American Fortune Life
Chapter 414: Silicon Valley Ventures
Andy's abrupt departure left many people scratching their heads, not to mention the aggressive Ivana. Even the little assistant was dumped in New York, only carrying a bodyguard carrying a backpack and wearing a hoodie. I was very strict and boarded a plane to San Francisco.
In his view, New York, with the lioness Lima, has become a place of right and wrong. If Lima's spirit is not thoroughly worn out, his job as a war hero is only the beginning. Once Ivan Na found out that Andy didn't know what would happen.
Therefore, the eldest husband can flex and stretch, it is still important to run first!
"Ah, it's still the best and best of our family film, don't fight or grab! Neither the female lion nor the widow is a fuel-saving lamp, but the small head is really cool, I'll bear it ..."
Andy lay on the seat in the first-class seat of the plane, and suffered back pain.
Angrily and angry, Lima sat in the car and had made many phone calls, and all she got was the shutdown message, and she was also confused.
Raising my hand, I just wanted to drop my phone, but thinking of the lesson that was pressed on the bed last night, which made my soul feel like a dilemma, I instinctively tightened my legs and blushed with a grimace. "This **** ..."
To be honest, Andy is a bit annoying about falling things. It ’s not a good habit to drop things, whether it ’s venting or getting angry. So in order to give the taunting lioness a bit of memory, last night I came up with Power, came a full court. "Now it seems that the effect is very obvious.
"Look at me when I arrive in San Francisco and don't bite you!" Lima gritted his teeth and said, starting the car, kicking the throttle, a strong push was heard, and Porsche rushed out.
Lima, who knows his food, naturally won't choose not to go to San Francisco because of Andy's escape. To be honest, Lima can't wait to be tired with him every day.
As for Ivana, although she was a bit surprised by Andy's departure, she already knew her boyfriend's schedule. San Francisco was the next stop. Although it was unexpected, it was acceptable. Besides, she was really busy now.
The trouble that real estate is now highlighting seems to have just opened the tip of the iceberg. After the analysts of the group deduced according to the data obtained, their faces became cold and sweaty. Linked to the warnings Andy has always issued to her, she knows that, Real estate will not only face ordinary winter, but it is likely that winter will come.
Helplessly looking at his brother like a fool, he also talked loudly at the meeting, saying that the decline in real estate was just a market adjustment. Did he not see a large-scale loan outage?
Andy doesn't have the energy to manage what winter is coming. He wants the real estate to collapse now. Unfortunately, he knows that things are not so simple. There is a counterattack of vested interest groups to face, and why he has prepared so many margins. .
To the p group, it can be said that it has done its best. Although Ivana is her own woman, after all, the p group is not her personal. The warning has been said more than once, and Ivana has also done some business contraction.
The Boeing 747 landed smoothly at the San Francisco International Airport. Andy lowered his hood, wrapped his hoodie tightly, took four bodyguards off the ladder, quickly passed the business corridor, left the airport lobby, and sat in Blair, who had been waiting for a long time. Bring the car.
"Are you ready?" Andy asked Blair as soon as he got on the bus.
"Well, it's already arranged, boss, do you go back to the hotel first, or go to the new company to take a look first, the office building of the new company has been packed up, all kinds of office supplies have been prepared, and all new recruits have been notified. The employees will go to work tomorrow, and now there are only six or seven executives in the new company. "
"Let's go to the new company first, because the acquisition of" Newsweek "and the removal of think tanks, thanks to you in the new company." Andy said to Blair with a smile.
Blair shook his head and chuckled. To him, this kind of thing is not troublesome, but it is a bit cumbersome. Besides, specific people have their own people to do it, and what he does is just planning and coordination.
In a 10-story building with a glass exterior like three slices of toast bread in Silicon Valley, Andy looks around the spacious and bright office lobby.
The outer wall is made up of floor-to-ceiling windows. There is no compartment on the entire floor, and the office environment is completely open. Even Andy does not have a separate office. This is what he requested. It company must have it company. Characteristic, free, relaxed and unrestrained.
The rest area, discussion area, food area, diversion area, and game area are quite well-equipped. Although it is a new company, Andy has complete development ideas and plans. He does not like the studio of three or five people and then slowly counterattacks. He is not short of money, and the products in his hands have basically taken shape. What the new company has to do is to improve the software, upgrade for subsequent versions, product promotion, and system management.
At the start-up stage of the new company, Andy relies on its own capital to directly skip the Silicon Valley ecosystem. It does not need to incubate its own products through the innovation center, and it does not need to introduce the original angel round and seed round due to lack of funds. v Investment.
The funds are sufficient, the company department, equipment is complete, and the personnel composition is complete. The software to be developed has completed the compilation of the source code. A solid foundation has been laid. Now a group of code farmers are needed to help him further improve the product. Before the product and market are docked, he introduces innovative talents to free up his energy and time.
When all new employees received their identity cards the next day, they stepped onto the floor of Liberty City Technology Co., Ltd. and looked at the stylish and simple, technologically-renovated office space, which are not comparable to those of Silicon Valley startups. of.
To be honest, Silicon Valley startups generally don't appear in the area of newly built buildings, which are more like a village, with buildings not exceeding three floors.
When Andy wore a hooded slacks and board shoes in front of everyone, all the new employees were full of intimacy, because the vast majority of people present were casual clothes, jeans, sneakers, and few people in suits The appearance of leather shoes is here.
"Hello everyone, I'm your boss, Andy Smith, okay, someone should know me, after all, I've been very hot lately, haha."
After confirming that all the staff members were there, Andy walked to the middle of the office hall, looked around at the crowd, and first made a joke of self-deprecation to ease the strangeness of each other.
After seeing the staff put a large tablet behind them, Andy played with the marker in his hand, calmly and confidently continued with a smile: "I'm a writer, well, and a rich billionaire , But at the same time I was a college student in the counting machine department. I developed an application for communication between mobile phones. I called it hatsapp (Watsp)! "
Andy introduced with a smile, turned around on the writing board behind him, and wrote a hatsapp with a marker.
"This is an application that can be used by all mobile phones and smartphone users to communicate with each other on the market. With the help of push notification services, this application can instantly receive information sent by relatives, friends and colleagues. To use the hatsapp program to send and receive messages, pictures, audio files and video messages. "
Andy writes a word without saying a function, and finally draws a circle with a small tail in the upper middle position, and in the middle is a pattern of a telephone microphone.
"This is the software product that our company is going to launch! Before the company was established, I had already completed the source code writing of the software, and a few people had to close the shutters ..."
Andy walked to the forefront, slowly lowered a curtain from above the ceiling, the projector was turned on, and the light beam was projected on the curtain.
"This is the initial model of the software, and of course it is a bit rough. Next, everyone's work is to further improve it to make it even better. At the same time, we need to convert the application version of different mobile programs. We have reached a cooperation agreement with Apple "Wattspo, based on Apple's iso system, will be embedded in the AI crazy smartphone that went on sale in July."
Looking at each of the young faces with shadows, but full of excitement, Andy knew that there were many people with dreams in Silicon Valley to start a business, and more of them wanted to join a company with potential and future excellence to accompany the company Grow together, get shares, and make the company go public through everyone's efforts to achieve their own pursuit of wealth.
"Guys, we don't have enough time, but I believe that everyone who is sitting is an elite in it. You can sit here, which shows your own excellence. After all, the recruitment requirements of my Minister of Human Resources are Very harsh, welcome to join my dream world! "
Andy's voice fell, the audience applauded and cheered. Just this morning, a new it company was formally established and operated in this technology center in Silicon Valley.
The department is complete, and all positions are complete. This is also the first time that Andy is facing a company of his own without an assistant, and it is a new company that is unfamiliar to each other.
There was no rush to get everyone to start work, but everyone sat around according to the functional groups that were divided when recruiting, and Andy explained to you in detail the development idea of this application software, future prospects, and what he ultimately wanted to make Software-implemented application functions.
Everyone listened in great detail, and did not understand or doubted, and directly raised without any concerns. The charm of Silicon Valley lies in this. The collision of ideas with each other in an environment of equality, freedom, and looseness creates new sparks.
Andy is not the kind of person who holds the success stories of previous lives and does not understand the flexibility. He also needs new ideas and good ideas. He likes this entrepreneurial feeling, which makes him full of excitement, solidity and practicality.
