cool breeze in the summer
Jennifer had a hard time adjusting at first because of the sudden change in circumstances after graduation. Every day I could go to school according to the schedule, and when I saw the assignment that the professor gave me or played with my friends, my day quickly passed. Of course, there were times when I had to take exams or do things I hated sometimes, but it was nothing compared to fun to hang out with my friends.
Now that you’ve graduated, you have to decide everything for yourself. There is no one around to say anything and there is no set schedule. I went out to the design shop once every few days, so now I feel a little strange coming to work every morning.
The design shop, named ‘Jens’ after Jennifer and John, was originally two at the beginning of this year, and as Jennifer graduated, she recently elected seven more to start. Suddenly a lot of people come in and the office is cluttered.
“By the way, how do you do business here? Isn’t it fucked?” Josephine, a newcomer, has now asked Robin, one of his assistants.
“I wonder about that. It’s only been a few days, but I’m designing, and I don’t think I’m producing anything. They have no place to sell it.” The new employee next door is also concerned. Other employees who have been trained to agree with the sound look at them as a whole.
On his face, “Me too! I was curious about that, but I didn’t ask! It is the expression.
How the hell does a fucking company get seven new guys? ”Robin smiles and replies.
“But it’s not a production or a plot, is it? ”
When Josephine first came in for her interview, she was impressed with this wonderful office that looked like a beautiful building and design shop, and when she walked into the workplace, she saw that there were no producers or vendors, and she said, “Is this a scam? ‘I even thought.
“It was really hard to get in, but I was nervous.” The new employee who asked me the same question is also standing next to me.
As summer approached, the cold winds slowly started to rise for companies in Silicon Valley and San Francisco. The peak NASDAQ was down 20% by July, with the indexes continually falling to wake investors who were ‘just in case’ from the illusion of venture capital.
As new investments declined and funds began to be conservatively managed, university students who had once been hired to remain at large frozen in an instant, graduated in June were bombed.
Especially since we have recruited large numbers of employees over the past few years, we were no longer able to recruit new employees as the outlook grew darker.
As a reflection of this atmosphere, when I chose 5 people from the design shop, I surprised everyone by supporting over 100 people. There were so many good people that I chose two more than I had originally planned.
Of course, it’s even weirder if new employees who come in this hard don’t want to know about work.
“Haha. It’s good for a lot of people. What’s unsettling?” It’s fun to tease new employees without explaining.
“Robin, let me know if you know anything. ”
“Yes, why are you laughing? ”
Two new employees taunt Robin, and the rest of the staff cheer up and concentrate. It’s always pleasant to know what others don’t know.
Robin suddenly looks around and talks about his tenacity. As her voice narrows, some come closer, pretending not to be.
The new recruits must have enjoyed what Robin said the more she kept saying, clapping her hands and making surprised faces.
“Oh my, oh my. The boss would love that. But what does he do? ”
“So, this is all a gift? Does the head office help you with all the sales? ”
“Oh, I wish I could live my whole life without worrying about money. I had a lot of guys I liked back in school. ”
Josephine, who is usually proud of her beauty, sighs deeply.
“I didn’t get any money, but my boss wasn’t worried at all, and I thought something was wrong from the start. ”
Employees who pretended not to listen at first also come close to joining the conversation as soon as they find out what’s going on.
“Ms. Grant is here!” Jennifer came to the office and all the staff were there to greet each other. But strangely, some eyes seemed to want to ask me something.
The employees who gathered soon return to their seats and begin work. The entire company is an open concept with little walls, with only three offices, including Jennifer’s, and the rest of the modern desks connected to each other, giving you a glimpse of the room.
I was a little sorry for coming out late because I saw the staff doing something hard from the morning.
“But you were prettier in your late sleep. My skin is even better. Foot! ‘
The last time I went to the Rocksville graduation ceremony, I was so happy to hear that I was’ prettier ’,‘ probably younger than I was when I graduated ’, and’ like baby skin! ’
I took care of it a lot after graduation, but I feel like I’ve done my part, even living late sleep.
As employees greeted me in the office, I could always see flowers and plants blooming in the neatly organized desks and potted plants by the window. In turn, the plants with large leaves wiped the dust with a cloth.
When I stand up with a pleasant office, I feel proud and delighted to see the design shop that looks over the glass wall. Work itself is fun, and when I’m with employees, the day goes by quickly.
“Jennifer, when did you get out?” I flipped through the paperwork and called to clear my head.
“Yes, I just got here. I’m watering the plants John bought me.” Jennifer’s voice is clear.
“Really? You’re getting enough sleep, aren’t you? You shouldn’t ruin a pretty face. ”
“Kick! I don’t know anything else, but don’t worry about it. I’m worried because I’m so well guarded. ”
Jennifer raises her head about what’s so funny when she hears about sleep.
“Why did you call me? Is something wrong?” My day job is really tight. Meetings and payments are piled up and there are too many people who want to talk. Sometimes I can’t afford to make a phone call.
That’s why I sometimes talk to Jennifer after lunch alone or mainly after work.
“It’s nothing, I just wanted to hear your voice. Are you enjoying yourself? Can I buy you a doll?”
“Tsk! What am I, Anne?” I hear a sharp voice and suddenly my voice changes again.
“By the way, what are you buying me? Heehee!”
Jennifer’s moved into her big house this year. It’s nice to have a big house, but my room has suddenly changed since I was a kid, so it’s a little lonely and scary.
Last time, I bought a lot of big dolls to fill a bigger room.
I felt better one day after talking to Jennifer. When I talk to Jennifer, I feel a little excited, excited, and frustrated.
The words we whisper are childish in some ways. However, I feel relaxed when I talk freely while chasing after benefits all day long with just hard words.
Nowadays, I’m researching and preparing for all kinds of rumors. The Planning Room reports economic trends and outlook on a weekly basis, but I also read articles on the Internet every day.
“Phew, 371 Internet listed companies account for 8% of the total stock market? “
According to Barron’s, an economics expert, the value of these companies growing suddenly on a dotcom boom is just $13.0 billion.
This has been blowing up like a popcorn in the last few years. America is big, too. Balloons are also king balloons. If it explodes, the aftermath won’t be so bad.
I am also analyzing the effects on my affiliates over the long term and trying to come up with a countermeasure. He encouraged the planning team to strategize for the post-bubble era and to create a vision and plan to enhance interior and profitability.
The essence of the bubble is that hard-earned companies only have higher market value. My Internet companies, Google, Myway and Classmate.com, see black people, but they still don’t make much money compared to the potential market value.
“Hmm. This is good. It shows exactly how much the advertisers are paying for their revenue. We have all the data, so we analyze revenue against advertising for free for one client and use it… not bad. “
“Yes, it is. There are some companies that still question the effectiveness of advertising. As long as the results are clear, we’ll open the wallet. ”
“Then please select one company from the three most potential business segments and analyze them. ”
Google is already the best at its search functionality. The number of users is now above 50 million people a day.
According to the plan, if the user puts words such as “insurance” or “defense” for the purpose of buying or referring something, it seems like a good idea to post an advertisement on the side.
In this case, most people don’t even know they have ads, but they’re only showing ads to potential buyers, so users aren’t uncomfortable with them, and advertisers are tailored to them.
I think advertising revenue will increase considerably if I package it well and advertise it to the industry. Now, as the planning office takes over the system, good proposals begin to come out.
MyWay and Classmate.com are also working on customized ads for their age and gender. Unlike Google, the identity of the subscriber is clearly included.
After talking with Polo, I have a feeling about the direction ahead. So far, I’ve been trying to steadily settle the profitability structure while increasing my sales force, but it looks like I need to take a step.
The more I heard about the Internet bubble, the more I felt the need to enhance my capabilities for offline companies.
From time to time in Johnston Korea, Group Planning felt that the Group Planning Room was slowly taking center stage and attracting new talent.
Offline operations in the United States are Johnstone Investments, Bungee Soft and Film Company. Investors have been asking us to be careful for a while, so we are paying a lot of attention to the movie business these days. Polygram recently reorganized the organization and invested in the new film business.
We are also reviewing the scenarios we are planning for and focusing on briefing and reviewing business plans, revenue forecasts, marketing strategies, and utilization of existing distribution channels from Beijing and other executives.
I don’t have to decide for myself, but after I acquire the company, I want to be as excited as the first few pieces to put a padlock on the mouths of chatty humans.
I was coming out of the Polygram office in Universal City, and it’s already past nine o’clock.
“Let’s go to the hotel. We’ll be out here tomorrow anyway, so let’s sleep here today. ”
I have a chauffeur and a bodyguard, so all I have to do is say something and I’ll rest in the back. It’s annoying to think about it again, but if you move around a lot like now, it will save you a lot of time because you can take care of everything from booking to parking.
“I’m sorry. What’s up, John? ”
I try to get out of the car and enter the hotel, but suddenly I hear someone calling me.
“Uh, are you Caroline? ”
When I saw a woman approaching me, I saw her high school alumni, Caroline. Gosh! It’s only been four years? It’s been less than two months since I went to Rocksville School to give a speech, so I’m glad to see Carolyn, who quickly remembers her old thoughts.
“John, how are you?”
It seems that Carolyn still has a slightly colorful pretty face and a slim figure to her liking. And the other thing is, if the eyes, the tail, the slim jawline, which was a little bit green at the time, were glamorous, what would you call a ripe apple now?
I had a quick chat in front of the hotel. Carolyn said she lives around here. I was told a few years ago that I wanted to move to Hollywood, but I still know where I work here, and I’m not sure exactly where.
“But do you have a minute? It’s been a long time. It’s just a breakup, isn’t it? ”
“Now?”
Looking at the clock, it’s almost 10 o’clock. It was nice to meet you, but I was hesitant because I was a little vague during the day.
“Just because you’re president doesn’t mean you’re ignoring your friends, right? You don’t have a minute? ”
I was going to meet you tomorrow, but hearing this suddenly made me hesitant. At the end, I was offended by the word ‘ignoring my friend for becoming president.’ If I say I don’t have time here for no reason, I become a person who ignores my classmates. Even when I say it, I feel good about it.
“Well, can I talk to you for a second? Tom, is there somewhere quiet around here? ”
I asked Tom, the guard. I remember Tom lived in L.A. for a long time and worked around here for a while.
“Isn’t there a coffee shop inside? You don’t have to go anywhere else. ”
I went in with Carolyn because she wasn’t wrong about her offer, but something’s not right.
‘Oh, right. I don’t think Jennifer and Caroline ever got along. You’re not gonna say I talked for a minute, are you? ’
I walk into a hotel, and Carolyn squeezes my arm a little. Khh! Hmmm. This is what you did in high school, right? When I talk to you after class together, I remember doing something like this.
I walk away because I’m afraid I’ll be embarrassed if I sprinkle it here, but the sign ‘hotel’ overhead looks down at me.
