It is precisely because Facebook is too expensive that Ye Dongqing dares not invest all the funds on hand.

Otherwise, when the capital chain of this company that was very expensive in the early stages of its business has problems, it will find a way to sell a share, or find ways to make money from other places to fill the funding gap.

In the early stage, he did not intend to accept financing from other institutions or individuals, as long as he operated it well, his future profit prospects were quite considerable.

Worth taking a risk to give it a try.

It is hard to say whether it can be as successful as the original Facebook company, but judging from the current situation, this newly developed product is quite good to use.

The beta version is definitely not very advanced, but there are almost all the prototypes that should be there, such as sharing pictures, text messages, such as adding friend information through searches, and leaving messages on the other party’s public homepage, etc.

There are still some functions that have not been launched, such as blocking a friend, like function, etc. The entire page looks quite simple. With the improvement and optimization, I believe that in the near future, Ye Dongqing can be satisfied.

Someone once said that the most difficult part of entrepreneurship in Internet lies in product positioning and long-term planning. Many people rush into this industry when they are hot, and they are confused and bloody, wasting time and money.

Although there were nearly 10,000 large, medium and small startups at the peak of Silicon Valley in the 1990s, after a bubble collapse, one of the remaining companies was not yet available, new companies continued to appear, and bankrupt companies continued to appear, based on the calculations, there were actually only so many companies that really stood at the peak.

What troubles other entrepreneurs is completely no problem when it comes to Ye Dongqing. He is very clear about what to do. There is little possibility of going on a wrong path. "Logistics support work" is done. This means that it is almost impossible to make a profit within two or three years. Ye Dongqing has even been preparing for not making a profit for five years.

Because of the unwillingness to accept financing too early, other funds must be injected.

Now Facebook's remaining $8 million is hard to say whether it can survive the first two months of next year. After all, the requirements for this product are too high and it will soon enter the stage of personnel expansion and update hardware supporting products such as servers. Currently, it is just renting a small server.

The beta version of Facebook website has been open for nearly a week. After continuous modification and testing by programmers, it has reached a level that can be released for actual testing.

Ye Dongqing kept reading the first message, and then went out and called Mr. Alfred House and said to him: "How about choosing a good day and starting to put it on the market tomorrow? People will spend more time using computers during the holidays, and I think that is a good opportunity to promote our products."

"It will start tomorrow?"

Alfred subconsciously looked outside and told Ye Dongqing: "But who should be allowed to stay on duty? It may cause a crash at any time. The beta version program is not that stable, and the web version is a little better, but the mini program is really bad. If it is open to users, it will definitely be inseparable from people.

You should tell me about this earlier. Now many people have already planned their vacation plans, such as me, preparing to go on vacation to the beach in Miami. If my wife is in a good mood, she may also go to the Panama Islands. This is so embarrassing to me."

"...I know what you mean, just don't let you stay and work overtime, right?"

The programmers in his company are generally not old. Mr. Alfred House is only in his early forties. Ye Dongqing continued to think about it:

"There should be someone who is not married. Do you think I will pay another $5,000 in addition to my salary. After you work, he will get a week's vacation. How many people will agree to stay and work overtime?"

"Five thousand dollars?"

Alfred asked back and replied after a moment: "It should be enough to keep the company running, almost triple the salary, but the price is just a few days off."

After the idea of ​​letting this product be released soon, it took root in Ye Dongqing's mind and did not want to wait for the end of the long holiday. For this reason, he would rather spend a little more, almost 30,000 or 40,000 US dollars. He could bear the same small price, and it was not related to the fact that he was dying. The Danshui Fund Company was still helping him make money...

Ye Dongqing walked out of the office and told the employees that this "good news". Their reaction was not as enthusiastic as he imagined. A few guys immediately shrank their heads, for fear of being arrested.

It is difficult for ordinary people to live in New York. For programmers with relatively high salaries, as long as they have a stable job, not to mention how good they live, they are at least doing well.

Westerners generally hate working overtime on holidays, especially when bosses force them to work overtime. Ye Dongqing's approach is OK. After receiving an extra reward, she can still enjoy a week of paid leave by the beginning of next year.

Two people raised their arms at the same time and stayed voluntarily during the holidays. They must be the type of short of money, or they are single dogs, and their whole family is not hungry. They have no plans to travel with anyone.

The rest would rather lose a lot of money than work overtime. Others would have holidays, and the world was free and easy, but I stayed in an empty office building to work. This feeling was really not very good.

After a moment of quietness, two more people raised their hands and joined in. Ye Dongqing asked Alfred with his eyes if that was enough. After getting the other party's nodding and answering, he smiled and patted the poor eggs on the shoulders and encouraged:

"Don't worry, I will never treat you badly. I will reimburse you for food and transportation costs, and I will also bring you some small gifts.

In case, I mean, if our company becomes popular in the future, we can tell people that you are responsible for maintenance a few days before starting operations. Isn’t it cool?”

Well, it's not cool at all. Many employees don't even know what he does for this young and rich Chinese boss. They don't meet often, so their relationship can only be considered ordinary. They think that most of them are rich at home, so they spend money to make trouble.

Don’t expect to respond to the situation. There are only more than 20 employees in the company who have made full plans and only come to work for about two months.

No one responded to him. Ye Dongqing was a little embarrassed and pretended not to be that way. She went to the office to pack up her things and planned to go to the Tamsui Fund to inspect it again, and talked about the details of the year-end bonus distribution with Carnike, who temporarily served as director of Vigo.

The performance is far beyond expectations. It is unreasonable to not pay more bonuses to employees. You can pay half a month or a month's salary. Instead of being taken away by the tax bureau when you pay taxes, it is better to send it to employees to earn a good reputation, hoping that they will work harder in the coming year.

Before leaving, Alfred showed him the official website of Tamsui Fund online, which is expected to be officially launched at the beginning of next year, and will enable online transactions, redemptions, and communication functions...
