Global Monopoly of Technology

A girl took the initiative to ask if she was free, and it was in such a situation.

It's still a friendly name for Brother Luo, even a straight man of steel should be able to understand what this girl's heart is thinking.

No, the straight man of steel may really not think of it.

But Luo Sheng knew for a long time that the girl had affection for him, and from time to time, he took the initiative to send such signals, and some hints came from time to time.

Irene is a gentle and cheerful girl, eighteen fragrant age, especially her blue eyes, being chased by such a beautiful school girl, I am afraid that few boys will be able to bear it, as the saying goes, Women chasing men's interlayer yarn.

Luo Sheng understands the girl's mind and affection very well, but now he is not focusing on a new college student romance.

He just wants to focus on his career now, because the competition in the Internet industry is extremely cruel, and once the first-mover advantage becomes a trend, it can hardly be shaken.

Moreover, many startups can be considered successful if they survive for a year and then go bankrupt. Besides, the BlueSpace website is now facing multiple competitions, including the current industry giant QQ, and there is also a [51 personal space] that he is quite fond of. for attention.

Luo Sheng knows that his biggest advantage is his foresight and the various creative elements he knows in his mind, but this does not allow him to achieve success with absolute certainty. There are still too many variables.

I don't have the golden finger in the novel, the old grandfather system or other plug-ins, and I have not obtained any knowledge inheritance from alien civilizations. When Luo Sheng was just in middle school, he was obsessed with similar black technology novels for a while, such as "Super Tech Giant", "Almighty Tech Giant", "Black Tech Giant" and so on.

Thinking about it now is really nonsense, but from the story of the novels, these novels are really good.

During this time, after hearing Luo Sheng's answer, Irene's pretty smile gradually disappeared, her little hand clenched for a while, then loosened it, turned her head slightly, puffed up her face angrily, secretly annoyed and said: "I don't understand. Amorous guy, is his emotional intelligence intermittent and negative?"

The car arrived at the station and Luo Sheng immediately got in the car. Sister Aileen followed behind him, and was also muttering in his heart, is this guy doing it on purpose or is he really an elm head?

After the episode, the two of them came to the human resources market. This time, Luo Sheng decided to recruit about 20 people, mainly programmers and developers, but also needed some talents in economic management. Everyone knows that.

Luo Sheng needs four types of talents, the first is technical developers, the second is management talents, the third is legal audit talents, and the fourth is marketing talents.

Bluestar Technology started from the Internet, and the current Internet industry is in a downturn. Although Luo Sheng stated on the recruitment board that as long as fresh graduates are required, there are still some adults who come to inquire.

But the current Blue Star studio is not suitable for adults to work, and Luo Sheng doesn't want to be recruited and leave soon.

After most of the day, at 17:00 in the afternoon, the recruitment work finally ended. This time, 21 new employees were recruited, all of them fresh graduates.

Luo Sheng offered them a basic salary of 2,200 yuan, plus some subsidies for overtime and the like, and they could get about 3,000 to 3,800 yuan a month.

In fact, the IT industry is a very popular industry. Especially in this era, it is common to earn more than 10,000 yuan per month. The annual salary of engineers in North America can even reach a high salary of 60,000 to 70,000 US dollars.

However, the industry environment is not good, many companies have closed down or laid off employees, and they are all fresh graduates.

At present, the funds of Bluestar Technology are not sufficient, which is one of the reasons why Luo Sheng chooses fresh graduates.

On the second day, the room next to the Blue Star Studio had been disposed of. All 21 full-time employees newly recruited this morning came to the Blue Star Studio.

The company now has a team of 28 people including Luo Sheng.

"Stop for a while, let's all get to know each other. From now on, we will be partners who will fight together." Luo Sheng greeted Xu Yong and the others. At this moment, 28 people gathered in the living room, which was already crowded.

Luo Sheng looked at the new members and smiled: "It may not be the same as you think, yes, this is the office of the BlueSpace website, the dormitory culture is still popular in our team, so we only recruit fresh graduates, so We are colleagues, subordinates, roommates, and partners in joint ventures..."

Xu Yong immediately said: "Okay boss, these declarations say that no amount of them can compare to a dinner party, so I propose that we have a dinner party today."

Seeing the old team members booing one after another, Luo Sheng said helplessly: "It's hard to go against the public opinion, so let's go."

"Shredded coconut!"

...

Teng Xun, Xu Chenghua's office.

"Mr. Xu, this is a fax document sent by Bluestar Technology Studio."

"What document?" Xu Chenghua said.

"It's a list of last month's financial expenses," said the secretary.

"List of financial expenditures?" Xu Chenghua was stunned. This was the first time he had seen a startup company take the initiative to send investors documents on financial expenditures.

Because usually, after a venture capital raises a start-up company, it usually sends a financial accountant to stay in the invested company in order to understand the financial expenditure of the invested company.

This time Xu Chenghua invested in Bluestar Technology, not only as a financial investor, but also did not send financial personnel there because of trust and appreciation.

In other startups, you will never report to you if you don’t ask the account and check the account. In this Bluestar Technology Studio, you don’t ask or check the account, and you still report the account on your own initiative. This team has a unique side everywhere, which is undoubtedly true. Let Xu Chenghua, who was already admired by him, look at it in a different light.

...

On the other hand, Luo Sheng and the company's team members had a good time for a long time. For the new members, it undoubtedly increased a lot of feelings for the first time.

In the early stage of starting a business, it is necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm of team members, especially when the team is all college students and fresh graduates. Sometimes a party can get twice the result with half the effort, and it doesn’t cost much to eat a meal, as long as you don’t go to high-end places.

After the team size was expanded to 28 people, maintaining the BlueSpace website was finally a lot easier. It was easier to do things with more people, but the company's expenses also increased on a large scale. Just paying wages, it would cost 80,000 to 90,000 yuan per month. Some new office equipment has to be purchased, and the purchase of computer hardware has to start at 100,000 yuan.

A series of expenses can be roughly calculated. So far, half of the angel round financing has been spent. Now the company has only 600,000 left on the book. Luo Sheng estimated that the company will try its best to increase revenue and reduce expenditure in the next days. , a monthly expenditure of 300,000 is barely enough, but it can only last for two months.

After the BlueSpace website launched the picture function, users ushered in a peak period of growth, which brought an increase in website operating costs.

Not just the increase in human resource costs, but also equipment, new servers, and more.

The current servers are all rented. As for buying, Luo Sheng has never thought about it at all. Even if it is more than 10,000 yuan for a set of servers, he cannot afford it at all, because it is not a matter of one or two groups.

It is simply impossible to afford it with current financial resources.

With the passage of time, the newly added 21 full-time employees officially entered the working stage. When the new employees first came to the studio, they did not know how to open the lock on the office door, but the door automatically opened at 9:00 every morning. Open.

Except for Luo Sheng, no one will arrive at the office before noon. Everyone is a night owl. The 21 new team members soon became night owls. The big guys basically come to work at 11 or 12 o'clock. , although the working hours are set at nine o'clock.

Sometimes some employees come to work in their pajamas, but that's okay, that's what a startup should be like.

Luo Sheng now adopts a loose management model for Bluestar Studio. There is almost no difference between it and the university dormitory. Everyone is doing the same thing at the same time. Like having fun.

Just like that, another month passed quickly.

During this period of time, the BlueSpace website has launched the photo function, and the entire website has almost ushered in a new look. Users are happy to share their own photos, and users open the B community more frequently. The time is also longer, which indicates the user's activity and stickiness.
