Reborn in 2005: Starting with Software

Fortunately, I gave away 90% of the shares when I first started Renren.com, so being reborn means I'm just working for someone else.

1. The synopsis repeatedly mentions "rogue software." For example, when I see this synopsis, I immediately assume the protagonist uses dirty tricks and fancy maneuvers, but in the end, nothing happens. The protagonist is constantly worried about damaging the company's image, afraid to do this or that. When other hackers attack, the protagonist doesn't even have a way to retaliate.

I've seen other people write about companies giving stock incentives to high-performing employees when they're about to go public. But your post is about a reborn person spending 1 million to give stock to others. You might as well have just made empty promises in the beginning.

The beginning was so ridiculous. It was all just mundane family stuff. And then they added two female characters to the mix... It was so boring it was about to explode. So, you're here to write a novel, not a diary. A novel needs to have a sensational element. It needs to generate buzz.

1. Lacking the passion of the startup phase, everything seemed to fall into place naturally. 2. Everything they do succeeds; it's pure money-making; all the heroes in the world are their ATMs. 3. The business is too large, with each business operating independently. It's baffling that it can achieve a leading position without any synergy. 4. I don't understand why there's a vase.

The protagonist is a reborn individual who knows where the opportunities lie. In the early stages, all he needs is some capable, efficient employees. The strategy is to cast a wide net, recruit widely to expand the business, and then design a talent incentive equity mechanism. This saves costs and motivates employees. But what is the author writing?

Amazing! After listening to over 60 chapters, I still have no idea what the story is about. It completely avoids the exciting parts. What's the appeal of this kind of novel? The financial impact on market capitalization, massive user base, the influence on the environment at the time—these are all numerical or data-driven.

They just hand out money right away, I don't want to watch anymore. What kind of boss can't make promises?

After reading it, I realized that the article only mentioned less than a year. With such a short timeline, they developed games, a security management system, an input method, voice recognition, e-commerce, and even became number one in some local industries. It seems too rushed and unrealistic.

I hate novels that randomly distribute shares in the early stages. Why is it so hard to find an internet novel that doesn't randomly distribute shares in the early stages? Like that novel next door about Renren.com, the protagonist only had 10% of the shares in the early stages. I was so angry when I saw that. The comments were all cursing the author and the author wouldn't change it.
