight, which happened to shine on Bruce's face. At that moment, he was so white that he didn't even look white.
This also reminded him, and he forced a smile, "Zach, since we learned that you independently completed a product similar to Facebook, you have been the focus of our company. We believe that giving a genius like you, Finding your best fit isn’t just about what’s good for you personally,”
"It will definitely have a very positive impact on Silicon Valley and our society,"
Zuckerberg, who had been silent until now, asked such a sharp question, and Bruce had to pretend not to understand.
But Zuckerberg was unmoved, and such high praise for him would have little effect.
This is also a very proud guy. For a proud guy, he doesn't think anyone is qualified to evaluate him.
As he had just quit working, he was still subconsciously focusing on the cause-and-effect relationship. Bruce's answer had nothing to do with his question, so he asked again, "It was eBay that commissioned you to do this." ?"
When Miss Gibuta saw him like this, she couldn't help but secretly roll her eyes at him. This guy was so direct that he was a bit rude!
"Hehehe," Bruce laughed a few times, but the laughter was too dry. This time, it was difficult for him to be perfunctory. He felt that if he continued to be perfunctory, the young boy he was facing would definitely get up and leave.
He had no choice but to say, "I know I can't hide it from someone as sharp as you, Zach."
Zuckerberg is right. It was indeed eBay that proactively commissioned LinkedIn to find Zuckerberg.
In the headhunting industry, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
For many companies, they always feel that the most suitable managers are in competitors' companies.
If there are not many targets, that is, like this time, only Zuckerberg is important, it is not suitable to adopt the somewhat rogue method like Google and others: erecting large recruitment billboards on the only way that Microsoft employees must pass to work.
For situations like this, entrusting it to a headhunting company can save a lot of embarrassment and disputes.
For Zuckerberg to serve as CTO of eBay, it was naturally Whitman and eBay who took the initiative to let LinkedIn do this.
By the way, when I first learned that Feng Yiping had asked a young man in his early twenties to take charge of the Indian region, which he obviously valued very much, and that Whitman also had arrangements in India, he was a little scornful at first.
There are so many arrangements in India, so many expectations have been placed on India, and in the end, all Indian affairs are handed over to such a young man. Isn't that nonsense?
She doesn’t think that Zuckerberg is also a genius. How can there be so many geniuses?
Generally speaking, geniuses are exclusive.
Like Whitman, she was not famous when she was young, but because of her dazzling achievements after taking charge of eBay, she naturally believed that her performance when she was young was also a genius.
But Feng Yiping is very young now, and his performance is beyond genius. This makes Whitman a little unhappy. Even if she was a genius when she was young, she can't compare to Feng Yiping.
As a result, you have now found a guy who is younger than you, and it looks like this guy is also a genius. Come on, are there so many geniuses?
But then, the results of Zuckerberg's work surprised Whitman and those who thought like her.
For his actions, he can indeed be called a genius.
After asking around again, he actually wrote a product similar to Facebook on his own when he was in school, but it was a little later. Whitman lamented that Feng Yiping was lucky and was determined to do something. .
Later, she solved eBay's internal problems, vacated the CTO position, and then entrusted LinkedIn to find Zuckerberg with a contract with favorable conditions.
Bruce, who was exposed by Zuckerberg, said simply, "This is eBay after all. I think you must know about it. I think you should also agree with us. It does provide you with a completely A chance to show off your talents,”
Zuckerberg is still very indifferent to Bruce's remarks.
Don't you see that my talent is not just in technology? Hum hum, eBay, if it were Amazon, maybe I would be a little tempted.
Influenced by Feng Yiping, Zuckerberg obviously also has a better impression of Amazon, even though its strength at this time is not as good as eBay-Whitman would be furious if he knew about it.
"eBay, do you also want to develop social business?" Zuckerberg asked again.
This question made Bruce a little embarrassed again.
Although eBay didn't say it, even from Bruce's point of view, at this time and with such generous conditions, it was obvious that no one would believe that Zuckerberg was hired to serve as CTO if they were not interested in social interaction.
Indeed, Whitman had this intention. Her original intention in finding Zuckerberg was also the same. Social networking. How much traffic can it bring to eBay?
"We are not aware of eBay's arrangement, but from our professional opinion, this opportunity provided by eBay is obviously a very rare opportunity," Ms. Gibuta said.
Zuckerberg got a good look at her for the first time, and it was telling that they avoided talking about their problems.
Also, how do you know that what Feng provided me was not a good opportunity?
Now that the problem was clarified, he felt there was no need to delay further.
Seeing him standing up with his bag, Bruce was very surprised, "Zach, why don't you think about a contract with such generous conditions?"
"Thanks, that's not necessary," Zuckerberg said.
These guys don't know Zuckerberg's feelings for Facebook.
But speaking of it, Zuckerberg is not an emotional person. He is a very shrewd guy. Judging from the current development trend of Facebook and eBay, he really doesn’t take it seriously.
Google should be the best high-tech company in Silicon Valley currently, and Zuckerberg, who listened to Sandberg's business arrangement planning, is very clear that Facebook will be equally good in the field of online advertising in the future.
In other words, compared with Google today, we can probably guess Facebook's tomorrow.
eBay, even if it develops smoothly, can it have such strength? Can it be compared to Google?
Putting aside Feng Yiping's personal charm, he could clearly see from Feng Yiping's arrangements for him that Feng was obviously not prepared to only serve as CTO. Otherwise, how could he send himself to India? ?
Even the tsunami relief effort, and the opportunity to represent Facebook internationally, do you want to take it upon yourself?
Under such a premise, how could he be instigated by Bruce and the others?
If you really accept their proposal, you will really have picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.
The reason why he asked them to meet out was just because Bruce often called the company, which was obviously inappropriate.
I have been in contact with headhunting companies like LinkedIn, so the impact is naturally not good.
Of course, the other purpose of asking them to meet was to confirm several of his guesses.
Gibuta also stood up, "Mr. Zuckerberg, I think...,"
"I feel that there is no need for us to contact or see each other again, so I won't say goodbye,"
Although Zuckerberg stopped her, he was speaking to Bruce.
Many times, he is a person who doesn't hide his preferences very much, and his first impression of Miss Gibuta was very bad.
Bruce obviously knew that this meeting would not be effective, and was ready to make a final save. People like Zuckerberg were always their high-quality customers, "Zack, this is your freedom, but you can go back and do it well." Consider whether this is a good opportunity for you."
"Besides, contact with us is definitely not a bad thing for you. At least, it can be a basis for you to renegotiate your treatment with Facebook,"
This is natural. Such actions by headhunters can naturally become a strong reason for the person they like to renegotiate their salary with the current company.
"That's not necessary," Zuckerberg said simply.
Seeing Gibuta looking at him with some anger on his face, he said one more thing, "As for you, Miss Gibuta, if you want to find a job again in the future, you may come to me. I think I should be able to create a new position for you. What do you think of mail delivery clerk?"
He would not be polite to someone he had no interest in and whom he did not like, even if the person was a woman, nor would he wait to talk about it later.
"Haha," looking at Gibuta's face that was deformed with anger, he felt relieved.
But as soon as he arrived at the company, his Indian secretary came up to him with some worry, "Zach, Mr. Feng's phone number,"
