I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"No need, Mr. Jiang! I have thought it through clearly!"

"Since you and I developed this Totoro Live, I treat it as my own son. I will recognize it even if it cannot be listed in the future."

This is the importance of the founding team. Not to mention Chen Peng, in fact, the founding team he initially recruited consisted of less than ten people.

As a pioneer, I have a special feeling for the Totoro Live broadcast that I personally launched and brought to the market.

It is estimated that unless the founder Jiang Hao is dishonest in the future or forces several people to leave, most of them are determined to follow Jiang Hao.

"And I believe in you!"

"Since you have been able to develop Totoro Live from scratch to what it is today and have attracted Hillhouse Capital to invest, I believe my choice is not wrong."

When saying this, Jiang Hao could really feel the light flashing in the eyes of Chen Peng who was sitting opposite him.

He had also felt this feeling of being trusted when he was a project manager in his previous life and when he had to deal with the only two colleagues working on the team.

In his previous life, Jiang Hao did not disappoint those two colleagues. At least he was the one who handled the high performance and project bonuses and gave them more.

Faced with this kind of trust, Jiang Hao hoped that he would consider it carefully.

"Old Chen, your last company has already reached Series B, but you don't seem to be very confident that it can go public, right?"

"Although I am touched by your confidence in Totoro Live, we still have to live after all."

"After working for so many years, you should think it through carefully!"

To be honest, it is rare to find a startup company boss like him who promises the opposite these days.

However, Chen Peng's attitude remained unmoved, and it seemed that he really regarded the Totoro live broadcast as an opportunity in his life.

No matter what Jiang Hao said today, Chen Peng would probably be more optimistic about the company's future.

In this case, Jiang Hao stopped persuading him. He watched him sign the document and leave it there, then called the next old employee in.

For the 14 people in the earliest angel round, whether they were in administration or finance, Jiang Hao had more or less prepared some options for them.

It’s just that the quantity is not that much. Including Chen Peng’s, the option pool promised a total of 2.5%.

As for the remaining 7.5% of the company's option pool, 1.5% is reserved for the future CEO and 6% is reserved for stock grants before subsequent rounds of financing.

Li Weiping, Yu Liping, Zhang Jing and other earliest employees who came in later all chose high options without exception.

This made Jiang Hao feel quite emotional for a moment.

As for Chen Peng and the other founders, the feeling of complete trust in his eyes was much more firm than that of the several people who led the team in his previous life.

For a while, the idea of ​​making Totoro Live a success, taking it public and helping everyone achieve financial freedom really came to his mind.

Before the options were distributed today, Jiang Hao honestly still had the same go-with-the-flow attitude as before.

He is carrying out the Totoro Live broadcast step by step. If it can be listed, that would be the best. If not, he will run away as soon as possible.

At six o'clock tonight, most of the colleagues in the company have left work.

Jiang Hao sat quietly in the office, and for the first time he fell into deep thought about the development of Totoro Live Company and his inner attitude towards it.

He truly felt that he was fully trusted and that there was a small group of people behind him who were pushing him forward with all their strength.

Jiang Hao doesn't consider himself a saint. He is afraid of trouble by nature. When faced with hooliganism, he can be even more shameless than the other party.

But faced with the sincere trust of others, he really couldn't turn a blind eye.

If others respect me one foot, I will respect them one yard. This is the principle he truly believes in.

It was not until 8 o'clock in the evening that I saw the WeChat message from Yu Xintong on my phone asking about the news.

After giving a simple reply, Jiang Hao let out a long sigh.

"It looks like this Totoro is live streaming. I can't run away!"

……

If we were to say what Jiang Hao’s favorite time of the day is, besides playing on the playground with Yu Xintong, it would naturally be spending time in the laboratory.

How do you describe this feeling? It's like you're not busy, but watching others busy, and you can also chat with your juniors who are free.

It would be much more interesting than playing games alone at night like he does now.

Games are boring if you don't have friends to play with.

In the laboratory, Jiang Hao really enjoyed the feeling of half studying and half working, and he could also relax and do some fishing.

Of course, it’s not all happy times in the lab, like today.

He brought his computer and arrived at the conference room in the school early. Many classmates had already arrived there.

After all, it was the day of a large group meeting, and Professor Zou usually only held such meetings a few times a year.

Anyway, this is Jiang Hao’s first group meeting since he entered school.

Just the biweekly group meetings alone made him feel like he was half in prison, and he would often leave to urinate ten minutes after the meeting started.

When he came back, the tutor would usually tacitly skip his speech.

But he was afraid that he would not have this opportunity to attend the group meeting this time, and he still had to report on his work.

At nine o'clock in the morning, several core members of the group were already sitting at the front of the long round table.

Professor Zou, Associate Professor Duan, Associate Professor Huang, and two young faces that Jiang Hao had rarely seen were also sitting nearby.

"Before this group meeting begins, let me introduce you all."

"These two are postdoctoral fellows Zhu Han and Xiao Qihao, who are new to our group."

"My group currently has a lot of work to do, and there are not many PhD students, so we have recruited two external helpers! Liu Shihao, please make specific arrangements for the two people after the group meeting."

"Xiaotong, what's going on with these two people?"

Professor Zou was talking at the top, and Jiang Hao was sitting next to Yu Xintong, and at this moment he hurried to find out.

"Our team is really too busy. Didn't Fu Hao increase his workload recently?"

"He always complained to the teacher, so he asked two new people to come from the postdoctoral mobile station in the institute."

"He said he graduated with a doctorate from Jiangnan University. His term of service is two years. He will work in our group anyway."

Yu Xintong was very familiar with the two people's situation. After all, it was to reduce the workload of their team.

The so-called postdoctoral degree is not an academic qualification. It just means that after graduating with a doctorate, you can choose to stay in a postdoctoral mobile station of a university for a few years as a postdoctoral fellow and engage in scientific research for a period of time.

Some people intend to stay in a certain school so they go there and wait for opportunities.

Some do it to relieve employment pressure, or they haven't decided on their future career path yet, so they just want to accumulate some scientific research experience.

Moreover, the salary paid by the postdoctoral workstation itself is not low. Compared with the hard work during the doctoral studies, the salary from the workstation is definitely a considerable income.

In fact, it is more appropriate to regard a postdoctoral fellowship as a period of work experience.

"There are more important things to do this month. Several PhD and Master students in our group, including Liu Shihao, are preparing to graduate and defend their dissertations."

“So this is also the last group meeting for these students before graduation, so everyone cheer up!”

After several reminders from Professor Zou, everyone who was already sitting upright became even more energetic.

The doctoral students are actually better off, after all, Professor Zou, their great supervisor, has given them quite a few guidance.

But for master's students, it is not easy to meet Professor Zou. There are only a few experiences of making reports in front of this "Young Outstanding Scientist" director.

As for people like Fu Ying in Jiang Hao's own group, she is only a first-year graduate student and has no achievements to report yet.

I can only talk about my progress in studying the literature, and I feel a little nervous.
