The two detectives passed by Luo Xiu and walked towards a white man behind him.

"Mr. Luo, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Luo Xiu stop, the entourage asked in a low voice.

"It's okay. I was just wondering if I forgot to lock the door when I went out and if the air conditioner at home was turned off."

Luo Xiu told jokes in a pretense of humor, and the entourage also laughed a few times along with him.

No one knew that just now, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Mr. Luo, welcome to the United States."

The person who came to greet Luo Xiu was Lin Minyi.

This talented law student at Stanford University once provided legal assistance to Luo Xiu when he invested in Uber.

Since then, she has been staying in the United States on behalf of the company. After all, she is proficient in American business law, and it will not be of much use if she returns to China.

"Ms. Lin, I need you to help me set up a legal department as soon as possible to provide our new company with the most complete legal risk protection."

Luo Xiu said as he boarded the business car in front of him.

"Okay!" Lin Minyi also quickly got in the car and sat next to him.

What makes her a little confused is that the company has not yet opened, and the recruitment of real employees has not yet started, so the legal department is formed first?

Lin Minyi knows that many domestic companies, when they come to the United States to do business, usually don't think much about the laws here in the early stage. It is not until they suffer losses that they find ways to make up for their mistakes.

When my boss immediately set up a legal department, did he pay attention to the law, or did he want to do some work that was frantically testing the edges of the law?

After all, bad guys always know the letter of the law better than good guys.

Because they have this need.

Lin Minyi even hesitated a little whether to run away in advance.

But thinking about the young boss who made a lot of money through Uber last time, she also received a generous bonus.

No matter what she does now, she will not easily give up the opportunity to show off her skills.

…

Luo Xiu first went to the hotel to stay and rest for a night.

The next day they went directly to their newly rented office.

The office is located in Silicon Valley, right next to Facebook. It used to belong to a technology company, but they recently moved out and vacated it.

From now on, it becomes the headquarters of tiktok.

There is a reason why Luo Xiu started TikTok first and then Douyin.

The domestic conditions are not mature yet, so there is no rush to do it.

Although short videos are a product of the 4G era, the real restriction on development is not network speed, but traffic costs.

It was not until the state pushed the three major operators to "increase speeds and reduce fees" that the short video industry developed rapidly.

Of course, traffic in the United States is not cheap, it is even more expensive than ours.

But their incomes are also high, and they are more willing to spend money on entertainment.

Therefore, Luo Xiu decided not to wait any longer and started making the international version first.

After the conditions are mature, we will start Douyin in China.

"Mr. Luo, do you have any opinions on the decoration of the new office?" the entourage asked.

The decoration style of a company often represents the culture of the company.

Luo Xiu waved his hand, "That's it, there's no need to renovate, we can start work directly after changing the sign."

"Mr. Luo, I think if you want to renovate, it's most cost-effective to do it now when the employees haven't arrived yet. When there are more people in the future, it will be difficult to renovate."

"It's okay. We are only staying in such a small office temporarily and will soon move to a bigger one."

Everyone was a little surprised by the boss's words. In their opinion, this office was already very big.

And in a place like Silicon Valley, where land is at a premium, there is no need to rent such a large office space at the beginning.

They can only think that Luo Xiu wants to get it done in one step.

Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the boss, he only regarded this place as a temporary office location.

"In terms of personnel recruitment, what is your suggestion, Mr. Luo?"

"Leave it to a headhunter. Money is not an issue. The most important thing is to find the right person as soon as possible."

Many people in China are a little resistant to "headhunters" and treat them like real estate agents. They always feel that they want to make a lot of money for themselves.

The reason is more because the professional quality of many domestic headhunters is not high.

They do not provide better services to enterprises, nor do they help talents get better-matched jobs.

In the United States, headhunting companies are already a very mature industry.

The world's first headhunting company was born in the United States. Until now, headhunting has become an important part of recruitment for American companies.

Many companies do not directly open their recruitment to the outside world for middle and senior management, but leave it to headhunting companies.

As for high-tech talents, they are also too lazy to spend time looking for jobs. After sending out their needs, headhunters will naturally come to them.

Recruitment itself is a very costly task, but leaving it to headhunters saves costs.

Compared with others, the most important thing for Luo Xiu is to find the person in charge of the American company first.

After all, he won't be stationed here for a long time. He will return to China after the basic affairs are settled.

There is no suitable candidate for such a person in charge at the headquarters, so we can only go to the United States to find one.

The headhunting was very efficient and they quickly found many candidates.

Luo Xiu interviewed them in the new office, but the results were not ideal.

Applicants regard this company as a start-up company, and they themselves have many years of management experience. The prerequisite for working in a start-up company now is to give them enough equity.

If they just get a salary, of course they will choose to go to those big companies. The job will be stable, their resume will be better, and the work will be easier.

If start-up companies want to attract them, they can only make them important partners, give them very high equity, and give them a billionaire dream.

Even so, they must be able to clearly see the future prospects of the company and know that you are not a scam company.

But for Luo Xiu, this is impossible.

I would rather give you double your salary than give away equity.

If it were an ordinary company, the equity would be given away, but tiktok is the core industry of the company in the future, and it is impossible to give away the equity easily.

Unless the other party has proven their irreplaceable value in the company.

"Mr. Luo, with these conditions, I'm afraid I won't be able to attract the talents you need. Do you still want to insist?" The headhunting company specially sent a Chinese to connect with Luo Xiu.

"You also know that our Pinru Group is not a start-up company, but our business is concentrated in China, and the United States has just started."

"But Americans don't know you Pinru Group. Even Alibaba before its listing, many people have never heard of it."

After Luo Xiu heard this, he had nothing to say for a while.

I really have no foundation in the United States, and the only thing I can get away with is the investment from Uber.

In the eyes of most people, this investment is more like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

"No matter what, the issue of principle must not change." Luo Xiu said firmly.
Chapter completed!
