As expected, Van Persie actually called the next day, wanting to talk to White about the price. White took the opportunity to raise the price. After several bids between you and me, it was almost the same as White's ideals. Then in the week of the Internet record company, the two raised prices together, and it was almost the same.
Seeing White's delay in responding, some of them were a little anxious. Finally, Van Persie gritted his teeth and broke in during White and Benjamin's meeting, promising to get the funds White requested. White was very happy, but there was nothing in the face. Said.
He got up and shook hands tightly with Van Persie and expressed his congratulations on joining the LB board of directors. Although Van Persie breathed a sigh of relief, it was a bit painful. In the end, he can only hope that LB will get better and better. This proves that he is not arbitrary. wrong.
The two major companies injected capital. Overnight, White's LUMBLAR funding was not an obstacle at all. It seemed absurd and impossible for college students to manage a company.
But White’s team includes Benjamin, a person who has been in the American startup company, and his own experience. The two discussed together to plan for LB. They all know what a startup company should do to achieve business. The company's standards.
At only 20 years old, White became the leader of this young team and the largest shareholder of LB with the most equity. He was defaulted to be the most authoritative brain in the core team.
After Van Persie’s partner company injected $13 million in capital, White and Benjamin discussed the most severe situation for the company.
White said the observations he has been observing these days and said: "Now we have enough funds to pay employees' salaries. In this case, we should hire more employees."
Benjamin nodded and said, "It's okay for the core team to be a few of us, but it's better not to choose the employees below from universities. Many of them have no experience, and they will be much less efficient when they start things."
Of course White understands this. Take Benjamin as an example. Compared to college students who only have theoretical knowledge but no practical experience, he is much faster in maintaining and innovating websites.
White said: "I want to find elites like you from Silicon Valley, but it seems to be quite difficult. I only stayed at Google for half a year and I don't know many people. I have to rely on you here."
White wanted to let Benjamin use his contacts in Silicon Valley, but Li Tian who walked in happened to hear her, so she spontaneously introduced herself: "I have a senior sister from Tokyo who works as a supervisor in a headhunting company in Silicon Valley. I can go. Let her help with consultation."
For White, this is simply great news. He immediately slapped the table and said magnificently: "Then I will leave it to you Li Tian, preferably a quick programmer. The traffic of LB is increasing day by day. Program maintenance has become more and more common."
Li Tian responded heartily, pursed her mouth and smiled, with her hands behind her back, jumping out the door happily. Benjamin tilted his head and looked at Li Tian's swaying croissant braids, and couldn't help sighing: "In just a few days, Li Tian has become more outgoing."
White responded "Yes." From the very beginning, I saw Li Tian, a girl who would be upset by the Japanese accent. Since she followed White, she has become another person.
"She is growing fast at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she might become a strong woman who can be alone in the future." Benjamin said with a smile, and stabbed White with an elbow. "Your vision is really good, so let me put it here."
White just smiled and said: "You are not the same. You used to be pale and gloomy at Google, but now you talk more and more lively. People who don't know don't know you are so talkative."
Benjamin was taken aback, and the fascinated bystanders nodded cleanly: "It’s nothing more comfortable to work with like-minded people to start a business. What's more, you made me take revenge on Wigge. Now I’m waiting for it. LB is getting better and better."

Li Tian quickly adjusted the progress of the matter and contacted her senior sister to search for talents in Silicon Valley.
In Silicon Valley at the beginning of 2004, the development of science and technology is booming, but it may be related to the theory that Buffett is not optimistic about technology stocks. Almost every large company is not optimistic about the application prospects of Internet platforms.
Even White’s LUMBLAR is developing so rapidly that it is considered only a short-lived existence. But how do these people know that the Internet will almost become the leader of the entire industry?
There is such an argument in Silicon Valley that caused the senior sister Litian to be a little sick, and the matter of recruiting talents has been delayed. White asked Litian to arrange for him to meet with this senior sister several times. The senior sister said "I have given You arranged it, don't worry, don't worry" gesture.
White saw that her posture was really strange. Later, when she asked Litian, she realized that this senior lady was also very busy recently. The headhunting company was under great competition and she couldn't stay with her without any contacts. She was considering changing jobs recently, so naturally she didn't give it. White came to heart.
Even if White was anxious, it was useless, even to pour her wine, she was alienated and coldly rejected by Senior Sister Gao Leng: "I remember you are only in your early twenties and you are not the age of drinking. You still rarely do such blatant things. "
White had no choice but to withdraw his hand. He didn't say anything, but Li Tian was rather embarrassed when he heard him. When the senior sister left, she repeatedly apologized to White: "Blame me for not talking to senior sister. She has a Powerful people have been crowded out recently. I guess this is annoying."
"Of course I don't take it to heart!" White waved his hand repeatedly and promised. After thinking of something, he asked Li Tian, "Your senior sister and you both graduated from Dongda University. What is her major?"
"Similar to me, the design and advertising in the computer."
White nodded thoughtfully, and drove Li Tian back. Fortunately, he didn't drink, and met a drunk-driving man on the way. It was fine, but it was delayed a lot. I can only say that today is relatively bad.
After returning to the villa, Phuket, who has been living in simplicity, understood the lack of personnel, and smiled mysteriously: "I have a way. You will all look at me tomorrow. I can definitely recruit the coolest people."
White looked at a few people next to him suspiciously. Those young people whose average age was less than twenty-five all waved their hands and shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know anything. Until the next day, White couldn't laugh or cry before discovering what the secret of the God of Phuket was talking about.
It turned out that Phuket placed a giant doll of his favorite Simpson animator beside the most crowded academy road, and posted a piece of paper on the doll’s face with some recruitment information sheets written by LB while standing. Phuket holds a pile of spare recruitment forms in his hand.
White looked a little dumbfounded, and after a while, he reacted and walked forward, raised his hand and gave Phuket a big brain: "What are you doing! Are you kidding about LUMBLAR?"
Phuket jumped up and covered his head, and quickly explained: "I am doing business. If you don't believe it, don't look at it. It will not interfere."
White was so angry that he laughed. In front of this kid, they were like old men, they couldn't express any temper. Besides, Phuket had a bright head and often had weird ideas popping up. This is a technological innovator who can’t What is missing, White values Phuket very much, so he doesn't restrain him.
Instead, he watched quietly from the side to see what the boy Phuket could do. As a result, I waited all morning and saw no one, even Phuket himself. At first he yelled happily, but then he was probably embarrassed, so he shrank behind Simpson's back.
White looked at this scene quite like a club invitation on a Japanese TV drama campus. Sadly, their current LUMBLAR is no different from the basketball club at the beginning of Seongrin High School.
