Mei Fang scheduled a meeting with Chen Rui on the afternoon of the ninth day of the first lunar month. This time, Xia Yuan felt that he could not help and did not come, so the list of interview members became Mei Yue, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi.
During this period, the three of them have actually accumulated a lot of interview experience, but this is the first time they have interviewed a big shot of this level.
Although Mei Fang often plays jokes about his uncle with everyone, in his opinion, his uncle in the previous life was a very talented person who loved the two-dimensional world.
Although the recognized founder of Bilibili is the Chief Executive, my uncle is the one who made an indispensable contribution to corporatization and commercialization of Bilibili from a social group, and its eventual successful listing.
On the road to B Station's listing, my uncle went from angel investment to bringing in capital, and then relied on his connections to attract people and investment, which eventually led to the B Station's previous life as an empire with assets worth hundreds of billions. It was also thanks to my uncle's efforts that the Chief Executive achieved success at the age of 20 and retired with financial freedom at the age of 28.
As for the various setbacks in the development of Bilibili after its listing, the uncle certainly has his own responsibilities, but listing itself faces the problem of capital control, and many choices are actually beyond one's control. Mei Fang used to tease his uncle, but now that he has become an uncle himself, he can naturally understand his uncle's difficulties and how difficult it is to take Bilibili public.
However, despite his emotions, the world after rebirth is very different from the past. Whether this uncle is the uncle Mei Fang is familiar with still needs to be confirmed through this interview.
There is definitely no need for multiple rounds of screening when interviewing a big boss; three interviewers together will do.
Mei Fang was mainly responsible for confirming whether his uncle was in line with Linxi Technology's corporate development culture, Lin Youxi focused on exploring his insights on technology, and Mei Yue was more inclined to HR-related issues, mainly asking questions related to salary and human resources.
While waiting for their uncle to arrive, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi were preparing relevant materials in their private offices.
"Youxi, please don't ask too difficult questions later. We are interviewing a product manager, not a technical director."
"I know this, don't worry."
Lin Youxi was sorting out her official documents. She looked up at Mei Fang and saw Mei Fang sitting on the sofa with his chin in his hand, looking thoughtful. She put down the documents and sat next to Mei Fang.
"What's wrong? Are you nervous?"
"There's nothing to be nervous about, haha."
Mei Fang actually has a deeper understanding of her uncle than Lin Youxi does, so it's natural that she would feel a little uneasy.
In his previous life, he viewed these legendary figures in the Internet industry as unattainable bigwigs, and he himself was just a small fry at the foot of the mountain; now, with the help of the opportunity and experience of rebirth, he has not only deprived those legendary bigwigs of their luck, but now he even wants to control them.
To be honest, to achieve this without the support of the system, isn't it a bit... how should I put it, overestimating one's own abilities
Mei Fang is not quite sure.
Of course, he is much better now than in his previous life, but his talent and vision are just mediocre, and he does not have that much confidence in himself.
Lin Youxi patted Mei Fang's shoulder gently.
"I remember our history teacher liked to say in class, 'Heroes are made by the times.' It is definitely not just luck or coincidence that Afang has come to where he is today. In addition to your love for programming and games, I think you should also have more confidence in your own strength and status."
"Humility is a virtue, but blindly being modest will make people feel that they are easy to be bullied. I think the current Algerian side needs to strengthen its construction in this area."
Lin Youxi sat sideways on Mei Fang's lap, hugged Mei Fang and whispered in her ear: "Afang needs to be more confident."
"… "
Mei Fang stared at the lover in front of him, "Do you think I'm not confident enough now?"
Lin Youxi did not answer directly, but helped Mei Fang straighten her collar. "Fang, you have been very gentle to us since we were young. You would run away from home with Yuanyuan, and you could tolerate my temper with you... For Yuanyuan and me, this is your strength, and it would also be a more attractive trait to show it to ordinary employees."
"But in the process of foreign negotiations and when dealing with bosses of the same level, this will become a weakness."
Mei Fang nodded. "Actually, I think this is also a kind of courage. I really can't do these things."
Mei Fang listened to Lin Youxi's words word by word, and felt an indescribable sense of agreement in his heart.
In his previous life, he was often taken advantage of because he was too easy to talk to. This character trait is actually a bit difficult to change.
But things are different now. The things that Mei Fang couldn't bear to do, including firing people, are now done by Lin Youxi and Mei Yue to help him optimize his staff. If he just leaves it to them, it's not a bad idea. However, in the long run, his courage training will indeed be useless.
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi were hugging each other on the long sofa, discussing their experiences in managing the company. After a while, Mei Yue opened the door and came over to remind them: "Chen Rui is here."
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi followed Mei Yue out of the office and met Chen Rui at the door.
Chen Rui looked similar to the image on the business card, a clean and gentle man with glasses. When he saw Mei Fang, he was very enthusiastic and was ready to come up and shake hands with Mei Fang and say hello, but before saying hello he habitually wiped the corner of his clothes with his hand.
"Hello, hello... You are Mei Fang, right?"
"Hello, Brother Rui, I'm Mei Fang, and this is our company's financial director and program director."
"Hello."
Lin Youxi nodded to Chen Rui, but didn't extend her hand to say hello. Chen Rui didn't force her, but just smiled and said, "Miss C Station, I've heard of your great name for a long time. Isn't Brother Xun's daughter here today?"
"Yuanyuan is busy writing songs today, so she won't come over."
"I heard from Brother Xun that you three are truly amazing."
At this time, Mei Yue also said, "Let's not stand at the door, come in and chat haha..."
Mei Fang took Chen Rui to the conference room and showed him the structure of his company. Chen Rui listened very carefully and nodded continuously. From the current point of view, the situation is still under Mei Fang's control.
After everyone entered the conference room, Mei Fang chatted for a while and then asked Chen Rui some questions about the development of the video website in a relaxed and harmonious manner.
Although the meeting time was a bit rushed, Chen Rui still rushed out his C Station strategic plan overnight. He believed that the current C Station has not yet been fully commercialized and is still somewhat disadvantaged in competing with A Station. Therefore, he has been arranging the company's commercialization process, even down to the details of which month the commercialization should be completed.
And the most terrifying thing is that he has not only achieved a beautiful PPT, but also has a thorough understanding of the live broadcast that Station C is developing. There is no doubt that he has done his homework and even has a lot of connections and intelligence. It can be seen that he is a very good manager.
While chatting, Mei Fang also asked Chen Rui about his understanding of the two-dimensional world, especially his favorite two-dimensional character. After all, this is the most effective way to identify his uncle's identity.
"Ah...you have to tell the truth." Chen Rui seemed a little embarrassed. After all, he was older than other members of the company and had a relatively high sense of shame.
"Well... there's nothing wrong with that. Our company's corporate culture is quite open."
"Then I'll just say it straight."
Chen Rui coughed a few times, then said seriously, "My favorite character is the sister in "The Sky of Destiny"."
It seems like he is a real uncle.
Although my favorite anime is different in the parallel world after my rebirth, it is still a disgusting sister complex.
