The several jobs of Wu Tao in his previous life are actually the roles closest to the technical staff, so he knows his mind best about these people.

As long as there is hope and there is work to do, there will be nothing.

However, after the project briefing was over, the thoughtful Bill followed Wu Tao back to the office and asked seemingly inadvertently: "Boss, the Internet stock market is in a slump nowadays. Will SkyScape still have a chance to go public in the future?"

As the person in charge, Bill clearly thought more than the R&D staff below.

Wu Tao raised his eyebrows, "Of course, SkyScape is the first Internet technology company I strongly promote. IPO is only the first step. In the future, it will become a high-quality stock in the stock market, and even become a technology company led by market value. Target!"

When Bill heard this, he was shocked secretly, the boss of China, he was more ambitious and courageous than himself.

All selfish thoughts in my heart are gone right now.

In this extraordinary period, it is better to do a good-paying job honestly and get through the difficulties.

After all, even if he came out and worked **** his own, he might not be able to withstand this sluggish environment.

It would be better to enjoy the cool under the tree of Tianqi Investment.

"Why, Bill, do you have other ideas?" Wu Tao tapped with words under observation of his words and expressions.

Bill shook his head repeatedly: "NONONO! I have no idea at all."

After sending Bill away, Wu Tao called Jim Fellman over in the name of understanding the progress of the project.

This tall, thin, bearded white man has a technical vision and accumulation, and he has a match with Bill Babbitt, and deserves to be promoted and cultivated.

Be prepared anyway.

After contacting the core technology director, Wu Tao focused on the financial statements here, and got a general understanding of the invested capital since its establishment, and ended his inspection at SkyScape.

In the afternoon, Wu Tao had a buffet lunch at SkyScape, and he went to the Facebook company not far away.

Due to multiple joint holdings, Facebook's ostentation is obviously larger than SkyScape, with three independent office buildings forming a lush courtyard.

The first CEO of Facebook was Rick Iverson, the former head of operations from Oracle Software.

When Wu Tao saw this guy, he realized that this tall and thin white man actually possessed the refined temperament of Chinese Confucianism.

In his early thirties, being able to be promoted to the position of supervisor in a veteran software company with a solidified organizational structure is a testament to this person's ability.

After the two parties met, Rick took the initiative to introduce other senior executives of the Facebook team to Wu Tao.

Chief Financial Officer CFO Zhou Li is a 36-year-old middle-aged Chinese who was dispatched by Wu Yingying from Tianqi Investment's Los Angeles branch. So when Zhou Li met Wu Tao, he was obviously more affectionate than the others.

After all, he is his own.

As for COO Courteney Green and Chief Information Officer Bright Taylor, they are all from the Ivy League University, as well as veteran technicians with glamorous resumes.

The interior layout of Facebook is not so much a company as a mecca of inspiration.

Regardless of the functional layout or the division of floors, Facebook has not followed the traditional horizontal, vertical, and regular.

On the contrary, walkways, terraces, and even a bonsai are used to divide the wide office area to form a relatively independent functional area. It seems to have the background of a modern Loft factory, but it is obviously much taller.

In the end, the first meeting between Wu Tao and the executives was held in a semi-open conference room.

Sitting on the main seat, Wu Tao can not only see the performance of the participants, but also the movement downstairs and even other areas on the same floor.

After observing all this, Wu Tao returned his attention to the conference room, only to find that everyone's interest did not seem to be very high.

Interrupting Rick’s speech at the moment: “I’m sorry, Rick, I have to interrupt. I found that everyone’s interest doesn’t seem to be very high. Can I know why?”

Once this question was raised, the venue quieted strangely.

Compared to the loud noises, Wu Tao is most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.

It seems that Facebook's current problems are not small, at least this management staff has different minds and there is a big deviation in consciousness.

Fortunately, I came early enough, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous if we continue to develop like this.

After a brief silence, Courteney, as the chief operating officer, broke the deadlock first.

This middle-aged woman in her thirties was specially hired by the Quantum Fund to which Molly belongs.

"Mr Wu, you should know that once a website like Facebook goes online, the most important thing is to promote and accumulate users, right?"

Wu Tao nodded, "I know, you are right."

Courteney continued: "As for the companies and products on the market that have similar social functions to us, there are probably only AOL's icq and Microsoft's indosMessenger."

Wu Tao listened and remembered, but from Courteney’s tone, it was obvious that this woman had come prepared.

It seems that the shortcomings of cutting off the operating budget a while ago have finally been exposed.

"Neither AOL nor Microsoft is where Facebook can easily contend. AOL has a wide range of business and has a good user base when promoting icq software. Not to mention Microsoft, directly packaged indosMessenger and IE, users Growth is even more unprofitable."

"...As far as I know, icq currently has more than 20 million users, while indosMessenger was a little later and reached about 10 million. But our Facebook, which has been online for five months, has not registered more than 3 million users! This It’s worth our reflection, isn’t it?"

Courteney sat down after talking about the question.

The right to speak was lost to Wu Tao, and he couldn't stop speaking at this time.

Otherwise, the management team that originally doubted his authority would take him even less seriously.

Wu Tao touched the desk with the pen in his hand and said: "Everyone, I appreciate this question raised by Courteney very much. Let's briefly analyze it. IndosMessenger relies on IE's user base to reach such a high level in a short time. Let's not talk about it yet."

"...Let's take icq for example. As far as I know, when AOL acquired icq ~lightnovelpub.net~ it already had a user base of 10 million. AOL took over the remaining 10 million growth. The credit for the future. So everyone, do you know how much operating costs they invested to achieve this achievement?"

Courteney is dear to this, "30 million US dollars."

“Yes, it’s 30 million U.S. dollars! This is actually low efficiency compared to our investment of 5 million U.S. dollars to reach 3 million users. This shows that marketing and operations are not as good as more investment, at least for For the past six months, it's like this."

Everyone was lost in thought, and Rick immediately asked: "Boss, Courteney and I have different ideas. I heard that Facebook's product ideas came from Huaxia's school intranet. I am worried that this idea does not apply to different cultural foundations. European and American countries."

"Rick, I can't agree with your point of view." In this regard, Wu Tao's attitude was clear-cut.

"...First of all, the initial promotion of a website and product is the slowest growth stage. And Facebook's ability to reach 3 million users in just five months demonstrates its social identity."

"...Secondly, even if the cultural foundations of China and Western countries are different, the attributes of social interaction are the same. As for the differences in products, this requires you to track and adjust. In my opinion, China's netizens, I prefer the text on the school’s website; then, will Facebook netizens like the above photo sharing more..."
