65. Dual Growth Engines
a few days later.
Shen Si, Shen Xinyi and other six interns who are still studying at the school successfully applied for the CPT internship permit from the school office with the acceptance letter issued by Facebook.
The Evans five had been working there for several days when they came to report.
Christina greeted them and helped them onboard.
"Ten dollars an hour, that's a decent salary! Twenty hours a week, four weeks a month, and then $800, which is almost enough for living expenses."
Gao Lili looked at the salary stated on the entry agreement and muttered with her two friends.
"It's okay, it's definitely better than working in the school cafeteria."
Sisi smiled, then lowered his head and continued to read the various terms of the induction agreement.
Shen Xinyi didn't say anything, she didn't care if she had more money and less money, she mainly wanted to train herself through this job.
She also figured out that since she was hired, she must do the job well, and gain and learn something valuable from it.
The other three, Walker and another white boy, Allen, and a black girl, Debbie, also buried their heads and carefully reviewed the agreement.
Christina watched quietly.
During the next period of time, these few people, except for contemplation, others are her subordinates.
Xia Jingxing divided the team and business.
Dog, Sisi, and Evans are responsible for product development and website maintenance, which is a technical team.
Yang Niu took five interns and continued to work on website promotion and event planning. It was an operation team.
As for himself, he has the overall picture.
Xia Jingxing, Little Dog and Evans were sitting around for a meeting.
"You are also familiar with your work for a few days, and have a clearer understanding of the Facebook website, right?
Now let me tell you about the upcoming "message wall" and "group" functions..."
Xia Jingxing temporarily played a guest role as the product manager, explaining to a group of technicians the product functions that need to be implemented and the product logic.
"It's not difficult, we can do it in half a month."
After listening, Evans was the first to take a stand.
Xia Jingxing shook his head, "Half a month is too long, we can't wait that long, it will be done within a week."
Evans frowned. "A week is too short, probably not."
"Then work overtime."
Xia Jingxing and Evans looked at each other, "As a new company, we have nothing, the only thing we have is "execution".
Do whatever comes to your mind, take it slow, and you won't be able to do anything big in your life. "
"Okay, then work overtime and get some camp beds."
Xia Jingxing could still satisfy this small request, and instructed the puppy beside him, "I'll go buy some foldable camp beds and quilts later."
"Good~"
The puppy nodded hurriedly.
He thought that the boss had been ruthless enough to use him before, but he didn't expect this to be just the tip of the iceberg.
It is really unambiguous that real capitalists exploit working people.
Xia Jingxing glanced at the other four members of the Evans team, "Everyone has worked hard for a week, and the product was launched on time. I will celebrate for everyone."
The other four all nodded, looking eager to try.
For the Facebook site, they are now sincerely admiring it.
Especially when I heard that 80% of the code was typed out by Xia Jingxing alone, I was even more impressed.
They checked the backend codebase and couldn't believe it was the work of a freshman.
For Xia Jingxing, they agreed that his identity as a technical master was more than his identity as a boss.
After explaining the work of the technical team, Xia Jingxing went to the operation team again.
Several interns have just filled out the induction materials,
I was chatting with Christina, and when I saw the big boss coming over, they all stood up and said hello witly.
"Everyone, please sit down."
Xia Jing smiled and said, "Our company advocates flat management. It's fine for everyone to just call my name "Dailun"."
Seeing that Xia Jingxing was so approachable, several interns including Shen Xinyi were relieved a lot. After all, no one wanted to have a strict superior.
"Our job content was mentioned to you during the interview.
It is mainly about operation planning and other aspects of work, including online and offline two parts.
In the future, your team leader will be Christina, you just follow her instructions.
For some jobs, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it for the time being, it will give you a period of adjustment, let you familiarize yourself with Facebook, and understand how the Internet and social play are played…”
Xia Jingxing briefly talked about the work content, and then started the old operation - painting cakes.
"Everyone knows that we at Facebook are a start-up company.
Startups have one thing that big companies don't have, or very little of - options.
As long as everyone performs well enough in the internship process and contributes to the company's user growth, we will offer options as rewards..."
The black girl looked surprised, "Our interns also have options?"
"certainly!"
Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "I remember you, your name is Debbie, right? During the interview, I came up with a wonderful operation plan.
Your plan, we will plan to implement it.
If it can help Facebook grow hundreds of thousands of users in a short period of time, then the option rewards will definitely be indispensable.
We are never stingy with talent.
When you join Facebook, you are a member of Facebook. You must have a sense of ownership and don’t treat yourself as an outsider. "
After some remarks, Debbie was elated when she heard that the new boss actually remembered her name and the interview scene, which made her feel valued.
Xia Jingxing called out each of the five interns present and described the operation or promotion plan they planned during the interview.
When she finally clicked on Shen Xinyi's name, she raised her head to look at Xia Jingxing, and then lowered her head quickly.
"Your plan is also very good, but there are still some areas that need to be improved."
Shen Xinyi also knew what the problem might be, and replied, "Okay, I will improve it again."
"Okay, I will give you an induction training next, so that you can better understand the Facebook and social networking site models.
On this basis, everyone will re-improve their own plans. "
After finishing speaking, Xia Jingxing greeted Yang Niu and pushed a blackboard for teaching from the corner.
Xia Jingxing turned into an induction training instructor and started writing and drawing on the blackboard with a water-based marker.
The first to talk about is the six degrees of separation theory, which is the cornerstone of the establishment of social networking sites.
Several interns in the audience thought it was quite novel.
Because before this, no one has explained the birth of social networking sites in such detail.
The Evans team also found it interesting and novel, and slid their chairs to the class.
"I started to get in touch with the Internet when I was in middle school. After entering Stanford, I found it a little difficult to meet new friends, so I thought of designing a website to include all teachers and students in the school.
In this way, wouldn't it be very convenient for everyone to find people and make friends?
Say it and act now.
I found my roommate puppy, and we both code in the dorm together.
Thus, Facebook was born in the dormitory..."
When the puppy heard his name, he enjoyed the envy and admiration from all around him, and his chest was raised by three points.
"Christina was very helpful during the promotion process.
We chose to place advertisements in the "Stanford Daily" and radio to let students know that there is such a website, and the media used are text and voice.
Then, the beauty pageant started, what was used? "
Xia Jingxing started to ask questions and clicked on the black girl, "Debbie, you answer."
Debbie, who studied psychology, stood up and explained it with her professional knowledge.
Seeing that Xia Jingxing was pouting, she hurriedly spoke it again in plain language, summarizing several key words such as "comparison" and "vanity".
Xia Jingxing asked Debbie to sit down and continued to lecture.
"Facebook currently has 200,000 users, and our next goal is to occupy colleges and universities across the United States.
around this goal? What should we do? "
Xia Jingxing picked up the marker in his hand, drew a horizontal and vertical axis on the blackboard, and wrote two words at the two arrows.
"Technology Driven!"
"Operation Driven!"
