Chapter 107 [The soldiers are divided into two ways, the first foodie]
Yang Rui and Thomas flew to Los Angeles and met Thomas's friends at Columbia University, Ilf Rosenberg, Hannah McFarlin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Both found jobs in Los Angeles after graduation, and both were small white-collar workers. During the meal, Thomas showed them Yang Rui's plan, and the two immediately decided to resign and join the "Facebook" company that was to be established.
Top students in the Department of Economics at Columbia University can naturally see the potential of the IT industry, and the rise is unstoppable.
Half of the top 10 most lucrative jobs in the world will come from the IT industry, and people's lives in the future will be inseparable from the Internet.
Creativity is important in the IT industry, and some companies rely on a good idea to succeed. Now, Yang Rui has more than one good idea.
Entrepreneurship also requires people who can do things, and strong leaders can have the tenacity to overcome one obstacle after another. In the minds of friends, Thomas Bentley is clearly that kind of person. He is an orphan, and no matter how hard and poor he was when he was young, he was able to overcome the negative emotional influence and keep moving forward.
Ilf and Hannah are good at planning marketing strategies, and they are also indispensable if they want the company to grow.
The two had a meal with Yang Rui, and their impression of him completely changed, and they couldn't find any shadow of Jerry back then, they were completely different people.
They were surprised to find that Jerry, who used to be submissive, is now covering Thomas, the idea is what he wants, and the initial capital to invest to start the company is also from him.
made an appointment with a friend to cooperate, and Thomas and Yang Rui went non-stop to register a new company.
Silicon Valley is located in the northern part of California, the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, and is another name for the Santa Clara Valley in California, where high-tech businesses gather. It was originally a place where silicon-based semiconductor chips were researched and produced, hence the name.
It is the kingdom of today's electronics industry and computer industry, the pioneer of high-tech technology innovation and development, the region's venture capital accounts for one-third of the total venture capital in the United States, and the number of computer companies located in Silicon Valley has grown to more than 1,000.
Opening a company here is very simple, find an address, think of three names (two spare), go to the Santa Clara County government to register, and finally go to the state government to register and fill out the form, and complete the whole process.
The company's name is "Facebook", and Yang Rui explained: "The first thing I want everyone to do when they turn on the computer in the future is to log in to the Minion account and see the Minion's face." As for books, no matter what era they are in, in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, the most important thing is books, which people can never live without. ”
In fact, he gave this name just because he was lazy. In the previous life, Facebook was too good, and it was plagiarized directly, so I didn't have to rack my brains to think about the name again. As for what Zuckerberg will become in the future, he doesn't care.
The location of the company is set on the third floor of a small office building, and the company has few people and a small scale for the time being, so it does not need much space.
It is a must in Silicon Valley, easy to operate, and next to Stanford University, a famous talent base.
Stanford University laid a solid foundation for the formation and rise of Silicon Valley, producing leaders in high-tech products and entrepreneurial talents, including founders of Hewlett-Packard, Yahoo, Nike, Logitech, Cisco, and others.
After the interview, the company finally formed a team of seven people, and the selected people were all young and energetic.
Talent is the ultimate driver behind great ideas, and if you have a group of people on your startup team who are not passionate and resourceful, they can be the seeds of failure.
Thomas knew that he couldn't get bigger in one go, so he made a plan to concentrate on developing chat software first, and then compete with similar products for users, and then promote the implementation of larger plans when the user adhesion was high, step by step.
He talked about the original idea, and several programmers said that it was easy to get it done.
The programming of communication software is actually very simple, and the same is true of the operating system, the difficulty is to come up with ideas, come up with ways to make money, and a complete set of systems. Yang Rui did the most difficult work, and the rest was for professionals to realize the idea.
The company was successfully opened, Thomas was the legal person of the company, and the major shareholder filled in the "Blessed People Company Investment". didn't use Yang Rui's name, he didn't want to be on the financial news, for fear of being said to be unprofessional in the basketball world, and he still wanted to go to the top in the NBA.
The company purchased computers, desks, and immediately developed the Minion chat software as the first project. Now the company doesn't have to pull investment, and the chat software can't burn much money.
The two will live in Toronto in the future, Ilf is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company, Hannah is in charge of assisting, and both are professional managers.
Yang Rui's team Ilf is reassured, this is a typical white nerd, very skinny, with glasses. As soon as he saw him, Yang Rui's first thought was Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire, before being bitten by a spider. This kind of person who is honest at first glance can't do bad things.
After finishing the company's affairs in two weeks, Yang Rui returned to New York alone, and the reality show was officially put on the agenda. Thomas stayed in Silicon Valley, splitting his arms into two ways.
The company has just been established, and if the manager is indifferent to the operation, it will affect morale. Programmers are paid $2,000 a month, and Thomas doesn't want to see anyone lazy.
With no movie or TV series to film, Melanie values this reality show and hopes to increase Scarlett's exposure and popularity. She doesn't think that reality shows will affect her daughter's image, Americans love food, and girls with good appetites are cute.
After this period of discussion and planning, the crew decided to visit 19 eastern states and Washington, D.C., and the host tasted the civilian specialties of each state, combined with tourism, and took the audience to appreciate the food culture.
They don't go to high-end restaurants, and simple and cheap food can attract more audiences, because Michelin restaurants are not affordable for ordinary people.
Yang Rui happily signed a contract to be the guest host of the first season and brought funds into the group. The show will be broadcast on NBC Radio's food channel, and as long as it works well, it will shoot a second and third seasons in the future......
Founded in 1926, NBC is one of the three major commercial radio and television companies in the United States, headquartered in New York, and is the oldest and most powerful commercial radio and television company in the United States, producing a large number of news, sports entertainment programs and TV series every year. At present, the most popular TV series "Friends" is produced by this radio station.
The program was finally named "A Bite of America", because Yang Rui provided the big structure of the program, he became a "co-planner", enjoying part of the copyright, as long as the filming continues, he can also participate in dividends in the future.
Obtaining so many benefits was something Yang Rui never expected, and now his interests are tied to the Johnson family.
If it weren't for Scarlett's grandfather Einar to come forward, Yang Rui would not have been adopted creatively, he is only the creator of the program in name, and the key is to rely on the influence of the Johnson family.
He is very much looking forward to the start of the reality show, and soon, he can be called the number one foodie in basketball.
PS: Today is also the third watch, chapter 2 at 11 o'clock. The protagonist is not a robot, he can't do nothing but basketball, and he can't jump directly from June to February '99, I don't know what readers like to run accounts, I personally don't like it. The reality show is about the important plot after that, so there must be, and I will explain it here.
