Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 898 Interview

Simon just took a day off on Saturday and resumed work the next day.

The Nasdaq index broke through 3000 points, and the waves caused will definitely not stay on the day of February 16, the upcoming new week, or the next month, or even the next few years, the impact of this matter will continue.

Since things cannot be changed, Simon intends to use them.

The main reason is that the hedging team of Cersei Capital has restarted its efforts to become a long-term technology stock until the end of the year.

Because of the election year, in order to ensure re-election, Washington will ensure that the capital market will not be turbulent at all costs. Even the Republican party will not dare to break the bubble at the risk of offending the entire Wall Street.

Therefore, from now until the end of the year's election results, this year, unless there are force majeure factors such as the outbreak of war or natural disasters, the technology stock market will only skyrocket.As a latecomer, Simon can basically be sure that an event like the Black Swan will not happen.

Then, in 1997, preparations for harvesting Asia will begin.

In the past history, the Asian financial crisis actually caused a sharp decline in North American stock markets, but the Nasdaq index was still far below 3000 highs, so there was no danger. Instead, the Asian financial crisis led to a large number of safe-haven funds. Entering North America, to a large extent, created the miracle of NASDAQ rushing to 5000 points.

This time, it may not be so good luck.

If there is no accident and the harvest of Asia is completed, the Westeros system can happen to recapture the new technology fields that crashed with the Asian economy and further strengthen its control over the new technology industry.

Simon is just a pity.

If the original plan to suppress the Nasdaq index in 1996 is completed, the new technology bubble is very promising to survive the financial turmoil next year. Not only will the entire industry not enter the winter in advance, but it will be further consolidated for two to three years. Industrial foundation.

Work in New York is over, and Simon returns to the West Coast on February 19.

Immediately on February 22, Simon's 28th birthday. Although he didn't plan to do anything haphazardly, the two Jenny and many people around him attached great importance to it. They always had to prepare a few days in advance.

The media also generally noticed Simon's birthday.

After all, it's too close to Simon's personal net worth to break through $100 billion, and his 28th birthday has once again made many people realize how young a super rich is.

28 years old.

Many people have not yet left the campus at this age, and Simon Westero has reached a peak in life that no one can reach.

This kind of news fever does not benefit Simon at all, so he quickly used the public relations force of the Westeros family to cool public opinion. In the end, it was not a hot spot, and the effect soon showed.

However, on the day of February 22nd, the Dumei Cape Manor, where the birthday party is held, is still very lively. Even if the scale is reduced as much as possible, the number of guests still exceeds 300 people.Moreover, this time even many politicians in Washington, such as the Clintons, sent birthday wishes, either explicitly or implicitly, including a gift from the Bush family.

Compared with the alienation of Simon from the elite American elite class in previous years, the current attitude change is very obvious. Simon responded positively to the closeness of these elite classes and deliberately spent a day responding.

After his birthday, Simon re-planned his work schedule, planning to spend half of his time every day for the next few months to advance several of his plans.

These include the Trojan plan to penetrate the US political and military class.

Solvay's plan to train talented teenagers.

SpaceX, which continues to advance the aerospace industry.

SolarCity, which develops high-efficiency photovoltaic technology.

as well as,

To accomplish this, the core is actually talent.

In order to recruit relevant talents, Simon used the resources of the entire Westeros system to spread the net globally, and the heads of the personnel departments of many local or overseas companies have recently received notices to recruit relevant talents.

It's too easy to find some people under the net.

The former SpaceX founder Elon Musk is one.

Only things have changed a lot.

This 25-year-old immigrant from South Africa has a dual degree in economics and physics from the University of Pennsylvania. After finishing Bin University last year, he applied to Stanford University, intending to pursue a doctorate in materials science and applied physics, but came to the West Coast. Feeling the vigorous development of the Internet industry, Musk dismissed the idea of ​​continuing to study and started a business.

The result ended in failure.

This is a website that provides online information catalog indexes for newspaper and magazine publishers and advertisers.

Musk and several small partners raised tens of thousands of dollars from himself and his family, worked more than ten hours a day, and rented server space through Igret’s AWS service, and successfully obtained it before his own funds were depleted. With a venture capital of US$1 million, after the website was successfully launched, ads were also placed on platforms such as Google’s search engine.

It is a pity that there are very few visits to the website.

The first venture lasted five months. The $1 million in venture capital was exhausted, the website had no traffic, and there were no customers, so it had to be shut down.

In Simon's memory, Musk did get the first pot of gold with a catalog index website in his early days.

However, the current Internet environment is different.

In this era of space and time, Yahoo has just appeared, and it is also a website that seems to be a directory index, so it provides inspiration for many entrepreneurs.

Now, Igrid’s Google search engine has begun to be implemented. Both ordinary users and commercial customers can find the information they need from the more powerful and richer search engine platform, not to mention the 58List platform, a comprehensive classified information website of Igret.

Therefore, although a professional directory index website is not without living space, the possibility of forming a sustainable business model is very low, and none of the ten related entrepreneurial projects may be successful.

After the startup failed, Musk found that the funds raised by his startup were either used to purchase Igret’s AWS services or used to advertise on Igret’s platforms. More than 1 million US dollars of funds were mostly used. The Internet oligarch made a profit, so he simply posted a resume to Igret, and successfully got a job in the e-commerce sector in charge of a female housekeeper.

Musk is not discouraged, but intends to accumulate experience through Igret's work experience in order to try to hinder things.

E-commerce is also a carefully selected target by Musk. He believes that other businesses of Igret, such as AWS cloud services, Google search engine, etc., have either formed a factual monopoly that is difficult to subvert, or the comprehensive threshold is too high for entrepreneurs to enter. In the field of e-commerce, there are still many opportunities.

It must be said that this judgment is not wrong with the current development level of the Internet industry.

Even Amazon, which was at its peak in history, has only about 50% market share in the field of e-commerce, and the other half is divided between large and small e-commerce.What's more, the current e-commerce field is still in the early stages of development, and the market potential is huge, which means that there will be great variables in the future, and it is not known who will die.

However, Musk, who was planning to dormant for a few years, saw the recruitment revelation of the three companies circulating in Igret, SpaceX, SolarCity and FusionTimes, and quickly moved his mind. This is the real field of interest for Musk. Otherwise, during his time at Penn, he would not specifically obtain a degree in physics outside of economics. Last year, he once planned to further study for a PhD in materials science and applied physics at Stanford.

What's more, a little inquiries will reveal that this is a project promoted by Simon Westero himself.

Space exploration, photovoltaic power generation, and controlled nuclear fusion. Although these three areas seem to be somewhat out of reality, even if it was five or six years ago, the Internet seems to be out of reality to many people, but Simon Westero is in one hand. Created the miracle of the current Internet industry, then, what is impossible with space exploration?

On the other hand, I have to admit that at the current stage of entering the Internet, I have actually missed the blue ocean period, the competition is very fierce, and the likelihood of success is getting lower and lower.

In comparison, space exploration and other industries can still be regarded as new technology fields. Join now. Once successful in the future, there will be no less tangible benefits. Simon Westero’s credibility in this regard, look at Igri This can be seen in the large number of billions of billionaires inside.The recent listing of Tincobalt has directly created two billionaires, one of whom was Westeros's maid.

This is the real American dream.

After considering the three companies, Musk still chose SpaceX by instinct, and his resume was quickly responded. Two rounds of preliminary interviews were easily promoted, and then ushered in an interview hosted by Simon Westero himself.

The time is already March 3.

Sunday.

The location is in the Playa Vista area not far from Los Angeles International Airport in southern Los Angeles.

This is already outside of Los Angeles.

However, anyone who knows the development history of some aerospace fields knows that this is the former site of the aircraft factory of the once legendary rich Howard Hughes.

A total of 50 people participated in the interview, all of whom were recently selected from various fields.

According to Simon's requirements, no more than 35 years of age, most of them are single, more than half of them have a doctorate, and have plenty of energy to work more than 10 hours a day for a long time.

Including the time of this interview, they are arranged specially.

Sunday.

And it started at eight o'clock in the morning.

It should have been a break. If someone complains about this, unfortunately, you are not suitable for this job.

Although Musk was selected by Simone del Monte, this interview did not receive any preferential treatment.Even if it has been decided, Simon does not intend to immediately raise this young man, who is only 25 years old, to high position.

Simon had arrived early.

All the interviewers arrived on time and gathered in the large working room similar to the studio of the studio.

There are many workbenches in the studio, and all kinds of cutting-edge or commonly used industrial equipment are readily available. Interviewers who like to do hands-on everyday can tell at a glance that many of them are professional equipment for processing parts needed in the aerospace field.

Summoning everyone to come to him, Simon clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. He glanced at everyone slightly and said, "Did everyone see the surrounding equipment? This interview may be different from what you imagined. I have a tight time. , I don’t have time to talk to everyone one by one, so I will only talk about some of the things you are most concerned about."

"Everyone should already know the field that this company named SpaceX is involved in. My promise is that if you are an idealist and hope that humans can fly into space and move into the future, congratulations, this is the most suitable for you Platform. If you are a realist and want to get generous remuneration through your own ability, and lead the best life, SpaceX is also the best company for you."

"Some people may doubt the latter, because in the usual perception, the aerospace field has never been an industry that can obtain huge benefits, but in fact, the demand for commercial aerospace launches in various countries around the world has been increasing because everyone hopes that in our The planet has some of its own satellites. Conquering space is the ultimate goal of SpacX, but in my opinion, if only ideals are separated from reality, nothing can last for long, so the first step of SpaceX is to become the world’s largest private Commercial Space Launch Company."

"According to my team of consultants predicting that the commercial aerospace market will reach 100 billion US dollars in the next decade, as long as SpaceX can get one-third of the market share, if it seeks to go public, the market value will not be less than 100 billion US dollars. The creator of this company, I will distribute most of the shares to you as a reward. By the time, many of you will have millions and even like the founding team of companies such as Igret and Tinkerbal. Billions of wealth."

Speaking of which, Simon paused briefly to give everyone some reaction time, and then continued: "However, before that, you need to prove your strength to get the job. And even if you join SpaceX, you will not Immediately get too much compensation, the work intensity will be very large. I need you to understand that SpaceX is not a super rich toy, I will provide you with all the necessary conditions, whether it is life or work, make sure You don’t have any worries. But this job also has very, very, very strict restrictions. If you can’t afford it, I advise you to leave now, go to NASA, go to Boeing, go to Lockheed, find a copy from 9 to 5 Of the smooth work of this life."

After these words, some interviewers on the scene looked at each other a little bit.

Simon waited for a moment, and no one left, so he clapped his palm again: "Very well, then, we started today's formal interview content. Did you see the equipment around, and the various materials over there, I want you to personally Use these equipment and materials to form your own team, a group of three to five people, and make different rocket parts according to the requirements. You have a day, don’t get it wrong, not only today during the day, but the standard day time, 24 hours, As of 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will come again, and there is also the acceptance team from NASA. The parts you make tomorrow will be fully evaluated according to NASA's acceptance standards, so everyone remember that what I need is really used in rockets The standard parts on the site, not the popular science handicraft in the kindergarten."

After Simon finished speaking, he gestured to the girl A beside her. Alison opened the suitcase she had been carrying and placed a thick stack of document bags on a workbench with a small lathe beside it to supplement her own boss. Say to everyone: "Everyone groups themselves and chooses at will. Each team can only choose one task, and it cannot be changed halfway."

Simon added next to him: "If someone can complete the task ahead of time, you can also choose to help other teams, yes, this will get extra points, and the staff on site will help record. Of course, these parts are actually very difficult. , 24 hours, if your ability is mediocre, it may not be sufficient."

Finally, another arrangement was made. After the interviewers were very efficient in teaming up to choose their own tasks, Simon took A girl and some other followers to leave.

Work outdoor.

On boarding his car, Simon remembered one thing and asked the girl A beside her, "I remember telling them, have all their meals been arranged in advance?"

Girl A said: "The team of chefs at Malibu Studios will be personally responsible, and the standard meal is $500 per person."

If you don’t consider alcohol, $500 is already the consumption standard of most top restaurants in Los Angeles.

Simon nodded in satisfaction, thought for a while, and smiled again: "Contact the Elite Los Angeles branch here, find some models to come over as temporary part-time delivery staff, remember, to be beautiful, in fact, women are the most powerful to inspire men's potential tool."

The interview tasks just given are quite difficult. In Simon’s vision, half of the people can complete the task as of tomorrow morning. The 50 people who participated in the interview this time, although they are already carefully selected elite, Simon also Only one-fifth of them will be admitted, and most of the rest will be eliminated.

Without faith, without confrontation, it is very difficult to want to work alone

Therefore, Simon is happy to give the geeks who have been dedicated to technology all year round to feel the superior life of mankind through some details.Of course, if you want to be a real person, you must work hard and climb hard.
