Fifty-Eight, Recruiting Troops (1)

the next day.

Rao Lei invited Xia Jingxing to the school cafe, and also brought a girl with short hair.

Rao Lei said with a smile, "During dinner yesterday, didn't you say that Facebook wants to recruit people? I'll recommend one to you."

Rao Lei pointed at the short-haired girl, "That's it, Shen Simei, the No. 1 science student in Pengcheng's college entrance examination in 1997, and an undergraduate student in Tsinghua Computer, she was under sixteen at the time.

I came to Stanford last year and is currently pursuing a double master's degree in computer science and management. "

After introducing Shen Si, Rao Lei introduced Xia Jingxing to the former: "This is Xia Jingxing, a freshman in the Department of Computer Science, he founded Facebook, and has already received $500,000 in angel investment from President John and a law firm partner. .

The future is limitless!

I heard him say he was hiring the other day, and I thought you would like the job.

The two of you are also close in age, so you should be able to chat. "

Shen Si tossed his short hair, and took the lead in holding out his hand, with a smile on his face, "Hello!"

After Xia Jingxing saw the meditation, his face was a little unnatural, but he soon returned to normal, smiled and shook hands with her, and said "hello".

The reason for such a reaction is because he knew Shen Si in his previous life, and everyone is still friends.

Shen Si and Shen Xinyi are both from their own families, and they are both in Stanford, so they can chat very well, and they are best friends.

After Shen Xinyi had a miscarriage in her previous life, Shen Si, who was a product manager at Google at the time, even called and scolded Xia Jingxing.

Later, Xia Jingxing and she both returned to China.

Shen Si founded Papaya Mobile and Xia Jingxing was a group buying website.

The two met several times in entrepreneurship and investment forums, but they didn't give him a good look after thinking.

Anyway, this woman is a ruthless person, not to mention that she is a scholar when she reads.

Work is also very good, the first non-US product manager of Google.

Entrepreneurship is even more powerful. In 2011, he appeared on the 20th issue of "If You Are the One", and successfully packaged himself as "the first beautiful CEO of the Internet", and the company's reputation has greatly increased.

Papaya Mobile is not a particularly powerful company, but its reputation has been built up by this woman, like a star multinational company.

From the collapse of the Nasdaq, to ​​the delisting of the New Third Board, the move to the Science and Technology Innovation Board was rejected, and the final application for the Growth Enterprise Market was not passed.

Papaya Mobile wanted to go public for the fourth time, but unfortunately it failed in the end.

But it can also be seen that the female CEO is ambitious and persevering.

After reliving his first life, Xia Jingxing let go of his past obsessions, regarded Sisi as a new friend he just met, and introduced Facebook very calmly.

"...At present, we have more than 100,000 users, and there has been a frenzy of campus socialization in major universities in the United States.

Next, we plan to recruit a strong technical team, improve the company system and mechanism, improve product functions, and lay a solid foundation for the next expansion..."

After briefly speaking, Xia Jingxing gave him a thoughtful look, and said with a smile, "This is the current situation and future prospects of Facebook, what do you think of Senior Sister Shen?"

Shen Si waved his hand, "Don't call me Senior Sister Shen, just call me Shen Si."

She said with a smile: "I think it's very good, the plan is very clear, and the growth of Facebook is just around the corner."

Rao Lei, who didn't interrupt much, smiled, "Meng Si, you are still working as a teaching assistant, can you coordinate the time?"

"It doesn't matter, I just quit my teaching assistant job."

Shen Si was very decisive, she said this to sell Xia Jingxing well.

She had also heard about Facebook, and knew how popular it was on campus.

Although she is a girl, she is very professional, and she also wants to do a career that is not weaker than that of men.

Rao Lei nodded and smiled, looked at Xia Jingxing, and said in a joking tone, "What about you? You are all compatriots, you should treat others better.

"

Xia Jingxing understood and knew that this was a reminder to himself about the treatment after joining.

This also needs to be explained in advance, so as not to cause unhappiness and suspicion.

"The $500,000 financing seems a lot, but in the United States, it's actually not a lot.

We plan to continue to work in Stanford's campus startup incubation base. On the one hand, we can save some unnecessary rent expenses, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for employees who are still studying to come to work. "

Xia Jingxing paused and said with a smile, "As for starting a business, you must try to spend your money where you can.

The salary will definitely still be available, and it will be paid according to the student's internship salary outside.

In addition, there are equity incentives. "

Hearing this, Shen Si calmly asked, "Do interns like us also get equity incentives?"

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, all employees who contribute to Facebook, whether full-time or internship, have equity incentives.

Of course, full-time employees must be paid more.

Intern employees do not have to regret, as long as they officially join the company after graduation, they can reissue.

I will not treat anyone who is willing to fight with us for a long time. "

Shen Si looked at Xia Jingxing's old-fashioned appearance and wanted to laugh, but he pretended to be mature when he was only eighteen years old.

As if seeing through the doubts of meditation, Xia Jingxing said slowly again: "I have always kept my promises and will not write empty checks to everyone, I will write all promises into the relevant agreements.

Let every partner who follows us fight the country with us, the rights and interests are guaranteed. "

Hearing this, Shen Si showed a smile, "Okay, I'm willing to join, do you have any other interviews?"

Xia Jingxing nodded, "There is a test, but after the holidays are over, my other two partners will arrive and arrange the test with the other interviewers."

"Any other interviewees?"

Xia Jingxing chuckled, "Although my temple is small, there is an endless stream of students who want to join."

Shen Si realized that he had said something wrong, and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, that's not what I meant."

Xia Jingxing did not hold on to it, and smiled generously.

"By the way, there is one more question I want to ask."

Xia Jingxing smiled and asked, "Is it CPT?"

Shen Si nodded fiercely, because this thing is not easy to apply for, so she can't go to off-campus internships, and can only be a teaching assistant for professors in the school.

"I have communicated with Principal John that students who go to Facebook for internships can apply for CPT.

These are all trivialities, don't worry. "

Xia Jingxing said very lightly, it felt as if the school was run by his family.

Rao Lei chuckled, "You'd better take it easy and don't do things that are too exaggerated.

Stanford is no better than China, and Old John's power is also limited. "

Xia Jingxing laughed dryly, saying this as if I were going to bully boys and girls in school by taking advantage of Old John's momentum.

His mind is still very clear, and he will not do things that embarrass old John.

Old man John is just his angel investor, and he doesn't have much friendship other than his interests.

The contemplation on the side also understood, there was someone on the guy on the opposite side.

I just don't know what Principal John has to do with him?

Xia Jingxing saw the curiosity in her eyes, and said lightly, "Principal John is an angel investor in Facebook, you just need to know, don't spread it."

"Oh, promise not to."

…………

…………

"Favorite, Lili, guess what job I found?"

As soon as he got back to the dormitory, Shen Si couldn't wait to visit the next dormitory.

"Sister Si, what kind of job did you find? So happy?"

Gao Lili was sitting by the bed eating snacks, with her legs crossed, looking like a female diaosi.

Shen Xinyi, who was sitting in a chair reading a book, closed the book, looked at Shen Si, and said with a smile, "Gou Fugui, don't forget each other, Sister Si, are you going to invite us to dinner?"

Shen Si sat down next to Gao Lili, grabbed a handful of potato chips, and said while eating, "Facebook, have you heard of it? I'm going to work there."

"Facebook, tell me quickly, what's the working environment like there?"

Gao Lili thought for a while, "Hey, by the way, is that founder of them a boy, what is his name, with short hair, and a Chinese student."

"You know Xia Jingxing?"

Shen Si was a little surprised, and then said: "That boy is about the same age as you guys, he's very good, and he even got an angel investment of $500,000."

"Really? Last time I took him as someone who came to strike up a conversation..."

Speaking of this, Gao Lili glanced at Shen Xinyi, but hesitated.

The fire of contemplative gossip ignited at once, and he immediately began to ask questions.

"It's nothing, it's just that my favorite looks so good-looking, and there are always some international students who come to chat up.

Not only from the mainland, but also from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Just like annoying flies, we regarded that Xia Jingxing as such a person. "

Speaking of this, Gao Lili paused, "Actually, the boy is very good except for the violence, and he took the initiative to help us throw garbage last time.

I haven't met him since then, so I must have misunderstood him at first. "

"Oh, so it is."

Sisi laughed, "I think he's quite generous, and he definitely won't care about these trivial things.

How about it? If you want to work part-time, I can introduce you to an interview. "

"Is there any salary?"

Gao Lili ate a mouthful of potato chips and mumbled incomprehensibly.

"Yes, compared to the off-campus internship salary level, it is a very good job.

There is also the opportunity to learn about Facebook and the Internet up close, which will definitely be good for your future. "

After listening to the meditation, Gao Lili was a little tempted, "But Xinxi and I are both studying international relations, will they want us?"

"I didn't say I was going."

Shen Xinyi put down the book, walked over, grabbed a handful of potato chips and ate it in her mouth, "I'm going to you, I'm not going."

Shen Si persuaded: "Don't, the two of us go to work there, you stay in the dormitory alone, how lonely?"

Gao Lili put her arms around Shen Xinyi's shoulder and said with a smile, "Yes, it's not for nothing, you get paid. Just go with us."

"The two of us are not learning the Internet, and people don't necessarily want us."

Before Shen Xinyi could finish her words, she shook her head and smiled while thinking, "Who said you must be able to write code? A student of international relations can also help Facebook analyze the international market."

"That's right, try it..."

Gao Lili hugged Shen Xin's hand and shook it violently, as if she wouldn't stop if she didn't agree.

"Okay... don't shake it, I'll accompany you, okay!"

Shen Xinyi thought to herself that she would go through the motions at that time, it didn't matter if she could pass the interview or not.
