Going Into the World!

“Whoo-hoo! Treatment. Woohoo! Treatment.” Eva calls to me while I dream of the commander.

“Ms. Grant, there's a man here named Robin Lee. ”

“Really? Tell them to come up. ”

It's been almost a month since I met Robin Lee and I think I've made my decision. I got a call yesterday and made an appointment to meet her at bed today.

‘My friend, slow down. Guess you finally decided, huh?’ If you didn't want to work with me, you would have told me by phone. Seeing that I came here myself, I think I've made up my mind.

“Welcome. Have a seat. It's been a month.” I'm very pleased to welcome you. I have to use it to make my money because it's well polished, of course I have to do it well. It's not really easy for me to go to China and do business.

I'm learning Chinese now, but that's easy to say, not in a morning. Of course, you can learn it relatively easily because you are better than others, but it doesn't make sense to fluent in Chinese in a year.

Being able to come to the United States and become proficient in English in a year is possible because he is surrounded by English every day and has been obsessed with it. It is not impossible to expect the same result when he is as busy as now and there is no Chinese around him. My goal is to have a conversation that lasts about three years, and then I want to hire a Chinese secretary.

It is my strategy that connections like China are important and that long-standing communism creates representatives for countries with different cultures. Robin fits the bill. It's smart, it's English, it's ambitious, but at least not yet enough to ask the owner, so it's perfect.

“Yes, thank you for your hospitality. Nice decor, by the way.” Robin looks open as I greet him with a big welcome. I feel a little overwhelmed by the pressure from the boss's office to sit in the lounge while looking around. You pay for decorating the boss's room.

“Ms. Grant, can I get you something to drink?” Eva comes to me and asks,

Robin glances at Eva and quickly turns his head. Ha-ha, shy. I think it's a little awkward because there's probably a pretty secretary standing somewhere. I looked at Robin and I said, "Your secretary has a drink? 'It caught my eye that I have doubts.

Well, in the United States, there are guests in the boss' room, and the secretary doesn't even make coffee. Eva's always taken care of me, so she's just acting like it. And so far, not many external visitors have come to my office.

“I'll have a cup of coffee, what would you like Robin to have? ”

“Yes, I'll have a coffee, too.” Robin sounds nervous as if he's been interviewed.

“Good to see you again. How are you?”

“Yes. Thanks to you..." Haha. He's a nervous wreck. Thanks to you, you've been worrying all month because of me.

“Yes. Have you decided? I assume you've made a good decision, seeing as you're here in person.” I leaned on the couch and looked Robin in the eye. I energized my eyes with the energy of my whole body.

“Yes?! Yes, I accept your offer” I think I'm embarrassed that I got to the point so quickly. Well, maybe you'll talk about it later. Yeah, well, if you need a search warrant, it's for beginners like Robin. You just need one punch, and it's over.

“Oh, that's a great decision. I knew you would, too. As I said before, I'm looking at Robin's potential. I don't know if you know this, but I'm in business. Now I'm confident that if you join me in the Chinese market, we'll be able to succeed faster than anyone else. If Robin refuses, I'll try to find another partner, which is great. ”

I secretly made a face with others in mind, even if it wasn't you. Now that you've taken one step, you'll need this precaution to take advantage of the negotiation.

“Ms. Grant, Robin, here's your coffee.” That's when Eva brings the coffee.

“Eva, thank you. Mr. Robin, coffee. ”

He had already passed on to me, so he gently led the story. Robin has made a firm decision that he will leave Infosyk if he completes the handover by the end of this month. I proposed a search and portal business in China.

“I think we can start a search portal like Myway, Google or Yahoo in China. I'm going to give you technical support and funding from my companies. You have to go and start a company. You have to build connections. Already, it's a proven business model here, so if you have enough support, you can grow quickly. ”

“Thank you for doing that. By the way, does the company form a branch office? ”

The first time I spoke, I felt a nuance about 'Let's work together because we believe in your possibilities,' and without a partnership story, I felt a little cautious.

It seems Robin is not so ambitious after all. I stabbed him, thinking he'd just make him a professional manager, and he didn't like it.

“That's not necessarily true. I think we should start an independent company. But since I'm investing a lot of money and supporting technology, maybe I should clarify my stake relationship. ”

Recognizing Robin's mind, I had the impression that I wanted to work together as planned.

“Yes, of course you do. So how exactly...? ”

Robin is a typical old-school Chinese figure, short and thin. He is less than 170 degrees tall and thin. And he looks up at me and he notices, "Well, what's my cut? 'I think you're asking.

“Haha. I'm going to invest two million dollars. I'll give you 10 percent of the shares. ”

“10%? It's...” I can see the look on his face and he's just upset. Oh, my God. Two million dollars didn't come into my ears. I only heard 10 percent.

“If your initial investment is $2 million, I'll just give you $200,000 and get started. I'm going to invest an extra five million dollars later, and I'm going to give you an extra half a million dollars for free. And with this much operational funding, do you want me to go swimming on the ground? ”

“Yes, I do.” Robin is somewhat accepting but feels that 10% is too small. My research shows that Robin also has between $20-30,000 in wealth. When I see 200,000 dollars falling to me instead of 200 million dollars, I may feel small elsewhere.

“Do you know how much I bought Classmate.com for? ”

“Yes? How did I...?” Robin can't answer my silly question, and she looks at me with a grumpy expression, "How do you know that?"

“I bought it for two million dollars. It was founded over five years ago. But do you know how much it's worth now?” I changed my soft tone and spoke decisively and confidently. Robin gets caught up in my brilliant narrative.

“Yes, I don't know, but I've heard on the news that there are millions of members now. ”

“Yes, there are exactly six million members, and it took less than six months for 300,000 sites to go up in five years. Do you know why that is? ”

Robin, who was thinking of the bear, carefully brings out his thoughts.

“Yeah, maybe it's because there's no publicity." ”

“You're right. Marketing. Of course, there was a technical problem, but the biggest one, no matter what anyone said, is marketing. So why did you fail to market properly in your original company? ”

“Yes… that's it. Maybe it was a shortage of people? ”

“That's also true. First of all, we didn't have the right people to market. The most important reason is money. Maybe if you had enough money, you could have used a marketing company, you could have hired a new person, and you couldn't have done that. If you're not a great marketing person, you need to attract money and hire people like that. ”

I continued my passion. Robin seems to be getting fed up as he nods, falling in love with my story.

“Then! Let me get this straight. Is Robin qualified for marketing? You think you're better than the others? ”

I consider the ranking system to be a patent and stab Robin, who was left as a worker, to be less likely to be good at marketing.

“Oh, it's not like that. ”

“Right? In fact, most people are not very good at marketing. That's why we hire experts.” Huh-huh. Of course, there are marketing experts who manipulate comments and search queries to rank higher, just like me, but most of them don't.

“Yes, but why were you talking about marketing?” Following my advice, I felt a bit confused as I was being drawn into the conversation. It's going as well as I expected.

“This is all about the money. If you can't market, you have to spend money to be promoted, you have to be promoted, you have to be a business. Technology is fundamental, and marketing depends on success and failure. Classmate.com is a great example. So, basically, how much do you have? Can you invest two million dollars like me? ”

And Robin's like, "Yeah. Not that much, but we're starting a venture. If you say ’, it is stumped. That's why we need a preliminary investigation. I've already done my research on Robin's fortune.

“Not really. If I had that kind of money, I would have already started my own business. ”

It is also said that if you try to stop it, you will lose the Hundred War. The answer was fixed.

“That's what I'm talking about. Success is guaranteed if you already have skills and funds. And if you already have a successful model, you swim across the land. I thought Robin would do a good job, so I wanted to work with him. by giving away 200,000 dollars for free, which I think Robin would be the best person in the world. ”

When I gave you a specific example of Classmate.com, Robin now admitted a lot. The problem seems to be that there is very little 'one out of ten' in humans.

“Very well. You're absolutely right, but can I think about it for a second? ”

With this decision so slow, Robin is sweating under his ears, but I can clearly see how nervous and troubled he is.

“Eva, can you get me some more coffee?” I called Eva for a change of scenery. Now that I've driven them away, I'll give them a chance to breathe.

Eva comes with a can of coffee and pours it out to Robin.

“Yes, thank you.” Robin hasn't figured out how to treat Eva. Eva sits next to me for a moment and pours sugar in the coffee. At first glance, Robin squirms, but apparently Eva looks bigger than Robin. Either way, Eva's in high heels, so she'll look a lot bigger.

But it's a little strange to keep looking at me.

‘Huh? And apparently, Eva's sitting next to me baking sugar. ”Come to think of it, this would seem odd if it were a normal relationship. It doesn't make sense for a secretary to sit next to the boss and pour coffee. Plus, this is America.

Ever since that day, after the wall collapsed between Eva and me, I acted with little to no avail, but I should be careful from now on. There's nothing good to be heard from someone else.

I talked about it for a while to give her some space. But you don't have to give it too long. It is the same for those who lack determination, no matter how much time they give.

“Have you thought this through? ”

“Yes, I understand what you're saying. It's all good. Can't you just pay attention? ”

Chuck Boney cannot escape his obsession with the one-tenth of the figures. Haha. The sea is somewhat predictable.

“By the way, you didn't tell me what the approximate value of Classmate.com is. Two billion dollars. ”

“Yes?! So many!” Robin is astonished. Two billion dollars for an ordinary worker is unimaginable.

“Surprised? It cost me two million dollars. And of course, the only cost we've invested since then is six million dollars, excluding labor costs and incidentals. We had six million dollars' worth of funding, and that's how our technologists grew in such a short period of time. ”

Robin opens his eyes as if he didn't believe it, and his mouth opens by itself, and that's just the way it is. I felt proud.

“When Robin's company reaches $2 billion, Robin gets $200 million. 200 million dollars says Robin gets rich. Can you feel it now? ”

Seeing his face, he didn't seem to think at all. Now that I have drawn a big picture with a number and calculated it, I feel like I have realised it.

“I see. I'll do it." $200 million finally raises the bar.

You need a little encouragement at times like this. In the three countries, longevity lost to war is usually forgiven and given to a loyal servant. The wisdom of the ancients is also needed when dealing with people.

“You thought well. I assure you, you will not regret this. I think we can turn it into a company that costs over five billion dollars. And when you go to China, I'll give you $200,000 separately. If you go, you'll have family, you'll have to get a house, and you'll have a lot of money to put in. ”

“Old? $200,000?” My eyes are rolling with words that I never expected. I've already made up my mind, but I'm a little impressed that you're giving me $200,000 all of a sudden.

“You're surprised. I'll tell you again, Robin will be able to run the company from where I see him. When you see creativity and drive, and you work hard at everything, you're going to be successful enough. Think of $200,000 as just a signing bonus. Haha.”

We talked about our plans ahead in a friendly manner. As soon as things settled down, Robin decided to go to China before the end of December, and I decided to send him the funds and technological team to set up a company in China.

As you mentioned, I made a reservation at midnight and it looks like I'm moving up the rank in Tube.

I'm not sure yet whether it's systemic or by your encouragement and recommendation, but I think it's both. Thank you all.

A few of the modern fantasies I read about to relieve stress. I was so excited about the evolution of the equation that I started writing thinking, "I would be better than that." Recently, I was in great confusion because of the unexpected amount of time.

After lunch and after work, as I was struggling with writing, this changed from fun to labor, and I was suddenly motivated because I haven't been able to see it very well in Tube except for a few days in the last couple of weeks.

It feels good to be on the first page of Tube today. Energy is a little charged. Thank you all for your encouragement.
