Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 22 Expansion

A girl asked if she was free, and she was in such a situation.

It's still the nickname of Luo brother one by one, even a straight steel man should be able to understand what this girl is thinking.

No, a straight steel man might be unexpected.

But Luo Sheng had long known that this girl had affection for him, and from time to time he took the initiative to transmit this signal, and some hints came several times from time to time.

Irene is a gentle and cheerful girl, eighteen years old, especially those azure blue eyes, being chased by such a beautiful school girl, I am afraid that few boys will be able to hold it, as the saying goes, Women chase men's compartment yarn.

Luo Sheng understands the girl's thoughts and affection, but he is not focusing on a new college student love.

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

And many start-up companies can be considered successful if they can survive for a year and then go bankrupt. What's more, the blue space website is now facing multiple competitions, including the current industry giant QQ, as well as [51 personal space] He is quite concerned.

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 have absolute certainty and he must be successful. There are still too many variables.

He didn't have the golden fingers in the novels, the grandfather system and other plug-ins, nor did he gain any knowledge of alien civilization.When Luo Sheng was just in middle school, he was obsessed with similar black technology novels for a period of time, such as "Super Tech Giant", "Almighty Tech Giant", "Black Technology Big Crocodile" and so on.

Thinking about it now is really nonsense, but judging from the stories of the novels, these novels are indeed very good.

Here, after hearing Luo Sheng’s answer, Irene’s pretty face smile gradually disappeared, her little hand couldn’t help being squeezed for a while, then loosened again, turning her head slightly, puffing her face angrily, secretly annoyed and yelled: "I don’t understand. Amorous guy, isn't his EQ intermittently bursting, and continuous negative?"

When the bus arrived, Luo Sheng got on the bus immediately, sister Irene followed him, and she was also muttering in her heart, is this guy deliberate, is she really 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 economics and management. For recruitment matters, Everyone knows very well.

Luo Sheng needs four types of talents. The first is technology developers, the second is management talents, the third is law auditing talents, and the fourth is marketing talents.

Bluestar Technology started from the Internet. At present, the Internet industry is in a sluggish environment. Although Luo Sheng stated on the recruitment sign that as long as fresh graduates, there are still some adults who ask.

However, the current Bluestar Studio is not suitable for adult employment, and Luo Sheng does not want to hire him and leave soon.

After most of the day, at about 17 o'clock in the afternoon, the recruitment was finally over. This time, 21 new employees were recruited, all fresh graduates.

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

In fact, the IT industry is a popular industry, especially in this era. It is sparse and common for a monthly income to exceed 10,000. Engineers in North America have an annual 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, Bluestar Technology's funds are not sufficient, which is one of the reasons why Luo Sheng chooses fresh graduates.

By the next day, the room next to Bluestar Studio had been disposed of. The 21 full-time employees newly recruited this morning came to Bluestar Studio.

The company now includes a team of 28 people with Luo Sheng.

"Let's stop for a while. Everyone will know each other. From now on, they will be partners who will struggle together." Luo Sheng greeted Xu Yong and the others. At this moment, 28 people gathered in the living room, which seemed quite crowded.

Luo Sheng looked at the new members with a smile: "It may not be the same as you imagined. Yes, this is the office of Bluespace.com. Dormitory culture is still popular in our team, so we only recruit fresh graduates. , So we are not only colleagues, subordinates, roommates, but also partners in a joint venture..."

Xu Yong said immediately: "Okay, boss, these declarations say that no amount can be compared to a dinner together, so I propose that we go to dinner today."

Seeing the members of the old team booing, Luo Sheng said helplessly: "Public opinion is hard to violate, then go."

"Shredded coconut!"

...

Teng Xun, Xu Chenghua's office.

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

"What document?" Xu Chenghua said.

"It's a list of last month's financial expenditures." The secretary said.

"List of financial expenditures?" Xu Chenghua was stunned. This was the first time I saw a startup company voluntarily issue documents on financial expenditures to investors.

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

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

In other startups, you will never report to you if you don’t ask or check the accounts. In this Bluestar Technology Studio, you do not ask or check the accounts, but also take the initiative to report the accounts. This team has a unique aspect everywhere, which is undoubtedly Let Xu Chenghua, who he admired for him, look different.

...

On the other hand, Luo Sheng and the company's team members have been hilarious for a long time, and for the new members, it is undoubtedly the first time to enhance a lot of feelings.

In the early stage of entrepreneurship, the team members must be mobilized, especially when the team is full of college students and fresh graduates. Sometimes a party can get twice the result with half the effort, and a meal does not cost much, as long as you don't go to high-end venues.

After the team size was expanded to 28 people, it was finally easier to maintain the Blue Space website. With more people, it was easy to do things, but the company's expenses also rose on a large scale. Just pay wages, and then you will have to pay eight or nine per month. Million, we have to buy some new office equipment, and the addition of computer hardware has to start with a big one.

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

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

Not only the increase in human resource costs, but also equipment, new servers and so on.

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

It is impossible to afford it with current financial resources.

As time goes by, the 21 new full-time employees have officially entered the work phase. When the new employees first came to the studio, they didn’t know how to unlock the office door, but the door would be automatic at 9 o’clock every morning. turn on.

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

Sometimes, some employees still wear pajamas when they come to work, but it doesn't matter, this is what a company should be in the initial stage.

Luo Sheng now adopts a loose management model for the Bluestar Studio. There is almost no difference between it and the university dormitory. Everyone is doing the same thing at the same time. It doesn't feel like they are at work. It's like having fun playing.

In this way, time passed another month quickly.

During this period of time, since the launch of the photo function on the Blue Space website, the entire website has almost ushered in a completely new change. Users are happy to share their photos, and users open the B community more frequently. , The stay time is also longer, these all indicate the user’s activity and stickiness.
