The interview begins.
"Hello Mr. Lin, the news of Tencent's acquisition of Fruit Ninja has been trending online these past two days, and you and your Xingchen Technology have also become the focus of the industry. Could you share your entrepreneurial experience?"
"I developed Fruit Ninja when I graduated from high school. By chance, I saw a fruit shop employee making fruit platters with amazing knife speed, and I suddenly got the inspiration to make this game. I never expected so many people to like it. I am very grateful for the support of the players. Moreover, when developing this game, I asked my senior from Jiaotong University, who is now the vice president of Xingchen Technology, for help. She also provided strong support for subsequent updates. So, the two of us put our minds together and that's how Xingchen Technology came about."
"It seems that President Lin and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have a special connection."
"Yes, Shanghai Jiao Tong University has always been my dream university. After arriving here, I discovered that the school's faculty and environment are top-notch in China. I welcome everyone to apply."
"Mr. Lin, may I ask you a rather personal question? Did Tencent really spend 500 million to acquire Fruit Ninja?"
"Yes, it is indeed 500 million."
"Wow, that's a lot of money. After selling Fruit Ninja, does Star Technology have any new projects?"
"Yes, but the project is still under development, so we'll keep it confidential for now. Since we're here, let me take this opportunity, through our news center, to ask if there are any outstanding computer science students in our school who would like to work at Xingchen Technology. If so, please come to the Xingchen Technology office in the Entrepreneurship Center for a detailed discussion. Thank you."
The interview ended there. Lin Chen and An Rou went up to the second floor together. Instead of going back to their own offices, Lin Chen went to the Ele.me office across the hall.
"Xiaoxiao, your dear CEO Lin is back. Quickly make me a cup of coffee."
Liu Xiaoxiao stood up and made coffee for Lin Chen and An Rou: "President Lin, did you really earn 500 million?"
"It's just a small amount of money, nothing to mention. Here, Xiaoxiao, this is a gift for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin." Liu Xiaoxiao took the handbag from Lin Chen, opened it, and saw a bracelet inside. "Wow, it's so beautiful, Mr. Lin, you're so kind."
Sitting on the other side, Zhang Xuhao was so envious of the 500 million that he almost cried. He originally thought that Lin Chen was already very rich with 100 million in his account, but he didn't expect Lin Chen to make another 500 million. If Ele.me had that much money, it would have crushed Xiao Yezi long ago, instead of fighting back and forth with her.
However, seeing that there were still more than four million in the account, Zhang Xuhao smiled, "The advantage is mine."
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect to see you at the company. It's so rare to see you here."
"Hehe, Mr. Lin, congratulations."
"How's business going?"
"No problem, everything is under control. Xiaoyezi won't survive this winter. Besides, Mr. Lin, I've discovered a new trend: group buying! I plan to enter the group buying market after acquiring Xiaoyezi..."
Before Zhang Xuhao could finish speaking, Lin Chen quickly interrupted, "No, you don't want to!"
Zhang Xuhao: "I..."
“Listen to me, you don’t want to, you don’t want to do group buying at all. Just focus on your food delivery business. You haven’t even conquered the university town yet. Once you’ve conquered the university town, then the business district, then Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, you’ll be busy all the time. Group buying is something even a dog wouldn’t do.”
After listening to Lin Chen's clear plan for the future of his food delivery business, Zhang Xuhao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, you're right. Ele.me does have a long way to go."
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "You're trying to get into group buying now? It's like looking for trouble. The group buying war is coming soon. With Ele.me's resources, it won't even last a day. You know, during the group buying war, the entire market burned through 7 billion yuan, and only Meituan survived."
After greeting Ele.me, Lin Chen took the Nestlé instant coffee that Liu Xiaoxiao had made for him back to his office, turned on his computer, and began typing out the code for Huasuan.com line by line from his mind.
An Rou was contacting her classmates to see what those students with good grades were doing now and whether they would be willing to come to Xingchen Technology.
The two of them were busy until noon when Lin Chen's stomach growled. He put down his keyboard, stretched, and said, "Senior, are you hungry? Let's go eat."
"Boss, I have several classmates who want to try their luck here after hearing that our game sold 500 million."
"Sure, you can be in charge of the interviews. If you think they're the most suitable, then keep the two who are selected."
"I?"
"Yes, you are Vice President An."
"Ahem, boss, there are only two of us in our company, General Manager Lin and Vice President An. Is this really appropriate?"
"What's wrong with it? Eleme has a lot of users, but do they have as much money as we do?"
Zhang Xuhao had just stepped out of his office, ready to go out and discuss business, when he heard Lin Chen's words. His face immediately darkened, and he knocked on Xingchen Technology's office door: "President Lin, next time you're talking badly about us, keep your voice down. I heard you all over the hallway."
"Uh, cough cough, sorry, I couldn't help it for a moment, I'll be gentler next time."
"Will there be a next time?" Zhang Xuhao walked away with a dark face.
"Where were we? Oh right, once you recruit people, our company will be more than just the two of us. We'll definitely grow bigger and stronger and create new glories."
"Boss, I feel like I've stumbled into a pyramid scheme?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're the vice president, you need to pay attention to the company's image. Our first step is to hire two graphic designers. I can write the website code myself, but I can't do graphic design, so we'll have to rely on you guys."
"The second step is to recruit two computer science majors, preferably those who specialize in algorithm research."
"The third step is to cultivate our own marketing team, spend money on advertising, expand brand awareness, and build a user base."
"Okay, I understand. I'll call them over for the interview this afternoon."
"Alright, let's go, senior, I'm starving."
"Let's go to the cafeteria and have some braised noodles. I'm telling you, it's delicious."
"Okay, you're a foodie, so I'll listen to you."
"Boss, who are you calling a foodie? I'm a gourmet."
In the cafeteria, Lin Chen wolfed down his noodles, which were bigger than his face. An Rou asked, "By the way, boss, how should I talk to the interviewers about the company's benefits?"
"The probationary period is three months, with a salary of 3,000 yuan and a working hours of 9 to 5. After being officially hired, the basic salary is 6,000 yuan, and bonuses are paid according to the company's performance."
