"I'll wait for you to come to the capital, so make your preparations early!" Jiang Yizhou thought it was surprisingly easy to persuade someone, feeling quite pleased. "By the way, do you have a passport? After the Spring Festival, I plan to take the main team to the United States. Our main battlefield will be overseas from now on!"
Zhang Xiaolong was surprised to find that the overseas work mentioned in the letter was actually true. He felt a bit happy but quickly returned to a neutral expression. "Yes, I still have my passport."
Jiang Yizhou straightforwardly shared Song Rushi's contact information, including her phone number and email address. "Just contact her; she is responsible for the company's daily management. I'll brief her on everything!"
He knew he had many shortcomings and chose a suitable path to avoid them. Being a leader and a boss made things much easier; otherwise, it would probably take him three or four months just to get a passport, not to mention preparing and managing the company.
After chatting with Zhang Xiaolong for a while, he realized they were on a long-distance call and apologetically hung up.
He walked to Song Rushi's office, knocked on the door, and pushed it open. "Sister Rushi, I hope I'm not interrupting you!"
Song Rushi was already used to this; after all, Jiang Yizhou was like half a steward to her. She appreciated his attitude of treating her as one of his own. Such trust was something every professional manager hoped for.
"Well, do you have any new ideas? I'm listening!" Song Rushi took out a clever notebook, ready to jot down his thoughts.
Jiang Yizhou pulled over a chair, sat back in it, and casually said, "It's nothing major; I plan to acquire a free email software and recruit its developer to continue working on it here."
Song Rushi exaggeratedly opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound, her hands frozen.
Jiang Yizhou continued, "By the way, the software is called Fail, and the developer is Zhang Xiaolong. I offered him 50,000 yuan to acquire Fail and asked him to be the Product Manager for the Email Project. The compensation will be according to regulations; his contact information is..."
Song Rushi had no idea what was happening. Although she held a management position, such significant changes—establishing a new project team? Did this man really think this was child's play? Making such a big decision on a whim?
"Can you explain the reason to me?" Song Rushi took off her glasses, stood up from her seat, and asked seriously, word by word.
"Of course I think it's necessary, and I made it clear from the beginning that I can listen to you regarding daily management, but when it comes to development direction and product updates, those are not within your scope!" Jiang Yizhou said indifferently. He had his reasons for doing so, and did he really not have even this little bit of authority?
Song Rushi still wasn't used to Jiang Yizhou's unconventional ideas, but who made him the boss? She could only advise him a little and report the situation to other superiors.
"Alright, I'll handle it. But don't you think your way of doing things is too..." Song Rushi paused for a moment and concluded, "too disorganized?"
She looked at Jiang Yizhou with some concern. This had always been her worry about the internal issues of the company; it wasn't a personnel problem—if someone was unqualified, they could just be dismissed and replaced. However, the soul of the company, its founder, was truly perplexing in his approach.
Jiang Yizhou had many shortcomings; he didn't understand management and easily trusted others. He acted on whims and could easily overturn decisions he had made.
But fortunately, he recognized his mistakes. Moreover, what he did was mostly correct; at least he hadn't been caught up by newcomers. Instead, the gap only widened, thanks to the highly scalable structure Jiang Yizhou established from the very beginning. Even as the English version grew from thousands to hundreds of thousands of users, the original framework remained applicable.
When a person continues to succeed, every word they say carries significant weight, making it hard for others to refute them. In this company, aside from what Jiang Yizhou relied on, not many dared to question him.
"What's so strange about that? I handed over management and execution to you all so that I could free myself up to do something interesting!" Jiang Yizhou had long recognized this point. To avoid making mistakes himself, he delegated management authority to his subordinates while leaving supervision to them; he was responsible for product development and strategic growth.
Noticing that Song Rushi didn't understand, Jiang Yizhou explained his reasoning further. "Sister Ru Shi, let me share my thoughts with you!"
"What was the main form of the Internet before Qi came out?"
Without hesitation, Song Rushi replied, "Mailboxes, portals, forums... and search engines!"
Jiang Yizhou nodded and smiled, "In my opinion, the essence of the Internet is a tool that connects people and information. Instant Messaging is a typical point-to-point connection method, and similar to it is Mailbox. The reason I want to acquire Mailbox is because their user overlap is significant, which will also increase user stickiness!"
He had not focused on profits from the beginning but rather on understanding users. Although Song Rushi, who had worked in Silicon Valley, might not fully grasp his thoughts, it was not difficult for her to understand.
User overlap is a risky matter. Even to ensure existing users, according to Jiang Yizhou's approach, Mailbox is essential. The next question is how the acquisition of this fail he intends to pursue will turn out; however, it should be quite good if he has taken an interest in it!
After acknowledging this point, all she could do was try her best to understand and execute Jiang Yizhou's orders.
"Do you have a suitable candidate to take over my position?" Song Rushi suddenly threw out this question, leaving Jiang Yizhou momentarily at a loss.
After pretending to think for a while, Jiang Yizhou tossed the question back, "You find someone first and try to choose a candidate before Lantern Festival. As for me, I'll look as well!"
What he wanted domestically was stability—advancing in an orderly manner and subtly occupying the domestic market since there were no competitors anyway.
However, when it comes to candidates, why not simply bring over Station Master Ma, who is still operating the Huido site in Deep City? This way, turning future uncertainties into advantages? Jiang Yizhou thought seriously about this idea; it indeed seemed good, but he was unsure if it would succeed.
Let's do it. He returned to his office, opened his computer, and found Ma Ge's contact information at the site.
