Chapter 1337 Integrating the Streaming Media Technology Team

After returning from China, Ivanka was greatly encouraged.

Unexpectedly, a little bit of detailed analysis in the preliminary work was highly praised and affirmed by Wu Tao.

And therefore put a greater responsibility on her shoulders.

Ivanka felt that this feeling was something that Molly and Panis had never had before.

After landing in California, Ivanka made a non-stop visit to Eaton Holman, the leader of Blockbuster who was responsible for practicing streaming media technology.

Eaton was surprised by Ivanka's visit.

After all, he had left Blockbuster for more than two years, and the development experience that year was not pleasant.

This directly led to his parting ways with his employer, Blockbuster Company.

To this day, he has not found a job with a higher salary than Blockbuster.

Because of this, Eaton has personal experience of the winter of the Internet.

Therefore, he was unwilling to mention the bad experience of falling into a pit unless necessary.

However, Ivanka is a charming beauty after all.

Beautiful women always have privileges.

At least when Eaton saw Ivanka smiling, all his words of rejection were forgotten.

He even came up with the idea of ​​using the meager money in his pocket to buy this coffee.

Ivanka pays special attention to the technical talents that Wu Tao likes.

Even though this young man is less than thirty, he already shows the vicissitudes of a middle-aged man.

"Can you talk about your experience and gains when you hosted and developed the online video playback project at Blockbuster?"

The past is hard to look back on, but we have to face it eventually.

Eaton wiped his face and began to talk about the tragic failure in a low voice.

It was somewhat difficult for Ivanka to understand many of the professional terms used in Eaton’s conversation.

But she cleverly marked some key words, such as streaming data, multimedia transmission protocol, encoder, player, browser, etc.

The frequency of these words mentioned in the other party's words directly determines the weight and value of the technology in his hands.

Unexpectedly, Eaton's talk lasted for two hours, which included a lot of failed experiences and reflections.

Ivanka didn't quite understand it, but she still felt it was important.

In the end, Ivanka immediately decided not to report to Wu Tao, but to decide on this person first.

"Eaton, can you reassemble the technical team members from back then?"

Eaton was stunned. He immediately understood Ivanka's intention, "Do you plan to rebuild the streaming media technology team and once again attack the development and application of streaming media technology?"

"Can't you?" Ivanka crossed her legs gracefully and took a sip of coffee.

"But this is too difficult!" Eaton shook his head dejectedly. "With the current technical background and the current status of the Internet industry, no one can really solve it and promote it."

Ivanka frowned. Isn’t this too absolute?

His impression of Eaton dropped a lot because of these words.

Until Eaton swept away his dejected look and added excitedly: "Unless Internet industry giants like Huaxia Wu focus on this area, it is really possible to succeed."

Ivanka smiled lightly. Fortunately, you added it in time, otherwise the leader position of this new team would be gone.

But she did not intend to state Wu Tao's behind-the-scenes status in this matter.

Instead, he asked in a subtle way: "What do you think of SkyScape?"

Eaton spread his hands and said, "How else can I look at it? Diamond IT Company in Silicon Valley, Huaxia Wu Industry, 10 employers in Silicon Valley for many years, I would never dream of joining."

"Then why not give it a try?" Ivanka asked with interest.

"How come there isn't?" Eaton nodded heavily, "Of course I tried it."

"...SkyScape's Lab Research department is very interested in my development resume, but they want me to lead the entire team."

"...At that time, several team members had non-competition restrictions on other projects, so it ultimately failed to take shape."

Ivanka put down the coffee cup and said, "Hasn't the statute of limitations expired yet?"

Eaton thought thoughtfully and said, "I guess it's almost there, but I have to ask to know."

"Then are you interested in leading them to my company?" Ivanka threw out the final bait, "I can provide you with a superior life several times better than now."

Eaton hesitated, "Dear Miss Ivanka, I have some knowledge of your background. With all due respect, you and your family may not be suitable for development in the Internet industry."

“…After all, this is a very professional new industry, which is a pity!”

The first meeting and conversation ends here.

Before parting, Ivanka did not reveal anything about Wu Tao, but repeatedly reminded him: "Try to contact and discuss with your team members. If you are willing, please call me at any time."

Just like that, three days flew by in the blink of an eye.

Then four days, five days, until a week later at night.

For a week, there was no call from Eaton.

Not interested at all?

Ivanka patiently dialed Eaton's phone again, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about it?"

Eaton on the other end of the phone did not say much, but refused directly: "I'm sorry, Miss Ivanka. However, I still want to thank you for your suggestion. I will treat you to coffee when I have the opportunity, so please be sure to appreciate it."

Then the call was hung up.

Ivanka was at a loss when she heard it, feeling like a treasure that she clearly valued was suddenly intercepted by others.

etc……

Ivanka seemed to realize something, and hesitantly picked up the landline and dialed Wu Tao directly.

When Wu Tao received the call, he had just seen off Cao Yicheng, so he was in a happy mood. "How are you doing, Ivanka?"

"It's okay, but Wu, what I want to ask is, can you confirm right away whether SkyScape is interviewing someone named Eaton Holman and his team members recently?"

Wu Tao readily agreed, "Okay, it's not difficult. But why do you have to ask them?"

"Because they are the team that was responsible for the development and application of streaming media technology at Blockbuster! In the last meeting and exchange, Eaton showed a strong interest in SkyScape both in and out of words."

"...and from the phone call just now, I vaguely felt that they were looking for a new owner."

When Wu Tao heard this, he immediately paid attention to it and said, "I'll ask him right away."

Contacting SkyScape's human resources was relayed through Qiu Wuyan.

After waiting for half an hour, Wu Tao got the result.

Fortunately, the results are delightful.

As expected by Ivanka, Eaton and his team are in contact with SkyScape, and have already discussed the final round of breach costs related to the non-compete regulations of some members of the team.

Isn’t it just spending money?

Wu Tao decisively instructed Qiu Wuyan: Promise them!

Then he called Ivanka back and Wu Tao was in a good mood.

But Ivanka on the other end of the phone was a little depressed, "I'm sorry, Wu, that I couldn't successfully complete the task you assigned me."

"NONONO!" Wu Tao said with a smile, "This matter is still a credit to you! Moreover, the labor cost for SkyScape to recruit them is much lower than we expected."
