  Chapter 102 The world needs social workers like you

  Tommy Hawk stood in front of the dressing mirror and carefully adjusted his golden hair, trying to make them look sharper, and asked his girlfriend Renee who was waiting next to him: "How do I look now?"

   "Charming?" Renee stared at Tommy's face for a few seconds before expressing her feelings truthfully.

  Tommy thought for a while, took off his T-shirt, put on a patterned shirt, and undid the two top buttons: "Now?"

   "Like a native man from Texas or California, a little uninhibited, doesn't matter?" Renee finally realized what Tommy was doing, and said.

  After getting his girlfriend's answer, Tommy nodded in satisfaction: "Very well, let's go."

This weekend, Symantec's No. 1 employee, the disgrace of SSD, James Dunn helped Tommy Hawk make an appointment with his company's human resources manager Ian Knott. It's not official, just a relaxing weekend reunion.

Since it was the weekend, of course the three men brought their girlfriends. First, they went to the restaurant to eat together, and then went to the mall to shop. The three men became slaves until they arrived at the karting track, where the three women went for a race After the game, they finally got a chance to rest.

In the leisure area of ​​the Silicon Valley Kart Park, the three men watched their girlfriends screaming as they drove their karts past the track not far from them at high speed. They raised their drinks and cheered for each other loudly. After the women chased me away, the men immediately turned into expressions of slumping on their seats and not wanting to talk.

Ian Nott is 32 years old this year. Like the 35-year-old Symantec founder Gary Hendrigues, both are from Texas and graduated from the University of Texas. fraternity.

"Tommy, I didn't look like you when I was in college." Ian Nott laughed seeing Tommy's world-weary expression: "Especially with such a beautiful girlfriend, it turns out that only three After ten years old, you will turn into my perfunctory expression. Of course, you can’t count James. That guy has a unique XP. His girlfriend is not as attractive as Flackie from the company. Every time I see James look at Flackie The look in his eyes is terrifying, as if he could take off his pants and pounce on him at any time."

  Flecky is an artificial intelligence robot project developed by Symantec after receiving a large investment from the US National Fund.

  Although Symantec has only been established for one year, it is definitely not a small start-up company. After all, no small start-up company can get an eight-figure investment without a product at all.

Symantec was able to get up to tens of millions of dollars in investment to start a business in Silicon Valley, all thanks to the connections of founder Gary Hendrigues. Chief scientist of the artificial intelligence project.

  In the United States, everything is a business, and DARPA allocates only two million dollars to such projects every year, citing the lack of funds in the country.

  But if a private company develops similar projects, it can get a lot of investment from the state and the military. As for the reason, it is naturally to have the technology in hand, and another point is that it is also convenient for officials to earn wealth in this kind of company.

This is how Gary Hendrigues founded Symantec. Mentors, some people from DARPA, and some people from the National Fund occupy the shares of this company in various ways. DARPA’s research and development has almost stagnated. However, the progress of Mantec can be advanced at a constant speed. When the development reaches certain key points, the country can continue to spend money to support Symantec. The final outcome is that DARPA’s artificial intelligence project will be cancelled, and the US government will spend a high price to buy it. Symantec product.

The above operation is not a secret in this land. In Silicon Valley, as long as you see that a new company does not start from a garage when it is established, it directly rents an expensive office building, recruits a large number of people, and buys a large computer cluster. So it is basically certain that the new company should be similar to Symantec, either with high-ranking officials as shareholders or with state investment. In other words, it is not a nerd technology startup, but a real businessman's method.

Tommy took a sip of the juice and looked at Ian and James next to him: "I thought of a joke. The reporter interviewed a man and said to him, sir, can I do a random interview for you? Who would you like to spend time with?" How about a happy weekend? A, your wife, B... Before the reporter finished speaking, the man immediately shouted: BBBBBB!"

   Both Ian and James laughed and nodded, "That's right, you should choose B! That's definitely a wise choice."

After laughing, Ian stretched out his hand and patted Tommy, and then said: "James said, you and your girlfriend are doing some social activities at Stanford to help women find employment, and I hope I can help arrange some women's employment, boy, look at this On the face of the joke, you can chat with me."

"That's right, James said that Symantec now has nearly forty clerks in administrative and secretarial departments, not counting assistants in other departments. I would like to ask Mr. Nott to give those women a chance. Those women are definitely working harder than everyone in your company at the moment, they all cherish that job, and their efficiency is higher than the clerks you hired at a high price at the moment, but the salary is only two-thirds of those people." Tommy heard Ian Nott talking about it, looked at him, put away his smile, and said seriously:

"Most of those women only have a high school degree, they have never gone to college, they don't know what a college job fair is, and they don't know the various company benefits that other college students have already figured out when they are recruiting at school. They are as pure as white It is the same as paper, but it can do ordinary tasks that we thought only college students could do, such as entering documents, forms, preparing speeches, printing reports, making coffee for you, etc. Now, in your department, there is only one person who only knows how to turn on the computer. How much does Symantec pay the administrative specialist who enters the time sheet and spends most of the day just making coffee for you, Mr. Knott?"

   "300 weekly salary." Ethan Knott took out a cigarette and lit it in his mouth.

Tommy said affirmatively: "The woman I recommend only costs 220 yuan, and if you entrust her with work that doesn't belong to her, she will obediently complete it, because she doesn't know how much work she should be responsible for. Know how to do all the work assigned to her by the company."

Ethan Knott narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled at Tommy Hawke: "If you promote female employment like this, Tommy, any company will not refuse, and one person can save 80 yuan in salary. In terms of expenses, forty people can save 3,200 yuan a week, which is 150,000 yuan a year, this data is more attractive than any words, I will think about it, and then chat with Gary."

"By the way, I forgot one more thing. The 150,000 saved can still be counted on their heads. This is the blank paper I said, Mr. Nott." Tommy saw that Ethan didn't promise on the spot, as if Suddenly remembered the missing point, and said to him.

Ethan looked into Tommy's deep eyes, finally reached out to him, and said seriously: "When will I see those women who are eager for employment? Symantec always believes that women are The greatest existence in this world, we should reach out to them as soon as we can, Tommy, the world needs social workers like you, the more the better."

"You can conduct an internal assessment now to decide whether certain people will go or stay. We will have ten women in the first batch." Tommy and Ethan held hands together: "Thank you for your help in women's employment, I think Stanford Women's Equality would like to give Symantec a certificate of appreciation."

   Ethan said seriously: "Symantec is honored to make a little contribution to women's employment."
