Global Monopoly of Technology

Luo Sheng couldn't help but be stunned for a while, his expectations were wrong, it seems that most of the rhythm of Xiao Zha was "deleted" by this world.

It turned out to be the social networking site MySpace created by Chris. Think about it too, the original world Xiaozha officially founded Facebook next year.

The world has changed after all, but Luo Sheng has full confidence no matter what, even if Facebook or MySpace comes up, he is not afraid. The advantages of Bluestar Technology have already taken shape. The advantage of one's own knowledge of the future direction of the era has sufficient information to defeat it.

Putting away his thoughts, Luo Sheng looked at George Charles and said, "George, from now on, you will be the president of the Americas of Bluestar Technology. You will return to North America tomorrow, and I will give you $20 million to build the Americas branch. , the address is set in Menlo Park, California Bay Area, and there is no branch in Europe for the time being, so you can take care of the business in Europe temporarily.”

Luo Sheng paused and thought about it, and then continued: "Before the end of this year, BlueSpace must have 10 million users in North America, and 15 million users worldwide except for the Greater China market. What I want is dominance in the regional market, and I need to pay enough attention to MySpace as a potential competitor."

After speaking, Luo Sheng stared at him motionless.

"Yes, BOSS!"

George Charles, who is in his thirties, doesn't mind that he is ordered by a boss who is more than ten years younger than him. During the interview and assessment, he felt that this Chinese boss was unusual, and even made him feel as much as an experienced entrepreneur.

Luo Sheng nodded with satisfaction, no one objected to his decision, and he also showed a resolute side.

I saw the whole person leaned back in the chair, glanced at the professional executive who was hired from Silicon Valley by a headhunting company, and said: "I have achieved the goal, with a 20% salary increase and an option allotment. If the goal is not reached, I can only ask for another. Smart."

Originally, they were professional managers who were hired at high prices. They came for money. If they didn't develop well, they would at most just slap their ass and leave. For George Charles, Luo Sheng would not be like the domestic people. Talk to him with love and reason with him.

It's useless, and foreigners don't like it very much. Simply put, take money to do things, share more residual value when you do it well, and get fired if you don't do it well.

It's straightforward, and that's actually pretty good.

Ai Lin, the financial steward who attended the meeting, also silently prepared a memo. The 600 million funds just raised, Luo Sheng said, Xiao Ai thought about the real-time exchange rate, the ratio of 8.277, the 20 million US dollars equivalent to RMB about A budget of around 124 million.

George Charles said immediately: "BOSS, I hope to sign an agreement in the form of commercial gambling."

Xu Yong, Feng Yi and others who were present wanted to complain when they heard this. The foreigner thing has not been done yet. They bargained on the spot. Luo Sheng, who was sitting in chief.

"No problem!!" Luo Sheng smiled at George with one hand, and agreed to him very readily, and immediately let Qin Weimu deal with it, and an agreement was settled on the spot.

Half an hour later, George confirmed that there was no problem in signing the agreement, and he was immediately refreshed.

Luo Sheng entrusted a headhunting company to poach a Silicon Valley executive for the purpose of overseas markets, mainly business expansion in the North American market.

After signing the agreement, George Charles left the meeting with satisfaction and prepared to fly back to North America. Before leaving the conference room, Luo Sheng also explained to him that the international version of BlueSpace's website has now expanded to North America. universities and colleges,

Famous schools such as Berkeley, Harvard, and Purdue.

Next, the overseas expansion strategy of the international version of BlueSpace is to target most of the smaller universities and colleges in North America, in addition to Europe, to expand to 21 universities in the UK, ITESM in Mexico, and the University of Puerto Rico. , and the University of the Virgin Islands, including next year's goal of launching the BlueSpace website for universities in Australia and New Zealand.

Luo Sheng hopes that by next year, more than 2,000 overseas university and high school students will be able to use BlueSpace as a social product, and the number of users will exceed 50 million.

As soon as George Charles left, Luo Sheng looked at Feng Yi and others who were present at the meeting and said with a smile: "When dealing with Westerners, we have to follow Westerners' thinking. Our goal is to get things done. Yes, the goal can be achieved.”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. They definitely wouldn't dare to make such a request to Luo Sheng, nor would they do so. After all, one side's soil and water support the other's people, and the differences in cultural customs between the East and the West are quite huge.

But Easterners have the biggest advantage over Westerners in that they can also play well in the West, because they can quickly accept Westerners' gameplay, but many Westerners will encounter difficulties in the East. Because it is difficult for them to accept the way of Eastern thinking, and even arrogantly refuse.

As a result, many European and American companies were overwhelmed with confidence before entering the Greater China market, and finally failed miserably.

The meeting moved to the next topic.

"After the A round of financing, the company will inevitably usher in greater development, and then the human resources will be tight. How many employees does the company have now?" Luo Sheng looked at the company's human resources director.

Zhang Bowen said: "Currently, the company has 288 regular employees, and the HR department is still expanding."

Luo Sheng nodded. The meeting has lasted for more than 40 minutes since it was held. It has basically confirmed Bluestar Technology's strategic policy and specific expansion and operation ideas in the last quarter of this year.

Luo Sheng said: "The domestic and foreign markets of the blue space website are advancing according to the original plan. At the same time, I decided to set up a brand new project to enter the domestic search engine market."

Everyone is curious, to be a search engine?

Luo Sheng continued: "There is no need to think about the global scope. Google search has occupied the dominant position in the global market, but although the domestic search engine market has the largest market share in terms of whiteness, the pattern has not yet been determined. There are also Yahoo search, Google search, etc. , in the end who can break through the encirclement, in fact, everyone has a chance."

Everyone has no objection. Xu Yong, Feng Yi and others who followed him to start a business are blind worship to Luo Sheng, and the hired professional executives will not object, and if there is objection, it will not be invalid. Luo Sheng is unequivocal in the company. people.

In the long run, this is not a good thing for the company's development, but in the long run, it is still far away. Luo Sheng is not yet 19 years old.

When it comes to important decision-making, Luo Sheng is arbitrary, but other places are very willing to discuss it together, such as the unimportant naming issue. In the end, everyone agreed on the name of the search engine - Yunge.

The search engine project was confirmed and handed over to Feng Yi. Luo Sheng occasionally participated in the development sequence. He was undoubtedly the number one developer with the strongest technology in the entire company, followed by Xu Yong.

However, Xu Yong is the chief technology officer, so it is best to leave the development of the search engine project to Feng Yi. Luo Sheng is optimistic about him, but one code is one code. Feng Yi is indeed unable to lead an important project by himself, so he has to Find a headhunter company to poach someone, and this person Luo Sheng has already identified.

Obviously, Luo Sheng is a direct descendant who has the intention to focus on training Feng Yi as the company's core personnel. As the company's CEO, he needs more experience to steer the big ship of Bluestar Technology.

After all, no matter how good he is, he is still a person. If he can bring out a group of capable people who can be independent in the future, this is the result Luo Sheng wants most, because this is related to the future expansion of the company.

The Internet is not Luo Sheng's main focus. Bluestar Technology will eventually be listed, and it is no surprise that it will go public in the United States.

In his heart, a few months ago, he had begun to brew another technology company focusing on technology research and development and high-end manufacturing. This company is also extremely important to the future of Bluestar Technology. He has not disclosed this idea to anyone. .

If Bluestar Technology is the branches and leaves of a big tree in the sky, then the company that Luo Sheng is brewing in his heart is the trunk and roots of this big tree.
