Chapter 142 Talents

Although Du Qiu said it relaxed, he actually attached great importance to imail. After traveling through time, he gave up his vacation for the first time and returned to Silicon Valley on the same day as Jennifer. However, Jennifer was in a hurry and took a plane back. He was very leisurely and drove back in Bentley.

When he returned to Chen Dayou's luxurious villa in Atherton, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening. As soon as Du Qiu drove his car to the garage door, he heard a familiar voice behind him saying: "Wow! Mr. Du, the billion yuan rich man is different from the billion yuan rich man, and his grade has increased a lot."

"Xiao Wu, when did you arrive?"

"I arrived at noon yesterday." Xiao Wu walked to the side of the car in two steps and asked: "Mr. Du, don't stop in, let me drive out for a while and have a good time."

"Don't you know how to drive?"

"I got my driver's license two months ago." Xiao Wu waited for the car to parked, immediately got into the passenger seat, touched around, and shouted exaggeratedly: "The texture is really good, beautiful! Luxury! I like it!"

"If you like it, go and buy one." Du Qiu did this and deliberately pulled out the car key and threw it to her, saying, "With your current net worth, you can buy almost 10 cars."

"Tsk! It turned out that I asked me to buy it myself. I thought Mr. Du would say..." Xiao Wu raised the keys of the car, imitated Du Qiu's accent, and said, "Xiao Wu, for your hard work and great contributions, this car has been given to you."

Du Qiu smiled at it and said, "You have not reversed the jet lag yet, are you daydreaming?"

"Isn't it already evening?" Xiao Wu moved to the driver's seat, started the car enthusiastically, and said, "I'll just wander around the neighborhood for a few times and come back soon."

"Let me take off my luggage first." Du Qiu took out two bulging luggage bags from the trunk, then knocked on the body of the car, and said, "Okay, you can drive away."

"Okay."

Four days ago, when Chen Dayou decided to skip the invitation internal test and directly put the imail to the market, Du Qiu called Xiao Wu to come to the United States, because when imail was operating, it would abandon ibm and oracle and use the Android operating system and Anjie database independently developed by Snapdragon.

Android is based on BSD 4.4. After decades of polishing by the University of California, Berkeley, BSD has many precedents in academic and commercial use. It is already very mature. Silicon Valley also has many talents in this field, so there is no problem.

The same is true for Anjie Database. It was developed based on mysql that will only appear in the future. In 1995, there was no precedent for large-scale applications. The performance, function and stability were doubtful. Moreover, there was a lack of relevant operation and maintenance talents. Xiao Wu had to be called from China to provide technical support and personnel training.

Du Qiu stood by the garage and saw Xiao Wu changing gears very skillfully and turning his head, so he felt relieved and walked into the villa with his bag.

"Du Qiu, you're back." Xue Liping was surprised to see Du Qiu's whole body look brand new, and said, "This outfit is pretty, handsome and fashionable, and it's much better than Dayou's taste. Take him with him next time you buy clothes."

Du Qiu looked around the living room and saw that she was the only one at home, so he asked, "Qin Weizhen and the others are gone?"

"I left, I returned to China the day before yesterday. Have you had dinner? Do you want me to make some food for you?"

"I've eaten on the road." Du Qiu put his travel bag on the table next to the sofa and said, "Aunt Xue, I bought you a few small gifts in Los Angeles..."

"Mom, you are not an outsider, you can take the gift yourself." Chen Dayou poked his head from the circular staircase on the second floor and waved: "Du Qiu, come up, let me talk to you about the company."

Du Qiu ignored him and took out a few distinctive handicrafts from his bag and gave them to Xue Liping. Then she urged her to go to the private reception room on the second floor with a smile.

The decoration of the private reception room adopts a typical American style. When you enter the door, you can see a fireplace with four large and luxurious leather sofas around it. Chen Dayou sat on the sofa on the left, holding a wine glass in one hand and a cigar in the other, and looked like a gangster or a political leader in Hollywood movies. Unfortunately, he was too young and did not have the deep demeanor of being so sophisticated, and it seemed a bit out of character.

"Brother Chen, in another 20 years, you can play "The Godfather 4".

"I always feel that the database Xiao Wu has made is a bit fake. I should use Oracle for the imail first. When the time is ripe, then slowly move it." Chen Dayou did not talk nonsense with Du Qiu, and went straight to the point: "The most important thing about email is stability. We are not short of money now, so why should we take risks?"

"The Internet is very different from the traditional industry. If you use Oracle, the future authorization fees and service fees will make you feel unhappy, so it's better to customize them yourself from the beginning." Du Qiu knew the future direction and refused to jump into the pit of Oracle, and comforted him: "I have participated in the research and development of Anjie Database. Xiao Wu did a great job and must have confidence in her."

"Anjie doesn't even have the official version of 1.0 now. How can you be confident if you tell me?"

"The current version 0.93 has been tested for more than two months. The performance is very stable and the performance is fine. Although the functions are a bit insufficient, the imail can be customized as needed." Du Qiu poured some whiskey, sat down on the sofa opposite, and said, "If you are really worried, we can change the internal test plan we gave up before and make batch tests."

“How to change?”

"Change the invitation-based internal testing to a limited internal testing, such as limiting 10,000 places per day, whoever gets it first registers. This has two benefits: one can control the number of samples, test the performance and stability of the database, and the other can..."

"The second can make the already sought-after imail more sought after." Chen Dayou understood instantly, pointed with his finger holding a cigar, and said in a stylish manner: "Du Qiu, you are really a skillful trick. You have eaten all over the world. You did this when you sold your notepad in the cloud before?"

Du Qiu raised his wine glass, which was considered a default.

"If it is a limited internal testing, it can be handled with the company's current software and hardware level." Chen Dayou put down the cigar and wine glass, picked up the memo placed on the coffee table, and said while flipping through it: "The server that placed an order on the 26th will take at least 10 days to arrive. I originally planned to launch the imail on November 18, and now I can arrive in advance..."

Du Qiu's evil tastes broke out and suggested: "How about it until November 11 in advance?"

"No, no, no, it's still a bit late on November 11." Chen Dayou had no idea about Double Eleven, and he planned the memo for a while and said, "Just let's go the day after tomorrow. The limited internal test will start on November 1!"

Although Du Qiu was very confident in Anjie, he was still shocked by him and said, "You are too impatient. Xiao Wu has just come to Silicon Valley and is not familiar with the environment here. Besides, training employees will take time."

"Ten thousand years are too long, so I have to seize the day." Chen Dayou picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in one breath, and said ruthlessly: "Anyway, it's a tightrope on the cliff, so let it go if you want to do it! I will pay double bonuses to let Xiao Wu speed up the training progress."

By chance, Xiao Wu happened to walk in from outside the door and asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, is the double bonus real?"

"If you can train your company's employees within one month, I will not only give you a double bonus, but also give you a sports car privately!"

"Mr. Chen is generous enough. I have taken care of this job. Even if I don't sleep every day, I have to do it well." Xiao Wu was overjoyed and said, "I think Mr. Du's sports car is pretty good. Then you can give me one of the same ones."

"Didn't ask..." Chen Dayou reacted quickly, and changed his words halfway through his promise. He turned to Du Qiu and asked, "What car did you buy?"

Du Qiu took a sip of whiskey and said with a slight interest: "I said it was Mazda, do you believe it?"

"I believe it! Xiao Wu, if you complete the task in a month, I will give you a Mazda."

"Don't, Mr. Chen, Mr. Du lied to you. He drove a Bentley..."

The three of them are old friends, and they meet again after a long time of separation. After chatting for a while, Xiao Wu brought the topic back to business and asked: "Anjie is a lightweight database, not complicated at all. The database is so powerful that Silicon Valley has gone. Mr. Chen, why don't you recruit a few to the iView?"

"Before IView was poor, I was poor and used as pants. How could I have money to recruit people?" Chen Dayou first cried poorly, then got up and took out a folder from the bookcase next to the fireplace, and said to Du Qiu: "As soon as I arrived in Silicon Valley at the end of July, I started to collect talents in databases. This is a resume provided by the headhunting company. Look, if there is a suitable one, I will make an appointment for an interview."

Du Qiu took it and found that there were seven or eight resumes in it, and asked: "Why didn't you take it out before?"

"These are all high-end talents. Before financing, IView cannot give high wages, so we must compensate for stock options." Chen Dayou beat Xiao Jiujiu and said naturally: "The stock option reward pool is only 5%. If it is occupied by others, we will get less in the future."

IView's option reward pool is not only used to attract new senior talents, but also to motivate old employees like Du Qiu and Chen Dayou. If the two are well-managed and the company is listed smoothly next year, they can take away 20% of the remaining options in the reward pool. This share doesn't matter to Du Qiu, but it is very attractive to Chen Dayou, because after the financing, his iView shares are less than 7%.

"You'll recruit people earlier, so you won't be in a hurry now."

"Before financing, we didn't have any database business, so it would be a waste to recruit these people..."

Amid Chen Dayou's explanation, Du Qiu placed the folder upright on the coffee table, folded his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed for five or six seconds before picking it up and looking through the first resume.

"Mr. Du, what did you do just now? I was so arrogant that I didn't dare to give up."

"Before the ancients asked for talents and visited wise men, they had to bathe and change their clothes, burn incense and pray to show their sincerity." Du Qiu said while looking through, "So I just prayed to Confucius, hoping that there are great people who are suitable for the iView here."

"This is the United States, and worshiping Confucius is probably not effective, so we should worship Jesus."

Of course, Du Qiu was not praying to Confucius. He just hoped to find the great man he had heard of before traveling through time in these resumes. Perhaps the prayer took effect, or it was a great fortune, and he really found one, and he was a very powerful man.

"Dian Greene, with a dual master's degree from MIT and the University of California, Berkeley, has worked in Sybase, Tianteng Computer Company and Silicon Diagram Company..." Du Qiu read a short section of the content on his resume and said: "This person has worked in a database company and a server manufacturing company. He has rich experience in software and hardware management, which is very suitable for iView."

Xiao Wu leaned over and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's a woman. I thought it was a man. If she joined the company, our company's database business would be the world of women."

Chen Dayou doesn’t care about gender, but he cares a little about age, and said, “She is 40 years old this year and has little room for development in the future. Why not recruit a younger one.”

Is there little room for future development?

This big guy founded VMware in 1998, became a director of Google in 2012, and served as Google Cloud Ceo in 2015. I don’t know how big the space is…

"Now the company is full of young people in their 20s. They are not experienced and prone to impulsiveness. They need an older person to keep things going." Du Qiu read the rest of the resumes again, and then confirmed again: "Just her, contact the headhunting company and arrange an interview for the iView as soon as possible."

Chen Dayou was a little confused and looked at the resume and said, "This person probably is not easy to dig. She is currently working as a CEO in a small company she founded. If she wants her to join IView, she has to acquire the entire company."

"Then acquire it!"

This great god must be dug up. You must know that VMware's market value exceeds US$40 billion in 20 years. It is a leading manufacturer of cloud computing infrastructure and data center virtualization...
