Chapter 84: Lifting the Table

There is a question worth pondering. If a creature looks like a duck, screams like a duck, walks like a duck, and eats like a duck, is he a duck?

This is a difficult question to answer, because it is indeed very likely to be a duck, but it is also possible that it is not a duck.

It’s like a person who doesn’t look smart, walks in a slant, and can’t explain it clearly. Everyone thinks he has intelligence defects, but he is actually intelligence-normal and is very good at thinking, but he just has no way to express it. Is this true?

Tom thought about this question for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.

However, he didn't figure it out. Tyre invested 10 million US dollars, as long as Tom's shares were 10% stake, that is, in an instant, Tom, a company that had not yet gathered employees, had a valuation of 100 million.

As long as his company is not too bad, it can be promoted soon. Tom also feels that his antivirus software seems to be more effective in starting from high-end people into the market, so he plans to treat the question of whether a duck is a duck as an advertising slogan.

If there is a software that looks like free software and uses it like free software, but it has the quality of paid software, is it free software?

Behind the duck, there will be such a sentence.

However, it is too early to mention advertisements, so it is the main point to gather employees to develop software as soon as possible.

Although Tom felt that his family was not rich, he actually started with elite education.

The so-called elite education is sometimes not a matter of how much money it costs. Even if the level of parents is sufficient and the level of teachers is relatively low, elite education can still be completed.

Like Zhongguancun Primary School in Bei (Miao)jing, was it a good school a long time ago? Maybe it was not, but why did it become a good school later?

It is because there are a large number of high-quality outstanding talents gathered around them, and they have a good education for their children. Therefore, although the primary school is not very good, they gradually gain fame.

Many people always have a misunderstanding, and always think that whether a school is excellent depends on whether the teacher is excellent. But in fact, the decision-making power is not the teacher, but the students here.

The students here are most likely related to teachers, so it is understandable that most people confuse the two. But there are exceptions, that is, parents are excellent enough and have some experience in education, and they will not not teach them just because their children are too stupid.

You should know that every child has different talent or spirituality in learning.

From the perspective of an adult who has figured out a problem, unless the child is a little clear, other children will appear a little stupid.

Tom's parents are a very good pair of parents. Although their children are not very smart, they still have a good control over the knowledge they have learned.

Tom, who is related, rich, and knowledgeable, even has one more element than when Bill Gates became rich.

Although Tom himself had no name at all before, after receiving $10 million in investment from Pitt Thiel and the company was stubborn as high as $100 million, he made headlines on the next day, and the people who came to apply for the job on the third day were like mountains and seas.

This comes from fame, but for money.

For a startup company, it is often not about how to "reasonably" reduce employees' investment, but about making results as quickly as possible so as not to disappoint investors.

Therefore, employees of many security companies including Symantec, Kaspersky, Wanhu Security, etc., came to ask if they could change jobs and come here.

Tom, holding a lot of cash in his hand, kept all the people he thought were most suitable, and his company suddenly became a medium-sized Internet company with thirty senior security personnel.

That's right, it's a medium-sized Internet company.

Unlike traditional companies, Internet companies require much less people. In addition to sales staff, many large companies only have one or two hundred employees as core employees of the company.

This is not the same as traditional manufacturing. Traditional manufacturing requires a large number of workers to work on the assembly line.

Therefore, general large enterprises have tens of thousands of employees.

In the early days of the Industrial Age, these companies were able to make much more money than agriculture, but in the Industrial Age, they were somewhat pale in comparison with Internet companies.

Even the value created by a Microsoft employee can reach the value created by hundreds of people in traditional companies. The salary paid by companies is far less than a hundred times.

This is one of the magic of the Internet industry.

The second magic of the Internet industry is that it has a strong penetration in other fields.

Just like those large factories, they originally needed 10,000 people to maintain their work normally. However, after adding many electronic technology automation items, 5,000 people may be enough.

Therefore, these companies will expand profitably, while those who are not able to expand will fire excess employees. This will not only reduce expenses but also improve efficiency.

But, really, I think everything is so beautiful?

No, not.

Everything is far from that beautiful.

From a small corporate perspective, it is indeed profitable. But from a larger perspective?

A person is both a producer and a consumer, that is, they consume with the rewards they receive from production.

Let’s imagine what would happen if most workers in the world were “killed” by Internet or automation?

The situation is very simple, that is, the mass-produced goods cannot be sold and cannot provide profits to the manufacturer.

If the profit is not enough and the things cannot be sold, the factory will stop production and reduce production, a large number of workers will reduce wages, career and consumption capacity will further deteriorate, and this vicious cycle will be repeated.

Therefore, a country with good development of Internet companies may not look very good in the overall economic trend.

It is not easy to say whether it is a blessing or a disaster.

However, there is a saying that technology is innocent.

A free strategy like Tom is actually a very fierce and vicious competition for paid antivirus software.

Although other paid security software is also engaging in each other, it is still a category where everyone is adding vegetables to the same table and expanding the market together.
