Born in 1969 to a businessman’s family in Washington, D.C., a top student of Harvard University, the current president and economist Lawrence Samos’s favorite pupil Shirley was his assistant when she was the vice president of the World Bank, and then Shirley, the finance minister of the Clinton administration, was invited to be the office owner.
It’s really interesting in this context. A good teacher has a good starting point.
Shirley came to Silicon Valley in 2 years to join Google Adsense and Adwrds. These advertising projects are all from her hand. She is absolutely inseparable from Google’s contribution to revenue. AOL made the Google engine all because of her.
What’s more interesting is that her husband Dave Goldberg is the vice president of Yahoo!
Without thinking, Chen Bo immediately asked the headhunter Shirley, a woman, to dig over and dig up her sworn enemy at no expense!
The financing meeting of investment banks is a dilemma. Before going any further, Chen Bo simply flew back to Sunnyvale. First, he couldn’t wait to meet the strong woman, and second, he wanted to discuss the share distribution plan and set up the board of directors.
Even if the market is not good, you have to do something, not only to explain to the investment bank, but also to appease the employees of the department
There are not many direct shareholders in the parent company ant search. P Foundation Kingdom Holdings plus Diana Heritage Fund, there are only three institutions in total, individual minority shareholders are Welsh and Hastings, and Nicholas and Zhang Yiming are the first two in exchange.
It’s only natural that the employees should be rewarded with share allotment. For example, Hoffman got $1.2 billion worth of common shares, and Chen Bo himself had $500 million worth of preferred shares. His executives had to gradually go out and create value in direct proportion to the shares.
The distribution of shares is carried out in an orderly way. How many shares does each employee who has worked in the company for more than one year have? If the distribution is good, the human resources and finance departments need to come up with a charter and think it over carefully.
Ant search is now the great cause of the family, and the employees directly under the ball have exceeded the name. All aspects should take care of this process, and it will take at least half a year to solve it.
However, Chen Bo has already separated Ant Search from the parent company first, and the official name of the new company registered in the Isles of Man has also been renamed Ant Technology Co., Ltd.
Sunnyvale’s series of actions naturally attracted several media attention, which was a signal that the market was coming.
Last year, Google’s revenue reached $300 million, and its net profit reached $900 million. This year, the stock market is even crazier, and its market value has exceeded $300 million. Now it ranks second in the search engine. Although the ants have not released financial reports, the participating investment banks have also got the relevant data.
Excluding the compensation for the sale of flive and Java contracts, the revenue in the first fiscal year was $1.7 billion, the net profit was $100 million, and the profit rate was more than ten points higher than that of Google.
The daily market revenue of North America, Greater China, Europe and Southeast Asia with the greatest contribution is not included in the financial report but included in the net investment assets statement.
Analysts at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities reported that the daily valuation of ants will be about US$ 100 million and will be officially listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in half a year. Nomura, Daiwa and Mitsubishi UFJ are responsible for underwriting.
17% shares of South Korean search engine Naver17% have been placed in the company name of Ant Day.
Yande, Russia is in the hands of European branch.
The Middle East and South America are all net investments, and they are still losing money, so they will not get rid of the profit situation in the short term.
Naturally, it is not difficult for the intentional media to find out these news, and there are also many investment banks who deliberately let out the wind to help build momentum. It is a commercial virtue, and they all want to make a fortune by the east wind after the market, otherwise who has the kindness?
The acquisition of e-mail is still in the dark for the time being. After all, nothing happened. Otherwise, the news will cause him to react again, which is not good for ants or investment banks. This has remained quite tacit.
Chapter 13 Two Female Executives (Happy National Day)
"Shirley, I am very satisfied with your resume. Ant Technology urgently needs an elite like you to join." The headhunter arranged for them to meet in a private cafe at the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco, away from Silicon Valley to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Chen Bo saved the greeting link and directly told the public that such a strong woman doesn’t like to talk about compliments.
"I appreciate that it is a very broad topic for you to change the world in your operation. You have been implementing this strategy. This is the reason why I am tempted. If you can’t come up with a plan that is attractive enough, it will be difficult for me to leave Google and change jobs to competitors, but it takes a lot of courage!"
Shirley wore a red chiffon dress and a short black skirt, stepped on a pair of ordinary middle-heeled shoes, and covered her snow-white neck with chestnut hair.
Different from Larry Page’s less confident tone, Meyer is a very fast-talking machine gun, and Shirley’s cadence can make foreign listeners like Chen Bo clearly distinguish Chinese words without having to work hard to adapt, which can be said to be very comfortable.
"I want you to come to Ant Technology, not to be responsible for the sales network or to make a financial report, but I hope you can accept more challenges in unknown fields."
"Unknown territory?"
"No one has done what you are not good at. Every step we take is to create the future and change the world."
"I might as well say specifically that your success has aroused my interest."
"range believes that I am planning to acquire this French company, and the financing is half completed. Now the Internet mainly relies on the brain. Even the lightest notes are not much more convenient than a mobile phone that can be directly put into your pocket. In the future, the Internet portal is destined to be mobile. Since it is a mobile terminal, it must be inseparable from mobile communication!"
"How dare you! It is very likely to drag ants into the abyss!" Shirley was surprised by his idea, but she was surprised. "However, it is an inevitable choice to continue to lay out the mobile terminal with AR absolute shares, but I didn’t expect it to be so fast."
"Yes, the Internet of Things, the mobile terminal, and cloud computing are the future troika. McLaren is not a toy for me, but an important part of the networking of test vehicles."
"The car is a large mobile terminal. You are really thinking!" Shirley couldn’t help sighing that both professional media and colleagues were puzzled by his repeated moves. If range was added, the last puzzle seemed to show his personal ambition.
This is to catch the future. If Google doesn’t change, it will soon die.
Shirley couldn’t help but worry about Google when she thought of this. She was so advanced that she had unconsciously woven a huge net to cover the whole Internet industry. Who can escape?
But excited about the future of ant technology, what role will she play in such a huge design?
"What do you need me to do?"
"You come to lead the Ant Science and Technology Line Division and take the responsibility of the CEO of range Letter and the director of the company! You can show your ability to your heart’s content! " Chen Bo threw her a heavy burden, which was much harder and more challenging than her Google job.
"Do you know that I am a feminist?" Shirley asked cautiously.
"Female? I don’t mind supporting you in your pursuit of women’s equality. If it’s not extreme, why can’t even black executives have female executives in my company? "
"Then I have no problem." Shirley has made up her mind after getting a satisfactory answer. She is not a procrastinator.
"I still have a question. You sign $20,000, and the annual salary is 50,000 euros. In the first year, it is $10,000. In the second year, it is $20,000. In the third year, it will increase by 15% every year."
Chen Bo pays the euro every year because range is a European company and because Nasdaq is an American stock market. Of course, the pricing method is different.
Nevertheless, in the first three years, the average salary should reach 20 thousand dollars before tax, and the income is only the sixth and seventh place
Terry semel, the president of Yahoo, can get 710,000 dollars a year, while bob simpson, the president of Crosberg Oil, gets 590,000 dollars, while Eric Schmidt, the president of Google, gets an annual salary of 1 dollar plus 170,000 shares to reward Hoffman with 150,000 dollars and a stock period of just over 30,000 dollars.
Chen Bo’s one-time salary is not counted, because he doesn’t have an annual salary and he doesn’t take his income on an annual basis. Her income mainly depends on the company’s market value growth. She is firmly in the position of the first female executive, which not only knocks down her opponent, but also keeps a good name and sends a signal to the market that the money is not bad. Google can’t give this confidence.
"NO, it’s not scientific. My ability matches my salary. It’s true. I also hope to earn more money. But for the company, high salary will make the department have a comparison mentality. I just need an annual salary of 50,000 euros plus stock period rewards. This is linked to my performance."
Shirley is obviously quite calm, and her salary has increased tenfold after job-hopping. Not only will anyone be moved, but the pay and the gain should be in direct proportion, and she is smart enough to choose to exchange stocks for annual salary, which means that she is optimistic about the future of the company.
"Then 70,000 issues in three years. In addition, you will have the exclusive business opportunity for McLaren to run a Boeing BBJ2."
Chen Bo is very satisfied with her performance, calm and self-aware, so that people will prove themselves, instead of considering their own income first. To a certain extent, the money is in the bank account. She needs a broader platform to show her talents and realize her ideals, which she has not concealed.
Although the salary has dropped, the stock has gone up, and the salary has been paid off at one time, but the stock can continue to make profits. It is true that she earned this cheap.
The two chatted for a while, only after the details of the acquisition of range were tapped, and she had to wait until she officially went through the resignation formalities from Google before signing the work contract.
Chen Bo has been sending her to the door until she takes the return bus before she plans to leave.
Of course he’s not afraid of being seen, and the more people he sees, the better. It’s more interesting to go to Page’s ears.
"Vincent?" As soon as I hit the car door, I heard a woman coming from the side. I couldn’t be more familiar with it.
"Hi Marisa! Long time no see, are you all right? " Chen Bo smiled and gave a close hug. She really hasn’t changed much. She is becoming more and more mature. After Google became a little rich woman, there are more and more famous brands.
"Fortunately, that was Shirley with you just now?" Meyer asked in some surprise.
"Your eyes are really good. Yes, that’s her." Chen Bo does not deny it.
"You?"
"Shirley will soon be an employee of our company," Chen Bo boasted. "Don’t you know that I am good at digging corners? If you agree, you can come to the company president’s position tomorrow and keep it for you. "
"Come on, you glib little girl."
"If you don’t believe me, we’ll see!" Chen Bo gave her a provocative expression and teased, "It’s not a date so late, is it? I heard that Paige is getting married soon. "
"A dog can’t spit ivory out of its mouth. Who wants to date that elm pimple? I bought an apartment on the top floor and came over for coffee."
"Wow, you really have money. You can’t get this penthouse without millions." Chen Bo teased.
"It’s not more than 50 thousand dollars, but the environment is really good."
"Since it’s so late, I won’t bother you to rest for the first time, and then I’ll make an appointment another day. Remember that my ants will keep a place for you and wait for you at any time."
"Hey, do you really want to dig Shirley?" Meyer shouted in front of his car
