Rebirth of America, this is my time

Alan, I have two important tasks here that need you to handle immediately.

You publish recruitment and cooperation information according to the requirements I wrote above.

Recruitment will be your sole responsibility. I only have one request, and that is that we must give priority to Stanford candidates if they have equal abilities.

After the partners are screened, they will report to me. After I evaluate them, you can go and talk.

Okay?

Two hours later, Ethan Jones called his financial director, Aaron Massey, into the office again and handed him the drafted document.

The sudden task made Alan Massey stunned. After he took the file and opened it, his concise words and straightforward demands made him nod repeatedly, Okay, Boss, I'll do it right away.

Without hesitation, he turned around and left.

A moment later, the conference room on the third floor of Destiny Games was filled with employees, and a serious voice came from the mouth of Allen Massey in front of the venue——

Now, I want to announce an executive order from the president.

Starting from today, our company's departmental structure will be adjusted...

Since Julis Noble has volunteered and wants to go to the book to taste freedom...ah, that's not right! It was Goben who exercised Ethan Jones' supervisory powers at Nintendo Chip Company. Then Ethan Jones, who couldn't find suitable dispatch manpower, naturally agreed.

With her departure, the adjustment of the company's structure was naturally put on the agenda.

In fact, the departmental structure of Destiny Game has always been very messy. In order to save money, the departmental structure of the startup company was like a grassroots team.

In the past, when the company was small, it was acceptable to be disorganized, but when it gets bigger, it must change. Clarifying job responsibilities and consolidating work responsibilities is something that all companies will emphasize.

Under Ethan's thinking, the headquarters of Destiny Games will have five departments: administration, personnel, marketing, finance, and research and development.

Finance and R\u0026D have not changed much. The former is still controlled by Aaron Massey, while the latter is divided into R\u0026D 1 and R\u0026D 2. R\u0026D 1 will manage the company's hardware research and development, such as consoles and optical storage. The person in charge is Evelyn Johnson. There are currently no employees in the department. R\u0026D 2 will be responsible for software development or game development, led by Damio. Dean is the leader and has a lot of employees.

As for administration, personnel and marketing, that is actually the splitting of the original administrative departments.

The administrative department led by Julis Noble before was able to contact customers at the top and receive guests at the bottom. This compound attribute of being able to be both civil and military was great, but it was too complicated. After the reorganization, the Administration Department only retained its own general functions and was only responsible for the management of the company's daily administrative affairs, recruitment work, training work, and employee performance calculations, all of which were handed over to the Human Resources Department, while they were originally responsible for customer contact. and maintenance work will be handled by the newly established marketing department.

This dismantling is for the future. Now that the research and development of home consoles has been carried out, the sales of supporting products must also be launched, and the sales of this thing are not the same as those of electronic arcades.

Let’s make a simple analogy: the latter is B2B. Destiny Games sells its products to North American theaters and small North American entertainment city merchants who are also merchants. The amount and number of transactions involved in each transaction are relatively stable. ; As for the former, it is B2C. Destiny Games needs to sell its products to consumers in North America, and this involves the issue of distribution. It needs to negotiate with electronic product stores and large shopping malls in America to let those Stores put their own products on the shelves.

The tug-of-war caused by this cannot be handled by ordinary administrative clerks. Communication with small electronic product stores in various places requires large-scale promotion. This form is actually establishing its own sales network in North America, so it must be Find a specialist to do it.

If Julis Noble doesn't leave, Ethan Jones will also reform. With Julis Noble gone, Ethan Jones won't have to consider whether his actions will remove her power when reforming.

Although the game of fate is Ethan's word, when Barbara, an amiable professor, will show his desires, if Ethan can't think differently, then he shouldn't do it.

The recruitment letter that Ethan handed over to Alan Massey mentioned this. In addition, he also needed a secretary who could help him collect all kinds of information, and the company also needed several drivers.

The partners he asked Allen Massey to look for involved two major aspects: legal affairs and finance. Although Stanford has provided legal support to their company in accordance with the student entrepreneurship plan in the past two years, when the local promotion negotiations begin, Stanford's law school teachers will definitely not be fully involved. They do not have the time. , and do not have the energy. When free prostitution does not work, it is inevitable to seek external cooperation.

After arranging the main affairs in the headquarters, Ethan quietly left the company and went to the factory in Milbida. When Thomas said that this place might have been targeted for a long time, Ethan wanted to come here to see what the factory had become after he let it go.

Oh Ethan, long time no see...

As soon as we got off the car, Michael Blanco, who was in charge of factory affairs, came up to us.

Perhaps because of his stable job and happy life, he is now much younger than before. His gray hair has regained its luster, and some of it has turned golden.

Everything is stable here at the factory, and the current number of employees is about to exceed 100.

But unfortunately, the oldest group has gone, and now I have become an old employee here.

Accompanied by Michael Blanco, Ethan visited the factory area.

There are five factories standing on the huge land, and ten workshops are evenly distributed among them. Employees in workshop A follow the pattern making steps demonstrated by Evelin before to produce circuit motherboards for electronic arcade machines. Employees in workshop B follow the pattern making steps that Evelin demonstrated before. After getting the freshly baked motherboard, we solder the main components such as chips and memory to the motherboard according to the requirements in the production manual. Since this work takes less time, after completion, they will also solder the motherboard containing the game Send it to the arcade box and complete the connection.

On the surface, the entire factory is running perfectly, but if you take a closer look, you will find that all employees here are wearing uniform camouflage uniforms.

Although this kind of look is common in any factory because the camouflage is strong and resistant to dirt, the faces of those around thirty years old can confirm something.

Are these veterans?

Ethan asked in a low voice while greeting them with a smile.

Yes. Michael Blanc nodded and said, They are all veterans who came here after hearing the news. Most of them know each other, or... they were brought to each other.

Then he explained: This matter is actually quite complicated. Do you remember last Christmas? I said that some friends were not having a good life. After learning that we had a stable job, they also wanted to come over to work. , when you agreed, I called them to come.

At first, we got along relatively easily, but later on, these people told me that they also had some friends who wanted to come over to work.

I thought it was just a few at first, so I agreed.

But now, they have brought forty-seven of them one by one.

Maybe it's because our formation scared those children, so...

They just ran away.

But that's good. Now that the staff is unified, it's easier to manage.

Oh, by the way, the new guys asked me to ask you, after they work for a while, can they also enjoy the benefits of building houses? If so, they also want to stay.

Now, there are no hippies left in Destiny Game’s Miapida factory.

Unlike the previous dismissals of those who complained, these people all resigned voluntarily.

Although the reasons for their resignation are varied and involve various aspects, even Michael Blanco knows that those reasons on paper are all false. The real reason is probably that they are afraid of veterans. The gathering of people made me feel like I was out of tune with this place.

And for this kind of behavior of pulling people together...

Ethan can understand, but he also has a headache.

His original intention was to provide a more respectable job for the comrades of the original owner's father, but now... why are there so many veterans gathered here?

Although judging from the current situation, these guys are working honestly.

But if all this falls in the eyes of outsiders, it will obviously be wrong, right?

Not to mention that these guys have been on the battlefield, they must have something in them that the normal public does not have. Just the professional military training these guys have received is a bit outrageous.

Other people's factories are full of miserable people who want to make a living, but in his factory, the workers can either fly a helicopter to make an emergency landing, or they can shoot birds with a batley?

It's normal to be stared at, and it's an accident not to be stared at, right?

Special code!

These people...should be fine, right? When Ethan came to Michael Blanco's office, he very carefully asked what was on his mind.

At the same time, he also opened the skylight and spoke frankly——

Michael, you are my father's comrades-in-arms. Because of this relationship, I will trust you unconditionally, but other people... let's be honest, they won't cause trouble for me, right?

Michael Blanc understood Ethan's worries and said with a smile: Oh Ethan - don't worry, I have reviewed all the people who come to work here, and I have rejected those who have PTSD.

I know this is your hard work, and I also know that this is our home. So...

We don't mess around.

Do not worry.

Seeing that Ethan remained silent, he patted his chest again and said, Come on!

I'm watching them!

We are all pathetic!

If something happens, I'll be responsible!

Ethan was relieved by Michael Blanco's serious attitude... Weird!

After inspecting the factory and returning home in the evening, he decisively went to his sister's villa.

After he described the matter clearly, Evelin also frowned deeply.

I think I understand why you just call someone names in the media and they come to us.

Me too. Ethan shrugged.

Didn't you know about this before? Evelin asked doubtfully.

Blame me, blame me. I always have an inexplicable trust in my own people.

Ethan raised his hands and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

This action made Evelin glance at him with her eyes, Then what do you want to do now?

Ethan said: How about taking the factory out of the company?

Is this okay? Does that factory have the ability to survive independently? Evelin expressed doubts.

It shouldn't be possible to maintain a normal life at the moment, but it should be possible in the future. Ethan answered.

After seeing the single personnel structure of his factory, Ethan's mind immediately came up with the idea of ​​splitting it up. The reason was simply that it was inappropriate to have such a factory under the name of a game company.

When the number of veterans who have been on the battlefield almost reaches a platoon...

If he says he has no ideas, others won’t believe him either!

Since it is not suitable, then peel it off, and how difficult is it to peel off...

Yes, but not too much.

At present, the main product produced by the factory is their electronic arcade machine. Employees can survive on this alone, but the factory will definitely not be profitable. And even if they are handed over to them for the production of home consoles in the future, they will be able to survive without cutting off the equity. , the factory is expected to maintain a stable situation. If it wants to truly survive, it can only develop business externally.

At present, external business cannot be found, but since those employees can keep their current status alive, the split should not be a big problem.

After Ethan expressed his thoughts, Evelin pondered for a moment and said: Demolish it!

We can afford to support more than a dozen people, and it's no problem to have more than 20 or 30 people. But the current growth rate is really too fast, and it's very difficult for us to maintain such endless growth.

At the same time, in order to show our care for them, we also use part of the equity as an incentive. How about fifteen points? Michael will have five points exclusively, and others will share ten points. In the next five years, as long as they can achieve the goal of eliminating The profits we provide outside of business can be realized within a certain period of time.”

We can give them a decent life, but they also have to contribute.

If they really can't live with it, then the most you can do is introduce Apple business to them. You can't do anything else. You have to let them talk about it themselves!

Oh, by the way, the team members in our factory are my dad's old employees, right?

You ask Thomas to take them back. Many of them are old. They can just look at the farm and wait for retirement.

Okay~ Ethan thinks his sister's idea is fine, and he doesn't care about the shares in the factory, because the most valuable thing in the entire company is the game, and everything else is trivial.

However, even if the company's two major shareholders reached an agreement, the split of the factory would not be carried out so quickly. After all, Ethan had just asked Michael whether the factory was safe.

In his opinion, specific notifications should be made during the production of new products.

Give everyone a buffering time.

This decision also made Ethan shake his head with emotion, I thought it would last a lifetime.

But I didn't expect...

Human, what a strange creature.

In Ethan's sigh, time quietly came to October.

Since he released the news about seeking cooperation, many accounting firms and law firms have submitted their cooperation plans to them. After some comparisons, Ethan selected Morrison Foster, which is headquartered in San Francisco. and Foerster) law firms, and financially, he chose Deloitte.

With the finalization of these two cooperations, Ethan always feels that his company has entered a new era.

Before, it was just for fun, but now...

It looks good Ang!

Sitting in the office, he was spinning his pen happily.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door of the office. After being asked to come in, Aaron Massey, who was supposed to be serving cross-border service for the last time, walked in.

Boss, we are almost ready for the recruitment of your secretary.

After two rounds of interviews, we have identified three candidates.

This is their resume.

Do you think you need to meet in person?

This news made Ethan very happy, and waiting for him to take a look...

The first guy is a beautiful sister!

The second guy is also a beautiful sister!

And the third...

Tsk~ Why is he bald?

And just when Ethan was about to throw the third person's resume into the trash can, the round cheeks gave him a sense of familiarity, and he frowned and glanced at it, Good guy!

Turns out to be from Harvard!

Uh...they are all in California?

Right in Palo Alto.

Then let this bald man come over.

Is he the only one?

Yes, it's just him.
