We all have similar backgrounds. We are also in an unfamiliar environment and have experienced a lot of changes in half a year. There will be a lot to talk about.
After the conversation was almost over, Zhou Xin also revealed the main purpose of his meeting with Cao Yongluo this time:
"Lao Cao, have you ever used our company's products?"
“I have used it, and I also bought Angry Birds, which is very unique.
Fun is relative. The most important thing is that it has its own characteristics. Compared with other games, it is easier and more interesting. Can it be changed to pigs and birds?
I always feel that the red bird is meaner than the green pig. "
Zhou Xin laughed: "Have you seen our electronic community?
There are many players in the Angry Birds forum who have similar ideas to you. "
Cao Yongluo nodded and said, "I've seen it.
The expressions inside are also very creative. Basically, many emotions that cannot be described in words can be expressed accurately using expressions directly. "
Zhou Xin said directly: "Then you should know that there are administrators and auditors in each section of the electronic community."
"Know."
“In addition to these, there are also people who post specifically.
That is to say, specifically post some posts that can attract netizens.
Internally we call them irrigation personnel.
For example, a post said that my father-in-law had three wives.
Another post said that I had three mothers-in-law this year. But it’s not me who is great, it’s my father-in-law who is great.
Which post do you find more attractive? "
"The one at the back."
“Yes, a powerful irrigation person knows how to accurately drip irrigation. He only needs to post a post to trigger a large number of user discussions.
They are also irrigation workers, and some need to rely on quantity, such as posting dozens of posts. "
Cao Yongluo suddenly realized: "No wonder your electronic community is so popular.
Not only because you have a first-mover advantage, but also because you hire people to create a steady stream of content.
Content is the key to retaining users in electronic communities. "
"Yes, you got the key to the problem.
But the problem now is that with more and more users, more users means that the interesting content posted by users will grow rapidly.
But there is still a need for posters to contribute content in some less active sections.
You know Amerikan's labor is very expensive.
And there are very few people with similar abilities.
Our needs are great and there are few who can meet the requirements.
So I want to put this piece in China.
In other words, a branch company was established in China to be responsible for posting on the Riot Games electronic community, managing community content, and doing some audit work.
This is an industry that currently does not exist, and I need someone capable enough to help me build a branch in China.
Not only in China, but also in America, there is no similar industry.
If I had to find a benchmark, it would be a bit like the author of the Storytelling Club.
But the author of the Story Club is incapable of managing a company well, let alone building one from scratch.
I have no connections in China, so I would like to ask if you have any similar candidates, or if you know which headhunting companies in China are good enough to help me find the right person. "
In the early stage, the Huaguo branch only had the purpose of recruiting posting personnel to reduce labor costs.
But in the long run, Zhou Xin needs a team that will return to China in the future, as well as a tentacle that will continue to invest and acquire in China in the future.
Therefore, it is crucial to help him establish the founder of the company in China.
Cao Yongluo fell into deep thought: "I would like to ask what kind of treatment you can offer?"
Zhou Xin said: "Five hundred thousand RMB, half of which is fixed salary, the other half is floating performance, and there is an additional two hundred thousand RMB as an excess reward. The excess reward part will be set for him at the beginning of each year.
In other words, the salary is divided into three parts, 25+25+20. Performance and excess rewards can be written into the contract. There will be a clear provision and there will not be too much room for ambiguity.
I can tell you the bottom line, that is, I just met with Mr. Bill Gates yesterday, and he was willing to acquire Riot Games for US$500 million.
I didn't agree, but I will accept Microsoft's investment.
At least you don't have to worry about money.
At the same time, Riot Games is already profitable. "
Cao Yongluo swallowed. This salary was definitely a high salary in China in 1998.
Executives of some large multinational companies in China only get this amount.
(This is estimated based on the annual income of graduates of New York University Law School in 1998 being US$91,000. Employees of the Big Four accounting firms in New York had an annual salary of approximately US$30,000 when they first joined the company.)
"RMB or US dollars?" he joked.
"Currently I can only provide salary in RMB, but there is a possibility that it will be priced in US dollars in the future."
"I'll go back during the Chinese New Year to help you find out if you have any more specific requirements?"
"No, this person is really hard to find, and my requirements will be very non-standard.
Unlike accounting, auditing, and finance, it has a set of internationally accepted standards.
This is an unprecedented industry, and he needs to welcome his first company to the helm.
You help me screen some resumes and give them to me, and I choose the right ones from the resumes.
If you are not free or don’t know me, you can introduce the relevant headhunting company to me.
The specific interview will be conducted online first, then I will go out to return the plane ticket, and the other party will come to Los Angeles and go online once.
If you help me find the right person, I will give you 10% of the person's annual salary as a reward, which is 70,000 RMB.
Don't be too busy saying no. "
Zhou Xin saw Cao Yongluo waving his hand and added:
"I will trouble you with many things in the future. This is an exchange of interests. Although we are friends, we cannot let your help go in vain.
A friendship based solely on giving cannot last long.
And to me now, 70,000 RMB is just a small thing. "
Zhou Xin’s words convinced the other party, and Cao Yongluo did not refuse: “Okay.
I'm very moved by the remuneration you offered, 700,000 RMB, which is comparable to the salary of McKinsey's executives in China.
With such a high salary, someone must be willing to come.
Let me help you look for it.
It will definitely be a top talent. "
In fact, there is someone in Zhou Xin's heart who is suitable for this job. He knows him, but he doesn't know him.
That was Xiao Ma, the later founder of the Goose Factory.
As a top community product manager and top entrepreneur, it is no exaggeration to say that I can do this with ease.
There is another reason, that is, Zhou Xin wants to find some people with enough energy, but the energy behind Xiao Ma is not enough.
Only people with enough energy can help him get involved in the establishment of SMIC two years later at some point.
