ben.clarkson was a little puzzled.

Although he had guessed that Li Mu might want to recruit him, he did not expect Li Mu to come up with two positions with such a big gap.

The editor-in-chief of yy.com's it channel, the position is first of all, and it is just a position in charge of the second-level channel of the website.

A comprehensive portal website has a large number of secondary channels, news, finance, sports, entertainment, games, fashion, these are the more mainstream secondary channels. In large portal websites, it can only be regarded as the last stream in secondary channels.

I was instinctively unacceptable to the editor-in-chief of a second-level channel under yy.com. I am now the editor-in-chief of the entire "silion-valley-magazine" magazine. "silion-valley-magazine" is the most authoritative science and technology magazine in Silicon Valley, and it is much more valuable than a yy.com's it channel.

As for the general consultant of the Office of Strategic Research, although ben.clarkson does not know what the positioning and structure of this department is, he can feel from Li Mu's words that the positioning of this department under the entire animal husbandry technology system should be relatively important, and the general consultant should be the manager of the entire department.

So, ben.clarkson asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, can you briefly introduce these two positions?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "I'll introduce it together, because my plan is that if you accept it, you have to accept it at two positions together."

ben.clarkson suddenly realized, nodded and smiled, "Please say it."

Li Mu smiled and said: "I won't introduce it too much. You are a well-known critic in the IT field and must be very spiritual about content. So if you are responsible for the IT channel, I think it should be able to build the IT channel into the number one it portal in the Internet industry."

As he said that, Li Mu said again: "As for the general consultant of the Strategic Analysis Office, I still need to introduce this."

"First of all, all responsibilities of the Strategic Analysis Office are to conduct in-depth research and analysis on the situation of the Internet industry, Makino Technology, and peer companies, and then analyze and demonstrate our strategic planning. If the direction is correct, propose ways to improve it. If the direction is wrong, correct the errors in a timely manner."

ben.clarkson subconsciously asked: "Is this strategic analysis office equivalent to a think tank?"

Li Mu nodded: "That's right, to put it bluntly, it's a think tank. Muye Technology needs a strong think tank in the future to support the overall company and also support the subdivided parts and fields of the company. I hope you can accept this position, take out your understanding of the Internet, and leave it to the most professional team to realize it. In this way, you don't have to realize your ideas yourself. Just take out your ideas, and there will naturally be someone to help you realize it."

ben.clarkson hesitated for a moment and asked Li Mu: "If I accept this job, do I need to go to China?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "The company's headquarters is in China, and most of its senior management are also in China. As the leader of the think tank, you are naturally one of the senior management personnel. Of course, I hope you have more time to be in China, so that everyone's communication can be more seamless."

As he said that, Li Mu added: "But of course I won't let you stay in China all the time. I think half of the time in China every year is enough. You don't have to worry about your life in China. If you have a family, the company will take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation in China."

ben.clarkson thought for a while and said, "My wife is not working for the time being, and we have a two-year-old child. If I accept your invitation, my wife and children will definitely follow me to China. I personally have no objection, but I still need to ask for her opinion when my wife is there."

Li Mu asked with a smile: "Does that mean you have accepted it personally? It depends on whether your family has accepted it?"

ben.clarkson nodded: "Yes, I am very happy to accept your invitation. If my wife has no objection, I will be able to get to work soon. It doesn't matter if my wife doesn't want to go to China. As long as you allow me to work in the United States most of the time, I can still accept it."

Li Mu smiled and said, "But we haven't talked about salary and benefits yet. Did you just accept my invitation directly?"

ben.clarkson smiled and said, "I personally really long for the opportunity to join Makino Technology, a company that keeps creating miracles. You gave me this opportunity, and it also allows me to use my own strengths and avoid my own weaknesses. This opportunity is particularly rare for me, so I naturally have no reason to refuse it. As for the salary issue, I am not even worried, because I have studied all the decisions you have made since your business started, and your generosity to the employees of the company is something I highly recommend, so I don't need to worry about salary."

Talking about things with people who are clear-headed is worry-free. He will make the most rational judgment in the shortest time, just direct and without any inkling. Even if there are uncertainties, he will make clear predictions. The only uncertain factor for ben.clarkson now is his wife, but he did not worry or hesitate about this matter at all. He clarkson made his attitude clear on the spot, which is very consistent with the logic of programmers doing things and writing code.

First of all, I accept it fully without hesitation. If my wife agrees, then I accept it formally; if my wife disagrees, then I can accept it most of my time working in the United States, and it is up to you to decide whether to use it or not.

ben.clarkson himself has no resistance or hesitation about joining Makino Technology. The only variable condition is whether his wife agrees.

After receiving the message ben.clarkson wanted to express, Li Mu shook hands with him with a smile, and said, "If your wife agrees, be prepared to leave the job and go to China immediately; if your wife does not agree, be prepared to leave the job and go to work here immediately."

In Li Mu's opinion, no matter whether ben.clarkson's wife agrees or not, he will make up for this person, even if this person will work in the United States all his life.

Li Mu's trust and appreciation made Ben.clarkson feel a feeling similar to "a scholar dies for his confidant". This time, regardless of whether his wife promised to go to China or not, she must join Muye Technology.

...

Ben.clarkson's home is near Silicon Valley, near Stanford University. His wife, Sophia, is three years younger than him and has just celebrated her 32nd birthday.

Sophia was originally an Oracle software architect. Before they met, they were both workaholics. Later, after ben.clarkson entered the magazine to work, his overall condition became much more leisurely. In an exclusive interview, he strengthened his current wife Sophia.

Both of them were high-end practitioners in the Internet industry during their relationship. After Sophia became pregnant three years ago, ben.clarkson persuaded her to leave her job and take care of her children at home. Although Sophia couldn't bear to give up her job, she still made the decision to become a full-time housewife for the sake of her child.

When he returned home, ben.clarkson first walked around the house with his two-year-old daughter in his arms, and then put her on the carpet before he put her on the carpet, saying to Sophia: "Dear, I went to see Li Mu today."

"Li Mu?" Sophia didn't hear ben.clarkson talk about this and asked in surprise: "Li Mu of Muye Technology? How could you see him?"

ben.clarkson said: "Li Mu asked me to go to Muye Technology to chat with him, so I went there. I originally wanted to tell you, but I wasn't sure what Li Mu had to ask me for, so I thought I'd tell you after seeing him."

Sophia nodded and hurriedly asked: "What is Li Mu looking for you for?"

ben.clarkson said: "Li Mu gave me an OER."

"Ah?" Sophia didn't expect that the famous Li Mu would take the initiative to give her husband an OER and asked in surprise: "What OER did Li Mu give you? Is he going to dig you to Muye Technology?"

"That's right." ben.clarkson nodded and introduced Li Mu's two jobs to him.

Sophia herself was from Oracle and is very familiar with the Internet industry. After listening to ben.clarkson introducing her position, she sighed: "This strategic research office sounds like a good level."

ben.clarkson said: "It should be equivalent to the President's Office and is directly under the jurisdiction of the President."

Sophia said excitedly: "If this is the case, then this OER is really great! Haven't you always admire Makino Technology? Having the opportunity to become a member of this company will definitely be a fascinating thing for you."

ben.clarkson smiled and said, "I am not appreciating Makino technology, but admiring it."

As he said that, ben.clarkson said again: "The problem now is that if I take on this position, I may have at least half of the year to work and live in China..."

"Huaxia?!" Sophia's expression suddenly became disappointed, and she said, "Huaxia is too far away. I can't see you half the time a year. I'm afraid I will go crazy..."

ben.clarkson said: "Li Mu means that if I accept this OER, I can take you and Katie to China. He will help us with food, clothing, housing and transportation issues, so that we can take root in China."

Sophia hesitated for a moment and asked him: "What kind of treatment does Li Mu give us? If the annual salary exceeds 50% of your current annual salary, we can consider it. After all, I heard that the cost of living in China is much lower, and one against the other is the same as the income has increased a lot."

ben.clarkson said: "I didn't ask Li Mu what my treatment was, but according to her style of doing things, the treatment in all aspects will not be lower than mine now."

Sophia said: "Actually, compared to salary, what I want to know more is long-term treatment. We cannot live in China all our lives. Katie must start receiving preschool education in another three years. We will definitely come back then. What I want to know is, do we have shares and options treatment in the past three years? If so, we can do it. At least we can make more money and exchange for a bigger house in a better community."

ben.clarkson said awkwardly: "I didn't have the nerve to ask about Li Mu's specific treatment. What I thought at that time was that when facing a legendary figure like her, even if I didn't give me money, I would be willing to work for a while first..."

Sophia knew her husband very well, and smiled helplessly and said, "Let's do this, you can ask Li Mu what the specific treatment is. If he can give us a longer-term choice, then I will support you no matter how you decide!"
